PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS
- ----------------

               General Magnaplate  Corporation (the "Registrant") is principally
engaged in applying,  through various proprietary and other processes,  coatings
which cannot chip,  peel or rub off and which  increase the hardness,  corrosion
resistance,  wear  resistance  and/or  lubricity of metal parts  produced by its
customers.

               The  Registrant  applies  coatings  to  aluminum,  steel,  copper
alloys,  titanium,  magnesium and other special alloys. Depending on the results
sought,  these coatings are more  resistant to corrosion,  more durable and have
lower friction  characteristics  than the metals to which they are applied.  The
Registrant terms its coatings  "Synergistic" because they apply several types of
materials or metals to the base metal to form a composite  coating which is then
infused to become an integral part of the underlying  metal. The composition and
thickness of the coatings are  controllable  and thus can be varied according to
the characteristics  which the Registrant's  customers need for the required end
product.  Because the coatings  change the surface  qualities of the base metal,
they can permit the use, in some  applications,  of underlying  metals which are
less  expensive,  easier to shape or lighter  than other  metals or alloys  with
similar qualities.

               The Registrant's  names for its main  proprietary  processes are:
TUFRAM for  aluminum,  NEDOX for most  metals,  MAGNAPLATE  HMF for most metals,
MAGNAPLATE  HCR for aluminum,  CANADIZE for titanium,  MAGNADIZE for  magnesium,
LECTROFLUOR  for all  metals,  HI-T-LUBE  a  specialized  dry  film  lubrication
coating,  PLASMADIZE,  a composite coating for extreme wear application for most
metals,  MAGNAGOLD,  an enhanced titanium nitride PVD coating for various metals
and  ultra-hard  alloy  steels to  increase  surface  hardness,  GOLDENEDGE,  an
ultra-hard,  ultra-thin  TiN PVD coating for blades and all  sharp-edged  tools,
MAGNAPLATE HTR, for superior high temperature release on all metals, MAGNAGLIDE,
a coating  developed for the exclusive use by Black & Decker for its irons,  and
Magnaplate CMPT, a robotically  controlled  toolface  production  process.  Each
proprietary  process  consists of a number of variations that can be employed to
meet customer  requirements.  The Registrant has obtained trademark coverage for
fifteen of these proprietary  processes in the United States and on most of them
in certain  foreign  countries.  Sales and licensing of coatings using these and
other   proprietary   processes  have  represented   approximately  95%  of  the
Registrant's  total operating  revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.

               The Registrant handles each job on a "custom" basis, according to
each  customer's  specifications.  Items  coated vary greatly in size and shape.
Production runs vary from a few to thousands. Prices for coating services depend
on the  length  of the  production  run,  the  complexity  of the work and other
factors  associated with custom work. The Registrant's  coatings are used in the
machine tool, food processing,  packaging,  defense, aerospace,  pharmaceutical,
pulp and paper,  oil service  and  electronics  industries,  as well as in other
industries which use metal parts.

               The  Registrant  is in one  line  of  business,  i.e.,  providing
synergistic coatings and other related services to its customers' products.

               Financial  information  relating  to  foreign  operations  is  as
follows:

               The  Company  has  invested  net assets of  $271,850 in its Ajax,
Ontario operation as of June 30, 1999.
<PAGE>
               Foreign operations (principally Canada) constitute 7.5%, 8.1% and
10.0% of total sales in the three years  ending  June 30,  1997,  1998 and 1999,
respectively.  Foreign  operations  constitute  3.5%,  and 0%, and 0% of pre-tax
profits for the three years ended June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

Marketing
- ---------

               The Registrant markets its metal coating services through a staff
of twenty four technical  market support  personnel,  including six  independent
representatives  operating from its facilities in New Jersey, Texas,  Wisconsin,
California  and  Canada.  New  customers  also  come to the  Registrant  through
advertising,  trade  shows,  seminars,  our web site and  editorial  coverage in
numerous trade journals and referrals from the Registrant's customers.

               The Registrant's marketing, operation, management and engineering
staffs  include  persons who have  training in  metallurgy  and other  technical
fields.  The  Registrant's  objective is to work with customers and  prospective
customers in the early stages of the design and  specification  process,  with a
view toward  obtaining  production  contracts for the coating of the items being
designed.  Coatings initially developed for one customer are, in some instances,
sold by the Registrant to other customers.

