PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Kaman Corporation, incorporated in 1945, and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Corporation") serve government,
industrial and commercial markets through two industry segments:
Diversified Technologies and Distribution. The Diversified
Technologies group provides design and manufacture of advanced
technology products and systems, advanced technology services and
aircraft manufacturing. The Distribution segment distributes
industrial products, distributes and manufactures music products
and provides various services to its customers.
DIVERSIFIED TECHNOLOGIES
The Diversified Technologies segment consists of several
wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Kaman Diversified
Technologies Corporation, Kaman Aerospace Corporation, Kaman
Aerospace International Corporation, Kaman Sciences Corporation,
Kamatics Corporation, Kaman Electromagnetics Corporation, and
Kaman Instrumentation Corporation.
An important element of the Diversified Technologies
segment's business is aircraft manufacturing, including the
development and manufacture of helicopters and the integration of
systems related to helicopters. The Corporation has been the
prime contractor for the U.S. Navy for the SH-2 series
helicopter, a multi-mission aircraft. As a result of reductions
in the size of the U.S. Navy's fleet, the Corporation is not
presently manufacturing further aircraft for the U.S. Navy.
However, there are presently sixteen (16) such aircraft of the
SH-2G configuration in the U.S. Navy's Reserve fleet and the
Corporation expects to continue to provide logistics and spare
parts support for such SH-2G helicopters. The Corporation is
exploring the potential for use of SH-2G helicopters by foreign
military services as maritime helicopters operating off of FF 1052
class frigates provided by the U.S. government or smaller ships
built by such foreign governments. In 1995, the Corporation began
work pursuant to a letter agreement between the Republic of Egypt
and the U.S. Navy for the acquisition of ten (10) SH-2G
helicopters. Such work involves the retrofit of SH-2F helicopters
already manufactured for the U.S. Navy into the SH-2G
configuration. The contract between the Corporation and the U.S.
Navy for this work is in the process of being finalized and is
expected to have a value of approximately $135 million over
approximately a three year period. Incremental funding under such
agreement began in 1995. In addition, the corporation is exploring
the possibility of other sales to a number of foreign government
customers. The Corporation has made proposals to the Royal
Australian Navy and the Royal New Zealand Navy. In December, 1995,
Page 1
the government of New Zealand notified the Corporation that the
Corporation was one of two competitors (and the only U.S. company)
that would enter the Best and Final Offer process for the
procurement of four (4) to six (6) retrofitted aircraft.
The Corporation also produces a commercial helicopter, known as
the K-MAX (Registered Trademark) "aerial truck" incorporating
intermeshing rotor technology developed by the Corporation. The
K-MAX is an FAA type certificated medium-to-heavy lift helicopter
which is designed to provide superior operational capabilities,
and which experienced its first full year of commercial operation
in 1995. While a substantial portion of the Corporation's
research and development activities were devoted to this product
over the past several years, research and development activities
were reduced in 1995 due to the development of the product being
essentially complete. In 1995 the K-MAX was certificated in
Switzerland and Canada and approval process was initiated in
Japan. The production lot of K-MAX helicopters for 1995
consisted of six (6) aircraft and a similar number are scheduled
for production in 1996. During the third quarter of 1995 the
K-MAX was chosen as the winner of the U.S. Navy vertical
replenishment (VERTREP) demonstration competition involving two
aircraft. The demonstration was conducted for a period of two
months and the Corporation is presently in the process of
competing for a six month VERTREP project which would involve
deployment of two aircraft under a charter/lease arrangement with
the U.S. Navy.
Kaman manufactures subcontract aircraft products for
government and commercial customers on programs such as the
McDonnell Douglas C-17 and the Boeing 767 and 777, and is
involved in various programs requiring development of new
technologies such as composite structural components for the F-22
aircraft. It also manufactures ruggedized tape and disk memory
systems used primarily in aircraft, and airborne laser-based
electro-optical imaging and detection systems for military and
commercial operations. Such electro-optical systems include
imaging LIDAR systems and the Corporation's proprietary Magic
Lantern (Registered Trademark) system which allows underwater
objects to be detected from an airborne platform.
