1.  Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated 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.

These  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  audited

amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

2.  Comprehensive Income

The  Company   includes   unrealized  gains  and  losses  from  minimum  pension
liablilities and foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive
income.  During the first quarters of 1999 and 1998,  total  comprehensive  loss
amounted to $1,262 and $296,  respectively,  including  $1,378 and $950 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 58%, 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.  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 66% of its net
sales and 61% of its operating  income for the first quarter of 1999.  Its other
international  operations account for the remainder and are located primarily in
Europe, 31% of first quarter 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  quarter of 1999 to the first  quarter of 1998,  there was minimal
effect on sales or net income.  In addition,  in the first quarter of 1999 there
was a decrease  in  shareholder's  equity from  December  31, 1998 due to a $1.4
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.

First  Quarter  ended March 31, 1999  Compared to First  Quarter ended March 31,
1998

         Net Sales:  Net sales  increased  1.4% to $39.2  million  for the first
quarter  of 1999 from $38.7  million  for the first  quarter of 1998,  primarily
attributable  to the  fourth  quarter  1998  Diacarb  and  Buland  acquisitions,
significantly  offset by softness in the paper, wood and metal industries in the
North American  market caused by pricing  pressures from Asian,  South American,
Russian and domestic  competitors.  The Company  experienced sales reductions in
its North American  operations  (8.5% to $25.8 million) for the first quarter of
1999 compared to the same period in 1998, primarily  attributable to the factors
noted above. The Company experienced sales improvements (27.6% to $13.4 million)
in its other  operations  for the first  quarter  of 1999  compared  to the same
period in 1998 primarily attributable to the Diacarb and Buland acquisitions.

         Gross Profit:  Gross profit  increased  slightly to $11.7 for the first
quarter of 1999 up from $11.6  million  for the same  period in 1998,  primarily
attributable to the Diacarb and Buland acquisitions, significantly offset by the
above mentioned  factors.  Gross margin decreased to 29.7% for the first quarter
of 1999 compared to 30.0% for the same period in 1998 primarily  attributable to
softness in the North  American  market caused by the factors  noted above.  The
Company  experienced  gross  profit  declines in its North  American  operations
(14.9% to $7.4  million)  for the first  quarter  of 1999  compared  to the same
period in 1998 primarily  attributable  to the factors noted above.  The Company
experienced  gross  profit  improvements  (48.3% to $4.3  million)  in its other
operations  for the first  quarter of 1999  compared to the same period in 1998,
primarily attributable to the Diacarb and Buland acquisitions.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses:  Selling,  general and
administrative expenses were $8.3 million for the first quarter of 1999 compared
to $7.4  million  for the  same  period  in  1998.  The  increase  is  primarily
attributable  to the  Diacarb  and Buland  acquisitions.  Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  increased  to  21.1%  from  19.2%  of  sales  for  the
respective periods.

         Interest  Expense,  net: Net interest expense increased to $3.1 million
for the first  quarter of 1999 from $3.0 million for the same period in 1998 due
to higher average debt  outstanding in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the
first quarter of 1998.

         Income Taxes:  The Company's  effective tax rate decreased to 40.5% for
the  first  quarter  of 1999  compared  to 44.5%  for the same  period  in 1998,
primarily attributable to lower tax rates in some foreign 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 $16.9 million under
existing credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements.
As of March 31, 1999,  the Company's  total debt and  shareholder's  deficit was
$118.6 million and $19.4 million, respectively.

         Net cash flow  provided by operations  aggregated  $6.2 million for the
first quarter of 1999  compared to $5.0 million  provided for the same period in
1998.  The increase was  primarily  attributable  to a $1.5 million  decrease in
working capital needs.

         Cash used in  investing  activities  for the first  quarter of 1999 was
$1.4  million as  compared  to $2.6  million  for the same  period in 1998.  The
decreased  use of cash is primarily  due to a $.5 increase in cash provided from
increased  sales of and reduced  purchases of property,  plant and equipment and
$.4 million in purchases of operations in the first quarter of 1998.

          Cash used in financing  activities  for the first  quarter of 1999 was
$2.9 million as compared to $1.8  million used for the same period in 1998.  The
increased  use of cash in the first quarter of 1999  primarily  represents a $.8
million net decrease in debt borrowings.

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 an implementation plan to resolve
potential  problems has been developed.  The Company is currently in the process
of  converting,  modifying,  and upgrading its systems and software to Year 2000
compliant  systems and software,  as necessary.  The Company believes that about
75% of its  critical  systems are Year 2000  compliant,  and that the  remaining
critical systems will be compliant by July 1999.

         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 on September 30, 1998.  Non-compliant  embedded
systems will be replaced or modified as necessary by July 1999.

         The Company has incurred  approximately $3.3 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  $1.3 million,  including  minor upgrades to
address Year 2000 compliance  issues.  The Company  anticipates  that it will be
able to achieve  Year 2000  compliance  with  respect to  internal  systems  and
software and embedded  systems and does not  currently  anticipate  any material
disruption in its business operations to achieve this goal.

         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 in the event it does not  complete all phases of the
Year 2000  program.  The Company  plans to evaluate the status of  completion in
June, 1999 to determine whether such contingency  plans are necessary,  although
at this time the Company  knows of no reason its Year 2000  program  will not be
completed in a timely manner.
