</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SIFCO Industries, Inc. (&#147;Company&#148;), an Ohio corporation, was incorporated in 1916. The executive
offices of the Company are located at 970 East 64th Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44103, and its
telephone number is (216)&nbsp;881-8600.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is engaged in the production and sale of a variety of metalworking processes, services
and products produced primarily to the specific design requirements of its customers. The
processes and services include forging, heat-treating, coating, welding, machining and selective
electrochemical finishing. The products include forged parts, machined forgings and other machined
metal parts, remanufactured component parts for aerospace and industrial turbine engines, and
selective electrochemical finishing solutions and equipment. The Company&#146;s operations are
conducted in three business segments: (1)&nbsp;Turbine Component Services and Repair Group, (2)
Aerospace Component Manufacturing Group and (3)&nbsp;Applied Surface Concepts (formerly named Metal
Finishing) Group.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>B. Principal Products and Services</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">1. <U>Turbine Component Services and Repair Group</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s Turbine Component Services and Repair Group (&#147;Repair Group&#148;) is headquartered in
Cork, Ireland. This segment of the Company&#146;s business consists principally of the repair and
remanufacture of aerospace and industrial turbine engine components. The business also performs
machining and applies high temperature-resistant coatings to new turbine engine components.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Operations</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The aerospace portion of the Repair Group requires the procurement of licenses/authority, which
certify that the Company has obtained approval to perform certain proprietary repair processes.
Such approvals are generally specific to an engine and its components, a process and a repair
facility/location. Without possession of such approvals, a company would be precluded from
competing in the aerospace turbine engine component repair business. Approvals are issued by either
the original equipment manufacturers (&#147;OEM&#148;) of aerospace turbine engines or the Federal Aviation
Administration (&#147;FAA&#148;). Historically, the aerospace portion of the Repair Group has elected to
procure approvals primarily from the OEM and currently maintains a variety of OEM proprietary
repair process approvals issued by each of the primary OEMs (i.e. General Electric, SNECMA, Pratt &#038;
Whitney, and Rolls-Royce). In exchange for being granted an OEM approval, the Repair Group is
obligated to pay royalties to the OEM for each type of component repair that it performs utilizing
the OEM approved proprietary repair process. The aerospace portion of Repair Group continues to be
successful in procuring FAA repair process approvals. There is no royalty payment obligation
associated with the use of a repair process approved by the FAA. To procure an OEM or FAA approval,
the Repair Group is required to demonstrate its technical competence in the process of repairing
such turbine engine components.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The development of remanufacturing and repair processes is an ordinary part of the Repair Group.
The Repair Group continues to invest time and money on research and development activities. The
Company has research and development activities in PVCVD (Pure Vacuum Chemical Vapor Deposition) of
a wide range of materials, laser technology and e-manufacturing. The Repair Group has the
opportunity to apply the results of this research in both the industrial and aerospace turbine
markets. Operating costs related to such activities are expensed during the period in which they
are incurred.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company has recognized the evolution of the industrial turbine engine market. The Company&#146;s
technologies have had many years of evolution in the aerospace turbine engine sector. The
application of similar technologies to the industrial turbine engine sector has resulted in
benefits to the industrial turbine engine operator. The Company has invested capital in new
equipment that facilitates the repair and remanufacture of these larger (than aerospace) industrial
turbine engine components. Entry into this sector increases the potential market for the
application of the Company&#146;s technologies.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Repair Group generally has multiple sources for its raw materials, which consist primarily of
investment castings essential to this business, although certain raw materials may be provided by a
limited number of suppliers. Certain items are procured directly from the OEM to satisfy repair
process requirements. Suppliers of such materials are located throughout North America and Europe.
The Repair Group generally does not depend on a single source for the supply of its materials and
management believes that its sources are adequate for its business.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Repair Group&#146;s non-U.S. operation has most of its sales denominated in U.S. dollars while a
significant portion of its operating costs are denominated in euros. Therefore, as the euro
strengthens, such operating costs are negatively impacted. During certain periods, the Repair
Group has been able to successfully hedge its exposure to the euro thereby mitigating the negative
impact on its operating results during periods in which the euro is strong relative to the U.S.
dollar. It is difficult to determine at this time if the Company will be able to successfully
hedge its exposure to the euro (during periods of strength against the U.S. dollar) and, therefore,
mitigate the negative impact on the Repair Group&#146;s operating results during future periods.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Industry</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The performance of the domestic and international air transport industry directly and significantly
impacts the performance of the Repair Group. Historically, the air transport industry&#146;s long-term
outlook has, for many years, been for continued, steady growth. Such outlook suggested the need
for additional aircraft and, therefore, growth in the requirement for aerospace turbine engines and
related engine repairs. While the events of September&nbsp;11, 2001 resulted in an immediate reduction
in the demand for passenger travel both in the U.S. and internationally, such demand has rebounded
to pre-September&nbsp;11, 2001 levels. Due to an inherent need to optimize the efficiency and
profitability of operations, airlines appear to be supporting such increased demand for passenger
travel with smaller fleets consisting of new and more efficient aircraft. In addition, the
financial condition of many airlines in the U.S. and throughout the world continues to be weak.
The U.S. airline industry has received U.S. government assistance, while some airlines have entered
bankruptcy proceedings, and others continue to pursue major restructuring initiatives. It is
difficult to determine what the long-term impact of these factors may be on air travel and the
demand for services and products provided by the Repair Group.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The world&#146;s fleet of aircraft has been in transition. Several older models of certain aircraft
(727, 737-100/200, 747-100/200 and DC-9) and the engines (JT8D and JT9D) that power such aircraft
have been retired from use. As a result, the overall demand for repairs to such older model
engines has significantly decreased. At the same time, newer generation aircraft (newer generation
737 and 747; 767, 777, A320, A330, A340, etc.) and engines (CFM-56, PW4000, Trent, GE-90, etc.) are
in use with newer technology required to both operate and maintain such engines. The introduction
of such newer generation aerospace turbine engines has in general reduced the frequency with which
such engines and related components need to be repaired. The longer times between repairs have been
attributed to improved technology, including the improved ability to monitor an engine&#146;s condition
while still in operation. Although the newer generation aerospace turbine engines may require less
frequent overhaul, such aerospace turbine engines generally have a greater number of components
that require repair. This could result in a larger aerospace turbine engine component repair
market in the future. However, recent experience is indicating that the extended time that an
engine remains on wing may cause significant component replacement costs due to the
non-repairability of the longer run components. Further, many airlines are reducing the time
interval between overhauls. This may cause a higher level of component repair activity in the near
term.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Recent years have seen the installation of numerous industrial turbine engines as means of
generating electric power for residential, commercial and industrial consumers. The high cost of
installation and maintenance of such units has provided the Repair Group with the opportunity to
bring value to this significant market. Industrial turbine engine units are in use throughout the
world. Industrial turbine engine units operate in different modes. Some units operate on a
continuous base loading at a percentage of their maximum output, while other units may operate at
maximum output during specific periods of electric power shortages (e.g. power blackouts, peak
demand periods, etc.). The latter units are called peak power systems. In general, industrial
turbine engine units are managed either by a government entity, an electric power utility, or an
independent power producer (&#147;IPP&#148;). IPPs originated principally in response to deregulation of the
organizations that operate electric power utilities. Electric power deregulation has created
greater competition and therefore, more economical electric power for the end user. Repair and
remanufacture of industrial turbine engine components is a growing element of cost management in
the industrial turbine engine industry. The Repair Group&#146;s experience, knowledge and technology in
the more demanding aerospace market augurs well for continued participation in the industrial
turbine engine market.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In recent years, while the absolute number of competitors has decreased as a result of industry
consolidation and vertical integration, competition in the turbine engine component repair business
has nevertheless increased, principally due to the increasing direct involvement of the aerospace
turbine engine manufacturer into the turbine engine overhaul and component repair businesses. With
the entry of the OEM into the market, there has been a general reluctance on the part of the OEM to
issue, to the independent component repair companies, its approvals for the repair of its newer
model engines and related components. However, if an OEM repair process approval is not
available, the Repair Group has, in many cases, been successful in procuring, and subsequently
marketing to its customers, FAA approvals and related repair processes. It appears that the Repair
Group will, more likely than not, become more dependent on its ability to successfully procure and
market FAA approved licenses and related repair processes in the future and/or on close
collaboration with engine

