                      INSILCO HOLDING CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

      Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                                  June 30, 1999

(1)     Basis of Presentation
        ---------------------

        The accompanying unaudited condensed 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-month and six-month periods
        ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
        may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999.

        The balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited
        financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
        information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
        principles for complete financial statements.

        For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
        and footnotes thereto included in Insilco Holding Co. and Subsidiaries
        ("Holdings" or the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
        ended December 31, 1998.

(2)     Significant Transactions
        ------------------------

        The Company was involved in several material transactions in 1998 that
        resulted in significant changes to its debt and capital structure. The
        following is a brief description of these transactions, for further
        information see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
        ended December 31, 1998.

        The Mergers. On August 17, 1998, a series of transactions involving the
        Company was completed. These transactions included, among other things,
        the formation by Insilco Holding Co., then a wholly owned subsidiary of
        Insilco Corporation ("Insilco"), of a wholly owned subsidiary
        ("ReorgSub"), followed by the merger of ReorgSub with and into Insilco
        (the "Reorganization Merger"), pursuant to which each stockholder of
        Insilco had his or her shares of Insilco converted into the same number
        of shares of Holdings and the right to receive $0.01 per share in cash,
        and Holdings became the parent of Insilco.

        Promptly following the Reorganization Merger, a second merger took place
        pursuant to which Silkworm Acquisition Corporation ("Silkworm"), an
        affiliate of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Merchant Banking ("DLJMB")
        merged with and into Holdings (the "Merger," and together with the
        Reorganization Merger, the "Mergers") and each share of Holdings Common
        Stock was converted into the right to receive $43.47 in cash and 0.03378
        of a share of Holdings Common Stock. Thus, as a result of the Mergers,
        each stockholder of Insilco, in respect of each of his or her shares,
        received $43.48 in cash and retained 0.03378 of a share of Holdings
        Common Stock. Concurrently with the consummation of the Mergers, the
        DLJMB Funds purchased 1,400,000 shares of Holdings 15% Senior
        Exchangeable Preferred Stock due 2010 (the "PIK Preferred Stock"), and
        warrants to purchase 65,603 shares of Holdings Common Stock at an
        exercise price of $0.001 per share.

        Following the Mergers, (i) Insilco's existing stockholders retained, in
        the aggregate, approximately 10.1% (9.4% on a fully diluted basis) of
        the outstanding shares of Holdings Common Stock; (ii) the

                                  June 30, 1999

        DLJMB Funds held approximately 69.0% (69.8% on a fully diluted basis) of
        the outstanding shares of Holdings Common Stock; (iii) 399 Venture
        Partners Inc., an affiliate of Citibank, N.A. ("CVC"), purchased shares
        of Silkworm which in the Merger were converted into approximately 19.3%
        (17.8% on a fully diluted basis) of the outstanding shares of Holdings
        Common Stock; and (iv) management of the Company purchased approximately
        1.7% (1.5% on a fully diluted basis) of the outstanding shares of
        Holdings Common Stock.

        Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reorganization Merger,

        "Options") was canceled and, in lieu thereof, each holder of an Option
        received a cash payment in an amount equal to (x) the excess, if any, of
        $45.00 over the exercise price of the Option multiplied by (y) the
        number of shares subject to the Option, less applicable withholding
        taxes (the "Option Cash Payments"). Certain holders of such Options
        elected to utilize amounts otherwise receivable by them to purchase
        equity or equity units of Holdings.

        The Merger Financing: The total amount of cash required to consummate
        the foregoing transactions was approximately $204.4 million. This amount
        was financed with (i) gross proceeds of approximately $70.2 million from
        the issuance by Silkworm of units (which were converted into units of
        Holdings (the "Holdings Units") in the Merger), each unit consisting of
        $1,000 principal amount at maturity of 14% Senior Discount Notes due
        2008 (the "14% Notes") and one warrant to purchase 0.325 of a share of
        Holdings Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, (ii) the
        issuance by Holdings to the DLJMB Funds, CVC and certain members of
        management of the Company, for an aggregate consideration of
        approximately $56.1 million, of 1,245,138 shares of Silkworm common
        stock (which were converted into Holdings Common Stock in the Merger),
        (iii) the issuance to the DLJMB Funds for an aggregate consideration of
        $35.0 million of 1,400,000 shares of the PIK Preferred Stock by Holdings
        and the DLJMB Warrants to purchase 65,603 shares of Holdings Common
        Stock at an exercise price of $.001 per share, and (iv) approximately
        $43.1 million of new borrowings under the Company's existing credit
        facility (the "Existing Credit Facility").

        Refinancing of 10 1/4% Subordinated Debt. As a result of the Mergers,
        the Company, through Insilco, was required to make an offer to purchase
        all of Insilco's outstanding $150 million 10 1/4% Senior Subordinated
        Notes due 2007 (the "10 1/4% Notes") at 101% of their aggregate
        principal amount, plus accrued interest. To fund a portion of the
        repurchase of the 10 1/4% Notes, the Company, through Insilco, sold $120
        million of 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "12% Notes") with
        warrants to purchase 62,400 shares of Holdings Common Stock at $45 per
        share on November 9, 1998. The balance of the repurchase was funded by
        borrowings under Insilco's Credit Facilities.

        In addition, on November 24, 1998, the Company amended and restated
        Insilco's Bank Credit Agreement to, among other things, provide for two
        Credit Facilities: a $175 million Revolving Facility and a $125 million
        Term Facility.

(3)   Purchase of EFI
      ---------------

      On January 25, 1999, the Company, through Insilco, purchased the stock of
      Eyelets for Industries, Inc. and EFI Metal Forming, Inc. (collectively
      referred to as "EFI") a precision stamping manufacturer, for $25.3
      million, including costs incurred directly related to the transaction. The
      entire purchase was financed from borrowings under the Company's Revolving
      Credit Facility. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
      method of accounting. The preliminary excess of the purchase price over
      the net identifiable assets acquired of $3,676,000 includes costs for
      employee terminations, facility closure and related costs of $382,000, has
      been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
      over 20 years and is pending the calculation of deferred taxes. In
      addition, the Company also entered into a Sales Participation Agreement
      which provides for additional payments over the next 13 years contingent
      on future sales of a specific product line. The additional payments, if
      any, will be accounted for as additional goodwill. The acquisition did not
      result in a significant business combination within the definition
      provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission and therefore, pro
      forma financial information has not been presented.

        The Company is implicated in various claims and legal actions arising in
        the ordinary course of business. Those claims or liabilities will be
        addressed in the ordinary course of business and will be paid as
        expenses are incurred. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
        disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
        the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or
        liquidity.

                      INSILCO HOLDING CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

      Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                                  June 30, 1999

(8)    Comprehensive Income
       --------------------

       Comprehensive income (loss) was ($5,510,000), and $4,504,000 for the
       three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, including other
       comprehensive income consisting of foreign currency translation
       adjustments (losses) totaling ($332,000) and $71,000 respectively.

       Comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
       1998 was ($6,433,000) and $7,304,000, respectively, including other
       comprehensive income consisting of foreign currency translation
       adjustments (losses) totaling ($316,000) and $90,000, respectively.

(9)    Related Party Transactions
       --------------------------

(11)    Dividend Restrictions
        ---------------------

        The Company is a holding company and its ability to make payments in
        respect of the 14% Notes is dependent upon the receipt of dividends or
        other distributions from its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

                      INSILCO HOLDING CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

      Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                                  June 30, 1999

        Insilco and its subsidiaries are parties to the Existing Credit Facility
        and Insilco is party to the 12% Note Indenture, each of which imposes
        substantial restrictions on Insilco's ability to pay dividends or make
        other distributions to the Company. Any payment of dividends or other
        distributions will be subject to certain financial conditions set forth
        in such indenture and is subject to certain prohibitions contained in
        the Existing Credit Facility. Under the most restrictive covenants, $0.8
        million was free of limitations on the payment of dividends or other
        distributions at June 30, 1999.

(12)    Restructuring and Plant Closing Costs
        -------------------------------------

        In the second quarter of 1999, the Company approved plans to reduce its
        corporate office staff, restructure certain of its heat exchanger and
        tubing manufacturing facilities, and close its heat exchanger machinery
        and equipment manufacturing operations (McKenica) with the objectives of
        lowering operating costs and focusing resources on core business units.

        The estimated cost of these actions is $8,882,000 which has been
        reflected in cost of sales ($3,156,000), SG&A ($211,000) and
        restructuring and plant closing costs ($5,515,000). The charge consisted
        of employee separation costs of $3,040,000, asset impairments of
        $854,000 remaining noncancellable lease costs $1,267,000 and other exit
        costs of $3,721,000. Employee separations occurred at manufacturing
        facilities affected by the plan and at the corporate office. The
        decision to exit the heat exchanger machinery and equipment business
        decreased cash flows triggering the asset impairment. The amount of
        impairment of such assets was based on the estimated net realizable
        market value of the assets.

        Special charges recorded during the quarter and related accruals in
        thousands were as follows:

        The headcount reduction from these activities is approximately 115
        employees. Other exit costs consist of inventory write-downs, losses on
        remaining percentage of completion contracts and additional warranty
        costs, which are included primarily in cost of sales and SG&A and relate
        to the closing of the heat exchanger machinery and equipment business.
        The accrual of $5,670,000 is included in accrued expenses and other.

