GRAHAM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
NOTE 1 - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR REVENUE RECOGNITION
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, the Company
changed its method of recognizing revenue for certain contracts
from the completed contract to the percentage-of-completion
method. Formerly, only contracts with a planned manufacturing
process in excess of three months and with revenue of at least
$1,000 and 500 pounds sterling, in the USA and UK operating
segments, respectively, were accounted for under the percentage-
of-completion method. Now all contracts with a planned manufacturing
process of four weeks or more (575 hours) and without a dollar threshold
are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. The
Company believes this is a preferable accounting method for these
contracts because it measures revenue, costs of products sold and
related income on construction type contracts based on progress on
the contracts, thus providing a better measure of the earnings
process on a more timely basis. The Company extended its scope of
contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method at
this time because management believes that the effects on the financial
statements of applying the completed contract method on these contracts
could begin to vary materially from the effects of applying the
percentage-of-completion method. The majority of the Company's contracts
have a planned manufacturing process of less than four weeks (575 hours),
and are accounted for using the completed contract method. Prior
period financial results have been restated to reflect this change.
The impact of the change on net sales, cost of products sold, provision
for income taxes and net income for all periods presented is as follows:

NOTE 3 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in
accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company
continues to measure compensation for such plans using the
intrinsic value based method of accounting, prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board (APB), Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees". Accordingly, compensation cost
for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the
quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant
over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Compensation cost for share equivalent units is recorded based on
the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the end of the
period.
Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense
has been recognized for the Company's stock option plans. Had
compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been
determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards
under those plans in accordance with the optional methodology
prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss)
and net income (loss) per share would have been the pro forma
amounts indicated below:

For purposes of the disclosure above, the fair value of each
option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. During the six months ended
September 30, 2004, no options were granted. The following
weighted-average assumptions were used for grants in fiscal year
2004:
Expected life 5 years
Volatility 50.06%
Risk-free interest rate 2.25%
Dividend yield 2.40%
NOTE 4 - INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Common shares outstanding include
share equivalent units which are contingently issuable shares.
Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and, when
applicable, potential common shares outstanding during the
period. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of
basic and diluted income (loss) per share is presented below:

Options to purchase shares of common stock which totaled
71,350 and 136,250 for the three months ended September 30, 2004
and 2003, respectively, were not included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share as the effect would be antidilutive
due to the options' exercise price being greater than the average
market price of the common shares.
14
All options to purchase shares of common stock at various
exercise prices were excluded from the computation of diluted
loss per share for the six month periods ended September 30, 2004
and 2003 as the effect would be antidilutive due to the net
losses for the periods.
NOTE 5 - PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY

The decrease in expense for product warranties in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2005 resulted from the reversal of
provisions made that are no longer required based upon historical
claims history.
NOTE 6 - CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Interest paid was $51 and $56 for the six months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, income
taxes refunded were $10 and $210 for the six months ended

Non-cash activities during the six months ended September 30,
2004 and 2003 included dividends of $83 and $80, respectively,
which were recorded but not paid. In addition, in the six months
ended September 30, 2003, capital expenditures totaling $11 were
financed through the issuance of capital leases.
NOTE 7 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income was $365 and $207 for the three
months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Other
comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30,
2004 and 2003 included foreign currency translation adjustments

unpaid settlement amount due of $183 was received on October 13, 2004.
As a result of the settlement, other income of $1,592 was recorded.
On February 4, 2003, the Company irrevocably terminated
postretirement health care benefits for current U.S. employees.
Benefits payable to retirees of record on April 1, 2003 remained
unchanged. As a result of the plan change, a curtailment gain of
$522 was recognized. This gain is included in the caption "Other

the time of the closing of $7.55. This transaction resulted in a
$224,000 increase to treasury stock, a $204,000 reduction in
notes receivable from officers and directors and cash payments to
former officers. The cash payments of $20 approximate amounts
previously paid on the notes.
NOTE 12 - CONTINGENCIES
The Company has been named as a defendant in certain
lawsuits wherein the respective plaintiffs allege personal injury
from exposure to asbestos contained in products made by the
Company. The Company is a co-defendant with numerous other
defendants in these suits. The Company has retained litigation
counsel to defend these claims. The claims are similar to
previous asbestos suits naming the Company as defendant, which
either were dismissed when it was shown that the Company had not
supplied products to the plaintiffs' places of work or were
settled for minimal amounts below the expected defense costs.
The lawsuits are at a very early stage, where the potential for
liability is not determinable.
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The
Company believes there is no other litigation pending against it
that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material
adverse effect on its financial statements.

