NOTE C - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
128, Earnings Per Share, which replaces the presentation of "primary" earnings
per share with "basic" earnings per share and the presentation of "fully
diluted" earnings per share with "diluted" earnings per share. All previously
reported earnings per share amounts have been restated based on the provisions
of the new standard. Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share amounts
are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares for each period presented. Common equivalent shares include stock options
assuming conversion under the treasury stock method.

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



This Report may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results and timing of certain events could
differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, economic conditions, the integration of acquired operations,
management of growth and other factors.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Sales for the quarter ended November 28, 1998 increased $564,000, or 4.6%, to
$12,896,000, as compared with sales of $12,332,000 for the same period in the
prior year. Sales for the six months ended November 28, 1998 were $24,980,000,
as compared with sales of $24,850,000 for the same period in the prior year.
Sales for the six months ended November 28, 1997 included $678,000 in
third-party distribution sales in the United States. Distribution of these
products was eliminated in the beginning of fiscal year 1998 in order to better
concentrate sales and marketing efforts in this region on the Company's core
business products and systems. Excluding sales related to these third-party
products, sales increased $808,000, or 3.3%, in the six months ended November
28, 1998 as compared to the same period a year ago. These increases were the
result of strong sales in continental Europe and acquisitions made during fiscal
year 1998 in Europe and Australia, partially offset by a decrease in sales due
to weak economic conditions in Asia and South America and a general weakness in
the worldwide oil and gas industry. The slowdown in the Asian and South American
economies and the oil and gas sector continues to affect the Company's order
levels, and this trend is anticipated to continue over an undetermined period of
time.

Gross profit for the second quarter ended November 28, 1998 was $6,028,000, or
46.7% of sales, as compared to $6,127,000, or 49.7% of sales, for the same
period in fiscal year 1998. For the six months ended November 28, 1998, gross
profit was $11,739,000 (47% of sales) as compared to $12,098,000 (48.7% of
sales) for the same period in the prior year. The change in gross profit
percentages is the direct result of the higher mix of system sales, with average
margins of 35-40%, versus standard product sales, with average margins of
45-55%.

Selling, general and administrative, and engineering ("operating expenses")
increased $210,000, or 4.9%, for the second quarter ended November 28, 1998
compared to the same period in prior year. For the first six months of fiscal
year 1999, these expenses increased $339,000, or 4.0%, compared to the same
period in the prior year. The increase in operating expenses for the three and
six months ended November 28, 1998 is directly attributable to new businesses
acquired and opened as the Company continues to expand its operations globally.
Excluding the third-party U.S. sales as described above from fiscal year 1998,
operating expenses as a percentage of sales has remained constant at
approximately 35% of sales for all periods presented.

PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (CONTINUED)



Income from continuing operations decreased $173,000 to $1,057,000 for the
quarter ended November 28, 1998 compared to $1,230,000 for the same period in
the prior year. For the six months ended November 28, 1998, income from
continuing operations decreased by $369,000 to $1,976,000 compared to $2,345,000
for the same period in fiscal year 1998. This decrease in earnings is directly
related to the reduced gross profit for the period as well as increased costs
related to newly acquired or opened operations.



LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

For the six months ended November 28, 1998, net cash provided by operating
activities included $4,819,000 from continuing operations as compared to
$1,468,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash provided
by operating activities was principally due to the collection of accounts
receivable balances in the first six months of fiscal year 1999. Net cash of
$348,000 was used in discontinued operations in the first six months of fiscal
year 1998.

During the six months ended November 28, 1998 and 1997, cash used for investing
activities consisted mainly of capital expenditures. Cash used in financing
activities for the six months ended November 28, 1998 and 1997 consisted
principally of payments on long-term debt and dividends paid to shareholders.

To insure the availability of funds to meet its various needs, the Company has a
comprehensive credit facility with its bank. The credit facility includes a
$5,000,000 revolving line of credit; and a $10,000,000 line of credit available
for acquisitions or capital expenditures. At November 28, 1998, the Company had
no outstanding balances under the revolving credit or acquisition lines.

