Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Successor Company
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. For further information, refer
to the combined financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Muehlstein Holding Corporation's (formerly HMC Acquisition Corporation) (the
"Company") Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company has adopted the Specific
Identification method using lower of cost or market valuation for all of its
inventory.
2. Business Combination
On September 21, 1995, the Company was incorporated for the purpose of
acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of H. Muehlstein & Co., Inc.
("Muehlstein").
On October 30, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement") with a wholly owned subsidiary of Mobil Oil Corporation (the
ultimate parent company of Muehlstein) to purchase 100% of the outstanding
capital stock of Muehlstein and certain related assets (the "Acquisition"). The
purchase price was based on capital employed, as defined, plus $10 million.
On November 22, 1995, the Company filed a Registration Statement ("Offering"),
which became effective on January 23, 1996, pursuant to which it offered shares
of its common stock to certain persons who were employees of Muehlstein, Mobil
Oil Corporation ("Mobil") or their respective subsidiaries who would become
employees of the Company or its subsidiaries following the Acquisition, to
certain benefit plans in which such persons were or would become participants
and to such other parties that the Company in its discretion determined. The
Company received total proceeds of $19,152,130 on February 9, 1996 based upon
the sale of 1,915,213 shares of its Common Stock ("Common Stock"), par value
$.01 per share at $10.00 per share. The proceeds of this Offering, net of
offering expenses of approximately $803,000 of which $418,000 were paid prior
to the closing, were utilized to pay a portion of the purchase price of the
Acquisition. The Company received additional proceeds of $838,100 upon the sale
of 83,810 additional shares of its common stock through June 30, 1996.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mobil purchased from the Company on
February 9, 1996, 1,000,000 shares of Series "A" Preferred Stock, $.01 par
value per share, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The Series "A"
Preferred Stock pays an annual dividend of $1.20 per share (equal to 12 percent
per annum of the stated value of $10.00 per share). Except for certain matters
<PAGE>
Muehlstein Holding Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Successor Company
(Unaudited)
2. Business Combination (continued)
connected with the Series "A" Preferred Stock and other matters required by
applicable law, holders of Series "A" Preferred Stock will have no voting
rights. Series "A" Preferred Stock will have no preemptive rights and may be
redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time. If
the Company redeems the Series "A" Preferred Stock, the redemption price for
the shares will equal the stated value per share ($10.00) plus all accrued and
unpaid dividends. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series "A" Preferred
Stock will have preferential rights, superior to other shareholders, to
distributions out of the assets of the Company.
Effective February 9, 1996, Muehlstein entered into a credit agreement with
Citicorp USA, Inc. and Citicorp Canada ("Credit agreement"), which was
guaranteed by the Company. Pursuant to this Credit agreement a $125,000,000
revolving credit facility was provided, the expiration date of which is
February 9, 2000. The revolving credit facility will bear interest at either
(1) 100 basis points per annum over the U.S. or certain other foreign currency
Base Rates or (2) 250 basis points per annum over the U.S. or certain other
foreign currency LIBOR rates. On the same date, the Company borrowed
approximately $73,191,000 under this facility. As of June 30, 1996,
approximately $40,000,000 of the Credit agreement was based on LIBOR and bore
interest at 8.000%, the balance of the indebtedness was based on Base Rates and
bore interest at 9.25%
Effective February 9, 1996, Muehlstein entered into a loan agreement with
Finova Capital Corporation ("Loan agreement"), which was guaranteed by the
Company. Pursuant to this Loan agreement total proceeds of $8,000,000 from two
term loans, Note A and Note B, both maturing March 1, 2000, were received. The
principal amount of the two term loans are $2,560,000 (Note A) and $5,440,000
(Note B), respectively. These notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of
interest of 8.20% per annum (Note A) and 9.70% per annum (Note B).
The indebtedness under the Credit and Loan agreements is secured by liens on
substantially all the assets of Muehlstein. The Credit and Loan agreements
contain various covenants which include, among other things: (a) the
maintenance of certain financial ratios and compliance with certain financial
tests and limitations; (b) limitations on investments and capital expenditures;
and (c) limitations on leases and the sale of assets.
