                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

     Penda Corporation (the "Company" or "Penda"), is one of the world's
largest manufacturers and suppliers of pickup truck accessories serving
original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and the automotive aftermarket (the
"Aftermarket").  The Company manufacturers thermoformed high-density
polyethylene plastic pickup truck bedliners that are designed to both enhance
the vehicle's appearance and help protect truck beds from damage, thereby
extending the useful life and increasing the resale value of the pickup truck.
The Company also manufactures fiberglass accessory products for pickup trucks,
vans, and Class 8 trucks that are sold by truck dealers, specialty automotive
stores, other retailers and OEMs.  Other truck accessories including bed mats,
tailgate liners, hood protectors and cargo liners designed for sport utility
vehicles and other light trucks are also distributed through the Company's OEM
and Aftermarket distribution systems.

     The Company was formed by the acquisition of substantially all of the
assets of the Proprietary Products Division of TriEnda Corporation on March 18,
1994.  Effective July 14, 1995, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Tri-Glas
Corporation ("Tri-Glas") acquired certain of the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of VMC Fiberglass Products, Inc. ("VMC").

     The light truck accessory industry, like the North American automotive
parts industry, generally is composed of two distinct sectors - the original
equipment market and the automotive aftermarket.  Management believes that the
OEM segment of the industry is benefited by consumers' general preference to
purchase significant add-ons at the time they purchase their vehicle.  Such
purchases allow installation of the accessories prior to delivery and before
damage to the vehicle occurs.  It also permits the buyer to finance the
accessories with the purchase of the vehicle.  Aftermarket sales are generally
directed to consumers who purchase in the Aftermarket because of the perceived
higher cost of OEM accessories, their desire to engage in "do-it-yourself"
installation, they do not realize the protective value of bedliners until they
see pickup truck bed damage, they decide to "customize" the appearance of their
vehicle after original purchase, or they purchase accessories prior to a
planned sale of a used vehicle.

     The Company also distributes pickup truck bedliners in Latin America and
Australia through its subsidiaries Penda SA de C.V. and Penda Australia,
Limited.  These sales represent 1.8% of the Company's net sales.

Products and Markets

     The Company's major product lines are:

     Pickup Truck Bedliners

     Pickup truck bedliners are manufactured for OEMs and the Aftermarket.
Aftermarket liners carry the "PENDALINER(R)" brand name, while OEM liners are
stamped with the truck manufacturer's name, such as Ford, Toyota, or Dodge, in
the headwall of the bedliner.  The Company manufactures approximately 90
different bedliner models, custom engineered and molded to fit the exact
specifications of the truck bed of most models of domestic and foreign pickup
trucks.  The Company's bedliner sales represented 78% and 86% of the Company's
net sales for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Pickup Truck Caps

     Pickup truck caps are manufactured primarily for Aftermarket customers.
Pickup truck caps are fiberglass shells affixed to the truck's bed rail and are
designed to enhance the appearance and aerodynamics of the truck, and provide
for a secure storage area that protects the truck bed's contents from damage
caused by precipitation, sun and wind.  The Company's caps are manufactured
from 100% pure polyester reinforced resin and chopped fiberglass, and include a
one piece reinforced fiberglass base rail.


                                       3



<PAGE>   4


     Pickup Truck Tonneau Covers

     Pickup truck tonneau covers are manufactured for both OEM and Aftermarket
customers and are a flat, rigid cover that protects the bed of the pickup
truck.  The tonneau cover, like a cap, enhances the appearance and aerodynamics
of the truck and provides for a secure, protected storage area.  Unlike a cap,
which extends up to or above the pickup truck's cab, tonneau covers extend only
a few inches above the truck bed.  The Company's tonneau covers are also
manufactured from 100% pure reinforced resin and chopped fiberglass for
superior structural strength, and are custom-finished with automotive paint.

     Running Boards

     Running boards are manufactured primarily for Aftermarket customers.
Running boards are manufactured from 100% pure polyester reinforced resin and
chopped fiberglass and provide pickup trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles
with an original equipment look and ground effect styling.  The boards are
typically sold unpainted to a retailer or vehicle converter who paints and
installs the boards for the end customer.

     Other Light Truck Accessory Products

     Light truck accessories currently being distributed by the Company include
the following:


        -Pick-up truck bedmats, which are rubber mats designed to protect the
floor of pickup truck beds.

        -The Hide-A-Hook(TM), is a tie-down system that utilizes a patented
design that allows a hook or loop to rotate out of sight when not in use.  The
Hide-A-Hook reduces the likelihood of pick-up truck cargo movement in the bed
of the pick-up.

        -The Kargo Keeper Tray and Kargo Bay(R) Tray, are versatile,
lightweight trays designed for sport utility vehicles which protect the cargo
area and reduce cargo movement.

        -Hood protectors which deflect insects, gravel and other debris away
from the vehicle and protects the hood and windshield of pickup trucks and
sport utility vehicles from nicks and chips.

Van Tops

     The Company manufactures fiberglass van top shells which are sold to
custom van converters.  These van tops are made from 100% pure polyester
reinforced resin and chopped fiberglass and are designed to exceed all National
Highway Safety Traffic Administration roll-over requirements and Federal Motor
Vehicle Industry Standards for school bus roll-over testing.

     Class 8 Trucks

     The Company manufactures fiberglass sleeper shells and other truck parts
for certain OEMs of heavy duty trucks.

Significant Customers

     Sales to Ford Motor Company and Chrysler Motor Corporation were
approximately 21.2% and 19.5%, respectively, of consolidated net sales in 1996.
No other customer accounts for more than 10% of consolidated net sales and the
Company is not dependent upon a single or a few customers, the loss of which
would have a materially adverse effect on the Company.  In February 1997, the
Company's contract to supply bedliners and other accessory products to a
significant customer was terminated.  See Part II, Item 7, "Recent Events".

