1. Organization and Basis of Interim Presentation

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 7, 2005, and commenced operations on June 17, 2005 through the acquisition of The Boeing Company’s (“Boeing”) operations in Wichita, Kansas, Tulsa, Oklahoma and McAlester, Oklahoma (the “Boeing Acquisition”). Holdings provides manufacturing and design expertise in a wide range of products and services for aircraft original equipment manufacturers and operators through its subsidiary, Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. (“Spirit”). Onex Corporation (“Onex”) of Toronto, Canada maintains majority voting power of Holdings. In April 2006, Holdings acquired the aerostructures division of BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (“BAE Aerostructures”), which builds structural components for Airbus, a division of the European Aeronautic Defense and Space NV (“Airbus”), Boeing and Hawker Beechcraft Corporation. Prior to this acquisition, Holdings sold essentially all of its production to Boeing. Since Spirit’s incorporation, the Company has expanded its customer base to include Sikorsky, Rolls-Royce, Gulfstream, Bombardier, Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation, Southwest Airlines, and Continental Airlines. The Company has its headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, with manufacturing facilities in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma; Prestwick, Scotland; Wichita, Kansas; and Subang, Malaysia, which produces composite panels for wing components. The Company expects to open another manufacturing facility in Kinston, North Carolina by mid-2010 that will initially produce components for the Airbus A350 XWB aircraft, and is building an assembly plant for the A350 XWB aircraft in Saint-Nazaire, France, which is also expected to be operational by mid-2010.

The Company is the majority participant in the Kansas Industrial Energy Supply Company (KIESC), a tenancy-in-common with other Wichita companies established to purchase natural gas.

The Company participates in two joint ventures, Spirit-Progresstech LLC (“Spirit-Progresstech”) and Taikoo Spirit AeroSystems Composite Co. Ltd. (“TSACCL”), of which Spirit’s ownership interest is 50.0% and 31.5%, respectively. Spirit-Progresstech provides aerospace engineering support services and TSACCL was formed to develop and implement a state-of-the-art composite and metal bond component repair station in the Asia-Pacific region.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s financial statements and the financial statements of its majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Investments in business entities in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally 20% to 50% ownership), including Spirit-Progresstech and TSACCL, are accounted for under the equity method. KIESC is fully consolidated as the Company owns 77.8% of the entity’s equity. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s U.K. subsidiary uses local currency, the British pound, as its functional currency. All other foreign subsidiaries use local currency as their functional currency with the exception of our Malaysian subsidiary, which uses the British pound, and our French subsidiary, which uses the U.S. dollar.

As part of the monthly consolidation process, the functional currencies of our international subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the end-of-month translation rate for balance sheet accounts and average period currency translation rates for revenue and income accounts.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended April 1, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements and notes to conform to the 2010 presentation. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 26, 2010.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASC) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855) — Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which stated, among other things, that filers with the SEC are not required to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. The guidance was effective upon issuance and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) — Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Instruments, which, among other things, expands disclosures on recurring fair value measurements, including activity, transfers and reconciliation of asset and liability classes, using Levels 1, 2 and 3 as defined. The guidance also clarifies existing disclosures on levels of disaggregation between such classes and input and valuation techniques used to measure recurring and nonrecurring Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance was effective for the Company’s first quarter reporting of 2010, except for the requirement related to purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward activity of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of FASB ASU 2010-06 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) — Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary — A Scope Clarification , which expands the disclosure requirements about deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets. The guidance in this update is effective for periods beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009 and thus is effective for the Company’s first quarter reporting in 2010. Adoption of FASB ASU 2010-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-17, Consolidation (Topic 810) — Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises with Variable Interest Entities to incorporate the changes made by FASB Statement No. 167 into the FASB Codification. The guidance in this update is effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and thus is effective for the Company’s first quarter reporting in 2010. Adoption of FASB ASU 2009-17 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other in-process inventory related to long-term contracts and other programs(5)		64.7		103.3

Total inventory	$	2,286.2	$	2,206.9


(1)		B747 inventory includes $16.6 and $11.3 in non-recurring production costs at April 1, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, related to the B747-8 program.

(2)		B787 inventory includes $228.3 and $230.7 in capitalized pre-production costs at April 1, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

(3)		Gulfstream inventory includes $219.2 and $210.3 in capitalized pre-production costs at April 1, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

(4)		Includes non-recurring costs incurred on the Cessna Citation Columbus program that was terminated in July 2009 and which are subject to our termination claim.

(5)		Includes non-program specific inventoriable cost accruals and miscellaneous other work-in-process.

Capitalized pre-production costs include certain costs, including applicable overhead, incurred before a product is manufactured on a recurring basis. These costs are typically recovered over a certain number of ship set deliveries and the Company believes these amounts will be fully recovered.

The following is a roll forward of the capitalized pre-production included in the inventory balance at April 1, 2010:


Balance, December 31, 2009	$	441.0
Charges to costs and expenses		(2.4	)
Capitalized costs		9.0
Exchange rate		—

Total capitalized pre-production, April 1, 2010	$	447.6

At April 1, 2010, work-in-process inventory included $538.7 of deferred production costs, which is comprised of $502.1 related to the B787, $46.7 on certain other contracts for the excess of production costs over the estimated average cost per ship set, and $(10.1) of credit balances for favorable variances on other contracts between actual costs incurred and the estimated average cost per ship set for units delivered under the current production blocks. These balances were $457.4, including $412.9 related to the B787 and $50.5 for certain other contracts, and $(6.0) of credit balances for favorable variances on other contracts between actual costs incurred and the estimated cost per ship set for units delivered under the current production blocks, respectively, at December 31, 2009. Recovery of excess over average deferred production costs is dependent on the number of ship sets ultimately sold and the ultimate selling prices and lower production costs associated with future production under these contract blocks. The Company believes these amounts will be fully recovered.

Sales significantly under estimates or costs significantly over estimates could result in the realization of losses on these contracts in future periods.

In January 2010, we revised our accounting estimate related to the useful lives of certain assets resulting in extending the useful lives of these assets. The effect of this change was a decrease in depreciation charges to inventory of $3.0 for the quarterly period ended April 1, 2010, which will eventually flow through cost of sales following the process for contract accounting .

Interest costs associated with construction-in-progress are capitalized until the assets are completed and ready for use. Capitalized interest was $2.6 and $1.8 for the three months ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recognized $20.6 and $20.3 of repair and maintenance expense for the three months ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively.

We capitalize certain costs, such as software coding, installation and testing, that are incurred to purchase or to create and implement internal use computer software in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance pertaining to capitalization of costs for internal use software. Depreciation expense related to capitalized software was $3.8 for each of the three month periods ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009.

7. Advance Payments and Deferred Revenue/Credits

Advance payments. Advance payments are those payments made to Spirit by third parties in contemplation of the future performance of services, receipt of goods, incurrence of expenditures, or for other assets to be provided by Spirit on a contract and are repayable if such obligation is not satisfied. The amount of advance payments to be recovered against units expected to be delivered within a year is classified as a short-term liability, with the balance of the unliquidated advance payments classified as a long-term liability.

Deferred revenue. Deferred revenue consists of nonrefundable amounts received in advance of revenue being earned for specific contractual deliverables. These payments are classified as deferred revenue when received and recognized as revenue as the production units are delivered.

Advance payments and deferred revenue/credits are summarized by platform as follows:


	April 1,		December 31,
	2010		2009

8. Government Grants

As part of our site construction projects in Kinston, North Carolina and Subang, Malaysia, we have the benefit of grants related to government funding of a portion of these buildings and other specific capital assets. Due to the terms of the lease agreements, we are deemed to own the construction projects. During the construction phase of the facilities, as amounts eligible under the terms of the grants are expended, we will record that spending as property, plant and equipment (construction-in-progress) and deferred grant income liability (less the present value of any future minimum lease payments). Upon completion of the facilities, the deferred grant income will be amortized as a reduction to production cost. This amortization is based on specific terms associated with the different grants. In North Carolina, the deferred grant income related to the capital investment criteria, which represents half of the grant, will be amortized over the lives of the assets purchased to satisfy the capital investment performance criteria. The other half of the deferred grant income will be amortized over a ten-year period in a manner consistent with the job performance criteria. In Malaysia, the deferred grant income will be amortized based on the lives of the eligible assets constructed with the grant funds as there are no performance criteria. As of April 1, 2010, we recorded $130.1 within property, plant and equipment and deferred grant income liability related to the use of grant funds in North Carolina and Malaysia. Of this amount, $129.1 in property, plant and equipment represents transactions where funds have been paid directly to contractors by an agency of the Malaysian Government in the case of Malaysia, and by the escrow agent in North Carolina, so they are not reflected on the Statement of Cash Flows.

