                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To The Trustees of Wyman-Gordon Company
 Savings/Investment Plan


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of the Wyman-Gordon Company Savings/Investment Plan as of December 31, 1997, and
the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Wyman-Gordon
Company Savings/Investment Plan as of December 31, 1997, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes, loans or fixed income obligations, and reportable
transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To The Trustees of Wyman-Gordon Company
Savings/Investment Plan


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of Wyman-Gordon Company Savings/Investment Plan as of December 31, 1996, and the
related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at 
December 31, 1996, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for
the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our auditS were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1996, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for the purpose of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements. The Fund Information in
the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes
in net assets available for benefits is presented for additional analysis rather
than to present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund
Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                  WYMAN-GORDON COMPANY SAVINGS/INVESTMENT PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements


1.    PLAN DESCRIPTION

      The Wyman-Gordon Company Savings/Investment Plan ("the Plan") is a single
      employer defined contribution plan covering certain employees of
      Wyman-Gordon Company ("the Company"). The Plan was established on January
      1, 1981 for the purpose of providing eligible employees with opportunities
      for (1) convenient and regular personal savings; (2) sharing in
      contributions by the Company out of its current and accumulated net
      profits; and (3) supplementing retirement benefits. The Plan is a
      contributory plan which is funded by a trust arrangement with the
      Wyman-Gordon Savings/Investment Trust (the "Trust").

      The above description of the Plan is provided for general information
      purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more
      complete information.

      (a)   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

            The Plan is administered jointly by a Plan Committee and a Plan
            Investment Committee, both of whose members are appointed by the
            Company's Chief Executive Officer.

            The Plan committees are responsible for the promulgation and
            enforcement of necessary or appropriate rules and regulations for
            the administration of the Plan, the interpretation of the terms of
            the Plan, the resolution of questions relating to an individual's
            participation in the Plan and the determination of investments for
            the participants to select as their investment alternatives.

      (b)   ELIGIBILITY

            As of January 1, 1996, all employees of the Company are eligible to
            participate in the Plan except any employee who is covered by a
            collective bargaining agreement which does not specifically call for
            their participation in this Plan. Participation can begin after a
            maximum of three months service. Prior to January 1, 1996,
            participation began after six months of service.

      (c)   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

            The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the
            Company by letter dated April 24, 1997, that the Plan and related
            Trust are designed in accordance with Section 401 of the Internal
            Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving its
            determination letter. The Company believes that the Plan is designed
            and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
            provisions of the IRC. Accordingly, no provision for taxes is
            necessary since the Trust has been determined to be exempt from
            taxation under Section 501 of the IRC.

                  WYMAN-GORDON COMPANY SAVINGS/INVESTMENT PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements


1.    PLAN DESCRIPTION (continued)

      (d)   EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS

            Upon becoming participants, eligible employees may elect to reduce
            their compensation between 1% and 15% and have such amount
            contributed to the Plan by the employer as a pre-tax contribution.
            With regard to a participant who is a Wyman-Gordon Forgings, Inc.
            (WGFI), a subsidiary of the Company, hourly employee, 20% is the
            maximum contribution. The election shall be made in advance as a
            whole percentage of compensation. Additionally, an eligible employee
            may elect to make after-tax contributions to the Plan subject to the
            percentage limitations discussed above.

            In addition, in no event shall the contributions made by or on
            behalf of a participant for a Plan year exceed certain limitations
            as required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
            (ERISA). The IRC also includes provisions which limit the amount of
            employer contributions which may be made on behalf of any individual
            participant.

      (e)   COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS

            Currently, the Company matches 50% of each participant's quarterly
            contributions to the Plan with Company stock. Amounts eligible for
            the 50% stock match are limited to 5% of the participant's salary.
            The employer may change the 50% matching rate or the 5% of
            considered pay to any other percentages including 0%. The Company
            stock match amounted to $2,322,047 and $2,172,963 in 1997 and 1996,
            respectively.

            For employees covered by the Labor Agreement with the United
            Steelworkers of America, Local 2285, subject to the attainment of
            performance goals for each quarter of the fiscal year, the Company
            will make Stock Bonus Contributions on behalf of each Participant.

