Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The stock options exercised herein reflect the cashless exercise of certain options scheduled to expire on August 5, 2006. In connection with the October 1999 spin-off of CIRCOR from Watts Industries, 87,989 options were granted to the reporting person on 10/18/99 as replacement options for options previously granted to the reporting person by Watts on 8/5/1996. Sixty percent of the options were vested as of the 10/18/99 replacement date, with the remaining options vesting at 20% on each successive anniversary date of 10/18/2000 and 10/18/2001. The transactions for the 12,285 and 500 options exercised and reported on this Form 4 are a portion of remaining 44,085 options outstanding.
(2)	Upon exercise, the underlying options convert into shares of the issuer's common stock on a one-for-one basis.
(3)	As reported in Form 5 filed February 12, 2002 with respect to the year ended December 31, 2001, the reporting person, with the approval of the Compensation Committee of the issuer's Board of Directors, on December 10, 2001, transferred a total of 112,521 stock options into three trusts for the benefit of the reporting person's three adult children. Because the reporting person's spouse is a trustee under each of these trusts, the reporting person my be deemed to have an indirect beneficial interest in these options with continuing Section 16 reporting obligations. The transfer of options to the three trusts included each of the remaining aggregate 44,085 outstanding stock options, for which the cashless exercise of 12,285 and 500 of these 44,085 are reported in this Form 4.
(4)	Prior to the transactions reported herein, the reporting person held 24,955 shares of the issuer's common stock directly and an additional 500 shares indirectly in his spouse's name. As noted in footnote 3, the acquisition and subsequent disposition of additional shares reported herein reflects the cashless exercise of stock options which are scheduled to expire August 5, 2006 and which are held indirectly in three trusts established for the benefit of the reporting person's three adult children. As a result, the net result, after consummation in these transactions, is that the reporting person continues to hold 24,955 shares directly and an additional 500 shares indirectly in his spouse's name.
(5)	The transaction reported herein reflects the cashless exercise of the reporting person of stock options previously granted to the reporting person by the issuer.
(6)	Prior to the transactions reported herein, the reporting person held 24,955 shares of the issuer's common stock directly and an additional 500 shares indirectly in his spouse's name. After consumption of these transactions, the reporting person continues to hold 24,955 shares directly and an additional 500 shares indirectly in his spouse's name.
