                     WASHINGTON SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC.

                                 AND SUBSIDIARY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

                  The consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 1998, the
         consolidated statements of operations for the third quarter and first
         nine months ended May 31, 1998 and May 25, 1997 and the consolidated
         statements of cash flows for the first nine months then ended,
         respectively, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the
         opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring
         adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
         results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have
         been made.

                  The balance sheet at August 31, 1997, is derived from the
         audited balance sheet as of that date. Certain information and footnote
         disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
         condensed or omitted. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial
         statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
         and notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 annual report to
         shareholders. The results of operations for interim periods are not
         necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.


2        DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT:

                  On April 30, 1997, the Company amended its agreement with the
         bank for its debt and its line of credit. The agreement requires
         principal payments of $37,500 per month with the loan balance due at
         March 31, 2000. The fair value of the term debt is estimated to be its
         carrying value since the debt has a variable interest rate. At May 31,
         1998, and May 25, 1997 there was no balance outstanding on the line of
         credit under this agreement.


3.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

                  In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 EARNINGS PER
         SHARE. Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully
         diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earning per share.
         Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes
         any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
         Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported
         fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for
         all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to
         conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                                       and

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations:

                  Net sales of $6,635,000 for the quarter ending May 31, 1998
         decreased $38,000 or 0.6% from the third quarter of the prior year.
         Primary changes in sales included a decrease in the small engines
         market which was offset by an increase in the recreational vehicle
         market.

                  Net sales of $17,626,000 for the first nine months ended May
         31, 1998 decreased $409,000 or 2.3% from the first nine months of
         fiscal 1997. Sales reductions in the small engines market and the
         automotive components market were partially offset by increases in the
         agribusiness market and the recreations vehicle market.

                  Gross margin improved to 19.6% of sales in the third quarter
         of fiscal 1998 compared to 15.5% in the prior year's third quarter. The
         first nine months of fiscal 1998 gross margin improved to 18.3%
         compared to the prior year's first nine months gross margin of 15.0%.
         The improved gross margins resulted primarily from cost reductions
         related to lower headcount, reduced depreciation expense and increased
         manufacturing efficiencies.

                  Selling and administrative expenses was $705,000 in the third
         quarter and $1,835,000 in the first nine months. The third quarter was
         $68,000 higher and the first nine months was $24,000 higher than the
         prior years comparable periods due to higher professional services,
         including fees incurred to move to the NASDAQ National Market.

                  Interest and other income was $11,000 higher than the
         comparable quarter of the prior year due to increased interest income
         from a higher money market investment balance. Interest and other
         income for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 was $466,000 lower than
         the first nine months of fiscal 1997. The first quarter of fiscal 1997
         included $410,000 net gain from the disposition of excess equipment
         related to completed or discontinued manufacturing programs.

                  Interest and other expense decreased $15,000 in the third
         quarter of fiscal 1998 and $102,000 in the first nine months of fiscal
         1998 from the comparable periods of the prior year due to lower term
         debt balances.

                  In the first nine months of fiscal 1998, the Company recorded
         a tax provision of $30,800 to cover mandatory state income taxes and
         federal alternative minimum taxes, and was able to recognize the
         benefit of a portion of its net operating loss carry-forwards. The
         Company has not recorded the benefit of net operating losses and other
         net deductible temporary differences in the consolidated statement of
         operations due to the fact that the Company has not been able to
         establish that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will be
         realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

                  On May 31, 1998 working capital was $3,716,000 compared to
         $3,241,000 at August 31, 1997, an increase of $475,000, due primarily
         to improvement in operations. The ratio of current assets to current
         liabilities at May 31, 1998 and August 31, 1997 was 1.82 to 1.0 and
         1.90 to 1.0, respectively.

                  On May 31, 1998, the Company did not have an outstanding
         balance on the line of credit with the bank. As of that date the
         Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,990,000.

                  Company long-term debt of $2,652,000 on May 31, 1998 was
         $20,000 lower than on August 31, 1997. Term debt owed the bank on May
         31, 1998 was $1,057,000 and obligations under capital leases were
         $1,595,000. Regular monthly payments of $890,000 in the first nine
         months were offset by the placement of capital lease financing of
         $870,000 during the same period of fiscal 1998.

                  It is management's belief that its internally generated funds
         combined with the line of credit will be sufficient to enable the
         Company to meet its financial requirements during fiscal 1998.

         Cautionary Statement:

                  The statements included herein which are not historical or
         current facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the
         safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995.
         There are certain important factors which could cause actual results to
         differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made
         herein, including the Company's ability to obtain additional
         manufacturing programs and retain current programs and other factors
         detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports, including the
         report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1997.
