The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments,

("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.

These  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  audited
consolidated  financial  statements  and related notes included in the Company's

at December 31, 1998 has been derived  from the audited  consolidated  financial
statements at that date.  Certain 1998 amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current year presentation.

2.  Comprehensive Income

The  Company   includes   minimum  pension   liabilities  and  foreign  currency
translation adjustments in other comprehensive income. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998,  total  comprehensive  (losses)  income amounted to
$(2,074)  and  $1,665,  respectively,   including  $(1,096)  and  $80  of  other

& Packaging;  Wood; Metal; and  Plastic/Recycling.  The Company's operations are
principally in the United States, Germany and Canada,  representing 57%, 23% and
8%  of  1999  net  sales,  respectively.  The  Company  plans  to  continue  its
international  growth.  As a result of the  Company's  broad  product  range and
numerous  applications,  no customer accounts for more than 3% of net sales. The
Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does
not require collateral.

Sales attributable to German and Canadian operations are based on external sales
generated by subsidiaries located in those countries.

     The Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995  provides a "safe
harbor" for certain forward  looking  statements.  Certain matters  discussed in
this  filing  could be  characterized  as forward  looking  statements,  such as
statements  relating  to plans for future  expansion,  other  capital  spending,
financing  sources and  effects of  regulation  and  competition.  Such  forward
looking  statements  involve important risks and uncertainties  that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward looking
statements.

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,
1998.

General

         The  Company is a global  leader in the  manufacturing,  servicing  and
marketing of industrial and commercial  machine knives and saws. 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
South 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 66% of its net
sales and 44% of its  operating  income for the first nine  months of 1999.  Its
other  international  operations  account  for the  remainder  and  are  located
primarily in Europe,  30% of first nine months of 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,  Dutch,  French,  Canadian,  Mexican 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 nine  months of 1999 to the first nine  months of 1998,  there was
minimal effect on sales or net income. In addition,  in the first nine months of
1999 there was a decrease in shareholder's  equity from December 31, 1998 due to
a $1.1 million change in foreign currency  translation  adjustment.  To mitigate
the  short-term  effect of changes in currency  exchange  rates on the Company's
foreign  currency based purchases and its functional  currency based sales,  the
Company  occasionally  hedges its exposure by entering into foreign exchange and
U.S.  dollar forward  contracts to hedge a portion of its budgeted  (future) net
foreign exchange and U.S. dollar  transactions  over periods ranging from one to
six months.

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.

Third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to third quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1998

         Net  Sales:  Net sales  increased  4.5% and 1.9% to $37.5  million  and
$114.0  million for the third  quarter and first nine months 1999,  respectively
from  $35.8  and  $111.9  million  for the same  periods  in 1998.  The  Company
experienced sales declines in its North American  operations of 4.2% and 7.9% to
$24.9 and $74.8  million  for the third  quarter  and first nine months of 1999,
respectively,  from $26.0 and $81.2  million for the same  periods in 1998.  The
sales  declines are primarily  attributable  to  organizational  issues and to a
lesser extent due to pricing  pressures from Asian,  South American and domestic
competitors  that led to a loss of  business  in the major  markets  sectors the
Company serves.  The Company has addressed these  organizational  issues through
several  senior  management  changes,  including the hiring of a new CEO. In its
other operations,  the Company experienced sales improvements of 27.3% and 27.7%
to $12.6 and $39.2  million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1999,
respectively,  from  $9.9  and  $30.7  million  for the  same  periods  in 1998,
primarily attributable to the Diacarb and Buland acquisitions.

         Gross Profit:  Gross profit  increased 5.4% and decreased 2.0% to $11.2
and $33.2 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1999 from $10.6
and $33.9 million for the same periods in 1998.  Gross margin increased to 29.8%
and  decreased  to 29.1% for the third  quarter  and first  nine  months of 1999
compared to 29.6% and 30.3% in the third  quarter and first nine months of 1998.
The Company  experienced gross profit declines in its North American  operations
of 15.0% and 21.5% to $6.5 and $19.9  million  for the third  quarter  and first
nine  months of 1999,  respectively,  from $7.7 and $25.3  million  for the same
periods in 1998.  The gross profit  declines are primarily  attributable  to the
above  mentioned  factors.  Gross  profit  for the  Company's  other  operations
increased  62.1% and 54.7% to $4.7 and $13.3  million for the third  quarter and
first nine months of 1999, respectively, from $2.9 and $8.6 million for the same
periods in 1998, primarily attributable to the Diacarb and Buland acquisitions.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses:  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  were $8.5 and $25.1  million for the third quarter and
first nine  months of 1999 as  compared  to $7.1 and $22.0  million for the same
periods in 1998 and  increased as a percentage  of sales to 22.6% and 22.0% from
19.9% and 19.7% of sales for the respective  periods.  The increase is primarily
attributable to the Diacarb and Buland acquisitions.

