LMI Aerospace, Inc. (the "Company") hereby amends its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2002 (the "Form 10-K") by correcting an addition
error contained in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets included as part of
Item 8 to the Form 10-K. In particular, the Company is hereby amending the
Consolidated Balance Sheet to properly indicate that the Company's total
long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2002 were $26,560,000, rather than
$16,560,000. As required under SEC rules, this Amendment sets forth the complete
text of "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" as amended.

In addition, the Company also amended the Exhibit Index contained in the Form
10-K to indicate that Exhibit 3.3 was previously filed with the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

This Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Form 10-K, and the
Company has not updated the disclosure in this Amendment to speak to any later
date.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
LMI Aerospace, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LMI Aerospace,
Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of LMI Aerospace,
Inc. at December 31, 2001 and 2002, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2000 the Company changed
its method of accounting for revenue recognition and in 2002 the Company changed
its method of accounting for goodwill.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
         (Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
                                December 31, 2002

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

LMI Aerospace, Inc. (the "Company") fabricates, machines, and integrates formed,
close tolerance aluminum and specialty alloy components for use by the
aerospace, semiconductor and medical products industries. The Company is a
Missouri corporation with headquarters in St. Charles, Missouri. The Company
maintains facilities in St. Charles, Missouri; Seattle, Washington; Tulsa,
Oklahoma; Wichita, Kansas; Irving, Texas; Sun Valley, California; Oceanside,
California; and Langley, British Columbia.

The accompanying financial statements include the consolidated financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company and its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

OPERATING RESULTS AND MANAGEMENT'S PLAN

The Company experienced net losses in the third and fourth quarters of 2002
primarily as a result of product issues associated with new work in the St.
Charles plant which caused the Company to violate certain restrictive financial
covenants in its bank credit agreement with its primary lender as of December
31, 2002. Additionally, subsequent to year end, the Company exhausted its
available borrowings under its revolving credit facility of $7.0 million,
peaking at $7.5 million. The Company provided forecasts of operations and cash
flows to the bank and, in April 2003, negotiated revised covenants, secured an
increase in its revolving credit facility to $10.0 million, subject to a
borrowing base calculation, and extended the maturity date of the revolving
credit facility to January 5, 2004. As a part of the negotiations, the bank also
required an increase in the interest rate on the revolving credit facility of
0.25%, restrictions on capital expenditures, and a fee of $25,000. Additionally,
the bank required the Company to retain a financial consultant to work with
management to analyze operations and cash management. Independently, the Company
has undertaken a plan to reduce operating expenses at all facilities with
primary emphasis on the St. Charles facility. These immediate cost savings
include reductions in overtime worked and controllable expenses. This plan may
include, but is not limited to, headcount reductions, downsizing or closing of
facilities, and elimination of or reduction in specific customers or production
processes.

Based on forecasted operating results and cash flows, management believes that
cash flow from operations and the expanded capacity under the Revolving Credit
Agreement, as described in Note 7, will be adequate to fund the Company's
operations in 2003. The forecasted operating results and cash flows are
dependent upon management's ability to improve performance in the St. Charles
plant and accomplish certain expected reductions in operating expenses. While
management believes this forecast is achievable, to the extent that management
does not improve operating performance and reduce expenses, the Company may have
to seek alternative sources of financing. There can be no assurances that the
Company can obtain alternative financing on reasonable and acceptable terms.

CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER CONCENTRATION

Direct sales to the Company's largest customer accounted for 48.0%, 40.0%, and
25.4% of the Company's total revenues in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Accounts receivable balances related to direct sales to this customer were 29.0%
in 2001 and 7.8% in 2002. Indirect sales to the Company's largest customer
accounted for 13.0%, 11.0%, and 8.7% of the Company's total sales in 2000, 2001,
and 2002, respectively.

Direct sales to the Company's second largest customer accounted for 10.4%, 4.6%
and 17.5% of the Company's total revenues in 2000, 2001 and 2002 and represented
3.1% and 21.1% of the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2001 and 2002,
respectively.

The Company purchased approximately 63% and 34% of the materials used in
production from three suppliers in 2001 and 2002, respectively.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and all
highly liquid investment instruments with an initial maturity of three months or
less.

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

                                December 31, 2002


INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using actual cost for raw
materials and average cost for work-in-process and finished goods.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues are recorded when services are delivered or when products are shipped,
except for long-term contracts which are recorded on the
percentage-of-completion method (units-of-delivery basis). Sales from long-term
contracts were approximately 17% of sales in 2000, less than 10% in 2001, and
zero in 2002.

