Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of the management of International Knife & Saw, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, ("the Company"), necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. Beginning in the second quarter of 1997, the captions Sundry-net and Other, which previously were line items in the Statements of Income, have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Related amounts and certain other amounts reported for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996. The consolidated condensed Balance Sheet at December 31, 1996, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. 2. Acquisitions In April, 1997, the Company purchased the assets of Systi Matic Company and affiliated entities ("Systi Matic") for $6.4 million in cash, post-closing contingent payments of $1.2 million for achieving certain annualized earnings levels of which $.3 million is included in accrued liabilities at September 30, 1997, and $1.1 million in assumed debt, subject to post-closing adjustments. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Systi Matic is the largest U.S. producer of carbide edger saws and the largest independent provider of stock saws for the secondary industry in North America with annual sales of approximately $18.0 million. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and was financed from available cash balances. Goodwill totaled $4.2 million on this acquisition and will be amortized on the straight-line method over 40 years. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations generated by and financial position of the Systi Matic assets from the date of acquisition. 7 International Knife & Saw, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited) (in thousands) 2.

Headquartered in Germany, Rolf Meyer is a producer and specialist in knives and spare parts for the printing industry, with annual sales of approximately DM 15.0 million (approximately $8.7 million). The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and was financed from borrowings under the Company's existing revolving credit facilities. Goodwill totaled $2.7 million on this acquisition and will be amortized on the straight-line method over 40 years. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations generated by and financial position of the Rolf Meyer assets from the date of acquisition. In June, 1997, the Company purchased the assets of Cascade/Southern Saw Corp. ("Cascade") for $2.3 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments.

Goodwill totaled $1.1 million on this acquisition and will be amortized on the straight-line method over 40 years. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations generated by and financial position of the Cascade assets from the date of acquisition. 3. Foreign Currency Risk The Company's operating results are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as well as the currency translation of its foreign operations into U.S. dollars. The Company manufactures products in the U.S., Germany, Canada, and China and exports products to more than 75 countries. The Company's foreign sales, the majority of which occur in European countries, are subject to exchange rate volatility. The Company has not historically hedged its foreign currency risk. 8 International Knife & Saw, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited) (in thousands) 4.

Income Taxes IKS Corporation, of which the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary, files a consolidated Federal income tax return which includes the Company. The Company's provision for income taxes includes U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes as well as non-U.S. income taxes in certain jurisdictions. The Company's 1996 effective tax rate was favorably affected by increased profits in the Company's European operations for which no tax provision was recorded because of the availability $1,200 of net operating loss carry forwards ("NOLs") of which only $65 existed at the beginning of 1997. The preceding factor, combined with additional non-U.S. operations incurring losses for which no benefits are being recognized, results in a consolidated effective tax rate that is greater than the statutory rate and greater than the 1996 rate. The current and deferred tax expense and benefit for the Company are recorded as if it files on a stand-alone basis. All participants in the consolidated income tax return are separately liable for the full amount of the taxes, including penalties and interest, if any, which may be assessed against the consolidated group. The current provision for United States income taxes is recorded to the inter company account with IKS Corporation. 6.

