NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
our 2001 Annual Report. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June
30, 2001 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2001
Annual Report. These interim statements are unaudited; however, we believe
that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation were made and all
adjustments are normal, recurring adjustments. The results for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. Unless otherwise
specified, any reference to a "year" is to a fiscal year ended June 30. We
reclassified certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial
statements to conform with the current year presentation.
2. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. We use the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method for determining the cost of a significant portion
of our U.S. inventories. We determine cost for the remainder of our
inventories under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost methods.
We used the LIFO method of valuing inventories for approximately 50 percent
of total inventories at September 30, 2001. Because inventory valuations
under the LIFO method are based on an annual determination of quantities
and costs as of June 30 of each year, the interim LIFO valuations are based
on our projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.
Therefore, the interim financial results are subject to any final year-end
LIFO inventory adjustments.
Inventories as of the balance sheet dates consisted of the following (in
thousands):

Less LIFO valuation (43,691) (37,941)
--------- ---------
Total inventories $ 382,701 $ 373,221
========= =========
3. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities
at several of our manufacturing facilities. In addition, we are currently
named as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at several Superfund sites
in the United States. In December 1999, we recorded a remediation reserve
of $3.0 million with respect to our involvement in these matters, which was
recorded as a component of operating expense. This represents our best
estimate of the undiscounted future obligation based on our evaluations and
discussions with outside counsel and independent consultants, and the
current facts and circumstances related to these matters. We recorded this
liability because certain events occurred, including the identification of
other PRPs, an assessment of potential remediation solutions and direction
from the government for the remedial action plan that clarified our level
of involvement in these matters and our relationship to other PRPs. This
led us to conclude that it was probable a liability had been incurred.
Through September 30, 2001, we incurred costs of $0.4 million, which were
charged against this accrual.
In addition to the amount currently reserved, we may be subject to loss
contingencies related to these matters estimated to be up to an additional
$3.0 million. We believe that such undiscounted unreserved losses are
reasonably possible but are not currently considered to be probable of
occurrence. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental
concerns could change substantially in the near term due to factors such as
the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements,
technological changes, discovery of new information, the financial strength
of other PRPs, the identification of new PRPs and the involvement of and
direction taken by government agencies on these matters.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
We maintain a Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) Department,
as well as an EH&S Policy Committee, to ensure compliance with
environmental regulations and to monitor and oversee remediation
activities. In addition, we have established an EH&S administrator at all
our global manufacturing facilities. Our financial management team
periodically meets with members of the Corporate EH&S Department and the
Corporate Legal Department to review and evaluate the status of
environmental projects and contingencies. On a quarterly basis, we
establish or adjust financial provisions and reserves for environmental
contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(SFAS) No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies."
4. For purposes of determining the number of dilutive shares outstanding,
weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share
calculations were increased due to the dilutive effect of unexercised stock
options by 442,942 and 39,253 for the three months ended September 30, 2001
and 2000, respectively. Options to purchase 1.3 million and 2.2 million
shares at September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, are not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option price was
greater than the average market price.

6. On July 1, 2000, we adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," resulting in the recording of current
assets of $1.6 million, long-term assets of $1.4 million, current
liabilities of $1.3 million, long-term liabilities of $0.7 million, a
decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.6 million, net of
tax, and a loss from the cumulative effect from the change in accounting
principle of $0.6 million, net of tax.
We recognized income of $0.1 million and expense of $0.1 million as a
component of other expense, net during the three months ended September 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively, related to hedge ineffectiveness. Based upon
foreign exchange and interest rates at September 30, 2001, we expect to
recognize into earnings in the next 12 months net current liabilities of
$4.9 million related to outstanding derivative instruments and net gains of
$0.2 million, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, related to
expired derivative instruments.
7. Effective July 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which establishes new accounting and reporting
requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142,
all goodwill amortization ceased effective July 1, 2001. Material amounts
of recorded goodwill attributable to each of our reporting units, including
those affected by the restructuring program announced in November 2001 (see
Note 11), currently is being tested for impairment by comparing the fair
value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. This testing could
result in an impairment loss. These impairment tests are required to be
performed within six months of adoption of SFAS No. 142, or December 31,
2001, and at least annually thereafter. On an ongoing basis (absent any
impairment indicators), we expect to perform our impairment tests during
the June quarter, in connection with our annual budgeting process.
Under SFAS No. 142, any impairment adjustment recognized at adoption of
this standard will be reflected as a cumulative effect of accounting
change. Impairment adjustments recognized after adoption, if any, are
required to be recognized as a component of operating expense.
The carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each segment at September
30, 2001 and June 30, 2001 is as follows (in thousands):
September 30, June 30,

