                                    PART 1.
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
     Sun Coast Industries, Inc. ("Sun Coast" or the "Company") manufactures and
sells plastic closures, lids and melamine and urea resins and compounds. The
Resins and Compounds Division manufactures melamine and urea resins and
compounds, which it supplies to other manufacturers and has used in producing
its own consumer products and foodservice products. The Closures Division
manufactures linerless, foil or foam lined and tamper-evident plastic closures
and lids. These closures are used in the U.S. for bottling and packaging of
food, beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical products. The Consumer Products and
Foodservice Tableware Divisions, which are being discontinued (see Note 2 of
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements), manufacture compression molded
melamine dinnerware and injection molded plastic drinkware and other household
products, which the Company sells to U.S., Canadian and Mexican retail and
commercial markets.
 
CONTINUING OPERATIONS:
 
RESINS AND COMPOUNDS DIVISION
 
     Sun Coast manufactures melamine and urea resins and molding compounds at
its facilities in Dallas, Texas, and Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Sun Coast believes
that its proprietary formulations and technical expertise enable it to provide
consistently high quality chemical products. The Company sells these products
directly to its customers, which use them as raw materials in their own
manufacturing processes. Sun Coast is also a leading supplier of melamine resin
to manufacturers of decorative laminate, which is used for countertops and
tabletops and other furniture and fixture and flooring surfaces. Sun Coast is a
leading supplier of urea and melamine molding compounds to U.S. manufacturers of
electrical outlet and switch plates.
 
     Melamine resists scratching, breaking and chipping; it also resists grease
and weak acid and it is odorless and easy to clean. Urea is similar in nature
but less expensive to produce and less durable than melamine. Melamine resin is
made principally from melamine crystals, formaldehyde and water which are
combined in a heated reactor. Urea resin is made using a similar process with
the same raw materials, with the substitution of urea crystals for melamine
crystals. Molding compounds are made from melamine or urea resin and purified
cellulose fillers, pigments, plasticizers and curing agents. These materials are
combined in a wet mixture, dried and ground to a fine powder.
 
     There are three other major U.S. suppliers of melamine and urea molding
compounds similar to those supplied by the Company and many major suppliers of
melamine and urea resins. Some of these suppliers have greater resources than
the Company and are parts of large, diversified companies. In this highly
competitive market, the Company competes on the basis of product quality,
customer service and price.
 
CLOSURES DIVISION
 
     Sun Coast manufactures linerless, foil or foam lined and tamper-evident
plastic closures and lids. The Company markets these products directly, and
through distributors and sales representatives, to manufacturers of packaged
food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. These plastic closures seal
food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical containers generally made of
plastic.
 
     Plastic closures are injection molded from polypropylene or polyethylene.
Key factors such as cycle time, the optimal number of mold cavities and the
quality of the mold are important in attaining production efficiency and cost
control. Sun Coast prototypes custom closures for the purpose of testing and
qualifying the closures for use with customers' products.
 
     Plastic closures offer an advantage over metal ones, because metal closures
may chemically react with some foods. Plastic closures also allow the use of a
foil lined induction inner-seal for tamper evidence -- a feature metal closures
lack. Sun Coast's lined closures are used with a variety of food and beverage
products, including juices, sauces, dressings and peanut butter. The design of
the Company's Sun-Tab foil seal, widely used in peanut butter packaging,
incorporates a series of three small tabs that extend over the edge of the
 
                                        1
<PAGE>   3
 
container. The consumer grasps any one of the tabs to remove the entire liner.
Sun Coast owns several patents encompassing closure and tamper-evident band
designs as well as a patent on a plastic closure for hermetic, pressure or
vacuum sealing of glass or plastic bottles and jars.
 
     The Company's Sun-Twist closure is used as a tamper-evident, easy-opening
seal for "hot-fill" beverages, including fruit juices, teas and isotonic sport
drinks. The "hot-fill" market is one of the fastest growing for the Closures
Division. This market has developed in connection with beverage packers'
replacement of glass bottles with polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") bottles,
which are highly attractive to consumers because they are lightweight and have
the clarity of glass.
 
