NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended July 31, 2006 and 2005

      The consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2006, the consolidated statements of income for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for the quarter ended July 31, 2006, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 have been prepared by us, without audit. The quarter end for our wholly owned subsidiary, Smith & Wesson Corp., was July 30, 2006, a one-day variance to our reported fiscal quarter end of July 31, 2006. This variance did not create any material difference in the financial statements as presented. In our opinion, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows at July 31, 2006 and for the periods presented have been included. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The balance sheet as of April 30, 2006 has been derived from our audited financial statements.

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2006. The results of operations for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended April 30, 2007 or any other period.

      We were incorporated on June 17, 1991 in the state of Nevada.

      Our wholly owned subsidiary, Smith & Wesson Corp., was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on January 13, 1987. Smith & Wesson Corp. and its predecessors have been in business since 1852. Since its formation, Smith & Wesson Corp. has undergone several ownership changes. On June 9, 1987, Tomkins Corporation (“Tomkins”), a company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware that is a subsidiary of U.K.-based Tomkins PLC, acquired Smith & Wesson Corp. from Lear Siegler.

      On May 11, 2001, we purchased all of the outstanding stock of Smith & Wesson Corp. from Tomkins for $15,000,000. At a special meeting of stockholders held on February 14, 2002, our stockholders approved a change of our company’s name to Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation.

      In January 2005, we completed the refinancing of our existing debt utilizing our receivables, inventory, property, plant, and equipment as collateral. The financing was obtained through TD BankNorth, with which we had previous loans.

      The credit facility consists of the following:

      (1) A revolving line of credit in an amount up to a maximum amount of the lesser of (a) $17.0 million; or (b) (i) 85% of the net amount of our eligible receivables as defined in the credit agreement; (ii) plus the lesser of $6.0 million or 70% of eligible raw materials inventory; plus (iii) 60% of eligible finished goods inventory; and (iv) plus 40% of eligible finished parts inventory. The revolving line of credit bears interest at a variable rate equal to prime or LIBOR plus 250 basis points (with the 250 basis point LIBOR spread being reduced if we meet certain targets with respect to our maximum leverage). The amount available under this line of credit is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit, an ACH holdback of $420,000, and 15% of any outstanding forward hedging contracts. There was $3.0 million outstanding under this line of credit as of July 31, 2006 bearing interest at a rate of 8.25% per annum.

SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      (2) A seven-year, $12.1 million term loan which bears interest at a rate of 6.23% per annum. The monthly payment is $178,671, with the final payment due on January 11, 2012.

      (3) A ten-year, $5.9 million term loan which bears interest at a rate of 6.85% per annum. The monthly payment is $45,525 through December 11, 2014 with a balloon payment due on January 11, 2015 of $3,975,611.

      We are in full compliance with all bank covenants as of July 31, 2006.

      A summary of inventories, stated at lower of cost or market as of July 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006, is as follows:

      We expense advertising costs, primarily consisting of magazine advertisements and printed materials, as incurred. For the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, advertising expense was approximately $1,783,000 and $1,772,000, respectively.

      We generally provide a lifetime warranty to the “original” purchaser of our firearms products. We provide for estimated warranty obligations in the period in which we recognize the related revenue. We quantify and record an estimate for warranty-related costs based on our actual historical claims experience and current repair costs. We make adjustments to accruals as warranty claim data and historical experience warrant. Should we experience actual claims and repair costs that are higher than the estimated claims and repair costs used to calculate the provision, our operating results for the period or periods in which such returns or additional costs materialize would be adversely impacted. Warranty expense for the three months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 was $345,643 and $153,396, respectively.

      The change in accrued warranties for the quarter ended July 31, 2006, the quarter ended July 31, 2005, and the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 was as follows:

      During the first quarter, we received certain reports of barrel failures involving the limited edition Performance Center version of our Model 460 revolver. We are presently investigating the nature and scope of the problem and anticipate that we may need to take some corrective action in the near future. At this time,

SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

the nature and scope of the remedial action is not probable or quantifiable and thus no specific accrual has been reflected in our financial statements.

      We have verified through our investigation that our standard production Model 460 is not affected, and will not be included in any remedial action plan.