               For  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  30,  1999 , no one  customer
accounted for more than 10% of the total revenues of the Registrant.

Research and Development
- ------------------------

               The  metal   coatings   industry   is   characterized   by  rapid
technological  changes requiring the Registrant to make continuing  expenditures
for  development  of new coatings and the  improvement  of existing  coatings in
order to meet customer needs.

               During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Registrant  spent
an estimated $75,000 on unreimbursed research and development.  Additional costs
incurred were paid by customers  requiring special coatings and treatments.  All
costs  associated  with the development of new processes and the maintenance and
enhancement  of existing  processes  are charged  against  income as incurred or
borne by the customer in the form of contracts.

License Agreements
- ------------------

               The  Registrant  has  licensing  agreements  with  the  following
overseas  organizations:  Ulvac Techno,  Ltd. (Japan),  YTTEC AB (Sweden),  A.T.
Poeton & Sons,  Ltd.  (United  Kingdom),  MIFA  Aluminum BV  (Netherlands),  and
Nussbaum  (Germany).  The Company will continue  seeking  additional  licensees.
Since  inception,  several of these  licensees have increased  their  processing
capabilities by taking licenses for additional proprietary processes.

               The Registrant  receives  periodic  royalty  payments under these
agreements based on sales of products to which  Registrant's  coating technology
is applied.  The agreements also provide for two-way exchange of new and related
technology developed by Registrant and licensees.

               The Registrant  has an exclusive  worldwide  licensing  agreement
with Household  Products,  Inc.  (Black & Decker) in connection with irons using
the MAGNAGLIDE process technology and name.
<PAGE>
               The  contributions  of the licensees  amounted to 3% of the gross
revenue of the Registrant and are expected to continue to rise.

Competition
- -----------

               The metal coatings industry is highly competitive. There are many
companies  which  provide  metal  treatments  which,  to  varying  extents,  are
alternatives to the Registrant's  processes.  However,  the Registrant  believes
that none of the  Registrant's  competitors  utilize  processes  similar  to the
Registrant's  proprietary  processes.  The Registrant  believes that it competes
primarily  on the basis of its  manufacturing  expertise,  its  superior  proven
processes and coatings,  and its  reputation for problem  solving,  and that its
pricing is a less significant competitive consideration than these factors.

Raw Materials
- -------------

               The  Registrant's  primary raw materials are chemicals,  polymers
and powdered or wire metals  manufactured  by large chemical and metal companies
and are readily  available.  The  Registrant  blends these raw  materials in its
proprietary  processes.  The  Registrant  believes  that  sources  of supply are
adequate for its needs and that it is not  substantially  dependent upon any one
supplier.

Protection of Proprietary Information
- -------------------------------------

               Many of the  Company's  processes  are no  longer  covered  under
patent protection, however, several new patents have been filed on processes for
surface  treatments  in the US and in  key  foreign  nations.  While  management
believes  that its existing  patents  have had  competitive  merit,  it does not
believe that patent  protection  is essential to the ongoing  operations  of the
Registrant due to the know-how it has developed over the past years.

               The  Registrant  has  acquired 17 United  States  trademarks  and
servicemarks,  and 13 foreign trademarks and servicemarks.  These trademarks and
servicemarks cover 15 of the Registrant's processes in the United States and one
or more of the  Registrant's  processes  in Canada and the  European  Community.
While management  believes these  trademarks and  servicemarks  have competitive
merit,  it does  not  believe  that  trademark  and  servicemark  protection  is
essential to the ongoing operations of the Registrant.

               Many processes  cannot be patented due to cost and limited market
potential. Also, the patenting process can be expensive and can result in public
disclosure of  proprietary  information.  Therefore,  the  Registrant's  present
approach  is to treat  its  production  processes  as  confidential  and rely on
internal   non-disclosure   safeguards,    including   written   confidentiality
agreements,  particularly among its more technically  trained personnel,  and on
trade  secret  laws,  as well as on  restrictions  incorporated  in its  license
agreements for protection of what it regards as  proprietary  information  about
its coatings and processes.  Notwithstanding  these efforts,  it may be possible
for competitors to duplicate or copy the Registrant's processes.