Competition

     While the light truck accessories industry is highly fragmented,
competition within specific product categories, such as bedliners, is
frequently concentrated among a small number of suppliers.  For example,
management believes that the Company and its principal competitor share
approximately 80% of the total bedliner

                                       4



<PAGE>   5

market, with other known competitors accounting for the balance.  Competition
in the industry is based primarily on brand name recognition, price, quality
and service.  While the Company's average selling price per unit remained flat
in 1996 versus 1995, pricing has become more competitive as the Company's
competition has been generally reducing their prices to obtain market share.

Product Design and Development

     Development of product enhancements and new products is managed by design
engineering teams who generally begin the product development process by
identifying marketing needs to be fulfilled and conceptualizing product ideas
through regular meetings among members of the Company's design engineering and
senior management teams.  The Company's engineering staff assesses feasibility,
manufacturing cost parameters and lead times and uses a computer assisted
design system to preview aspects of design and performance prior to production.

Backlog Orders

     A sales backlog is maintained, however, sales orders are generally filled
in under one month.

Manufacturing

     The Company's bedliner manufacturing operations include the in-house
extrusion of plastic resins into high-density polyethylene into heavy-gauge
sheets.  The Company then molds the polyethylene sheets into the shape of a
pickup truck bed through the use of the vacuum-forming process.  High-quality
material is required to assure the fit and durability of the Company's
bedliners.  The Company uses virgin resin pellets mixed with regrind materials
that are gathered by a closed-loop material recovery system.  Pellets and
regrind materials are heated and, after melted, are squeezed between a series
of rolls.  The resulting sheets of plastic are cooled before thermoforming and
a computer scans the materials for gauge uniformity.

     The Company's fiberglass manufacturing operations are done by using
production molds to laminate fiberglass into the various product shells.  Only
100% pure polyester reinforced resin and fiberglass materials are used to
provide superior structural strength versus competitors' products who use less
resin and add a filler material.  After initial lamination, cardboard honeycomb
material, wood or steel reinforcements are added for structural strength.  The
product is then laminated a second time to stiffen and strengthen the
reinforcement material. The edges are trimmed and the product is hand sanded to
a smooth finish.  Finally, if applicable, the product is given an automotive
paint finish.

     In addition to manufactured items, the Company also purchases certain
accessory products from independent manufacturers.  The Company works closely
with each supplier to ensure that the products' quality
meet the Company's and its customers' requirements.

Marketing

     As part of the Company's marketing program to assist OEM truck dealers and
Aftermarket distributors, the Company (i) provides dealers and distributors
with product pamphlets, sample materials, sales and installation training
videos, point-of-sale displays and special promotional brochures; (ii) attends
trade shows and places advertisements in key trade journals; (iii) conducts
advertising campaigns in light truck enthusiast magazines and on cable
television networks such as TNN; (iv) sponsors a NASCAR Craftsman Series Truck
racing team; (v) is a Ducks Unlimited Corporate sponsor; (vi) conducts periodic
promotional campaigns to provide additional incentives to dealer and
distributor sales personnel; (vii) maintains a customer service/telemarketing
department to promptly respond to customers' needs and orders; (viii) holds
periodic training sessions and sales meetings, attended by senior management
and manufacturing personnel, in order to better educate its distributors and
dealers with respect to the design, manufacture and quality of the Company's
products; and (ix) conducts ongoing surveys to determine customer satisfaction.
The Company's sales representatives are also extensively trained on quality
issues and the manufacture, distribution, features, benefits and installation
of the Company's products.

Distribution

     Bedliners and Light Truck Accessory Products

     The Company's OEM distribution systems provide direct access to over
10,000 light truck dealers located throughout the United States and Canada.
The Company's OEM sales representatives and dedicated telemarketing personnel
maintain regular contact with the Company's dealer customer base and use
computerized on-line inventory management systems to ensure quick, accurate
price quotes and on-time shipments.  Once a sale has been completed, the
Company's management information systems are used to provide billing
information to the OEM, which is in turn responsible for actual dealer billing
and collection.  This direct OEM billing reduces the credit risks to the
Company that would result from having numerous dealer accounts receivable.  The
Company uses a network of 45 distribution locations located throughout the
United States and Canada to receive, store and deliver products to OEM dealers.

     The Company's bedliners and other automobile accessory products are
distributed to the Aftermarket through approximately 90 distributors in the
United States and Canada.  These distributors are called upon by the Company's
regional sales representatives, each of whom is responsible for assisting the
Company's distributors in increasing sales.  Aftermarket bedliners and other
products are stored in the Company's manufacturing and warehouse facilities
pending shipment to the distributor, which is made by common carrier generally
within 48 hours of order receipt.  International shipments are made from the
Company's Portage, Wisconsin, Toluca, Mexico and Victoria, Australia facilities
to distributors in South America, Mexico and Australia.

     Pickup Truck Caps, Tonneau Covers and Running Boards

     These products are sold through the Company's sales representatives and
telemarketing staff.  These sales representatives and telemarketers call upon
current and potential customers and are responsible for assisting the Company's
customers in increasing their sales.  These products are manufactured at
Tri-Glas's manufacturing facility in Daleville, Alabama.  Truck caps and
running boards are distributed predominately to Aftermarket customers in the
south central and south eastern regions of the United States.  Tonneau covers
are also manufactured for OEM customers.

     Van Tops and Class 8 Truck Parts

     After being manufactured at Tri-Glas, van tops are distributed to custom
van converters located throughout the United States.  The Class 8 truck parts
are delivered to the OEM's freight carrier who ships them to the OEM's
manufacturing locations.  Tri-Glas' staff work closely with these customers to
ensure on-time delivery of these products, which is critical to the customer's
success.

Quality Control

     As a result of the Company's commitment to quality, both Penda and
Tri-Glas have received a number of OEM supplier awards.  The criteria for these
awards generally include quality, cost control, reliability of delivery, new
technology implementation and overall management excellence.  Management
attributes the quality of the Company's products to its strict adherence to
comprehensive statistical process control systems that streamline the Company's
ability to regularly inspect product runs for manufacturing defects, as well as
its implementation of a Total Quality Management ("TQM") philosophy that
emphasizes the prevention, rather than detection, of non-conforming materials.
The Company offers a limited lifetime warranty on all products.  Warranty
claims to date have been minimal.