      As of July 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006, we had reserves for workers’ compensation, product liability, and medical/dental costs totaling approximately $9.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively, of which approximately $6.0 million has been classified as non-current and included in other non-current liabilities, and the remaining amounts of approximately $3.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, have been included in current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. While we believe these reserves to be adequate, there exists a possibility that the ultimate liabilities will exceed such estimates. Amounts charged to expense were approximately $1.1 million and $1.3 million for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

      It is our policy to provide an estimate for loss as a result of expected adverse findings or legal settlements when we believe such losses are probable and are reasonably estimable. It is also our policy to accrue for reasonably estimable legal costs associated with defending such litigation. While such estimates involve a range of possible costs, we determine, in consultation with litigation counsel, the most likely cost within such range on a case-by-case basis. At July 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006, we had product liability reserves of approximately $7.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively, consisting entirely of estimated legal defense costs, of which approximately $5.1 million has been included in other non-current liabilities, and the remaining amounts of approximately $2.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, have been included in current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we had recorded receivables from insurance carriers related to these liabilities of approximately $4.7 million, of which approximately $3.8 million has been classified as other assets and the remaining $900,000 has been classified as other current assets.

      We, together with other firearms manufacturers and certain related organizations, are a co-defendant in various legal proceedings involving product liability claims and are aware of other product liability claims, including allegations of defective product design, manufacturing, negligent marketing, and/or distribution of firearms leading to personal injury, including wrongful death. The lawsuits and claims are based principally on the theory of “strict liability,” but also may be based on negligence, breach of warranty, and other legal theories. In many of the lawsuits, punitive damages, as well as compensatory damages, are demanded. Aggregate claimed amounts currently exceed product liability accruals and, if applicable, insurance coverage. We believe that, in every case, the various allegations as described above are unfounded, and, in addition, that any accident and any results from them were due to negligence or misuse of the firearm by the claimant or a third party and that there should be no recovery against us.

      In addition, we are a co-defendant in various legal proceedings brought by certain cities, municipalities, and counties against numerous firearms manufacturers, distributors, and dealers seeking to recover damages allegedly arising out of the misuse of firearms by third parties in shootings. The complaints by municipalities seek damages, among other things, for the costs of medical care, police and emergency services, public health services, and the maintenance of courts, prisons, and other services. In certain instances, the plaintiffs seek to recover for decreases in property values and loss of business within the city due to increased criminal violence. In addition, nuisance abatement and/or injunctive relief is sought to change the design, manufacture, marketing, and distribution practices of the various defendants. These suits allege, among other claims, strict liability or negligence in the design of products, public nuisance, negligent entrustment, negligent distribution,

SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

deceptive or fraudulent advertising, violation of consumer protection statutes, and conspiracy or concert of action theories. We believe that, in every case, the various allegations as described above are unfounded, and, in addition, that any accident and any results from them were due to negligence or misuse of the firearm by a third party and that there should be no recovery against us.

      We monitor the status of known claims and the product liability accrual, which includes amounts for defense costs for asserted and unasserted claims. While it is difficult to forecast the outcome of these claims, we believe, after consultation with litigation counsel, that it is uncertain whether the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We believe that we have provided adequate reserves for defense costs. We do not anticipate material adverse judgments and intend to vigorously defend ourselves.

      At this time, an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses, as that term is defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 5, “Loss Contingencies,” relating to unfavorable outcomes cannot be made. However, in the product liability cases in which a dollar amount of damages is claimed, the amount of damages claimed, which totaled approximately $2.6 million at July 31, 2006, is set forth as an indication of possible maximum liability that we might be required to incur in these cases (regardless of the likelihood or reasonable probability of any or all of this amount being awarded to claimants) as a result of adverse judgments that are sustained on appeal.

      In the quarter ended July 31, 2006, defense costs of $33,000 were incurred and were paid directly by our insurance carriers. Consequently we have reduced our product liability and municipal litigation reserves and our receivable from insurers by $33,000.

      We have recorded the liability for defense costs at a level before reimbursement from insurance carriers. We have also recorded the amount due as reimbursement under existing policies from the insurance carriers as a receivable shown in other current assets and other assets.

      On May 19, 2006, the court granted our motion to dismiss based on the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act in the case Michael Billie Sue Pavelka v. Berretta U.S.A. Corp, et. al., in the Superior Court for the State of California for the County of Los Angeles. Notice of entry of the judgment was given to plaintiffs on August 14, 2006. Plaintiffs agreed to waive their right to appeal in exchange for the defendants’ waiver of costs.

      On October 26, 2005, President George W. Bush signed into law the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. The legislation is designed to prohibit civil liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages, injunctions, or other relief resulting from the misuse of their products by others. The legislation, by its terms, would result in the dismissal of the various cases against us and preclude similar cases in the future. The legislation does not preclude traditional product liability actions. There have been constitutional and other challenges to the legislation in some of the pending cases. We cannot predict whether judges in existing proceedings will dismiss cases currently pending before them. No adjustments to municipal litigation reserves have been made as a result of the passage of this law.

