   (i)       BASIC: 'Basic' earnings per common share are computed by
             dividing net income available to common shareholders by the
             weighted average number of common shares outstanding:
             10,595,915 and 10,558,231 for the three months ended October
             4, 1998, and September 28, 1997, respectively.  This
             replaces 'primary' earnings per share, which included common
             stock equivalents in the calculation.  The prior year per
             share amounts are restated to reflect the current
             presentation.

   (ii)      DILUTED: 'Diluted' net income per share includes options, 
             warrants and convertible securities in the calculation. The
             total number of shares used in the fully-diluted calculation
             for the three months ended October 4, 1998, and September
             28, 1997, were 10,771,692 and 10,813,359, respectively.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


   (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

   The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
   of Scotsman Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the
   "Company").

   All accounting policies used in the preparation of the quarterly
   condensed financial statements are consistent with the accounting
   policies described in the notes to financial statements for the year
   ended December 28, 1997, appearing in the Company's 1997 Annual Report
   to Shareholders ("Annual Report").  In the opinion of management, the
   interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are
   necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position,
   results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
   presented.  The results for such interim periods are not necessarily
   indicative of results for the full year.  These financial statements
   should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
   statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated financial
   statements included in the Annual Report.

   (3)  ACQUISITION OF KYSOR:

   In March of 1997, the Company acquired Kysor Industrial Corporation
   ("Kysor"), a major manufacturer and marketer of refrigerated display
   cases, commercial refrigeration systems and insulated panels primarily
   serving the supermarket industry.  The Company purchased Kysor's
   common and preferred stock  for an aggregate purchase price of $311
   million.   Concurrent with the purchase, the Company sold Kysor's
   Transportation Products Group to a third party for an aggregate
   purchase price of $86 million plus assumption of certain liabilities. 
   The Company retained possession of Kysor's Commercial Products Group. 
   Goodwill relating to the acquisition of Kysor was $196.8 million,
   which is being amortized for book purposes over 40 years using the
   straight-line method.  In addition, there was a goodwill amount of
   $12.6 million related to an investment which was recorded in other
   noncurrent assets in the balance sheet.

   The purchase price was allocated principally to goodwill of $196.8
   million, working capital of $44.8 million, property, plant and
   equipment of $36.4 million, severance and other Kysor employee related
   liabilities of $43.7 million, and deferred tax impacts of $17.5
   million. 

   Kysor reported total sales in 1996 of $381 million, of which $245
   million related to commercial refrigeration products.

   The accompanying unaudited condensed pro forma income statement
   information is presented to illustrate the effect of certain events on
   the historical income statement information of the Company as if the
   acquisition of Kysor had occurred as of the first day of the period
   presented.  The pro forma information includes assumptions and
   estimates and is not necessarily indicative of the results of
   operations of the Company as they may be in the future or as they
   might have been had the transaction occurred as discussed above.  The
   pro forma results of operations for the year-to-date period ended
   September 28, 1997, include certain adjustments made by Kysor prior to
   acquisition anticipating the completion of the transaction.  These
   adjustments related to changes in the accounting estimates for the
   carrying values of certain assets and liabilities and the combining of
   four of Kysor's business units into two business units.  Management
   does not expect these adjustments to occur in the future.

   The unaudited condensed pro forma income statement information should
   be read in conjunction with the historical condensed financial
   statements and notes thereto of the Company appearing elsewhere
   herein.

   Inc. and certain other subsidiaries and The First National Bank of
   Chicago as agent for the lenders (the "FNBC Facility").  The agreement
   governing the FNBC Facility and other debt agreements include various
   financial covenants.  The Company was in compliance with these
   covenants as of October 4, 1998.  One of the covenants in the FNBC
   Facility has the effect of restricting the amount of the Company's
   dividends to its shareholders by requiring the Company to maintain
   consolidated stockholders' equity of at least $120 million (without
   giving effect to future changes in accumulated translation
   adjustments), plus 60 percent of (i) the cumulative net income of the
   Company from December 30, 1996, forward and (ii) the net cash proceeds
   from any future issuance of equity securities by the Company after the
   closing of the FNBC Facility.  At October 4, 1998, consolidated
   stockholders' equity of the Company was $157.4 million.  Under this
   covenant the amount of retained earnings that was restricted as of
   October 4, 1998 was $67.1 million.  The Company is also precluded from
   paying dividends to its shareholders (other than dividends payable in
   its own capital stock) if a default or an unmatured default under the
   agreement has occurred and is continuing or would occur after giving
   effect to the payment of such dividends.  Also, under a covenant in
   the indenture under which the Senior Subordinated Notes were issued,
   $77.0 million of retained earnings of the Company and its wholly-owned
   subsidiary Scotsman Group Inc. were restricted as of October 4, 1998.

