Item 1. Business. Curtiss-Wright Corporation was incorporated in 1929 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Curtiss-Wright operates in two industry segments; Aerospace & Marine, and Industrial. The Corporation revised its industry segment presentation in 1995 to better align its current components of revenue producing products and services to the markets served. In June 1995 the Corporation sold its Buffalo extrusion facility. Its operations were not material to the Corporation's sales or profits in 1995.
Aerospace & Marine Segment
Control and actuation systems are designed, developed and manufactured by the Corporation for the aerospace industry by Curtiss-Wright Flight Systems, Inc. and Curtiss-Wright Flight Systems/Shelby, Inc. (collectively "Flight Systems"), wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Registrant. Generally speaking, such components and systems are designed to position aircraft control surfaces, or to operate canopies, landing gear or weapon bay doors or other devices through the use of actuators. Products offered consist of electro-mechanical and hydro-mechanical actuation components and systems. They include actuators for the Lockheed Martin, and McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 fighter planes, the Boeing 737, 747, 757, 767 and 777 jet transports, and the Sikorsky Black Hawk and Seahawk helicopters. In 1995 Flight Systems entered into agreements with the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group to supply trailing edge flap transmissions for Boeing 757 aircraft, trailing edge flap rotary actuators for Boeing 767 aircraft and trailing edge flap transmissions for the redesigned Boeing 737 aircraft. These production contracts run through the year 2002. Flight Systems also provides the airlines and other aircraft users with overhauls of transmissions and actuators previously manufactured by it for Boeing 737 and 747 aircraft and other components for the Lockheed Martin L-1011 aircraft and the GrummanA fighter plane. Overhaul services are also provided for other Boeing aircraft components originally manufactured by other Boeing suppliers. These services, as well as spare parts and components, are offered by Flight Systems and by Curtiss-Wright Flight Systems Europe A/S (an 80% owned subsidiary). Flight Systems provides the Leading Edge Flap Rotary Actuators (LEFRA) for the aircraft. There are ongoing commitments for new aircraft from the Lockheed Martin/Fort Worth Company for foreign military customers. In recent years, work on the has been the largest production program at Flight Systems. Future government orders for this aircraft are uncertain and the potential for the is largely dependent on Lockheed Martin's foreign sales. Flight Systems is a major supplier for the Lockheed Martin Advanced Tactical Fighter plane which has been described as the Air Force's future air superiority fighter. While Flight Systems does not expect to begin substantial production on this program for several years, the program is proceeding with the qualification testing and initial hardware phase of this engineering and manufacturing development program. Efforts by Flight Systems to expand its product base include continued work on a control system for the new Bell/Boeing tilt rotor V-22 aircraft which is also in the qualification testing and initial hardware phase of this engineering and manufacturing development program.
Engineering, manufacturing and development work is proceeding for the FA-18E/F Lex Vent Drive System under a contract awarded in 1993 with actual production several years away. Flight Systems' products are sold in keen competition with a number of other systems suppliers, some of which have financial resources greater than those of the Corporation and significant technological and human resources. Flight Systems and these suppliers compete to have their systems selected to perform control and actuation functions on new aircraft. This operation competes primarily on the basis of engineering capability, quality and price. Competition has intensified because relatively few new aircraft models have been produced in recent years. Products are marketed directly to Flight Systems' customers by employees. Metal Improvement Company, Inc. ("MIC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, performs shot-peening and peen-forming operations for aerospace manufacturers and their suppliers. Shot peening is a physical process used primarily to increase fatigue life in metal parts. MIC provides shot-peening services to jet engine manufacturers, landing gear suppliers and many other aerospace manufacturers. Peen forming is a process used to form curvatures in panel shape metal parts to very close tolerances. These panels are used as the "wing skins" after assembly on many commercial, military and executive aircraft in service today. Currently, MIC is peen-forming wing skins for jet transports manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. It also participates in the "Airbus" commercial jet transport program as a supplier to British Aerospace. MIC's marketing is accomplished through direct sales. While MIC competes with a great many firms and often deals with customers which have the resources to perform for themselves the same services as are provided by MIC, MIC considers that its greater technical expertise and superior quality provide it with a competitive advantage. Target Rock Corporation ("Target Rock"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, manufactures and refurbishes highly engineered valves of various types and sizes, such as hydraulically operated, motor operated and solenoid operated globe, gate, control and safety relief valves, which are used to control the flow of liquids and gases, and provide safe relief in