      The SEC is conducting an investigation to determine whether there have been violations of the federal securities laws in connection with matters relating to the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2002 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2003. We intend to continue to cooperate fully with the SEC. There has been no change in the status of this investigation during the quarter ended July 31, 2006.

SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      We are subject to numerous federal, state, and local laws that regulate the discharge of materials into, or otherwise relate to the protection of, the environment. These laws have required, and are expected to continue to require, us to make significant expenditures of both a capital and expense nature. Several of the more significant federal laws applicable to our operations include the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), and the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”).

      We have in place programs and personnel to monitor compliance with various federal, state, and local environmental regulations. In the normal course of our manufacturing operations, we are subject to governmental proceedings and orders pertaining to waste disposal, air emissions, and water discharges into the environment. We fund our environmental costs through cash flows from operations. We believe that we are in compliance with applicable environmental regulations in all material respects.

      We are required to remediate hazardous waste at our facilities. Currently, we own designated sites in Springfield, Massachusetts and are subject to five release areas, which are the focus of remediation projects as part of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (“MCP”). The MCP provides a structured environment for the voluntary remediation of regulated releases. We may be required to remove hazardous waste or remediate the alleged effects of hazardous substances on the environment associated with past disposal practices at sites not owned by us. We have received notice that we are a potentially responsible party from the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or individual states under CERCLA or a state equivalent at one site.

      We had reserves of $630,000 as of July 31, 2006 ($590,000 as non-current) for remediation of the sites referred to above and believe that the time frame for remediation is currently indeterminable. Therefore, the time frame for payment of such remediation is likewise currently indeterminable, thus making any net present value calculation impracticable. Our estimate of these costs is based upon currently enacted laws and regulations, currently available facts, experience in remediation efforts, existing technology, and the ability of other potentially responsible parties or contractually liable parties to pay the allocated portions of any environmental obligations. When the available information is sufficient to estimate the amount of liability, that estimate has been used; when the information is only sufficient to establish a range of probable liability and no point within the range is more likely than any other, the lower end of the range has been used. We do not have insurance coverage for our environmental remediation costs. We have not recognized any gains from probable recoveries or other gain contingencies. The environmental reserve was calculated using undiscounted amounts based on independent environmental remediation reports obtained.

      On February 25, 2003, we sold approximately 85 acres of company-owned property in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts to the Springfield Redevelopment Authority (“SRA”) for $1.75 million, resulting in a net gain of $1.7 million. The terms of the sale included a cash payment of $750,000 at the closing and a promissory note for the remaining $1.0 million. The note is collateralized by a mortgage on the sold property. This note is due in 2022 and accrues interest at a fixed rate of 6.0% per annum.

      The 85 acres have known environmental liabilities related to past operating practices, and the sales price reflected those issues. The buyer, the Springfield Redevelopment Authority, or the SRA, is an agency of the city of Springfield and had obtained governmental grants to help defray costs related to the property. At the time of the sale, we did not decrease our reserves as we were waiting for the remediation (which would eliminate any potential liability) to be completed. Remediation was completed by the SRA in May 2005 and we reduced our environmental reserves by $3.1 million in the quarter ended July 31, 2005.

      Based on information known to us, we do not expect current environmental regulations or environmental proceedings and claims to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, it is not possible to predict with certainty the impact on us of future environmental compliance requirements or of the cost of resolution of future environmental proceedings and

SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

claims, in part because the scope of the remedies that may be required is not certain, liability under federal environmental laws is joint and several in nature, and environmental laws and regulations are subject to modification and changes in interpretation. There can be no assurance that additional or changing environmental regulation will not become more burdensome in the future and that any such development would not have a material adverse effect on our company.

      The inability to obtain sufficient quantities of raw materials, components, and other supplies from independent sources necessary for the production of our products could result in reduced or delayed sales or lost orders. Any delay in or loss of sales could adversely impact our operating results. Many of the materials used in the production of our products are available only from a limited number of suppliers. In most cases, we do not have long-term supply contracts with these suppliers.

      Employment Agreements — We have entered into employment agreements with certain officers and managers to retain their services in the ordinary course of business.

      Other Agreements — We have distribution agreements with third parties in the ordinary course of business.

      During the quarter ended July 31, 2006, options or warrants were exercised and common stock issued as follows:

SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      The following table provides a reconciliation of the income amounts and weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares used to determine basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005:

      Options and warrants to purchase 675,000 shares of our common stock were excluded from the earnings per share calculation for the quarter ended July 31, 2005, as the effect would be antidilutive.

