NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 (UNAUDITED)

1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Corporation”) is a diversified, multinational manufacturing and service company that designs, manufactures, and overhauls precision components and systems and provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, automotive, shipbuilding, processing, oil, petrochemical, agricultural equipment, railroad, power generation, security, and metalworking industries. Operations are conducted through 58 manufacturing facilities and 64 metal treatment service facilities.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Curtiss-Wright and its majority-owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with the United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.  The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion accounting methods, the estimate of useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flow estimates used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, warranty reserves, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARDS

Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method

In April 2010, new guidance was issued that provides the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate, as well as the associated disclosure requirements.  The new guidance clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent on achieving a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive.  The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial condition.

Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

In September 2009, new guidance was issued on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables.  The new guidance modifies the requirements for determining whether a deliverable can be treated as a separate unit of accounting by removing the criteria that verifiable and objective evidence of fair value exists for undelivered items, establishes a selling price hierarchy to help entities allocate arrangement consideration to separate units of account, requires the relative selling price allocation method for all arrangements, and expands required disclosures.  The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial condition.

NOTES to CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 (UNAUDITED)

Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements

In September 2009, new guidance was issued on certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. The new guidance amended past guidance on software revenue recognition to exclude from scope all tangible products containing both software and non-software elements that function together to interdependently deliver the product’s essential functionality.  The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial condition.

STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS

In May 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to increase transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization.  The new guidance does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards.  The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and is to be adopted prospectively as early adoption is not permitted.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial condition.

Other Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance. The amendment allows the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single or continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this new guidance will not have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation of other comprehensive income.

2.           ACQUISITIONS

The Corporation acquired three businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2011, described in more detail below.

The acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases under the guidance for business combinations, where the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is generally recorded as goodwill.  The Corporation allocates the purchase price, including the value of identifiable intangibles with a finite life, based upon analysis and input from third party appraisals. The purchase price allocation will be finalized no later than twelve months from acquisition.  The results of the acquired businesses have been included in the consolidated financial results of the Corporation from the date of acquisition in the segment indicated.

Metal Treatment Segment

Surface Technologies Division of BASF Corporation

On April 8, 2011, the Corporation acquired certain assets of BASF Corporation’s Surface Technologies (“BASF”) business for $20.5 million in cash. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and provides for a purchase price adjustment based on the value of the closing day inventory.  The purchase price adjustment is reflected in the disclosed purchase price.  Management funded the purchase from the Corporation’s revolving credit facility.

5.           GOODWILL

The Corporation accounts for acquisitions by assigning the purchase price to acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed.  Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are as follows:

	(In thousands)
	Flow Control		Motion Control			Metal Treatment		Consolidated
December 31, 2010	$	310,047	$	354,607		$	28,918	$	693,572

June 30, 2011	$	316,839	$	363,853		$	32,565	$	713,257

The purchase price allocations relating to the businesses acquired are initially based on estimates.  The Corporation adjusts these estimates based upon final analysis including input from third party appraisals, when deemed appropriate.  The determination of fair value is finalized no later than twelve months from acquisition.  Goodwill adjustments represent subsequent adjustments to the purchase price allocation for acquisitions as determined by the respective accounting guidance requirements for business combination accounting based on the date of acquisition.

Total intangible amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $13.4 million.  The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending December 31, 2011 through 2015 is $25.2 million, $24.0 million, $22.2 million, $21.0 million, and $20.0 million, respectively.

7.           FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward foreign exchange and currency option contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions.  The purpose of the Corporation’s foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations.  The Corporation does not elect to receive hedge accounting treatment, and thus records forward foreign exchange and currency option contracts at fair value, with the gain or loss on these transactions recorded into earnings in the period in which they occur. The Corporation does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

All derivative assets are required to be recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments.  These instruments are classified as Other current liabilities and Other current assets. The Corporation utilizes the bid ask pricing that is common in the dealer markets.  The dealers are ready to transact at these prices which use the mid-market pricing convention and are considered to be at fair market value.  Based upon the fair value hierarchy, all of the foreign exchange derivative forwards are valued at a Level 2 measurement (observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data).  The derivative gains and losses are classified within General and administrative expenses.

Debt

The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information which is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues as of June 30, 2011.  The estimated fair values of the Corporation’s fixed rate debt instruments at June 30, 2011 aggregated to $308 million compared to a carrying value of $275 million.

The carrying amount of the variable interest rate debt approximates fair value because the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market conditions.