the event of system overpressure for use in United States Navy nuclear propulsion systems. It also supplies actuators and controllers for Target Rock manufactured valves as well as for valves manufactured by others. Sales are made by responding directly to requests for proposals from customers and through use of marketing representatives. The production of valves for the United States Navy is characterized by long lead times from order placement to delivery. Target Rock's customers are sophisticated and demanding. Strong competition in valves is encountered primarily from a small number of domestic firms in the military market. Despite a declining market, Target Rock has been able to increase its market share and to maintain its sales volume. Performance, quality, technology, production methods, delivery and price are the principal areas of competition. The business of the Aerospace & Marine Segment would be materially affected by the loss of any one of several important customers. A substantial portion of segment sales are made to Lockheed Martin Corporation for engineering and design work and to the Boeing Company for commercial transport aircraft. A substantial amount of the sales of Target Rock are made to the Westinghouse Electric Corporation for United States Navy end use. The loss of any of these important customers would have a material adverse effect on this segment. Furthermore, the likelihood of future reductions in military programs due to reduced spending continues to exist. U.S. Government direct and end use sales of this segment in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $38.0, $44.0 and $52.4 million, respectively.
The backlog of the Aerospace & Marine Segment as of January 31, 1996 was $119.4 million as compared with $107.3 million as of January 31, 1995. Of the January 31, 1996 amount, approximately 46% is expected to be shipped during 1996. None of the business of this segment is seasonal. Raw materials are generally available in adequate quantities from a number of suppliers.
Industrial Segment
The MIC subsidiary of the Corporation is engaged in the business of per- forming shot peening and heat treating for a broad spectrum of industrial customers, principally in the automotive, agricultural equipment, construction equipment and oil and gas industries. Heat treating is a metallurgical process used primarily to harden metals in order to provide increased durability and service life. MIC marketing and sales activity are done on a direct sales basis. Operations are conducted in facilities in the United States, Canada, England, France and Germany. Although numerous companies compete in the shot- peening field, and many customers for shot-peening services have the resources to perform such services themselves, MIC believes that its greater technical know-how provides it with a competitive advantage. MIC experiences substantial competition from other companies in heat-treating metal components. Substantial numbers of industrial firms elect to perform shot peening and heat treating for themselves. MIC also competes on the basis of quality, service, price and delivery. MIC is also engaged in the business of precision stamping and finishing of high strength steel reed valves used by various manufacturers of products such as refrigerators, air compressors, and small engines. Flight Systems has designed and developed a commercial rescue tool using its power hinge aerospace technology which is being marketed under the name Power Hawk(TM). The primary use for this tool is the extrication of automobile accident victims. A distribution network for the United States market has been completed and commercial sales commenced in 1995. The Target Rock subsidiary of the Corporation manufactures and refurbishes highly engineered valves of various types and sizes, such as hydraulically operated, motor operated and solenoid operated globe, gate, control and safety relief valves, which are used to control the flow of liquids and gases, and provide safe relief in the event of system overpressure, which are used in new and existing commercial nuclear and fossil fuel power plants and in facilities for process steam regeneration in the petroleum, paper and chemical industries. It also supplies actuators and controllers for Target Rock manufactured valves as well as for valves manufactured by others. Target Rock's packless electronic control valve is offered as a replacement item for competitors' commercial valves containing packing. The success of this valve is dependent upon the future application of stringent new Federal standards limiting air pollution from "fugitive" emissions from valves now widely in use. Target Rock's products are sold to domestic and foreign end users. Foreign sales have been for use in nuclear power plant construction projects principally for the Asian market. Strong competition in valves is encountered primarily from a larger number of domestic and foreign sources in the commercial market. Sales to commercial users are accomplished through independent marketing representatives and by direct sales. These valve products are sold to customers who are sophisticated and demanding. Performance, quality, technology, delivery and price are the principal areas of competition. The business of the Industrial segment is not materially dependent upon any single source of supply. The backlog of this segment (which has historically been low relative to sales of the segment) as of January 31, 1996 was $4.4 million as compared with $11.7 million as of January 31, 1995. Virtually all of the January 31, 1996 backlog is expected to be shipped in 1996. None of the business of this segment is seasonal. Raw materials, though not particularly significant to these operations, are available in adequate quantities.