(13)    Subsequent Event
        ----------------

        On July 20, 1999, the Company through a newly created wholly-owned
        subsidiary, Thermal Transfer Acquisition Corporation, completed its
        merger with Thermal Transfer Products to form Thermal Transfer Products
        Limited ("Thermal Transfer"). Thermal Transfer, a wholly owned
        subsidiary of Insilco Corporation, is a leading manufacturer of
        industrial oil coolers and other heat exchanger products and is based in
        Racine, Wisconsin.

        The purchase price of $27.2 million, including estimated costs to
        complete the transaction, has not yet been allocated and is pending
        asset appraisals. The Company expects to have all costs quantified
        within one year of the date of acquisition and will account for the
        acquisition as a purchase. The Company is currently evaluating an
        appropriate period for amortizing any goodwill that might result from
        this transaction. The Company financed the acquisition through its
        credit facilities.

                       INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT




THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
INSILCO HOLDING CO.:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Insilco Holding Co.
and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1999, and the related condensed consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. These condensed consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Insilco Holding Co. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 10, 1999, except
as to the fourth paragraph of Note 7, which is as of March 26, 1999, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998, is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
has been derived.

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

                                    OVERVIEW

The Company consummated several material transactions in 1998 that resulted in
significant changes to its debt and capital structure. As a result of these
transactions, the Company's condensed consolidated results for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are not directly comparable.
Pro forma results of operations, which assume these transactions occurred at the
beginning of their respective periods, and additional details are presented in
Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The discussion that follows is based on a management approach and is consistent
with the basis and manner in which the Company's management internally
disaggregates financial information for the purposes of assisting in making
internal operating decisions. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for summary financial information by business
segment.

  THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consolidated Results of Operations. Our results for the second quarter of 1999
were impacted by the following:

      o   We announced the closing of our heat exchanger machinery and equipment
          business (McKenica) and took a $5.8 million charge relating to this
          action in the quarter.
      o   We announced the restructuring of our corporate staff and related
          operations and took a $3.0 million charge relating to this action in
          the quarter.
      o   As part of our re-organization, we created a separate legal entity to
          better manage our future health care costs. Consulting fees relating
          to the analysis of potential cost benefits and the expense of
          establishing this subsidiary were $1.8 million and are included in
          significant legal, professional and merger expenses.
      o   We incurred $0.3 million of severance costs relating to
          rationalization activities within our operating units and $0.6 million
          of legal fees relating to our antitrust and other significant legal
          cases.

Similarly, our results for the second quarter of 1998 were impacted by the
following:

      o   Merger fees relating to the August 1998 merger with DLJMB of $1.3
          million were incurred and are included in significant legal,
          professional and merger expenses (see Note 2 of the Notes to the
          Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
      o   We incurred $0.7 million in legal fees relating to our antitrust and
          other significant legal cases and these expenses are included in
          significant legal, professional and merger expenses.
      o   We incurred severance costs relating to Corporate staff reductions of
          $0.3 million.

Our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased $8.4 million,
or 5%, to $178.4 million from $170.0 million for the same period last year.
Sales in the Automotive Components segment increased $1.8 million or 3% over
last year as a result of higher transmission component, vehicle heat exchanger,
and heat exchanger tubing sales. Sales in the Technologies segment increased
$7.0 million or 14%. Contributing to this increase in sales was this year's
acquisition of EFI in January and last year's acquisitions of two Ireland cable
assembly operations in the second half. Seasonal sales from the Specialty
Publishing segment were flat because of accelerated yearbook shipments in the
previous quarter. Finally, other segment sales, which includes heat exchanger
machinery and equipment and welded stainless tubing products, declined $0.5
million or 7%.


                                       16

<PAGE>   18



Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 decreased $8.9 million
to $5.3 million from $14.2 million for the same period last year. The 1999 and
1998 results reflect $11.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in charges
and expenses relating to the actions mentioned earlier. Without these charges,
operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1999, would have increased
$0.2 million to $16.8 million from $16.6 million for the same period last year.
Operating income for the Automotive Components segment declined $0.5 million or
7%. Aftermarket tubing sales, which generally provide higher margins for our
tubing products, continue to lag behind the prior year and are offsetting higher
operating income from our transmission component products. Operating income from
the Technologies segment declined $1.4 million or 23% as a result of lower sales
in the core product lines. Operating income from the Specialty Publishing
segment rose $2.5 million or 46% as a result of process improvements and
improved on-time deliveries. Other segment operating income decreased $0.2
million, as a result of a higher operating loss from our heat exchanger
equipment and machinery operations.

Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 increased $5.4 million to
$12.3 million from $6.9 million last year, reflecting the higher interest rates
of our 1998 debt offerings and higher debt levels as a result of our acquiring
EFI and the merger with DLJMB.

Other income decreased $1.1 million due to several different one-time items in
1998.

We had an income tax benefit for the period of $0.5 million compared to an
expense of $5.0 million last year due to the pre-tax loss in the second quarter
of 1999.

Automotive Components Segment. Net sales for the quarter increased $1.8 million,
or 3%, to $56.2 million from $54.4 million in the same period last year.
Transmission component, vehicle heat exchanger, and heat exchanger tubing sales
were up 9%, 8% and 5%, respectively, from the second quarter last year. Copper
and brass tubing sales, which generally provide higher margins, declined 27%
from the same period last year due to weaker demand for industrial and
aftermarket radiators. As noted, sales of industrial radiators remain soft and
trail last year's second quarter revenues by 14%. We believe the soft demand for
industrial radiators is temporary and will improve as the demand for the end use
products that drive the demand for our products improves.

Operating income for the period decreased $0.5 million, or 7%, to $6.0 million
from $6.5 million last year. This decline was primarily the result of lower
copper and brass tubing sales. Operating margins fell to 10.7% from 12.0% last
year, reflecting the tubing mix change and lower industrial radiator sales.

Technologies Segment. Net sales for the period increased $7.0 million, or 14%,
to $55.8 million from $48.8 million last year. Sales from our acquisition of EFI
and two cable assembly operations in Ireland, which were all purchased after
June 30, 1998, accounted for approximately $10.8 million in new revenues.
Offsetting these new revenues were lower sales, which of existing products were
down 9%. We continued to experience soft demand for transformer products during
the quarter, but are now seeing increased order activity for these products.
Connector sales were below last year due to lower unit shipments of plugs and
price pressures on certain jack products.

Operating income for the quarter declined $1.4 million, or 23%, to $4.7 million
from $6.1 million last year. The decline was due to the lower sales mentioned
above. We are currently rationalizing our manufacturing facilities to better
utilize our lower cost facilities, particularly for cable assemblies and
transformer products. During the quarter we consolidated our two precision
stamping facilities in El Paso, Texas into one facility. Operating margins fell
to 8.5% from 12.6% last year reflecting lower sales and pricing pressures on
certain connector products.

Specialty Publishing Segment. Seasonal net sales for the quarter were flat with
last year at $59.6 million, because of accelerated yearbook shipments in the
previous quarter.

Operating income rose $2.5 million, or 46%, to $7.9 million from $5.4 million,
as a result of process improvements and improved on-time deliveries. We expect
these improvements to carry over into the fall season, which ends in September.

Other Segment. Net sales declined $0.5 million, or 7%, to $6.8 million from $7.3
million last year. Sales of heat exchanger machinery and equipment fell 66% and
during the quarter as we announced our plans to close this division and sell its
equipment. Sales of welded stainless steel tubing products increased 6%.

Operating income decreased $0.2 million to breakeven from $0.2 million last
year, as a result of a higher operating loss from our heat exchanger equipment
and machinery operations.

    SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consolidated Results of Operations. Our results for the first half of 1999 were
impacted by the following:

      o   We announced the closing of our heat exchanger machinery and equipment
          business (McKenica) and took a $5.8 million charge relating to this
          action.
      o   We announced the restructuring of our corporate staff and related
          operations and took a $3.0 million charge relating to this action.
      o   As part of our re-organization, we created a separate legal entity to
          better manage our future health care costs. Consulting fees relating
          to the analysis of potential cost benefits and the expense of
          establishing this subsidiary were $1.8 million and are included in
          significant legal, professional and merger expenses.
      o   We incurred $0.5 million of severance costs relating to
          rationalization activities within our operating units and $0.7 million
          of legal fees relating to our and antitrust and other significant
          legal cases.

Similarly, our results for the first half of 1998 were impacted by the
following:

      o   Merger fees relating to the August 1998 merger with DLJMB of $1.3
          million were incurred and are included in significant legal,
          professional and merger expenses (see Note 2 of the Notes to the
          Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
      o   We incurred $1.0 million in legal fees relating to our antitrust cases
          and other significant legal cases and these expenses are included in
          significant legal, professional and merger expenses.
      o   We incurred severance costs relating to Corporate staff reductions of
          $0.7 million.