     Sun Coast competes with several major corporations and numerous smaller
companies in the highly competitive closures market. The Company is a medium
size manufacturer in this industry and competes primarily on price, quality,
delivery and service.
 
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
 
CONSUMER PRODUCTS AND FOODSERVICE DIVISIONS
 
     On December 6, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a formal plan
to dispose of its Foodservice and Consumer Products Tableware Divisions,
including the Company's subsidiary in Mexico and to consider strategic
alternatives related to the on-going business. These divisions have been
accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30, which among other provisions, requires the plan
of disposal to be carried out within one year. Management believes this is a
reasonable time period for the disposal. In February 1997, the Company sold its
Foodservice Division and it has plans underway to exit the Consumer Products
Tableware Division, either through sale or termination of operations.
 
     Based on management's assumptions used in determining the estimated loss
from the disposal of the Tableware business, the Company recorded a provision of
$4.9 million, net of income taxes, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. This
loss consisted of the estimated net loss on the sale of the Foodservice Division
and estimated net loss on the exit of the Consumer Products Tableware Division
of approximately $4.0 million, net of income taxes, as well as estimated
operating losses during the period required to dispose of the divisions of
approximately $0.9 million, net of income taxes.
 
     Sales for the divisions for the five months of fiscal 1997 prior to the
December 6th Board's decision to discontinue these operations were $7.7 million.
Sales for the twelve month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 were $24.5 and
$21.9 million, respectively. Interest expense allocated to the operating losses
of the discontinued operations was calculated as the ratio of the discontinued
operations net assets to the sum of consolidated net assets and consolidated
debt, multiplied by interest expense for the period.
 
     The net assets of discontinued operations at June 30, 1997 were $7.6
million including an estimated reserve for loss on disposal of $3.3 million. The
remaining reserve for loss on disposal is considered adequate at June 30, 1997
to cover estimated future costs of disposal of the Consumer Products Tableware
Division.
 
     See Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
HISTORICAL BACKLOG
 
     The Company's backlog is comprised of written purchase orders and
contracts, substantially all of which are cancelable on short -- generally 30
days -- notice. There is no assurance that some portion of the backlog may not
be canceled or that the level of backlog at any particular time is an
appropriate indicator of the future operating performance of the Company.
 
     Backlog for products of the Resins and Compounds Division decreased 2.1% to
$3.0 million at June 30, 1997 from $3.1 million at June 30, 1996. This decrease
reflects shorter term purchase commitments as customers attempt to manage
inventory levels.
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   4
 
     Backlog for products of the Closures Division increased 26.0% to $36.9
million at June 30, 1997 from $29.3 million at June 30, 1996. This increase
primarily reflects increased volume of orders from existing customers as well as
orders from new customers. Management attributes this increase to the
consistency of the Closures Division's product quality and its level of customer
service.
 
     In the Resins and Compounds Division, orders are generally shipped within
30 to 60 days of receipt. In the Closures Division, orders are based primarily
on customers' annual estimated needs. Other orders are for specific quantities
and some are multi-year. Customer commitments require delivery of a quantity of
closures per month for a specific number of months, with seasonal variations.
These commitments are generally subject to cancellation at the discretion of the
customer on 30 days' notice to the Company; however, longer term contracts do
include cancellation penalties. Customer written purchase orders for specific
quantities are generally filled as received, either out of inventory or current
production.
 
MAJOR CUSTOMERS
 
     The Company supplies chemical products for several large customers which
may result in one customer accounting for more than 10% of the Company's net
sales in a given fiscal year. In fiscal 1997, sales of chemical products to
Wilsonart International, Inc. and Eagle Plastics, Inc. accounted for
approximately $14.2 million or 21.3% and $10.6 million or 15.9%, of the
Company's net sales, respectively.
 
