1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim  consolidated  condensed financial  statements contain all
adjustments,  consisting  of normal  recurring  adjustments,  which are,  in the
opinion  of  the  management  of  International   Knife  &  Saw,  Inc.  and  its
consolidated  subsidiaries,  ("the  Company"),  necessary to present  fairly the
consolidated  financial position and consolidated results of operations and cash
flows of the Company.  Results of operations  for the periods  presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.

As  of  January  1,  1998,  the  Company   adopted   Statement  130,   Reporting
Comprehensive Income.  Statement 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and
display of  comprehensive  income and its components;  however,  the adoption of
this  Statement  had no  impact on the  Company's  net  income or  shareholder's
deficit. Statement 130 requires foreign currency translation adjustments,  which
prior to  adoption  were  reported  separately  in  shareholder's  deficit to be
included in other  comprehensive  income.  Prior year financial  statements have
been  reclassified to conform to the  requirements of Statement 130. For the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive gains (losses) amounted
to $567 and  $(47),  including  $748 and  $1,057 of other  comprehensive  losses
related to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax benefits of $600
and $869, respectively.

These  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  audited
consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 1997. The consolidated condensed Balance Sheet at December 31, 1997 has been
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

2. Acquisitions

In June, 1998, the Company  completed the acquisition of the assets of Valiquet,
Inc., Des Plaines,  IL, for approximately $800 in cash, $29 in assumed debt, and
a $40  promissory  note to the seller  subject  to post  closing  entries.  This
service center acquisition was financed from available cash balances.  The above
acquisition generates annual sales of approximately $1,200 and was accounted for
by the purchase method. Goodwill totaled $485 on this acquisition.

In February,  1998, the Company  completed the acquisitions of the assets of the
Atlanta, GA division of K.S.W.  Corporation and Sheridan Saw Works, Sheridan, OR
for  approximately  $400 in cash,  post closing  contingent  payments of $55 for
achieving certain  annualized  earnings levels and a $100 promissory note to one
of the  sellers,  subject to  post-closing  adjustments.  These  service  center
acquisitions were financed from available cash balances.  The above acquisitions
generate  annual  sales of  approximately  $500 and  were  accounted  for by the
purchase method. Goodwill totaled $300 on these acquisitions.

The  consolidated   financial  statements  include  the  results  of  operations
generated by and financial  position of the above acquisitions from the dates of
acquisition.

3. Foreign Currency Risk

The Company's  operating results are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange  rates as well as the currency  translation  of its foreign  operations
into U.S.  dollars.  The Company  manufactures  products  in the U.S.,  Germany,
Canada and China and exports  products to more than 75 countries.  The Company's
foreign sales, the majority of which occur in European countries, are subject to
exchange rate volatility.  The Company has not  historically  hedged its foreign
currency risk.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
        Results of Operations

         The  following  discussion  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and related notes included in the Company's
Form 10-K as of and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1997.

General

         The  Company is a global  leader in the  manufacturing,  servicing  and
marketing of industrial  and commercial  machine knives and saws.  Together with
its predecessor,  the Company has been manufacturing  knives and saws for nearly
100 years,  beginning in Europe and  expanding its presence to the United States
in the 1960s. The Company operates on an international  basis with facilities in
North  America,  Europe,  Asia and Latin  America and  products  sold in over 75
countries.  The  Company  offers a broad  range of  products,  used for  various
applications in numerous markets.

Presence outside the U.S.

         The  Company's  North  American  operations  account for 73% of its net
sales  and 77% of its  operating  income.  Its  other  international  operations
account for the remainder and are located primarily in Europe, 22% of first half
sales, and to a lesser extent in Asia.

         The Company's  operating results are subject to fluctuations in foreign
currency  exchange  rates as well as the  currency  translation  of its  foreign
operations into U.S.  dollars.  The Company  manufactures  products in the U.S.,
Germany,  Canada and China and exports  products to more than 75 countries.  The
Company's foreign sales, the majority of which occur in European countries,  are
subject to exchange  rate  volatility.  In  addition,  the Company  consolidates
German,  Canadian and Asian operations and changes in exchange rates relative to
the U.S. dollar have impacted financial  results.  As a result, a decline in the
value of the dollar  relative  to these  other  currencies  can have a favorable
effect on the  profitability  of the Company and an increase in the value of the
dollar  relative to these  other  currencies  can have a negative  effect on the
profitability of the Company.  Comparing exchange rates for the first six months
of 1998 to the first six months of 1997, the weaker German Mark, Canadian Dollar
and Indonesian Rupiah had the translation  effect of decreasing first six months
1998 sales by $1.7 million with minimal effect on net earnings.  In addition, in
the first six months of 1998 there was a decrease in  shareholder's  equity from
December 31, 1997 due to a $.7 million  change in foreign  currency  translation
adjustment. The Company has not historically hedged its foreign currency risk.