Our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased $18.0 million, or
6%, to $305.3 million from $287.3 million for the same period last year. Sales
in the Automotive Components segment increased $4.2 million or 4% over last year
as a result of higher transmission component, vehicle heat exchanger, and heat
exchanger tubing sales. Sales in the Technologies segment increased $12.3
million or 12%. Contributing to this increase in sales was this year's
acquisition of EFI in January and last year's acquisitions of two Ireland cable
assembly operations in the second half. Seasonal sales from the Specialty
Publishing segment were up $1.5 million or 2%. Finally, other segment sales,
which includes heat exchanger machinery and equipment and welded stainless
tubing products were flat to the prior year.

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 decreased $10.3 million
to $13.7 million from $24.0 million for the same period last year. The 1999 and
1998 results reflect $11.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in charges
and expenses relating to the actions mentioned earlier. Without these charges,
operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 would have decreased
$1.5 million to $25.5 million from $27.0 million for the same period last year.
Operating income for the Automotive Components segment declined $1.0



                                       18

million or 8%. Aftermarket tubing sales, which generally provide higher margins
for our tubing products, have lagged behind the prior year and are offsetting
higher operating income from our transmission component and vehicle heat
exchanger products. Operating income from the Technologies segment declined $3.1
million or 24% as a result of lower sales in core product lines. Operating
income from the Specialty Publishing segment rose $2.3 million or 45% as a
result of process improvements and improved on-time deliveries. Other segment
operating income is flat with last year, excluding the shutdown costs incurred
at the heat exchanger equipment and machinery operation.

Interest expense for the first half increased $9.8 million to $23.6 million from
$13.8 million last year, reflecting the higher interest rates of our 1998 debt
offerings and higher debt levels as a result of our acquiring EFI and the merger
with DLJMB.

Other income decreased $1.3 million due to several different one-time items in
1998.

We had an income tax benefit for the period of $1.3 million compared to an
expense of $6.5 million last year due to the pre-tax loss in the first half of
1999.

Automotive Components Segment. Net sales for the six month period increased $4.2
million, or 4%, to $113.1 million from $108.9 million in the same period last
year. Transmission component, vehicle heat exchanger, and heat exchanger tubing
sales were up 6%, 10% and 8%, respectively, from the same period last year.
Copper and brass tubing sales, which generally provide higher margins, declined
32% from the same period last year due to weaker demand for industrial and
aftermarket radiators. Sales of industrial radiators trail last year's first
half revenues by 17%.

Operating income for the period decreased $1.0 million, or 8%, to $12.0 million
from $13.0 million last year. This decline was the result of lower copper and
brass tubing sales. Operating margins fell to 10.6% from 11.9% last year,
reflecting the tubing mix change and lower industrial radiator sales.

Technologies Segment. Net sales for the period increased $12.3 million, or 12%,
to $111.3 million from $99.0 million last year. Sales from our acquisition of
EFI and two cable assembly operations in Ireland, which were all purchased after
June 30, 1998, accounted for approximately $20.2 million in new revenues.
Offsetting these new revenues were lower domestic cable assembly, transformer
and precision stampings sales which collectively were down 8%, reflecting
continuing weakness in worldwide demand for electronic components.

Operating income declined $3.1 million, or 24%, to $9.5 million from $12.6
million last year. The decline was due to the lower sales mentioned above.
Operating margins fell to 8.5% from 12.7% last year reflecting lower sales and
pricing pressures on certain connector products.

Specialty Publishing Segment. Seasonal net sales increased $1.5 million, or 2%,
to $66.0 million from $64.5 million in the prior year period.

Operating income rose $2.3 million, or 45%, to $7.3 million from $5.0 million,
as a result of process improvements and improved on-time deliveries.

Other Segment. Net sales were flat compared to the prior year. Sales of heat
exchanger machinery and equipment fell 31%. Sales of welded stainless steel
tubing products increased 6%.

Operating income was flat with last year, excluding the cost of the shutdown of
the heat exchanger equipment and machinery operation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net cash provided
by operating activities was $5.8 million compared to $3.8 million used in
operating activities during same period last year. The $9.6 million reduction in
cash requirements was due to improved working capital management, including
accounts receivable inventories and accounts payable.

On February 16, 1999, we paid $3.8 million in cash as our payment of interest on
our 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007.

Investing Activities. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30,
1999 were $3.2 million less than the comparable period for 1998. We expect our
1999 capital expenditures to be consistent with 1998. Capital spending
allocations during the period were 50% to the Automotive Components segment and
45% to the Technologies segment.

Our acquisition of EFI was funded by borrowings under our Revolving Credit
Facility. In addition, we received a cash dividend of $2.9 million from its
investment in Thermalex compared to a $1.3 million dividend received in the
first quarter of 1998.

Financing Activities. During the first six months of 1999, we purchased the
remaining $1.5 million of outstanding 10 1/4% Senior Notes. We also paid cash of
$0.6 million in principal on our Term Loan Facility. On July 20, 1999 we
purchased Thermal Transfer Products. The purchase price of $26.5 million
included the acquisition of $3.9 million of cash. We financed this acquisition
with borrowings from our revolving credit facility (see Note 11 of the Notes to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

We expect our principal sources of liquidity to be from our operating activities
and funding from the revolving line-of-credit agreement. We further expect that
these sources will enable us to meet our cash requirements for working capital,
capital expenditures, interest, taxes and debt repayment for the foreseeable
future.

Accumulated Deficit. At June 30, 1999, we had a stockholders' deficit totaling
$245.5 million, which is a result of both the Mergers (see Note 2 of the Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and the 1997 share
repurchases as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998.

MARKET RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Our general policy is to use foreign currency borrowings as needed to finance
our foreign currency denominated assets. We use such borrowings to reduce our
asset exposure to the effects of changes in exchange rates - not as speculative
investments. As of June 30, 1999, we did not have any derivative instruments in
place for managing foreign currency exchange rate risks.

At the end of the second quarter of 1999, we had $216.0 million in variable rate
debt outstanding. A one percentage point increase in interest rates would
increase the amount of annual interest paid by approximately $2.2 million. As of
June 30, 1999, we had no interest rate derivative instruments in place for
managing interest rate risks.

THE YEAR 2000 ISSUES

As is more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998, we commenced an assessment in 1996 of the potential effects
of the Year 2000 issue on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. To date, the costs incurred to implement our Year 2000 compliance
program have been immaterial. Our management estimates these costs will remain
immaterial through its completion of the program. Management's assessment of the
risks associated with its Year 2000 program and the status of our's contingency
plans are unchanged from that described in the 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.



                                       20

Our plans to complete our Year 2000 compliance program are based on our
management's best estimates, which are based on numerous assumptions about
future events including the continued availability of certain resources and
other factors. Therefore, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be
achieved and actual results could differ materially from those plans. Specific
factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited
to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to
locate and correct all relevant computer codes and similar uncertainties.

The information above contains forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation, statements relating to our plans, strategies, objectives,
expectations, intentions, and adequate resources that are made pursuant to the
"safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements about Year 2000
should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under the heading Forward
Looking Information.

ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

          On May 17, 1999, Insilco Holding Co. through its wholly owned
          subsidiary Insilco Corporation, entered into a definitive merger
          agreement with Racine, Wisconsin-based Thermal Transfer Products, Ltd.
          whereby Thermal Transfer Acquisition Corporation, a newly created
          wholly owned subsidiary of Insilco Corporation, would be merged with
          Thermal Transfer Products. The surviving entity, Thermal Transfer
          Products Ltd., would be a wholly owned subsidiary of Insilco
          Corporation. The merger was completed on July 20, 1999. The gross
          purchase price paid by Insilco Holding Company was $26.5 million. The
          funding for the merger came from Insilco Corporation's credit
          facilities. Thermal Transfer Products Ltd. is a leading manufacturer
          of industrial oil coolers and other heat exchanger products.

          This transaction was accomplished through arms length negotiations
          between Insilco Corporation management and Thermal Transfer Products
          management.

          Insilco Holding Co.'s press release issued July 20, 1999 is attached
          as an exhibit and is incorporated herein by reference.

                                MERGER AGREEMENT

     MERGER AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated May 17, 1999, by and among
INSILCO CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Insilco"), THERMAL TRANSFER
ACQUISITION CORP., a Wisconsin corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Insilco ("Newco"), THERMAL TRANSFER PRODUCTS, LTD., a Wisconsin corporation
("Company"), ROYSE MYERS and BARBARA MYERS (individually a "Shareholder," and
together, "Shareholders").

                                 R E C I T A L S

     A. Company is engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of
heat exchangers and related products (the "Business").

     B. The respective Boards of Directors of Insilco, Newco and Company have
approved the merger of Newco with and into Company pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement as a means to enable Insilco to acquire 100% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Company.

     C. Insilco owns one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Newco, and as an inducement to Company and Shareholders to
enter into this Agreement with Newco and to grant Newco the rights described
herein, and in consideration of the valuable benefits to accrue to Insilco as a
result of this Agreement, Insilco desires to guaranty the payment and
performance of all Newco's obligations under this Agreement.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective
representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions hereinafter
set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

1. THE MERGER

           1.1. The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, in accordance with the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law ("WBCL"),
at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2), Newco shall merge with and
into Company (the "Merger"), and Company shall survive the Merger and shall
continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Wisconsin
(Company in its capacity as the corporation surviving the Merger is sometimes
referred to herein as "Surviving Corporation"). Upon consummation of the Merger,
the separate corporate existence of Newco shall terminate.

