Note 3.   Taxes on Income

           Taxes on income are allocated to interim periods on the basis of an
           estimated annual effective tax rate.

Note 4.   Net Income (Loss) Per Share

           Basic net income per share includes no dilution and is calculated by
           dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
           outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the
           potential dilution of securities that could share in the net income
           of the Company which consists of stock options (using the treasury
           stock method). In a period with a net loss, the weighted average
           shares outstanding will be the same.

Note 5.   Intangibles

           Goodwill is calculated as the excess cost of purchased businesses
           over the value of their underlying net assets and is being amortized
           on a straight-line basis over fifteen years.

                                                                          Page 7

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

Speizman Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") is a
major distributor operating through four companies: Speizman Industries, Inc.
("Speizman" or "Speizman Industries"), Wink Davis Equipment Co., Inc. ("Wink
Davis"), Todd Motion Controls, Inc. ("TMC"), and Speizman Yarn Equipment, Inc.
("Speizman Yarn"). Speizman distributes sock knitting machines, other knitting
equipment and related parts. Wink Davis sells commercial and industrial laundry
equipment, including the distribution of machines and parts as well as
installation and after sales service. TMC manufactures automated boarding,
finishing and packaging equipment used in the sock knitting industry. TMC's
products are sold through Speizman's distribution network. Speizman Yarn
distributes equipment used in the yarn processing industry.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues increased by about $7.1 million to $27.6 million for the 13-week period
ended October 2, 1999 as compared to the 14-week period ended October 3, 1998.
Revenues for knitted fabric equipment, laundry products and used yarn processing
equipment increased by approximately $6.6 million, $2.0 million and $1.1
million, respectively. These increases were offset by a decrease of about $3.1
million in sales of hosiery related equipment.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues in the first fiscal quarter was
81.9% as compared to 83.0% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. This
favorable shift is due primarily to increased operating efficiencies associated
with higher sales volume. Service expenses represented approximately 6.5% of
revenues in the current fiscal year as compared to 8.0% of revenues for the same
period in the prior year.

Selling expenses increased to $2.1 million in the current fiscal year from $1.8
million in the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily due to increased
sales activities of yarn processing equipment operations.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended October 2, 1999 were
about $1,796,000 as compared to $1,730,000 in the prior year.

Interest expense is shown net of interest income. Net interest expense in the
current fiscal year was $387,000 as compared to $231,000 for the same period
last year. This increase is due to higher borrowings on the bank line of credit
and interest expense on the obligation under capital lease for the Company's new
main facilities.

Income tax expense in the current fiscal year was $263,000 or 40.2% of net
income before taxes. In the prior year, income tax benefit on the net operating
loss was $110,000 or 37.7% of net

                                                                          Page 8
<PAGE>

income before taxes. The higher effective income tax rate in the current fiscal
year is due to the unfavorable impact of certain non-deductible expenses.

Net income for the first quarter was $391,000 or $0.12 per share both basic and
diluted. In the first quarter of the prior fiscal year, the net loss was
$182,000 or $0.05 per share both basic and diluted.

OUTLOOK

The Company has received increased quantities, as compared to recent quarters,
of circular knitting machinery used in the production of seamless garments and
action wear. The Company anticipates a slowdown in new customer orders for this
equipment as the market absorbs the large volume of machine shipments currently
on backorder. The sock manufacturing industry is currently assessing the impact
of new technology which enables hosiery manufacturers to automate their
production processes by knitting in the toe as opposed to manually seaming. The
Company has received many customer orders for this equipment and anticipates
significant shipments to begin in the next quarter. The yarn processing
equipment division's customers continue to face difficult business conditions,
including foreign competition. The outlook for Wink Davis (laundry equipment,
parts and services) remains substantially unchanged.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At October 2, 1999, the Company's working capital was $16.3 million, as compared
to $16.1 million at July 3, 1999, the end of the Company's previous fiscal year.
The current ratio decreased to 1.55 from 1.57 over that same period.

Operating activities used approximately $5.8 million in the first quarter of the
current fiscal year. In the same quarter of the prior fiscal year operating
activities used about $2.1 million. In each of these years, a primary reason for
cash usage is the decrease in accounts payable. Accounts payable typically
decrease in August when the Company receives no new machine shipments.

Investing activities used $93,000 for the period ended October 2, 1999 and
$88,000 for the same period last year.

For the first quarter of the current year, financing activities provided $6.0
million, primarily through borrowings on the line of credit. For the first
quarter of the prior fiscal year financing activities provided $262,000.

