PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Registrant (also referred to as "EAC" or "the Company") was organized in
1958 as a New York corporation. The common stock of the Company is currently
traded on the over-the-counter market and the principal market makers are Bishop
Rosen & Company and Troster, Singer Corporation.
The Company currently has one operating subsidiary, Flexible Printed Products,
Inc. ("Flexible"). The business and certain of the assets of Flexible were
acquired on December 11, 1994. Flexible produces and prints on plastic, pre-cure
in-mold heat transfer labels for the identification and decoration of rubber and
silicone hoses, belts and tire patches. Flexible's sales were backlogged at
approximately $60,000 at January 31, 1999 and $75,000 at January 31, 1998.
Flexible believes that it can fulfill its 1999 backlog on a timely basis.
Flexible faces strong competition in its business and its competition has been
mainly on the basis of quality, service and price. Flexible employs 14 persons,
none of whom are represented by unions.
In June 1998, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets
of Goodren Label Corporation (formerly Athena Packaging Inc.). Goodren Label
Corporation ("Athena"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which was in
the business of producing printed, laminated, embossed and hot stamped labels,
wraps, seals and decals for the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and health and beauty
aids industries. The aggregate sales price of $277,000 including inventory
valued at the lower of cost or market. Simultaneously with the sale, the Company
entered into a consulting agreement, valued at $75,000, with the buyer which
terminated 180 days after the closing
On March 1, 1999, the Company completed the sale of the operating assets of
Goodren Products Corporation ("Goodren"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, for a price of $400,000 plus the assumption of all trade payable
liabilities. Goodren was in the business of designing and providing
point-of-purchase advertising displays and wall decorations on semi-durable
plastic.
Financial Condition of the Company
The Company's financial condition has declined from January 31, 1998. The
primary reasons for this decline were: (a) the decline in sales and gross profit
margins at Goodren and Flexible and (b) a moderate increase in the operating
overhead of the Company (EAC). The combination of the above factors has resulted
in the Company's working capital declining to $538,731 in 1999 from $755,321 in
1998. Current assets decreased to $935,125 in 1999 from $1,258,249 in 1998 and
current liabilities also decreased to $396,394 in 1999 from $502,928 in 1998.
Dues to the above factors, shareholders' equity decreased to $679,121 in 1999
from $818,132 in 1998.
In-Mold Heat Transfer Labels
Flexible produces and markets in-mold, pre-cure heat transfer labels to the
rubber and silicone industry primarily for identification and decoration of
hoses and belts. Other products include post cure heat transfer labels for
rubber patches, tires and other rubber and silicone products.
Flexible's products are sold nationwide primarily to rubber and silicone hose
and belt manufacturers, principally by its in-
-2-
<PAGE> 3
house sales personnel. The remainder is sold by a limited number of
manufacturers' representatives.
Management believes that the total in-mold decal/label market for decorating
rubber hoses and belts is approximately $10 million with Flexible's share
estimated at approximately 15%. The Company estimates that approximately five
companies compete directly with Flexible, including the parent company of one of
its customers. Flexible is a service business which competes on the basis of its
ability to produce and deliver high quality printing on short notice.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
Continuing Operations
In fiscal 1999, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of
$226,040 ($.08 per share) as compared to a net loss from continuing operations
of $696,885 ($.30 per share) in fiscal 1998. The loss for fiscal 1999 was
primarily due to lower sales and gross profit margins at Flexible. In addition,
during fiscal 1999, the Company experienced a slight increase of approximately
2% in its operating overhead. During the current year, the Company reflected a
write-down of its union liability (see discussion below and Note 11c of Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements). The decreased sales and gross profit,
increased overhead and the effect of the write-down, resulted in a pre-tax loss
of $226,040 for the current year compared to a loss of $179,591 sustained in the
previous year before accounting for discontinued operations. In 1998, the
Company reversed a deferred tax asset of $510,000 which it had recognized in
prior years, since it was determined that it was not likely that such asset will
be realized in the near future. This reversal resulted in a net loss from
continuing operations of $696,885 in 1998 compared to $226,040 in the current
year.
Discontinued Operations
In June 1998, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets
of Goodren Label Corporation (formerly Athena Packaging Inc.) for an aggregate
sales price of $277,000 including inventory valued at the lower of cost or
market. On March 1, 1999, the Company completed the sale of the operating assets
of Goodren Products Corporation ("Goodren") for a price of $400,000 plus the
assumption of all trade payable liabilities. See Note 2 of Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for a further description of these
transactions.
-4-
<PAGE> 5
For the fiscal 1999 year, these two discontinued subsidiaries reported a loss
from operations of $101,264 as compared to a loss in the prior year of $303,610.
The gain realized from the sale of the assets of Athena aggregated $87,274. The
results of the sale of Goodren's assets have not been recorded as of January 31,
1999 since this is a post-balance sheet event.
Net Loss
Consolidated net loss for the year ended January 31, 1999 was $240,030 ($.08 per
share) compared to a loss of $1,000,495 ($.43 per share) for the previous year.
Inflation
The Company expects inflation to be moderate and to be offset by cost reduction
programs and price increases.
Financial Resources and Liquidity
The Company's financial condition declined in 1999 from 1998. The Company had
working capital of $538,731 as of January 31, 1999 compared to $755,321 as of
January 31, 1998. The Company and its subsidiaries are current on all of their
accounts payable and accrued expenses.
In March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to make quarterly payments
of $7,548 against a union pension withdrawal liability/shortfall (see Note 11c
of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Subsequently, on September
30, 1996, the Company and Goodren entered into a Settlement Agreement with the
Trustees of the union pension plan whereby Goodren's pension fund liability was
reduced from $560,000 to $360,000 payable in 80 equal quarterly payments of
$8,752 including annual interest at a rate of 8%. The Company applied for a
hardship case pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, whereby the Company would
reduce its quarterly obligations to $3,000 until such time as the Company is out
of hardship. The hardship application and settlement was approved in December
1997. During the current fiscal year, the Company further reduced its liability
to approximately $150,000, its deemed fair value.
The Company believes that its cash on hand will be sufficient to fund planned
operations for at least the next 12-month period. The Company (primarily
Flexible) is anticipating capital expenditures of approximately $50,000, during
the next year. Management believes that these expenditures can be funded from
existing resources.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
EAC Industries, Inc.
Northbrook, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EAC Industries,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the two year period ended January 31, 1999. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EAC Industries, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of January 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