On August 23, 1996, the Company's bedliner manufacturing operation received
"QS9000" certification.  This certification is the automotive industry's
quality standard.  This standard is identical to ISO9000 except that it
requires that approximately 100 additional quality standards be met.  All of
the OEM's have required QS9000 certification as a condition to being an OEM
supplier after 1997.  Management believes that only approximately 500 of the
estimated 15,000 automotive suppliers have received QS9000 certification.


                                       6

Trademarks and Patents

     The Company has registered its "Penda(R)" and "PENDALINER(R)" trademarks
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and believes that its
trademark position is adequately protected.

     In addition, the Company holds several patents covering truck bedliners,
pickup truck caps, pickup truck sleepers, running boards, van tops and other
accessories, none of which expire earlier than 2003.  Because the Company
believes that it is an innovator of designs, it is the Company's policy to
apply for design and utility patents on those product designs which management
believes may be of significance to the Company. Management believes that the
Company's success also depends on its skills in marketing, distribution and
manufacturing in addition to the patented features of its bedliners and other
light truck accessory products.

Raw Materials

     The primary raw materials used in the manufacture of the Company's
products are polyethylene and polyester plastic resins and chopped fiberglass.
These materials are available from several suppliers.  The capacity, supply and
demand for plastic resins and fiberglass are subject to cyclical and other
market factors, but management believes that its current sources and
replacement sources will be available to meet the Company's needs.

Employees

     At December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately 600 full-time
personnel.  None of the Company's employees are subject to collective
bargaining agreements.  The Company has not experienced any work stoppages and
management considers its employee relations to be good.

Environmental Regulation

     The Company's operations are subject to federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations that impose limitations on the discharge of
pollutants into the environment and establish standards for the handling,
generation, emission, release, discharge, treatment, storage and disposal of
certain materials, substances and wastes.  To the Company's knowledge, the
Company's operations are in substantial compliance with the terms of all
applicable environmental laws and regulations as currently interpreted.  In
addition, to the Company's knowledge, there are no existing or potential
environmental claims against the Company, nor has the Company received any
notification or knowledge of any allegation of any actual, or potential
responsibility for, or any inquiry or investigation regarding, any disposal,
release, or threatened release at any location of any hazardous substance
generated or transported by the Company.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

     Penda owns a 240,000 square-foot manufacturing, warehouse and corporate
administrative office facility located on 19 acres in Portage, Wisconsin.
Tri-Glas owns a 14 acre manufacturing facility in Daleville, Alabama.  Tri-Glas
leases its administrative offices and maintenance facilities which are located
across the street from the manufacturing facility.  Management believes that
these facilities are sufficient to support future expansion that may be
required to meet increases in sales volume for the near term.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and other
claims arising in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company maintains
insurance coverage against claims in an amount which it believes to be
adequate.  The Company believes that it is not presently a party to any
litigation, the outcome of which would have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition or results of operations.  The Company is a party to the
following non-ordinary course legal proceedings:

Houska Lawsuit



                                       7



<PAGE>   8

     On June 5,1996, a lawsuit, Christopher G. Houska v. Citgo Petroleum
Corporation. et al., was filed against the Company and various other defendants
in the Missouri Circuit Court, Twenty-Second Judicial District, St.     Louis,
Missouri.  The complaint alleges that the plaintiff suffered personal injuries
from a fire which occurred while he was fueling a portable kerosene container in
the bed of his pickup truck.  The plaintiff has alleged that the Company's
predecessor, TriEnda Corporation, designed, manufactured and sold the bedliner
which was installed in his truck at the time of the fire, and that the Company
is liable as the successor of TriEnda.  The complaint alleges that both the
plaintiff's truck and the bedliner were dangerous and detective and that the
plaintiffs injuries were the direct result of such dangerous and defective
condition.  The complaint alleges that the Company is liable to the plaintiff
under the legal theories of strict product liability, negligence and breach of
warranty.  The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, an
unspecified amount of punitive damages, attorneys' fees and costs and
pre-judgment interest.  The case is in the early stages of discovery.

     The Company believes that it has adequate insurance coverage for any
potential adverse judgment in the Houska lawsuit and the Company's liability
and excess insurer has assumed the defense of the lawsuit without reservation
of rights.  Although insurance proceeds would not be available to satisfy a
judgment on the punitive damages claim, the Company believes that the punitive
damages claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against such
claim.

     The Company has made a demand against TriEnda Corporation for
indemnification in connection with the Houska lawsuit.  TriEnda has responded
to this demand, denying liability.  The Company's insurer is continuing to
pursue this demand on behalf of the Company.

Class Action Lawsuits

     In the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997, seven class
action lawsuits were filed in state and federal courts against the Company and
various other manufacturers of pickup truck bedliners.  The cases are Jude
Vanderhoff, et al. v. Durakon Industries, Inc., et al., filed in the Circuit
Court of Jefferson County, Kentucky on February 6, 1997;  James S. Sherman et
al. v. Durakon Industries, Inc., et al., filed in the Common Pleas Court of
Montgomery County, Ohio on January 23, 1997; Tennyson Smith, et al. v. Durakon
Industries, Inc., et al., filed in the Circuit Court of Greene County, Alabama
on November 7, 1997; Mary Ann Boyer, et al. v. Durakon Industries, Inc., et
al., filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Florida on January 9, 1997; Susan Stricklett, et al. v. Durakon Industries,
Inc., et al., filed in Champaign County, Illinois on November 7, 1997;  Joseph
Jetton, et al. v. Durakon Industries, Inc., et al., filed in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division on
November 8, 1996; and Jimmy E. Brown, et al. v. Durakon Industries, Inc.. et
al., filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Mississippi, Hattiesburg Division on November 8, 1996.

