                      INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT


Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On  June  6,  2001,   International  Knife  &  Saw,  Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation  ("the  Company"),  sold all of the issued and  outstanding  capital
stock of IKS Klingelnberg GmbH, a wholly-owned  German subsidiary of the Company
("IKSK"),  to Diether  Klingelnberg and TKM GmbH i.G., a company organized under
the  laws  of  Germany  ("TKM"  and,   together  with  Mr.   Klingelnberg,   the
"Purchasers"),  for approximately  $11.7 million in cash. The Company expects to
record a loss on the sale of IKSK of  approximately  $7.9  million.  The loss is
subject to adjustment  based on final closing values and  transaction  expenses.
The proceeds from the sale were  immediately  applied to repay all  indebtedness
and other  obligations  owed by the Company to Deutsche  Bank AG, the  Company's
senior lender.

         Mr.  Klingelnberg  and Thomas W.G.  Meyer are  managing  directors  and
stockholders of TKM. Mr.  Meyer is a minority  stockholder of IKS Corporation, a
Delaware  corporation  and the parent of the Company  ("Parent").  In  addition,
until  April 20, 2001 Mr.  Klingelnberg  served as a director of the Company and
Parent,  and until May 31, 2001 Mr. Meyer served as an Executive  Vice President
of the  Company  and Parent.  At the time of the sale,  Mr.  Meyer was the Chief
Executive  Officer of IKSK. The amount of consideration  paid to the Company for
the issued and  outstanding  capital stock of IKSK was determined by arms-length
negotiation between the Board of Directors of the Company and the Purchasers.

         In connection  with the sale, the Purchasers  agreed that, for a period
of 18 months and subject to certain conditions, IKSK would continue the existing
trading  arrangements  between  the  Company  and IKSK with  respect  to current
products  manufactured by IKSK and purchased by the Company.

         Prior to the sale,  the  holders of a majority in  aggregate  principal
amount of the Company's Series B 11-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the
"Notes")  consented  to the sale and waived  compliance  by the Company with the
provisions of Section 4.14 (Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates), Section
4.15 (Change of Control),  Section 4.16  (Limitation on Asset Sales) and Article
Five of the  Indenture  governing  the  Notes,  as well  as any  other  relevant
provisions of such Indenture, to the extent applicable to the transaction.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.


         (b) Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

On June 6, 2001,  the  Company  sold all of the issued and  outstanding  capital
stock of IKSK to the  Purchasers  for  approximately  $11.7 million in cash. The
Company  expects  to  record  a loss on the sale of IKSK of  approximately  $7.9
million.  The loss is subject to adjustment  based on final  closing  values and
transaction  expenses.  The proceeds from the sale were  immediately  applied to
repay all  indebtedness  and other  obligations  owed by the Company to Deutsche
Bank AG, the Company's senior lender.

Set forth below are the  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  balance sheet of the
Company at March 31, 2001, and the unaudited pro forma  consolidated  statements
of income of the Company for the year ended  December 31, 2000 and for the three
months ended March 31, 2001.

The  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  balance  sheet and  unaudited pro forma
consolidated  statements  of  income  (collectively,  the "Pro  Forma  Financial
Information") are based on the historical  consolidated  financial statements of
the Company,  adjusted to give effect to the  disposition of IKSK. The unaudited
pro forma  consolidated  balance sheet gives effect to the  disposition as if it
had occurred on March 31, 2001. The unaudited pro forma consolidated  statements
of income give  effect to the  disposition  as if it had  occurred on January 1,
2000. The loss on the sale of IKSK is not considered in the presented  unaudited
pro forma consolidated statements of income.

The Pro Forma Financial Information is presented for informational  purposes and
does not purport to represent what the Company's  financial  position or results
of operations  would actually have been had the  disposition of IKSK occurred on
the dates specified or to project the Company's  financial  position and results
of  operations  at any  future  date or for any  future  period.  The Pro  Forma
Financial Information reflects certain assumptions described in the accompanying
notes.  The Pro Forma Financial  Information  should be read in conjunction with
the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company previously filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(a)      The  amounts  in the  "Historical  IKSK"  column are  derived  from the
         unaudited  consolidated  statement  of income  of IKSK for the  quarter
         ended March 31, 2001 and the audited  consolidated  statement of income
         of IKSK for the year ended December 31, 2000, which were prepared based
         on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

(b)      The loss on the sale of IKSK is not  considered  in the  unaudited  pro
         forma consolidated statements of income.

(c)      Adjustment  to net  sales to record  sales  from the  Company  to IKSK,
         previously eliminated.

(d)      Adjustment to cost of sales to record the intercompany  profit included
         in the Company's inventories purchased from IKSK.

(e)      Decrease  in  interest   expense  to  reflect  the   repayment  of  the
         indebtedness and other obligations due to the Company's senior lender.
