NOTES to CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1.	BASIS of PRESENTATION	
Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Corporation”) is a diversified multinational provider of highly engineered products and services for high performance platforms. The Corporation provides products and services to a number of global markets, such as defense, commercial aerospace, nuclear power generation, oil and gas, automotive, and general industrial markets. Operations are conducted through 33 manufacturing facilities, 56 metal treatment service facilities, and 2 aerospace component overhaul and repair locations.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and such preparation 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 include the costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage of completion accounting method, the useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flows used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, amount of inventory obsolescence, valuation of intangible assets, warranty reserves, and 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.
Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current presentation.
2.	ACQUISITIONS	
The Corporation acquired one business during the three months ended March 31, 2005, as described in more detail below. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase with the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill. The Corporation makes preliminary estimates of the purchase price allocations, including the value of identifiable intangibles with a finite life, and records amortization based upon the estimated useful life of those intangible assets identified. The Corporation will adjust these estimates based upon analysis of third party appraisals, when deemed appropriate, and the determination of fair value when finalized, within twelve months from acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information shows the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, as though the 2004 and 2005 acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma presentation reflects adjustments for (i) the amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) depreciation

NOTES to CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
(UNAUDITED)
of fixed assets at their acquired fair values, (iii) additional interest expense on acquisition-related borrowings, (iv) the issuance of stock as consideration, (v) the income tax effect on the pro forma adjustments, using local statutory rates, and (vi) costs of the acquired businesses incurred as a result of the acquisition. The pro forma adjustments related to certain acquisitions are based on preliminary purchase price allocations. Differences between the preliminary and final purchase price allocations could have a significant impact on the unaudited pro forma financial information presented. The unaudited pro forma financial information below is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved had the acquisitions been completed as of the date indicated above or the results that may be obtained in the future.

Please refer to the Corporation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more detail on the 2004 acquisitions.

The results of the acquired business have been included in the consolidated financial results of the Corporation from the date of acquisition in the segment indicated as follows:
Motion Control Segment
Indal Technologies, Inc.
On March 1, 2005, the Corporation acquired the outstanding stock of the parent corporation of Indal Technologies, Inc. (“Indal”). The purchase price was 78.0 million Canadian dollars ($62.8 million) in cash and was funded from credit available under the Corporation’s revolving credit facilities. The estimated excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is $29.4 million at March 31, 2005, including foreign currency translation adjustment gains of $0.8 million. The fair value of the net assets acquired was based on current estimates. The Corporation may adjust these estimates based upon analysis of third party appraisals and the final determination of fair value.
Indal provides shipboard helicopter handling systems for naval applications with a global installed base on over 200 ships, including more than 100 systems deployed in the U.S. Navy. Indal’s highly engineered, proprietary products enable helicopters to land aboard naval vessels in rough sea conditions. Indal also designs and manufactures specialized telescopic hangars that provide protection for helicopters aboard ships and cable handling systems for naval sonar applications. Indal is headquartered near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Revenues of the acquired business were 49.4 million Canadian dollars ($38.2 million) for the year ended December 31, 2004.

7.	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 and may be otherwise modified as specific product performance issues are identified and resolved. Warranty reserves are included within other current liabilities on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34”, the following table presents the changes in the Corporation’s warranty reserves:

The estimated fair values of the Corporation’s debt instruments at March 31, 2005 aggregated $419.6 million compared to a carrying value of $420.1 million. The carrying amount of the variable interest rate long-term debt approximates fair value because the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market conditions. Fair values for the Corporation’s fixed rate debt were estimated by management, utilizing valuations provided by third parties in accordance with their proprietary models.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Corporation has paid zero and $0.4 million on the Curtiss-Wright and EMD post-retirement plans, respectively. During 2005, the Corporation anticipates contributing $0.1 million and $1.7 million to the post-retirement plans, respectively.
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 was signed into law on December 8, 2003. In accordance with FASB Staff Position FAS 106-1, the Corporation made a one-time election to defer recognition of the effects of the law in the accounting for its plan under FAS 106 and in providing disclosures related to the plan until authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal prescription drug subsidy is issued. Regulations regarding the implementation of the Act were finalized in February of 2005 and the Corporation concluded that the prescription drug benefits offered under this plan are not actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D under the Act. Therefore, in accordance with FASB Staff Position FAS 106-2, any measures of the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation or Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost reflect the effects of the Act on the plan.
10.	EARNINGS PER SHARE	
Diluted earnings per share were computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares. A reconciliation of basic to diluted shares used in the earnings per share calculation is as follows:

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	 	21,814	 	21,206	 	

	 	
At March 31, 2005 the Corporation had 125,000 stock options outstanding that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future but were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as they would have been antidilutive for the period. There were no antidilutive shares for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

11.	STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS	
In accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, the Corporation elected to account for its stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. As such, the Corporation does not recognize compensation expense on non-qualified stock options granted to employees under the Corporation’s 1995 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTI Plan”) when the exercise price of the options is equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant or on non-qualified stock options granted under the Corporation’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).
Pro forma information regarding net earnings and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, as amended, and has been determined as if the Corporation had accounted for its employee stock option grants under the fair value method prescribed by that Statement. Information with regard to the number of options granted, market price of the grants, vesting requirements, the maximum term of the options granted by plan type, risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility, the expected dividend yield, the weighted-average option life, and the weighted-average grant-date fair value of options is included in the Corporation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Corporation’s pro forma results are as follows:

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123(R)”). This Statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Employee share purchase plans will not result in recognition of compensation cost if certain conditions are met; those conditions

(UNAUDITED)
are much the same as the related conditions in FAS 123(R). This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. On April 14, 2005 the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced a deferral of the effective date of FAS 123(R) for calendar year companies until January 1, 2006. The Corporation has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement.
12.	ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS	
The environmental obligation at March 31, 2005 was $26.1 million compared to $25.2 million at December 31, 2004. Approximately 80% of the Corporation’s environmental reserves as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 represent the current value of anticipated remediation costs and are not discounted primarily due to the uncertainty of timing of expenditures. The remaining environmental reserves are discounted using a rate of 4% to reflect the time value of money since the amount and timing of cash payments for the liability are reliably determinable. All environmental reserves exclude any potential recovery from insurance carriers or third-party legal actions.
In the first quarter of 2005, the Corporation sold its Fairfield, New Jersey non-operating property, which was formerly an operating facility for the Corporation’s Motion Control segment. Under the sale agreement, the Corporation has retained the responsibility to continue the ongoing environmental remediation on the property, which is currently anticipated to be between three to five years with an estimated cost of $1.5 million.

14.	(GAIN) LOSS ON SALE OF REAL ESTATE AND FIXED ASSETS	
On March 17, 2005, the Corporation completed the sale of its Fairfield, New Jersey property, a former operating property, for $10.5 million. The property encompasses approximately 39 acres and was formerly an operating facility for the Company’s Motion Control segment now located in Shelby, North Carolina. As a result of the sale, the Corporation recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2005, which is recorded in operating income in the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
15.	COMPREHENSIVE INCOME	
Total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

Total comprehensive income	 	$	10,730	 	$	16,362	 	

	 	

The equity adjustment from foreign currency translation represents the effect of translating the assets and liabilities of the Corporation’s non-U.S. entities. This amount is impacted year-over-year by foreign currency fluctuations and by the acquisitions of foreign entities.
16.	CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS	
The Corporation, through its subsidiary located in Switzerland, entered into a credit agreement with UBS AG (“UBS”) for a credit facility in the amount of 6.0 million Swiss francs ($5.0 million) for the issue of performance guarantees related to long-term contracts. The Corporation received prepayments on these contracts, which are being used as collateral against the credit facility. The customers can draw down on the line of credit for nonperformance up to the amount of pledged collateral, which is released from restriction over time as the Corporation meets its obligations under the long-term contracts. Under the terms of this credit facility agreement, the Corporation is not permitted to borrow against the line of credit. The Corporation is charged a commitment fee on the outstanding balance of the collateralized cash. As of March 31, 2005, the amount of restricted cash under this facility was $2.7 million, all of which is expected to be released from restriction after one year.
The Corporation has several NRC licenses necessary for the continued operation of the business. 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 costs of decommissioning the facility, which is estimated for 2017, is $3.1 million.
Consistent with other entities its size, the Corporation is 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.

