(c) Exhibits
99 Text of slides to be shown during the Registrant’s presentation on May 16 and May 17, 2006.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On May 16 — 17, 2006, certain members of the Registrant’s management will
meet with institutional investors and will make a presentation. The text
of slides to be shown during the presentation 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 16 — 17, 2006, the dates 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;
unexpected increases in the cost of raw material, 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 and other factors discussed in our Annual and
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
