NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited-Thousands of dollars, except share data)

1.	Financial Statements
     In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2002, the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.  The December 31, 2001 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The accompanying financial statements contain only normal recurring adjustments.  All financial information has been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles reflected in the financial statements included in the 2001 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K applied on a consistent basis.

2.	Change in Accounting Policies
     Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."  This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life no longer be amortized but be tested for impairment at least annually.  The amortization period of intangible assets with finite lives is no longer limited to forty years. Total amortization expense for goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life for full year 2001 was $5,011 on an after-tax basis, or $.38 per share.  The Company incurred no transitional impairment charge for adopting the new provisions for determining goodwill impairment and assessing the useful lives of other intangible assets.

The following information is presented to compare current period net earnings to prior period net earnings adjusted to exclude amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life that are no longer amortized beginning January 1, 2002:

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company also adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."  This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121 on the same topic and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business.  This statement also amends ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary.  The adoption of this standard had no effect on the Company's financial statements.

3.	Restructure of Operations

In 2001, the Company announced plans to eliminate, consolidate and restructure certain manufacturing operations.  The elements of this plan include the closure of five manufacturing plants (affecting 500 employees), reduction of an additional 300 employees at remaining plants, relocation of certain product lines to existing facilities, outsourcing the manufacture of certain product lines to third parties, discontinuing production of certain product lines and further integrating and consolidating the operations of certain acquired companies.  The Statement of Consolidated Operations for the second quarter of 2001 includes charges for restructurings and impairments and related inventory write downs that total $10,600 ($7,000 or $0.53 per share on an after-tax basis).  The Statement of Consolidated Operations for the fourth quarter of 2001 includes charges for restructurings and impairments that total $10,000 ($6,500 or $0.49 per share on an after-tax basis).  As of June 30, 2002 employment has been reduced by approximately 756 people due to the restructuring actions.

|Employee separations   | $3,300                               | $2,300   | $1,000                          
|Lease termination cost | 600                                  | 100      | 500                             
|Other costs            | 900                                  | 600      | 300                             
|                       | $4,800                               | $3,000   | $1,800                          

In addition, the Company has incurred certain related costs that are charged to the statement of consolidated operations as incurred.  For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company incurred $2,610 ($1,700 or $0.13 per share on an after-tax basis) of costs related to the restructure plan that were charged to the statement of consolidated operations as incurred.  These costs included $1,690 for losses during the wind-down period, $610 of costs to relocate equipment and $310 of costs to start up production at plants where products have been transferred.

In the second quarter of 2002, the Company also announced plans to close two additional facilities (affecting 31 employees):  a marketing and distribution center in Singapore and a manufacturing facility in France.  The Statement of Consolidated Operations for 2002 includes charges of $900 ($690 or $0.05 per share on an after-tax basis) classified as selling, general and administrative expense.  As of June 30, 2002, employment has been reduced by 23 people due to these actions. The components of the 2002 charge are approximately $400 for employee separations, $300 for write down of assets and $200 for other related costs.  Incurred costs related to these actions include $300 for employee separations and $300 for write down of assets.  The June 30, 2002 consolidated Balance Sheet includes an accrual of $300 related to these actions.

4.	Business Acquisitions

All acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method.  The results of operations of the acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.

On April 5, 2001, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of M. Argüeso & Co., Inc. (Argüeso) based in Mamaroneck, New York for $19,685.  Consideration consisted of $9,094 in cash, $3,616 in debt assumed and 192,487 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $6,975.  Argüeso is a manufacturer and distributor of wax blends for use in the investment casting industry.  Argüeso's products are used in a variety of investment casting applications in industries such as aerospace, power generation and medical. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The intangible assets acquired are patents valued at $750 with a 14 year weighted-average useful life.  The $7,843 of goodwill was assigned to the Specialty Materials and Alloys segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

In 2001, the Company also completed two relatively smaller acquisitions. On February 6, 2001, the Company and a group of investors acquired substantially all of the assets and business of AAA Aircraft Supply Co., Inc. (AAA) located in Windsor Locks, Connecticut for $7,000.  The Company's ownership percentage is 88.75 percent. In connection with the acquisition of AAA, members of AAA's management and a director of the Company obtained ownership interests in AAA of 6.25 percent and 5.0 percent, respectively, on the same terms as the Company.  AAA is a North American distributor of fasteners sold to the aerospace markets. On October 3, 2001, the Company acquired substantially all the assets and business of J. F. McCaughin Co. (McCaughin) located in Rosemead, California for approximately $2,500. McCaughin is a formulator, manufacturer and distributor of waxes, supplies and equipment to the investment casting industry.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are presented as if the Argüeso acquisition had been made at the beginning of the periods presented.  The effects of the AAA and McCaughin acquisitions are not material and, accordingly, have been excluded from the pro forma presentation.

8.	Long-term Debt

On June 18, 2002, the Company entered into a Bank Credit Agreement to borrow up to $130,000 in either United States Dollars or certain European currencies.  Borrowings bear interest at either a) an overnight base rate equal to the higher of the prime rate of the agent bank or the federal funds rate plus .5 percentage points, b) a rate equal to the effective interbank rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00 to 1.50 percentage points based on the consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined, or c) at a rate and term negotiated between the agent bank and the Company, as applicable.  Borrowings outstanding under the 2002 Bank Credit Agreement at June 30, 2002 were $50,000 with an interest rate of 3.22 percent.  This agreement expires June 30, 2005.  The Company is required to pay a fee on unborrowed amounts of the facility ranging from .20 to .325 percentage points based on the consolidated Leverage Ratio.  In connection with this Bank Credit Agreement, the 1998 Bank Credit Agreement and the 2000 Bank Credit Agreement were terminated.

The Company is subject to a number of restrictive covenants under its various debt agreements.  Covenants associated with the Bank Credit Agreement are generally more restrictive than those of the Note Purchase Agreements.  The following significant covenants are currently in place under the Bank Credit Agreement:  maintenance of a consolidated debt-to-total capitalization (shareholders' equity plus total debt) ratio of not more than 50 percent, maintenance of a consolidated net worth of at least $282,148 plus 50 percent of consolidated net income for quarters ended after December 31, 2001 and maintenance of a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined, of not less than 1.25 to 1 for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters as measured at the end of each quarter.  Under the Note Purchase Agreements, restricted payments, which include all dividends and purchases or retirements of capital stock, made by the Company may not exceed $40,000 plus 50 percent of consolidated net income (or minus 100 percent of the consolidated net loss) from January 1, 1999 to the date of the restricted payment.  As of June 30, 2002, the amount of retained earnings available for future restricted payments is $93,000.  Certain of the Company's debt agreements contain cross default and cross acceleration provisions.  At June 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.  As of June 30, 2002, under the terms of the existing credit agreements, the Company is permitted to incur an additional $112,000 in debt.

9.	Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Contingency

The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party by various federal and state authorities for clean up or removal of waste from various disposal sites.  At June 30, 2002, the accrued liability for environmental remediation represents management's best estimate of the undiscounted costs related to environmental remediation which are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.  The Company has not included any insurance recovery in the accrued environmental liability. The measurement of the liability is evaluated quarterly based on currently available information.  Management believes the overall costs of environmental remediation will be incurred over an extended period of time.  As the scope of the Company's environmental liability becomes more clearly defined, it is possible that additional reserves may be necessary.  Accordingly, it is possible that the Company's results of operations in future quarterly or annual periods could be materially affected.  Management does not anticipate that its consolidated financial condition will be materially affected by environmental remediation costs in excess of amounts accrued.

Litigation

The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including commercial, environmental and employment matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business.  Although the final outcome of these matters cannot be determined, it is management's opinion that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



On April 29, 2002, in the case of Brookover v. Flexmag Industries, Inc., an Ohio Appeals Court affirmed a trial court judgment against one of the Company's subsidiaries, resulting from a workplace injury claim in 1997.  As a result, the Company recorded a pretax charge against first quarter 2002 earnings of $2,820 ($1,720 after tax or $0.13 per share). On June 17, 2002 the Company settled its portion of the claim for $2,150 ($1,328 after tax or $0.10 per share) resulting in a benefit to second quarter 2002 earnings of $670 ($392 after tax or $0.03 per share).

10.	Per Share Data
     Basic earnings per common share is calculated using the average shares of common stock outstanding, while diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised.  Earnings per share are computed as follows:

Options to purchase 438,788 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $45.60 per share were outstanding during 2002 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS in 2002 because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.  These options expire on various dates between December 17, 2007 and July 31, 2011.

12.	Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations."  This statement requires that obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs be recognized when they are incurred and displayed as liabilities.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.  The Company estimates that the impact of adopting this standard in the first quarter of 2003 will not be material.