COMPANY ORGANIZATION
The Corporation manages and evaluates its operations based on the products and services it offers and the different markets it serves. Based on this approach, the Corporation has three reportable segments: Flow Control, Motion Control, and Metal Treatment. The Flow Control segment primarily designs, manufactures, distributes, and services a broad range of highly engineered flow-control products. These products are for severe service military and commercial applications including power generation, oil and gas, and general industrial. The Motion Control segment primarily designs, develops, and manufactures high-performance mechanical systems, drive systems, embedded computing solutions, and electronic controls and sensors for the defense, aerospace, and general industrial markets. Metal Treatment provides a variety of metallurgical services, principally shot peening, laser peening, heat treating, and coatings, for various industries, including military and commercial aerospace, automotive, construction equipment, oil and gas, power generation, and general industrial.
RESULTS of OPERATIONS
Analytical definitions
Throughout management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the terms “incremental,” “base,” and “organic” are used to explain changes from period to period. “Incremental” references are defined as the current period results of acquisitions included in the Corporation’s results of operations for which no prior period results exist. Therefore, the results of operations for acquisitions are “incremental” for the twelve months from the date of acquisition.
For quarterly reporting purposes, acquisitions are segregated from the results of the Corporation’s other businesses for a full year, or in the more likely event of a mid-quarter acquisition, 5 quarters. For year to date reporting purposes, acquisitions remain segregated for two years. The remaining businesses are referred to as the “base” businesses, and operations of the base businesses are referred to as “organic.” An acquisition is considered base when the reporting period includes fully comparable current and prior period data. Therefore, for the first quarter our organic growth excludes the twelve acquisitions completed since January 1, 2004.
Three months ended March 31, 2005
Sales for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $258.5 million, an increase of 20% from sales of $214.9 million for the first quarter of 2004. New orders received for the current quarter of $325.8 million were up 38% over the orders of $235.4 million for the first quarter of 2004. Acquisitions made in 2005 and 2004 contributed $45.2 million in incremental new orders received in the first quarter of 2005. Backlog increased 19% to $748.2 million at March 31, 2005 from $627.7 million at December 31, 2004. The acquisition made in 2005 represented $57.4 million of the backlog at March 31, 2005. Approximately 70% of our backlog is from military business.
Sales for the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the same period last year, benefited from the acquisitions completed in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, which contributed $35.8 million in incremental sales (or 82% of the overall increase) in the first quarter of 2005. The remaining base businesses generated overall organic growth of 4% in the first quarter of 2005. This organic sales growth was driven by our Metal Treatment and Motion Control segments, which

experienced organic growth of 13% and 5%, respectively, compared to the prior year period. Our Flow Control segment’s organic sales declined 1% in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the prior year period.
In our base businesses, higher sales from our Metal Treatment segment of global shot peening services of $3.7 million, higher Motion Control segment sales to the global commercial aerospace and general industrial markets of $4.4 million, and higher sales from our Flow Control segment to the oil and gas and commercial power generation markets of $4.5 million all contributed to the organic growth. Offsetting these increases are lower sales of flow control products to the U. S. Navy of $6.0 million due to timing of contractual revenues and lower sales of motion control products to the global transportation industry of $1.5 million. In addition, foreign currency translation favorably impacted sales by $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to the prior year period.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $27.5 million, an increase of 9% from operating income of $25.2 million for the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to a $2.8 million gain on the sale of our Fairfield property, which was previously used for operations. Business segment operating income declined 3% for the same comparable periods. The decline included lower organic operating income of 2%, offset somewhat by our 2004 and 2005 acquisitions, which contributed $0.1 million of incremental operating income in the first quarter of 2005. The decline in organic operating income was caused primarily by unfavorable sales mix in our Flow Control and Motion Control segments. This decline was partially offset by organic operating income growth of 17% in the Metal Treatment segment. Our Motion Control acquisitions experienced increased integration costs of $0.8 million, primarily in the embedded computing group, which further reduced the operating margins. In addition, anticipated shipping delays and additional costs relating to a relocation into a larger facility resulted in an operating loss for the quarter of $1.0 million at our European valves division. Operating income was also negatively impacted by $0.5 million higher pension expense from the Curtiss-Wright pension plan in the first quarter 2005 as compared to the prior year. Foreign exchange translation had a favorable impact of $0.4 million on operating income for the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the prior year period. We believe operating margins will improve in the second half of 2005 as we expect greater sales volume and lower integration costs in our embedded computing group, reduced operating costs from the benefits of integration, and better product mix through sales of higher margin products.
Net earnings for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $14.5 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, which represents a decrease of 7% as compared to the net earnings for the first quarter of 2004 of $15.6 million, or $0.74 per diluted share. Lower segment operating income in the first quarter of 2005 of $0.7 million coupled with higher interest expense of $2.0 million, due to both higher debt levels and higher interest rates, lowered net earnings in the first quarter of 2005. Net earnings for the first quarter of 2005 include a net after tax gain of $1.5 million (approximately $0.07 per diluted share), related to the sale of non-operating property. In addition, the net earnings for the first quarter of 2004 included nonrecurring tax benefits of $1.5 million (approximately $0.07 per diluted share).

