Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
(In millions, except per share data)

(1)      Basis of Presentation

         The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by
         Precision Castparts Corp. ("PCC" or the "Company"), without audit and
         subject to year-end adjustment, in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles, except that certain information and footnote
         disclosures made in the latest annual report have been condensed or
         omitted for the interim statements. Certain costs are estimated for the
         full year and allocated in interim periods based on estimates of
         operating time expired, benefit received, or activity associated with
         the interim period. The consolidated financial statements reflect all
         adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
         fair representation of the results for the interim periods. Certain
         reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to
         the current year presentation.


(2)      Acquisitions and Dispositions of Businesses

         Acquisitions

         The following acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method of
         accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations have been
         included in the Consolidated Statements of Income since the acquisition
         dates. All of the acquisitions were cash transactions. Pro forma
         information is provided for the fiscal 2000 Wyman-Gordon acquisition
         due to its size.

         Fiscal 2001

         The Company completed three acquisitions during the first quarter.

         Fastener Engineering Group, of Rockford, Illinois, a designer and
         manufacturer of wire-processing equipment, is operated as part of the
         Industrial Products segment. The purchase price of $5.3 million
         generated $1.1 million of goodwill, which is being amortized on a
         straight-line basis over 40 years.

                                                                         Page 8

         ConVey Engineering, located in Germany, is a manufacturer of
         double-eccentric heavy-duty valves which was acquired as a
         complementary line of the Fluid Management Products segment. The
         purchase price of $0.5 million generated $0.5 million of goodwill,
         which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

         Aero, the aerospace division of United Engineering Forgings, is located
         in Lincoln, England. Aero, a manufacturer of aircraft engine discs,
         shafts and engine-mounting brackets has been renamed Wyman-Gordon
         Lincoln and is included in the operations of the Forged Products
         segment. The purchase price of $34.3 million generated $23.9 million of
         goodwill, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
         years.

         Fiscal 2000

         During the third quarter, PCC purchased 98% of the outstanding shares
         of common stock of Wyman-Gordon Company ("Wyman-Gordon") pursuant to a
         cash tender offer. PCC acquired the remaining outstanding shares of
         common stock of Wyman-Gordon pursuant to a merger on January 12, 2000.
         The transaction, financed from borrowings under Credit Agreements with
         Bank of America, N.A., as Agent, was valued at approximately $784.0
         million, reflecting shares acquired in the tender offer and merger at
         $20 per share ($731.0 million), PCC's tender for and subsequent payment
         of Wyman-Gordon's 8% Senior Notes due 2007 ($150.0 million), less
         Wyman-Gordon's cash ($97.0 million). The transaction generated goodwill
         of approximately $571.0 million. Wyman-Gordon, headquartered in
         Grafton, Massachusetts, is the market leader in high-quality,
         technologically advanced forgings for aircraft engine components, and
         is also a leading manufacturer of investment castings for the aerospace
         industry and forgings for the IGT and energy markets. Wyman-Gordon's
         casting businesses operates as part of the Investment Cast Products
         segment, and the forging businesses comprise the Forged Products
         segment.

         Pursuant to an FTC consent order regarding PCC's purchase of
         Wyman-Gordon, the large cast parts operations of Wyman-Gordon in
         Groton, Connecticut, was divested at the adjusted net book value
         recorded at the time of purchase of Wyman-Gordon. In addition,
         pursuant to the FTC consent order, PCC divested the titanium
         investment casting operation located in Albany, Oregon.

         The following represents the pro forma results of the ongoing
         operations for PCC and Wyman-Gordon as though the acquisition of
         Wyman-Gordon had occurred at the beginning of the period shown. The
         pro forma information, however, is not necessarily indicative of the
         results which would have resulted had the acquisition occurred at the
         beginning of the period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative
         of future results.

</TABLE>

         Results for the three months ended July 2, 2000 include the full
         quarter's results from acquisitions.

         During the third quarter, PCC acquired the stock of Valtaco, which is
         headquartered in Switzerland. Valtaco manufactures quarter-turn,
         three-piece ball valves and sells these valves along with complementary
         valve products through subsidiaries in Switzerland, Germany and
         Scotland. The purchase price of $7.0 million generated $4.2 million of
         goodwill. Valtaco operates as part of the Fluid Management Products
         segment.

         During the third quarter, PCC acquired the assets of Reiss Engineering,
         which is located in England. Reiss manufactures quarter-turn knife gate
         valves and operates as part of the Fluid Management Products segment.
         The purchase price of $2.7 million generated $1.9 million of goodwill.

         During the fourth quarter, PCC acquired the stock of Technova AG,
         headquartered in Switzerland, and its two subsidiaries. Technova AG
         manufactures high-performance engineered plastic or polymer lined
         valves for systems designed to handle corrosive and/or abrasive fluids
         and pure liquids. The subsidiaries are sales and distribution
         operations, which are located in Germany and the U.S. The purchase
         price of $14.0 million generated $8.0 million of goodwill. The Company
         also acquired a small U.S.-based distributor, MMG, for $0.3 million.
         Technova and MMG operate as part of the Fluid Management Products
         segment.

         Dispositions

         During the third quarter, pursuant to the FTC consent order, the
         Company divested the large cast operation of Wyman-Gordon at the
         adjusted net book value recorded at the time of purchase of
         Wyman-Gordon.

