In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial  statements of Worksafe Industries Inc. and subsidiaries  ("Worksafe")
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary
to present  fairly the  consolidated  balance sheet as of September 30, 2000 and
the related  statements of operations  and cash flows for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999.

The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

The summarized  financial  information does not include all disclosures required
to be included in a complete set of financial  statements prepared in conformity
with generally accepted  accounting  principles.  Such disclosures were included
with the consolidated  financial statements of Worksafe as of June 30, 2000, and
included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Such  statements  should be read in
conjunction with the data herein.

2.   Liquidity and Financing

During the year ended June 30, 2000, Worksafe incurred a net loss of $1,671,139.
The net loss was primarily due to a negative inventory discrepancy,  between the
Company's  physical  inventory  count and the  amount  recorded  on the  general
ledger,  which was  discovered in connection  with the  completion of the fiscal
2000 year-end closing. The Company is currently  investigating the cause of this
discrepancy  and has notified its insurance  carriers of its intention to file a
claim.  However,  there can be no assurance that the Company will be awarded any
benefit as a result of any claim filed.  The Company is in technical  default of
certain loan covenants  contained in its line of credit  agreement with Congress
Financial  Corporation  ("Congress"),  whereby  Congress has the right to demand
repayment of all amounts  outstanding under the line. To date,  Congress has not
demanded such repayment. Additionally, under the terms of Worksafe's mortgage on
its Huntington Station,  N.Y. facility,  should Congress demand repayment of the
line of credit, Worksafe would be in default of the mortgage, which would become
due and payable in full.

While there is no formal agreement, Congress has been providing the Company with
an overdraft  facility,  and the Company has been engaged in ongoing discussions
with Congress in an effort to obtain additional  increases in availability.  The
Company is also  considering  alternative  financing  sources  such as strategic
investors and other lenders.


                                       6

Management  has been  developing a broad  operational  plan,  which provides for
personnel  reductions,  alternative  sources  of lower cost raw  materials,  the
consolidation  of certain  manufacturing  operations,  reconfiguration  of sales
territories  and lower  sales  commissions.  Management  believes  that with the
successful execution of this plan, and the necessary financing arrangement, they
will have  sufficient  working  capital to continue in  operations  for the next
twelve months.  However, there can be no assurance that Worksafe will be able to
obtain the necessary  financing,  at favorable  terms,  needed to implement this
plan.  Additionally,  even with the necessary  financing,  due to  uncertainties
involved in the execution of this plan, many of which are outside the control of
Worksafe,  there can be no assurance that Worksafe will be able to  successfully
implement  this plan.  These  factors raise  substantial  doubt as to Worksafe's
ability  to  continue  as a  going  concern,  and as a  consequence,  Worksafe's
independent public accountants  included an additional  paragraph regarding this
uncertainty  in their  auditors'  report on  Worksafe's  consolidated  financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2000.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2001,  Worksafe incurred an unaudited net loss of
$267,580  and has  negative  working  capital.  Worksafe has been advised by its
independent  public  accountants  that if management  is unable to  successfully
execute  their  plans and improve  operations,  Worksafe  will again  receive an
auditors'  report for fiscal 2001, which will include an uncertainty with regard
to Worksafe's ability to continue as a going concern.

3.   Inventories

Inventories  are valued at the lower of first-in,  first-out  cost or market and
consist of the following:

                                                September 30,          June 30,
                                                     2000               2000
                                                     ----               ----

Raw materials                                    $1,152,372           $  981,235
Work-in-process                                     978,767              955,236
Finished goods                                    2,683,450            3,326,774
                                                 ----------           ----------
         Total                                   $4,814,589           $5,263,245
                                                 ==========           ==========

4.   Litigation

Worksafe is a party to various asbestos  lawsuits alleging damages from exposure
to  asbestos  products  previously  sold by  Worksafe.  Refer to Part II,  Other
Information, Item I "Legal Proceedings" in this Form 10-Q, as well as Note 12 to
the audited Consolidated  Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 2000,
regarding the asbestos litigation.


                                       7
<PAGE>


5.   Net Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share  amounts  were  computed  by  dividing  the net loss by the
weighted-average  number of common shares  outstanding,  excluding any potential
dilution.  Diluted loss per share amounts were computed by reflecting  potential
dilution  from the exercise of stock  options.  As the inclusion of any dilutive
securities  for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  would have
had an antidilutive effect, no reconciliation is presented herein.