EAC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY:
EAC Industries, Inc., the Company, was organized in 1958 as a New
York corporation. The Company is a holding company with, as of
January 31, 1998, three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Goodren
Products Corporation ("Goodren"), Flexible Printed Products, Inc.
("Flexible") and Athena Packaging, Inc. ("Athena"). See Note 2 for a
description of Discontinued Operations. Flexible, currently the
Company's only operating subsidiary, produces and prints on plastic,
pre-cure in-mold heat transfer labels for the identification and
decoration of rubber and silicone hoses, belts and tire patches.
NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
In June 1998, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of
the assets of Goodren Label Corporation (formerly Athena Packaging
Inc.) for an aggregate sales price of $277,000 including inventory
valued at the lower of cost or market. Simultaneously with the sale,
the Company entered into a consulting agreement with the buyer which
terminated 180 days after the closing. The value of this agreement,
$75,000, was included with the payment made at closing. The buyer
paid the sales price as follows: (i) $167,000 at closing, (ii) value
of inventory 90 days after the closing plus interest accrued at an
annual rate of 7% and (iii) $62,500 which was to be paid 180 days
after closing plus accrued interest at 7% per annum. As of January
31, 1999, all payments due had been received.
On March 1, 1999, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company
completed the sale of the operating assets of Goodren Products
Corporation ("Goodren") for a price of $400,000 plus the assumption
of all trade payable liabilities. The payment terms are as follows:
(i) $200,000 at closing, (ii) $30,000 to be paid 180 days after
closing plus interest accrued at an annual rate of 7% (iii) $50,000
to be paid 360 days after closing plus interest accrued at an annual
rate of 7%, (iv) $60,000 to be paid 540 days after closing plus
interest accrued at an annual rate of 7% (v) $60,000 to be paid 720
days after closing plus interest accrued at an annual rate of 7%.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Company's accounting policies are in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Outlined below are those policies
considered particularly significant.
(a) Use of Estimates:
In preparing financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, management makes certain estimates
and assumptions, where applicable, that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. While actual results could differ from those estimates,
management does not expect such variances, if any, to have a
material effect on the financial statements.