Subsequent Events In October and November, 1997, the Company completed acquisitions of the assets of four strategically located service centers for approximately $1.3 million in cash and a $.1 million promissory note to one of the sellers, subject to post-closing adjustments. The acquisitions were financed from available cash balances. Acquired in October were Parker Industrial Tool Company, Nashville, TN; Stafford Grinding Services, Chatanooga, TN; and B&W Industrial Grinding, Inc., Appleton, WI. Acquired in November was North Quabbin Saw Shop, Athol, MA. The above acquisitions generate annual sales of approximately $1.4 million and will be accounted for by the purchase method. 12 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company's Form 10-K as of and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. General The Company is a global leader in the manufacturing, servicing and marketing of industrial and commercial machine knives and saws. Together with its predecessor, the Company has been manufacturing knives and saws for nearly 100 years, beginning in Europe and expanding its presence to the United States in the 1960s. The Company operates on an international basis with facilities in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America and products sold in over 75 countries. The Company offers a broad range of products, used for various applications in numerous markets. Presence outside the U.S. The Company's North American operations account for approximately 73% of its net sales and 83% of its operating income while the Company's other international operations account for the remainder and are spread throughout Europe and Asia. Historically, the Company had focused its sales efforts in North America and Europe, only recently establishing itself in other areas of the world and has increased sales in these other markets from 1% in 1995 to 6% of net sales for the first nine months of 1997. During 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Company entered into joint ventures to establish itself in these emerging markets. The Company's operating results are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as well as the currency translation of its foreign operations into U.S. dollars. The Company manufactures products in the U.S., Germany, Canada and China and exports products to more than 75 countries. The Company's foreign sales, the majority of which occur in European countries, are subject to exchange rate volatility. In addition, the Company consolidates German, Canadian and Chinese operations and changes in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar have impacted financial results. As a result, a decline in the value of the dollar relative to these other currencies can have a favorable effect on the profitability of the Company and an increase in the value of the dollar relative to these other currencies can have a negative effect on the profitability of the Company. Comparing exchange rates for the first nine months of 1997 to the first nine months of 1996, the weaker German Mark had the translation effect of decreasing the first nine months of 1997 sales and operating income from the same period in 1996 by approximately $3.4 million and $.3 million, respectively. In addition, in the first nine months of 1997 there was a decrease in shareholder's equity from the same period in 1996 due to a $1.5 million change in the foreign currency translation adjustment. The Company has not historically hedged its foreign currency risk. Results of Operations As used in the following discussion of the Company's results of operations, (i) the term "gross profit" means the dollar difference between the Company's net sales and cost of sales and (ii) the term "gross margin" means the Company's gross profit divided by its net sales. 13 Third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996 Net Sales: Net sales increased 26.2% and 17.7% to $37.2 and $105.1 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997, respectively from $29.4 and $89.3 million for the same periods in 1996, primarily attributable to the second quarter acquisitions. The Company experienced sales improvements in its North American operations (36.8% to 27.5 million) and (22.6% to $76.4 million) for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 compared to the same periods in 1996, primarily attributable to the second quarter acquisitions. The Company experienced sales improvements (5.4% to $9.7 million) and (6.7% to $28.7 million) in its other operations for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 compared to the same periods in 1996. These improvements are attributable to increased sales from the second quarter Rolf Meyer acquisition partially offset by softness in the Asian markets due to adverse weather encountered by mill customers and the negative translation effects of a weaker German Mark. The effects of a weaker German Mark in the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 compared to the same periods in 1996 resulted in a translation effect that reduced the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 sales by $1.6 and $3.4 million, respectively. Gross Profit: Gross profit increased to $10.9 and $31.6 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 up from $8.6 and $26.5 million for the same periods in 1996, primarily attributable to the second quarter acquisitions. Gross margin increased slightly to 29.3% and 30.1% for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 compared to 29.2% and 29.7% for the same periods in 1996. The Company experienced gross profit improvements in its North American operations (32.8% to $8.5 million) and (22.1% to $23.8 million) for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 compared to the same periods in 1996. The Company experienced gross profit declines (20.0% to $2.4 million) and improvements (11.4% to $7.8 million) in its other operations for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 compared to the same periods in 1996, primarily attributable to the weaker German Mark which had a negative translation effect of $.6 million and $.9 million on the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 gross profit respectively, softness in the Asian markets as discussed above, and offset by the second quarter Rolf Meyer acquisition. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.4 and $20.3 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 compared to $5.7 and $17.8 million for the same periods in 1996 and increased to 19.9% and decreased to 19.3% of sales from 19.4% and 19.9% of sales for the respective periods. Interest Expense, net: As expected, net interest expense increased to $2.9 and $8.7 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 from $.5 and $1.7 million for the same periods in 1996 due to the issuance of $90 million in aggregate principal amount of 11-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Notes") on November 6, 1996 under an indenture dated November 6, 1996 by and between the Company and the United States Trust Company of New York, as trustee (the "Recapitalization"). Income Before Income Taxes: As expected, as a result of the increase in net interest expense discussed above, income before income taxes of $.5 and $2.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 was down significantly from $2.4 and $7.2 million for the same periods in 1996. Excluding the increase in net interest expense of $2.4 and $7.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 over the same periods of 1996, income before income taxes would have been approximately $2.9 and $9.4 million respectively. Income Taxes: The Company's provision for income taxes decreased to $.2 and $1.1 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 down from $.9 and $2.4 million for the same periods in 1996 while the Company's effective tax rate increased to 44.7% and 45.0% from 38.6% and 32.6% for those same periods. The Company's 1996 effective tax rate was favorably affected by increased profits in the Company's European operations for which no tax provision was recorded because of the availability of net operating loss carry forwards ("NOLs") of which only $65,000 existed at the beginning of 1997. In 14 1997, due to the minimal amount of NOLs available to offset European income and additional non-U.S. losses for which no benefits are being recognized because it is more likely than not that they will not be realized in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, the 1997 effective tax rate exceeds the U.S. statutory rate and the prior year consolidated effective tax rate. Net Income: Net income decreased to $.3 and $1.3 million or $.62 and $2.71 per share for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997, respectively from $1.5 and $4.9 million or $3.12 and $10.07 per share for the same periods in 1996, as a result of the factors discussed above. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, to meet required debt payments, and to complete planned maintenance and expansion expenditures. The Company anticipates that its operating cash flow, together with available borrowings of $18.4 million and DM 8,500 under existing credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements and interest service requirements on its debt obligations. As of September 30, 1997, the Company's total debt and shareholder's deficit was $108.9 million and $19.8 million, respectively. Net cash flow provided by operations aggregated $6.3 million for the first nine months of 1997 compared to $4.3 million provided for the first nine months of 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to a $4.2 million decrease in working capital needs and a $.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization offset by a $3.5 million decrease in net income. Cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 1997 was $19.2 million as compared to $7.5 million for the first nine months of 1996. The increased use of cash is primarily due to the second quarter acquisitions, offset by a $2.7 million reduction in fixed asset purchases. Cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 1997 was $6.7 million as compared to a $.5 million use for the first nine months of 1996. The cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 1997 primarily represents an $8.4 million net increase in debt borrowings primarily due to the second quarter acquisitions and a $1.7 million decrease in amount due to parent. The cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 1996 primarily represents an increase in amounts due to parent of $7.2 million offset by a net decrease in debt borrowings of $6.7 million and dividends paid of $1.2 million. Concurrent with the Recapitalization, the Company entered into a $20.0 million senior credit facility, and its German subsidiary entered into a DM 7.5 million credit facility. In the third quarter of 1997, the Company's German subsidiary entered into an additional DM 8.5 million credit facility. At September 30, 1997, $18.4 million was available under the U.S. dollar line and DM 8.5 million was available under the DM lines. The Company did not draw upon these facilities in connection with the Recapitalization or in the first quarter of 1997, but did draw upon these facilities for the Rolf Meyer acquisition. The 11-3/8% Notes impose, and other debt instruments of the Company may impose, various restrictions and covenants on the Company which could potentially limit the Company's ability to respond to market conditions, to provide for unanticipated capital investments or to take advantage of business opportunities. 15 PART II.
