1.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments) have been made as of January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004 to present the financial statements fairly. However, the results of operations for the nine months then ended are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q, and do not contain certain information included in the annual financial statements. The financial statements accompanying this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended April 3, 2004.

2.	There was no tax benefit during the three and nine-month periods ended January 1, 2005, as the tax benefits were offset by changes in a valuation allowance.

3.

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects per share amounts that would have resulted if dilutive stock options had been converted into common stock. The following reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:

There were no additional dilutive shares included in the computation for the three and nine-month periods ended January 1, 2005 because the effect of stock options were anti-dilutive.

4.

On December 31, 2002, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with Provident Bank. The Revolving Credit Agreement was amended by amendments dated July 17, 2003 and September 24, 2004. The Promissory Note issued pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement was amended by an amendment dated June 29, 2004. Under the loan documents as amended, the Company may borrow the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 or (ii) the sum of (x) 80% of accounts receivable due from Lowe’s Companies, plus (y) 50% of other trade accounts receivable (with the maximum amount being advanced in respect of such other trade accounts receivable being $250,000), plus (z) 50% of finished goods inventory (with the maximum amount being advanced in respect of such inventory being $500,000). Interest on the Revolving Credit Agreement is charged at one and one-half percent over the Bank’s prime rate. The maturity date on the agreement is June 30, 2005. All loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement are at the discretion of Provident Bank. At January 1, 2005, $477,000 was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

By Second Amendment dated September 24, 2004, the financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement were amended as follows:

          (a) Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Beginning with the Company’s third fiscal quarter, ending January 1, 2005, the Company must maintain a Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1:10 to 1:00, tested quarterly. Debt Service Coverage is defined as (i) EBITDA minus cash taxes and dividends, divided by (ii) cash interest expense plus quarterly current maturities of long-term debt.

          (b) Consolidated Tangible Net Worth. From July 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005, the Company must maintain consolidated tangible net worth in excess of $1,450,000. From and after April 1, 2005, consolidated tangible net worth must be in excess of $1,800,000.

Page 7

          (c) Limitation on Capital Expenditures. The Company may not make capital expenditures in excess of $50,000 during any fiscal year without Bank approval.

As of January 1, 2005, the Company had a debt service coverage ratio of 0.82 to 1.00 , which is not in compliance with the 1.10 to 1.00 ratio required. The Company has notified the lender of such noncompliance and has requested a waiver from Provident Bank. Failure to obtain the waiver could materially affect the Company’s financial position, liquidity, and operations.

In connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement, Mr. John R. Folkerth, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, delivered to Provident Bank a Continuing Unconditional Guaranty pursuant to which Mr. Folkerth guaranteed repayment of $200,000 of the indebtedness then or thereafter owing by the Company to the Bank. In consideration of that Guaranty, the Company has agreed to pay to Mr. Folkerth an annual fee of $3,000 (being 1.5% of the guaranteed amount).

On June 29, 2004, the Company refinanced a mortgage note on its building with a balance of $2,356,000 with a mortgage note from Provident Bank in the amount of $2,000,000 with interest at one-quarter percent over the bank’s prime rate. The note requires monthly payments of interest and from $8,000 to $10,000 of the principal. In August 2009, the remaining balance on the note of approximately $1,477,000 will become due. At January 1, 2005, there was $1,951,000 outstanding under the building mortgage agreement.

Under the terms of the mortgage loan, default by the Company under the Revolving Credit Agreement can trigger default under the mortgage loan. In the event of default, Provident Bank may declare the mortgage loan immediately due and payable. The outstanding balance of the mortgage note at January 1, 2005 has been classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet due to the Company’s noncompliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant of its amended Revolving Credit Agreement.

The mortgage loan and the revolving credit loans are collateralized by a mortgage on, or security interest in, substantially all assets of the Company.

The Company is dependent upon the Revolving Credit Agreement to fund operations during periods of negative cash flow. Termination of the Revolving Credit Agreement, without the establishment of a substitute credit facility, would create significant liquidity issues for the Company.

5.	A major retailer (Lowe’s) represented 47% and 40% of net sales for the quarters ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, respectively. This retailer also represented 41% of trade accounts receivable at January 1, 2005 and April 3, 2004, respectively.

6.

The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,” and, accordingly, accounts for its stock option plans using the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share if compensation expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123.