         Subsequent   to  December  31,   1997,   the   Indonesian   Rupiah  has
significantly  declined in value  relative to the U.S.  dollar.  At December 31,
1997,  the exchange rate was 5,444 Rupiah to one U.S.  dollar.  At June 30, 1998
the rate had  increased to 14,692 Rupiah to one U.S.  dollar,  but at August 10,
1998 the rate had decreased to 12,975 Rupiah to one U.S.  dollar.  In 1998,  the
Company has limited its  currency  exposure by billing the majority of its sales
to Indonesian customers in U.S. dollars.

Results of Operations

         As  used  in the  following  discussion  of the  Company's  results  of
operations,  (i) the term "gross profit" means the dollar difference between the
Company's net sales and cost of sales and (ii) the term "gross margin" means the
Company's gross profit divided by its net sales.

Second  quarter and six months  ended June 30, 1998  compared to second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997

         Net Sales:  Net sales remained  constant at $37.3 million and increased
12.0%  to  $76.0  million  for the  second  quarter  and  first  half  of  1998,
respectively from $37.4 and $67.9 million for the same periods in 1997. Softness
in the wood industry  caused by wet weather,  pricing  pressures  from Asian and
domestic  competitors  and a reduction in  production  capacity  resulting  from
decreased demand in the Asian,  western U.S. and Canadian markets contributed to
the flat second quarter sales and partially  offset the first half 1998 increase
in net sales attributable to the second quarter 1997  acquisitions.  The Company
experienced  sales  improvements  in its North  American  operations of 1.0% and
12.9% to $27.0 million and $55.2  million for the second  quarter and first half
of 1998,  respectively,  from $26.9 and $49.0  million  for the same  periods in
1997. In its other operations,  the Company  experienced a sales decline of 1.9%
and  improvement  of 9.6% to $10.3  million  and $20.8  million  for the  second
quarter and first half of 1998,  respectively,  from $10.5 and $18.9 million for
the same periods in 1997. The effects of a weaker German Mark,  Canadian  Dollar
and  Indonesian  Rupiah in the first half of 1998 compared to the same period in
1997 resulted in a translation  effect that reduced second quarter and first six
months 1998 sales by $.5 and $1.7 million, respectively.

         Gross Profit:  Gross profit increased 5.2% and 12.4% to $11.7 and $23.3
million  for the second  quarter  and first half of 1998 up from $11.1 and $20.7
million  for the  same  periods  in  1997,  primarily  attributable  to the 1997
acquisitions  offset by softness  in the wood  industry  caused by wet  weather,
pricing  pressures  from  Asian and  domestic  competitors  and a  reduction  in
production  capacity resulting from decreased demand in the Asian,  western U.S.
and Canadian  markets.  Gross margin increased to 31.2% and 30.6% for the second
quarter and first half of 1998 compared to 29.6% and 30.5% in the second quarter
and first half of 1997. The Company experienced gross profit improvements in its
North  American  operations  of 1.7% and 14.6% to $8.9 and $17.6 million for the
second quarter and first half of 1998, respectively, from $8.0 and $15.3 million
for the same periods in 1997, primarily attributable to the factors noted above.
Gross profit for the Company's  other  operations  decreased  2.9% and increased
6.0% to $2.8 and $5.7  million  for the second  quarter  and first half of 1998,
respectively, from $3.1 and $5.4 million for the same periods in 1997.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses:  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses were $7.5 and $14.9 million for the second  quarter and
first half of 1998 as compared to $7.1 and $12.9 million for the same periods in
1997 and  increased as a  percentage  of sales to 20.0% and 19.6% from 18.9% and
19.0% of sales for the respective periods.

         Interest  Expense,  net: Net interest expense remained constant at $3.0
million for the second  quarter of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997, and
increased  to $6.0  million for the first half of 1998 from $5.8 million for the
first half of 1997.

         Income  Taxes:  The Company's  effective  tax rate remained  relatively
constant  at 44.5% for the second  quarter  and first half of 1998  compared  to
44.5% and 45.1% for the same periods in 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Company's  principal  capital  requirements  are to  fund  working
capital  needs,  to meet  required debt and interest  payments,  and to complete
planned maintenance and expansion expenditures. The Company anticipates that its
operating cash flow, together with available  borrowings of $16.7 million and DM
3,258 under existing credit  facilities,  will be sufficient to meet its capital
requirements.  As of June 30, 1998, the Company's  total debt and  shareholder's
deficit was $112.0 million and $19.2 million, respectively.


                                       12

<PAGE>

         Net cash flow  provided by operations  aggregated  $3.6 million for the
first half of 1998  compared to net cash flow used in operations of $1.8 million
for the same period in 1997. The increase was primarily  attributable  to a $4.8
million decrease in working capital needs.

         Cash used in investing  activities  for the first half of 1998 was $5.1
million compared to $15.6 million for the same period in 1997. The decreased use
of cash is primarily due to the acquisitions in the second quarter of 1997.

          Cash provided by financing  activities  for the first half of 1998 was
$1.6 million  compared to $8.9 million provided for the same period in 1997. The
decrease  in cash  provided  compared  to the  prior  year is  primarily  due to
increased borrowings in 1997 to fund the second quarter 1997 acquisitions.
