INTRODUCTION

         Moll Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading full service
manufacturer and designer of custom molded and assembled plastic components for
a broad variety of customers and end markets throughout North America and
Europe. Anchor Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") does not have any material operations
other than ownership of all of the capital stock of the Company.

         The Company serves over 450 customers, including leading multinational
companies such as Abbott Laboratories, Colgate-Palmolive, Kimberly-Clark,
L'Oreal, Maybelline, Motorola, Procter & Gamble, Renault, Revlon, Siemens,
Whirlpool and Xerox. Products using the Company's plastic components are sold in
a wide range of end markets, including end markets for consumer products,
telecommunications/business equipment, household appliances, automobiles and
medical devices. The Company believes that the diversity of its customers,
markets and geographic regions creates a stable revenue base and reduces the
Company's exposure to particular market or regional economic cycles.

         The Company has 30 manufacturing facilities with approximately 700
molding machines throughout North America and Europe, including France, Germany,
the United Kingdom and Portugal. The Company is capable of providing its
customers with integrated design and prototype development, mold design and
manufacturing, advanced plastic injection molding capabilities, and value-added
finishing services, such as hot stamping, pad printing, assembly and complete
product testing, all of which enable it to provide "one-stop" shopping to
customers seeking a wide range of services. The Company's technologically
advanced manufacturing facilities and equipment enable it to provide customized
solutions to highly demanding customer specifications.

         The Company was formed through the merger in 1998 (the "Merger") of
two leading plastic injection molders, Moll PlastiCrafters Limited
Partnership ("Moll") and Anchor Advanced Products, Inc. ("Anchor"), which
were each controlled by Mr. George Votis. Immediately prior to the Merger,
Moll and Anchor were independently operated entities. Anchor survived the
Merger and changed its name to "Moll Industries, Inc." Mr. Votis acquired
Moll's predecessor in 1989 and has since completed seven acquisitions,
increasing Moll's revenues from approximately $8 million in 1989 to
approximately $223.5 million in 1998 on a pro forma basis. Such acquisitions
included the acquisition in August 1997 of a group of companies that had
previously been under common ownership ("Hanning") which supplies injection
molded plastic components for use in digital photocopiers with manufacturing
facilities located in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, and
the acquisition in January 1998 of Somomeca Industries S.A.R.L. and its
subsidiaries ("Somomeca"), a French injection molder. In March 1998, Mr.
Votis acquired Anchor, which began operations in 1941 as a manufacturer of
cosmetic brushes for Maybelline. In June 1998, the Company acquired Gemini
Plastic Services, Inc. ("Gemini"). In addition to the Merger and the
acquisition of Gemini, in June 1998, the Company also consummated an offering
(the "Offering") of $130,000,000 of its 10 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2008 (the "Notes"). Holdings is the guarantor of the Company's 11 3/4% Series
B Senior Notes due 2004 (the "Senior Notes") issued by Anchor prior to the
Merger.

Kingdom.

2.  MERGER WITH MOLL PLASTICRAFTERS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

    Effective June 26, 1998, the owners of Moll PlastiCrafters Limited
Partnership ("Moll") contributed their interest in Moll to AMM Holdings in
exchange for common shares of AMM Holdings. AMM Holdings contributed these
interests in Moll to Holdings and ultimately to Anchor Advanced Products, Inc.
("Anchor"). Moll was merged into Anchor (the "Merger") at which time the name of
Anchor was changed to Moll Industries, Inc. As the owners of Moll owned a
majority of the outstanding shares of AMM Holdings subsequent to the Merger,
Moll is considered the accounting acquiror in the Merger; therefore, the
consolidated financial statements presented for all periods herein are those of
Moll, and exclude those of Anchor prior to June 26, 1998. As a result of the
Merger, Moll's corporate structure was changed from a partnership to a
corporation.

3.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The historical consolidated financial statements, through the date of the
Merger, include the accounts of Moll, as it is the accounting acquiror in the
Merger discussed in Note 2, and its subsidiaries. All significant results of
operations of companies acquired utilizing the purchase method of accounting
have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the effective
dates of the respective acquisition, (Somomeca Industries, Inc.--January 8,
1998, Anchor--June 26, 1998, Gemini Plastic Services, Inc.--June 26, 1998,
Compression--April 16, 1999 and Souplex, Limited--May 26, 1999). The results of
Reliance Products L.P. have been excluded from these consolidated financial
statements since June 26, 1998 (see Note 5). All significant intercompany
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

    The quarterly financial statements have been prepared, without audit, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of
management, the quarterly consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
results of operations for the interim periods presented, such adjustments being
of a normal, recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is
suggested that these quarterly consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto are read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998. Results of operations in the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a
full year.