     The Company has sold chemical products to Wilsonart International, Inc. for
more than 20 years on the basis, the Company believes, of quality, service,
delivery and price. Wilsonart International, Inc. and Eagle Plastics, Inc. buy
through purchase orders issued periodically, which can be discontinued at any
time. Management believes that the Company has a good relationship with both
Wilsonart International, Inc. and Eagle Plastics, Inc.; however, the loss of
either of these customers or a significant portion of its business, would
adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company. See Note
11 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     The Company has research and development laboratories at its principal
manufacturing facilities in Texas and Florida, where it continuously tests its
products, engages in product application research and endeavors to develop new
products to complement those presently offered. The Company employs nine people
in research and development, including one Ph.D. and two chemists. Research and
development expenditures for fiscal 1995, 1996, and 1997 were $1.1 million, $0.7
million, and $1.2 million, respectively.
 
RAW MATERIALS
 
     The principal raw materials used by the Company in manufacturing plastic
products and compounds are melamine crystals, urea crystals, styrene
acrylonitrile, polypropylene and polyethylene resins, formaldehyde, cellulose
fillers, pigments, plasticizers, curing agents and lining material.
Historically, these materials have been available in sufficient quantities for
the Company's needs; however, during fiscal 1998, the world-wide supply of
melamine is not meeting demand causing price increases during the first and
second quarters.
 
     Although the cost of raw materials used in the Company's operations have
historically been relatively stable, their prices increased significantly during
fiscal 1995 and the first half of fiscal 1996. The most dramatic change was in
the prices of formaldehyde, melamine and pulp. These repeated cost increases had
a significant impact on gross margin and earnings during fiscal 1995 and fiscal
1996. Costs did decline in the second half of fiscal 1996 improving
profitability in fiscal 1997. See additional discussion in Item 7, Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     At June 30, 1997 Sun Coast had 454 employees, of whom 99 were office or
clerical and 355 hourly manufacturing. Local No. 745 of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America is the
exclusive collective bargaining agent for the approximately 213 hourly
manufacturing employees at the Company's Dallas, Texas facility pursuant to a
three-year union contract which expires on March 31, 1998. None of the Company's
139 hourly employees at its Sarasota, Florida
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   5
 
facility, or the 3 hourly employees at its Murfreesboro, Tennessee facility is
represented by a labor union. Management believes that it has a good
relationship with its employees.
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
     The Company owns a 72,000 square foot office, manufacturing and warehouse
building and a 74,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse building in
Sarasota, Florida. In Dallas, Texas, it also owns a 348,000 square foot office
and manufacturing building and a 75,000 square foot warehouse which is currently
underutilized and is listed for sale. At the Florida facilities, the Company
manufactures closures. At its Texas facility, the Company manufactures melamine
and plastic injection molded consumer products and foodservice products and
chemical products. Both Texas facilities and one Florida facility secure the
Company's existing bank indebtedness. In Mexico City, Mexico, the Company leases
a 32,000 square foot office, manufacturing and warehouse facility under a lease
expiring in April 1999 and has entered into a one year renewable lease for
23,000 square feet of additional warehouse space effective July 1, 1995. In
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, the Company leases approximately 5,000 square feet of
space to manufacture chemical products. The Company believes that, after its
sale of the Texas 75,000 square foot warehouse, its properties are adequate for
current uses.
 
     On September 12, 1996 the Company sold a 60,000 square foot manufacturing
building in Dallas, Texas for $525,000 in cash and a note in the principal
amount of $200,000. The proceeds were used to repay bank debt.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company is a defendant in certain legal proceedings that management
regards as normal to its business. The Company believes that the disposition of
these matters will not have a material impact on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.
 
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     At September 22, 1997, there were approximately 2,245 record holders of the
Common Stock.
 
