                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         -----------------------------

I.   The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by
     Athey Products Corporation (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the
     rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
     information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
     regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are
     adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested
     that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
     statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual
     report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     The Company follows an interim closing procedure which utilizes a 13-week
     quarter rather than a calendar quarter.  The end-year closing is not
     affected by this procedure.

II.  The accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting
     only of normal adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial
     position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim period. The
     results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
     2000 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the results that
     might be expected for the entire year 2000.

III. Income (loss) per share amounts are computed on the basis of the weighted
     average number of shares outstanding during the period, which were
     3,805,608 in 2000 and 1999. Basic and diluted income (loss) per share are
     the same for both 2000 and 1999.

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

The forward-looking statements included in the "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section, which
reflect management's best judgement based on factors currently known, involve
risks and uncertainties. Words such as "expect", "anticipates", "believes",
"intends", and "hopes", variations of such words and similar expressions are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as
a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to, the factors
discussed in such section. Forward-looking information provided by the Company
in such section pursuant to the safe harbor established under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 should be evaluated in the context of
these factors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000
------------------------------

     as compared to

Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
------------------------------

The Company's net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $17,441,781,
a 14.9% or $3,052,193 decrease from the $20,493,974 recorded for the same period
in 1999. The sales decrease reflects a 19.3% decrease in the number of sweepers
shipped d uring the period as compared to the same period of 1999. Unseasonably
bad weather in the first quarter of 2000 and delays in receiving key parts in
the second quarter of 2000 contributed to production delays and the reduction in
the number of sweeper units shipped. This volume decrease was partially offset
by a 4.0% increase in average realized price. Replacement parts sales decreased
6.6% from the six-month period in 1999.

In addition, the softening in sales orders, which started in the Third Quarter
1999, continued during the first half of 2000.  At June 30, 2000, the Company
had a backlog of orders it believed to be firm of approximately $6,555,000, as
compared with a backlog of $15,116,000 at June 30, 1999.  Management expects the
softening of sales orders and the backlog reduction to further continue into the
Third Quarter 2000.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 87.8% for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to 82.6% during the same period for 1999.
Unabsorbed labor and burden variances adversely impacted cost of goods sold in
2000.

The Company's selling, administrative and engineering expenses decreased
$592,545 from $3,382,224 or 16.5% of net sales, to $2,789,679 or 16.0% of net
sales.  Selling, administrative and engineering expenses in 2000 were favorably
impacted by headcount reductions and lower warranty expenses.

Other expenses for 2000 were $355,800 as compared to $221,808 recorded in 1999.
This increase is related to increased interest expense associated with higher
rates and borrowings on the Company's line of credit.

The net loss after tax for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $1,004,202 or
$0.26 per share, as compared to a net income of $10,795 or $0.00 per share
recorded for the same period in 1999 for the reasons discussed above.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 ("Second Quarter 2000")
--------------------------------------------------------

     as compared to

Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 ("Second Quarter 1999")
--------------------------------------------------------

The Company's net sales for the Second Quarter 2000 were $8,916,601 representing
a 18.4%, or $2,009,327 decrease from net sales of $10,925,928 recorded in the
Second Quarter 1999.  This sales decrease is attributable to a 19.3% decrease in
number of units shipped, and a 6.4% decline in replacement parts sales. Delays
in receiving  key parts contributed to the reduction in the number of sweeper
units shipped in the Second Quarter.  This volume decrease was partially offset
by a 4.0% increase in average realized prices.

The cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, was 82.4% in the Second
Quarter 2000 compared with 80.5% in the Second Quarter 1999.  Although
unabsorbed labor and burden variances improved in the Second Quarter 2000, these
factors continue to impact cost of goods sold.

The Company's selling, administrative, and engineering expenses decreased
$357,052 to $1,360,654 in the Second Quarter 2000 or 15.3% of net sales, from
$1,717,706 reported in the  Second Quarter 1999 or 15.7% of net sales.  The
decrease is the result of ongoing cost reduction efforts to lower head counts
and lower warranty expenses.

Other income for the Second Quarter 2000 was $6,307 as compared to $24,979
recorded in the Second Quarter of 1999.

Other expenses for the Second Quarter of 2000 were $182,130 as compared to
$122,246 recorded in the Second Quarter of 1999.  This increase in other
expenses for the Second Quarter 2000 is related to increased interest expense
associated with the borrowings on the Company's line of credit.

The net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $35,260 or $0.01 per
share, as compared to net income of $318,078 or $0.08 per share for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 for the reasons discussed above.

Effects of Inflation
--------------------

The Company attempts to minimize the impact of inflation on production and
operating costs through cost control programs and productivity improvements.
Over the past three years, the rate of inflation has not had a significant
impact on the Company's operations. Prices paid for raw materials and other
manufacturing inputs have remained fairly stable throughout this period. On a
longer-term basis, the Company has demonstrated an ability to adjust the selling
prices of its products in reaction to changing costs.

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

At June 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of $10,676,721; the ratio of
current assets to current liabilities was 2.0 to 1; and the debt to equity ratio
was 1.07 to 1.  This compares to working capital of $11,703,743; a ratio of
current assets to current liabilities of 2.2 to 1; and a debt to equity ratio of
 .92 to 1 at December 31, 1999.  The decrease in working capital is primarily due
to an increase in accounts payable.

The Company did not authorize any common stock repurchases during 2000 or 1999.

At June 30, 2000, the Company had available a secured line of credit with a
financial institution of $9,000,000 of which $5,193,228 had been utilized.  At
December 31, 1999, the Company had utilized $5,688,062 of the credit line.

The credit facility, which was obtained in July 1999, is in the form of a
revolving and term loan credit facility and provides an aggregate principal
amount of up to $9 million. The facility has an initial maturity date of June
30, 2002 and bears an interest rate of 3/4% above the prime rate as quoted in
the Wall Street Journal.

In connection with the credit facility, the Company has covenants, among others;
(i) not to incur a pre-tax cumulative loss of $850,000 for the period from June
30, 1999 through the end of the initial term and (ii) not to permit the ratio of
its total liabilities to its net worth to be greater than 2.0 to 1.  The Company
also has restrictions on the disposal of assets and the payment of dividends.
At June 30, 2000, the Company had complied with all financial covenants.

To ensure an adequate supply of key inventory material, the Company has, in the
normal course of business, issued purchase order commitments at June 30, 2000 to
a major supplier for the purchase of chassis in the amount of $2,398,000.  Such
commitments represent 6 - 12 months of supply for certain production models.
