PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Spinnaker Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant"), formerly Safety Railway
Service Corporation, was incorporated in Delaware in 1941.
The Registrant is a diversified manufacturing company with three
subsidiaries that operate in two industry segments, adhesive coated materials
and industrial processing equipment. Brown-Bridge Industries,
Inc. ("Brown-Bridge"), an 80.1% owned subsidiary, is in the adhesive coated
paper industry and Central Product Company ("Central") is a manufacturer of
carton sealing tape. Entoleter, Inc. ("Entoleter") is a manufacturer of size
reduction, recycling and pollution control equipment. Additional business
segment information about the Registrant is set forth in Note 11 to the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In 1987, Lynch Corporation, an Indiana corporation listed on the
American Stock Exchange, purchased from a group of investors approximately
82% of the Common Stock of the Registrant. In November 1989, Lynch
Corporation transferred all of its holdings of the Registrant to a
wholly-owned subsidiary Lynch Manufacturing Corporation. As of December 31,
1995, Lynch Manufacturing Corporation owned 2,259,063 shares, or 83.2%, of
the Common Stock of the Registrant.
In October 1995, the Registrant through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Central Products Acquisition Corporation (subsequently renamed Central
Products Company), acquired the stock and assets of Alco Standard
Corporation's Central Products operation for a total cost of approximately
$80,000,000. This acquisition has had a significant and material impact on
the size and operations of the Registrant. See Note 2 to the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
As part of the Registrant's acquisition of Central Products Company from
Alco Standard Corporation, the seller provided two subordinated notes to the
Registrant totaling $25,000,000 and the seller received the right to sell
these notes back to the Registrant (the "Put Agreements"). Lynch Corporation
agreed to guarantee the notes and to provide the funds to satisfy the Put
Agreements in consideration of an annual fee of .05% of the principal amount
guaranteed. Alco Standard Corporation has exercised its rights under the Put
Agreements to sell the notes back to the Registrant. As a result of
agreements with Alco Standard Corporation, the closing has been extended from
January 31, 1996, to early April 1996. The Registrant is actively pursuing
financing alternatives, which may involve additional bank loans and the
issuance of debt securities and equity securities. Currently, neither the
Registrant nor Lynch Corporation has the funds available to satisfy the
obligation to Alco Standard Corporation. As of the date of this report, no
agreements have been consummated regarding the terms of any financing, and
there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on
satisfactory terms. As a result, the Report Of Independent Auditors on the
Registrant's financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph citing
substantial doubt about the Registrant's ability to continue as a going
concern. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" and Note 4 to the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

ADHESIVE COATED MATERIALS SUBSIDIARIES
Brown-Bridge and Central both compete in different segments of the
approximately $4 billion adhesive coated materials industry. This market
includes consumer product labels, adhesive backed labels, and water-activated
and pressure sensitive tapes.
BROWN-BRIDGE INDUSTRIES, INC.
Brown-Bridge develops, manufactures, and markets adhesive coated
products that are converted by printers and industrial users into products
used for marking, identifying, promoting, labeling and decorating
applications. End uses include consumer product labeling, electronic data
processing (EDP) identification, pharmaceutical and food marking, and postage
stamp paper.
MARKETS AND CUSTOMERS
Brown-Bridge competes in the adhesive coated paper and film market,
where it offers a full line of adhesive backed paper products that are
pressure, heat and water sensitive. Although this market is dominated
principally by two suppliers (see "Competition"), Brown-Bridge markets and
sells its products nationally. The Registrant's Brown-Bridge subsidiary
principally sells product to printers, converters and paper merchants.
Brown-Bridge generally markets its products through its own sales
representatives to regional and national printers, converters and merchants.
The majority of sales represent product sold and shipped from Brown-Bridge's
facilities in Troy, Ohio. However, the Registrant's Brown-Bridge subsidiary
also contracts with seven regional processors throughout the United States,
with whom Brown-Bridge stores product until sold. Generally, these
processors perform both slitting and distribution services for Brown-Bridge.
Brown-Bridge's business is not dependent upon a single customer and the
loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse effect on its
business. Although no single customer accounts for more than 10% of the
aggregate revenues, the top 25 customers account for approximately 50% of
Brown-Bridge's total revenues.
PRODUCTS
PRESSURE SENSITIVE. Pressure sensitive products, which are activated by
the application of pressure, are manufactured with a three element
construction consisting of face stock, adhesive coating, and silicone coated
release liner. The adhesive product is sold in roll or sheet form for
further conversion into products used primarily for marking, identification
and promotional labeling. Pressure sensitive products are sold under the
tradenames Strip Tac and Strip Tac Plus. Pressure
-3-
<PAGE>
sensitive products accounted for approximately $82,888,000 (61%) of the
Registrant's consolidated net sales during 1995.
ROLLS. Roll pressure sensitive products are generally sold to
label printers that produce products used primarily for
informational labels (shipping labels, price labels,
warning labels, etc.), product identification and postage
stamps. A distinct product segment is EDP end use. These
computer-generated labels are usually produced as part of
a forms set for mailing, shipping, inventory control
labels or other similar applications. The major channel
of distribution is direct selling to printers. Brown-Bridge
also uses regional contract slitters/distributors to service
local markets more effectively. This product line includes a
variety of face stocks, several hot melt and emulsion
adhesives (permanent, removable and specialty), and in-house
coated silicone release liner.
SHEETS. Sheet pressure sensitive products are sold to commercial
sheet printers, who provide information labels and other
products, such as bumper stickers. Sheet pressure
sensitive products are sold primarily through fine paper
merchants who service commercial sheet printers. This
product line consists of a variety of face stocks and
several permanent, removable and specialty emulsion
process adhesives.
HEAT SENSITIVE. Heat sensitive products, which are activated by the
application of heat, are manufactured by coating a face stock with either a
hot melt coating or an emulsion process adhesive. The heat sensitive product
line is sold primarily for labeling end uses. Adhesives are either
instantaneous or delayed action to allow label repositioning. Heat sensitive
uses include labels for pharmaceutical bottles, meat and cheese packages,
supermarket scales, cassettes and bakery packages. The adhesive coated
product is sold in roll or sheet form for further conversion. Brown-Bridge
offers a full line of hot melt, delayed action products and a limited line of
emulsion and wax-based instantaneous products. Brown-Bridge's heat sensitive
products are sold under the trade name Heat Seal.
WATER SENSITIVE. Water sensitive products, which are activated by the
application of water, include a broad range of paper and cloth materials,
coated with a variety of adhesives. There are two distinct water sensitive
adhesives, known as conventional and dry gum, that are produced with
different coating processes. The adhesive coated products are sold in roll
or sheet form for further conversion to postage and promotional stamps,
container labels, inventory control labels, shipping labels and splicing,
binding, and stripping tapes. The water sensitive line is sold under the
tradename Pancake and consists of three product groups: dry process,
conventional gummed and industrial:
DRY PROCESS. Dry process is sold primarily for label and business forms
uses. Dry process is sold in sheet form primarily to
fine paper merchants for resale to commercial printers
who, in turn, resell printed labels for a variety of uses
such as carton labels. Dry process is also sold for use
in roll form to manufacturers of imprinting machines or
to the distributors of machine rolls.
