Note 3. Taxes on Income

        Taxes on income are allocated to interim periods on the basis of an
        estimated annual effective tax rate.

Note 4. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

        Basic net income per share includes no dilution and is calculated by
        dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
        outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the
        potential dilution of securities that could share in the net income of
        the Company which consists of stock options (using the treasury stock
        method). In a period with a net loss, the weighted average shares
        outstanding will be the same.

Note 5. Intangibles

        Goodwill is calculated as the excess cost of purchased businesses over
        the value of their underlying net assets and is being amortized on a
        straight-line basis over fifteen years.

                                                                          Page 7

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

Speizman Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") is a
major distributor operating through four companies: Speizman Industries, Inc.
("Speizman" or "Speizman Industries"), Wink Davis Equipment Co., Inc. ("Wink
Davis"), Todd Motion Controls, Inc. ("TMC"), and Speizman Yarn Equipment, Inc.
("Speizman Yarn"). Speizman distributes sock knitting machines, other knitting
equipment and related parts. Wink Davis sells commercial and industrial laundry
equipment, including the distribution of machines and parts as well as
installation and after sales service. TMC manufactures automated boarding,
finishing and packaging equipment used in the sock knitting industry. TMC's
products are sold through Speizman's distribution network. Speizman Yarn
distributes equipment used in the yarn processing industry.

NOTE: Wink Davis was acquired on August 1, 1997; TMC was acquired on February 6,
1998; Speizman Yarn began operations on August 1, 1998. Accordingly, each of
these subsidiaries contain different lengths of operations between the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to the same quarter of fiscal 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues decreased by approximately $1.0 million to about $20.5 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal
year. Sales revenues from hosiery machinery and parts decreased by about $4.1
million, offset by increases in knitted fabric equipment of approximately $1.0
million and increased revenues of Wink Davis (related primarily to the inclusion
of a full quarter's activity) of approximately $1.9 million.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues in the quarter ended October 3,
1998 was 83.1%, as compared to 83.4% in the same quarter of the prior fiscal
year. Cost of sales percentages for both textile equipment and laundry equipment
and services were both substantially unchanged from the prior year.

Selling expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 totaled approximately
$1,807,000 as compared to approximately $1,657,000 in the same quarter of last
year. Substantially all of the increase relates to new activity of the three
recently acquired subsidiaries.

General and administrative costs in the first quarter of the current fiscal year
were approximately $1,730,000. In the first quarter of the prior fiscal year
these costs totaled approximately $1,090,000. Approximately $401,000 of the
increase relates to the inclusion of a complete quarter's worth of activity in
the current fiscal period for the three recently acquired subsidiaries.

                                                                          Page 8


<PAGE>

The balance of the increase is attributable to increased rent, depreciation and
professional expenses.

Interest expense is shown net of interest income. In the quarter ended October
3, 1998, net interest expense was approximately $231,000 as compared to $161,000
for the quarter ended September 27, 1997. The increase is primarily due to the
additional usage of the Company's bank line of credit.

In the first quarter of fiscal 1999, income tax benefit was $110,000 or 37.7% of
the net loss. In the first quarter of fiscal 1998, income tax expense was
$251,000 or 38.0% of the net income.

Net loss for the first quarter totaled $182,000 or $0.05 per share, as compared
to net income in the same quarter last year of $409,000 or $0.13 basic and $0.12
diluted.


OUTLOOK

The sock machine business remains in a state of transition, as many athletic
sock producers wait and assess whether new technology from Lonati for closing
the toe of the sock on the knitting machine will meet their customers' needs.
Demand remains strong for large diameter circular knitting machinery utilizing
new technology used in the production of seamless undergarments, actionwear and
swimsuits. Sales and profits of Wink Davis continue to improve.






 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At October 3, 1998, the Company's working capital totaled $19.4 million. This
figure represents a decrease of $1,740,000 from the Company's working capital at
the end of fiscal 1998. The Company's current ratio at October 3, 1998 was 1.99
to 1.00. At June 27, 1998, it was 1.96 to 1.00.

Operating activities used $2,086,000 in cash in the quarter ended October 3,
1998, as compared to usage of $937,000 for the same quarter last year. In the
current quarter, this usage of cash was generated essentially by decreases in
accounts payable and accrued expenses and increases in inventories, partially
offset by decreases in accounts receivable. In the first quarter of last year,
this usage was generated by decreases in accounts payable, partially offset by
decreases in accounts receivable.

In the quarter ended October 3, 1998, investing activities used $88,000. In the
same quarter of fiscal 1998, investing activities used $9.6 million, primarily
related to the acquisition of Wink Davis.

In the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 1999, financing activities provided
$262,000. In the same quarter of fiscal 1998, financing activities provided $8.2
million to fund the investment in Wink Davis.

                                                                          Page 9
<PAGE>

Overall, net cash decreased by $1.9 million in the quarter ended October 3,
1998. In the same quarter last year, net cash decreased by $2.3 million.

The Company anticipates it will consolidate several machinery warehouses and the
administrative offices of Speizman Industries into a new location in the spring
of 1999. The Company expects to incur approximately $1.2 million to $1.4 million
in leasehold upfitting costs through the remainder of fiscal 1999.

SEASONALITY AND OTHER FACTORS

There are certain seasonal factors that may affect the Company's business.
Traditionally, manufacturing businesses in Italy close for the month of August,
and the Company's hosiery customers close for one week in July. Consequently, no
shipments or deliveries, as the case may be, of machines distributed by the
Company that are manufactured in Italy are made during these periods which fall
in the Company's first quarter. In addition, manufacturing businesses in Italy
generally close for two weeks in December, during the Company's second quarter.
Fluctuations of customer orders or other factors may result in quarterly
variations in net revenues from year to year.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on the
Company's operations.

DISCLOSURE ABOUT FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

Generally, the Company's purchases of foreign manufactured machinery for resale
are denominated in Italian lira. In the ordinary course of business, the Company
enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the effect of foreign
currency movements between the Italian lira and the U.S. dollar from the time of
placing the Company's purchase order until final payment for the purchase is
made. The contracts have maturity dates that do not generally exceed 12 months.
Substantially all of the increase or decrease of the lira denominated purchase
price is offset by the gains and losses of the foreign exchange contract. The
unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized in
the results of operations in the period in which the hedged transaction is
consummated.

A substantial portion of the Company's textile machine and spare part purchases
are denominated and payable in Italian lira. Currency fluctuations of the lira
could result in substantial price level changes and therefore impede or promote
import/export sales and substantially impact profits. However, to reduce
exposure to adverse foreign currency fluctuations during the period from
customer orders to payment for goods sold, the Company enters into forward
exchange contracts. The Company is not able to assess the quantitative effect
that such currency fluctuations could have upon the Company's operations. There
can be no assurance that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will
not have a significant adverse effect on future operations.

                                                                         Page 10

NOTE REGARDING PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT

Statements made by the Company which are not historical facts are forward
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could
differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements.
All such forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Important factors that
could cause financial performance to differ materially from past results and
from those expressed and implied in this document include, without limitation,
the risks of acquisition of businesses (including limited knowledge of the
businesses acquired and misrepresentations by sellers) availability of
financing, competition, management's ability to manage growth, loss of
customers, and a variety of other factors.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company has reviewed its computer and business systems to identify those
areas that could be adversely affected by Year 2000 software failures. The
primary information system used by Speizman Industries, TMC, and Speizman Yarn
has been reviewed and all known issues related to the Year 2000 issues have been
resolved. Costs incurred were not significant. The primary information system
used by Wink Davis is not Year 2000 compliant. In conjunction with the purchase
of Wink Davis on August 1, 1997, management planned to integrate Wink Davis'
information into the existing system used by Speizman Industries. The
integration project, which was not accelerated due to the Year 2000 issue, is
scheduled to be completed in January 1999. The estimated project cost of
integrating Wink Davis' information system is approximately $100,000.

A substantial portion of the equipment distributed by the Company has
computerized controls and features. However, to the Company's knowledge, no
operating features of the equipment are dependent on any time or date
information, such as the Year 2000 issue.

The Company is aware of one subsidiary's voice mail system and there may be
other computer-based systems which may require upgrading to ensure operational
continuity beyond December 31, 1999. The Company has substantially completed
identification of all such systems and believes that all significant systems
will be compliant in time to ensure no disruption to the Company's operations.
The cost of bringing these minor systems into compliance is not anticipated to
be material.

Currently, the Company cannot predict the effect of the Year 2000 problem on
entities with which it transacts business and there can be no assurance it will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will be formulating
a contingency plan to address the possible effects of any of its customers
experiencing Year 2000 problems.

                                                                         Page 11
