Report of Independent Public Accountants

To the Shareholder of Imperial Adhesives, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Imperial Adhesives, Inc. (an
Ohio corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NS Group, Inc. see note 11) as
of September 30, 2000 and September 25, 1999, and the related statements of
operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended September 30, 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Imperial Adhesives, Inc. as of
September 30, 2000 and September 25, 1999, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30,
2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

1. THE COMPANY

Imperial Adhesives, Inc. (the Company) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of NS
Group, Inc. (the Parent) throughout the periods covered by the accompanying
financial statements. See Note 11 regarding the sale of the company subsequent
to the yearend.

The Company is a custom manufacturer of water-borne, solvent-borne and hot-melt
adhesives and footwear finishes, with approximately 700 active formulas. The
Company's multiple product lines are used primarily in product assembly
applications in such industries as construction, packaging, transportation,
marine, furniture, and footwear.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash includes currency on hand and demand deposits with financial institutions.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
primarily using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory cost include
labor, material and manufacturing overhead.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
respective estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery, furniture and
equipment are depreciated over a range of 3 to 12 years. Buildings are
depreciated over 30 years. Land improvements and leasehold improvements are
amortized over a range of 3 to 5 years. Depreciation expense was $400, $414 and
$363 for the years ended September 30, 2000, September 25, 1999 and September
28, 1998, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets on an ongoing basis. Long-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment wherever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the related asset may no be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If the asset is determined to be impaired, the
impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of
the asset exceeds its fair value.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when products are shipped to the customer.

INCOME TAXES

The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of the
Parent. The consolidated federal income tax provision of the Parent is allocated
to its subsidiaries, including the Company, on the basis of calculations as if
members of the consolidated group filed separate returns. The Company's
intercompany payables to the Parent are credited with an amount equal to the
federal income tax provision allocated to the Company. All federal deferred
taxes are maintained by the Parent.

The Company files state income tax returns on a separate company basis. The
provision for state income taxes includes both a current and deferred component.
State deferred income taxes are maintained for the estimated future state tax
effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the
state tax basis of certain assets and liabilities.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION AND COMPLIANCE

Environmental remediation costs are accrued, except to the extent
capitalizable, when incurrence of such costs are probable and the costs can be
reasonably estimated. Environmental compliance costs include maintenance and
operating costs associated with pollution control facilities, costs of ongoing
monitoring programs, permit costs and other similar costs. Such costs are
expensed as incurred.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUING)

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable,
payable to parent, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and other current
liabilities approximate to their fair values at September 30, 2000 and September
25, 1999, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company estimates the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt obligations,
including current portion, using the discounted cash flow method with interest
rates currently available for similar obligations. The carrying amounts reported
in the Company's balance sheets for these obligations approximate fair value.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company grants trade credit to its customers, which subjects the Company to
concentrations of credit risk within the industries it serves (see Note 1). To
minimize this risk, ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition
are performed, although collateral is not required. In addition, the Company
maintains an allowance for potential credit losses. The Company estimates an
allowance for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of its customers
as well as general economic conditions. Consequently, an adverse change in those
factors could affect the Company's estimate of its allowance for doubtful
accounts.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FISCAL YEAR-END

The Company's fiscal year for all periods shown ended on the last Saturday of
September. Fiscal year 2000 contains fifty-three weeks, while fiscal years 1999
and 1998 contain fifty-two weeks.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company utilizes certain corporate-wide services of the Parent, the more
significant of which relate to general management, compensation and benefits
administration, and treasury services. The Parent allocates cost for such
services to the Company based on a percentage of sales dollars. Such
allocations for fiscal years 2000, 1999, and 1998 were $900, $602, and $373,
respectively, and are included in selling and administrative expenses in the
accompanying Statements of Operations. Additionally, the Parent procures
certain outside services, such as legal, accounting and insurance, on a
corporate-wide basis and allocates cost for such services on the basis of
specific identification to the extent practicable. In the opinion of
management, such allocations have been made on a reasonable basis and do not
differ materially from the actual costs which would have been incurred had the
Company actually operated as a separate stand-alone entity.