(b) Basis of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
(c) Statements of Cash Flows:
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers
all investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months
or less to be a cash equivalent.
(d) Concentration of Credit Risk/ Fair Value:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash
investments and accounts receivable.
The Company and its subsidiaries maintain, at times, deposits, in
federally insured financial institutions, in excess of federally
insured limits. Management attempts to monitor the soundness of
these financial institutions and feels the Company's risk is
negligible.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable
are limited.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable
and accounts payable reasonably approximate fair value because of
the short maturity of those instruments.
(e) Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on
a first-in, first-out basis.
(f) Property, Plant and Equipment:
Fixed assets are reflected at cost. The Company principally uses the
straight-line method to compute depreciation of fixed assets.
Depreciation lives generally range from three to ten years for
furniture and fixtures, machinery and equipment and transportation
equipment. Buildings are being amortized over 20 years and leasehold
improvements are amortized over the useful life of the asset or the
term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Major renewals and
betterments of fixed assets are capitalized while maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement of fixed assets,
the related cost and accumulated depreciation are written off and
any gain or loss is reflected in income.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
(g) Goodwill:
Costs in excess of net assets acquired are considered goodwill and
are being amortized over periods ranging from 15 to 40 years on a
straight line basis. Amortization costs included in continuing
operations were $14,388 for each of the years ended January 31, 1999
and 1998. Accumulated amortization as of January 31, 1999 and 1998
aggregated $52,379 and $37,991, respectively.
The Company periodically reviews the valuation and amortization of
goodwill to determine possible impairment by comparing the carrying
value to the undiscounted future cash flows of the related assets in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121 -
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for
Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of.
(h) Income Taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes using the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") which require that the Company
utilize an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and
reporting for income taxes. The primary objectives of accounting for
income taxes under SFAS No. 109 are to (a) recognize the amount of
tax payable for the current year and (b) recognize the amount of
deferred tax liability or asset based on management's assessment of
the tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the
Company's financial statements or tax returns. See also Note 9.
(i) Income Per Share:
The Company reports earnings per share as required by SFAS 128
"Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 requires the
presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share on the face
of the income statement. Basic loss per common share is computed by
dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each period.
(j) Reclassifications:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 financial
statements in order to conform to the 1999 presentation. These
reclassifications relate to the disposition of assets as disclosed
in Note 2.

(k) New Accounting Pronouncements:
SFAS 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" is effective for years
beginning after December 15, 1997 and early adoption is permitted.
This statement prescribes standards for reporting comprehensive
income and its components. The Company currently has no items of
other comprehensive income.
SFAS 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" is effective for years beginning after December 15,
1997 and early adoption is encouraged. The Company does not
presently believe that it operates in more than one identifiable
segment.
(l) Impact of the Year 2000 Issue:
The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any
of the Company's computer programs that have date-sensitive software
may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000. This could potentially result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send
invoices, or engage in other similar normal business activities. The
Company has ensured that its software is already year 2000
compliant, and as such, this issue is not expected to have a
material effect on the operations of the Company.

NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
In November 1997, the Company filed a statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission registering 283,551 shares of its common
stock to be issued upon exercise of the rights to subscribe for such
shares, "the Rights Offering". Shareholders holding 100 shares of
common stock or more at the close of business on November 10, 1997
(the record date) received one non-transferable Right for each share
of common stock held. Each Right entitled the holder to purchase one
share of Company common stock at an exercise price of $.22 per
share. This offering closed in February 1998 and the Company
realized net proceeds of $101,019. Simultaneously with the closing,
the Company effected (i) a 100 to 1 reverse split of its common
stock through a reclassification of its common stock and (ii) an
immediate subsequent reclassification with a forward stock split
pursuant to which each holder of the reclassified common stock would
receive 99 additional shares of reclassified common stock. The
effect of this was to eliminate all holders of less than 100 shares
(pre-reverse split) of common stock, such stockholders receiving
cash of $.28125 per share in lieu of their fractional interests.