Flow Control
The Corporation’s Flow Control segment posted sales of $109.4 million for the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 22% from $89.4 million in the first quarter of 2004. The 2004 acquisitions contributed $20.9 million in incremental sales in the first quarter of 2005 over the prior year period. This segment experienced an overall decline in organic growth of 1% primarily resulting from lower overall sales to the U.S. Navy of $6.0 million due to timing of customer driven delivery schedules, offset mostly by higher sales to the oil and gas and commercial power generation markets of $4.5 million. Sales of pumps and generators dropped $8.0 million as we completed production, development, and prototype work on several submarine classes and on the CVN 21 aircraft carrier. The revenues associated with these products are expected to increase in the second half of 2005 through greater production work on the CVN 21 aircraft carrier and the VA class submarine. Offsetting these declines were increased revenues from valve and generic electronic product sales and development work for the U.S. Navy of $4.6 million due to increasing market share. Revenues derived from the oil and gas market were driven mainly by our coker valve sales, which increased $2.0 million, as the product continues to gain acceptance in the industry. Commercial power generation revenues are being driven by sales of reactor coolant pumps and control drive rod mechanisms to nuclear power plants, offset by a drop in motor remanufacture, which netted an increase of $1.4 million period over period. Sales in this market are generally driven by customer maintenance schedules, which vary in timing and can cause fluctuations from period to period. In addition, foreign currency translation favorably impacted this segment’s sales for the first quarter of 2005 by $0.4 million, as compared to the prior year period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS of OPERATIONS , continued
 
Operating income for the first quarter of 2005 was $10.3 million, a decrease of 1% as compared to $10.4 million for the same period last year. The decline was due to the lower sales volume to the U.S. Navy, decreased higher margin spares sales to the oil and gas market, increased sales of generic electronics products and development programs, which generate lower margins, and increased development costs on new products, mostly offset by contributions from the 2004 acquisitions. In addition, anticipated shipping delays and additional costs relating to a relocation into a larger facility resulted in an operating loss for the quarter of $1.0 million at our European valves division. The business segment also benefited slightly from favorable foreign currency translation in the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the first quarter of 2004.
New orders received for the Flow Control segment totaled $132.7 million in the first quarter of 2005 representing an increase of 15% from the same period in 2004. The increase is due to the incremental new orders from the 2004 acquisitions of $22.1 million. The base businesses experienced a decline in new orders of 4% mainly due to strong orders received in the first quarter of 2004 in the oil and gas industry. Backlog increased 6% to $419.4 million at March 31, 2005 from $396.3 million at December 31, 2004.
Motion Control
Sales for the Corporation’s Motion Control segment increased 20% to $100.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 from $83.3 million in the first quarter of 2004, primarily due to the contribution of the 2004 and 2005 acquisitions, which contributed $13.3 million in incremental sales (or 79% of the overall increase) for the first quarter of 2005. Organic sales growth was 5% in the first quarter of 2005. This organic growth increase was due primarily to increased demand for controller products by the general industrial market, which contributed $2.3 million to the increase. Upgrades to both commercial and defense European aerospace programs have driven demand for our data recording devices, adding another $0.8 million to the organic sales growth. The segment also experienced increased sales growth in its electronics markets for production work on helicopter radar warning systems and redesign and production work for the mobile gun system, which more than offset the decline in production work on the Bradley and Abrams programs, and contributed a net $1.0 million to increased first quarter sales. Offsetting these increases were reduced spares sales of actuation systems on the F-16 of $2.8 million, due mainly to timing of customer order requirements, and lower sales of tilting train systems in Europe of $1.5 million due to expiration of this program in 2004. Foreign currency translation favorably impacted sales for the first quarter of 2005 by $1.0 million, as compared to the prior year period.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2005 was $6.4 million, a decrease of 23% from the same period last year of $8.3 million. The segment’s 2004 and 2005 acquisitions experienced an incremental loss in the quarter of $1.5 million due to lower revenues based on customer delivery requirements and increased integration costs of $0.8 million. Additionally, the segment experienced an organic operating income decline of 3% driven primarily by unfavorable sales mix. The most significant of these impacts occurred in our military defense business, where higher margin spares sales were replaced by lower margin production and development work. The business segment also benefited from favorable foreign currency translation of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the first quarter of 2004.