As a second category of its business, the Diversified
Technologies segment also provides advanced technology services
to a number of customers, including all branches of the armed
forces, various Government agencies, the Department of Energy,
Department of Transportation, various defense contractors,
utilities and industrial organizations. The services offered
include software engineering and maintenance, operation of
Government information analysis centers, field and laboratory
testing services, communication system design and analysis,
specialized sensor design, electromagnetic interference and
compatibility evaluations, analysis and simulation of electronic
signals, various types of artificial intelligence systems,
intrusion detection systems, and weapon systems evaluation.
Page 2
A third category of this segment's business is developing
and manufacturing various advanced technology products and
systems which are used in markets that the Corporation serves.
Among the products manufactured are self lubricating bearings for
use on aircraft, marine vessels and hydropower plants; flexible
couplings for helicopters; precision measuring instruments used
in a variety of industries; composite flyer bows used in wire
making machinery; RF transmission and delay lines;
telecommunication products; photonic and optical systems; and
safing and fuzing systems for use in missiles. The Corporation
also develops and produces various motors, generators,
alternators, launchers and electric drive systems using
electromagnetic technology. In addition, the Corporation has
contracts with the U.S. government for a number of advanced
technology programs relating to some of the systems described
above and to other proprietary systems developed by the
Corporation.
DISTRIBUTION
The Distribution segment consists of several wholly-owned
subsidiaries including the following: Kaman Industrial
Technologies Corporation, Kaman Music Corporation, and AirKaman
of Jacksonville, Inc. This segment distributes industrial
products and services, manufactures and distributes music products,
and provides aviation services.
Kaman Industrial Technologies Corporation is a national
distributor of industrial products operating through more than
150 service centers located in 29 states and British Columbia,
Canada. The Corporation supplies a broad range of industries
with original equipment, repair and replacement products needed
to maintain traditional manufacturing processes and,
increasingly, with products of higher technological content that
are required to support automated production processes. The
Corporation serves nearly every sector of heavy and light
industry, including automobile manufacturing, agriculture, food
processing, pulp and paper manufacturing, mining, chemicals,
electronics and general manufacturing. Products available
include various types of standard and precision mounted and
unmounted bearings; mechanical power transmission equipment such
as V-belts, couplings, and gear reducers; electrical power
transmission products, motors, AC/DC controls, sensors and motion
control devices; materials handling equipment, belts, conveyor
idlers and pulleys; linear motion products; hydraulic drive
systems and parts; and accessory products such as lubricants and
seals. Although the vast majority of the company's business
consists of resale of products, operations include some design,
fabrication, and assembly work in connection with products sold.
Page 3
The Corporation continues to develop certain support service
capabilities in order to meet the maintenance needs of its
customers' manufacturing operations. These services include
electrical panel and systems fabrication centers capabilities and
similar capabilities for hydraulic and pneumatic control panels,
linear positioning systems, and material handling systems. In
1995 the Corporation, on a limited basis, continued to act as a
supplier of capital equipment to various systems engineering and
manufacturing customers by acting as a sales agent for certain
equipment manufacturers. As the Corporation has entered new
market areas, it has invested in new product inventory and in
some instances it has established inventory on consignment in
customer locations. The Corporation maintains a management
information system, consisting of an on-line computer network
linking all of its mainland U.S. and Canadian industrial
distribution facilities, which enhances its ability to provide
more efficient nationwide service and to improve inventory
management. In addition, the Corporation has undertaken
initiatives to address the needs of certain national account
customers that desire to consolidate their vendor base by
entering into "partnering" relationships to broaden geographical
coverage. For larger customers, the Corporation has increasingly
been given the opportunity to provide an "integrated supply"
function involving management of parts inventories and associated
personnel as well as selection of suppliers for the customer's
facility.