Other Information Government Sales In 1995, 1994 and 1993, direct sales to the United States Government and sales for United States Government end use aggregated 39%, 31% and 34%, respectively, of total sales for all segments. United States Government sales, both direct and subcontract, are generally made under one of the standard types of government contracts, including fixed price and fixed price-redeterminable. In accordance with normal practice in the case of United States Government business, contracts and orders are subject to partial or complete termination at any time, at the option of the customer. In the event of a termination for convenience by the Government, there generally are provisions for recovery by the Corporation of its allowable incurred costs and a proportionate share of the profit or fee on the work done, consistent with regulations of the United States Government. Subcontracts for Navy nuclear valves usually provide that Target Rock must absorb most of any overrun of "target" costs. In the event that there is a cost underrun, however, the customer is to recoup the larger portion of the underrun. It is the policy of the Corporation to seek customary progress payments on certain of its contracts. Where such payments are obtained by the Corporation under United States government prime contracts or subcontracts, they are secured by a lien in favor of the government on the materials and work in process allocable or chargeable to the respective contracts. (See Notes 1.C, 3 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on pages 22 and 24 of the 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 13 and hereinafter referred to as the "Registrant's Annual Report"). In the case of most valve products for United States Government end use, the subcontracts typically provide for the retention by the customer of stipulated percentages of the contract price, pending completion of contract closeout conditions.
Research and Development Research and development expenditures sponsored by the Corporation amounted to approximately $1,180,000 in 1995 as compared to about $1,196,000 in 1994 and $1,420,000 in 1993. During 1995, Curtiss-Wright spent an additional $17.4 million for customer-sponsored development work. The Corporation owns and is licensed under a number of United States and foreign patents and patent applications which have been obtained or filed over a period of years. The Corporation does not consider that the successful conduct of its business is materially dependent upon the protection of any one or more of these patents, patent applications or patent license agreements under which it now operates.
Environmental Protection The effect of compliance upon the Corporation with present legal require- ments concerning protection of the environment is described in the material in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements which appears on page 28 of the Registrant's Annual Report and is incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report.
Employees At the end of 1995, the Corporation had approximately 1,500 employees. Most production employees are represented by labor unions and are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Certain Financial Information The Industry Segment information is described in the material in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which appears on Pages 30 and 31 of the Registrant's Annual Report and is incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report. It should be noted that in recent years a significant percentage of the pre-tax earnings from operations of the Corporation has been derived from European operations of MIC. The Corporation does not regard the risks attendant to these foreign operations to be materially greater than those applicable to its business in the U.S.

Item 3.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
In October 1989 a joint and several liability claim in an unspecified amount was brought by the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP") against the Registrant and a dozen or more other corpor- ations under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act for reimbursement of costs incurred by the State in response to the release of hazardous substances at Sharkey Landfill site in Parsippany, New Jersey, for a future declaratory judgment in favor of the State with respect to all future such costs and for penalties and costs of enforcement, including attorney fees. The case was subsequently consolidated for all purposes with U.S. v. CMDG Realty Co., et al., a parallel action by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") in which the Registrant was not a defendant. Both cases are pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Site remediation is proceeding pursuant to the terms of a consent decree with the DEP and EPA which was filed with the court in December 1994. A third-party complaint in both cases which had been filed against approximately thirty industrial concerns, forty governmental instrumentalities and forty trans- porters, alleging that each of them is liable in some measure for the costs related to the site, is in the discovery phase.
