# LADISH CO., INC.NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in Thousands,
Except Share Data)

|(1) | Basis
of Presentation
|--- | ---------------------

In the opinion of the Company, the
accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly its financial position at September 30, 2008 and its
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.

The accompanying unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article
10 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all disclosures required for annual
financial statements presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. The Company has filed a report on Form 10-K which
contains audited consolidated financial statements that include all information and
footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at December 31,
2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders
equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results will likely differ from those
estimates, but management believes such differences will not be material.

The results of operations for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full
year.

|(4) | Cash
and Cash Equivalents
|--- | -------------------------

Cash in excess of daily requirements
is invested in marketable securities consisting of commercial paper and money market
instruments which mature in three months or less. Such investments are deemed to be cash
equivalents. Outstanding payroll and accounts payable checks related to certain bank
accounts are recorded as accounts payable on the balance sheets. These checks amounted to
$9,032 and $1,775 as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

|(5) | Revenue
Recognition
|--- | -------------------

Sales revenue is recognized when the
title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is pervasive evidence of an
arrangement, delivery has occurred or the services have been provided, the sales price is
determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. This generally occurs at the time
of shipment. Net sales include freight out as well as reductions for returns and
allowances, and sales discounts. Progress payments on contracts are generally recognized
as reductions of the related inventory costs. Progress payments in excess of inventory
costs are reflected as a liability.

|(6) | Income
Taxes
|--- | ------------

The year-to-date tax provisions for
2008 and 2007 are based on annualized combined federal, state and foreign effective tax
rates of 27.6% and 37.4%, respectively. The principal difference from the expected federal
tax rate of 35% in 2007 is due primarily to state income taxes, offset by the impact of
lower income tax rates in Poland and the benefit of the Domestic Production Activities
deduction. The reduction in the tax rate for 2008 is due to the Company recognizing a
federal tax credit of $5,304 in the third quarter of 2008 for research and development
expenses incurred by the Company in prior years. These tax credits have been realized on
the Companys 2007 tax return along with its 2005 and 2006 tax returns, as amended.
Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, the Company evaluated the
uncertainties of its tax position with respect to the above tax credit and only recognized
ninety percent (90%) of the valuation of said credit in its financial statements dated
September 30, 2008.

|(7) | Pension
and Postretirement Benefits
|--- | -----------------------------------

The components of net periodic
benefit costs recognized for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
are presented in the table below.

The Company previously disclosed in
its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, that it expected to
contribute $10,547 to its pension plans in 2008. As of September 30, 2008, the
Company has made $7,643 of cash contributions to the pension plans versus $51 during the
same period in 2007. On September 10, 2008 and on January 3, 2007, the Company contributed
common stock with market values of $915 and $11,124, respectively, to the pension plans.
The Company currently estimates its total contributions to its pension plans in 2008 will
be $8,955.

In December 2003, the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 was enacted. In May 2004, the
FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 106-2, Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003
in response to the new law which may provide a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree
healthcare benefit plans. The Company has concluded that certain benefits provided by its
postretirement benefit plan are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D under the Act
and has filed a refund request with the Claims Management Services, a division of the
Health and Human Services Department. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company received a
$166 refund.

|(8) | Debt
|--- | ----

The Company sold $30,000 of Series A
senior notes (the Series A Notes) in a private placement to certain
institutional investors on July 20, 2001. The Series A Notes are unsecured and bear
interest at a rate of 7.19% per annum with the interest being paid semiannually. The
Series A Notes have a seven-year duration with the principal amortizing equally over the
duration after the third year. Amortization payments of $6,000 annually were made on
July 20, 2004 through 2008, at which point the Series A Notes were retired.

On May 16, 2006, the Company
sold $40,000 of Series B senior notes (the Series B Notes) in a private
placement to certain institutional investors. The Series B Notes are unsecured and bear
interest at a rate of 6.14% per annum with interest being paid semiannually. The Series B
Notes have a ten-year duration with the principal amortizing equally over the duration
after the third year.