by its success in broadening its product lines and developing new geographic markets and customers,
more recently by its continued expansion into the repair of industrial turbine engine components.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Repair and remanufacture of industrial turbine engine components has evolved through the need for
the operator of electric power utilities to improve the economics of its industrial turbine engine
operations. To participate in the industrial turbine engine sector, it is necessary to have a
proven record of application of the appropriate technologies. Most competitors involved in the
industrial turbine engine component repair sector are either the OEM or entities that have a
history of application of component repairs in the aerospace sector. Metallurgical analysis of
component material removed from an industrial turbine engine determines the precise nature of the
necessary technologies to be used to return the component to service. The determination of
qualification to repair such components is the responsibility of the industrial turbine engine
owner/operator. Several OEM such as ABB, General Electric, Siemens, Alstom, etc. participate to
varying degrees in the repair and remanufacture of industrial turbine engine components. The
Repair Group&#146;s broad product capability (multiple OEM types) and technology base augurs well for
growth in the industrial sector.

Repair Group attempts to rely on its ability to adapt its services and operations to changing
requirements of the market in general and its customers in particular, rather than relying on high
volume production of a particular item or group of items for a particular customer or customers.
During fiscal 2005, the Repair Group had one customer, United Technologies Corporation, which
accounted for 11% of the Repair Group&#146;s net sales. Although there is no assurance that this will
continue, historically as one or more major customers have reduced their purchases, the business

parts ranging in size from 2 to 1,000 pounds (depending on configuration and alloy) in various
steel alloys utilizing a variety of processes for application in the aerospace and other industrial
markets. The ACM Group&#146;s forged products include: OEM and aftermarket components for aircraft and
land-based turbine engines; structural airframe components; aircraft landing gear components,
wheels and brakes; critical rotating components for helicopters; and commercial/industrial
products. The ACM Group also provides heat-treatment and some machining of forged parts.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The ACM Group generally has multiple sources for its raw materials, which consist primarily of high
quality metals essential to this business, although certain raw materials may be provided by a
limited number of suppliers. Suppliers of such materials are located throughout North America and
Europe. The ACM Group does not depend on a single source for the supply of its materials and
believes that its sources are adequate for its business. The business is ISO 9001:2000 registered

impacts the performance of the ACM Group. Historically, the air transport industry&#146;s long-term
outlook has, for many years, been for continued, steady growth. Such outlook suggested the need
for additional aircraft and, therefore, growth in the requirement for airframe and turbine engine
components. While the events of September&nbsp;11, 2001 resulted in an immediate reduction in the
demand for passenger travel both in the U.S. and internationally, such demand has rebounded to

limited opportunity to increase prices, other than for the pass-through of rising raw material
steel alloy prices, due to the overcapacity that remains. The ACM Group believes, however, that
its focus on quality, customer service, new technology and offering a broad range of capabilities

result in a materially adverse impact on the business and income of the ACM Group. However, the
ACM Group has maintained a business relationship with these customers for well over ten years and
is currently conducting business with some of them under multi-year agreements. Although there is

It is important to note a fundamental shift that has occurred in fiscal 2005 with respect to the
ordering pattern of the ACM Group&#146;s customers. With raw material steel alloy lead times continuing
to be extended, customers are placing orders further in advance, which is one reason for the
increase in the ACM Group&#146;s backlog as of September&nbsp;30, 2005. All orders are subject to

metalworking processes, services and products produced primarily to the specific design
requirements of its customers. The processes and services include forging, heat-treating, coating,
welding, machining and selective electrochemical finishing. The products include forgings,
machined forged parts and other machined metal parts, remanufactured component parts for turbine
engines, and selective electrochemical finishing solutions and equipment. The Company&#146;s operations
are conducted in three business segments: (1)&nbsp;Turbine Component Services and Repair Group, (2)
Aerospace Component Manufacturing Group, and (3)&nbsp;Applied Surface Concepts Group.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Fiscal 2005 net sales decreased 7.4% to $81.0&nbsp;million, compared with $87.4&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004.
The net loss in fiscal 2005 was $0.2&nbsp;million, compared with a net loss of $5.9&nbsp;million in fiscal

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales in fiscal 2005 decreased 17.0% to $38.2&nbsp;million, compared with $46.0&nbsp;million in fiscal
2004. Component manufacturing and repair net sales decreased $4.0&nbsp;million to $33.0&nbsp;million in
fiscal 2005, compared with $37.0&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004. Demand for precision component machining
and for component repairs for industrial and large aerospace turbine engines decreased, while the
demand for component repairs for small aerospace turbine engines increased in fiscal 2005 compared
with fiscal 2004. Net sales associated with the demand for replacement parts, which often
complement component repair services provided to customers, decreased $3.8&nbsp;million to $5.2 in
fiscal 2005, compared with $9.0&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During fiscal 2005, the Repair Group&#146;s selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.4
million to $4.3&nbsp;million, or 11.2% of net sales, from $4.7&nbsp;million, or 10.2% of net sales, in fiscal
2004. Included in the $4.3&nbsp;million of selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2005
were $0.2&nbsp;million related to severance charges. The remaining selling, general and administrative
expenses in fiscal 2005 were $4.1&nbsp;million, or 10.6% of net sales. Selling, general and
administrative expenses in fiscal 2005 benefited from a $0.3&nbsp;million reduction in expenses related
to the closure of the Repair Group&#146;s Tampa, Florida facility.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Repair Group&#146;s operating loss in fiscal 2005 increased $1.3&nbsp;million to a $4.6&nbsp;million loss from
a $3.3&nbsp;million loss in fiscal 2004. Operating results decreased in fiscal 2005 principally due to
the negative impact on margins of decreased sales volumes for component manufacturing and repair
services, which was partially offset by higher margins on sales of replacement parts. The higher
margins on sales of replacement parts was attributable to both improved market prices for such
components as well as certain replacement part sales consisting of inventory that had been
previously written down.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During fiscal 2004, the euro strengthened against the U.S. dollar. The euro continued to be strong
in relation to the U.S. dollar during fiscal 2005. The Repair Group&#146;s non-U.S. operation has most
of its sales denominated in U.S. dollars while a significant portion of its operating costs are
denominated in euros. Therefore, as the euro strengthens, costs denominated in euros are negatively
impacted. During fiscal 2005, the Repair Group hedged most of its exposure to the euro thereby
mitigating the negative impact on its operating results in that period. If it had not hedged such
exposure, the impact on the Repair Group&#146;s operating results in fiscal 2005 would have been higher
operating costs of approximately $1.1&nbsp;million related to its non-U.S. operations.

2004. For purposes of the following discussion, the ACM Group considers aircraft that can
accommodate less than 100 passengers to be small aircraft and those that can accommodate 100 or
more passengers to be large aircraft. Net sales of airframe components for small aircraft increased
$1.7&nbsp;million to $14.9&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005 compared with $13.2&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004. Net sales
of turbine engine components for small aircraft, which consist primarily of business aircraft and
regional commercial jets, as well as military transport and surveillance aircraft, decreased $2.2
million to $10.5&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005 compared with $12.7&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004. Net sales of
airframe components for large aircraft increased $0.7&nbsp;million to $2.5&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005
compared with $1.8&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004. Net sales of turbine engine components for large
aircraft decreased $0.1&nbsp;million to $0.9&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005 compared with $1.0&nbsp;million in fiscal
2004. The decrease in the ACM Group&#146;s net sales volumes during fiscal 2005 was offset by an

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2005 were $2.3&nbsp;million, or 7.5% of net
sales, compared with $2.1&nbsp;million, or 7.0% of net sales, in fiscal 2004. This $0.2&nbsp;million increase
in fiscal 2005 was principally due to an increase in administrative and sales salaries resulting
from the full year impact of certain positions that were vacant during a portion of fiscal 2004, as
well as the absence in fiscal 2005 of a reduction in the provision for uncollectible accounts
receivable that occurred in fiscal 2004.