In April 2002, SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" was issued.  This statement provides guidance on the classification of gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt and on the accounting for certain specified lease transactions.  The adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" was issued.  This statement provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with disposal activities and is effective for the Company on January 1, 2003.  The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 146 to determine the standard's impact upon adoption.

SPS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESItem 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction     The Company's operating earnings decreased compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.  The reduction in earnings is primarily due to lower revenues in three of Company's four segments compared to last year, particularly in those businesses that serve the aerospace, industrial gas turbine and electronics markets. In 2002, the company continued to execute various steps of the restructuring plans announced in 2001.

Net Sales and Orders

Net sales decreased $23.8 million, or 9.9 percent in the second quarter of 2002 and $54.9 million, or 11.5 percent, for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. Incoming orders for the second quarter of 2002 were $218.7 million compared to $250.2 million for the second quarter of 2001, a 12.6 percent decrease. Incoming orders for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $420.5 million compared to $508.9 million for the same period in 2001, a 17.4 percent decrease.

The Company's Aerospace Fasteners and Components segment sales decreased $11.8 million, or 13.2 percent, in the second quarter of 2002 and $24.4 million, or 13.6 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. This segment's incoming orders decreased $26.5 million, or 25.1 percent, in the second quarter of 2002 and $64.0 million, or 30.7 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. The Company is experiencing the impacts of a downturn in the commercial aerospace industry that was expected for 2002.  The Company had expected this downturn in the commercial aerospace industry due to reduced flight schedules announced by the major airlines and production cuts announced by major aircraft and jet engine manufacturers. The Company expects this trend of decreasing sales by the aerospace fastener and components segment to continue throughout 2002.

Sales of recently acquired businesses (M. Argüeso & Co., Inc. on April 5, 2001 and J.F. McCaughin Co. on October 3, 2001) increased Specialty Materials and Alloys segment sales for the six months of 2002 by $5.9 million compared to the first six months of 2001. Sales of a business sold in 2001 (Lake Erie Design Co., Inc. on December 31, 2001) reduced segment sales for the second quarter by $2.6 million and the six month period by $5.2 million compared to the same periods in 2001. Excluding the sales of these recently acquired and sold businesses, this segment's sales decreased $10.8 million, or 28.4 percent, in the second quarter of 2002 and $20.3 million, or 27.0 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. Excluding the orders of these recently acquired and sold businesses, this segment's incoming orders decreased $7.7 million, or 21.6 percent, in the second quarter of 2002 and $24.8 million, or 31.1 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. These lower sales and incoming orders are primarily the result of decreases in build rates at key aerospace and industrial gas turbine customers and lower raw material prices which are passed through to customers. In 2001, the Company announced plans to expand production capacity at its Cannon-Muskegon subsidiary.  In December 2001, the new furnace was delivered and the building expansion was started.  While the Company expects the furnace will be tested and qualified in 2002, production runs are not expected before December 31, 2002.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Company's Engineered Fasteners and Components segment sales increased $3.1 million, or 4.2 percent, in the second quarter of 2002 but decreased $1.2 million, or 0.8 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. This segment's incoming orders increased $2.7 million, or 3.7 percent, in the second quarter of 2002 and were essentially unchanged for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. In general, a majority of the industrial markets served by this segment continued to be weak during the first six months of 2002, however, sales of the Company's automotive components resulted in an increase in this segment's sales for the second quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2002 and fourth quarter of 2001. Sales have increased for automotive components that incorporate advanced manufacturing technology and were designed to reduce manufacturing costs for the Company's customers. The Company is encouraged by the increase in orders for automotive components and production increases announced by heavy truck manufacturers. The Company expects this segment's sales to improve as 2002 progresses.

The Magnetic Products segment sales decreased $2.0 million, or 6.5 percent, in the second quarter of 2002 and $9.8 million, or 14.8 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. The decreases in sales from the prior periods in 2001 are the result of lower demand from the automotive, general industrial and electronic markets. The Company is encouraged by the increase in incoming orders driven by higher orders for products manufactured by the Company's recently established facility in China. This segment's incoming orders increased $3.0 million, or 11.4 percent, in the second quarter of 2002 but were essentially unchanged for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001.

