1.    Basis of Presentation


The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements presented herein have
been prepared by Simonds Industries Inc. ("Simonds" or the "Company") and, in
the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature
necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results for a full year.


The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 30, 2000 has been
derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been audited by the
Company's independent public accountants. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to those
rules and regulations, but the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Operating results for
the nine months ended September 29, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 29, 2001. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2000.


2.    Acquisitions and Divestitures


On September 29, 2001, the Company acquired 45% of the outstanding stock of
Herreamientas Manuales Centroamericanas, SA ("Hermacasa") for approximately
$691,000 which was paid in cash with additional financing from the Company's
revolving credit facility with Citizens Bank. The acquisition was accounted for
as a purchase and the purchase price was allocated based on the fair market
value of the underlying assets and liabilities. The purchase price in excess of
fair value of net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill. The results of
operations of Hermacasa subsequent to the date of the acquisition will be
reflected in the Company's financial statements.

On December 29, 2000 the Company entered into a new agreement for a New Senior
Credit Facility ("Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility provides for $40,000 of
availability. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are available for permitted
acquisitions and working capital, including letters of credit. The Credit
Facility is secured by first priority liens on all tangible and intangible
personal property and real property assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Credit Facility expires on December 29, 2003, unless extended.

Under the New Senior Credit Facility the Company is required to comply with
certain covenants. At December 30, 2000 the Company was required to maintain a
ratio of Debt to Worth where indebtedness is required to be less than 1.0 times
the amount of its tangible capital base, capital expenditures during any fiscal
year is to be less than $5,000, and cash flow coverage requires that the ratio

                                       9
<PAGE>

of cash flow to fixed charges to be greater than 1.00 to 1.00 for all fiscal
quarters during 2001 and 1.20 to 1.00 thereafter. At June 30, 2001 the Company
secured a waiver of compliance with respect to cash flow coverage under the New
Senior Credit Facility for the quarter. Additionally, the cash flow coverage
ratios required for the quarters ending September 29, 2001 and December 29, 2001
were amended to .65 to 1.00 and .69 to 1.00, respectively.

On August 8, 2001, the Company and Citizens Bank of Massachusetts agreed to an
amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement dated December 29, 2000. Section 17
(c), covering cash flow coverage, has been amended in its entirety. For the
twelve month period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of
cash flow to fixed charges to be not less than .65 to 1.00 for the fiscal
quarter ended September 29, 2001; .69 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended
December 29, 2001; 1.20 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending during calendar
year 2002 and 1.30 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter thereafter.

Simonds Industries, Inc. was not in compliance with the negative covenant
regarding the ratio of cash flow to fixed charges under Section 17 (c) of the
loan agreement dated December 29, 2000. Effective November 5, 2001, Citizens
Bank has waived the provisions of Section 17 (c) "Cash Flow Coverage" of the
Loan Agreement for the quarterly accounting period ended September 29, 2001
subject to Simonds Industries, Inc's agreement to additional conditions set
forth below:

In consideration for the covenant waiver, Citizens established as of September
29, 2001, a reserve against Accounts in the calculation of the Borrowing Base.
This reserve equals the amount by which fixed charges exceed cash flow on
September 29, 2001 pursuant to the calculations under Section 17(c). Citizens
has reserved its right to alter the amount of this reserve against Accounts
under Section 5(i). The amount of the loan restriction as of September 29, 2001
was $4,247.

The waiver of Section 17(c) relates only to the quarterly accounting period
ended September 29, 2001. Except to the extent waived as set forth above all
terms of the Loan Agreement and related documents remain in full force and
effect.

5.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value. The statement requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged
item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally
document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive
hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 as amended by SFAS No. 137, ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES - DEFERRAL OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE
OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND CERTAIN HEDGING ACTIVITIES, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133. On December 31, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133 as
amended by SFAS No. 138. The adoption did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

                                       10
<PAGE>

In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND
SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENT OF LIABILITIES, a replacement
to SFAS No. 125. This statement defines specific provisions on when liabilities
should be derecognized. This statement is effective for transactions occurring
after March 31, 2001. The adoption of this statement did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or statement of operations.

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) recently released Issue No. 00-10,
ACCOUNTING FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS. This Issue provides
guidance as to the classification and disclosure of shipping and handling costs
that are billed to customers. In order to present the financial statements on a
comparable basis, sales and cost of sales were increased by $170 and $498 for
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively and $154
and $496 for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2001,
respectively.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, which
supercedes APB Opinion No. 16, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS and SFAS No. 38 ACCOUNTING
FOR PREACQUISITION CONTINGENCIES OF PURCHASED ENTERPRISES. SFAS No. 141 requires
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting and that all acquired intangible assets
be recorded separate from Goodwill if they meet certain criteria. The adoption
of SFAS 141 did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or
financial condition.

The Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (SAB 101) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. The
adoption of SAB 101 did not have a material impact on the Company's operating
results or financial position.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No 143, ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT
OBLIGATIONS. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets, and
the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Management
does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect
on the Company's financial condition.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR
DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, which supersedes SFAS No. 121 and portions of APB
Opinion No. 30. This statement addresses the recognition of an impairment loss
for long-lived assets to be held and used, or disposed of by sale or otherwise.
This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Management does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have
a material effect on the Company's financial condition.

6.   Selected consolidating financial statements of parent, guarantors, and
     non-guarantors

The Company's wholly owned domestic subsidiaries fully and unconditionally
guarantee, on a senior subordinated basis, the 10.25% Senior Subordinated Notes,
jointly and severally. The guarantor subsidiary data below includes financial
statements of Armstrong Manufacturing Company. The non-guarantor subsidiaries
data below includes combining financial statements of Wespa, Simonds UK, UK
Holding Co., and Simonds Canada. Separate financial statements of the guarantor
subsidiary have not been presented because management believes that such
financial statements are not material to investors. In addition, the Senior
Credit Facility is guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by the guarantor
subsidiary. The following data summarizes the consolidating results of the
Company on the equity method of accounting for the following periods presented:

Item 2.
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             (Dollars in Thousands)

The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto.

Results of Operations

Comparison of three months ended September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000,
respectively.

Net Sales: Net Sales for the three months ended September 29, 2001 were $26,068
or (14.7%) lower than net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 of
$30,569. The lower 2001 quarterly results reflect reduced demand for our cutting
tools in the wood, paper, and metal products due to lower industrial production
in our served markets. In round numbers, the volume decline on core sales was
down 16% versus prior year; currency and price negatively impacted sales by 2%
while acquisitions and divestitures offset these decreases by 3%.

Gross Profit Margin: Gross Profit was $5,701 for three months ended September
29, 2001, a decrease of ($2,295) from $7,996 for the corresponding period in
2000. Gross Profit as a percentage of net sales was 21.9% and 26.2% for the
three months ended September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000, respectively.
Gross profit was negatively impacted by significantly lower unit volume and
unfavorable product mix as well as the negative impact of currency exchange.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percent of net sales were 22.8% or $5,937
and 20.7% or $6,343 for the three months ended September 29, 2001 and September
30, 2000, respectively. Expenses were below last year's level primarily due to
lower research and development and administrative expenses. However, the SG&A
expenses as a percent of sales were up from the comparable three months last
year by 2.1% and is primarily attributable to the shortfall in sales and the
fixed component of SG&A expenses not decreasing at the same rate as sales.

Operating Income (loss): As a result of the foregoing, operating income
decreased $1,889 to ($236) for the three months ended September 29, 2001 when
compared to the comparable three month period ended September 30, 2000.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was higher by $99 in the three month period
ended September 29, 2001 compared to the corresponding three month period ending
September 30, 2000 due to increased borrowings used to finance the Nicholson
acquisition.

Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes was approximately $28 or a (.9)%
effective tax rate for the three months ended September 29, 2001 as compared to
approximately $86 or 101.2% effective tax rate for the three months ended
September 30, 2000. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory rates
primarily as a result of permanent differences generated from goodwill
amortization and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

Net Income (loss): As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased $1,631 for
the three months ended September 29, 2001 when compared to the three month
period ending September 30, 2000.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000,
respectively.

Net Sales: Net Sales for the nine months ended September 29, 2001 were $85,057
or 11.3% lower than nine months ended September 30, 2000 net sales of $95,908.
In round numbers, core volume was down 13%, foreign exchange rates impacted
sales negatively 1%, and acquisitions accounted for a 3% improvement in sales.

Gross Profit Margin: Gross Profit was $20,856 for the nine months ending
September 29, 2001, a decrease of $7,585 from $28,441 for the corresponding nine
month period ending September 30, 2000. Gross Profit as a percentage of net
sales was 24.5% and 29.7% for the nine months ended September 29, 2001 and
September 30, 2000, respectively. This is the result of the sales shortfall and
lower manufacturing productivity in 2001 vs. 2000. The Company is addressing the
weakness in the market by reducing staffing and controlling expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 21.4% or $18,230 and
20.0% or $19,140 for the nine months ended September 29, 2001 and nine months
ended September 30, 2000, respectively. Expenses were lower by $406 in the most
recent nine month period due to headcount and spending reductions.