$1.7&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004. Operating results were negatively impacted in fiscal 2005, compared
with fiscal 2004, due to the negative impact on margins resulting from lower sales volumes, as well
as by (i)&nbsp;an increase in raw material prices; (ii)&nbsp;an increase in energy costs; (iii)&nbsp;an increase
in spending on manufacturing supplies and other related expenses; and (iv)&nbsp;a $0.6&nbsp;million increase
in the LIFO provision due principally to the increased cost of steel alloys.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales of the ASC Group increased 7.9% to $11.8&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005, compared with net sales
of $10.9&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2005, product net sales, consisting of selective
electrochemical finishing equipment and solutions, increased 7.8% to $6.0&nbsp;million, compared with
$5.6&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2005, customized selective electrochemical finishing
contract service net sales increased 10.7% to $5.5&nbsp;million, compared with $5.0&nbsp;million in fiscal
2004. In fiscal 2005, net sales increased to customers in the oil and gas exploration industry,
the power generation industry, and the aerospace industry compared with fiscal 2004. These net
sales gains were partially offset in fiscal 2005 by net sales decreases to the automotive
industry, the electronics industry, and the military compared with fiscal 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The ASC Group&#146;s selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2005 were $4.0&nbsp;million, or
33.5% of net sales, compared with $5.9&nbsp;million, or 54.1% of net sales, in fiscal 2004. Included in
the $5.9&nbsp;million of selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2004 was a $2.6&nbsp;million
non-cash impairment charge related to a write-off of goodwill. The remaining selling, general and
administrative expenses in fiscal 2004 were $3.3&nbsp;million, or 30.6% of net sales. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses is principally attributable to (i)&nbsp;an increase in
compensation and employee benefit expenses consisting primarily of severance benefits incurred as a
result of a reorganization of personnel that occurred in early fiscal 2005 and (ii)&nbsp;an increase in
employee compensation and other employee related expenses required to complete staffing needs as a
result of the reorganization of personnel.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Currency exchange gain was a nominal amount in fiscal 2005 compared with an exchange loss of $0.3
million in fiscal 2004. This gain/loss is the result of the impact of currency exchange rate
fluctuations on the Company&#146;s monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in U.S.
dollars. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the euro strengthened in relation to the U.S.
dollar while during the last three quarters of fiscal 2005, the euro weakened in relation to the
U.S. dollar.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Other income includes (i)&nbsp;a $0.1&nbsp;million gain on the sale of a building and land that was part of
the Repair Group&#146;s Tampa, Florida operation, (ii)&nbsp;a $6.2&nbsp;million gain on the sale of a building and
land that was part of the Repair Group&#146;s Irish operations, and (iii) $0.5&nbsp;million of gain on the
sales of certain excess raw material inventory by the ACM Group. Both buildings and land that were
sold were included in assets held for sale at September&nbsp;30, 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In fiscal 2005 and 2004, the income tax benefit related to the Company&#146;s U.S. and non-U.S.
subsidiary losses was offset by a valuation allowance based upon an assessment of the Company&#146;s
ability to realize such benefits. In assessing the Company&#146;s ability to realize its deferred tax
assets, management considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future
taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Future reversal of the
valuation allowance will be achieved either when the tax benefit is realized or when it has been
determined that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be realized through future taxable
income. The deferred tax asset of $575 recognized in fiscal 2004 is attributable to the gain on
the disposal of a building and land in October&nbsp;2004 that was part of the Repair Group&#146;s Irish
operations, and that was recognized for Irish income tax purposes in fiscal 2004 but was recognized
for financial reporting purposes in fiscal 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The Company also recorded a U.S. income tax provision in
fiscal 2005 under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 for a dividend it received from its
non-U.S. subsidiaries.

Net loss for fiscal 2004 was $5.9&nbsp;million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of

Turbine engine component manufacturing and repair net sales increased $4.5&nbsp;million to $37.0&nbsp;million
in fiscal 2004, compared with $32.5&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003. Demand for precision component
machining and for component repairs for industrial turbine engines and large aerospace turbine
engines increased, while the demand for component repairs for small aerospace turbine engines
decreased in fiscal 2004, compared with fiscal 2003. This reflects an increase in demand for
component repairs for newer model large aerospace turbine engines offset by reduced demand for
component repairs for older model large aerospace turbine engines. In addition, net sales
associated with the demand for replacement parts, which often complement component repair services
provided to customers, increased $0.8&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004 to $9.0&nbsp;million, compared with $8.2
million in fiscal 2003.

million loss in fiscal 2003. Included in the $5.3&nbsp;million operating loss in fiscal 2003 were
charges aggregating $1.3&nbsp;million related to the impairment of equipment and $0.4&nbsp;million of
severance charges. Operating results improved in fiscal 2004 principally due to the non-recurrence
of the aforementioned impairment and severance charges. The increased sales volumes for component
manufacturing and repair service would have had a more positive impact on margins if not for the
negative impact of the continued strength of the euro against the U.S. dollar as described below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During fiscal 2004, the euro continued to strengthen in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Repair
Group&#146;s non-U.S. operation has most of its sales denominated in U.S. dollars while a significant
portion of its operating costs are denominated in euros. Therefore, as the euro strengthens, costs
denominated in euros are negatively impacted. During fiscal 2003, the Repair Group hedged much of
its exposure to the strengthening euro thereby mitigating the negative impact on its operating
results in that period. During fiscal 2004, the Company did not hedge all of its exposure to the
strengthening euro, and the exposure that it did hedge was done at exchange rates less favorable
than fiscal 2003 and, therefore, the resulting impact on the Repair Group&#146;s operating results in
fiscal 2004 was higher operating costs of approximately $3.8&nbsp;million related to its non-U.S.
operations, including selling, general and administrative expenses, when compared to fiscal 2003.

less than 100 passengers to be small aircraft and those that can accommodate 100 or more passengers
to be large aircraft. Net sales of airframe components for small aircraft decreased $2.1&nbsp;million
to $13.2&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004, compared with $15.4&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003. Net sales of turbine
engine components for small aircraft, which consist primarily of net sales to Rolls-Royce
Corporation of turbine engine components for the AE series turbine engines for business and
regional jets, as well as military transport and surveillance aircraft, increased $2.6&nbsp;million to
$12.7&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004, compared with $10.1&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003. Net sales of airframe
components for large aircraft decreased $0.3&nbsp;million to $1.8&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004, compared with
$2.1&nbsp;million in fiscal 2003. Net sales of turbine engine components for large aircraft increased

million of selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2003 was a credit of $0.9&nbsp;million
for the reversal of a liability related to a previous year employment action that was settled in
favor of the Company during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The remaining selling, general and
administrative expenses in fiscal 2003 were $2.4&nbsp;million, or 8.0% of net sales. Selling, general

respectively. Operating results were favorably impacted in fiscal 2004 compared with fiscal 2003
by (i)&nbsp;a $0.6&nbsp;million decrease in material cost primarily as a result of product mix consisting of
a greater percentage of products sold containing lower cost materials; (ii)&nbsp;a $0.3&nbsp;million decrease

supplies and repair expenses; (iv)&nbsp;a $0.1&nbsp;million decrease in outside services expense; and (v)&nbsp;a
$0.1&nbsp;million decrease in tooling expense. Operating results in fiscal 2004 were negatively
impacted by a $0.3&nbsp;million increase in the LIFO provision and a $0.3&nbsp;million increase in outside