    Earnings per share for all periods presented have been computed on a basis
assuming the number of common shares outstanding subsequent to the Merger were
outstanding for all periods presented. There are no potentially dilutive
securities currently outstanding.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    During June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 requires that
derivatives and hedges be valued at their fair value and establishes standards
for the recognition of changes in fair value. SFAS 133 is effective for periods
beginning after June 15, 1999. Implementation of SFAS 133 had no impact on the
Company's reporting and disclosure requirements.

4.  ACQUISITIONS

SOMOMECA

    Effective January 8, 1998, Moll acquired the stock of Somomeca Industries,
Inc. ("Somomeca"). Moll paid $13,144 in cash, agreed to pay the sellers $1,488
over two years and assumed its liabilities. Additionally, Moll incurred
approximately $2,321 in expenses to complete the acquisition.

GEMINI

    Effective June 26, 1998, the Company acquired the stock of Gemini Plastic
Services, Inc. ("Gemini") for cash of $10,186 and the assumption of its
liabilities.

COMPRESSION

    Effective April 16, 1999, the Company acquired three locations of
Compression, Inc. ("Compression") for cash of $1,236.

SOUPLEX

    Effective May 26, 1999, the Company acquired the stock of Souplex, Limited
("Souplex") for cash of $6,103 and assumption of its liabilities.

    All of the acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method.
The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in the
consolidated financial statements since the effective date of each acquisition.
See Note 8 for unaudited pro forma information.

5.  DISPOSITIONS

    Effective immediately prior to the Merger discussed in Note 2, Moll
distributed its interest in Reliance Products, L.P. ("Reliance") to its owners.
The total amount of such distribution was $3,135.

    Reliance is a limited partnership based in Canada in which Moll had
purchased a 69% limited partnership interest effective December 12, 1996.
Holdings included the operating results of Reliance in its consolidated
financial statements through June 26, 1998. The earnings attributable to the
minority partners are included in the consolidated statements of operations of
Holdings as minority interest in income (loss) of subsidairy.

<PAGE>

6.  INCOME TAXES

    Effective June 26, 1998, Moll became a taxable entity. Prior to June 26,
1998, Moll was a partnership; accordingly, the earnings of Moll, including the
earnings of foreign subsidiaries attributable to Moll for United States tax
purposes, were included in the tax returns of the partners. Certain of Moll's
foreign subsidiaries have been taxable entities for foreign tax purposes since
their inception.

    Included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is a pro
forma tax provision that was calculated as if Holdings, including all of its
subsidiaries, was taxable for the entire period presented.

7.  SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUBSIDIARIES

    All material subsidiaries of the Company, each of which are wholly-owned,
have fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed the otherwise
unsecured $100,000 of 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2004 issued by Anchor and assumed
by the Company in the Merger. The subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the debt
only participate in intercompany transactions with the Company, which are
eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The
guarantor subsidiaries are subject to the reporting requirements under Section
13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management has determined
that separate financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries are not
material to holders of the Notes. Combined financial information relating to
these entities since the date of their acquisition is presented herein in
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 53 as an addition to the notes of
the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

    Condensed consolidating financial information for Holdings as of October 2,
1999 and for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 1999 is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

This Report may contain certain 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

The Company is a leading full service manufacturer and designer of custom molded
and assembled plastic components for a broad variety of customers and end
markets throughout North America and Europe. The Company serves over 450
customers, including leading multi-national companies such as Abbott
Laboratories, Colgate-Palmolive, Kimberly-Clark, L'Oreal, Maybelline, Motorola,
Proctor & Gamble, Renault, Revlon, Whirlpool and Xerox. Products using the
Company's components are sold in a wide range of end-markets, including end
markets for consumer products, telecommunications/business equipment, household
appliances, automobiles and medical devices.

         The Company has been formed by a number of acquisitions that have been
integrated through consolidation of manufacturing facilities, logistical
optimization and reduction of overhead. In July 1991, certain entities
controlled by Mr. Votis and his partners were merged to form Moll PlastiCrafters
Limited Partnership ("Moll"). Since 1991, Moll has grown significantly through
several strategic acquisitions in North America and Europe. In December 1992,
Moll acquired Textek Plastics, Inc., based in San Antonio and Round Rock, Texas.
In July 1993, Moll acquired Advanced Custom Molders, based in Georgetown and El
Paso, Texas. In October 1994, Moll acquired Quality Plastics Company, based in
Newberg, Oregon.

