WSI INDUSTRIES, INC.

ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

YEAR ENDED AUGUST 26, 2001

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REPORT

PART I

Item 1. Business:

(a) General development of business:

The Company was incorporated in Minnesota in 1950 for the
purpose of performing precision contract machining for the
aerospace, communication, and industrial markets. The
major portion of Company revenues are derived from
machining work for agricultural related markets, the
aerospace industry, construction and recreational vehicles
markets.

On February 15, 1999, the Company purchased Taurus Numeric
Tool, Inc. ("Taurus") for approximately $7.2 million, with
$5.5 million being paid in cash and bank debt and an
additional $1.7 million being in the form of a
Subordinated Promissory Note to the prior owner. Taurus is
a precision contract machining company that sells
primarily to the aerospace and avionics markets.

On August 6, 1999, the Company purchased Bowman Tool &
Machining, Inc. ("Bowman") for approximately $7.6 million,
with $6.8 million being paid by additional debt and
$844,000 being paid in the form of a Subordinated
Promissory Note to the prior owner of Bowman. An
additional amount of $1,090,600 was earned by the seller
in connection with the purchase which was added to the
Promissory Note. Bowman is a precision contract machining
company serving the construction industry.

The acquisitions were completed as a result of the
Company's publicly stated objective of diversifying the
markets that it serves.

During fiscal 2000, the Company closed its Long Lake,
Minnesota facility and consolidated all of its
manufacturing operations into its facilities at Taurus and
Bowman in Osseo, Minnesota and Rochester, Minnesota,
respectively. The initiative placed the Company in closer
proximity to its major customers as well as reduced its
overhead structure and optimized its plant capacity.

Contract manufacturing constitutes the Company's entire
business.

(b) Financial information about industry segments:

As noted above, the Company's business is now conducted in
a single industry segment--contract manufacturing.

(c) Narrative description of the business:

(1)(i) The principal products and services of the Company
are set forth below.

The Company manufactures metal components in medium to
high volumes requiring tolerances as close as one
ten-thousandth (.0001) of an inch. These components are
manufactured in accordance with customer specifications
using materials generally purchased by the Company, but
occasionally supplied by the customer. The major markets
served by the Company have changed in the past several
years because of the Company's effort to diversify its
customer and market base. Sales to the agricultural
industry were 53%, 35% and 36% of total Company sales in
fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Sales to
the recreational vehicle market totaled 13%, 9% and 12% in
1999, 2000 and 2001 respectively. Sales to the
aerospace/avionics/defense market totaled 14%, 12% and 19%
in fiscal 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Sales to the
construction/power systems market totaled 20% and 19% in
fiscal 2000 and 2001, respectivly.

The Company has a reputation as a dependable supplier
capable of meeting stringent specifications to produce
quality components at high production rates. The Company
has demonstrated an ability to develop sophisticated
manufacturing processes and controls essential to produce
precision and reliability in its products.

* * * * *

(ii) The Company's machining business is continually
developing or modifying processes, but no new
single process in development is expected to
require the investment of a material amount of the
assets of the Company.

(iii) Purchased materials for the Company are generally
available in adequate supply.

(iv) Patents and trademarks are not deemed significant
to the Company.

(v) Seasonal patterns in the Company's business are
reflections of its customers seasonal patterns
since the Company's business is that of a provider
of manufacturing services.

(vi) The Company does not believe that its business
demands unusual working capital requirements.



3






(vii) Sales in excess of 10 percent of fiscal 2001
consolidated sales were made to Deere & Co. and
related entities in the amount of $11,493,000 or
55% of Company revenues. Sales were also made to
Rockwell in the amount of $2,265,000 or 11% of
Company revenues as well as Polaris in the amount
of $2,510,000 or 12% of sales.

(viii) Approximate dollar backlog at August 26, 2001,
August 27, 2000, and August 29, 1999 was
$13,108,000, $23,876,000 and $16,032,000
respectively. Backlog is not deemed to be any more
significant for the Company than for other
companies engaged in similar businesses. The above
backlog amounts are believed to be firm, and no
appreciable amount of the backlog as of August 26,
2001 is scheduled for delivery later than during
the current fiscal year.