     The foregoing cases are purportedly brought on behalf of all owners of
pickup truck bedliners made by the defendant manufacturers.  None of these
cases seek damages for personal injuries.  The complaints allege that the
bedliners manufactured by the defendants are defective and unreasonably
dangerous because the bedliners supposedly prevent the discharge of static
electricity which can accumulate on or in portable fuel containers and thereby
create the potential for an explosion.  The complaints allege that the
defendants were aware of the alleged danger but failed to provide a proper
warning.  The complaints filed in these cases, while not identical, raise
substantially similar legal theories, primarily claims of breach of warranty,
fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, negligence and
strict liability in tort.  The plaintiffs seek damages in unspecified amounts
and equitable relief, including a recall and replacement of all bedliners, or a
refund, and notification to all bedliner owners of the purported danger.  The
complaints either request punitive damages or reserve the right to seek
punitive damages at a later date.  The complaints all seek an award of
attorney's fees and costs.

     On March 21, 1997, the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Mississippi, Hattiesburg Division, entered an Order Conditionally
Certifying Class for Settlement Purposes, Designating Class Counsel, Staying
Discovery and Pending Motions and Issuing Injunction in the Jimmy E. Brown case
(the "Order").  Pursuant to the Order, the court has (i) conditionally
certified the class for settlement purposes only and has stayed all pending
discovery and motions in the Jimmy E. Brown case, (ii) enjoined all members of
the class and their attorneys from filing, commencing, continuing or otherwise
participating in any lawsuit based on or relating to the facts and
circumstances underlying the claims and causes of action set forth in the Jimmy
E. Brown lawsuit.  In

                                      8
<PAGE>   9


connection with the entry of the Order, the Vanderhoff, Crabtree, Sherman and
Jon Brown cases have been dismissed without prejudice and the parties to the
Smith, Boyer, Stricklett and Jetton cases have agreed to jointly
request the courts in those cases to stay all discovery, except for certain
limited discovery activities, and motion practice pending the completion of
settlement negotiations among the parties.

     The Company believes the claims in these lawsuits are without merit and it
has specifically denied any fault or omission or any liability or violation of
law in connection with the claims asserted therein.  However, due to the
uncertainties of litigation, especially where jury trials are involved, and the
cost and distraction of defending multiple lawsuits in various jurisdictions,
the Company has determined that it would be in its best interest to explore the
possibility of settlement.  The court's reason for entering the Order was for
the limited purpose of allowing the parties to enter into settlement
negotiations.  The Order will remain effective for 90 days from the date it was
entered or for such longer time as the parties, in the discretion of the court,
are engaged in meaningful settlement discussions.  If a settlement is reached,
it will be subject to approval by the court.  Any defendant may withdraw from
the conditional certification after obtaining leave of the court, which may be
granted without a showing of cause.  The withdrawal of any defendant will not
affect the conditional certification with respect to the remaining parties.

     Settlement discussions are in the preliminary stages.  There can be no
assurance that a settlement will be reached.  In the event that settlement
discussions should terminate, the Company intends to vigorously defend these
lawsuits.

Patent Infringement Lawsuits

     On October 16, 1996, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin against The Colonel's,
Inc. and The Colonel's International, Inc. (collectively, "The Colonel's"),
alleging that the defendants have infringed a United States patent owned by the
Company relating to its under-the-rail bedliner product.  The defendants filed
an answer and a first counterclaim seeking a declaratory judgment that the
patent at issue is invalid and/or not infringed, and a second counterclaim
alleging that the Company's patent infringement claim against The Colonel's
constituted unfair competition by the Company under the laws of the State of
Wisconsin.  The Company has answered the defendant's' counterclaims denying any
liability to The Colonel's.  The Company believes that the defendants'
counterclaims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.
Discovery has commenced in this case and a trial has been set for November 10,
1997.

     On January 2, 1997, The Colonel's, Inc. filed a lawsuit against the
Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan alleging that the Company has infringed a United States patent owned
by The Colonel's relating to a bedliner for the 1997 Ford F150 pickup truck.
The complaint seeks injunctive relief, treble damages, costs and attorney's
fees.  The Company intends to file an answer and a first counterclaim seeking a
declaratory judgment that the patent at issue is invalid and/or not infringed.
The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to
vigorously defend against it.

(1) The Company's predecessor was a division of an S corporation for federal and
    state income tax purposes. As a result,  historical earnings prior to March
    18, 1994 were taxed directly to the shareholders of the S corporation rather
    than to the predecessor division.

(2) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed as income before taxes
    and interest expense, divided by interest expense.

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

     The following discussion which relates to the three years ended December
31, 1996 should be read in conjunction with the selected financial data, the
Company's consolidated financial statements and the Division's financial
statements and the related notes of each.  For the purposes of these
comparisons, the amounts for the year ended December 31, 1994 include the
results of the Company for the period from March 18, 1994 to December 31, 1994,
plus the results of the Division for the period January 1, 1994 to March 17,
1994:

     Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1995 and 1996

     Net sales increased $14.5 million or 19.4%.  Contributing to the increase
in sales was a full year of Tri-Glas' results (acquired July 14, 1995) which
represented $8.0 million of the increase.  Bedliner sales increased 9.6% due to
a 3% increase in market penetration, higher OEM bedliner sales relating to new
pick-up truck introductions by and a 0.3% increase in average selling prices.

     Cost of sales increased $8.8 million or 18.5% and gross profit increased
$5.7 million or 21.0%.  Gross profit margin was 36.8% in 1996 versus 36.3% in
1995.  Raw material costs in bedliner manufacturing were lower due to favorable
resin prices in the first two quarters of 1996 and the Company's continuous
effort to achieve manufacturing efficiencies.  Offsetting these gains in gross
profit margin is the impact of a full year of Tri-Glas sales.  Tri-Glas' gross
profit is significantly less than Penda's as the fiberglass truck accessories
market is very price sensitive.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were 9.2% of sales in 1996
versus 10.4% of sales in 1995.  This decrease was due to general and
administrative costs being flat despite the 19.4% increase in sales.  Selling
costs increased due to additional sales associates being added in 1996,
although as a percentage of sales, selling expenses declined from 4.8 to 4.6%.

     Interest expense was lower in 1996 as average debt outstanding was
slightly lower.