In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company changed its method of accounting for
revenue recognition in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101,
Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Previously, the Company recognized
revenue on certain product prior to customer acceptance. The Company had
performed testing to ensure the product met customer specifications and had
routinely obtained customer acceptance in the past, but customer acceptance was
required per the Company's contract with the customer. Under the new accounting
method adopted retroactive to January 1, 2000, the Company now recognizes
revenue upon customer acceptance. The cumulative effect of the change on prior
years resulted in a charge to income of $164, net of income tax benefit of $88,
which is included in income for the year ended December 31, 2000. The effect of
the change on the year ended December 31, 2000 was to increase income before the
cumulative effect of the accounting change by $89 ($.01 per share). Pro forma
results for prior years are not disclosed due to immateriality.

PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment under capital leases
is stated at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Equipment held under capital leases and leasehold improvements
are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term
or estimated useful life of the asset. Estimated useful lives for buildings and
machinery and equipment are 20 years and 4 to 10 years, respectively.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144,
Accounting for the impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, long lived
assets held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be
recoverable.

                                December 31, 2002


PRE-PRODUCTION COSTS

The Company accounts for pre-production costs in accordance with (EITF) 99-5,
Accounting for Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Arrangements.
All design and development costs for products to be sold under long-term supply
arrangements are expensed unless there is a contractual guarantee that provides
for specific required payments for design and development costs.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, under which goodwill will no longer be amortized but instead
be tested upon adoption of the Statement and then at least annually for
impairment and expensed to the extent the implied fair value of reporting units,
including goodwill, is less than carrying value (see Note 6). Acquired
intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful life on a
straight line basis.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement and
income tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities.

                                December 31, 2002

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations and
provides the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. The Company
applied APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock option plans, and
accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options granted
at fair market value. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the
fair value at the grant date under SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per
share amounts would have been as follows:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair values of the Company's long-term obligations approximate their carrying
values based on discounted cash flow analysis.

Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value based on quoted market
prices, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other
comprehensive income/loss. Realized gains and losses and declines in value
determined to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are
included in investment income. The cost of securities sold is based on the
average cost method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as
available-for-sale are included in other income.

The Company's other financial instruments have fair values which approximate
their respective carrying values due to their short maturities or variable rate
characteristics.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company follows SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, in calculating basic and
fully diluted earnings per share. Earnings per share are computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the applicable periods.

2. ACQUISITIONS

TEMPCO ENGINEERING

On April 2, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets of Tempco Engineering,
Inc. and Hyco Precision, Inc. ("Tempco"), two privately held related metal
machining companies based in Southern California, funded by a secured note with
the Company's lender. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase
method, and accordingly, the results of operations were included in the
Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. Tempco produces
components for photolithography equipment used in the manufacture of
semiconductors, as well as components for the defense and commercial aerospace
industries. Tempco's sales were approximately $16,000 in 2000. The purchase
price for the net assets acquired, net of acquired cash, was approximately
$15,200. The Company may pay additional contingent consideration of up to $1,250
if Tempco's EBITDA, as defined, exceeds certain limits for the two years ended
March 31, 2003. At December 31, 2002 Tempco had not and does not expect to meet
the financial thresholds that would obligate the Company to pay additional
consideration at the end of the contingency period, March 31, 2003. The excess
of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, $5,943, was
allocated to goodwill.

VERSAFORM

On May 16, 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Versaform
Corporation and BC 541775, Ltd., a holding company that owns 100% of the common
stock of Versaform Canada Corporation (collectively, "Versaform") for
approximately $11,787 consisting of cash and a note payable of $ 1.3 million.
Versaform forms large sheet metal and extrusion components predominantly for the
corporate, regional, and military aerospace markets from two facilities in
Oceanside, California and one facility in Langley, British Columbia, Canada.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination, and
accordingly, the results of operations were included in the Company's financial
statements after May 16, 2002. The cost to acquire Versaform has been allocated
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to their estimated fair
values at the time of the acquisition as follows:

<Table>

The intangible asset relates to acquired customer relationships and is being
amortized over 15 years on a straight line basis. Based on the terms of the
purchase agreement, the Company is obligated to pay additional consideration if
sales to a specific customer exceed certain annual

thresholds over the three years following the acquisition. As of December 31,
2002, sales to the specific customer did not meet these thresholds and is not
expected to meet the thresholds for the remainder of the three year contingency
period. The purchase agreement allows for certain adjustments to the purchase
price for claims in excess of $100. The Company has filed a claim for
reimbursement of certain liabilities existing at the closing date and has
recorded a receivable from the seller of $196. The Company expects to resolve
the purchase price adjustment in the second quarter of 2003. Versaform's sales
were approximately $12,000 in 2001.

