                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION

         On September 27, 1999, the Company and certain of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, filed for voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. The Company plans to continue to operate its business as a
debtor-in-possession.

         Poor market conditions in fiscal 1999, acceleration in industry
modernization; and a balance sheet encumbered with a high level of debt and
preferred stock dividend obligations all caused the Company to file for
voluntary reorganization. It is likely that the reorganization that results from
the Chapter 11 will have a material adverse effect on the Company's common and
preferred shareholders, and may eliminate any remaining value in the Company's
equity securities.

         In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements of
TreeSource Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries ("TreeSource" or "the Company")
presented herein include all adjustments, which are solely of a normal recurring
nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Certain
reclassifications may have been made to the prior period results and balances to
conform to the current period classifications. The financial statements should
be read with reference to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" contained in this report, and the "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements" set forth in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1999, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the current interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the current
year.

         Due to the filing for protection under chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code, there exists substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustment related to the carrying value of assets or liabilities should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

500,000 shares authorized; 6,111 shares issued and outstanding; limited voting
rights; convertible into 212,693 shares of Common Stock; dividends payable only

         Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $100 per share
liquidation preference; 400,000 shares authorized; no shares issued or
outstanding; each share has 100 votes, voting together with Common Stock;
dividends payable only if paid on the Company's Common Stock at 100 times the
Common Stock dividend rate. This class of Preferred Stock was authorized in
connection with the Shareholder Rights Plan adopted by the Company on March 4,
1998.

         Common Stock, no par value; 40,000,000 shares authorized; 11,162,874
shares issued and outstanding. Before giving effect to any shares that might be
issued pursuant to the management incentive Stock Option Plan or conversion of
any Series A Preferred Stock, the total number of common shares would increase
to 11,373,589 shares if the shares of Series B Preferred Stock remaining
outstanding at July 31, 1999 were converted to Common Stock.

NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT

         The Company's senior secured debt agreement includes certain covenants,
including the maintenance of specified levels of adjusted cumulative operating
income (as defined), tangible net worth, working capital, total liabilities
ratio (as defined), and collateral coverage (as defined). This agreement also
imposes certain restrictions and limitations on capital expenditures,
investments, dividend payments, new indebtedness, and transactions with
officers, directors, stockholders and affiliates. This debt agreement was most
recently amended as of April 1, 1998, with respect to certain affirmative
financial performance covenants. As of July 31, 1999, the Company is not in
compliance with the covenant provisions relating to: level of tangible net
worth; total liabilities ratio; minimum level of adjusted working capital; level
of cumulative adjusted earnings (as defined); and the level of minimum operating
income.

         The Company has been unable to maintain compliance with its debt
covenants and ceased making interest and principal payments on its senior
secured debt in March 1999. As of July 31, 1999, the Company was in arrears on
payment of approximately $1,733,000 interest and $2,000,000 in principal on
senior secured debt. Additionally, as of July 31, 1999, the Company is in
arrears on payment of approximately $120,000 in interest on the 8% unsecured
senior notes. Due to the terms of the 8% unsecured senior notes, payment of
interest cannot be made if a default exists in payment of dividends on the
Series A preferred stock. As of August 31, 1999, the Company has not paid three
consecutive quarterly dividends for holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. The
senior secured debt remains classified as a current obligation in the
accompanying financial statements due to the Company's chapter 11 filing and
possible acceleration of the debt's repayment.

         As discussed under Note 1 above, the Company has filed for voluntary
reorganization under the Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.


NOTE 6 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

         The income tax provision is based on the estimated effective annual tax
rate for each fiscal year. The provision includes anticipated current income
taxes payable, the tax effect of anticipated differences between the financial
reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and the expected utilization
of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards.

         At July 31, 1999, the Company's estimated remaining adjusted NOL was
approximately $20 million for federal income tax purposes and $18 million for
state income tax purposes. The Company has utilized a portion of these NOL's to
offset current period earnings and, as such, has reported no income tax expense
or benefit for the current period. Because of difficult operating environments
in previous years, the Company has reserved for all NOL's. Management
periodically reviews the above factors and may change the amount of valuation
allowance as facts and circumstances dictate.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company is involved in certain litigation primarily arising in the
normal course of its business. The Company's liability, if any, under such
pending litigation could have a material impact upon the Company's consolidated
financial condition or results of operations. See "Legal Proceedings".

         The Company is subject to various federal, state and local regulations
regarding waste disposal and pollution control. Various governmental agencies
have enacted, or are considering, regulations regarding a number of
environmental issues that may require material expenditures in the future. These
include regulations regarding log yard management, disposal of log yard waste,
kiln process waste water, and air emissions from hog fuel fired boilers. The
potential expenditures required for the Company to comply with any such
regulations could have a material adverse impact on its consolidated financial
condition and results of operations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         On a quarter-to-quarter basis, the Company's financial results have and
will vary widely, due to seasonal fluctuations and market factors affecting the
demand for logs, lumber, and other wood products. Therefore, past results for
any given year or quarter are not necessarily indicative of future results.