         Interest Expense,  net: Net interest expense increased slightly to $3.1
and $9.4  million for the third  quarter and first nine months of 1999 from $3.0
and  $9.0  million  for the same  periods  in 1998 due to  higher  average  debt
outstanding  in the first nine months of 1999  compared to the first nine months
of 1998.

         Income Taxes: Due to pre-tax losses in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1999,  the Company  recorded tax  benefits at  effective  tax rates of
34.2% and 34.1%  respectively.  For the same  periods in 1998,  the  Company had
pre-tax  income and recorded tax  provisions  at an effective tax rate of 44.5%.
The change in the effective tax rates from 1998 is due to significant changes in
income contributions from the Company's operations in certain tax jurisdictions.

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 $18.5 million under
existing credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company's total debt and shareholder's deficit was
$119.4 million and $20.2 million, respectively.

         Net cash flow  provided by operations  aggregated  $8.3 million for the
first nine months of 1999  compared to $9.7 million for the same period in 1998.
The  decrease  was  primarily  attributable  to a $2.6  million  decrease in net
income.

                                       12

<PAGE>

         Cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 1999 was
$4.0 million compared to $7.4 million for the same period in 1998. The decreased
use of cash is  primarily  due to  reduced  purchases  of  property,  plant  and
equipment of $1.6 million compared to 1998 and to the acquisitions in 1998.

         Cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 1999 was
$3.2 million compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 1998. The increased
use of cash compared to the prior year is primarily due to repayments of amounts
due to parent and decreased net borrowings in 1999 compared to 1998.

Year 2000

         The  Year  2000  problem  exists  because  many  computer  systems  and
applications  use  two-digit  fields to  designate a year.  As the century  date
change occurs,  date  sensitive  systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900, or
not at all.  This  inability to  recognize  or properly  treat the year 2000 may
cause systems to process financial and operational information incorrectly.

         In 1996, the Company began to develop a plan to upgrade its information
systems to enable it to realize cost savings through centralization of functions
that would result in reductions  in working  capital items such as inventory and
accounts  receivable.  This plan also was  developed  to assess and resolve Year
2000 compliance issues potentially  affecting the Company,  both with respect to
internal  systems and systems on which the Company's  major vendors,  suppliers,
and distributors are reliant.  To date, the Company has completed the assessment
phase of its internal information systems and successfully  implemented its plan
to resolve  potential  problems.  The Company believes that 100% of its critical
systems are Year 2000 compliant.

         The Company has also  assessed the  embedded  systems that operate such
items as manufacturing,  phone, security,  heating and air conditioning systems.
This assessment was completed in September 30, 1998. All non-compliant  embedded
systems have been replaced or modified as necessary.

         The Company has incurred  approximately $4.1 million in costs primarily
to upgrade its systems,  and to a lesser extent to address Year 2000 issues. The
Company  estimates  costs  associated  with  scheduled  system  upgrades for the
remainder of 1999 will approximate $.5 million.

         The Company has made inquiries and gathered information  regarding Year
2000 compliance exposures faced by its principal vendors and suppliers,  and its
major  dealers  and  distributors.  No major part or critical  operation  of any
segment  of the  Company's  business  is  reliant  on a  single  source  for raw
materials,  supplies,  or services,  and the Company has  multiple  distribution
channels for most of its products.  Based on our inquiries, the Company believes
that no critical  supplier,  vendor or distributor will be adversely affected or
experience business interruptions due to Year 2000 issues.  However, should this
occur,  the  Company  believes  it  will  be  able  to  find   cost-competitive,
alternative  sources for raw  materials,  supplies,  and  services  necessary to
continue production and distribution.

         The  costs  of the  project  and the  completion  dates  are  based  on
management's best estimates,  which were derived utilizing numerous  assumptions
of future events  including the availability of certain  resources,  third party
Year 2000  compliance  modification  plans,  and other factors.  There can be no
guarantee  that the  Company  will be  completely  successful  in its efforts to
address Year 2000 issues,  or that these  estimates  will be achieved and actual
results  could  differ  materially  from these  estimates.  The  Company  has no
contingency  plans in place.  To date,  the Company has  completed its Year 2000
project  with  respect  to  internal  systems  and  discontinued  the use of any
non-compliant business systems.