In addition, the Company participates in the Parent's corporate cash management
system. Under this system, the Company's cash receipts and disbursements are
automatically cleared or funded through the Parent's centralized cash accounts
and/or line of credit. Accordingly, the Company has no short-term investments,
maintains minimal cash balances and has no separate line of credit facility.
However, the Company is charged or credited for interest expense or income on
its balances in the corporate cash management system. Such intercompany charges
are reflected as interest income (expense) from Parent in the accompanying
Statements of Operations.

The Company, together with certain other subsidiaries of the Parent, jointly
and severally guarantees senior secured notes issued by the Parent with an
outstanding balance of $72,355 at September 30, 2000.

8. INCOME TAXES

The components of the provision for income taxes, are as follows for the years

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Parent has established various profit sharing plans at the operating
companies which are based on the earnings of the respective subsidiaries.
The Parent also has defined contribution plans covering substantially all of
its employees and a non-qualified deferred compensation plan covering certain
employees. The expense for these plans was approximately $454, $379, and $403
in fiscal years 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has various commitments for the purchase of materials and supplies
arising in the ordinary course of business.

The Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits and administrative
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business with respect to workers'
compensation, health care and product liability coverages (each of which is
self-insured to certain levels), as well as commercial and other matters. The
Company accrues for the cost of such matters when the incurrence of such
costs is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Based


                                      F-12
<PAGE>   15
upon its evaluation of available information, management does not believe that
any such matters are likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a
material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

10. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company is subject to various federal, state, and local environmental laws
and regulations pertaining to the discharge of materials into the environment,
the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, the remediation of
contamination, and otherwise relating to health, safety, and protection of the
environment. These laws and regulations provide for substantial fines and
criminal sanctions for violations and impose liability for the costs of clean
up, and for certain damages resulting from past spills, disposals, or other
releases of hazardous substances. The Company has been named as a potentially
responsible party under the Comprehensive Environment Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act (CERCLA) for cleanup of a multiparty waste disposal site.
The Company believes that it will be partially indemnified with respect to this
claim by the prior owners of one of the Company's facilities. Additionally, the
Company has identified certain other instances of potential contamination that
may require remediation. The Company had remediation reserves of $125 at
September 30, 2000.

Based upon its evaluation of available information, management does not believe
that any of the environmental contingency matters discussed above are likely,
individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the
Company cannot predict with certainty that new information or developments with
respect to its environmental contingency matters, individually or in the
aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 11, 2000, subsequent to the date of the accompanying financial
statements, the common stock of the Company was sold by the Parent to a
subsidiary of Sovereign Specialty Chemicals, Inc. in a cash transaction. The

              Sovereign Specialty Chemicals Inc. and Subsidiaries
                 Notes to Consolidated Pro forma Balance Sheet


The accompanying consolidated pro forma balance sheet reflects the acquisition
of Imperial Adhesives Inc. (Imperial) as if the acquisition had occurred on
September 30, 2000. The adjustments to reflect the acquisition are as follows:

(1)  Per the terms of the stock purchase agreement, certain Imperial assets and
     liabilities were specifically excluded and not acquired by the Company.

(2)  Records the preliminary goodwill arising from the acquisition of Imperial.

(3)  Reflects amount drawn on credit facility to finance the acquisition of
     Imperial.

(4)  Reflects the reclassification and elimination of purchased equity within
     the consolidation.

(5)  The Company has announced its plans to close Imperial's Nashville
     manufacturing facility. The Company will utilize existing capacity,
     primarily at its Buffalo and Akron facilities, to manufacture Imperial
     product. Management expects to incur approximately $1.0 million in costs
     directly attributable to the closure of the facility. As a result, a
     provision for plant closure has been recorded under purchase accounting
     and included as part of the pro forma adjustments at September 30, 2000.
     Once vacated, the Company intends to sell the Nashville Manufacturing
     facility.

     In addition, Imperial's operating results will benefit from lower freight
     and raw material costs as a result of leveraging Sovereign's purchasing
     volume. When fully implemented, management expects cost savings from the
     activities noted above to approximate $2.0 million which have not been
     included as a proforma adjustment.
