                (in thousands except share and per share amounts)

1.       Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented
herein have been prepared by Simonds Industries Inc. ("Simonds" or the
Company") and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a
normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The consolidated balance sheet presented as of January 2, 1999 has been derived
from the consolidated financial statements that have been audited by the
Company's independent public accountants. The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to those rules and regulations, but the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Operating results for the six months ended July 3, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 1,
2000. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January
2, 1999.

2.       Acquisitions


On May 8, 1998, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of W.
Notting Limited. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the
purchase price has been allocated based on the fair market value of the
underlying assets and liabilities. The purchase allocation reflects accruals of
approximately $500 for lease contracts on facilities that are being closed and
severance pay accruals of approximately $300 for 24 employees who have been or
will be  terminated. At July 3, 1999 the remaining accruals were $415 for lease
contracts on facilities and $293 for severance pay. Additionally, approximately
$1,000 in property, plant and equipment was reclassified to other assets for
buildings held for resale. Buildings are stated at fair market value. The
consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of W.
Notting Limited subsequent to the date of acquisition.

Inventories at January 2, 1999 and July 3, 1999 were as follows (in thousands).

5. Operating and Geographic Segment Information and Concentration of Credit Risk

On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," which establishes standards for reporting operating segments of
business enterprise. The new rules establish revised standards for public
companies relating to the reporting of financial and descriptive information
about their operating segments in financial statements. Operating segments are
components of an enterprise, which are evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker is the

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

President,Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company has
identified its reportable operating business segment as industrial cutting
tools and related machinery, based on how the business is strategically
managed.

The Company's cutting tool business segment consists of metal (51% of 1998 net
sales), wood (42%), and paper (7%) cutting products. The cutting tool business
segment is managed as a single strategic unit which derives its revenues
primarily from sales to privately owned distributors throughout the world.

No single customer accounts for 10% or more of consolidated net sales. Foreign
net sales are attributed based on the location of the Company's subsidiary
responsible for the sale.

6.  Selected consolidating financial statements of parent, guarantors, and
    non-guarantors

The Company's wholly owned domestic subsidiaries fully and unconditionally
guarantee, on a senior subordinated basis, the Notes, jointly and severally.
The guarantor subsidiary data below includes financial statements of
Armstrong Manufacturing Company. The non-guarantor subsidiaries data below
includes combining financial statements of Wespa, Simonds UK, UK Holding Co.,
and Simonds Canada. Separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries
have not been presented because management believes that such financial
statements are not material to investors. In addition, the Senior Credit
Facility is guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by all guarantors. The
following data summarizes the consolidating results of the Company on the
equity method of accounting for the following periods presented:

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             (Dollars in Thousands)

The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended July 3, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 27, 1998

Net Sales: Net Sales for the second quarter of 1999 were 1.6% or $510 lower
than second quarter 1998 net sales.  U.S. and Canadian  operations  were up
$200 from 1998 primarly due to the inclusion of W. Notting Ltd. operations in
results as of April 30, 1998, the effective date of the  acquisition.  Notting
sales were $725 higher in the second  quarter of 1999 compared to the second
quarter of 1998  primarily due to the additional month of sales in the 1999
period.  However, domestic export, U.K. and German operations were  lower by
$187, $404 and  $822, respectively, reflecting a softness in demand in the
Company's wood and metal products and the unfavorable impact of exchange rate
changes of the German Mark and British Pound.


Gross Profit Margin: Gross Profit decreased to $9,930 for the second quarter of
1999 from $10,542 for the corresponding period in 1998. Gross Profit as a
percentage of net sales was 31.4 % and 32.8% for the three months ended July 3,
1999 and June 27, 1998, respectively. Domestic operations continue to
experience spending and volume variances as production levels remain low in
response to a shortfall in planned shipments.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 20.3% or $6,405 and
19.4% or $6,229 for the second quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
majority of the increase in 1999 is the addition of Notting, which accounted
for $117 of the additional expense.

