SHOP VAC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On May 28, 1998,  the Company  completed the sale of its European  operations to
Glen  Dimplex and  certain of its  affiliates.  Shop Vac sold its capital  stock
ownership in most of the European  subsidiaries and the businesses of the French
Branch  operation and its German  subsidiary.  Amounts  reported  herein for the
first quarter of 1998 include the European operations.

Net sales in the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 totaled  $42.8  million,  a
decrease of $5.9  million or 12.0%  compared to the three months ended March 31,
1998.  Net sales were lower than the prior year due to the sale of the  European
Group,  which  decline  was  partially  offset by  increased  sales in the North
American Group.

Gross profit in the three months ended March 31, 1999 totaled $13.7  million,  a
decrease of  approximately  $300,000 or 2.4% when  compared to the three  months
ended March 31, 1998.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales  increased from
28.8% in the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 to 32.0% in the three  months
ended March 31, 1999. This  improvement  was due to continued cost  improvements
and the increase in sales in North America.

Selling,  general and  administrative  ("SG&A")  expense was $8.7 million in the
three  months ended March 31,  1999,  a decrease of  approximately  $1.1 million
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998.  SG&A expense as a percentage
of net  sales  increased  from  20.2%  in the 1998  period  to 20.4% in the 1999
period.  Decreases in SG&A expenses were  primarily  due to the  elimination  of
operating  expenses of the European  Group that was sold in May, 1998  partially
offset by increased advertising expenses in the North American Group.

Income from  operations  was $5.0 million in the first quarter of 1999 which was
an increase of $800,000 or 19.0% compared to the first quarter of 1998.

Net interest  expense was $2.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999,
a decrease of $300,000 or approximately 12.6% compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The lower net interest expense was due to reduced borrowings and
increased interest income on higher cash investments.

Income  tax  expense  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999  increased
approximately $300,000 compared to income tax expense for the three months ended
March 31,  1998,  due to  increased  pretax  earnings.  The  effective  tax rate
decreased from 51.6% in 1998 to 40.6% in 1999. This decrease is primarily due to
losses in European jurisdictions in 1998 for which no tax benefit was available.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended March 31, 1999 cash and cash equivalents increased
from $45.5 million to $46.8 million due to cash provided by operating activities
($3.1  million)  partially  offset by cash used for capital  expenditures  ($1.8
million).

The  Company  believes  that  it  will  be able  to  satisfy  its  debt  service
requirements  and its working capital  expenditure  requirements  from operating
cash flows.

On May 14, 1999 the Company  announced  that it has commenced a tender offer and
consent  solicitation  for all of its 10 5/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2003. The
Company  plans to use the  proceeds of a new bank credit  facility  and its cash
balances to fund the purchase of the Notes.

YEAR 2000 STATUS

The  Company is in the  process of  changing  computer  hardware  platforms  and
application  software for its business management systems.  The new software has
been  installed and tested to be century  compliant.  The  conversion to the new
system is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 1999.



                                        5

<PAGE>    7
The Company has also reviewed its systems other than business management systems
to identify and assess  operational  issues that may result from date  sensitive
equipment and has made the required  modifications to most of these systems. The
Company  expects to complete  remaining  modifications  by the third  quarter of
1999.

The Company is in the process of contacting its significant suppliers and larger
customers to determine  the extent to which the Company is  vulnerable  to third
party compliance with Year 2000 issues.

Through the first quarter of 1999 the Company has spent  approximately  $250,000
to address the Year 2000 issues. The Company believes that the total cost of its
Year 2000 identification,  assessment,  remediation and testing efforts will not
exceed $500,000 which will be funded from operating cash flows.

A contingency  plan has not been developed for dealing with the most  reasonably
likely worst case scenario with respect to the Y2K issue. The Company's  failure
to correct or develop an adequate  contingency  plan to mitigate a material  Y2K
problem,  including  problems  experienced  by  suppliers,  could  result  in an
interruption in normal business activities or operations.  However,  the Company
expects that its efforts to address Year 2000 issues that will allow the Company
to  complete  a  successful   transition  for  the  Year  2000.  This  statement
constitutes a Year 2000 readiness disclosure by Shop Vac Corporation,  under the
Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION -- RISK FACTORS

     To the extent the Registrant has made "forward-looking statements," certain
risk factors could cause results to differ  materially from those anticipated in
such  forward-looking  statements.  Competition from new entrants in the wet/dry
vacuum market or the loss of significant  customers could  adversely  effect the
Company's  share of the wet/dry vacuum  market.  Increases in raw material costs
could adversely impact the future  profitability  of the Company.  The Company's
ability to  successfully  address Year 2000 issues could also  adversely  impact
future profits. Overall anticipated performance of the Company could be affected
by any serious economic downturns in the United States.