     The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on the Common Stock.
Management intends to retain any future earnings for the operation and expansion
of the Company's business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in
the foreseeable future. The Company's existing credit facility restricts the
Company's ability to pay dividends. See Note 6 of Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR FISCAL 1997 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1996
 
     Net sales increased 13.3% to $66.7 million during 1997 from $58.9 million
in 1996. Closure Division's sales increased 5.0% to $28.9 million in 1997 from
$27.6 million in 1996 and Resins and Compounds Division's sales increased 20.6%
to $37.8 million in 1997 from $31.3 million in 1996 both due to increased
customer orders, certain of which are non-recurring in the Resins and Compounds
Division.
 
     Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 80.4% in 1997 from
82.5% in 1996. This improvement in gross margin was due primarily to the
increased sales volume and decreased raw material prices. Additional overhead
may be charged to the Resins and Compounds Division in the future due to the
shutdown of the Consumer Products and Foodservice Tableware Divisions; however,
it is too early to predict the impact on future cost of sales.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") decreased 13.3% to
$7.2 million in 1997 from $8.3 million in 1996. The reduction in SG&A in 1997 is
primarily due to a non-recurring severance payment made to the former President
of the Company in February 1996, and other related expenses.
 
     Despite lower average borrowings during the year, interest expense
increased 28.3% from 1996 to 1997 primarily due to an increase in interest rates
with new bank financing completed in January 1997. The average outstanding
borrowings during 1997 were $25.5 million compared to an average of $29.5
million in 1996.
 
     Income from continuing operations was $2.3 million ($0.58 per share) in
fiscal 1997 versus income from continuing operations of $0.2 million ($0.05 per
share) in fiscal 1996. This increase is primarily due to increased sales volumes
in fiscal 1997 and the severance payments in fiscal 1996, discussed above.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995
 
     Total sales decreased 4.2% to $58.9 million during 1996 from $61.5 million
in 1995. Substantially all of this decrease occurred in the first half of the
year and related principally to volume declines in response to the Company's
effort to pass through raw material cost increases on the Company's product
lines. Sales in the Resins and Compounds Division decreased 10.3% to $31.3
million in 1996 from $34.9 million in 1995. The
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   9
 
decrease in Resins and Compounds Division sales was due to volume decreases as
customers declined to accept price increases and instead used the opportunity to
reduce their own inventory levels as their markets weakened. Sales in the
Closures Division increased 3.8% to $27.6 million in 1996 from $26.5 million in
1995, resulting from price increases and the addition of new products and
customers.
 
     Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 82.5% in 1996 from
82.3% in 1995. The decline in gross margin was the result of raw material price
increases and related volume declines as customers resisted price pass-throughs
from the increased costs of raw materials.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") decreased 8.4% to $8.3
million in 1996 from $9.1 million in 1995. The decrease is attributed to the
overall decline in sales volumes.
 
     Interest expense increased 22.3% from 1995 to 1996 due to increased
borrowings and higher interest rates near the end of fiscal 1996. The average
outstanding borrowings during 1996 were $29.5 million compared to an average of
$25.9 million in 1995.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     Management reviews the Company's working capital, accounts receivable and
relationship of debt to equity on a continuing basis. The Company's growth has
been financed through long-term debt financing and cash generated from
operations. During fiscal 1997, the Company repaid net borrowings by $9.9
million. Cash flow from continuing operations generated $13.0 million.
 
     Capital expenditures for fiscal 1997 were $4.0 million including
approximately $2 million for the purchase, in January 1997, of a second facility
to expand capacity in the Closures Division in Florida. Anticipated future
capital additions should approximate $3 million during fiscal 1998.
 
     At June 30, 1997, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $0.3 million
and working capital was $2.1 million. In addition, the Company had total
long-term debt outstanding of $19.3 million (including current portion), with a
weighted average interest rate at June 30, 1997 of 9.5%.
 