In connection with adopting SFAS No. 142, we also reassessed the useful
lives and the classification of our identifiable intangible assets and
determined that they continue to be appropriate. The remaining lives of
these assets primarily range from one to four years. The components of our
amortized intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

8. In 2001, we began to implement a business improvement plan in the J&L
Industrial Supply (J&L) and Full Service Supply (FSS) segments. In the J&L
segment for the September 2001 quarter, we recorded a restructuring and
asset impairment charge of $1.6 million, including $1.1 million for
severance for 20 individuals, $0.3 million for facility closures and $0.2
million for the closure of the German operations. In the FSS segment for
the September 2001 quarter, we recorded restructuring charges for severance
related to five individuals. Additionally in 2001, we took actions to
reduce our salaried work force in response to the weakened U.S.
manufacturing sector. This core-business resize program is completed. The
costs accrued for these plans were based on estimates using the latest
information available at the time that the accrual was established. We
continue to review our business strategies and pursue other cost-reduction
activities in all business segments, some of which could result in future
charges. September 2001 charges and the restructuring accrual at September
30, 2001 are as follows (in thousands):

In the September 2001 quarter, we incurred period costs of $0.1 million
related to these initiatives which were included in cost of goods sold as
incurred. The adjustments for the facility closures were due to incremental
costs incurred to exit these facilities. The other adjustments relate to
reductions in actual amounts paid for severance costs compared to what was
initially anticipated. We recorded these adjustments as a component of
restructuring and asset impairment charge.
In 2000, we announced plans to close, consolidate or downsize several
plants, warehouses and offices, and associated work force reductions as
part of our overall plan to increase asset utilization and financial
performance, and to reposition Kennametal to become the premier tooling
solutions supplier. The costs charged against the restructuring accrual for
the 2000 programs as of September 30, 2001 were as follows (in thousands):

In 1999, we implemented restructuring programs to reduce costs, improve
operations and enhance customer satisfaction. Accruals for these 1999
programs were $0.3 million at September 30, 2001. Costs charged against the
accrual for the voluntary early retirement plan in the September 2001
quarter were $0.1 million.

