                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

     Forte Computer Easy, Inc. (the "Company") is a Utah corporation with
operating subsidiaries: Forte, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Forte") and American
Architectural Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AAP").

     The Company has been engaged in the business of manufacturing residential,
commercial and architectural windows and doors (also known as "fenestration"
products) since the acquisition of Forte in 1994. The Company was previously
engaged in the businesses of computer software publishing and computer disk
duplication and fulfillment; however, as described below, the Company has
discontinued its operations in these businesses and concentrated its efforts on
the fenestration business. Management of the Company concluded, for the reasons
described below, that the long-term interests of the Company would be best
served if the Company discontinued its operations in these businesses.
Accordingly, in November of 1995 and August of 1996, respectively, the Company
entered into transactions to dispose of its software publishing and disk
duplication/fulfillment businesses.

     The original business of the Company was conducted by Computer Easy, Inc.,
an Arizona corporation which was incorporated on August 2, 1983. Empire Oil,
Inc., a Utah corporation and predecessor of the Company, acquired the stock of
Computer Easy, Inc. in 1984. In September of 1985, the assets of Computer Easy,
Inc. were assigned to Empire Oil, Inc., the name of the surviving corporation
was subsequently changed to Computer Easy International, Inc. and the separate
existence of Computer Easy, Inc. was terminated. The name of the Company was
changed from Computer Easy International, Inc., to Forte Computer Easy, Inc. as
of January 3, 1995.

     On December 18, 1996, the Company acquired one hundred percent (100%) of
the issued and outstanding common stock of AAP through a reverse acquisition.
AAP and its operating units consist of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. ("Eagle"),
Taylor Building Products Company ("Taylor") and Mallyclad Corp. and Vyn-L
Corporation ("Mallyclad"). AAP was formed on June 19, 1996 for the purpose of
acquiring Eagle and Taylor as a foundation for penetrating the architectural
products industry and capitalizing on the consolidation of small to
middle-market companies to provide a broad product offering to fenestration
customers.

     The Company intends to change its name, subject to shareholder approval, to
more accurately reflect the current nature of its business.

     The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1350 Albert
Street, Youngstown, Ohio 44505, and the Company's telephone number is (330)
746-1331.

Description of Business

     Forte Computer Easy, Inc. is not directly engaged in business operations.
The business of the Company is conducted through Forte and AAP. AAP includes the
Eagle Window & Door, Taylor Building Products Company and Mallyclad. Mallyclad
was merged into AAP prior to the acquisition of AAP by the Company. The
following diagram reflects the Company's current structure.

                      --------------      ------------------


     The Company has been principally engaged in the fenestration business since
the acquisition of Forte in 1994. The Company and the AAP operating divisions
commenced business at various times. Forte began manufacturing fenestration
products in 1990, Eagle in 1977, Taylor in 1946, and Mallyclad recently has
expanded the scope of its business to enter the fenestration industry.

     The current business of the Company consists of the manufacturing and
distribution of a wide variety of fenestration products, including doors,
windows, security screens, storm doors and screen doors. The Company continually
strives to improve its products and to refine its product mix to better meet the
demands of its customers. As discussed below under "Business Strategy",
management believes changes in the fenestration industry will provide the
Company with significant opportunities for future growth.

     Forte was formed to fill a perceived gap which developed in the commercial
fenestration market as a result of a number of plant closings and mergers among
manufacturers of commercial fenestration products. The original market targeted
by Forte was renovation and retrofit products, as opposed to new construction.
The first products developed by Forte placed great emphasis on energy savings
and security through sales of thermally improved replacement windows and window
protection screens of high grade construction, safe operation and
architecturally aesthetic appeal. The original product line of Forte consisted
of a variety of product variations with numerous applications, including
security screen lines, security screen door lines, storm door lines and storm
window lines.

     Forte acquired various product line offerings in the early 1990's. In
October of 1991, Forte purchased the commercial window product lines and a glass
insulating product line of Airmaster Corporation. This transaction was
consummated in early 1992 and the product lines were moved to Forte's
headquarters in Youngstown, Ohio, at which time Forte began to do business as
"Forte/Airmaster."

     In July of 1993, Forte acquired from Season-All Industries, Inc.
("Season-All") machinery and equipment related to certain commercial window
product lines, select inventories, and other related assets. In addition, Forte
was assigned major retrofit contracts from Season-All.


                                       2
<PAGE>   6



     Upon the closing of the Season-All acquisition described above, Forte made
arrangements with AMAS, Inc., an affiliated Ohio corporation ("AMAS") which
owned a building located at 1450 Albert Street, Youngstown, Ohio (the "AMAS
Building") adjacent to the office and manufacturing plant of Forte, to lease
from AMAS approximately 120,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space in
that facility. Forte began production in the AMAS Building in the fall of 1994.

     All of the issued and outstanding common stock of Forte was acquired by the
Company on June 8, 1994, in exchange for 33,110,092 shares of the Company's
common stock and options to acquire 4,881,918 shares of the Company's common
stock, based upon an approximate net book value of Forte of $3.6 million. In
connection with the Company's acquisition of Forte, AMAS was merged into Forte.
The shareholders of AMAS, received 1.660 shares of Forte common stock in
exchange for each outstanding share of AMAS common stock.

     AAP was incorporated on June 19, 1996 and had no significant operations or
assets until it acquired Eagle Window and Door, Inc. and Taylor Building
Products Company on August 29, 1996. Both Eagle and Taylor were merged into AAP
on August 29, 1996. AAP acquired the stock and certain assets and liabilities of
Eagle and Taylor from MascoTech, Inc. The purchase price approximated
$22,000,000. Eagle is based in Dubuque, Iowa and manufactures and distributes
aluminum clad and all wood windows and doors. Taylor is based in West Branch,
Michigan and manufactures entry and garage doors.

     On October 25, 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") with AAP Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("AAPH") and parent of AAP. The transaction contemplated by
the Reorganization Agreement was consummated on December 18, 1996. Pursuant to
the Reorganization Agreement, the Company acquired one hundred percent (100%) of
the issued and outstanding common stock of AAP in exchange for 1,000,000 shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") of the Company.
The Preferred Stock is convertible into 75,486,324 shares of the Company's
common stock which is equal to sixty percent (60%) of the issued and outstanding
common stock of the Company on the closing date of the transaction. In addition,
the Company issued to AAPH options to purchase 8,798,322 shares which is equal
to 1.5 times the number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to
options previously issued by the Company which were outstanding on the closing
date of the transaction. Such options are identical in price and exercise terms
to the previously outstanding options. The Company and AAPH also agreed that
Mallyclad Corp. and Vyn-L Corporation, which were separate companies controlled
by AAPH's ultimate controlling shareholder, would be merged into AAP prior to
the completion of this transaction.

     The conversion ratio of the Preferred Stock was negotiated between the
Company and AAPH based upon, among other things, the estimated fair market
values of the respective entities as well as the synergies of management and
operations.

     On June 25, 1996, the controlling shareholder of AAPH acquired ownership of
Mallyclad. The purchase price was approximately $1,009,000. On December 18,
1996, Mallyclad was merged into AAP in accordance with the previous agreement
between AAPH and the Company.

     AAP is engaged in the fenestration manufacturing business through its
principal operating divisions, Eagle and Taylor. Eagle's primary product line
consists of aluminum clad and all-wood window and door products which are
targeted to high-end residential and certain "institutional" niche markets.
Taylor's primary products consist of urethane-insulated steel entry doors and
polystyrene-insulated steel garage doors. Management expects the acquisition of
AAP to dramatically increase the Company's sales volume and to significantly
enhance the Company's competitive and strategic position in the manufacture and
distribution of windows, doors and other fenestration products.

     Eagle was formed in 1977, when a facility formerly operated by Caradco,
another window manufacturer, was vacated. Caradco had operated a window plant at
the current Eagle location but, in 1977, moved its operations to a new location.
Eagle was conceived to take advantage of Caradco's vacant operations and launch
a new line of "high end" windows for custom homes. Eagle's founder was Windor,
Inc., a former distributor of Caradco products.

     MascoTech, Inc. acquired Eagle in 1987 and Eagle became a part of MascoTech
Inc.'s architectural products group of building products manufacturers. Eagle
greatly expanded its product line offering to keep pace with changing style


                                       3

trends and competition. Despite its product offering, Eagle's results were
adversely impacted by its growing complexity of its operations and general
market conditions. On August 29, 1996, Eagle was acquired by AAP.

     As stated above, Taylor's primary products consist of urethane-insulated
steel entry doors and polystyrene-insulated steel garage doors. Taylor began
building entry doors in 1962 and garage doors in 1946. Taylor operated as Taylor
Door Co., a privately held company, until MascoTech, Inc. purchased the
operating unit in 1987. MascoTech, Inc. combined this purchase with other
product lines, including Perma Door, and consolidated various operating units
throughout the country into the Taylor location. During this time, Taylor
automated its manufacturing process and continued to reduce its product offering
to optimize profitability. Taylor continued to operate as a separate production
facility within the MascoTech Inc. architectural products group until the
purchase by AAP on August 29, 1996.

     Mallyclad and Vyn-L process and manufacture vinyl clad steel and aluminum
coils and cut-to-length sheets. Primary markets are the construction, appliance
and automotive industries.

     The following table sets forth sales by product class for the Company. The
data of the Company for 1996 represent sales from the date of inception (June
19, 1996) to December 31, 1996. The proforma data for 1995 and 1996 represent
sales assuming that the acquisitions of Eagle, Taylor and Mallyclad by AAP,
and the reverse acquisition between AAP and the Company occurred on January 1,
1995.

     The Company's operating subsidiaries currently market their products
primarily in the continental United States. Eagle, the Company's largest
operating division, also exports window and door products to Mexico and the
Pacific Rim. Although currently not significant, the Company plans to increase
exports of products as opportunities arise. Eagle currently services over one
hundred distributor customers, most of whom sell the products to building
contractors or homeowners. Approximately two-thirds of Eagle's sales are
attributable to high-end new residential construction markets, and the remainder
to light commercial construction and renovation markets. Taylor has designed a
marketing program for its steel entry doors incorporating retail display,
merchandising and training its distributors, primarily lumberyards and home
centers. Taylor also sells garage door panels to installing garage door dealers.
Mallyclad manufacturers vinyl metal laminates for a wide variety of end uses,
including production of vinyl metal doors, commercial roofing products and vinyl
clad metals for various applications. Products are marketed through
manufacturers representatives located throughout the United States. Forte
markets its products through a combination of sales representatives, direct
marketing and bidding on publicly advertised projects. The Company plans to
integrate its operating subsidiaries' products into the existing distribution
channels and markets of each of its constituent companies.