-4-
<PAGE>
Brown-Bridge offers dry process stock for both label and
business forms applications, including laser printer
compatible product.
CONVENTIONAL Conventional gum products serve many of the same end uses
GUM. for hand applied labels as dry process stock. A major
portion of these products is sold for government postage
and promotional stamp uses. These large volume pieces of
business are awarded on a bid basis. Brown-Bridge is one
of the largest manufacturers of postage stamp paper.
Products are distributed either through fine paper
merchants or directly to printers. Brown-Bridge products
are available for both stamp and label applications.
INDUSTRIAL. This product line consists of products sold in several
small market niches: acid-free electrical grades, binding
and stripping tapes, cloth and splicing tapes, veneer
tapes, and other kraft and specialty items.
MANUFACTURING
FACILITIES. Brown-Bridge owns two manufacturing facilities in Troy,
Ohio, where it mixes and coats paper stock with adhesives to produce water
sensitive, heat sensitive and pressure sensitive roll and sheet products. In
addition, in order to service roll pressure sensitive regional markets,
Brown-Bridge has contracted with seven slitters/distributors in Los Angeles,
California; Dallas, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; High Point, North Carolina;
Boston, Massachusetts; and Chicago, Illinois. These locations were selected
based upon customer concentration, geographic diversity and
slitter/distributor's capabilities. These locations typically consists of
warehouse space and one or more slitting machines owned by the regional
slitter/distributor. Brown-Bridge stores product in these regional
locations, until sold or processed by such slitter/distributors, to service
their respective market area. Product can be shipped from any of these
locations or transferred between locations as necessary to service needs
across the United States.
RAW MATERIALS. Brown-Bridge uses a wide array of raw materials to
produce its products, including paper stock, silicone and adhesives. Raw
materials are the most significant cost components for producers of adhesive
backed products: the three most important raw material costs being face stock
(paper substrate), adhesives and silicone. These materials are procured from
numerous suppliers in the United States and Canada and, while temporary
shortages may occur occasionally, these items are currently readily
available.
MANUFACTURING IMPROVEMENTS. Although the Registrant believes that its
adhesive coated materials products have a good reputation for quality within
the marketplace, Brown-Bridge is continuing an intensive company-wide effort
to improve manufacturing and administrative efficiency and product quality.
Brown-Bridge's management has specifically identified the reduction of scrap,
the improvement of product quality and cycletime and the reduction of working
capital requirements as goals to be addressed in this effort.
-5-
<PAGE>
COMPETITION
The adhesives coated products industry is highly competitive and
Brown-Bridge competes with both national and regional suppliers. A majority
of the adhesive coated products market is held by two manufacturers, Avery
Dennison and Bemis. Competition for many of Brown-Bridge's products is based
primarily on quality, supplier response time and price.
Industry leaders have historically set general product price levels that
influence prices established by mid-sized suppliers such as Brown-Bridge. As
a result, Brown-Bridge has experienced some flexibility in pricing its
products, consistent with general industry-wide price levels, while
simultaneously allowing it to maintain its product margins.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The Registrant believes that Brown-Bridge operates in compliance with
current applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws, regulations
and ordinances.
AIR. Brown-Bridge operates air contaminant sources at both Troy plants.
These sources consist of coaters and boilers, all of which are permitted or
registered in compliance with Ohio law. Brown-Bridge continues to monitor
anticipated changes in federal and state environmental regulations and
intends to comply with such regulations following their approval. To date,
Brown-Bridge has complied with all preliminary requirements. The nature of
Brown-Bridge's coating operations necessitate the emission of a minimal
number of air pollutants that the Environmental Protection Agency has
targeted for nationwide reduction through voluntary and/or regulatory
programs. Brown-Bridge has voluntarily reduced its use of most of the
chemicals and continues to search for effective substitutes for the others.
WASTEWATER. Brown-Bridge generates sanitary and process wastewater at
both of its plants in Troy, Ohio. Both plants discharge sanitary and process
wastewater to the City of Troy's publicly owned treatment works and are in
compliance with the city's discharge requirements. Additionally, Plant 1
discharges non-contact cooling water and storm water directly to the Great
Miami River pursuant to a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
permit.
SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE. Brown-Bridge generates hazardous waste and
nonhazardous solid waste at both plants. Both waste materials are
transported by licensed haulers and properly disposed of at facilities
permitted to manage such waste materials.
SUPERFUND INVOLVEMENT. Liability for Brown-Bridge's past off-site
disposal practices has been retained by Kimberly-Clark Corporation as
provided in the acquisition agreement, pursuant to which the Brown-Bridge
unit was acquired.
ON-SITE REMEDIAL ACTIVITIES. Site investigations conducted in 1993 and
1994 revealed the presence of soil and groundwater contamination at Plant 1
and minor soil contamination at Plant 2. Kimberly-Clark assumed the
responsibility to conduct voluntary remedial measures at Plant 1 to eliminate
(or reduce below regulatory levels) contaminants in the soils and groundwater.
The remedial measures were completed in 1995.
-6-
<PAGE>
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1995, Brown-Bridge employed 371 persons. All
employees other than management are paid on an hourly basis. Brown-Bridge's
employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The
Registrant believes that its relations with its employees are good.
INDUSTRIAL CENTRAL PRODUCTS COMPANY
Central is the second largest U.S. carton sealing tape manufacturer.
Central manufactures water activated tape (also known as "gummed" tape) and
pressure sensitive tape. Central offers three types of gummed tape: paper
tape, reinforced tape and box tape. It also manufactures pressure sensitive
tape with all three primary adhesive technologies: acrylic, hot melt and
natural rubber. Central believes it is the only U.S. supplier to manufacture
both gummed tape and pressure sensitive tape, and is the only company to
produce pressure sensitive tape utilizing all three pressure sensitive
adhesive technologies. Central also offers tape dispensers and tape
application equipment manufactured by unaffiliated companies.
MARKETS AND CUSTOMERS
Carton sealing tape is used in a broad array of industrial and consumer
applications, including the packaging of goods for shipment by manufacturing
or distribution companies. Tape competes with other methods for sealing
cartons, such as staples, metal or plastic strapping, and hot-melt glues and
cold glues. Tape can provide significant advantages to certain end users
over other forms of closure in terms of cost, speed, efficiency and security;
however, certain industry segments lend themselves to competing technologies.
Central's sales strategy emphasizes supplying a full line of both water
activated and pressure sensitive tape products. As it is the only company in
the industry that manufactures both pressure sensitive tape and water
activated tape, Central is capable of providing its customers with "one stop
shopping" for their carton sealing tape requirements. Central sells its
products primarily to paper distributors, who then resell the products to the
end user. Central possesses a widely diversified customer base, with no
single customer accounting for more than 10% of the Company's total sales.
Approximately 5% of total sales are to the international market.
PRODUCTS
WATER ACTIVATED TAPES (ALSO KNOWN AS GUMMED TAPES). Water activated
tape is generally manufactured through the application of a thin layer of
water activated adhesive to gumming kraft paper. It is offered as either
non-reinforced tape or reinforced tape. Non-reinforced tape is made by
applying an adhesive to a single layer of kraft paper. Reinforced tape
contains a layer of fiberglass yarn placed between two layers of kraft paper.
