Significant Considerations
Major recapitalization completed in 2005 – New symbol: KAMN
Eliminated a 50-year dual class structure in which 2.9% of shares
controlled 100% of the voting power
1 share-1 vote structure achieved with < 4% dilution
Dividend increased 13.6%
Seasoned management team aligned with shareholders through
performance-based compensation
Strategies for growth are in place for each segment
Business climate favorable for top and bottom line growth
New contracts, internal factors, and market conditions contributing
Acquisition program augments organic growth
Nine acquisitions in past four years: Three for each segment
Most recent: Musicorp (MBT) was the largest independent musical
instrument distributor after Kaman.  Full effect on operations in 2006
Diversified revenue stream and financial flexibility to pursue
strategic objectives
$150 million revolving credit refinanced: expires 2010
Investment grade:  S&P rating of BBB- with stable outlook
