1. BASIS of PRESENTATION
Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Corporation") is a diversified multi-national manufacturing and service concern that designs, manufactures and overhauls precision components and systems and provides highly engineered services to the aerospace defense, automotive, shipbuilding, oil, petrochemical, processing, agricultural equipment, railroad, power generation, metalworking and fire and rescue industries. Operations are conducted through eight manufacturing facilities, thirty-seven metal treatment service facilities and four component overhaul locations.
The information furnished in this report has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and as such reflects all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year. Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made in order to conform to the current presentation.
2. RECEIVABLES
Receivables, at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, include amounts billed to customers and unbilled charges on long-term contracts consisting of amounts recognized as sales but not billed at the dates presented. Substantially all amounts of unbilled receivables are expected to be billed and collected within a year. The composition of receivables for those periods is as follows:

4.       ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS	

The Corporation establishes a reserve for a potential environmental responsibility when it concludes that a determination of legal liability is probable, based upon the advice of counsel. Such amounts, if quantified, reflect the Corporation's estimate of the amount of that liability. If only a range of potential liability can be estimated, a reserve will be established at the low end of that range. Such reserves represent today's values of anticipated remediation not reduced by any potential recovery from insurance carriers or through contested third-party legal actions, and are not discounted for the time value of money.
The Corporation is joined with many other corporations and municipalities as potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in a number of environmental cleanup sites, which include but are not limited to the Sharkey landfill superfund site, Parsippany, New Jersey, Caldwell Trucking Company superfund site, Fairfield, New Jersey, Pfohl Brothers landfill site, Cheektowaga, New York, Chemsol, Inc. superfund site, Piscataway, New Jersey, and PJP Landfill, Jersey City, New Jersey identified to date as the most significant sites.
The Corporation believes that the outcome of any of these matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of operations or financial condition.

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Corporation accounts for its earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS No. 128). Diluted earnings per share were computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares issuable for the periods. Dilutive common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 were 97,000 and 118,000, respectively.
8. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 137 deferring the effective date of Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133 is now effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 (January 1, 2001 for the Corporation). SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Management of the Corporation anticipates that, due to its limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a significant effect on its results of operations or its financial position.

PART I - ITEM 2
CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of
FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS of OPERATIONS
RESULTS of OPERATIONS
The Corporation's consolidated net earnings for the first quarter of 2000 were 16% above net earnings for the first quarter of 1999. Net earnings for the first quarter of 2000 totaled $9.2 million, or $.91 per diluted share, compared with $8.0 million or $.78 per diluted share for the same period of 1999. Operating income in the aggregate rose 15% to $12.1 million for the first quarter of 2000 as compared with $10.5 million in the first quarter of 1999. The first quarter of 2000 benefited from the net effect of the following unusual items: a gain related to post-retirement medical benefits, partially offset by additional consolidation costs from the Motion Control manufacturing consolidation and other post-employment expenses. These items favorably impacted pre-tax earnings by $2.0 million and after-tax earnings by $1.3 million. Excluding the unusual items, net earnings would have been $8.0 million, or $.79 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2000.
Sales for the first quarter of 2000 increased 17% to $82.2 million compared with $70.4 million for the prior year quarter. The sales improvement largely reflects the Corporation's three acquisitions made in 1999, Metallurgical Processing, Inc., Farris Engineering and Sprague Products. Sales from these companies, in the aggregate, accounted for a $13.0 million increase comparing the first quarter of 2000 to the same period of the prior year. New orders received for the first quarter of 2000 totaled $70.6 million declining slightly from orders of $70.8 million for the first quarter of 1999. The Corporation's backlog of unshipped orders at March 31, 2000 totaled $201.2 million, a 2% increase from backlog of $197.0 million a year ago.
Operating Performance
Metal Treatment
Sales for the Corporation's Metal Treatment segment totaled $28.2 million for the first quarter of 2000, compared with $26.0 million in the first quarter of 1999. The first quarter's increased sales over the same period last year for this business segment was the result of growth in its European aerospace markets and the acquisition of a domestic heat treating operation which occurred in mid-1999.
Flow Control
The Corporation's Flow Control segment posted sales of $26.7 million for the first quarter of 2000, compared with $14.0 million in the first quarter of 1999. The significant sales improvement was the result of the acquisition of the Farris and Sprague product lines, which occurred at the end of August last year. Increased sales were also experienced in other product lines during the first quarter of 2000 as compared to last year. Margins are lower than the comparable period last year as the profitability of some of the product lines added through acquisition are somewhat lower than traditional offerings. However, the margins of these acquired companies are higher than anticipated at the time of

