PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.


In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial
position as of September 30, 2000 and the results of operations and cash flows
for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. It is suggested
that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's
latest annual report on Form 10-K. Results for the three-months ended September
30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results which may be experienced for
the full fiscal year.


This document contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that are subject to risks and
uncertainties which, in many cases, are beyond the control of the Company. These
include but are not limited to economic conditions in general, business
conditions in electrical and electronic equipment markets, competitive factors
such as pricing and technology, and the risk that the Company's ultimate costs
of doing business exceeds present estimates. Further information on factors
which could affect MagneTek's financial results are described in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         FISCAL PERIOD - The Company uses a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal
         year. Fiscal periods end on the Sunday nearest the end of the month.
         For clarity of presentation, all periods are presented as if they ended
         on the last day of the calendar period. The three-month periods ended
         September 30, 2000 and 1999 contained thirteen weeks and fourteen weeks
         respectively.

         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements
         include the accounts of MagneTek, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
         Company). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have
         been eliminated.

         USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
         management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
         reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual
         results could differ from these estimates.

         COMMODITY DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS - The Company utilizes derivative
         financial instruments to reduce market fluctuations in commodity
         (copper wire) and foreign currency (peso related labor costs) exposures
         specific to businesses included as discontinued operations. The Company
         has established policies and procedures that govern the management of
         these exposures through the use of financial instruments. The contract
         terms of these derivatives are within one year and settlement of
         positions are typically completed through a financial settlement and
         not through the physical receipt of the commodity or the currency. The
         Company's policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments
         for speculative or trading purposes.

         On July 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
         Activities and its amendments, Statements 137 and 138 ("SFAS 133"),
         which establishes new accounting and reporting guidelines for
         derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires all
         derivative instruments to be recognized as assets or liabilities in the
         balance sheet and measured at fair value. Accounting for changes in the
         fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the
         derivative and the resulting designation. For derivatives designated as
         cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in accumulated
         other comprehensive income in the balance sheet until the hedged item
         is recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivative
         instruments, which are not designated as hedges, are recorded in
         earnings as the changes occur.

         The Company's commodity and foreign currency derivative instruments
         meet the requirement of cash flow hedges and therefore changes in the
         fair market value of the hedges are included within other comprehensive
         income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Earnings
         recognition from these transactions is recorded in cost of
<PAGE>

         sales when the hedge transaction affects earnings. Previous to the
         adoption of SFAS 133, gains and losses were deferred until the contract
         settlement. The adoption of Statement No. 133 on July 1, 2000 resulted
         in the recognition of $2,256 in other comprehensive income for the
         first quarter of fiscal 2001. The estimated net gain to be recognized
         over the next twelve months in relation to copper and peso contracts is
         projected to approximate that same level as recorded in other
         comprehensive income in the first quarter. Hedging activities related
         to copper and peso contracts are specific to discontinued operations
         and activity in this area will terminate when these operations are
         divested.

3.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company is a party to a number of product liability lawsuits, many
         of which involve fires allegedly caused by defective ballasts. All of
         these cases are being defended by the Company, and management believes
         that its insurers will bear all liability, except for applicable
         deductibles, and that none of these proceedings individually or in the
         aggregate will have a material effect on the Company.

         In April 1998, Ole K. Nilssen filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District
         Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging the Company is
         infringing seven of his patents pertaining to electronic ballast
         technology. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of damages and an
         injunction to preclude the Company from making, using or selling those
         products allegedly infringing his patents. The Company denies that it
         has infringed, or is infringing, any of the plaintiff's patents, and
         has asserted several affirmative defenses. The Company also filed a
         counterclaim seeking judicial declaration that it is not infringing
         (and has not infringed) the patents asserted by the plaintiff, and that
         such asserted patents are invalid. The Company intends to defend this
         matter vigorously. At this state, it is difficult to predict the
         outcome of the foregoing legal proceeding. However, management of the
         Company does not believe that the financial impact of such litigation
         will be material.

         The Company was named as a defendant, along with 90 other companies
         engaged in the electronics and related industries, in a patent
         infringement lawsuit filed by the Lemelson Medical, Education &
         Research Foundation Limited Partnership ("Lemelson") in the U.S.
         District Court for the District of Arizona. The defendants include
         manufacturers and suppliers of electronic or semiconductor products or
         products incorporating semiconductor products. The complaint alleges
         that the defendants are each infringing certain patents allegedly held
         by Lemelson and seeks a judgment that the defendants each willfully
         infringed the patents at issue, an injunction against further
         infringement, trebled actual damages and attorneys' fees. The Company
         is in the process of reviewing the claims to determine their validity,
         and investigating its defenses to the claims, and

<PAGE>

         while no assurances regarding the eventual resolution of this matter
         can be made at this time, the Company does not believe this matter will
         have a material adverse effect on the Company's finances or operations.

