Recent Accounting Standards
- ---------------------------
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,
"Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"), and No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which
are effective July 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002, respectively,
for the corporation. SFAS 141 requires all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 to use the purchase method of
accounting. SFAS 142 will discontinue the amortization of
goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business
combinations, upon adoption of this standard. All goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives will be evaluated on
an ongoing basis for impairment in accordance with the provisions
of the Statement. Based upon the corporation's initial assessment
of these Statements, adoption is not anticipated to have a material
impact on the corporation's financial position or results of
operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Consolidated revenues for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 were $219.4 million and $658.8 million
respectively, compared to $255.4 million and $778.8 million for the
comparable periods of 2000. These results reflect a weak global
economy and were affected by a second quarter sales and pre-tax
earnings adjustment in the Aerospace segment of $31.2 million,
substantially all of which was associated with a change in
estimated costs to complete the SH-2G(A) helicopter program for
Australia. This adjustment has had the effect of lowering the
profit rate on the Australia program as of June 30 and for the
balance of the contract. The cost growth is related to a contract
dispute settlement with Litton Guidance and Control Systems (now
part of Northrop Grumman) regarding development of an advanced
Integrated Tactical Avionics System (ITAS) that is unique to the
Australia program. The corporation is in the process of completing
negotiations for replacement subcontracts, a principal element of
that cost growth.
Aerospace segment net sales were $77.1 million and $223.8 million
for the third quarter and nine-month period of 2001, respectively,
compared to $85.6 million and $281.0 million in the same periods of
last year. The Aerospace segment's principal programs include
helicopter manufacturing, aircraft structures subcontract work and
manufacture of components such as self-lubricating bearings and
drive-line couplings for aircraft applications, and advanced
technology products.
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 programs represented
approximately 43 percent of segment net sales for the third quarter
of 2001, compared to approximately 54 percent for 2000. The lower
percentage for the third quarter is due to a tapering off in
revenues from the SH-2G program as the Australia and New Zealand
programs mature and lower K-MAX program sales.
The SH-2G helicopter program (which constituted virtually all of
the segment's total helicopter program sales in the third quarter)
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.

KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The program for New Zealand involves five (5) aircraft and support
for the Royal New Zealand Navy. The contract has an anticipated
value of about $185 million (US), of which 92 percent has now been
recorded as revenue. Two aircraft were shipped during the second
quarter and two aircraft are scheduled for shipment before the end
of the year, with final acceptance of these four aircraft to follow
thereafter. Delivery of the fifth aircraft, which was ordered after
the initial contract, is planned for next year.
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 $700 million (US). The helicopter production portion of the
work is currently valued at $580 million, of which 81 percent
(including the effect of the second quarter adjustment) has
been recorded as revenue.
One result of the process of negotiating new subcontracts for
production of the full ITAS software is that Kaman will have
responsibility for aircraft integration testing (a task previously
subcontracted to Litton). This new responsibility along with the
estimated time frame for the subcontractors' development of the
full ITAS software suggests that there will be a longer delay than
previously anticipated in delivery of the full ITAS software to
Australia. The corporation is working with the Royal Australian
Navy to develop satisfactory procedures for approval of the new
software subcontractor arrangements being made, and thereafter
procedures for interim acceptance of the aircraft without the full
ITAS software. When fully equipped with ITAS, the SH-2G (A) will
provide the most sophisticated, integrated cockpit and weapons
available in an intermediate-weight helicopter.
The corporation believes that international market opportunities
for the SH-2G are good, even though the market is highly
competitive and influenced by political and economic conditions.
The corporation is currently in a competition to provide six search
and rescue helicopters for the government of Egypt, however, an
award decision is not expected until after the end of this year.
The corporation is also in discussions with the U.S. Navy regarding
refurbishment of four of the U.S. Naval Reserve's surplus SH-2G
helicopters for the Polish navy, along with future training and
support.

KAMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Continued
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.
On the K-MAX helicopter program, the corporation continues its
efforts to refocus 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, unmanned vehicle applications and the movement of
equipment.