         Domestic lumber market conditions strengthened in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 as strong U.S. housing starts increased demand for lumber. The
average unit price for the benchmark green fir 2x4 standard and better increased
from an average of $305 per unit during the first three months of fiscal 1999 to
an average of $449 per unit for the first three months of fiscal 2000, a 47%
increase. During the same period, the unit cost of the #2 fir sawlog - a
benchmark for the Company's raw materials costs - increased from an average of
$560 to $624 per unit, an 11% increase. With lumber prices increasing more
rapidly than log prices, margins grew and profitability increased. Timber
harvest activity in the Pacific Northwest region increased from the prior
quarter as weather improved. Due to availability, the Company's level of log
inventory has been increased to enhance the consistency of operations and
improve margins through more selective purchasing.

         While operating conditions improved for the first three months of
fiscal 2000, weak lumber markets in prior periods led to a decline in the
Company's financial position such that the Company was unable to comply with its
covenants under its senior secured debt agreement. As of September 27, 1999, the
Company owes approximately $2,768,000 in interest and $3,000,000 in principal on
its senior secured debt, and $179,000 in interest on its 8% unsecured senior
notes. Additionally, the Company has not paid dividends to the holders of its
Series A Preferred Stock for three consecutive quarters, amounting to
approximately $1,570,000.

         On September 27, 1999, the Company filed for voluntary reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Poor market conditions in fiscal
1999, acceleration in industry modernization and a balance sheet encumbered with
a high level of debt and preferred stock dividend obligations all contributed to
the necessity for the filing. It is likely that the reorganization that results
from the Chapter 11 filing will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
common and preferred shareholders, and may eliminate any remaining value in the
Company's equity securities.

Comparison of Three Months Ended July 31, 1999 and 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------

         Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 1999 increased $19.6
million (41%), as compared to the three months ended July 31, 1998. This
increase was principally caused by a 23% increase in lumber sales volume and an
18% increase in the weighted average net sales price. Although the number of
sawmills operated by the Company in the three months ended July 31, 1999 has
decreased by three from the prior year, the Company's lumber shipments increased
over the same periods due to increases in productivity and the number of shifts
operated at three facilities.

         Gross profit for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 was 15.3% of net
sales, compared to 7.3% of net sales for the quarter ended July 31, 1998. Net
lumber sales increased by 44% as compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1998,
while the Company's log costs increased by 6%. Unit manufacturing costs in the
three months ended July 31, 1999 decreased by 3% from costs in the three months
ended July 31, 1998, primarily due to a curtailment of higher cost operations
and an increase in production volume at remaining operations.


         Selling, general and administrative expenses in the quarter ended July
31, 1999 decreased by $1.0 million (17.3%) as compared to sales expenses for the
quarter ended July 31, 1998. This decrease reflects an approximate 40% reduction
in corporate staff and a reduction in office lease space, as well as the closure
of certain facilities.




                                       13

<PAGE>
         In the quarter ended July 31, 1999, the Company did not record a tax
provision due to the existence of approximately $20 million and $18 million in
net operating losses for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company
periodically reviews the above factors and may change the amount of valuation
allowance as facts and circumstances dictate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         Cash and cash equivalents increased by $4.9 million during the quarter
ended July 31, 1999, to $7.0 million. Approximately $5.1 million of cash was
provided by operations. The Company has continued its efforts to conserve cash
and, since March 1999, has not paid interest or principal on its senior secured
debt and subordinated debentures, or dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock.

         The Company has not had, a line of credit or working capital financing
available to it, and, therefore, has relied on cash provided by its operations
to fund its working capital needs. In connection, with filing for voluntary
reorganization, the Company is seeking to obtain an interim financing package to
provide working capital and to fund seasonal log inventory increases. If the
Company is not able to obtain such financing, cash provided by operations may
not be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital needs. If the Company is
not able to obtain sufficient cash to fund its working capital needs from
operations or financing, such inability could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

         During the first three months of fiscal 2000, the Company spent $0.3
million for capital improvements to its facilities. The Company had no material
commitments for capital spending at July 31, 1999.

         The Company does not invest in market risk sensitive instruments.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

         The "Year 2000" issue exists because many computer systems and
applications currently use two-digit fields to designate a year. This practice
can lead to incorrect results when computer software performs arithmetic
operations, comparisons, or data field sorting involving years later than 1999.

         The Company has conducted a review of its computer and other systems to
identify those areas that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue, and is
implementing a plan to resolve the issues identified. The initial phase of the
plan, which has been completed, consisted of testing existing systems to
determine which had "Year 2000" issues.




                                       14

<PAGE>
         The second phase of the Company's "Year 2000" plan, which consists of
the replacement or upgrading of hardware and software that has "Year 2000"
issues, is nearing completion. The remaining tasks for completing the second
phase consist of replacing and upgrading the computer systems at two mills and
some ancillary software upgrades at other locations.

         The Company presently believes the "Year 2000" issue will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.


Factors Affecting  Forward-Looking Statements
- ---------------------------------------------

         The statements contained in this report that are not statements of
historical fact may include forward-looking statements (as defined in Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) that involve a number of risks
and uncertainties. Moreover, from time to time the Company may issue other
forward-looking statements. The following factors are among the factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements and should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking
statements: the outcome of Company's filing for voluntary reorganization; the
approval of the Company's interim financial arrangement; adverse operating
conditions; fluctuations in quarterly results; availability of logs;
technological change; manufacturing risks; federal and state regulations; and
the additional factors listed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports,
including, but not limited to, the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year
ended April 30, 1999.