         In August 1997, Moll acquired the Hanning group of companies, a leading
supplier of injection molded plastic components for use in digital photocopiers,
with manufacturing facilities located in the United States, the United Kingdom
and Germany. In January 1998, Moll acquired Somomeca Industries; a major French
supplier of injection molded plastic components and plastic injection molds. In
March 1998, Mr. Votis acquired Anchor from affiliates of the Thomas H. Lee
Company.

         In June 1998, the Company was formed through the merger (the "Merger")
of two leading plastic injection molders, Moll and Anchor Advanced Products,
Inc. ("Anchor"), which were each controlled by Mr. Votis. Prior to the Merger,
Moll and Anchor were independently operated entities. In the Merger, the owners
of Moll contributed their interest in Moll to AMM Holdings in exchange for
common shares of AMM Holdings. AMM Holdings contributed these interests in Moll
to Holdings and ultimately to Anchor. Moll was merged into Anchor at which time
the name of Anchor was changed to Moll Industries, Inc. As the owners of Moll
owned a majority of the outstanding shares of AMM Holdings subsequent to the
Merger, Moll is considered the accounting acquiror in the Merger; therefore, the
consolidated financial statements presented for all periods herein are those of
Moll, and exclude those of Anchor prior to June 26, 1998.

         Immediately after the Merger, the Company acquired Gemini Plastic, a
specialty medical and telecommunications product plastic molding company with
one plant in Florida. In April 1999, the Company acquired three locations of
Compression, Inc. ("Compression"), a provider of product design and engineering
services. In May 1999, the Company acquired Souplex, Limited ("Souplex") a UK
based custom injection molder, specializing in the telecommunications and
business equipment industries.

         The Company continues to integrate the businesses that were merged.
This includes the pursuit of global opportunities with customers previously
served by each individual company, identification of core competencies the
Company should focus on to meet its strategies, modification of the cost
structure within

<PAGE>

certain businesses and implementation of an integrated management information
system. This effort has included the sale in March 1999 of its Lakewood and
Betta divisions, neither of which were critical to the Company's long-term
success and the June 1999 closure of its Round Rock, TX facility due to over
capacity within the merged company. Due to declining sales and an excessive
cost structure, the Company is currently considering alternatives for the
potential closure or disposition of its manufacturing facility in Germany.
The plan for the German facility is expected to be finalized before year-end.
However, as the plan has not been finalized, potential costs of such actions
are not yet estimable. Additionally, the Company is considering the
consolidation of certain French facilities. Further closures or dispositions
could occur as the integration continues.

         Certain of the Company's operating data for the thirteen and
thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 1999 and October 3, 1998 are set forth below
as percentages of net sales.

</TABLE>

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 1999 VERSUS OCTOBER 3, 1998

         NET SALES. Net sales decreased by $4.7 million, or 4.8%, to $93.7
million for 1999 from $98.4 million for 1998. The decrease was the result of
reduced dental sales to Proctor and Gamble as the customer continues to move
production out of the United States, reduced demand for packaging products by
Maybelline, reduced demand for business equipment parts by Xerox and an
unfavorable movement in currency exchange rates. The reductions were somewhat
offset by increased demand for appliance parts by Whirlpool and point-of
purchase displays by Maybelline. The reductions were also offset in part by the
acquisitions of Souplex and Compression.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased by $1.0 million, or 8.5%, to
$10.7 million for 1999 from $11.7 million for 1998. The decrease was the
result of the reduction in sales and the decrease in gross profit percentage
is due to decreased absorption of fixed manufacturing costs as a result of the
lower production levels due to the lower sales.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. SG&A expenses increased $0.8
million, or 10.1%, to $8.7 million for 1999 from $7.9 million for 1998. The
increase was the result of the acquisitions of Souplex and Compression.

         MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTING FEE TO RELATED PARTIES. Management and
Consulting Fee to Related Parties was consistent between periods.

         OPERATING INCOME. Operating income decreased by $1.8 million, or 49.2%,
to $1.9 million for 1999 from $3.7 million for 1998 for the reasons listed
above.