     While the impact of certain customers may be significant to a specific
operating unit of the Company, the Company as a consolidated unit is not
dependent on any single customer or small group of customers and does not expect
to derive a substantial portion of its sales from such customers. The Company
projects that Eagle will account for approximately 54% of total sales in 1997.
In 1996, Eagle's largest customer accounted for only 6% of its total sales and
Eagle's ten largest customers accounted for less than half of its total sales.
The Company projects that Taylor will account for approximately 30% of total
sales in 1997. In 1996, Taylor's largest customer accounted for only 11% of its
total sales and its ten largest customers accounted for only 51% of Taylor's
sales. The Company projects that Forte will account for approximately 9% of
total sales in 1997. In 1996, Forte substantially completed a contract which
accounted for 23% of Forte's sales. Because of the different nature of Forte's
sales pattern, that of specific contract orders rather than repeat customers,
the Company cannot accurately forecast whether any customer will account for a
substantial portion of Forte's sales in the future. Mallyclad, which the Company
projects to generate approximately 7% of total sales in 1997, is, like Taylor
and Eagle, not dependent on any particular customer or customers. In 1996,
Mallyclad's largest customer accounted for only 8% of its total sales and its
ten largest customers accounted for less than half of its total sales.

     The fenestration industry is highly competitive. The Company competes for
customers with other window manufacturers, door manufacturers and assemblers of
related products, many of which have significantly greater


                                       4
<PAGE>   8



financial, marketing and other resources than the Company. The Company estimates
that the residential fenestration industry generates approximately $6.5 billion
in sales annually, of which the Company's market share is small. The Company's
sales, however, have begun to grow as the Company has expanded through 
acquisition.

     The Company is working towards improving its competitive position in the
market in several ways. It has begun to exploit each operating unit's existing
distribution channels and market bases by coordinating the distribution of
products through such channels. The Company's operating units also are targeting
geographic market expansion. In addition, Eagle and Taylor have organized sales
training and development programs for retailers. Taylor recently implemented a
marketing strategy, unique in the industry, of selling steel garage door panels
rather than selling complete door units. The Company believes this strategy
eliminates the overhead associated with carrying garage door hardware and
capitalizes on a trend of garage door dealers purchasing hardware directly from
manufacturers rather than purchasing total packages. In addition, the company
expects that Mallyclad's specially designed laminating facility will provide
certain competitive advantages over many other laminators in the vinyl metal
door business. Mallyclad also plans to take advantage of the replacement of tar
and pebble commercial roofing with complete vinyl film systems.

     During the second quarter of 1997, the Company will be seeking shareholder
approval of a reincorporation of the Company in Delaware from Utah and the
change of the Company's name to American Architectural Products Corporation. For
many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in that
State. In furtherance of that policy, Delaware has adopted comprehensive modern
and flexible corporate laws which periodically are updated and revised to meet
changing business needs. As a result, many major corporations initially have
chosen Delaware for their domicile or subsequently have reincorporated in
Delaware in a manner similar to that proposed by the Company. Delaware courts
have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a
substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and
establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations. The
favorable business corporation laws of Delaware should benefit the Company by
allowing it to conduct its affairs in a more flexible and efficient manner.
Additionally, neither the Company's principal offices nor any of the Company's
employees are located in Utah and, as such, the Company has no important ties to
or presence in Utah that would make incorporation in Utah convenient for the
Company.

     On October 31, 1996, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire
all the outstanding shares of common stock of Western Insulated Glass, Co., an
Arizona corporation ("Western"). The transaction was consummated on March 14,
1997. Western manufactures and distributes custom aluminum windows and doors,
principally to the residential home market. The Company believes that the
acquisition of Western, located in Phoenix, Arizona, will broaden its geographic
penetration in the custom aluminum window industry. Western distributes its
products primarily in Arizona, Nevada and California. The Company also plans to
use Western to expand the geographic markets and increase sales volumes for its
Eagle and Taylor product lines by using Western as a distributor for these
products in the States presently serviced by Western. This will permit Western
to broaden its product offerings to include wood windows and patio doors, steel
entry doors, and garage doors.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

     Management believes consolidation in the fenestration manufacturing
industry presents significant growth opportunities for the Company. Although the
industry has historically been characterized by small, entrepreneurial
businesses scattered throughout the United States, the growing public demand for
more energy efficient windows and doors has resulted in increased manufacturing
costs. These increased costs and the competitive pressures brought about by
manufacturers' need for technology, computerization and enhanced marketing
efforts, have led to a shift away from small, independent manufacturers and
toward larger manufacturers that are able to spread higher costs across a broad
product line. The Company believes consolidation in the fenestration industry
will continue to accelerate and that this consolidation will present favorable
merger and acquisition opportunities.

     The Company's business plan contemplates that the Company will target as
acquisition candidates small and medium-sized, established fenestration
companies and related material manufacturers that are leaders in established
national or regional niche markets. The Company intends to pursue acquisition
candidates that produce fenestration products and related materials which
complement the Company's growth and marketing strategy. In evaluating
acquisition candidates, the Company will focus on those candidates that display
strong


                                       5
<PAGE>   9



growth potential, a stable customer base and predictable cash flows. Following
consummation of its acquisitions, the Company intends to implement financial and
operational improvements, product-line enhancements and synergistic acquisitions
to enhance the value of the acquired enterprises. The Company currently intends
to finance these acquisitions through a combination of senior bank borrowings
secured by assets of the target companies, subordinated debt or mezzanine debt
funded by institutional investors, and issuances of common and preferred stock
of the Company. The Company currently is discussing acquisition opportunities
with several companies.

     MANUFACTURING FACILITIES

     Forte currently conducts manufacturing operations in a 120,000 square foot
facility located in Youngstown, Ohio. AAP currently conducts manufacturing
operations at a 320,000 square foot facility located in Dubuque, Iowa and a
210,000 square foot facility located in West Branch, Michigan. AAP also operates
a 39,000 square foot manufacturing facility in the Detroit, Michigan area
through its Mallyclad division. Management believes the Company's current
manufacturing facilities are sufficient to meet its current and projected
manufacturing needs.

     DISCONTINUED BUSINESSES

     Prior to November of 1995, the Company was engaged in the computer software
publishing business through its operating division known as Computer Easy, Inc.
("CEI"). The business of CEI consisted primarily of publishing and marketing
applications software, educational software and entertainment software products
through major software distributors for resale in national software and computer
retail chain stores, discount stores, warehouse stores and other retail outlets.
CEI contracted with software developers to publish software programs, generally
on an exclusive worldwide basis. CEI also developed software in-house through
internal research and development and through contracting with independent
computer programmers to develop proprietary software products for CEI. After the
introduction by Microsoft Corporation of the new Windows 95 personal computer
operating system in 1995, CEI faced significant potential costs to modify its
software products to be compatible with the Windows 95 operating system. In
addition sales of the Company's software products had decreased significantly in
the preceding months as the market anticipated the release of Windows 95. As a
result, although the software publishing business historically generated a
significant portion of the Company's revenues, management of the Company
concluded that it was in the best long-term interest of the Company to
discontinue the operations of the software publishing division. On August 30,
1995, the Company reached a tentative agreement to sell assets constituting the
principal software publishing business of CEI to International Microcomputer
Software, Inc. ("IMSI"). The parties subsequently entered into a definitive
Purchase Agreement, and the closing of the transaction occurred on November 3,
1995.

     Prior to August of 1996, the Company was also engaged in the computer disk
duplication and fulfillment business through a wholly owned subsidiary known as
Arizona Disk Fulfillment, Inc. ("ADF"). ADF was originally incorporated under
the laws of Arizona on November 1, 1991. The Company acquired all of the issued
and outstanding common stock of ADF in June of 1994. ADF's largest customer was
CEI, and the discontinuance of the Company's software publishing business in
1995 (as discussed above) had a significant adverse impact on ADF's operations.
In addition, ADF did not have CD-ROM duplication capabilities, which had an
increasing negative impact on ADF's operations as demand for CD-ROM based
software increased. As a result of these changes in ADF's business, the Company
concluded in late 1995 that it was in the best long-term interest of the Company
to discontinue the operations of its computer disk duplication and fulfillment
division through the divestiture of the Company's ownership of ADF. On August 5,
1996, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which it
agreed to sell one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding common
stock of ADF to Beverly and James W. Schmidt. Mr. Schmidt had served as
president of ADF since 1993. The sale of ADF by the Company was consummated in
August of 1996.

     INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

     In August of 1996, AAP acquired the stock of Eagle and Taylor. In
connection with the acquisitions, AAP acquired ownership to various domestic
patents, foreign patents, and select domestic patent applications. Additionally,
AAP acquired ownership to domestic trademark registrations, foreign trademark
registrations, domestic trademark applications and foreign trademark
applications. The patents are of the design and manufacturing types and the
trademark protection applies to entity name protection, as well as product name
and process type. The intellectual property is used in the on-going business of
AAP.

     EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had a total of 662 employees. Certain
employees of Taylor and Mallyclad are covered under collective bargaining
agreements. Eagle and Forte hourly employees are not currently covered under
collective bargaining agreements.

sufficient to meet its current and projected manufacturing needs.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The contingent legal liabilities of AAP are limited in scope. Presently,
Eagle is defending two (2) product warranty related suits:

          DALE BLEECHER AND MARLA BLEECHER V. EAGLE WINDOW & DOOR., ET L., CASE
          NO. 75638, IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR
          THE COUNTY OF NAPA. This case is based upon theories of Negligence,
          Breach of Express Warranty, Breach of Implied Warranty, Breech of
          Contract and Strict Liability for Defective Products. This matter is
          currently in the final phases of mediation pursuant to the California
          "fast track" rules. Management has aggressively defended the suit.

          DONALD L. BONE, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS TRUSTEE, BONE FAMILY TRUST V.
          EAGLE WINDOW & DOOR, INC., CASE NO. C96- 03950, IN THE SUPERIOR COURT
          OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA. This case is
          based upon theories of Breach of Implied Warranty, Breach of Express
          Warranty, Negligence in Manufacturer and Design, Strict Liability,
          Negligent Misrepresentation and Fraud. This matter is currently in the
          discovery phase of the litigation. Management is vigorously defending
          this action.

          CD WORLD PUBLISHING PLUS CORP. V. FORTE COMPUTER EASY, INC., AND
          ARIZONA DISK FULFILLMENT, INC., CASE NO. CV 96-91630, FILED IN THE
          MARICOPA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA. D. Jess Riddle, a former
          employee, is claiming a breach of agreement by the Company to provide
          services by its former subsidiary, Arizona Disk Fulfillment, Inc. and
          for failure to return glass CD masters belonging to CD World
          Publishing Plus Corp. The Company denies the claim. On September 11,
          1996, a counterclaim was filed on behalf of the Company asserting
          damages for breach of agreement, fraud and misrepresentation. The
          Company is vigorously defending this action.

          RLC FINANCIAL CORP V. FORTE COMPUTER EASY, INC., CASE IN ARBITRATION,
          MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA. This case is based on a dispute related to
          an interpretation of the terms of a Financing and Security Agreement
          dated March 1, 1994 and subsequent negotiations whereby RLC was to
          collect pledged receivables assigned from a discontinued operation of
          the Company. RLC has commenced arbitration proceedings against the
          Company to which the Company has objected. The Company is pursuing
          action against RLC in Mahoning County Court, Ohio and is vigorously
          defending against the arbitration proceedings. 