(ix) No material portion of the contract business is
subject to renegotiation of profits or termination
of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the
government.

(x) Although there are a large number of companies
engaged in machining, the Company believes the
number of entities with the technical capability
and capacity for producing products of the class
and in the volumes manufactured by the Company is
relatively small. Competition is primarily based on
product quality, service, timely delivery, and
price.

(xi) No material amount has been spent on
company-sponsored research and development
activities.

(xii) No material capital expenditures for environmental
control were made or are anticipated in the
foreseeable future.

(xiii) At August 26, 2001, the Registrant had 80
employees, none of whom were subject to a union
contract.

(d) Financial information about foreign and domestic
operations and export sales:

The Company has no operations in any foreign country. The
Company's export sales in fiscal 1999 were not
significant. In 2000 and 2001, sales to companies in
Mexico amounted to $2,061,000 and $2,623,000,
respectively. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Item 2. Properties:

The Company's former executive offices and production facility
were located in Long Lake, Minnesota (a western suburb of
Minneapolis). The property was sold in June 2001 for
approximately $2.4 million.

The Company leases two production facilities that are located in
Osseo, Minnesota and Rochester, Minnesota. The Rochester facility
is approximately 38,000 square feet with the lease being for
six-month periods with options to renew. The Osseo facility is
approximately 28,000 square feet and is leased until February
2002 with options to renew. In connection with the Rochester
operation, the Company also leases on a month-to-month basis
approximately 4,000 square feet at a location that primarily
stores excess tooling.



4






The Company considers its manufacturing equipment, facilities,
and other physical properties to be suitable and adequate to meet
the requirements of its business.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

As discussed in Item 1., the Company purchased both Taurus Numeric Tool, Inc.
and Bowman Tool & Machining, Inc. during fiscal 1999.

The net result of these transactions was the addition of $4.4 million of term
debt from the Company's bank, $2.5 million from a mortgage from the same bank,
$1.3 million from the Company's Revolving Line of Credit, and $2.5 million from
Subordinated Promissory Notes to the seller of Bowman and Taurus.

During fiscal 2000, the Company paid down $1.6 million of the term debt and
$167,000 of the mortgage. Also during 2000, the seller of Bowman earned the
first of two possible contingencies. Therefore, an additional $750,000 was added
to his Subordinated Promissory Note Payable.

During fiscal 2001, the Company paid down an additional $1.6 million of the term
debt. The Company also sold its Long Lake, Minnesota property for approximately
$2.4 million, the proceeds from which paid off the balance on the mortgage of
$2.3 million. Also during fiscal 2001, the seller of Bowman partially earned the
last of two possible contingencies. The Company calculated the amount to be
$340,600, which was added to his Subordinated Promissory Note Payable.

The Company's negative working capital of $1,001,000 on August 26, 2001
reflected a decrease of $2.7 million from the prior year. The major item that
caused the decrease in working capital was the reclassification of one-third of
the Subordinated Promissory Notes Payable into current maturities as those
amounts will be due in fiscal 2002. The current portion of Subordinated Notes
amounted to approximately $1.2 million in fiscal 2001. The entire amount of the
bank term debt was classified as current as that agreement expires in March
2002. Other decreases in working capital were caused by lower accounts
receivable and inventories partially offset by lower accounts payable and
accrued compensation. The fiscal 2001 ratio of current assets to current
liabilities decreased to .78 to 1.0 from 1.35 to 1.0 for fiscal 2000.

Cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2001 was $2.6 million. Non-cash
charges for depreciation and amortization as well as a decrease in working
capital primarily accounted for the cash provided by operating activities. Cash
provided by operations was $2.0 million in fiscal 2000 and $2.6 million in
fiscal 1999.

Additions to property, plant and equipment were $513,000 in fiscal 2001 compared
to $916,000 in 2000 and $1,238,000 in 1999. These amounts included $323,000,
$433,000 and $980,000 of machinery acquired through capital leases in 2001, 2000
and 1999, respectively. The major 2001 capital expenditures consisted of the
acquisition of new production equipment.