J&L operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000
was reduced by $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to
restructuring and asset impairment charges. Additionally, operating income
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 includes $1.7 million of
costs primarily related to the tender offer to acquire the outstanding
shares of JLK. FSS operating income for the three months ended September
30, 2000 includes restructuring charges of $0.2 million.
10. In August 2001, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" was issued. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived
assets to be disposed of and supersedes FASB Statement No. 121. This
statement retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for
recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used and measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale. The provisions of this standard must be applied for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. We are currently evaluating the effects
of SFAS No. 144 and are preparing a plan for implementation.
11. In November 2001, we announced a restructuring program whereby we expect to
recognize special charges of $15 million to $20 million, including period
costs of $5 million to $6 million, for the closure of three manufacturing
locations and the relocation of production of a certain product line from
another plant, and associated workforce reductions, in response to
continued steep declines in the AMSG electronics and MSSG industrial
product markets. Approximately half of the special charges will be cash
expenditures. Ongoing annual benefits of $7 million to $9 million are
expected to be fully realized by the end of fiscal 2002. These actions are
expected to improve our competitiveness in these markets and to be
substantially completed during the second and third quarters of fiscal
2002.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SALES
Sales for the September 2001 quarter were $406.7 million, a decline of 10
percent from $453.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Sales were eight percent
below last year excluding unfavorable foreign currency effects of two percent,
the effect of a divestiture of one percent, and incremental workdays in the
September 2001 quarter. Sales in North America contributed to the majority of
the decline as these industrial markets continued to weaken with the exception
of mining and energy. However, European sales continued to show growth, albeit
at a low single digit rate, reflecting a broad-based decline in these markets.
GROSS PROFIT MARGIN
The gross profit margin for the September 2001 quarter was 31.9 percent, a 170
basis point decline compared with 33.6 percent in the year-ago quarter. The
margin decline was due principally to unfavorable foreign exchange and a
significant decline in capacity utilization in the electronics and industrial
products businesses due to the precipitous drop in demand. Additionally, price
increases and incremental productivity improvements from lean enterprise
implementation offset an unfavorable sales mix and modest increases in raw
material costs.
OPERATING EXPENSE
Operating expense for the September 2001 quarter was $99.9 million, a reduction
of nine percent compared to the year-ago quarter, excluding $1.7 million of
costs in 2000 related primarily to the tender offer to acquire the minority
shares of JLK. The elimination of waste and expense through lean initiatives and
other cost-cutting measures nearly kept pace with the sales decline. Excluding
foreign exchange, operating expense declined seven percent.
RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGE
In 2001, we began to implement a business improvement plan in the J&L Industrial
Supply (J&L) and Full Service Supply (FSS) segments. In the J&L segment for the
September 2001 quarter, we recorded a restructuring and asset impairment charge
of $1.6 million, including $1.1 million for severance for 20 individuals, $0.3
million for facility closures and $0.2 million for the closure of the German
operations. In the FSS segment for the September 2001 quarter, we recorded
restructuring charges for severance related to five individuals. Additionally in
2001, we took actions to reduce our salaried work force in response to the
weakened U.S. manufacturing sector. This core-business resize program is
completed. The costs accrued for these plans were based on estimates using the
latest information available at the time that the accrual was established. We
continue to review our business strategies and pursue other cost-reduction
activities in all business segments, some of which could result in future
charges. September 2001 charges and the restructuring accrual at September 30,
2001 are as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the September 2001 quarter, we incurred period costs of $0.1 million related
to these initiatives which were included in cost of goods sold as incurred. The
adjustments for the facility closures were due to incremental costs incurred to
exit these facilities. The other adjustments relate to reductions in actual
amounts paid for severance costs compared to what was initially anticipated. We
recorded these adjustments as a component of restructuring and asset impairment
charge.
In 2000, we announced plans to close, consolidate or downsize several plants,
warehouses and offices, and associated work force reductions as part of our
overall plan to increase asset utilization and financial performance, and to
reposition Kennametal to become the premier tooling solutions supplier. The
costs charged against the restructuring accrual for the 2000 programs as of
September 30, 2001 were as follows (in thousands):
June 30, Cash September 30,
2001 Expenditures Adjustments 2001
------ ------------ ----------- -------------
Employee severance $ 153 $ (79) $ -- $ 74
Facility rationalizations 2,269 (733) -- 1,536
------ ------ --------- ------
Total $2,422 $ (812) $ -- $1,610
====== ====== ========= ======
In 1999, we implemented restructuring plans including several programs to reduce
costs, improve operations and enhance customer satisfaction. Accruals for these
1999 programs were $0.3 million at September 30, 2001. Costs charged against the
accrual for the voluntary early retirement plan in the September 2001 quarter
were $0.1 million.
AMORTIZATION EXPENSE
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" on July 1, 2001. As a result of the
non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142, we ceased amortizing goodwill
resulting in the decline in amortization expense to $0.7 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2001, compared to $6.3 million in the year-ago quarter.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the September 2001 quarter declined 30 percent to $9.0
million, compared to the same quarter last year, due to ongoing reduction in
debt and lower average borrowing rates. Our average U.S. borrowing rates of 5.55
percent were 189 basis points below year ago levels due to Federal Reserve rate
cuts.
OTHER EXPENSE, NET
Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 included
fees of $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, incurred in connection with
the accounts receivable securitization program. The decline in these fees is due
to lower interest rates in the commercial paper market. Other income for the
September 2001 quarter included a gain of $0.8 million from the sale of
miscellaneous underutilized assets. The remainder of the decline from 2000 is
due to lower foreign exchange losses and higher royalty income.
INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the September 2001 quarter was 32.0 percent compared
to an effective tax rate of 40.5 percent in the year-ago quarter. The pro forma
effective tax rate for the September 2000 quarter would have been 35.5 percent,
reflecting the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142. The remainder of the
decline primarily reflects a reduction of the statutory German tax rate
effective July 1, 2001.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
On July 1, 2000, we adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," resulting in the recording of a loss from the
cumulative effect from the change in accounting principle of $0.6 million, net
of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share. The loss primarily relates to the write-down
of previously paid option premiums.
NET INCOME
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was $12.4 million, or $0.40
per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted
share, in the same quarter last year. Pro forma earnings for the September 2000
quarter were $13.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, reflecting the
non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142. Excluding special charges in each
quarter, net income was $13.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the
September 2001 quarter, compared to pro forma net income of $15.9 million, or
$0.52 per diluted share, in the September 2000 quarter. The decline in earnings
is attributable to lower sales levels and margins, partially offset by lower
operating expense and interest costs, and a decline in our effective tax rate.
Special charges in the September 2001 quarter of $1.6 million, or $0.03 per
diluted share, primarily relate to the J&L business improvement plan. Special
charges in the September 2000 quarter of $3.2 million or $0.06 per diluted
share, related to the J&L and FSS business improvement plans and costs
associated with the tender offer to acquire the outstanding shares of JLK,
coupled with a charge of $0.6 million, net of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share,
related to the adoption of SFAS No. 133.
BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW
We operate four global business units consisting of Metalworking Solutions &
Services Group (MSSG), Advanced Materials Solutions Group (AMSG), J&L Industrial
Supply (J&L) and Full Service Supply (FSS), and corporate functional shared
services.