7.	New Accounting Pronouncements.

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires all public companies to record compensation cost for stock options provided to employees in return for employee service. The cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employee service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options. SFAS 123R will apply prospectively to awards granted or modified after the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Compensation cost will also be prospectively recorded for prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption. The effects on results of operations will depend on the level of future option grants and the calculation of the fair value of the options granted at such future date, as well as the vesting periods provided and so cannot currently be predicted. Existing options that will vest after adoption date are expected to result in additional compensation expense of approximately $6,000 during fiscal 2006. There will be no significant effect on financial position as total shareholders’ equity will not change.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Shopsmith manufactures and sells woodworking products. Our core product, the Mark V, is sold directly to consumers through demonstration sales events and indirectly to consumers through distributors (primarily Lowe’s where Shopsmith also conducts sales demonstrations) along with smaller amounts through other efforts. Mark V sales demonstrations are performed at state fairs, at home shows, and in shopping malls. Other woodworking products and accessories are sold through mail and internet channels. Shopsmith recognizes revenue for these orders at the time of product shipment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The financial condition and results of operations for Shopsmith presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying notes , and management’s discussion and analysis are dependent upon the Company’s accounting policies. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change. The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s annual report to shareholders for the year ended April 3, 2004. In management’s opinion, the Company’s critical accounting policies include the allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued recourse liability and deferred tax valuation allowance.

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Customer accounts are stratified by type of account, original credit rating, and recent payment history. Estimated loss rates are then applied to these groups. Deterioration of our customers’ ability to make payments could require additions to the allowance.

Accounts repurchased under the recourse provision, discussed below, are carried in trade accounts receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, while the Company attempts to collect them.

Accrued Recourse Liability

Certain retail installment contracts sold to financial institutions through the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 included a recourse provision. Under this recourse provision, Shopsmith is obligated to purchase the installment contract if the customer defaults on their obligation to the financial institution. The Company’s liability for future recourse obligations has been estimated using factors based on the value and rate of change of the value of the outstanding accounts, the rate and changes in the rate of repurchases required under the recourse provision, as well as estimates of amounts collectable after the accounts are repurchased. If these factors would deteriorate, additional accruals would be necessary and would affect future operating results. The Company will be required to adopt Statement of Position 03-03 in April 2005. At that time, purchases of loans under a recourse provision will be recorded at fair value at repurchase date, instead of gross less an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance

The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets based on its evaluation of the realizability of the future tax benefits of deferred tax assets. The effect of the allowance is to reduce to zero the carrying value of the potential tax benefit arising from the possibility of offsetting the Company’s cumulative operating losses against future taxable income.

Results of Operations

Fiscal 2005 third quarter sales increased to $3,681,000, or 1.0%, from $3,646,000 during the same period a year ago. Increases in sales through demonstrations within Lowe’s stores were nearly offset by decreases in catalog and traveling academy sales. Fiscal 2005 year-to-date sales decreased to $9,494,000, or 4.4%, from $9,933,000 last year. The decline in year-to-date sales was primarily in the Company’s Catalog and Internet sales channels.

Gross margin rates for the fiscal 2005 third quarter decreased by 0.9 percentage points compared to the same period last year. On a year-to-date basis, gross margin rates increased by 0.4 percentage points. Operating expenses increased by $54,000 to $1,882,000 in the fiscal 2005 third quarter from $1,828,000 in last year’s third quarter. For fiscal 2005 year-to-date, operating expenses increased by $403,000 to $5,381,000 from $4,978,000 in the prior year. The most significant factors in the increase in operating expenses were an increase in the number of Mark V sales demonstration events, primarily within Lowe’s stores, as well as expenditures on sales representative training costs.

Provisions for recoverable federal income taxes are based on estimated annual effective rates, less a valuation allowance. No tax benefit or expense is reported for the periods ended January 1, 2005, as they were offset by changes in the valuation allowance.

With the increased operating expenses, the Company recorded a net loss of $27,000, or $.01 per diluted share, in the quarter ended January 1, 2005, compared to net income of $24,000, or $.01 per diluted share, for the same period of last year. For fiscal 2005 year-to-date, a net loss of $498,000, or $.19 per diluted share, was incurred, compared to net income of $18,000, or $.01 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Financial Position

Cash provided from operations totaled $6,000 for the nine months ended January 1, 2005, compared with $285,000 provided from operations for the same period of the preceding year. During the period, cash was used for an increase in accounts receivable, as well as for the period’s net loss. Cash was provided from an increase in accounts payable of $904,000, which occurred both due to seasonal volume, as well as an extension of payment terms beyond the Company’s customary practice.

On December 31, 2002, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with Provident Bank. The Revolving Credit Agreement was amended by amendments dated July 17, 2003 and September 24, 2004. The Promissory Note issued pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement was amended by an amendment dated June 29, 2004. Under the loan documents as amended, the Company may borrow the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 or (ii) the sum of (x) 80% of accounts receivable due from Lowe’s Companies, plus (y) 50% of other trade accounts receivable (with the maximum amount being advanced in respect of such other trade accounts receivable being $250,000), plus (z) 50% of finished goods inventory (with the maximum amount being advanced in respect of such inventory being $500,000). Interest on the Revolving Credit Agreement is charged at one and one-half percent over the Bank’s prime rate. The maturity date on the agreement is June 30, 2005. All loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement are at the discretion of Provident Bank. At January 1, 2005, $477,000 was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The maximum amount available under the credit line at January 1, 2005 was $882,000.