            The Stock Bonus Contributions for each period are allocated among
            eligible participants in an equal dollar amount, up to a maximum of
            $0.25 for each hour worked up to a maximum of 40 hours worked per
            week. The dollar amount is determined based on the percentage
            attainment of the predetermined published quarterly performance
            goal. Such amount is zero if the percentage attainment of such goal
            is less than 90% and is 90% of the $0.25 (the maximum dollar amount)
            if the percentage attainment is equal to 90%. For each incremental
            percentage in excess of 90%, the dollar amount is increased.

            The Company is required to make each period's stock bonus
            contribution in cash or in Company stock.

            If the employer elects to make the period's stock bonus contribution
            in Company stock, the number of shares of Company stock to be
            contributed will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the
            stock bonus contribution for the period by the average price of one
            share of Company stock during the period.

1.    PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)

      (f)   PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

            Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
            contribution and allocation of the Company's contribution, Plan
            earnings, and forfeitures of terminated participants nonvested
            accounts. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account
            balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled
            is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account.

      (g)   INVESTMENT FUNDS

            Effective as of July 1, 1994, assets from the Cooper Industries,
            Inc. Savings and Stock Ownership Plan and the Cameron Iron Works,
            USA, Inc. Savings Investment Plan for Hourly Employees attributable
            to participants who prior to May 27, 1994, were employees of Cameron
            Forged Products Company and who on May 27, 1994 became employees of
            WGFI were transferred to this Plan. The assets included Cooper
            Common Stock and Cooper Preferred Stock which were held in the
            Cooper Common Stock Fund and Cooper Preferred Stock Fund,
            respectively. A participant's or beneficiary's existing investment
            in the Cooper Common Stock Fund and the Cooper Preferred Stock Fund
            as of July 1, 1994 and earnings thereon may continue to be invested
            in such funds until such time as the participant or beneficiaries
            otherwise elects to invest such portion of their accounts or the
            Administrator directs the liquidation of such funds. The Cooper
            Common Stock Fund and the Cooper Preferred Stock Fund are not
            designated as available for investment by participants or
            beneficiaries, except to the extent a participant or beneficiary is
            permitted to exchange all or a portion of their investment in the
            Cooper Preferred Stock Fund for an equivalent investment in the
            Cooper Common Stock Fund.

            On August 29, 1997, the MasterWorks Division of BGI, a wholly-owned
            subsidiary of Barclays Bank PLC, was sold to Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
            Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch"). MasterWorks is
            currently operated as a separate component of Merrill Lynch Group
            Employee Services, a division of Merrill Lynch.

            In conjunction with the MasterWorks sale, BGI remained as trustee of
            all MasterWorks plans through December 31, 1997, but delegated to
            Merrill Lynch, beginning August 30, 1997, all duties and functions
            required of BGI as a trustee of a MasterWorks client. Clients were
            provided documentation and appointed Merrill Lynch Trust Company FSB
            successor trustee of their plans effective January 1, 1998. BGI had
            no responsibility for and no involvement with MasterWorks activities
            after August 29, 1997 (except to the extent BGI acted as trustee, as
            described above, or that MasterWorks clients participated in BGI's
            managed investments or BGI performed fund accounting services).

                  AIM CONSTELLATION FUND - aggressively seeks to increase
                  shareholders' capital by investing principally in common
                  stocks, with emphasis on medium-sized and smaller emerging
                  growth companies. Management of the fund will be particularly
                  interested in companies that are likely to benefit from new or
                  innovative products, services or processes that should enhance
                  such companies' prospects for future growth in earnings.

                  MASTERWORKS INCOME ACCUMULATION FUND - invests in a mix of
                  fixed-rate and variable-rate securities with strong credit
                  ratings. The fund diversifies its investment by limiting its
                  holdings of any one issuer to 10% of the fund assets at the
                  time of purchase. This limitation does not apply to the U.S.
                  Government or its agencies. Between 25% and 50% of the fund is
                  held in publicly traded instruments.

                  NEUBERGER & BERMAN GUARDIAN TRUST - is a growth and income
                  fund that emphasizes investments in stocks of established,
                  high-quality companies considered to be undervalued in
                  comparison to stocks of similar companies.