   (6) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
   -------------------------------

   As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
   Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
   Income."  Statement No. 130 requires reporting certain transactions
   that result in a change in equity, such as currency translation,
   unrealized gains and losses and minimum pension liability adjustments,
   as components of comprehensive income.  The adoption of this Statement
   had no impact on the Company's net income or shareholders' equity. 
   During the first nine months of 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive
   income amounted to $15.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively. 
   Total comprehensive income for the Company includes net income,
   foreign currency translation adjustments and deferred compensation
   adjustments.

   (7) CURRENT AND PENDING ACCOUNTING CHANGES
   ------------------------------------------

   In July, 1997, FASB issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about
   Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."  This Statement
   expands certain reporting and disclosure requirements for segments
   from current standards.  In February, 1998, FASB issued Statement No.
   132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
   Benefits."  This Statement revised employer's disclosures about
   pension and other postretirement benefit plans.  It does not change
   the measurement or recognition of obligations under those plans.  The
   Company is not required to adopt these Statements until December, 1998
   and does not expect the adoption of these standards to result in
   material changes to previously reported amounts.

   In January, 1998, Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, "Accounting
   for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal
   Use," was issued.  This SOP provides guidance on the accounting for
   computer software costs.  In April, 1998, SOP No. 98-5, "Reporting on
   the Costs of Start-Up Activities," was issued.  This SOP provides
   guidance on accounting for the cost of start-up activities.  The
   Company is not required to adopt these Statements until January, 1999
   and does not expect the adoption of these standards to result in
   material changes to previously reported amounts or disclosures.

   In June, 1998, FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for
   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This Statement
   requires that all derivative instruments, including certain derivative
   instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded on the balance
   sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. 
   This Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be
   recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
   criteria are met.  The Company is not required to adopt this Statement
   until January, 2000.  The Company is currently evaluating the extent
   to which its financial statements will be affected by this Statement.

   (8) SUBSEQUENT EVENT 
   --------------------

   On November 16, 1998, the Company announced that it acquired a 53
   percent controlling interest of Austral Refrigeration Pty. Limited. 
   Austral, a privately-held company based in Australia, is a licensee of
   the Company's Kysor//Warren product line and the largest manufacturer
   and installer of supermarket display cases and refrigeration systems
   in Australia and New Zealand. The Company had previously acquired a 24
   percent interest in Austral as part of its 1997 acquisition of Kysor
   Industrial Corporation, which had increased to 30 percent prior to
   this latest acquisition.  Austral reported sales for its fiscal year
   ended June 30, 1998 of approximately U.S. $90 million.

   the foregoing and other factors. 

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

   Net sales for the third quarter of 1998 were a record $164.4 million,
   up $4.7 million or 3 percent from sales for the third quarter of 1997. 
   The Company also reported record sales for the nine months ended
   October 4, 1998 of $493.2 million, up $61.7 million or 14 percent from
   sales for the first nine months of 1997.  Nine month 1998 results
   included sales of $208.3 million from the Commercial Products Group of
   Kysor, which was acquired by the Company in March, 1997.  Nine month
   1997 results included sales from March 10 through September 28 of
   $152.7 million from Kysor.

   Sales to the food retail industry, consisting primarily of sales to
   supermarkets and convenience stores, represented 43 percent of the
   Company's sales in the third quarter and 44 percent of sales in the

   first nine months of 1998.  Products sold to the food retail industry
   include refrigerated display cases, mechanical refrigeration systems,
   walk-in coolers and freezers, and commercial ice machines.  Food
   retail sales increased $3.8 million to $71.3 million in the third
   quarter of 1998, compared to the third quarter of 1997.  Sales to the
   food retail industry for the first nine months of 1998 were $214.6
   million, an increase of $17.3 million, or 9 percent, over pro forma
   nine month 1997 sales of $197.3 million.  The 6 percent increase in
   food retail sales during the third quarter of 1998 was primarily due
   to continuing strong sales of walk-in coolers and freezers.  Sales of
   refrigerated display cases increased modestly during the third quarter
   over the same quarter of 1997, while the Company's backlog of orders
   from supermarkets remained ahead of last year's third quarter level.