GRAHAM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
September 30, 2004
OVERVIEW
Graham Corporation consists of two operating segments as
determined by geographic areas (USA: Graham Corporation, UK:
Graham Vacuum and Heat Transfer Limited and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Graham Precision Pumps Limited).
In the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Corporation
modified its method of recognizing revenue for certain contracts
from the completed contract to the percentage-of-completion
method. Formerly, only contracts with a planned manufacturing
process in excess of three months and with revenue of at least
$1,000 and 500 pounds sterling, in the USA and UK operating
segments, respectively, were accounted for under the percentage-
of-completion method. Now all contracts with a planned manufacturing
process of four weeks or more (575 hours) and without a dollar threshold
are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. The Company
believes this is a preferable accounting method for these contracts because
it measures revenue, costs of products sold and related income on
construction type contracts based on progress on the contracts, thus
providing a better measure of the earnings process on a more timely
basis. The Company extended its scope of contracts accounted for using
the percentage-of-completion method at this time because management
believes that the effects on the financial statements of applying
the completed contract method on these contracts could begin to
vary materially from the effects of applying the percentage-of-
completion method. The majority of the Company's contracts have
a planned manufacturing process of less than four weeks (575 hours),
and are accounted for using the completed contract method. Prior
period financial results have been restated to reflect this change.
The impact of the change on net sales, cost of products sold, provision
for income taxes and net income for all periods presented is as follows:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this document, including in
this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, that are not historical facts,
constitute "Forward-Looking Statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-
looking statements, in general, predict, forecast, indicate or
imply future results, performance or achievements and generally
use words so indicative. The Company wishes to caution the
reader that numerous important factors which involve risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to economic,
competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the
Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices, and
other factors discussed in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in the future, could affect
the Company's actual results and could cause its actual
consolidated results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the
Company.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("GAAP").
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are
reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could
potentially result in materially different results under
different assumptions and conditions. Management has discussed
each of these critical accounting policies and estimates with the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Revenue Recognition - The Corporation recognizes revenue on all
contracts with a planned manufacturing process in excess of four weeks
(575 hours) using the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage-
of-completion method is determined by relating actual labor
incurred to-date to management's estimate of total labor to be
incurred on each contract. Contracts in progress are reviewed
monthly, and sales and earnings are adjusted in current
accounting periods based on revisions in the contract value and
estimated costs at completion. (For additional information,
refer to page 7, Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and to page 14, Overview, Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations).
Revenue not accounted for using the percentage-of-completion
method is accounted for on the completed contract method because
the majority of the Company's contracts have a planned manufacturing
process of less than four weeks (575 hours) and the results
reported under this method do not vary materially from the use
of the percentage-of-completion method. The Company recognizes
revenue and all related costs on the completed contract method
upon substantial completion or shipment to the customer. Substantial
completion is consistently defined as at least 95% complete with
regard to direct labor hours. Customer acceptance is generally
required throughout the construction process and the Company has
no further material obligations under the contract after the
revenue is recognized.
Pension and Postretirement Benefits - The Company's defined
benefit pension and other postretirement benefit costs and
obligations are dependent on actuarial assumptions used in
calculating such amounts. These assumptions, which are reviewed
annually by the Company, include the discount rate, long-term
expected rate of return on plan assets, salary growth, healthcare
cost trend rate and other economic and demographic factors. The
Company bases the discount rate assumption for its plans on the
AA-rated corporate long-term bond yield rate. The long-term
22
expected rate of return on plan assets is based on the plan's
asset allocation, historical returns and management's expectation
as to future returns that are expected to be realized over the
estimated remaining life of the plan liabilities that will be
funded with the plan assets. The salary growth assumptions are
determined based on the Company's long-term actual experience and
future and near-term outlook. The healthcare cost trend rate
assumptions are based on historical cost and payment data, the
near-term outlook, and an assessment of the likely long-term
trends.
To the extent that actual results differ from our
assumptions, the differences are reflected as unrecognized gains
and losses and are amortized to earnings over the estimated
future service period of the plan participants to the extent such
total net recognized gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater
of the plan's projected benefit obligation or the market-related
value of assets. Significant differences in actual experience or
significant changes in future assumptions would affect the
Company's pension and postretirement benefit costs and
obligations.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses
and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Use of estimates include the recording of revenue, pension
obligations, and the underlying assumptions and valuation
reserves for uncollectible accounts, inventory obsolescence,
deferred taxes, warranty and liquidated damages.
Results of Operations
For an understanding of the significant factors that
influenced the Company's performance, the following discussion
should be read in conjunction with the quarterly consolidated
financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial
statements.