New orders received for the Motion Control segment totaled $143.4 million in the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 85% from the same period in 2004. Acquisitions made in 2004 and 2005 contributed $21.4 million in incremental new orders received in the first quarter of 2005, while the remaining base businesses grew $35.8 million, or 60%, with gains across most product lines and market segments. Backlog increased 42% to $326.1 million at March 31, 2005 from $229.6 million at December 31, 2004. The acquisition made in 2005 represented $57.4 million of the backlog at March 31, 2005.
Metal Treatment
Sales for the Corporation’s Metal Treatment segment totaled $49.0 million for the first quarter of 2005, up 16% when compared with $42.2 million in the first quarter of 2004. The sales improvement is mainly due to organic growth of 13% in base businesses in the first quarter of 2005, which was driven by higher global shot peening revenues from the aerospace and automotive markets of $3.7 million. Generally, this segment’s revenue growth can be attributed to the improving economic conditions worldwide. The segment’s 2004 acquisitions contributed $1.7 million in incremental revenue period over period. In addition, foreign currency translation favorably impacted sales for the first quarter of 2005 by $0.8 million, as compared to the prior year period.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2005 increased 19% to $7.8 million from $6.6 million for the same period last year. Overall margin improvement was due mainly to the higher sales volume noted above. Partially offsetting the operating income margins of the segment were unfavorable sales mix and increased operating costs. The business segment also benefited from favorable foreign currency translation of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the first quarter of 2004.
New orders received for the Metal Treatment segment totaled $49.7 million in the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 16% from the same period in 2004. Acquisitions made in 2004 contributed $1.7 million in incremental new orders received in the first quarter of 2005. Backlog increased 39% to $2.6 million at March 31, 2005 from $1.9 million at December 31, 2004.
Interest Expense
The increase in interest expense of $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2005 was due to higher debt levels and higher interest rates associated with the funding of our acquisitions, which accounted for 60% and 40% of the increase, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS of OPERATIONS, continued
 
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Corporation derives the majority of its operating cash inflow from receipts on the sale of goods and services and cash outflow for the procurement of materials and labor and is therefore subject to market fluctuations and conditions. A substantial portion of the Corporation’s 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 milestones) that provide the Corporation 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.
Operating Activities
The Corporation’s working capital was $275.7 million at March 31, 2005, an increase of $63.5 million from the working capital at December 31, 2004 of $212.2 million. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.5 to 1 at March 31, 2005 versus 2.1 to 1 at December 31, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $41.8 million in the aggregate at March 31, 2005, up from $41.0 million at December 31, 2004. Days sales outstanding at March 31, 2005 was 56 days as compared to 47 days at December 31, 2004. Inventory turns were 5.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 5.8 at December 31, 2004.
Excluding cash, working capital increased $62.8 million from December 31, 2004, partially due to the Indal Technologies acquisition made in the first quarter of 2005. In addition to the impact of the acquisition, working capital changes were primarily affected by a decrease of $21.1 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the payments of material procured in late 2004, annual employee bonuses and interest, and an increase of $10.9 million in accounts receivable due mainly to delayed milestone billings and customer payments.
Investing Activities
The Corporation acquired one business in the first quarter of 2005. A combination of cash resources and funds available under the Corporation’s credit agreement was utilized for the funding of the acquisition, which totaled $62.8 million. Additional acquisitions will depend, in part, on the availability of financial resources at a cost of capital that meets stringent criteria. As such, future acquisitions, if any, may be funded through the use of the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents, through additional financing available under the credit agreement, or through new financing alternatives. As indicated in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s Annual Report, certain acquisition agreements contain contingent purchase price adjustments, such as potential earn-out payments. In the first quarter of 2005, the Corporation made approximately $0.9 million in earn-out payments. Additionally, the Corporation paid an additional $5.1 million relating to prior period acquisitions, as required by the terms of the acquisition agreements.
Capital expenditures were $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2005. Internally available funds were adequate to meet the capital expenditures. Principal expenditures included the purchase of a new facility for our European valves division, new and replacement machinery and equipment and for the expansion of new product lines within the business segments.     The Corporation is expected to make additional capital expenditures of approximately $40 million during the remainder of 2005 on machinery and equipment for ongoing operations at the business segments, expansion of existing facilities, and investments in new product lines and facilities.