                                       7
<PAGE>   11



     Eagle is also a party to an action before the National Labor Relations
Board (the "NLRB"). In early 1996, the Eagle facility was subjected to a union
vote; a successful outcome of which would cause Eagle to recognize the
International Association of Machinists, AFL-CIO (the "Union") at its facility.
The Union vote was successful. In connection with this vote, however,
approximately 47 ballots were not included in the final tally and the outcome
was disputed. Shortly after the disputed outcome, the NLRB agreed to include 9
of the disputed ballots in the final vote. The NLRB refused to include the
remaining 38 ballots alleging that these ballots were cast by supervisors and
not appropriately included for purposes of the Union vote. Eagle contested this
analysis and the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in its favor. The NLRB did
not appeal this decision and the 47 disputed ballots will be included in the
final tally. Eagle is presently awaiting the results of this recount by the
NLRB.

         A former employee of the Company has filed a lawsuit against the
Company in Maricopa County (Arizona) Superior Court, seeking damages (trebled
under Arizona's wage statutes) in excess of $120,000 plus attorneys' fees. The
dispute arises out of a written employment agreement between the Company and the
former employee, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the former employee
a non-recoverable base draw of $36,000 per year. The former employee alleges
that the Company was also obligated to pay him a commission of 5% of his net
sales in addition to the base draw. The Company asserts that the commission is
payable against the base draw and has filed a counterclaim against the former
employee for approximately $54,000. The Company believes this suit is without
merit and is vigorously defending this position. The suit is scheduled for trial
on April 27, 1997.

         The Company is not a party to any other pending or, to the knowledge of
the Company, threatened legal proceedings that it believes will have a material
impact on the Company's business.

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

            The Company did not submit any matter to a vote of its security
holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

</TABLE>

     There were approximately 464 holders of record of the shares of the Company
as of February 20, 1997. The Company has never paid any dividends on its
outstanding common shares. The current Board of Directors of the Company does
not presently intend to implement a policy respecting the payment of regular
cash dividends on the common shares and it is unlikely that dividends will be
paid on the common shares in the immediate future. The Board of Directors will
review this policy from time to time depending on the financial condition of
the Company and other factors that the Board of Directors may consider
appropriate in the circumstances. In addition, the ability of the Company to pay
dividends is limited by various loan and financing agreements. As of December
31, 1996, options to purchase a total of 14,663,870 shares of the Company's
common stock were outstanding, including options to purchase 8,798,322 shares
issued to AAPH on December 18, 1996.

(1)  For financial reporting purposes, The Company represents AAP as after 
giving effect to the series of transactions described below.

AAP was formed in June 1996. Effective June 25, 1996, AAP's ultimate controlling
shareholder acquired Mallyclad and Vyn-L. Subsequently, on December 18, 1996,
Mallyclad and Vyn-L were merged into AAP. Based on the control maintained by
this shareholder, the merger was considered a transaction among companies under
common control and, accordingly, accounted for at the shareholder's historical
cost and included in the accounts of AAP effective June 25, 1996.

Effective August 29, 1996, AAP acquired Eagle and Taylor. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase with the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed
recorded at estimated fair values and the results of operations included in
AAP's financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Effective December 18, 1996, Forte Computer Easy, Inc. (FCEI) acquired all of
the outstanding stock of AAP in exchange for a 60% interest in FCEI. Based on
the controlling interest obtained by AAP's shareholder as a result of this
transaction and due to the relative size of AAP compared to FCEI, this
transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of FCEI by AAP (a reverse
acquisition in which AAP is considered the acquiror for accounting purposes).
Accordingly, the financial statements of the registrant for periods prior to
December 18, 1996 are those of AAP. The FCEI assets acquired and liabilities
assumed by AAP were recorded at their estimated fair values and the results of
FCEI's operations are included in the financial statements of AAP from the date
of the acquisition.

For purposes of presenting the selected financial data, Eagle and Taylor, and
Mallyclad and Vyn-L are considered to be predecessors and their financial data
are presented on a combined basis. The financial data for the period after the
acquisitions are presented on a different cost basis than the financial data
before the acquisitions and, therefore, are not comparable.

(2) Selected financial data for the predecessors for 1992 through 1995 were
derived from the combined financial statements of Eagle and Taylor for those
years, the financial statements of Mallyclad for the fiscal years ended November
30, 1992 through 1995, and the financial statements for Vyn-L for the fiscal
years ended February 28, 1993 through 1996. Selected financial data for the
predecessors for 1996 were derived from the combined financial statements of
Eagle and Taylor for the period January 1, 1996 through August 29, 1996, and the
financial statements of Mallyclad and Vyn-L for the period January 1, 1996
through June 30, 1996. Accordingly, the operating results of Vyn-L for the two
months ended February 28, 1996 are included in both the 1995 and 1996
predecessors columns; however, such amounts are not material.

(3) Selected financial data for the Company for 1996 were derived from the
financial statements of the Company for the period from June 1996 (inception)
through December 31, 1996. These financial statements include the operations of
Mallyclad and Vyn-L from June 25, 1996, and the operations of Eagle and Taylor
from August 29, 1996. The results of operations of FCEI and Subsidiary are
included in the Company's 1996 selected financial data from December 18, 1996.

(4) Selected financial data for Combined 1996 include the 1996 selected
financial data of the predecessors (note (2) above) and the 1996 selected
financial data of the Company (notes (1) and (3) above) without giving effect to
purchase accounting or the impact of financing and capitalization relating to
the acquisitions of Mallyclad and Vyn-L, Eagle and Taylor, and FCEI.

(5) Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October 25, 1996,
between FCEI and AAP Holdings, Inc., FCEI acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of AAP in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock. This Series A Preferred is convertible into an
aggregate number of shares of the common stock of FCEI equal to 60% of the
issued and outstanding common shares of FCEI at December 18, 1996, the closing
date of the acquisition of FCEI. Because the Series A Preferred (a) votes the
same and has the same dividend rights as if it were converted to common stock,
(b) was only labeled as preferred stock because sufficient shares of FCEI common
stock were not authorized to enable FCEI to issue common stock to AAP Holdings,
Inc., and (c) will convert into common shares pursuant to a plan to increase the
number of authorized common shares, it is considered to be in substance common
stock and is treated as such for purposes of computing the Company's net income
per common share.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BACKGROUND

Forte Computer Easy, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) is principally engaged
in the business of manufacturing residential, commercial and architectural
windows and doors through its wholly owned subsidiaries American Architectural
Products, Inc. (AAP) and Forte, Inc. (Forte).

Immediately prior to December 18, 1996, Forte Computer Easy, Inc. (FCEI) had a
single wholly owned operating subsidiary, Forte, based in Youngstown, Ohio. On
December 18, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated
October 25, 1996 between FCEI and AAP Holdings, Inc. (the Agreement), FCEI
acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of AAP in
exchange for 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of FCEI
(the Series A Preferred). Under the terms of the Agreement and the Series A
Preferred, AAP Holdings, Inc. obtained 60 percent of the voting control of FCEI.
Accordingly, although FCEI is the parent of AAP following the transaction, the
transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of AAP and a purchase by AAP
of FCEI (a reverse acquisition in which AAP is considered the acquirer for
accounting purposes), because the shareholders of AAP obtained a majority of the
voting rights in FCEI as a result of the transaction. Accordingly, the financial
statements of the Company for the periods prior to December 18, 1996 are those
of AAP, the assets and liabilities of FCEI are recorded at their estimated fair
values and the accounts of FCEI are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition (December 18, 1996).

AAP was incorporated on June 19, 1996 and had no significant operations or
assets until it acquired Eagle Window and Door, Inc. (Eagle) and Taylor Building
Products Company (Taylor) on August 29, 1996 (see Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements of the Company). Eagle is based in Dubuque, Iowa and
manufactures and distributes aluminum clad and all wood windows and doors.
Taylor is based in West Branch, Michigan and manufactures entry and garage
doors. The accounts of Eagle and Taylor are included in the accounts of the
Company from the August 29, 1996 acquisition date.

On June 25, 1996, AAP's ultimate controlling shareholder, an individual,
acquired ownership of Mallyclad Corp. (Mallyclad) and Vyn-L Corporation (Vyn-L).
Mallyclad and Vyn-L are based in Madison Heights, Michigan and process and
manufacture vinyl clad steel and aluminum coils and cut-to-length sheets. On
December 18, 1996, Mallyclad and Vyn-L were merged into AAP. Based on the
control maintained by this shareholder over AAP, Mallyclad and Vyn-L, the merger
was considered to be a transaction among companies under common control and was
accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.
Accordingly, the accounts of Mallyclad and Vyn-L are included in the accounts of
the Company from the June 25, 1996 acquisition date.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   
The following table sets forth revenues and expenses in aggregate dollars and as
a percentage of total revenue for the Company and its predecessors, Eagle,
Taylor, Mallyclad and Vyn-L, for the three years ended December 31, 1996. The
financial data for 1996 were derived from the audited consolidated financial
statements of the Company included herein for the period from inception to
December 31, 1996; the audited combined financial statements of Eagle Window &
Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company for the period
from January 1, 1996 to August 29, 1996 included herein; the unaudited financial
statements of Mallyclad Corporation for the period January 1, 1996 to June 30,
1996 not included herein; and the unaudited financial statements of Vyn-L Corp.
for the period January 1, 1996 to June 30, 1996 not included herein. The
financial data for 1995 and 1994 is that of the predecessors and were derived
from the audited combined financial statements of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and
Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company for the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994 included herein; and the audited combined financial statements
of Mallyclad Corporation and Vyn-L Corporation for the fiscal years ended
November 30, 1995 and 1994 included herein.
    

   
The following selected data should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements along with the notes thereto of the Company, Eagle Window &
Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company, and Mallyclad
Corporation and Vyn-L Corporation included herein.
    

As a result of the acquisitions discussed above, and the related differences in
cost basis of the assets and liabilities of the Company after the acquisitions
and the cost bases of the predecessors, the results of operations for the past
three years are not comparable. Such lack of comparability is explained in the
discussion below.

----------

(1) Financial data presented for 1996 include the combination of financial data
of the Company and its predecessors, Eagle and Taylor and Mallyclad and Vyn-L.
Financial data for the Company for 1996 were derived from the financial
statements of FCEI and Subsidiaries for the period from June 1996 (inception)
through December 31, 1996. These financial statements include the operations of
Mallyclad and Vyn-L from June 25, 1996, and the operations of Eagle and Taylor
from August 29, 1996. The results of operations of FCEI and Subsidiary are
included in the Company's 1996 financial data from December 18, 1996. Financial
data for Eagle and Taylor for 1996 were derived from the audited combined
financial statements of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor
Building Products Company for the period from January 1, 1996 to August 29,
1996. Financial data for Mallyclad and Vyn-L for 1996 were derived from the
unaudited


                                       12
<PAGE>   16


financial statements of Mallyclad and Vyn-L for the
period January 1, 1996 to June 25, 1996. Because the financial data for 1996
include data of the Company and its predecessors which are presented on
different cost bases, such data are not comparable to the financial data for
1995 and 1994.