6.   Comprehensive Loss

For the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  Worksafe's  operations
did not give rise to items included in comprehensive loss which were not already
included in net loss.  Therefore,  Worksafe's  comprehensive loss is the same as
its net loss for all periods presented.

7.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Derivative Instruments

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities".  This statement establishes  accounting and
reporting  standards for derivative  instruments,  including certain  derivative
instruments  embedded in other contracts,  and for hedging activities.  SFAS No.
133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, became effective in the quarter ended September
30, 2000 SFAS No. 133 does not require  retroactive  restatement of prior period
financial statements.  This statement requires the recognition of all derivative
instruments  as either assets or  liabilities  in the balance sheet  measured at
fair value.  Derivative  instruments  are  recognized  as gains or losses in the
period of change. If certain conditions are met where the derivative  instrument
has been designated as a fair value hedge, the hedge items may also be marked to
market through earnings,  thus creating an offset. If the derivative is designed
and qualifies as a cash flow hedge,  the changes in fair value of the derivative
instrument are recorded in comprehensive  income. The Company does not presently
make use of derivative instruments,  and therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 133
did not have an impact on the results of operations of Worksafe.

Shipping and Handling Costs

In September 2000, the Emerging  Issues Task Force ("EITF")  reached a consensus
with  respect to EITF Issue No.  00-10,  "Accounting  for  Shipping and Handling
Revenues  and Costs." The  purpose of this issue  discussion  was to clarify the
classification  of shipping  and  handling  revenues  and costs.  The  consensus
reached was that all shipping and handling billed to customers is revenue.


                                       8
<PAGE>


Further,  a  consensus  was reached  that the  classification  of  shipping  and
handling  costs is an  accounting  policy  decision  that  should  be  disclosed
pursuant to APB Opinion No. 22, "Disclosures of Accounting  Policies." A company
may adopt a policy of including  shipping  and  handling  costs in cost of goods
sold. If shipping costs are  significant  and are not included in costs of goods
sold,  a company  should  disclose  both the  amounts of such costs and the line
items on the statement of operations that included them.

This  issue  will  require  a  restatement  of  prior  periods  for  changes  in
classification.  This consensus is effective for the Company  beginning with the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company is in the process of quantifying  the
impact of the adoption of this issue, which will not change previously  reported
(loss) income from operations or net loss.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Worksafe's  operations  consist  of its  manufacturing  segment  which  produces
disposable and reusable industrial apparel and protective knit gloves.  Worksafe
maintains  facilities for  warehousing  and production in Puerto Rico,  Alabama,
Mexico (a contractor), Texas, California, Louisiana and Minnesota.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three  months  ended  September  30, 2000 were  $6,658,000  as
compared to  $5,787,000  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  an
increase of 15.1%.  This increase was  primarily  due to increased  inventory to
support an increase in customer  demand  resulting from industry  consolidation,
sales of higher priced products,  and the realization of additional sales volume
from  focusing  marketing  efforts  in new and  existing  markets  and  industry
segments.

Worksafe's  gross margin decreased to 13.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001
from 17.7% for the same quarter in fiscal 2000.  This  decrease is mainly due to
changes in product mix, and the highly  competitive  pricing by competition  for
disposable products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30,
2000 were  $933,000  (or 14.0% of sales) as compared  to  $953,000  (or 16.5% of
sales) for the same period in the prior year. This decrease,  both in amount and
as a percentage of sales, was due to increased sales as well as lower collection
and legal fees and higher advertising discounts offset by higher freight costs.

Interest  expense was $200,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2001, an increase
of $54,000 when  compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2000.  This increase was
principally  due to higher  average  borrowings  from  Congress at higher rates,
along  with a higher  principal  balance on the  mortgage  of the  property  for
Worksafe's headquarters.


                                       9

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In  connection  with its fiscal 2000  year-end  closing,  Worksafe  discovered a
negative  inventory  discrepancy of $1,350,000.  This inventory  discrepancy was
charged against  Worksafe's  operations in fiscal 2000.  Worksafe hired forensic
consultants  to  assist  in  determining  the  cause of this  discrepancy.  This
investigation is presently  ongoing.  However,  Worksafe does have $1 million of
insurance  coverage  for  employee  theft and $1 million for third party  theft.
Worksafe has not yet filed a claim  against its  policies,  but has notified the
applicable  insurance  carriers of a potential claim.  However,  there can be no
assurance  that  Worksafe  will be awarded  any benefit as a result of any claim
filed.

Worksafe  has a  line  of  credit  agreement  (the  "Agreement")  with  Congress
Financial  Corporation  ("Congress"),  which expires in October  2002.  The line
provides for borrowings of up to $8,000,000,  with interest  payable  monthly at
 .75% in excess of prime,  and an unused line fee of 1/4% per year. The limits on
borrowings  are  85%  of  eligible  accounts  receivable  and  55%  of  eligible
inventory.  The maximum amount  Worksafe can borrow on the inventory  portion is
$3,600,000.  The amounts outstanding under the line as of September 30, 2000 and
June 30, 2000, were approximately $6,171,000 and $6,564,000,  respectively.  The
loans are subject to certain working capital and net worth  requirements and are
collateralized  by all of the  assets of  Worksafe  (except  for the  Huntington
Property,  which is subject to a first  mortgage  of  $647,000).  The  Agreement
prohibits  the payment of cash  dividends.  Worksafe is in technical  default of
certain  loan  covenants  contained  in the  Agreement  with  Congress,  whereby
Congress has the right to demand repayment.  To date,  Congress has not demanded
repayment.  Should Congress demand  repayment of the amounts due under the line,
the mortgage on the  Huntington  Property would be in default and become due and
payable as well.

While there is no formal agreement, Congress has been providing Worksafe with an
overdraft facility, and Worksafe has been in engaged in ongoing discussions with
Congress in an effort to obtain additional  increases in availability.  Worksafe
is also considering  alternative  financing sources such as strategic  investors
and other lenders.  There can be no assurance that Congress will not declare the
indebtedness  immediately  due payable,  and that there will be other sources of
financing for Worksafe, if required.

Management  has been  developing a broad  operational  plan,  which provides for
personnel   reductions,   alternative  sources  of  lower  cost  raw  materials,
consolidation  of certain  manufacturing  operations,  reconfiguration  of sales
territories  and lower  sales  commissions.  Management  believes  that with the
successful execution of this plan, and the necessary financing arrangement, they
will have sufficient working capital to continue in operations for the next 12


                                       10
<PAGE>


months.  However, there can be no assurance that Worksafe will be able to obtain
the necessary  financing,  at favorable  terms,  needed to implement  this plan.
Additionally,  even with the necessary financing,  due to uncertainties involved
in the  execution  of this  plan,  many of which  are  outside  the  control  of
Worksafe,  there can be no assurance that Worksafe will be able to  successfully
implement this plan. As a consequence, Worksafe's independent public accountants
have  included  an  additional  paragraph  in  their  auditors'  report  on  the
consolidated  financial  statements for the year ended June 30, 2002 with regard
to the uncertainty as to Worksafe's ability to continue as a going concern.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2001,  Worksafe incurred an unaudited net loss of
$267,580  and has  negative  working  capital.  Worksafe has been advised by its
independent  public  accountants  that if management  is unable to  successfully
execute  their  plans and improve  operations,  Worksafe  will again  receive an
auditors'  report for fiscal 2001, which will include an uncertainty with regard
to Worksafe's ability to continue as a going concern.

Net cash provided by operating activities was principally a result of a decrease
in inventories and accounts receivable, which was partially offset by a decrease
in other current assets and an increase in accounts payable.

Cash flows used in investing  activities was a result  purchases of property and
equipment. Worksafe has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Cash  flows  used in  financing  activities  were  principally  a result  of net
payments to Congress.

At the present time, Worksafe,  together with a variety of defendants,  is party
to various asbestos-related lawsuits involving a number of plaintiffs,  alleging
damages  from  exposure  to  asbestos  products  at one time  sold by  Worksafe.
Worksafe  may  become  a party to  additional  asbestos-related  actions  in the
future.  Worksafe  is  also  party  to  other  non-asbestos-related  litigation.
Worksafe cannot, at this time, determine the outcome of these uncertainties.  To
date,  Worksafe's  insurance  coverage has been adequate and  Worksafe's  costs,
relative to asbestos litigation against it, have not been material.

