ITEM 9:   REGULATION FD

On May 7, 2003, certain members of the Registrant’s management will meet with securities analysts and will make a slide presentation. The text of slides to be shown during the presentation and the corresponding script is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K.

The furnishing of this Exhibit is not intended to constitute a representation that such furnishing is required by Regulation FD or that the information it contains includes material investor information that is not otherwise publicly available. Statements in Exhibit 99 that are not strictly historical are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws. Investors are cautioned that such statements are only predictions, and speak only as of May 7, 2003, the date of the presentation. The Registrant does not assume any obligation to update such information in the future. The Registrant’s actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties that exist in the Registrant’s operations and business environment including, but not limited to: the impact of increasing competition or deterioration of economic conditions in LaBarge’s markets; cutbacks in defense spending by the U.S. Government; the outcome of litigation the Company is party to; increases in the cost of raw materials, labor and other resources necessary to operate LaBarge’s business; and the availability, amount, type and cost of financing for LaBarge and any changes to that financing.