      In fiscal 2002, we issued warrants related to the financing of debt used for the acquisition of Smith & Wesson Corp., as incentive bonuses to employees and directors and as compensation to outside consultants.

      In consideration for past services to our company, including services rendered in connection with the acquisition of Smith & Wesson Corp., we issued a common stock purchase warrant, dated May 11, 2001, to Mitchell Saltz, formerly Chief Executive Officer and currently a director of our company (the “Saltz Warrant”). The value of the warrants were expensed upon issuance. The Saltz Warrant, which contained a cashless exercise provision, entitled Mr. Saltz to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.89 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein, at any time from the date of issuance until five years from the date of issuance.

      In consideration for past services to our company, including services rendered in connection with the acquisition of Smith & Wesson Corp., we issued a common stock purchase warrant, dated May 11, 2001 to Robert L. Scott, a former officer and current director of our company (the “Scott Warrant”). The value of the warrants were expensed upon issuance. The Scott Warrant, which contained a cashless exercise provision, entitled Mr. Scott to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.89 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein, at any time from the date of issuance until five years from the date of issuance.

      During the year ended April 30, 2005, Mr Scott exercised 311,250 warrants on a cashless basis resulting in 200,000 common shares issued. As a result, at April 30, 2005, the unexercised Saltz and Scott warrants were 9,688,750 as shown in the table below. Subsequently, in May 2005, Mr. Scott determined to exercise these warrants on a gross basis and paid the $0.89 cash exercise price for the 200,000 shares received. As a result, Mr. Scott exercised 200,000 warrants on a gross exercise basis rather than 311,250 warrants on a cashless exercise basis. As a result, we reinstated 111,250 warrants as unexercised warrants in May 2005.

SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      During May 2005, we amended the Saltz and Scott warrants to eliminate the cashless exercise feature, which permitted the warrants to be net share settled. The effect of this modification was determined not to cause incremental compensation cost.

      Subsequently, Mr. Saltz exercised warrants to purchase 500,000 shares and Mr. Scott exercised warrants to purchase 329,700 shares on a gross basis for a purchase price of $738,433 resulting in 8,970,300 unexercised warrants at September 12, 2005.

      On September 12, 2005, we entered into an agreement under which Messrs. Saltz and Scott tendered their unexercised warrants to purchase 8,970,300 shares to us in exchange for a cash payment of $2.67 per share, or $23,950,701 in total, their market value at that time. Therefore, the repurchase purchase of these warrants on September 12, 2005 did not result in additional compensation expense.

      The following outlines the activity related to the warrants for the periods indicated:

      We have two employee incentive compensation plans (“the SOPs”): the 2001 Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan. New grants under the 2001 Stock Option Plan were not made following the approval of the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan at our September 13, 2004 annual meeting of stockholders. All new grants covering all participants are issued under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan. The 2004 Incentive Stock Plan authorizes the issuance of the lesser of (1) 15% of the shares of our common stock outstanding from time to time; or (2) 10,000,000 shares of our common stock, and is available for issuance pursuant to options granted to acquire common stock, the direct granting of restricted common stock and deferred stock units, the granting of stock appreciation rights, and the granting of dividend equivalents. The Board of Directors, or a committee established by the Board administers the SOPs, selects recipients to whom awards or options are granted, and determines the number of grants to be awarded. Awards or options granted under the SOPs are exercisable at a price determined by the Board or committee at the time of grant, but in no event less than fair market value of our common stock on the date granted. Grants of awards or options may be made to employees and directors without regard to any performance measures. All awards or options issued pursuant to the SOPs are nontransferable and subject to forfeiture. Unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors, the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan will terminate at such time as no shares of common stock remain available for issuance under the plan and our company has no further rights or obligations with respect to outstanding awards under the plan. The date of grant of an award or options are deemed to be the date upon which the Board of Directors or Board committee authorizes the granting of such award or option. Generally, options vest over a period of three years. The options are exercisable for a period of 10 years. The plan also allows for option grants to non-employees, which from time to time the Board has in the past granted.