   Sales to the commercial foodservice industry, consisting primarily of
   sales to primarily restaurants, hotels, motels, bottlers, brewers and
   the Company's distribution network, represented 57 percent of the
   Company's sales for the third quarter of 1998 and 56 percent of sales
   for the first nine months of 1998.  Products sold to the commercial
   foodservice industry  include commercial ice machines, food
   preparation and storage equipment, and beverage systems products. 
   Sales to foodservice customers were $93.1 million in the third quarter
   of 1998, an increase of 1 percent over the prior year period.  Sales
   to foodservice customers in the first nine months of 1998 were $278.6
   million, an increase of 2 percent compared to the same period in 1997.
     
   Worldwide ice machine sales to the foodservice industry were $45.4
   million in the third quarter of 1998, an increase of 3 percent over
   the same period of 1997.  Ice machine sales in the first nine months
   of 1998 increased 5 percent over the first nine months of 1997.  Ice
   machine sales have benefitted from strong growth in the overall
   domestic ice machine market during the third quarter and first nine
   months of 1998. Sales of ice machines at the Company's foreign
   operations have slowed, however, reflecting a recent slowing of demand
   in Europe. 

   Sales of food preparation and storage equipment decreased 8 percent to
   $29.6 million in the third quarter of 1998, compared to the third
   quarter of 1997.  Sales of food preparation and storage equipment
   decreased 13 percent in the first nine months of 1998, compared to the
   same period of 1997.  While sales during the quarter were at the
   highest level in the past year, they  were below last year's third

   quarter level due to lower sales to national chain customers.  Sales
   of food preparation and storage equipment decreased in the first nine
   months of 1998 from 1997 levels primarily as a result of substantially
   lower sales to Boston Market in the first half of 1998 than in the
   same period of 1997 at the Company's Delfield business unit.

   Sales of beverage systems increased 8 percent to $20.0 million in the
   third quarter of 1998, compared to the third quarter of 1997.
   September year-to-date sales increased 21%, compared to the same
   period in 1997.  Sales gains by the Company's domestic beverage
   dispensing business and the addition of Homark, a manufacturer of
   equipment serving the U.K. beer industry which was acquired by the
   Company in December, 1997, led to the increase in the third quarter. 
   Third quarter 1998 sales of beverage systems in Europe slowed from the
   strong levels of increases reported during the first six months of
   1998 as demand in Europe weakened. 

   The Company's gross profit increased by $1.4 million, or 4 percent, to
   $41.6 million in the third quarter of 1998 from $40.1 million in the
   third quarter of 1997.  Gross profit for the nine months ended October
   4, 1998 increased 12 percent to $124.1 million. The Company's gross
   profit margin as a percentage of net sales remained virtually constant
   in the third quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997. 
   Gross profit and gross profit margin in foodservice increased strongly
   in the third quarter of 1998 over 1997 due to increased sales of
   beverage systems and ice machines in 1998, and improving operating
   margins in food preparation and storage equipment, as the benefits of
   ongoing internal process improvements are beginning to be realized . 
   This increase was largely offset by a decline in margins in food
   retail in the third quarter of 1998 from the same period of 1997 due
   to costs and inefficiencies associated with ramp-up of production
   levels  at a new refrigeration systems plant in Columbus , Ga. which
   opened in July, 1997.

   The increase in the Company's gross profit for the first nine months
   of 1998 is partially attributable to the impact of the Kysor
   acquisition.  Gross profit margins for the first nine months of 1998
   decreased to 25.2 percent in 1998 from 25.8 percent in the same period
   of 1997.  The reduction in margins in the first nine of 1998 is
   attributable to the inclusion, for the full nine-month period, of the
   results of Kysor, which historically has reported lower gross profit
   margins.  Costs and inefficiencies associated with the new

   refrigeration systems plant also contributed to the decrease in
   margins in the 1998.

   Selling and administrative expenses of $23.6 million increased by $1.2
   million or 6 percent in the third quarter of 1998 as compared to the
   third quarter of 1997.  Selling and administrative expenses for the
   first nine months of 1998 of $72.1 million increased $8.7 million or
   14 percent compared to the same period of 1997.  The increase in
   selling and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 1998
   is largely attributable to the inclusion of Kysor results for the full
   nine-month period, including amortization of intangibles of $4.2
   million, during that period, related to the purchase of Kysor. As a
   percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses remained
   constant in the first nine months of 1998 with the first nine months
   of 1997.