9. Derivative and Hedging Activities

Effective as of the first quarter of 2009, we adopted FASB’s authoritative guidance on derivative and hedging disclosures, which expands the quarterly and annual disclosure requirements about our derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce its exposure to the variable rate portion of its long-term debt. The Company also enters into foreign currency hedge contracts to reduce the risks associated with the changes in foreign exchange rates on sales and cost of sales denominated in currencies other than the entities’ functional currency. Any gains or losses on the hedges are included in earnings when the underlying transaction that was hedged occurs. The Company does not use these contracts for speculative or trading purposes. On the inception date, the Company designates a derivative contract as either a fair value or cash flow hedge in accordance with FASB guidance on accounting for derivatives and hedges and links the contract to either a specific asset or liability on the balance sheet, or to forecasted commitments or transactions. The Company formally documents the hedging relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on a quarterly basis, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows.

Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments considered to be effective hedges are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. In the case of interest rate swaps, amounts are subsequently reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment of the hedged interest payments in the same period in which the related interest affects earnings. If the actual interest rate on the fixed rate portion of debt is less than LIBOR, the monies received are recorded as an offset to interest expense. Conversely, if the actual interest rate on the fixed rate portion of debt is greater than LIBOR, then the Company pays the difference, which is recorded to interest expense. Reclassifications of the amounts related to the foreign currency hedge contracts are recorded to earnings in the same period in which the underlying transaction occurs. Any change in the fair value resulting from ineffectiveness is immediately recognized in earnings.

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
($, €, £, and RM in millions other than per share amounts)

The Company also considers counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk in its determination of all estimated fair values. The Company has applied these valuation techniques for the three months ended April 1, 2010 and believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts it holds. The Company attempts to manage exposure to counterparty credit risk by only entering into agreements with major financial institutions which are expected to be able to fully perform under the terms of the agreement.

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item; the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; the derivative is no longer designated as a hedging instrument because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur; or management determines that the designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued, the Company continues to carry the derivative instrument on the balance sheet at its fair value with subsequent changes in fair value included in earnings, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in earnings.

To the extent that derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the changes in fair market value of the instruments are reported in the results of operations for the current period.

The Company enters into master netting arrangements for its derivatives to mitigate the credit risk of financial instruments.

The Company’s hedge agreements do not include provisions requiring collateral. The Company has certain derivative instruments covered by master netting arrangements whereby, in the event of a default as defined by the senior secured credit facility or termination event, the non-defaulting party has the right to offset any amounts payable against any obligation of the defaulting party under the same counterparty agreement.

The entire asset classes of the Company, including hedges, are pledged as collateral for both the term loan and the revolving credit facility under the Company’s senior secured credit facility (see Note 11).

Interest Rate Swaps

As required under our senior secured credit facility (see Note 11), we enter into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements periodically. As of April 1, 2010, the interest swap agreements had notional amounts totaling $500.0.


						Term B			Fair Value,
		Variable	Fixed			Fixed			April 1,
Notional Amount	Expires	Rate	Rate(1)			Rate(2)			2010
$100	July 2010	LIBOR		4.37	%		6.12	%	$	(2.0	)
$100	July 2011	LIBOR		4.27	%		6.02	%	$	(5.3	)
$300	July 2011	LIBOR		3.23	%		4.98	%	$	(11.4	)

						Total			$	(18.7	)


(1)		The fixed rate represents the rate at which interest is paid by the Company pursuant to the terms of its interest rate swap agreements.

(2)		The effective Term B fixed interest rate represents the fixed rate of the derivative instrument plus the 175 basis point margin above the variable LIBOR borrowing rate we pay on the Term B loan.

The purpose of entering into these swaps was to reduce the Company’s exposure to variable interest rates. The interest rate swaps settle on a quarterly basis when interest payments are made. These settlements occur through the maturity date. The interest rate swaps are being accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was a liability (unrealized loss) of $(18.7) and $(20.3) at April 1, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

Spirit’s wholly-owned subsidiary Spirit AeroSystems (Europe) Limited (“Spirit Europe”) has certain sales, expenses, assets and liabilities that are denominated in British pounds sterling. However, certain sales of Spirit Europe’s products and some procurement costs are denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros. As a consequence, movements in exchange rates could cause net sales and our expenses to fluctuate, affecting our profitability and cash flows. In addition, even when revenues and expenses are matched, we must translate British pound sterling denominated results of operations, assets and liabilities for our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars in our consolidated financial statements. Consequently, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to the British pound sterling will affect our reported results of operations and the value of our assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet, even if our results of operations or the value of those assets and liabilities has not changed in its original currency. These transactions could significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods and/or result in significant changes to the carrying value of our assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

We use foreign currency hedge contracts to reduce our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations. The objective of these contracts is to minimize the impact of currency exchange rate movements on our operating results. The hedges are being accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance. Gains and losses from these cash flow hedges are recorded to other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction for which the hedge was placed occurs and then the value in other comprehensive income is reclassified to earnings. In the third quarter of 2009, we entered into new hedging contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar revenue from certain customers. The fair value of the forward contracts was a net liability of $(4.3) and $(1.8) as of April 1, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The mark-to-market values of these net debt securities are recorded through the Consolidated Statement of Operations on a monthly basis in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance on investments — debt and equity securities disclosures.

The impact on earnings from foreign currency hedge contracts that do not qualify as cash flow hedges was not material for the three months ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009.

Gains and losses accumulated in OCI for interest rate swaps are reclassified into earnings as each interest rate period is reset. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that a loss of $(10.1) will be reclassified from OCI, net of tax, as a charge to earnings from interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps are placed for a period of time not to exceed the maturity of the Company’s senior secured term loan. None of the gains or losses reclassified to earnings were attributable to the discontinuance of cash flow hedges.

Gains and losses accumulated in OCI for foreign currency hedge contracts are reclassified into earnings as the underlying transactions for which the contracts were entered into are realized. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that a loss of $(1.8) will be reclassified from OCI, net of tax. None of the gains or losses reclassified to earnings are attributable to the discontinuance of cash flow hedges.

10. Fair Value Measurements

FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance discloses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

	Level 1		Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market.

	Level 2		Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Observable inputs, such as current and forward interest rates and foreign exchange rates, are used in determining the fair value of our interest rate swaps and foreign currency hedge contracts.

	Level 3		Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets and liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps and foreign currency hedge contracts are determined by using mark-to-market reports generated for each derivative and evaluated for counterparty risk. In the case of the interest rate swaps, the Company evaluated its counterparty risk using credit default swaps, historical default rates and credit spreads.

