                        (In thousands, except share data)

1.   Interim Financial Information

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
     Fairfield Manufacturing Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company"),
     without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
     Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
     included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
     pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that
     the disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the
     information presented.  These consolidated financial statements should be
     read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes
     thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998.

     In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated
     financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
     recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
     Company's financial position at June 30, 1999 and the results of operations
     and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.  However,
     interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the results for
     a full year.  Certain prior year information has been reclassified to
     conform to current year presentation.

2.   Parent Company of Registrant

     The Company is wholly-owned by Lancer Industries Inc. ("Lancer").

     The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of
     Lancer.  The Company and Lancer have entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement
     under which the Company is required to calculate its current federal income
     tax liability on a separate return basis and pay that amount to Lancer.  To
     the extent such tax liability subsequently reduces Lancer's available tax
     benefits, Lancer is required to reimburse the Company in an amount
     equivalent to 50% of such reduction by making a capital contribution to the
     Company.  Lancer made capital contributions to the Company pursuant to this
     agreement of $2,170 and $1,390 during the six months ended June 30, 1999
     and 1998, respectively.  The Company issued 132,000 and 167,000 shares of
     common stock to Lancer during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
     respectively, in recognition of these capital contributions.

3.   Inventory

4.   Debt Refinancing

     On May 19, 1999, the Company issued $100 million of 9-5/8% Senior
     Subordinated Notes due 2008.  The proceeds of the offering were used by the
     Company as follows; 1) approximately $68.6 million was used to redeem the
     11-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2001; 2) approximately $27.7 million
     was used to reduce outstanding amounts under its Credit Facility and; 3)
     approximately $3.7 million was used to pay the fees and expenses of the
     offering.  The deferred financing costs associated with the 11-3/8% notes
     were written off as part of the loss on the early extinguishment of debt
     discussed above.  The Company also amended the senior credit facility for
     the new note issue and increased its availability under its Revolving
     Credit Facility (subject to certain conditions).

5.   Recent Developments

     On Saturday, June 12, 1999, the Company had a fire at its manufacturing
     plant in Lafayette, Indiana.  By 11 p.m. Sunday, June 13, 1999 the Company
     had resumed operations and began shipping products to customers on the
     morning of Monday, June 14, 1999.  The fire damaged the facility and
     equipment and the Company is currently in the process of restoring
     operations to the same level as before the fire.  The Company believes that
     the damages of the fire, including the costs of clean-up and business
     interruption, are covered by current insurance policies.  The Company is
     currently in the process of accumulating the costs associated with this
     fire and preparing an insurance claim.  Through the end of the quarter
     direct cost associated with the clean-up and repair portions of the claim
     were $1.0 million and have been reimbursed by the insurance carrier.  The
     Company has estimated its business interruption claim for the second
     quarter to be $1.9 million; however, the claim is subject to audit, review
     and negotiation with its insurance carrier.  The Company has determined
     that its minimum probable recovery through June 30, 1999 is $1.0 million
     and has recorded that amount in the second quarter.

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

     Recent Development

     On Saturday, June 12, 1999, the Company had a fire at its manufacturing
     plant in Lafayette, Indiana.  By 11 p.m. Sunday, June 13, 1999 the Company
     had resumed operations and began shipping products to customers on the
     morning of Monday, June 14, 1999.  The fire damaged the facility and
     equipment and the Company is currently in the process of restoring
     operations to the same level as before the fire.  The Company believes that
     the damages of the fire, including the costs of clean-up and business
     interruption, are covered by current insurance policies.  The Company is
     currently in the process of accumulating the costs associated with this
     fire and preparing an insurance claim.  Through the end of the quarter
     direct cost associated with the clean-up and repair portions of the claim
     were $1.0 million and have been reimbursed by the insurance carrier.  The
     Company has estimated its business interruption claim for the second
     quarter to be $1.9 million; however, the claim is subject to audit, review
     and negotiation with its insurance carrier.  The Company has determined
     that its minimum probable recovery through June 30, 1999 is $1.0 million
     and has recorded that amount in the second quarter.

     Results of Operations

     Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $57.0 million, an
     increase of $0.5 million, or 0.9%, from the same period in 1998.  For the
     six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's net sales increased by $5.5
     million, or 4.9%, to $117.4 million compared to $111.9 million for the six
     months ended June 30, 1998.  The increase in sales for the three and six
     months ended June 30, 1999 resulted from continued strong market demand for
     the Company's products as well as increased productive capacity from the
     Company's capital investment program.  Net sales were negatively impacted
     by the June 12 fire at the Company's Lafayette, Indiana manufacturing
     plant.

     Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 decreased by $0.5
     million, to $45.0 million, compared to $45.5 million, for the same period
     in 1998.  Gross margin was 21.0% for the second quarter of 1999 compared to
     19.3% in the second quarter of 1998.  For the first half of 1999, cost of
     sales were $92.4 million, or 78.7% of net sales, compared to $90.9 million,
     or 81.3% of net sales, for the first half of 1998.  The increase in cost of
     sales resulted primarily from the increase in sales volume whereas the
     decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales resulted from favorable
     raw material prices, increased productivity as well as improved product
     pricing and a more favorable product mix.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), including goodwill
     amortization, were $4.3 million, or 7.5% of net sales, for the three months
     ended June 30, 1999, compared to $4.1 million, or 7.2% of net sales for the
     same period in 1998.  For the six months ended June 30, 1999, SG&A
     increased by $0.3 million, or 3.7%, to $8.6 million compared to $8.3
     million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

     Earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased
     12.5% to $7.7 million, or 13.5% of net sales, compared to $6.8 million, or
     12.1% of net sales, for the comparable 1998 period.  For the six months
     ended June 30, 1999, the Company's earnings from operations were $16.4
     million, or 14.0% of net sales, compared to $12.7 million, or 11.3% of net
     sales for the first six months of 1998.

     Interest expense in the second quarter of 1999 remained unchanged from the
     second quarter of 1998.  For the first half of 1999 and 1998, interest
     expense was $6.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively.  This decrease
     reflects lower debt balances and lower average interest rates in the first
     half of 1999 versus the first half of 1998.

<PAGE>

     The Company recorded $1.0 million of other income pertaining to business
     interruption from the date of the fire to the end of the second quarter
     (see Recent Development above).

     The Company had net income before income taxes of $5.4 million in the
     second quarter of 1999 compared to $3.5 million in the second quarter of
     1998.  For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's income before
     income taxes was $11.3 million compared to $6.0 million for the comparable
     1998 period.

     The Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the second
     quarter of 1999 of $1.4 million.  The Company's net income was $1.5 million
     for the second quarter of 1999 compared to net income of $1.9 million for
     the second quarter of 1998.  For the first six months of 1999, net income
     was $4.8 million compared to $3.3 million for the first six months of 1998.

     Net income available to common stockholder was $0.1 million for the second
     quarter of 1999 compared to net income available to common stockholder of
     $0.5 million for the same period in 1998.  For the first six months net
     income available to common stockholder was $1.9 million and $0.4 million in
     1999 and 1998, respectively.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     On May 19, 1999, the Company issued $100 million of 9-5/8% Senior
     Subordinated Notes due 2008.  The proceeds of the offering were used by the
     Company as follows; 1) approximately $68.6 million was used to redeem the
     11-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2001; 2) approximately $27.7 million
     was used to reduce outstanding amounts under its Credit Facility and; 3)
     approximately $3.7 million was used to pay the fees and expenses of the
     offering.  The deferred financing costs associated with the 11-3/8% notes
     were written off as part of the loss on the early extinguishment of debt
     discussed above.  The Company also amended its senior credit facility for
     the new note issue and increased its availability under the Revolving
     Credit Facility (subject to certain conditions).

     On June 6, the Company's Registration Statement of Form S-4 (File No. 333-
     80431) with respect to $100.0 million of its 9-5/8% Senior subordinated
     Notes due 2008 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
     Commission, and on August 9 the Company consummated its exchange offer for
     the exchange of such registered Senior Subordinated Notes for the
     unregistered Senior Subordinated Notes issued on May 19.

     The Company uses funds provided by operations and short-term borrowings
     under its Credit Facility to meet liquidity requirements.  Net cash
     provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $15.1
     million, an increase of $15.7 million compared with the same period in 1998
     when net cash used by operations was $0.6 million.  Working capital at June
     1999 increased to $16.7 million from $15.9 million at December 31, 1998
     reflecting improved management of receivables and inventory.

     Capital expenditures for manufacturing equipment, machine tools, and
     building improvements totaled $5.7 million and $6.0 million during the
     first six months of 1999 and 1998, respectively, of which $0.2 million and
     $1.5 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively, was funded by an increase in
     accounts payable.  Capital expenditures for both 1999 and 1998 have been
     primarily for increased capacity and productivity to support increased
     sales.

     Net cash used by financing activities was $6.5 million during the second
     quarter of 1999 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of
     $3.6 million in the second quarter of 1998.  Strong operating cash flows
     and capital contributions during 1999 were used to fund the preferred stock
     dividend as well as repayments of long term debt.

<PAGE>

     At June 30, 1999, the Company has $19.6 million available under its $20
     million Revolving Credit Facility since letters of credit of approximately
     $0.4 million have been issued under this facility.  The Company
     additionally has the option to exercise four $5 million increases (subject
     to certain conditions) to the Revolving Credit Facility.