On September 2, 2008, the Company
sold $50,000 of Series C senior notes (the Series C Notes) in a private
placement to certain institutional investors. The Series C Notes are unsecured and bear
interest at a rate of 6.41% per annum with interest being paid semiannually. The Series C
Notes have a seven-year duration with the principal amortizing equally over the duration
after the third year.

The Company and a syndicate of
Lenders have entered into a revolving credit facility (the Facility) which was
most recently renewed on April 25, 2008. The Facility consists of a $35,000 unsecured
revolving line of credit which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.25%. At
September 30, 2008, there were $26,200 of borrowings under the Facility and $8,800
was available pursuant to the terms of the Facility.

|(9) | Earnings
Per Share
|--- | ------------------

The incremental difference between
basic weighted average shares outstanding and diluted weighted average shares outstanding
is due to the dilutive impact of outstanding options.

|(10) | StockholdersEquity
|---- | -------------------

The Company has a Stock Option Plan
(the Plan) that covers certain employees. Under the Plan, incentive stock
options for up to 983,333 shares may be granted to employees of the Company, of which
943,833 options have been granted. These options expire ten years from the grant date.
Options granted vest over two years. There were no options granted in the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, 6,336 options granted under
the Plan remain outstanding and exercisable. During the first nine months of 2008, 26,000
options were exercised (for cash of $215) and shares were issued from Treasury Stock.
During the third quarter of 2008, the Company issued 1,301,961 new shares of common stock
as a part of the consideration for the acquisition of two businesses. The reduction in
accumulated other comprehensive loss is attributable to foreign currency exchange
adjustments.

|(11) | Legal
Proceedings
|---- | -----------------

From time to time the Company is
involved in legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of its operations in the
normal course of business. Although the Company believes that there are no material legal
proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or any of its properties, the
Company has been named as a defendant in a number of asbestos cases in Mississippi, six
asbestos cases in Illinois and one asbestos case in California. As of the date of this
filing, the Company has been dismissed from a majority of the cases in Mississippi, all of
the cases in Illinois and the one case in California. The Company has never manufactured
or processed asbestos. The Companys only exposure to asbestos involves products the
Company purchased from third parties. The Company has notified its insurance carriers of
these claims and is vigorously defending these actions. The Company has not made any
provision in its financial statements for the asbestos litigation.

The Company is also participating in
an investigation initiated by U.S. Customs & Border Protection (Customs)
into duty drawback claims filed on behalf of the Company by its former export agent. The
Company is cooperating with Customs in this investigation and has voluntarily suspended
its duty drawback claims. Based upon its internal investigation, the Company believes any
errors or omissions with respect to its filings were solely attributable to its former
export agent. The Company intends to continue to cooperate with Customs in resolving this
matter. The Company has not made any provision in its financial statements for the Customs
investigation.

|(12) | New
Accounting Pronouncements
|---- | -----------------------------

There are no new accounting
pronouncements which would have a material impact upon the Company.

|(13) | Acquisitions

On July 9, 2008, the Company acquired
all of the outstanding equity of Aerex Manufacturing, Inc. (Aerex) for a
combined cash, $13,000, and stock consideration, 45,750 shares, of approximately $14,000.
Located in South Windsor, CT, Aerex provides precision machining of titanium components

At this time, the Company has not
finalized its valuation of fixed assets for the opening balance sheets of the above two
acquisitions.

# MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL
POSITION (Dollars in Thousands, except per share data)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third Quarter 2008
Compared to Third Quarter 2007

Net sales for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 were $120,761 compared to $105,027 for the same period in 2007.
The 15% increase in net sales for the third quarter of 2008 versus 2007 was due to growth
in all markets served by the Company along with the pass through to selling prices of the
increase in costs for the raw materials utilized by the Company. Net sales in the third
quarter also increased due to acquisitions of Chen-Tech in September 2008 and Aerex in
July 2008. See Footnote (13) Acquisitions or Item 5. Other Information. Gross profit for
the third quarter of 2008 was 15.1% of net sales in contrast to 14.4% of net sales in the
third quarter of 2007 primarily as a result of improved product mix in the third quarter
of 2008 in comparison to the same period in 2007 thereby increasing gross profit as a
percent of net sales.