Both non-reinforced tape and reinforced tape are available in light, medium
and heavy grades.
-7-
<PAGE>
PAPER TAPE. Paper tape is used for less challenging applications
such as light loads, retail carry-out and unitized
pallets. Paper tape utilizes a consistent and
dependable adhesive applied to high tensile strength
kraft paper.
REINFORCED TAPE. Reinforced tape is the strongest and most widely used
water activated tape. It adds an extra measure of
strength for applications where durability and
reliability are required, such as in two strip
carton sealing and non-unitized loads.
BOX TAPE. Box tape is designed specifically for taping the
manufacturer's joint on corrugated cartons. It is
similar in construction to reinforced tape and is
reliable, bonds quickly and is also recyclable.
Although over the last several years, pressure sensitive tape has grown
rapidly at the expense of non-tape applications, such as glue and staples and
some water activated tape, for sealing cartons, pressure sensitive tape does
not perform as effectively as water activated tape in certain applications,
such as recycled corrugated cartons. The use of recycled corrugated cartons
has been increasing because of environmental concerns. These environmental
issues have benefited the water activated tape segment because of the
perception that paper-backed tape is more environmentally-friendly than
film-backed tape. Additionally, Central is working to develop new and
improved equipment for dispensing and applying water activated tape, which
should make water activated tape more competitive with pressure sensitive
tape.
PRESSURE SENSITIVE TAPES. Pressure sensitive tape is manufactured
primarily through the coating of plastic film with a thin layer of acrylic,
hot melt or natural rubber adhesive. Pressure sensitive carton sealing tape
generally varies from 1.75 to 3 inches in width and from 1.7 to 3.0 mils (one
mil = .001 inches) in thickness.
The adhesive is applied to various grades of high-quality, low-stretch
polypropylene film for use in most applications as well as PVC and polyester
films which are used for certain specialized applications.
ACRYLIC ADHESIVE Acrylic technology is the least complex of those used
PRESSURE SENSITIVE to manufacture pressure sensitive adhesives and
TAPE produces tapes with excellent clarity, non-yellowing
properties, good temperature resistance and low
application cost.
HOT MELT ADHESIVE Hot melt adhesive technology produces tape with an
PRESSURE SENSITIVE aggressive bond that can seal more cartons in less
TAPE time, making it the most widely used pressure
sensitive tape.
NATURAL RUBBER Due to its very strong bonding properties, natural
ADHESIVE PRESSURE rubber is better suited than other pressure sensitive
SENSITIVE TAPE tapes for more challenging carton sealing applications
such as over-filled cartons, cartons exposed to
varying temperatures and dusty cartons. Natural
rubber tape
-8-
<PAGE>
possesses a firm unwind characteristic which makes it
excellent for manual applications. Central is the
only manufacturer of natural rubber adhesive tape
in the U.S.
Over the last several years, pressure sensitive tape has grown rapidly
at the expense of non-tape applications, such as glue and staples and some
water activated tape, for sealing cartons. This has occurred primarily due
to improvements in performance, strength and versatility, and decreasing
prices for pressure sensitive products resulting from increased capacity in
the industry.
EQUIPMENT/SPECIALTY AND CONVERTER PRODUCTS. Central supplies tape
dispensing equipment manufactured by other companies. It currently offers
two types of table top dispensers for water activated tape - a manual
dispenser and a more expensive electric dispenser. Central also offers a
broad line of carton sealing equipment for pressure sensitive tape, which
ranges from hand held dispensers to automatic random sizing equipment.
To supplement its product offerings, Central also offers specialty tapes
for other applications including kraftback pressure sensitive tape, filament
tape, masking tape, duct tape and strapping tape, all manufactured by other
companies. The converter group also seeks and offers new non-tape products,
such as an overlaminating film used as a protective barrier over paper
labels, for resale to Central's customers.
In addition, Central offers printed tapes in both its water activated
tape and pressure sensitive tape lines. Customers see printed tape as a
means of inexpensive advertising and an opportunity to put their "seal" of
approval on each carton.
MANUFACTURING
FACILITIES. Central currently manufactures tape products in two
locations. Water activated tape is manufactured in Menasha, Wisconsin and
pressure sensitive tape is manufactured in Brighton, Colorado. Central also
maintains three distribution centers across the U.S. to ensure fast and
reliable service to its customers.
RAW MATERIALS. Raw materials are the most significant cost component
of carton sealing tape products. The material component accounts for 65% to
70% of the total cost, with the most important raw materials being paper
(gumming kraft), polypropylene resin, amorphous polypropylene laminate,
fiberglass, and adhesive materials. While prices of these materials vary,
Central has not experienced any difficulties in obtaining the materials,
because they are available from multiple sources.
COMPETITION
The Company competes with other manufacturers of carton sealing tape
products as well as manufacturers of alternative carton closure products.
Competition in the carton sealing market is based primarily on price and
quality, although other factors may enhance a company's competitive position,
including product performance characteristics, technical support, product
literature and customer support. There are a wide range of participants in
the carton sealing industry, including
-9-
<PAGE>
large diversified corporations (principally in pressure sensitive) and small
private companies (principally in water activated tape). Central one of the
leading manufactures of water activated tape. 3M is the largest
manufacturer of pressure sensitive tape in the carton sealing market in the
United States.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The Registrant believes that both its water activated tape (Menasha, WI)
and pressure sensitive tape (Brighton, CO) manufacturing facilities operate
in compliance with current applicable federal, state and local environmental
laws, regulations and ordinances.
WATER ACTIVATED TAPE. Wastewater discharged from the Menasha facility is
a combination of wash-down water from operations, non-contact cooling water
and domestic wastewater. Except for a portion of the sanitary water, all
wastewater is discharged to the Neenah-Menasha Sewerage Commission with no
pretreatment necessary.
The water activated tape plant is currently classified as a small
quantity generator of hazardous waste. Waste materials are transported by
licensed haulers and properly disposed of at facilities permitted to manage
such waste materials.
PRESSURE SENSITIVE TAPE. The Brighton production operation is covered
under a Bubble Construction Permit covering the entire facility. The permit
covers all storage/mix tanks, several coating lines, the film extrusion
process, natural gas fired boilers, and fugitive emissions. During the past
five years, Central Products has voluntarily reduced solvent emissions by
more than 70%. Due to this significant reduction in hazardous air pollutants
(HAPs), the operation has evolved from a major source to a synthetic minor
source. Additional developments have been underway to further reduce or
eliminate HAPs from the operation.
Wastewater in Brighton is generated from the film production process,
several cooling towers and other plant processes. The wastewater is
discharged to the City of Brighton publicly-owned treatment works and no
current compliance issues have been identified.
The pressure sensitive tape plant is currently classified as a large
quantity hazardous waste generator. The various waste materials are
transported by licensed haulers and properly disposed of at facilities
permitted to manage such waste materials. A significant portion of the solid
waste from the operation is sold as by-products and are reclaimed offsite by
other manufacturers.
Liability for Central's past off-site disposal practices and involvement
with any Superfund sites has been retained by Alco Standard as provided in
the acquisition agreement, pursuant to which Central was acquired.