   
(2) Financial data for 1995 and 1994 are that of the predecessors and were
derived from the combined financial statements of Eagle and Taylor for those
years, and the combined financial statements of Mallyclad and Vyn-L for the
fiscal years ended November 30, 1994 and 1995. Because the financial data of the
predecessors are presented on cost bases different from that of the Company
after the acquisitions, the 1995 and 1994 financial data are not comparable to
the 1996 financial data (see note (1) above).
    

   
(3) In addition to comparability issues relating to differences in asset and
liability bases described in notes (1) and (2) above, other factors affect the
comparability of financial data from year to year. The former parent of Eagle
and Taylor provided those Companies' treasury function and allocated various
general and administrative expenses. Interest expense charged by the former
parent to Eagle and Taylor approximated $2,000,000 and $1,755,000 in 1994 and
1995, respectively; interest expense for the eight month period ended August 29,
1996 approximated $1,143,000 and was treated as contributed to capital to Eagle
and Taylor by the former parent. A management fee was charged by the former
parent to Eagle and Taylor based on budgeted sales approximating $1,481,000,
$1,315,000 and $951,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the
eight month period ended August 29, 1996, respectively. Other expenses charged
to Eagle and Taylor by the former parent that were specifically incurred for
those companies for items such as general insurance, health insurance and
workers compensation insurance approximated $4,358,000, $3,588,000 and
$1,613,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, and eight month
period ended August 29, 1996, respectively. Eagle and Taylor filed their tax
returns on a consolidated basis with their former parent and all provisions for
federal and state income taxes, including provisions for deferred taxes, were
provided through intercompany accounts. Because these charges to Eagle and
Taylor from their former parent may differ from such charges for those entities
as part of the Company, comparison of 1995 and 1994 financial data to 1996
financial data may not be meaningful.
    

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Form 10-K and in the future filings by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the Company's written and
oral statements made by or with the approval of an authorized executive officer
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the
safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements reflect the
Company's current view with respect to future events and financial performance,
but are subject to many uncertainties and factors relating to the Company's
operations and business environment which may cause the actual results of the
Company to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements. Examples of such uncertainties include, but
are not


                                       13
<PAGE>   17


limited to, changes in customer demand and requirements,
changes in general economic conditions, changes in federal income tax laws and
regulations, competition, unanticipated expenses and delays in the integration
of newly-acquired businesses, inability to consummate business acquisition
transactions, industry specific factors and world wide economic and business
conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.


COMPARISON OF COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO COMBINED YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1995


Revenues. The Company experienced a 13% decrease in revenues in 1996. The
decrease was primarily a result of the restructuring of operations at Taylor. In
1995, the Taylor operation revised its manufacturing strategy and restructured
its business practices by eliminating non-core product lines. Management
believed this change would position Taylor to be more profitable in the
long-term. This was offset by nominal increases in revenues for the remaining
operations of AAP as a result of increases in volume and pricing during the
year.

   
Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 18.9% in 1996 compared
with 7.5% in 1995. The 1996 gross margins have been affected by improvements in
material procurement, material substitutions, and favorable commodity prices.
The improvement is also a result of the restructuring at Taylor. In addition,
lower depreciation for the period subsequent to the acquisition of Eagle and
Taylor improved gross profit due to a lower basis of assets recorded, based on
an allocation of the purchase price, compared to the historical basis of the
assets prior to the acquisitions.
    

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and
administrative ("S,G&A") expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 17.1% in 1996
compared to 16.8% in 1995. The percentage increase was due primarily to the
decrease in revenues between years while S,G&A expenses did not decline
proportionately due to the fixed nature of certain expenditures in this
category. Although S,G&A as a percentage of sales increased, total S,G&A
expenses decreased by $1.4 million. Taylor's restructuring efforts account for
the most significant portion of the reduction in S,G&A expenses. In addition,
sales salaries decreased $0.3 million, administrative salaries decreased $0.2
million, and the management fee charged by the previous parent of Taylor
decreased $0.4 million.

   
Operating Income. Operating income, excluding the nonrecurring restructuring
charges in 1995, increased by $8.4 million from the operating loss of $7.2
million in 1995. This is attributable to the improved gross profit resulting
from the Taylor restructuring and the reduction in SG&A expenses.
    

   
Interest Expense. Interest expense, as a percentage of sales, was 2.8% in 1996
compared to 2.3% in 1995. Interest expense increased by approximately $143 
thousand in 1996. The former parent of Eagle and Taylor provide cash management 
services to Eagle and Taylor and charged interest expense relating to the 
amounts payable to affiliates. This interest expense approximated $1.76 million 
in 1995 and $1.1 million for the eight months ended August 29, 1996. Interest 
expense for combined year ended December 31, 1996 also includes approximately 
$756 thousand incurred by the Company during its ownership.

Income Taxes. In the combined year ended December 31, 1996, the Company presents
a tax benefit of $268 thousand on a loss before taxes of $1.2 million. The
benefit results from income tax expense recorded at an effective rate of 46%
on income before taxes for the period of AAP's operations and an income tax
benefit recorded at an effective rate of 35% on losses before taxes of the
Company's predecessors. The effective rate for the period of AAP's operations
was determined using AAP's operating results and the bases of its assets and
liabilities adjusted for purchase accounting for the acquisitions, and differs
from the statutory tax rates as a result of a valuation allowance adjustment,
non-deductible expenses and state taxes. Prior to the acquisitions, Eagle and
Taylor were included in the consolidated income tax returns of their parent and
recorded income taxes in their accounts at a prescribed effective rate.
Accordingly, income taxes for the combined year ended December 31, 1996 are not
indicative of the amounts that would have been recorded on a stand-alone basis
and are not comparable to prior years.
    

   
Net Loss. The Company's consolidated net loss decreased by $5.6 million to $.9
million in 1996 compared to the $6.5 million net loss incurred in 1995. As
presented in the Selected Financial Data of the Company for 1996, the Company
reported net income of $0.8 million for the period under AAP's ownership. The
factors cited above were responsible for the decrease in net loss of the
Company.
    

COMPARISON OF COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO COMBINED YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1994

Revenues. The Company experienced a 20.8% decrease in revenues. The decrease was
primarily a result of two major elements. As noted above, the Taylor operation
revised its manufacturing strategy and restructured its business practices.
Taylor began to focus on simplifying its operations based on its core
competencies which are production of entry door and garage door slabs. By
eliminating non-core product lines, management believed the operations would be
more profitable in the long-term. Eagle also experienced a sales volume decrease
that was partially offset by a price increase for certain of its products. The
decline in volume was a result of the loss of certain key customers.

   
Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 7.5% in 1995, compared
with 10.3% in 1994. The 1995 gross margins were impacted by higher conversion
costs, including costs related to the restructuring program at Taylor such as
training and other related transition costs.
    

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. S,G&A expenses, as a percentage
of sales, were 16.8% in 1995 and 15.3% in 1994. S,G&A expenses declined by $2.0
million primarily due to the restructuring efforts at Taylor. This accounted for
over half of the reduction and included a reduction of sales and administrative
salaries in addition to lower sales promotion expenses.


                                       15
<PAGE>   19


   
Restructuring Charge. Taylor's management adopted a restructuring plan in
September of 1995 to address recurring operating losses. The plan was
implemented to reduce overhead through a plan of business consolidation and
simplification. The major components consisted of closing select locations,
eliminating non-core product lines, and improving overall proficiency of its
remaining product lines. ( See Eagle and Taylor combined financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 1995).

Operating Income(Loss). The operating loss for 1995, before the nonrecurring
restructuring charge of $0.8 million, increased to $7.2 million compared to $4.9
million in 1994. The loss, as a percentage of sales, increased from 5.0% in 1994
to 9.3% in 1995 due to the reduced gross profit and the increase in S,G&A as a
percentage of revenues.
    

Interest Expense. Interest expense as a percentage of sales was 2.3% in 1995 and
2.1% in 1994. Interest expense declined by approximately $0.3 million during
1995. Interest expense decreased due to lower intercompany debt levels in 1995
offset by slightly higher interest rates than in 1994.

Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate for 1995 was 35% compared to 37% for
1994. For those years, Eagle and Taylor were included in the consolidated income
tax returns of their parent and recorded income taxes in their accounts at a
prescribed effective rate.

Net Loss. The net loss increased to $6.5 million in 1995 compared to 
$4.3 million in 1994 primarily due to the nonrecurring restructuring charge of 
$2.6 million recorded in 1995.

LIQUIDITY  AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity needs include required debt service, working capital
needs and the funding of capital expenditures. Liquidity is provided by the
Company's operating activities and by borrowings under various credit
facilities. The Company has a number of loan agreements with financial
institutions which provide working capital financing through 1999 and term debt
financing through 2001. The Company had the ability to borrow an additional $1.9
million under these agreements at December 31, 1996. AAP also has subordinated
notes outstanding in connection with the purchase of Eagle and Taylor.

The Company has made a strategic decision to pursue acquisitions in the
fenestration industry to 1) increase its market share, 2) provide a broader
product offering to its customers and 3) provide synergies both operationally
and geographically. This strategy will require significant additional liquidity.

The Company will be pursuing a combination of debt and equity to improve its
liquidity position, reduce the level of short-term and long-term debt, and
position the Company for future growth. This growth will include the Company's
strategic acquisition initiative. Management also believes the Company's asset
management can generate significant levels of short-term financing.

The transfer of funds from the Company's significant operating subsidiaries to
the Company in the form of dividends, loans or advances is restricted by the
terms of the credit


                                       16
<PAGE>   20


agreements without the approval of the respective lender. All credit agreements
are executed at the subsidiary level since the parent company has no operations
and acts as a holding company.

Cash provided by operations was $4.5 million in 1996, $2.6 million in 1995 and
$1.9 million in 1994. The increase in cash from operations resulted primarily
from higher operating results, a decrease in accounts receivable, an increase in
accounts payable, and an increase in accrued expense.

The Company's working capital requirements for inventory and accounts receivable
are impacted by changes in raw material costs, the availability of raw
materials, growth of the Company's business and seasonality. As a result, such
requirements may fluctuate significantly.


Capital expenditures were $0.4 million in 1996 compared to $2.6 million in 1995
and $1.9 million in 1994. Capital outlays included manufacturing equipment and
computer software and hardware. In addition, in 1996 the Company entered into a
$1.6 million capital lease to purchase the computer hardware and software. The
Company expects to spend approximately $2.4 million in 1997 for capital
expenditures. Management expects that its capital expenditure program will
continue at a sufficient level to support the strategic and operating needs of
the Company's operating subsidiaries. Future capital expenditures are expected
to be funded from internally generated funds, leasing programs and the Company's
credit facilities.

During 1996, the Company increased bank debt by approximately $13.0 million
primarily to fund the acquisition of Eagle and Taylor. The Company also
increased long-term debt by $8.0 million through a subordinated debt agreement
with the seller of Eagle and Taylor.