           1.2. Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective upon the later
of (a) the time of filing of Articles of Merger with the Department of Financial
Institutions of the State of Wisconsin and (b) the effective date and time of
the Merger as set forth in such Articles of Merger (which shall in no event be
later than the first business day after the Closing Date (as defined in Article
10)). The parties shall each use reasonable efforts to cause such Articles of
Merger to be filed on the Closing Date. The term "Effective Time" shall be the
date and time when the Merger becomes effective, in accordance with this Section
1.2.
<PAGE>   36
           1.3. Conversion of Common Stock.

                      1.3.(a) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 1.6 and
           Section 1.7, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
           part of Company or the holder of any securities of Company, each
           share of voting common stock, no par value, of Company (the "Voting
           Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
           Effective Time (other than shares canceled pursuant to Section
           1.3.(d)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Voting
           Share Purchase Price (as such term is defined in Section 2.1.(b)) and
           the Voting Share Contingent Consideration Amount (as such term is
           defined in Section 2.2(e)(ii)), if any (together with the Voting
           Share Purchase Price, the "Voting Share Merger Consideration"), which
           shall be payable in the manner provided in Section 2.2.

                      1.3.(b) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 1.6 and
           Section 1.7, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
           part of Company or the holder of any securities of Company, each
           share of non-voting common stock, no par value, of Company (the
           "Non-Voting Common Stock," and, together with the Voting Common
           Stock, the "Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior
           to the Effective Time (other than shares canceled pursuant to Section
           1.3.(d)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Non-Voting
           Share Purchase Price (as such term is defined in Section 2.1.(c)) and
           the Non-Voting Share Contingent Consideration Amount (as such term is
           defined in Section 2.2(e)(iii)), if any (together with the Non-Voting
           Share Purchase Price, the "Non-Voting Share Merger Consideration"),
           which shall be payable in the manner provided in Section 2.2.

                      1.3.(c) All of the shares of Common Stock converted into
           the right to receive the Voting Share Merger Consideration or the
           Non-Voting Share Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article 1
           shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled
           and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each
           certificate previously representing any such share of Common Stock
           (each a "Stock Certificate") shall thereafter represent only the
           right to receive the Voting Share Merger Consideration or the
           Non-Voting Share Merger Consideration, as applicable. Stock
           Certificates previously representing shares of Common Stock shall be
           exchanged for that portion of the Voting Share Merger Consideration
           or the Non-Voting Share Merger Consideration, as applicable, that is
           currently payable upon the surrender of such Stock Certificates in
           accordance with Section 1.6, without any interest thereon.

                      1.3.(d) At the Effective Time, all shares of Common Stock
           that are owned by Company as treasury stock shall be canceled and
           shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in
           exchange therefor.

                      1.3.(e) At the Effective Time, each share of common stock,
           $.01 par value, of Newco shall be converted into one share of common
           stock, $.01 par value, of Surviving Corporation.

           1.4. Articles of Incorporation. The Articles of Incorporation of
Newco in effect as of the Effective Time shall be the Articles of Incorporation
of Surviving Corporation after the Merger until thereafter amended in accordance
with applicable law, except that Article I thereof shall be amended as of the
Effective Time to read in its entirety as follows: "The name of the Corporation
shall be `Thermal Transfer Products, Ltd.'"

           1.5. By-Laws. The By-Laws of Newco in effect as of the Effective Time
shall be the By-Laws of Surviving Corporation after the Merger until thereafter
amended in accordance with applicable law.

<PAGE>   37
           1.6. Exchange of Certificates

                      1.6.(a) Newco shall mail to all holders of record of one
           or more Stock Certificates, prior to the Effective Time, a letter of
           transmittal ("Letter of Transmittal"), in reasonable form prepared by
           Insilco or Newco, which shall specify that delivery shall be
           effected, and risk of loss and title to the Stock Certificates shall
           pass, only upon delivery of the Stock Certificates to Surviving
           Corporation, and which shall contain (i) a general release in a form
           reasonably prescribed by Insilco or Newco of claims against Company,
           Insilco and Newco arising prior to or as of the Effective Time
           (except for claims arising pursuant to this Agreement), and (ii)
           instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Stock
           Certificates. Following the Effective Time and upon proper surrender
           of a Stock Certificate (or if applicable an affidavit of lost
           certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to Surviving Corporation)
           for exchange and cancellation to Surviving Corporation, together with
           such properly completed Letter of Transmittal, duly executed by the
           holder of such Stock Certificate, the holder of such Stock
           Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i)
           payment for that portion of the Voting Share Purchase Price and/or
           the Non-Voting Share Purchase Price, as applicable, to which such
           holder is entitled as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.2,
           and(ii) the Voting Share Contingent Consideration Amount or the
           Non-Voting Share Contingent Consideration Amount, if any and as
           applicable, to which such holder becomes entitled pursuant to the
           terms of and at the times designated in Section 2.2 and the Escrow
           Agreement (as such term is defined in Section 6.14).

                      1.6.(b) Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to any
           former holder of shares of Common Stock for any amount delivered in
           good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned
           property, escheat or similar laws.

           1.7. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, shares of Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time and with respect to which dissenters' rights shall have been
properly demanded in accordance with Sections 180.1301-180.1331 of the WBCL
("Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into the right to receive the
Voting Share Merger Consideration or the Non-Voting Share Merger Consideration,
as applicable. Instead, such shares of Common Stock shall be cancelled and the
holders thereof shall only be entitled to payment of the fair value of such
Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Sections
180.1301-180.1331 of the WBCL; provided, however, that (i) if any holder of

accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of any Lien
upon any of the assets of Company under, any term or provision of the Articles
of Incorporation or By-Laws of Company or of any contract, commitment,

           been sufficiently accrued or reserved against in the Recent Balance
           Sheet), municipal and zoning ordinances and easements for public
           utilities, none of which interfere with the use of the property as
           currently utilized ("Permitted Liens"). Company's title thereto will
           not be affected in any way by the transactions contemplated hereby.
           Except as set forth in Schedule 3.10(a), Company is not using, in the
           present conduct of the Business, any properties, rights or assets
           that are not owned, licensed or leased by it.

                      3.10.(b) Condition. Except as set forth on Schedule
           3.10(b), all tangible property (real or personal) owned or leased by
           Company is in good operating condition and repair in all material
           respects (ordinary wear and tear excepted), free from any material
           defects, and is sufficient to carry on the business of Company as
           conducted during the preceding 12 months. To Company's knowledge,
           except as set forth on Schedule 3.10(b), all buildings and other
           structures owned or otherwise utilized by Company are in good

           without payment of compensation therefor, nor to Company's knowledge
           has any such condemnation, expropriation or taking been proposed.

                      3.10.(d) Real Property. Schedule 3.10(d) lists all real
           property currently owned or leased by Company (the "Real Property"),
           including a description of all land, and all encumbrances, easements
           or rights of way of record (or, if not of record, of which Company
           has notice or knowledge) granted on or appurtenant to or otherwise
           affecting such Real Property, the zoning classification thereof, and
           all plants, buildings or other structures located thereon. Schedule
           3.10(d) also lists all real property previously owned or leased at
           any time by Company or any predecessor thereto. There are now in full
           force and effect duly issued certificates of occupancy permitting the
           Real Property and improvements located thereon to be legally used and
           occupied as the same are now constituted. All of the Real Property
           has rights of access to dedicated public highways. To Company's
           knowledge, no fact or condition exists which would prohibit or
           adversely affect the ordinary rights of access to and from the Real
           Property from and to the existing highways and roads and there is no
           pending or threatened restriction or denial, governmental or
           otherwise, upon such ingress and egress. To Company's knowledge,
           there is not (i) any claim of adverse possession or prescriptive
           rights involving any of the Real Property, (ii) any structure located
           on any Real Property which encroaches on or over the boundaries of
           neighboring or adjacent properties or (iii) any structure of any
           other party which encroaches on or over the boundaries of any of such
           Real Property. To Company's knowledge, none of the Real Property is
           located in a flood plain, flood hazard area, wetland or lakeshore
           erosion area within the meaning of any Law, regulation or ordinance.
           No public improvements have been commenced and to Company's knowledge
           none are planned which in either case may result in special
           assessments against or otherwise materially adversely affect any Real
           Property. Company has no notice or knowledge of any (A) planned or
           proposed increase in assessed valuations of any Real Property,

           (B) Order requiring repair, alteration, or correction of any existing
           condition affecting any Real Property or the systems or improvements
           thereat, (C) condition or defect which could give rise to an order of
           the sort referred to in "(B)" above, (D) underground storage tanks,
           or any structural, mechanical, or other defects of material
           significance affecting any Real Property or the systems or
           improvements thereat (including, but not limited to, inadequacy for
           normal use of mechanical systems or disposal or water systems at or
           serving the Real Property), or (E) work that has been done or labor
           or materials that has or have been furnished to any Real Property
           during the period of six (6) months immediately preceding the date of
           this Agreement for which liens could be filed against any of the Real
           Property.