Risks and Other Considerations

From time to time,  information  provided by  Worksafe,  statements  made by its
employees,  or  information  provided in its  filings  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission, may contain forward-looking information. Any statements may
be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  Without limiting the foregoing, the
words "believes," "expects,"  "anticipates," "plans" and similar expressions are
intended  to  identify  forward-looking  statements.  Worksafe's  actual  future
results may differ  materially  from the  projections or statements made in such
forward-looking  information  as a result of  various  risks and  uncertainties,
including, but not limited to, the following:


                                       11
<PAGE>


Worksafe is dependent upon its revolving  line of credit with  Congress.  In the
event  that  Worksafe  is unable  to  maintain  a  favorable  relationship  with
Congress,  Congress could demand repayment of all  indebtedness,  and in certain
cases, Worksafe's assets could be foreclosed upon. Additionally, should Congress
demand  repayment,  Worksafe would be in default of their mortgage,  which would
also become immediately due and payable. There can be no assurance that Congress
will not demand repayment,  or that there will be other sources of financing for
Worksafe, if required.

Worksafe is a party to numerous  cases with respect to asbestos  litigation  and
additional  asbestos  actions which continue to be brought  against it. To date,
Worksafe  believes  that its  insurance  coverage  has been  adequate  for those
actions  previously  terminated.  However,  there can be no assurance  that such
coverage will continue to be adequate in the future.  As a result,  there can be
no  assurance  that  asbestos  litigation  will not have an adverse  affect upon
Worksafe. See Item 1 of Part II of this Form 10-Q.

Many of Worksafe's  competitors have greater  financial,  management,  sales and
technical resources.

Worksafe's  success depends to a significant  degree on the contributions of its
key  management.  The loss of services of one or more key members of  management
could have an adverse affect upon Worksafe.

Worksafe is also  dependent  upon Dupont which  supplies  Worksafe with Tyvek(R)
which is used for various lines of Worksafe's  limited-use products.  Management
believes that its current relationship with Dupont is satisfactory.  Worksafe is
a party to a  certain  Garment  Manufacturer  & Seller  License  Agreement  with
Dupont,  pursuant to which Dupont provides  Worksafe with non-woven fabric under
its trademark.  This agreement,  subject to its terms, continues in effect until
January 31, 2002.

Worksafe is required to maintain  substantial  inventory  for its  customers who
require  products on short notice.  There can be no assurance that Worksafe will
be able to maintain  sufficient  inventory,  or that Worksafe will not return to
periods where there is not sufficient  working capital to maintain its inventory
to meet the needs of its customers.

Worksafe also enjoys the benefits of various tax incentives  with respect to its
operations  in Puerto  Rico.  As Puerto  Rico's tax  exemptions  are  reduced or
expire,  Worksafe may be required to pay taxes on income  earned in Puerto Rico.
Worksafe is unable to predict the amount of such  impact  after such  exemptions
are reduced or expire.

Due to the  foregoing,  the  market  price of  Worksafe's  common  stock  may be
volatile at times in response to fluctuations of Worksafe's  operating  results,
changes in analyst earnings  estimates,  market  conditions,  as well as general
conditions and other factors general to Worksafe.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM I.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

During the quarter ended September 30, 2000  approximately  201 asbestos actions
involving  approximately  539 plaintiffs  were instituted  against  Worksafe and
Puerto Rico Safety Equipment Corporation. These actions are for the most part in
the Supreme  Court of the State of New York all counties  within the City of New
York and involve a multitude of defendants. They are either actions, pursuant to
standard  complaints,  for personal  injury or wrongful  death  setting  forth a
number of causes of action in  amounts  of up to  $10,000,000  for  compensatory
damages and $10,000,000 for punitive damages.  All of the foregoing actions have
been  submitted to  Worksafe's  and Puerto Rico Safety  Equipment  Corporation's
insurance  carriers for defense.  Reference is also made to Item 3 of Worksafe's
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2000 regarding  asbestos  actions  against
Worksafe and its insurance coverage.

ITEM 6.  EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

(B) A Form 8-K dated October 12, 2000 was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 13, 2000 under Item 5 in  connection  with the late filing
of the  Company's  Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.  This form
10-K has since been filed.
