Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
- ---------------------------------------------

On November 24, 1999, Precision Castparts Corp. ("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 million, based on the
number of shares acquired in the tender offer and merger at $20 per share ($731
million), PCC's tender for and subsequent payment of Wyman-Gordon's 8% Senior
Notes due 2007 ($150 million), less Wyman-Gordon's cash ($97 million) and
excluding transaction and financing costs. Wyman-Gordon is a manufacturer of
forgings and investment castings, principally for the aerospace industry. PCC
intends that Wyman-Gordon will continue this business after the acquisition.

            Pro Forma Combined Statements of Income and Balance Sheet

On November 24, 1999, Precision Castparts Corp. ("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.

PCC reports on the basis of a 52-53 week fiscal year ending the Sunday closest
to March 31, while Wyman-Gordon reported on the basis of a 52-53 week fiscal
year ending on the Saturday closest to May 31. The unaudited pro forma combined
statements of income include the fiscal year ended March 28, 1999 for PCC and
the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999 for Wyman-Gordon and includes the six months
ended September 26, 1999 for PCC and the six months ended August 31, 1999 for
Wyman-Gordon. For the statements of income, the acquisition of Wyman-Gordon and
debt incurrences and repayments are treated as if they had taken place at the
beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma combined
balance sheet at September 26, 1999 includes PCC's balance sheet as of that date
and Wyman-Gordon's balance sheet as of August 31, 1999 and treats the
Wyman-Gordon acquisition as if it had taken place on September 26, 1999. In
combining the financial information, PCC has made certain reclassifications to
Wyman-Gordon's historical financial statements to conform to PCC's presentation.
In accordance with SEC requirements, the unaudited pro forma statements of
income include only the results of ongoing operations.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read
in conjunction with PCC's historical statements, as reported in PCC's annual
report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and of Wyman-Gordon as
reported in the Form 8-K filed December 8, 1999 and in this filing on Form
8-K/A. The pro forma information is based on estimated pro forma adjustments,
which are subject to change. The pro forma information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating
results or financial position that would have occurred had the acquisition of
Wyman-Gordon been consummated in accordance with the assumptions set forth
above, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial
position.

     The average interest rates were computed using an average LIBOR rate of
     5.40% plus applicable spreads ranging from 25 to 125 basis points,
     depending on the debt instruments. Additionally, two swaps were in place to
     partially fix the interest rates of the debt. The first swap has an average
     notional balance of $412,500 swapped at a fixed rate of 6.48%, while the
     second swap has an average notional balance of $225,000 swapped at a fixed
     rate of 6.05%. The costs of these swaps were allocated to the applicable
     debt instruments, thereby increasing the average interest rates.

     For the year ended March 28, 1999, a 1/8 of 1 percent change in the
     interest rate would result in a change in interest expense of approximately
     $600. Additionally, for the six months ended September 26, 1999, a 1/8 of 1
     percent change in the interest rate would result in a change in interest
     expense of approximately $300.

(5)  Income tax expense was adjusted to reflect the expected statutory tax rates
     of PCC as follows:
