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
our 2001 Annual Report. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June
30, 2001 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in our 2001
Annual Report. These interim statements are unaudited; however, we believe
all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation were made. The results
for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal
year. Unless otherwise specified, any reference to a "year" is to a fiscal
year ended June 30. We reclassified certain amounts in the prior years'
condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with the current
year presentation.

2. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. We use the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method for determining the cost of a significant portion
of our U.S. inventories. We determine cost for the remainder of our
inventories under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost methods.
We used the LIFO method of valuing inventories for approximately 51 percent
of total inventories at December 31, 2001. 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 our projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.
Therefore, the interim financial results are subject to any final year-end
LIFO inventory adjustments.

Inventories as of the balance sheet dates consisted of the following (in
thousands):

December 31, June 30,
2001 2001
---- ----
Finished goods $ 287,192 $ 284,801
Work in process and powder blends 93,770 94,231

------------ ------------
Inventories at current cost 414,991 411,162
Less LIFO valuation (47,267) (37,941)
------------ ------------
Total inventories $ 367,724 $ 373,221
============ ============

3. We are involved in various environmental cleanup and remediation activities
at several of our manufacturing facilities. In addition, we are currently
named as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at several Superfund sites
in the United States. In December 1999, we recorded a remediation reserve
of $3.0 million with respect to our involvement in these matters, which was
recorded as a component of operating expense. This represents our best
estimate of the undiscounted future obligation based on our evaluations and
discussions with outside counsel and independent consultants, and the
current facts and circumstances related to these matters. We recorded this
liability because certain events occurred, including the identification of
other PRPs, an assessment of potential remediation solutions and direction
from the government for the remedial action plan that clarified our level
of involvement in these matters and our relationship to other PRPs. This
led us to conclude that it was probable a liability had been incurred.
Through December 31, 2001, we incurred costs of $0.4 million, which were
charged against this accrual.

In addition to the amount currently reserved, we may be subject to loss
contingencies related to these matters estimated to be up to an additional
$3.0 million. We believe that such undiscounted unreserved losses are
reasonably possible but are not currently considered to be probable of
occurrence. The reserved and unreserved liabilities for all environmental
concerns could change substantially in the near term due to factors such as
the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements,
technological changes, discovery of new information, the financial strength
of other PRPs, the identification of new PRPs and the involvement of and
direction taken by government agencies on these matters.

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We maintain a Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) Department,
as well as an EH&S Policy Committee, to ensure compliance with
environmental regulations and to monitor and oversee remediation
activities. In addition, we have established an EH&S administrator at all
our global manufacturing facilities. Our 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 basis, we
establish or adjust financial provisions and reserves for environmental
contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(SFAS) No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies."

4. For purposes of determining the number of dilutive shares outstanding,
weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share
calculations were increased due solely to the dilutive effect of
unexercised stock options for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and
for the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. For the three months
ended December 31, 2001, the effect of unexercised stock options is
antidilutive and accordingly is excluded from the diluted loss per share
calculation. Unexercised stock options to purchase our capital stock of 1.2
million and 1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively, and 1.1 million and 1.8 million shares for the six
months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, are not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option price was
greater than the average market price.

5. Comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended December 31,
2001 and 2000 is as follows (in thousands):

KENNAMETAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. On July 1, 2000, we adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," resulting in the recording of current
assets of $1.6 million, long-term assets of $1.4 million, current
liabilities of $1.3 million, long-term liabilities of $0.7 million, a
decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.6 million, net of
tax, and a loss from the cumulative effect from the change in accounting
principle of $0.6 million, net of tax. We recognized expense of $0.2
million and $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively, and expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the
six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, as a component
of other expense (income), net related to hedge ineffectiveness. Based upon
foreign exchange and interest rates at December 31, 2001, we expect to
recognize into earnings in the next 12 months net current liabilities of
$5.4 million related to outstanding derivative instruments and net gains of
$0.1 million, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, related to
expired derivative instruments.