11. Debt

Credit Agreement

In connection with the Boeing Acquisition, the Company executed an $875.0 credit agreement that consisted of a $700.0 senior secured term loan used to fund the acquisition and pay all related fees and expenses associated with the acquisition and the credit agreement, and a $175.0 senior secured revolving credit facility. In March 2008, the revolving credit facility was increased to $650.0. In June 2009, the Company entered into amendment No. 2 to its senior secured credit facility, whereby borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility was increased from $650.0 to $729.0. The maturity date with respect to $408.8 of the revolver was extended to June 30, 2012. The maturity date for the remaining $320.2 of the revolver will continue to be June 30, 2010. Commitment fees associated with the portion of the revolver that was extended to June 30, 2012 increased from a rate of 50 basis points on the undrawn amount to 75 basis points. Commitment fees associated with the undrawn portion of the revolver that terminates on June 30, 2010 continue to be 50 basis points. The applicable margin payable on revolving loans with respect to which the underlying revolving credit commitment has been extended to June 30, 2012 (“Extending Revolving Loans”) has been increased. The applicable margin continues to be determined in accordance with a performance grid based on total leverage ratio and, for Extending Revolving Loans, ranges from 3.00% to 4.00% per annum in the case of LIBOR advances and from 2.00% to 3.00% per annum in the case of alternate base rate advances. The applicable margin payable with respect to loans that are Non-Extending Revolving Loans continues to range from 2.25% to 2.75% per annum in the case of LIBOR advances and from 1.25% to 1.75% per annum in the case of alternate base rate advances. At April 1, 2010, the Company’s total leverage ratio was 2.04:1.00 resulting in margins of 3.5% and 2.5% per annum on LIBOR borrowings on Extending Revolving Loans and Non-Extending Revolving Loans, respectively, and margins of 2.5% and 1.5% per annum on alternative base rate borrowings on Extending Revolving Loans and Non-Extending Revolving Loans, respectively. The entire asset classes of the Company, including inventory and property, plant and equipment, are pledged as collateral for both the term loan and the revolving credit facility. As of April 1, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the outstanding balance of the term loan was $570.6 and $572.0, respectively. No amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at either April 1, 2010 or December 31, 2009. As of April 1, 2010, there were $19.0 of letters of credit outstanding.

The amended credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, type of business, acquisitions, investments, sales or transfers of assets, payments of dividends, transactions with affiliates, change in control and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The amended credit agreement contains a revised Covenant Leverage Ratio and a new Interest Coverage Ratio. The Covenant Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) financial covenant was modified to provide that the maximum Covenant Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter through the final maturity date of the credit agreement shall not exceed 2.5:1 through maturity. The new Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) financial covenant was added to provide that the Interest Coverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter through the final maturity date of the credit agreement shall not be less than 4:1. The Financial Covenant ratios are calculated each quarter in accordance with the credit agreement. Failure to meet these financial covenants would be an event of default under the senior secured credit facility. As of April 1, 2010, we were and expect to continue to be in full compliance with all covenants contained within our credit agreement.

Long-Term Bond Debt

On September 30, 2009, Spirit issued $300.0 of 7 ¹ / 2 % Senior Notes due October 1, 2017 (the “Notes”), with interest payable semi-annually, in cash, in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning April 1, 2010. Prior to October 1, 2012, Spirit may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 107.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date. At any time prior to October 1, 2013, Spirit may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price ratio equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed,

plus a make-whole premium, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date. Spirit may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 1 of the years set forth below, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount to be redeemed) set forth below, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date.

2013		103.750	%
2014		101.875	%
2015 and thereafter		100.000	%

If a change of control of Spirit occurs, each holder of the Notes shall have the right to require that Spirit repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by Holdings and Spirit’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee Spirit’s obligations under Spirit’s senior secured credit facility. As of April 1, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the outstanding balance of the Notes was $293.7 and $293.6, respectively.

The Notes are Spirit’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of Spirit’s and the guarantors’ other existing and future senior indebtedness. The Notes are senior in right of payment to all of Spirit’s and the guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is by its terms expressly subordinated to the Notes and the guarantees. The Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of Spirit’s and the guarantors’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including obligations under Spirit’s senior secured credit facility, which is secured by substantially all of the assets of Spirit and the guarantors.

The Indenture contains covenants that limit Spirit’s, Holdings and certain of Spirit’s subsidiaries’ ability, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, to (i) incur additional debt; (ii) pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, (iii) repurchase equity securities, prepay subordinated debt or make certain investments, (iv) make other restricted payments and investments, (v) issue certain disqualified stock and preferred stock, (vi) create liens without granting equal and ratable liens to the holders of the Notes, (vii) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (viii) merge, consolidate or transfer or dispose of substantially all of their assets, (ix) enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates and (x) sell assets. These covenants are subject to a number of qualifications and limitations. In addition, the Indenture limits Spirit’s, Holdings’ and the guarantor subsidiaries’ ability to engage in businesses other than businesses in which such companies are engaged on the date of issuance of the Notes and related businesses.

In addition, the Indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among other things: failure to make payments on the Notes when due, failure to comply with covenants under the Indenture, failure to pay certain other indebtedness or acceleration of maturity of certain other indebtedness, failure to satisfy or discharge certain final judgments and occurrence of certain bankruptcy events. If an event of default occurs, the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, among other things, declare the entire outstanding balance of principal and interest on all outstanding Notes to be immediately due and payable. If an event of default involving certain bankruptcy events occurs, payment of principal and interest on the Notes will be accelerated without the necessity of notice or any other action on the part of any person.

At the time of the offering, Spirit repaid $200.0 of borrowings under its existing senior secured revolving credit facility using a portion of the proceeds of the offering of the Notes, which increased the availability under the revolving credit facility to $729.0, reduced by $19.0 of outstanding letters of credit as of April 1, 2010.

Malaysian Term Loan

On June 2, 2008, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Spirit AeroSystems Malaysia SDN BHD (“Spirit Malaysia”) entered into a Facility Agreement (“Malaysia Facility Agreement”) for a term loan facility of Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 69.2 (approximately USD $20.0) (the “Malaysia Facility”), with EXIM Bank to be used towards partial financing of plant and equipment (including the acquisition of production equipment), materials, inventory and administrative costs associated with the establishment of an aerospace-related composite component assembly plant, plus potential additional work packages in Malaysia at the Malaysia International Aerospace Center in Subang, Selangor, Malaysia (the “Project”). Funds for the Project will be available on a drawdown basis over a twenty-four month period from the date of the Malaysia Facility Agreement. Spirit Malaysia is scheduled to make periodic draws against the Malaysia Facility.

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.

($, €, £, and RM in millions other than per share amounts)

The indebtedness repayment requires quarterly principal installments of RM 3.3 (approximately $1.0) from September 2011 through May 2017, or until the entire loan principal has been repaid.

Outstanding amounts drawn under the Malaysia Facility are subject to a fixed interest rate of 3.5% per annum, payable quarterly.

France Factory

On July 17, 2009, the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Spirit AeroSystems France SARL (“Spirit France”) entered into a capital lease agreement for €9.0 (approximately $13.1), with BNP Paribas Bank (“BNP”) to be used towards the construction of an aerospace-related component assembly plant in Saint-Nazaire, France (the “Saint-Nazaire Project”). The Company will act as BNP’s construction agent during the construction phase of the Saint-Nazaire Project and lease payments will begin upon completion of construction, which is expected during the third quarter of 2010.

The capital lease repayment is variable based on the three-month Euribor rate plus 2.2% and is paid quarterly. Payments are expected to be approximately €0.2 (approximately $0.3) quarterly from July 2010 through April 2025 with a residual amount of €0.9 (approximately $1.3) to be paid at the conclusion of the capital lease agreement.

Outstanding amounts expended by BNP under the capital lease agreement are capitalized as construction-in-progress on the Company’s books with a corresponding amount of construction debt. As of the first quarter of 2010, the Company has recorded $9.7 in construction debt.

Total debt shown on the balance sheet is comprised of the following:

Employer Contributions

We expect to contribute zero dollars to the U.S. qualified pension plan and less than $0.3 to both the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and post-retirement medical plans in 2010. Our projected contributions to the U.K. pension plan for 2010 were $7.2, of which $1.8 was contributed by the end of the first quarter of 2010. We anticipate contributing the additional $5.4 to the U.K. pension plan during the remainder of 2010. The entire amount contributed and the projected contributions can vary based on exchange rate fluctuations.

13. Stock Compensation

The Company has established various stock compensation plans which include restricted share grants and stock purchase plans. Compensation values are based on the value of Holdings’ common stock at the grant date. The common stock value is added to equity and charged to period expense or included in inventory and cost of sales.