The fair values described above may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

8.           WARRANTY RESERVES

The Corporation provides its customers with warranties on certain commercial and governmental products.  Estimated warranty costs are charged to expense in the period the related revenue is recognized based on quantitative historical experience.  Estimated warranty costs are reduced as these costs are incurred and as the warranty period expires or may be otherwise modified as specific product performance issues are identified and resolved.  Warranty reserves are included within Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The following table presents the changes in the Corporation’s warranty reserves:

9.           FACILITIES RELOCATION AND RESTRUCTURING

2009 and 2010 Restructuring Plans

In 2009 and 2010, the Corporation completed a plan to restructure existing operations through a reduction in workforce and consolidation of operating locations both domestically and internationally.   During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation incurred costs of $2.5 million consisting of severance costs to involuntarily terminate certain employees, relocation costs, exit activities of certain facilities, including lease cancellation costs and external legal and consulting fees.  These costs were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings within General and administrative expenses, Costs of sales, Selling expenses, and Research and development expenses for $1.4 million, $0.9 million, $0.1 million, and $0.1 million, respectively.  During 2010, the Corporation incurred total costs of $3.0 million related to this initiative in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings within General and administrative expenses, Cost of sales, and Selling expenses for $1.7 million, $1.2 million, and $0.1 million, respectively.

Oil and Gas Restructuring Initiative

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Corporation initiated a restructuring plan within its Oil and Gas division, of the Flow Control segment. The objective of this initiative is to streamline our workflow and consolidate existing facilities.  In the fourth quarter of 2010 and during the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Corporation recorded charges of $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to severance and benefit costs as part of this initiative.  These costs are recorded within General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.  The Corporation is anticipating incurring approximately $0.1 to $0.5 million of additional costs associated with this initiative during the remainder of 2011.  As of June 30, 2011, approximately $0.5 million in payments have been made with the remaining payments expected to be made by December 31, 2011.

10.           PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The following tables are consolidated disclosures of all domestic and foreign defined pension plans as described in the Corporation’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.  The postretirement benefits information includes the domestic Curtiss-Wright Corporation and EMD postretirement benefit plans, as there are no foreign postretirement benefit plans.

Total periodic benefit cost	$	9,513		$	7,390		$	18,945		$	14,783

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Corporation made $22 million in contributions to the Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan, and expects to make total contributions of approximately $35 million in 2011.  In addition, contributions of $3.4 million were made to the Corporation’s foreign benefit plans during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Contributions to the foreign benefit plans are expected to be $4.5 million in 2011.

Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The components of the net postretirement benefit cost for the Curtiss-Wright and EMD postretirement benefit plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

	(In thousands)
	Three Months Ended							Six Months Ended
	June 30,							June 30,

Net periodic postretirement benefit cost		$	(44	)	$	467			$	(89	)	$	934

The reduction in the net periodic postretirement benefit cost is a result of modifications to the EMD Plan benefit design for post 65-retirees which went into effect on January 1, 2011.  The change reduced the benefit obligation by approximately $7.0 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Corporation paid $0.7 million to the postretirement plans.  During 2011, the Corporation anticipates making total contributions of $1.5 million to the postretirement plans.

14.           CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Legal Proceedings

In January 2007, a former executive was awarded approximately $9.0 million in punitive and compensatory damages plus legal costs related to a gender bias lawsuit filed in 2003.  The Corporation recorded a $6.5 million accrual related to the lawsuit.  In August of 2009, the New Jersey Appellate Division reversed in part and affirmed in part the judgment of the trial court, resulting in the setting aside of the punitive damage award and the front pay award of the Plaintiff’s compensatory damages award.  The Plaintiff filed a Petition for Certification with the Supreme Court of New Jersey requesting review of the Appellate Division’s decision.  In December 2010, the Supreme Court of New Jersey issued an opinion reversing the Appellate Division’s decision, and reinstated the judgment rendered by the trial court.  The Corporation filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the Supreme Court of New Jersey.  In the motion, the Corporation requested that the Supreme Court of New Jersey remand the case back to the lower Appellate Division to resolve certain arguments raised by the Corporation regarding the appropriateness of damages.  The Supreme Court of New Jersey has granted the Corporation’s request for reconsideration and remanded the case back to the lower Appellate Division to decide the remaining undecided arguments raised by the Corporation.  The Corporation now waits for the Appellate Division to provide a scheduling order with regards to future briefing and oral argument on the unresolved issues before the Appellate Division.  In June 2011, Plaintiff filed a Motion for a Partial Dissolve of the Stay of Judgment requesting the Trial Court to authorize payment of counsel fees and economic damages associated with the affirmed discrimination charge in this matter.   The total accrual related to the lawsuit as of June 30, 2011 is approximately $10.6 million and recorded within Other current liabilities of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Consistent with other entities its size, the Corporation is a party to a number of legal actions and claims, none of which individually or in the aggregate, in the opinion of management, are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of operations or financial position.

