SIFCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of SIFCO Industries, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The U.S.
dollar is the functional currency for all of the Companys U.S. operations and its Irish subsidiary. For these operations, all gains and losses from completed currency transactions are included in income currently. For the Company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 unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.

These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Companys fiscal 2010 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year. Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified in order to
conform to current period classifications.

B. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has awarded stock options under its shareholder approved 1995 Stock Option Plan (1995 Plan) and 1998 Long-term Incentive Plan (1998 Plan). No further options may be
awarded under either the 1995 Plan or the 1998 Plan. Option exercise price is not less than fair market value on date of grant and options are exercisable no later than ten years from date of grant. All options awarded under both plans are fully
vested as of December 31, 2010.

Aggregate option activity is as follows:

As of December 31, 2010, there
was no unrecognized compensation cost related to the stock options granted under either the 1995 or 1998 Plans.

The Company has also awarded
performance shares under its shareholder approved 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2007 Plan). The aggregate number of shares that may be awarded under the 2007 Plan was 250,000 at December 31, 2010, subject to an adjustment for the
forfeiture of any issued shares. Subsequent to December 31, 2010, the Company, with the approval of its shareholders, increased such aggregate number of shares to 600,000. In addition, shares that may be awarded are subject to individual
recipient award limitations. The shares awarded under the 2007 Plan may be made in multiple forms including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock, and performance related shares. Any such awards are exercisable
no later than ten years from date of grant.

The performance shares that have been awarded under the 2007 Plan generally provide for the
issuance of the Companys common shares upon the Company achieving certain defined financial performance objectives during a period up to three years following the making of such award. The ultimate number of common shares of the Company that
may be earned

---

pursuant to an award ranges from a minimum of no shares to a maximum of 150% of the initial number of performance shares awarded, depending on the level of the Companys achievement of its
financial performance objectives.

Compensation expense is being accrued at (i) 100% of the target levels for recipients of the
performance shares awarded during fiscal 2010 and (ii) 0% to 50% of the target levels for recipients of the performance shares awarded during fiscal 2009. During each future reporting period, such expense may be subject to adjustment based upon
the Companys subsequent estimate of the number of common shares that it expects to issue upon the completion of the performance period. The performance shares were valued at the closing market price of the Companys common shares on the
date of grant, and the vesting of such shares is determined at the end of the performance period. Compensation expense related to all performance shares awarded under the 2007 Plan was $54 and $58 during the first three months of fiscal 2011 and
2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, there was $339 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the performance shares awarded under the 2007 Plan. The Company expects to recognize this cost over the next 1.8 years.

The following is a summary of activity related to performance shares:

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company approved the award of an additional 52,600 performance
shares, which shares are to be issued subsequent to December 31, 2010.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method for 39% and 58% of the Companys inventories at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The first-in, first-out (FIFO) method is used for the remainder of the inventories. If the FIFO method had been
used for the inventories for which cost is determined using the LIFO method, inventories would have been $7,537 and $7,495 higher than reported at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

4. Long-Term Debt

In December 2010, SIFCO entered into a new five (5) year revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a bank in the maximum amount of $30.0 million, secured by substantially all
the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the stock of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Borrowing under the Credit Agreement (i) bears interest at a rate equal to Libor plus 0.75% to 1.75%, with such % being based on
the Companys leverage ratio - measured as the ratio of outstanding indebtedness to EBITDA, (ii) is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.25% on the unused balance and (iii) is subject to certain customary financial
covenants including, without limitation, covenants that require the Company to not exceed a maximum leverage ratio and to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. At December 31, 2010, the interest rate was a Libor based rate, as defined
in the Credit Agreement, plus 1.00%, or 1.4%. In December 2010, the Company also cancelled its then existing $8.0 million revolving credit facility. The Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants as of December 31, 2010.

5. Government Grants

In the past, the Company has received grants from certain government entities as an incentive to invest in facilities, research and employees. Capital
grants are amortized into income over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Employment grants are amortized into income over five years. The unamortized portion of deferred grant revenue recorded in other long-term liabilities at
December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 was $374 and $401, respectively. The majority of the Companys grants are denominated in Euros. The Company adjusts its deferred grant revenue balance in response to currency exchange rate
fluctuations for as long as such grants are treated as obligations.

6. Income Taxes

For each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate it expects to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This
estimated effective rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. The Companys projected effective tax rate is 35% and 37% in the first quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, and differs from the U.S. federal
rate due primarily to (i) the impact of state and local income taxes, (ii) a domestic production activities deduction, and (iii) the recognition of U.S. federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries. The
income tax provision consists of the following:

Through December 31, 2010, the Company has made contributions in the amount of $234 to its defined benefit pension
plans and, in addition, has used carryover balance credits in the amount of $141 to reduce the amount of additional contributions that would otherwise have been required. The Company has carryover balances from previous periods that may be available
for use as a credit to reduce the amount of contributions that the Company is required to make to certain of its defined benefit pension plans during the balance of fiscal 2011. The Company anticipates making $696 of additional contributions to fund
its defined benefit pension plans during the balance of fiscal 2011.

9. Business Acquisition

On December 10, 2010, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TWF Acquisition, LLC  now known as T&W Forge, LLC (T&W Forge), the Company completed the purchase of the forging
business and substantially all related operating assets from T&W Forge, Inc. (TWF). T&W Forge operates in TWFs Alliance, Ohio facility under a long-term, below market lease arrangement, with an option to purchase the
facility at a nominal price. T&W Forge engages in the production and sale of certain metal products and services produced primarily to the specific design requirements of its customers. The products include various forged components used
principally in the industrial gas turbine market. The purchase price for the business and related assets of TWF was approximately $22.7 million, subject to certain adjustments related principally to the final working capital level. In addition,
T&W Forge assumed certain current operating liabilities of TWF.

The purchase transaction is accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. The final purchase price will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their fair values when appraisals, other studies and additional information become available. The preliminary allocation of the purchase
price and the estimated goodwill and intangible assets, all of which belong to the ACM Group, are as follows:

A. Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 2010 compared with
Three Months Ended December 31, 2009

Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 0.4% to $21.4 million, compared with
$21.3 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. Net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $1.2 million, compared with $2.0 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. On December 10, 2010, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, TWF Acquisition, LLC  now known as T&W Forge, LLC (T&W Forge), the Company completed the purchase of the forging business and substantially all related operating assets from T&W Forge, Inc.
(TWF).

Aerospace Component Manufacturing Group (ACM Group)

The ACM Groups results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 include the results of T&W Forge from the date of its acquisition. Net sales in
the first quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased 3.2% to $15.7 million, compared with $16.2 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2010. 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. The ACM Group produces turbine engine components for small aircraft such as business and regional jets, military transport and surveillance
aircraft. Turbine engine components are also produced for armored military vehicles powered by small turbine engines. Net sales comparative information for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, is as follows:

The increase in net sales of small turbine engine components during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the
comparable period in fiscal 2010, is primarily attributable to increased demand for components for turbine engines that power small aircraft. The decrease in net sales of airframe components for both small and large aircraft, as well as turbine
engine components for large aircraft, during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the comparable period in fiscal 2010, is principally due to a decrease in the sales volumes of such components to customers. Such volume declines were
caused by



11

continuing overall weak global economic conditions that resulted in reduced build rates of commercial aircraft. The increase in commercial product net sales is due primarily to the impact of the
recent acquisition of TWF.

The ACM Groups airframe and turbine engine component products have both military and commercial
applications. Net sales of such components that solely have military applications were $7.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $9.6 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. This decrease is primarily attributable to a
decline in the sales volume of such components associated with several military programs. Ongoing wartime demand, such as for additional military helicopters and related replacement components, is the primary driver of net sales of the components
that have military applications.

The ACM Groups selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million to
$1.2 million, or 7.4% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $1.0 million, or 6.2% of net sales, in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is principally
due to (i) increased depreciation and consulting costs related to the recently implemented company-wide management information system and (ii) $0.1 million amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of TWF, partially
offset by (iii) lower variable selling expenses as a result of lower net sales.

The ACM Groups operating income decreased $1.4
million to $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $3.5 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The following is a comparison of operating income on both a LIFO and FIFO basis:

Operating income was negatively impacted in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 by the raw material component of manufacturing
costs being approximately 40.5% of net sales, compared with 36.8% of net sales in the comparable period in fiscal 2010, due primarily to product mix. Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the comparable period in fiscal
2010, was also negatively impacted by lower production levels, due to lower sales volumes. The lower production levels resulted in the ACM Groups fixed manufacturing cost structure being allocated to fewer units of production resulting in
higher per unit overhead expenses. Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was further negatively impacted by $0.1 million of additional amortization and depreciation of acquired assets and $0.1 million recognition of the cost related
to the inventory fair value write-up related to the acquisition of TWF. The following changes in the components of the ACM Groups manufacturing expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the same period in fiscal 2010,
also contributed to the decline in operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2011:

In the first quarter of fiscal 2011,
compared with the comparable period in fiscal 2010, manufacturing costs were negatively impacted by (i) an increase in water consumption; (ii) an increase in expenditures for repairs, maintenance and supplies; (iii) an increase in
depreciation expense primarily due to the effect of recent capital expenditures for equipment; and (iv) an increase in expenditures primarily for new tooling.

The ACM Groups backlog as of December 31, 2010 was $89.9 million, compared with $71.2 million as of September 30, 2010. At December 31, 2010, $73.1 million of the total backlog was
scheduled for delivery over the next twelve months. $15.6 million of the ACM Groups backlog as of December 31, 2010 is attributable to the recent acquisition of TWF. All orders are subject to modification or cancellation by the customer
with limited charges. Delivery lead times for certain raw materials (e.g. aerospace grades of steel and titanium alloy) continue to lengthen due to increased demand and the ACM



12



---

Group believes that such lead time increase may ultimately result in a fundamental shift in the ordering pattern of its customers. The ACM Group believes that a likely consequence of such a shift
is that customers may be placing orders further in advance than they more recently did, which may result in an increase, relative to comparable prior year periods, in the ACM Groups backlog. Accordingly, such backlog increase, to the extent it
may occur, is not necessarily indicative of actual sales expected for any succeeding period.

Turbine Component Services and Repair
Group (Repair Group)

Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which consists principally of component repair
services (including precision component machining and industrial coating) for small aerospace turbine engines, increased 10.4% to $2.4 million, compared with $2.2 million in the comparable fiscal 2010 period.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Repair Groups selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.3 million, or 14.3% of net sales,
compared with $0.3 million, or 14.4% of net sales, in the comparable fiscal 2010 period.

The Repair Groups operating results in the
first quarters of both fiscal 2011 and 2010 were essentially breakeven. The breakeven results in both periods were principally attributable to relatively low sales volume levels in relation to the fixed portion of the Repair Groups operating
cost structure.

The Repair Groups backlog as December 31, 2010 was $2.3 million, compared with $3.1 million as of
September 30, 2010. At December 31, 2010, $1.4 million of the total backlog was scheduled for delivery over the next twelve months.

Applied Surface Concepts Group (ASC Group)

Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 13.3% to $3.3 million, compared with $2.9 million in the comparable fiscal 2010 period. For purposes of the following discussion, (i) product
net sales consist of selective electrochemical metal finishing equipment and solutions and (ii) contract service net sales consist of customized selective electrochemical metal finishing services. Net sales comparative information for the first
quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, is as follows:

The increase in product net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the same period in fiscal 2010, is
attributed to the additional volume of products, including power packs, supplies and auxiliary equipment, sold to new and existing customers. The weak yet recovering global economic conditions, particularly in Europe, continued to affect contract
service net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. A portion of the ASC Groups business is conducted in Europe and is denominated in local European currencies, which have weakened in relation to the U.S. dollar, resulting in an unfavorable
currency impact on net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 of approximately $0.1 million, compared with the comparable period in fiscal 2010.

The ASC Groups selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.1 million, or 34.0% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $1.1 million, or 37.6% of net sales in the
comparable fiscal 2010 period.

The ASC Groups operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $0.2 million, compared with
breakeven results in the same period in fiscal 2010. This improvement in operating income is principally due to the favorable impact on margins from increased sales volumes and efficiencies that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared
to the same period in fiscal 2010.

The ASC Group backlog December 31, 2010 was not material, which is consistent with the nature of this
business.

Corporate Unallocated Expenses

Corporate unallocated expenses, consisting of corporate salaries and benefits, legal and professional and other expenses that are not related to and, therefore, not allocated to the business segments,
were $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011,



13



---

compared with $0.5 million in the same period in fiscal 2010 principally due to the following changes in certain components of these expenses:



|                                  |  |                                 |     |  |          |   |     |            |  |   |     |

The increase in corporate unallocated
expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 is principally due to (i) an increase in compensation and related benefit expenses and (ii) higher legal and professional expenses due to costs
associated with the acquisition of TWF.

Other/General

Interest expense was nominal in the first quarters of both fiscal 2011 and 2010. As described more fully in note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into a
new $30.0 million revolving credit agreement with its bank in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. In connection with the December 2010 acquisition of TWF, the Company borrowed $11.7 million from its revolving credit agreement.

Other income, net consists principally of $0.1 million of rental income earned from the lease of the Cork, Ireland facility.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $10.4 million to $8.3 million at December 31, 2010 from $18.7 million at September 30, 2010, while
short-term investments remained at $3.0 million at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, $5.9 million of the Companys cash and cash equivalents are in the possession of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Distributions from the
Companys non-U.S. subsidiaries to the Company may be subject to statutory restriction, adverse tax consequences or other limitations.

The Companys operating activities provided $2.1 million of cash in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared with $2.4 million of cash provided by
operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The $2.1 million of cash provided by operating activities in first quarter of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to (i) net income of $1.2 million, (ii) $0.6 million from the
impact of such non-cash items as depreciation and amortization expense, deferred taxes and LIFO expense; (iii) a $1.1 million reduction in accounts receivable, (iv) a $0.7 million reduction in inventories and (v) a $0.6 million
decrease in refundable income taxes. These items were partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. These changes in the components of working capital do not take into consideration the impact of the opening
balance sheet related to the acquisition of TWF and were due primarily to factors resulting from normal business conditions of the Company, including (i) the relative timing of collections from customers and (ii) the relative timing of
payments to suppliers and tax authorities.

Capital expenditures were $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared with $1.9
million in the comparable fiscal 2010 period. Capital expenditures during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 consist of $0.6 million by the ACM Group and less than $0.1 million by both the ASC Group and Repair Group. In addition to the $0.7 million
expended during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, $0.7 million has been committed as of December 31, 2010. The Company anticipates that total fiscal 2011 capital expenditures will be within the range of $4.0 to $5.0 million and will relate
principally to the expansion of the ACM Groups production capabilities.

As described more fully in Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements, the Company acquired a forging business in December 2010 for approximately $22.7 million. The acquisition was financed by using $11.0 million of the Companys cash reserves and borrowing $11.7 million from its
revolving credit facility.

In December 2010, SIFCO entered into a new five (5) year revolving credit agreement (the Credit
Agreement) with a bank in the maximum amount of $30.0 million, secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the stock of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Borrowing under the Credit Agreement
(i) bears interest at a rate equal to Libor plus 0.75% to 1.75%, with such % being based on the Companys leverage ratio - measured as the ratio of outstanding indebtedness to EBITDA, (ii) is subject to a commitment fee ranging from
0.10% to 0.25% on the unused balance and (iii) is subject to certain customary financial covenants including, without limitation, covenants that require the



14



---

Company to not exceed a maximum leverage ratio and to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. At December 31, 2010, the interest rate was a Libor based rate, as defined in the credit
agreement, plus 1.00%, or 1.4%. In December 2010, the Company also cancelled its then existing $8.0 million revolving credit facility. The Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants as of December 31, 2010.

The Company believes that cash flows from its operations together with existing cash reserves and the funds available under its revolving credit
agreement will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements through the end of fiscal year 2011.

C. Impact of Newly Issued
Accounting Standards

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standard
Update (ASU) No. 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations  a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,to amend FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 805, Business Combinations, regarding how public entities disclose supplemental pro forma information for business combinations that occur during the current year. Under the amended guidance, a public entity that presents
comparative financial statements must disclose the revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual reporting period and it also
requires public entities to provide a description of the nature and amount of any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to business combination(s) that are included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This
update is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of
this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2010-28, which will impact all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendments in this
ASU modify Step 1 so that for those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that
goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting
unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. This update is effective for fiscal years and interim
periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

As defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures include components of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. In designing and evaluating the
disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to
apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Management of the Company, under the
supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of December 31, 2010 (the Evaluation Date). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures were effective. Accordingly, management has concluded that the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Companys financial position, results
of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the following occurred:



| |  |  | The Company completed the implementation and evaluation of a new enterprise software system, which implementation addressed the missing and/or
ineffective controls that (i) existed under the prior system and (ii) gave rise to the material internal control weakness that existed at September 30, 2010.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



15



---

| |  |  | On December 10, 2010, the Company acquired the forging business and related assets from T&W Forge, Inc., which operated under its own sets of
systems and internal controls. The Company is maintaining those systems and much of the internal control environment until such time that it is able to incorporate the acquired processes into the Companys own control environment. The Company
expects to complete the incorporation of the acquired operations, as they relate to systems and internal controls, into its systems and control environment during fiscal 2011.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There were no other changes to the Companys internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2010, which would
be expected to have a material effect on financial reporting