Employees
- ---------

               At June 30, 1999, the  Registrant  had 133 employees,  of whom 14
were employed in marketing and sales operations,  23 in administration and 96 in
production and quality assurance.
<PAGE>
               None  of the  Registrant's  employees  in any of its  plants  are
represented  by labor unions.  Management  believes that its relations  with its
employees are good.


Environmental, Safety and Health Matters
- ----------------------------------------

               The  Registrant  believes it is currently in material  compliance
with all federal, state and local environmental  protection laws and federal and
state occupational safety and health standards,  non-compliance with which would
have a material  adverse effect upon the  Registrant's  assets or its results of
operation.  Capital  expenditures  made by the  Registrant for  enhancement  and
improvement   of   environmental,   health   and  safety   systems   represented
approximately 4% of the Registrant's  revenues,  and the Registrant  anticipates
that such expenditures will not exceed that level for the foreseeable  future to
meet existing  federal,  state and local laws and standards.  Changes in current
laws and standards could require  additional  expenditures  and adversely affect
the Registrant's operations and profitability.


Item 2. PROPERTIES
- ------------------

               The  Registrant's  corporate  executive  offices and a production
facility are located in a modern,  one story,  high ceiling,  steel and concrete
structure, with an attached two story administrative and office area, located at
1331 U.S. Route 1, Linden,  New Jersey.  The Registrant  owns this structure and
the  approximately 4 acres of land on which it is located.  Total square footage
within the structure is approximately 100,000 square feet.  Approximately 30% of
the premises is leased to an unrelated party. Title is unencumbered.

               In  November  1982,  the  Registrant,  through  its  wholly-owned
subsidiary,  Candida Realty Texas, purchased a manufacturing facility, including
executive  offices,  in Arlington,  Texas (in the Dallas/Fort  Worth area). This
property consists of a modern, one story,  cinder block and concrete  structure,
containing  approximately 37,500 square feet of space located on approximately 2
acres of land. Title is unencumbered.

               In 1989,  the  Registrant,  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary
Candida Realty Texas,  purchased a modern one story brick and concrete structure
containing 30,401 square feet of office and manufacturing  facility on 2.2 acres
in Arlington, Texas, and which property is adjacent to the existing plant of the
Registrant's Arlington operation. Title is unencumbered.

               In 1980, the  Registrant,  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,
Candida  Realty  California,  purchased  a  production  and office  facility  in
Ventura,  California,  consisting of 4 modern, 1 story, concrete block and steel
buildings,  which contain a total of  approximately  32,000 square feet of space
located on approximately 2 acres of land. Title is unencumbered.

               On December 28, 1989, the Registrant  acquired  certain assets of
Ra-Tech Inc., a Racine,  Wisconsin  based hard anodizing metal  specialist.  The
operations were  incorporated  under the name of General  Magnaplate  Wisconsin,
Inc., a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of  Registrant.  During the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1991, the  Registrant,  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Candida
<PAGE>
Realty  Wisconsin,  Inc.,  acquired  16,000 square feet of production and office
space in a building  located on over 2.5 acres,  into which  General  Magnaplate
Wisconsin,  Inc. moved in October,  1991.  During the fiscal year ended June 30,
1997 the  registrant  completed a 7,550 square foot  expansion and renovation of
this facility. Title is unencumbered.

               On January 2, 1990 the Registrant  acquired the operating  assets
of Dynasurf  International,  Inc., an Ontario,  Canada based hard metal coatings
specialist.  The operations were incorporated  under the name General Magnaplate
Canada,  Ltd., a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Registrant.  During the fiscal year
ended June 30,  1998,  the  registrant  acquired  a modern  19,000  square  foot
facility  located in Ajax,  Ontario.  The  building's  production  area is a one
story, high ceiling, steel and cinder block structure with an attached two story
office area situated on approximately 3 acres.  During the same fiscal year, the
registrant  completed a 2,000  square  foot,  one story  steel and cinder  block
addition  onto the existing  structure.  Title to this property is subject to an
existing mortgage.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -------------------------

               Although the Company may from time to time be involved in routine
litigation  incidental  to its  business,  none of these  actions are  expected,
individually  or in the  aggregate,  to have a material  adverse impact upon the
Company or its results of operations.

Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
- -----------------------------------------------------------

               No matters were  submitted to a vote of security  holders  during
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999.

Item 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                AND  FINANCIAL CONDITION

Business Environment

               General   Magnaplate   Corporation  is  principally   engaged  in
applying, through various proprietary and other processes,  synergistic coatings
for metal parts produced by its customers. Rapid technological advances, typical
of the coatings industry, compel General Magnaplate to improve existing coatings
or  develop  new  processes  to meet  our  customers'  changing  needs  and stay
competitive.

               Management  believes  that it competes  primarily on the basis of
manufacturing expertise, its superior proven proprietary processes and coatings,
and  its  reputation  for  problem  solving,  and  that  its  pricing  is a less
significant  competitive  consideration than these factors.  Management believes
that these factors are responsible for the Company's financial stability.

Financial Condition
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Three Years Ended June 30, 1999

         Cash and cash  equivalents  increased to $706,187 at June 30, 1999 from
$680,570 at June 30, 1996.  Of the total cash and cash  equivalents,  $6,309,233
net  cash was  provided  by the  operating  activities,  $3,270,566  was used in
investing activities and $3,013,050 was used by financing activities. During the
three year period,  the Registrant's  cash provided by operating  activities was
principally  comprised of $ 4,427,852  provided by net income,  $ 1,917,067  for
depreciation and amortization,  $453,300 for accrued deferred compensation and a
$372,917  decrease in Marketable  Securities,  while  primarily being reduced by
accounts  payable and accrued  liabilities  of  $485,805.  During the three year
period,  the  Registrant's  investment  activities  were primarily  comprised of
$2,811,478  for  additions to  property,  plant and  equipment,  and patents and
trademarks,  $123,734 used for additions to deferred compensation  contracts and
$339,126 for additions to cash surrender  value-life  insurance,  while $536,672
was provided from the collection of a note receivable from an affiliated  party.
The increase in net cash used in financing  activities was principally  from the
acquisition  of treasury  stock  $1,998,531  and the payment of  dividends  of $
1,357,927.

          Working capital of $5,952,123 increased $283,182,  or 5.0%, during the
three year period ended June 30, 1999 and the working capital ratio increased to
10.86 to 1 from 6.31 to 1 as of June 30, 1996. The working capital increased due
to the net effect of the increase in the mark to market value of the  marketable
securities  portfolio,  the  increase  in  Accounts  Receivables-trade,  net  of
allowance for doubtful  accounts and the paydown of Accounts Payable and accrued
liabilities.

               All per share numbers give retroactive effect to the December 16,
1997 two for one forward stock split. Stockholders' equity per share at June 30,
1999 increased $.42 to $2.56 per share compared with $2.50,  $2.33, and $2.14 at
June 30, 1998,  1997, and 1996,  respectively.  The increase is primarily due to
the excess  income  earned over  dividends  paid and the cost of treasury  stock
acquired  for the three year  period.  As  previously  authorized  by the Board,
548,748 shares of GMCC stock were purchased in the three year period at the cost
<PAGE>
of  $2,246,860.  Of the  repurchased  shares,  350,800  shares were  retired and
canceled while the remaining  197,948 are currently  being held in the treasury,
leaving the Company with 4,720,846  shares  outstanding at June 30, 1999.  Under
the  Registrant's   current  buyback  program,  the  Company  is  authorized  to
repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time up to the total purchase
price of  $1,500,000.  The Company has  purchased  $982,825 in shares  under the
current program.

               Management  believes  internal cash flow from  operations  and/or
incomes  from  marketable  securities  to be  sufficient  to provide the capital
resources  necessary to support future  operating  needs, and does not currently
anticipate  material capital  expenditures that will have significant  impact on
future cash flows.

Results of Operations Fiscal 1999 vs. 1998 vs. 1997
- ---------------------------------------------------

               Total revenue for 1999 of  $11,484,476  represented a decrease of
$235,855,  or  2.0%,  over  1998  revenue,  while  total  revenue  for  1998 was
$11,720,331, an increase of $266,673 or 2.3% over 1997.