The Company plans to meet the demands of its debt service requirements of
approximately $1.5 million for 1997 related to debt with financial institutions
and up to $8.0 million in connection with subordinated debt through a
combination of operating activities, including continued emphasis on asset
management and improved profitability, and potential equity offerings. The
Company is uncertain as to the timing of any potential offerings but is
exploring possible alternatives with its financial advisors.


SEASONALITY

The Company's business is seasonal since its primary revenues are driven by
residential construction. Certain geographic areas where the Company's sales
activities are significant particularly in the Northeast and Midwest regions of
the United States where inclement weather during the winter months usually
reduces the level of building and remodeling activity in both the home
improvement and new construction markets. Traditionally, the Company's lowest
sales levels usually occur during the first and fourth quarters. Because a high
percentage of the Company's manufacturing overhead and operating expenses are
relatively fixed throughout the year, operating income has




                                       17
<PAGE>   21



historically been lower in quarters with lower sales.  Working
capital, and borrowings to satisfy working capital requirements, are usually at
their highest level during the second and third quarters.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Forte Computer Easy, Inc. (FCEI) is principally engaged in the business of
manufacturing residential, commercial and architectural windows and doors
through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, American Architectural Products, Inc.
(AAP) and Forte, Inc. (Forte).

Prior to December 18, 1996, FCEI had a single wholly-owned operating subsidiary,
Forte, based in Youngstown, Ohio. On December 18, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization dated October 25, 1996 between FCEI and AAP Holdings,
Inc. (the Agreement), FCEI acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of AAP in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock of FCEI (the Series A Preferred). Under the terms of the
Agreement and the Series A Preferred, AAP Holdings, Inc. obtained 60 percent of
the voting control of FCEI. Although FCEI is the parent of AAP following the
transaction, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of AAP and
a purchase by AAP of FCEI because the stockholders of AAP obtained a majority of
the voting rights in FCEI as a result of the transaction (see Note 2). The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of Forte Computer Easy, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company) include the accounts of AAP for the period from its
inception (June 19, 1996) to December 31, 1996, and the accounts of FCEI from
December 18, 1996, the effective date of the acquisition.

AAP was incorporated on June 19, 1996 and had no significant operations or
assets until it acquired Eagle Window and Door, Inc. (Eagle) and Taylor Building
Products Company (Taylor) on August 29, 1996 (see Note 2). Eagle is based in
Dubuque, Iowa and manufactures and distributes aluminum clad and all wood
windows and doors. Taylor is based in West Branch, Michigan and manufactures
entry and garage doors. The accounts of Eagle and Taylor are included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements from the August 29, 1996
acquisition date.

                                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


On June 25, 1996, AAP's ultimate controlling stockholder acquired ownership of
Mallyclad Corp. (Mallyclad) and Vyn-L Corporation (Vyn-L). Mallyclad and Vyn-L
are based in Madison Heights, Michigan and process and manufacture vinyl clad
steel and aluminum coils and cut-to-length sheets. On December 18, 1996,
Mallyclad and Vyn-L were merged into AAP. Based on the control maintained by
this stockholder over AAP, Mallyclad and Vyn-L, the merger was considered to be
a transaction among companies under common control and was accounted for at
historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the
accounts of Mallyclad and Vyn-L are included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements from the June 25, 1996 acquisition date.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FCEI and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, AAP and Forte. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, payables and accrued expenses
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. Based on
the borrowing rates currently available to the Company, the carrying amounts of
notes payable and long-term debt approximate fair value.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues from sales and the corresponding receivables are recorded upon the
shipment of product to the customer.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method, or market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation
using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings and improvements                                               20-25
Machinery and equipment                                                   7-10
Computers and office equipment                                             3-7
Tools, dies and fixtures                                                   3-7

Expenditures for renewals, and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Any long-lived assets held
for disposal are reported at the lower of these carrying amounts or fair value
less costs to sell.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED

Cost in excess of net assets acquired is being amortized over 25 years using the
straight-line method. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1996 was $74,000.
The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the cost in excess of
net assets acquired by comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from
operating activities with the carrying amounts of the related assets. The
factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current
operating results, business prospects, market trends, competitive activities and
other economic factors.

WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS

Eagle and Taylor sell the majority of their products with limited warranties of
two to 25 years. Accrued warranty obligations are estimated based on claims
experience and levels of production. Warranty obligations estimated to be
incurred within one year are classified as current liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision is computed using the liability method. Deferred taxes
are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences
between the financial reporting and the tax bases of the Company's assets and
liabilities.

AAP will file its income tax return on a consolidated basis with its parent
company until December 18, 1996, the date of acquisition by FCEI. Payments for
current federal and state income taxes payable for that period are included in
"Advances to Affiliates" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

ADVERTISING

The cost of advertising is charged against income as incurred. Advertising
expense was $263,000 for the period from inception to December 31, 1996.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect (1) the dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options, (2) the number of shares expected to be issued upon
the conversion of all of the Series A Preferred (which, based on its terms as
discussed in Note 8, the Company believes is common stock in substance) and (3)
the weighted average number of shares that the Company is obligated to issue to
an officer (see Note 8).

2.    RECAPITALIZATION AND ACQUISITIONS

RECAPITALIZATION AND ACQUISITION OF FCEI

Effective December 18, 1996, FCEI acquired the stock of AAP in a reverse
acquisition in which AAP's stockholders acquired voting control of FCEI. The
acquisition was accomplished through an exchange of stock in which FCEI
exchanged 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred and options to purchase
8,798,322 shares of FCEI common stock for 100% of the outstanding stock of AAP.
Upon completing the transaction, the stockholders of AAP controlled 60% of the
voting rights of the combined Company.

For financial reporting purposes, AAP is deemed to be the acquiring entity. The
merger has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
as (a) a recapitalization of AAP (whereby the issued and outstanding stock of
AAP was converted into 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred and options to
purchase 8,798,322 shares of common stock - see Note 9) and (b) the issuance of
the securities discussed in the following paragraph by AAP in exchange for all
of the outstanding equity securities of FCEI.

In the merger, AAP is deemed to have issued 48,605,794 shares of common stock,
committed itself to issuing an additional 1,718,422 shares of common stock (see
Note 8), and to have issued 5,865,548 stock options (see Note 9). The estimated
fair value assigned to the securities issued was $828,000. This estimated fair
value was based on the estimated fair value of the securities of AAP which were
obtained by the FCEI stockholders in the reverse acquisition. The estimated fair
value of the AAP securities was determined

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


based on the values of AAP's recent acquisitions (Eagle, Taylor, Mallyclad and
Vyn-L) and adjusted for post-acquisition equity transactions and operating
results.

The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the consideration of $925,000, including transaction costs, was
allocated to the FCEI net assets acquired based on estimated fair values
including current assets of $1,871,000, property and equipment of $5,341,000,
long-term debt of $4,030,000 and current liabilities of $2,257,000. The results
of FCEI's operations are included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition.

ACQUISITION OF EAGLE AND TAYLOR

On August 29, 1996, AAP acquired the stock and certain assets and liabilities of
Eagle and Taylor. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The purchase
price approximated $22,202,000 and was allocated to the net assets acquired
based on estimated fair market values including current assets of $17,123,000,
property and equipment of $6,805,000, accrued warranty obligations of
$4,600,000, and current and other liabilities of $4,362,000. Cost in excess of
net assets acquired of $7,236,000 was recorded and will be amortized over 25
years. Subordinated notes payable to the seller totalling $8,000,000 were used
to finance a portion of the acquisitions (see Note 5). In addition, the
remaining balance due the seller of $1,462,500 will be paid in monthly
installments, plus interest at 12%, through May 31, 1997. The results of Eagle
and Taylor operations are included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition.

ACQUISITION OF MALLYCLAD AND VYN-L

The June 25, 1996 acquisition of Mallyclad and Vyn-L was accounted for as a
purchase. The purchase price approximated $1,009,000 and was allocated to net
assets acquired based on estimated fair values including current assets of
$900,000, property and equipment of $205,000, other assets of $170,000, and
current liabilities of $266,000. The accounts of Mallyclad and Vyn-L are

1996 acquisition date.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

The following pro forma information has been prepared assuming that the
acquisitions of FCEI, Eagle and Taylor, and Mallyclad and Vyn-L had occurred on

expense for acquisition funding, adjustments to depreciation expense based on
the fair market value of the property and equipment acquired, amortization of
cost in excess of net assets acquired arising from the acquisitions, and
adjustments for income taxes and the weighted average number of shares
outstanding. The pro forma earnings per share information reflects the effects
of the recapitalization described above.

4.    REVOLVING LINE-OF-CREDIT

At December 31, 1996, the Company had $5,477,000 outstanding under a
subsidiary's revolving line-of-credit facility whereby the subsidiary may borrow
or issue letters-of-credit of up to $13,000,000 based on available collateral.
Amounts outstanding under the revolving line-of-credit facility are payable on
August 29, 1999. Borrowings bear interest at 1.5% above the prime rate (9.75% at
December 31, 1996) and interest is payable monthly.

                                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The subsidiary is charged a monthly fee equal to .375% per annum of the amount
by which the maximum credit limit exceeds the average monthly outstanding loans
and undrawn face amount of any letters-of-credit. No letters-of-credit were
outstanding at December 31, 1996.

Since the revolving line-of-credit facility includes both a subjective
acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a lock-box arrangement whereby
remittances from the subsidiary's customers reduce the debt outstanding, the
borrowings outstanding are classified as current obligations.

The revolving line-of-credit is a component of a credit facility that also
includes a term loan under which the subsidiary is subject to certain
restrictive covenants (see Note 5).

5.    LONG-TERM DEBT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The term notes due August 2001 are components of a credit facility that also
includes a revolving line-of-credit (see Note 4). The credit facility is secured
by substantially all of the assets of AAP and contains various restrictive
covenants which, among other matters, require the subsidiary to maintain certain
defined minimum working capital and adjusted net worth requirements. As of
December 31, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants of 
the credit facility. Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the lender modified these 
covenants and the Company is in compliance with the revised covenants.

The subordinated notes due in August 1999 were incurred in connection with the
acquisition of Eagle and Taylor (see Note 2). The subordinated notes are secured
by 20% of the FCEI shares owned by AAP Holdings, Inc. (200,000 shares of the
Series A Preferred at December 31, 1996 - the "Option Shares") which have been
pledged to the seller under terms of a ten year Option and Pledge Agreement that
underlies the subordinated notes. Terms of the Option and Pledge Agreement
provide the seller with the right to purchase the Option Shares for $1 if the
principal balance of the subordinated notes is not repaid by December 31, 1997.
The amount of Option Shares is subject to reduction in accordance with a formula
based on repayment of principal of the subordinated notes defined in the Option
and Pledge Agreement. If the principal balance of the subordinated notes is
reduced by less than $1.5 million by December 31, 1997, the seller will have the
right to purchase all of the Option Shares for $1. If the subordinated notes are
paid in full by December 31, 1997, the number of Option Shares is reduced to
zero. The Company has agreed to issue to AAP Holdings, Inc. a number of common
shares of the Company equal to the number of common shares delivered by AAP
Holdings, Inc. to the seller or the number of common shares into which the
Series A Preferred delivered by AAP Holdings, Inc. to the seller would convert
if the options are exercised under terms of the Option and Pledge Agreement
described above. The subordinated notes also include certain restrictive
covenants.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The other term notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of Forte and
include certain restrictions, including the payment of dividends.