Environmental Matters

The Corporation’s environmental obligations have not changed significantly from December 31, 2010.  The aggregate environmental liability was $20.7 million at June 30, 2011 and $20.8 million at December 31, 2010.  All environmental reserves exclude any potential recovery from insurance carriers or third-party legal actions.

The Corporation, through its Flow Control segment, has several NRC licenses necessary for the continued operation of its commercial nuclear operations. In connection with these licenses, the NRC required financial assurance from the Corporation in the form of a parent company guarantee, representing estimated environmental decommissioning and remediation costs associated with the commercial operations covered by the licenses. The guarantee for the decommissioning costs of the refurbishment facility, which is estimated for 2017, is $4.5 million.

Letters of Credit and Other Arrangements

The Corporation enters into standby letters of credit agreements and guarantees with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to guarantees of repayment on certain Industrial Revenue Bonds, future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services, and to secure advance payments the Corporation has received from certain international customers.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010,  the Corporation had contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit of $57.2 million and $47.0  million, respectively.

AP1000 Program

The Corporation’s Electro-Mechanical Division is the reactor coolant pump (“RCP”) supplier for the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power plants under construction in China.  The first RCP was scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2011.  During the final phase of testing, the Corporation detected a localized heating issue in the pump stator.  The Corporation is taking the necessary steps to ensure the long-term reliability and safety of the RCP.  As a result of addressing the heating issue, the Corporation increased the estimated contract costs in the second quarter of 2011, which did not result in a material impact to our quarterly financial results.  Based upon current negotiations with the customer, the Corporation believes that the existing contract will be modified to reflect revised delivery dates and that any damage or incentive provisions will be revised accordingly.  Based upon the information available, the Corporation does not believe that the ultimate outcome will result in a material impact to our operations or cash flows.

IMR Test Labs

On July 22, 2011, the Corporation acquired the assets of IMR Test Labs (“IMR”), for approximately $20.0 million in cash.  The Corporation paid $18.0 million at closing, with $2.0 million held back as security for potential indemnification claims.  The agreement also provides for contingent consideration based on achievement of certain sales targets over a two-year period.  Management funded the purchase primarily from the Corporation’s revolving credit facility, and excess cash on hand.  IMR is a provider of mechanical and metallurgical testing services for the aerospace, power generation, and general industrial markets and will operate within the Corporation's Metal Treatment segment.  Revenues of the acquired business were approximately $14 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

ACRA Control Ltd.

On July 28, 2011, the Corporation acquired the stock of ACRA Control Ltd. (“ACRA”) for €42.0 million (approximately $61.0 million) in cash, net of cash acquired.  Management funded the purchase primarily from the Corporation’s revolving credit facility and cash generated from foreign operations.  ACRA is a supplier of data acquisition systems and networks, data recorders, and telemetry ground stations for both defense and commercial aerospace markets.  ACRA will operate within the Corporation’s Motion Control segment and had revenues of approximately €20.5 million ($27.1 million) for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Legacy Distribution Business

On July 29, 2011, the Corporation sold the assets of the legacy distribution business in its Valve Systems and Controls operation to McJunkin Red Man Corporation for $4.6 million in cash, subject to adjustment based on closing inventory values.  Working capital, exclusive of inventory, was retained by the Corporation.  The determination was made to divest the business because it was not considered a core business of the Corporation.  The Corporation will not report the disposal as discontinued operations as the amounts are not considered significant.  This business was part of the Flow Control segment and contributed $13.7 million in sales and a pretax loss of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Analytical Definitions

Throughout management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the terms “incremental” and “organic” are used to explain changes from period to period. The term “incremental” is used to highlight the impact acquisitions had on the current year results, for which there was no comparable prior year period. Therefore, the results of operations for acquisitions are incremental for the first twelve months from the date of acquisition.  The remaining businesses are referred to as the “organic”.  The definition of “organic” excludes the effects of foreign currency translation.

The increase in sales for the current quarter and first six months primarily reflects higher volume in all segments, with the largest percent increase occurring in the Metal Treatment segment. Acquisitions made in the last twelve months contributed approximately $19 million and $26 million, in the current year quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, while the effect of foreign currency translation increased sales by approximately $8 million and $11 million in the current quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively.  The table below further depicts our sales by market.

