Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
           Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001
were $244.7 million compared to $263.5 million for the same
period of 2000.

Aerospace segment net sales were $92.2 million for the first
quarter of 2001 compared to $96.5 million for the first quarter
of 2000, as revenues for the SH-2G naval helicopter have begun to
taper off.  The Aerospace segment's principal programs include
helicopter manufacturing (currently about 52% of segment sales),
aircraft structures subcontract work and manufacture of
components such as self-lubricating bearings and driveline
couplings for aircraft applications (currently about 35% of
segment sales), and advanced technology products (currently about
13% of segment sales).

The corporation's helicopter programs include the SH-2G multi-
mission naval  helicopter and the K-MAX (registered trademark)
medium-to-heavy lift helicopter.  Helicopter program net sales
for the first quarter of 2001 were down 15 percent compared to
the same period of last year.

The SH-2G helicopter program (which constitutes the primary
component of the segment's total helicopter program sales)
generally involves retrofit of the corporation's SH-2F
helicopters, previously manufactured for the U.S. Navy (and in
storage) to the SH-2G configuration.  The corporation is
currently performing this work under commercial contracts with
the governments of Australia and New Zealand.

The program for New Zealand involves five (5) aircraft and
support for the Royal New Zealand Navy.  The contract has an
anticipated value of $180 million (US), of which 87% has now been
recorded as revenue.  The delivery process for the first aircraft
began during April, 2001.

The program for Australia involves eleven (11) helicopters with
support, including a support services facility, for the Royal
Australian Navy.  The total contract has an anticipated value
of about $680 million (US). The  helicopter production portion of
the work is valued at $559 million, of which 80% has been
recorded as revenue.

The SH-2G(A) helicopter for Australia will contain an
integrated tactical avionics system ("ITAS") that will provide
the most sophisticated, integrated cockpit and weapons system

available in an intermediate-weight helicopter.  Due to a
contract dispute between the corporation and its subcontractor,
Litton Guidance and Control Systems (the designer and
integrator of the ITAS system for the Australia program), there
will be a delay in delivery of the full ITAS to Australia.  As
a result of mediation between the corporation and Litton, an
agreement in principle was reached in February, 2001 under which
the two parties agreed to withdraw their claims upon fulfillment
of mutually agreed commitments.  Litton's significant
responsibilities for the Australia program will end once it
completes work on hardware and certain software and transfers a
software integration laboratory, software and intellectual
property rights to the corporation.  In return, the corporation
will make certain milestone payments to Litton as it finishes the
aforementioned work and will assume responsibility for several
remaining elements of the project. Management is currently
negotiating contracts with other subcontractors (which must
be acceptable to the Australian government) to complete the
balance of ITAS software development. Once these arrangements are
finalized, management expects to have improved visibility on the
overall impact upon  costs and profitability for the Australia
program.  The corporation is also working with the Royal
Australian Navy to develop satisfactory procedures for approval
of the new subcontractor arrangements, interim acceptance of the
aircraft without the full ITAS and coordination of this year's
deliveries of those aircraft (one of which is already in
Australia).

Management expects that as the New Zealand and Australia programs
wind down, revenues from the SH-2G programs will decrease during
2001.  The corporation believes that the potential market for
additional SH-2G helicopter programs is promising, even though
the market is highly competitive and influenced by political and
economic conditions.  For example, the corporation is in the late
stages of competition for up to eight search and rescue
helicopters for the government of Egypt. The SH-2G size is well
suited for operating from the types of ships in service with the
Egyptian Navy.  In its last procurement for anti-submarine
warfare helicopters, the Republic of Egypt selected ten SH-2Gs,
which have been in service since 1998 and for which the
corporation continues to provide on-site support.  The
corporation is also in discussions with the U.S. Navy regarding
refurbishment of four SH-2G helicopters for use by the Polish
government, along with future training and support.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
           Condition and Results of Operations

The corporation has taken a consignment of the Navy's inventory
of SH-2 spare parts under a multi-year agreement that provides
the corporation the  ability to utilize certain inventory for
support of the corporation's other SH-2 programs while also
supporting U.S. Naval Reserve needs for the three SH-2G aircraft
that it currently operates.

