<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended ("Articles"), of the Company contain a provision that eliminates the personal liability of a director to the
Company and its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director, except to the extent not permitted by the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the "Act"). If a director were to breach the
duty of care in performing his or her duties as a director, neither the Company nor its shareholders could recover monetary damages from the director, and the only course of action available to the
shareholders would be equitable remedies, such as an action to enjoin or rescind a transaction involving a breach of duty. To the extent certain claims against directors are limited to equitable
remedies, this provision may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation and may discourage shareholders or management from initiating litigation against directors for breach of their duty.
Additionally, equitable remedies may not be effective in many situations. If a shareholder's only remedy is to enjoin the completion of the board's action, this remedy would be ineffective if the
shareholder does not become aware of a transaction or event until after it has been completed. In such a situation, it is possible that the shareholders and the Company would have no effective remedy
against the directors. Under the Articles, liability for monetary damages remains for (i)&nbsp;any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;payment of an improper dividend or improper repurchase or redemption of the Company's stock under
Section&nbsp;60.367 of the Act, or (iv)&nbsp;any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Articles also authorize indemnification of current or former directors or officers of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by law. In addition, the Company has entered into
indemnity agreements with certain of its officers and directors. The Company's Bylaws require indemnification of officers and
directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Act. The effects of the Articles, the Bylaws, the Act, and the indemnity agreements (the "Indemnification Provisions") are summarized as follows: </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Indemnification Provisions grant a right of indemnification in respect of any action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company)
against expenses (including attorney fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred, if the person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, was not adjudged liable on the basis of receipt of an improper personal benefit and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of an action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or plea of nolo
contendere does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not meet the required standards of conduct. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Indemnification Provisions grant a right of indemnification in respect of any action or suit by or in the right of the Company against the expenses (including
attorney fees) actually and reasonably incurred if the person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company,
except that no right of indemnification will be granted if the person is adjudged to be liable to the Company. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;Every
person who has been wholly successful on the merits of a controversy described in (a) or (b) above is entitled to indemnification as a matter of right. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;Because
the limits of permissible indemnification under Oregon law are not clearly defined, the Indemnification Provisions may provide indemnification broader than that
described in (a) and (b). </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company may advance to a director or officer the expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition if the director or
officer affirms in good faith that he or she has met the standard of conduct to be entitled to indemnification as described in (a) or (b) above and undertakes to repay any amount advanced if it is
determined that the person did not meet the required standard of conduct. </FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which officers or directors may be entitled under any statute, agreement, vote
of shareholders, action of directors or otherwise. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company has directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage which insures directors and officers of the Company against certain liabilities. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Various
provisions contained in the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the other co-registrants provide for indemnification of the directors and
officers of those co-registrants and, in some cases, limit or eliminate the personal liability of the directors of those co-registrants in accordance with the laws of the states in which those
co-registrants are organized. </FONT></P>

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

was the average of the high and low prices of the common stock on June 4, 2002 on the New York Stock Exchange.

The

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents By Reference.
The following documents filed by Precision Castparts Corp. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated herein by reference:
(a)  The
Company's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the latest prospectus filed pursuant to
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 that contains audited consolidated financial statements for the Company's latest fiscal year for which such statements have been filed.
(b)  All
other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the fiscal year covered by the annual report or
prospectus referred to in (a) above.
(c)  The
description of the authorized capital stock of the Company contained in the Company's registration statement filed under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating the description.
All
reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a) and (c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such reports and documents.
Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended ("Articles"), of the Company contain a provision that eliminates the personal liability of a director to the
Company and its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director, except to the extent not permitted by the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the "Act"). If a director were to breach the
duty of care in performing his or her duties as a director, neither the Company nor its shareholders could recover monetary damages from the director, and the only course of action available to the
shareholders would be equitable remedies, such as an action to enjoin or rescind a transaction involving a breach of duty. To the extent certain claims against directors are limited to equitable
remedies, this provision may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation and may discourage shareholders or management from initiating litigation against directors for breach of their duty.
Additionally, equitable remedies may not be effective in many situations. If a shareholder's only remedy is to enjoin the completion of the board's action, this remedy would be ineffective if the
shareholder does not become aware of a transaction or event until after it has been completed. In such a situation, it is possible that the shareholders and the Company would have no effective remedy
against the directors. Under the Articles, liability for monetary damages remains for (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of an improper dividend or improper repurchase or redemption of the Company's stock under
Section 60.367 of the Act, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
II-1
The
Articles also authorize indemnification of current or former directors or officers of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by law. In addition, the Company has entered into
indemnity agreements with certain of its officers and directors. The Company's Bylaws require indemnification of officers and
directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Act. The effects of the Articles, the Bylaws, the Act, and the indemnity agreements (the "Indemnification Provisions") are summarized as follows:
(a)  The
Indemnification Provisions grant a right of indemnification in respect of any action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company)
against expenses (including attorney fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred, if the person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, was not adjudged liable on the basis of receipt of an improper personal benefit and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of an action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or plea of nolo
contendere does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not meet the required standards of conduct.
(b)  The
Indemnification Provisions grant a right of indemnification in respect of any action or suit by or in the right of the Company against the expenses (including
attorney fees) actually and reasonably incurred if the person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company,
except that no right of indemnification will be granted if the person is adjudged to be liable to the Company.
(c)  Every
person who has been wholly successful on the merits of a controversy described in (a) or (b) above is entitled to indemnification as a matter of right.
(d)  Because
the limits of permissible indemnification under Oregon law are not clearly defined, the Indemnification Provisions may provide indemnification broader than that
described in (a) and (b).
(e)  The
Company may advance to a director or officer the expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition if the director or
officer affirms in good faith that he or she has met the standard of conduct to be entitled to indemnification as described in (a) or (b) above and undertakes to repay any amount advanced if it is
determined that the person did not meet the required standard of conduct.
The
rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which officers or directors may be entitled under any statute, agreement, vote
of shareholders, action of directors or otherwise.
The
Company has directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage which insures directors and officers of the Company against certain liabilities.
Various
provisions contained in the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the other co-registrants provide for indemnification of the directors and
officers of those co-registrants and, in some cases, limit or eliminate the personal liability of the directors of those co-registrants in accordance with the laws of the states in which those
co-registrants are organized.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)  The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)  To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)  To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)  To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii)  To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(I) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)  That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)  To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)  The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to
II-3
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)  Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