Commercial sales increased $33 million, or 12%, and $44 million, or 8%, over the comparable prior year quarter and year-to-date periods, primarily due to an increase in sales in the commercial aerospace, general industrial, and power generation markets, offset by a decline in sales in the oil and gas market.  The higher sales in the commercial aerospace, general industrial, and power generation markets were primarily due to increased demand for our metal treatment services, increased sales of  flight controls on Boeing aircraft, and higher sales in support of domestic AP1000 reactor projects. The decrease in sales in our oil and gas market is primarily due to the timing of new orders for international capital projects.

The increase in defense sales of $20 million, or 11%, and $28 million or 8%, over the comparable prior year quarter and year-to-date periods, is primarily due to higher sales in the aerospace defense and naval defense markets.  Sales in the aerospace defense market improved due to increases on the V-22 Osprey program and higher sales of our embedded computing and sensing products on the Black Hawk, while the increase in the naval defense market is primarily due to increased production on the Virginia class submarine.

Operating income

Operating income increased $8 million, or 19%, and $19 million, or 25%, over the comparable prior year quarter and year-to-date periods.  The increase in operating income for the current quarter, and first six months, primarily reflects higher sales volume across all of our segments resulting in improved absorption of overhead costs.  Acquisitions made in the last twelve months had a minimal impact on our current quarter and year-to-date results, while the effects of foreign currency translation decreased current quarter and year-to-date results by $1 million and $2 million, respectively.

Non-segment operating expense

The decrease in non-segment operating expense for the current quarter and first six months of 2011, of $2 million and $4 million, respectively, is primarily due to lower unallocated medical expenses, slightly offset by higher pension costs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

Interest expense

Interest expense for the current quarter and first six months of 2011 decreased primarily due to lower average debt and interest rates as compared to the same periods in 2010.

Effective tax rate

Our effective tax rate for the current quarter and first six months was 32.0% and 32.5%, respectively, compared to 32.0% and 33.7%, in the prior year periods.  The lower effective year-to-date tax rate was primarily due to a one-time tax charge recorded in the first quarter of the prior year associated with a change in the healthcare law.

Net earnings

Net earnings increased $6 million in the current quarter and $14 million in the first six months of 2011, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to our increased operating income and lower interest expense discussed above.

New orders

New orders for the current quarter and first six months of 2011 increased by $100 million and $86 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods.  The increase in new orders is primarily due to higher orders in the power generation market that support existing nuclear operating reactors and increased demand in the oil and gas market for maintenance, repairs, and overhaul (“MRO”) projects and super vessels.  Acquisitions contributed incremental new orders of $32 million and $42 million, to the current year quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively.

Sales

Sales increased $15 million, or 6%, compared to the prior year period, driven by increases of 7% and 5%, in the commercial and defense markets, respectively.  The increase in the commercial markets is primarily due to progress on  domestic AP1000 reactor projects, higher sales to the general industrial market for our commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning products, as well as increased sales in commercial aerospace due to the Douglas acquisition, which contributed $6 million of sales in the current quarter.  These increases were partially offset by a decline in sales in the oil and gas market due to the timing of orders for international capital projects.

The increase in sales in the defense market was primarily driven by increased production on the Virginia class submarine program due to the ramp-up in production from one submarine to two per year.  In addition, we experienced higher sales resulting from increases in productionon the Advanced Arresting Gear for the Ford class aircraft carrier program.  Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in production on certain aircraft carrier programs, particularly the CVN-78 and the Electromagnetic Aircraft LaunchingSystem (“EMALS”) programs.Foreign currency translation added more than $1 million to current period sales.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

Operating income

Operating income increased $2 million, or 10 basis points, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to favorable absorption of overhead costs in the general industrial and naval defense markets and benefits generated by our cost reduction and restructuring programs.  These increases were partially offset by under-absorption of overhead costs in our oil and gas market, primarily the result of delays in new oil and gas capital projects with international customers.   The second quarter of 2011 also included unanticipated costs for investments on the AP1000 program in our power generation market that were comparable to the prior year period.  A description of the investments and risks associated with this project is described in Footnote 14 Contingencies and Commitments. Our acquisition of Douglas and the effects of foreign currency rate changes had a minimal impact on the current period operating income.

New orders

New orders increased $94 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to higher orders in the power generation market that support existing nuclear operating reactors and increased demand in the oil and gas market for MRO projects and super vessels.  Our acquisition of Douglas contributed $20 million to new orders for the current period.

Six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with six months ended June 30, 2010

Sales

Sales increased $13 million, or 3%, in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same period of 2010, largely due to an increase of 6% in the defense market.  The higher defense sales were driven by increases in the naval defense market due to increased production on the Virginia class submarine.  This increase was partially offset by a decrease in production on certain aircraft carrier programs, particularly the CVN-78 and EMALS programs.  Sales in our commercial markets increased 1% due to higher demand in our general industrial market for our industrial control products as well as increased sales in our power generation market due to increased demand on domestic operating reactors.  These increases were partially offset by delays in new oil and gas international capital projects. Our acquisition of Douglas and the effects of foreign currency rate changes contributed $6 million and $2 million, respectively, to current period results.

Operating income

Operating income increased $4 million, or 50 basis points, compared to the same period in 2010,  primarily due to favorable absorption of overhead costs due to higher sales volumes in the general industrial market, benefits generated by our cost reduction and restructuring programs, and lower compensation costs. These increases were partially offset by higher thananticipated costs on several long-term contracts andunder-absorption of fixed overhead costs due to delays in new oil and gas international capital projects.  Our Douglas acquisition and the effects of foreign currency translation had a minimal impact on current period operating income.

New orders

The increase in new orders of $50 million, as compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to higher orders in the power generation market that support existing nuclear operating reactors and increased demand in the oil and gas market for MRO projects and super vessels.   Our acquisition of Douglas contributed $20 million to new orders for the period.

Sales

Sales increased $21 million, or 13%, from the comparable prior year period, driven by increases of 15% and 13%, in the commercial and defense markets, respectively.  Acquisitions made within the last twelve months and the effects of foreign currency rate changes contributed $5 million and $4 million, respectively, to current period sales.

The growth in the commercial market was primarily due to increased sales of our flight controls products on the Boeing 747, 777, and 787 aircraft.  In addition, higher demand for our sensors products contributed to increased sales in the general industrial market. The increase in sales in the defense market was primarily due to increases in the aerospace and ground defense markets. The aerospace defense market was driven by higher sales on the V-22 Osprey program as well as our embedded computing and sensing products on various helicopter programs, including the Blackhawk. The increase in ground defense was mainly due to sales of turret drive systems to international customers and various electronic systems used in ground defense applications.  This performance was partially offset by expected decreases related to the previous cancellations of the F-22 and Future Combat Systems (“FCS”) programs, as well as lower sales on the Bradley platform.

Operating income

Operating income increased $1 million, or 3%, compared to the same period in 2010.  Operating margin decreased 110 basis points from the prior year period to 10.7%, primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation of $2 million, which reduced operating margin by 120 basis points.  Excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation and our recently completed acquisitions, operating margin improved by 60 basis points over the prior year quarter, mainly due to higher sales volumes resulting in favorable absorption of fixed overhead costs, as well as the continual benefits generated by our cost reduction and containment efforts.

New orders

New orders decreased $12 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to the timing of orders on our sensors and controls and embedded computing products. Acquisitions contributed $5 million of incremental new orders to the current period.

Six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with six months ended June 30, 2010

Sales

Sales increased $33 million, or 11%, from the comparable prior year period, driven by increases in the commercial and defense markets, most notably due to higher sales in the commercial aerospace as well aerospace defense and naval defense markets.  Acquisitions made within the last twelve months contributed $13 million to the increase in sales, while the effect of foreign currency translation increased sales by $5 million.

Page 26 of 33

CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

The growth in sales in the commercial aerospace market was primarily due to increases of our flight control products on Boeing 747 and 787 aircraft, as well as increased demand for sensors and controls and embedded computing products on various commercial aircraft. In addition, the incremental results of our acquisition of Hybricon contributed to increased sales in the general industrial market.

The higher sales in the aerospace defense market was driven by increased demand for our embedded computing and sensing products on various helicopter programs, most notably the Blackhawk.  In addition, we realized solid growth on the V-22 Osprey program.  These increases were partially offset by the previous cancellation of the F-22 program. The ground defense market was up slightly due to increases on turret drive systems and the incremental results of our Hybricon acquisition, offset by expected decreases related to the previous cancellations of the FCS program and lower sales on the Bradley platform.

Operating income

Operating income increased $3 million, or 9%, as compared to the same period in 2010.  Operating margin decreased 30 basis points from the prior year period to 10.4%, primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3 million and lower margins from our recently completed acquisitions.  Excluding the impact of acquisitions and the negative impact of foreign currency translation, operating margin improved by 150 basis points over the prior year period, mainly due to higher volume resulting in favorable absorption of fixed overhead costs as well as the continual benefits generated by our cost reduction and containment efforts.

