BLOUNT INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


NOTE 1  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements of Blount International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
("the Company") contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2000,
and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2000
and 1999.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
notes to the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.  The results of operations for
the periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000, due to the
seasonal nature of certain of the Company's operations.

On August 19, 1999, Blount International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, merged
with Red Dog Acquisition, Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Merchant Banking Partners II L.P.  The merger was
completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Recapitalization dated
as of April 18, 1999.  This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization
under generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, the historical
basis of the Company's assets and liabilities has not been impacted by the
transaction.  See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999,
for additional information related to the merger.

Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified
to conform with the current year's presentation.

NOTE 2  During the first quarter of 1999, the Company donated art with a book
value of $1.5 million and an appraised value of $4.7 million to a charitable
foundation.  On an after-tax basis, this donation had no significant effect on
net income.


NOTE 3  Inventories consist of the following (in millions):

NOTE 5  Under the provisions of Washington State environmental laws, the
Washington State Department of Ecology ("WDOE") has notified the Company that it
is one of many companies named as a Potentially Liable Party ("PLP"), for the
Pasco Sanitary Landfill site, Pasco, Washington ("the Site").  Although the
clean-up costs are believed to be substantial, accurate estimates will not be
available until the environmental studies have been completed at the Site.
However, based upon the total documented volume of waste sent to the Site, the
Company's waste volume compared to that total waste volume should cause the
Company to be classified as a "de minimis" PLP.  In July 1992, the Company and
thirty-eight other PLPs entered into an Administrative Agreed Order with WDOE to
perform a Phase I Remedial Investigation at the Site.  In October 1994, WDOE
issued an administrative Unilateral Enforcement Order to all PLPs to complete a
Phase II Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study ("RI/FS") under the Scope
of Work established by WDOE.  Based on results of the RI/FS, WDOE has issued a
new administrative Unilateral Enforcement Order to all PLPs to perform several
years of cleanup action at the Site.  The Company is unable to determine, at
this time, the level of cleanup demands that may be ultimately placed on it.
Management believes that, given the number of PLPs named with respect to the
Site and their financial condition, the Company's potential response costs
associated with the Site will not have a material adverse effect on consolidated
financial condition or operating results.

The Company is a defendant in a number of product liability lawsuits, some of
which seek significant or unspecified damages, involving serious personal
injuries for which there are retentions or deductible amounts under the
Company's insurance policies.  In addition, the Company is a party to a number
of other suits arising out of the conduct of its business.  While there can be
no assurance as to their ultimate outcome, management does not believe these
                                     Page 8
<PAGE>
lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on consolidated financial condition
or operating results.

See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, for other
commitments and contingencies of the Company which have not changed
significantly since that date.


NOTE 6  During the six months ended June 30, 2000, a net tax refund of $0.5
million was received, while in the six months ended June 30, 1999, tax payments
of $11.2 million were made.  Interest paid during the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, was $43.7 million and $6.0 million.

During the second quarter of 2000, the Company disposed of some non-core assets,
an airplane, and a manufacturing facility in North Carolina that was part of the
1999 plant rationalization and production realignment efforts of the Industrial
and Power Equipment segment.  The resulting pre-tax gain on the sales of $4.7
million is included in "Other Income (Expense)."  The remaining other income
results from realized gains on securities held in two rabbi trusts (see Note 6
to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, for information regarding
these two trusts).


NOTE 7  For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, net
income and shares used in the earnings per share ("EPS") computations were the
following amounts:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Operating Results

Sales for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000, were $201.3
million and $410.6 million compared to $183.2 million and $368.3 million for the
comparable periods of the prior year.  Net income for the second quarter and
first half of 2000 was $7.0 million and $8.4 million compared to net income of
$8.9 million and $17.7 million for the comparable periods of the prior year.
These results reflect a significant increase in sales and operating income from
both the Outdoor Products segment and the Industrial and Power Equipment
segment.  The Outdoor Products segment reflects good market conditions including
the effect of storm damage in Europe, partially offset by the negative impact of
the U.S. dollar's strength.  The Industrial and Power Equipment segment reflects
an improving market and the effects of plant rationalization and cost reduction
actions taken in 1999.  In addition, the Sporting Equipment segment reflects
improved results.  Corporate expenses for the second quarter and first half of
1999 include $1.6 million and $2.3 million of expenses associated with the
merger.  In addition, the first half of 1999 includes $1.5 million for a
donation of art (see Note 2 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements).  Excluding the expenses associated with the merger and donation of
art, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.7 million and
$2.3 million during the second quarter and first half of 2000 as compared to the
same periods in the prior year.  These increases primarily reflect costs
associated with the increased volume in Outdoor Products.  Higher interest
expense during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000, reflects
higher long-term debt levels during the current year resulting from the
transaction described in Note 1 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.  The Company's effective income tax rate was lower in the
second quarter of 2000 principally from reassessment of the portion of merger
expenses deductible in the current year, while the effective tax rate for the
six months of 1999 was lower principally as a result of the donation of art.
The principal reasons for these results and the status of the Company's
financial condition are set forth below and should be read in conjunction with
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Sales for the Outdoor Products segment for the second quarter and first six
months of 2000 were $90.3 million and $183.9 million compared to $84.3 million
and $160.5 million during the corresponding periods of 1999.  Operating income
was $20.5 million for the second quarter and $42.5 million for the first half of
2000 compared to $19.6 million and $35.7 million in the comparable periods of
the prior year.  Sales reflect a significantly higher volume of sales of chain
saw components, particularly in Europe and Southeast Asia.  Sales of lawn mowers
and accessories were unfavorably impacted by weather conditions in certain of
their markets.  Sales by the segment's principal product groups were as follows
(in millions):

---------------------------      ======   ======              ======   ======
</TABLE>
The improvement in operating income is primarily due to the higher sales of
chain saw components.  Operating income for the first six months of 2000
compared to 1999 was negatively affected by an additional $1.5 million from
unfavorable exchange rates.

Sales for the Sporting Equipment segment were up modestly to $71.7 million for
the second quarter and $145.1 million for the first half of 2000 as compared to
$71.2 million and $141.5 million during the same periods last year.  This
performance reflects increased law enforcement and international sales,
partially offset by declines in rimfire ammunition and optics sales which were
somewhat impacted by Y2K purchasing in 1999.  Operating income increased to $9.8
million and $16.2 million in the current year's second quarter and first six
months from $9.6 million and $15.1 million for the same periods during the prior
year.  Both periods reflect higher volume, particularly for ammunition and
related products, which have slightly higher margins.  Sales by the segment's
principal product groups were as follows (in millions):

The Company's Industrial and Power Equipment segment is a cyclical, capital
goods business whose results are closely linked to the strength of the forestry
industry in general, particularly in the Company's most important market (the
Southeastern United States), as well as the need to offer discounts in response
to extremely aggressive competitive pricing for available sales.  Operating
results for the Industrial and Power Equipment segment in the second quarter and
first half of 2000, while improved over the prior year, were still affected by
soft market conditions.  Dry weather conditions in the Southeastern United
States, coupled with an overhang of used equipment in certain dealers'
inventories, continue to negatively impact sales of new equipment.  Sales of
Gear components and rotation bearings were essentially flat for the second
quarter and first half as increased sales to the utility market were offset by
decreases to the construction equipment market.  Sales by the segment's
principal product groups were as follows (in millions):

This segment had operating income of $1.7 million and $3.0 million during the
second quarter and first six months of 2000, compared to an operating loss of
$5.9 million and $5.0 million during the comparable periods of 1999, primarily
due to increased demand for its timber harvesting equipment.  During the first
half of 2000, in response to the weak market conditions, the Company implemented
a program of production realignments, temporary plant shutdowns and layoffs, and
reduced working hours in this segment to lower costs and match production to
demand.  One manufacturing facility was closed during the first half of 1999
with its production shifted to other Company plants.  Costs of approximately
$1.3 million and $1.9 million for this closure were charged to operations during
the second quarter and first six months of 1999.  With recent pulp price
increases to $700 per metric ton compared to $520 per metric ton a year ago,
more favorable weather conditions, and lower pulp inventories, coupled with
declining levels of used equipment, the expectation in the industry is for a
market improvement later this year, although the extent and timing of any
improvement is uncertain.

The Company's total backlog increased to $114.7 million at June 30, 2000, from
$85.6 million at December 31, 1999, and $90.9 million at June 30, 1999, as

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2000, the Company had significant amounts of debt, with interest
payments on notes and interest and principal payments under credit facilities
representing significant obligations for the Company.  The notes require semi-
annual interest payments and the term loan facilities under the new credit
facilities required payments of principal that commenced on December 31, 1999.
Interest on the term loan facilities and amounts outstanding under the revolving
credit facility are payable in arrears according to varying interest periods.
The Company's remaining liquidity needs relate to working capital, capital
expenditures and potential acquisitions.
                                      Page 18
<PAGE>
The Company intends to fund working capital, capital expenditures and debt
service requirements through cash flows generated from operations and from the
revolving credit facility.  At June 30, 2000, the Company had $14.0 million
outstanding borrowings under its $100.0 million revolving credit facility.
Letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility which reduced the
amount available under the revolving credit facility were $6.8 million at June
30, 2000.  The revolving credit facility matures August 19, 2004.

Management believes that cash generated from operations, together with amounts
available under the revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet the
Company's working capital, capital expenditure and other cash needs, including
financing for acquisitions, in the foreseeable future.  There can be no
assurance, however, that this will be the case.  The Company may also consider
other options available to it in connection with future liquidity needs.

The Company has senior notes outstanding in the principal amount of $150 million
which mature in 2005.  The Company also has senior subordinated notes
outstanding in the principal amount of $325 million which mature in 2009 and
senior term loans outstanding in the principal amount of $337.5 million which
mature at various dates through 2006.  See Note 3 of Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999, for the terms and conditions of the senior
notes, senior subordinated notes, and senior term loans.

Cash balances at June 30, 2000, were $3.9 million compared to $10.5 million at
December 31, 1999.  Cash used in operating activities was $21.7 million in the
first six months of 2000 compared to cash provided by operating activities of
$6.9 million during the prior year's first six months, principally due to a net
income decrease of $9.3 million, higher cash usage of $22.7 million for
inventory and $37.7 million higher interest payments, partially offset by $25.0
million lower receivables reflecting the Industrial and Power Equipment
segment's improved market and $11.7 million lower tax payments.  Working capital
increased to $218.1 million at June 30, 2000, compared to $187.5 million at
December 31, 1999.  Accounts receivable increased by $1.3 million, inventories
increased by $32.9 million, other current assets decreased by $6.5 million,
notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt increased by $3.0
million, accounts payable decreased by $12.3 million, and accrued expenses
decreased by $0.2 million.  The higher inventories reflect increases of $21.0
million at the Sporting Equipment segment resulting from a seasonal build-up in
anticipation of sales during the fall season and to address delivery and
production costs during the upcoming peak, and $9.1 million for the Industrial
and Power Equipment segment, reflecting somewhat improved sales and the effect
of long lead times on certain products.  The notes payable and current
maturities of long-term debt increase reflects $3.0 million short-term
borrowings.  The accounts payable decrease reflects reduced raw material
purchases principally related to lower sales in the second quarter of 2000 than
in the fourth quarter of 1999.  The accounts receivable increase principally
reflects higher sales and longer payment terms used as a marketing tool by the
Sporting Equipment segment, partially offset by lower receivables in the
Industrial and Power Equipment group as second quarter sales are historically
lower than fourth quarter sales.

Accounts receivable at June 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999, and sales by
segment for the second quarter of 2000 compared to the fourth quarter of 1999
were as follows (in millions):

The Company's Outdoor Products segment includes Oregon Cutting Systems,
Frederick Manufacturing and Dixon Industries.  The higher sales by the Outdoor
Products segment and an increased mix of sales to original equipment
manufacturers, who generally require shorter payment terms in comparison to
other customers, result in a decrease in that segment's receivables as compared
to year-end.  Because of the seasonal nature of the sporting equipment business,
the need to produce and ship efficiently in order to ensure an adequate supply
during peak sales periods and in response to competitor programs, the Company
offers extended payment terms within its Sporting Equipment segment in advance
of the fall hunting season.  As a result, receivables tend to peak in September
and reach their low point in January.  At June 30, 2000, extended term
receivables were $26.5 million greater than at December 31, 1999.  The
Industrial and Power Equipment segment lower receivables primarily reflect the
lower sales in the second quarter of 2000 compared to the fourth quarter of
1999.

The Company has absorbed the increased inventory through operating cash flows
and short-term borrowings under its revolving credit agreement.  Given the
historically stronger second half operating cash flows (in 1999, excluding
merger expenses, first half operating cash flows were $9.2 million and second
half operating cash flows were $79.7 million), the Company expects operating
cash flows and amounts available under its revolving credit facility will be
sufficient to cover any further increases until market conditions in the
Industrial and Power Equipment segment improve and payment terms return to those
normally extended.  No material adverse effect on the operations, liquidity or
capital resources of the Company is expected as a result of the extended terms.

There was no cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2000
as the $16.6 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment was offset
by a like amount received from the sale of property, plant and equipment,
principally the Company's corporate aircraft.  Cash provided by financing
activities in the first six months of 2000 was $15.0 million, principally
reflecting $14.0 million from the utilization of the revolving credit facility.

The Company is substantially leveraged which may adversely affect its
operations.
                                    Page 20
<PAGE>
This substantial leverage could have important consequences for the Company,
including the following:

1.  the ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital
expenditures or other purposes may be impaired or may not be available on
favorable terms;

2.  a substantial portion of cash flows available from operations will be
dedicated to the payment of principal and interest expense, which will reduce
the funds that would otherwise be available for operations and future business
opportunities;

3.  a substantial decrease in net income and cash flows or an increase in
expenses may make it difficult to meet debt service requirements or force the
Company to modify operations; and

4.  substantial leverage may make the Company more vulnerable to economic
downturns and competitive pressure.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities."  SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivatives and hedging.  It requires that all
derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value and
establishes specific criteria for the use of hedge accounting.  The Company's
required adoption date is January 1, 2001.  SFAS No. 133 is not to be applied
retroactively to financial statements of prior periods.  The Company expects no
material adverse effect on consolidated results of operations, financial
position or cash flows upon adoption of SFAS No. 133, but does expect a small
reduction in stockholders' deficit.

On December 3, 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements."  SAB 101 summarizes some of the staff's interpretations
of the application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition.  SAB 101 was originally required to be adopted no later than the
first quarter of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1999.  However,
SAB 101A extended the implementation date for certain registrants with fiscal
years that begin between December 16, 1999, and March 15, 2000, to report a
change in accounting principle no later than their second quarter of the fiscal
year beginning after December 15, 1999.  SAB 101B extended the implementation
date until the fourth quarter of the fiscal year beginning after December 15,
1999.  Management is in the process of evaluating this accounting bulletin and
has not yet determined the future impact on the Company's financial statements.
