(4)      Subsequent Events

         In May 2000, we received a written commitment from First Security
Bank for the revision of our working capital line through participation by
another lender to increase the maximum borrowing limit to $35.0 million.
Limits on the line advances linked to inventory and accounts receivable
levels will continue to be 65% of eligible inventory and 85% of eligible
accounts receivable, and the interest rate terms will also be maintained.
Under the commitment, the interest rate will decline upon the achievement of
certain declines in the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). The term of the line will be
for two years. Outstanding advances on the line as of May 13, 2000 were $20.0
million. The line will continue to be secured with receivables, inventory,
equipment, patents, and general intangibles. Final implementation of the
modifications is subject to usual and customary conditions, including mutual
execution of amendment documentation.

          OF OPERATIONS

         You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included at

the date of this report. Our actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could
cause or contribute to such material differences include but are not limited
to risks described in Item 1, "Business-Risk Factors" in our annual report on
Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

                                    OVERVIEW

           Jore Corporation was founded to develop and produce innovative power
tool accessories to meet the increasing demand resulting from the growth in the
cordless power tool market. Our revenues have grown through the addition of new
customers, increased sales to established customers and expanded product
offerings. We began our business selling a limited number of drilling and
driving accessories to independent local and regional hardware stores and
building supply centers. In 1990, Makita became our first national customer and
we devoted significant resources to servicing its demand for our products.


                                      6


By 1996, we had expanded our product portfolio to include our reversible
drill and drivers and contractor versions of our products. We also began to
diversify our customer base by selling products to Black & Decker/DeWalt, as
well as to retail customers. In 1997 and 1998, we continued to expand our
customer base by selling to Sears, Home Depot, Canadian Tire and Tru*Serv and
further expanded our product line by introducing our quick change system and
new drilling and driving accessories such as wood boring and masonry bits. In
1999, we increased our revenues and margins by pursuing direct relationships
with major retailers through sales of private label and STANLEY-REGISTERED
TRADEMARK- branded products, increasing sales to existing customers, and
augmenting our existing product portfolio.

         Net revenues are recognized at the time of shipment and sales terms are
typically net 60 or 90 days. Historically, we have experienced negligible bad
debt and do not expect bad debt to be material in the future.

         Cost of goods sold consists primarily of raw materials, labor,
shipping, depreciation, and other direct and indirect manufacturing expenses
associated with the production and packaging of products.

         Our operating expenses include product development costs, sales and
marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Product development
expenses consist principally of personnel costs and material associated with the
development of new products and changes to existing products, which are charged
to operations as incurred. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
selling commissions paid to Manufacturers' Sales Associates, our sales
representative, salaries and employee benefits for internal sales personnel and
costs of advertising and promotional activities. General and administrative
expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits for executive,
managerial and administrative personnel, license fees, facility leases,
depreciation and amortization of capitalized administrative equipment and
building costs and travel and business development costs. Other expense consists
primarily of interest expense associated with our borrowings, net of interest
income on cash and cash equivalents.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

         NET REVENUES. Net revenues decreased from $9.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000, representing a 27.9% decrease. This was due primarily to a delay in timing
from 1999 to 2000 of a significant promotional effort by one of our principal
customers and the continuing transition from our OEM customers to the direct-to-
retail channel. While sales to our OEM customers remained relatively flat during
the first quarter of 2000, sales to retailers under their private labels slowed.
Sales under the Stanley-Registered Trademark- brand are not comparable on a
quarterly basis, as we obtained the license during the second quarter of 1999.

         COST OF GOODS SOLD. Cost of goods sold decreased from $6.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $5.0 million for


                                      7


the three months ended March 31, 2000, representing a 27.3% decrease. The
decrease relates primarily to the reduction in sales. Cost of goods sold as a
percentage of revenues increased slightly from 70.0% for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 to 70.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. A
number of issues impacted our gross margin in the first quarter. In the first
quarter of 2000, a substantial portion of our revenue was with our OEM
customers, which resulted in lower margins. Another issue which impacted our
gross margin was our vertical integration. As we have become more vertically
integrated, our fixed costs have increased, which depress our margins in times
of lower sales. Lastly, a majority of our sales were comprised of higher
cost, purchased inventory items.

         PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Product development expenses decreased
from $117,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $110,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, representing a 5.4% decrease. In addition to
the labor expensed for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, we capitalized $262,000 and $477,000, respectively,
of labor related to equipment constructed in-house. These amounts are included
in property, plant and equipment on the balance sheet and depreciated over the
life of the equipment. The increase in capitalized costs is related to an
increase in engineers who are focused on automation of our processes in our
assembly and packaging areas.

         SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Sales and marketing expenses increased
from $377,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $483,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, representing a 28.2% increase. Advertising
and promotion expenses increased by $122,000 during the first quarter of 2000 as
compared to the first quarter of 1999, due to increased retail advertising as we
continue to focus efforts on the penetration of our direct-to-retail channels
under both private labels and the Stanley-Registered Trademark- brand.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses increased from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999
to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, representing a 46.0%
increase. The increase was a result of the expansion of our management team and
infrastructure to accommodate future growth. We increased our general and
administrative staff, which includes executive, managerial and administrative
personnel, from 61 at March 31, 1999 to 107 at March 31, 2000. Professional
fees, insurance costs, and other equity related costs related to being a public
company also increased.

         OTHER EXPENSE. Other expense increased from $457,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 to $608,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2000, representing a 33.0% increase. This increase was the result of greater
borrowings and a corresponding increase in interest expense.