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">repatriated, at a reduced tax rate, during the tax year that includes
October&nbsp;2004 or during the subsequent tax year. Pursuant to the Act, the Company received a dividend from its non-U.S. subsidiaries during fiscal
2005 in the amount of $13.4&nbsp;million and the funds were principally used to reduce the Company&#146;s
outstanding indebtedness.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s operating activities consumed cash of $4.7&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005, compared with $2.9
million of cash provided in fiscal 2004. The increase in cash consumed by operating activities in
fiscal 2005 is primarily due to an operating loss of $5.8&nbsp;million, a $0.9&nbsp;million increase in
inventories, and a $0.8&nbsp;million decrease in other long-term liabilities. The change in these
components of working capital was due to factors resulting from normal business conditions of the
Company, including sales levels and increased inventory levels required to support principally the
ACM Group&#146;s customer demand, and pension contributions made in fiscal 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Capital expenditures were $2.2&nbsp;million in fiscal 2005, compared with $2.8&nbsp;million in fiscal 2004.
Fiscal 2005 capital expenditures consist of $0.8&nbsp;million by the ACM Group, $0.4&nbsp;million by the ASC
Group and $1.0&nbsp;million by the Repair Group. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2005 consisted
primarily of equipment to expand and diversify the ACM Group&#146;s manufacturing capabilities and the
Repair Group&#146;s repair and precision component machining capabilities. The Company anticipates that
total fiscal 2006 Capital expenditures will approximate $3.0&nbsp;million. Fiscal 2006 capital
expenditures are anticipated to (i)&nbsp;provide increased range of manufacturing capabilities; (ii)
automate certain operations; and (iii)&nbsp;enhance the Company&#146;s service and repair capabilities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company paid off the remaining $2.7&nbsp;million
outstanding balance of its 15-year industrial development variable rate demand revenue bond using
the proceeds from the sale of the Repair Group&#146;s Tampa, Florida facility that was sold during the
first quarter of fiscal 2005 and was included in assets held for sale at September&nbsp;30, 2004. Also
during the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company paid off the remaining $4.5&nbsp;million
outstanding balance of its term note payable to bank using primarily the proceeds of a dividend
from the Company&#146;s non-U.S. subsidiaries.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September&nbsp;30, 2005, the Company has a $6.0&nbsp;million revolving credit agreement with a U.S. bank,
subject to sufficiency of collateral that expires on October&nbsp;1, 2006 and bears interest at the U.S.
bank&#146;s base rate plus 0.50%. The interest rate was 7.25% at September&nbsp;30, 2005. A 0.375%
commitment fee is incurred on the unused balance of the revolving credit agreement. At September
30, 2005, there was no outstanding balance and the Company had approximately $6.0&nbsp;million available
under its $6.0&nbsp;million U.S. revolving credit agreement. The Company&#146;s revolving credit agreement is
secured by substantially all of the Company&#146;s assets located in the U.S., a guarantee by its U.S.
subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the Company&#146;s ownership interest in its non-U.S. subsidiaries.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under its credit agreement with the U.S. bank, the Company is subject to certain customary
covenants. These include, without limitation, covenants (as defined) that require maintenance of
certain specified financial ratios, including a minimum tangible net worth level and a minimum
EBITDA level. During fiscal 2005, the Company entered into agreements with its U.S. bank to (i)
waive its financial ratio covenants as of December&nbsp;31, 2004, March&nbsp;31, 2005, and June&nbsp;30, 2005,
respectively; (ii)&nbsp;amend its financial ratio covenants for future periods; and (iii)&nbsp;extend the
maturity date of the revolving credit agreement. In November&nbsp;2005, the Company entered into an
agreement with its U.S. bank to waive and/or amend certain provisions of its revolving credit
agreement. The amendment (i)&nbsp;waives the minimum tangible net worth level and minimum EBITDA level
at September&nbsp;30, 2005; (ii)&nbsp;amends the minimum tangible net worth level and minimum EBITDA level
for future periods; (iii)&nbsp;establishes a $3.0&nbsp;million reserve against the $6.0&nbsp;million total
revolving credit agreement amount, thereby reducing the available revolving credit agreement amount
to $3.0&nbsp;million; and (iv)&nbsp;extends the maturity of the revolving credit agreement to December&nbsp;31,
2006. Taking into consideration the impact of this agreement, the Company was in compliance with
all applicable covenants at September&nbsp;30, 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Effective September&nbsp;29, 2005, the Company&#146;s Irish subsidiary, entered into a debt purchase
agreement and certain related agreements with an Irish bank. The debt purchase agreement expires
on September&nbsp;26, 2006 and covers eligible accounts receivable of the Company&#146;s Irish subsidiary, as
defined. The maximum amount of this facility is approximately $3.6&nbsp;million and the facility&#146;s
discounting rate is (i)&nbsp;the Irish bank&#146;s prime rate plus 2% (4.65% at September&nbsp;30, 2005) on euro
denominated accounts receivable; (ii)&nbsp;the Irish bank&#146;s cost of funds plus 2.5% (3.55% at September
30, 2005) on U.S. dollar denominated accounts receivable; and (iii)&nbsp;the Irish bank&#146;s cost of funds
plus 2.5% (7.125% at September&nbsp;30, 2005) on British sterling denominated accounts receivable. The
entire amount outstanding at September&nbsp;30, 2005 under the debt purchase agreement is payable in
U.S. dollars, and the Company had $1.4&nbsp;million available under such agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The debt purchase agreement provides for certain customary events of default including, without
limitation, failure to pay any sum due to the Irish bank, failure to comply with
covenants, and the occurrence of a material adverse change in the business condition of the
Company. Upon an event of default, the Irish bank may terminate the debt purchase agreement and
all outstanding accounts receivable purchased by Irish bank will be repayable by the Company to
the Irish bank at the recourse price as defined. This facility is secured by one of the Company&#146;s
Irish subsidiary&#146;s buildings.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In October&nbsp;2004, the Company completed the sale of a building and land that was part of its Repair
Group&#146;s Irish operations and was included in assets held for sale at September&nbsp;30, 2004. The net
proceeds from the sale of these assets were $8.0&nbsp;million and the assets that were sold had a net
book value of approximately $1.8&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company believes that cash flows from its operations together with existing cash reserves and
the funds available under its credit agreements will be sufficient to meet its working capital
requirements through the end of fiscal year 2006. However, no assurances can be given as to the
sufficiency of the Company&#146;s working capital to support the Company&#146;s operations. If the existing
cash reserves, cash flow from operations and funds available under the revolving credit agreement
are insufficient; if working capital requirements are greater than currently estimated; and/or if
the Company is unable to satisfy the covenants set forth in its credit agreements, the Company may
be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures,
restructuring indebtedness, selling assets or operations, or issuing additional shares of capital
stock in the Company. There can be no assurance that any of these actions could be accomplished,
or if so, on terms favorable to the Company, or that they would enable the Company to continue to
satisfy its working capital requirements.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s Repair and ACM Groups&#146; businesses continue to be heavily dependent upon the strength
of the commercial airlines as well as aircraft and related engine manufacturers. Consequently, the
performance of the domestic and international air transport industry directly and significantly
impacts the performance of the Repair and ACM Groups&#146; businesses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The events of September&nbsp;11, 2001 resulted in an immediate reduction in the demand for passenger
travel both in the U.S. and internationally. In addition, the financial condition of many airlines
in the U.S. and throughout the world continues to be weak. The U.S. airline industry has received
U.S. government assistance, while some airlines have entered bankruptcy proceedings, and others
continue to pursue major restructuring initiatives. In more recent years, declines in the
commercial airline, aircraft and related engine industries have been offset by increases in U.S.
military spending for aircraft and related components, and the demand for passenger travel has
rebounded to pre-September&nbsp;11, 2001 levels. The air transport industry&#146;s long-term outlook has been
one of continued, steady growth. Such outlook suggests the need for additional aircraft and,
therefore, growth in the requirement for airframe and engine components as well as aerospace
turbine engine repairs.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">It is difficult to determine the potential long-term impact that the aforementioned factors may
have on air travel and the demand for the products and services provided by the Company. These
factors could result in further credit risk associated with doing business with the financially
troubled airlines and their suppliers. All of these consequences, to the extent that they may
occur, could negatively impact the Company&#146;s net sales, operating profits and cash flows. However,
in light of the current business environment, the Company believes that that cash on-hand, funds
available under its revolving credit agreement, and anticipated funds generated from operations
will be adequate to meet its liquidity needs through the foreseeable future.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
inability of certain customers to make required payments. The Company evaluates the adequacy of
its allowances for doubtful accounts each quarter based on the customers&#146; credit-worthiness,
current economic trends or market conditions, past collection history, aging of outstanding
accounts receivable and specific identified risks.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Inventories</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company maintains allowances for obsolete and excess inventory. The Company evaluates its
allowances for obsolete and excess inventory each quarter. Each business segment maintains formal
policies, which require at a minimum that reserves be established based on an analysis of the age
of the inventory on a part-by-part basis. In addition, if the Company learns of specific
obsolescence, other than that identified by the aging criteria, an additional reserve will be
recognized as well. Specific obsolescence may arise due to a technological or market change, or
based on cancellation of an order.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Impairment of Long-Lived Assets</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and
equipment, at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review. This review
is performed using estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, which include proceeds from
disposal of assets. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is greater than the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows, the long-lived asset is considered impaired and an impairment
charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its
fair value.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company has a significant amount of property, plant and equipment. The determination as to
whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable involves judgment. The Company believes that its estimate of future undiscounted cash
flows is a critical accounting estimate because (i)&nbsp;it requires the Company to make assumptions
about future results and (ii)&nbsp;the impact of recognizing an impairment charge could have a material
impact on the Company&#146;s financial position and results of operations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In projecting future undiscounted cash flows, the Company relies on internal budgets and forecasts;
and projected proceeds upon disposal of long-lived assets. The Company&#146;s budgets and forecasts
are based on historical results and anticipated future market conditions, such as the general
business climate and the effectiveness of competition.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company believes that its estimates of future undiscounted cash flows and fair value are
reasonable; however, changes in estimates of such undiscounted cash flows and fair value could
change the Company&#146;s estimates of fair value. Further, actual results can differ significantly
from assumptions used by the Company in making its estimates. Future changes in the Company&#146;s
estimates could result in future impairment charges.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Goodwill</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company complied with the accounting standards that require goodwill to be tested for
impairment at least annually using a two-step process that begins with an estimation of the fair
value of the segment. If the fair value of the segment exceeds its book value, goodwill of the
segment is not considered impaired. At September&nbsp;30, 2004, the Company determined that the fair
value of the ASC Group did not exceed its book value, including goodwill. As a consequence, the
Company concluded that the ASC Group&#146;s goodwill was fully impaired at September&nbsp;30, 2004 and,
therefore, a full write off as of such date was appropriate.