During the first quarter of 2001, the corporation substantially
completed performance on the order for five K-MAX aircraft
that was received from the  U.S. State Department in December,
2000.  It is expected that these aircraft will be used in Peru
for anti-drug efforts.  The corporation  continues its efforts to
refocus K-MAX sales development on global market opportunities in
industry and government, including oil and gas exploration, power
line and other utility construction, fire fighting, law
enforcement, and the movement of equipment.  Management is
optimistic that the lifting capability and operating cost
advantages of the K-MAX will enable the program to contribute to
the long-term profitability of the corporation.

Net sales for the portion of the Aerospace segment that
performs subcontract work and manufactures aircraft components
increased 11 percent for the first quarter of 2001 compared to
the prior year.  The segment is involved in a number of
commercial and defense aviation programs, including production
of wing structures and other components for virtually all
Boeing commercial aircraft as well as components for the Boeing
C-17 transport and F-22 fighter.  Work continues on two multi-
year contracts received last year from MD Helicopters, Inc. to
supply fuselages for that company's entire line of single-
engine helicopters and composite rotor blades for its MD
Explorer helicopter.  The segment's component manufacturing
includes self-lubricating bearings for use principally in
aircraft flight controls, turbine engines and landing gear, and
driveline couplings for helicopters.

The Aerospace segment also produces advanced technology products,
including missile fuzing devices, precision measuring systems,
electromagnetic motors and electro-optic devices.  Net sales of
this portion of the segment's business increased 8 percent from
the same quarter last year.

Industrial Distribution segment net sales were $123.1 million for
the first  quarter of 2001 compared to $136.4 million for the
same period of 2000, due to a slowdown in the U.S. economy.
Since the segment's customers encompass business in nearly every
sector of U.S. industry, this business tends to be affected by
industrial production levels.  During the first quarter of

           Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

2001, weakness was experienced particularly in the automotive and
steel sectors and the energy crisis on the west coast was
disruptive to the customer base from California to Washington.
The segment adjusted to these  circumstances by taking steps to
reduce expenses and improve efficiency, including consolidation
of some branches.  Management believes that these actions will
position the segment to benefit significantly in an economic
recovery.

The Industrial Distribution segment's Internet e-Commerce site
was implemented last year and has been well received by a variety
of customers. The site contains a complete catalog of product
offerings (with more than one million industrial products) and
provides an additional channel for both current and new customers
to transact business with the segment.

Music Distribution net sales were $29.3 million for the quarter
ended March  31, 2001 compared to $30.4 million a year ago, due
to the economic slowdown and an overall softening in the music
market.  While sales to the larger retail stores have continued
to be relatively strong, it appears that other retailers have
been working to reduce inventories carried over from a slow
holiday sales period last year.

Total operating profit for all the corporation's business
segments for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $16.6 million
compared to $17.8 million the prior year.  These lower operating
profits were offset by a $0.7 million gain from the sale of a
facility and reduced corporate expenses.  Operating profit for
the Aerospace segment was $10.2 million for the first quarter
of 2001 compared to $10.8 million a year ago; operating profit
increases in the K-MAX program, aircraft subcontracting, and
advanced technology sectors of the businesses were offset by
the effect of maturation of the Australia and New Zealand SH-2G
helicopter programs.  Operating profit for the Industrial
Distribution segment was $5.1 million for the first quarter
compared to $5.5 million a year ago, reflecting the economic
slowdown.  Operating profit for the Music Distribution business
was $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared
to $1.5 million the previous year, due to economic conditions.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, interest income earned from
investment of cash more than offset interest expense.

The consolidated effective income tax rate was 35.1% for the
first quarter of 2001 compared to 36.2% for the same period of
2000.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
           Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)



Net earnings for the first quarter of 2001 were 38 cents per
common share on a diluted basis compared to 36 cents per common
share for the first quarter of 2000 on the same basis.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The corporation's cash flow from operations has generally been
sufficient to finance a significant portion of its working
capital and other capital requirements.

During the first quarter of 2001, operating activities used
cash, in large part due to reductions in the Aerospace
segment's advances on contracts and accounts payable. This
was offset to some extent by decreases in inventories in the
Aerospace segment. Management expects that as helicopter
deliveries to Australia are accomplished and new business is
added, this cash situation should tend to reverse itself later
in the year.