EMPLOYEES
Central employed approximately 680 persons at December 31, 1995. The Company
has a labor agreement expiring in 1998 with the United Paperworkers
International Union AFL-CIO covering
-10-
<PAGE>
its hourly employees at the Menasha Plant. The employees at its Brighton
plant are not represented by any union. Central believes it has good
relations with its employees.
INDUSTRIAL PROCESS EQUIPMENT SUBSIDIARY
Entoleter engineers, manufactures and markets a vertically integrated
line of size reduction equipment complemented by a line of air pollution
control equipment. Entoleter's products primarily consist of: (a) Centrimil
Milling Equipment for particle size reduction; (b) Central granulators for
the plastics molding industry and precision cutters for the film and
non-woven industry; and (c) Centrifield Scrubbers for the removal of
impurities from air, gases and liquids, and for heat recovery, gas
absorption, and other mass transfer functions.
PRODUCTS
CENTRIMIL PRODUCT LINE. The Centrimil product line offers centrifugal
impact mills that utilize a wide range of free flowing materials. The
Centrimil can perform a wide range of processing functions. These include
pulverizing, mixing and blending, deagglomeration, fiberizing, dehulling,
grain cleaning and infestation destruction. The Centrimil has the ability to
process slurries and liquids as well as dry flowing materials and can be
employed in certain processes where other types of fine grinding equipment
are not suitable.
ALSTEELE PRODUCT LINE. Entoleter's Alsteele line of granulators is now
complimented by a new precision, rotary knife cutter. The precision film
cutters are designed specifically for reducing film and fiber scrap, while
the granulators are designed to handle injection and blow-molded parts.
CENTRIFIELD PRODUCT LINE. The CentriField Vortex Scrubber is a air
pollution control device that removes particulate and acid gases from exhaust
streams. It provides higher efficiency for particulate and acid gas removal
with reduced energy usage. These characteristics enable Centrifield
scrubbers to perform better than conventional scrubbers on applications that
require both particulate and acid gas removal.
RAW MATERIALS AND PATENTS
Substantially all raw materials, which consist principally of carbon and
stainless steel (in various sizes and shapes), and steel forgings, are
obtained from domestic trade sources. The loss of any single trade supplier
would not have a material adverse effect on the operations of Entoleter
because alternative domestic sources of supply are readily available.
Entoleter has no supply contracts exceeding one year and has generally
experienced no supply shortages, except in specialized electric motors where
delivery sometimes exceeds six months.
Patents are held by the Registrant on certain of its products, but such
patents are not considered important to the operations. The patents expire
over various lengths of time with the last patent expiring in about 10 years.
-11-
<PAGE>
CUSTOMERS AND COMPETITION
Entoleter's net sales consist entirely of sales to commercial and
industrial customers. One customer represented 15.3% of net sales in 1995
and no customer exceeded 10% of sales in 1994. The Registrant believes that
the failure of Entoleter to make sales to any particular customer in the
future would not have a material adverse effect on the Registrant.
The Registrant's industrial process equipment subsidiary operates in
highly competitive worldwide markets. Entoleter has many competitors in
these markets, most of which are larger and have greater financial resources
than the Registrant. Competitive factors include price and quality of products.
Entoleter markets its products directly to users primarily through outside
sales representatives.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER INFORMATION
Research and development has not been material to Entoleter's business.
Product refinement and new application testing are performed and expensed as
part of the cost of operations.
Entoleter has identified possible environmental issues related to
portions of its land in Hamden, Connecticut. The appropriate regulatory
agencies have been notified, but to date no action has been required by any
regulatory agency.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1995, Entoleter had 40 full-time employees. All
hourly-paid production employees are members of the United Electrical, Radio
and Machine Workers of America Union. The current collective bargaining
agreement expires on April 30, 1996. The Registrant believes that its
relations with its employees are good.
FOREIGN SALES
The Registrant's foreign sales were $10,444,000, $3,913,000 and $806,000
in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Brown-Bridge had foreign sales of $6,618,000 (or 4.9% of the
Registrant's consolidated sales) and $1,578,000 (or 4.7%) in 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Approximately 82% of these 1995 foreign sales were to Canadian
customers and, consequently, the Registrant believes that the risks commonly
associated with doing business in foreign countries are minimal.
Central had foreign sales of $567,000 (or 0.4%) of the Registrant's
consolidated net sales in 1995. Entoleter's export sales were $3,259,000 (or
2%), $2,335,000 (or 7%), and $806,000 (or 13%) of the Registrant's consolidated
net sales in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
The profitability of foreign sales is substantially equivalent to that
of domestic sales. Because foreign sales are transacted in U.S. dollars,
payments in many cases are secured by irrevocable letters of credit, and
sales are spread over a number of customers in several countries, the
Registrant believes that the risk commonly associated with doing business in
foreign countries are minimized.

BACKLOG
The Registrant's backlog believed to be firm was $10,729,000 and
$6,347,000, at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Brown-Bridge's
backlog for orders believed to be firm as of December 31, 1995, was
approximately $5,687,000 versus $4,615,000 at December 31, 1994. Central's
backlog for orders was approximately $3,089,000 at December 31, 1995. At
December 31, 1995, Entoleter's backlog of firm orders was $1,953,000.
Entoleter's backlog was $1,732,000 at December 31, 1994. The Registrant's
management believes that all such orders will be shipped in 1996.

square foot administrative facility is seven years old and is the center for
all administrative services of the carton sealing tape subsidiary. To
service its customers, the company maintains three leased distribution
centers strategically placed across the United States: Neenah, Wisconsin -
90,000 sq ft; Linden, New Jersey - 30,000 sq ft, and; Denver Colorado -
100,000 sq ft. All of Central's properties are subject to liens that secure

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1995 COMPARED WITH 1994
Effective October 4, 1995, the Registrant, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, purchased the stock and assets of Alco Standard Corporation's
Central Products operation, which manufactures a variety of carton sealing
tapes. The Registrant's 1995 results include Central's operations from that
date.
SALES. The Registrant's 1995 net sales were $135,289,000, an increase
of $101,657,000, when compared with net sales of $33,632,000 in 1994. The
increase in net sales were largely the result of this acquisition and a full
years results from Brown-Bridge, which was purchased in September 1994.
Central accounted for $30,581,000 of the increase, with the balance coming
from Brown-Bridge ($70,324,000) and Entoleter ($752,000).
COST OF SALES. Total cost of sales increased by $89,231,000 to
$117,737,000 in 1995 when compared to 1994. This increase was attributable
to the inclusion of Brown-Bridge for a full year and the acquisition of
Central. Included in the 1995 cost of sales is $86,394,000 for Brown-Bridge
and $26,187,000 for Central.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A"). SG&A represents the
expenses of the operating subsidiaries and the Registrant's corporate office.
SG&A expense for 1995 was $11,763,000, an increase of $7,359,000 over 1994.
The increase was attributable primarily to Brown-Bridge ($4,418,000) and the
addition of Central ($2,591,000) with the remainder of the increase
attributable to the Registrant's corporate office. The 1995 SG&A expense at
Brown-Bridge included a charge of $562,000 for fees paid to a consulting firm
assisting Brown-Bridge to improve its operations and manufacturing processes.
This consulting engagement began in 1994 and was completed in 1995.