      The number of shares and weighted average exercise prices of options granted under the SOPs and an employee grant outside of the SOPs for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

      A summary of stock options outstanding, vested, and exercisable at July 31, 2006 follows:

      We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which authorizes the sale of up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to employees. The ESPP commenced on June 24, 2002 and continues in effect for a term of 10 years unless sooner terminated. The ESPP was implemented by a series of offering periods of two years duration, with four six-month purchase periods in the offering period. The plan was amended in September 2004 such that future offering periods, commencing with the October 1, 2004 offering period, will be six months consistent with the six month purchase period. The purchase price is 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the offering date or on the purchase date, whichever is lower. A participant may elect to have payroll deductions made on each payday during the offering period in an amount not less than 1% and not more than 20% (or such greater percentage as the Board may establish from time to time before an offering date) of such participant’s compensation on each payday during the offering period. The last day of each offering period will be the purchase date for such offering period. An offering period commencing on April 1 ends on the next September 30. An offering period commencing on October 1 ends on the next March 31. The Board of Directors has the power to change the duration and/or the frequency of offering and purchase periods with respect to future offerings and purchases without stockholder approval if such change is announced at least five days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first offering period to be affected. The maximum number of shares an employee may purchase during each purchase period is 12,500 shares. All options and rights to participate in the ESPP are nontransferable and subject to forfeiture in accordance with the ESPP guidelines. In the event of certain corporate transactions, each option outstanding under the ESPP will be assumed or an equivalent option will be substituted by the successor corporation or a

SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation. During the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, no shares were purchased under the ESPP.

      During the year ended April 30, 2005, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. We elected the modified retrospective application method in adopting SFAS 123(R), which resulted in the restatement of prior period amounts in order to present comparable compensation data. In accordance with SFAS 123(R), we have calculated the fair value of our stock options and warrants issued to employees using the Black-Scholes model at the time the options and warrants were granted. That amount is then amortized over the vesting period of the option or warrant. With our ESPP, fair value is determined at the beginning of the purchase period and amortized over the term of the offering period.

      The following assumptions were used in valuing our options and ESPP:

      We estimate expected volatility using historical volatility for the expected term. The fair value of each stock option or ESPP purchase was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the quarter ended July 31, 2005 was $3.49, there were no options granted during the quarter ended July 31, 2006. The weighted-average fair value of ESPP shares granted during the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 was $1.70 and $0.80, respectively. The total stock-based compensation expense related to SFAS 123(R), including stock options, employee stock purchase plan, and restricted stock unit awards, was approximately $691,000 and $276,000 for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses.

      During the quarter ended July 31, 2006, we granted 360,000 restricted stock units, or RSUs, to current employees. The aggregate fair market value of our RSU grants is being amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period (three years). Compensation expense recognized related to grants of RSUs to certain employees was approximately $162,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2006. As of July 31, 2006, there was approximately $2.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 2.8 years.

Overview

      Please refer to the Overview found in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2006. This Overview sets forth key management objectives and key performance indicators used by management as well as key industry data tracked by management.

First Quarter Fiscal 2007 Highlights

      Net product sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 were $47.6 million, a $15.8 million, or 49.5%, increase over net product sales of $31.8 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2005. Firearms sales, our core business, increased for the quarter by $15.8 million, or 54.0%, compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005.

      Net income for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 was $3.4 million compared with $2.7 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2005. Net income for the quarter ended July 31, 2005 included a $3.1 million environmental reserve reduction. This environmental adjustment had an after-tax impact of approximately $1.9 million.

      Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 34.7% for the quarter. This was consistent with gross profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and a significant improvement over the 29.4% gross profit percentage for the quarter ended July 31, 2005.

      We completed shipment of the largest M&P pistol order to date with 5,700 M&P 40 pistols going to the North Carolina Department of Corrections.

      In August 2003, we decided to amend various reports previously filed with the SEC to modify certain accounting matters related to our acquisition of Smith & Wesson Corp. We decided to restate our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002 as well as our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended July 31, 2001 and 2002, October 31, 2001 and 2002, and July 31, 2002 and 2003. The Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2003 was filed in December 2003 and included restated financial statements for fiscal 2002. The amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the July and October quarters were filed in July 2004, and the amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the July quarters were filed in March 2004. The SEC is conducting an informal inquiry regarding the circumstances surrounding the restatement. We are cooperating fully with the SEC in this inquiry. The inquiry is still ongoing. There has been no change in the status of this investigation during the quarter ended July 31, 2006.

Results of Operations

Net Product and Services Sales

      The following table sets forth certain information relating to net product and services sales for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005:

      We recorded net product and services sales of $47,604,449 for the quarter ended July 31, 2006, an increase of $15,754,726, or 49.5%, over the quarter ended July 31, 2005. Firearms sales increased by $15,843,818, or 54.0%, over the comparable quarter last year. Non-firearm sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 decreased by $89,092, or 3.5%, compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005 due to lower specialty services sales, partially offset by higher handcuff sales.

      Revolver sales increased by $834,701, or 6.3%, for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 to $14,098,090, compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005. The increase resulted from a 11.8% increase in units sold, primarily in the sporting trade channel. The increase in the number of states adopting concealed carry laws has increased demand for our small frame revolvers. This has resulted in a lower average unit price, as the first quarter of last year included the introduction of the Model 460 revolver, whose selling price is approximately double that of the small frame revolvers. The revolver order backlog was $4,152,807 at July 31, 2006 compared with $8,973,700 at July 31, 2005.

      Pistol sales of $17,345,254 were $7,895,105, or 83.5% higher, for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 than for the quarter ended July 31, 2005. The increase in pistol sales was attributable to the introduction of the M&P pistol as well as the government contract for Sigma pistols for the Afghanistan National Police. The M&P accounted for 63.9% of the increase in pistol sales. The pistol order backlog was at $15,359,409 at July 31, 2006 compared with $2,447,084 at July 31, 2005.

      We are the exclusive U.S. distributor of Walther firearms. Walther firearms sales increased by $2,465,205, or 73.0%, for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005. The increase in Walther sales was attributable to higher demand across all product lines, particularly the P22 and PPK pistols. We believe that the restructuring of our commercial sales force in fiscal 2006 is responsible for the increase in the Walther line. Walther order backlog was $1,494,334 at July 31, 2006 compared with $1,324,527 at July 31, 2005.

      Performance Center sales increased by $407,130, or 24.7%, for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 to $2,054,619 compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005. Custom variations of the Model 460 were responsible for the increase in sales. The Performance Center had an order backlog of $1,562,428 at July 31, 2006 compared with $1,868,548 at July 31, 2005.

      Engraving sales increased by $1,362,325, or 132.9% to $2,387,223 for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005. This increase resulted from the sale of commemorative revolvers featuring our Model 460.

      We began shipments of our M&P 15 tactical rifle in February 2006. Sales of our M&P 15 rifles were $2,137,183 for the quarter ended July 31, 2006. Twenty police agencies have selected the M&P 15, and another six departments have approved the M&P 15, for on-duty carry. In addition, we have received requests from approximately 55 law enforcement agencies for test and evaluation. The backlog for tactical rifles was $8,592,346 at July 31, 2006.

      Sales through our sporting goods distribution channel were approximately $32.2 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2006, an increase of 36.7% over the comparable period last year. Law enforcement sales and federal government sales were approximately $10.9 million, a $7.4 million increase over the quarter ended July 31, 2005. International sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 of $3.6 million were up slightly over the comparable quarter last year. The focus of many law enforcement agencies is on the M&P pistol. To date, 59 law enforcement agencies have selected the M&P pistol and another 23 have selected the M&P and are awaiting funding. Another 24 agencies have approved the M&P pistol for on-duty carry. In addition, over 140 agencies have requested samples for test and evaluation. Most of these evaluations were still in process as of July 31, 2006.

Licensing Revenue

      The following table sets forth certain information relating to licensing revenue for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005:

      Licensing revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 decreased by $401,592, or 50.2%, compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005. Licensing income for the quarter ended July 31, 2005 included a benefit of $350,000 as a result of an audit we conducted on one of our licensees. During the quarter ended July 31, 2006 we added two new licensees (Law Enforcement Associates and Mill Street), and terminated our agreements with two existing licensees.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

      The following table sets forth certain information regarding cost of revenue and gross profit for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005:

      Gross profit for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 increased by $7,079,226, or 73.8%, compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005. The higher sales volume was responsible for the increase in gross profit. In addition, we realized substantial benefits because we leveraged our fixed costs. While sales increased by 49.5% for the quarter ended July 31, 2006, fixed costs (manufacturing salaries, depreciation, insurance, and utilities) only increased by 18.6%. Utility costs for the quarter increased by $440,883, or 64.7%, over the comparable quarter last year, reflecting rising energy costs. Depreciation expense for the quarter increased by $354,797 compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005 as a result of the increased capital spending in fiscal 2006.

      Gross profit, as a percentage of net product and services sales and license revenue, increased from 29.4% for the quarter ended July 31, 2005 to 34.7% for the quarter ended July 31, 2006.

