Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A. Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein include the accounts of SIFCO Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the periods presented, have been included. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s fiscal 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to current period classifications.

B. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company employs the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). The following pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share was determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123. For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the stock options is amortized over the options’ vesting periods. The pro forma information is as follows:

                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    March 31,     March 31,  
    2005     2004     2005     2004  
Net income (loss) as reported
  $ (1,356 )   $ (666 )   $ 1,002     $ (1,176 )
 
                               
Less: Stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards
    14       28       28       55  
 
                       
 
                               
Pro forma net income (loss) as if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards
  $ (1,370 )   $ (694 )   $ 974     $ (1,231 )
 
                       
 
                               
Net income (loss) per share:

  $ (0.26 )   $ (0.13 )   $ 0.19     $ (0.23 )

  $ (0.26 )   $ (0.13 )   $ 0.19     $ (0.24 )

Diluted – pro forma
  $ (0.26 )   $ (0.13 )   $ 0.19     $ (0.24 )

C. New Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related implementation guidance. This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This Statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement 123 as originally issued and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”. This Statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans”. According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) is effective for the

Table of Contents

Company’s fiscal year 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal year 2006 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets- an amendment of Accounting Principles Bulletin (“APB”) Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153, amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal year 2005 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs” — an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”. SFAS No. 151 was issued to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “...under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges...” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal”. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal year 2006 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

2. Inventories

Inventories consist of:

                 
    March 31,     September 30,  
    2005     2004  
Raw materials and supplies
  $ 4,122     $ 2,566  
Work-in-process
    3,567       2,821  
Finished goods
    2,946       2,458  
 
           
 
               
Total inventories
  $ 10,635     $ 7,845  
 
           

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for 53% and 31% of the Company’s inventories at March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. Cost is determined using the specific identification method for approximately 20% and 27% of the Company’s inventories at March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used for the remainder of the inventories. If the FIFO method had been used for the inventories for which cost is determined using the LIFO method, inventories would have been $3,931 and $3,518 higher than reported at March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively.

3. Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Total comprehensive income (loss) is as follows:
