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
consolidated  financial  statements  and related notes included in the Company's
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The  consolidated  balance sheet
at December 31, 1999, has been derived from the audited  consolidated  financial
statements at that date.  Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current year presentation.

In June,  2000,  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (SEC)  issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101- Revenue Recognition in Financial  Statements,
which is  required  to be adopted no later  than the  fourth  fiscal  quarter of
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The statement requires companies
to recognize  revenue upon delivery of products to the  customer,  which is when
title passes.  The Company does not  anticipate the adoption of the new SAB will
have a significant impact on its earnings or financial position.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,  which is required
to be adopted in fiscal years  beginning after June 15, 2000. The Statement will
require the Company to recognize  any  derivatives  on the balance sheet at fair
value.  The Company does not  anticipate  that the adoption of the new Statement
will have a significant effect on its earnings or financial position.

2.  Acquisitions

In January 2000, the Company's German  subsidiary  acquired all of the shares of
Boehler  Miller  Messer und  Saegen  GmbH  ("BMMS").  BMMS is  headquartered  in
Waidhofen,  Austria.  The purchase price consisted of 13,300 Austrian Schillings
(approximately  $956)  in  cash,  net of  cash  acquired,  and  63,000  Austrian
Schillings (approximately $4,530) in assumed debt. The Company's lines of credit
were increased in order to finance the cash payment. Additional consideration is
contingent  upon BMMS achieving  certain annual earnings and would be payable in
2002. BMMS produces knives,  saws and ground flats for the wood, paper and metal
industries  with  annual  sales of  approximately  300,000  Austrian  Schillings
(approximately  $21,600).  The  acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
method.  There was no goodwill on this acquisition.

3.  Comprehensive Income

The  Company   includes   minimum  pension   liabilities  and  foreign  currency
translation  adjustments in other  comprehensive  income. For the quarters ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999,  total  comprehensive  (losses)  income amounted to
($3,368)  and  $127,   respectively,   including  ($1,032)  and  $417  of  other
comprehensive   (losses)   income  related  to  foreign   currency   translation
adjustments.  For the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,  total
comprehensive  losses  amounted to $10,150 and $2,074,  respectively,  including
$1,916  and $1,096 of other  comprehensive  losses  related to foreign  currency
translation adjustments.

on the unused portion of the U.S. dollar component of the facility.


5. Income Taxes

IKS  Corporation,  of which the Company is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  files a
consolidated Federal income tax return which includes the Company. The Company's
provision/benefit  for income taxes  includes  U.S.  federal,  state,  and local
income  taxes as well as non-U.S.  income  taxes in certain  jurisdictions.  The
current and deferred tax  provision  and benefit for the Company are record as
if it filed on a stand-alone basis. All participants in the consolidated  income
tax return are  separately  liable for the full  amount of the taxes,  including
penalties and interest,  if any, which may be assessed  against the consolidated
group. The current  provision/benefit for United States income taxes is recorded
to the intercompany  account with IKS Corporation.  The Company did not record a
tax  benefit  related to the  pre-tax  losses in the United  States for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 in accordance with income tax accounting rules.

7. Disposition of Businesses and Other Non-recurring Charges

The operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, includes second
quarter non-recurring charges of $2,600, comprised primarily of a $1,981 loss on
the sale of certain  service  centers and $449 in severance costs related to the
resignation of the Company's former CEO.

In May and June, 2000 the Company  completed the sale of six service centers for
a combined selling price of $1,480,  comprised of $1,290 in cash and a $190 note
receivable.  These service centers were located in Illinois,  Wisconsin, Oregon,
Virginia,  Tennessee and Georgia.  The decision to sell the service  centers was
made in order to redeploy assets to the Company's strategic core initiatives.

On April 25, 2000, P. Daniel Miller, the Company's  President and CEO, submitted
his resignation to the Board of Directors of the Company  effective May 1, 2000.
As of that date,  the Board of  Directors  established  an  executive  committee
comprised of Messrs.  Thomas W.G. Meyer,  Executive Vice  President,  Europe and
Asia; William M. Schult, Executive Vice President-CFO,  Treasurer and Secretary;
Bradley H. Widmann, Vice President - Operations for the Americas; and Jeffrey H.
Welday,  Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the Americas.  This committee
is  responsible  for all  operations of the Company and reports  directly to the
Board of Directors.

         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

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,
1999.

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 sells  products 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 58% of its net
sales and  10.4% of its  operating  income  for the  first  nine  month of 2000,
excluding  the effect of $2.6 million of second  quarter  non-recurring  charges
discussed  in  Note  7.  Its  other  international  operations  account  for the
remainder and are located  primarily in Europe,  38% of first nine months of net
sales,  and 77% of first nine months of 2000  operating  income,  excluding  the
effect of the $2.6 million of non-recurring charges.

