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 March 31, 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
$4,340 and $1,775 as of March 31, 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 37.3% and 36.8%, respectively. The principal difference, if any, from the
expected federal tax rate of 35% 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.

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

The components of net periodic
benefit costs recognized for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
are presented in the table below.

|                                  
|----------------------------------
|2008                              
|Service cost                      
|Interest cost                     
|Expected return on plan assets    
|Amortization of prior service cost
|Amortization of the net loss      
|                                  
|Net periodic benefit cost         
|                                  

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 March 31, 2008, the Company
has made $807 of contributions to the pension plans versus $11,124 during the same period
in 2007.

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, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

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.

The Company and a syndicate of
Lenders have entered into a revolving credit facility (the Facility) which was
most recently renewed on April 28, 2007. The Facility consists of a $35,000 unsecured
revolving line of credit which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.25%. At
March 31, 2008, there were $11,100 of borrowings under the Facility and $23,900 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 three months
ended March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, 7,336 options granted under the Plan
remain outstanding and exercisable. During the first three months of 2008, 25,000 options
were exercised (for cash of $206) and shares were issued from Treasury Stock.

|(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, five
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
|---- | -----------------------------

FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No.
109, requires that an enterprise evaluate all tax positions recognized in that
enterprises financial statements for any uncertainty that the tax positions will not
be sustained under examination. The evaluation process is twofold. First, an enterprise
must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained
upon examination. Secondly, the enterprise must measure the amount of benefit to recognize
in its financial statements for tax positions which meet the more likely than not
threshold. FASB Interpretation No. 48 became effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. For the three-month period ending March 31, 2008, the Company does not
believe there is any uncertainty with respect to the tax positions reflected in its
financial statements which would result in a material change in the amount of benefit
recognized in the financial statements; therefore, no provision has been made for the
adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter 2008
Compared to First Quarter 2007

Net sales for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 were $117,197 compared to $97,666 for the same period in 2007. The 20%
increase in net sales for the first 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 first
quarter of 2007 were negatively impacted by equipment downtime. Gross profit for the first
quarter of 2008 decreased to 12.6% of net sales in contrast to 14.0% of net sales in the
first quarter of 2007 primarily as a result of the increased raw material costs in the
first quarter of 2008 in comparison to the same period in 2007 thereby decreasing gross
profit as a percent of net sales. In addition, gross profits for the first quarter of 2008
were negatively impacted by reduced by-product sales, higher energy expenses and reduced
productivity associated with the learning curve of new employees.

Selling, general and administrative
expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 3.8% for the first quarter of 2008 compared
to 4.0% for the same period in 2007. The percentage decrease in SG&A expenses between
the periods was attributable to the Company supporting a 20% increase in sales while
maintaining indirect expense levels.

Interest expense for the first
quarter of 2008 was $439 in contrast to $798 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 level of debt. During the first 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 and Series B senior notes bore interest at the rate of 7.19% and
6.14%, respectively, per annum. The Company had $11,100 of borrowings under the revolving
line of credit facility and had $46,000 of senior notes outstanding at the end of the
first quarter of 2008.

The 2008 and 2007 first quarter
income tax provisions are based on effective tax rates of 37.3% and 36.8%, respectively.
At December 31, 2007, the Company has $2,142 of net operating loss (NOL)
carryforwards which reduce current 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
first quarter of 2008 was $5,983, approximately the same as the first quarter of 2007.
Profitability, as a percentage of net sales, declined in the period due to the higher raw
material prices in 2008. The Companys contract backlog at March 31, 2008 was
$630,527 as the Company received $132,714 of new orders in the first quarter of 2008, in
comparison to backlogs of $551,082 and $610,979 at March 31, 2007 and December 31,
2007, respectively, and $150,357 of new orders in the first quarter of 2007.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

The Companys cash position as
of March 31, 2008 is $1,216 more than its position at December 31, 2007. For the
first three months of 2008, the Company generated $4,575 of cash from operating activities
in contrast to producing $6,942 of cash for operations in the same period of 2007. The
Company expended $7,751 and $5,846 of cash on capital expenditures in the first three
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, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

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.

In addition, the Company and a
syndicate of Lenders have entered into the revolving credit facility which was most
recently renewed on April 25, 2008. The revolving credit facility consists of a
$35,000 unsecured revolving line of credit which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus
1.25%. At March 31, 2008, there were $11,100 of borrowings under the revolving credit
facility and $23,900 of credit was available pursuant to the terms of the revolving credit
facility.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company
has 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.

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 March 31, 2008. 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 March 31, 2008,