Operating Expenses

      The following table sets forth certain information regarding operating expenses for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005:

      Operating expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 increased by $6,013,063, or 125.7%, over the quarter ended July 31, 2005. Operating expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 2005 included a $3,087,810 reduction in our environmental reserves as a result of the completion of remediation on a parcel of land that we sold to the City of Springfield. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the city agreed to remediate the property, but we still had a potential liability until that remediation was completed and we maintained a reserve for that potential liability. The remediation was completed in May 2005 and as a result we released reserves that had been previously established to remediate that property. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $761,655 because of our investment in additional resources to increase our market penetration in the law enforcement and federal government channels. General and administrative expense increased by $2,035,344 for the quarter ended July 31, 2006. The increase in general and administrative expense was attributable to $793,962 in increased spending on cash compensation and fringes and $727,242 in additional profit sharing expense. We also incurred $691,050 in stock option expense relative to SFAS 123(R), an increase of $415,550 over the amount incurred in the quarter ended July 31, 2005.

      Operating expenses, as a percentage of net product and services sales and license revenue, increased by 7.9% to 22.5% for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005.

Income from Operations

      The following table sets forth certain information regarding income from operations for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005:

      Income from operations was $5,882,904 for the quarter ended July 31, 2006, a $1,066,163, or 22.1%, increase compared with operating income of $4,816,741 for the quarter ended July 31, 2005. The increase was due primarily to the higher sales volume. As indicated above, operating expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 2005 included a $3,087,810 reduction in environmental reserves.

Other Income/ Expense

      Other expense totaled $123,737 for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 compared with other income of $42,891 for the quarter ended July 31, 2005. Foreign exchange losses for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 totaled $132,063 compared with an exchange gain of $25,810 for the quarter ended July 31, 2005. The exchange activity resulted from inventory purchases from Walther, which are billed in Euros. We purchase forward contracts to hedge against exchange fluctuation and record mark-to-market adjustments on the contracts accordingly.

      Interest income of $30,711 for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 represented an increase of $12,207 compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005.

Interest Expense

      The following table sets forth certain information regarding interest expense for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005:

      Interest expense declined for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 by $204,376. Interest expense for the quarter ended July 31, 2005 included a $210,968 write-off of debt issuance costs. Total debt outstanding as of July 31, 2006 was $18,615,007 compared with $16,028,401 on April 30, 2006.

Income Taxes

      Income tax expense of $2,075,601 for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 increased $434,065 compared with income tax expense of $1,641,536 for the quarter ended July 31, 2005. The effective rates for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 were 38.1% and 37.9%, respectively.

Net Income

      The following table sets forth certain information regarding net income and the related per share data for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005:

      The increase in net income and net income per share for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005 resulted from the higher sales volume, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Pre-tax income for the quarter ended July 31, 2005 included the $3,087,810 environmental reserve reduction, which accounted for approximately $1.9 million of net income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Our principal cash requirements are to finance the growth of our firearms and licensing operations and to service our existing debt. Capital expenditures for new products, capacity expansion, and process improvements represent important cash needs.

      The following table sets forth certain information relative to cash flow for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and 2005:

      Operating activities represent the principal source of our cash flow. The $620,979 increase in cash from operating activities for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 was primarily a result of the higher net income. In the quarter ended July 31, 2005, $3,087,810 of the pre-tax income came from a reduction in our environmental reserve, a non-cash transaction. The accounts receivable balance at July 31, 2006 was $27,000,226 compared with $17,980,621 at July 31, 2005. This reflects an increase in sales for the month of July, which were

approximately $8.7 million higher year-over-year. Inventory during the quarter ended July 31, 2006 increased by approximately $4.0 million. As a result of factory capacity constraints, we traditionally build inventory in the first quarter in anticipation of increased demand later in the fiscal year.

      Cash used for investing activities increased by $1,151,350 for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 compared with the quarter ended July 31, 2005. Capital spending for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 was $3,410,079 compared with $2,299,620 for the quarter ended July 31, 2005, an increase of $1,110,459. We expect to spend approximately $13.0 million on capital expenditures in fiscal 2007. The major capital expenditures will focus on increasing pistol production capacity to meet increased demand, primarily our pistol product line, tooling for new product offerings, and various projects designed to increase capacity and upgrade manufacturing technology.

      The $834,401 increase in cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 resulted from higher stock compensation expense as well as an increase in short-term borrowings. Short-term bank borrowings totaled $3.0 million at July 31, 2006 compared with $2.5 million at July 31, 2005. The increase was attributable to higher capital spending. We paid $413,394 against the long-term notes payable to BankNorth, our primary bank during the quarter ended July 31, 2006.

      As of July 31, 2006, we had $1,259,476 in cash and cash equivalents on hand. We have a $17.0 million credit facility with TD BankNorth to support letters of credit, working capital needs, and capital expenditures. We have been approved for and are in the process of finalizing an agreement with TD BankNorth for an additional line of $30.0 million to fund acquisitions.