The proceeds from the sale of the Company's common and preferred stock
aggregating approximately $30,000,000 and borrowings of $81,191,000 under the
aforementioned facilities were used to finalize the Acquisition and provide
working capital.
The Acquisition was finalized on February 9, 1996 for a total purchase price of
approximately $98,925,000 ("Purchase Price"), with fees of approximately
$1,004,000 being included. Upon effectiveness of the Acquisition, Muehlstein
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company thereupon
changed its name to "Muehlstein Holding Company". The results for the six-
onths ended June 30, 1996 reflect losses of $1,527,000, being the results of
Muehlstein applicable to the period January 1, 1996 through February 8, 1996.

2. Business Combination (continued)
The Company's financial statements reflect the application of purchase
accounting to the acquired operations of Muehlstein. The application of
purchase accounting resulted in the allocation of the purchase price and
related acquisition costs based on the fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. As a result, the enclosed predecessor combined financial
statements are not comparable to the successor company consolidated financial
statements. The classification of certain assets and liabilities have been
adjusted to reflect the additional information that has become avaliable.
Such changes did not have any effect on the actual purchase price.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet on a fair value basis as of February
9, 1996 was as follows:

3. Common Stock
The Company's common stock is held by certain of the Company's employees, the
Company's Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) and Citicorp North America, Inc.
("Citicorp"). Shareholders' excluding Citicorp, have a right to put these
shares to the Company, following termination of their employment, subject to
the limitations imposed under the terms of the Credit, Loan and preferred stock
agreements. Such provisions exists to create a market for the employees'
shares. Citicorp has the right to put their shares to the Company at any time
after the earliest to occur of: (a) three years after the Acquisition closing
date or (b) certain mergers, consolidations, sale of assets or change of
control with respect to the Company or its material subsidiaries. Except for
certain matters connected with its shares, the shares held by Citicorp will be
nonvoting shares. The redemption price for any shares will be equal to the
most recent appraised fair market value of the common stock. If a put is
exercised, the Company will have the option to pay for the repurchased shares
either in cash or pursuant to a promissory note. Under the terms of the Credit,
Loan and preferred stock agreements and given management's view of its present
employee base, significant activity under the put provisions is not anticipated
presently. However, in accordance with the requirements for accounting for
common stock with a put provision, the common stock has been classified between
liabilities and preferred stock.
4. Pro Forma Financial Data

period ending June 30, 1996 and 54% for the six-month period ending June 30,
1996 reflect higher foreign taxes for dividend distributions and changes in
the valuation of certain foreign deferred tax assets for the period prior to
the Acquisition and foreign losses for which the Company did not have
offsetting tax credits.

1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements present the combined
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the marketing operations
of H. Muehlstein & Co., Inc. ("Muehlstein") and affiliated entities, exclusive
of certain assets and liabilities retained by Mobil Oil Corporation ("Mobil"),
the ultimate parent company in conjunction with the Acquisition (See Note 2 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Successor Company). These
statements are presented on a historical cost basis. All transactions
between subsidiaries of Muehlstein and other units of Mobil which are included
in Muehlstein's operations have been eliminated. Parent company investment
reflects Mobil's investment in Muehlstein, the accumulated earnings of such
entity, as well as intercompany balances with Mobil and other entities
therewith which are not settled on a current basis. In addition, the parent
company investment includes intercompany accounts resulting from the exclusion
of various assets or liabilities that were not acquired under the Acquisition.
The unaudited combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For
further information, refer to the combined financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in Muehlstein Holding Corporation's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1995.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, Muehlstein Holding
Corporation (formerly HMC Acquisition Corporation) (the "Company") was
incorporated for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding capital
stock of H. Muehlstein & Co., Inc. ("Muehlstein") and certain related assets.