Operating Earnings

Operating earnings of the Company decreased $0.4 million, or 2.7 percent, in the second quarter of 2002 and $13.9 million, or 39.1 percent, for the six month period ended June 30, 2002. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on January 1, 2002. Due to adopting the new statement, the Company is no longer required to amortize goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life. In the first quarter of 2002, the Company increased its accrual for legal judgments by $2.8 million. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company settled a legal judgment against the Company for an amount less than originally provided. A benefit of $0.7 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2002 related to this settlement; resulting in a net expense of $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Additional information on the related litigation is provided below in the section entitled "Litigation". In connection with the restructure plans announced in 2002 and 2001, the Company has incurred charges to eliminate, consolidate and restructure certain operations, wind down losses of plants closed and other restructure related costs in 2002 and 2001.

Excluding the amortization of goodwill and other nonrecurring items noted above, operating earnings of the Company decreased from $25.9 million, or 10.8 percent of sales, for the second quarter of 2001 to $14.3 million, or 6.7 percent of sales for the second quarter of 2002. Operating earnings of the Company decreased from $49.8 million, or 10.4 percent of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $27.4 million, or 6.5 percent of sales for the six months of 2002. For the six month period, operating profit margins declined in all four of the Company's operating segments.  Operating earnings for the second quarter of 2002 did increase by $1.3 million from the first quarter of 2002 and $2.4 million from the fourth quarter of 2001. These increases from the prior two quarters are primarily attributable to the Engineered Fasteners and Components Segment.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Pro forma operating earnings of the Aerospace Fasteners and Components segment decreased $6.9 million, or 51.6 percent, in the second quarter of 2002 and $10.2 million, or 42.3 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in operating earnings is due to the lower volume of this segment's sales and operational difficulties at the Company's aerostructures manufacturing facilities in Europe. With the anticipated lower volume of sales expected for 2002 noted above, management will continue to focus on cost containment and productivity improvement opportunities to maintain reasonable operating profit margins at the Company's aerospace fastener manufacturing facilities. The aerospace structural components manufacturing operations of this segment have experienced operating losses of approximately $1.0 million for each quarter of 2002.  The Company is merging more of the management responsibilities for manufacturing and marketing efforts at the aerostructures manufacturing facilities with the aerospace fastener manufacturing operations to improve the operating performance of this business unit.

Pro forma operating earnings of the Specialty Materials and Alloys segment decreased $3.1 million, or 41.6 percent, in the second quarter of 2002 and $5.3 million, or 38.5 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Operating earnings as a percent of sales have declined from 16 percent of sales in 2001 to 13 percent of sales in 2002. The decrease in earnings and margins is due primarily to the decrease in sales discussed above and favorable margin realization in 2001 on raw materials.

Pro forma operating earnings of the Engineered Fasteners and Components segment decreased from $12.0 million, or 8.1 percent of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2001, to $7.4 million, or 5.1 percent of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Lower earnings are due primarily to the decrease in sales discussed above.  Operating earnings for the second quarter of 2002 of $4.6 million are an increase of $1.7 million from the first quarter of 2002 and $4.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2001. The improvement in earnings and margins from the prior two quarters is attributed to reduced employment costs as a result of the Company's restructuring programs and an increase in the sales of automotive components.

Pro forma operating earnings of the Magnetic Products segment decreased from $5.9 million, or 8.9 percent of sales, for the first six months of 2001 to $3.8 million, or 6.7 percent of sales, for the first six months of 2002.  This segment has been subject to decreasing sales, intense price competition and declining profit margins and profits. Part of the Company's strategy to reduce cost in this segment is to increase manufacturing activity in Asia. One plant is currently in operation in Asia and a second plant is currently being commissioned, the cost for which has negatively impacted margins in the first six months of 2002.

Summary of the Restructure Actions

As discussed in note 3 to the financial statements, the Company announced plans in 2001 to eliminate, consolidate and restructure certain under-performing operations. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded a pretax charge in the second quarter of 2001 of approximately $10.6 million ($7.0 million on an after-tax basis or $0.53 per share) and a pretax charge in the fourth quarter of 2001 of $10.0 million ($6.5 million on an after-tax basis or $0.49 per share) related to headcount reductions, costs to exit the facilities to be closed and writedowns of inventory and other assets associated with the affected product lines. The following table summarizes the balances and 2002 activity in the accrued restructure account:

|(In thousands)         | Accrual

In addition, the Company has incurred losses during the wind-down period at the facilities that were closed and has incurred start-up and training costs at those plants where product lines are being transferred. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company incurred $2.6 million ($1,7 million or $0.13 per share on an after-tax basis) for costs related to the restructure plan that were charged to the statement of consolidated operations as incurred.  These costs included $1.7 million for losses during the wind-down period, $0.6 million for costs to relocate equipment and $0.3 million for costs to start up production at plants where products have been transferred.