For the three months ended April 1, 2010, the Company recognized a total of $2.3 of stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, as compared to $2.8 of stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, recognized for the three months ended April 2, 2009. Of the total $2.3 of stock compensation expense recorded for the three months ended April 1, 2010, $2.2 was recorded as expense in selling, general and administrative expense while the remaining $0.1 was capitalized in inventory and is recognized through cost of sales consistent with the accounting methods we follow in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance related to revenue recognition for construction-type and production-type contracts. Of the $2.8 of stock compensation expense recorded for the three months ended April 2, 2009, $2.7 was recorded as expense in selling, general and administrative expense while the remaining $0.1 was capitalized in inventory in accordance with the guidance.

In the first quarter of 2010, 277,662 class A shares granted under the Short-Term Incentive Plan with a grant date fair value of $3.2 vested.

Due to the occurrence during the first quarter of 2010 of the four-year anniversaries of the Executive Incentive Plan grant dates for certain participants in the plan, those participants acquired an incremental 8.81% interest in the shares granted to them under the plan, such that their total cumulative interest in the shares granted to them would be 80%. The total number of additional shares in which an interest was acquired in the first quarter of 2010 was 32,412. The participants have a nonforfeitable interest in those shares; however, as per the plan document, the shares remain restricted until the earlier of a liquidity event or June 16, 2015. Participants do not have the unrestricted rights of stockholders as long as the shares remain restricted.

14. Income Taxes

The process for calculating our income tax expense involves estimating actual current taxes due plus assessing temporary differences arising from differing treatment for tax and accounting purposes that are recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are periodically evaluated to determine their recoverability. The total net deferred tax assets as of April 1, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $131.9 and $136.0, respectively.

We file income tax returns in all jurisdictions in which we operate. We established reserves to provide for additional income taxes that may be due in future years as these previously filed tax returns are audited. These reserves have been established based on management’s assessment as to the potential exposure attributable to permanent differences and associated interest. All tax reserves are analyzed quarterly and adjustments made as events occur that warrant modification.

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
($, €, £, and RM in millions other than per share amounts)

In general, the Company records income tax expense each quarter based on its best estimate as to the full year’s effective tax rate. Certain items, however, are given discrete period treatment and the tax effects for such items are therefore reported in the quarter that an event arises. Events or items that give rise to discrete recognition include finalizing amounts in income tax returns filed, finalizing audit examinations for open tax years, and expiration of a statute of limitations.

The 24.2% effective tax rate for the three months ended April 1, 2010 differs from the 32.5% effective tax rate for the same period in 2009 primarily due to settling the 2005 and 2006 Internal Revenue Service examination, partially offset by the U.S. Research and Experimentation Tax Credit (R&E Tax Credit) expiring on December 31, 2009.

The Company expects no material change in its recorded unrecognized tax benefit liability in the next 12 months. We are not currently under examination in any tax jurisdictions.

15. Equity

Earnings per Share Calculation

Basic earnings per share represents the income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the measurement period. Diluted earnings per share represents the income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the measurement period while also giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, holders of the Company’s outstanding common stock are entitled to any dividend declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for this purpose. No dividend may be declared on the class A or class B common stock unless at the same time an equal dividend is paid on every share of class A and class B common stock. Dividends paid in shares of the Company’s common stock must be paid, with respect to a particular class of common stock, in shares of that class. The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends on its common stock. In addition, the terms of the Company’s current financing agreements preclude it from paying any cash dividends on its common stock.

In June 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance determining whether instruments granted in shared-based payment transactions are participating securities. Under the FASB guidance, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats a participating security as having rights to undistributed earnings that would otherwise have been available to common shareholders. The Company’s service-based restricted stock awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are considered participating securities. Upon adoption of this standard, the service-based restricted stock awards were included in the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method for the three-month periods ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:


	For the Three Months Ended
	April 1, 2010						April 2, 2009
					Per Share						Per Share
	Income		Shares		Amount		Income		Shares		Amount
			(in millions)						(in millions)
Basic EPS
Income available to common shareholders	$	54.9		137.3	$	0.40	$	62.4		137.1	$	0.46
Income allocated to participating securities		0.6		1.5				0.3		0.7

Net income	$	55.5					$	62.7

Diluted potential common shares				1.6						2.1
Diluted EPS
Net Income	$	55.5		140.4	$	0.40	$	62.7		139.9	$	0.45

The balance of outstanding common shares presented in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity was 140.7 million and 140.2 million at April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively. Included in the outstanding common shares were 3.0 million of issued but unvested shares at April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, which are excluded from the basic EPS calculation.

16. Related Party Transactions

On March 26, 2007, Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. (“Hawker”), of which Onex Partners II LP (an affiliate of Onex) owns approximately a 49% interest, acquired Raytheon Aircraft Acquisition Company and substantially all of the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited. Spirit’s Prestwick facility provides wing components for the Hawker 800 Series manufactured by Hawker. For the three months ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, sales to Hawker were $1.2 and $4.3, respectively. Receivables due from Hawker were $2.8 as of April 1, 2010.

A member of the Holdings’ Board of Directors is also a member of the Board of Directors of Hawker.

Prior to his departure from the Company in December 2009, a former executive of the Company was a member of the Board of Directors of one of the Company’s suppliers, Precision Castparts Corp. of Portland, Oregon, a manufacturer of complex metal components and products. For the three months ended April 2, 2009 the Company purchased $13.5 of products, from this supplier.

A member of Holdings’ Board of Directors served as Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Aviall, Inc., the parent company of one of our customers, Aviall Services, Inc. and a wholly owned subsidiary of Boeing until his retirement in February 2010. On September 18, 2006, Spirit entered into a distribution agreement with Aviall Services, Inc. that extends until September 18, 2011 and automatically renews on an annual basis unless terminated by either party. Net revenues under the distribution agreement were $0.9 and $1.7 for the three months ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively. Receivables due from Aviall were $0.1 as of April 1, 2010.

The Company paid less than $0.1 to a subsidiary of Onex for services rendered for each of the three month periods ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009. Management believes the amounts charged were reasonable in relation to the services provided.

Boeing owns and operates significant information technology systems utilized by the Company and, as required under the acquisition agreement for the Boeing Acquisition, is providing those systems and support services to Spirit under a Transition Services Agreement. A number of services covered by the Transition Services Agreement have now been established by the Company, and the Company is scheduled to continue to use the remaining systems and support services it has not yet established. The Company incurred

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.

fees of $1.1 and $5.5 for services performed for the three months ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively. The amounts owed to Boeing and recorded as accrued liabilities were $1.3 and $11.0 at April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively.

The spouse of one of the Company’s executives is a special counsel at a law firm utilized by the Company and at which the executive was previously employed. The Company paid fees of $0.3 and $0.4 to the firm for the three month periods ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively.

An executive of the Company is a member of the Board of Directors of a Wichita, Kansas bank that provides banking services to Spirit. In connection with the banking services provided to Spirit, the Company pays fees consistent with commercial terms that would be available to unrelated third parties. Such fees are not material to Spirit.

17. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

Litigation

From time to time we are subject to, and are presently involved in, litigation or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering, among other things, the meritorious legal defenses available, it is the opinion of the Company that none of these items, when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s long-term financial position or liquidity. Consistent with the requirements of authoritative guidance on accounting for contingencies, we had no accruals at April 1, 2010 or December 31, 2009 for loss contingencies. However, an unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these items could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business and like others in the industry, we receive requests for information from government agencies in connection with their regulatory or investigational authority. Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist the government in audits or investigations. We review such requests and notices and take appropriate action. We have been subject to certain requests for information and investigations in the past and could be subject to such requests for information and investigations in the future. Additionally, we are subject to federal and state requirements for protection of the environment, including those for disposal of hazardous waste and remediation of contaminated sites. As a result, we are required to participate in certain government investigations regarding environmental remediation actions.