Selling, general and administrative
expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 5.0% for the third quarter of 2008 compared
to 3.9% for the same period in 2007. The increase in SG&A expenses between the periods
was partially attributable to growth in employment to support capacity expansion. The
primary increase to SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2008 was a one-time expense
for contingent professional fees of $1,000 associated with the Companys recognition
of $5,304 in federal tax credits for research and development expenses in prior years.

Interest expense for the third
quarter of 2008 was $338 in contrast to $572 for the same period in 2007. The lower
interest expense in 2008 is due primarily to increased capitalization of interest expense
on capital projects and reduced interest rates. During the third quarter of 2008, the
Companys revolving line of credit had an interest rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus
1.25% per annum. Series A, Series B and Series C senior notes bore interest at the rate of
7.19%, 6.14% and 6.41%, respectively, per annum. The Company had $26,200 of borrowings
under the revolving line of credit facility and had $90,000 of senior notes outstanding at
the end of the third quarter of 2008.

The 2008 and 2007 third quarter
income tax provisions are based on effective tax rates of 11.6% and 37.9%, respectively.
The reduction in the tax rate for 2008 is attributable to the Companys recognition
of $5,304 as a tax credit due to research and development expenses incurred by the Company
in prior years. At December 31, 2007, the Company has $2,142 of domestic net operating
loss (NOL) carryforwards which management expects to reduce future income
taxes payable. For financial statement purposes, the Company previously recorded a
deferred tax asset for the tax benefits attributable to the NOL carryforwards. Therefore,
the Company uses an effective tax rate which reflects federal and state taxes without a
reduction for actual NOL usage. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements and
Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The Companys net income for the
third quarter of 2008 was $10,435, an increase from $6,479 in the third quarter of 2007.
Profitability increased in the period due to the higher sales, an improved product mix and
a lower effective tax rate in 2008. The Companys contract backlog at
September 30, 2008 was $672,550 as the Company received $93,360 of new orders in the
third quarter of 2008, in comparison to backlogs of $574,506 and $610,979 at
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007, respectively, and $136,243 of new orders in
the third quarter of 2007.

First Nine Months 2008
Compared to First Nine Months 2007

Net sales for the first nine months
of 2008 were $356,917, a 13% increase over $316,287 of net sales for the same period in
2007. The increase in revenues for 2008 is attributable to continued strong demand in all
markets served by the Company and higher costs for raw materials used by the Company that
are passed through to customers. The growth in net sales in 2008 was also a reflection of
the acquisitions of Aerex and Chen-Tech in the third quarter. Higher raw material costs
along with higher energy costs resulted in the Companys cost of sales increasing to
86.4% in the first nine months of 2008 in contrast to 84.0% for the equivalent period in
2007. Gross profits, therefore, fell to 13.6% of net sales in 2008 from 16.0% in 2007.

The first nine months of 2008 had
selling, general and administrative expenses of $15,321 or 4.3% of sales in comparison to
$12,145 or 3.8% of sales in the first nine months of 2007. The $3,176 increase in SG&A
expense is partially due to higher sales and the percentage growth is due to higher
employment costs in 2008. The primary increase to SG&A expense in the first nine
months of 2008 was a one-time expense, recognized in the third quarter, for contingent
professional fees of $1,000 associated with the Companys recognition of $5,304 in
federal tax credits for research and development expenses in prior years.