In the second quarter of 2002, the Company also announced plans to close two additional facilities in the Engineered Fasteners and Components segment (affecting 31 employees):  a marketing and distribution center in Singapore and a tool manufacturing facility in France. The Statement of Consolidated Operations for 2002 includes charges of $0.9 million ($0.7 million or $0.05 per share on an after-tax basis) classified as selling, general and administrative expense. As of June 30, 2002, employment has been reduced by 23 people due to these actions.  The components of the 2002 charge are approximately $0.4 million for employee separations, $0.3 million for asset writedowns and $0.2 million for other related costs.  Incurred costs related to these actions include $0.3 million for employee separations and $0.3 million for asset writedowns.  The June 30, 2002 Consolidate Balance Sheet includes an accrual of $0.3 million related to these actions.  As of June 30, 2002, the tool plant in France has been closed and the Company expects that the marketing and distribution center in Singapore will be closed by December 31, 2002.

The Company's 2001 restructuring plan included the elimination of five manufacturing facilities (affecting 500 employees) and the reduction of an additional 300 employees at its remaining facilities. As of June 30, 2002, the five manufacturing facilities have been closed and employment has been reduced by approximately 756 people due to the restructuring actions. The benefits of these actions include an expected decrease in the Company's employment cost structure at the businesses to be retained of approximately $11.0 million annually and an improvement in operating profit of approximately $8.1 million through the elimination of unprofitable facilities. The Company expects the remaining actions related to the Company's 2001 restructuring plans to be substantially completed by September 30, 2002.

In the Aerospace Fasteners and Components segment, the Company's facility in Las Vegas, Nevada was closed.  Certain production was relocated to existing facilities in Montreal, Canada and Nashville, Tennessee while other production was discontinued. As of June 30, 2002, the Company's Salt Lake City aerospace fastener plant has discontinued manufacturing operations and employment has been reduced to 9 employees, who are completing final closing tasks. Manufacturing equipment is being relocated to existing facilities in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, Santa Ana, California and Leicester, England. Also in 2002, employment levels in certain aerospace fastener and component plants are being reduced to reflect the forecasted reductions in production of commercial aircraft.

In the Specialty Materials and Alloys segment, the Company sold the Lake Erie Design (LED) business. LED, located in Wickliffe, Ohio, is a manufacturer of high precision ceramic cores for the investment casting industry.

In the Magnetic Products segment, the Company's hard ferrite manufacturing facility in Sevierville, Tennessee was closed and production of hard ferrite magnets were transferred to an Asian third party supplier. Additionally, employment levels in the Company's other magnetic product businesses have been reduced and certain operations supporting electronic equipment markets are being relocated to recently established Company facilities in China.

Litigation

The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including commercial, environmental and employment matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business.  Although the final outcome of these matters cannot be determined, it is management's opinion that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



On April 29, 2002, in the case of Brookover v. Flexmag Industries, Inc., an Ohio Appeals Court affirmed a trial court judgment against one of the Company's subsidiaries, resulting from a workplace injury claim at one of its magnetic products manufacturing plants in 1997.  As a result, the Company recorded a pretax charge against first quarter 2002 earnings of $2.8 million ($1.7 million after tax or $0.13 per share).  On June 17, 2002 the Company settled its portion of the claim for $2.1 million ($1.3 million after tax or $0.10 per share) resulting in a benefit to second quarter 2002 earnings of $0.7 million ($0.4 milllion after tax or $0.03 per share).