               The  decrease  in total  revenue  for 1999 over  1998  represents
decreases in sales of $410,301 or 3.8% and royalty and licensee income of $6,053
or 1.8%,  partially  offset by an increase  in  investment  and other  income of
$180,499 or 35.2%.

               The increase in total  revenue for 1998 over 1997  resulted  from
increases  in sales of  $299,070  or 2.8% and  royalty  and  licensee  income of
$47,335 or 10.2%,  partially offset by a decrease in investment and other income
of $79,732 or 18.8%.

               Sales for 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $10,453,071,  $10,863,372, and
$10,564,302, respectively,  representing approximately 91%, 93% and 92% of total
revenue  in each  respective  year.  Sales at the  Canadian  facility  increased
$167,856.  The New Jersey, Texas,  California and Wisconsin facilities had lower
sales this year compared to the same period in 1998. The slight decline in sales
for the New Jersey facility is attributable  to a general  industrial  slowdown.
The reduced  sales for the Texas  facility  reflect  continued low levels of oil
exploration  due to the low price of crude oil  experienced  during the quarter.
Although crude oil prices have increased recently,  the Company has not yet seen
an increased  level of exploration  activity in its  Southwestern  United States
market.  Oil drilling and related suppliers  represent a significant  portion of
the  customer  base for the Texas  facility.  Reduced  sales for the  California
facility reflect slowdowns in the airframe and electronics  industries served by
the plant,  caused both by the Asian  economic  crises,  which slowed  orders of
parts for  items  such as  aircraft,  and the  continued  decrease  in  military
contracting.  The Wisconsin  facility's  main customer base is in the food,  and
pulp and paper industries which currently are not expanding their  manufacturing
plants,  resulting in no expenditures for our surface enhancement processes used
on new equipment. Sales for the fiscal year ended 1998 compared with 1997 showed
increased  sales at New Jersey,  Texas,  and  Canadian  facilities  of $479,512,
$1,207 and $89,291  respectively.  The  decreased  sales at the  California  and
Wisconsin  facilities for the year ended 1998 as compared to the year ended 1997
reflect the same factors  discussed  above in the  comparison of the years ended
1999 and 1998.
<PAGE>
               Royalty and  license  income was  $337,528  in 1999,  $343,581 in
1998,  and $423,313 in 1997.  The decrease in current year royalties of 1.8%, or
$6,053 as  compared  with the year  ended  1998,  is the  result of the  Company
receiving the final  licensee fee payment of $50,000 in 1998 from Black & Decker
for the exclusive use of the Company's  trademark name Magnaglide.  There was no
comparable  payment from Black & Decker in 1999. In addition,  the decrease from
1997 versus 1998 of 18.8%, or $79,732, is directly attributed to the decrease in
royalties from our Japanese  licensee and the impact of the turmoil  experienced
during 1998 in the Asian market on their business.

               Investment income for 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $693,877,  $513,378
and $466,043,  respectively.  Investment income increased 35.1%, or $180,499 for
the year  ended  1999  compared  to the same  period  in  1998,  reflecting  the
continuing upward movement in investment  markets during the twelve months ended
June 30, 1999.  Investment income increased 10.2%, or $47,335, in the year ended
1998 as  compared  to the same  period  in  1997,  reflecting  the same  factors
discussed for the year ended 1999. The Company maintains an investment portfolio
to enhance  earnings and provide  liquidity for future cash needs. The portfolio
is composed of equity  securities,  U.S. Treasury  Securities and obligations of
U.S. Government agencies and government sponsored entities, and corporate debt.

