20 Product Expansion Opportunities Category Estimated Market Size Approximate Market Share Market Trend Blind Bolts (Threaded & Pull Type) $200 million 32% Temporary Clamps $12 million 40% Aerospace Screws $450 million 4% Collars $180 million <2% Honeycomb Pins $5 million 75% Position in the Market Place Work with customers to provide additional product solutions. Sales by Product Fastener Market Temporary Clamps Honeycomb Pins Aerospace Screws Collars Based on 2013 management estimates Blind Bolts This chart does not include the Martinic product line.


 
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.