Taxes&#148;, whereby the Company recognizes an income tax benefit related to its consolidated net losses
and other temporary differences between financial reporting basis and tax reporting basis. At
September&nbsp;30, 2005, the Company&#146;s net deferred tax asset before any valuation allowance was $5.1
million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September&nbsp;30, 2005, the income tax benefit related to its consolidated net losses and other
temporary differences between financial reporting basis and tax reporting basis was offset by a
valuation allowance of $5.1&nbsp;million based on an assessment of the Company&#146;s ability to realize such
benefits. In assessing the Company&#146;s ability to realize its deferred tax assets, management
considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In May&nbsp;2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting No.&nbsp;154, &#147;Accounting Changes and Error Corrections&#148; &#150; a replacement of Accounting
Principles Board (&#147;APB&#148;) Opinion No.&nbsp;20, &#147;Accounting Changes&#148;, and FASB Statement No.&nbsp;3, &#147;Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements&#148;. This statement changes the requirements for
the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition
provisions. APB Opinion No.&nbsp;20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting
principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative
effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This statement requires retrospective
application to prior periods&#146; financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is
impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the
change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of a change in
accounting principle on one or more individual periods presented, this statement requires that the
new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning
of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding
adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of
equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period. When it is
impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to
all prior periods, this statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it
were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. SFAS No.&nbsp;154 is effective for
changes in accounting principle made in fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2005. The
Company does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal year 2007 to have a material
impact on the Company&#146;s financial position or results of operations.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In December&nbsp;2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;123 (revised 2004), &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation&#148;<I>. </I>This
statement supersedes APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25, &#147;Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees&#148;, and its
related implementation guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also
addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that
are based on the fair value of the entity&#146;s equity instruments or that may be settled by the
issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for
transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This
statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties
other than employees provided in SFAS No.&nbsp;123 as originally issued and EITF Issue No.&nbsp;96-18,
&#147;Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services&#148;. This statement does not address the accounting for
employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, &#147;Employers&#146;
Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans&#148;. According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission&#146;s Staff Accounting Bulletin No.&nbsp;107, SFAS No.&nbsp;123 (revised 2004) is effective for the
Company&#146;s fiscal year 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal
year 2006 to have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial position or results of operations.

Accounting Principles Bulletin (&#147;APB&#148;) Opinion No.&nbsp;29<I>, &#147;</I>Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions&#148;.
The guidance in APB Opinion No.&nbsp;29 is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets
should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in Opinion No.&nbsp;29,
however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No.&nbsp;153 amends Opinion No.&nbsp;29 to
eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with
a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A
nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected

Research Bulletin No.&nbsp;43, Chapter&nbsp;4, &#147;Inventory Pricing&#148;. SFAS No.&nbsp;151 was issued to clarify the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
material (spoilage). Paragraph&nbsp;5 of ARB 43, Chapter&nbsp;4, previously stated &#147; under some
circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and
rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges &#147; This
statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether
they meet the criterion of &#147;so abnormal&#148;. In addition, this statement requires that allocation of
fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the
production facilities. SFAS No.&nbsp;151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2005.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to foreign currency and interest
rate risk. The risks primarily relate to the sale of the Company&#146;s products in transactions
denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies (primarily the euro); the payment in local currency of
wages and other costs related to the Company&#146;s non-U.S. operations; and changes in interest rates
on the Company&#146;s long-term debt obligations. The Company does not hold or issue financial
instruments for trading purposes.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company believes that inflation has not materially affected its results of operations in 2005,
and does not expect inflation to be a significant factor in fiscal 2006.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company&#146;s U.S. operations as well as its
Irish subsidiary. The functional currency of the Irish subsidiary is the U.S. dollar because a
substantial majority of the subsidiary&#146;s transactions

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">are denominated in U.S. dollars. For these operations, all gains and losses from completed
currency transactions are included in income currently. For the Company&#146;s other non-U.S.
subsidiaries, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated
into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange at the end of the period and revenues and expenses are
translated using average rates of exchange. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reported
as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)&nbsp;in the consolidated statements of
shareholders&#146; equity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Historically, the Company has been able to mitigate the impact of foreign currency risk by means of
hedging such risk through the use of foreign currency exchange contracts, which typically expire
within one year. However, such risk is mitigated only for the periods for which the Company has
foreign currency exchange contracts in effect, and only to the extent of the U.S. dollar amounts of
such contracts. At September&nbsp;30, 2005, the Company had forward exchange contracts outstanding for
durations of up to 12&nbsp;months to purchase euros aggregating U.S. $12.9&nbsp;million at a weighted average
euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate of approximately 1.23. A ten percent appreciation or
depreciation of the value of the U.S. dollar, relative to the currency in which the forward
exchange contracts outstanding at September&nbsp;30, 2005 are denominated, would result in a $1.3
million decline or increase, respectively, in the value of the forward exchange contracts. The
Company will continue to evaluate its foreign currency risk, if any, and the effectiveness of using
similar hedges in the future to mitigate such risk.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s primary interest rate risk exposure results from the variable interest rate
mechanisms associated with the Company&#146;s long-term debt consisting of a revolving credit agreement
with a U.S. bank and a debt purchase agreement with an Irish bank. If interest rates were to
increase or decrease 100 basis points (1%) from the September&nbsp;30, 2005 rate, and assuming no change
in the amount outstanding under the revolving credit agreement and the debt purchase agreement,
annual interest expense to the Company would be nominally impacted. The Company&#146;s sensitivity
analyses of the effects of changes in interest rates do not consider the impact of a potential
change in the level of variable rate borrowings or derivative instruments outstanding that could
take place if these hypothetical conditions prevail.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SIFCO Industries, Inc. (an Ohio
Corporation) and Subsidiaries as of September&nbsp;30, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders&#146; equity, and cash flows for the each of the three years in
the period ended September&nbsp;30, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