7. Effective July 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which establishes new accounting and reporting
requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets, including new
measurement techniques for evaluating the recoverability of such assets.
Under SFAS No. 142, all goodwill amortization ceased effective July 1,
2001. Material amounts of recorded goodwill attributable to each of our
reporting units, including those affected by the restructuring program
announced in November 2001 (see Note 8), were tested for impairment by
comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. As
a result of the adoption of this rule, we expect to record a non-cash
charge of $230 million to $260 million, specific to the electronics (AMSG
segment) and the industrial product group (MSSG segment) businesses, which
were acquired in 1998 as part of Greenfield Industries. The fair values of
these reporting units were determined using the combination of a discounted
cash flow analysis and market multiples based upon historical and projected
financial information. The final phase of testing, which will narrow this
range to an actual charge, is expected to be completed during the March
2002 quarter. The initial phase of the impairment tests were required to be
performed within six months of adoption of SFAS No. 142, or December 31,
2001, and are required at least annually thereafter. On an ongoing basis
(absent any impairment indicators), we expect to perform our impairment
tests during the June quarter, in connection with our annual budgeting
process.

Under SFAS No. 142, the impairment adjustment recognized at adoption of
this standard will be reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle, effective July 1, 2001. Impairment adjustments
recognized after adoption, if any, are required to be recognized as a
component of operating expense.

The carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each segment, before the
anticipated non-cash charge from the adoption of SFAS No. 142, at December
31, 2001 and June 30, 2001 is as follows (in thousands):

In connection with adopting SFAS No. 142, we also reassessed the useful
lives and the classification of our identifiable intangible assets and
determined that they continue to be appropriate. The remaining lives of
these assets primarily range from one to four years. The components of our
amortized intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

8. In November 2001, we announced a restructuring program whereby we expect to
recognize special charges of $15 million to $20 million, including period
costs of $5 million to $6 million, for the closure of three manufacturing
locations and the relocation of production of a certain product line from
another plant, and associated workforce reductions. This was done in
response to continued steep declines in the AMSG electronics and MSSG
industrial product markets. We expect to realize ongoing annual benefits of
$7 million to $9 million by the end of fiscal 2002. These actions are
expected to improve our competitiveness and we expect to be substantially
completed by the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Subsequently, we implemented
the measures associated with the closing and consolidation of the
electronics facility in Chicago, IL, and industrial product group's Pine
Bluff, AR and Monticello, IN locations. As a result, we recorded
restructuring charges of $11.7 million for exit costs associated with these
actions, including severance for substantially all 298 employees at these
facilities. Additionally, as part of the closure of the electronics plant,
we recorded a non-cash charge of $0.8 million, net of salvage value,
associated with the abandonment and scrapping of inventory.

This charge was recorded as a component of cost of goods sold. The total
charge of $12.5 million includes non-cash items of $6.9 million.
Additionally, we incurred cash expenditures of $0.5 million through
December 31, 2001, resulting in an accrual of $5.1 million at December 31,
2001. We incurred period costs associated with these actions of $0.3
million in the December 2001 quarter, which were expensed as incurred as a
component of cost of sales.

In 2001, we began to implement a business improvement plan in the J&L
Industrial Supply (J&L) and Full Service Supply (FSS) segments. We expect
to substantially complete this plan in the March 2002 quarter. In the J&L
segment for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, we recorded
restructuring and asset impairment charges of $5.5 million and $7.1
million, respectively. The charge for the December 2001 quarter is
comprised of $5.3 million associated with the write-down of a portion of
the book value of a business system and $0.2 million for severance for 15
individuals. For the six months ended December 31, 2001, the charges for
J&L are comprised of the costs associated with the business system
write-down, $1.3 million for severance for 35 individuals, $0.3 million for
facility closures and $0.2 million for the closure of the German
operations. Additionally, as part of the closure of the German operations,
we recorded a non-cash charge of $0.4 million, net of salvage value, in the
December 2001 quarter associated with the abandonment and liquidation of
inventory in these operations. This charge was recorded as a component of
cost of goods sold.