Net sales for the portion of the Aerospace segment that performs
subcontract work and manufactures aircraft components represented
about 40 percent of sales for the third quarter, compared to
approximately 32 percent in the period last 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. The Aerospace
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;
this business had another favorable quarter with increased sales
compared to last year. Given the importance of Boeing as a customer
to the Aerospace subcontract and component manufacturing business,
management is concerned by Boeing's warnings of a significant
decline in commercial aircraft production for 2002 and 2003, a
situation made worse by the tragic events of September 11,
2001. Management intends to monitor the situation closely.
The Aerospace segment also produces advanced technology products,
including missile safe, arm and fuzing devices, precision measuring
systems, mass memory systems, electromagnetic motors, microwave
cabling, and electro-optic devices. Net sales for this portion of
the segment's business was about 17 percent of segment sales in the
third quarter, compared to approximately 14 percent last year.
Industrial Distribution segment net sales were $109.6 million and
$345.7 million for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 respectively, compared to $133.5 million
and $403.0 million for the same periods of 2000. Management
believes that these results reflect the fact that the U.S.
industrial sector has been in decline for more than a year
with manufacturing already in recession conditions. The
corporation began implementing programs last year to
streamline operations and control costs and these efforts have
helped the segment to remain competitive and profitable in a
challenging environment.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
At the end of the third quarter, the Industrial Distribution
segment acquired the industrial distribution business of A-C
Supply, Inc. of Wisconsin. The acquisition strengthens the
segment's presence in key industrial markets in the upper Midwest
and will facilitate service to national account customers with
operating plants in that region. This acquisition also represents
an incremental step in the Corporation's overall strategy of
building the value of its businesses through acquisitions and
internal growth.
Music Distribution net sales were $32.4 million and $88.4 million
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001
respectively, compared to $36.1 million and $94.0 million a year
ago. This business has been affected by overall weakness in
consumer markets both internationally and in the U.S.. Although the
second half of the year has traditionally been the stronger sales
period in this business, management is watching for evidence of
consumer willingness and ability to spend in view of the current
weak economy and world situation. The business is focusing on cost
reduction and implementing strategies to enhance its already strong
market position.
The corporation's segments, in total, had operating profit of $13.0
million and $12.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2001, respectively, compared to an operating profit
of $18.6 million and $54.4 million for the same periods of 2000.
The nine months results reflect the second quarter sales and
earnings adjustment of $31.2 million. For the Aerospace segment,
there were operating profits of $8.1 million for the third quarter,
compared to $10.9 million last year. This segment had an operating
loss of $2.7 million for the nine-month period of 2001, primarily
due to the second quarter sales and earnings adjustment, compared
to an operating profit of $33.0 million in the same period last
year. Operating profits for the Industrial Distribution
segment were $2.7 million and $11.3 million for the third
quarter and nine months of 2001, respectively, compared to
$5.2 million and $16.8 million for the same periods last year,
reflecting lower sales volume due to adverse economic
conditions. Operating profits for the Music Distribution
business were $2.3 million in the third quarter and $4.2
million for the nine-month period, compared to $2.5 million
and $4.6 million for the same periods of 2000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, interest income
earned from investment of cash virtually offset interest expense.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Other income for 2001 includes gains from the sale of facilities of
$2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
As a result of the $31.2 million sales and earnings adjustment, the
corporation has adjusted its 2001 estimated effective tax rate
to 25.0 percent, primarily due to reduced tax considerations on the
Australia SH-2G program. The consolidated effective income tax rate
for the same period last year was 36.0 percent.
