                                AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

                  The consolidated balance sheet as of May 27, 2001, the
         consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen weeks and
         thirty-nine weeks ended May 27, 2001 and May 28, 2000 and the
         consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks then
         ended, respectively, have been prepared by the Company without audit.
         In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal
         recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
         position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods
         presented have been made.

                  The balance sheet at August 27, 2000 is derived from the
         audited balance sheet as of that date. Certain information and footnote
         disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
         condensed or omitted. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial
         statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
         and notes thereto included in the Company's 2000 annual report to
         shareholders. The results of operations for interim periods are not
         necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

2.       BUSINESS CONSOLIDATION AND RELOCATION-
         PRIOR YEAR FIRST NINE MONTHS FINANCIAL IMPACT:

                  On September 2, 1999, the Company announced that it was
         closing its Long Lake, Minnesota facility and transferring all of the
         production to its Taurus and Bowman subsidiaries. As a result of this
         consolidation, the Company incurred severance costs in the first
         quarter of 2000 of $248,507 for employees terminated or given notice in
         that period. WSI was also able to sell excess production equipment in
         the first half of 2000 which contributed a gain on sales of $394,682.
         Concurrent with the consolidation decision, the Company also decided to
         terminate its defined benefit pension plan that resulted in a gain of
         $353,375.

3.       DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT:

                  Pursuant to the Bowman transaction, the Company amended its
         credit and security agreement with its bank. The amended agreement
         calls for a term loan in the principal amount of $4,400,000 and a
         revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $3,000,000. Interest
         is accrued at prime plus .75% for the term loan and prime plus .50% for
         the revolving credit facility payable monthly. Each facility has a
         LIBOR rate option. The term loan is payable in equal monthly
         installments of $52,381 of principal commencing August 31, 1999 and
         matures March 31, 2002. At May 27, 2001, the outstanding balance on the
         term loan was $1,300,000 and $24,000 on the revolving facility. The
         fair value of the term debt is estimated to be its carrying value since
         the debt has a variable interest rate.

                  During fiscal 1999, the Company obtained a mortgage with the
         same bank that it has its term debt and line of credit facility. The
         agreement requires monthly principal payments of $13,889, plus interest
         at prime plus 1.0% and has a balance at May 27, 2001 of $2,208,000.
         Subsequent to the end of the third quarter the mortgage was paid off.
         See Footnote 5 below.

                  The Company also entered into Subordinated Promissory Notes
         with the former owners of Taurus and Bowman in the amounts of
         $1,663,000 and $1,875,000, respectively. In connection with the Bowman
         acquisition, the seller earned $280,600 on the second of two
         contingencies during the



                                       6
   7


         second quarter of fiscal 2001. This amount is included in the
         $1,875,000 balance. The notes bear interest at 7.75% with interest
         payable quarterly. Principal payments are due in three annual equal
         installments commencing on February 15, 2002 for the Taurus related
         note and August 6, 2002 for the Bowman related note.

4.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

                  In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 Earnings per
         Share. Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully
         diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earning per share.
         Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes
         any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
         Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported
         fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for
         all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to
         conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share for fiscal 2000:

5.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

                  On June 12, 2001, the Company sold its vacant Long Lake,
         Minnesota facility. The purchase price was $2.4 million with the net
         proceeds used to pay off the mortgage on the facility. The sale is
         estimated to generate a gain of approximately $137,000 in the Company's
         fourth quarter.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                                       and

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations:

                  Net sales of $5,140,000 for the quarter ending May 27, 2001
         decreased 43% or $3,945,000 from the same period of the prior year. As
         discussed in the prior quarter's 10-Q a major customer made the
         decision to consign raw materials for their manufacturing program to
         the Company instead of WSI purchasing the material and subsequently
         reselling the material to the customer after manufacturing. This move
         to consigned inventory in combination with a softening of virtually all
         markets led to the lower sales level. Year to date sales of $17,086,000
         were $7,005,000 or 29% less than the prior year due to the reasons
         described above.

