Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

This Report may contain forward-looking statements concerning the Company's
operations, economic performance and financial condition. All such statements
are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject
to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the
control of the Company, and reflect future business decisions that are subject
to change. Some of these assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and
unanticipated events will occur that will affect the Company's results.

Overview

Anchor is a leading designer, manufacturer and packager of precision molded
plastic products for a wide range of dental, cosmetic, medical, computer and
consumer applications. The Company is one of the world's largest manufacturers
of toothbrushes and is a leading U.S. manufacturer of cosmetics packaging.

Approximately 41% of the Company's 1996 net sales were made under supply
contracts with three of its largest customers, Colgate-Palmolive, Procter &
Gamble and Abbott. The remaining terms of each of such contracts are up to 3
years, excluding options to renew. Typically, contracts are renewed or replaced
by new contracts prior to expiration. The terms of the contracts vary, including
any minimum purchasing requirements and the customers' ability to cancel, but in
each case the Company passes through to its customers raw material price
increases and decreases.

Anchor's principal materials are plastic resins, nylon and packaging materials.
During periods of limited supply, Anchor has typically been able to procure
sufficient quantities of plastic resins, nylon and packaging materials to
satisfy all of its customers' needs. Anchor's gross profit is substantially
unaffected by fluctuations in plastic resin and nylon prices because the Company
historically has been successful in passing through increases in those prices to
its customers by means of corresponding changes in product pricing.

Anchor began operations in 1941 as a manufacturer of cosmetic brushes for
Maybelline and, in 1958, began producing Pepsodent toothbrushes for Lever
Brothers Company, Inc. The Company was acquired in 1990 by affiliates of the
Thomas H. Lee Company and management. Since the 1990 acquisition, the Company
has pursued a growth strategy designed to increase sales while diversifying its
revenue base. In pursuit of this strategy, Anchor acquired Mid-State in 1994,
which served to expand the Company's business into the medical device and
computer component markets.

In 1993 and 1994, Anchor invested in expanded operations in Matamoros, Mexico,
where the Company ultimately relocated much of its cosmetics packaging
operations. As the Matamoros facility came on line in 1995 and 1996, Anchor
began experiencing efficiency gains in its

cosmetics segment while freeing-up domestic capacity for other uses. This
increased domestic capacity allowed the Company to convert some of its U.S.
production to its newest major product line, Point of Purchase ("POP") displays,
which contributed to increased net sales in 1996. Also in 1996, Anchor invested
in a new Round Rock, Texas, facility for the production of computer components
for Compaq, which will generate a full year of revenues in 1997.

Certain of the Company's operating data for the thirteen weeks ended September
27, 1997 and September 28, 1996 and the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27,
1997 and September 28, 1996 are set forth below as percentages of net sales:

Results of Operations

13 Weeks Ended September 27, 1997 ("Third Quarter 97")
Compared to 13 Weeks Ended September 28, 1996 ("Third Quarter 96")

Net Sales. Net sales increased by $1.5 million, or 4.1%, to $37.9 million for
Third Quarter 97 from $36.4 million for Third Quarter 96, mainly a result of
strong sales both in cosmetics and in medical devices.

Gross Profit. Gross Profit increased by $.9 million, or 20.0%, to $5.4 million
for Third Quarter 97 from $4.5 million for Third Quarter 96, due to strong sales
in the Cosmetics Division, and continuing improved efficiencies in the medical
division of the Round Rock, Texas facility.

Selling, General and Administrative. SG&A expenses remained flat at $2.8 million
for Third Quarter 97 but declined as a percentage of sales due to increasing
sales levels.

Amortization.  Goodwill amortization remained flat at $.3 million for Third 
Quarter 97.

Operating Income. Operating income increased by $.9 million, or 69.2%, to $2.2
million for Third Quarter 97 from $1.3 million for Third Quarter 96 for the
reasons listed above.

Other Expense. Other expense increased by $.2 million, or 298.6%, to $.1 million
other expense for Third Quarter 97 from $.1 million other income for Third
Quarter 96, reflecting employee relocation expense.

Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense increased by $1.2 million, or 63.2%,
to $3.1 million for Third Quarter 97 from $1.9 million for Third Quarter 96 due
to the retirement of bank debt and the issue of $100 million Senior Notes in the
second quarter. The increased expense reflects both a higher average debt
balance outstanding and a higher effective interest rate for the current period.

Income Taxes. Income Taxes increased $.3 million, or 129.3%, to $.1 million for
Third Quarter 97 from $(.2) million for Third Quarter 96 as a result of
increased operating income for the quarter.

Net Income. Net loss increased $.7 million, or 175.0%, to $(1.1) million for
Third Quarter 97 from $(.4) million for Third Quarter 96 as a result of the
above factors.