As of November 28, 1998, the Company had $12,352,000 in cash and cash
equivalents, and working capital of $26,641,000, with a ratio of current assets
to current liabilities of approximately 4.2 : 1. This compares with cash and
cash equivalents of $9,710,000, and working capital of $25,460,000, with a ratio
of current assets to current liabilities of 3.2 : 1 as of May 30, 1998. The
Company believes it has adequate resources to achieve its operating goals for at
least the next 12 month period.


YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company is continuing the process of assessing Year 2000 issues as they
relate to its systems, business and operations. The Year 2000 issue is the
result of computer systems designed and developed using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year. Any programs that have time-sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000. This
could result in a major system failure or miscalculations unless corrective
measures are taken.

PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (CONTINUED)



The Company has developed a Year 2000 Readiness Plan to address the Year 2000
issues, particularly with respect to its critical systems. Critical systems are
those whose failure poses a risk of disruption to the Company's ability to
provide product to its customers. The Company's plan includes four core phases:
(1) establishing and initiating a master plan and schedule with key staff
members being notified of their responsibilities; (2) assessing the impact of
mission-critical system failures on core business processes by performing a
complete inventory of software on both information technology and
non-information technology systems, such as computer hardware containing
embedded technology; implementing quality assurance checks on clients and
vendors; and defining failure scenarios; (3) modification, upgrade or
replacement of hardware and software in order to meet compliance standards to be
completed by June 30, 1999; and (4) identify and document contingency plans and
establish resumption procedures for each core business process. The Company has
completed phase 1, is currently working on phases 2 and 3, and has yet to
commence phase 4.



The Company is not currently aware of any material costs or operational issues
associated with Year 2000 issues. The Company does not believe that it will
incur significant operating expenses or be required to invest heavily in
improvements to computer systems to be Year 2000 compliant. However, the Company
may experience significant unanticipated problems and costs caused by undetected
errors or defects in internal systems or Year 2000 issues with its customers or
vendors. The worst-case scenario if such problems occur would be the Company's
inability to deliver product to its customers and record revenue. If any of the
Company's customers or vendors experience Year 2000 problems with respect to
their relationship to the Company, such customers or vendors could assert claims
for damages against the Company. While the Company is not aware of any
significant Year 2000 issues for which it will not be adequately prepared ,
there can be no assurance that the Company's business, operating results, or
financial condition will not be adversely affected by issues surrounding the
Year 2000 conversion. To date, the costs incurred by the Company with respect to
Year 2000 compliance have not been material. The Company anticipates that the
majority of costs associated with Year 2000 issues will be related to ongoing,
scheduled software and hardware maintenance upgrades and licensing of phone
systems, PC operating systems, and business applications. Future anticipated
costs are difficult to estimate at the present stage of the project; however,
the Company does not currently anticipate that such costs will exceed $500,000.

           HASKEL DISCUSSES STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES AT ANNUAL MEETING

     BURBANK, CALIFORNIA -- OCTOBER 30, 1998 -- Haskel International, Inc. 
(Nasdaq:HSKL), at its annual meeting of shareholders today, announced further 
details to its earlier disclosure that it has retained Schroder & Co., Inc., to 
assist the company in evaluating business alternatives to enhance the company's 
growth opportunities.

     R. Malcolm Greaves, Haskel's president and chief executive officer, said
that the company is exploring with Schroder a number of alternatives, including
acquisitions that would facilitate growth; the possibility of a merger with an
equal sized company; and/or the sale of the company.

     "With regard to acquisitions by Haskel of other companies, I am only able 
to confirm that we are active in this area and any pending acquisition will be 
announced through further news releases," Greaves said. "We are 
simultaneously pursuing the possible sale of the company. These discussions, 
however, remain exploratory, and no offers have been received or are being 
considered."