           3.11. Insurance. Set forth in Schedule 3.11 is a complete and
accurate list and description of all policies of fire, liability, product
liability, workers compensation, health and other forms of insurance presently
in effect with respect to the business and properties of Company, including
coverage limits with respect to such policies, true and correct copies of which
have heretofore been made available to Insilco and Newco. Schedule 3.11 sets
forth a brief description of each pending claim in excess of $10,000 under each
such policy other than health or disability. To Company's knowledge, all such
policies are valid, outstanding and enforceable policies and no such policy (nor
any previous policy) provides for or is subject to any currently enforceable
retroactive rate or premium adjustment, loss sharing arrangement or other actual
or contingent liability arising wholly or partially out of events arising prior
to the date hereof. No written notice of cancellation or termination has been
received with respect to any such policy, and Company has no knowledge of any
act or omission of Company which could result in cancellation of any such policy
prior to its scheduled expiration date. Company has not been refused any
insurance with respect to any aspect of the operations of the business nor has
its coverage been limited by any insurance carrier to which it has applied for
insurance or with which it has carried insurance during the last three years.
Company has duly and timely made all claims it has been entitled to make under
each policy of insurance. Company has made copies of all product liability and
general liability insurance policies in effect since January 1, 1994 available
to Insilco for inspection. There is no claim by Company pending under any such
policies as to which coverage has been questioned, denied or disputed by the
underwriters of such policies, and Company does not know of any basis for denial
of any claim under any such policy. Company has not received any written notice
from or on behalf of any insurance carrier issuing any such policy that
insurance rates therefor will hereafter be substantially increased (except to
the extent that insurance rates may be increased for all similarly situated
risks) or that there will hereafter be a cancellation or an increase in a
deductible (or an increase in premiums in order to maintain an existing
deductible) or nonrenewal of any such policy. To Company's knowledge, such
policies are sufficient in all material respects for compliance by Company with
all requirements of law and with the requirements of all material contracts to
which Company is a party.

           pension, thrift, savings, profit sharing, retirement, incentive bonus
           or other bonus, medical, dental, life, accident insurance, benefit,

           plans, vacation and sick leave plans, programs, arrangements and
           policies, including, without limitation, all "employee benefit plans"
           (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
           Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")), all employee manuals and
           other material written Company policies applicable to employees which
           are provided to, for the benefit of, or relate to, any persons
           employed by Company ("Company Employees"). The items described in the
           foregoing sentence are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively
           as "Employee Plans," and each individually as an "Employee Plan."
           True and correct copies of all the Employee Plans, including all
           amendments thereto, have heretofore been made available to Insilco
           and Newco except

                                       14
<PAGE>   49
           that, where an Employee Plan constitutes an individual agreement
           between Company and an employee and Company has entered into
           substantially similar agreements with multiple employees, Company has
           made available a true and correct copy of a representative form of
           such agreement to Insilco and Newco and disclosed to Insilco and
           Newco any material deviations therefrom. No Employee Plan is a
           "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 4001 of ERISA), and
           Company has never contributed nor been obligated to contribute to any
           such multiemployer plan.

                      3.14.(b) Title IV of ERISA. Company does not maintain or
           contribute to, and has never maintained or contributed to, a benefit
           plan that is or was subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of
           the Code.

           knowledge, there have been no "prohibited transactions" within the
           meaning of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
           for which a statutory or administrative exemption does not exist with
           respect to any Employee Plan and no event or omission has occurred to
           Company's knowledge in connection with which Company or any of its
           assets or any Employee Plan, directly or indirectly, could be subject
           to any liability under ERISA, the Code or any other Law or Order
           applicable to any Employee Plan, or under any agreement, instrument,
           Law or Order pursuant to or under which Company has agreed to
           indemnify or is required to indemnify any person against liability
           incurred under any such Law or Order.

                      3.14.(d) Full Funding. The funds available under each
           Employee Plan which is intended to be a funded plan equal or exceed
           the amounts required to be paid, or which would be required to be
           paid if such Employee Plan were terminated, on account of rights
           vested or accrued as of the Closing Date (using the actuarial methods
           and assumptions then used by Company's actuaries in connection with
           the funding of such Employee Plan).

                      3.14.(e) Controlled Group; Affiliated Service Group;
           Leased Employees. Company is not and never has been a member of a
           "controlled group" of corporations as defined in Section 414(b) of
           the Code or in common control with any unincorporated trade or
           business as determined under Section 414(c) of the Code. Company is
           not and never has been a member of an "affiliated service group"
           within the meaning of Section 414(m) of the Code.

                      3.14.(f) Payments and Compliance. Except as disclosed on
           Schedule 3.14(f), with respect to each Employee Plan, (i) all

           been paid have been properly recorded on the books of Company and are

           the ordinary course of business since December 31, 1998; (ii) Company
           has complied with, and each such Employee Plan conforms in form and

           reports and information relating to such Employee Plan required to be
           filed with any governmental entity have been timely filed; (iii) no

           Company Employee to any liability (including, but not limited to, an
           excise tax) under ERISA or the Code; (iv) all material reports and
           information relating to each such Employee Plan required to be
           disclosed or provided by Company to participants or their
           beneficiaries are accurate in all material respects and have been
           timely disclosed or provided by Company; (v) each such Employee Plan
           which is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code has
           received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
           Service with respect to such qualification, its related trust has
           been determined to be exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of
           the Code, and nothing has occurred since the date of such letter that
           has or is likely to adversely affect such qualification or exemption;
           (vi) there are no actions, suits or claims pending (other than

                                       15
<PAGE>   50
           routine claims for benefits) or threatened with respect to such
           Employee Plan or against the assets of such Employee Plan; and (vii)
           no Employee Plan is a plan which is established and maintained
           outside the United States primarily for the benefit of individuals

           accrued as liabilities on the books of Company (including the Recent
           Balance Sheet), (iv) disability benefits under any Employee Plan that
           is an employee welfare benefit plan and which have been fully
           provided for by insurance or otherwise or (v) benefits in the nature
           of severance pay.

                      3.14.(h) No Triggering of Obligations. Except as set forth
           on Schedule 3.14(h), the consummation of the transactions

referenced in Section 5.4, the managerial employees of Company (including,
without limitation, Shareholders) and those agents and representatives of
Company who have devoted substantive attention to those matters which are the
subject of particular inquiries have endeavored to provide responsive
information which is accurate and complete in all material respects, to the best
of the actual knowledge of those managerial employees (including, without
limitation, Shareholders), agents and representatives providing such responsive
information. Furthermore, to the best of the actual knowledge of those
managerial employees (including, without limitation, Shareholders), agents and
representatives providing such responsive information, no such responsive
information omits to state a material fact necessary to make such responsive
information, in light of the circumstances in which it was provided, not
misleading.

           5.1. Corporate.

                      5.1.(a) Organization. Newco is a corporation duly
           organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of
           Wisconsin. Insilco is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
           and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

                      5.1.(b) Corporate Power. Insilco and Newco have all
           requisite corporate power to enter into this Agreement and the other
           documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by Insilco and
           Newco and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and
           thereby.

           5.2. Authority. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by Insilco and
Newco pursuant hereto and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action
on the part of Insilco and Newco. No other corporate act or proceeding on the
part of Insilco, Newco or their shareholders is necessary to authorize this
Agreement or the other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by
Insilco and Newco pursuant hereto or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement constitutes and, when executed
and delivered, the other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered
by Insilco and Newco pursuant hereto will constitute, valid and binding
agreements of Insilco and Newco, enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms.

           5.3. No Violation. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.3, neither the

thereby (a) will violate any applicable Law or Order, (b) except for applicable
requirements of the HSR Act, will require any authorization, consent, approval,
exemption or other action by or notice to

<PAGE>   55
any Government Entity (including, without limitation, under any "plant-closing"
or similar law), or (c) subject to obtaining the consents referred to in
Schedule 5.3, will violate or conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default)
under, or will result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance
required by, or result in the creation of any Lien, upon any of the assets of
Insilco or Newco under, any term or provision of the articles of incorporation
or by-laws of Insilco or Newco or of any contract, commitment, understanding,
arrangement, agreement or restriction of any kind or character to which Insilco
or Newco is a party or by which Insilco or Newco or any of its assets or
properties may be bound or affected.

employees of Company concerning the business activities and assets of Company
and to obtain information which Insilco deems necessary or advisable in order to
evaluate the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Insilco has made its own independent investigation of Company, and is

ending June 30, 1999 (the "Interim Statements") in accordance with Securities
and Exchange Commission requirements and at reasonable expense or (b) delivering

6. COVENANTS

           6.1. Consulting Agreements. Newco and Shareholders shall deliver to
each other at Closing a Consulting Agreement, substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto, duly executed by Royse Myers, and a Consulting Agreement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, duly executed by Barbara Myers
(together, the "Consulting Agreements").