Proceeds from the sale of equipment amounted to $746,000 and $57,000 in fiscal
2000 and1999, respectively. The relatively large proceeds in 2000 resulted from
the sale of excess equipment derived from the consolidation initiative. As
mentioned previously, the Company sold its Long Lake, Minnesota property for
$2.4 million in fiscal 2001.

The Company's total debt was $7 million at August 26, 2001 and consisted of $1.1
million of bank term debt, seller subordinated notes of $3.6 million and capital
lease obligations of $2.3 million. The total debt was $3.8 million lower that
fiscal 2000.



8






At August 26, 2001 and August 27, 2000 the Company had available a line of
credit of $3,000,000. At August 27, 2000, the outstanding balance on the line
was $369,000 with no balance at August 26, 2001. At August 26, 2001, the maximum
amount available to borrow on the line of credit was approximately $1.1 million.

It is managements' belief that internally generated funds combined with the line
of credit will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its financial
requirements during fiscal 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Net sales of $20.9 million decreased $11.3 million or 35% from fiscal 2000 sales
of $32.2 million and 673,000 or 3% from fiscal 1999 sales of $21.5 million.
Sales decreased in 2001 as compared to 2000 for three primary reasons. The first
was the overall downturn in the economy affected all markets served by the
Company. Secondly, as mentioned in previous 10-Q's, a major customer made the
decision to effectvely consign raw materials for its manufacturing programs to
the Company instead of WSI purchasing the material and subsequently reselling
the material after manufacture. This consignment thus resulted in lower sales to
that customer. The last reason for the decreased in sales was the loss of a
larger customer at the end of the second quarter.

The sales decrease in 2001 versus 1999 would have been approximately equivalent
to the 2001/2000 comparison had Bowman and Taurus been included in 1999 for the
full fiscal year. However, Taurus was acquired in the middle of fiscal 1999
while Bowman was acquired at the end of fiscal 1999.

In fiscal 2001, the Company reported a net loss of $1.2 million or $.48 per
share compared to net earnings of $639,000 or $.25 per share in 2000 and
$261,000 or .10 per share in 1999. The net earnings in fiscal 2000 included a
gain from the termination of the Company's defined pension plan of $354,000, a
gain on the sale of excess equipment of $395,000, and $248,000 in severance
costs paid to employees affected by the Long Lake plant shutdown.

The gross margin on parts sold in fiscal 2001 was 18.5% of sales compared to
16.8% of sales and 15.2% of sales in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Margin
improved in 2001 versus 2000 and 1999 despite the lower level of sales. The
primary reason for this was the increased efficiencies obtained at the new
Taurus and Bowman manufacturing plants as compared to the Company's Long Lake,
Minnesota facility which was open a partial year in 2000 and a full year in
1999. Fiscal 2001 gross margin was hampered as the year went on and the level of
sales softened - gross margin in the first quarter was 21.9% versus 8.1% in the
fourth quarter. Gross margin in 2000 was negatively affected by relocation and
training costs associated with the consolidation initiative.

Selling and administrative expense of $4.2 million in fiscal 2001 was a decrease
of $95,000 and an increase of $1.6 million from fiscal years 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The 2001 versus 1999 increase was related to the addition of
Taurus and Bowman expenses for a full year. The 2001 slight decrease versus 2000
was a combination of lower incentive compensation and profit sharing partially
offset by the carrying cost of the Long Lake building being included in selling
and administrative expense for a longer period in 2001 versus 2000.

Interest and other income of $33,000 was $43,000 lower in fiscal 2001 than 2000,
and $125,000 lower than 1999 primarily due to less interest income due to lower
average cash balances.



9






Interest and other expense of $820,000 in fiscal 2001 was $177,000 lower than
2000 and $339,000 higher than 1999. The lower interest in 2001 versus 2000 was
due to the lower level of debt during the year as compared to the prior year.
The interest expense was higher versus 1999 as the acquisition debt did not
appear on the balance sheet until after the middle of 1999.

Income tax expense is significantly less than the statutory amount due to the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in each of fiscal 2000 and 1999.