               The  Company  has  adopted  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting
Standards  No.  115,  Accounting  for  Certain  Investments  in Debt and  Equity
Securities,(SFAS  115). Under SFAS 115,  securities are classified as securities
held to maturity based on management's  intent and the Company's ability to hold
them to maturity.  Such securities are stated at cost,  adjusted for unamortized
purchase premiums and discounts. Securities that are bought and held principally
for the  purpose  of  selling  them in the near term are  classified  as trading
securities,  which are carried at market  value.  Realized  gains and losses and
gains and losses from  marking the  portfolio  to market  value are  included in
investment  income.  Securities not classified as securities held to maturity or
trading  securities  are  classified as securities  available for sale,  and are
stated at fair value.  Unrealized  gains and losses on securities  available for
sale are  excluded  from results of  operations,  and are reported as a separate
component  of  stockholders'  equity,  net of taxes.  Securities  classified  as
available for sale include securities that may be sold in response to changes in
interest rates, changes in prepayment risks, or other similar circumstances.

          Management determines the appropriate  classification of securities at
the  time  of  purchase.  At  June  30,  1999  all of the  Company's  investment
securities were classified as trading securities.

               The  $180,499  increase in  investment  income for the year ended
1999  versus  the 1998  year is  primarily  attributable  to the mark to  market
adjustments to the portfolio.  Although the Company's portfolio will continue to
be  subject  to  market  changes,  management  believes  the  portfolio  is well
diversified  and is a prudent cash  management  tool for investing the Company=s
excess cash.  The $47,335  increase for the year ended 1998 versus 1997 reflects
the same factors discussed above.

               As a result of the factors discussed above, gross revenue for the
year ended 1999 totaled $11,484,476, a decrease of 2.0%, or $235,855 as compared
to the fiscal year ended  1998.  Gross  Revenue for the year ended 1998  totaled
$11,720,331, an increase of 2.3% or $266,673 versus the fiscal year ended 1997.
<PAGE>
               Total costs and expenses  were  $9,542,521 in the year ended June
30, 1999, an increase of $54,600 or 0.6% as compared to 1998. Primary components
of costs and  expenses  included  costs of sales of  $5,015,361,  an increase of
$295,464 over cost of sales of $4,719,897 for the same period last year, selling
and administration expense of $3,829,047, a decline of $232,785 from selling and
administrative  expenses  of  $4,061,832  in the same  period of last year,  and
depreciation and amortization  expenses of $667,557, an increase of $19,436 over
depreciation  and  amortization  expenses of $648,121 in the same period of last
year.  The  increase  in the  costs of sales  reflects  increased  prices in raw
material  costs and higher  production  wages,  and the  decline in selling  and
administrative  expenses reflects the Company's  reduced sales.  Total costs and
expenses  for the  fiscal  year  ended  1998 were  $9,487,921,  representing  an
increase  of  $567,970  over  1997.  Primary  components  of costs and  expenses
included in 1998 included cost of sales of  $4,719,897,  an increase of $301,649
as  compared  to  total  costs  of sales of  $4,418,248  in  1997,  selling  and
administration  expenses of  $4,061,832 , an increase of $161,752  over the same
period in 1997,  and  depreciation  and  amortization  expense  of  $648,121  an
increase of $46,732  compared to the same period in 1997. The higher selling and
administrative  costs in 1998 are attributable to the increased sales during the
period.  Costs of sales  increased for higher raw material prices as well as the
increase in sales.  As a percentage of total  revenue,  total costs and expenses
wre 83.1% in 1999, 80.9% in 1998, and 77.9% in 1997. The increase in total costs
and expenses is primarily due to increases in raw material  costs,  increases in
depreciation from adding Plasmadize processing lines at the Wisconsin plant, and
higher  labor  costs due to the  addition  of sales  staff and low  unemployment
rates.

               Income before corporate income taxes was $1,941,955 in the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of 13.0%,  or $290,455 from the  $2,232,410
achieved in the same period 1998.

               Income  before  corporate  income taxes for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1998 was $2,232,410, a decrease of 11.9%, or $301,297 from 1997 income.
Corporate  income taxes and the  effective  tax rate for 1999 were  $683,750 and
35.2%, respectively, in 1998, $757,450 and 33.9% and $839,020 and 33.1% in 1997.

               Based on the above,  net income in the fiscal  year ended 1999 of
$1,258,205 decreased $216,755 or 14.7% from the $1,474,960 in the same period of
1998. Net income  decreased  $219,727 or 13.0% for the fiscal year ended 1998 as
compared to net income of $1,694,687 for fiscal year ended 1997.