SOUTHERN STRETCH FORMING AND FABRICATION, INC.

On September 30, 2002, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Southern Stretch Forming and Fabrication, Inc. ("SSFF"). The
former owner of Versaform, currently a director of the Company, held a 50%
interest in SSFF. Following the Company's acquisition of Versaform, the director
purchased the remaining 50% interest in SSFF and sold SSFF to the Company. (See
related party transactions at Note 12) The assets consisted primarily of
inventory, machinery and equipment. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase business combination, and accordingly, the related results of
operations have been included in the consolidated statement of operations after
September 30, 2002. The purchase price of $444, which includes the assumption of
debt and direct costs of the transaction, consisted of $235 in cash and 90,000
shares of LMI common stock, with a market value of $209.

The cost to acquire these assets has been allocated to the assets according to
their fair values and consisted of inventory of $115, and equipment and
machinery of $718, and assumed liabilities of $389. Net sales for SSFF for 2001
were approximately $3,820, of which approximately $1,739 were to the Company.

STRETCH FORMING CORPORATION

On June 12, 2002, the Company acquired certain assets of Stretch Forming
Corporation ("SFC"), based in Southern California. The purchase price of $950
was allocated to the assets acquired based on their fair value and consisted of
working capital of $465, equipment of $66, and an intangible asset of $419
related to production backlog, to be amortized over 3.5 years on a straight line
basis.

3. TREASURY STOCK TRANSACTIONS

The Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its common
stock and place these shares in a Treasury Stock account for use at management's
discretion. The Company purchased 119,000 shares and 1,900 shares in 2001 and
2002, respectively, in the open market at prices ranging from $4.48 to $2.00 per
share. In addition, the Company issued 30,928 shares in 2001 and 32,690 shares
in 2002 in conjunction with contributions to and purchases by the Company's
benefit plans. These transactions were recorded at cost in stockholders' equity.

During the third and fourth quarter of 2002, the Company encountered production
difficulties and inefficiencies on new programs with two significant customers
due to several factors including inadequate tooling, poor performance of a
critical subcontractor, and changes in customer acceptance criteria. At December
31, 2002, the Company recorded a lower of cost or market reserve of $1,957 on
work in process primarily related to these programs of which approximately $696
relates to completion costs to be incurred in 2003.

The Company has presented claims for certain costs incurred and has requested
re-pricing of several components. As the claim has not been accepted or approved
by the customer, no claim recovery has been recorded in the December 31, 2002
financial statement.

6. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

As required by SFAS No. 142, the Company performed the initial phase of its
transitional impairment test as of January 1, 2002 during the first six months
following adoption and determined that its operating segments constitute
reporting units. Additionally, the Company determined that the carrying value of
its Sheet Metal segment exceeded its fair value.

The initial phase of the transitional test indicated potential impairment of the
Sheet Metal segment's goodwill with a carrying value of $1,767 reflecting the
current industry conditions and estimates of aerospace industry spending in the
foreseeable future. The Company engaged valuation experts to assist in
performing a review of the fair value of the Sheet Metal segment's tangible and
intangible assets, including goodwill, as of January 1, 2002. Based upon the
valuation completed in the fourth quarter of 2002, relying primarily on a
discounted cash flow valuation technique, the Company recorded a $1,767 charge
($1,104 net of tax) for the impairment of the Sheet Metal segment's goodwill.
The charge is reflected as the cumulative effect of adopting the new accounting
standard as of January 1, 2002.

In the fourth quarter 2002, the Company performed the required annual impairment
test under SFAS No. 142. The initial phase of the required annual test indicated
potential impairment of the Sheet Metal segment's goodwill with a carrying value
of $5,104, all of which related to the May 2002 acquisition of Versaform. These
impairment indicators arose from poor operating performance at the other
operations in the Sheet Metal segment reflecting further deterioration in the
industry conditions and estimates of aerospace industry spending in the
foreseeable future. The Company engaged valuation experts to assist in
performing a review of the fair value of the Sheet Metal segment's tangible and
intangible assets, including goodwill, as of October 1, 2002. Based upon the
valuation, relying primarily on a discounted cash flow valuation technique, the
Company recorded a $5,104 charge as a component of operating income in the
fourth quarter of 2002.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the fiscal years ended 2000,
2001, and 2002 were as follows:

The Company has a loan agreement ("Loan Agreement") with Union Planters Bank,
NA. The Loan Agreement consists of a revolving line of credit ("Revolver"), a
term loan to finance the purchase of Tempco ("Tempco Term Loan"), and a term
loan to finance the purchase of Versaform ("Versaform Term Loan"). The Company's
Loan Agreement is secured by all the domestic assets of the Company and requires
compliance with certain non-financial and financial covenants including minimum
levels of EBITDA and tangible net worth.

