                                 PART I

Item 1.  Business

    Johnston Industries, Inc. currently is a diversified manufacturer of home
furnishings, industrial and, to a lesser extent, basic apparel and automotive
textile fabrics.  Johnston Industries, Inc. is a Delaware corporation which
became the successor to a New York corporation of the same name on December 31,
1987 through a reincorporation merger, and references to "JII" or the "Company"
include its predecessor and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates
otherwise.

    The executive offices of the Company are located at 105 13th Street,
Columbus, Georgia  31901, in a 20,000 square foot, two story, office building,
which was purchased August 20, 1993.

    The Company engages in textile manufacturing through its subsidiaries
Southern Phenix Textiles, Inc. and Opp and Micolas Mills, Inc. which together
operate in 1,477,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehouse and administrative
facilities.  The Company spins its own yarn using Autocoro open-end automatic
rotor spinning and winding machines, Murata air jet spinners and to a minor
extent some ring spinning equipment.  Fabric is manufactured on a variety of
shuttleless, rapier and air jet weaving machines as well as some shuttle looms.
Nonwoven fabric is made in the stitchbond facility.  The mills have an annual
capacity of approximately 170 million linear yards of fabric (approximately 82
million pounds).  Approximately 93% of production is for industrial and home
furnishings and automotive manufacturers; the balance is for basic apparel
manufacturers.  The following table sets forth the percentage of sales to each
major industry served by it:

</TABLE>

    The Company believes that it is generally not directly affected by foreign
competition although there is an indirect effect.  The majority of the
Company's products are manufactured for the industrial and home furnishings
segments of the market with some sales in the basic apparel areas (duck and
pocketing) and in automotive products.  The direct effect of foreign
competition in these areas is very minimal.  There is however an indirect
effect on the business.  As total domestic textile sales volume is reduced as a
result of imports, the companies that are directly affected (generally fashion
and apparel manufacturers) search for sales volume in other areas to replace
their lost volume.  This results in increased competition and price pressures
in some of the specialized markets that the Company serves.

    The Company is also attempting to market its products in Europe.  Through
June 30, 1994, the international direct sales volume has been no more than 3%
of sales.

    The Company also owns 49% of Jupiter National, Inc. which is traded on the
American Stock Exchange.  In November 1992, Jupiter National, which previously
operated solely as a venture capital company, purchased the custom fabrics
division of WestPoint Pepperell.  This division, now named Wellington Sears
Company, is a diversified manufacturer of cotton and polyester fabrics for the
home furnishings and industrial products markets.  Its operations include
spinning, weaving, product





                                      2
<PAGE>   4

testing, waste textile fiber and fabric reclamation and other nonwoven
production.  Its products are used as outdoor furniture fabric, wiper cloths,
napery, furniture upholstery, shoddy pads, tote bags and other industrial
applications, etc.

Southern Phenix Textiles, Inc.

    Southern Phenix Textiles, Inc. ("Southern Phenix") manufactures woven
 fabrics from 100% polyester fiber for use in the automotive industry, home
 furnishings industry, for the coating and laminating trades, and by various
 other fabricators.  Its operations include spinning, weaving, stitchbonding
 and finishings and its products are used in backing for foam car seat
 cushions, tufted upholstery and marine coated products, mattress ticking for
 popularly priced mattresses, and products for soft furniture.  More than 75%
 of production is against firm orders, with finishing, packaging and other
 specifications determined by customers.

    Southern Phenix's single supplier for most of its polyester  fiber is
Wellman, Inc., formerly Fiber Industries, Inc. ("Wellman").  Southern Phenix
does not have a long term agreement with Wellman and does not maintain supply
contracts with Wellman or any other polyester suppliers.  Other potential
suppliers of polyester include DuPont and Hoechst-Celanese, as well as a number
of other domestic and foreign sources.  In the event any one supplier ceases to
be available, management does not expect any difficulty in quickly obtaining
polyester from another supplier.

    Southern Phenix's two manufacturing facilities totaling 708,000 square
feet, located in Phenix City, Alabama, have an





                                      3
<PAGE>   5

annual manufacturing capacity of approximately 72 million linear yards (36
million pounds) and include a finishing facility.  The primary mill, which was
one of the first in the United States to make woven goods from 100% polyester,
was built in 1968, but its equipment and machinery continue to be extensively
modernized.  The primary mill is located on 13 acres of a 124-acre tract
accessible by both road and rail.  A second mill with 78,000 square feet on 11
acres, contains stitchbond operation.  Capital expenditures at Southern Phenix
in fiscal 1994 amounted to $4,124,000.  For the fiscal year 1994, Southern
Phenix facilities operated at approximately 80% of rated capacity.

    Sales of Southern Phenix products to the automotive industry are made
through Acme Mills Company, as its exclusive automotive marketing
representative.  Such sales to Acme Mills Company account for approximately
10% of the Company's consolidated revenues.

    Southern Phenix also has contracted with Glabman Teichner Company to
market the majority of its decorative and upholstery fabrics.  Other products
are generally sold by the Company's five salesmen.

Backlog

    At June 30, 1994, Southern Phenix's backlog of orders was approximately
$13,299,000 compared to $11,491,000 at June 30, 1993 and $10,621,000 at June
30, 9192.  All backlog at year-end is expected to be delivered in the current
fiscal year.

Employees

    As of June 30, 1994, Southern Phenix had approximately 520





                                      4
<PAGE>   6

full-time employees, none of whom is covered by collective bargaining
agreements.  Southern Phenix believes its relations with its employees are
good.