In December 2005, a lawsuit was filed against Spirit, Onex, and Boeing alleging age discrimination in the hiring of employees by Spirit when Boeing sold its Wichita commercial division to Onex. The complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Wichita, Kansas and seeks class-action status, an unspecified amount of compensatory damages and more than $1.5 billion in punitive damages. The Asset Purchase Agreement requires Spirit to indemnify Boeing for damages resulting from the employment decisions that were made by us with respect to former employees of Boeing Wichita, which relate or allegedly relate to the involvement of, or consultation with, employees of Boeing in such employment decisions. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter. Management believes the resolution of this matter will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In December 2005, a federal grand jury sitting in Topeka, Kansas issued subpoenas regarding the vapor degreasing equipment at our Wichita, Kansas facility. The government’s investigation appeared to focus on whether the degreasers were operating within permit parameters and whether chemical wastes from the degreasers were disposed of properly. The subpoenas covered a time period both before and after our purchase of the Wichita, Kansas facility. Subpoenas were issued to Boeing, Spirit and individuals who were employed by Boeing prior to the Boeing Acquisition, but are now employed by us. We responded to the subpoena and provided additional information to the government as requested. On March 25, 2008, the U.S. Attorney’s Office informed the Company that it was closing its criminal file on the investigation. A civil investigation into this matter is ongoing. Management believes the resolution of this matter will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On February 16, 2007, an action entitled Harkness et al. v. The Boeing Company et al. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. The defendants were served in early July 2007. The defendants include Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc., Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., the Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc. Retirement Plan for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Wichita Engineering Unit (SPEEA WEU) and Wichita Technical and Professional Unit (SPEEA WTPU) Employees, and the Spirit AeroSystems Retirement Plan for International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Employees, along with The Boeing Company and Boeing retirement and health plan entities. The named plaintiffs are twelve former Boeing employees, eight of whom were or are employees of Spirit. The plaintiffs assert several claims under the Employee Retirement Income and Securities Act and general contract law and brought the case as a class action on behalf of similarly situated individuals. The putative class consists of approximately 2,500 current or former employees of Spirit. The parties agreed to class certification and are currently in the discovery process. The sub-class members who have asserted claims

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
($, €, £, and RM in millions other than per share amounts)

against the Spirit entities are those individuals who, as of June 2005, were employed by Boeing in Wichita, Kansas, were participants in the Boeing pension plan, had at least 10 years of vesting service in the Boeing plan, were in jobs represented by a union, were between the ages of 49 and 55, and who went to work for Spirit on or about June 17, 2005. Although there are many claims in the suit, the plaintiffs’ claims against the Spirit entities, asserted under various theories, are (1) that the Spirit plans wrongfully failed to determine that certain plaintiffs are entitled to early retirement “bridging rights” to pension and retiree medical benefits that were allegedly triggered by their separation from employment by Boeing and (2) that the plaintiffs’ pension benefits were unlawfully transferred from Boeing to Spirit in that their claimed early retirement “bridging rights” are not being afforded these individuals as a result of their separation from Boeing, thereby decreasing their benefits. The plaintiffs seek a declaration that they are entitled to the early retirement pension benefits and retiree medical benefits, an injunction ordering that the defendants provide the benefits, damages pursuant to breach of contract claims and attorney fees. Boeing has notified Spirit that it believes it is entitled to indemnification from Spirit for any “indemnifiable damages” it may incur in the Harkness litigation, under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement between Boeing and Spirit. Spirit disputes Boeing’s position on indemnity. Management believes the resolution of this matter will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On July 21, 2005, the International Union, Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”) filed a grievance against Boeing on behalf of certain former Boeing employees in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma, regarding issues that parallel those asserted in Harkness et al. v. The Boeing Company et al. Boeing denied the grievance, and the UAW subsequently filed suit to compel arbitration, which the parties eventually agreed to pursue. The arbitration was conducted in January 2008. In July 2008, the arbitrator issued an opinion and award in favor of the UAW. The arbitrator directed Boeing to reinstate the seniority of the employees and “afford them the benefits appurtenant thereto.” On March 5, 2009, the arbitrator entered an Opinion and Supplemental Award that directed Boeing to award certain benefits to UAW members upon whose behalf the grievance was brought, notwithstanding the prior denial of such benefits by the Boeing Plan Administrator. On April 10, 2009, Boeing filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, seeking a ruling that the Arbitrator exceeded his authority in granting the Supplemental Award. On September 16, 2009, the District Court entered an order affirming the arbitrator’s Supplemental Award. Boeing appealed the District Court’s decision to the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which recently affirmed the District Court’s decision. Boeing previously notified Spirit of its intent to seek indemnification from Spirit for any “indemnifiable damages” it may incur in the UAW matter, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Spirit disputes Boeing’s position on indemnity. Management believes the resolution of this matter will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On May 11, 2009, Spirit filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas against SPS Technologies LLC (“SPS”), and Precision Castparts Corp. Spirit’s claims are based on the sale by SPS of certain non-conforming nut plate fasteners to Spirit between August 2007 and August 2008. Many of the fasteners were used on assemblies that Spirit sold to a customer. In the fall of 2008, Spirit discovered the non-conformity and notified the customer of the discrepancy. Subsequently, Spirit and the customer removed and replaced nut plates on various in-process aircraft assemblies. Spirit’s lawsuit seeks damages, including damages related to these efforts, under various theories, including breach of contract and breach of implied warranty.

Guarantees

Contingent liabilities in the form of letters of credit, letters of guarantee and performance bonds have been provided by the Company. These letters of credit reduce the amount of borrowings available under the revolving credit facility. As of April 1, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $19.0 and $16.9, respectively, were outstanding in respect of the letters of credit, and $17.1 and $16.1, respectively, were outstanding in respect of these guarantees.

Indemnification

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors, and some of its executive employment agreements include indemnification provisions. Under those agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify each of these individuals against claims arising out of events or occurrences related to that individual’s service as the Company’s agent or the agent of any of its subsidiaries to the fullest extent legally permitted.

Service and Product Warranties and Extraordinary Rework

The Company provides service and warranty policies on its products. Liability under service and warranty policies is based upon specific claims and a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience change. In addition, the Company incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance or quality issues.

18. Segment Information

The Company operates in three principal segments: Fuselage Systems, Propulsion Systems and Wing Systems. Substantially all revenues in the three principal segments are from Boeing, with the exception of Wing Systems, which includes revenues from Airbus and other customers. Approximately 96% of the Company’s net revenues for the three months ended April 1, 2010 came from our two largest customers, Boeing and Airbus. All other activities fall within the All Other segment, principally made up of sundry sales of miscellaneous services, tooling contracts, and sales of natural gas through a tenancy-in-common with other companies that have operations in Wichita. The Company’s primary profitability measure to review a segment’s operating performance is segment operating income before unallocated corporate selling, general and administrative expenses and unallocated research and development. Unallocated corporate selling, general and administrative expenses include centralized functions such as accounting, treasury and human resources that are not specifically related to our operating segments and are not allocated in measuring the operating segments’ profitability and performance and operating margins.

The Company’s Fuselage Systems segment includes development, production and marketing of forward, mid and rear fuselage sections and systems, primarily to aircraft OEMs (OEM refers to aircraft original equipment manufacturer), as well as related spares and maintenance, repairs and overhaul (MRO).

The Company’s Propulsion Systems segment includes development, production and marketing of struts/pylons, nacelles (including thrust reversers) and related engine structural components primarily to aircraft or engine OEMs, as well as related spares and MRO services.

The Company’s Wing Systems segment includes development, production and marketing of wings and wing components (including flight control surfaces) as well as other miscellaneous structural parts primarily to aircraft OEMs, as well as related spares and MRO services. These activities take place at the Company’s facilities in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma, Prestwick, Scotland and Subang, Malaysia.

The Company’s segments are consistent with the organization and responsibilities of management reporting to the chief operating decision-maker for the purpose of assessing performance. The Company’s definition of segment operating income differs from operating income as presented in its primary financial statements and a reconciliation of the segment and consolidated results is provided in the table set forth below. Most selling, general and administrative expenses, and all interest expense or income, related financing costs and income tax amounts, are not allocated to the operating segments.