     In January 1997, the Company refinanced its existing debt with a new lender
to provide a total credit facility of $30 million in borrowings secured by
substantially all the assets of the Company. The facility provides for
borrowings under three separate arrangements -- (i) a term loan in an aggregate
principal amount of $10 million payable in monthly installments through January
31, 2000, (ii) a second term loan in an aggregate principle amount of $5 million
payable in monthly installments beginning January 1, 1998 through January 31,
2000, and (iii) a $15.0 million revolving loan, due January 31, 2000. As of June
30, 1997, outstanding borrowings under the credit facility included $13.7
million under the two term loans and $3.6 million under the revolving credit
line. At June 30, 1997 based on the Company's borrowing formula, incremental
borrowing availability was approximately $7.6 million under the revolving credit
line. The credit facility provides for the issuance of up to $2.0 million of
letters of credit, subject to the borrowing availability under the revolving
credit line. The loan agreement contains various covenants, including
maintaining certain financial ratios and tests, limitations on the issuance of
debt and the amount of capital expenditures, capital leases, investments and
dividends. The primary financial covenants include quarter end calculations of
net worth, working capital and fixed charge coverage and a limitation on annual
capital expenditures.
 
     The Company's plan to discontinue its Tableware business should not have an
overall material impact on liquidity. Certain cash proceeds were received from
the sale of its Foodservice Division and there were offsetting cash needs
related to severance, relocation and other costs of discontinuing the Consumer
Products Division. The majority of costs related to the discontinuation of the
tableware business are non-cash.
 
     Management believes internally generated funds and proceeds from sale of
assets should be adequate to meet future debt repayments and capital expenditure
needs.
 
     The Company's Mexican subsidiary, included in discontinued operations, is
subject to currency risk to the extent its net assets, denominated in pesos, are
devalued against the U.S. dollar.

INFLATION
 
     The effect of inflation on operating costs has been minimal in prior years.
However, the cost of raw materials used in the Company's operations increased
significantly during 1995 and early 1996. These increased raw material costs had
a material impact upon the Company's gross margin and earnings during fiscal
1995 and 1996. While some raw materials experienced declines in price in fiscal
1997 helping overall profitability, the overall future impact is not predictable
at this time. Currently, the world-wide supply of melamine is not meeting demand
causing price increases in the first two quarters of 1998.
 
AUTHORITATIVE PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share," No. 129 "Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure," No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
and No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." Statements 128 and 129 are required to be adopted in fiscal 1998
and Statements 130 and 131 are required to be adopted in fiscal 1999. Statement
128 requires the disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share, which
measures are not expected to differ significantly from the primary and fully
diluted earnings per share presently disclosed. Statement 130 will require the
Company to report comprehensive income and its components with the same
prominence as other financial statements. Statements 129 and 131 are not
expected to significantly change the Company's current disclosures.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
Sun Coast Industries, Inc.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sun Coast
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for
each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 1997. In connection
with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited
the accompanying financial statement schedule. These consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule 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 financial position of Sun Coast
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1997, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended June 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995, 1996 AND 1997
 
NOTE 1 -- THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
     Sun Coast Industries, Inc. (the "Company") manufactures and sells plastic
closures, lids and melamine and urea resins and compounds. The Resins and
Compounds Division manufactures melamine and urea resins and compounds, which it
supplies to other manufacturers and uses in producing its own consumer products
and foodservice products. The Closures Division manufactures linerless, foil or
foam lined and tamper-evident plastic closures and lids. These closures are used
in the U.S. for bottling and packaging of food, beverage, chemical and
pharmaceutical products. The Consumer Products and Foodservice Divisions, which
are being discontinued (see Note 2), manufacture compression molded melamine
dinnerware and injection molded plastic drinkware and other houseware products,
which the Company sells to U.S., Canadian and Mexican retail and commercial
markets.
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified
to conform with the current year consolidated financial statement presentation.
The preparation of consolidated 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 at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
 
INVENTORIES
 
     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
utilizing the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. See Note 3.
 
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
 
     Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Lives assigned to asset categories are 5 to 15 years for machinery and
equipment, 30 to 35 years for buildings and 5 years for molds. Machinery and
equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease
payments and amortized over 1 to 3 years. Renewals and improvements that
significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an
asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred.
 