39 Weeks Ended September 27, 1997 ("Interim 1997") 
Compared to 39 Weeks Ended September 28, 1996 ("Interim 1996")

Net Sales. Net sales increased by $5.8 million, or 5.0%, to $122.7 million for
Interim 97 from $116.9 million for Interim 96, as a result of strong sales to
the L'Oreal/Maybelline group in the Cosmetics Division, growth in medical
devices sales, and the addition of Compaq to the computer customer base.

Gross Profit. Gross Profit decreased by $.9 million, or 4.6%, to $18.8 million
for Interim 97 from $19.7 million for Interim 96, due to lower than expected
volumes in the Round Rock facility, the addition of lower gross margin Compaq
sales, and a $.6 million charge taken in the second quarter of 1997 for
renegotiation of a Mexico labor contract.

Selling, General and Administrative. SG&A expenses decreased $.1 million, or
1.2%, to $8.3 million for Interim 97 from $8.4 million for Interim 96.

Amortization.  Goodwill amortization remained flat at $1.0 million for Interim 
97.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased by $.8 million, or 7.8%, to $9.5
million for Interim 97 from $10.3 million for Interim 96 for the reasons listed
above.

Other Expense.  Other expense remained flat at $.2 million for Interim 97.

Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense increased by $2.2 million, or 37.3%,
to $8.1 million for Interim 97 from $5.9 million for Interim 96 due to the
retirement of bank debt and the issue of $100 million Senior notes in the second
quarter 1997.




                                       12
<PAGE>



Income Taxes. Income taxes decreased by $.9 million, or 50.0%, to $.9 million
for Interim 97 from $1.8 million for Interim 96 as a result of decreased
operating income, and the extraordinary expenses associated with the
restructuring of the Company's debt.

Extraordinary Item. Extraordinary item increased by $1.2 million for Interim 97
from $.0 million for Interim 96 due to the writeoff of $.4 million in bank fees,
and a $.8 million prepayment penalty associated with the retirement of
subordinated debt, all of which are net of tax.

Net Income. Net income decreased $3.4 million, or 136.0%, to $.9 million loss
for Interim 97 from $2.5 million income for Interim 96 as a result of the above
factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical

Historically, the Company has funded its business with cash generated from
operations and borrowings under its Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement,
with Bank of Boston as agent (the "Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement"),
with long-term borrowings used to finance the Company's acquisition of
Mid-State. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 1997, the Company
generated cash from operating activities of $13.8 million. The Company's capital
expenditures for that period were $6.5 million, principally for additions to the
Company's manufacturing capacity. Financing activities are described below.

Sale of the Senior Notes

After consummation of the sale of the Senior Notes and the application of net
proceeds therefrom, the Company's liquidity requirements consist primarily of
working capital needs and capital expenditures, required payments of principal
and interest on any borrowings under the New Credit Facility (defined below) and
required payments of interest on the Notes and principal at maturity.

On April 2, 1997, Anchor entered into a credit facility (the "New Credit
Facility") which provides for revolving loans to the Company in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $15.0 million with a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance
of standby and commercial letters of credit. All indebtedness of Anchor under
the New Credit Facility is guaranteed by Holdings. The New Credit Facility will
mature in 2003 and contains covenants customary for working capital financings,
including, without limitation, maximum leverage and interest coverage ratios and
minimum net worth requirements; restrictions on capital expenditures, incurrence
of additional indebtedness, dividends and redemptions; and restrictions on
mergers, acquisitions and sales of assets.



                                       13

The Indenture places significant restrictions on the Issuer's ability to incur
additional indebtedness, to make certain payments, investments, loans and
guarantees and to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of its
assets to, or merge or consolidate with, another entity.

Inflation and Changing Prices
- -----------------------------

Anchor's sales and costs are subject to inflation and price fluctuations.
However, because changes in the cost of plastic resins and nylon, Anchor's
principal raw materials, are generally passed through to customers, such changes
historically, have not, and in the future are not expected to have, a material
effect on Anchor's gross profit.

Impact of New Accounting Standards
- ----------------------------------

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which changes the
calculations used for earnings per share (EPS) and makes them comparable to
international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and
diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations for all entities with
complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
diluted EPS computation. The effect of the standard on the consolidated
financial statements would be to result in $2.41 and $(0.59) of basic EPS for
the thirty-nine week periods ending September 28, 1996 and September 27, 1997,
respectively. The standard would have no effect on the diluted EPS. The
Statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after
December 15, 1997; earlier application is not permitted.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." This Statement establishes standards for
the way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Statement is
effective for financial statements issued for periods beginning after December
15, 1997. Management has not yet determined the full effect of this Statement on
its financial statements.