Operating Income: As a result of the foregoing,  operating income decreased
$788    in the second quarter of 1999 when compared to the comparable period in
1998.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was higher in the second quarter of 1999
compared to the corresponding period in 1998 due to the recapitalization of the
Company in July 1998. The recapitalization constituted refinancing most of the
Company's debt with $100 million of notes bearing an annual interest rate of
10.25%.


Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes was approximately $431 for the
second quarter of 1999, as compared to approximately $1,225 for the second
quarter of 1998. The income tax rates are higher than the statutory rate
principally as a result of state

                                       14


<PAGE>   15
income tax provisions, nondeductible amortization expense (for tax purposes)
and the effect of foreign income tax on foreign source income.


Net Income:  As a result of the  aforementioned  factors,  net income
decreased $1,244 in the second quarter of 1999 when compared to the  comparable
period of 1998.


Six Months Ended July 3, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 27, 1998

Net Sales: Net sales increased by $363 or .6%, for the six months ended July 3,
1999 as compared to the six months ended June 27, 1998. This was primarily due
to the inclusion of W. Notting Ltd. for the full six months in 1999 as opposed
to only 2 months in 1998. The Notting increase of $3,522 was partially offset
by a $951 reduction in North American sales, a $479 decline in domestic export
sales, a $921 decline in lower UK sales, and a $931 decline in sales
from German operations.

Gross Profit Margin: Gross Profit decreased $688 from the June 27, 1998 level.
This is primarily the result of manufacturing variances incurred during the
first six months of 1999. Standard margins decreased only slightly from 32.5%
to 31.2% for the six month periods ended June 27, 1998 and July 3, 1999,
respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percent of net sales  were  20.3% or $12,814 and
19.1% or  $11,961  for the six  months  ended  July 3,  1999 and June 27,
1998, respectively.  1999 results were $895 higher due to the  inclusion of W.
Notting Ltd. for a full six months as opposed to only 2 months in 1998.

Operating  Income:  As a result of the  foregoing, operating income decreased
$1,541 in the first six months of 1999 when compared to the comparable
period in 1998.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was higher in the first six months of 1999
compared to the corresponding period in 1998 due to the recapitalization of the
Company in July 1998. The recapitalization constituted refinancing most of the
Company's debt with $100 million of notes bearing an annual interest rate of
10.25%.

Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes was $730 for the first half of
1999, as compared to $2,441 for the corresponding period of 1998. The income
tax rates were higher than the statutory rate principally as a result of state
income tax provisions, nondeductible amortization expense (for tax purposes)
and the effect of foreign income tax on foreign source income.

Net Income:  As a result of the  aforementioned  factors, net income decreased
$2,587 in the first half of 1999 when compared to the comparable period of 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


In July 1998, the Company issued $100,000 of Senior Subordinated Notes.
Interest on the Notes accrued from date of issuance at 10.25% and is payable
semi-annually on January 1 and July 1. The Notes are due in 2008 but may be
redeemed on or after July 1, 2003 at specified premium prices. Proceeds from
the Notes were primarily used for repayment of indebtedness, acquisition of
treasury stock, and buyout of all outstanding stock options and warrants. The
buyout of stock options resulted in a pretax compensation charge of
approximately $4.5 million recorded in July 1998. The repayment of indebtedness
resulted in an extraordinary charge of approximately $0.5 million, net of tax
benefit, recorded in July 1998 to write off unamortized debt discount and
deferred financing costs.

The Company concurrently entered into a Senior Credit Facility with a
commercial lender, that provides $30,000 availability, undrawn as of July
3, 1999. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are available for
permitted acquisitions and working capital, including letters of credit. The
Senior Credit Facility is secured by first priority liens on all tangible and
intangible personal property and real property assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries.