The acquisition was finalized on February 9, 1996 for a total purchase price of
approximately $98,925,000. Accordingly, the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and
June 30, 1996 are the only periods of successor company operations and are
compared to pro forma results of operations for the three- and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1995 for purposes of the comparative discussion
presented below. The financial information of the successor company reflects
the application of purchase accounting to the operations of Muehlstein
subsequent to the Offering by the Company. The application of purchase
accounting results in the allocation of the purchase price and related
acquisition costs based on the fair value of the underlying assets and
liabilities of the predecessor company's operations. As a result of the
application of purchase accounting, the predecessor combined financial
information is not comparable to the financial information of the successor
company. The unaudited proforma results of operations have been prepared for
comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that would have resulted had the Offering and Acquisition been
effective January 1, 1995, or that may result in the future.
Results of Operations
Total revenues decreased 29.1% in the second quarter of 1996 to $166,301,000
compared to $234,481,000 for the second quarter of 1995. For the first six
months of 1996 revenues of $336,505,000 were 27.5% lower than the first six
months of 1995. Income from operations increased 0.2% to $7,030,000 for the
second quarter of 1996 from $7,017,000 for the second quarter of 1995, while
net income after tax increased 12.3% to $3,299,000 for the second quarter of
1996 from $2,937,000 for the second quarter of 1995. For the six months ending
June 30, 1996 income from operations decreased 27.7% to $11,064,000 from
$15,294,000 for the six-months ending June 30, 1995, while net income after tax
decreased 35.5% to $4,405,000 from $6,832,000.
The decrease in revenues was due to lower sales prices worldwide. The average
sales price for plastic resin and rubber, combined, decreased 20.7% in the
second quarter of 1996 versus the same period in 1995. The sales price for the
first six months of 1996 was 21.5% lower than the first six months of 1995.
Worldwide sales volume decreased 10.5% for the second quarter of 1996 versus
the second quarter of 1995. Sales volumes decreased 5.7% in the first six
months of 1996 versus the first six months of 1995.
Income from operations was unfavorably impacted by lower sales volumes during
the second quarter of 1996 versus the comparative period in 1995. Due to
changes in market conditions, the average margin on product sales decreased to
$0.0551 per pound in the second quarter of 1996 from $0.0581 per pound in the
second quarter of 1995. Partially offsetting the lower margins was a 20.0%
decrease in selling and administrative expenses to $17,916,000 for the second
quarter of 1996 from $22,385,000 for the same period in 1995. The decrease was
<PAGE>
mainly due to lower bad debt expense in the U.S. and Latin America along with
lower freight costs in the U.S. and Europe.
For the six months ending June 30, 1996 average margin on product sales
decreased to $0.0527 from $0.0600 for the six months ending June 30, 1995.
Offsetting the lower margins was a 13.5% decrease in selling and administrative
expenses to $37,875,000 for the six months ending June 30, 1996 versus
$43,807,000 for the same period in 1995. The change was mainly due to lower bad
debt expense in the U.S. and Latin America.
Other expenses (predominantly interest expense) decreased $777,000 in the
second quarter of 1996 versus the second quarter of 1995. Non-operating
expenses for the first six months of 1996 were $200,000 lower than the the
first six months of 1995. The decrease was predominantly due to lower interest
expense.
Net income increased 12.3% to $3,299,000 in the second quarter of 1996 from
$2,937,000 in the comparative period of the prior year after tax charges of
$2,728,000 and $2,300,000, respectively. The effective tax rate was 45% in the
second quarter of 1996 and 44% in the same period in 1995. For the six months
ended June 30, 1996 net income decreased 35.5% to $4,405,000 from $6,832,000 in
the comparative period of the prior year after tax charges of $3,626,000 and
$5,229,000, respectively. The effective tax rate was 45% for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 43% for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Historically, Muehlstein had been an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of
Mobil. As such, cash generated by Muehlstein and its financing requirements had
been subject to Mobil's cash management procedures and policies.