   Income from operations of $18.0 million for the third quarter of 1998
   increased by $0.2 million or 1 percent from the third quarter of 1997,
   which reflects increased earnings from gains in sales to foodservice
   customers, and improved operating margins in food preparation and
   storage equipment.  As a percentage of net sales, 1998 third quarter
   income from operations decreased to 10.9 percent, from 11.1 percent in
   1997.

   The Company's overall income tax rate for the third quarter of 1998
   was 47.4 percent compared to 47.0 percent for the third quarter of
   1997.  The income tax rate includes the impact of $1.4 million per
   quarter of amortization of intangibles resulting from the Kysor
   Acquisition, which is not tax deductible.

   Net income for the third quarter of 1998 was $6.0 million, or $0.56
   per share diluted, which is equal to third quarter 1997 net income and
   net income per share.  Net income for the first nine months of 1998
   was also essentially equal with 1997 at $16.3 million, or $1.51 per
   share diluted.  1998 net income includes amortization and interest
   expense related to the 1997 acquisition of Kysor which was incurred
   for the full nine-month period in 1998, as compared to the period from
   mid-March through September in 1997.  Net income for the first nine
   months of 1997 included an extraordinary charge of $0.6 million, or
   $0.06 per share, incurred for the early retirement of debt.

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

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

   The Company uses software and other related technologies throughout
   its business that will be affected by the date change in year 2000. 
   The three areas where year 2000 issues may affect the Company include
   (1) information technology (IT) systems, including computer hardware
   and software, (2) non-IT systems such as manufacturing or office
   equipment and other infrastructure which rely on imbedded computer
   chips to operate, and (3) third parties with significant relationships
   with the Company, such as suppliers, customers, and service providers.

   The Company has substantially completed an assessment of its computer
   (IT) systems and is in the process of executing plans to resolve
   issues identified in these systems.  The resolution of issues involves
   converting or modifying systems, replacing systems, and testing of
   systems used in various applications throughout the Company to ensure
   that information can be accurately processed in the year 2000.  The
   Company is approximately 50 percent complete in modifying or replacing
   IT systems, and expects completion by mid-1999.

   The Company is still in the process of assessing non-IT systems and
   equipment, consisting primarily of factory production equipment.  Based on
   information currently available, testing and remediation of issues
   identified in non-IT systems is estimated to be completed by mid-1999.

   It is currently estimated that the aggregate cost of the Company's
   year 2000 efforts will be approximately $3 million, of which
   approximately $1.6 million has been incurred to date.  All of the
   costs are being funded through operating cash flow.

   The Company is also taking steps to assess the year 2000 readiness of
   significant third parties.  These steps include contacting suppliers,
   customers and service providers that are believed to be critical to
   the business operations after January 1, 2000 to determine their stage
   of year 2000 compliance through questionnaires, interviews, on-site
   visits, and testing.  These activities are currently in process.

   While the Company's year 2000 readiness plans are underway, the
   consequences of non-compliance by the Company, or its significant
   suppliers, customers or service providers could have a material
   adverse impact on the Company's operations.  Although the Company does
   not anticipate any major non-compliance issues, it currently believes
   that the greatest risk of disruption in its business exists in the
   event of non-compliance by third parties that are significant to it.

             --------------------------------------------------

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

   Some of the possible consequences of non-compliance by the Company or
   the significant third parties include, among other things, temporary
   plant closings, delays in the receipt and delivery of raw materials
   and products, invoice and collection errors, and obsolescence of
   inventory.  Given this risk, the Company intends to develop
   contingency plans to mitigate possible disruption in business
   operations that may result from year 2000 related interruptions. 
   Contingency plans may include increasing safety stocks of raw
   materials, securing alternative suppliers, or other appropriate
   measures.

   The Company's year 2000 activities are an ongoing process and the
   estimates of costs and completion dates for various activities
   described above are subject to change.

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

   Historically, the Company's liquidity requirements have arisen
   primarily from the need to fund its working capital, capital
   expenditures, acquisitions, and interest expense, including fixed
   obligations associated with debt or lease obligations.  The Company
   has met these liquidity requirements through use of funds generated
   from operations, along with financing from various sources.  The
   Company expects to continue to generate significant cash flow from
   operations, which will be used to run the Company's businesses and
   fund further growth.  Increased levels of working capital, capital
   expenditures and interest expense associated with the Kysor
   Acquisition are not expected to adversely impact the Company's
   liquidity and access to capital.  