Amounts above are inclusive of intercompany amounts.
Consolidated sales (net of intercompany sales) for the
quarter were $10,927, as compared to $12,554 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2003. This represents a 13% decrease in
sales. Sales in the USA were down 18% from one year ago. Sales
from UK operations were down 2%.
Consolidated sales (net of intercompany sales) for the six
months were $20,843, as compared to $21,124 for the six months
ended September 30, 2003. This represents a 1% decrease in
sales. Sales in the USA were down 8% from one year ago. Sales
from UK operations were up 20%.
The decrease in USA and UK sales for the quarter and USA
sales for the six months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to
sales for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2003,
reflected unusually low order volume for condensers and large
ejectors in prior quarters due to the lack of major project work.
Sales from UK operations were up for the six months due to an
increase in sales of vacuum pumps for offshore oil extraction and
for pump systems shipped in the quarter ended June 30, 2004.
The consolidated gross profit margin for the quarter was
13%, as compared to 23% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003.
By segment, USA operation's gross profit decreased from 22% for
the second quarter ended September 30, 2003 to 10% for the
current quarter and the UK's gross profit margin decreased from
27% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 to 24% for the
current quarter.
The consolidated gross profit margin for the current six
months was 12%, as compared to 18% for the six months ended
September 30, 2003. By segment, USA operations' gross profit
decreased from 16% for the six months ended September 30, 2003 to
10% for the six months ended September 30, 2004, and the UK's
gross profit margin decreased from 20% to 16% for the six months
ended September 30, 2004.
Gross profit margins in both the USA and UK operations for
the current quarter and six months were down from the comparative
quarter and six months one year ago due to the inability to fully
recover increasing material costs and one major pump system
project bearing a very low profit margin. The Company is
addressing rising material costs through selling price increases.
Also, USA gross profit margins decreased due to lower sales for the
three and six months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to
24
September 30, 2003.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses (SG&A) were 22%
of sales for the current quarter, as compared to 20% for the
quarter ended September 30, 2003 and 24% of sales for the six
months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to 23% for the six
month period ended one year earlier. Percentage variances in
SG&A expenses are due to changes in sales levels in both the
quarterly and six-month comparative periods.
Interest expense was $21 for the quarter ended September 30,
2003 and $26 for the current quarter. For the six-month periods
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, interest expense was $51 and
$58, respectively. Interest expense for the current fiscal year
to date decreased significantly in the USA, which resulted in a
consolidated decrease of interest expense.
Other income for the current quarter and six months ended
September 30, 2004 was $1,592 compared to $522 for the first
quarter ended June 30, 2003 and six months ended September 30,
2003. Other income of $1,592 recorded in the current quarter
resulted from a settlement of a contract dispute over
cancellation charges. The settlement of this matter ended a
complaint filed in April 2004 in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of California alleging breach of
contract by a customer and a counterclaim filed by the customer
seeking specific performance of the contract or money damages.
Other income recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2003
represents a non-recurring curtailment gain resulting from the
discontinuation of postretirement medical benefits.
The effective income tax rate for the quarter was 36%, as
compared to 30% at September 30, 2003. The effective income tax
rate for the six months ended September 30, 2004 was 35%, as
compared to 28% at September 30, 2003. The lower effective
income tax rates for the three and six-month periods ended
September 30, 2003 were attributable to a larger extra
territorial income exclusion benefit due to higher foreign
shipments.
Net income for the quarter was $381 or $0.22 per diluted
share. This compares to a net income of $209 or $0.13 per
diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Net
losses for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and
2003 were $596, or $0.36 per diluted share, and $496, or $.30 per
diluted share, respectively.

