((2) - continued)


The Company has an available revolving credit agreement in the amount of $6.0
million as of June 30, 2000. The revolving credit agreement bears interest at
the bank's base rate. The average balance outstanding against the revolving
credit agreement was $257,000 and $2.8 million during the nine-month periods of
fiscal 2000 and 1999, 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.

The Company has a 10-year, $12.0 million term note payable. The term note
payable requires quarterly payments of 300,000 and bears interest at a fixed
rate of 7.24%, subject to adjustment if certain loan covenants are not
maintained.

The Company has outstanding $4.1 million of 15-year, Industrial Development
bonds. The proceeds of the bond were used to refund an 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. Principal payments increase and are payable through 2013.

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 $9.4 million at June 30, 2000.

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

The provision (benefit) 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 (loss) due primarily to foreign source income. Income tax expense
(benefit) 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
inventories. Since the LIFO inventory determination for fiscal 2000 will be
based upon year-end inventory levels and costs, the Company will provide for an
anticipated "LIFO Adjustment," if any, based on its estimated year-end inventory
levels and costs. Under the Average Cost Method, inventories would have been
$3,789,000 higher than reported at June 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999.

(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. For the
Company, this consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. 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 and nine months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
are as follows:

(10) Basis of Presentation and Management Estimates:
     -----------------------------------------------

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.

In the opinion of the Company, the financial information in this Form 10-Q
includes all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature,
necessary to fairly state the results for the periods.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (continued)

For the third quarter of fiscal 2000, compared with the third quarter of fiscal
1999:

     - Net sales decreased 14% to $26.1 million from $30.5 million
     - Net loss of $.02 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $0.17
       per diluted share

Through the first nine months of fiscal 2000, compared with the first nine
months of fiscal 1999:

     - Net sales decreased 12% to $79.6 million from $90.3 million
     - Earnings per diluted share decreased to $0.28 from $0.55

New orders for the third quarter decreased to $26.0 million from last year's
$30.2 million, and for the nine months new orders decreased to $79.4 million
from $86.1 million. Backlog at June 30, 2000, was $37.7 million, compared to
$35.9 million a year ago.

TURBINE COMPONENT SERVICES AND REPAIR GROUP
Turbine Component Services and Repair Group sales declined 20.1% for the third
quarter to $16.5 million from $20.6 million a year ago. Sales for the first nine
months of fiscal 2000 decreased 14.7% to $53.6 million from $62.8 million a year
ago. Operating profit for the third quarter decreased 78.9% to $278,000 from
$1.3 million a year ago. Operating profit for the nine months decreased 33.9% to
$3.0 million from $4.5 million in fiscal 1999. The $4.1 million reduction in
revenue for the third quarter can be related principally (approximately 50%) to
the decline in the demand for JT8D engine overhaul. The reduced demand for older
model JT8D engine repair is attributable to the retirement or reduced
utilization of older model aircraft, such as the 737-100/200, the 727, and the
DC-9, which is expected to continue. This has been compounded by a reduced level
of business from a number of customers that have been experiencing their own
internal operating issues. The Repair Group has recognized that the JT8D market
is mature; however, newer models of this engine still hold promise for future
repair sales. The balance of the shortfall in revenue can be linked to CFM56 and
RB211 engine overhaul push outs and the continued encroachment of the engine
OEM's into the overhaul and repair marketplace. The Repair Group is responding
to these changes by tailoring resources to throughput and accelerating its
product introduction on the newer engine types. The $1.0 million reduction in
operating profit was primarily attributable to the inability of the company to
fully absorb certain of its overhead costs during the third quarter due to
reduced sales volumes. Product sales mix also contributed to the third quarter
drop in operating profit.

AEROSPACE COMPONENT MANUFACTURING GROUP
Aerospace Component Manufacturing Group sales for the third quarter decreased
3.0% to $9.6 million from $9.9 million a year ago. Sales for the first nine
months of fiscal 2000 decreased 5.3% to $26.1 million from $27.5 million a year
ago. Operating profit for the third quarter decreased 45.8% to $256,000 from
$472,000 a year ago. The reduction in the large aircraft build cycle from its
peak in 1999, partially offset by growth in the small aircraft volumes, accounts
for the decline in revenue so far this year. SIFCO is encouraged by the
significant improvement in outlook recently announced by the large manufacturers
like Boeing. The Aerospace Component Manufacturing Group has continued to push
into the regional jet market, which continues to expand and hold promise for
near-term revenue growth.



                                      (10)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Working capital was $29.2 million at June 30, 2000, compared to $30.3
million at September 30, 1999. The current ratio as of those dates was 2.7 and
2.6, respectively. Total debt as a percentage of tangible shareholders' equity
was 28.5% at June 30, 2000 compared to 29.6% at September 30, 1999.

     The Company announced in February 2000 that its board of directors had
authorized a repurchase of up to 100,000 shares, or approximately 2% of the
common shares outstanding. The shares, when purchased, will be used for
corporate purposes, including the issuance of shares pursuant to the exercise of
outstanding stock options. These purchases can be made in the open market or in
negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions. Any such repurchase of
shares will use a portion of the Company's working capital. Through June 30,
2000, the Company had repurchased 70,700 shares at an average price of $6.35.

     Year-to-date capital expenditures were $3.2 million compared to $3.4
million a year ago. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2000 are anticipated to be
approximately $5.0 million compared to $4.9 million in fiscal 1999. The
expenditures will be primarily used to upgrade existing equipment and develop
new capabilities, particularly in the Turbine Component Services and Repair
Group.

     The Company has borrowed $832,000 against its revolving credit line of $6.0
million at June 30, 2000. The Company believes it has adequate financing
available to meet its needs through the foreseeable future.


                 PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR TAXES ON INCOME (LOSS)
                 ----------------------------------------------

     The provision (benefit) for taxes on income (loss), 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
                                ---------------

     Through June 30, 2000, the Company has not experienced any noticeable
disruptions in its operations or in its ability to provide service to its
customers as a result of Year 2000 issues. Furthermore, the Company has no
knowledge of any conditions that exist, relative to the Year 2000 issue, that
will present problems in the future that would have a material adverse effect on
its financial condition or results of operations. Cumulative expenditures,
excluding the cost of Company information technology personnel, made through
December 31, 1999 related to the Year 2000 issue amounted to approximately
$150,000. No such related expenditures were incurred during the second or third
fiscal quarters of 2000.


                             SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