The Company had $1,018 of interest
expense in the first nine months of 2008 in contrast to $2,078 of interest expense in the
same period of 2007. The interest expense reduction in 2008 resulted from lower interest
rates and the higher capitalization of interest expense related to capital projects. The
Company also had other expense of $828 in the first nine months of 2008 which was related
to foreign currency exchange in Poland and the costs associated with searching for a
location for a new casting facility in Mexico. During the same period of 2007, the Company
had other income of $299 due primarily from the gain on the sale of used equipment.

Income tax provisions of 27.6% and
37.4%, respectively, were recorded for the first nine months of 2008 and 2007. The
principle difference from the expected federal tax rate of 35% in 2007 is due primarily to
state income taxes, offset by the impact of lower income tax rates in Poland and the
benefit of the Domestic Production Activities deduction. The reduction in the tax rate for
2008 is attributable to the Companys recognition of $5,304 as a tax credit due to
research and development expenses incurred by the Company in prior years.

The Companys net income for the
first nine months of 2008 was $22,637 in contrast to $23,008 for the same period in 2007.
The decline in net income is due to higher raw material prices, higher energy prices and
consumption, lower by-product sales and a less profitable product mix, offset by a lower
effective tax rate. September 30, 2008 contract backlog at the Company was $672,550 in
comparison to $574,506 at September 30, 2007. The Company received $332,479 of new orders
in the first nine months of 2008 versus $392,393 of new orders in the same period of 2007.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

The Companys cash position as
of September 30, 2008 and at December 31, 2007 was unchanged. For the first nine
months of 2008, the Company generated $22,033 of cash from operating activities in
contrast to producing $25,914 of cash from operations in the same period of 2007. The
Company expended $40,193 and $25,766 of cash on capital expenditures in the first nine
months of 2008 and 2007, respectively.

On July 20, 2001, the Company
sold $30,000 of Series A Notes in a private placement to certain institutional investors.
The Series A Notes are unsecured and bear interest at a rate of 7.19% per annum with the
interest being paid semiannually. The Series A Notes have a seven-year duration with the
principal amortizing equally over the duration after the third year. Amortization payments
of $6,000 annually were made on July 20, 2004 through 2008, at which time the Series
A Notes were retired.

On May 16, 2006, the Company
sold $40,000 of Series B Notes in a private placement to certain institutional investors.
The Series B Notes are unsecured and bear interest at a rate of 6.14% per annum with
interest being paid semiannually. The Series B Notes have a ten-year duration with the
principal amortizing equally over the duration after the third year.

On September 2, 2008, the Company
sold $50,000 of Series C senior notes (the Series C Notes) in a private
placement to certain institutional investors. The Series C Notes are unsecured and bear
interest at a rate of 6.41% per annum with interest being paid semiannually. The Series C
Notes have a seven-year duration with the principal amortizing equally over the duration
after the third year.

In addition, the Company and a
syndicate of Lenders have entered into the Facility which was most recently renewed on
April 25, 2008. The Facility consists of a $35,000 unsecured revolving line of credit
which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.25%. At September 30, 2008, there were
$26,200 of borrowings under the Facility and $8,800 of credit was available pursuant to
the terms of the Facility.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company
has domestic NOL carryforwards of $2,142 that were generated prior to its 1993
reorganization.

Realization of the domestic net
deferred tax assets, including those attributable to the NOL carryforwards, over time is
dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. In
determining that realization of the domestic net deferred tax assets was more likely than
not, the Company has given consideration to a number of factors including its recent
earnings history, expectations for earnings in the future, the timing of reversal of
temporary differences, tax planning strategies available to the Company and the expiration
dates associated with NOL carryforwards. If, in the future, the Company determines that it
is no longer more likely than not that the domestic net deferred tax assets will be
realized, a valuation allowance will be established against all or part of the domestic
net deferred tax assets with an offsetting charge to the income tax provision.

Item 3.    Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company believes that its exposure
to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and trade accounts
receivable is immaterial as the vast majority of the Companys sales are made in U.S.
dollars. The Company does not consider itself subject to the market risks addressed by
Item 305 of Regulation S-K.