           6.2. Noncompetition; Confidentiality. Subject to the Closing, and as
an inducement to Insilco and Newco to execute this Agreement and complete the
transactions contemplated hereby, and in order to preserve the goodwill
associated with the business of Company being acquired pursuant to this
Agreement, each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

                      6.2.(a) Covenant Not to Compete. For a period of five (5)
           years from the Closing Date, neither Shareholder will directly or
           indirectly:

                      6.2.(a)(i) engage in, continue in or carry on any business
           which competes with the Business or is substantially similar thereto,
           including owning or controlling any financial interest in any
           corporation, partnership, firm or other form of business organization
           which is so engaged;

                      6.2.(a)(ii) consult with, advise or assist, whether or not
           for consideration, any corporation, partnership, firm or other
           business organization which is now or becomes a competitor of
           Company, Insilco or Surviving Corporation in any aspect with respect
           to the Business, including, but not limited to, advertising or
           otherwise endorsing the products of any such competitor; soliciting
           customers or otherwise serving as an intermediary for any such
           competitor; loaning

                                       21
<PAGE>   56
           money or rendering any other form of financial assistance to or
           engaging in any form of business transaction on other than an arm's
           length basis with any such competitor;

                      6.2.(a)(iii) solicit for employment, offer employment to
           or employ an employee of Company or Surviving Corporation, or a
           former employee of Company or Surviving Corporation, whose employment
           with Company or Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, terminated
           less than six (6) months before such solicitation, offer or
           employment, without the prior written consent of Insilco; or

                      6.2.(a)(iv) engage in any practice the intended purpose of
           which is to evade the provisions of this covenant not to compete;

           provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the
           ownership of securities of corporations which are listed on a
           national securities exchange or traded in the national
           over-the-counter market in an amount which shall not exceed 5% of the
           outstanding shares of any such corporation. The parties agree that
           the geographic scope of this covenant not to compete shall extend to
           North America. The parties agree that Surviving Corporation may sell,
           assign or otherwise transfer this covenant not to compete, in whole
           or in part, to any person, corporation, firm or entity that purchases
           all or part of the business of Company. In the event a court of
           competent jurisdiction determines that the provisions of this
           covenant not to compete are excessively broad as to duration,
           geographical scope or activity, it is expressly agreed that this
           covenant not to compete shall be construed so that the remaining
           provisions shall not be affected, but shall remain in full force and
           effect, and any such overbroad provisions shall be deemed, without
           further action on the part of any person, to be modified, amended
           and/or limited, but only to the extent necessary to render the same
           valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction.

                      6.2.(b) Covenant of Confidentiality. Neither Shareholder
           shall at any time subsequent to the Closing, use for any purpose,
           disclose to any person, or keep or make copies of documents, tapes,
           discs, programs or other information storage media ("records")
           containing, any confidential information concerning the Business, all
           such information being deemed to be transferred to Surviving
           Corporation hereunder, except (i) as requested or permitted by
           Insilco, (ii) as may be required in connection with any obligation
           Shareholders may have subsequent to the Closing to file returns or
           reports with, or maintain certain records required by, any
           Governmental Entity, (iii) for this Agreement and any and all
           schedules and exhibits attached hereto and any and all documents and
           instruments contemplated hereby, which may be disclosed and/or used
           for reasonable purposes only, (iv) for any and all work product and
           documentation relating to the negotiation and drafting of this
           Agreement and the other documents and instruments contemplated
           hereby, which may be disclosed and/or used for reasonable purposes
           only, (v) any information distributed to all shareholders of Company
           in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
           and (vi) as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the
           discussions, negotiation, mediation, arbitration or litigation of any
           dispute arising under this Agreement. For purposes hereof,
           "confidential information" shall mean and include, without
           limitation, all Trade Rights in which Company has an interest, all
           customer and vendor lists and related information, all information
           concerning Company's processes, products, costs, prices, sales,
           marketing and distribution methods, properties and assets,
           liabilities, finances, employees, all privileged communications and
           work product, and any other information not previously disclosed to
           the public directly by Company. The term "confidential information"
           does not include information which (A) is or becomes generally
           available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by
           Shareholders; or (B) is required by law to be disclosed or is
           requested by any Governmental Entity, provided that Shareholders
           shall provide at least five (5) days notice to Insilco prior to such
           disclosure. If at any time after Closing either Shareholder should
           discover that he or she is in

                                       22
<PAGE>   57
           possession of any records containing the confidential information of
           Company, the retention of which is not permitted hereunder, then the
           party making such discovery shall immediately turn such records over
           to Surviving Corporation. Each Shareholder severally agrees that he
           and/or she will not assert a waiver or loss of confidential or
           privileged status of the information based upon such possession or
           discovery. Company hereby consents to Insilco's consultation with
           legal, accounting and other professional advisors to Company
           concerning advice rendered to Company prior to the Closing regarding
           the Business, excluding, however, the negotiation and drafting of
           this Agreement and the transactions entered into pursuant hereto.

                      6.2.(c) Equitable Relief for Violations. Each Shareholder
           agrees that the provisions and restrictions contained in this Section
           6.2 are necessary to protect the legitimate continuing interests of
           Insilco, and that any violation or breach of these provisions will
           result in irreparable injury to Insilco for which a remedy at law
           would be inadequate and that, in addition to any relief at law which
           may be available to Insilco, Newco or Surviving Corporation for such
           violation or breach and regardless of any other provision contained
           in this Agreement, Insilco, Newco and Surviving Corporation shall be
           entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief as a court may
           grant after considering the intent of this Section 6.2.

           6.3. HSR Act Filings. As soon as is practicable following the date
hereof, each party shall, in cooperation with the other parties, file or cause
to be filed any reports or notifications that may be required to be filed by it
under the HSR Act with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division
of the Department of Justice (requesting early termination of applicable waiting
periods), and shall furnish to the others all such information in its possession
as may be necessary for the completion of the reports or notifications to be
filed by the other. Prior to making any communication, written or oral, with the
Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the federal Department of
Justice or any other governmental agency or authority or members of their
respective staffs with respect to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, Company shall consult with Insilco and Newco, and Insilco
and Newco shall consult with Company.

           6.4. Access to Information and Records. During the period prior to
the Closing, Company and Shareholders shall give Insilco, Newco, their counsel,
accountants and other representatives (a) access, during normal business hours
and in a manner that is not unduly disruptive to Company's business, to all of
the properties, books, records, contracts and documents of Company for the
purpose of such inspection, investigation and testing as Insilco and Newco
reasonably deem appropriate (and Company shall make available to Insilco and
Newco and their representatives all information with respect to the business and
affairs of Company as Insilco or Newco may reasonably request); (b) access to
employees, agents and representatives for the purposes of such meetings and
communications as Insilco or Newco reasonably desires; and (c) with the prior
consent of Company in each instance (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), access to vendors, customers, lenders, and others having business
dealings with Company.

           6.5. Conduct of Business Pending the Closing. From the date hereof
until the Closing, except as otherwise approved in writing by Newco or
contemplated by this Agreement, (a) Company covenants to comply with the
following; and (b) Shareholders jointly and severally agree to comply with
Section 6.5.(i) and Section 6.5.(j):

                      6.5.(a) No Changes. Company will carry on its business in
           the same manner as heretofore and will not make or institute any

           reasonable efforts to maintain, preserve, renew and keep in favor and
           effect the existence, rights and franchises of Company and will use
           all reasonable efforts to preserve the business organization of
           Company intact, to keep available to Company the present officers and
           employees, and to preserve for Company its present relationships with
           suppliers and customers and others having business relationships with
           Company.

                      6.5.(c) No Breach. Company will not knowingly do or omit
           any act that will cause a breach of any material contract, commitment
           or obligation, or any breach of any representation, warranty,
           covenant or agreement made by Company herein, or which would have
           required disclosure on Schedule 3.6 had it occurred after the date of
           the Recent Balance Sheet and prior to the date of this Agreement.

                      6.5.(d) No Material Contracts. No contract or commitment
           will be entered into by or on behalf of Company, except contracts or
           commitments which are in the ordinary course of business and
           consistent with past practice, are not material to Company
           (individually or in the aggregate) and would not have been required
           to be disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule had they been in existence
           on the date of this Agreement.

                      6.5.(e) No Corporate Changes. Company shall not amend its
           Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws or make any changes in

           ordinary course of business, and Company shall immediately advise
           Newco of the receipt of any written acquisition proposal received
           after the date hereof.

                      6.5.(j) Restricted Shareholder Actions. No Shareholder

           6.9. Audit. Company shall, and Shareholders shall cause Company to,

its obligations under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have
resulted in, such Litigation or investigation.