acquisition. Additionally, the 1999 period had the benefit of some particularly attractive nuclear valve business.
Motion Control
Sales for the Corporation's Motion Control segment declined to $27.3 million in the first quarter of 2000, from $30.3 million in the first quarter of 1999. The reduction in sales was due to lower OEM shipments to Boeing, which has reduced its production levels for commercial aircraft, and lower OEM military sales as compared to the same period last year. The performance of the Curtiss-Wright Drive Technology business unit reflects the very seasonal volume pattern with sales being concentrated in the last half of the year. Although the decrease in operating income is primarily the result of lower earnings in the repair and overhaul area, on a period to period basis, performance in this area is expected to improve during the remainder of 2000 due to expected sales from its Boeing 757 retrofit program.
Corporate and Other
In the first quarter of 2000, the Corporation recognized a $2.8 million reduction to general and administrative expenses from the curtailment of postretirement benefits associated with the closing of the Fairfield, New Jersey facility. This benefit was partially offset by other non-recurring postemployment expenses.
Non-Operating Revenues and Costs
For the first quarter of 2000, the Corporation recorded other non-operating net revenue totaling $3.4 million, compared with $2.8 million for the first quarter of 1999. The increase primarily reflects higher pension income, reflecting the higher overfunded status of the Corporation's pension plan. On a period to period basis, net rental income increased due to slightly higher occupancy and higher average rents at the Corporation's Wood-Ridge, NJ Business Complex. Partially offsetting these increases was lower investment income.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Corporation's working capital was $130.9 million at March 31, 2000, 5% above working capital at December 31, 1999 of $124.4 million. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.45 to 1 at March 31, 2000, compared with a current ratio of 3.22 to 1 at December 31, 1999.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $40.0 million in aggregate at March 31, 2000, increasing slightly from $35.1 million at the prior year-end. Also contributing to improvements in working capital at March 31, 2000, from December 31, 1999, was a substantial decrease in other current liabilities caused by the reimbursement to tenants of a portion of a real estate tax appeal and payment of other accrued liabilities. Increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, from those of December 31, 1999, and dividends payable for the first quarter of 2000 partially reduced working capital for the current period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of
FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS of OPERATIONS, continued
The Corporation has two credit agreements, a Revolving Credit Agreement and a Short-Term Credit Agreement, in effect aggregating $100.0 million with a group of five banks. The credit agreements allow for borrowings to take place in U. S. or certain foreign currencies. The Revolving Credit Agreement commits a maximum of $60.0 million to the Corporation for cash borrowings and letters of credit. The unused credit available under this facility at March 31, 2000 was $18.9 million. The commitments made under the Revolving Credit Agreement expire December 17, 2004, but may be extended annually for successive one-year periods with the consent of the bank group. The Corporation also has in effect a Short-Term Credit Agreement, which allows for cash borrowings of $40.0 million, all of which was available at March 31, 2000. The Short-Term Credit Agreement expires on December 17, 2000. The Short-Term Credit Agreement may be extended, with the consent of the bank group, for an additional period not to exceed 364 days. Cash borrowings under the two credit agreements at March 31, 2000 were at a US Dollar equivalent of $18.6 million, compared with cash borrowing of $21.9 million at March 31, 1999. Actual borrowings of 31.0 million Swiss francs were used to finance the Drive Technology acquisition at December 31, 1998, and the decline reflects movement in the Swiss franc translation rate. The loans had variable interest rates averaging 2.97% for the first quarter of 2000 and variable interest rates averaging 2.03% for the first quarter of 1999.
During the first quarter of 2000, internally available funds were adequate to meet capital expenditures of $2.0 million. Expenditures incurred during the first quarter were for machinery and equipment needed for the expansion of our Metal Treatment segment. During the first quarter of 2000, the Corporation repurchased 15,170 shares of its common stock at a cost of $0.5 million. The Corporation is expected to make capital expenditures of an additional $11 million during the balance of the year, primarily for machinery and equipment for the business segments. Funds from internal sources are expected to be adequate to meet planned capital expenditures, environmental and other obligations for the remainder of the year.
Other Developments
At the first meeting of the newly elected Board of Directors on April 11, 2000, following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 7, 2000, the Board appointed Martin R. Benante Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, succeeding David Lasky who retired after 38 years of service with Curtiss-Wright. Mr. Lasky will continue as a member of the Corporation's Board of Directors.