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding recent accounting
standards to be adopted.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Board of Directors and Shareholders
WSI Industries, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WSI Industries,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 26, 2001 and August 27, 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the years ended August 26, 2001, August 27, 2000 and August 29, 1999.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 14 (a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of WSI Industries,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 26, 2001 and August 27, 2000, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended August 26, 2001, August 27, 2000 and August 29, 1999 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also in our

to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

WSI INDUSTRIES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED AUGUST 26, 2001, AUGUST 27, 2000 AND AUGUST 29, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fiscal Year - WSI Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries' (the Company) fiscal
years represent a 52- to 53-week period ending the last Sunday in August.
Fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 each consisted of 52 weeks.

Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of WSI Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand, bank account balances and money market investments including debt
obligations issued by the U. S. Government or its agencies and corporate
obligations. Cash equivalents are carried at cost plus accrued interest
which approximates fair value.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out method) or market. Inventory costs consist of material, direct
labor, and manufacturing overhead. The Company's inventories are stated
net of valuation allowances of $263,372 and $131,789 at August 26, 2001
and August 27, 2000, respectively.

Depreciation - The cost of buildings and substantially all equipment is
being depreciated using the straight-line method. The estimated useful
lives of the assets are as follows:



Buildings and improvements 15 to 32 years
Machinery and equipment 3 to 10 years
Transportation equipment 3 to 5 years


The Company evaluates long-term assets on a periodic basis in compliance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount.

During 2001, the Company determined that some excess equipment that is
currently on consignment to be sold was worth less than its net book
value. The Company has written the book value of the related equipment to
its estimated net realizable value. In 2001, the Company recognized
$150,000 in expense related to this impairment.

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability
method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues from sales of product are recorded upon
shipment. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its
customers' financial condition. Credit losses relating to customers have
been minimal and within management's expectations.



21






Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Earnings per Share - Basic earnings per share is computed using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per
share is computed using the combination of dilutive common share
equivalents and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Stock Options - The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, but applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25 (APB 25) and related interpretation in accounting for its plans.
Under APB 25, when the exercise price of employee stock options equals the
market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation
expense is recognized.

Reclassification - Certain prior year items have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards - In July 2001, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". These
standards change the accounting for business combinations by, among other
things, prohibiting the prospective use of pooling-of-interests accounting
and requiring companies to stop amortizing goodwill and certain intangible
assets with an indefinite useful life created by business combinations
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Instead, goodwill
and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life will be
subject to an annual review for impairment. The Company will adopt the
standards in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company has determined
the impact of Statement 142 will be a reduction of $344,000 per year in
amortization expense.

2. ACQUISITIONS

On February 15, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Taurus
Numeric Tool, Inc. ("Taurus") by purchasing all the shares of common stock
from its sole shareholder. The value of the transaction was approximately
$7.2 million including acquisition costs, with $5.5 million being paid by
cash and debt borrowings, and an additional $1.7 million being in the form
of a Subordinated Promissory Note to the prior owner. The acquisition was
accounted for by the purchase method.

The Taurus consideration was allocated to assets and liabilities based on
fair values as follows:



Net assets acquired $ 4,535,000
Goodwill and other intangible assets 2,713,000
-----------
$ 7,248,000
===========


On August 6, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Bowman Tool &
Machining, Inc. ("Bowman") by purchasing all the shares of common stock
from its sole shareholder. The value of the transaction was approximately
$7.6 million, with $6.8 million being paid by debt borrowings, and
approximately $844,000 being paid in the form of a Subordinated Promissory
Note to the prior owner. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase
method.



22






The Bowman consideration was allocated to assets and liabilities based on
fair values as follows:



Net assets acquired $ 4,560,000
Goodwill and other intangible assets 3,054,000
-----------
$ 7,614,000
===========


In fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, contingent payments were earned in the
amount of $1,090,000 and were included in goodwill.

Goodwill and other intangible assets are being amortized over their
estimated useful lives of 20 years on a straight-line basis. Amortization
for the years ended August 26, 2001, August 27, 2000 and August 29, 1999
was $337,361, $291,950 and $82,300, respectively.