Financing Activities
At March 31, 2005, the Corporation had a $400 million credit agreement (the “Agreement”) with a group of ten banks. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at a floating rate based on market conditions. In addition, the Corporation’s interest rate and level of facility fees are dependent on certain financial ratio levels, as defined in the Agreement. The Corporation is subject to annual facility fees on the commitments under the Agreement. In connection with the Agreement, the Corporation paid customary transaction fees that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the Agreement. The Corporation is required under the Agreement to maintain certain financial ratios and meet certain financial tests, the most restrictive of which is a debt to capitalization limit of 55%. The Agreement does not contain any subjective acceleration clauses. At March 31, 2005, the Corporation is in compliance with these covenants and had the flexibility to issue additional debt of $301 million without exceeding the covenant limit defined in the Agreement. The Corporation would consider other financing alternatives to maintain capital structure balance and ensure compliance with all debt covenants. Cash borrowings (excluding letters of credit) under the Agreement at March 31, 2005 were $205.0 million as compared to $124.5 million at December 31, 2004. The unused credit available under these agreements at March 31, 2005 was $172.0 million. The Agreement expires in July 2009.
On September 25, 2003 the Corporation issued $200.0 million of Senior Notes (the “Notes”). The Notes consist of $75.0 million of 5.13% Senior Notes that mature on September 25, 2010 and $125.0 million of 5.74% Senior Notes that mature on September 25, 2013. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are equal in right of payment to the Corporation’s existing senior indebtedness. The Corporation, at its option, can prepay at any time, all or from time to time any part of, the Notes, subject to a make-whole amount in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Notes, the Corporation paid customary fees that have been deferred and will be amortized over the terms of the Notes. The Corporation is required under the Note Purchase Agreement to maintain certain financial ratios, the most restrictive of which is a debt to capitalization limit of 60%. At March 31, 2005, the Corporation is in compliance with these covenants.
On November 6, 2003 the Corporation entered into two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $20 million and $60 million to effectively convert the fixed interest rates on the $75 million 5.13% Senior Notes and $125 million 5.74% Senior Notes, respectively, to variable rates based on specified spreads over six-month LIBOR. In the short-term, the swaps are expected to provide the Corporation with a lower level of interest expense related to the Notes.
Industrial revenue bonds, which are collateralized by real estate, machinery, and equipment, were $14.3 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The loans outstanding under the Senior Notes, Interest Rate Swaps, Revolving Credit Agreement, and Industrial Revenue Bonds had variable interest rates averaging 4.32% during the first quarter of 2005 and 3.65% for 2004.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our 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 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2005, 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.
Recently issued accounting standards:
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123(R)”). This Statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Employee share purchase plans will not result in recognition of compensation cost if certain conditions are met; those conditions are much the same as the related conditions in FAS 123(R). This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. On April 14, 2005 the SEC announced a deferral of the effective date of FAS 123(R) for calendar year companies until January 1, 2006. The Corporation has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement.

Item 3. Q  UANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the Corporation’s market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2005. Information regarding market risk and market risk management policies is more fully described in item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Item 4. C  ONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of March 31, 2005, the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the Corporation’s 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, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Corporation files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as and when required.
There have not been any changes in the Corporation’s 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 March 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. L  EGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to various pending claims, lawsuits, and contingent liabilities. The Corporation does not believe that the disposition of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Curtiss-Wright Corporation or its subsidiaries have been named in approximately 140 lawsuits that allege injury from exposure to asbestos. To date, Curtiss-Wright has secured its dismissal without prejudice in approximately 30 lawsuits, and is currently in discussions for similar dismissal in several others, and has not been found liable or paid any material sum of money in settlement in any case. Curtiss-Wright believes that the minimal use of asbestos in its operations and the relatively non-friable condition of asbestos in its products makes it unlikely that it will face material liability in any asbestos litigation, whether individually or in the aggregate. Curtiss-Wright does maintain insurance coverage for these lawsuits and it believes adequate coverage exists to cover any unanticipated asbestos liability.