     On June 3, 1996, Tri-Glas suffered a fire in one of its two main
production buildings.  The building, along with equipment and inventory inside
the building, was completely destroyed.  During 1996, the company received
insurance proceeds in excess of the net book value of the assets lost in the
fire of approximately $464,000.  These insurance proceeds were used by the
Company to replace the building and equipment lost in the fire.

     Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1994 and 1995

     Net sales increased $6.2 million, or 9.1% from 1994 to 1995.  The Tri-Glas
acquisition contributed $5.5 million of new sales in 1995 subsequent to the
acquisition on July 14, 1995.  Bedliner sales decreased 0.7% due to lower
pickup truck sales in 1995.

     Cost of sales increased $8.1 million, or 20.6% and gross profit decreased
$1.9 million or 6.6% from 1995 to 1994.  Raw material costs in both the
bedliner and fiberglass groups were higher in 1995 versus 1994 due to temporary
shortages of available materials.  At the same time, extremely competitive
pricing pressure  in the bedliner market, forced margins down.  In addition,
Tri-Glas' gross profit is significantly less than Penda's as the fiberglass
truck accessories business is very competitive.

     Selling expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 7.4% as
advertising/promotional campaigns were reduced.  General and administrative
expenses increased $0.5 million, or 14.1% due to increased staffing in the
first half of 1995.

     Interest expense was higher as the Company borrowed $7.5 million under its
bank revolving credit facility in July 1995 to finance the Tri-Glas
acquisition.

     Also during 1995, the Company's start-up operation in Mexico incurred a
loss of approximately $0.9 million.  This loss occurred primarily due to
non-performance by the lessor under a building lease agreement.  As a result,
the Company's start-up production schedule had to be delayed.  The Company has
since moved to a new

                                       11



<PAGE>   12

location where it is currently distributing products only and is reviewing the
potential for manufacturing in the future.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary capital requirements for its operations are for
working capital (principally inventory and accounts receivable) and capital
expenditures.  In addition, the Company has semi-annual interest (only)
payments due on its unsecured 10.75% Senior Notes ("Notes").  These interest
payments may be funded through operating cash flows, borrowings or a
combination of both.

     The Company's current assets exceeded current liabilities by $ 11.0
million and $8.1 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Net cash
provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1996 was
approximately $12.3 million compared to $5.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

     The Company's revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") with a
commercial lender provides for borrowings of up to $19.5 million, consisting of
(i) a $13.0 million revolving credit facility with available borrowings based
on the Company's eligible accounts receivable and inventory, and (ii) an
over-advance facility of $6.5 million, which will decrease by $1.5 million on
each July 14 of 1997 and 1998.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility (i) bear
interest at either 2.5% above the lender's eurodollar rate or 1.0% above the
lender's base rate, (ii) are secured by a first priority lien on all inventory,
accounts receivable and other current assets of the Company, and (iii) mature
on March 31, 1999.  During 1996, the Company repaid the entire balance
outstanding ($9.9 million) under the Credit Facility.  With no borrowings
outstanding at December 31, 1996, and considering the Company's eligible
borrowing base at that date, $17.8 million was available under the Credit
Facility.

     Pursuant to the Credit Facility, the Company will pay an unused facility
fee equal to .5% per annum on the average daily amount of the unused portion of
the facility, payable quarterly, during the revolving period.  The Credit
Facility also contains (i) customary financial covenants, (ii) limitations on
indebtedness, liabilities and liens, (iii) limitations on distributions,
dividends, redemptions, prepayments of other indebtedness and other restricted
payments,  (iv) limitations on mergers and purchases and sales of assets, (v)
limitations on payments to and transactions with affiliates, (vi) limitations
on loans, investments and guarantees, (vii) prohibitions of any "Change of
Control" or change in the Company's business, and (viii) limitations on
amendments to the Company's articles of incorporation, bylaws and Notes.

     The Company's anticipated capital needs through 1997 consist primarily of
(i) interest payments due on the Company's borrowings, (ii) financing any
required growth in working capital, particularly inventories and accounts
receivable, and (iii) financing certain capital expenditures.  Aggregate
capital expenditures are budgeted at approximately $4.0 million in 1997 and
will consist primarily of production machinery, equipment and tooling.  To the
extent available, excess funds will be used to reduce outstanding borrowings
under the Credit Facility.  Management believes that funds generated from
operations and funds available under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to
satisfy the Company's debt service obligations, working capital requirements
and commitments for capital expenditures through at least 1997, but that any
significant acquisitions by the Company would generally require additional
financing.  There can be no assurance that such acquisition financing will be
available to the Company on satisfactory terms.

     Recent Events

     Effective in February 1997, the Company's contract to supply bedliners and
other accessory products to Ford Motor Company was terminated.  The Company's
sales to Ford Motor Company represented 21%, 17% and 19% of net sales for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the period from March 18, 1994 to
December 31, 1994, respectively.  Management believes that the termination of
this contract will have an adverse effect on the Company's operating results in
the near term.  However, because of the reliability of the Company's products
and the strength of the Company's market share, management believes the Company
can obtain additional customers, offsetting the impact of the contract
termination in the future.

Report of Independent Accountants



To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Penda Corporation and Subsidiaries
Portage, Wisconsin

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Penda
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the period from March
18, 1994 through December 31, 1994.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of Penda Corporation's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Penda
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the period from March 18, 1994 through
December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Penda Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1. General:

   Penda Corporation (the "Company"), formerly known as Penda Industries,
   Inc., a Florida corporation, was formed on February 14, 1994 by an
   investor group organized by Trivest, Inc.  The Company had no operations
   during the period February 14, 1994 through March 17, 1994.  On March 18,
   1994, the Company purchased substantially all of the business assets of
   the Proprietary Products Division of TriEnda Corporation, f/k/a Penda
   Corporation, for a cash purchase price of approximately $110,796,000,
   which includes direct acquisition costs of $5,227,000, plus the
   assumption of liabilities in the amount of $4,735,000.  The purchase
   price was financed through the issuance of common stock for $25,000,000,
   Senior Notes for $80,000,000 (See Note 6) and the proceeds of borrowings
   under a revolving line of credit.