Operating Income: As a result of the foregoing, operating income decreased
$6,675 to $2,626 in the nine month period ended September 29, 2001 when compared
to the nine month period ended September 30, 2000.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was higher by $372 in the nine months ending
September 29, 2001 compared to the corresponding period in 2000. This is
primarily attributable to additional acquisitions and increased operating losses
that are being partially funded through the Company's revolving bank loan.

Other, net: The primary reason for other expense of $224 in the nine months
ended September 29, 2001 and $739 in the comparable nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 was realized foreign exchange losses. The Company has managed
its foreign currency exposure by redirecting product flows to mitigate the
strength of the U.S. dollar.

Income Taxes: The benefit from income taxes was $1,014 or a 16.6% effective tax
rate for the nine months ended September 29, 2001, as compared to $871 or an
effective tax rate of 47.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The
effective tax rates differ from the statutory rates primarily as a result of
goodwill amortization and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax
purposes.

Net Income (loss): As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased $4,647 in
the nine months ending September 29, 2001 when compared to the comparable nine
moth period ended September 30, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Simond's principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, meet
required debt payments, and to complete planned maintenance and manufacturing
improvements.

The Company's Senior Credit Facility provides a $40,000 line of credit to meet
acquisition and expansion needs as well as seasonal working capital and general
corporate requirements. This credit line was drawn as of September 29, 2001 in
the amount of $4,421. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest
at a fluctuating rate based on, at the Company's option, either the lender's
prime rate, or LIBOR plus 2.7%. A commitment fee calculated based upon the
unused portion of the revolving credit facility is payable quarterly in arrears.

The Company believes that future cash flows from operations, together with the
borrowings available under the Senior Credit Facility will provide the Company
with sufficient liquidity and financial resources to finance its growth and
satisfy its working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. The Company
may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to pay the
entire principal amount of the Notes when due in 2008. In such event, the
Company would be required to refinance the Notes. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms.

Net Cash Flow: Cash flow used in operations was ($2,981) for the nine months
ended September 29, 2001 versus cash flow from operations of $2,391 for the nine
months ended September 20, 2000. The primary causes have continued to be
additional incremental losses incurred in the nine months ended September 29,
2001 over losses generated in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 in the
amount of ($4,647). In addition, an increase in inventories has used ($939),
accrued expenses have used approximately ($1,161) primarily because of the
timing of interest payments. These uses of cash were partially offset by
additional depreciation of $500 and an overall decrease in accounts receivable
year over year.

Cash flow from investing activities used an additional $4,348 in cash for the
nine months ended September 29, 2001 versus the nine months ended September 30,
2000 predominantly being driven by the Nicholson and Hermacasa acquisitions.

Cash flow from financing activities increased by $4,611 for the nine months
ended September 29, 2001 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This
is caused by additional draws on the Company's revolving loan facility which was
an incremental $4,421 in proceeds year over year.

Seasonality

Historically, the Company's business has not been subject to seasonality in any
material respect. The Company's third quarter, which includes July through
September, is typically lower due to customers' and plant vacation shutdowns.

Inflation

Certain of the Company's expenses, such as wages and benefits, occupancy costs
and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary
pressures. Although the Company to date has been able to offset inflationary
cost increases through operating efficiencies, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to offset any future inflationary cost increases
through similar efficiencies.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, words "believes,"
"expects," "anticipates" and similar expressions are used to identify
forward-looking statements. The Company cautions that a number of important
factors could cause actual results for fiscal 2001 and beyond to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by or on
behalf of the Company. All of these forward-looking statements are based on
estimates and assumptions made by management of the Company, which although
believed to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Therefore, undue reliance
should not be placed on such estimates and statements. No assurance can be given
that any of such estimates or statements will be realized and it is likely that
actual results will differ materially from those contemplated by such forward
looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include: (1)
increased competition; (2) increased costs; (3) loss or disruption of supply
sources of specialty steels; (4) loss or retirement of key members of
management; (5) increases in the Company's cost of borrowings or unavailability
of additional debt or equity capital on terms considered reasonable by
management; (6) adverse state, federal or foreign legislation or regulation or
adverse determinations by regulators; and (7) changes in general economic
conditions in the markets in which the Company may compete and fluctuations in
demand in the metal processing and primary wood industries. Many of such factors
are beyond the control of the Company and its management.