Other Matters

      The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2006. The most significant areas involving our judgments and estimates are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2006, to which there have been no material changes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition and will become effective for us for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of FIN 48.

      We have purchased Euro participating forward option contracts to minimize the fluctuations in exchange rates when purchasing finished goods and components from a European supplier. Participating forward options provide full protection against the depreciation of the U.S. dollar and partial benefit from the appreciation of the U.S. dollar. If the Euro strengthens above the average rate, we will not pay more than the average rate. If the Euro weakens below the average rate, 50% of the Euros are at the average rate and the remaining 50% of the Euros are paid for at the spot rate. As of July 31, 2006, we had three 600,000 Euros option contracts

remaining, with the last expiring in October 2006. During the three months ended July 31, 2006, we experienced a net gain of $38,000 on hedging transactions that were executed during the period. As of July 31, 2006, the fair market value of outstanding derivatives was an asset of approximately $27,000 versus a liability of $136,000 as of July 31, 2005.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

      We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act, disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We formed a disclosure committee in the fall of 2002 that includes senior financial, operational, and legal personnel charged with assisting the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in overseeing the accuracy and timeliness of the periodic reports filed under the Security Exchange Act and in evaluating regularly our disclosure controls and procedures.

      Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of July 31, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in that they were reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Security Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

      The following describes material updates to previously reported cases since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2006.

NEW CASES

      No new cases of a material nature were filed against us during the quarter ended July 31, 2006.

CASES DISMISSED OR RESOLVED

      The following previously reported case has been finally adjudicated in our favor:

      Michael and Billie Sue Pavelka v. Beretta U.S.A. Corp., et al., in the Superior Court for the State of California, for the County of Los Angeles. On May 19, 2006, the court granted our motion to dismiss based on the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. Notice of entry of the judgment was given to plaintiffs on August 14, 2006. Plaintiffs agreed to waive their right to appeal in exchange for the defendants’ waiver of costs.

CASES ON APPEAL

      The rulings in the following cases are still subject to certain pending appeals. Tenedora Tuma, S.A. v. Smith & Wesson Corp., in the Civil and Commercial Court of the First District of the Court of First Instance of the National District, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The plaintiff commenced this suit by submitting a request for a preliminary reconciliation hearing. After two preliminary reconciliation hearings, the Reconciliation Committee issued a Certificate of Lack of Agreement. Thereafter, a Summons and Notice of Claim was issued to us on January 17, 2000. The plaintiff alleged we terminated its distributor agreement without just cause and sought damages of 20 million pesos, or approximately $600,000, for alleged violations of Dominican Republic Law 173 for the Protection of Importers of Merchandise and Products. Briefing on the merits was completed in the trial court in November 2002. On June 7, 2004, the court granted our Motion to Dismiss in its entirety. Notification of the judgment was filed on August 10, 2004. On or about September 9, 2004, plaintiff purportedly appealed the decision. On March 3, 2005, we were informed that a hearing had been held in the Court of Appeals on October 27, 2004, without notification to our counsel or us and that the merits of plaintiff’s appeal have been taken under advisement by that court. On June 23, 2005, a hearing was held wherein we attempted to re-open the appeal based on the lack of service of the appeal papers on us. On or about November 11, 2005, the Court of Appeals rendered a final decision. The Court refused plaintiff’s arguments on appeal and upheld our petitions, confirming all aspects of the Judgment rendered by the Court of First Instance in our favor. On January 12, 2006, plaintiff appealed to the Supreme Court in the Dominican Republic. Our response was filed on February 10, 2006. A hearing is scheduled before the Supreme Court on October 11, 2006.

PROTECTION OF LAWFUL COMMERCE IN ARMS ACT

      On October 26, 2005, President George W. Bush signed into law the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (“PLCAA”). The PLCAA is designed to prohibit civil liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages, injunctions, or other relief resulting from the misuse of their products by others. The legislation provides that any qualified civil liability action pending on the date of the enactment of the legislation shall be immediately dismissed, and it precludes similar cases from being brought in the future. The legislation excludes from the definition of a qualified civil liability action any action for death, physical injuries, or property damages resulting directly from a defect in design or manufacture of the product when it is used as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable manner, except that where the discharge of the product was caused by a volitional act that constituted a criminal offense, then such action will be considered the sole proximate cause of any resulting death, personal injuries or property damage. There have been constitutional and other challenges to the legislation in some of the pending cases, and there has yet to be an appellate decision interpreting the constitutionality or applicability of the PLCAA. Therefore, we cannot predict with any certainty the impact that the PLCAA will ultimately have on the pending cases.