               Earnings  per share in 1999,  1998 and 1997 were  $.26,  $.30 and
$.33,  respectively.  In the  current  year,  186,948  shares of GMCC stock were
purchased and are being held in the treasury. During 1998, 15,000 shares of GMCC
stock  were  purchased  and  placed  in  treasury,  4,000 of these  shares  were
subsequently issued as employee compensation and the remaining 11,000 shares are
still being held in the  treasury.  During the fiscal  year ended 1997,  350,800
shares of  treasury  stock were  canceled  and  retired,  resulting  in weighted
average shares  outstanding of 4,803,495,  4,913,635 and 5,089,124 in 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

Year 2000
- ---------

          The  Company  has  recognized  the need to  ensure  that its  computer
systems will not be adversely  affected by the upcoming  calendar year 2000. The
Company has assessed how it may be impacted by Year 2000 and has  formulated and
commenced  implementation of a comprehensive plan to address known issues to its
computer  systems.  The plan,  as it relates  to  computer  systems,  involves a
combination of software modification,  upgrades and replacement.  The accounting
<PAGE>
software  has  already  been  upgraded at this time,  at a cost of $12,000.  The
Company  estimates that any additional costs of Year 2000 compliance will not be
material.  However,  the  Company  cannot  measure the impact that the Year 2000
issue will have on its  vendors,  suppliers,  customers  and other  parties with
which it conducts business.


Market Risk
- -----------

          The  Company's  Canadian  operations  expose the Company to  potential
foreign  currency  exchange  risk on cash flows  related to sales,  expenses and
financing transactions.  The Company believes its exposure to currency rate risk
is not  material,  and the Company has not used currency  exchange  contracts to
address this risk.


Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
- ---------------------------------------------------

               The accompanying  Consolidated  Financial  Statements and related
Schedules of the Registrant and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  have been filed
with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and are  filed as part of this
report.

               All other schedules for which provision is made in the applicable
accounting  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  are  not
required under the related instructions or are not applicable and have therefore
been omitted.

Item 9. DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

               There has been no change of accountants nor any disagreements.

are as follows:

                     Name             Age           Position
                     ----             ---           --------

                          COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A)
                     OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

               Section  16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934  requires
Registrant's  officers and directors,  and persons who own more than ten percent
of a registered class of the Registrant's equity securities,  to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange  Commission.
Officers,  directors and greater than ten percent  stockholders  are required by
regulation of the Securities  and Exchange  Commission to furnish the Registrant
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

               Based  solely on its review of the copies of such forms  received
by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5
were required for those persons, the Registrant believes that, during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1999,  all filing  requirements  applicable to its officers,
directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were met.


Item 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
- -------------------------------

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------


To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
    General Magnaplate Corporation:

               We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of
General Magnaplate Corporation and Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1999
and  June  30,  1998  and  the  related   consolidated   statements  of  income,
stockholders'  equity,  and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 1999. Our audits also included the financial  statement  schedule
listed  in  the  index  at  Item  14(a).  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 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 statement. 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,  such consolidated  financial  statements present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the  financial  position of the Company and
Wholly-Owned  Subsidiaries at June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998 and the results of
their  operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
June 30, 1999, in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,  when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,  presents fairly
in all material respects the information set forth therein.

                                         /s/ Mauriello, Franklin & LoBrace, P.C.

Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- --------------------------------------------------

Principles of Consolidation

               The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of
General Magnaplate  Corporation and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries;  accordingly
all   intercompany   transactions   and  balances   have  been   eliminated   in
consolidation.

Nature of Business

               The  Company  provides  synergistic  coatings  and other  related
services to  commercial  customers'  products  from five  plants  located in the
United  States  and  Canada.  In  addition  it has  licensed  its  patented  and
proprietary processes to foreign licensees.

Marketable Securities
- ---------------------

               All marketable  securities are considered  trading securities and
are valued at fair market value in  accordance  with FASB No. 115.  Realized and
unrealized  gains  and  losses  are  reported  in  current  period  income.  Net
unrealized holding gains (losses) on trading securities of $33,884, $29,183, and
$31,915, were reported for the years 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.  Market
value  exceeded  cost  by  $94,604  and  $60,719  at  June  30,  1999  and  1998
respectively.

