1.       Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim 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 1, 2000 has been derived
from the consolidated financial statements that have been audited by the
Company's independent public accountants. The unaudited 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 1, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 30, 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 1, 2000.

2.       Acquisitions

On May 8, 1998, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of W. Notting
Limited ("Notting") for approximately $6,718, of which $5,471 was paid in cash
with additional financing from the Company's revolving credit facility; the
balance was in the form of a term Promissory Note to the sellers bearing
interest at 8.5% and was repaid April 30, 1999. 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. In accordance with EITF
95-3, the purchase price allocation reflects accruals of approximately $500 for
lease contracts on facilities that are being closed; $300 for severance pay
accruals for 24 employees to be terminated; and $300 for other reorganization
expenses. As of July 1, 2000, all 24 employees had been terminated. At July 1,
2000, all significant reorganization expenses had occurred. Goodwill totaled
$2,857 on this acquisition and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
40 years. The consolidated financial statements include the results of
operations of Notting subsequent to the date of acquisition.

On May 26, 2000 the Company purchased certain assets, mainly inventory and
equipment, for $483 from Bluebonnet Tool Company, Inc. The Purchase price in
excess of fair value of assets acquired of $193 is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 40 years.

effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. The Company has not yet quantified the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 on
its consolidated financial statements and has not determined the timing nor
method of its adoption of the statement.

The Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)
No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," on December 3, 1999. This
SAB provides additional guidance on the accounting for revenue recognition,
including both broad conceptual discussions as well as certain industry-specific
guidance. The Company is in the process of accumulating the information
necessary to quantify the potential impact, if any, of this new guidance. This
SAB was amended by SAB 101B which defers the effective date of SAB 101 for
registrants with fiscal years that begin between December 16, 1999 and March 15,
2000. The guidance is now effective for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 and
would be adopted by recording the effect of any prior revenue transaction
affected as a "cumulative effect of change in accounting principle" as of
January 2, 2000.

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 10.25% Senior Subordinated 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
subsidiary 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 the guarantor
subsidiary. 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

Comparison of Second Quarter 2000 and Second Quarter 1999

Net Sales: Net Sales for the second quarter of 2000 were $32.2 million or 2.0%
higher than second quarter 1999 net sales of $31.6 million. The higher 2000
quarterly results were realized primarily through higher sales of metal products
during the period. Sales from our European operations were better than last year
in their own currencies and in U.S. dollars, but were impacted unfavorably by
the comparably strong U.S. dollar. Sales would have been higher in 2000 by $440
and $200 in our German and UK operations, respectively, if exchange rates were
unchanged from last year's second quarter.

Gross Profit Margin: Gross Profit was $10,080 for the second quarter of 2000, an
increase of $150 from $9,930 for the corresponding period in 1999. Gross Profit
as a percentage of net sales was 31.3 % and 31.4% for the three months ended
July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, respectively. The slight change in gross profit
margin is due primarily to the change in product mix between quarters.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 19.6% or $6,308 and 20.3%
or $6,405 for the second quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Expenses were
below last year's level primarily due to lower Selling and Administrative
expenses. This in combination with higher sales in the second quarter of 2000
resulted in a 0.7% improvement as a percent of sales.

Operating Income: As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased $247
to $3,772 in the second quarter of 2000 when compared to the comparable period
in 1999.

Other, Net: Other, Net was $280 in the second quarter of 2000 and $(48) in the
comparable quarter of 1999. This swing from quarter to quarter is primarily
comprised of unfavorable realized foreign exchange losses and losses on disposal
of fixed assets in the second quarter of 2000 and realized exchange gains in the
second quarter of 1999.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was lower by $60 in the second quarter of
2000 compared to the corresponding period in 1999. This is primarily due to a
significant increase in interest income generated during the second quarter from
overnight investing of available cash. The vast majority of the Company's
interest expense is for $100,000

                                       14
<PAGE>

of Senior Subordinated Notes at 10 1/4% per annum, which does not change from
one quarter to the next.

Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes was approximately $350 or a 42.7%
effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2000, as compared to approximately
$431 or a 51.2% effective tax rate for the second quarter of 1999. The effective
tax rates differ primarily as a result of goodwill amortization and certain
expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

Net Income: As a result of the foregoing, net income increased $60 in the second
quarter of 2000 when compared to the comparable period of 1999.

Comparison of Six Months Ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999

Net Sales: Net Sales for the six months ended July 1, 2000 were $65.0 million or
3.2% higher than six months ended July 3, 1999 net sales of $63.0 million. The
higher 2000 year-to-date results were realized primarily in our North American
operations. Sales from our European operations were better than last year in
their own currencies, but were impacted unfavorably by the comparably strong
U.S. dollar. Sales would have been higher in 2000 by $912 and $269 in our German
and UK operations, respectively, if exchange rates were unchanged from last
year's.

Gross Profit Margin: Gross Profit was $20,445 for the first six months of 2000,
an increase of $773 from $19,672 for the corresponding period in 1999. Gross
Profit as a percentage of net sales was 31.4 % and 31.2% for the six months
ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 19.7% or $12,797 and
20.3% or $12,814 for the six months of 2000 and 1999, respectively. With
expenses remaining constant and the higher sales in the six months of 2000, this
resulted in a 0.6% improvement as a percent of sales.

Operating Income: As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased $790
to $7,648 in the first six months of 2000 when compared to the comparable period
in 1999.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was lower by $94 in the first six months of
2000 compared to the corresponding period in 1999. This is primarily due to
lower debt outstanding in the Company's European operations and higher interest
income. The vast majority of the Company's interest expense is for $100,000 of
Senior Subordinated Notes at 10 1/4% per annum which is the same in both
periods.

Other, net: The primary reason for other expense of $471 in the six months of
2000 and other (income) of $(101) in the comparable six months of 1999 was
primarily comprised of realized foreign exchange losses in 2000 and gains in
1999.

                                       15

Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes was approximately $785 or a 44.4%
effective tax rate for the first six months of 2000, as compared to
approximately $730 or a 50.1% effective tax rate for the first six months of
1999.

Net Income: As a result of the foregoing, net income increased $257 in the first
six months of 2000 when compared to the comparable period of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

The Company's Senior Credit Facility provides a $30,000 line of credit to meet
acquisition and expansion needs as well as seasonal working capital and general
corporate requirements. This credit line was undrawn as of July 1, 2000.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate
based on, at the Company's option, either the lender's alternate base rate, as
defined, or LIBOR plus the applicable margin. A commitment fee calculated based
upon the unused portion of the revolving credit facility is payable quarterly in
arrears.

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 financing on acceptable terms.

Net Cash Flow: Operations generated $3,246 for the six month period ended July
1, 2000 compared to a use of cash of $4,448 for the comparable period year ago.
The primary reason for the large swing between periods is the payment of
semi-annual interest on the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes which occurred
twice during the 1999 period, but only once in the 2000 period. Additionally,
the combined spending on inventory build and purchases of equipment was $3,102
higher in the first six months of 1999 than the comparable period in 2000.

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.

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 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 2000 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.
