                               FEDERAL SCREW WORKS
               NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30,
2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2001.

NOTE B - DEBT

On October 18, 2000, Comerica Bank approved a one year extension of the
Company's $25,000,000 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. Under the
agreement the Company has the option to convert borrowings thereunder
(classified as long-term debt) to a term note through October 31, 2003, the
expiration date of the agreement. Payments under the term note, if the
conversion option is exercised, would be made quarterly and could extend to
October 31, 2005. As of September 30, 2000, there was $3,810,000 in outstanding
borrowings under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement.

NOTE C - DIVIDENDS

Cash dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding at the
respective dates of declaration.

NOTE D - IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued "Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities."  The Company adopted the statement in fiscal 1999 with no material
effect on the Company's financial statements.

In December, 1999, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101,
Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. The Company adopted the statement
in fiscal 2000 with no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales for the Company's first quarter ended September
30, 2000, increased $143,000, or 0.5%, compared with net sales for the first
quarter of the prior year. The increase is attributable mainly to continued
strong demand for the Company's products.

Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30, 2000, decreased
$390,000, or (11.7)%, as compared with gross profit for the first quarter of the
prior year. The decrease is attributable mainly to reduced truck production at
one of our largest customers.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $132,000, or (7.8)%, for the first
quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared with the first quarter of the
prior year. The decrease is mainly attributable to decreases in professional
fees and insurance expenses.

The Registrant's Shareholders are aware of the Registrant's dependence upon
sales to the two largest U.S. automobile manufacturers, a condition that has
existed for at least fifty years. Although the Registrant has purchase orders
from such customers, such purchase orders generally provide for supplying the
customer's requirements for a particular model or model year rather than for
manufacturing a specific quantity of products. The loss of any one of such
customers or significant purchase orders could have a material adverse effect
on the Registrant. These customers are also able to exert considerable pressure
on component suppliers to reduce costs, improve quality and provide additional
design and engineering capabilities. There can be no assurance that the
additional costs of increased quality standards, price reductions or additional
capabilities required by such customers will not have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition or results of operations of the Registrant.


DIVIDENDS: The Board of Directors, in August, 2000, declared a $.10 per share
quarterly dividend and an extra $1.90 per share dividend, both payable October
2, 2000, to shareholders of record September 1, 2000.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Working capital increased by $3,560,000 from
$17,205,000 at June 30, 2000, to $20,765,000 at September 30, 2000.

At September 30, 2000, the Company had available $21,190,000 under its bank
credit agreement.

Capital expenditures for the three month period ended September 30, 2000, were
approximately $0.5 million, and, for the year, are expected to approximate $14
million, of which approximately $7.0 million has been committed as of September
30, 2000. The Company is proceeding with plans to build a new facility in
northern Michigan.

There have been no material changes concerning environmental matters since those
reported in the Registrant's Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2000.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: The foregoing discussion and analysis contains a
number of "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, with respect
to expectations for future periods which are subject to various uncertainties,
including competition, Information Systems issues related to the Year 2000, the
loss of, or reduction in business with, the Company's principal customers, work
stoppages, strikes and slowdowns at the Company's facilities and those of its
customers; adverse changes in economic conditions generally and those of the
automotive industry, specifically.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         The Company's market risk is limited to interest rate risk on its
revolving credit and term loan agreement. At September 30, 2000, the carrying
amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, debt and investments approximate fair value. Accordingly, management
believes this risk is not material.


PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         The information set forth at the conclusion of the Liquidity and
Capital Resources discussion in Item 2 of Part I concerning environmental
matters is incorporated by reference.
