LADISH CO., INC.NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED 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 June 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004 and its results of operations and cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 and June 31, 2004. All adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature.

The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of
Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows 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, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

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.

|(2) | Inventories
|--- | -----------

Inventories consisted of:

|                                  
|----------------------------------
|Raw material and supplies         
|Work-in-process and finished goods
|Less progress payments            
|                                  
|Total inventories                 
|

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

Cash in excess of daily requirements
is invested in marketable securities consisting of commercial paper and repurchase
agreements which mature in three months or less. Such investments are deemed to be cash
equivalents.

|(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 June 30, 2005 year-to-date tax
provision of $4,463 reflects an annualized effective tax rate of 38.5%. The principal
difference from the expected tax rate of 34% is state income taxes.

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

The components of net periodic
benefit costs recognized for the six-month periods ending June 30, 2005 and 2004 are
presented in the table below.

|                                   
|-----------------------------------
|2005                               
|Service cost                       
|Interest cost                      
|Expected return on plan assets     
|Amortization of prior service cost 
|Amortization of the net (gain) loss
|                                   
|Net periodic benefit cost (income) 
|                                   

Contributions:

The Company previously disclosed in
its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, that it expects to
contribute $4,003 to its pension plans in 2005. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has made
$1,121 of cash contributions to the pension plans versus $2,014 during the same period in
2004. The Company estimates its total contribution to its pension plans in 2005 will be
$4,295.

|(8) | 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 and warrants.

---

Page 8 of 14

|(9) | Stockholders Equity
|--- | --------------------

The Company has a Long-Term Incentive
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
946,833 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 quarters ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004. As of June 30, 2005, 530,334 options granted under the Plan remain
outstanding and exercisable. During the second quarter of 2005, 18,000 stock options were
exercised (for cash of $126) and shares were issued from Treasury Stock.

The Company accounts for its option
grants using the intrinsic value based method pursuant to APB Opinion No. 25 and Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123) under which no
compensation expense was recognized in the three and six-month periods ending June 30,
2005 and June 30, 2004. Had compensation cost for these options been determined pursuant
to the fair value method under SFAS 123, the Companys pro forma net income and
diluted earnings per share would have been as follows:

|

|2005            
|As
Reported     
|Net Income      
|Diluted earnings
|per share       

|(10) | 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 approximately seventy-three (73) asbestos cases
in Mississippi and three (3) asbestos cases in Illinois. As of the date of this filing,
the Company has been dismissed from forty-three (43) of the cases in Mississippi and two
(2) of the cases in Illinois. 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.

|(11) | New
Accounting Pronouncements
|---- | -----------------------------

In March 2005, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 47 (FIN
47), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. FIN 47 clarifies that
an entity must record a liability for a conditional asset retirement
obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. The provision
is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The
Company has not determined what effect, if any, FIN 47 will have on its financial position
or results of operations.

The Company currently expects to
adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment,
effective January 1, 2006, based on the new effective date announced by the SEC. The
cumulative effect of initially applying this Statement, if any, is recognized as of the
effective date. Because the Company has no unvested options, it is expected that adoption
will have no material effect on the results of operations or financial position as of the
effective date.

Page 9 of 14

FASB Statement 151, Inventory
Costs-an amendment of FASB No. 43, Chapter 4,amends the guidance in ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4 Inventory Pricing to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. This Statement
requires that those items be expensed as current period charges to expense and that
allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of conversion be based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this Statement are effective for
inventory costs incurred by the Company beginning January 1, 2006. As the Company already
applies this approach to inventory pricing, there will be no material effect on its
financial position and results of operations.

MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND  CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION
 (Dollars in Thousands)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter 2005
Compared to Second Quarter 2004

Net sales for the three months ended
June 30, 2005 were $66,533 compared to $53,279 for the same period in 2004. The 24.9%
increase in sales for the second quarter of 2005 was due to the overall improvement in the
aerospace industry along with a significantly stronger demand for industrial forgings.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2005 increased to 14.9% of sales in contrast to
10.7% of sales in the second quarter of 2004 primarily as a result of increased sales and
a more favorable product mix, which resulted in better absorption of fixed costs, along
with improved pricing of by-product sales in 2005.

Selling, general and administrative
expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 2.9% for the second quarter of 2005 compared to
4.0% for the same period in 2004. The variation in SG&A expenses as a percentage of
sales between the periods was directly attributable to the Companys increased sales
and cost containment efforts, in addition to the recognition in the second quarter of 2005
of $498 of credits in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44) on
the variable pricing portion of the Companys stock option program.

Interest expense for the three-month
period in 2005 was $430 in contrast to $570 for the same period in 2004. The lower
interest expense in 2005 reflects the reduction in the amount of senior notes outstanding.
During the second quarter of 2005, the Companys revolving credit facility had an
interest rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 1.50% per annum and the senior notes bore
interest at the rate of 7.19% per annum. The Company had $1,400 of borrowings under the
revolving credit facility at the end of the second quarter of 2005.

The second quarter of 2005 tax
provision of $2,903 reflects an annualized effective tax rate of 38.5%. The Company has
significant net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards which largely offset
current income taxes payable. For financial statement purposes, the Company previously
recorded as 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
second quarter of 2005 was $4,630, a $2,452 increase from the same period in 2004. The
increase in profitability was due to the above described sales increase in 2005 which
resulted in the improved absorption of fixed costs along with improved product mix,
favorable by-product sales and tooling revenue. The Companys contract backlog at
June 30, 2005 was $376,511 as the Company received $111,475 of new orders in the second
quarter of 2005, in comparison to a backlog of $239,353 at June 30, 2004 and $66,663 of
new orders in the second quarter of 2004.

First Six Months of 2005
Compared to First Six Months of 2004

In the first six months of 2005, the
Company had $131,627 of net sales, an increase of $27,632 or 26.6% over the same period in
2004. This sales growth was due to the continued improvement in the aerospace market. The
Company had gross income of $17,205 or 13.1% of sales in the first half of 2005 in
comparison to $8,091 or 7.8% of sales in the first half of 2004. The improvement in
profitability in 2005 is attributed to better absorption of fixed costs from the increased
sales, improved product mix and gains from by-product sales.

---

Page 11 of 14

The sales increase in the first half
of 2005 along with the recognition of $443 of credits in accordance with FIN 44
contributed to the Companys ability to reduce its selling, general and
administrative expenses to 3.5% of sales in comparison to 4.3% of sales in the first half
of 2004.

Interest expense of $876 in the first
six months of 2005 was a reduction of $328 from the $1,204 of interest expense incurred in
the same period of 2004. The reduction in interest is due to the lower level of debt in
2005 resulting from the July 2004 initial amortization of $6,000 of long-term notes.

The Company recognized $4,463 of tax
expense for the first half of 2005, an effective rate of 38.5%, versus $716, an effective
rate of 29%, in 2004. The higher rate in 2005 is attributable to the Company being
profitable throughout 2005 in comparison to 2004 which included a loss in the first
quarter of that year. The Company has significant net operating loss (NOL)
carryforwards which largely offset current income taxes payable. For financial statement
purposes, the Company previously recorded as 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.

Net income for the first half of 2005
of $7,288, 5.5% of sales, resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.53. The improvement
over the 2004 first half results of $1,753, 1.7% of sales and diluted earnings per share
of $0.13 is due to a number of factors. The 2005 increase in sales provided for better
absorption of fixed costs and resulted in improved profitability on the incremental sales
growth as the Company was able to increase production without incrementally increasing its
cost structure. The first half of 2005 also contained a favorable product mix and the
Company benefited from higher by-product sales as metal prices increased significantly.
During the first six months of 2005, the Company received $235,120 in new orders in
contrast to $125,709 during the same period in 2004 and had a contract backlog of $376,511
at June 30, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

The Companys cash position as
of June 30, 2005 is $1,278 less than its position at December 31, 2004. The year-to-date
decline in cash is a result of a reduction in cash from operating activities due to
increases in accounts receivable and inventory partially offset by an increase in trade
payables and use of the revolving credit facility. In addition, cash was reduced in the
first six month of 2005 by $4,007 of capital expenditures.

On July 20, 2001, the Company sold
$30,000 of senior notes in a private placement to certain institutional investors. The
senior notes bear interest at a rate of 7.19% per annum with the interest being paid
semiannually. The senior notes have a seven-year duration with the principal amortizing
equally over the remaining duration after the third year. The Company used the proceeds
from the senior notes to repay outstanding borrowings and for working capital purposes.
The first amortization payment of $6,000 was made on July 20, 2004, the second
amortization payment of $6,000 was made on July 20, 2005.

In conjunction with the private
placement of the senior notes, the Company and a syndicate of lenders entered into a
credit facility on July 17, 2001 (the Facility). The Facility consisted of a
$50,000 revolving line of credit which bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 0.80%. On
April 12, 2002, the Facility was modified to reduce the revolving line of credit to
$45,000. On December 31, 2002, the Facility was further modified to reduce the
revolving line of credit to $25,000. The interest rate on the Facility was LIBOR plus
1.50% as of June 30, 2005. There was $1,400 of borrowings under the Facility as of June
30, 2005. The remaining $23,600 of the line of credit was available pursuant to the terms
of the Facility.

---

Page 12 of 14

On July 20, 2005, the Company and the
same lenders amended the Facility to provide for a $15,000 term loan component (the
Term Loan). The duration of the Term Loan is five years with amortization of
the Term Loan beginning in year two. The amortization is based on a ten-year payback with
a balloon payment at the end of year five. The interest rate on the Term Loan is fixed at
5.75%. The revolving line of credit was increased to $35,000 with an interest rate of
LIBOR plus 1.25%.

The Company has NOL carryforwards
that were generated prior to its 1993 reorganization, as well as NOL carryforwards that
were generated in subsequent years. The total remaining NOL carryforwards were $42,838 as
of December 31, 2004. The NOL carryforwards expire gradually in the years 2007 through
2024.

The Companys initial public
offering in March 1998 created an ownership change as defined by the IRS. This ownership
change generated an IRS imposed limitation on the utilization of NOL carryforwards on
future tax returns. The annual use of the NOL carryforwards is limited to the lesser of
the Companys taxable income or the amount of the IRS imposed limitation. The NOL
carryforwards available for use annually is $11,865. Of the $11,865 annual limitation,
$2,142 relates to a previous restriction on NOL carryforwards generated prior to the 1993
reorganization.

Realization of the 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 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 net deferred tax assets will be realized, a valuation allowance will be
established against all or part of the 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 all 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.

Item 4. Controls and
Procedures

Under the direction of the principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company has evaluated the
effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, the Company has
concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing
reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed is included on a
timely basis in the reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no significant changes in
the Companys internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2005,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.