New orders

New orders increased by $9 million, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to incremental orders from acquisitions of $15 million, offset by the timing of new orders on our embedded computing products.

Operating income

Operating income increased $4 million, or 61%, compared to the same period in 2010, and was favorably impacted by approximately $1 million from our BASF acquisition and the effects of foreign currency translation.  Excluding these items, operating margin increased to 14.8%, a 300 basis point improvement over the prior year. The improvement was primarily driven by increased sales volume resulting in favorable absorption of fixed overhead costs, mainly in our shot peening and coatings businesses.

New orders

The increase in new orders of $17 million from the prior year quarter is primarily due to increased orders for domestic and international shot peening services. The acquisition of BASF contributed $7 million of new orders to the current quarter.

Six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with six months ended June 30, 2010

Sales

Sales increased $26 million, or 24%, from the comparable prior year period, due to increased demand across all of our major lines of business and markets, particularly for our shot peening and coatings services to commercial markets. Sales in the commercial aerospace and general industrial market were up 24% and 22%, respectively. Our BASF acquisition and the effects of foreign currency translation contributed $7 million and $3 million, respectively, to current period sales.

Operating income

Operating income increased $8 million, or 64%, compared to the same period in 2010 and was favorably impacted by approximately $1 million from our BASF acquisition and the effects of foreign currency translation. Excluding these items, operating margin increased to 15.3%, a 380 basis point improvement over the prior year. The improvement was primarily driven by increased sales volume resulting in favorable absorption of fixed overhead costs, mainly in our shot peening and coatings businesses.

New orders

The increase in new orders of $27 million as compared to the prior year period is due to increased orders for domestic and international shot peening services. The acquisition of BASF contributed $7 million of new orders to the period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Use of Cash

We derive the majority of our operating cash inflow from receipts on the sale of goods and services and cash outflow for the procurement of materials and labor; cash flow is therefore subject to market fluctuations and conditions. A substantial portion of our business is in the defense sector, which is characterized by long-term contracts.  Most of our long-term contracts allow for several billing points (progress or milestone) that provide us with cash receipts as costs are incurred throughout the project rather than upon contract completion, thereby reducing working capital requirements.  In some cases, these payments can exceed the costs incurred on a project.

CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

Excluding cash, working capital increased $99 million from December 31, 2010.  Working capital changes were affected by an increase in accounts receivable of $40 million due to strong year end collections, as well as an increase in inventory of $52 million due to a build up for future sales, stocking of new programs, and the purchase of long-lead time materials.  In addition, we experienced a decrease in accrued expenses of $15 million primarily due to the payment of annual compensation plans.  During the first six months of 2011, we contributed $22 million to the Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan, and expect to make additional contributions of $13 million during the remainder of 2011.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were $38 million in the first six months of 2011, an increase of $15 million from the prior year period, largely driven by our facility expansions within our oil and gas and flight systems businesses.  We expect to make additional capital expenditures of $30 to $40 million during the remainder of 2011.

Financing Activities

During the first six months of 2011, we used $65 million in available credit,  under the 2007 Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”), to fund operating and investing activities.  The cumulative total credit used is $175 million as of June 30, 2011.  The unused credit available under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2011 was $183 million. The loans outstanding under the 2003 and 2005 Senior Notes, Credit Agreement, and Industrial Revenue Bonds had fixed and variable interest rates averaging 3.4% during the second quarter of 2011 and 3.6% for the first six months of 2011.

The Corporation continually monitors the credit markets, as the Credit Agreement expires in August 2012. While all companies are subject to economic risk, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and available borrowings are sufficient to meet both the short-term and long-term capital needs of the organization.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of these statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. A summary of significant accounting policies and a description of accounting policies that are considered critical may be found in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1, and the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 3.                      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Information regarding market risk and market risk management policies is more fully described in item “7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.

Item 4.                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of June 30, 2011, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2011 insofar as they are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and they include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are subject to various pending claims, lawsuits, and contingent liabilities. We do not believe that the disposition of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

We or our subsidiaries have been named in a number of lawsuits that allege injury from exposure to asbestos.  To date, neither us nor our subsidiaries have been found liable for or paid any material sum of money in settlement in any case.  We believe that the minimal use of asbestos in our past and current operations and the relatively non-friable condition of asbestos in our products makes it unlikely that we will face material liability in any asbestos litigation, whether individually or in the aggregate.  We do maintain insurance coverage for these potential liabilities and we believe adequate coverage exists to cover any unanticipated asbestos liability.