External sales $ 222,957 $ 248,677
Intersegment sales 31,733 23,966
Operating income 24,671 28,759
MSSG sales declined seven percent compared to the September 2000 quarter,
excluding unfavorable foreign exchange effects of three percent due to the
stronger U.S. dollar. Most major end markets weakened year-over-year. In North
America, sales were down 11 percent, while Europe and Asia were up two and seven
percent, respectively, in local currency. In North America, the automotive
market continued to weaken, although the rate of decline has decreased, while in
Europe, automotive sustained previously attained high levels. In North America
and Europe, machine tool builders, both heavy and light engineering and
aerospace slowed.
Operating income was $24.7 million compared to $31.2 million last year,
excluding goodwill amortization in 2000. The decline in operating income is
primarily due to lower sales, lower capacity utilization and unfavorable foreign
exchange effects.

AMSG sales declined four percent, from the September 2000 quarter, excluding
unfavorable foreign exchange effects of one percent. Higher demand for products
used for oil and gas exploration and mining and construction, contributed six
percent to the growth in sales, on a local currency basis. This was offset by
weak demand in the electronics business.
Operating income was $10.4 million compared to $13.4 million last year,
excluding goodwill amortization in 2000. Unfavorable foreign currency effects
reduced operating income by $0.6 million. Margin expansion in mining and
construction contributed to operating income growth, however this was more than
offset by soft market conditions and operating inefficiencies related to low
volumes in electronics.

J&L sales declined 18 percent compared to last year excluding the effects of the
ATS divestiture. The decline in sales is primarily attributed to the North
American automotive downturn and further weakening in the broader industrial
market. Operating income was $2.4 million in the September 2001 quarter,
compared to $2.6 million in the prior year, excluding special charges in each
period and goodwill amortization in 2000. Operating income declined due to the
reduction in sales despite the lower cost structure as a result of the business
improvement plan. J&L operating income for the three months ended September 30,
2001 and 2000 was reduced by $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively,
related to restructuring and asset impairment charges. Additionally, operating
income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 includes $1.7 million of
costs primarily related to the tender offer to acquire the outstanding shares of
JLK.