Kaman Music Corporation distributes more than 13,000
different music instruments and accessories to independent
retailers in the United States and Canada and to
international distributors throughout the world. Products
include acoustic, acoustic-electric and electric guitars and
basses, music strings for all fretted instruments, drums,
percussion products and related accessories, instrument and P.A.
amplification systems, electronic tuners and metronomes,
educational percussion and brass instruments and a full range of
accessories for all musical instruments. The Corporation
manufactures and distributes certain guitars under the
Corporation's various brand names including Ovation and Hamer
guitars, fretted musical instrument strings of various brands,
and the Trace Elliot range of stringed instrument amplification
equipment. Operations of Kaman Music Corporation are conducted
through three (3) manufacturing facilities and seven (7)
distribution centers in the United States and Canada, an
international sales division based in the United States and a
manufacturing facility in Great Britain.
The segment also distributes aviation fuel and provides
aviation services at Jacksonville International Airport,
Jacksonville, Florida where the Corporation conducts fixed base
operations for general and commercial aviation under a contract
with the Port Authority of the City of Jacksonville which extends
through the year 2008.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES
Government sponsored research expenditures by the
Diversified Technologies segment were $70.2 million in 1995,
$82.2 million in 1994 and $118.8 million in 1993. Amounts shown
for 1993 and 1994 reflect reconfiguration of certain government
sponsored contracts. Independent research and development
expenditures were $13.7 million in 1995, $21.1 million in 1994,
and $18.4 million in 1993.
Page 5
BACKLOG
Program backlog of the Diversified Technologies segment was
approximately $218.7 million at December 31, 1995, $228.9 million
at December 31, 1994, and $240.8 million at December 31, 1993.
The Corporation anticipates that approximately 90.1% of its
backlog at the end of 1995 will be performed in 1996.
Approximately 62.9% of the backlog at the end of 1995 is related
to government contracts or subcontracts which are included in
backlog to the extent that funding has been appropriated by
Congress and allocated to the particular contract by the relevant
procurement agency. Certain of these government contracts, less
than 1% of the backlog, have been funded but not signed.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
During 1995, approximately 47.5% of the work performed by
the Corporation directly or indirectly for the United States
government was performed on a fixed-price basis and the balance
was performed on a cost-reimbursement basis. Under a fixed-price
contract, the price paid to the contractor is negotiated at the
outset of the contract and is not generally subject to adjustment
to reflect the actual costs incurred by the contractor in the
performance of the contract. Cost reimbursement contracts
provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs and an
additional negotiated fee.
The Corporation's United States government contracts and
subcontracts contain the usual required provisions permitting
termination at any time for the convenience of the government
with payment for work completed and associated profit at the time
of termination.
COMPETITION
The Diversified Technologies segment operates in a highly
competitive environment with many other organizations which are
substantially larger and have greater financial and other
resources. For sales of advanced technology products and
systems, the Corporation competes with a wide range of
manufacturers primarily on the basis of price and the quality,
endurance, reliability and special performance characteristics of
those products. Operations also depend in part on the ability to
develop new technologies which have effective commercial and
Page 6
military applications. Examples of proprietary or patented
products developed by the Corporation include the Magic Lantern
(Registered Trademark) system for detecting underwater objects
from a helicopter, the Kamatics line of specialty bearings and
the Corporation's line of electromagnetic motors and drives,
among others. In providing scientific services and systems
development, the Corporation competes primarily on the basis of
the technical capabilities and experience of its personnel in
specific fields. When bidding for aerospace contracts and
subcontracts, the Corporation competes on the basis of price and
quality of its products and services as well as the availability
of its facilities, equipment and personnel to perform the
contract. Defense market conditions have been significantly
affected by an ongoing slowdown in defense spending. During 1995
the Department of Defense continued to pursue its implementation
of defense acquisition reform by emphasizing the use of
commercially developed state-of-the-art technology products and
performance-based procurement standards rather than traditional
military specification standards. The change in defense program
emphasis and greater constraints in the federal budget have
increased the level of competition for defense programs. As the
U.S. Navy reduces the size of its fleet, and to the extent such
reductions are not offset by foreign military sales, the
Corporation expects a corresponding reduction in the level of
logistics and spare parts required to maintain the series SH-2
helicopters previously produced or retrofitted by the
Corporation. In providing spare parts, the Corporation competes
with other helicopter manufacturers on the basis of price,
performance and product capabilities and also on the basis of its
experience as a manufacturer of helicopters. The Corporation's
FAA certificated K-MAX helicopters will compete with military
surplus helicopters and other helicopters used for lifting, as
well as with alternative methods of meeting lifting requirements.