                  MASTERWORKS LIFEPATH FUNDS

                  Each LifePath Fund seeks to provide long-term investors with
                  an asset allocation strategy designed to maximize assets for
                  retirement or for other purposes consistent with the
                  quantitatively measured risk investors, on average, may be
                  willing to accept given their investment time horizon.
                  Specifically:

                        LIFEPATH 2000 FUND - is managed for investors planning
                        to retire (or begin to withdraw substantial portions of
                        their investment) approximately in the year 2000.

                        LIFEPATH 2010 FUND - is managed for investors planning
                        to retire (or begin to withdraw substantial portions of
                        their investment) approximately in the year 2010.

                        LIFEPATH 2020 FUND - is managed for investors planning
                        to retire (or begin to withdraw substantial portions of
                        their investment) approximately in the year 2020.

                        LIFEPATH 2030 FUND - is managed for investors planning 
                        to retire (or begin to withdraw substantial portions of

      (g)   INVESTMENT FUNDS (continued)

                        LIFEPATH 2040 FUND - is managed for investors planning 
                        to retire (or begin to withdraw substantial portions of
                        their investment) approximately in the year 2040.

                  TEMPLETON FOREIGN FUND - CLASS I - seeks to achieve long-term
                  capital growth through a flexible policy of investing in
                  stocks and debt obligations of companies and governments
                  outside the United Stares.

                  MASTERWORKS ASSET ALLOCATION FUND - seeks to achieve superior
                  long-term gains at reasonable risk by actively shifting
                  investments among common stocks, U.S. Treasury Bonds and money
                  market instruments. The investment strategy of the Asset
                  Allocation Fund focuses on the relative attractiveness of
                  asset classes at given points in time. The fund uses a
                  computerized portfolio selection model to determine the
                  optimum mix among stocks, bonds and money market instruments.

                  MASTERWORKS BOND INDEX FUND - seeks to approximate, as closely
                  as practicable before fees and expenses, the total rate of
                  return of the U.S. market for issued and outstanding U.S.
                  Government and high-grade corporate bonds as measured by the
                  Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index (the LB Bond
                  Index). The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by
                  investing all of its assets in the Master Series, which has
                  substantially the same investment objective as the Fund. The
                  Master Series seeks to achieve its objective by investing
                  substantially all of its assets in securities included in the
                  LB Bond Index, which is composed of approximately 5,000 issues
                  of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government
                  securities and investment grade corporate bonds, each with an
                  outstanding market value of at least $25 million and remaining
                  maturity of greater than one year.

                  MASTERWORKS GROWTH STOCK FUND - seeks to provide investors an
                  above average rate of return as measured against the S&P 500
                  Index and against similar growth stock funds, through the
                  active management of a diversified portfolio of growth
                  oriented common stocks. The fund will invest primarily in
                  common stocks that are expected to generate above market rates
                  of growth in revenues and earnings.

                  MASTERWORKS S&P 500 STOCK FUND - seeks to achieve the same
                  total rate of return as the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Stock
                  Fund invests in the same stocks and in substantially the same
                  percentages as the S&P 500 Index. The stocks included in the
                  fund represent those held by the Index itself and do not
                  reflect subjective options concerning individual companies or
                  industries.

                  pending the purchase of Cooper stock. This fund is subject to
                  a relatively high degree of risk because it is not a
                  diversified investment and is subject to any potential
                  volatility in the price of Cooper's common stock.

                  COOPER DEBENTURE FUND - invests in convertible subordinate
                  debentures of Cooper. Amounts contributed to this fund may be
                  temporarily invested in other short-term investments pending
                  the purchase of Cooper debentures. This fund is subject to a
                  relatively high degree of risk because it is not a diversified
                  investment and is subject to any potential volatility in the
                  price of Cooper's debentures.

                  COOPER CAMERON COMMON STOCK FUND - invests in the common stock
                  of the Cooper Cameron Corporation ("Cameron"). Amounts
                  contributed to this fund may be temporarily invested in other

                  This fund is subject to a relatively high degree of risk
                  because it is not a diversified investment and is subject to
                  any potential volatility in the price of Cameron's common
                  stock.

                  WYMAN-GORDON STOCK FUND - invests in the common stock of the
                  Company, the plan sponsor. Amounts contributed to the
                  Wyman-Gordon Stock Fund may be temporarily invested in other
                  short-term investments pending the purchase of Company stock.
                  This fund is subject to a relatively high degree of risk
                  because it is not a diversified investment and is subject to
                  any potential volatility in the price of the Company's common
                  stock.

      (h)   DISTRIBUTIONS OF BENEFITS

            Participants (or their beneficiaries in the case of their death) may
            elect to have their vested account balance paid to them following
            their termination of employment with the Company, by submitting a
            completed distribution election form to the Plan Administrator.

            Participants who are WGFI hourly employees must be paid in the form
            of a single lump sum. Notwithstanding, if they are a WGFI hourly
            employee at the time they are required by law to commence
            distribution, or anytime thereafter, they may instead elect to be
            paid annually in a lump sum in an amount sufficient to comply with
            Code Section 401(a)(9).

                  (b)   effective January 1, 1993, a portion paid in a lump sum,
                        and the remainder paid later, or

            Distributions must be made in cash, except to the extent of the
            distribution of any participant outstanding loan balance, if any and

      (j)   WITHDRAWALS

            Withdrawals may only be made in accordance with the terms of the

            earnings are subject to approval by the Plan Administrator based

            outstanding plan loan balance during the one-year period preceding
            the date of the new loan. The loans bear interest at market rates
            and are repaid in regular installments within five years. Early
            prepayment is allowed.

      (l)   FORFEITURES

                          Notes to Financial Statements


2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
      the Plan in preparation of its financial statements. The financial
      statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles.

      (a)   USE OF ESTIMATES

            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
            accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
            and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
            statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
            those estimates.

      (b)   VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

            The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. The fair value of
            investments is generally determined as follows:

            -     Units of Merrill Lynch collective investment funds are valued
                  on the basis of the unit value established for each fund at 
                  each valuation date. Valuation of the funds' units occurs, at
                  a minimum, on a monthly basis. Unit values are determined by
                  dividing the value of the funds' net assets by the number of
                  units outstanding on the valuation date.

            -     Stocks and mutual funds traded on security exchanges are
                  valued at closing market prices on the valuation date.

      (c)   SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME

            Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest
            income is accounted for on the daily accrual basis. Dividend income
            is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of securities sold is
            computed on an average cost basis.

      (d)   INVESTMENT INCOME

            Net investment income, as earned, is allocated to participant
            accounts and reinvested. The Plan presents, in the Statements of
            Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits, net appreciation
            (depreciation) of the fair value of investments which consists of
            the realized gains and losses and the unrealized appreciation
            (depreciation) on those investments. Income from investments is
            recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

      (e)   PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF UNITS

            The value of participating units, upon admission to or withdrawal
            from the funds, is based upon the fair value of net assets held as
            of the valuation date. Upon purchase or redemption of units by a
            participant, transaction costs incurred for the related security
            transactions are borne by that participant.

      (f)   EXPENSES

            Account maintenance, transaction fees and expenses and investment
            fund management and maintenance fees are paid by the Plan and
            charged to the participants accounts; all other fees are paid by the
            Company.

      (g)   RECLASSIFICATIONS

            Where appropriate, prior year amounts have been reclassified to
            permit comparison.

3.    PLAN LIABILITIES

      BGI uses a daily valuation method whereby all account activity and related
      transactions take place on the same day as the day of record. Therefore,
      all benefit payments to participants or Plan expenses are paid from the
      various funds on a current basis and at December 31, 1997 and 1996, there
      were no accrued liabilities for the Plan.

4.    INVESTMENTS

      The fair value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the
      Plan's net assets are as follows:

                          Notes to Financial Statements


(5)   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      Certain Plan investments are units of collective investment funds managed
      by the MasterWorks Division of BGI, now owned by Merrill Lynch. Merrill
      Lynch and BGI were the trustees, as defined by the Plan, as of December
      31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and, therefore, these transactions
      qualify as party-in-interest. Fees paid by the Plan for the investment
      management services amounted to $138,634 and $94,665 for the years ended
      December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

(6)   TERMINATED EMPLOYEES

      Net assets available for plan benefits at December 31, 1997 include
      $9,324,282 allocated to the accounts of persons who, as of or prior to
      that date, have terminated employment with the Company.

(7)   PLAN AMENDMENTS

      During 1997 the Plan was amended. Among the changes were the definition of
      limitations on the maximum annual additions to a participant's account,
      designation of trustee, use of forfeitures, definition of compensation,
      loans in default and company contributions.