material respects, the financial position of SIFCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
September&nbsp;30, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended September&nbsp;30, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>A. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS</B><BR>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SIFCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the &#147;Company&#148;) are engaged in the production and sale of a
variety of metalworking processes, services and products produced primarily to the specific design
requirements of its customers. The processes and services include forging, heat-treating, coating,
welding, machining and selective electrochemical finishing; and the products include forgings,
machined forged parts and other machined metal parts, remanufactured component parts for turbine
engines, and selective electrochemical finishing solutions and equipment. The Company&#146;s operations
are conducted in three business segments: (1)&nbsp;Turbine Component Services and Repair Group, (2)
Aerospace Component Manufacturing Group and (3)&nbsp;Applied Surface Concepts (formerly named Metal
Finishing) Group.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>B. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all the Company&#146;s U.S. operations as
well as its Irish subsidiary. The functional currency of the Irish subsidiary is the U.S. dollar
because a substantial majority of the subsidiary&#146;s transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars.
For these operations, all gains and losses from completed currency transactions are included in
income currently. For the Company&#146;s other non-U.S. subsidiaries, the functional currency is the
local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange
at the end of the period and revenues and expenses are translated using average rates of exchange.
Foreign currency translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of shareholders&#146; equity.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>C. CASH EQUIVALENTS</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>D. INVENTORY VALUATION</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in,
first-out (&#147;LIFO&#148;) method for approximately 60% and 31% of the Company&#146;s inventories at September
30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Cost is determined using the specific identification method for
approximately 18% and 27% of the Company&#146;s inventories at September&nbsp;30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. The first-in, first-out (&#147;FIFO&#148;) method is used to value the remainder of the
Company&#146;s inventories.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company maintains allowances for obsolete and excess inventory. The Company evaluates its
allowances for obsolete and excess inventory each quarter. Each business segment maintains formal
policies, which require at a minimum that reserves be established based on an analysis of the age
of the inventory on a part-by-part basis. In addition, if the Company learns of specific
obsolescence, other than that identified by the aging criteria, an additional reserve will be
recognized as well. Specific obsolescence may arise due to a technological or market change, or
based on cancellation of an order.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>E. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is generally computed using the
straight-line and the double declining balance methods. Depreciation is provided in amounts
sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation
provisions are based on estimated useful lives: (i)&nbsp;buildings and building improvements &#151; 5 to 50
years and (ii)&nbsp;machinery and equipment, including office and computer equipment &#151; 3 to 20&nbsp;years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and
equipment, at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review. This review
is performed using estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, which include proceeds from
disposal of assets. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is greater than the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows, the long-lived asset is considered impaired and an impairment
charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its
fair value.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>F. GOODWILL</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;142, &#147;Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets&#148;, the Company completed its annual goodwill impairment evaluation at
September&nbsp;30, 2004 after the Company&#146;s fiscal 2005 annual planning process. The Company determined
that its Applied Surface Concepts Group&#146;s business model has matured. This review resulted in a
non-cash impairment charge of $2,574, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, to
write-off goodwill that is allocated to the Company&#146;s Applied Surface Concepts Group. The fair
value of this reporting segment was estimated using the expected present value of future cash
flows.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>G. NET INCOME PER SHARE</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s net income per basic share has been computed based on the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding. Net income per diluted share reflects the effect of the Company&#146;s
outstanding stock options under the treasury stock method. However, during periods of operating
losses, outstanding stock options are not included in the calculation of net loss per diluted share
because such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>H. REVENUE RECOGNITION</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the relevant portions of the Securities and
Exchange Commission&#146;s Staff Accounting Bulletins No.&nbsp;101, &#147;Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements&#148; and No 104, &#147;Revenue Recognition&#148;. Revenue is generally recognized when products are
shipped or services are provided to customers.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>I. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In May&nbsp;2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting No.&nbsp;154, &#147;Accounting Changes and Error Corrections&#148; &#150; a replacement of Accounting
Principles Board (&#147;APB&#148;) Opinion No.&nbsp;20, &#147;Accounting Changes&#148;, and FASB Statement No.&nbsp;3, &#147;Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements&#148;. This statement changes the requirements for
the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition
provisions. APB Opinion No.&nbsp;20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting
principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative
effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This statement requires retrospective
application to prior periods&#146; financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is
impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the
change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of a change in
accounting principle on one or more individual periods presented, this statement requires that the
new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning
of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding
adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of
equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period. When it is
impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to
all prior periods, this statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it
were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. SFAS No.&nbsp;154 is effective for
changes in accounting principle made in fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2005. The
Company does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal year 2007 to have a material
impact on the Company&#146;s financial position or results of operations.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In December&nbsp;2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;123 (revised 2004), &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation&#148;<I>. </I>This
statement supersedes APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25, &#147;Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees&#148;, and its
related implementation guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also
addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that
are based on the fair value of the entity&#146;s equity instruments or that may be settled by the
issuance of those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for
transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This
statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties
other than employees provided in SFAS No.&nbsp;123 as originally issued and EITF Issue No.&nbsp;96-18,
&#147;Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services&#148;. This statement does not address the accounting for
employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, &#147;Employers&#146;
Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans&#148;. According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission&#146;s Staff Accounting Bulletin No.&nbsp;107, SFAS No.&nbsp;123 (revised 2004) is effective for the
Company&#146;s fiscal year 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal
year 2006 to have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial position or results of operations.

