These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan at August 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended August 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of August 31, 1998, and reportable transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The following description of Amcast Industrial Corporation 401(k) Salary Deferral Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the plan's provisions. GENERAL The Plan is a contributory defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Amcast Industrial Corporation (the Company and Plan Sponsor) who are compensated on a salary basis or are hourly and are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Eligible employees may participate on the first day of the month coincident with or first following six months of employment. It is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). CONTRIBUTIONS Each year, participants may contribute, in whole percentages, an amount up to 15 percent of annual compensation, as defined by the Plan Document. Additionally, participants may make up to two lump sum contributions to the Plan per year. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. The Company makes matching contributions equal to 15 percent of the first 6 percent of compensation that is deferred by participants to the Plan. These matching contributions are made in common stock of the Company. The Company also makes supplemental matching contributions to the Plan provided that the Company's annual minimum return on net worth is at least 10.1 percent. The amount of these supplemental matching contributions increases based upon the level of return; however, the amount shall not exceed 35 percent of the participants' salary deferral contributions. All employer contributions are in Company stock. VESTING Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. Participants are 50 percent vested in Company contributions made after one year of service with the Company, 75 percent vested after two years of service, and fully vested after three years of service. 4 7 Amcast Industrial Corporation 401(k) Salary Deferral Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) PARTICIPANT LOANS Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $500 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 (less the highest outstanding balance of any loan made to the participant under the Plan during the 12-month period preceding the date of the loan) or 50 percent of his or her vested account balance. The loan term is not to exceed 5 years unless the loan is for the purchase of a principal residence, in which case the term may be as long as 30 years. Interest and principal is paid ratably through at least quarterly payroll deductions. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) Plan earnings. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS On termination of service for any reason, a participant may receive a lump-sum amount equal to the vested value of his or her account, in either cash or stock. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Substantially all expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Certain amounts presented in 1997 have been reclassified to conform to 1998 presentation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 5 8 Amcast Industrial Corporation 401(k) Salary Deferral Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) INVESTMENT VALUATION The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. The shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Participant notes receivable are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value. Company common stock and the participation units owned by the Plan in the common/collective trust fund are based on quoted redemption value on the last business day of the Plan year. 3. INVESTMENTS The fair value of individual investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plan's net assets at December 31, are as follows: 1998 1997 ------------------------------------ Amcast Industrial Corporation common stock $ 3,317,422 $ 5,450,838 Shares of registered investment companies: T.

INCOME TAX STATUS The Internal Revenue Service ruled on July 21, 1992, that the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") and, therefore, the underlying trust is not subject to income tax under present tax law. The Plan was subsequently amended. The Pension Administration Committee believes that the Plan, as amended is operating in conformity with the IRC. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The Pension Administration Committee is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status. 5. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES The Trust is not charged for administrative services performed on its behalf by the Company. The Plan also invests in common stock of the Company which is the Plan Sponsor. 6. CONVERSIONS TO OTHER PLANS Effective March 30, 1998, the Company sold its Rancho Cucamonga, California investment casting operation, Amcast Precision. The employees of this operation were participants in this Plan. The participant balances totaling $1.4 million were transferred to the subsequent owner's benefit plan. The remaining balance was transferred to a new Company-sponsored plan established on September 1, 1997. 7. PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts. 8. YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED) The Plan's Sponsor has developed a plan to modify its internal information technology to be ready for the year 2000 and has begun converting its critical data processing systems. The project also includes determining whether third party service providers have reasonable plans in place to become year 2000 compliant. The Plan's Sponsor currently expects the project to be substantially complete by early 1999 and does not expect this project to have a significant effect on Plan operations. 7 10 SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES 11 Amcast Industrial Corporation 401(k) Salary Deferral Plan EIN 31-0258080 / Plan 002 Line 27a - Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes August 31, 1998 DESCRIPTION OF CURRENT IDENTITY OF ISSUE INVESTMENT COST VALUE - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHARES OF REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANIES * T.