At December 31, 2002, the Company was in violation of certain financial
covenants of the Loan Agreement, due to the operating losses and negative cash
flow from operations in 2002 (See Note 1). On April 15, 2003, the Company
obtained a waiver of the December 31, 2002 violations and an amendment to the
Loan Agreement from its lender. The amended Loan Agreement extends the maturity
of the line of credit to January 2004, increases the capacity under the line of
credit by $3 million and eased the quarterly financial covenant requirements
through December 31, 2003.

The Company's amended Revolver allows for a $10,000 line of credit, subject to a
borrowing base calculation, to fund various corporate needs. Interest is payable
with an interest rate of 3.6% monthly based on a quarterly cash flow leverage
calculation and the LIBOR rate. This facility matures in January 2004. The
credit facility prohibits the payment of cash dividends on common stock without
the prior written consent of Union Planters. The Company had $4,417 outstanding
on this line at December 31, 2002.

</Table>

The number of options exercisable and the related range of exercise prices
December 31, 2000, 2001, and 2002 were 213,885 shares, with a range of exercise
prices from $2.75 to $6.25, 276,170 shares, with a range of exercise prices from
$2.00 to $5.93, and, 404,200 shares, with a range of exercise prices from $2.00
to $6.06, respectively.

The fair value for options was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively: risk-free interest rates of
5.1%, 4.78% and 3.36%; dividend yields of 0%, 0% and 0%; volatility factors of
the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 57%; 104%, and 83%
and a weighted average expected life of the option of four years for 2000 and
six years for 2001 and 2002. The weighted average fair value of options granted
during 2000, 2001 and 2002 was $1.46, $1.96 and $3.40, respectively

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has entered into certain acquisition transactions with Brian Geary,
a member of the Company's Board of Directors, related to his former ownership of
Versaform and SSFF (See Note 2 for further description of these acquisitions).
As a part of the acquisition of Versaform, the consideration included a note
payable of $1.3 million to Mr. Geary which bears interest at 7% and is payable
in monthly installments through May 2005. In addition, a relative of Mr. Geary
retained ownership of a building and property where Versaform operates and
leases the facility to the Company for approximately $86 per year.

Prior to appointment as a Director of the Company, Mr. Geary owned 50% of SSFF.
Subsequently, Mr. Geary purchased the remaining 50% of SSFF and sold the entity
to the Company. Prior to approving the purchase of


                                       21


SSFF, the Company's Audit Committee, at the request of the Board of Directors,
considered the potential conflict of interest regarding the acquisition of SSFF.
The Audit Committee concluded that the above transaction was negotiated on an
arms length basis, consummated on terms generally similar to those prevailing
with unrelated third parties, and were fair and in the best interest of the
Company and its shareholders.

The Company leases the two Tempco operating facilities from entities in which a
relative of Ernest Star, an officer of the Company, is a principal beneficiary.
In addition, Ernest Star is a trustee of a trust that serves as a landlord for
one of these leases. The leases governing the Company's occupancy of these
facilities were entered into at the time of the Tempco acquisition, prior to Mr.
Star's appointment as an officer, and were negotiated on an arms length basis at
terms generally similar to those prevailing with unrelated third parties.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.

14. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

As set forth in the criteria of statement of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, the Company is organized into
two reportable segments: Sheet Metal and Machining and Technology. The Sheet
Metal segment fabricates, finishes, and integrates close tolerance aluminum and
specialty alloy components primarily for the aerospace industry. The Machining
and Technology segment machines close tolerance aluminum and specialty alloy
components for the aerospace, semiconductor, and medical products industries.

The segments presented for the year ended December 31, 2002 differ from the
segments previously presented. For the year ended December 31, 2001 and prior,
the Company reported as one segment as it intended to fully integrate the
Machining and Technology business acquired in 2001 into its existing Sheet Metal
business. During 2002, operating activity of Machining and Technology evolved
and integration has been limited due to the significant growth in non-aerospace
business, which grew to over 50% of segment revenue in 2002. During 2002,
the Company determined that its Machining and Technology met the definition of a
reportable segment in accordance with SFAS No. 131 given its management
reporting structure and differences in products and customers. Prior period
reporting has been restated to conform to the new segment reporting.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note
1. Sales between segments are insignificant. Corporate assets, liabilities, and
expenses related to the Company's corporate offices are allocated to the
segments, except for income taxes and certain corporate office fixed assets and
enterprise wide software. The table below presents information about reported
segments for years ended December 31, on the basis used internally to evaluate
segment performance (Machining and Technology are presented beginning April,
2001, the date of acquisition):