amendment of Accounting Principles Bulletin (&#147;APB&#148;) Opinion No.&nbsp;29<I>, &#147;</I>Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions&#148;. The guidance in APB Opinion No.&nbsp;29 is based on the principle that exchanges of
nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance
in Opinion No.&nbsp;29, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No.&nbsp;153 amends
Opinion No.&nbsp;29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets
and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of
the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No.&nbsp;153 is
effective for fiscal periods beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2005. The adoption of this statement in the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 did not have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial
position or results of operations.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In November&nbsp;2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;151, &#147;Inventory Costs&#148; &#151; an amendment of Accounting
Research Bulletin No.&nbsp;43, Chapter&nbsp;4, &#147;Inventory Pricing&#148;. SFAS No.&nbsp;151 was issued to clarify the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and
wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph&nbsp;5 of ARB 43, Chapter&nbsp;4, previously stated &#147; under some
circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and
rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges &#147; This
statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether
they meet the criterion of &#147;so abnormal&#148;. In addition, this statement requires that allocation of
fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the
production facilities. SFAS No.&nbsp;151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2005.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require management to make a number
of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period in preparing these financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Receivables are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $682 and $630 at September&nbsp;30,
2005 and 2004, respectively. During fiscal 2005, $65 of accounts receivable were written off
against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Bad debt expense (income)&nbsp;totaled $115, $(104) and
$115 in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Most of the Company&#146;s receivables represent trade receivables due from manufacturers of turbine
engines and aircraft components, airlines, and turbine engine overhaul companies located throughout
the world, including a significant concentration of U.S. based companies. Approximately 29% of the
Company&#146;s net sales in 2005 were to two of its largest customers. No other single group or
customer represents greater than 3% of total net sales in 2005. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers&#146; financial conditions. The Company believes its allowance for
doubtful accounts is sufficient based on the credit exposures outstanding at September&nbsp;30, 2005.
However, certain customers have filed for bankruptcy protection in the last several years and it is
possible that additional credit losses could be incurred if other customers seek bankruptcy
protection.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>M. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company utilizes from time-to-time foreign currency exchange contracts as part of the
management of its foreign currency risk exposure. The Company has no financial instruments held
for trading purposes. All financial instruments are put into place to hedge specific exposure. To
qualify as a hedge, the item to be hedged must expose the Company to foreign currency risk and the
hedging instrument must effectively reduce that risk. If the financial instrument is designated as
a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the financial instrument
are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the shareholders&#146; equity section of the
consolidated balance sheets. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of the financial
instrument, to the extent they may exist, are recognized in the consolidated statements of
operations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Historically, the Company has been able to mitigate the impact of foreign currency risk by means of
hedging such risk through the use of foreign currency exchange contracts, which typically expire
within one year. However, such risk is mitigated only for the periods for which the Company has
foreign currency exchange contracts in effect, and only to the extent of the U.S. dollar amounts of
such contracts. At September&nbsp;30, 2005, the Company had forward exchange contracts outstanding for
durations up to 12&nbsp;months to purchase euros aggregating $12,900.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Through the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company used an interest rate swap agreement to
reduce risks related to variable-rate debt. This was designated as a cash flow hedge. Cash flows
related to the interest rate swap agreements were included in interest expense. The Company&#146;s
interest rate swap agreement and its variable-rate term debt were based upon three-month LIBOR. In
December&nbsp;2004, the Company terminated its interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of
$4,500 in conjunction with the repayment of the Company&#146;s variable rate term note payable to bank.
The loss from the termination of the interest rate swap agreement, $79, was charged to interest
expense. During 2005 through the date of its termination, the interest rate swap agreement
qualified as a fully effective cash flow hedge against the Company&#146;s variable-rate term note
interest risk.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>N. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense was
approximately $484, $596 and $433 for the years ended September&nbsp;30, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company receives grants from certain government entities as an incentive to invest in
facilities, research and employees. Certain of these grants require that the Company maintain
operations for up to ten years after receipt of grant proceeds in order to qualify for the full
value of the benefits received. These amounts are recorded as deferred revenue when received.
Capital grants are amortized into income over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Employment grants are amortized into income over five years. Training, research, marketing and
other grants are recognized as income when received.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During 2003, the Company renegotiated the terms of certain of its grant agreements. The amended
agreements revised the minimum employment level threshold that could trigger repayment, provided
for annual employment level performance reviews to commence in December&nbsp;2004, extended the
expiration date of certain grants, and cancelled any further grant payments under certain grant
agreements. The Company accounted for this amendment by reclassifying $2,517 of deferred grant
revenue from accrued liabilities to other long-term liabilities in recognition of the fact that no
grants were repayable during fiscal 2004. The Company has elected to treat this amount as an
obligation and will not commence amortizing it into income until such time as it is more certain
that the Company will not be required to repay a portion of these grants. Because these grants are
denominated in euros, the Company will continue to adjust the balance in response to currency
exchange rate fluctuations for as long as such grants are treated as an obligation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s relevant employment levels at September&nbsp;30, 2005 met or exceeded the minimum
employment level threshold set by its grant agreements, as amended. The Company expects to meet or
exceed its December&nbsp;31, 2005

other long-term liabilities. The unamortized portion of deferred grant revenue recorded in other
long-term liabilities at September&nbsp;30, 2005 and 2004 was $3,251, and $3,403,
respectively. The Company recognized grant income of $66, $116 and $133 in fiscal 2005, 2004 and

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company paid off the remaining $4,500 outstanding
balance of its term note payable to bank. Also during the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the
Company paid off the remaining $2,745 outstanding balance of its 15-year industrial development
variable rate demand revenue bond.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September&nbsp;30, 2005, the Company has a $6,000 revolving credit agreement with a U.S. bank subject
to sufficiency of collateral that expires on October&nbsp;1, 2006 and bears interest at the U.S. bank&#146;s
base rate plus 0.50%. The interest rate was 7.25% and 5.25% at September&nbsp;30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. The daily average balance outstanding against the U.S. revolving credit agreement
was $1,685 and $2,643 during 2005 and 2004, respectively. A commitment fee of 0.375% is incurred
on the unused balance. At September&nbsp;30, 2005, the Company had $5,955 available under its $6,000
U.S. revolving credit agreement. The Company&#146;s revolving credit agreement is secured by
substantially all of the Company&#146;s assets located in the U.S., a guarantee by its U.S. subsidiaries
and a pledge of 65% of the Company&#146;s ownership interest in its non-U.S. subsidiaries.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under its revolving credit agreement with the U.S. bank, the Company is subject to certain
customary covenants. These include, without limitations, covenants (as defined) that require
maintenance of certain specified financial ratios, including a minimum tangible net worth level and
a minimum EBITDA level. During 2005, the Company entered into agreements with its U.S. bank to (i)
waive its financial ratio covenants as of December&nbsp;31, 2004, March&nbsp;31, 2005 and June&nbsp;30, 2005,
respectively; (ii)&nbsp;amend its financial ratio covenants for future periods; and (iii)&nbsp;extend the
maturity date of the revolving credit agreement. In November&nbsp;2005, the Company entered into an
agreement with its U.S. bank to waive and/or amend certain provisions of its revolving credit
agreement. The agreement (i)&nbsp;waives the minimum tangible net worth level and minimum EBITDA level
at September&nbsp;30, 2005; (ii)&nbsp;amends the minimum tangible net worth level and minimum EBITDA level
for future periods; (iii)&nbsp;establishes a $3,000 reserve against the $6,000 total revolving credit
agreement amount, thereby reducing the available revolving credit agreement amount to $3,000
million; and (iv)&nbsp;extends that maturity of the revolving credit agreement to December&nbsp;31, 2006.
Taking into consideration the impact of this amendment, the Company was in compliance with all
applicable covenants at September&nbsp;30, 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During fiscal 2004, the Company&#146;s revolving credit agreement with its U.S. bank required a lockbox
agreement, which provided for all cash receipts to be swept daily to reduce revolving credit
agreement borrowings outstanding. The lockbox agreement, combined with the existence of a material
adverse change clause in the revolving credit agreement, required the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">revolving credit agreement to be classified at September&nbsp;30, 2004 as a current liability. The
material adverse change clause, which is a typical requirement in commercial credit agreements,
allows a lender to require the loan to become due if the lender determines there has been
a material adverse change in the Company&#146;s operations, business, properties, assets, liabilities,
condition or prospects. At no time did the revolving credit agreement become due as a result of a
material adverse change. The classification at September&nbsp;30, 2004 of the revolving credit agreement
as a current liability was a result only of the combination of the two aforementioned factors: the
lockbox agreement and the material adverse change clause. During fiscal 2005, the bank removed
the lockbox requirement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Effective September&nbsp;29, 2005, the Company&#146;s Irish subsidiary, entered into a debt purchase
agreement and certain related agreements with an Irish bank. The debt purchase agreement expires
on September&nbsp;26, 2006 and covers eligible accounts receivable of the Company&#146;s Irish subsidiary, as
defined. The maximum amount of this facility is approximately $3.6&nbsp;million and the facility&#146;s
discounting rate is (i)&nbsp;the Irish bank&#146;s prime rate plus 2% (4.65% at September&nbsp;30, 2005) on euro
denominated accounts receivable; (ii)&nbsp;the Irish bank&#146;s cost of funds plus 2.5% (3.55% at September
30, 2005) on U.S. dollar denominated accounts receivable; and (iii)&nbsp;the Irish bank&#146;s cost of funds
plus 2.5% (7.125% at September&nbsp;30, 2005) on British sterling denominated accounts receivable. The
entire amount outstanding at September&nbsp;30, 2005 under the debt purchase agreement is payable in
U.S. dollars, and the Company had $1,361 available under such agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The debt purchase agreement provides for certain customary events of default including, without
limitation, failure to pay any sum due to the Irish bank, failure to comply with covenants, and
the occurrence of a material adverse change in the business condition of the Company. Upon an
event of default, the Irish bank may terminate the debt purchase agreement and all outstanding
accounts receivable purchased by the Irish bank will be repayable by the Company to the Irish bank
at the recourse price as defined. This facility is secured by one of the Company&#146;s Irish
subsidiary&#146;s buildings.