The Senior Credit Facility will expire in 2003, unless extended. The interest
rate per annum applicable to the Senior Credit Facility will be, at the
Company's option, either LIBOR or the greater of the prime rate or the
overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%, in each case plus 0.125% to 2.375%
depending on the Company's financial leverage (the "Applicable Margin"). The
Company is required to pay certain fees in connection with the Senior Credit
Facility, including an initial commitment fee of 0.50% and thereafter a per
annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin on the unutilized portion of the
revolver.

The Company's principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs,
meet required debt payments, and to complete planned maintenance and
manufacturing improvements.

The Company believes that future cash flows from operations, together with the
borrowings available under the Senior Credit Facility will provide the Company
with sufficient liquidity and financial resources to finance its growth and
satisfy its working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. The
Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to
pay the entire principal amount of the Notes when due in 2008. In such event,
the Company would be required to refinance the Notes. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain acceptable financing terms.

Net Cash Flow: Operations used cash flow of $4,448 for the six month period
ended July 3, 1999 compared to providing cash flow of $2,700 for the comparable


                                       16

<PAGE>   17
period a year ago. This results primarily from paying interest on the Senior
Subordinated Notes in 1999 which is payable semi-annually on July 1 and January
1.

Seasonality

Historically, the Company's business has not been subject to seasonality in any
material respect. The Company's third quarter, which includes July through
September, is typically lower due to customers' and plant vacation shutdowns.

Inflation

Certain of the Company's expenses, such as wages and benefits, occupancy costs
and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary
pressures. Although the Company to date has been able to offset inflationary
cost increases through operating efficiencies, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to offset any future inflationary cost increases
through similar efficiencies.

Year 2000

The Company has a formal Year 2000 Compliance Plan which it began to implement
in 1996 to ensure that its hardware, operating systems and software will
function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter.


The Company does not expect that the cost to modify its information technology
infrastructure to be Year 2000 compliant will be material to its financial
condition or results of operations. The Company does not anticipate any
material disruption in its operations as a result of any failure by the Company
to be in compliance. The Company has initiated formal communication with all of
its significant suppliers and large customers to determine the extent to which
the Company's interface systems are vulnerable to their third parties' failure
to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. In the event that any of the Company's
significant suppliers or customers does not successfully and timely achieve
Year 2000 compliance, the Company's business or operations could be adversely
affected. The Company has prepared appropriate contingency plans in the event
that a significant internal or external exposure is identified.


Implementation and testing of systems for Year 2000 compliance for the
Company's North American operations is approximately 95% complete along with
the Company's foreign operations at approximately 85% complete. The Company's
current target for full implementation and testing of systems for Year 2000
compliance is scheduled to be completed by the end of the third quarter of
1999.

Forward Looking Statements


Statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation

                                       17
<PAGE>   18


Reform Act of 1995. In addition,  words "believes," "expects," "anticipates"
and similar expressions are used to identify forward looking statements. The
Company cautions  that a number of  important  factors  could cause  actual
results for fiscal 1999 and beyond to differ  materially from those expressed
in any forward looking  statements  made by or on behalf of the Company.  All
of these  forward looking  statements are based on estimates and assumptions
made by management of the Company, which although believed to be reasonable,
are inherently uncertain. Therefore, undue reliance should not be placed on
such estimates and statements. No  assurance  can be given that any of such
estimates  or  statements  will be realized and it is likely that actual
results will differ  materially from those contemplated  by such forward
looking  statements.  Factors that may cause such differences include: (1)
increased competition; (2) increased costs; (3) loss or disruption of supply
sources of specialty steels;  (4) loss or retirement of key members of
management;  (5)  increases in the  Company's  cost of borrowings or
unavailability  of  additional  debt  or  equity  capital  on  terms
considered reasonable by management;  (6) adverse state,  federal or foreign
legislation or regulation or adverse  determinations by regulators;  and (7)
changes in general economic  conditions  in the  markets  in which  the
Company  may  compete  and fluctuations in demand in the metal processing and
primary wood industries. Many of such factors are beyond the control of the
Company and its management.