   In March of 1997, the Company financed the acquisition of Kysor, after
   giving effect to the divestiture of Kysor's Transportation Products
   Group and other acquisition related transactions, through a $415
   million loan facility established between the Company, Scotsman Group
   and certain other subsidiaries and The First National Bank of Chicago
   as agent for the lenders (the "FNBC Facility").  The FNBC Facility
   originally consisted of a $150 million seven-year term loan and a $265
   million seven-year reducing revolving loan facility, both with an
   initial interest rate of 1.375 percent above Eurocurrency rates.  The
   interest rates on both facilities adjust based on a leverage ratio as
   defined in the FNBC Facility and vary between 0.5 percent to 1.50
   percent above Eurocurrency rates.  The revolving portion of the FNBC

   Facility reduces on December 31 in the respective years as follows:
   $10 million in 1998, and $15 million in each of 1999, 2000, 2001,
   2002, and 2003, with the remaining amount outstanding payable on the
   loan termination date in March 2004.  The FNBC Facility is guaranteed
   by Scotsman and certain of its subsidiaries and secured by a pledge of
   stock of certain subsidiaries of Scotsman, including, but not limited
   to, Scotsman Group Inc., The Delfield Company and Kysor Industrial
   Corporation.

   The FNBC Facility required that a notional amount of $150 million be
   hedged to reduce interest rate exposure for three years.  Interest-
   rate swaps were established in 1997 to comply with the requirement
   imposed by the FNBC Facility.

   In addition to financing the Kysor acquisition, proceeds of the FNBC
   facility were used to pay expenses associated with this acquisition
   and were used to repay existing long-term debt, including debt
   outstanding under a former $90.0 million reducing revolving credit
   agreement and a $20.0 million private placement agreement.  This early
   repayment resulted in an after-tax loss of $633,000 in the first
   quarter of 1997, which is presented in the accompanying income
   statement in PART I, ITEM 1 as an extraordinary loss.

   In 1997, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Scotsman Group Inc.
   issued $100 million of 8-5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes")
   and used the net proceeds of the Notes to repay $30 million of the
   term loan under the FNBC Facility and also to repay amounts
   outstanding under the revolving credit portion of the FNBC Facility. 
   During the first three fiscal quarters of 1998, the Company repaid
   $17.5 million of the term loan, as required under the FNBC Facility.

   The agreement governing the FNBC Facility and other debt agreements to
   which the Company and its subsidiaries are parties include various
   financial covenants, including covenants which have the effect of
   restricting the amount of the Company's dividends to its shareholders. 
   The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of October 4,
   1998.  Under such covenants, $67.1 million of retained earnings of the
   Company and $77.0 million of retained earnings of the Company and its
   wholly-owned subsidiary, Scotsman Group Inc., were restricted as of
   October 4, 1998.  See Note 5 to the financial statements included in
   this report for a more detailed description of the covenants
   restricting payments of dividends.

             --------------------------------------------------

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

   The Company generated cash flow from operations of $27.2 million for
   the first nine months of 1998 compared to cash flow provided by
   operating activities of $8.8 million for the first nine months of
   1997. 

   The following changes occurred in the following balance sheet
   categories from December 28, 1997, until October 4, 1998, excluding
   the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on those categories:

        Inventory decreased by $1.6 million, which reflects improved
        effectiveness in utilizing inventory at most of the Company's
        businesses. 

        Accounts receivable were $24.0 million higher, primarily as a
        result of the seasonal nature of sales activity both domestically
        and in the Company's foreign subsidiaries.   

        Trade accounts payable were $6.6 million higher which reflects
        the impact of seasonal volume.  

   Capital expenditures, including those funded through capital leases,
   decreased $3.3 million, or 33 percent, to $6.6 million for the first
   nine months of 1998 from $9.9 million for the first nine months of
   1997.  Capital expenditures were higher in the first nine months of
   1997 than the first nine months of 1998, due to the inclusion of
   expenditures incurred in connection with the construction of a new
   Kysor facility in Columbus, Georgia.  

   Cash and temporary cash investments of $18.8 million as of October 4,
   1998, decreased by $5.3 million from December 28, 1997, reflecting the
   decrease in cash balances at the Company's foreign operations. In
   January, 1998, Scotsman Group Inc. received net dividends of $13.7
   million from foreign operations which were then used by Scotsman Group
   Inc. to reduce borrowing under the FNBC facility.

   Shareholders' equity increased $14.7 million from December 28, 1997,
   which is primarily attributable to net income of $16.3 million for the
   first nine months of 1998, offset by a reduction in shareholders'
   equity caused by changes in accumulated foreign currency translation
   adjustments of $1.3 million and the impact of dividends.