INTEREST (EXPENSE). Interest expense for 1995 totaled $4,468,000, of
which $2,189,000, $1,326,000 and $143,000 relates to debt at Brown-Bridge,
Central and Entoleter, respectively. The remainder of the interest expense
($810,000) relates to debt at the corporate level incurred in the acquisition
of Brown-Bridge and Central. Total interest expense for 1995 increased by
$3,700,000, verses 1994 and relates to debt incurred in the acquisition of
Central and a full year of interest accrued on the debt incurred to acquire
Brown-Bridge.
GUARANTEE FEES. The Registrant accrued a $375,000 charge for guarantee
fees due to Lynch Corporation in connection with debt incurred in the
acquisition of Central. This fee is .05% of the principal amount of certain
indebtedness ($25,000,000 at December 31, 1995) of the Registrant. See Note 4
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
-16-
<PAGE>
INCOME TAXES. The 1995 income tax provision provides for federal and
state income taxes at an effective rate of 41%. The 1995 income tax
provision has been reduced by $279,000 due to the reversal of the
Registrant's valuation allowance related to net deferred taxes.
NET INCOME. The Registrant recorded net income of $561,000, or $.17 per
share for 1995, versus a net loss of $90,000, or $(.03) per share in 1994.
The earnings per share have been adjusted to reflect two three for two stock
splits effected on December 29, 1995, and December 30, 1994.
1994 COMPARED WITH 1993
On September 19, 1994, Registrant purchased 80.1% of Brown-Bridge
Industries, Inc., an entity formed to acquire Kimberly Clark's Brown-Bridge
operation, which manufactures adhesive-coated products for labels and related
applications.
SALES. Registrant's 1994 results include Brown-Bridge's operations
from that date. As a result of this acquisition, 1994 net sales were
$33,632,000, an increase of $27,261,000, compared with net sales of
$6,371,000 reported in 1993. Brown-Bridge accounted for $26,849,000 of the
increase, with the remainder coming from Entoleter.
COST OF SALES. Total Cost of sales increased by $24,113,000 in 1994
over 1993. This increase was attributable to the inclusion of Brown-Bridge
($23,641,000) and higher costs at Entoleter ($472,000) because of increased
sales volume in 1994 and the write-off of $200,000 of shredder inventory
reflecting a change in strategy within that product line.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. SG&A expense for 1994 was
$4,404,000, an increase of $2,482,000 over 1993. The increase was
attributable primarily to Brown-Bridge ($1,800,000) and higher commission
and selling expenses at the industrial process equipment subsidiary resulting
from increased sales volume. The SG&A expense at Brown-Bridge includes a
charge of $387,000 for fees paid to a consulting firm assisting Brown-Bridge
to improve its operations and manufacturing processes. SG&A expense for 1994
also includes non-recurring charges of $282,000 related to the implementation
of the management agreement with Messrs. Boyle and Fleming, and $125,000
related to the settlement of litigation and related matters at Entoleter.
INTEREST (EXPENSE). Interest expense for 1994 totaled $768,000, of
which $605,000 relates to additional debt incurred in the acquisition of
Brown-Bridge (see Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
OTHER INCOME - NET. Other income-net for 1994 was $124,000, a decrease
of $43,000 when compared to 1993. The decrease is related primarily to lower
interest income due to lower average cash balances maintained because of cash
utilized in the Brown-Bridge acquisition.
INCOME TAXES. A state income tax provision of $70,000 in 1994 relates
to Brown-Bridge. Federal income taxes for 1994 and 1993 were offset by
utilizing all of the remaining net operating loss carry-forwards of the
Registrant.
-17-
<PAGE>
NET INCOME. The Registrant recorded a net loss of $90,000, or $(.03)
per share for 1994, versus net income of $119,000, or $.04 per share in
1993. The earnings per share have been adjusted to reflect two three for two
stock splits effected on December 29, 1995, and December 30, 1994.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As part of the Registrant's acquisition of Central Products Company from
Alco Standard Corporation, the seller provided two subordinated notes to the
Registrant totaling $25,000,000 and the seller received the right to sell
these notes back to the Registrant under the terms of the Put Agreements.
Lynch Corporation agreed to guarantee the notes and to provide the funds to
satisfy the Put Agreements in consideration of an annual fee of .05% of the
principal amount guaranteed. Alco Standard Corporation has exercised its
rights under the Put Agreements to sell the notes back to the Registrant. As
a result of agreements with Alco Standard Corporation, the closing has been
extended from January 31, 1996, to early April 1996. The Registrant is
actively pursuing financing alternatives, which may involve additional bank
loans and the issuance of debt securities and equity securities. Currently,
the Registrant's only source of internally generated funds are its operating
subsidiaries. The terms of their respective loans restrict the ability of
its subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Registrant. Neither the Registrant
nor Lynch Corporation currently has the funds available to satisfy the
obligation to Alco Standard Corporation. As of the date of this report, no
agreements have been consummated regarding the terms of any financing, and
there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on
satisfactory terms. As a result, the Report Of Independent Auditors on the
Registrant's financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph citing
substantial doubt about the Registrant's ability to continue as a going
concern. If the obligation to Alco Standard Corporation is not satisfied,
management is not, at the time of this report, aware of what actions that
Alco Standard Corporation and the Registrant's lenders may take. Depending
upon the course of actions taken by Alco Standard Corporation and the
Registrant's lenders, the failure to obtain satisfactory financing may have a
material adverse effect on the Registrant. See Note 4 to the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Registrant's cash provided by operating activities for 1995 was
$9,192,000, an increase of $6,689,000 when compared to 1994. This increase
was attributable to including Brown-Bridge's operations for an entire year
and the acquisition of Central. Net cash used in investing activities
increased by $52,290,000, while cash provided by financing activities
increased by $50,426,000, almost all of which relates to the acquisition of
Central. Cash and short-term investments increased during 1995 by
$2,564,000, primarily as a result of excess cash maintained by Central
immediately before such cash was applied to reduce Central's working capital
line balances.
The 1995 increases in other components of working capital, such as
accounts receivable, inventories, deferred taxes, accounts payable,
short-term debt and accrued liabilities are primarily attributable to the
acquisition of Central. As a result of the acquisition of Central and the
current classification as a current liability of the $25,000,000 obligation
owed to Alco Standard Corporation, net working capital at the end of 1995 was
a negative ($17,012,000) versus $4,647,000 at the end of 1994.
-18-
<PAGE>
Net capital expenditures for 1995 were $1,620,000, primarily for the
purchase of machinery and building improvements. The Registrant's plans for
capital expenditures during 1996 will be materially affected by the ultimate
resolution of Registrant's obligations under the Put Agreements.
At December 31, 1995, total debt was $102,040,000 versus $24,546,000 at
the end of 1994. The increase is related to the debt incurred in connection
with the acquisition of Central. The Registrant's subsidiaries have unused
credit facilities available for future use, including revolving credit
agreements with a maximum aggregate availability of $45,500,000. Borrowings
under these credit lines totaled $27,149,000 at December 31, 1995.
Agreements with each subsidiaries' lender impose restrictions on the ability
of the subsidiary to pay dividends or make other cash transfers to the
Registrant.
The backlog of the Registrant totaled $10,729,000 at December 31, 1995,
an increase of $4,382,000 when compared to December 31, 1994. The December
31, 1995 backlog includes $5,687,000 from Brown-Bridge, $3,089,000 at Central
and $1,953,000 at Entoleter.
