                        (In thousands, except share data)
                                   (Unaudited)

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 and
     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, 1999.

     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, 2000 and the results of operations
     and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  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 $2,160 and $2,170 during the six months ended June 30, 2000
     and 1999, respectively.  The Company issued 140,000 and 132,000 shares of
     common stock to Lancer during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
     respectively, in recognition of these capital contributions.

4.   Unusual Item

     In June 1999, the Company experienced a fire at its manufacturing plant in
     Lafayette, Indiana.  The fire damaged a portion of the facility and some of
     its equipment.  As of early January 2000, the Company had completed the
     restoration of its physical capabilities to the same level as before the
     fire.  The damages of the fire, including the costs of clean-up and
     business interruption, were covered by current insurance policies and,
     during the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company and its insurance
     carrier agreed to a final settlement of the resulting claims.

     Direct costs associated with the clean-up and repair portion of the claim
     were $8.9 million, of which $8.5 million was reimbursed by the insurance
     carrier through the second quarter of 2000.  The business interruption
     portion of the claim was $16.5 million, of which $15.0 million was
     reimbursed by the insurance carrier through the second quarter of 2000.

     Prior to final settlement with its insurance carrier, the Company had
     determined its minimum probable recovery for business interruption at the
     end of each quarter and had recorded those amounts as other income.  The
     amounts recorded by quarter are as follows:  June 30, 1999 - $1.0 million,
     September 30, 1999 - $3.3 million, December 31, 1999 - $2.7 million and
     March 31, 2000 - $3.0 million.  The Company recognized $6.5 million of
     business interruption insurance recovery during the second quarter of 2000
     in conjunction with the final settlement of business interruption losses.

     Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the insurance carrier paid the
     Company $1.9 million, representing all remaining amounts due under the
     final settlement of the insurance claim.  Of the $1.9 million funded, $1.5
     million relates to final settlement of the business interruption portion of
     the claim and $0.4 million relates to final settlement of the clean-up and
     repair portion of the claim.  The $1.5 million related to business
     interruption was included in other income during the second quarter of
     2000.

5.   Accounting Standards

     Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
     Statements," was issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
     staff in December 1999.  SAB No. 101 summarizes certain of the SEC staff's
     views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
     recognition in the financial statements.  This issue is currently under
     study by the Company and no estimate of its possible effect is presently
     available.  The Company will apply the accounting and disclosures described
     in SAB No. 101 not later than the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 as required
     by SAB No. 101B.

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

     Recent Development

     The Company finalized the claim with its insurance carrier relating to the
     June 12, 1999 fire - see Note 4 to the financial statements.

     Results of Operations

     Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $43.2 million, a
     decrease of $13.8 million, or 24.2%, from the same period in 1999.  For the
     six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's net sales decreased by $31.8
     million, or 27.1%, to $85.6 million compared to $117.4 million for the six
     months ended June 30, 1999.  The decrease in sales for the three and six
     months ended June 30, 2000 was due to lower sales volume as the Company
     believes customers have remained concerned regarding the Company's
     restoration of its physical operations to pre-fire capabilities.  The
     Company has completely restored its plant and operations to pre-fire
     capabilities and continues to work with customers to regain their business
     as well as identify new markets for growth.  The Company has also
     experienced pricing pressure due to the depreciation of the Euro and other
     foreign currencies against the dollar along with a softening in mining and
     agriculture.

     Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 decreased by $8.6
     million, to $36.4 million, compared to $45.0 million, for the same period
     in 1999.  For the first half of 2000, cost of sales were $71.3 million, or
     83.3% of net sales, compared to $92.4 million, or 78.7% of net sales, for
     the first half of 1999.  The decrease in cost of sales resulted primarily
     from the decrease in sales volume whereas the increase in cost of sales as
     a percentage of sales resulted from lower sales volume, unfavorable product
     mix, and pricing pressure.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), including goodwill
     amortization, were $3.2 million, or 7.4% of net sales, for the three months
     ended June 30, 2000, compared to $4.3 million, or 7.5% of net sales for the
     same period in 1999.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000, SG&A
     decreased by $1.6 million, or 19.1%, to $7.0 million compared to $8.6
     million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The reduction in SG&A for
     the six months ended June 30, 2000, reflects a lower employee bonus accrual
     and the reversal of approximately $1.2 million related to the Incentive
     Plan for Senior Management as discussed in Note 8 to the Company's 1999
     consolidated financial statements.

     Earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2000 decreased
     52.9% to $3.6 million, or 8.4% of net sales, compared to $7.7 million, or
     13.5% of net sales, for the comparable 1999 period.  For the six months
     ended June 30, 2000, the Company's earnings from operations were $7.3
     million, or 8.6% of net sales, compared to $16.4 million, or 14.0% of net
     sales for the first six months of 1999.

     Interest expense, net in the second quarter of 2000 decreased 25.7% to $2.5
     million compared to $3.3 million for the comparable 1999 period.  For the
     first half of 2000 and 1999, interest expense, net was $4.9 million and
     $6.2 million, respectively.  This decrease reflects lower debt balances in
     the first half of 2000 versus the first half of 1999, lower average
     interest rates due to the refinancing in 1999 and a higher level of short-
     term investments.

     The Company recorded $6.5 million of business interruption insurance
     recovery for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and $1.0 million for the
     comparable 1999 period.  The Company recorded $9.5 million and $1.0 million
     of other income pertaining to business interruption insurance recovery
     through June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively, see Note 4 to the
     financial statements.

<PAGE>

     The Company had income before income taxes of $7.6 million in the second
     quarter of 2000 compared to $5.4 million in the second quarter of 1999.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's income before income
     taxes was $11.9 million compared to $11.3 million for the comparable 1999
     period.

     Net income available to common stockholder was $2.8 million for the second
     quarter of 2000 compared to net income available to common stockholder of
     $0.1 million for the same period in 1999, which included a $1.4 million
     loss on early extinguishment of debt.  For the first six months, net income
     available to common stockholder was $3.8 million and $1.9 million in 2000
     and 1999, respectively.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As described in Note 9 to the Company's 1999 consolidated financial
     statements, 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, 2000 was
     $11.9 million, a decrease of $3.2 million compared with the same period in
     1999 when net cash provided by operations was $15.1 million.  This decrease
     reflects lower sales volume, lower accounts receivable turnover net of
     accounts payable, and lower inventory turnover due to the lower sales
     volume.  Working capital less cash at June 30, 2000 increased to $10.7
     million from $10.2 million at December 31, 1999.

     Capital expenditures for manufacturing equipment, machine tools, and
     building improvements totaled $2.6 million and $5.7 million during the
     first six months of 2000 and 1999, respectively, exclusive of $0.5 million
     and $0.2 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively, which was funded by
     accounts payable.  Capital expenditures for both 2000 and 1999 have been
     primarily for increased capacity and productivity to gain efficiencies in
     the manufacturing process.

     Net cash used by financing activities was $0.7 million during the second
     quarter of 2000 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $6.5
     million in the second quarter of 1999.  Strong operating cash flows and
     capital contributions during 2000 and 1999 were used to fund the preferred
     stock dividend, revolver pay down and repayments of long term debt.  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.

     At June 30, 2000, the Company has $19.6 million available under its $20.0
     million Revolving Credit Facility since letters of credit of approximately
     $0.4 million have been issued under this facility.  The Company also has
     the option to increase the Revolving Credit Facility an additional $20.0
     million in $5.0 million increments, subject to certain conditions.

     Management expects to use cash flows from operations to fund the Company's
     planned capital requirements for the remainder of 2000, including capital
     expenditures, interest on long term debt and preferred stock dividends.
     The Company's Credit Facilities, as discussed above and in Note 9 to the
     Company's 1999 consolidated financial statements, may also be utilized to
     meet additional liquidity needs.