Consolidated cash flow from operations was negative $2,085
for the six months ended September 30, 2004 compared to negative
cash flow from operations of $735 for the six months ended
September 30, 2003. Negative cash flows for the six months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003 were due to operating losses before
the reduction of losses for non-cash Other Income items of $1,592
and $522, respectively. The cash related to the income
recognized in the second quarter ended September 30, 2004 was
collected in a prior reporting period.
The Company expects to consume cash in excess of amounts
generated from operations over the next several months to cover a
significant increase in work-in-process inventory for greater
shipments scheduled in future quarters.
The primary source of liquidity is cash flow from
operations, investments in short-term treasury bills and secured
credit agreements.
Orders and Backlog
Orders for the current quarter were $10,355 as compared to
$7,854 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, representing a
32% increase. Prior to intercompany elimination, orders in the
USA were $9,101 compared to $4,971 in the quarter ended September
30, 2003. Orders in the UK were $1,504, as compared to $3,004
one year ago.
Orders for the six months ended September 30, 2004 were
$25,513, as compared to $19,087 for the six months ended
September 30, 2003. This represents a 34% increase and is due to
the continuing recovery in the refinery and chemical markets.
26
Backlog was $21,225 at September 30, 2004 as compared to
$15,707 at September 30, 2003, representing a 35% increase.
Prior to intercompany eliminations, USA unfilled orders were
$18,894 and UK unfilled orders were $2,665 at September 30, 2004.
At September 30, 2003, USA and UK backlog amounts were $13,338
and $3,410, respectively. The prior year backlog amounts have
been restated to reflect contract cancellations and the
restatement of sales due to the change in the revenue recognition
accounting method. All orders in backlog represent orders from
traditional markets in the Company's established product lines.
Market Risk (Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures)
The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising
from changes in market rates and prices) to which Graham is
exposed are:
- foreign exchange rates
- equity price risk
- material availability and price risk
The assumptions applied in preparing quantitative
disclosures regarding interest rate, foreign exchange rate and
equity price risk are based upon volatility ranges experienced in
relevant historical periods, management's current knowledge of
the business and market place, and management's judgment of the
probability of future volatility based upon the historical trends
and economic conditions of the business.
Graham's international consolidated sales for the past three
years approximates 43% of total sales. Operating in world
markets involves exposure to movements in currency exchange
rates. Currency movements can affect sales in several ways, the
foremost being the ability to compete for orders against
competition having a relatively weaker currency. Business lost
due to this cannot be quantified. Secondly, cash can be
adversely impacted by the conversion of sales in foreign currency
to U.S. dollars. The substantial portion of Graham's sales is
collected in the local currency (USA - dollars; UK - pounds
sterling). For the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
sales in foreign currencies were 4% and 3% of sales,
respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2004 and
2003, sales in foreign currencies were 4% and 2% of total sales,
respectively. At certain times, the Company may enter into
forward foreign exchange agreements to hedge its exposure against
unfavorable changes in foreign currency values on significant
sales contracts negotiated in foreign currencies.
Graham has limited exposure to foreign currency purchases.
For the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
purchases in foreign currencies were 7% and 13% of cost of goods
sold, respectively. For the six month periods ended September
30, 2004 and 2003, purchases in foreign currencies were 7% and
10% of cost of goods sold, respectively. In FYE 2004 and 2005,
USA operations recorded an unusually significant dollar volume of
orders utilizing UK subsidiary products in conjunction with USA
equipment. At certain times, forward foreign exchange contracts
may be utilized to limit currency exposure.
27
UK operations experienced a current quarter net loss of $44,
as compared to a quarterly net income of $22 for September 30,
2003. For the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
foreign operations produced net losses of $351 and $276.
respectively. As currency exchange rates change, translations of
the income statements of the UK business into US dollars affect
year-over-year comparability of operating results. The increase
in the foreign currency translation rate to convert pounds
sterling to US dollars increased all UK income statement items
and order amounts by 12% and all UK balance sheet and backlog
amounts by 9% for the six months ended September 30, 2004 over
2003. The Company does not hedge translation risks because cash
flows from UK operations are mostly reinvested in the UK. A 10%
change in foreign exchange rates would have impacted the UK
reported net loss by approximately $5 and $2 for the three months
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and $35 and $28 for the six
month periods, respectively.
The Company has a Long-Term Incentive Plan, which provides
for awards of share equivalent units (SEUs) for outside directors
based upon the Company's performance. The outstanding SEUs are
recorded at fair market value thereby exposing the Company to
equity price risk. Gains and losses recognized due to market
price changes are included in the Company's results of
operations. Based upon the SEUs outstanding at September 30,
2004 and 2003 and a $12 per share price, a 50-75% change in the
respective year end market price of the Company's common stock
would positively or negatively impact the Company's operating
results by $100 to $151 for the three and six months ended
September 30, 2004 and $99 to $148 for the three and six months
ended September, 2003. Assuming required net income of $500 is
met, and based upon a market price of the Company's stock of $12
per share, a 50-75% change in the stock price would positively or
negatively impact the Company's operating results by $155 to $233
in 2006, $173 to $260 in 2007, $186 to $279 in 2008, $200 to $299
in 2009 and $203 to $304 in 2010.
The risks associated with materials include availability and
price increases. Material shortages have affected the Company's
ability to meet delivery requirements for certain orders. The
Company has identified alternative vendors in such cases and
seeks to negotiate escalation provisions in its sales contracts
in the event that costs of materials increase. Profit margins on
sales would be reduced to the extent rising material costs could
not be passed on to Graham's customers.
Contingencies
The Company is a co-defendant with numerous other defendants
in matters of litigation alleging personal injury from exposure
to asbestos contained in some of the Company's products
previously manufactured. To date, it has been the Company's
experience that upon investigation the cases have been dismissed
or settled for minimal amounts. However, the magnitude of
potential damages on unsettled current claims is not
determinable.