The Registrant has identified possible environmental issues related to
portions of its land in Hamden, Connecticut. The appropriate regulatory
agencies have been notified, but to date no action has been required by any
regulatory agency.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Spinnaker Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Spinnaker
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (formerly Safety Railway Service
Corporation) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a).
These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules based on our audits. We did not audit the
financial statements of Central Products Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary,
which statements reflect total assets of $94,492,000 as of December 31, 1995
and total revenues of $30,581,000 for the three month period ended December
31, 1995. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report
has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates
to data included for Central Products Company, is based solely on the
report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report
of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Spinnaker
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the
related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Spinnaker Industries, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As more fully
described in Note 4, as of January 2, 1996, Alco Standard Corporation (Alco),
the former owner of Central Products Company, exercised its rights to require
the Company to repurchase the Alco $25 million subordinated notes, including
accrued interest. The Company's parent, Lynch Corporation, agreed to
guarantee the notes and provide funds for the repurchase. At the present
time, neither the Company nor its parent have sufficient funds or available
capacity under their existing financing arrangements to settle the Alco
obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1994 the
Company changed its method of accounting for short-term investments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Spinnaker Industries, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Central Products
Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spinnaker Industries, Inc.) as of
December 31, 1995 and the related statements of operations and shareholder's
equity and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 1995. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Central Products Company as of
December 31, 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the three months ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OWNERSHIP
Spinnaker Industries, Inc., (formerly Safety Railway Service Corporation)
("Spinnaker") is an 83% owned subsidiary of Lynch Manufacturing Corporation,
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lynch Corporation ("Parent").
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spinnaker,
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Entoleter, Inc. ("Entoleter"), its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Central Products Company ("CPC"), and its majority-owned (80.1%)
subsidiary, Brown-Bridge Industries, Inc. ("Brown-Bridge") (collectively
referred to hereinafter as the "Company"). All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Spinnaker's operations consist of the following: CPC manufactures and sells
water-activated and pressure-sensitive carton sealing tapes; Brown-Bridge
develops, manufactures, and markets a broad line of adhesive coated
materials, which are further converted by printers and industrial users into
a variety of products for marking, labeling, promoting, decorating, and
identifying applications; and Entoleter designs, manufactures, and sells
industrial processing, and air pollution equipment. The Company's operations
are primarily in the U.S., however, $10.4 million, $3.9 million, and $806,000
of the Company's sales were export sales for the years ended December 31,
1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during each year, after giving
effect to the three-for-two stock splits. Common equivalent shares are
comprised of options and warrants to acquire common stock. Fully diluted
earnings per share did not differ significantly from primary earnings per
share in any year presented.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of less
than three months when purchased.

SPINNAKER INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." Under Statement 115, the accounting for investments depends on
the classification of such securities as either held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale, or trading. Marketable equity securities which are held
for resale in anticipation of short-term market movements are classified as
trading securities and unrealized gains and losses are included in the
results of operations. All of the Company's short-term investments are
classified as trading. The effect of this adoption was not significant to
1994 earnings.
At December 31, 1994, short-term investments were invested in United States
Treasury money market funds for which an affiliate of the Parent served as
investment manager to the respective funds.
Proceeds from sales of marketable securities were $359,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1993. The cost of marketable securities sold is determined on
the specific identification method.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable of Brown-Bridge consist principally of amounts due from
companies who convert the adhesive coated materials into end products and
comprise 46% of total accounts receivable. Accounts receivable of CPC
comprise the remaining 49% of total accounts receivable and consist
principally of amounts due from paper distributors. Accounts receivable of
Entoleter, which comprise 5% of total accounts receivable consist principally
of amounts due from foreign and domestic food processing companies. Credit is
extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and
collateral is not generally required. The Company considers
concentrations of credit risk to be minimal due to the Company's diverse
customer base. In relation to export sales, the Company requires letters of
credit supporting a significant portion of the sales price prior to
production to limit exposure to credit risk. The Company maintains an
allowance for doubtful accounts at a level that management believes is
sufficient to cover potential credit losses.
INVENTORIES
All inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Brown-Bridge's
inventory, which comprises 47% of total inventory is valued using the
specific identification method. CPC's inventory, which comprises 48% of total
inventory is valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Entoleter's
inventory, which comprises 5% of total inventory is valued using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The FIFO cost and LIFO cost of CPC's
inventory were the same at December 31, 1995.
During the fourth quarter of 1994, Entoleter wrote off $200,000 of inventory
in response to management's change in product focus. The write-off is
included in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation is
computed on the straight-line or declining balance method over the estimated
service lives of the related assets, which range from five to thirty-five
years for buildings and improvements and three to twenty years for machinery
and equipment.
F-9
<PAGE>
SPINNAKER INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets
acquired and is amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years.
Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1995 totaled $279,000. The carrying
value of goodwill is reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest it may
be impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill may not be recoverable,
as determined based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the
entity acquired, the Company's carrying value of the goodwill is reduced.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenues at the time of shipment.
INCOME TAXES
The accounts of the Company are included in the consolidated federal and
certain state income tax returns filed by its Parent. Under the terms of an
agreement for the allocation of tax liabilities among the Parent and its
operating units, the Company provides amounts in lieu of income taxes for
financial reporting purposes on a separate return basis. Amounts in lieu of
income taxes currently payable or receivable are due to or from the Parent.
The Company utilizes the liability method to account for income taxes as
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." The income tax provision differs from amounts currently
payable or receivable because certain items of income and expense are
reported for income tax purposes in periods different from those in which
they are reported in the financial statements. The tax effects of these
temporary differences are recorded as deferred income taxes.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses were $603,000, $259,000, and $90,000
in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
On February 1, 1996, the Company's board of directors adopted a resolution to
amend the articles of incorporation to increase the authorized number of
common shares to 10,000,000.
On November 14, 1995, the Directors of the Company declared a three-for-two
stock split of the Company's common shares, paid on December 29, 1995 to
shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 15, 1995. All
presentations of shares outstanding and amounts per share have been restated
to reflect the stock split.
On November 17, 1994, the Directors of the Company declared a three-for-two
stock split of the Company's common shares, paid on December 30, 1994 to
shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 1994. All
presentations of shares outstanding and amounts per share have been restated
to reflect the stock split.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued
liabilities, and short-term borrowings are carried at cost which approximates
fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair
value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on the quoted market
prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the
Company for similar debt of the same maturities. The carrying value of the
Company's long-term debt approximates its fair value at December 31, 1995 and
1994.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for its stock compensation arrangements under the
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation," was issued in October 1995 and is effective for years
beginning after December 15, 1995. The Statement establishes financial
accounting and reporting standards for stock based compensation plans.
Companies may elect to account for such plans under the fair value method or
to continue previous accounting and disclose pro forma net earnings and
earnings per share as if the fair value method was applied. The Company has
not yet determined the potential financial statement impact of this
Statement, nor has it decided how it will initially adopt this Statement.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of," which requires impairment losses to be recorded on
long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are
present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement 121 also
addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be
disposed of. The Company will adopt Statement 121 in the first quarter of
1996 and, based on current circumstances, does not believe the effect of
adoption will be material.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements to conform with the current year's presentation.