   In addition, the Company is required to pay TriEnda up to $5,000,000 if
   certain annual minimum operating profit targets, as defined in the asset
   purchase agreement, are exceeded, subject to maximum annual earnouts of
   $1,000,000 in 1994 and 1995, and $2,000,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998,
   respectively.  Since 1996, 1995 and 1994 minimum operating profit targets
   were exceeded, the annual earnout was accrued and goodwill increased by
   $2,000,000, $1,000,000 and $1,000,000 during 1996, 1995, and the period
   from March 18, 1994 to December 31, 1994, respectively.

   The Company, with manufacturing facilities in Portage, Wisconsin and
   Daleville, Alabama, manufactures and distributes plastic bedliners and
   other accessories for pickup trucks for sale to a variety of automotive
   manufacturers and automobile after-market dealers and retailers
   principally in the United States and Canada.  The Company also
   distributes truck accessories manufactured by other companies through its
   original equipment manufacturer and after-market distribution systems.


2. Significant Accounting Policies:

   The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with
   generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to
   make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
   assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses during the periods presented.
   They also affect the disclosures of contingencies.  Actual results could
   differ from those estimates.

   The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
   the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.

   a.   Consolidation:  The Company's consolidated financial
        statements include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
        All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

   b.   Cash and Cash Equivalents:  Cash in banks and short-term
        investments with maturities of three months or less are considered
        cash and cash equivalents.


                                       19

2. Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

   c.   Inventories:  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
        market with cost determined utilizing the first-in, first-out
        method.

   d.   Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation:  Property,
        plant and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided
        using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
        the assets which range from 3 to 10 years for machinery and
        equipment and furniture and fixtures, and 8 to 40 years for
        buildings and improvements.  Major renewals and betterments are
        capitalized.  Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed
        as incurred.  Upon sale or retirement, the asset cost and related
        accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts
        and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of
        operations.

   e.   Intangible Assets:  Intangible assets include goodwill,
        deferred financing costs, trademarks, patents and a non-compete
        agreement.  Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value
        of net assets acquired and is being amortized over 40 years using
        the straight-line method.  Amortization of other intangibles is
        provided using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of
        the assets which are: the term of the underlying debt agreements for
        deferred financing costs of 5-10 years; 40 years for trademarks;
        10-17 years for patents; and 5 years for non-compete agreements (the
        term of the agreement).  The Company continually evaluates the
        recoverability of its intangible assets by assessing future
        operating profits and cash flows.

   f.   Revenue Recognition:  Revenue is recognized upon shipment of
        product to the customer.

   g.   Advertising Costs:  Advertising costs are expensed the first
        time the advertising takes place.  Amounts charged to advertising
        expense totaled $1,102,000 and $871,000 for the years ended December
        31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $672,000 for the period from
        March 18, 1994 through December 31, 1994.

   h.   Foreign Currency Translation:  The financial statements of
        the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated using the current
        exchange rate for assets and liabilities and the weighted average
        exchange rate for the year for income statement items.  Resulting
        translation adjustments are recorded directly to a separate
        component of shareholders' equity.

   i.   Income Taxes:  The Company recognizes deferred income taxes
        to reflect the tax consequences of temporary differences between the
        bases of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting
        and income tax purposes


                                       20

2. Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

  j. Net Income Per Share:  Net income per share is based on the
     weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
     equivalents outstanding.

     The Company is required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standard ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", in 1997.  SFAS 128
     specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements
     for earnings per share.  The adoption of this statement is not expected
     to have a material impact on the earnings per share reported in the
     financial statements.  Upon adoption of this statement, all
     prior-period earnings per share amounts will be restated to conform
     to the provisions of SFAS 128.


3. Acquisition:

   On July 14, 1995, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Tri-Glas
   Corporation ("Tri-Glas"), acquired certain assets and assumed certain
   liabilities of VMC Fiberglas Products, Inc. (D.b.a. Tri-Glas Industries)
   ("VMC").  Tri-Glas, with manufacturing facilities in Daleville, Alabama,
   manufactures pickup truck, van and sport utility vehicle accessories,
   including pickup truck caps, running boards, visors and van conversion
   tops, and also manufactures sleeper cabs for heavy duty trucks.  These
   products are sold primarily to automobile after-market dealers and
   retailers in the United States.  The acquired assets consisted of
   substantially all of the assets of VMC except for certain real property.
   The aggregate consideration paid for the VMC assets was $10,903,000,
   which included cash payments to seller totaling $7,562,000, a $2,000,000
   note due to the former owner of VMC, direct acquisition costs of $791,000
   and assumption of liabilities in the amount of $550,000.  The transaction
   was financed through proceeds from the Company's revolving credit
   facility.

   The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of
   accounting.  The cost of the acquisition has been allocated to the assets
   acquired and the liabilities assumed on the basis of their underlying
   fair value.  The excess of the cost over the fair value of the net assets
   acquired is $7,821,000, and is being amortized over 40 years.  The
   operating results subsequent to the acquisition of Tri-Glas have been
   included in the Company's consolidated operating results.

</TABLE>

The Company has outstanding $80,000,000 of 10 3/4% Series B Senior Notes
Due 2004 (Senior Notes).  Interest is due semiannually and the notes are
unsecured.  The Senior Notes have certain early redemption provisions
whereby the Company, at its option, can retire up to $25,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount, at a redemption price  equal to 110% of par,
from the proceeds of an initial public offering and any subsequent public
offering of common stock.  In addition, the Company can redeem all or any
portion of the Senior Notes on March 1, 1999 at a redemption price of
105.375% of par.  Subsequent to March 1, 1999, the redemption price will
decline to par at maturity based upon a predetermined schedule.

The Company also has a revolving credit agreement with a bank which
provides for maximum borrowings of $19,500,000 at either 1.0% above the
lender's base rate, or 2.5% above the lender's eurodollar rate.  The
maximum borrowings amount will be reduced by $1,500,000 on July 14 in
each of the years 1997 and 1998.  The revolving credit agreement is
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable
and inventories.  Borrowings under this agreement are due March 1999.
Annual commitment fees under the revolving credit agreement are 1/2% of
the unused portion of the available credit.