Distribution operations are subject to a high degree of
competition from several other national distributors and many
regional and local firms both in the U.S. and elsewhere in the
world. Certain musical instrument products of the Corporation
are subject to competition from U.S. and foreign manufacturers
also. The Corporation competes in these markets on the basis of
service, price, performance, and inventory variety and
availability.
The Corporation also competes on the basis of quality and
market recognition of its music products and has established
certain trademarks and trade names under which certain of its
music products are produced both in the United States and under
private label manufacturing in foreign countries.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
To the extent this report includes forward-looking
statements that describe the corporation's business prospects,
there may be other factors that could have an adverse impact on
Page 7
those prospects in addition to those described above. These
include political, economic, or other conditions, such as
recessionary or expansive trends, inflation rates, currency
exchange rates, taxes and regulations and laws affecting the
business; as well as product competition, pricing, the degree of
acceptance of new products to the marketplace, and the difficulty
of forecasting sales at various times in various markets.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1995, the Corporation employed 5,400
individuals throughout its industry segments as follows:
Diversified Technologies 2,964
Distribution 2,373
Corporate Headquarters 63
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
The Corporation holds patents reflecting scientific and
technical accomplishments in a wide range of areas covering both
basic production of certain products, including aerospace
products and musical instruments, as well as highly specialized
devices and advanced technology products in such areas as nuclear
sciences, strategic defense and other commercial, scientific and
defense related fields.
Although the Corporation's patents enhance its competitive
position, management believes that none of such patents or patent
applications is singularly or as a group essential to its
business as a whole. The Corporation holds or has applied for
U.S. and foreign patents with expiration dates that range through
the year 2012.
These patents are allocated among the Corporation's industry
segments as follows:
U.S. PATENTS FOREIGN PATENTS
Segment Issued Pending Issued Pending
Diversified Technologies 95 11 45 41
Distribution 23 2 14 0
Trademarks of Kaman Corporation include Adamas, Applause,
Hamer, KAflex, KAron, K-MAX, Magic Lantern, and Ovation. In all,
the Corporation maintains 202 U.S. and foreign trademarks with 53
applications pending, most of which relate to music products in
the Distribution segment.
Page 8
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION LAWS
In the opinion of management, based on the Corporation's
knowledge and analysis of relevant facts and circumstances, there
will be no material adverse effect upon the capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position of the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries occasioned by compliance with any environmental
protection laws.
The Corporation is subject to the usual reviews and
inspections by environmental agencies of the various states in
which the Corporation has facilities, and the Corporation has
entered into agreements and consent decrees at various times in
connection with such reviews. On occasion the Corporation also
has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in connection with its
investigation of certain waste disposal sites. In each such
instance to date, the Corporation's involvement, if any, has
been either of a de minimis nature or the Corporation has been
able to determine, based on its current knowledge, that
resolution of such matters is not likely to have a material
adverse effect on the future financial condition of the
Corporation.
