            Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                               (In Thousands)
 
 
 
Basis of Presentation
- - ----------------------
  The December 31, 1993 condensed consolidated balance sheet
amounts have been derived from the previously audited consolidated
balance sheet of Kaman Corporation and subsidiaries.
 
  The balance of the condensed financial information reflects all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and
are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in
this report.  
 
  The statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to
the consolidated financial statements included in Kaman
Corporation's 1993 Annual Report.
 
  
Earnings Per Common Share Calculations
- - --------------------------------------
 
  The primary net earnings per common share computation is based on net
earnings less the preferred stock dividend requirement (in 1994) divided by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding which
includes the common stock equivalency of options granted under the
1983 and 1993 stock incentive plans.
 
  The fully diluted net earnings per common share computation assumes, 
in addition to the above, that the 6% convertible subordinated
debentures and Series 2 preferred stock (in 1994) were converted into 
common stock at the beginning of each period. The resultant reduction
in interest costs net of tax and the preferred stock dividend requirement 
(in 1994) are added back to net earnings.
 

Cash Flow Items
- - ---------------
 
  Cash payments for interest were $1,424 and $3,314 for the three
months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Cash
payments for income taxes for the comparable periods were $1,555 
and $1,462, respectively.

1994 were level with the same period of 1993.  While Distribution
segment sales increased for the period, the increase was offset
by lower sales in the Diversified Technologies segment.

Diversified Technologies revenues for the first quarter of 1994
were down 11.8% from the comparable period of 1993, reflecting
the adverse influence of conditions in the defense market and the
commercial aircraft industry.  

For some time now, defense expenditures have been declining as
changes in U.S. defense planning and spending priorities continue
to evolve.  These circumstances, coupled with ongoing political
pressures upon the federal budget, suggest that reductions in
defense expenditures are likely to continue in future periods. 
Military hardware programs, in particular, are increasingly
subject to risks of one form or another, whether it be lack of
funding, contract cancellation, or simply the ending of a
program.  The corporation is feeling the effects of these risks,
principally with respect to its SH-2 helicopter.  The corporation
expects to finish its contract to retrofit certain SH-2Fs to the
SH-2G configuration sometime this year.   Management does not
believe that the U.S. government will have further requirements
for retrofits of this helicopter because the Navy is reducing the
size of its fleet.  And, as fleet size decreases, so does the
number of our helicopters remaining in service.  The corporation
will continue to provide logistics and spare parts support for
the SH-2, but at lower levels than in the past.  

As the federal government responds to the fact that the form of
military threat throughout the world has changed and that the
American public has grown more intolerant of the loss of lives in
military conflict, defense planning and spending priorities are
shifting toward greater emphasis on more cost effective advanced
technology "smart" weapons which are intended to limit loss of
life and unnecessary destruction of property.  The corporation
has significant expertise in this area, having performed a
multitude of government contracts for advanced technology
programs over the years.  Management believes that the
corporation is particularly well positioned to compete in a
defense environment that emphasizes advanced technology products
and systems, as well as advanced technology services such as
computer software development, intelligence analysis, and
research and development.

The Diversified Technologies segment continues to perform work on
a number of commercial airframe manufacturing programs, although
reductions in commercial air travel and consolidation in the
domestic aircraft industry have caused a slowdown in aircraft
production rates, which has in turn affected the segment's
subcontract work.  

An important aspect of the Diversified Technologies segment
commercial diversification efforts is the K-MAX  helicopter
program. The K-MAX   is a medium to heavy lift 'aerial truck'
helicopter with special operating characteristics that
distinguish it from other helicopters for use in logging, fire
fighting, and other utility applications.  The program is
proceeding according to plan, with receipt of Federal Aviation
Administration certification anticipated by mid 1994. The
production phase for the first five (5) helicopters has begun and
units are expected to be delivered to initial customers shortly
after certification is received.  The corporation intends to
lease the first group under a special lease program in order to
maintain active involvement in the product's introduction to the
marketplace.  Although management believes that this program is
an important part of the corporation's defense conversion effort,
in the shorter term the program is not expected to materially
offset the effects of reduced defense spending. 

Distribution segment revenues for the three month period ended
March 31, 1994 increased 9.0% over the same period a year ago. 
These results are primarily attributable to the industrial
technologies business (which comprises about 75% of the
Distribution segment) and reflect improving economic conditions
in North America as well as, to some extent, the effects of
certain marketing and other internal company initiatives.  

Although total segment revenues remained level, total operating
profits for the segments of the corporation were down slightly
for the first quarter of 1994 compared to the same period of
1993.  In part, these results are attributable to reductions in
the higher profit margin Diversified Technologies' hardware
programs and increases in lower profit margin Distribution
revenues. Specifically, Diversified Technologies operating
profits were down 13.4%, for several reasons, including program
reductions due to lower defense spending; increased competition
for the awarding of defense contracts which has resulted in
downward pressures on margins; ongoing research and development
costs for defense conversion programs, notably the K-MAX 
helicopter; and a continuing shift in business mix from hardware
programs to research and development type products and services
with somewhat lower profit margins.  Distribution segment
operating profits were up 24.6% for the first quarter of 1994
compared to the same period a year ago.  These results are
primarily attributable to the industrial technologies business
and reflect improvements in the domestic economy.

Interest expense for the first three months of 1994 declined 53%
from the same period a year ago.  This reduction is primarily a
result of the corporation's exchange of $61.8 million of its 6%
convertible subordinated debentures for $57.2 million of its
preferred stock during the fourth quarter of 1993.  

The consolidated effective income tax rate for the three month
period was 40.6% in both 1994 and 1993.  

Net earnings were $4.2 million for the first quarter of 1994,
compared to $4.0 million for the same period of 1993.  After
giving effect to the preferred stock dividend requirements,
earnings available to common shareholders were $3.3 million,
compared to $4.0 million in 1993. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------
The corporation's cash flow from operations has generally been
sufficient to finance a significant portion of its working
capital and other capital requirements.  

For general borrowing purposes, the corporation has revolving
credit agreements involving several banks located in the U.S.,
Canada, and Europe.  These agreements currently provide unsecured
lines of credit totaling $145 million and contain various
covenants, including working capital and tangible net worth
requirements.  Eighty million dollars of the total revolving
credit commitment is scheduled to end in January, 1996, with the
balance expiring in September, 1996, at which times borrowings
may be converted to term loans.  There were no borrowings under
these agreements during the first three months of 1994 or the
same period of 1993.  

The corporation also maintains other short-term credit
arrangements with various banks.  As of March 31, 1994, these
borrowings were at $26.7 million.  For the first quarter of 1994,
average bank borrowings against these short-term lines were
approximately $30.7 million, compared to $32.3 million for the
same period of 1993.  

As of March 31, 1994, the corporation had repurchased 653,000
Class A shares under its stock repurchase program (which was
renewed in 1992 with an authorization to purchase up to 700,000
Class A shares).  The purpose of the program is to meet the needs
of the Employees Stock Purchase Plan and Stock Incentive Plan.

Management believes that the corporation's cash flow from
operations and available unused bank lines of credit under its
revolving credit agreements will be sufficient to finance working
capital and other capital requirements for the foreseeable
future.