                  Gross margin decreased to 19% as compared to 21% in the prior
         year quarter. The decrease is attributable to volume inefficiencies due
         to the lower level of sales. However, year-to-date gross margin
         improved to 21% versus 17% in the prior year as the prior year was
         affected by the consolidation efforts of closing and relocating the
         Long Lake, Minnesota facility operation.

                  Selling and administrative expense of $1,112,000 was $47,000
         lower than the prior year quarter due to several offsetting items, but
         primarily to lower incentive compensation accrued. Year to date selling
         and administration expense of $3,419,000 was $64,000 higher in fiscal
         2001 than fiscal 2000.

                  Interest and other expense decreased $33,000 for the quarter
         and $88,000 year to date due to the lower levels of long-term debt in
         Fiscal 2001 versus Fiscal 2000.

                  During Fiscal 2000, WSI sold excess manufacturing equipment
         with a net book value of $351,000 for $746,000, generating a gain of
         $395,000.

                  The Company sold its Long Lake facility subsequent to the end
         of the quarter (see Footnote 5). During the third quarter of fiscal
         2001, the Company incurred approximately $150,000 in expense including
         interest related to the facility. For the first nine months of 2001,
         the expense was approximately $500,000.

                  In the thirty-nine week period ended May 27, 2001, the Company
         recorded a tax provision of $3,000 to cover mandatory state income
         taxes and federal alternative minimum taxes. The Company has not
         recorded the benefit of net operating losses and other net deductible
         temporary differences in the consolidated statement of operations due
         to the fact that the Company has not been able to establish that it is
         more likely than not that the tax benefit will be realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

                  On May 27, 2001 working capital was $208,000 compared to
         $1,721,000 at August 27, 2000, a decrease of $1,513,000. The ratio of
         current assets to current liabilities at May 27, 2001 and August 27,
         2000 was 1.05 to 1.0 and 1.35 to 1.0, respectively. The working capital
         decrease is attributable to a combination of lower accounts receivable
         and inventory due to the consigned inventory situation described
         previously, the overall lower level of sales and the inclusion of
         $550,000 into current maturities of long term debt related to the
         Taurus Subordinated Promissory Note Payable.

                  As described previously in the Notes to Consolidated
         Statements, the Company amended its credit and security agreement with
         its bank on August 6, 1999. Currently, the Company owes $1,300,000 on
         its term loan facility and $24,000 on its revolving facility. The
         revolving facility had



                                       8
   9


         approximately $1,300,000 of availability at May 27, 2001. The term loan
         carries an interest rate at prime plus .75%. The revolver rate is at
         prime plus .50%.

                  The Company also entered into a mortgage with the same bank on
         August 6, 1999 as outlined in the Notes to Consolidated Statements. As
         of May 27, 2001, the Company owed $2,208,000 with interest paid at
         prime plus 1.0%. As previously discussed, the mortgage was paid in full
         subsequent to the end of the quarter.

                  As also described in the Notes, the Company entered into a
         subordinated promissory note with the former owner of Taurus for
         approximately $1,663,000. Interest is accrued at a rate of 7.75% paid
         quarterly. Principal payments are due in three equal annual
         installments commencing on February 15, 2002. The Company also has a
         subordinated promissory note of $1,875,000 with the former owner of
         Bowman. Interest is accrued at 7.75% payable quarterly with principal
         payments due in equal annual installments commencing August 6, 2002.

                  Total capitalized lease debt of $2,420,000 on May 27, 2001 was
         $56,000 lower than on August 27, 2000. The decrease resulted from a new
         capital lease of $323,000 offset by payments on the existing leases.

                  It is management's belief that its internally generated funds
         combined with the line of credit will be sufficient to enable the
         Company to meet its financial requirements during the next 12 months.

         an adverse effect on the demand for Company services. The foregoing
         list should not be construed as exhaustive and the Company disclaims