           7.4. Consents and Approvals. All material approvals, consents and
waivers that are required to effect the transactions contemplated hereby shall

and Newco. The fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be shared equally by
Company and Insilco. Company, Insilco and Newco shall make readily available to
the CPA Firm all relevant books and records and any work papers and all other

determined that a balance sheet of Company as of the Effective Time would not
reflect any change from the Recent Balance Sheet constituting a Material Adverse
Effect; provided, however, that any determination by Insilco under

           conditions of this Article 9, each Shareholder, jointly and
           severally, hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
           Insilco, Newco, their directors, officers, employees and controlled
           and controlling persons (hereinafter "Insilco's Affiliates") and
           Surviving Corporation from and against all Claims asserted against,
           resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by Insilco, Insilco's
           Affiliates or Surviving Corporation, directly or indirectly, by
           reason of, arising out of or resulting from: (i) the inaccuracy or
           breach of any representation or warranty of any Shareholder contained
           in or made pursuant to Article 4; and (ii) the breach of any covenant
           of any Shareholder contained in Section 6.2. As used in this Article
           9, the term "Claim" shall mean all debts, liabilities, obligations,
           losses, damages, judgments, awards, settlements, costs and expenses
           (including, without limitation, interest (including prejudgment
           interest in any litigated matter), penalties, and reasonable
           attorneys fees and expenses), demands, claims, suits, actions,
           reasonable costs of investigation, causes of action, proceedings and
           assessments.

                      9.1.(b) Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding
           Section 9.1.(a), no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
           indemnification under Section 9.1.(a): (i) so as to allow more than
           one recovery for any single Claim even though such Claim may have
           resulted from the breach or inaccuracy of more than one of the
           representations and warranties made by Shareholders in or pursuant to
           this Agreement; (ii) with respect to any Claim arising out of a
           claimed breach of the representations and warranties made by
           Shareholders in Section 4.4, unless the Indemnified Party has given
           written notice of such Claim to Shareholders, setting forth in
           reasonable detail the facts and circumstances pertaining thereto,
           prior to the expiration of the first anniversary of the Closing;
           (iii) if the facts surrounding the claimed breach of a representation
           or warranty that is the basis for the Claim were (A) within the
           actual knowledge of those managerial employees, agents and
           representatives of Insilco who devoted substantive attention to those
           matters that are the subject of such representation and warranty, or
           (B) contained in written reports prepared for, or delivered to, any
           such person by or on behalf of Insilco or Newco to communicate
           results of Insilco's and Newco's due diligence investigation of
           Company, in either case if such facts were not disclosed to the
           Indemnifying Party by such Indemnified Party prior to the Closing;
           (iv) with respect to any Claim arising out of a claimed breach of the
           representations and warranties made by Shareholders in Section 4.4,
           to the extent of any amounts actually and irrevocably recovered by
           the Indemnified Party with respect to the matter for which the
           Indemnified Party is being indemnified under (A) insurance polices of
           Company in effect as of the date hereof that reduce a Claim that
           would otherwise be sustained or (B) other insurance policies for the
           benefit of the Indemnified Party that reduce a Claim that would
           otherwise be sustained but, in the case of this clause (B), (1) net
           of any increase that will occur, or is reasonably likely to occur, in
           insurance premiums payable by the Indemnified Party, whether by
           retrospective or retroactive premium adjustments or any other premium
           increase under the policy or policies under which the claim is made
           or any other policy, where the increase results directly from filing
           the claim and (2) less, dollar for dollar, the amount by which the
           claim when filed or at any time during the applicable policy period,
           either singly or in the aggregate with all other claims made under
           applicable policy or policies, exceeds a policy coverage limit;
           provided, however, that this clause (iv) shall apply only if this
           provision does not constitute an improper waiver of the insurer's
           rights of subrogation against the Indemnified Party; (v) with respect
           to any Claim arising out of a claimed breach of the representation
           and warranty made by Shareholders in Section 4.4, for any Claims as
           to which any Indemnified Party otherwise may be entitled to indemnity
           hereunder until such Claims, in the aggregate, exceed $250,000,
           provided that (A) in such event, the Indemnified Party shall be
           entitled to indemnification in full for all such Claims and (B) for
           purposes of determining the existence of any breach of any
           representation or warranty made by Shareholders hereunder, or the
           amount of Claims with respect

                                       30
<PAGE>   65
           thereto, there shall be ignored any "materiality" or similar
           qualifier associated with such representation or warranty; and (vi)
           to the extent any Claims, either individually or in the aggregate,
           exceed that portion of the Purchase Price received by Shareholders.
           Notwithstanding the foregoing, Newco shall not have any obligation or
           liability to pay for the maintenance of coverage for Newco or Company
           under any policies of insurance after the Closing or to name
           Shareholders as additional insureds or to obtain approval for any
           waiver of rights of subrogation.

                      9.1.(c) Exclusive Remedy. Except for any remedy for fraud
           and for the availability of equitable relief as provided for in
           Section 6.2.(c) after the Closing: (i) indemnification pursuant to
           this Section 9.1 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Insilco,
           Newco, Insilco's Affiliates or Surviving Corporation for any matter
           arising out of or related to this Agreement and the transactions
           contemplated hereby, including but not limited to any breach or
           inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by
           Shareholders under Article 4, any breach of a covenant made by
           Shareholders under Section 6.2, or any claimed deficiency in the
           disclosures made in connection with this Agreement or Insilco's
           independent investigation referenced in Section 5.4; and (ii) Insilco
           and Newco each waives, releases, discharges, and shall not make or
           assert, and agrees that neither Insilco's Affiliates nor Surviving
           Corporation will make or assert, against Shareholders, any claim
           (whether characterized as a claim based upon contract, tort,
           misrepresentation, statute, common law, or otherwise) for any remedy
           other than for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1.

           9.2. By Insilco and/or Newco.

                      9.2.(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this

           and shareholders of Company, including but not limited to
           Shareholders, from and against all Claims asserted against, resulting
           to, imposed upon, or incurred by any of such persons, directly or
           indirectly, by reason of, arising out of or resulting from: (i) the
           inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Insilco and
           Newco contained in or made pursuant to Article 5; (ii) failure of
           Insilco or Newco to carry out any of their respective obligations
           under the Agreement; (iii) the assertion of any Claim by Insilco,
           Newco, Insilco's Affiliates or the Surviving Corporation against
           Shareholders other than as specifically provided for in this
           Agreement; (iv) the imposition of taxes of any kind or nature upon
           the Company and/or Newco by reason of the transactions contemplated
           by this Agreement; (v) the operations of the Business and the
           ownership of the assets associated with the Business from and after
           the Closing Date, other than any Claim for which Insilco, Newco,

           indemnified pursuant Section 9.1(a); and (vi) the liabilities of
           Company specifically reflected on the Recent Balance Sheet or

                      9.2.(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.2.(a), no Indemnified
           Party shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.2.(a) so
           as to allow more than one recovery for any single Claim even though
           such Claim may have resulted from the breach or inaccuracy of more
           than one of the representations and warranties made by Insilco or
           Newco, as applicable, in or pursuant to this Agreement.

                      9.2.(c) Exclusive Remedy. Except for any remedy for fraud,
           (i) indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be the sole
           and exclusive remedy of shareholders of Company, including
           Shareholders, for any matter arising out of or related to this
           Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including but not
           limited to any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations and

           claim (whether characterized as a claim based upon contract, tort,
           misrepresentation, statute, common law, or otherwise) for any remedy
           other than for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2.

           9.3. Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

           The obligations and liabilities of any party to indemnify any other
under this Article 9 with respect to Claims relating to third parties shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions:

                      9.3.(a) Notice and Defense. The party or parties to be
           indemnified (whether one or more, the "Indemnified Party") will
           promptly give the party from whom indemnification is sought (the
           "Indemnifying Party") written notice of any such Claim, and the
           Indemnifying Party will undertake the defense thereof by
           representatives chosen by it. Failure to give such notice shall not
           affect the Indemnifying Party's duty or obligations under this
           Article 9, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced
           thereby. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending any such
           Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not
           settle such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the
           Indemnifying Party or its representatives all records and other
           materials required by them and in the possession or under the control
           of the Indemnified Party, for the use of the Indemnifying Party and
           its representatives in defending any such Claim, and shall in other
           respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

                      9.3.(b) Failure to Defend. If the Indemnifying Party,
           within a reasonable time after notice of any such Claim, fails to
           defend such Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party
           will (upon further notice) have the right to undertake the defense,
           compromise or settlement of such Claim or consent to the entry of a
           judgment with respect to such Claim, on behalf of and for the account
           and risk of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall

           reasonable probability that a Claim may materially and adversely
           affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages
           or other money payments, then, without prejudice to the Indemnifying
           Party's right to challenge the Indemnified Party's defense,
           compromise, settlement or consent to judgment, the Indemnified Party
           shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such Claim, and

           the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to

           term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the
           Indemnified Party of a release from all Liability in respect of such
           Claim No third party Claim shall be settled or compromised without
           the prior consent of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
           Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
           If (i) a firm written offer is made to settle any third party Claim
           by the party asserting the Claim or if the party asserting the Claim
           and the Indemnifying Party have agreed on a settlement of such Claim;
           (ii) such third party Claim will not result in either (A) the
           Indemnified Party paying monetary damages other than to the extent
           required by this Agreement or (B) any effect on the Indemnified Party
           other than the payment of monetary damages; and (iii) the Indemnified
           Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then the Indemnifying
           Party shall be excused from, and the Indemnified Party shall be
           solely responsible for, all further defense of such Claim and the
           maximum amount of liability of the Indemnifying Party relating to
           such Claim shall be the amount of the proposed settlement or
           compromise, if the amount recovered pursuant to such Claim is greater
           than the amount of the proposed settlement or compromise.

be paid by it, the amount so determined by judgment, determination, settlement
or compromise and all other Claims of the Indemnified Party with respect
thereto, unless in the case of a judgment an appeal is made from the judgment.

