In April 1998, the Company restructured its credit facilities. It reduced the
previously existing $9 million revolving credit agreement, which was $6 million
on December 31, 1998 and bears interest at the bank's base rate, and also
replaced the $5.144 million term loan with a 10-year, $12 million term loan. The
term loan is repayable in quarterly payments of $0.3 million. The term loan
bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.24%, subject to adjustment if certain loan
covenants are not maintained.

The average balance outstanding against the revolving credit agreement was $3.1
million and $4.7 million during the three-month period of fiscal 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The balances outstanding under the revolving credit agreement have
been classified as long term debt. A commitment fee of 1/4% is incurred on the
remaining unused balance.

In addition, the Company has a $1.15 million credit facility, which is used for
an irrevocable letter of credit that secures the $1 million loan from an Irish
bank due October 31, 1999. The loan has a variable interest rate based on a
combination of LIBOR and DIBOR (Dublin Interbank Rates) rates.

The Company obtained a $4.1 million, 15-year, Industrial Development bond. The
proceeds of the bond were used to refund the existing Industrial Development
bond of $1.6 million and the balance of the funds are being used to expand the
Turbine Component Services and Repair facility in Tampa, Florida. The interest
rate is reset weekly, based on prevailing tax-exempt money market rates. The
first principal payment is $200,000 and increases each year until the final
payment of $355,000 in 2013. The principal payment increases by $15,000 and
$5,000 in the second and third year, respectively, and by $10,000 in the
following seven years. The bonds are secured by the property and equipment of
the facility, and backed by an irrevocable letter of credit.

Among other covenants, the Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible
net worth (as defined) of $30.0 million, increasing by 50% of net income
subsequent to September 30, 1997. Tangible net worth exceeded the required
minimum by $11.3 million at December 31, 1998.

(3)      Income Taxes:
         ------------

The provision for taxes on income, which is based on the anticipated effective
rate for the year, does not bear the customary relationship to pre-tax income
due primarily to foreign source income and net loss carry forward. Income tax
expense differs from amounts currently payable due to certain items reported for
financial statement purposes in periods which differ from those in which they
are reported for tax purposes, principally accelerated depreciation.


(4)      Deferred Federal Income Taxes:
         -----------------------------

The Company has deferred to future periods the income taxes relating to timing
differences between financial statement pre-tax income and taxable income.



                                      (6)
<PAGE>   8


(5)      Depreciation:
         -------------

For financial reporting purposes, the Company provides for depreciation of plant
and equipment, principally by the straight-line method, at annual rates
sufficient to amortize the cost over its estimated useful life. For tax
purposes, the Company uses various accelerated methods and, accordingly,
provides for the related deferred taxes. The principal rates of depreciation for
financial reporting purposes are: buildings 2% to 5%, and machinery and
equipment 5% to 33-1/3%.

(6)      Inventories:
         ------------

The Company follows the LIFO method of accounting for certain of its Forge Group
inventories. Since the LIFO inventory determination for fiscal 1999 will be
based upon year-end inventory levels and costs, the Company has provided for its
anticipated "LIFO Adjustment" based on its estimated year-end inventory levels
and costs. Under the Average Cost Method, inventories would have been $4,060,000
and $4,060,000 higher than reported at December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998,
respectively.

(7)      Other Income:
         ------------

Other income is comprised primarily of grant income from Irish government
agencies, foreign exchange gains and losses, and royalty and fee income.


(8)      Comprehensive Income
         --------------------
Effective October 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." This statement requires the disclosure of comprehensive
income, which includes net income and other comprehensive income items
previously included within separate components of shareholders' equity. Since
the undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are intended to
be permanently reinvested, taxes have not been provided for foreign currency
translation adjustments.

Comprehensive income for the three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 are
as follows:

The accompanying financial information for the three months ended December 31,
1998 has not been examined by independent public accountants. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, which requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements for the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those based upon such
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are revised as
necessary.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION

FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

We expected first quarter financial results to be slower than the record pace we
exhibited throughout most of fiscal 1998. Our expectation stemmed from an
anticipated slowdown in our Aerospace Manufacturing Group to facilitate the
conversion to synchronous manufacturing, and higher operating costs at our
Turbine Component Services and Repair Group as we brought facility operations
on-line that were completed last year. To our disappointment, market conditions
in both segments of our business caused our operating results to fall below our
expectations.

We achieved revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 of $29.5 million, a
decrease of 1.2% from the record $29.9 million posted for last year's first
quarter. Changes in product mix, pushouts of orders, and the additional overhead
from our expansions resulted in pre-tax income falling to $1.0 from $3.2 million
for the prior year period. Net income of $0.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted
share, was down from fiscal 1998 first quarter's record $2.4 million, or $0.47
per share.