In anticipation of migrating to a new business system, J&L capitalized
costs associated with the development of functionality specifically
designed for the J&L business. In the December 2001 quarter, after further
evaluation of the development of the system, we determined it was no longer
feasible that J&L would use this portion of the business system because the
vendor ceased supporting the system. Therefore, we recorded a non-cash
charge of $5.3 million, representing the portion of costs capitalized in
connection with system enhancements specifically for the J&L business.

In the FSS segment for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, we
recorded restructuring charges of $0.1 million for severance related to
seven individuals. Additionally in our core business in 2001, we took
actions to reduce our salaried work force in response to the weakened U.S.
manufacturing sector. This core-business resize program is completed.

The costs accrued for all restructuring activities were based on estimates
using the latest information available at the time that the accrual was
established. We continue to review our business strategies and pursue other
cost-reduction activities in all business segments, some of which could
result in future charges. Charges incurred for the six months ended
December 31, 2001 and the restructuring accrual at December 31, 2001 are as

10. In August 2001, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" was issued. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived
assets to be disposed of and supersedes SFAS No. 121. This statement
retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and
measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and
measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The provisions
of this standard must be applied for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001. We are currently evaluating the effects of SFAS No. 144 and are
preparing a plan for implementation.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SALES
- -----

Sales for the December 2001 quarter were $380.3 million, a decline of 14 percent
from $443.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Sales in North America contributed
to the majority of the decline as these industrial markets continued to weaken
with the exception of mining and construction. European sales declined slightly
for the first time in three years, in line with general weakness across this
region.

Sales for the six months ended December 31, 2001 were $787.0 million compared to
$897.2 million in the same period a year ago, a decline of 12 percent. Sales
declined 11 percent excluding unfavorable foreign currency effects of one
percent, the effect of a divestiture of one percent, partially offset by more
workdays in the six months ended December 31, 2001. Sales in North America
contributed to the majority of this decline due to weak market conditions with
the exception of mining and construction, and energy. In local currency,
European sales were flat with the prior year.

GROSS PROFIT MARGIN
- -------------------

The gross profit margin for the December 2001 quarter was 30.9 percent, a 320
basis point decline, excluding special charges, compared with 34.1 percent in
the year-ago quarter. The margin decline was due principally to under absorption
of fixed manufacturing costs due to lower volumes in our businesses.
Manufacturing cost reductions, lean efficiencies and a slight increase in
pricing offset the effect of modestly higher raw material costs and unfavorable
product and customer mix. The gross profit margin for the 2001 quarter reflects
a charge of $1.2 million associated with write-down of inventory that was
abandoned and scrapped in connection with facility closures.

Consolidated gross profit margin was 31.3 percent for the six months ended
December 31, 2001, compared with 33.9 percent in same period a year ago. Gross
profit margin was affected by the factors mentioned above, including the charge
for the inventory write-down.

OPERATING EXPENSE
- -----------------

Operating expense for the December 2001 quarter was $93.1 million, a reduction
of 11 percent compared to the year-ago quarter, excluding $0.3 million of costs
in the 2000 quarter related primarily to the tender offer to acquire the
minority shares of JLK Direct Distribution Inc. The elimination of waste and
expense through lean initiatives and other cost-cutting measures nearly kept
pace with the sales decline. Excluding foreign exchange, operating expense
declined 12 percent.

For the six months ended December 31, 2001, operating expense was $193.0
million, a decline of ten percent, compared to the same period a year ago,
excluding costs of $2.0 million in the 2000 quarter related primarily to the JLK
tender offer costs. Excluding foreign exchange, operating expense declined nine
percent and was affected by the factors mentioned above.

RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGE
- -----------------------------------------

In November 2001, we announced a restructuring program whereby we expect to
recognize special charges of $15 million to $20 million, including period costs
of $5 million to $6 million, for the closure of three manufacturing locations
and the relocation of production of a certain product line from another plant,
and associated workforce reductions. This was done in response to continued
steep declines in the AMSG electronics and MSSG industrial product markets. We
expect to realize ongoing annual benefits of $7 million to $9 million by the end
of fiscal 2002. These actions are expected to improve our competitiveness and we
expect to be substantially completed by the third quarter of fiscal 2002.
Subsequently, we implemented the measures associated with the closing and
consolidation of the electronics facility in Chicago, IL, and industrial product
group's Pine Bluff, AR and Monticello, IN locations. As a result, we recorded
restructuring charges of $11.7 million for exit costs associated with these
actions, including severance for substantially all 298 employees at these
facilities. Additionally, as part of the

closure of the electronics plant, we recorded a non-cash charge of $0.8 million,
net of salvage value, associated with the abandonment and scrapping of
inventory. This charge was recorded as a component of cost of goods sold. The
total charge of $12.5 million includes non-cash items of $6.9 million.
Additionally, we incurred cash expenditures of $0.5 million through December 31,
2001, resulting in an accrual of $5.1 million at December 31, 2001. We incurred
period costs associated with these actions of $0.3 million in the December 2001
quarter, which were expensed as incurred as a component of cost of sales.

In 2001, we began to implement a business improvement plan in the J&L Industrial
Supply (J&L) and Full Service Supply (FSS) segments. We expect to substantially
complete this plan in the March 2002 quarter. In the J&L segment for the three
and six months ended December 31, 2001, we recorded restructuring and asset
impairment charges of $5.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The charge
for the December 2001 quarter is comprised of $5.3 million associated with the
write-down of a portion of the book value of a business system and $0.2 million
for severance for 15 individuals. For the six months ended December 31, 2001,
the charges for J&L are comprised of the costs associated with the business
system write-down, $1.3 million for severance for 35 individuals, $0.3 million
for facility closures and $0.2 million for the closure of the German operations.
Additionally, as part of the closure of the German operations, we recorded a
non-cash charge of $0.4 million, net of salvage value, in the December 2001
quarter associated with the abandonment and liquidation of inventory in these
operations. This charge was recorded as a component of cost of goods sold.

In anticipation of migrating to a new business system, J&L capitalized costs
associated with the development of functionality specifically designed for the
J&L business. In the December 2001 quarter, after further evaluation of the

representing the portion of costs capitalized in connection with system
enhancements specifically for the J&L business.

In the FSS segment for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, we
recorded restructuring charges of $0.1 million for severance related to seven
individuals. Additionally in our core businesses in 2001, we took actions to
reduce our salaried work force in response to the weakened U.S. manufacturing
sector. This core-business resize program is completed.

The costs accrued for all restructuring activities were based on estimates using
the latest information available at the time that the accrual was established.
We continue to review our business strategies and pursue other cost-reduction
activities in all business segments, some of which could result in future
charges. Charges incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2001 and the

AMORTIZATION EXPENSE
- --------------------

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" on July 1, 2001. As a result of the
non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142, we ceased amortizing goodwill
resulting in amortization expense of $0.7 million for the quarter ended December
31, 2001, compared to $6.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Similarly, for the
six months ended December 31, 2001, amortization expense was $1.4 million
compared to $12.5 million in the year-ago period.

INTEREST EXPENSE
- ----------------

Interest expense for the December 2001 quarter declined 38 percent to $8.3
million, compared to the same quarter last year, due to ongoing reduction in
debt and lower average borrowing rates. Our average U.S. borrowing rate of 5.02
percent was 246 basis points below year ago levels due to Federal Reserve rate
cuts and improved pricing under our credit facility due to improved credit
ratios. For the six months ended December 31, 2001, interest expense declined 34
percent to $17.7 million for the same reasons. Our average U.S. borrowing rate
of 5.28 percent was 218 basis points lower than year-ago levels.

OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME), NET
- ---------------------------

Other expense for the December 31, 2001 and 2000 quarters of $0.1 million and
$2.3 million, respectively, included fees of $0.6 million and $1.6 million,
respectively, incurred in connection with the accounts receivable securitization
program. The decline in these fees is due primarily to lower interest rates in
the commercial paper market. The remainder of the decline in other expense, net
was primarily due to higher realized gains on foreign exchange transactions and
lower royalty expense due to reduced business levels.

For the six months ended December 31, 2001, other income, net was $0.2 million
compared to other expense, net of $4.9 million in the year-ago period. Fees
associated with the accounts receivable securitization program declined $1.7
million to $1.5 million in 2002 due to the factor mentioned above. The remainder
of the decline was due to higher foreign exchange gains of $1.3 million, a gain
of $0.8 million from the sale of miscellaneous underutilized assets and lower
royalty expense.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 was
32.0 percent compared to an effective tax rate of 38.8 percent for the quarter,
and 39.5 percent for the six month period ended December 31, 2000. The pro forma
effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000 would
have been 32.5 percent and 33.9 percent, respectively, reflecting the
non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142. The remainder of the decline
primarily reflects a reduction of the statutory German tax rate effective July
1, 2001.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
- ------------------------------

On July 1, 2000, we adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," resulting in the recording of a loss from the
cumulative effect from the change in accounting principle of $0.6 million, net
of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share. The loss primarily relates to the write-down
of previously paid option premiums.

NET INCOME (LOSS)
- -----------------

Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 was $2.5 million, or $0.08 per
diluted share, compared to net income of $13.5 million, or $0.44 per diluted
share, in the same quarter last year. Pro forma earnings for the December 2000
quarter were $18.5 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, reflecting the
non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142. Excluding special charges in each
quarter, net income was $10.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the
December 2001 quarter, compared to pro forma net income of $19.3 million, or
$0.63 per diluted share, in the December 2000 quarter. The decline in earnings
is attributable to lower sales levels and margins, partially offset by lower
operating expense and interest costs, and a decline in our effective tax rate.

Special charges in the December 2001 quarter of $18.3 million, or $0.40 per
diluted share, relate to business improvement plans currently being executed.
Special charges in the December 2000 quarter of $1.1 million, or $0.03 per
diluted share, relate to the J&L business improvement plan and costs associated
with the tender offer to acquire the outstanding shares of JLK.

Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2001 was $10.0 million, or
$0.32 per diluted share, compared to net income of $22.9 million, or $0.75 per
diluted share, in the same period last year. Pro forma earnings for the six
months ended December 31, 2000 were $32.1 million, or $1.05 per diluted share,
reflecting the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142. Excluding special
charges in each period, net income was $23.5 million, or $0.75 per diluted
share, in the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to pro forma net
income of $35.2 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, in the six months ended
December 31, 2000. The decline in earnings is attributable to the factors
mentioned above.

Special charges in the six months ended December 31, 2001 of $19.9 million, or
$0.43 per diluted share, relate to business improvement plans currently being
executed. Special charges in the six months ended December 31, 2000 of $4.3
million, or $0.08 per diluted share, related to the J&L and FSS business
improvement plans and costs associated with the tender offer to acquire the
outstanding shares of JLK, coupled with a charge of $0.6 million, net of tax, or
$0.02 per diluted share, related to the adoption of SFAS No. 133.

eight percent, all in local currency. In North America, the light and heavy
engineering end markets suffered the steepest declines, while automotive
stabilized at lower levels. European growth softened as the manufacturing
recession expanded. Demand in automotive declined for the first time in this
cycle, as well as in light engineering.

Operating income was $23.7 million compared to $34.2 million last year,
excluding restructuring charges of $6.2 million in 2002 and goodwill
amortization in 2001. The decline in operating income is primarily due to lower
sales, offset by operating expense reductions of $4.6 million. Restructuring
charges primarily relate to the closure of two manufacturing plants and related
severance costs for 184 individuals.

