Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB 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 six-month period ended February 27,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended August 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 1999. Certain prior
year amounts may have been reclassified to conform with the 2000 presentation.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated sales for the second quarter ended February 27, 2000 were
$5,378,567, a decrease of 1.3% when compared with prior year second quarter
sales. The decrease in comparative second quarter sales is due to a slight
decline in sales at Glassmaster Controls, primarily due to product mix changes
related to the introduction of new truck models at its largest customer. Second
quarter sales at the Monofilament Division were higher compared with the prior
year period but were offset by a decline in sales at Composites, leading to
relatively unchanged sales in the industrial products segment. On a comparative
year to date basis, controls and electronics segment sales have declined 8% in
the first six months of the 2000 fiscal year versus last year, while industrial
products segment sales have declined 10.4%. The decrease in sales of controls
and electronics is due to truck model changes and production slowdowns at its
largest customer. New production contracts on existing and new products will
initiate during the second half of the fiscal year and solid sales growth at
Controls is expected. Industrial products segment sales are lower due to
difficult market conditions in the North American textile industry that impacted
monofilament sales, and a decrease in sales of composites due to discontinued
product lines and the sale of the marine antenna business. As the second quarter
came to a close, order patterns for monofilament products had significantly
improved and, combined with new product revenue, the remainder of the fiscal
year should reflect positive sales growth at Monofilament when compared with the
prior year periods.
Gross profit margins during the second quarter declined to 11.5% of
sales from 13.7% of sales in the year ago second quarter primarily due to lower
sales levels at Composites. Year-to-date profit margins as a percent of sales
are relatively unchanged from the prior year to date period at 11.5% of sales.
Gross margins are expected to improve as the fiscal year progresses in
association with anticipated sales growth.

<PAGE> 7
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis (Cont'd)
Selling, G&A, and Other Expenses totaled $650,880, or 12.1% of sales,
during this year's second quarter, compared with $744,059, or 13.7% of sales,
during the prior year second quarter. The decline is due primarily to
non-recurring credits and miscellaneous income at Controls. On a year to date
basis, these expenses total $1.33 million, or 13.7% of sales, compared with
$1.49 million, or 13.9% of sales last year. Interest expense has increased
approximately 9% for both the second quarter and year to date periods when
compared with the prior year due to higher average borrowings required to
support working capital and slightly higher average interest rates on short term
borrowings.
Income (Loss) before income taxes was ($213,599) during the current
year second quarter compared with ($164,662) in the year ago quarter and totals
($576,934) year to date versus ($577,312) last year. The provision (benefit) for
income taxes was ($1,400) in the second quarter and ($124,787) year to date,
compared with ($59,656) and ($196,286), respectively, last year. While last
year's second quarter included a benefit from income taxes associated with net
operating loss carry-forwards, this year's second quarter does not recognize the
tax benefit to be derived from the operating losses incurred.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flows from operating activities were ($629,000) for the six-month
period ended February 27, 2000 compared with ($539,000) during the comparable
period of the prior fiscal year. The decline in cash provided from operating
activities is primarily due to increased accounts receivable outstanding,
resulting from increased sales activity near the end of this year's second
quarter. The large increase in accounts receivable this year was partially
offset by an increase in outstanding trade credit.
Cash used by investing activities so far this year totals $150,000,
compared with $347,000 during last year's comparable six-month period. The
decline in cash used by investing activities is due to a reduced investment in
fixed assets this year compared with the prior year period, the result of less
equipment and tooling spending at Controls and Composites.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $738,000 during this
year's first six months compared with $853,000 in the prior year period.
Additional long-term debt at Controls associated with capital equipment acquired
to expand electronics production capabilities and to re-finance existing
long-term mortgage debt that was maturing, was more than offset by a smaller
increase in borrowings under the company's short term revolving lines of credit
this year when compared to the prior year period. Approximately $400,000
additional long-term funding remains available under the terms of the financing
agreement and Glassmaster Controls Company intends to borrow the balance of the
committed funds during the remainder of the 2000 fiscal year to fund additional
capital equipment. The Monofilament Division currently plans to invest
approximately $200,000 to acquire equipment necessary to complete the assembly
and installation of a $450,000 extrusion line. This capital addition was
initiated in 1998 and approximately $250,000 of equipment was acquired, but
completion of the project was delayed when market conditions deteriorated.
Recently accelerating demand for existing monofilament products, as well as
capacity requirements related to new product sales growth and related production
commitments, led to the decision to complete the addition. The company currently
intends to seek medium-term lease financing to fund the entire capital project.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis (Cont'd)
Other than previously discussed, no new material capital expenditures
are planned and the company currently anticipates that its cash requirements
during the remainder of the 2000 fiscal year will be provided from operations
and from borrowings under existing and committed credit lines.
YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE
As more fully discussed in previous filings, the company's Year 2000
Compliance Plan ("the Plan") was initiated in early 1998 and involved three
phases 1) The Internal Assessment Phase, 2) The Vendor Assessment Phase, and 3)
the Upgrade Implementation and Testing Phase. The Plan was intended to mitigate
all known deficiencies in both internal and external information technology
("IT") systems related to the Year 2000 issue and provide for contingency plans
in the event of Year 2000 failures. The company completed enterprise-wide
testing of critical systems, the final phase of the Plan, during December, 1999.
As of the date of this report, there have been no recognizable failures
of any internal information systems or computer controlled processes, nor have
any disruptions in normal operations occurred as a result of any external agent
year 2000 related failures. The company intends to continue to monitor all
internal and external IT systems and processes during the year 2000 for any
indication of failures.