Item 1A.        RISK FACTORS

There has been no material changes in our Risk Factors during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Information regarding our Risk Factors is more fully described in Item “1A. Risk Factors” of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.

Item 5.                      OTHER INFORMATION

There have been no material changes in our procedures by which our security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Information regarding security holder recommendations and nominations for directors is more fully described in the section  entitled “Stockholder Recommendations and Nominations for Director” of our 2011 Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which is incorporated by reference to our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.

2009 and 2010 Restructuring Plans

In 2009 and 2010, the Corporation completed a plan to restructure existing operations through a reduction in workforce and consolidation of operating locations both domestically and internationally. During the six months ended June 30,2010, the Corporation incurred costs of $2.5 million consisting of severance costs to involuntarily terminate certain employees, relocation costs, exit activities of certain facilities, including lease cancellation costs and external legal and consulting fees. These costs were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings within General and administrative expenses, Costs of sales, Selling expenses, and Research and development expenses for $1.4million, $0.9million, $0.1 million, and $0.1 million, respectively. During 2010, the Corporation incurred total costs of $3.0 million related to this initiative in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings within General and administrative expenses, Cost of sales, and Selling expenses for $1.7million, $1.2million, and $0.1million, respectively.

Oil and Gas Restructuring Initiative

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Corporation initiated a restructuring plan within its Oil and Gas division, of the Flow Control segment. The objective of this initiative is to streamline our workflow and consolidate existing facilities. In the fourth quarter of 2010 and during the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Corporation recorded charges of $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to severance and benefit costs as part of this initiative. These costs are recorded within General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The Corporation is anticipating incurring approximately $0.1 to $0.5million of additional costs associated with this initiative during the remainder of 2011. As of June 30,2011, approximately $0.5 million in payments have been made with the remaining payments expected to be made by December 31, 2011.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

7.       FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward foreign exchange and currency option contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The purpose of the Corporation's foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations. The Corporation does not elect to receive hedge accounting treatment, and thus records forward foreign exchange and currency option contracts at fair value, with the gain or loss on these transactions recorded into earnings in the period in which they occur. The Corporation does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

All derivative assets are required to be recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments. These instruments are classified as Other current liabilities and Other current assets. The Corporation utilizes the bid ask pricing that is common in the dealer markets. The dealers are ready to transact at these prices which use the mid-market pricing convention and are considered to be at fair market value. Based upon the fair value hierarchy, all of the foreign exchange derivative forwards are valued at a Level 2measurement (observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data). The derivative gains and losses are classified within Generaland administrative expenses.

Debt

The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information which is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues as of June 30,2011. The estimated fair values of the Corporation's fixed rate debt instruments at June 30,2011 aggregated to $308 million compared to a carrying value of $275 million.

The carrying amount of the variable interest rate debt approximates fair value because the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market conditions.

The fair values described above may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Goodwill [Abstract]

GOODWILL

5.       GOODWILL

The Corporation accounts for acquisitions by assigning the purchase price to acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months endedJune 30,2011 are as follows:

		(In thousands)
	Flow Control		Motion Control		Metal Treatment		Consolidated
December 31, 2010	$	310,047	$	354,607	$	28,918	$	693,572

June 30, 2011	$	316,839	$	363,853	$	32,565	$	713,257

The purchase price allocations relating to the businesses acquired are initially based on estimates. The Corporation adjusts these estimates based upon final analysis including input from third party appraisals, when deemed appropriate. The determination of fair value is finalized no later than twelve months from acquisition. Goodwill adjustments represent subsequent adjustments to the purchase price allocation for acquisitions as determined by the respective accounting guidance requirements for business combination accounting based on the date of acquisition.

Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Corporation”) is a diversified, multinational manufacturing and service company that designs, manufactures, and overhauls precision components and systems and provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, automotive, shipbuilding, processing, oil, petrochemical, agricultural equipment, railroad, power generation, security, and metalworking industries. Operations are conducted through 58 manufacturing facilities and 64 metal treatment service facilities.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Curtiss-Wright and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with the United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion accounting methods, the estimate of useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flow estimates used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, warranty reserves, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.

Accounting Standards Update 201017 [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method

In April 2010, new guidance was issued that provides the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate, as well as the associated disclosure requirements. The new guidance clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent on achieving a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation's results of operations or financial condition.