For the six months ended December 31, 2001, MSSG sales declined 10 percent
compared to the same period last year, excluding unfavorable foreign exchange
effects, due predominately to weak market conditions in North America. Most
major end markets weakened year-over-year. In North America, sales were down 16
percent, while Europe and Asia were up two and eight percent, respectively, all
in local currency.

Operating income was $48.3 million compared to $65.3 million last year,
excluding restructuring charges of $6.2 million in 2002 and goodwill
amortization in 2001. Unfavorable foreign exchange effects reduced operating
income by $2.4 million. The remainder of the decline in operating income is due
to the factors mentioned above.

AMSG sales declined 15 percent, compared to the December 2000 quarter, as weak
demand in the electronics business due to a depressed market accounted for 11
percent of this decline. Higher demand for mining and construction products
contributed two percent to the growth in sales while sales in energy and
engineered products each contributed three percent to the overall sales decline
due to reduced exploration activities and broad-based market contraction.

Operating income was $5.3 million compared to $11.0 million last year, excluding
restructuring costs in 2002 and goodwill amortization in 2001. The decline is
due to lower gross profit from under-utilization of capacity caused by volume
declines, primarily in electronics, partially offset by $1.1 million of
operating expense reductions. Restructuring costs in 2002 of $6.0 million relate
to the reorganization of the North American electronics business, including the
closure of a plant in Chicago and related severance for 114 individuals.

Compared to the same period last year, AMSG sales declined nine percent in the
six months ended December 31, 2001, excluding foreign exchange effects. The
decline is predominately attributable to weak market conditions in the
electronics business. Operating income was $15.7 million compared to $24.4
million last year, excluding restructuring costs in 2002 and goodwill
amortization in 2001. Unfavorable foreign currency effects reduced operating
income by $0.8 million. The remainder of the decline is due to the factors
mentioned above.

J&L sales declined 19 percent compared to last year excluding the effects of the
ATS divestiture. The decline in sales is primarily attributed to the North
American automotive downturn and further weakening in the broader industrial
market. Operating income was $2.2 million in the December 2001 quarter, compared
to $4.6 million in the prior year, excluding special charges in each period and
goodwill amortization in 2001. Operating income declined primarily due to the
reduction in sales despite the lower cost structure as a result of the business
improvement plan. J&L operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2001
and 2000 was reduced by $5.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to
restructuring and asset impairment charges. Additionally, operating income for
the December 31, 2000 quarter includes $0.3 million of costs primarily related
to the tender offer to acquire the outstanding shares of JLK.

For the six months ended December 31, 2001, J&L sales declined 19 percent
compared to last year, excluding the effects of the ATS divestiture, due to the
factors noted above. Operating income was $4.5 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2001, compared to $7.2 million in the prior year, excluding special
charges in each period and goodwill amortization in 2001. Operating income
declined due to the factors noted above. J&L operating income for the six months
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was reduced by $7.5 million and $2.2 million,
respectively, related to restructuring and asset impairment charges.
Additionally, operating income for the six months ended December 31, 2000
includes $2.0 million of costs primarily related to the tender offer to acquire
the outstanding shares of JLK.

FSS sales for the December 2001 quarter declined 13 percent compared to the
year-ago quarter due to the general weakness in the North American industrial
market. Operating income of $0.3 million, declined $1.5 million compared to the
December 2000 quarter, excluding a restructuring charge of $0.1 million in the
December 2001 quarter for severance. The decline is due to lower sales levels
coupled with overall lower gross margins due to higher percentage of sales to
the automotive sector.