Various debt obligations are guaranteed by certain stockholders. In connection
with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (see Note 1), the Company must
obtain written consent from the guarantors before disposing of assets securing
the debt obligations.

The transfer of funds from the operating subsidiaries to the Company is
restricted by terms of the credit agreements described above without the prior
consent of the respective lenders. Substantially all operating assets are at the
subsidiary level as the parent company currently acts as a holding company and
does not have any operations.

The approximate maturities of long-term debt over the next five years (assuming
the subordinated notes will be repaid in 1999) are as follows: 1997 -
$1,500,000; 1998 - $1,000,000; 1999 - $9,000,000; 2000 - $1,030,000; and 2001 -
$2,860,000.

6.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

LEASE COMMITMENTS

Certain non-cancelable leases are classified as capital leases. Leased assets,
consisting of computer equipment with a cost of $1,578,000, are included as part
of "Property and Equipment". Other leases for buildings and equipment are
classified as operating and are not capitalized.

LITIGATION

At December 31, 1996, the Company is a defendant in several lawsuits. The
Company may be liable in these matters to the extent that the lawsuits are found
in favor of the plaintiffs and to the extent that these matters are not covered
by the Company's insurance. In the opinion of management, such liabilities, if
any, would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements
of the Company.

7.    BENEFIT PLANS

AAP maintains a 401(k) plan for all eligible nonunion employees which includes
provisions for Company matching contributions. Additionally, salaried employees
at the Mallyclad operating division participate in a defined contribution
retirement plan under which Mallyclad contributes a defined percentage of
participants' compensation. Union employees at the Taylor operating division
participate in a multiemployer pension plan into which Taylor contributes $.22
per hour worked. Expenses incurred relating to these plans from the period from
inception to December 31, 1996 were $89,000.

Union employees at Taylor are also entitled to postretirement healthcare
benefits pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement. Under the contract
provisions, Taylor will pay a retired employee with a minimum of 10 years of
service a benefit of up to $100 per month after retirement at age 62. The
accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes a liability of $450,000 which
is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1996.
Expenses for the period from inception to December 31, 1996 relating to these
postretirement benefits were not significant.

8.    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

PREFERRED STOCK

The Series A Preferred will be automatically converted into 75,486,324 shares of
common stock at such time the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common
stock to permit such conversion. The Series A Preferred is voting preferred
stock and has the same number of votes as the number of shares of common stock
into which the Series A Preferred would be convertible if converted in full on
the record date.

No dividends may be paid with respect to the common stock unless a dividend is
paid to the holders of the Series A Preferred. Any dividends paid are required
to be allocated pro rata among the holders of the common stock and Series A
Preferred as though the Series A Preferred had been converted in full to common
stock on the dividend payment date.

The Series A Preferred has a liquidation preference over the common stock in the
amount of $.10 per share. Any amounts remaining will be allocated to

the common stock and Series A Preferred holders as if the Series A Preferred had
been converted in full upon such liquidation.

COMMON STOCK

In connection with the acquisition of FCEI (see Note 2), the Company became
committed to issue 1,718,422 shares of common stock to an officer at such time
as the Company has a sufficient number of shares authorized.

9.    STOCK OPTIONS

In 1992, FCEI adopted an Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Option
Plan"). Options to purchase an aggregate of up to 5,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock are authorized under the Option Plan. Options granted
under the Option Plan have a maximum duration of ten years from the date of
grant.

As part of the consideration paid in the acquisition of FCEI in December 1996,
the Company is deemed to have issued to certain FCEI stockholders options to
purchase an aggregate of 5,865,548 shares of the Company's common stock at
prices ranging from $.25 to $.50 per share. The aforementioned options were
deemed to have been issued in exchange for previously outstanding options
granted under the Option Plan, which were issued in contemplation of the Company
effectuating a reverse stock split. Until such reverse stock split is
effectuated or until such time as additional shares of the Company's common
stock are authorized or purchased as treasury shares, these options will not be
exercisable.

As part of the recapitalization of AAP that occurred in connection with the
acquisition of FCEI (see Note 2), AAP Holdings, Inc. received options to
purchase 8,798,322 shares of common stock of FCEI ("AAPH Options"). The AAPH
Options are equivalent to 1.5 times the number of shares of FCEI common stock
subject to the 5,865,548 options issued to certain FCEI stockholders ("FCEI
Options"). The AAPH Options are identical in price and exercise terms to the
FCEI Options and are exercisable only to the extent that the FCEI Options are
exercised.

In recording the acquisition of Eagle and Taylor, the Company established a
valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax assets acquired, based
on uncertainties surrounding the expected realization of these assets. The
Company will reverse the valuation allowance if and when the assessment of the
need for such an allowance changes. In the event that the valuation allowance
established at the acquisition date is reduced, such reductions would be
recognized as reductions of cost in excess of net assets acquired.

      EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

      The Company was a party to an employment agreement with Anthony E. DePrima
who served as Executive Vice President and Director of the Company. This
agreement had a term extending through December 31, 1995 (subject to renewal).
Mr. DePrima's base compensation under this agreement was $120,000 per annum,
plus an incentive bonus equal 5% of the net profits of the Company. The Company
also provided a car for Mr. DePrima and assumed the cost of his legal
malpractice insurance. The Company exercised its option to terminate Mr.
DePrima's employment agreement effective December 31, 1995. Effective May 15,
1996, the Company retained Mr. DePrima as a business and legal consultant for a
twelve-month term. In connection therewith, the Company agreed to pay Mr.
DePrima a consulting fee of $1,500 per month.

      EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

      In May of 1992, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted an Employee
Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"). Options to purchase an
aggregate of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock are authorized
under the Option Plan. Options granted under the Option Plan have a maximum
duration of ten years from the date of grant. In connection with the
acquisition of Forte in June of 1994, Mr. Amedia and Mr. Masternick (the former
shareholders of Forte) received options to purchase an aggregate of 4,717,698
shares of the Company's common stock at $.375 per share. The aforementioned
options were issued in contemplation of the Company


                                       48
<PAGE>   52



effectuating a reverse stock split. Until such reverse stock split is
effectuated or until such time as additional shares of the Company's common
stock are authorized or purchased as treasury shares, these options will not be
exercisable.

      As of December 31, 1996, options to purchase a total of 14,663,870 shares
of the Company's common stock were outstanding, including options to purchase
8,798,322 shares issued to AAPH on December 18, 1996, with exercise prices
ranging from $.25 to $.50 per share.

      1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN

      The Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Plan"), which is subject
to shareholder approval, authorizes the Board to grant options to Directors and
employees of the Company to purchase in the aggregate an amount of shares of
Common Stock equal to 10% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
from time to time, but which aggregate amount shall in no event exceed
10,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Directors, officers and other employees of
the Company who, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, are responsible for
the continued growth and development and the financial success of the Company
are eligible to be granted options under the 1996 Plan. Options may be
nonqualified options, incentive stock options, or any combination of the
foregoing. In general, options granted under the 1996 Plan are not transferable
and expire ten (10) years after the date of grant. The per share exercise price
of an incentive stock option granted under the 1996 Plan may not be less than
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Incentive stock
options granted to persons who have voting control over 10% or more of the
Company's capital stock are granted at 110% of the fair market value of the
underlying shares on the date of grant and expire five years after the date of
grant. No option may be granted after December 19, 2006.

      The 1996 Plan provides the Board of Directors with the discretion to
determine when options granted thereunder will become exercisable. Generally,
such options may be exercised after a period of time specified by the Board of
Directors at any time prior to expiration, so long as the optionee remains
employed by the Company. No option granted under the 1996 Plan is transferable
by the optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and
each option is exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by the
optionee.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         In connection with a loan of $100,000 from Jack Martinez to the
Company, in 1988 two shareholders transferred 250,000 shares each to Mr.
Martinez as additional consideration for such loan. In November 1993, the Board
of Directors of the Company authorized the issuance of 250,000 shares of common
stock to each of those shareholders, Anthony E. DePrima and D. Jess Riddle, both
of whom were officers and directors of the Company at the time, to replace the
shares which each of them had transferred to Mr. Martinez.

         Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated on May 27,
1994, which was consummated on June 8, 1994 (as amended, the "Forte Agreement"),
Forte became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to that
transaction, as modified, the Company agreed to issue to the prior Forte
shareholders a total of 32,479,290 shares of the Company's common stock,
consisting of 29,346,499 shares to Amedia, of which 27,628,077 have been issued
(with the balance of 1,718,422 to be issued by the Corporation when there are
sufficient authorized shares available), and 3,132,791 shares to Masternick. As
part of the same transaction, options were granted to Amedia and Masternick to
purchase 4,262,440 shares and 455,258 shares, respectively, of the Company's
common stock at $.375 per share. In addition, the Company realized $250,000 from
the sale of 1,000,000 Series A Preferred shares at $0.25 per share to Forte
under the Forte Agreement. Forte had assigned its rights to acquire the Series A
Preferred shares at $.37 per share to a group of accredited investors, resulting
in the investors purchasing 675,677 shares and Forte acquiring 324,323 shares.
The 324,323 shares of the Company's common stock acquired by Forte are to be
issued to Amedia as a former shareholder of Forte. These shares have not yet
been issued and are in addition to the 1,718,422 shares which, as noted above,
the Company is obligated to issue to Amedia.

         In connection with the Company's acquisition of the stock of Forte in
June of 1994, the Company also entered into an agreement with D. Jess Riddle, a
former officer and director of the Company, regarding certain matters. Under
this Agreement, for a period of ninety days following the closing of the
transaction, the Company had a right of


                                       51
<PAGE>   55



first refusal to acquire 500,000 shares of Company common stock held by Riddle.
During the same time period, the Company also had an exclusive option to acquire
1,200,000 shares of Company common stock held by Riddle at $.40 per share. If
the option was not exercised in the first ninety days of the option period, then
the Company had an additional 270 days to acquire such shares at $.50 per share.
If the Company purchased all 1,200,000 shares from Riddle, then simultaneously
with the payment for the last shares, the Company could purchase at $.15 per
share certain options previously granted to Riddle to acquire 1,000,000 shares
(the "Riddle Option"). If, within 180 days after the closing of the transaction,
the market price of the Company's common stock exceeded $1.50 per share, then
the exercise price for the Company to acquire any unpurchased portion of the
1,200,000 Riddle shares would be adjusted to $.75 per share. The Company also
agreed to retain Riddle as a consultant for six months following closing of the
transaction at a compensation rate equal to his base salary (with no commission
override) as in effect prior to the closing. The Company also agreed to pay
Riddle $3,000 on the first day of each month until the first 500,000 Riddle
shares were sold, or the end of ninety days after the close of the transaction,
whichever occurred first. On September 15, 1994, Riddle and Forte agreed to
several modifications of this Agreement, as follows:

                     (i) Riddle was permitted to sell 500,000 shares at $.60 per
                         share to four separate investors.