         During the fourth quarter, the Company sold the titanium castings
         operation of Wyman-Gordon as required under the FTC Consent Order for
         $26.6 million. Prior to completing this transaction, the Company
         purchased the minority interest in the titanium casting operation from
         Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET). Also during the fourth quarter,
         the Company sold the Water Specialties business for $12.7 million and
         the Penberthy business for $20.0 million. Water Specialties and
         Penberthy were considered to be non-core to the Fluid Management
         Segment. These dispositions resulted in no significant gain or loss for
         the Company.

(5) Financing Arrangements

       During the first quarter, the 8.75% Notes due fiscal 2005 issued under
       Rule 144A with registration rights were exchanged for 8.75% Notes due
       2005 as registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
               Results of Operations

Consolidated Results of Operations - Comparison Between Three Months Ended July
2, 2000 and June 27, 1999

Sales of $549.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were up 53 percent
from $359.0 million in the same quarter last year. Operating income of $67.8
million was up 60 percent from $42.5 million in the first quarter last year. Net
income was $28.3 million, or $1.13 per share (diluted), for the quarter,
compared with net income of $22.3 million, or $0.91 per share (diluted) in the
same quarter last year.

<PAGE>
                                                                        Page 12

Net interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $20.6 million,
as compared with $6.8 million for the first quarter last year. The higher
expense is primarily due to increased debt levels used to fund the
acquisition of Wyman-Gordon in fiscal 2000.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was 40 percent,
as compared with 37.5 percent for the first quarter last year. The increase
in the rate for the current year is primarily due to non-deductible goodwill
related to the acquisition of Wyman-Gordon.

Results of Operations by Segment - Comparison Between Three Months Ended July
2, 2000 and June 27, 1999

With the acquisition of Wyman-Gordon, PCC reorganized the Company's business
segments along its four major product lines. Financial results are reported
in the following four segments: Investment Cast Products, Forged Products,
Fluid Management Products and Industrial Products.

Investment Cast Products

Investment Cast Products increased sales quarter over quarter by 18 percent,
from $235.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to $278.7 million
this year. Operating income for the segment improved by 30 percent, from
$37.2 million in the first quarter a year ago to $48.4 million in fiscal
2001. The increase in sales is due to the addition of Wyman-Gordon Castings,
which was acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2000, and due to the
recovery of aircraft engine sales and rapid growth in the industrial gas
turbine market. In addition, recent opportunities, such as airframe
components and aluminum castings, are starting to have an impact on top-line
growth. The favorable operating income resulted from the higher sales level
coupled with higher margins related to IGT programs and to continued
realization of increased synergies related to the acquisition of Wyman-Gordon.

Forged Products

Forged Products' sales amounted to $145.8 million for the quarter, with an
operating income of $21.9 million. Since this segment consists entirely of
operations purchased as part of the Wyman-Gordon acquisition in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000, there are no comparative first quarter results. This
segment's first quarter sales and operating income improved 1 percent and 16
percent, respectively, over fourth quarter 2000 results.

<PAGE>

                                                                        Page 13

Forged Products, which serves the same major markets as Investment Cast
Products, is also enjoying some of the recovery in its aerospace business.
The improved operating income reflects the significant cost savings
instituted since the acquisition of Wyman-Gordon by the Company, which
include both higher productivity and manufacturing and administrative
synergies.

Fluid Management Products

Fluid Management Products' sales improved slightly from $73.3 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 to $75.3 million this year. Operating income
declined, dropping from $4.9 million last year to $2.6 million in the first
quarter of this year. Fiscal 2001 first quarter sales are comparable to
fourth quarter 2000 results, while operating income is beginning to trend
upward. The sales increase was due to improved sales in the construction and
oil field services markets. The decline in operating income was due to lower
profits in Europe, where pricing and volume issues negatively impacted the
quarter.

Industrial Products

Industrial Products' sales of $49.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal
2001 were consistent with the $49.9 million in the comparable prior year
period. Operating income fell by 44 percent, from $3.2 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 to $1.8 million in the first quarter of this year. The
decline in operating income was due to lower sales in the pulp and paper
market, which traditionally has higher margins than other markets in the
Industrial Products segment, coupled with continued difficulties in the machine
tool business in Europe. Restructuring efforts in Europe, which were started
in the fourth quarter of last year and were continued this quarter, have
started to provide cost improvements.

Changes in Financial Condition and Liquidity

Total assets of $2,473.1 million at July 2, 2000 represented a $57.4 million
increase from the $2,415.7 million balance at April 2, 2000. Total
capitalization at July 2, 2000, was $1,896.9 million, consisting of $1,101.1
million of debt and $795.8 million of equity. The debt-to-capitalization
ratio remained constant from the end of the prior fiscal year at 58 percent.

Cash from earnings for the three months ended July 2, 2000 of $54.4 million,
plus $22.8 million of debt proceeds, $8.0 million from short-term borrowings,
and $0.9 million from the sale of common stock through stock option exercises
exceeded cash requirements which consisted of $37.7 million for business
acquisitions, $20.5 million for increased working capital, $14.5 million for
capital expenditures, and $1.4 million for dividends. The net increase in the
quarter's cash resulted in an ending cash balance of $27.7 million, up $10.1
million from fiscal 2000 year end. Management believes that the Company can
fund the requirements for capital spending, cash dividends and potential
acquisitions from cash balances, borrowing from existing or new bank credit
facilities, issuance of public or privately placed debt securities, or the
issuance of stock.