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>SIFCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries<BR>
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements &#150; </B><B><I>(Continued)</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September&nbsp;30, 2005 the Company has U.S. federal and non-U.S. tax loss carryforwards of
approximately $9,800 and $5,200, respectively. The U.S. federal tax loss carryforwards expire in
2022 through 2025. The non-U.S. tax loss carryforwards do not expire. The Company has U.S. federal
tax credit carryforwards of approximately $800, of which $400 expires in 2008 and the remaining
$400 expires in 2015.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September&nbsp;30, 2005, the Company recognized an additional $938 valuation allowance against its
net deferred tax assets. In assessing the Company&#146;s ability to realize its net deferred tax
assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its net
deferred tax assets may not be realized. Management considered the scheduled reversal of deferred
tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this
assessment. Future reversal of the valuation allowance may be achieved either when the tax benefit
is realized or when it has been determined that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be
realized through future taxable income. The deferred tax asset of $575 recognized in fiscal 2004
is attributable to the gain on the disposal of a building and land in October&nbsp;2004 that was part of
the Repair Group&#146;s Irish operations that was recognized for Irish income tax purposes in fiscal
2004. The Irish tax on this gain on disposal was paid in 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company considers the undistributed earnings, accumulated prior to October&nbsp;1, 2000, of its
non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the U.S. Distribution of
these non-U.S. subsidiary earnings may be subject to U.S. income taxes. Cumulative undistributed
earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries for which no U.S. federal deferred income tax liabilities have
been established were approximately $10,000 at September&nbsp;30, 2005. During fiscal 2005 and 2003,
the Company received distributions from the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries accumulated
subsequent to September&nbsp;30, 2000. The distributions reduced the deferred U.S. income tax liability
on the undistributed earnings of the Company&#146;s non-U.S. subsidiaries to $26 at September&nbsp;30, 2003.
The Company elected to treat the $13,440 distribution from the earnings of its non-U.S.
subsidiaries in 2005 under the provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, whereby the
qualifying portion of the distribution was eligible for favorable tax treatment.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>7. Retirement Benefit Plans</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company and certain of its subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans covering
most of its employees. The Company&#146;s funding policy for U.S. defined benefit pension plans is
based on an actuarially determined cost method allowable under Internal Revenue Service
regulations. Non-U.S. plans are funded in accordance with the requirements of regulatory bodies
governing the plans.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During fiscal 2003, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors adopted a resolution to cease the accrual of
future benefits under one of its defined benefit pension plans, which covers substantially all
non-union employees of the Company&#146;s U.S. operations. The plan will otherwise continue. Because
the unrecognized actuarial losses exceeded the curtailment gain, there was no income or expense
recognized in 2003 related to these changes. In conjunction with the changes to the defined
benefit plan, the Company made certain enhancements to the defined contribution plan that is also
available to substantially all non-union employees of the Company&#146;s U.S. operations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company uses a July 1 measurement date for its U.S. defined benefit pension plans and a
September&nbsp;30 measurement date for its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Net pension expense
for the Company-sponsored defined benefit pension plans consists of the following:

participants will not be entitled to dividends nor voting rights until the shares have vested.
Upon issuance of Common Shares under the program, unearned compensation equivalent to the market
value at the date of award is charged to shareholders&#146; equity and subsequently amortized to expense
over the vesting periods. Compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned
compensation was $69, $87 and $106 in fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>10. Asset Impairment and Other Charges</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During fiscal 2003, as a result of the continuing downturn in the commercial aviation industry
at that time and the resulting reduction in demand for third party aerospace turbine engine
component repair services, such as those provided by the Company, the Repair Group decided to cease
operations at one of its turbine engine component repair facilities and to optimize its remaining
component repair capability through consolidation of operations. The Company completed these
actions in fiscal 2004. As a result of these decisions, the Repair Group incurred $645 of
severance and other employee benefit charges to be paid to 60 personnel, all of which was incurred
during fiscal 2003 and was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the
consolidated statements of operations. As of September&nbsp;30, 2003, substantially all payments had
been made for these expenses. In connection with these decisions, asset impairment charges
totaling $1,309 related primarily to machinery and equipment were recorded in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations during fiscal 2003. The
machinery and equipment write-downs relate to items that were expected to be disposed or to
experience reduced utilization. Fair value of these assets was determined based on estimated cash
flows.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>11. Contingencies</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary
course of business. The Company cannot reasonably estimate future costs, if any, related to these
matters. Although it is possible that the Company&#146;s future operating results could be affected by
the future cost of litigation, it is management&#146;s belief at this time that such costs will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company leases various facilities and equipment under leases expiring at various dates. At
September&nbsp;30, 2005, minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable leases are as follows:

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company identifies reportable segments based upon distinct products manufactured and
services performed. The Turbine Component Services and Repair Group (&#147;Repair Group&#148;) consists
primarily of the repair and remanufacture of aerospace and industrial turbine engine components.
The Repair Group is also involved in precision component machining for turbine engine applications.
The Aerospace Component Manufacturing Group (&#147;ACM Group&#148;) consists of the production, heat
treatment and some machining of forgings in various alloys utilizing a variety of processes for
application in the aerospace industry. The Applied Surface Concepts Group is a provider of
specialized selective electrochemical metal finishing processes and services used to apply metal
coatings to a selective area of a component. The Company&#146;s reportable segments are separately
managed.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">One customer of all three of the Company&#146;s segments accounted for 16%, 7% and 8% of the Company&#146;s
consolidated net sales in 2005, 2004 and 2003. Another customer of two of the Company&#146;s segments
in 2005 and all three of the Company&#146;s segments in 2004 and 2003 accounted for 13%, 13% and 12% of
the Company&#146;s consolidated net sales in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Geographic net sales are based on location of customer. The U.S. is the single largest country for
unaffiliated customer sales, accounting for 58% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2005. No other
single country represents greater than 10% of consolidated net sales. Net sales to unaffiliated
customers located in various European countries in fiscal 2005 accounted for 28% of consolidated
net sales.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Corporate unallocated expenses represent expenses that are not of a business segment operating
nature and, therefore, are not allocated to the business segments for reporting purposes.
Corporate identifiable assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;<B>Amount of Separation Pay. </B>In the event the Executive becomes eligible for separation pay
under Section&nbsp;3 of the Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Executive, or, if applicable, to the
Executive&#146;s legal representative or Beneficiary, an amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) times
the Executive&#146;s annual base salary and the average of his cash bonus for each of the most recent
three fiscal years prior to his termination, less applicable withholdings and taxes, provided that
calculation of such amount shall be subject to the provisions of Section&nbsp;7 of the Agreement.
Except as provided below, the payment of such separation pay under the Agreement shall be made in
cash to the Executive in a lump sum no later than 60&nbsp;days following his date of termination.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the
separation pay payable to the Executive under Section&nbsp;3 of the Agreement exceeds two times the
lesser of: (i)&nbsp;the Executive&#146;s annual compensation (as defined for purposes of Section&nbsp;409A of the
Code) for the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the Executive&#146;s termination of
employment occurs, or (ii)&nbsp;the maximum amount of compensation that may be taken into account under
a qualified plan pursuant to Section&nbsp;401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which the Executive&#146;s
termination of employment occurs, payment of the Executive&#146;s separation pay under the Agreement
shall be made in a lump sum six months after the date on which the Executive&#146;s termination of
employment occurs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;<B>Welfare Benefits</B>. In the event the Executive becomes eligible for welfare benefits under
Section&nbsp;3 of the Agreement, the Company shall provide the Executive and/or the Executive&#146;s family
with welfare benefits for the 18-month period following the Executive&#146;s date of termination that
are, at least equal, in the aggregate, to those welfare benefits which would have been provided to
them in accordance with the Company&#146;s welfare benefit plans, programs, practices and policies, if
the Executive&#146;s employment had not been terminated or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in
effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and
its affiliated companies and their families; provided, however, that if the Executive becomes
reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive welfare benefits under another
employer-provided plan, the Company shall discontinue such otherwise provided benefits as of such
eligibility date. Furthermore, the Company shall pay for out placement services for Executive.