The corporation had net earnings of $8.5 million ($0.37 cents
per share diluted)for the third quarter compared to $9.5 million
($0.40 cents per share diluted) last year. As a result of the
sales and earnings adjustment, for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, the corporation had net earnings of $4.8 million ($0.21
cents per share diluted)compared to $27.4 million ($1.15 per share
diluted)in the same period last year. Results for the 2001 nine-
month period include pre-tax gains of $2.7 million from the sale of
two facilities in the first half and $2.1 million from a reduction
in the stock appreciation rights accrual in the third quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
On an annual basis, 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 nine months of 2001, operating activities used
cash, in part due to reductions in accounts payable for each of the
corporation's business segments as well as the Aerospace segment's
advances on contracts. This was offset to some extent by a
decrease in inventories, largely in the Industrial Distribution
segment. Other items include a decrease in accounts receivable,
which is generally due to the $31.2 million sales and earnings
adjustment and a reduction in income taxes payable and an increase
in other current assets, which relate primarily to the tax benefits
associated with the adjustment.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
During the first nine months of 2001, cash was used in investing
activities for the A-C Supply asset acquisition and for the
purchase of items such as machinery and computer equipment, which
usage was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of assets.
Cash used by financing activities was primarily attributable to the
payment of dividends to common shareholders, and to a lesser degree
the sinking fund requirement for the corporation's debentures
(described below)and repurchase of the Corporation's Class A common
stock.
At September 30, 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. As of September 30, 2001, 61,150
shares had been repurchased.
The corporation had $20.8 million in cash and cash equivalents
at September 30, 2001, with an average of $37.3 million for
the first nine months of 2001. These funds have been invested
in high quality short term investments.
The corporation maintains a revolving credit agreement involving a
group of financial institutions. The agreement has a maximum
unsecured line of credit of $225 million, which consists of a $150
million commitment for five (5) years and a $75 million commitment
under a "364 day" arrangement which is renewable annually for an
additional 364 days. The $75 million commitment was so renewed on
November 9, 2001. The most restrictive of the covenants contained
in the agreement requires the corporation to have EBITDA, as
defined, at least equal to 300% of net interest expense and a ratio
of consolidated total indebtedness to total capitalization of not
more than 55%.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Letters of credit are generally considered borrowings for purposes
of the revolving credit agreement. A total of $51.6 million in
letters of credit are currently outstanding under the revolver,
most of which is related to the Australia SH-2G helicopter program.
Reductions to the Australia letter of credit are anticipated as
certain contract milestones are reached and as the corporation and
the Australian government agree upon a modified acceptance schedule
for the SH-2G(A)s.
Average bank borrowings for the nine months ended September 30,
were $2.2 million, compared to $2.6 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

helicopter programs, aircraft structures and components, the
industrial and music distribution businesses, earnings expectations
for future periods 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 competitions and
thereafter 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) negotiation of
subcontracts for, and 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

Condition and Results of Operations
helicopter; 7) U.S. industrial production levels; 8) changes
in supplier sales policies; 9) the effect of price increases
or decreases; 10) currency exchange rates, taxes, laws and
regulations, inflation rates, general business conditions and
other factors; and 11) potential effects of the September 11
attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon
in Washington, D.C.. Any forward-looking information should be
considered with these factors in mind.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
The corporation has various market risk exposures that arise
from its normal business operations, including currency
exchange rates, supplier price changes, and interest rates as
well as other factors described in the Forward-Looking
Statements section of this report.
The corporation's exposure to currency exchange rates is
managed at the corporate and subsidiary operations levels as
an integral part of the business.
The corporation's exposure to supplier sales policies and price
changes relates primarily to its distribution businesses and the
corporation seeks to manage this risk through its procurement
policies and maintenance of favorable relationships with suppliers.
The corporation's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily
to its financial instruments, which include short-term investments
with market interest rates and debt obligations with fixed interest
rates. Currently the corporation has limited exposure in this area
due to the level of its fixed rate debt obligation and borrowings
under its financing arrangements. Where it currently exists,
interest rate risk is managed through the use of a combination of
fixed rate long-term debt and variable rate borrowings under its
financing arrangements. Letters of credit are generally considered
borrowings for purposes of the corporation's revolving credit
agreement; they are not subject to interest rate risk, however,
fees are charged based upon the corporation's usage and credit
rating.
There has been no significant change in the corporation's exposure
to these market risk factors during the third quarter of 2001.
Management believes that any near-term change in the market risk
factors described above should not materially affect the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows of the corporation.
