21 Product Innovation - Blind Bolt Opportunities Vertical Tail Plane Flap Tracks Horizontal Tail Plane Nacelles Rudders • Develop OEM customer specific applications for new products • Partner with customers and automation Typical Blind Bolt Applications Category Market Size Our Market Share Market Trend Blind Bolts (Threaded & Pull Type) $200 million 32% companies to reduce costs and maintain delivery schedules • Complete proprietary fastener development • Products include: — Composi-Lok®3 - eliminates secondary shaving task — Composi-Lite™ - reduces aircraft weight — SuperFlush™ - cosmetic/aesthetic recess-free design for fuselage join — OSI-Bolt® - can replace 95 KSI pin and collar systems (one-sided installation) — Radial-Lok® - unique radial expansion fastener for fatigue improvement and lightning strike resistance — Visu-Lok® - for metal aircraft structures You will find our 95 KSI OSI-Bolt where access for pin and collar type fasteners is compromised

22 Product Innovation - Collar Opportunities • The Arizona facility was recently qualified to produce Titanium swage collars used on the Boeing 787 and composite aircraft • One of only three manufacturers qualified to make this high volume fastener • Qualifications continue on 13 additional strategic part families and are in various stages of completion • Currently qualified and in full production on 2 of the 13 • A significant customer has requested Monogram to partner and qualify on additional part families after the 13 have been completed Category Market Size Our Market Share Market Trend Collars $180 million <2%

23 Product Innovation - Collar Opportunities • Collar facility has state of the art technology and process innovation • Location and vicinity provide excellent resources, support and economic benefits • Low overhead structure, technological advances, product quality and an extremely responsive lead-time provide a significant competitive advantage • Current footprint of 20,000 sq. ft. with room for expansion and growth

Recent Acquisitions – 2013 24 Focus for 2014 is to reduce lead times and increase customer satisfaction. • Located in Stanton, California • Manufacturer of highly-engineered, precision machined, complex parts for commercial and military aerospace applications • Well-positioned to grow as large OEMs such as UTC, Parker and Ontic outsource machining products to reduce their costs • Approximate annual revenue of $13 million • Partnering with customers to create R&D development cells within our factory to manufacture new parts • Six axis machining with automated pallet changer to create new and lower cost processes to machine parts • Logistic costs due to only U.S. approved casting and forging suppliers create significant barriers to resourcing these parts to low cost countries

25 Martinic Engineering Product Growth Opportunities • The highest product growth rates are Airbus APU and fuel control components for A320/A321 series model Martinic Engineering is positioned for product growth. • Also significant opportunities for growth in 787 housings for air conditioning systems and A350 Trent engine intake manifolds

Recent Acquisitions - 2013 • Located in Ottawa, Kansas • Manufacturer of aerospace fasteners, globally utilized by OEMs, aftermarket repair companies, and commercial and military aircraft producers • Broadens product offering on aircraft • Diversifies distribution channels • Provides flexible manufacturing footprint • Approximate annual revenue of $18 million Focus on lead time reduction will drive increased revenue. 26

Mac Fasteners Product Growth Opportunities Joint aerospace marketing team will drive cross-selling of products. 27 • When purchased in November 2013, lead times were 51 weeks and on time delivery was less than 40% with significant past dues • Many potential customers would not do business with Mac Fasteners due to poor delivery records • In 2014, our goal is to cut lead times by more than 50% due to additional manpower staffing, level loading the shops and new equipment to eliminate factory bottlenecks • In 2015, our goal is to reduce lead times by another 50%

28 Geographic Expansion Opportunities • Europe and North America (which used to account for 72% of all air travel) will only represent 40% in 2031 as emerging economies drive future air traffic growth • New collar approvals are well positioned: • For Boeing 787 aircraft which will be the predominate dual aisle aircraft for Asia and Middle East • For Boeing 737 MAX aircraft which is the predominate single aisle aircraft for Asia and Middle East • Well-positioned on the new COMAC 919 aircraft • Working with Airbus on new applications for the A350 TriMas aerospace is positioned for geographic growth.