While some working capital accounts are maintained on a segment basis, much of the Company’s assets are not managed or maintained on a segment basis. Property, plant and equipment, including tooling, is used in the design and production of products for each of the segments and, therefore, is not allocated to any individual segment. In addition, cash, prepaid expenses, other assets and deferred taxes are managed and maintained on a consolidated basis and generally do not pertain to any particular segment. Raw materials and certain component parts are used in the production of aerostructures across all segments. Work-in-process inventory is identifiable by segment, but is managed and evaluated at the program level. As there is no segmentation of the Company’s productive assets, depreciation expense (included in fixed manufacturing costs and selling, general and administrative expenses) and capital expenditures, no allocation of these amounts has been made solely for purposes of segment disclosure requirements.

19. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

On September 30, 2009, Spirit completed an offering of $300.0 aggregate principal amount of its 7 ¹ / 2 % Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Original Notes”). The Original Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States only to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. In connection with the sale of the Original Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the initial purchasers of the Original Notes party thereto, pursuant to which the Company, Spirit and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) agreed to file a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) the Original Notes for a new issue of substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Notes”, and together with the Original Notes, the “Notes”). On March 29, 2010, Spirit and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) filed Amendment No. 2 to a registration statement on Form S-4 (as so amended, the “Registration Statement”) with respect to the Exchange Offer and on April 20, 2010, the SEC declared the Registration Statement effective. The Exchange Offer was commenced on April 21, 2010. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by the Company and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”).

The following condensed consolidating financial information, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements for presentation of Rule 3-10(d) of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act, presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:

(i)

Spirit, as the subsidiary issuer of the Notes;

(ii)

The Subsidiary Guarantors, on a combined basis, as guarantors of the Notes;

(iii)

The Company’s subsidiaries, other than the Subsidiary Guarantors, which will not be guarantors of the Notes (the “Subsidiary Non-Guarantors”), on a combined basis;

(iv)

Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors, (b) eliminate the investments in the Company’s subsidiaries and (c) record consolidating entries; and

(v)

Holdings and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

The Company, which is a guarantor of the Notes, is excluded from the tables below as it has no assets or operations independent from its subsidiaries.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The following section may include “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “project,” “continue,” “plan,” “forecast,” or other similar words. These statements reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, including, but not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 26, 2010. See “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

Recent Events

On March 23, 2010, the President of the United States signed into law comprehensive health care reform legislation under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) (HR 3590), as amended by the Health Care Education and Affordability Reconciliation Act (HR 4872) (the Acts). In the near term (fiscal years 2010 through 2013), the provisions contained within the Acts will have minimal impact on the Company benefit programs. A provision in the PPACA repeals the current rule permitting deduction of the portion of the drug coverage expense that is offset by the Medicare Part D subsidy, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012. The Company does not provide retiree drug coverage to Medicare eligible retirees and therefore is not impacted by this provision. The Company will continue to assess the accounting implications and analyze the potential impact of the Acts on the Company benefit programs as related regulations and interpretations of the Acts become available.

On March 23, 2010, the Company began contract negotiations with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM). The IAM represents about 5,600 of Spirit’s 10,500 employees in Wichita. The current contract expires on June 25, 2010.

On March 19, 2010, Boeing announced that it will increase planned production rates for both the B777 and B747 programs. The production rate increases will support increasing customer demand. Boeing expects to increase the B777 program’s production rate to seven airplanes per month by mid-2011 and expects to increase the B747 program’s production rate to two airplanes per month by mid-2012. The current production rate decisions are not expected to have a material impact on our 2010 financial results.

On February 12, 2010, the Company announced that Philip Anderson was appointed Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Spirit Holdings. On February 12, 2010, Spirit also entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Anderson.

On February 8, 2010, Boeing completed the first flight of the B747-8.

Overview

We are the largest independent non-OEM (original equipment manufacturer) aircraft parts designer and manufacturer of commercial aerostructures in the world, based on annual revenues, as well as the largest independent supplier of aerostructures to Boeing. In addition, we are one of the largest independent suppliers of aerostructures to Airbus. Boeing and Airbus are the two largest aircraft OEMs in the world. Aerostructures are structural components, such as fuselages, propulsion systems and wing systems for commercial and military aircraft. For the three months ended April 1, 2010, we generated net revenues of $1,043.3 million and net income of $55.5 million.

We are organized into three principal reporting segments: (1) Fuselage Systems, which includes forward, mid and rear fuselage sections, (2) Propulsion Systems, which includes nacelles, struts/pylons and engine structural components, and (3) Wing Systems, which includes wings, wing components, flight control surfaces and other miscellaneous structural parts. This segment manufactures products at our facilities in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma, Prestwick, Scotland and Subang, Malaysia. All other activities fall within the All Other segment, principally made up of sundry sales of miscellaneous services, tooling contracts, and sales of natural gas through a tenancy-in-common with other companies that have operations in Wichita. Fuselage Systems, Propulsion Systems, Wing Systems and All Other represented approximately 50%, 26%, 24% and less than 1%, respectively, of our net revenues for the three months ended April 1, 2010.

New Program Performance

As described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K, we are currently performing work on several new programs, which are in various stages of development. Several of these programs entered flight testing during the fourth quarter of 2009, including the Boeing B787, Gulfstream G250, and Gulfstream G650 (which includes the Rolls Royce BR725) and we expect to deliver revenue-generating production units for all of these programs in 2010. In addition, we are working on the new Boeing 747 derivative (the 747-8), which entered flight testing in February of 2010.

Certain of these programs continue to pose a risk of additional charges and/or forward loss charges given the low margins that are currently forecasted and cost pressure that has continued through the first quarter of 2010. During the first quarter we recorded a $5.2 million unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment on our Sikorsky CH-53K contract because of additional costs to support Critical Design Review, which is a significant milestone in the development process. Our estimated margin on the Rolls-Royce BR725 contract continues to be zero and no additional forward losses were recorded on our G250 wing or tooling contracts during the first quarter of 2010. The future profitability of our B787 contract continues to depend on successfully negotiating expected recovery values on the significant claims we have submitted to Boeing. We have the legal right under our B787 contract to negotiate pricing for customer directed changes. If we do not recover the expected values associated with these claims, it could result in the recognition of a forward loss on our B787 contract.

The next twelve months will be a critical time for these programs as we manufacture the initial units and establish baseline performance for the recurring cost structure. If we are not able to achieve anticipated productivity and cost improvements, or if external factors such as market demand trend unfavorably, additional charges, including forward loss reserves, may be recorded in future periods.

2010 Outlook

We expect the following results, or ranges of results, for the year ending December 31, 2010:


	2010 Outlook	2009 Actuals
Revenues	$4.0-$4.2 billion	$4.1 billion
Earnings per share, fully diluted	$1.50-$1.70 per share	$1.37 per share
Effective tax rate	~27%	29.7%
Cash flow from operations	~$75 million	$(14) million
Capital expenditures	~$325 million	$228 million
Customer reimbursement	n/a	$115 million

Our 2010 outlook is based on the following market assumptions:

•

We expect our 2010 revenues to be between $4.0 and $4.2 billion based on Boeing’s 2010 delivery guidance of 460-465 aircraft; anticipated B787 deliveries; expected Airbus deliveries in 2010 of approximately 480-490 aircraft; internal Spirit forecasts for non-OEM production activity and other customers; and foreign exchange rates consistent with fourth quarter 2009 levels.

•

We expect our 2010 fully diluted earnings per share to be between $1.50 and $1.70 per share.

•

We expect our effective tax rate to be 27% for 2010. This assumes ~2.5% tax benefit attributable to extending the R&E Tax Credit.

•

We expect our 2010 cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures, to be approximately a $(250) million use of cash in the aggregate, with capital expenditures of approximately $325 million. Anticipated capital expenditures in 2010 include approximately $100 million of tooling associated with the Airbus A350 XWB program. Cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures, is expected to be significantly improved in 2011.

