                              MOLL INDUSTRIES, INC.

                              ANCHOR HOLDINGS, INC.

ITEM 2. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

       On November 14, 2000, Moll Industries, Inc. (f/k/a Anchor Advanced
Products, Inc.) , a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), consummated the sale
of all of the assets of its Cosmetics Division (the "Cosmetics Division"),
including all of the outstanding capital stock of Cepillos De Matamoros S.A. de
C.V., to subsidiaries of Pechiney, S.A., a company organized under the laws of
France, in accordance with the terms of a purchase agreement between the parties
dated as of October 4, 2000 (the terms of this agreement were described in a
current report on form 8-K dated October 4, 2000, which is incorporated herein
by reference). On November 17, 2000, the Company issued a press release
announcing, among other things, the consummation of the sale of the Cosmetics
Division. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

         RELOCATION OF HEADQUARTERS

         Effective November 15, 2000, the Company closed its Knoxville,
Tennessee facility and relocated its financial services to Moll's existing
industrial custom molding facility in Lavergne, Tennessee. The Company also
relocated its executive offices to its Davie (a suburb of Ft. Lauderdale),
Florida facility to place management closer to the Company's Ft. Lauderdale
Technical Center. Moll's Technical Center supports the Company's three design
centers, offers training and Global Enterprise Molding for customers and works
with major suppliers on equipment and raw material development. On November 17,
2000, the Company issued a press release announcing, among other things, the
relocation of its financial and executive offices. A copy of the press release
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

         SETTLEMENT OF TENDER OFFER

         The Company announced the completion a tender offer (the "Offer") for
all of its outstanding 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2004 (the "Notes"). The Offer
expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, November 14, 2000 (the
"Expiration Date") and the settlement in the amount of $35,148,350, plus accrued
interest occurred on Friday, November 17, 2000.

         The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of its
Cosmetics Division (described in Item 2 above) to repurchase the Notes. The sale
of the Cosmetics Division was

consummated on Tuesday, November 14, 2000 and at that time $43,250,694.44 (the
"Deposit") was deposited with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the
"Trustee") for repurchase of the Notes pursuant to the Offer. Because this
amount was sufficient to repurchase all the outstanding Notes pursuant to the
Offer, in accordance with the Indenture for the Notes (the "Indenture") the
Company was released from certain of the provisions of the Indenture (including,
but not limited to, covenants restricting incurrence of debt, mergers, asset
sales, dividends, transactions with affiliates and certain event of default
provisions) and the Trustee released all of the collateral securing the Notes.

         As of 5:00 p.m. on the Expiration Date, the Company had received
tenders with respect to $41,351,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. After
settlement of the Offer, the Trustee returned the remainder of the Deposit to
the Company. The Company had previously purchased $50.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes in a tender offer and consent solicitation which
was settled on August 11, 2000. Consequently, after completion of the Offer,
$8,649,000 principal amount of Notes remains outstanding. On November 17, 2000,
the Company issued a press release announcing, among other things, the
completion of the Offer. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