In connection with the Acquisition, Muehlstein entered into a $125,000,000
revolving credit facility with Citibank N.A. ("Citibank"). The revolving credit
facility expires February 9, 2000. The revolving credit facility will bear
interest at either (1) 100 basis points per annum over the U.S. or certain
other foreign currency Base Rates or (2) 250 basis points per annum over the
U.S. or certain other foreign currency LIBOR rates. On the day of the
Acquisition, the Company borrowed approximately $73,191,000 under this
facility.
At the date of the Acquisition, Muehlstein entered into a loan agreement with
Finova Capital Corporation ("Finova"). Pursuant to this agreement total
proceeds of $8,000,000 from two term loans, Note A and Note B, both maturing
March 1, 2000, were received. The principal amount of the two term loans is
$2,560,000 (Note A) and $5,440,000 (Note B), respectively. These notes bear
interest at a fixed annual rate of interest of 8.20% per annum (Note A) and
9.70% per annum (Note B).
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mobil purchased from the Company on
February 9, 1996, 1,000,000 shares of Series "A" Preferred Stock, $.01 par
value per share, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The Series "A"
Preferred Stock pays an annual dividend of $1.20 per share (equal to 12 percent
per annum of the stated value of $10.00 per share).
The Company issued a total of 1,999,023 shares of common stock between January
23, 1996 and March 31, 1996. The Company's common stock is held by certain of
the Company's employees, the Company's Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) and
Citicorp North America, Inc. ("Citicorp"). Shareholders', excluding Citicorp,
have a right to put these shares to the Company, following termination of their
employment, subject to the limitations imposed under the terms of the Credit,
<PAGE>
Loan and preferred stock agreements. Such provision exists to create a market
for the employees' shares. Citicorp has the right to put their shares to the
Company at any time after the earliest to occur of: (a) three years after the
Acquisition closing date or (b) certain mergers, consolidations, sale of assets
or change of control with respect to the Company or its material subsidiaries.
The redemption price for any shares will be equal to the most recent appraised
fair market value of the common stock. If a put is exercised, the Company will
have the option to pay for the repurchased shares either in cash or pursuant to
a promissory note. Under the terms of the Credit, Loan and preferred stock
agreements and given management's view of its present employee base,
significant activity under the put provisions is not anticipated presently.
However, in accordance with the requirements for accounting for common stock
with a put provision, the common stock has been classified between liabilities
and preferred stock.
Operating activities have historically been a major source or use of cash for
working capital needs and capital expenditures. Net cash provided by operations
were $930,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to a
($36,756,000) use of cash in the first six months of 1995. Working capital on a
comparative basis decreased $74,672,000 from December 31, 1995 to June 30,
1996. Current assets increased by 5.5% to $208,542,000 at June 30, 1996 from
$197,725,000 at December 31, 1995. Current liabilities increased $85,489,000
mainly due to the addition of $68,727,000 in short term borrowing from Citibank
and the current portion of the Finova loan. In addition, accounts payable
increased $23,848,000 mainly due to the addition of Mobil as a non-affiliated
supplier. The Company expects that available cash and existing credit
facilities will be sufficient to meet its normal operating requirements,
including capital expenditures, over the near term.
Foreign Exchange
The Company's foreign exchange exposure is limited to its operations in Europe,
Far East and Canada. All sales and purchases in the United States and Latin
America, representing approximately 75 percent of the companies volume, are
denominated in U.S. dollars. Exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations in
Europe are managed through a balancing of the local assets (primarily accounts
receivable) and liabilities (accounts payable). Fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates have not had a material financial impact on the results
of the Predecessor Company or Successor Company.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
Market conditions which are influenced by economic and political
considerations, as well as production capacities and utilization dictate
pricing and costs. The Company has entered into certain supply agreements with
Mobil for an initial term of three years. Such agreements provide for minimum
and maximum limits on the amounts of product supplied. The Company does not
have any other long-term purchase or sales commitments with its suppliers or
customers. The Company views this as a marketing advantage that enables it to
respond quickly to market changes, matching supply with demand. The Company
capitalizes on opportunities and imbalances in the market place.