The following table shows the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of
operations for fiscal 1999 as if both Taurus and Bowman had been acquired
as of the beginning of that period:



Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Results
Year Ended
----------------------------------------
August 29, 1999
---------------

Sales $ 33,802,000
Net earnings $ 2,105,000
Net earnings per share $ .83


The unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what
actually would have occurred if the acquisitions had been in effect for
the entire period presented. In addition, they are not intended to be a
projection of future results and do not reflect any synergies that might
have been achieved from combined operations.

3. DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following:



August 26, 2001 August 27, 2000
--------------- ---------------

Bank term debt $ 1,142,856 $ 2,771,428
Mortgage note payable -- 2,333,332
Subordinated promissory notes 3,597,256 3,256,657
Capitalized lease obligations (Note 4) 2,287,411 2,476,046
----------- -----------
7,027,523 10,837,463
Less current portion 2,916,061 1,236,460
----------- -----------
Long-term debt $ 4,111,462 $ 9,601,003
=========== ===========


During fiscal 1999, the Company renegotiated its term debt and its line of
credit with the same bank with which the Company previously had its debt
and line of credit. The agreement requires principal payments of $52,381
per month on the Term Note with the agreement expiring on March 31, 2002.
Interest on the term debt is calculated at the bank's base rate (6.50% at
August 26, 2001 and 9.50% at August 27, 2000) plus .75% and is also paid
monthly.

During fiscal 1999, the Company obtained a mortgage with the same bank
with which it currently has its term debt and line of credit facility. The
agreement required monthly principal payments of $13,889. Interest on the
mortgage was calculated at the bank's base rate plus 1.0% and was paid
monthly. The entire balance was paid off June 12, 2001 after the sale of
the building securing the mortgage.



23







Interest on the line of credit is at the bank's base rate plus 0.5
percentage points (6.5% at August 26, 2001). The line expires March 31,
2002. The agreement provides for secured borrowing of up to $3,000,000;
however, the Company is charged an annual unused credit line fee of 0.5%.
At August 26, 2001 there was no balance outstanding.

Restrictive provisions of the agreement require, among other provisions,
that the Company (1) maintain a net worth of not less than $7,000,000, (2)
maintain a ratio of liabilities to net worth not greater than 4.0 to 1.0,
(3) limit capital expenditures to $3,000,000 in each fiscal year with no
more than $1,000,000 coming from its line of credit and (4) maintain a
defined cash flow coverage ratio of no less than 1.1 to 1.0. Cash
dividends are fully restricted. At August 26, 2001 and August 27, 2000,
the Company was in compliance with the various covenants of the credit
agreement.
The notes, line of credit and capital leases are collateralized by the
receivables, inventories, and property, plant, and equipment of the
Company.

In connection with the acquisitions of Bowman Tool & Machining, Inc. and
Taurus Numeric Tool, Inc., the Company entered into Subordinated
Promissory Notes with the sellers of the respective companies. The
agreements call for quarterly interest payments at 7.75%. The note in
connection with the Bowman transaction is due in three equal annual
installments commencing August 6, 2002. The note in connection with the
Taurus transaction is also due in three equal annual installments
commencing February 15, 2002. The notes are subordinated to all bank debt,
but are collateralized by equipment. Also in connection with the
acquisitions, both sellers had contingent payments that they could earn if
certain sales or profitability targets were met. In fiscal 2000 the seller
of Bowman met his first contingent payment and $750,000 was added to his
subordinated promissory note effective August 6, 2000. In fiscal 2001, the
Company calculated that the seller of Bowman earned an additional $340,600
which was added to his subordinated promissory note effective January 21,
2001.

Maturities of long-term debt, excluding capital lease obligations, for the
fiscal years subsequent to August 26, 2001 are as follows:



2002 $2,341,942
2003 1,199,086
2004 1,199,084
----------
$4,740,112
==========


4. COMMITMENTS

Leases - Included in the consolidated balance sheet at August 26, 2001 are
cost and accumulated depreciation on equipment subject to capitalized
leases of $6,174,337 and $3,916,359, respectively. At August 27, 2000, the
amounts were $5,851,666 and $3,143,779, respectively.




24





The present value of the net minimum payments on capital leases as of
August 26, 2001 is as follows:
