Slide 3

Four Aerospace industry segments:

Aerostructures segment: Q1 sales: $28.8 million (+14.4%)/Q1 operating loss: $1.0 million (vs. OI of $4.6 in Q1 07)

Sales increase driven by BLACK HAWK.
Operating loss was a result of charges related to the concurrent ramp-up of three significant programs at Wichita.

Fuzing segment: Q1 sales: $24.1 million (+30.4%)/Q1 operating income: $1.8 million (-28.7%)

Sales increase driven by JPF.
Segment remains subject to quarter-by-quarter fluctuation.

Helicopters segment: Q1 sales: $14.6 million (-16.3%)/Q1 operating income: $.9 million (up marginally from Q1 07)

No Australia program charge in Q1 2008.

Specialty Bearings segment: Q1 sales: $36.1 million (+12.8%)/Q1 operating income: $13.0 million (+22.8% vs. Q1 07)

Record results driven by strong demand and competitive advantages in a robust market environment.

Industrial Distribution segment: Q1 sales: $182.2 million (+5.0%)/Q1 operating income: $9.1 million (+4.4%)

Results driven by national account awards, including the effect of cost to ramp up large new accounts.
Economic conditions mixed with weak sectors such as housing offset by strong sectors such as mining.

Emphasis on less cyclical industries has benefited the segment.