     Management expects to use cash flows from operations to fund the Company's
     planned capital requirements for the remainder of 1999, including capital
     expenditures, interest on long term debt and preferred stock dividends.
     The Company's Credit Facilities, as discussed above and in Note 8 to the
     Company's 1998 consolidated financial statements, may also be utilized to
     meet additional liquidity needs.

     Impact of the Year 2000

     During 1997, the Company began the process of assessing the magnitude of
     the year 2000 ("Y2K") on the Company's primary computer systems ("Business
     System").  Following this assessment, a plan was established to modify,
     upgrade, or replace non-compliant hardware and software applications with a
     target completion date of March 1999 for all "critical" applications and
     continuing through 1999 for "non-critical" applications.  Testing is being
     performed on an ongoing basis upon completion of an application and is
     expected to continue throughout 1999.  As of June 30, 1999, all critical
     applications and all Business System applications have been remediated and
     tested.  As a result, the Company has not developed a comprehensive
     contingency plan with regard to the Business System as all critical
     applications are believed to be Y2K ready.  If the Company identifies
     significant additional risks, appropriate contingency plans will be
     developed at that time.

     None of the Company's products contain imbedded electronics or other
     potentially date sensitive components and as such do not require any Y2K
     compliance effort.

     Several types of systems and equipment such as phones, facilities,
     manufacturing equipment, etc. (collectively "non-IT systems") that are not
     typically thought of as computer systems may contain imbedded hardware or
     software that may have a time element.  The Company has completed an
     inventory of non-IT systems and has contacted vendors of these systems and
     equipment to determine if they are Y2K compliant.  As of June 30, 1999 the
     Company has received responses from vendors confirming the compliance of
     approximately 80% of all manufacturing equipment and identifying non-
     compliance issues with approximately 5% of machines.  The Company is in the
     process of repairing, upgrading or replacing non-IT systems identified as
     being non-compliant and is actively following up with vendors from whom
     responses have not been received.  The Company has not developed a
     comprehensive contingency plan with regard to non-IT systems and equipment
     as all identified mission critical systems and equipment are expected to be
     Y2K ready by the end of 1999.  If progress toward Y2K readiness deviates
     from the anticipated time line or the Company identifies significant
     additional risks, appropriate contingency plans will be developed at that
     time.

     The Company is primarily utilizing internal IT resources with the
     additional assistance of contract programmers who are familiar with the
     software.  It is currently estimated that the total cost associated with
     required modifications for both the Business System and non-IT systems to
     become Y2K ready will be approximately $0.4 to $0.5 million, of which
     approximately $0.4 million has been spent as of June 30, 1999.  These costs
     are being expensed as incurred and are being funded from existing operating
     budgets.

     The Company relies on third party suppliers for raw materials, water,
     utilities, transportation, and other services.  Interruption of supplier
     operations due to Y2K issues could affect the Company's operations.  The
     Company is in the process of evaluating and monitoring the status of key
     suppliers' progress toward

<PAGE>

     Y2K compliance.  As a component of this process, the Company has sent a
     questionnaire to suppliers inquiring about their Y2K plan and stage of
     readiness.  As of June 30, 1999 the Company has received responses from 25
     key suppliers, which together represented over 75% of the Company's total
     material purchases in 1998.  All respondents have acknowledged the issues
     surrounding Y2K, have a plan in place, and have stated their intent to be
     compliant by the end of 1999 or earlier.  The Company will continue to
     monitor the progress of key suppliers during 1999, and, if necessary,
     determine potential alternative suppliers and/or develop contingency
     requirements.  These activities, while a means of risk management, cannot
     eliminate the potential for disruption of the Company's operations due to
     third party failure.

     The Company is also dependent upon our customers for sales and cash flow.
     The Company is in the process of contacting key customers to ascertain
     their Y2K readiness.  The progress of key customers toward Y2K compliance
     will continue to be monitored throughout 1999.

     The failure to correct a material Y2K problem in the Company's critical
     Business System applications and non-IT systems, could result in an
     interruption in, or failure of certain normal business activities or
     operations.  Additionally, in the event that any of the Company's key
     suppliers and customers fail to successfully and timely achieve Y2K
     compliance and the Company is unable to replace them with alternate
     suppliers or new customers, the Company's normal business activities could
     be adversely affected.  Such interruptions or failures could have a
     material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows,
     and financial condition.

     The above discussion of Y2K and its potential impact on the Company
     contains forward looking statements that are based on management's best
     estimates of future events.  Specific factors that could affect the actual
     outcome of these estimates and conclusions include a possible loss of
     technical resources to perform the work, failure to identify all
     susceptible systems, non-compliance by third parties whose operations
     impact the Company, and other similar uncertainties.
