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 notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 1998. The consolidated balance sheet 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. During the first half of
1999 and 1998, total comprehensive (losses) gains amounted to $(2,201) and $567,
respectively, including $1,513 and $748 of other comprehensive losses related to
foreign currency translation adjustments.

6. Organization
The Company operates in one business segment - industrial knives and saws. The
Company manufactures, markets and services primarily industrial knives and saws
internationally, and its customers include distributors, original equipment
manufacturers and customers purchasing replacement parts and services. The
Company has a leading market share in each of the major sectors it serves: Paper
& 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 65% of its net
sales and 47% of its operating income for the first half of 1999. Its other
international operations account for the remainder and are located primarily in
Europe, 31% 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, 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 six months of 1999 to the first six months of 1998, there was
minimal effect on sales or net income. In addition, in the first half of 1999
there was a decrease in shareholder's equity from December 31, 1998 due to a
$1.5 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.
11
<PAGE>
Second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1998
Net Sales: Net sales remained constant at $37.3 million and increased
.6% to $76.5 million for the second quarter and first half of 1999, respectively
from $37.3 and $76.0 million for the same periods in 1998. The Company
experienced sales declines in its North American operations of 10.7% and 9.6% to
$24.1 and $49.9 million for the second quarter and first half of 1999,
respectively, from $27.0 and $55.2 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 28.2% and 27.9%
to $13.2 and $26.6 million for the second quarter and first half of 1999,
respectively, from $10.3 and $20.8 million for the same periods in 1998,
primarily attributable to the Diacarb and Buland acquisitions.
Gross Profit: Gross profit decreased 12.0% and 5.6% to $10.3 and $22.0
million for the second quarter and first half of 1999 down from $11.7 and $23.3
million for the same periods in 1998. Gross margin decreased to 27.8% and 28.8%
for the second quarter and first half of 1999 compared to 31.2% and 30.6% in the
second quarter and first half of 1998. The Company experienced gross profit
declines in its North American operations of 32.6% and 23.9% to $6.0 and $13.4
million for the second quarter and first half of 1999, respectively, from $8.9
and $17.6 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 53.6% and 50.9% to $4.3 and $8.6 million
for the second quarter and first half of 1999, respectively, from $2.8 and $5.7
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 $8.3 and $16.6 million for the second quarter and
first half of 1999 as compared to $7.5 and $14.9 million for the same periods in
1998 and increased as a percentage of sales to 22.4% and 21.7% from 20.0% and
19.6% 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 $6.3 million for the second quarter and first half of 1999 from $3.0 and
$6.0 million for the same periods in 1998 due to higher average debt outstanding
in the first half of 1999 compared to the first half of 1998.
Income Taxes: Due to pre-tax losses in the second quarter and first
half of 1999, the Company recorded tax benefits at effective tax rates of 35.1%
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 $16.0 million under
existing credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements.
As of June 30, 1999, the Company's total debt and shareholder's deficit was
$120.8 million and $20.3 million, respectively.
Net cash flow provided by operations aggregated $5.0 million for the
first half of 1999 compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 1998. The
increase was primarily attributable to a $3.1 million decrease in working
capital needs, partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in net income.
12
<PAGE>
Cash used in investing activities for the first half of 1999 was $3.0
million compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 1998. The decreased use
of cash is primarily due to the acquisition in the first half of 1998.
Cash used in financing activities for the first half of 1999 was $.4
million compared to $1.6 million of cash provided 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 $3.8 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 $.8 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.