FOURTH QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS
Certain adjustments were recorded at Brown-Bridge in the fourth quarter. The
adjustments related to the capitalization of certain costs previously
expensed, recognition of additional depreciation, and a reduction in the
estimated performance plan accrual. The net effect of these adjustments was a
$390,000 increase in fourth quarter income before income taxes and minority
interest.

2. ACQUISITIONS
ACQUISITION OF BROWN-BRIDGE
On September 19, 1994, Spinnaker purchased 80.1% of Brown-Bridge Industries,
Inc., an entity formed to acquire Kimberly Clark's Brown-Bridge operation
("Brown-Bridge"), which manufacturers adhesive-coated products for labels and
related applications. The total cost of the transaction was approximately
$36 million, which included the assumption of approximately $7 million of
liabilities.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with the purchase price
allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as follows (in
thousands):
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Current assets $24,016
Property, plant and equipment 11,655
Other assets 275
Current liabilities (6,873)
-------
$29,073
-------
-------
</TABLE>
In 1995 Brown-Bridge increased the inventory reserve and allowance for
doubtful accounts by $479,000 to properly reflect the value of inventory and
receivables acquired in September 1994. These adjustments were accounted
for as a reallocation of the purchase price, resulting in a corresponding
increase to the acquired value of property, plant, and equipment.
At December 31, 1995, Brown-Bridge had a receivable from the seller totaling
$459,000 representing amounts paid by Brown-Bridge during 1995 for product
warranty liabilities that were in excess of the liability recorded on the
balance sheet on the acquisition date. Such amount is recoverable from the
seller pursuant to the purchase agreement and has been collected subsequent
to December 31, 1995.
Pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sales agreement, the Seller
retained substantially all corporate obligations, including employee-related
expenses (such as pension, health and other benefit plans), and substantially
all environmental and other contingent liabilities of Brown-Bridge relating
to periods prior to the acquisition date.
ACQUISITION OF CENTRAL PRODUCTS
Effective October 4, 1995, Central Products Acquisition Corporation entered
into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement with Unisource Worldwide, Inc. and
Alco Standard Corporation ("Alco"), which is Unisource's parent. Central
Products Acquisition Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spinnaker

4. LONG-TERM DEBT AND WORKING CAPITAL REVOLVERS
In conjunction with the acquisition of CPC, on September 29, 1995, CPC
entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), which
provides for two term loans designated as Term Loan A ($20 million) and Term
Loan B ($16 million). In addition, the Loan Agreement provides for a
revolving line of credit of up to $24 million of which $14.1 million was
outstanding at an interest rate of 9.5% at December 31, 1995. CPC has pledged
all of its capital stock to secure CPC's obligations under the agreement as
well as granted a security interest and lien on substantially all of CPC's
assets and granted mortgages on certain of its properties. The term loans
bear interest at a variable rate that is related to the Federal Reserve's
"Bank Prime Loan" rate and CPC's ratio of debt to cash flow. Interest on both
loans is payable quarterly beginning January 1996. At December 31, 1995, the
variable interest rate was 9.5% for Term Loan A and 10.5% for Term Loan B.
Principal payments on Term Loan A in amounts ranging from $375,000 to $1.5
million are due quarterly, beginning December 31, 1995 through September 29,
2002. Principal payments on Term Loan B in the amount of $2 million each are
due quarterly, beginning December 31, 2000 through September 29, 2002. CPC
is required to comply with various covenants, including interest and fixed
charge coverage, minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, and restrictions on capital expenditures and incurrence of
additional indebtedness.
As part of the Spinnaker acquisition of CPC from Alco Standard Corporation on
October 4, 1995 (see note 2) Spinnaker and CPC issued subordinated notes to
Alco in the amounts of $25 million and $5 million, respectively. The $25
million subordinated note is comprised of a $15 million subordinated
convertible note and a $10 million subordinated note. Alco also received the
right to sell the $25 million subordinated notes to Spinnaker and demand
payment (the "Put Agreements"). Lynch Corporation agreed to guarantee the
notes and provide funds for the Put Agreements. Lynch charged the Company a
guarantee fee of .05% per month of the $25 million principal amount of the
subordinated notes ($375,000 in 1995).
The $15 million subordinated convertible note issued by Spinnaker bears
interest at the rate of 8%. Interest on the note is payable semi-annually on
each March 31 and September 30. The entire principal amount and all accrued
and unpaid interest is due on March 31, 2003. The note is convertible into
Spinnaker common stock at a price equal to the weighted average of all sales
prices for Spinnaker common stock on NASDAQ for the period from September 18,
1995 through September 29, 1995 plus 10%; provided, that the conversion price
is not less than $33 per share or greater than $40 per share.
The $10 million subordinated note issued by Spinnaker bears interest at the
rate of 11% and is payable quarterly. The note requires principal payments
of $2.5 million each on September 30, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005.
The $5 million subordinated note is interest free through September 30, 1996
and thereafter interest is charged at a rate of 8%. Interest is payable
semi-annually, beginning March 31, 1997. The first principal payment of $1
million is due on December 31, 1998 with the balance due December 31, 1999 or
on December 31, 2000 if any debt that is senior to this note remains unpaid
at December 31, 1999.

4. LONG-TERM DEBT AND WORKING CAPITAL REVOLVERS (CONTINUED)
As of January 2, 1996, Alco exercised its rights under the Put Agreements to
sell the notes back to Spinnaker on January 31, 1996. Accordingly, these
notes have been classified as current in the accompanying balance sheet.
Pursuant to the agreements with Alco, the closing has been extended from
January 31, 1996 to early April 1996. Spinnaker is actively pursuing
financing alternatives, which may involve additional bank loans and the
issuance of debt and equity securities, but at the present time, neither
Spinnaker nor Lynch Corporation have sufficient funds or available capacity
under their existing financing arrangements to settle the Alco obligations
under the Put Agreements. Spinnaker has not entered into any definitive
agreements regarding the terms of any financing, and there can be no
assurance that such financing will be available on terms satisfactory to
Spinnaker. Should the Alco obligations not be satisfied, management is
unaware of the actions Alco or other lenders might take.
On September 19, 1994, Brown-Bridge entered into a Loan and Security
Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), which provides for a term loan of $9
million. The loan is due in various installments over a five year period,
including monthly payments beginning in July 1995 and certain mandatory
prepayments. Interest is payable monthly at 1.25% over the lender's base
rate, as defined. At December 31, 1995 the lender's base rate was 8.5%.
Brown-Bridge is required to comply with various covenants, including interest
and fixed charge coverage and minimum levels of operating earnings, as well
as restrictions on the payment of dividends to Spinnaker. All assets of
Brown-Bridge have been pledged as security under the Loan Agreement.
In 1988, Entoleter borrowed $1.1 million from a bank, under the terms of a
mortgage agreement. Terms of the mortgage note required monthly payments of
$10,000, which included interest at 10%, through July 1994. In July 1994,
the interest rate was adjusted to 9 1/4%. The entire outstanding balance at
July 1, 1997 becomes due and payable on demand.
The terms of the mortgage include covenants that provide, among other things,
a limitation on the amount of annual dividends payable by Entoleter. At
December 31, 1995, under the most restrictive covenant, there were no
retained earnings available for the payment of dividends from Entoleter to
Spinnaker. At December 31, 1995, certain real property of Entoleter (net
carrying value of $420,000) is pledged as collateral to secure the mortgage.
The following is a summary of the Company's long-term debt at December 31,
1995 and 1994:

The Company also maintains short-term lines of credit with banks for working
capital needs at each subsidiary that aggregate $45.5 million. The Company
had cash advances of approximately $27 million outstanding under the lines of
credit as of December 31, 1995. Interest on all outstanding borrowings bear
interest at variable rates related to the prime interest rate or the lender's
base rate. At December 31, 1995, the interest rates in effect ranged from
8.5% to 11%. At December 31, 1994, the interest rate in effect on the
Company's short-term lines of credit was 8.5%. Credit availability under the
lines of credit are subject to certain variables, such as the amount of
inventory and receivables eligible to be included in the borrowing base.
These lines are secured by the operating assets of the Company's
subsidiaries.
The Company is required to comply with various covenants including a
limitation on capital expenditures, interest and fixed charge coverage, and
minimum levels of operating earnings, as well as various other financial
covenants. Certain of the lines of credit allow for the issuance of letters
of credit and require the payment of a fee based upon the face amount of each
letter of credit issued. The line of credit agreements expire in 1997 for
Entoleter, 2000 for CPC, and 1999 for Brown-Bridge.
Certain agreements with its lenders impose restrictions on the ability of the
Company or the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends. At December 31, 1995
and 1994, there were no amounts available for the payment of dividends to
Spinnaker or Spinnaker's shareholders.
Financing costs were incurred by Brown-Bridge and CPC in conjunction with
their respective acquisitions and the related debt that was incurred. These
financing costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt.
Unamortized financing costs of $2,200,000 and $259,000 at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively, are included in other assets.
Interest paid in 1995, 1994, and 1993 on all outstanding borrowings amounted
to approximately $3.6 million, $520,000, and $100,000, respectively.
5. NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES
Notes payable to related parties comprise two promissory notes, the first in
the amount of $964,950 is payable to the Parent and the second in the amount
of $321,650 is payable to an entity affiliated with Richard J. Boyle and Ned
N. Fleming III ("BF"), the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and
President, respectively. The notes payable to the Parent and BF bear interest
computed at 18% per annum. The amount of accrued interest for both notes at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 amounted to $231,000 and $67,000, respectively.
These notes, including interest, are due and payable on September 16, 1997.

CENTRAL PRODUCTS COMPANY
Pursuant to the CPC acquisition agreement, CPC assumed sponsorship of a
defined benefit pension plan for union employees per their collective
bargaining agreement and also agreed to establish a new defined benefit plan
for non-union employees hired by CPC. The seller retained the defined benefit
pension obligation for non-union retirees as of September 30, 1995 and any
non-union employees not hired by CPC.
The acquisition agreement requires the seller to transfer assets to the CPC
plans equal to the present value of accrued benefits as of September 30, 1995
as defined in the agreement plus a defined rate of interest to the transfer
date. Accordingly, CPC has not recorded the unfunded projected benefit
obligation as a liability when recording the purchase accounting entries.
CPC had not established a plan for the non-union employees as of December 31,
1995. CPC intends to establish a plan early in 1996 with the same benefits
provided by the seller's plan. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, CPC
will grant credit to the employees for all service with the seller through
September 30, 1995, plus the benefits they accrue under the new plan from
October 1, 1995 through their retirement or termination. The benefit
obligation and the net periodic pension cost information as of and for the
three months ended December 31, 1995 have been calculated assuming the new
plan had been established on October 1, 1995.

CPC assumed sponsorship of a 401(k) plan for union employees. This plan does
not require any contributions from CPC. CPC intends to establish a defined
contribution plan for non-union employees in 1996.
BROWN-BRIDGE
Brown-Bridge has a defined contribution plan that covers substantially all of
its employees. Under the plan, Brown-Bridge can match, at its discretion, a
portion of employee contributions not exceeding 8% of the employee's
compensation. Amounts contributed to the plan by Brown-Bridge are 20% vested
each year for five years. On the acquisition date, employees of Brown-Bridge
who were previously employed by Kimberly-Clark Corporation received vesting
rights based on the years of credited service with Kimberly-Clark
Corporation. Brown-Bridge recorded expense for its contributions under the
plan of $417,000 and $111,000, in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

8. INCOME TAXES
The Company is included in the consolidated income tax return filed by its
Parent. The Company has a payable to the Parent for federal income taxes of
$277,000 at December 31, 1995 and a receivable from the Parent for federal
income taxes of $70,000 at December 31, 1994. Under the terms of a tax
sharing agreement with its Parent, Spinnaker can only utilize its net
operating loss carryforwards to the extent it has taxable income.
Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded in conjunction with the
adoption of Statement 109 as of January 1, 1993 to offset the deferred tax
asset. In 1995, the Company eliminated the $279,000 valuation allowance
related to the deferred tax asset because it generated sufficient taxable
income to utilize the deductible temporary differences. During 1994 the
Company utilized approximately $257,000 of tax operating loss carryforwards.
Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the
financial statement and tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities.
Temporary differences consist primarily of differences in tax and book
depreciation methods and lives and the timing of the deductibility of
certain expenses. Cumulative differences at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Lynch Corporation provides the Company with certain management services,
which include executive, financial and accounting, planning, budgeting, tax,
legal, and insurance services. In connection therewith, the Company
incurred management service costs of $100,000 per year for 1995, 1994, and
1993.
On June 13, 1994, the Company and BF entered into a Management Agreement (the
Management Agreement) pursuant to which BF agreed to provide management
services to the Company. The Management Agreement has an initial term of one
year, and is automatically renewable for a term of one additional year unless
either party gives notice of termination. The Management Agreement is
terminable on 90 days notice by either party. BF received management fees of
$200,000 and $112,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively, plus reimbursement of
expenses. Effective January 1, 1996, the management fee has been increased to
$400,000 per year. The Company and BF also entered into a Warrant Purchase
Agreement in 1994, pursuant to which BF received warrants to purchase 678,945
shares of Common Stock at any time on or before June 10, 1999, subject to
certain restrictions and the continuation of the Management Agreement, at
$2.67 per share (adjusted for the 3 for 2 stock splits effective December 29,
1995 and December 30, 1994). In connection therewith, the Company received
the right to 25% of any future fee income earned by BF and the right to
participate in 25% of any future transaction entered into by BF. The Company
also has the right to repurchase the warrants if certain events occur. BF may
also, on the occurrence of an equity offering by the Company, receive warrants
to acquire additional shares of the Company.
During 1994, Brown-Bridge granted certain of its key executives options to
purchase up to 71,065 shares of Brown-Bridge's common stock at various prices
between $7.16 and $14.69 per share. Brown-Bridge currently has 1 million
shares of common stock outstanding. The options become exercisable (i) in
cumulative installments of one-fifth each year if certain levels of
profitability, as defined in the plan, are met, or (ii) 7 years from the date
of grant. The options were issued at not less than 100% of the fair market
value of the common stock at the date of grant. At December 31, 1995 14,213
options were exercisable. None of the options were exercisable at
December 31, 1994.