MARKET CONDITIONS

The aerospace industry experienced a period of uncertainty in the second half of
1998. Worldwide economic conditions created fears about passenger traffic and
aircraft utilization that resulted in delays in orders to our manufacturing
group and the postponement of aircraft repairs. We believe these to be
temporary. Passenger traffic and aircraft utilization remain high suggesting a
growing need for repairs and a reinstatement of manufacturing orders.

We are not content, however, to simply await improvements in market conditions.
But we are instead taking full advantage of this downturn to implement measures
that will benefit SIFCO in the future, primarily through continuing to transform
our repair operations to more full service repairs and materials management for
our customers. This long-term growth strategy was enhanced by our major capital
investments in 1998. This year we are investing our time and personnel resources
to make these investments successful. We expect to begin to realize the benefits
soon and will begin using our free cash flow to reduce debt and strengthen our
balance sheet.

TURBINE COMPONENT SERVICES AND REPAIR

Softer market conditions, increased competition, and a less favorable business
mix affected revenue growth and operating profitability for the Turbine
Component Services and Repair Group. Additionally, our facility expansions,
which will allow us to increase the types and volumes of products we can repair,
have not yet achieved the desired volume levels necessary to offset their
additional operating costs.

As aircraft utilization rates remain high, postponed repairs will inevitably
need to be made, making us optimistic for stronger results. Longer-term, our
initiative to become a more full service provider will strengthen our market
position, make us more valuable to our customers, and drive future revenue and
income growth.

AEROSPACE MANUFACTURING GROUP

The implementation of synchronous manufacturing, a pushout in orders, and
customer inventory adjustment caused results for the Aerospace Manufacturing
Group to decline for the quarter. On the positive side, our efforts in
synchronous manufacturing have reduced work-in-process inventory since we began
implementation in August. These new operating procedures, shorter material
lead-times, and equipment investments have improved our flexibility,
strengthened our on-time delivery rate, and allowed us to reduce backlog on a
more just-in-time basis. Our operational enhancements give us greater confidence
that we have the flexibility and capacity to support higher volume with quicker
delivery times when market conditions improve.

OUTLOOK

While the aerospace industry is one of long and short cycles, our investments
and strategies to prepare SIFCO for long-term strength and success remain
constant and ongoing. We believe market conditions will strengthen, and are
therefore optimistic for improvements.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

         Net sales for the first quarter ended December 31, 1998 decreased to
$29.5 million from $29.9 million a year ago, or a little more than 1%. The
Company reported net income of $0.9 million compared to $2.4 million a year ago.

         Net interest expense increased to $0.3 million from $0.2 a year ago,
reflecting higher borrowing requirements for increased working capital.

         New orders received declined to $28.0 million from $31.0 million last
year while backlog declined to $40.0 million from $46.0 million a year ago.

         TURBINE COMPONENT SERVICES AND REPAIR (TCSR) net sales increased
slightly to $20.7 million from $19.5 million last year. TCSR income from
operations before corporate and interest expense decreased to $1.6 million
compared to $3.0 million last year as a result of increased operating costs
related to the Company's expansions in Ireland and Tampa, Florida and a less
profitable mix of business.

         AEROSPACE COMPONENT MANUFACTURING segment (ACM) net sales decreased to
$8.8 million from $10.5 million last year. ACM income from operations before
corporate and interest expense declined to $0.3 million from $1.0 million last
year, primarily due to the volume decline.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Working capital was $34.1 million at December 31, 1998, compared to
$30.2 million at September 30, 1998. The current ratio for the same period was
2.9 and 2.4 respectively. Total debt as a percentage of tangible shareholders'
equity was 45.3% at December 31, 1998 compared to 39.4% at September 30, 1998.

         The Company has borrowed $4.5 million against its revolving credit line
of $6.0 million at December 31, 1998. The Company considers it has adequate
financing available to meet its needs through the current year.

                          PROVISION FOR TAXES ON INCOME
                          -----------------------------

         The provision for taxes on income, which is based on the anticipated
effective rate for the year, does not bear the customary relationship to pre-tax
income, due primarily to foreign source income.

                                 YEAR 2000 ISSUE
                                 ---------------

         Based on the assessment efforts to date, the Company does not believe
that the Year 2000 issue will have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition or results of operations. The Company anticipates that it will
remediate its Year 2000 contingency plan. The Company estimates its cost to be
compliant at approximately $100,000, excluding the cost of Company information
technology employees.

         However, the Year 2000 problem is unique and the Company's Year 2000
program is based on various assumptions and expectations that cannot be assured.
The cost estimate does not include costs associated with addressing and
resolving issues as a result of the failure of third parties to become Year 2000
compliant. It would be impractical for the company to address all potential Year
2000 problems of Third Parties that, if uncorrected, could have a material
adverse impact on the Company's business.

                              SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
                              ---------------------