Net Deferred Income Tax Asset $ -- $ --
========== ==========
</TABLE>
The Company has available operating loss carryforwards for federal
tax purposes of approximately $9,000,000. These losses expire in
various years beginning in 2005 and may result in deferred tax
assets. The Company had previously recorded a deferred tax asset
based on the assumed recoverability of the net operating loss
carryforward. Since the Company realized a significant net operating
loss for the year ended January 31, 1998, this deferred tax asset
was reversed during that year. The Company has provided a 100%
valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset since it is not
more likely than not that such asset will be realized in the near
future. This allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year,
considering both positive and negative evidence concerning the
realizability of the asset, and will be increased or reduced
accordingly.
Reconciliation of the statutory Federal income tax rate to the
Company's negative effective tax rate for the years ended January
31, 1999 and 1998 is not meaningful and therefore not provided due
to the reversal of the deferred tax asset.

NOTE 10 - RETIREMENT PLANS:
Goodren has a defined contribution profit sharing plan covering
substantially all of its employees. Contributions are based on a
percentage of each participant's compensation or a fixed annual
contribution for union employees based on a collective bargaining
agreement. The cost of the plan approximated $35,000 in 1998. No
contributions were made in 1999.
Due to the sale of Goodren's operating assets in March 1999, the
Company is currently in the process of terminating this plan.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
(a) Operating Leases:
The Company and its subsidiaries lease certain administrative and
manufacturing facilities and equipment under operating leases
expiring at various times through 2002. Other locations are rented
on a month to month basis. Rental and lease expense aggregated
approximately $109,000 and $102,000 for the years ended January 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.
Future minimum rental commitments for existing operating leases and
in the aggregate are as follows:

(b) Employment Contracts:
The Company had an employment contract (the "Contract") with the
President of Goodren which, after its expiration on January 31,
1994, was renewed automatically for successive one year terms. The
contract specified base compensation of $155,000 for the initial
term with annual increases based on changes in the consumer price
index. The contract also provided for additional compensation equal
to 5% of the operating income of Goodren provided such operating
income exceeds $650,000 for the fiscal year. In December 1994,
Goodren entered into a further agreement with this executive whereby
the proceeds of a newly purchased term life insurance policy in the
amount of $250,000 will be paid to the spouse upon the death of this
executive. As a result of the sale of the operating assets in March
1999, this contract has now been terminated.
Flexible entered into an employment contract with its President for
a three year period ending December 15, 1997, subject to renewals
for successive one year terms. The base compensation under this
contract was $75,000 with adjustments made annually based on changes
in the consumer price index. The contract also provided for
additional compensation based on annual sales revenue and/or gross
profit performance of Flexible. The contract also covered
non-compete provisions, availability of medical benefits and the use
of an automobile. During the year ended January 31, 1999, this
employee resigned thus terminating the contract.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
(c) Other:
Goodren has withdrawn from participating in the District 65 Union
Pension Plan (the "Plan"). The withdrawal has resulted in the
assessment of a withdrawal liability owed to the Plan by Goodren.
During the year ended January 31, 1995, the Company accrued a
reserve for an estimated liability of $560,000 which counsel to the
Company believed would be payable over a period of approximately 22
years beginning approximately one year from the withdrawal date. In
March of 1996, the Company signed an agreement with the Plan whereby
they would make quarterly payments of $7,548. At September 30, 1996,
the Company and Goodren entered into a Settlement Agreement with the
Trustees of the union pension plan whereby Goodren's pension fund
liability was reduced to $360,000 payable in 80 equal quarterly
payments of $8,752 including annual interest at a rate of 8%. The
Company applied for relief as a "hardship case" pursuant to the
Settlement Agreement, and received approval to reduce its quarterly
obligations to $3,000 until such time as the Company is out of
hardship. As of January 31, 1999, this liability is reflected at its
fair value of $149,379, after recording a write-down of $200,000
during the current year.