FSS sales increased two percent compared to last year due primarily to higher
sales to certain automotive customers. Operating income of $1.2 million,
declined $1.0 million compared to the prior year, excluding a restructuring
charge of $0.2 million in the prior year. The decline is due to overall lower
gross margins due to higher percentage of sales to the automotive sector.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash flow from operations is the primary source of financing for capital
expenditures and internal growth. During the quarter ended September 30, 2001,
we generated $8.8 million in cash flow from operations, a decline of $39.5
million compared to the year-ago quarter. The decline resulted primarily from
higher working capital requirements of $32.6 million, due to higher raw material
purchases and increased cash payments primarily related to income tax
liabilities, and a $10.0 million reduction in non-cash items, primarily lower
amortization expense due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142. This was partially
offset by $3.1 million of higher earnings in the September 2001 quarter.
Net cash used for investing activities was $7.1 million, a decline of $6.4
million compared to the year-ago quarter. The decline is due to higher proceeds
realized from the sale of underutilized assets of $2.5 million, a reduction of
the purchase of minority interests of consolidated subsidiaries of $1.9 million
and lower capital expenditures of $1.4 million. We have lowered our projected
capital expenditures for 2002 to be in the range of $50 to $60 million as a
result of further weakening of the U.S. economy. We believe this level of
capital spending is sufficient to maintain competitiveness and improve
productivity.
Net cash used for financing activities was $4.1 million, a decline of $21.0
million compared to the same period last year. This decline primarily is due to
incremental borrowings in 2001 of $4.4 million, compared with debt reduction in
2000 of $25.6 million, offset by treasury stock purchases of $12.4 million in
2001.
In September 2001, we continued our program to repurchase, from time to time,
our outstanding capital stock for investment or other general corporate
purposes. We purchased 375,000 shares of our capital stock at a total cost of
$12.4 million. As a result of these repurchases, we have completed our
repurchase program, announced January 31, 1997, of 1.6 million shares and
brought the total purchased under the authority of the repurchase program
announced in October 2000 to approximately 0.2 million shares. The repurchases
were financed principally by cash from operations and short-term borrowings.
Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in negotiated or
other permissible transactions.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets were $1,822.6 million at September 30, 2001, flat compared to June
30, 2001. Net working capital, excluding the revolving credit loan of $380.0
million, was $399.6 million, up three percent from $386.7 million at June 30,
2001. Primary working capital as a percentage of sales (PWC%) at September 30,
2001 was 27.5 percent, compared to 27.3 percent at June 30, 2001 and 28.3
percent at September 30, 2000. The increase in net working capital and PWC% is
primarily due to lower sales levels and reduced accounts payable levels.
Inventory turnover increased to 3.0 at September 30, 2001, compared to 2.9 at
June 30, 2001, and 2.8 at September 30, 2000, due to initiatives aimed at
increasing inventory turns. The total debt-to-total capital ratio increased to
43.6 percent at September 30, 2001 from 42.9 percent at June 30, 2001 primarily
due to unfavorable foreign exchange effects of $16.3 million and higher
borrowings to fund treasury stock repurchases. The foreign exchange effects were
a result of the U.S. dollar weakening against the Euro. This ratio declined from
44.7 percent at September 30, 2000 due primarily to reduced debt levels,
partially offset by lower minority interest. The revolving credit loan under the
Bank Credit Facility is due in August 2003 and is classified as a current
liability. We currently intend on refinancing this loan on or before the
maturity date.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In August 2001, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" was issued. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to
be disposed of and supersedes FASB Statement No. 121. This statement retains the
fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and measurement of the
impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and measurement of
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The provisions of this standard
must be applied for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We are
currently evaluating the effects of SFAS No. 144 and are preparing a plan for
implementation.
OUTLOOK
Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 are expected to decline 8 to 15
percent, with diluted earnings per share between $0.30 and $0.40, excluding
special charges. The timing of economic improvement remains uncertain. However,
based on current assessments, we are forecasting diluted earnings per share for
the year to range from $2.30 to $2.60, excluding special charges. Cash flow for
the year should still attain the ongoing long-term range of $100 million to
$150 million.
In November 2001, we announced a restructuring program related to the closure
of three manufacturing locations. See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements for additional information.