Other Income and Expense

Due to lower levels of debt, interest expense decreased from $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Backlog

The backlog of orders, which represent firm orders with delivery scheduled within 12 months, at June 30, 2002 was $293.8 million, compared to $337.2 million on June 30, 2001 and $299.1 million at December 31, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management considers liquidity to be cash and the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs and capital resources to be the resources from which such cash can be obtained. The Company believes that capital resources available to it will be sufficient to meet the needs of its business, both on a short-term and long-term basis. The Company's principal sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows from operations, management of working capital and borrowings under existing credit facilities. Cash flows from operations are impacted by changes in demand for the Company's products. Economic downturns, product and pricing competition and customer satisfaction and qualification issues all affect demand for the Company's products. Changes in the Company's ratio of debt to total capitalization could result in an increase in the cost to borrow funds under the Bank Credit Agreement described in note 8 to the financial statements. The cost and terms of any future financing arrangement depend on market conditions and the Company's financial position at that time

Cash flow provided or used by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities is summarized in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.  For the six months ended June 30, 2002, net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $3.7 million compared to the first six months of 2001.  This decrease in net cash provided by operations is due primarily to lower earnings ($8.8 million) with a lower add back for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization ($4.5 million) net of a decrease in cash used to fund working capital ($8.7 million).

The decrease in cash used in investing activities is due to cash payments in 2001 for acquisitions. Cash payments in 2001 for acquisitions were primarily for M. Argüeso & Co., Inc. ($9.0 million), and AAA Aircraft Supply Co., Inc. ($6.6 million).  The Company spent $13.6 million for capital expenditures in the first six months of 2002, which included approximately $3.5 million for the new furnace and building expansion project at Cannon-Muskegon.

The Company's total cash and cash equivalents was $59.3 million at June 30, 2002 and $59.9 million at December 31, 2001. Total debt was $255.9 million at June 30, 2002 and $263.2 million at December 31, 2001.  As of June 30, 2002, under the terms of its existing credit agreements, the Company is permitted to incur an additional $112.0 million in debt.  Additional information related to financing activities is provided in Note 8 to the financial statements. The Company's total debt to equity ratio was 70 percent at June 30, 2002, compared to 75 percent at December 31, 2001.

Critical Accounting Policies/Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those that involve subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates. The following areas all require the use of judgments and estimates:  the valuation of long-lived assets, deferred income taxes, pension and postretirement benefits, environmental and litigation accruals, cost of restructuring actions and inventories.  Estimates in each of these areas are based on historical experience and various assumptions that the Company believes are appropriate.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.  The company's accounting policies are discussed in more detail in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain "forward-looking" information, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risk and uncertainty.  Statements such as:  the Company's expectations that the trend of decreasing sales by the Aerospace Fastener and Components segment will continue throughout 2002, the new furnace at Cannon-Muskegon will be tested and qualified in 2002 and production runs will not occur before December 31, 2002, that the Engineered Fasteners and Components segment sales will improve as 2002 progresses, operating performance benefits of the 2001 restructuring plan, the restructure plan will result in the elimination of five manufacturing facilities (affecting 500 employees) and the reduction of an additional 300 employees at its remaining facilities, the restructure plan will decrease the Company's employment cost structure at the businesses to be retained by approximately $11.0 million annually and improve operating profit by approximately $8.1 million through the elimination of unprofitable facilities, the marketing and distribution center in Singapore will be closed by December 31, 2002, remaining actions related to the Company's 2001 restructuring plan will be completed by September 30, 2002, and capital resources available to the Company will be sufficient to meet the needs of its business on a short-term and long-term basis, are "forward-looking" statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.  Actual future results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, such as:  the effects of competition on products and pricing, customer satisfaction and qualification issues, labor disputes, terrorist activities, worldwide political and economic stability, successful execution of the restructuring plan on a timely basis and changes in fiscal policies, laws and regulations on a national and international basis.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any forward-looking information to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of this document.

SPS Technologies, Inc and Subsidiaries

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
     The Company's primary market risk exposures are foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risk.  Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the Company's results of operations and financial position.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company uses forward exchange contracts to minimize exposure and reduce risk from exchange rate fluctuations affecting the results of operations.  Because the largest portion of the Company's foreign operations are in countries with relatively stable currencies, namely, England, Ireland and Canada, the foreign currency exchange rate risk to the Company's financial position is not significant.  However, the Company has operations in Brazil, China and other foreign countries which increases its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.  Fluctuations in interest rates primarily affect the Company's results of operations.  Because a majority of the Company's debt is in fixed rate obligations (as disclosed in Note 10 to the financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001), the Company has effectively limited its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

A description of the Company's financial instruments is provided in Notes 1 and 19 to the financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.  Assuming an instantaneous 10 percent strengthening of the United States dollar versus foreign currencies and a 10 percent change in the interest rate on the Company's debt had all occurred on June 30, 2002, the Company's financial position would not have been materially affected.