By Second Amendment dated September 24, 2004, the financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement were amended as follows:

          (a) Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Beginning with the Company’s third fiscal quarter, ending January 1, 2005, the Company must maintain a Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1:10 to 1:00, tested quarterly. Debt Service Coverage is defined as (i) EBITDA minus cash taxes and dividends, divided by (ii) cash interest expense plus quarterly current maturities of long-term debt.

          (b) Consolidated Tangible Net Worth. From July 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005, the Company must maintain consolidated tangible net worth in excess of $1,450,000. From and after April 1, 2005, consolidated tangible net worth must be in excess of $1,800,000.

          (c) Limitation on Capital Expenditures. The Company may not make capital expenditures in excess of $50,000 during any fiscal year without Bank approval.

Page 11

As of January 1, 2005, the Company had a debt service coverage ratio of 0.82 to 1.00, which is not in compliance with the 1.10 to 1.00 ratio required. The Company has notified the lender of such noncompliance and has requested a waiver. Failure to obtain the waiver could materially affect the Company’s financial position, liquidity, and operations.

In connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement, Mr. John R. Folkerth, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, delivered to Provident Bank a Continuing Unconditional Guaranty pursuant to which Mr. Folkerth guaranteed repayment of $200,000 of the indebtedness then or thereafter owing by the Company to the Bank. In consideration of that Guaranty, the Company has agreed to pay to Mr. Folkerth an annual fee of $3,000 (being 1.5% of the guaranteed amount).

On June 29, 2004, the Company refinanced a mortgage on its office and manufacturing facility. At the time of the refinancing, the mortgage balance was $2,356,000. The mortgage was refinanced with a mortgage loan from Provident Bank in the amount of $2,000,000 (the “New Mortgage Loan”). In order to facilitate the New Mortgage Loan, the Company drew $356,000 under the Revolving Credit Agreement to reduce the prior mortgage balance immediately before the refinancing. Interest on the New Mortgage Loan is at one-quarter percent over the Bank’s prime rate. The loan documents require monthly payment of interest and monthly payments of principal from $8,000 to $10,000. In August 2009, the remaining balance on the note of approximately $1,477,000 will become due.

Under the terms of the New Mortgage Loan, default under the Revolving Credit Agreement can trigger default under the New Mortgage Loan. In the event of default, the Bank may declare the New Mortgage Loan immediately due and payable. As of January 1, 2005, the Company was not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant of the Revolving Credit Agreement. As a result of this covenant violation, the mortgage debt has been classified as a current liability as of January 1, 2005.

The New Mortgage Loan and the revolving credit loans are collateralized by a mortgage on, or security interest in, substantially all assets of the Company.

The Company is dependent upon the Revolving Credit Agreement to fund operations during periods of negative cash flow. Termination of the Revolving Credit Agreement, without establishment of a substitute credit facility, would create significant liquidity issues for the Company.

The Company’s current ratio was 0.67 to 1 at January 1, 2005 and 1.47 to 1 at April 3, 2004. Excluding the current liability classification of the Company’s mortgage note, the current ratio would have been 1.02 to 1 at January 1, 2005. The debt to equity ratio increased to 3.30 to 1 at January 1, 2005 from 2.15 to 1 at April 3, 2004. Losses during the nine months ended January 1, 2005 have contributed to a tightening of liquidity which in turn has caused the Company to defer payments to vendors beyond the Company’s customary payment practice.

The Company believes that profitability is critical to ensuring adequate liquidity in both the current and future fiscal years.

Contractual Obligations

As noted in management’s discussion of liquidity and financial position, the mortgage debt, shown here as long-term debt, has been classified as a current obligation on the balance sheet

Page 12

Forward Looking Statements

The foregoing discussion and the Company’s consolidated financial statements contain certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following: (i) the operating cash flows together with currently available working capital may be inadequate to finance the operating needs of the Company; (ii) cancellation by Lowe’s of the in-store sales program; (iii) the Company may fail to obtain a waiver for its failure to meet the financial covenants contained its Loan Agreement with Provident Bank, in which event the Bank may declare all amounts owed by the Company to the Bank under the revolving credit and mortgage loan facilities to be immediately due and payable; (iv) the Company’s future results may fail to meet the financial covenants contained in its Loan Agreement with Provident Bank; (v) the Bank may decline to make further advances under the revolving credit facility; (vi) the Company may be unable to extend or refinance the revolving credit facility when the revolving credit loans mature on June 30, 2005; and (vii) actual losses related to doubtful accounts and recourse liabilities (discussed under Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates) may exceed current estimates.