         The Company has from time to time discovered contamination by hazardous
         substances at certain of its facilities. In response to such a
         discovery, the Company conducts remediation activities to bring the
         facility into compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The
         Company's remediation activities for fiscal 2000 did not entail
         material expenditures, and its remediation activities for fiscal 2001
         are not expected to entail material expenditures. Future remediation of
         contaminated areas could entail material expenditures, depending upon
         the extent and nature of the contamination, the cleanup measures
         employed and the concurrence of governmental authorities.

         Prior to its purchase by the Company in 1986, Century Electric, Inc.
         ("Century Electric") acquired a business from Gould Inc. ("Gould") in
         May 1983 which included a leasehold interest in a fractional horsepower
         electric motor manufacturing facility located in McMinnville,
         Tennessee. In connection with this acquisition, Gould agreed to
         indemnify Century Electric from and against liabilities and expenses
         arising out of the handling and cleanup of certain waste materials,
         including but not limited to cleaning up any PCBs at the McMinnville
         facility (the "1983 Indemnity"). Investigation has revealed the
         presence of PCBs and other substances, including solvents, in portions
         of the soil and in the groundwater underlying the facility and in
         certain offsite soil, sediment and biota samples. Century Electric has
         kept the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division
         of Superfund, apprised of test results from the investigation. The
         McMinnville plant has been listed as a Tennessee Inactive Hazardous
         Substance Site, a report on that site has been presented to the
         Tennessee legislature, and community officials and plant employees have
         been notified of the presence of contaminants as above described. In
         1995, Gould completed an interim remedial measure of excavating and
         disposing onsite soil containing PCBs. Gould also conducted preliminary
         investigation and cleanup of certain onsite and offsite contamination.
         The cost of any further investigation and cleanup of onsite and offsite
         contamination cannot presently be determined. The Company recently sold
         its leasehold interest in the McMinnville plant and believes that the
         costs for further onsite and offsite cleanup (including ancillary
         costs) are covered by the 1983 Indemnity. While the Company believes
         that Gould will continue to perform substantially under its indemnity
         obligations, Gould's substantial failure to perform such obligations
         could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

         A company obligated to indemnify MagneTek against certain environmental
         liabilities, Fruit of the Loom, Inc. ("FOL"), has filed a petition for
         Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. MagneTek
         acquired the stock of Universal Manufacturing Company ("Universal")
         from a predecessor of FOL. In connection with that acquisition, the
         predecessor of FOL indemnified MagneTek against certain environmental
         liabilities arising from Universal's pre-acquisition activities.
         Environmental liabilities covered by the FOL indemnity include
         completion of additional cleanup activities (if any) at MagneTek's
         Bridgeport, Connecticut facility, and defense and indemnity of MagneTek
         concerning offsite disposal locations where MagneTek may have a share
         of potential response costs. MagneTek has filed a proof of claim in
         FOL's bankruptcy proceeding for matters governed by the FOL
         environmental indemnity.


<PAGE>

         The Company has been identified by the United States Environmental
         Protection Agency and certain state agencies as a potentially
         responsible party for cleanup costs associated with alleged past waste
         disposal practices at several offsite locations. Based on the nature of
         its alleged connections to those sites, the volume and the nature of
         the alleged contaminants, anticipated cleanup costs, the number of
         parties participating, any available indemnification rights and the
         ability of other liable parties to pay their shares, the Company's
         estimated share in liability (if any) at the offsite facilities is not
         expected to be material. It is possible that the Company's actual
         expenditures at those sites may be less or greater than currently
         anticipated, and that the Company will be named as a potentially
         responsible party in the future with respect to other sites.

         In selling certain business operations, the Company from time to time
         has agreed, subject to various conditions and limitations, to indemnify
         buyers with respect to environmental liabilities associated with the
         divested operations. The Company's indemnification obligations pursuant
         to such agreements did not entail material expenditures for fiscal
         2000, and its indemnification obligations for fiscal 2001 are not
         expected to entail material expenditures. Future expenditures pursuant
         to such agreements could be material, depending upon the nature of any
         future asserted claims subject to indemnification.

4.       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

         The accompanying financial statements have been re-stated to conform to
         discontinued operations treatment for current and historical periods.
         The results of the Company's electrical product businesses (Motors,
         Lighting Products and Transformers) are included within discontinued
         operations.

         On August 2, 1999, the Company sold its Motor business to A.O. Smith
         for $253 million. The results of the Motor business as well as the
         Lighting Products and Transformer businesses have been reflected as
         discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial
         statements for fiscal year 2000. The Company recorded an after-tax gain
         of $35 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 based upon the
         sale of its Motor business. In fiscal 2001, the Company's Lighting
         Products and Transformer businesses are included in discontinued
         operations. A portion of the Company's interest expense has been
         allocated to discontinued operations in accordance with EITF 87-24,
         "Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations." Taxes have been
         allocated using the same overall rate incurred by the Company in the
         first quarter of fiscal year 2001.

5.       ACQUISITIONS

         On July 23, 1999, the Company purchased the assets of Electric Motor
         Systems, Inc. and EMS/Rose Automation Engineering, Inc. (The EMS Group)
         for cash of approximately $38.3 million. The Company acquired assets of
         approximately $19.8 million and assumed liabilities of $8.1 million.
         Costs in excess of net assets acquired approximated $26.6 million and
         are being amortized over forty years. The EMS Group manufactures and
         purchases for re-sale, adjustable speed drives. On December 16, 1999
         the Company purchased the shares of Mondel ULC, a Nova Scotia unlimited
         liability company for approximately $10 million. The Company acquired
         assets of approximately $2.5 million and assumed liabilities of $.3
         million. Costs in excess of net assets acquired approximated $7.8
         million and are also being amortized over forty years. Mondel ULC
         manufactures a variety of

<PAGE>

         industrial brakes for the crane and hoist market. Both acquisitions
         have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and,
         accordingly the purchase price has been allocated to the net assets
         acquired based upon their estimated fair market values. Both
         acquisitions were financed from the Company's revolving credit
         facility.

         The Company has reached a definitive agreement to acquire J-Tec, Inc.,
         a closely held corporation in Greenville, Ohio. J-Tec is a leading
         power systems integrator serving the domestic telecommunications market
         with approximate revenues of $25 million. Pending satisfaction of all
         closing conditions, the transaction is anticipated to be consummated by
         the end of November.

6.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         During the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000, total comprehensive
         income was $2,447 and $39,363 respectively.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

         THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VS. 1999

         NET SALES AND GROSS PROFIT

         MagneTek's net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $71.9
         million an increase of 1.0% from the first quarter of fiscal 2000 of
         $71.2 million. Due to the use of a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal
         year, the first quarter of fiscal 2001 contained thirteen weeks versus
         fourteen weeks in the year earlier period. In addition, reported sales
         for the Company's European operations were adversely affected by weaker
         European currency. On a pro forma basis, assuming that the first
         quarter of fiscal 2000 had contained thirteen weeks and that currency
         translation rates were constant with the previous year, sales would
         have increased twelve percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

         The Company's gross profit increased to $16.9 million (23.6% of net
         sales) in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $14.5 million (20.3% of
         net sales) in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Improved gross profit
         results were due to improved mix of product with higher gross margins
         in the Company's power control products and the positive effect of
         motion control products associated with the Company's acquisition of
         the EMS/ESI Group and Mondel ULC made in fiscal 2000.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

         Selling, general and administrative expense was $13.7 million (19.1% of
         net sales) in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $13.0
         million (18.3% of net sales) in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The
         increase in spending was due to SG&A expense attributable the EMS/ESI
         Group and Mondel ULC (acquired in fiscal year 2000), not present in
         prior year spending.

         INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE

         Interest expense was $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001
         compared to $.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Increased
         interest expense primarily reflects increased borrowings due to the
         acquisition of the EMS/ESI Group, Mondel ULC and the common stock
         repurchase program. Other non-operating expense of $.5 million in the
         first quarter of fiscal 2001 was approximately equal to the $.4 million
         in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.


<PAGE>



         NET INCOME

         The Company recorded an after-tax profit from continuing operations of
         $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to an
         after-tax profit of $.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
         Results for discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2001 were
         an after-tax profit of $1.8 million compared to an after-tax profit
         $2.5 million in fiscal 2000. The first quarter of fiscal 2000 also
         included a $35.0 million gain on the sale of the Company's motor
         business. The tax provision for continuing operations in the first
         quarter of fiscal 2001 was $.6 million (38% effective tax rate) versus
         $.3 million (38% effective tax rate) in the first quarter of fiscal
         2000. The Company expects tax rates used in the first quarter of fiscal
         2001 to continue throughout the year.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At September 30, 2000 the Company had an agreement with a group of
         banks to lend up to $200,000 under a revolving loan facility through
         June 2002. Currently, borrowings under the Bank Loan Agreement bear
         interest at the bank's prime lending rate or, at the Company's option,
         the London Interbank Offered Rate plus one and one-half percent. These
         rates may be reduced or increased based upon the level of certain
         debt-to-cash flow ratios. As of October 1, 2000, the Company had $124
         million of borrowing availability under this facility. During the first
         quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company repurchased 381,400 common shares
         for approximately $3.9 million in open market transactions. Through the
         first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company has cumulatively repurchased
         $83 million of common stock approximating nine million common shares.


         QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company is exposed to market risks in the areas of commodity
         prices, foreign exchange and interest rates. To mitigate the effect of
         such risks, the Company selectively utilizes specific financial
         instruments. Company policy clearly prohibits the use of such financial
         instruments for trading or speculative purposes. There have been no
         material changes in the reported market risks since that reported in
         the Company's Annual Report and 10-K dated June 30, 2000.