Compared to the same period last year, FSS sales declined five percent for the
six months ended December 31, 2001. Operating income of $1.4 million, declined
$2.5 million compared to the same period last year, excluding a restructuring
charge of $0.2 million in 2001 related to severance. These declines are due to
the same factors as mentioned above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Our cash flow from operations is the primary source of financing for capital
expenditures and internal growth. The most significant risks associated with our
ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations is the overall level of
demand for our products. However, we believe we can adequately control costs and
manage our working capital to meet our cash flow needs, despite low levels of
demand.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the six months ended December 31, 2001, we generated $65.1 million in
cash flow from operations, a decline of $22.1 million compared to the year-ago.
The decline resulted primarily from lower earnings in 2002 of $12.9 million and
lower working capital improvements of $7.8 million. The lower working capital
improvements include a reduction in the level of accounts receivable
securitized, resulting in the repayment of $12.2 million to the financial
institution counterparty, due to overall lower levels of accounts receivable
resulting from lower sales levels. Periodically, this can occur when we do not
generate sufficient new, qualifying receivables to replenish the pool as a
result of an overall reduction in the level or quality, or change in the
composition of accounts receivable. We believe our cash flow from operations and
borrowing capacity provide sufficient alternative sources of liquidity in the
event of a reduction in the level of securitized accounts receivable.

Net cash used for investing activities was $22.9 million, a decline of $42.0
million compared to the six months ended December 31, 2000. The decline is
primarily due to a reduction in the purchase of minority interests of
consolidated subsidiaries of $42.6 million. We lowered our projection of capital
expenditures for 2002 to be in the range of $40 to $50 million as a result of
further weakening of the U.S. economy. We believe this level of capital spending
is sufficient to maintain competitiveness and improve productivity.

Net cash used for financing activities was $44.5 million, an increase of $16.6
million compared to the six months ended December 31, 2000. This increase
primarily is due to higher debt repayments in 2002 of $25.7 million, offset by
higher proceeds from employee stock plans of $5.3 million and lower treasury
stock purchases of $4.1 million in 2002.

In September 2001, we continued our program to repurchase, from time to time,
our outstanding capital stock for investment or other general corporate
purposes. We purchased 375,000 shares of our capital stock at a total cost of
$12.4 million. As a result of these repurchases, we have completed our
repurchase program announced January 31, 1997 of 1.6 million shares.
Additionally, we brought the total purchased under the authority of the
repurchase program announced in October 2000 to approximately 0.2 million
shares. We are permitted to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares under the
October 2000 program. The repurchases were financed principally by cash from
operations and short-term borrowings. Repurchases may be made from time to time
in the open market, in negotiated or other permissible transactions.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Total assets were $1,766.1 million at December 31, 2001, a decline of three
percent compared to June 30, 2001. Net working capital, excluding the revolving
credit loan of $388.6 million, was $381.4 million, down one percent from $386.7
million at June 30, 2001. Primary working capital as a percentage of sales
(PWC%) at December 31, 2001 was 27.7 percent, compared to 27.3 percent at June
30, 2001 and 27.8 percent at December 31, 2000. The decline in net working
capital is primarily due to lower sales levels and our focus on controlling
growth in these accounts. The increase in PWC% from June 30, 2001 is due to
lower sales levels. Inventory turnover increased to 3.0 at December 31, 2001,
compared to 2.9 at June 30, 2001 and 2.8 at December 31, 2000, due to
initiatives aimed at increasing inventory turns. The total debt-to-total capital
ratio declined to 41.8 percent at December 31, 2001 from 42.9 percent at June
30, 2001 and 46.7 percent at December 31, 2000 primarily due to continued focus
on debt reduction, despite lower earnings levels. The revolving credit loan
under the Bank Credit Facility is due in August 2002 and is classified as a
current liability. We currently intend on refinancing this loan on or before the
maturity date.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
- -----------------------

In August 2001, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" was issued. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to
be disposed of and supersedes SFAS No. 121. This statement retains the
fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and measurement of the
impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and measurement of
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The provisions of this standard
must be applied for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We are
currently evaluating the effects of SFAS No. 144 and are preparing a plan for
implementation.

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

OUTLOOK
- -------

Sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 are expected to decline 10 to 15
percent, with diluted earnings per share between $0.50 and $0.55, excluding
special charges. In addition, based upon current assessments, we are forecasting
diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2002 to range from $1.90 to $2.10,
excluding special charges. Despite the reduction in earnings expectations, cash
flow for the year should still attain the ongoing long-term range of $100
million to $150 million.