         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,  Austria,  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,  Austrian,  Dutch, French,  Canadian,  Mexican, Chinese and
other 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 U.S.
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 U.S.  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 2000 to the first nine  months of 1999,  there was a negative  impact of $4.4
million (net of the  currency  impact on the BMMS sales) on sales with a minimal
impact on net income. In addition,  in the first nine months of 2000 there was a
decrease in  shareholder's  equity from  December 31, 1999 due to a $1.9 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 fifteen
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, 2000 compared to third quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1999

         Net Sales:  Net sales  decreased  1.4% to $36.9  million  for the third
quarter and increased  6.9% to $121.9  million for the first nine months of 2000
from  $37.5  and  $114.0   million  for  the  same  periods  in  1999  primarily
attributable to the acquisition of BMMS in January 2000 and offset by continuing
problems in the North American  organization and market. The Company experienced
sales reductions in its North American  operations  (14.5% to $21.3 million) for
the third quarter and (6.0% to $70.3  million) for the first nine months of 2000
compared  to the same  periods  in 1999  primarily  attributable  to  continuing
organizational  issues and to softness in the North American market. The Company
experienced sales improvements  (24.6% to $15.7 million) in its other operations
for the third quarter and (31.6% to $51.6  million) for the first nine months of
2000  compared to the same  period in 1999  primarily  attributable  to the BMMS
acquisition.

         Gross Profit:  Gross profit decreased to $9.8 and $32.6 million for the
third quarter and first nine months of 2000 from $11.2 and $33.2 million for the
same  periods  in  1999.  Excluding  the  effect  of the  non-recurring  charges
discussed in Note 7, gross  profit  would have been $33.1  million for the first
nine months of 2000.  Gross  margin  decreased  to 26.6% and 26.7% for the third
quarter and first nine  months of 2000  compared to 29.8% and 29.1% for the same
periods in 1999 primarily attributable to the factors noted above and the second
quarter  non-recurring  charges.  Excluding  the  second  quarter  non-recurring
charges,  gross  profit for the first nine months of 2000 would have been 27.1%.
The Company  experienced gross profit declines in its North American  operations
(24.6% to $4.9 million) for the third  quarter and (17.6% to $16.4  million) for
the first nine  months of 2000  compared to the same  periods in 1999  primarily
attributable   to  the  factors  noted  above.   Excluding  the  second  quarter
non-recurring  charges,  the North American  operations  decline in gross profit
would have been 15.1% to $16.9  million  in the first nine  months of 2000.  The
Company  experienced  gross profit  improvements  (6.4% to $5.0  million) in its
other  operations  for the third  quarter and (21.8% to $16.2  million)  for the
first  nine  months  of 2000  compared  to the same  periods  in 1999  primarily
attributable to the BMMS acquisition in January 2000.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses:  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  were $8.7 and $29.7  million for the third quarter and
first  nine  months  of 2000  compared  to $8.5 and $25.1  million  for the same
periods in 1999. The increase,  net of the second quarter non-recurring charges,
is  primarily  attributable  to  the  BMMS  acquisition.  Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  increased  to 23.6% and 24.4%  from 22.6% and 22.0% of
sales for the respective  periods.  Excluding the second  quarter  non-recurring
charges,  selling, general and administrative expenses would have only increased
to 22.7% for the first nine months of 2000.

         Interest  Expense,   net:  Net  interest  expense  remained  relatively
constant at $3.2 and $9.5 million for the third quarter and first nine months of
2000 compared to the same periods in 1999 .

         Income Taxes:  Due to pre-tax  losses in the United States in the third
quarter  and first nine  months of 2000 for which the Company did not record the
related current tax benefits in accordance with income tax accounting rules, and
as a result of pre-tax  income in the Company's  other  operations for which the
Company recorded related tax provisions, the Company has recorded a consolidated
provision for income tax on a consolidated  pre-tax loss of $6.9 million. Due to
pre-tax  losses in the United  States in the third quarter and first nine months
of  1999,  the  Company  recorded  related  tax  benefits  which  resulted  in a
consolidated tax benefit at effective tax rates of 34.2% and 34.1% respectively.
The significant change in income taxes from 1999 is due to the above factors and
the recording of tax benefits related to the pre-tax losses in the United States
in 1999, but not in 2000.

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 $15.0 million under
existing credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements.
As of September 30, 2000, the Company's  total long term debt and  shareholder's
deficit was $111.9 and $33.0 million, respectively.

         Net cash flow  provided in  operations  aggregated  $.1 million for the
first nine  months of 2000  compared to net cash flow  provided of $8.3  million
provided by operations for the same period in 1999.  This decrease was primarily
attributable to a $7.3 million  increase in net loss and a $3.7 million increase
in  working  capital  offset  by the $2.0  million  loss on the  disposition  of
businesses.

         Cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2000 was
$3.4 million compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 1999. The decreased
use of cash is primarily due to a decrease in net capital expenditures  compared
to 1999.

         Cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2000
was $5.1  million  compared to cash used of $3.2  million for the same period in
1999. The increase in cash provided  compared to the prior year is primarily due
to increased net borrowings in 2000 compared to 1999 due to the BMMS acquisition
and increased working capital needs.