                    (ii) Designees of Forte, purchased 750,000 shares from
                         Riddle at $.40 per share.

                   (iii) Forte, or its designees, could purchase the remaining
                         500,000 shares owned by Riddle at $.50 per share prior
                         to the expiration date of the original 360 day period 
                         following closing of the Forte acquisition transaction.

                    (iv) If Forte purchased all the remaining 500,000 shares
                         owned by Riddle within the 360 day period following 
                         closing of the Forte acquisition transaction, the 
                         Company could repurchase the Riddle Option at 
                         $.15 per share.

         Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement
with Riddle pursuant to which the Company would purchase all remaining shares of
the Company's common stock owned by Riddle. The shares and 1,000,000 options
were acquired in exchange for (i) the discharge of approximately $180,000 in
indebtedness owing from CD World, a company owned by Riddle, to Arizona Disk
Fulfillment, Inc. ("ADF") and (ii) for a $195,000 credit in favor of Riddle or
his nominees against the retail price of goods and services of ADF.

         In connection with the Forte transaction in June of 1994, the Company
entered into separate stock option agreements, dated June 7, 1994, whereby the
Company obtained the right, for a period of one (1) year from June 8, 1994, to
purchase 30% of the shares owned by certain large shareholders of the Company
for $.50 per share. Anthony E. DePrima, a director and former officer of the
Company, was a party to such an agreement with the Company. The Company did not
exercise any of these options, which expired on June 8, 1995.

         In June, 1994, Forte purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares
of MoCorp Air, Inc. ("MoCorp") from Amedia for $215,000, which consisted of the
assumption by Forte of the balance due from MoCorp to Cessna Financing Company
in the amount of $147,902 and seller-provided financing for the balance of the
purchase price of $67,098. The sole asset of MoCorp was a Cessna Chieftain Piper
Aircraft.

         In connection with the Reorganization Agreement between the Company and
AAPH, the Company and its subsidiary, American Architectural Products, Inc.
("AAP"), agreed to use their best efforts to secure the release of Amedia,
Masternick and Hofmeister from all obligations as either a co-obligor or
guarantor of Company or AAP debt. In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Amedia, Masternick and Hofmeister against any loss,
cost or expense which any of them may incur as a result of being a co-obligor or
guarantor of any Company or AAP debt. Furthermore, the Company and AAPH agreed
not to dispose of assets securing any Company or AAP debt without the prior
written consent of any person who is a co-obligor or guarantor of such debt.

         Forte performs management services for 78 rental units owned by Amedia
and his wife. Such services involve accounting, performing maintenance, making
repairs and coordinating tenant requirements. Mr. Amedia and his wife paid the
Company $52,257 for such services during the year ended December 31, 1996,
$49,804 during the year ended December 31, 1995, and $29,925 during the year
ended December 31, 1994.

<PAGE>   56



         Upon consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Reorganization
Agreement, the Company agreed that AAP would pay a management fee to AAPH of
$250,000 during 1997 and to reimburse AAPH and its affiliates for out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in providing services to AAP. The management fee agreement
will terminate on December 31, 1997. In addition, the Company agreed to pay AAPH
an acquisition consulting fee of one percent (1%) of the transaction price of
each acquisition transaction consummated by the Company with respect to which
AAPH or its affiliates provides acquisition consulting services. For purposes of
calculating the acquisition fee, the transaction price means the aggregate
amount of consideration paid by the Company or its affiliates for the
acquisition in the form of cash, stock, stock options, warrants, debt
instruments and other assumed liabilities. The acquisition consulting fee
agreement will terminate on December 31, 1997, except with respect to
acquisition transactions already in progress at such date.

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and
Taylor Building Products Company (Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries)

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Eagle Window & Door,
Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company (Wholly- Owned
Subsidiaries), as of August 29, 1996, and the related combined statements of
operations and accumulated deficit, and cash flows for the period then ended.
These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the combined 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Eagle
Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company
(Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) as of August 29, 1996, and the results of their
combined operations and cash flows for the eight month period then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

        The combined financial statements include the financial position,
        results of operations and cash flows of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and
        Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company (the Companies). All
        material intercompany transactions, accounts and balances have been
        eliminated.

        Each Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MascoTech, Inc. Because of
        these relationships, the financial statements of the Companies have been
        prepared on a combined format as if they were a single entity. In
        addition, MascoTech, Inc. performed the Companies' treasury function,
        and allocated expenses for various services it provided (See Note 9).

        Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Eagle) are engaged in the
        manufacture of aluminum clad and all wood windows and doors. Eagle's

        accounts of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
        Eagle Window & Door of Bellevue, Inc. and Eagle Service Company. All
        significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated

        The interim financial statements for the eight month period ended August
        29, 1995 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements
        reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
        necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the
        interim period. The results of operations for the eight month periods
        presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
        respective years.

1.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates:
        (Continued)

        Pervasiveness of Estimates:

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
        assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
        and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
        financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
        during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
        estimates.

        Earnings Per Share:

        Historical earnings per share data has not been presented in the
        accompanying financial statements due to the subsequent acquisition of
        the two (2) Companies by American Architectural Products, Inc. and its
        reverse merger with a public reporting company (See Note 12).

        Accounts Receivable:

        As of August 29, 1996, an allowance has been established for potentially
        uncollectible accounts receivable in the amount of $791,521.

        Inventory:

        Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
        market. Inventories are reviewed periodically for obsolescence and an
        allowance established to record potentially obsolete inventory at net
        realizable value (See Note 3).

        Property, Plant and Equipment:

        Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
        provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
        lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add
        to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are
        charged to expense as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized
        when incurred. Depreciation expense for the periods ended August 29,
        1996 and 1995, was $2,661,961 and $2,589,573 (unaudited), respectively.
        Assets are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives, as
        follows:

                                                                   Years

5.      Commitments and Contingencies:

        Commitments:

        The Companies are currently leasing certain office and manufacturing
        space in Dubuque, Iowa and West Branch, Michigan under non-cancellable
        operating lease agreements which expire through July, 1997. The terms of
        the leases provide for combined monthly payments totalling approximately
        $12,000. The lease terms also require the Companies to pay common area
        maintenance, taxes, insurance and other costs. The Companies are also
        leasing equipment under various non-cancellable operating lease
        agreements which expire through July, 2000. Rent expense under the
        operating lease agreements was $477,761 and $487,134, (unaudited)
        respectively, for the periods ended August 29, 1996 and 1995.

        A schedule of future minimum lease payments due under the
        non-cancellable operating lease agreements, is as follows:

                           Year Ended
                           August 29,                       Amount

                              1997                      $  382,862
                              1998                         176,505
                              1999                          88,425
                              2000                          18,546
                                                        ----------

                                                        $  666,338

                                                        ==========

        Contingencies:

        Environmental Issue:

        Based on an evaluation of Eagle's operating facility,
        asbestos-containing materials were located in various sections of the
        facility. No provision or accrual has been made to provide for any
        potential future costs for abatement because, in management's opinion,
        they should not have a material adverse effect upon the combined
        financial position of the Companies. In connection with the sale of the
        Companies to American Architectural Products, Inc. (See Note 12), the
        former parent of the Companies agreed to bear certain abatement costs
        relating to this matter.

        Litigation:

        At August 29, 1996, the Companies were a party to several lawsuits. The
        Company believes that the lawsuits are without merit and intend to
        vigorously defend their position. A provision has been made for
        approximately $100,000 for a lawsuit involving product performance
        issues.

          TAYLOR BUILDING PRODUCTS COMPANY (Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries)
               NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

6.      Stockholders' Equity:

        The stock of Taylor Building Products Company consists of 1,000 shares
        of $1 par value common stock authorized, issued and outstanding. The
        stock of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. consists of 500,000 shares of $1 par
        value common stock authorized, 210,851 shares issued and outstanding.

7.      Restructuring Charge:

        In September, 1995, Taylor's management adopted a restructuring plan to
        address recurring operating losses. The goal of the plan was to reduce
        overhead through a plan of business consolidation and simplification.
        The major components to the plan were: (1) closure of its satellite
        locations in Florida and Texas; (2) elimination of its "non-core"
        product lines; and (3) improve the proficiency of its entry and garage
        door lines. As a result of the restructuring plan, the Company incurred
        costs for liquidation of inventory, loss on the sale and abandonment of
        fixed assets, severance pay, and other related costs.

        A restructuring charge in the approximate amount of $2,600,000 was
        recorded subsequent to August 29, 1995.

8.      Warranty Reserve:

        The Companies sell the majority of their products with limited
        warranties of two (2) to twenty-five (25) years. At August 29, 1996, the
        accompanying financial statements include a reserve of $4,627,412 for
        estimated warranty claims based on the Companies' historical claims
        experience.

9.      Related Party Transactions:
   
        As of August 29, 1996, the Companies had amounts payable to affiliates
        of 19,441,656. These affiliates consisted primarily of the parent
        company and subsidiaries of the parent company. For the eight month
        periods ended August 29, 1996 and 1995, the Companies had recorded
        related interest expense of $1,142,519 and $1,167,661 (unaudited),
        respectively. Interest expense for the eight month period ended August
        29, 1996 was treated as contributed to capital by the Parent Company.

        Various shared expenses were charged to the Companies through the
        payable to affiliate account. These expenses included items such as
        general insurance, health insurance, and workers' compensation
        insurance, which were charged based on specific identification of the
        expense. For the eight month periods ended August 29, 1996 and 1995,
        total expenses charged to the Companies through specific identification
        were $1,613,407 and $2,642,306, respectively.

        In addition, MascoTech, Inc., the parent company, charged the Companies
        a management fee based on budgeted sales for the various operating
        subsidiaries. For the eight month periods ended August 29, 1996 and
        1995, total management fees charged to the Companies were $951,000 and
        $872,300, respectively.

10.     Benefit Plans:

        401K Profit Sharing Plan and Pension Plan:

        The Companies' former parent sponsored the MascoTech, Inc. Salaried
        Savings Plan. All salaried employees of the Company with three (3)
        months of service, were eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan
        operated as a 401K Savings Plan. The Plan did not provide for a
        discretionary matching or profit sharing contribution. As such, no
        expense has been recorded for contributions in the accompanying
        financial statements.

        The Companies' former parent sponsored the MascoTech, Inc. Master Hourly
        Employees' Pension Plan. All hourly employees of the Companies were
        eligible to participate in the Plan with participation commencing on the
        date of hire. Benefits in the Plan were vested and based on the number
        of years of credited service. Pension expense under the Plan for the
        eight month periods ended August 29, 1996 and 1995 for the combined
        Companies was approximately $135,000 for each period.