The Company's Senior Notes and revolving credit agreement contain
covenants that restrict the payment of cash dividends, the issuance of
new debt and require the Company to maintain minimum amounts of net worth
and certain financial ratios.  Under the most restrictive covenant, cash
dividends paid shall not exceed $1,000,000 plus the sum of 50% of
consolidated net income of the Company.  The Company's management
believes it is in compliance with all covenants of these agreements as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, except that it has received an irrevocable
waiver for covenant violations related to a fixed charge coverage ratio
in 1995.

In connection with the acquisition of Tri-Glas during 1995, the Company
issued the seller a promissory note in the amount of $2,000,000 with
interest at 8% due semiannually.  Principal payments of $400,000 are due
August 15 in each of the years 1997 through 2001.  Payment of this
promissory note is subordinated to the borrowings under the revolving
credit agreement.

During 1995 the Company purchased certain intellectual property rights
for $418,000; two interest-free notes totaling $240,000 were issued,
plus cash of $178,000.  The notes were paid in full during 1996.

6. Debt, Continued:

   In January 1996, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement for
   manufacturing equipment.  The lease expires December 2000.  The Company
   has an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for
   $776,000.  Lease payments are due in monthly installments including
   interest at 8%.

   The fair value of the long-term debt, other than the capital lease
   obligations, approximates $79,800,000 at December 31, 1996 based upon
   quoted market prices for the senior notes and the present value of future
   cash flows for the note payable using the interest rate of 9.75% on the
   Company's revolving credit facility at December 31, 1996.


7. Income Taxes:

   Income taxes consist of the following for the year ended December 31,
   1996 and 1995 and for the period from March 18,1994 through December 31,
   1994:

      The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $116,000 for the year ended
      December 31, 1996 to provide for uncertainties relating to the
      realization of certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards which
      expire after ten years.

8. Lease Commitments:

      The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for equipment,
      computers, vehicles and warehouses used in its operations.  These leases
      expire through 2001.  Rent expense under such leases approximated
      $2,380,000 and  $1,163,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
      1995, respectively, and $712,000 for the period from March 18, 1994
      through December 31, 1994.  Future minimum lease payments under
      noncancelable operating leases at December 31, 1996 are as follows:


                       1997          $  436,535
                       1998             366,946

                                       25



<PAGE>   26



9. Employee Benefit Plans:

   The Company maintains a defined contribution employee benefit plan which
   covers all employees.  The plan requires the Company to make matching
   contributions equal to 25% on the first 6% of each plan participant's
   contribution.  The plan also allows for the Company to make discretionary
   contributions each year.  Contributions approximated $217,000 and
   $103,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
   and $284,000 for the period from March 18, 1994 through December 31,
   1994.


10. Major Customers and Foreign Sales:

    The Company had sales to two major customers in the automotive industry
    which approximated 21% and 20% of total sales for the year ended December
    31, 1996, 17% and 16% of total sales for the year ended December 31,
    1995, and 19% and 14% of total sales for the period from March 18, 1994
    through December 31, 1994.  See Note 11.

    The Company's sales to customers in foreign countries, principally
    Canada, approximated $8,920,000 and $7,112,000 for the years ended
    December 31, 1996 and 1995, and $5,429,000 for
    the period from March 18, 1994 through December 31, 1994.


11. Concentrations of Credit and Other Risks:

    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
    concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables with
    a variety of automotive industry original equipment manufacturers and
    automobile after-market dealers and retailers.  The Company generally
    does not require collateral from its customers.  Credit risk which such
    customers is considered by management to be limited due to the general
    creditworthiness of its customers and its broad customer base.

    The Company is directly affected by the well-being of the automotive
    industry and a total or partial loss of the Company's business
    relationship with its major customers could result in a possible loss of
    sales, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's operating
    results. Effective in February 1997, the Company's contract to supply
    bedliners and accessory products to one of its major customers was
    terminated.  Management believes that the termination of this contract
    will have an adverse effect on the Company's operating results in the
    near term.  However, because of the reliability of the Company's products
    and the strength of the Company's market share, management believes the
    Company will be able to obtain additional customers offsetting the impact
    of the contract termination in the future.

<PAGE>   27



11. Concentrations of Credit and Other Risks, Continued:

    The Company currently purchases substantially all of its virgin plastic
    materials from two suppliers; however, management believes that numerous
    alternative sources of supply are readily available on comparable terms.
    Despite the Company's reliance on a few primary resources,
    management does not foresee conditions in the virgin plastic materials
    market which would lead to shortage of supply or drastic price increases
    in the near term.



12. Stock Options:

    The Penda Corporation Management Stock Option Plan, as amended, (the
    "Plan"), provides for the issuance of options to purchase 52,632 shares
    of common stock as an incentive to certain key employees.  A total of
    10,974 options are available to be granted annually through 1998
    contingent upon attainment of certain annual financial results.  Options
    have a term of ten years and are exercisable as to 25% of the shares on
    each anniversary date of the option grant at a per share exercise price
    equal to the book value per share on the first day of the year that the
    required financial results were attained.  The Company achieved the
    required financial results for the period ending December 31, 1994 and,
    as a result, options to acquire 10,526 shares of common stock for $25 per
    share were awarded.  The Company did not achieve the required financial
    results for the year ended December 31, 1995.  During 1996, the Company's
    board of directors approved the granting of a portion of the options not
    earned in 1995.  The Company achieved the required financial results for
    the year ended December 31, 1996.  Also in 1996, 1,642 options were
    canceled due to the termination of employment of an option holder.  Total
    compensation expense approximated $114,000 and $0 for the years ended
    December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $65,000 for the period from
    March 18, 1994 through December 31, 1994.  Stock option transactions are
    summarized as follows:

12. Stock Options, Continued:

    The outstanding stock options at December 31, 1996 have a range of
    exercise prices between $25.00 and $34.75 per option and have a weighted
    average contractual life of approximately 8.2 years.  At December 31,
    1996, 4,853 options are currently exercisable. The fair value at date of
    grant for options granted during 1996 was $39.76 per option.  No options
    were granted during 1995.  The fair value of options at date of grant was
    estimated by subtracting the present value of the exercise price from the
    fair value of the stock.  In order to perform this calculation, an
    estimated life of the options of seven years and an estimated risk-free
    interest rate of 6.47% were assumed.