In arriving at this conclusion, the Corporation has taken
into consideration site-specific information available regarding
total costs of any work to be performed, and the extent of work
previously performed. Where the Corporation has been identified
as a PRP at a particular site, the Corporation, using information
available to it, also has reviewed and considered a number of
other factors, including (i) the financial resources of other
PRP's involved in each site, and their proportionate share of the
total volume of waste at the site; (ii) the existence of
insurance, if any, and the financial viability of the insurers;
and (iii) the success others have had in receiving reimbursement
for similar costs under similar policies issued during the
periods applicable to each site.
FOREIGN SALES
Ninety two and six tenths percent (92.6%) of the sales of
the Corporation are made to customers located in the United
States. Certain retrofit work on SH-2 series helicopters for
delivery to the Republic of Egypt is presently being performed by
the Corporation under an agreement between it and the U.S. Navy
and, because such work is a "foreign military sale" with the U.S.
Government, it is not included in the calculation of foreign
sales. In 1995, the Corporation continued its efforts to develop
international markets for its products and foreign sales
(including sales for export).
Page 9
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Corporation occupies approximately 4.418 million square
feet of space throughout the United States, Canada, and Great
Britain, distributed as follows:
SEGMENT SQUARE FEET (in thousands)
Diversified Technologies 1,965

*Remuneration: Average of the highest five consecutive years of
"Covered Compensation" out of the final ten years of service.
"Covered Compensation" means "W-2 earnings" or "base
earnings", if greater, as defined in the Pension Plan. W-2
earnings for pension purposes consist of salary (including 401(k)
and Section 125 Plan contributions but not deferrals under a
non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan), bonus and taxable
income attributable to restricted stock awards. Salary and bonus
amounts for the named Executive Officers for 1995 are as shown on
Page 21
the Summary Compensation Table. Compensation deferred under the
Corporation's non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan is
included in Covered Compensation here because it is covered by
the Corporation's unfunded Supplemental Employees' Retirement
Plan for the participants in that plan.
Current Compensation covered by the Pension Plan for any
named executive whose Covered Compensation differs by more than
10% from the compensation disclosed for that executive in the
Summary Compensation Table: Mr. Kaman, $660,000, Mr. Levenson,
$150,000; Mr. Garneau, $307,815; Mr. Kozlow, $317,815; Mr.
Renehan, $289,114.
Federal law imposes certain limitations on annual pension
benefits under the Pension Plan. For the named executive
officers, the excess will be paid under the Corporation's
unfunded Supplemental Employees' Retirement Plan.
The Executive Officers named in Item 11(b) are participants
in the plan and as of January 1, 1995, had the number of years of
credited service indicated: Mr. Kaman - 50.10 years; Mr.
Levenson - 13.20 years; Mr. Garneau - 14.48 years; Mr. Kozlow -
35.70 years; and Mr. Renehan - 12.00 years.
Benefits are computed generally in accordance with the
benefit formula described above.
G) COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS. Non-officer members of the Board
of Directors of the Corporation receive an annual retainer of
$14,000 and a fee of $750 for attending each meeting of the Board
and each meeting of a Committee of the Board, except that the
Chairman of the Audit Committee receives $850 for attending each
meeting of that Committee. These fees may be received on a
deferred basis.
H) EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION, SEVERANCE AND CHANGE
OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS. Except as described in connection with
the Corporation's Pension Plan and the Corporation's non-

reason, including resignation, retirement or otherwise, or a

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Kaman Corporation:
Under date of January 29, 1996, we reported on the consolidated
balance sheets of Kaman Corporation and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related consolidated
statements of earnings, changes in shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1995, as contained in the 1995 annual report to
shareholders. These consolidated financial statements and our
report thereon are included in the annual report on Form 10-K for
1995. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned
consolidated financial statements, we also audited the related
financial statement schedules as listed in the accompanying
index. These financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statement schedules
based on our audits.
In our opinion, such schedules, when considered in relation to
the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly, in all material respects, the information set
forth therein.