Inventories
- -----------

               Inventories   consist  principally  of  industrial  supplies  and
coating  solutions  which are valued at the lower of FIFO cost or market and are
included in Cost of Sales.

Depreciation and Amortization
- -----------------------------

               Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciation
is provided  principally on a straight line basis using estimated  service lives
of 5 years for  transportation  equipment,  5-10 years for factory machinery and
office  equipment,  and 10-39 years for  buildings  and  building  improvements.
Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. Items of identifiable
property which are sold,  retired, or otherwise disposed of are removed from the
asset accounts, and any gains or losses thereon are reflected in income.

               Patents and  trademarks  are  amortized on a straight  line basis
over periods not exceeding 10 years.

Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Corporate Income Taxes
- ----------------------

               Taxes  are  provided  based  on  income  reported  for  financial
statement purposes,  including deferred taxes which are principally provided due
to temporary  differences between financial and tax reporting of certain revenue
and expense items.

Company Earnings Per Share
- --------------------------

               Earnings  per share of common stock have been  computed  based on
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting periods.

Statement of Cash Flows
- -----------------------

               For  purposes  of  the  statement  of  cash  flows,  the  Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments  purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
- ---------------------------------------

               Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary  operating in Canada are
translated  into U.S.  dollars  using the exchange rate in effect at the balance
sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rate
prevailing  throughout the period.  The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on
translating  foreign  currency  assets and  liabilities  into U.S.  dollars  are
included  as part of the  Accumulated  Other  Comprehensive  Loss  component  of
shareholders'  equity,  while gains and losses  resulting from foreign  currency
transactions are generally included in income.

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 reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date of  financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications
- -----------------

               Certain  amounts in the 1998  consolidated  financial  statements
have been reclassified to conform with the 1999 presentation.

Litigation
- ----------

               In April,  1991, a claim was served on the  Canadian  subsidiary,
General Magnaplate Canada,  Ltd., by Dynasurf  International,  Inc. for $170,000
representing  the unpaid  contract  liability for the net assets acquired by the
Canadian  subsidiary from the sellers,  Carrigan  Industries,  Ltd. and Dynasurf
International,  Inc.  on January 2, 1990.  Further,  a  shareholder  of Dynasurf
International, Inc. also filed a claim for breach of oral contract of employment
for $119,000.  The Subsidiary filed a counterclaim for  environmental  and other
costs   incurred   which   resulted  from  the  seller  not  resolving   certain
environmental issues warranted in the contract of purchase.

               The Company reached an out of court agreement with the plaintiffs
on September 9, 1996 wherein the plaintiffs  were  collectively  paid the sum of
$65,000 in full  settlement  of their  claim.  Such  settlement  did not have an
adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.

Note 10--Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------

Concentrations of Credit Risk
- -----------------------------

             The   Company's   financial   instruments   that  are   exposed  to
concentrations  of  credit  risk  consist  primarily  of  its  cash,  marketable
securities and trade receivables.

             The Company's  cash and marketable  securities are in  high-quality
securities  placed  with a wide  array of  institutions  with  high  credit  and
investment  ratings.  This  investment  policy limits the Company's  exposure to
concentrations of credit risk.

             The trade receivable balances, reflecting the Company's diversified
sources of revenue,  are dispersed across many different  geographic areas. As a
consequence,  concentrations  of credit risk are limited.  The Company routinely
assesses the financial  strength of its customers and generally does not require
collateral to support its credit sales.

Lease Commitment
- ----------------

               The Company leases  warehouse space in its New Jersey facility to
a tenant under an operating  lease  expiring  December 31, 1999.  Minimum future
rentals to be received on the lease as of June 30, 1999 are as follows:  1999-00
- - $60,844.

Note 11--Advertising
- --------------------

               The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred,  except
for  direct-response  advertising  comprised of magazine ads and sales brochures
which  are  capitalized  and  amortized  over  their  expected  period of future
benefit.

               Advertising  materials  of $56,885 and $68,264  were  reported as
assets at June 30, 1999 and 1998 respectively.  Advertising expense was reported
of $336,000, $358,000, and $335,000 for 1999, 1998, and 1997 respectively.