        Pursuant to the sale of the Companies to American Architectural
        Products, Inc., in August, 1996, and in accordance with the Stock
        Purchase Agreement, coverage under these plans ceased. The seller agreed
        to fully vest all participants and pay benefits in the normal course of
        the plans. As such, no liability has been reported in the accompanying
        combined financial statements for any potential unfunded liabilities.

        Post-Retirement Benefits:

        Taylor Building Products Company sponsors a post-retirement health
        benefit program pursuant to its collective bargaining contract. Under
        the principal terms of the contract, the Company will pay a retired
        employee with a minimum of ten (10) years service, a benefit of $100 per
        month after retirement at age 62. As of the date of the financial
        statements, no material post-retirement benefit obligation has been
        incurred.

        Labor Force:

        Most of the hourly employees of Taylor Building Products Company,
        comprising approximately eighty-five percent (85%) of the Taylor labor
        force, are covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The contract
        expired in February, 1997, and was renegotiated for an additional five
        (5) years.

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and
Taylor Building Products Company (Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries)

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Eagle Window & Door,
Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company (Wholly-Owned
Subsidiaries), as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related combined
statements of operations and accumulated deficit, and cash flows for the years
then ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companies' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Eagle
Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company
(Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of
their combined operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                EAGLE WINDOW & DOOR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES AND
         TAYLOR BUILDING PRODUCTS COMPANY (Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries)
                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates:

        Basis of Presentation:

        The combined financial statements include the financial position,
        results of operations and cash flows of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and
        Subsidiaries and Taylor Building Products Company (the Companies). All
        material intercompany transactions, accounts and balances have been
        eliminated.

        Each Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MascoTech, Inc. Because of
        these relationships, the financial statements of the Companies have been
        prepared on a combined format as if they were a single entity. In
        addition, MascoTech, Inc. performed the Companies' treasury function,
        and allocated expenses for various services it provided (See Note 10).

        Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Eagle) are engaged in the
        manufacture of aluminum clad and all wood windows and doors. Eagle's
        primary market is the construction industry. Products are marketed
        through various distributors located throughout the United States and
        Pacific Rim. Eagle's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Eagle Window & Door of
        Bellevue, Inc. and Eagle Service Company are engaged in the sale and
        distribution of windows and doors throughout the United States.

        The accompanying combined financial statements include the consolidated
        accounts of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
        Eagle Window & Door of Bellevue, Inc. and Eagle Service Company. All
        significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
        in consolidation.

        Taylor Building Products Company (Taylor) is engaged in the manufacture
        of entry and garage doors. The Company markets entry doors under the
        brand names of Perma Door and Taylor Door. The Perma Door brand is
        primarily marketed through millwork distributors and the Taylor Door
        brand is primarily marketed through installing dealers. The Company
        markets garage doors under the Taylor Door brand name throughout the
        United States.

        Pervasiveness of Estimates:

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
        assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
        and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
        financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
        during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
        estimates.

               NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates:
        (Continued)

        Earnings Per Share:

        Historical earnings per share data has not been presented in the
        accompanying financial statements due to the subsequent acquisition of
        the two (2) Companies by American Architectural Products, Inc. and its
        reverse merger with a public reporting company (See Note 13).

        Accounts Receivable:

        As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, allowances have been established for
        potentially uncollectible accounts receivable in the amounts of $445,418
        and $648,385, respectively.

        Inventory:

        Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
        market. Inventories are reviewed periodically for obsolescence, and an
        allowance established to record potentially obsolete inventory at net
        realizable value (See Note 3).

        Property, Plant and Equipment:

        Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
        provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
        lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add
        to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are

        Commitments:

        The Companies are currently leasing certain office and manufacturing
        space in Dubuque, Iowa and West Branch, Michigan under non-cancellable
        operating lease agreements which expire through July, 1997. The terms of
        the leases provide for combined monthly payments totalling approximately
        $12,000. The lease terms also require the Companies to pay common area
        maintenance, taxes, insurance and other costs. The Companies are also
        leasing equipment under various non-cancellable operating lease
        agreements which expire through July, 2000. Rent expense under the
        operating lease agreements was $817,418, $927,916 and $837,934
        (unaudited), respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994

        Contingencies:

        Environmental Issue:

        Based on an evaluation of Eagle's operating facility,
        asbestos-containing materials were located in various sections of the
        facility. No provision or accrual has been made to provide for any
        potential future costs for abatement because, in management's opinion,
        they should not have a material adverse effect upon the combined
        financial position of the Companies. In connection with the sale of the
        Companies to American Architectural Products, Inc. (See Note 13), the
        former parent of the Companies agreed to bear certain abatement costs
        relating to this matter.

        Contingencies: (Continued)

        Litigation:

        At December 31, 1995, the Companies are a party to several lawsuits. The
        Companies believe that the lawsuits are without merit and intend to
        vigorously defend their position. Therefore, no provision for any
        potential losses has been made in the accompanying financial statements,
        except for a lawsuit that was settled subsequent to the balance sheet
        date for approximately $165,000. A provision for this loss has been
        charged to operations in the accompanying financial statements for the
        year ended December 31, 1995.

6.      Stockholders' Equity:

        The stock of Taylor Building Products Company consists of 1,000 shares
        of $1 par value common stock authorized, issued and outstanding. The
        stock of Eagle Window & Door, Inc. consists of 500,000 shares of $1 par
        value common stock authorized, 210,851 shares issued and outstanding.

7.      Restructuring Charge:
   
        In September, 1995, Taylor's management adopted a restructuring plan to
        address recurring operating losses. The goal of the plan was to reduce
        overhead through a plan of business consolidation and simplification.
        The major components to the plan were: (1) closure of its satellite
        locations in Florida and Texas; (2) elimination of its "non-core"
        product lines; and (3) improve the proficiency of its entry and garage
        door lines. As a result of the restructuring plan, the Company incurred
        costs for loss on the sale and abandonment of fixed assets, severance
        pay, and other related costs. The restructuring plan was completed
        during the first quarter of 1996.

        The restructuring charge for the year ended December 31, 1995, consisted
        of the following:

        Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities:

        During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Companies recognized an
        investing activity that affected equity, but did not result in cash
        receipts or payments. This non-cash activity consisted of the write off
        notes receivable deemed uncollectible in the amount of $344,473.

        During the year ended December 31, 1994, the Companies recognized an
        investing activity that affected assets and liabilities, but did not
        result in cash receipts or payments. This non-cash activity was a
        devaluation of fixed assets assigned to the Companies by the parent
        company, offset against amounts due to the parent company.

 9.     Warranty Reserve:

        The Companies sell the majority of their products with limited
        warranties of two (2) to twenty-five (25) years. At December 31, 1995
        and 1994, the accompanying financial statements include a reserve of
        $4,824,800 and $5,149,800, respectively, for estimated warranty claims
        based on the Companies' historical claims experience.

10. Related Party Transactions:

        As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Companies had amounts payable to
        affiliates of $20,482,654 and $25,427,638, respectively. These
        affiliates represent primarily the parent company and subsidiaries of
        the parent company. Various shared expenses were charged to the
        Companies through the payable to affiliate account. These expenses
        included items such as general insurance, health insurance, and workers
        compensation insurance, which were charged based on specific
        identification of the expense. For the years ended December 31, 1995,
        1994 and 1993, total expenses charged to the Companies through specific
        identification were $3,588,020, $4,357,726 and $4,527,768 (unaudited),
        respectively.

        In addition, MascoTech, Inc., the parent company, charged the Companies
        a management fee based on budgeted sales for the various operating
        subsidiaries. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 total
        management fees charged to the Companies were $1,314,700, $1,481,200 and
        $1,619,400 (unaudited), respectively.

        MascoTech, Inc. also provided cash management services for the
        Companies. As of December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Companies had
        recorded interest expense relating to the amounts payable to affiliates
        of $1,755,177, $2,040,067 and $2,020,414 (unaudited), respectively.

11.     Benefit Plans:

        401K Profit Sharing Plan and Pension Plan:

        The Companies' former parent sponsored the MascoTech, Inc. Salaried
        Savings Plan. All salaried employees of the Company with three (3)
        months of service, were eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan
        operated as a 401K Savings Plan. The Plan did not provide for a
        discretionary matching or profit sharing contribution. As such, no
        expense has been recorded for contributions in the accompanying
        financial statements.

        The Companies' former parent sponsored the MascoTech, Inc. Master Hourly
        Employees' Pension Plan. All hourly employees of the Companies were
        eligible to participate in the Plan with participation commencing on the
        date of hire. Benefits in the Plan were vested and based on the number
        of years of credited service.

        Pursuant to the pending sale of the Companies to American Architectural
        Products, Inc., in August, 1996, and in accordance with the Stock
        Purchase Agreement, coverage under these plans ceased. The seller agreed
        to fully vest all participants and pay benefits in the normal course of
        the plans. As such, no liability has been reported in the accompanying
        combined financial statements for any potential unfunded liabilities.

        Post-Retirement Benefits:

        Taylor Building Products Company sponsors a post-retirement health
        benefit program pursuant to its collective bargaining contract. Under
        the principal terms of the contract, the Company will pay a retired
        employee with a minimum of ten (10) years service, a benefit of $100 per
        month after retirement at age 62. As of the date of the financial
        statements, no material post-retirement benefit obligation has been
        incurred.

        Labor Force:

        Most of the hourly employees of Taylor Building Products Company,
        comprising approximately eighty-five percent (85%) of the Taylor labor
        force, are covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The contract
        expired in February, 1997, and was renegotiated for an additional five
        (5) years.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Mallyclad Corporation and Vyn-L Corporation

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Mallyclad
Corporation and Vyn-L Corporation as of June 30, 1996, November 30, 1995 and
November 30, 1994 and the related combined statements of operations and
retained earnings, and cash flows for the seven months ended June 30, 1996 and
the years ended November 30, 1995 and 1994. These combined financial statements
are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Mallyclad
Corporation and Vyn-L Corporation as of June 30, 1996, November 30, 1995 and
November 30, 1994, and the results of their combined operations and cash flows
for the seven months ended June 30, 1996 and years ended November 30, 1995 and
1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                    processor, performing shearing and forming functions for its
                    customers.

                    Mallyclad and Vyn-L ("the Companies") were under common
                    control and because of these relationships, the financial
                    statements of the Companies have been prepared on a combined
                    basis as if they were a single entity. All material
                    intercompany transactions, accounts and balances have been
                    eliminated.

                    USE OF ESTIMATES

                    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
                    generally accepted accounting principles requires management
                    to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
                    amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
                    contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
                    financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
                    and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
                    could differ from these estimates.

                    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

                    The carrying amounts of receivables, payables and accrued
                    expenses approximate fair value because of the short
                    maturity of these items. The carrying amounts of notes
                    payable-bank approximate fair values because the interest
                    rate varies with the market rate.

                    CASH EQUIVALENTS

                    Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments
                    consisting of money market funds.

                    INCOME TAXES

                    The income tax provision is computed using the liability
                    method. Deferred taxes are recorded for the expected future
                    tax consequences of temporary differences between the
                    financial reporting and the tax bases of the Companies'
                    assets and liabilities.