GOODWILL
 
     Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of
net identifiable assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
expected periods to be benefited, ranging from 5-20 years. The Company assesses
the recoverability of this intangible asset by determining whether the
amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life can be recovered
through undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired operation. The
amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted
future operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's
average operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's
average cost of funds. The assessment of the recoverability of goodwill will be
impacted if estimated future operating cash flows are not achieved.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF
 
     The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, on
July 1, 1996. This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell. Adoption of the Statement did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
 
ADVERTISING COSTS
 
     The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred, except for
direct-response advertising and catalog costs which are capitalized and
amortized over their expected periods of future benefit (generally six months).
Direct response advertising and catalog costs consist primarily of printing and
contract services for catalogs to market the Company's products. Advertising
expense for fiscal years 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $212,000, $97,000 and $14,000,
respectively.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
     Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between
financial and tax reporting. Income taxes are provided for taxes currently
payable based on taxable income (loss). The principal temporary differences are
described in Note 7.
 
STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     Prior to July 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its stock option plan in
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.
As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the
current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. On
July 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting
period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant.
Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma
earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in fiscal
1996 and future years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123
had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of
APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No.
123. See Note 8.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
 
     A liability for environmental assessments and/or cleanup is accrued when it
is probable a loss has been incurred and is estimable. No significant liability
exists at June 30, 1997.
 
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
 
     Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each
year after giving effect to stock options and warrants considered to be dilutive
common stock equivalents. The weighted average number of common shares

outstanding was 4,076,792 in 1995, 4,005,394 in 1996 and 4,045,713 in 1997.
Primary and fully diluted net income (loss) per common share amounts are the
same.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     Sales are recognized when the product is shipped. Sales are shown net of
returns and allowances.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     Research and development costs associated with new product development,
application and testing are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs
amounted to $1,086,000, $733,000 and $1,222,000 in fiscal years 1995, 1996 and
1997 respectively.
 
STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
 
     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at June 30, 1996 and 1997 were not
significant. Noncash capital lease financing transactions totaled $121,000 in
fiscal 1995 and $265,000 in fiscal 1997 and a noncash treasury stock transaction
totaled $153,000 in fiscal 1996. Common stock issued in conjunction with debt
refinancing was valued at $283,000 in fiscal 1997 (See Note 6). See Note 12 for
additional noncash transactions.
 
NOTE 2 -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
     On December 6, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a formal plan
to dispose of its Foodservice and Consumer Products Tableware Divisions
including the Company's foreign subsidiary in Mexico and to consider strategic
alternatives related to the on-going business. These divisions have been
accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30, which among other provisions, requires the plan
of disposal to be carried out within one year. Management believes this is a
reasonable time period for the disposal. In February 1997, the Company sold its
Foodservice Division for cash proceeds of $2,104,000 and it has plans underway
to exit the Consumer Products Tableware Division, either through sale or
termination of operations.
 
     Based on management's assumptions used in determining the estimated gain or
loss from the disposal of the tableware business, the Company recorded a
provision of $4,855,000, net of income taxes, for the loss on disposal of the
discontinued business in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. This loss on
disposal of discontinued operations resulted from the estimated net loss on the
sale of the Foodservice Division and estimated net loss on the exit of the
Consumer Products Tableware Division of approximately $3,997,000, net of income
taxes, as well as estimated operating losses during the period required to
dispose of the divisions of approximately $858,000, net of income taxes.
 
     Sales of the divisions for the five months of fiscal 1997 prior to the
December 6th Board's decision to discontinue these operations were $7,678,000.
Sales for the twelve month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 were $24,532,000
and $21,911,000, respectively. Interest expense allocated to the operating
losses of the discontinued operations was calculated as the ratio of the
discontinued operations net assets to the sum of consolidated net assets and
consolidated debt, multiplied by interest expense for the period.
 