During the quarter, cash was used in investing activities for
items such as acquisition of machinery and computer equipment,
which use was more than offset by proceeds from the sale of
assets during the quarter.  Cash used by financing activities was
primarily attributable to the payment of dividends to common
shareholders and the sinking fund requirement for the
corporation's debentures (described below).

At March 31, 2001, the corporation had $24.9 million of its 6%
convertible subordinated debentures outstanding.  The debentures
are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at any time
on or before March 15, 2012 at a  conversion price of $23.36 per
share, generally at the option of the holder.  Pursuant to a
sinking fund requirement that began March 15, 1997, the
corporation redeems approximately $1.7 million of the outstanding
principal of the debentures each year.

In November 2000, the corporation's board of directors authorized
a replenishment of the corporation's stock repurchase program,
providing for the repurchase of an aggregate of 1.4 million Class
A shares for use in administration of the corporation's stock
plans and general corporate purposes.  No shares were repurchased
during the first quarter of 2001.

                    KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
           Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

The corporation had $35.3 million in surplus cash at March 31,
2001, with an average of $38.6 million for the quarter.  These
funds have been invested in high quality short term investments.

The corporation maintains a revolving credit agreement involving
a group of eight financial institutions.  The agreement has a
maximum unsecured line of credit of $225 million which consists
of a $150 million commitment for five years and a $75 million
commitment under a "364 day" arrangement which is renewable
annually for an additional 364 days.  The most restrictive of the
covenants contained in the agreement requires the corporation to
have EBITDA, as defined, at least equal to 300% of interest
expense and a ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total
capitalization of not more than 55%.

Letters of credit are generally considered borrowings for
purposes of the revolving credit agreement.  The governments of
Australia and New Zealand made advance payments of $104.3 million
in connection with their SH-2G contracts in 1997 and those
payments were fully secured by the corporation through issuance
of irrevocable letters of credit.  The face amount of these
letters of credit is currently $41.2 million.  Reductions are
anticipated as certain contract milestones are reached and as the
corporation and the Australian government agree upon an
acceptance and delivery schedule for the SH-2G(A)s.

Average bank borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2001
were $2.1 million, compared to $2.7 million for the same period
of 2000.

Management believes that the corporation's cash flow from
operations and available unused bank line of credit under its
revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to finance its
working capital and other capital requirements for the
foreseeable future.

Management also believes that its strong balance sheet provides
flexibility for it to identify and pursue appropriate
opportunities to expand its businesses.


Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking information relating to the
corporation's business and prospects, including the SH-2G and
K-MAX helicopter programs, aircraft structures and components,
the industrial and music distribution businesses, operating cash

flow and other matters that involve a number of uncertainties
that may cause actual results to differ materially from
expectations.  Those uncertainties include, but are not limited
to: 1) the successful conclusion of contract negotiations with
government authorities, including foreign governments;
2) political developments in countries where the corporation
intends to do business; 3) standard government contract
provisions permitting renegotiation of terms and termination
for the convenience of the government;  4) economic and
competitive conditions in markets served by the corporation,
including industry consolidation in the United States and
global economic conditions;  5) timing of satisfactory
completion of the Australian SH-2G (A) program; 6) timing,
degree and scope of market acceptance for products such as a
repetitive lift helicopter;  7) U.S. industrial production
levels; and 8) currency exchange rates, taxes, laws and
regulations, inflation rates, general business conditions and
other factors. Any forward-looking information should be
considered with these factors in mind.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
         Market Risk

The corporation has financial instruments that are subject to
interest rate risk, including but not limited to short-term
investments and debt obligations.  Short-term investments have
market interest rates and are highly liquid.  The corporation
manages interest rate risk on debt through the use of a
combination of fixed rate long-term debt and variable rate
borrowings under its revolving credit agreement.  Letters of
credit for the SH-2G helicopter contracts are generally
considered borrowings for purposes of the revolving credit
agreement and fees are based upon usage and the corporation's
credit rating.  The corporation believes a near-term change in
market rates would not materially affect the consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
corporation.

The corporation is also subject to various other market risk
factors that arise from normal business operations, as
discussed in the Forward-Looking Statements of this report.
There has been no significant change in the corporation's
exposure to these market risks during the first three months
of 2001.