Accounting Standards Update 200913 [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

In September 2009, new guidance was issued on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance modifies the requirements for determining whether a deliverable can be treated as a separate unit of accounting by removing the criteria that verifiable and objective evidence of fair value exists for undelivered items, establishes a selling price hierarchy to help entities allocate arrangement consideration to separate units of account, requires the relative selling price allocation method for all arrangements, and expands required disclosures. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation's results of operations or financial condition.

Accounting Standards Update 200914 [Policy Text Block]

Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements

In September 2009, new guidance was issued on certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. The new guidance amended past guidance on software revenue recognition to exclude from scope all tangible products containing both software and non-software elements that function together to interdependently deliver the product's essential functionality. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation's results of operations or financial condition.

Fair Value Of Financial Measurements [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS

In May 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to increase transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. The new guidance does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and is to be adopted prospectively as early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's results of operations or financial condition.

Other Comprehensive Income [Policy Text Block]

Other Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance. The amendment allows the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single or continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively andis effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this new guidance will not have an impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation of other comprehensive income.

CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

6 Months Ended

Contingencies And Committment [Abstract]

CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

14.       CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS       

Legal Proceedings

In January 2007, a former executive was awarded approximately $9.0 million in punitive and compensatory damages plus legal costs related to a gender bias lawsuit filed in 2003.  The Corporation recorded a $6.5 million accrual related to the lawsuit.  In August of 2009, the New Jersey Appellate Division reversed in part and affirmed in part the judgment of the trial court, resulting in the setting aside of the punitive damage award and the front pay award of the Plaintiff's compensatory damages award.  The Plaintiff filed a Petition for Certification with the Supreme Court of New Jersey requesting review of the Appellate Division's decision.  In December 2010, the Supreme Court of New Jersey issued an opinion reversing the Appellate Division's decision, and reinstated the judgment rendered by the trial court.  The Corporation filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the Supreme Court of New Jersey.  In the motion, the Corporation requested that the Supreme Court of New Jersey remand the case back to the lower Appellate Division to resolve certain arguments raised by the Corporation regarding the appropriateness of damages.  The Supreme Court of New Jersey has granted the Corporation's request for reconsideration and remanded the case back to the lower Appellate Division to decide the remaining undecided arguments raised by the Corporation. The Corporation now waits for the Appellate Division to provide a scheduling order with regards to future briefing and oral argument on the unresolved issues before the Appellate Division.  In June 2011, Plaintiff filed a Motion for a Partial Dissolve of the Stay of Judgment requesting the Trial Court to authorize payment of counsel fees and economic damages associated with the affirmed discrimination charge in this matter. The total accrual related to the lawsuit as of June 30, 2011 is approximately $10.6 million and recorded within Other current liabilities of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Consistent with other entities its size, the Corporation is a party to a number of legal actions and claims, none of which individually or in the aggregate, in the opinion of management, are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of operations or financial position.

Environmental Matters

The Corporation's environmental obligations have not changed significantly from December 31, 2010. The aggregate environmental liability was $20.7 million at June 30, 2011 and $20.8 million at December 31, 2010. All environmental reserves exclude any potential recovery from insurance carriers or third-party legal actions.

The Corporation, through its Flow Control segment, has several NRC licenses necessary for the continued operation of its commercial nuclear operations. In connection with these licenses, the NRC required financial assurance from the Corporation in the form of a parent company guarantee, representing estimated environmental decommissioning and remediation costs associated with the commercial operations covered by the licenses. The guarantee for the decommissioning costs of the refurbishment facility, which is estimated for 2017, is $4.5 million.

Letters of Credit and Other Arrangements

The Corporation enters into standby letters of credit agreements and guarantees with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to guarantees of repayment on certain Industrial Revenue Bonds, future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services, and to secure advance payments the Corporation has received from certain international customers. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Corporation had contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit of $57.2 million and $47.0 million, respectively.

AP1000 Program

The Corporation's Electro-Mechanical Division is the reactor coolant pump (“RCP”) supplier for the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power plants under construction in China. The first RCP was scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2011. During the final phase of testing, the Corporation detected a localized heating issue in the pump stator. The Corporation is taking the necessary steps to ensure the long-term reliability and safety of the RCP. As a result of addressing the heating issue, the Corporation increased the estimated contract costs in the second quarter of 2011, which did not result in a material impact to our quarterly financial results. Based upon current negotiations with the customer, the Corporation believes that the existing contract will be modified to reflect revised delivery dates and that any damage or incentive provisions will be revised accordingly. Based upon the information available, the Corporation does not believe that the ultimate outcome will result in a material impact to our operations or cash flows.