Indemnifying Party shall post and pay the cost of the security or bond to stay
execution of the judgment pending appeal. Upon the payment in full by the
Indemnifying Party of such amounts, the Indemnifying Party shall succeed to the
rights of such Indemnified Party, to the extent not waived in settlement,
against the third party who made such third party Claim.

           not have occurred on or before July 31, 1999, provided the
           terminating party (including, if the terminating party is Company,
           Shareholders) has not, through breach of a representation, warranty
           or covenant, prevented the Closing from occurring on or before such
           date.

           11.2 Termination for Breach.

                      11.2.(a) Termination by Newco. If (i) an event has
           occurred such that a condition to the obligations of Insilco or Newco
           cannot be satisfied or (ii) Company or Shareholders shall have
           attempted to terminate this Agreement under this Article 11 or
           otherwise without grounds to do so, and such failure or wrongful
           termination attempt has not been cured, within ten (10) days after
           notice thereof is given to Company and Shareholders, then Newco may,
           by written notice to

                                       35
<PAGE>   70
           Company and Shareholders at any time prior to the Closing that such
           failure or wrongful termination attempt is continuing, terminate this
           Agreement with the effect set forth in Section 11.2.(c).
           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Insilco or Newco has breached a
           representation, warranty or covenant in any material respect, then
           Newco may not terminate this Agreement on the basis of such breach.

                      11.2.(b) Termination by Company or Shareholders. If (i) an
           event has occurred such that a condition to the obligations of

           11 or otherwise without grounds to do so, and such failure or
           wrongful termination attempt has not been cured, within ten (10) days
           after notice thereof is given to Newco, then Company or Shareholders
           may, by written notice to Newco at any time prior to the Closing that
           such failure or wrongful termination attempt is continuing, terminate

           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company or Shareholders have
           breached a representation, warranty or covenant in any material
           respect, then neither Company nor Shareholders may terminate this
           Agreement on the basis of such breach.

                      11.2.(c) Effect of Termination. Termination of this
           Agreement pursuant to Article 11 shall not in any way terminate,
           limit or restrict the rights and remedies of any party hereto against
           any other party that has violated, breached or failed to satisfy any
           of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, conditions
           or other provisions of this Agreement prior to termination hereof. In
           addition to the right of any party under common law to redress for
           any such breach or violation, each party whose breach or violation
           has occurred prior to termination shall jointly and severally
           indemnify each other party for whose benefit such representation,
           warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision was made
           ("indemnified party") from and against all losses, damages, costs and
           expenses (including, without limitation, interest (including
           prejudgment interest in any litigated matter), penalties, court
           costs, and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) asserted against,
           resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by the indemnified party,
           directly or indirectly, by reason of, arising out of or resulting
           from such breach or violation. Subject to the foregoing, the parties'
           obligations under Section 12.7 shall survive termination.

to other Schedules or sections of this Agreement is reasonably apparent.

                 INSILCO HOLDING CO. COMPLETES MERGER AGREEMENT
                              WITH THERMAL TRANSFER

     COLUMBUS, OHIO, JULY 20, 1999 - INSILCO HOLDING CO. (OTC BULLETIN BOARD:
INSL) today announced that it completed the previously announced merger with
Racine, Wisconsin-based Thermal Transfer Products, Ltd. Thermal Transfer is a
leading manufacturer of industrial oil coolers and other heat exchanger
products, and generated approximately $28 million of revenues in 1998. Financial
terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

     David A. Kauer, Insilco President and CEO, said "We are pleased to have
completed this merger as planned. We see numerous opportunities to broaden our
product offerings in the industrial market and we also look forward to the
benefits we will gain by accessing Thermal Transfer's strong distributor
network."

     The statements made in this press release that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements, including statements with respect to the Company's

Transfer's distributor network, and the Company's ability to diversify revenues

and uncertainties. It is important to note that results could differ materially
from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Factors which could
cause results to differ materially include, but are not limited to the
following: delays in new product introductions, difficulties in combining
acquired operations with existing operations, lack of market acceptance for new
products, changes in demand for the Company's products, changes in market
trends, general competitive pressures from existing and new competitors, adverse
changes in operating performance, changes in interest rates, and adverse
economic conditions which could affect the amount of cash available for debt
servicing and capital investments. Further information concerning factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements are contained from time to time in the Company's SEC
filings, including but not limited to the Company's report on Form 10-K/A for

               INSILCO HOLDING CO. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

         COLUMBUS, OHIO, AUGUST 5, 1999 - INSILCO HOLDING CO. (OTC BULLETIN
BOARD: INSL) today reported sales and operating results for its second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1999.

         Sales were up 5% to $178.4 million for the 1999 second quarter,
compared to $170.0 million recorded in the year ago second quarter. For the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, sales were $305.3 million and $287.3
million, respectively.

         The Company reported EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization, other income, one-time charges and restructuring
charges, plus cash dividends received from Thermalex, the Company's 50% owned
joint venture, "EBITDA") of $23.8 million for the 1999 second quarter, compared
to $23.0 million recorded in the 1998 second quarter. For the first six months
of 1999, EBITDA was $40.2 million, compared to $38.9 million recorded in the
first six months of 1998.

         The Company also reported a net loss of ($5.2) million for the 1999
second quarter compared to net income of $4.4 million for the 1998 second
quarter. For the six months of 1999, the Company reported a net loss of ($6.1)
million, compared to net income of $7.2 million recorded in the first six months
of 1998. The decrease in net income for the first six months of 1999 resulted
principally from increased interest expense of $9.8 million as a result of the
third quarter 1998 recapitalization and merger and second quarter 1999 charges
of $8.8 million related to the corporate office restructuring and the previously
announced closure of the Company's McKenica division. Net cash charges resulting
from these restructuring items were approximately $2.0 million.

BUSINESS DISCUSSION

         The Company's Automotive Components Group reported 3% sales growth in
the 1999 second quarter to $56.2 million, from $54.4 million reported in the
year earlier second quarter. EBITDA for the Group was $8.2 million and $8.7
million for the second quarters of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Quarterly
results reflected higher sales of specialty heat exchangers, aluminum tubing and
transmission components. However, continued weak demand for industrial radiators
and aftermarket heat exchanger tubing resulted in lower EBITDA for the Group.

<PAGE>   83
         The Company's Technologies Group reported 14% sales growth in the 1999
second quarter to $55.8 million compared to $48.8 million recorded in the 1998
second quarter. Second quarter 1999 sales included $10.4 million from the
Company's EFI and European cable assembly acquisitions which were completed
after the second quarter of 1998. EBITDA for the Technologies Group was $7.2
million in the 1999 second quarter, compared to $7.9 million recorded in the
1998 second quarter. Excluding the impact of the acquisitions, second quarter
revenues were lower than the previous year, reflecting continuing weak demand
from the electronics market and certain telecommunications customers. Despite
the lower sales in the quarter, the Company indicated it was seeing encouraging
signs of improving demand in its markets for the second half of the year,
particularly for cable assemblies and power transformers.

         Sales at Taylor Publishing were $59.6 million in the 1999 second
quarter, compared to $59.5 million recorded in the year ago second quarter. For
its seasonally important second quarter, Taylor's EBITDA increased over 30% to
$9.9 million, compared to EBITDA of $7.5 million in the year ago second quarter,
reflecting improved operating performance.

CEO COMMENTS

         David A. Kauer, Insilco President and CEO, said, "We were very pleased
with the substantial operating earnings improvement at Taylor Publishing, during
its important peak yearbook season. The process improvements implemented over
the past year by Taylor's new management team resulted in significantly improved
on-time delivery performance, increased productivity and lower costs."

         Kauer continued, "While specialty heat exchangers and worldwide tubing
sales were higher in the second quarter, sales of higher margin industrial
radiators and related components remained soft. In the Technologies Group,
market conditions, including customer inventory corrections and continued
pricing pressures, negatively impacted performance. We are, however, beginning
to see improvement in the level of quote and orders activity across our product
lines in this segment, and in the industrial radiator market as well."

         Kauer concluded, "We continued to make progress during the second
quarter in achieving our goal of significantly reducing operating expenses
during 1999, as evidenced by our announcement late in the quarter regarding the
restructuring of our corporate staff, which is expected to generate
approximately $3.5 million in annualized savings. We continue to rationalize our
manufacturing facilities to better utilize low cost facilities and to
consolidate facilities where practical. In addition, as part of our EFI
integration, we have removed $1.5 million in annualized cost and have
consolidated our two precision stamping operations in El Paso, Texas. We also
continue to explore potential divestitures of business units that do not meet
our long-term strategic goals."

         Insilco Holding Co., based in suburban Columbus, Ohio, is a diversified
manufacturer of industrial components and a supplier of specialty publications.
The Company's industrial business units serve the automotive, electronics,
telecommunications and other industrial markets, and its publishing business

$535 million.

certain risks and uncertainties, including statements with respect to the
Company's long-term outlook; growth prospects; slowdown in the electronics

results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking
