KENNAMETAL INC.
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 the Company's 1996 Annual Report. The condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 1996 has been derived from the audited balance sheet
included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report. These interim statements
are unaudited; however, management believes that all adjustments necessary
for a fair presentation have been made and all adjustments are normal,
recurring adjustments. The results for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full fiscal year.

2. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for a significant portion of
domestic inventories and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or average
cost for other inventories. The Company used the LIFO method of valuing
its inventories for approximately 55 percent of total inventories at
September 30, 1996. 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 management's
projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Therefore,
the interim financial results are subject to any final year-end LIFO
inventory adjustments.

3. The major classes of inventory as of the balance sheet dates were as
follows (in thousands):
September 30, June 30,
1996 1996
-------- --------
Finished goods $172,899 $169,108
Work in process and powder blends 58,125 59,326
Raw materials and supplies 21,861 16,514
-------- --------
Inventory at current cost 252,885 244,948
Less LIFO valuation (39,467) (40,014)
-------- --------
Total inventories $213,418 $204,934
======== ========

4. The Company has been involved in various environmental cleanup and
remediation activities at several of its manufacturing facilities. In
addition, the Company has been named as a potentially responsible party at
four Superfund sites in the United States. However, it is management's
opinion, based on its evaluations and discussions with outside counsel and
independent consultants, that the ultimate resolution of these
environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

The Company maintains a Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S)
Department to facilitate compliance with environmental regulations and to
monitor and oversee remediation activities. In addition, the Company has
established an EH&S administrator at each of its domestic manufacturing
facilities. The Company's 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 and annual basis, management establishes or
adjusts financial provisions and reserves for environmental contingencies
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies."

5. Effective July 1, 1996, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." The
adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have an impact on the financial
statements, as the statement is consistent with existing company policy.

6. During the quarter and on October 1, 1996, the company acquired three
companies, with annual sales totaling approximately $22 million, for a
total consideration of approximately $19 million. The acquisitions have
been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
consolidated financial statements include the operating results of each
business from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations
have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions were not
significant.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

There were no material changes in financial position, liquidity or capital
resources between June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1996. The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities was 1.9 as of September 30, 1996 and 2.0 as of
June 30, 1996. The debt to capital ratio (i.e., total debt divided by the sum
of total debt and shareholders' equity) was 22 percent as of September 30,
1996, and 23 percent as of June 30, 1996.

Capital expenditures are estimated to be $70-$80 million in fiscal year 1997.
Expenditures will be used primarily to construct a new corporate headquarters
and a manufacturing facility in China, to acquire additional client-server
information systems and to upgrade machinery and equipment. Capital
expenditures are being financed with cash from operations and borrowings under
existing revolving credit agreements with banks.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES AND EARNINGS
- ------------------
During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, consolidated sales were $275
million, up 8 percent from $255 million in the same quarter last year. Net
income was $15.2 million, or $0.57 per share, as compared with net income of
$13.6 million, or $0.51 per share in the same quarter last year.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, sales increased in all markets with
the exception of the Europe Metalworking market. The Industrial Supply market
accounted for the largest sales gain as a result of increased mail order sales
through J&L Industrial Supply as well as additional Full Service Supply
programs. Earnings benefited from productivity improvements related to the
Focused Factory initiative and modest price increases. This was offset by a
less favorable sales mix and slightly lower production levels.

The following table presents the Company's sales by market and geographic area
(in thousands):

-------- -------- ---
Net sales $275,203 $254,903 8%
======== ======== ===

METALWORKING MARKETS
- --------------------
During the September 1996 quarter, sales in the North America Metalworking
market increased 4 percent from the previous year. Direct sales of domestic
metalcutting inserts and toolholding devices increased 2 percent due to
slightly improved economic conditions in the United States and due to
additional emphasis of milling and drilling products. Sales of metalworking
products increased 14 percent in Canada.

Sales in the Europe Metalworking market decreased 7 percent. Demand for
metalworking products continues to be slow due to weak economic conditions in
Europe, primarily in Germany. Sales in the United Kingdom and France posted
modest gains. Excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign currency
translation effects, sales in the Europe Metalworking market decreased 3
percent.

In the Asia-Pacific Metalworking market, sales rose 6 percent, excluding the
consolidation of a majority-owned subsidiary in China, as sales were impacted
by soft economic conditions in the Asian region and Korea. Excluding
unfavorable foreign currency translation effects, sales in the Asia-Pacific
Metalworking market increased 11 percent.

INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY MARKET
- ------------------------
During the September 1996 quarter, sales in the Industrial Supply market
increased 30 percent as a result of increased sales through mail order and
Full Service Supply programs. The increase in sales was driven by the ongoing
geographic expansion program at J&L Industrial Supply, new and existing Full
Service Supply programs with large customers and innovative marketing
programs. During the September quarter, J&L opened a new location in Dallas,
Texas, and three additional J&L locations are scheduled to open by the end of
calendar 1996.

MINING AND CONSTRUCTION MARKET
- ------------------------------
During the September 1996 quarter, sales in the Mining and Construction market
increased 6 percent from the previous year as a result of increased domestic
demand for mining and highway construction tools. International sales of
highway construction tools decreased as a result of weak economic conditions
in Europe.

GROSS PROFIT MARGIN
- -------------------
As a percentage of sales, gross profit margin for the September 1996 quarter
was 41.7 percent as compared with 41.8 percent in the prior year. The gross
profit margin benefited from productivity improvements related to the Focused
Factory initiative and modest price increases. These benefits were offset by
a less favorable sales mix and slightly lower production levels.

OPERATING EXPENSES
- ------------------
For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, operating expenses as a percentage
of sales were 31.6 percent compared to 31.4 percent last year. Operating
expenses increased 9 percent primarily because of costs related to
implementation of new SAP client-server information systems, costs necessary
to support the higher sales levels, costs necessary to support Full Service
Supply programs, marketing and branch expansion at J&L, and higher costs
related to acquisitions.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------
The effective tax rate for the September 1996 quarter was 39.2 percent
compared to an effective tax rate of 40.3 percent in the prior year. The
reduction in the effective tax rate resulted from certain tax benefits derived
from international operations.

ACQUISITIONS
- ------------
During the quarter and on October 1, 1996, the company acquired three
companies, with annual sales totaling approximately $22 million, for a total
consideration of approximately $19 million. The acquisitions have been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The consolidated
financial statements will include the operating results of each business from
the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been
presented because the effects of these acquisitions were not significant.

OUTLOOK
- -------
In looking to the second quarter ending December 31, 1996, management expects
consolidated sales to increase over the second quarter of a year ago. Sales
in the North America Metalworking market should benefit from slowly improving
economic condition in the United States. Sales in the Europe Metalworking
market, which are principally driven by the German market, are not expected to
improve in the next quarter. Sales demand in the Asia-Pacific Metalworking
market is expected to slow.

Sales in the Industrial Supply market should continue to grow and benefit from
expansion of locations, increased catalog sales and new Full Service Supply
programs. Sales in the Mining and Construction market should increase from
domestic demand.

This Form 10-Q, including the prior two paragraphs, contains "forward-looking
statements" as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Actual results can differ from those in the forward-looking statements to the
extent that the anticipated economic conditions in the United States and
Europe are not sustained.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------
The information set forth in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements, contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, is incorporated by

It is management's opinion, based on its evaluation and discussions with
outside counsel, that the Company has viable defenses to these cases and that,

materially adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or
cash flows of the Company.