•

Risk to our financial guidance include, among other things: reduced demand for our core products; higher than forecasted nonrecurring and recurring costs on our development programs; mid-range business jet market risks; our ability to achieve anticipated productivity and cost improvements; the ability to resolve significant B787 program claims with Boeing; and the outcome of ongoing labor negotiations.

For purposes of measuring production or ship set deliveries for Boeing aircraft in a given period, the term “ship set” refers to sets of structural fuselage components produced or delivered for one aircraft in such period. For purposes of measuring production or ship set deliveries for Airbus aircraft in a given period, the term “ship set” refers to all structural aircraft components produced or delivered for one aircraft in such period. Other components which are part of the same aircraft ship sets could be produced or shipped in earlier or later accounting periods than the components used to measure production or ship set deliveries, which may result in slight variations in production or delivery quantities of the various ship set components in any given period.

Three Months Ended April 1, 2010 as Compared to Three Months Ended April 2, 2009

Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended April 1, 2010 were $1,043.3 million, an increase of $155.9 million, or 18%, compared with net revenues of $887.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in ship set deliveries in 2010 for the Boeing B737 as compared to 2009 as the lingering effects of the IAM strike at Boeing impacted first quarter 2009 deliveries. In the first quarter of 2009 we recorded $18.2 million in favorable volume-based pricing adjustments as a result of lower deliveries due to the Machinists’ strike at Boeing. Deliveries of B787 ship sets also increased by three units in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. As compared to the first quarter of 2009, the strengthening dollar resulted in a $8.8 million increase in the value of net revenues from Spirit Europe. Total deliveries to Boeing increased by 22% to 126 ship sets during the first quarter of 2010 compared to 103 ship sets delivered for the same period in the prior year. In total, in the first three months of 2010, we delivered 259 ship sets compared to 252 ship sets delivered for the same period in the prior year, a 3% increase primarily attributable to increased Boeing deliveries, partially offset by reduced deliveries of Hawker ship sets which are not a significant source of revenue. Approximately 96% of Spirit’s net revenue for the first three months of 2010 came from our two largest customers, Boeing and Airbus.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues was 86% for the three month period ended April 1, 2010 as compared to 83% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in 2010 is primarily due to lower profitability on follow-on production blocks that began in the fourth quarter of 2009 as well as the impact of the volume-based pricing adjustments recorded in the first quarter of 2009. During the first three months of 2010, Spirit updated its contract profitability estimates resulting in an unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment of $8.2 million driven by a $5.2 million charge on our Hawker Beechcraft 850XP contract related to the decision to exit the program and a $5.2 million unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment on our Sikorsky CH-53K contract associated with achieving Critical Design Review, which is a significant milestone in the development process, partially offset by favorable cost performance on other programs. A $2.7 million unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment was recognized during the first quarter of 2009.

In January 2010, we revised our accounting estimate related to the useful lives of certain assets resulting in extending the useful lives of these assets. The effect of this change was a decrease in depreciation charges of $3.0 million to inventory for the quarterly period ended April 1, 2010, which will eventually flow through cost of sales following the process for contract accounting .

Selling, General and Administrative. SG&A as a percentage of net revenues were 4% of net revenue for each of the three month periods ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009.

Research and Development. R&D costs as a percentage of net revenues were approximately 1% for the three month period ended April 1, 2010 compared to approximately 2% for the same period in the prior year. We spent $4 million less on research and development in the first quarter of 2010 than in the same period of 2009 primarily due to completion of certain A350 related R&D in 2009.

Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended April 1, 2010 was $93.0 million, a decrease of $4.8 million, or 5%, compared to operating income of $97.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Although revenues increased year over year, the reduced profitability on follow-on production blocks, volume-based pricing adjustments in 2009, and a higher unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2010 described above combined to result in lower operating income as compared to the first quarter of 2009.

Interest Expense and Financing Fee Amortization. Interest expense and financing fee amortization for the first three months of 2010 includes $12.1 million of interest and fees paid or accrued in connection with long-term debt and $1.9 million in amortization of deferred financing costs, as compared to $7.9 million of interest and fees paid or accrued in connection with long-term debt and $1.2 million in amortization of deferred financing costs for the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest expense associated with long-term debt in the first quarter of 2010 was primarily driven by interest related to the senior unsecured bonds that were issued in the third quarter of 2009, partially offset by lower LIBOR rates on the floating portion of our Term B loan. The increase in deferred financing costs related to the issuance of our senior unsecured bonds has resulted in increased financing fee amortization.

Interest Income. Interest income for the first three months of 2010 was $0.1 million, as compared to $2.6 million for the same period in the prior year which included $2.5 million of accretion from the discounted long-term receivable from Boeing for capital expense reimbursement pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of Boeing’s operations in Wichita, Kansas, Tulsa, Oklahoma and McAlester, Oklahoma (the “Boeing Acquisition”). The last of these payments for capital reimbursement was made by Boeing to the Company in 2009.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) for the first three months of 2010 included an expense of $(8.1) million due to changes in foreign exchange rates on intercompany activity and borrowings, as compared to $0.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by the intercompany payable related to our A350 program between Prestwick and Wichita as well as trade payables and borrowings. Should these balances increase, they will be more susceptible to changes in exchange rates.

Provision for Income Taxes. The income tax provision for the first quarter of 2010 consisted of $19.1 million for federal income taxes and $(0.5) million for state taxes and $(0.8) million for foreign taxes. The 24.2% effective tax rate for the three months ended April 1, 2010 differs from the 32.5% effective tax rate for the same period in 2009 primarily due to settling the 2005 and 2006 Internal Revenue Service examination, partially offset by the R&E Tax Credit expiring on December 31, 2009.

Segments. The following table shows comparable segment operating income before unallocated corporate expenses for the three months ended April 1, 2010 compared to the three months ended April 2, 2009:

Total operating income	$	93.0		$	97.8

Fuselage Systems, Propulsion Systems, Wing Systems and All Other represented approximately 50%, 26%, 24% and less than 1% respectively, of our net revenues for the three months ended April 1, 2010. Net revenues attributable to Airbus are recorded in the Wing Systems segment. Fuselage Systems, Propulsion Systems, Wing Systems and All Other represented approximately 59%, 26%, 14% and 1%, respectively, of our segment operating income before unallocated corporate expenses for the three months ended April 1, 2010.

Fuselage Systems. Fuselage Systems segment net revenues for the first quarter of 2010 were $516.2 million, an increase of $85.7 million, or 20%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This reflects an increase in deliveries for the B737 and B787 programs as compared to the same period in the prior year. Fuselage Systems posted segment operating margins of 15% for the first three months of 2010, down from 17% in the same period of 2009, due to lower overall margins on follow-on production blocks,

volume-based pricing adjustments due to lower volume in 2009 and an unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment of $4.6 million primarily related to a $5.2 million unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment on our Sikorsky CH-53K contract to meet Critical Design Review in 2010, as compared with an unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment of $1.5 million in the same period in 2009.

Propulsion Systems . Propulsion Systems segment net revenues for the first three months of 2010 were $274.4 million, an increase of $47.0 million, or 21%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This reflects an increase in deliveries for the B737 and B787 programs as compared to the same period in the prior year. Propulsion Systems posted segment operating margins of 12% for the first three months of 2010 as compared to 17% for the same period of 2009, due to lower overall margins on follow-on production blocks and volume-based pricing adjustments due to lower volume in 2009 which were partially offset by having no cumulative catch-up adjustments in the first quarter of 2010 as compared with an unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment of $2.8 million in the same period in 2009.

Wing Systems. Wing Systems segment net revenues for the first three months of 2010 were $248.9 million, an increase of $28.0 million, or 13%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This reflects an increase in deliveries for the B737 and B787 programs and increased revenues related to engineering and development work on our new programs. Wing Systems posted segment operating margins of 8% for the first three months of 2010, compared to 9% in the same period of 2009, due to lower margins on follow-on production blocks and volume based pricing adjustments due to lower volume in 2009 which were partially offset by a smaller unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment of $3.6 million realized during the first quarter of 2010 as compared to an unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment of $4.0 million realized during the first quarter of 2009. The unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment in the first quarter of 2010 was primarily a result of the decision to exit the Hawker Beechcraft 850XP contract which resulted in a $5.2 million unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment.