Each registered holder of shares, upon request to the Corporation, shall be provided with a certificate of stock, representing the number of shares owned by such holder. Absent a specific request for such a certificate by the registered owner or transferee thereof, all shares shall be uncertificated upon the original issuance thereof by the Corporation or upon the surrender of the certificate representing such shares to the Corporation. Certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be in such form as shall be approved by the Board of Directors or by any Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these by-laws with power for the purpose. They shall be numbered, shall certify the number of shares held by the holder

16
thereof and shall be signed by the Chairman, President, or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, and the seal of the Corporation shall be affixed thereto. Where any such certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent, other than the Corporation or its employee, or by a registrar, other than the Corporation or its employee, any other signature and the seal of the Corporation on such certificate may be a facsimile, engraved, stamped or printed. In any case any such officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent, or registrar were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of its issue.
SECTION 2.     Transfer of Stock . Transfers of shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be made only on the books of the Corporation by the holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by a power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, or a transfer agent of the Corporation, if any, and on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares, properly endorsed, or upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the owner of uncertificated shares, or upon the escheat of said shares under the laws of any state of the United States. A person in whose name shares of stock stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof as regards the Corporation, provided that whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, such fact, if known to the Secretary or to said transfer agent, shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer.

Each stockholder shall designate to the Secretary of the Corporation an address at which notices of meetings and all other corporate notices may be served or mailed to him, and if any stockholder shall fail to designate such address, corporate notices may be served upon him by mail directed to him at his last known post office address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.
SECTION 4.     Lost, Stolen, Destroyed and Mutilated Certificates . To deal with the eventuality of lost, stolen, destroyed and mutilated certificates of stock the Board of Directors or any Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these by-laws with power for the purpose may establish by appropriate resolutions such rules and regulations as they deem expedient concerning the issue to such holder of uncertificated shares or, if requested by such holder, a new certificate or certificates of stock, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient with respect to the proof of loss, theft or destruction and the surrender of mutilated certificates and the requirements as to the giving of a bond or bonds to indemnify the Corporation against any claim which may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate. The holder of any stock of the Corporation shall immediately notify the Corporation and/or the appropriate transfer agent of such stock of any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the certificate therefor.
SECTION 5.     Transfer Agent and Registrar : Regulations . The Corporation shall, if and whenever the Board of Directors or any Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these by-laws with power for the purpose shall so determine, maintain one or more transfer offices or agencies, each in charge of a transfer agent designated by the Board of Directors or by such Committee, where the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be directly

17
transferable, and also one or more registry offices, each in charge of a registrar designated by the Board of Directors or by such Committee, where such shares of stock shall be registered, and no certificate for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation, in respect of which a registrar and transfer agent shall have been designated, shall be valid unless countersigned by such transfer agent and registered by such registrar. A firm may act at the same time as both transfer agent and registrar of the Corporation. The Board of Directors or any such Committee may also make such additional rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of uncertificated shares or certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation.
SECTION 6.     Fixing Record Date . (a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
SECTION 7.     Examination of Books by Stockholders . The Board of Directors or any Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these by-laws with power for the purpose shall, subject to the laws of the State of Delaware, have power to determine, from time to time, whether and to what extent and under what conditions and regulations the accounts and books of the Corporation, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of the stockholders; and no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account, book or document of the Corporation, except as conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, unless and until authorized so to do by resolution of the Board of Directors or any Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these by-laws with power for the purpose or of the stockholders of the Corporation.

18
ARTICLE VIII.
 
DIVIDENDS, SURPLUS, ETC.
Subject to the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and any restrictions imposed by statute, the Board of Directors may declare dividends from the surplus of the Corporation or from the net profits arising from its business, whenever, and in such amounts as, in its opinion, the condition of the affairs of the Corporation shall render advisable. If the date appointed for the payment of any dividend shall in any year fall on a legal holiday then the dividend payable on such date shall be payable on the next succeeding business day. The Board of Directors in its discretion may from time to time set aside from such surplus or net profits such sum or sums as it, in its absolute discretion, may think proper as a working capital or as a reserve fund to meet contingencies, or for the purpose of maintaining or increasing the property or business of the Corporation, or for any other purpose it may think conducive to the best interests of the Corporation. All such surplus or net profits, until actually declared in dividends, or used and applied as aforesaid, shall be deemed to have been so set aside by the Board for one or more of said purposes.

Notwithstanding anything else contained in these by-laws to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of record of at least 66 2/3% of the combined voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in respect thereof, voting together as a single class, shall be required in order for the stockholders to adopt, alter, amend, rescind or repeal any by-laws of the Corporation.