     The remaining reserve for loss on disposal is considered adequate at June
30, 1997, to cover estimated future costs of disposal of the Consumer Products
Tableware Division.

     On January 31, 1997, the Company refinanced its existing debt with a new
lender to provide a total credit facility of $30 million in borrowings secured
by substantially all the assets of the Company. The facility provides for
borrowings under three separate arrangements -- (i) a term loan in an aggregate
principal amount of $10 million payable in monthly installments through January
31, 2000, (ii) a second term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $5 million
payable in monthly installments beginning January 1, 1998 through January 31,
2000, and (iii) a $15.0 million revolving loan, due January 31, 2000. As of June
30, 1997, outstanding borrowings under the credit facility included $13.7
million under the two term loans, and $3.6 million under the revolving credit
line. At June 30, 1997, based on the Company's borrowing formula incremental
borrowing availability was approximately $7.6 million under the revolving credit
line. The credit facility provides for the issuance of up to $2.0 million of
letters of credit, subject to the borrowing availability under the revolving
credit line. The loan agreement contains various covenants, including
maintaining certain financial ratios and tests, limitation on the issuance of
debt and the amount of capital expenditures, capital leases, investments and
dividends. The primary financial covenants include quarter end calculations of
leverage and fixed charge coverage and a limitation on annual capital
expenditures. In conjunction with the refinancing, the Company issued 100,000
shares of its common stock to the new lender.
 
     As the Company is currently in compliance with the loan covenants on its
new debt, the Company has classified its outstanding debt as current or long
term based upon its scheduled maturity obligations.
 
     The industrial development revenue bonds were used to finance the cost of a
production and office facility (completed during 1988) and certain machinery in
Florida. The bonds bear interest at 78% of prime, are payable in monthly
installments of $12,500 through 2011, and are secured by the underlying facility
and equipment. The weighted average interest rate on all outstanding debt at
June 30, 1997 was 9.5%.
 
     The estimated fair value of the Company's debt approximates the carrying
value at June 30, 1996 and 1997. Interest paid (net of $206,000 and $53,000
capitalized in 1996 and 1997, respectively) amounted to $1,692,000 in 1995, and
$1,801,000 in 1996 and $1,735,000 in 1997.

NOTE 8 -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
STOCK WARRANTS
 
     The Company has outstanding warrants at June 30, 1997 to purchase 115,884
shares of common stock at $12.94 per share which were issued in connection with
obtaining financing for the purchase of a subsidiary. The warrants are
exercisable through 2002 and contain antidilution provisions which cause both
the number of warrants and the exercise price to change as certain events occur.
 
STOCK OPTIONS
 
     The 1994 Long Term Incentive Plan provides that officers and key employees
may be granted stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance share
awards, nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options for the purchase
of the Company's common stock. Up to 250,000 shares of the Company's common
stock may be issued on exercise of options and rights granted under this plan.
The type, terms and timing of options granted will be determined at the
discretion of the Board of Directors.
 
     The Directors Formula Stock Option Plan provides for each non-employee
director and Chairman to be granted 1,000 options initially and 500 options each
fiscal year for purchase of the Company's common stock at the fair market value
at the date of grant.
 
     No future grants will be made under the Company's previous incentive stock
option plans. At June 30, 1997, previously granted options for 134,700 shares
remain outstanding under these plans. The per share weighted average fair value
of stock options granted during 1996 and 1997 was $3.36 and $2.68 on the date of
grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions: 1996 -- expected volatility 59.8%, expected dividend yield
of 0.0%, risk-free interest rate of 6.6% and an expected life of 7 years;
1997 -- expected volatility 61.0%, expected dividend yield of 0.0%, risk-free
interest rate of 6.5% and an expected life of 7 years.
 
     Transactions in stock options under these plans are summarized as follows:

     The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Plan and,
accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in
the financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on
the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the
Company's net loss and loss per common share would have been adjusted to the pro
forma amounts indicated below (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

</TABLE>
 
     Pro forma net income reflects only options granted in 1996 and 1997.
Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options
under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net loss and loss per
common share amounts presented above because compensation cost is reflected over
the options' vesting period of 5 years and compensation cost for options granted
prior to July 1, 1995 is not considered.
 
STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
 
     On June 6, 1995, the Company adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan as amended
on December 5, 1995 and, in connection with such plan, declared a dividend
distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the Company's $0.01 par
value common stock, payable on July 6, 1995 to stockholders of record on that
date. Each right entitles the stockholders to buy from the Company one share of
common stock at a price of $50.00 per share. The rights will not be exercisable
or separable from the common stock until ten business days after a party
acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's common stock or
announces a tender offer for at least 15% of its outstanding common stock. The
Plan excludes James M. Hoak from causing the rights to become exercisable until
such time as Mr. Hoak, together with certain affiliated and associated persons,
collectively own 20% or more of the Company's common stock.
 
     In the event the Company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination transaction, at any time after a person or group has acquired
beneficial ownership of 15% or more (or, in the case of Mr. Hoak, 20% or more)
of the Company's common stock, each right will entitle its holder to purchase,
at the right's then current exercise price, that number of acquiring company's
common shares having a market value of two times the exercise price of the
right. If any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more (or,
in the case of Mr. Hoak, 20% or more) of the Company's common stock, each right
will entitle its holder (other than such person or any member of such group) to
buy a number of additional shares of the Company's common stock having a market
value of twice the exercise price of each right. Alternatively, if a person or
group has acquired 15% or more (or, in the case of Mr. Hoak, 20% or more) of the
Company's common stock, but less than 50% of the common stock, the Company may
at its option exchange each right of a holder (other than such person or any
member of such group) for one share of common stock. The rights, which are
subject to adjustment, may be redeemed by the Company at a price of $0.01 per
right at any time prior to expiration on July 6, 2005 or the point at which they
become exercisable.
 
     The Stockholder Rights Plan is designed to assure that the Company's
stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed
takeover of the Company and to guard against partial tender offers and other
abusive takeover tactics to gain control of the Company without paying all
stockholders a fair price.

NOTE 10 -- PENSION, RETIREMENT, PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLANS
 
     The Company has separate pension plans covering bargaining unit employees
and substantially all other employees. Benefits under the bargaining unit plan
are set by contract with the union at a fixed amount per year of service, which
also requires contributions at certain intervals, as stipulated in the union
contract. Benefits under the other plan were frozen effective February 1, 1994.

     The Company and its subsidiaries have a defined contribution profit sharing
and savings plan for the benefit of employees. Company contributions to the
profit sharing and savings plans were $111,000, $141,000 and $139,000 for fiscal
years 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively.
 
NOTE 11 -- BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATION
 
     The Company frequently bids for large contracts for its products which may
result in individual customers accounting for more than 10% of its net sales in
a given fiscal year. Sales to a single customer were approximately $12,275,000,
$13,882,000 and $14,242,000 for fiscal years 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
Sales to a second customer were approximately $9,374,000, $8,114,000 and
$10,594,000 in fiscal years 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. No other
customers represented more than 10% of the Company's net sales in 1995, 1996 or
1997. The Company had accounts receivable balances from these major customers of
approximately $3,655,000 and $4,094,000 as of June 30, 1996, and 1997,
respectively. Customers from many geographic locations are granted credit on an
unsecured basis. Management believes that sufficient allowances for doubtful
accounts have been provided as of June 30, 1996 and 1997.

     Under the Company's insurance programs, coverage is obtained for
catastrophic exposures as well as those risks required to be insured by law or
contract. The Company is responsible for certain expected losses related
primarily to workers' compensation. Provisions for losses expected under this
program are actuarially determined based upon estimates of the aggregate
liability for claims incurred. Such estimates utilize certain actuarial
assumptions followed in the insurance industry.
 
     The Company is a party to various claims, legal actions and complaints
arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the
disposition of these matters will not have a material impact on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.