         NET INCOME / LOSS. As a result of all these factors, we experienced a
loss of $523,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared with pro
forma net income of $507,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Because
we were an S corporation not subject to income taxes in the first quarter of
1999, there was no provision for income taxes. For comparison purposes, we
have calculated and presented a pro forma provision for income taxes totalling

                                      8


$332,000 for the first quarter of 1999, computed as if we had been a
C corporation subject to income taxes for such period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Historically, we have funded operations with short-term lines of credit
and term loans for equipment purchases, and, to a lesser extent, net income from
operations. Our initial public offering of common stock in September 1999
yielded net proceeds to us of $38.6 million, including the exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option. These proceeds were used to repay debt,
distribute the accumulated but undistributed S corporation earnings of the
Company, and provide for capital expenditures. Cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments were $5.0 million as of March 31, 2000, compared to $7.8
million as of December 31, 1999.

         Operations provided net cash of $2.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000. The net cash provided consisted primarily of a decrease in
accounts receivable which was offset by increased inventory, decreased
accounts payable and other current assets.

         Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March
31, 2000, was $4.5 million. Cash used in investing activities consisted
primarily of property and equipment purchases, which was offset by the sale of
investments.

         Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. Cash provided from financing activities was
primarily from term debt which was offset by a pay down of our line of credit.

         We have a revolving line of credit with First Security Bank, N.A., with
a maximum borrowing limit of $25.0 million. Advances on the line are limited to
85% of eligible accounts receivable and 65% of eligible inventory. Trade
accounts receivable and inventory are assigned as collateral. Interest on the
revolving credit line is at the prime rate plus one-half percent or, at our
option, LIBOR plus 2.5%, currently at 8.60%. The term of the agreement is
through August 2001. This line is secured by receivables, inventory, equipment
and general intangibles. At March 31, 2000, we had outstanding advances of $19.9
million on this line.

         In January 2000, we borrowed $8.6 million from Mountain West Bank, N.A.
The loan is collateralized by real estate and buildings owned by us and is
personally guaranteed by Matthew B. Jore, our principal shareholder and our
Chief Executive Officer. The terms include a 20-year amortization, monthly
payment of $77,734, with interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus
 .5%, adjusted every five years. This loan refinanced short-term debt of $2.5
million from the same lender.

         Total capital expenditures, net of dispositions, were $7.5 million in
the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $4.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and $40.9 million for the year ended December 31,
1999. Ninety percent of the expenditures in the first quarter of 2000 have
been related to the acquisition of


                                      9


manufacturing equipment to increase production capacity. In order to maintain
an exclusive relationship with the manufacturer of some of our equipment, we
must continue to purchase approximately $5.6 million of such equipment per
year until May 2004, and we currently plan to invest an additional $17.0
million (approximate) in manufacturing equipment during the balance of 2000.

         We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
at March 31, 2000, will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements of our
current business plan for the next twelve months. Depending on our rate of
growth and expansion of our business beyond our current business plan,
however, we may require additional equity or debt financing to meet future
working capital needs. We cannot assure you that such additional financing
will be available or, if available, that such financing can be obtained on
satisfactory terms.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," and established standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts and hedging activities. The FASB delayed implementation of this
standard, therefore, it will now be effective for the Company beginning in
fiscal 2001. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 133 to have a
material effect on the financial statements.

ITEM 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Substantially all of our cash equivalents and marketable securities are
at fixed interest rates and, as such, the fair value of these instruments is
affected by changes in market interest rates. However, all of our cash
equivalents and marketable securities mature within one year. As a result, we
believe that the market risk arising from our holding of these financial
instruments is minimal. In addition, all of our accounts receivable and accounts
payable are denominated in U.S. dollars, our current customers pay in U.S.
dollars and we pay our vendors in U.S. dollars, and, consequently, our foreign
currency exchange rate risk is immaterial. We do not have any derivative
instruments and do not currently engage in hedging transactions.

         The Company has exposure to interest rate risk from its short-term and
long-term debt. The Company's long-term debt is both fixed rate and variable
rate. The Company had $23.0 million of long-term debt with fixed rates at March
31, 2000. Market risk for fixed-rate long-term debt is estimated as the
potential decrease in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 100 basis points
increase in interest rates and amounts to $953,000 as of March 31, 2000.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         From time to time we have been, and expect to continue to be, subject
to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of our


                                      10


business, including claims of alleged infringement of third-party trademarks
and other intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious,
could require the expenditure of significant financial and managerial
resources.

         In May 2000, we entered into litigation with International Tool
Machines of Florida, Inc. ("ITM"), the manufacturer and supplier of our
proprietary drill bit manufacturing machinery, which litigation was commenced
because we believe that ITM intends to sell and make available these machines
and the related technology to third parties in violation of our exclusive
dealing and nondisclosure agreements with ITM. We seek to prevent ITM from
selling these or similar machines to others, including our competitors, in
violation of existing agreements with ITM.

         ITM stipulated in this case, which is filed in United States Federal
District Court, not to disclose or transfer proprietary information until
expedited discovery is had.  Both parties are moving towards a prompt
resolution of the matter, including expedited discovery and hearings on
motions for injunctions.  However, no assurances can be made that the case
will be resolved short of trial.

         If ITM is permitted to sell our proprietary drill bit manufacturing
equipment to third parties, including our competitors, we would lose our
exclusive right to these technologically advanced drill bit manufacturing
machines. As a result, the comparative advantages that we enjoy over our
competitors in our drill bit manufacturing process could be lost, and our
competitors would be able to achieve significant cost savings and quality
improvements in producing drill bits. An outcome unfavorable to us in this
matter could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position in the
drill bit market.