    The Company applies Accounting Principles Board No. 25, under which
    compensation cost has been recognized in the statements of income as the
    difference between the fair value of the stock and the exercise price at
    the date of grant.  Had compensation cost been determined under an
    alternate method suggested by the Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the effect
    on 1996 and 1995 net income and earnings per share would not have been
    significant.



13. Supplemental Cash Flow Information:

    Cash paid for interest and income taxes for the years ended December 31,
    1996 and 1995, and for the period from March 18, 1994 through December
    31, 1994 was as follows:

14. Related Party Transactions:

    The Company has entered into a 10-year consulting agreement ("the
    Agreement") with Trivest, an affiliate of its major shareholders.
    Pursuant to the Agreement, Trivest provides corporate finance, strategic
    and capital planning and other management advice to the Company for an
    annual fee (subject to cost of living adjustments).  Additionally,
    Trivest's annual fee will be increased for each additional business
    operation acquired or sold by the Company, based upon a percentage of the
    purchase or sales price and the financial results of the operation
    acquired.

    Management and other fees paid to Trivest totaled $434,000 and $397,000
    for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and
    $228,000 for the period from March 18, 1994 through December 31, 1994.
    Additionally, during 1995, the Company paid Trivest $142,500 in
    connection with the acquisition described in Note 3.

15. Tri-Glas Fire Loss:

    On June 3, 1996, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Tri-Glas
    Corporation, suffered a fire in one of its two main production buildings.
    The building, along with equipment inside the building at the time of
    the fire, was completely destroyed.  During 1996, the Company received
    insurance proceeds in excess of the net book value of the assets lost in
    the fire of approximately $486,000.  The gain is recorded as other income
    in the consolidated statements of income.  The insurance proceeds are
    being  used by the Company to replace the building and equipment lost in
    the fire.


16.  Contingencies:

     During 1996, a lawsuit, Christopher G. Houska v. Citgo Petroleum
     Corporation, et al., was filed against the Company and various other
     defendants.  The complaint alleges that the plaintiff suffered personal
     injuries from a fire which occurred while he was fueling a portable
     kerosene container in the bed of his pickup truck.  The plaintiff has
     alleged that the Company's predecessor, TriEnda Corporation, designed,
     manufactured and sold the bedliner which was installed in his truck at
     the time of the fire, and that the Company is liable as the successor of
     TriEnda.  The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified
     amount, an unspecified amount of punitive damages, and court costs.  The
     case is in the discovery phase.  Management believes that the Company has
     adequate insurance coverage for any potential adverse judgment in this
     case.  Although insurance proceeds would not be available to satisfy a
     judgment on the punitive damages claim, Management believes that the
     punitive damages claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend
     against such claim.  The Company has made a demand against TriEnda
     Corporation for indemnification in connection with this case.

     The Company, along with various other manufacturers of pickup truck
     bedliners, has been identified as a defendant in seven class action
     lawsuits.  The complaints allege that the bedliners manufactured by the
     defendants are defective and unreasonably dangerous because the bedliners
     supposedly prevent the discharge of static electricity which can
     accumulate on or in portable fuel containers and thereby create the
     potential for an explosion.  The plaintiffs seek damages in unspecified
     amounts and equitable relief, including a recall and replacement of all
     bedliners, or a refund, and notification to all bedliner owners of the
     purported danger.  The complaints either request punitive damages or
     reserve the right to seek punitive damages at a later date.  Management
     believes that the claims in these lawsuits are without merit and has
     specifically denied any fault or omission or any liability or violation
     of law in connection with these claims.  The Company is in the
     preliminary stages of settlement discussions.  In the event that
     settlement discussions could terminate, the Company intends to vigorously
     defend these lawsuits.

     The Company filed a lawsuit against The Colonel's Inc. and The Colonel's
     International Inc., alleging that the defendants have infringed on a
     patent owned by the Company.  The defendants have filed a counterclaim
     against the Company seeking a declaratory judgment that the patent at
     issue is invalid and/or not infringed, and a second counterclaim alleging
     that the Company's patent infringement claim constituted unfair
     competition by the Company.  The Company believes that the defendants'
     counterclaims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against
     them.  This case is in the discovery phase.

     On January 2, 1997, The Colonel's Inc. filed a lawsuit against the
     Company alleging that the Company has infringed on a patent owned by The
     Colonel's Inc.  The complaint seeks injunctive

16. Contingencies,  Continued:

    relief, treble damages, and court costs.  The Company believes that this
    lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it.

    Because of the unspecified damages in the above cases, and because of the
    fact that these cases are in their early stages, the Company is unable to
    determine at this time, the potential liability, if any.


17. Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited):

    The following presents financial data regarding the Company's quarterly
    results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 (in
    thousands, except per share data):

(1)  Based on assumed annual rates of stock price appreciation from the fair
     value of the Company's common stock as of the grant date in accordance
     with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 "Accounting for
     Stock Based Compensation".  These amounts represent assumed rates of
     appreciation only.  Actual gains, if any, on stock options exercises and
     common stock holdings are dependent on the future performance of the
     Company and the market available for the sale of the Company's common
     stock.  The Company's common stock is not registered under Section 12 of
     the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

(2)  The options become exercisable as to  25% of the shares on each
     anniversary of the date of grant (beginning January 1, 1997) over a four
     year period, so long as employment with the Company continues.  The Board
     of Directors may, in its discretion, accelerate the date on which any
     option may be exercised, and may accelerate the vesting of any shares
     subject to any option.

(3)  Options to purchase a total of 15,799.86 shares were granted in 1996.
     The percentage shown in this column represents the percentage arrived at
     by dividing the number of options granted to the named Executive Officer
     by the total number of options granted in 1996.

     Stock Options Exercises and Fiscal Year-end Holdings

     No named Executive Officer exercised stock options during 1996.  The