         NET INTEREST EXPENSE. Net interest expense increased by $0.2 million,
or 2.7%, to $7.0 million for 1999 from $6.8 million for 1998.

         INCOME TAXES. The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $0.3
million for 1999 compared to $0.4 million for 1998. The benefit was the
result of losses in the French division.

<PAGE>

         NET LOSS. Net loss increased $2.2 million, to a $4.4 million loss for
1999 from $2.2 million for 1998 as a result of the above factors.

THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 1999 VERSUS OCTOBER 3, 1998

         NET SALES. Net sales increased by $79.4 million, or 35.8%, to $301.0
million for 1999 from $221.6 million for 1998, due to the acquisitions of
Anchor, Gemini, Souplex and Compression, offset by the distribution of the
Company's limited partnership interest in Reliance Products. On a pro forma
basis, sales decreased $4.9 million, or 1.5%. The decline was the result of the
reductions in sales to Proctor and Gamble and Xerox, as well as the unfavorable
movement in currency exchange rates, as discussed above.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by $3.9 million, or 11.7%, to
$36.6 million for 1999 from $32.7 million for 1998, resulting from the
inclusion of results for Anchor, Gemini, Souplex and Compression, offset by
the distribution of the Company's limited partnership interest in Reliance
Products. However, certain of the acquired companies earn lower margins than
the Company had historically realized, thereby, diluting the average margin.
On a pro forma basis, gross profit decreased $4.6 million or 10.4%. The
decrease was the result of operating inefficiencies encountered in the
start-up of the Maybelline Display 99 Wall project in the first quarter and
the impact of reduced sales and operating efficiencies as discussed above.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. SG&A expenses increased $10.2
million, or 57.4%, to $20.6 million for 1999 from $11.8 million for 1998 due to
the inclusion of Anchor, Gemini, Souplex and Compression, offset by the
distribution of the Company's limited partnership interest in Reliance Products.
On a pro forma basis, SG&A expenses increased $3.8 million or 14.4% due to a
charge of $843 to decrease employment levels in the Germany division, expenses
to implement management information systems in the French and Germany divisions
as well as increased professional services, travel and computer costs incurred
in connection with the integration of the merged companies.

         MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTING FEE TO RELATED PARTIES. Management and
Consulting Fee to Related Parties decreased by $0.8 million, or 83.5%, to $0.1
for 1999 from $0.9 million for 1998, due to restrictions contained in the Notes
and Senior Notes.

         OPERATING INCOME. Operating income decreased by $5.6 million, or 40.7%,
to $8.3 million for 1999 from $13.9 million for 1998 for the reasons listed
above.

         NET INTEREST EXPENSE. Net interest expense increased by $8.8 million,
or 74.9%, to $20.6 million for 1999 from $11.8 million for 1998 due to the
issuance of $130 million Notes near the end of the second quarter of 1998 to
finance the acquisition of Gemini and to refinance existing debt. Additionally,
the Company assumed $100 million of debt in the Merger.

         INCOME TAXES. The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $0.4
million for 1999 compared to an expense of $0.4 million for 1998. The benefit
was the result of losses incurred in the French division. Prior to the Merger,
the Company's US operations were organized as a partnership for U.S. tax
purposes and, accordingly, did not reflect income tax expense in its financial
statements.

         EXTRAORDINARY ITEM. Extraordinary Item of $2.0 million for 1998
represents a loss on early retirement of bank debt due to the write-off of the
remaining deferred debt issue costs.

         NET LOSS. Net loss increased $10.7 million, to $11.1 million loss for
1999 from $0.4 million for 1998 as a result of the above factors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's liquidity requirements consist primarily of working
capital needs, capital expenditures, required payments of principal and interest
on any borrowings under the Bank of America

<PAGE>

Credit Facility ("Credit Facility"), required payments of principal and
interest on the European debt, required payments of interest on the Notes and
Senior Notes and principal at maturity.

         The Credit Facility, which was amended in the third quarter to
revise certain financial covenants, has a maximum balance of $50 million,
subject to certain restrictions contained in the Credit Facility and the
Notes and Discount Notes. Currently, $15 million is available under the
Credit Facility due to restrictions contained in the Notes and Discount
Notes, of which a balance of $4.5 million was outstanding at October 2, 1999.

         The Company has no significant principal payments due for the
remainder of 1999 while interest payments are expected to be less than $1.0
million. The Company expects capital expenditures for the remainder of 1999
to be approximately $2.0 million. In 2000, the Company has no significant
principal payments due while interest payments are expected to approximate
$28.0 million. Capital expenditures in 2000 are expected to be limited to
normal periodic replacement of equipment.

         In 1999, the Company's cash provided by operations increased by $1.4
million to $4.5 million from $3.1 million for 1998. The Company has spent $14.6
million during the year to make purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Additionally, the Company has spent $7.3 during the year in connection with the
purchases of Compression and Souplex.

         The Company believes that cash flows from operating activities will
be adequate to meet debt service obligations and working capital needs for
the remainder of 1999 and 2000. The Company intends to use the Credit
Facility to supplement cash from operating activities to fund planned capital
expenditures for 1999 and 2000.

INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

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

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    During June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities. The Statement requires that derivatives and hedges be
valued at their fair value and establishes standards for the recognition of
changes in fair value. The Statement is effective for periods beginning after
June 15, 1999. The Statement had no impact on the Company's reporting and
disclosure requirements.


<PAGE>

YEAR 2000

         Historically, certain computerized systems have had two digits rather
than four digits to define the applicable year, which could result in
recognizing a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in major failures or miscalculations, and is generally referred to
as the "Year 2000 issue." The Company recognizes that the impact of the Year
2000 issue extends beyond traditional computer hardware and software to
automated plant systems and instrumentation, as well as to third parties. The
Year 2000 issue is being addressed within the Company by its individual business
units, and progress is reported periodically to management.

         The Company has committed resources to conduct risk assessments and to
take corrective action, where required, within each of the following areas:
information technology, plan systems and external parties. Information
technology includes telecommunications, as well as traditional computer software
and hardware in the mainframe, midrange and desktop environments. Plant systems
include all automation and embedded chips used in plant operations. External
parties include any third party with which the Company does business.

         In the information technology area, inventory and assessment audits
in the mainframe and midrange environments were completed in third quarter
1998 and corrective action was completed in the fourth quarter 1998, except
for business application software which was completed in the second quarter
1999. Inventory and assessment audits for telecommunications were completed
in third quarter 1998 with corrective action completed in the second quarter
1999. Finally, inventory and assessment audits in the desktop environment
were completed in third quarter 1998, with corrective action expected to be
completed by the fourth quarter 1999. The companies located in Europe began
installing systems in the first quarter 1999 that will be Year 2000 ready.

         In the plant systems area, 100% of the Company's North American
business units have completed their inventory and assessment audits.
Inventory and assessment audits are continuing in Europe. The Company is
relying on vendor testing and certification with validation through limited
internal testing and/or industry test results. Testing and corrective action
in the North American business units is complete.

         With respect to external parties, the Company's North American
business units have completed their inventory audit of critical external
parties. Risk assessment is completed and monitoring of risk in this area
will continue during 1999, as many external parties will not have completed
their work. The audit of critical European external parties is in process.

         The total cost of Year 2000 activities is not expected to be material
to the Company's operations, liquidity or capital resources. Costs are being
managed within each business unit. The total cost for the Company's Year 2000
work is estimated to be $2 million.

                                       16

<PAGE>

Costs exclude expenditures for replacement systems, which were previously
scheduled.

         There is still uncertainty around the scope of the Year 2000 issue. At
this time the Company cannot quantify the potential impact of these failures.
There can be no assurance that there will not be a delay in, or increased costs
associated with, the Company's efforts to address the Year 2000 issue, and the
Company's inability to implement the necessary changes could have an adverse
effect on the Company. The Company's Year 2000 program and contingency plans are
being developed to address issues within the Company's control. The program
reduces but may not eliminate the issues of external parties.

                                       17

ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS.

         Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the
consolidated financial statements of the Company due to adverse changes in
financial market prices and rates. The Company's market risk exposure is
primarily a result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
The Company has not entered into derivative-hedging transactions to manage risk
connected with such fluctuations.

         The Company derived approximately 30% of its 1999 net sales to date
from its operations in Europe. The Company prices its products and incurs
operating expenses in Europe in the currency of the country in which the product
is manufactured and sold and, in the United States, in United States dollars. To
the extent that costs and prices are in the currency of the country in which the
products are manufactured and sold, the costs and prices of such products in
dollars will vary as the value of the dollar fluctuates against such currencies.
There can be no assurance that there will not be increases in the value of the
dollar against such currencies that will reduce the dollar return to the Company
on the sale of its products in such countries.