SEASONALITY AND OTHER FACTORS

There are certain seasonal factors that may affect the Company's business.
Traditionally, manufacturing businesses in Italy close for the month of August,
and the Company's hosiery customers close for one week in July. Consequently, no
shipments or deliveries, as the case may be, of machines distributed by the
Company that are manufactured in Italy are made during these periods which fall
in the Company's first quarter. In addition, manufacturing businesses in Italy
generally close for two weeks in December, during the Company's second quarter.
Fluctuations

                                                                          Page 9
<PAGE>

of customer orders or other factors may result in quarterly variations in net
revenues from year to year.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on the
Company's operations.

DISCLOSURE ABOUT FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

Generally, the Company's purchases of foreign manufactured machinery for resale
are denominated in Italian lira. In the ordinary course of business, the Company
enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the effect of foreign
currency movements between the Italian lira and the U.S. dollar from the time of
placing the Company's purchase order until final payment for the purchase is
made. The contracts have maturity dates that do not generally exceed 12 months.
Substantially all of the increase or decrease of the lira denominated purchase
price is offset by the gains and losses of the foreign exchange contract. The
unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized in
the results of operations in the period in which the hedged transaction is
consummated.

A substantial portion of the Company's textile machine and spare part purchases
are denominated and payable in Italian lira. Currency fluctuations of the lira
could result in substantial price level changes and therefore impede or promote
import/export sales and substantially impact profits. However, to reduce
exposure to adverse foreign currency fluctuations during the period from
customer orders to payment for goods sold, the Company enters into forward
exchange contracts. The Company is not able to assess the quantitative effect
that such currency fluctuations could have upon the Company's operations. There
can be no assurance that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will
not have a significant adverse effect on future operations.

from those expressed and implied in this document include, without limitation,
the risks of acquisition of businesses (including limited knowledge of the

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Many computer systems and other electronic equipment with embedded
microprocessors were designed to recognize only the last two digits of the year.
With the arrival of the Year 2000 ("Y2K"), these systems and microprocessors may
encounter operating problems due to their

                                                                         Page 10

inability to distinguish years after 1999 from years preceding 1999. As a
result, the Company has been identifying, rectifying or replacing computer
systems or other electronic components that are not Y2K compliant. Examples of
equipment the Company has been analyzing include its primary accounting system,
other information systems and various support equipment, the products
distributed by the company and other products and services procured by the
Company.

The Company has reviewed its primary information system. In the fall of 1998,
the Company upgraded this system by increasing two digit date fields to four
digits. Costs incurred in this project were not significant. Presently, all
subsidiaries (Wink Davis, TMC and Speizman Yarn) and Speizman Industries use
this system for all primary accounting functions. All known issues in the
primary accounting system relating to Y2K have been resolved. In the spring of
1999, Wink Davis was converted to this information system from their previous
system which was not Y2K compliant. At the time of the purchase of Wink Davis on
August 1, 1997, management planned to integrate Wink Davis' information system
into the existing system used by Speizman Industries. This integration project,
which was not accelerated due to the Y2K issue, cost approximately $125,000.
These costs were expensed in fiscal 1999.

The Company does use various other information systems and electronic support
equipment such as telephone and voice mail systems, computer programs and
computer equipment. The Company is currently in the process of making these
non-critical systems Y2K compliant and the Company anticipates that this will be
done by the end of November 1999. These systems will be upgraded through a
combination of modifications done by Company staff and various software patches
from major vendors of telecommunications equipment. Costs incurred in these
projects are not expected to be significant.

A substantial portion of the equipment distributed by the Company has
computerized controls and features. However, to the Company's knowledge, no
operating features are dependent on time or date functions. Additionally, the
Company has received similar assurances from its major suppliers.

The Company is reliant on material vendors, suppliers and customers for a number
of critical operations. We are unable to control the actions of others with
respect to their Year 2000 compliance. However, our material suppliers and
service providers are large companies within their industries and have much at
stake in ensuring their own compliance. We have questioned significant third
parties regarding compliance and to date have not been advised of any major
non-compliance issues. Non-compliance by any of these companies could have a
materially adverse impact on the Company.

The estimates and conclusions in this description of the Y2K issue contain
forward-looking statements and are based on management's estimates of future
events.

         course of business, none of which has been a materially adverse change;

                  (C) The business and properties of the Borrower, WD or TMC are
         not, and since the date of the most recent financial reports thereof

         cancellation or loss of any major contracts;

                  (D) No event has occurred and no condition exists which,

                  (F) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs and
         expenses of the Lender in connection with the preparation, execution
         and delivery of the documents executed in connection with this

         guarantors under, in the case of WD, a Guaranty Agreement dated July
         31, 1997 from the WD in favor of the Lender and, in the case of TMC, a