All Other. All Other net revenues consist of sundry sales and miscellaneous services, and revenues from the Kansas Industrial Energy Supply Company, or KIESC. All Other segment net revenues for the first three months of 2010 were $3.8 million, a decrease of $4.8 million, or 56%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net revenues in the first three months of 2010, compared to the first three months of 2009, was driven primarily by a decrease in third party tooling sales. The All Other segment recorded operating margins of 8% for the first three months of 2010, compared to 5% in the same period of 2009.

Cash Flow

Three Months Ended April 1, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended April 2, 2009

Operating Activities. For the three months ended April 1, 2010, we had a net cash outflow of $110.2 million from operating activities, an improvement of $38.9 million, compared to a net cash outflow of $149.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The improvement in cash used in operations in 2010 was primarily due to favorable changes in working capital as compared with the first quarter of 2009. This improvement was the result of the slowing of new program inventory growth and favorable accounts receivable performance in the first quarter of 2010. The improvement was offset by an unfavorable change in accounts payable between years due to a one-time $134.2 million benefit in the first quarter of 2009 caused primarily by a change in our accounts payable systems and payment terms which was not repeated in 2010. Our overall trend of inventory growth is driven primarily by our contractually required investments in new programs which include the Boeing B787, Gulfstream G250 and G650, Airbus A350 XWB, Sikorsky CH-53K and Rolls Royce BR725 programs. The contracts for these new programs accounted for an increase in inventory in the first quarter of 2010 of $114.2 million as compared to $131.1 million in the first quarter of 2009. We expect these programs will continue to drive inventory growth in 2010 as we incur additional up-front costs and produce initial units, which traditionally have a higher cost. The remaining Boeing and Airbus programs contributed only $13.9 million to the increase in inventory in the first quarter of 2010 as compared with $93.0 million for these contracts in the same period of 2009. In the first quarter of 2010, inventory balances decreased $48.8 million on remaining programs, including non-program specific inventory, as compared to an increase in inventory balances of $12.3 million for the same period in the prior year.

As a component of the increase in inventory, the amount related to the B787 program increased by $45.7 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to an increase of $33.6 million in the first quarter of 2009. Deferred production balances increased by $89.2 million in 2010 compared to $61.5 million in 2009 as a result of delivery of five B787 ship sets in 2010 as compared to three in 2009 and the decreasing manufacturing cost per unit. Deferred production costs represent the deferral of excess-over-average costs over the production block. The revenue we recognized upon delivery of B787 ship sets in both the first quarter of 2010 and 2009 did not result in cash receipts, resulting instead in the liquidation of customer advances. This will continue until cash payments for the B787 units resume, prior to the delivery of the 50th unit. Additionally, increases in inventory related to the B787 will continue to consume incremental amounts of cash until the cost to build a ship set falls below the ship set price recognized at delivery.

Investing Activities. For the three months ended April 1, 2010, we had a net cash outflow of $70.0 million from investing activities, an increase of $44.7 million, as compared to a net cash outflow of $25.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The primary

driver in the increased use of cash between periods was the final payment of the long-term receivable from Boeing in December 2009, which resulted in a cash benefit of $28.8 million in the first quarter of 2009 with no corresponding benefit in the first quarter of 2010. During the first three months of 2010, we invested $69.2 million in property, plant and equipment, software and program tooling, which was $14.8 million higher than during the same period in the prior year, as we continue to invest in the set-up of our facility in North Carolina.

Financing Activities. For the three months ended April 1, 2010, we had a net cash outflow of $2.0 million from financing activities, a decrease of $75.6 million, compared to a net cash inflow of $73.6 million for the same period in the prior year. During the first three months of 2010, we had no activity on our revolving credit facility as compared with a net amount of $75 million borrowed in the first quarter of 2009. Principal debt payments were comparable year-over-year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity, or access to cash, is an important factor in determining our financial stability. The primary sources of our liquidity include cash from operations, which may include advance payments and payments from customers, as well as governmental grants, borrowing capacity through our credit facilities and proceeds of our bond issuance. Our liquidity requirements and working capital needs depend on a number of factors, including delivery rates and payment terms under our contracts, the level of research and development expenditures related to new programs, capital expenditures, growth and contractions in the business cycle, contributions to our union-sponsored benefit plans and interest and debt payments. During the quarter ended April 1, 2010, we had a net cash outflow of $110.2 million from operating activities.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, or to pay the interest on, or to refinance, our indebtedness, or to fund non-acquisition related capital expenditures and research and development efforts, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This is subject, in part, to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Based on our current levels of operations and absent any disruptive events, including, but not limited to unplanned nonrecurring costs, management believes that internally generated funds, advance payments and payments from customers, government grants and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility should provide sufficient resources to finance our operations, non-acquisition related capital expenditures, research and development efforts and long-term indebtedness obligations for at least the next twelve months. We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowing will be available to us under our credit facilities in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. Also, to the extent we accelerate our growth plans, consummate acquisitions or have lower than anticipated sales or increases in expenses, we may need to raise additional capital. In particular, increased working capital needs occur whenever we consummate acquisitions, invest in new product development or experience increased demand for our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

We ended the first quarter of 2010 with cash and cash equivalents of $186.6 million, a decrease of $182.4 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $369.0 million at December 31, 2009. We maintain bank accounts with highly rated financial institutions and our cash investments have had no direct exposure to any sub-prime asset classes.

In connection with the Boeing Acquisition, the Company executed a credit agreement that consisted of a senior secured term loan used to fund the acquisition and pay all related fees and expenses associated with the acquisition and the credit agreement, and a senior secured revolving credit facility. As of April 1, 2010, the outstanding balance of the term loan was $570.6 million. Our revolving credit facility is a significant source of liquidity for our business. The current facility has a borrowing capacity of $729.0 million, of which $320.2 million has a maturity date of June 30, 2010. The maturity date with respect to the remaining $408.8 million of the revolver is June 30, 2012. As of April 1, 2010, Spirit had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of April 1, 2010, there were $19.0 million of letters of credit outstanding. The entire asset classes of Spirit, including inventory and property, plant and equipment, are pledged as collateral for both the term loan and the revolving credit facility. As of April 1, 2010, we were and expect to continue to be in full compliance with all covenants contained within our credit agreement.

On September 30, 2009, Spirit issued $300.0 million of its 7 1/2% Senior Notes due October 1, 2017 (the “Notes”), with interest payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning April 1, 2010. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and Spirit’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee Spirit’s obligations under Spirit’s senior secured credit facility. The carrying value of the Notes was $293.7 million as of April 1, 2010.

We may pursue strategic acquisitions on an opportunistic basis. Our acquisition strategy may require substantial capital, and we may not be able to raise any necessary funds on acceptable terms or at all. If we incur additional debt to finance acquisitions, our total interest expense will increase.

We believe that the lenders participating in our credit facility will be willing and able to provide financing to us in accordance with their legal obligations under the credit facility. However, there can be no assurance that the cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, in the debt markets or our credit facility will not be impacted by the ongoing credit market disruptions.

We currently have manufacturing capacity to produce ship sets at the rates we have committed to our customers. We have additional capacity on some of our products, but our capacity utilization on the fuselages for the B737 is at close to 95% at our current production rate. This capacity utilization rate is based on five days per week, three shifts per day operations. Our supply agreements typically have maximum production rates. If a customer requests that we increase production rates above these stated maximum levels, additional negotiation would be required to determine whether we or our customer would bear the cost of any capital expenditures, tooling and non-recurring engineering required as a result of such production rate increases.

Our corporate credit ratings at Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investor Service as of April 1, 2010 were unchanged at BB and Ba3, respectively.

Our U.S. pension plan remained fully funded at April 1, 2010. Our plan investments are broadly diversified and we do not anticipate a near-term requirement to make cash contributions to our U.S. pension plan.

The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value because of their short maturities.