Competition
    Southern Phenix's competition consists principally of six companies, a
number of which are larger and have significantly greater resources than
Southern Phenix or the Company.  While  the company believes that there are
several competitors with larger market shares than it in each product group,
market shares vary substantially from product to product within a group and
there are individual products for which Southern Phenix is the market leader
as well as others for which it does not have a significant market share.  Means
of competition include quality of product and of service - chiefly the ability
to respond and meet customer product requirements expeditiously and reliably -
as well as price.  The Company believes that service is an important positive
competitive factor for Southern Phenix and that only its relatively small size
is a negative factor, though one which is not viewed as significant.  The
Company believes that competition from domestic manufacturers has intensified
over the last several years and will continue to increase in the future.

    The Company believes that while it is not directly affected by foreign
competition, it is indirectly affected by such competition as discussed on Page
2.

Opp and Micolas Mills, Inc.

    Opp and Micolas Mills, Inc. ("Opp and Micolas") manufactures more than 69
different styles (in the "greige"





                                      5
<PAGE>   7

state, i.e., unbleached and undyed as taken from the loom) of all cotton
fabrics and cotton/polyester blended fabrics for the coating, home furnishings
and apparel markets.  Opp and Micolas also produces fabrics for the footwear
and building supplies industries and for various industrial operations.  Its
fabrics are used in a broad range of coated products including wall coverings,
coated fabrics for autos such as convertible tops, cloth roof coverings and
felt window liners, rubber coated products such as automotive V-belts and
other belts for industrial machinery, apparel, industrial protective clothing
and specialty items, such as tote bags, handbags and shoes.

    Opp and Micolas buys most of its polyester from Wellman, formerly Fiber
Industries, Inc., and its cotton from ten established domestic cotton
merchants in the open market.  Opp and Micolas does not maintain a supply
agreement with Wellman or any other supplier.  Management believes that
adequate supplies of cotton are available in the open market and should any
one of its principal suppliers of cotton or polyester cease to be available,
management does not expect any difficulty in quickly locating another
supplier.

    Opp and Micolas manufactures fabrics primarily through the use of the
"open-end" spinning method but has some conventional "ring" spinning equipment
still in use.  Open-end spinning is a fully automated spinning process which
yields a consistency and quality of yarn unobtainable from ring spinning.  In
recent years Opp and Micolas has engaged in an extensive capital expenditure
program aimed at converting both mills to open-end spinning and shuttleless 
weaving.  Under this program, the Opp





                                      6
<PAGE>   8

and Micolas capital expenditures program was $6,581,000 in fiscal 1994.  For
the fiscal year 1994, Opp and Micolas operated at approximately 93% of rated
capacity.

    The fabrics produced by Opp and Micolas are manufactured to firm orders
and are sold directly to manufacturers which have their own converting
departments or finishing facilities and to fabric convertors who dye and
print unfinished fabrics.  Opp and Micolas employs six full-time salesmen and
accepts orders from a small number of commissioned agents.  Sales by agents
accounted for less than 2% of its fiscal 1994 sales.

    The Opp Mill encompasses 13 acres and has approximately 340,000 square
feet of plant facility.  The Micolas Mills, which is located near the Opp
Mill, has 19 acres and approximately 429,000 square feet of plant facility.  A
nearby Company-owned tract of 140 acres is available for future expansion.
The mills, which share some basic facilities and services but are equipped to
operate independently, are single level facilities which were built in 1922
and, like Southern Phenix plant, underwent extensive modernization programs in
the early 1990's.  The Opp and Micolas Mills have a aggregate annual capacity
of 98 million linear yards of fabric (46 million pounds).

Backlog

    At June 30, 1994, Opp and Micolas' backlog of orders was approximately
$31,798,000 compared to $26,180,000 at June 30, 1993 and $28,734,000 at June
30, 1992.  The increase in backlog at June 30, 1994, was the result of large
increases in orders from the home furnishings market.  All backlog at year-end
is expected to be delivered in the current fiscal year.

Employees

    As of June 30, 1994, Opp and Micolas had approximately 950 full-time
employees, none of whom are covered by collective bargaining agreements.  Opp
and Micolas believes its relations with its employees are good.

Competition

    Opp and Micolas competition consists principally of 10 companies, a
number of which are larger and have significantly greater resources than Opp
and Micolas or the Company.  While the Company believes that there are several
competitors with larger market shares than it in each product group, market
shares vary substantially from product to product within a group and there are
individual products for which Opp and Micolas is the market leader as well as
others for which it does not have a significant market share.  Means of
competition include quality of product and service - chiefly the ability to
respond and meet customer product requirements expeditiously and reliably -
as well as price.  The Company believes that service is an important positive
competitive factor for Opp and Micolas and that only its relatively small size
is a negative factor, though one which is not viewed as significant.

    The Company believes that while it is not directly affected by foreign
competition, it is directly affected by such competition as discussed on Page

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for fiscal 1994 were $159,904,000 compared to $154,074,000
for the prior year, an increase of 4%.  This increase was primarily the result
of a 24% improvement in sales of upholstery and furniture products by Opp and
Micolas and Southern Phenix offset by a 46% reduction in apparel market sales
at Opp and Micolas.  The decrease in the Company's low margin apparel market
sales reflects management's decision to significantly reduce its involvement in
this market and is expected to continue in the future.  Presently, apparel
market sales represent only 13% of the Opp and Micolas total business and the
increase in upholstery and furniture market products produced significantly
higher gross margins.  In addition, the Company has placed greater emphasis on
the development of new high margin products and designs in the decorative
fabrics sector of the home furnishings market.

The 11% increase in net sales to $154,074,000 in fiscal 1993 compared
to fiscal 1992 was primarily in unit sales volume.  The upholstery and
furniture market was a major contributor providing about 8% and apparel
contributed about 3% of the increase.

At the present time, our sales backlog is high, the economy is relatively
stable, and we are not aware of any material trends that will have a
significant effect on future operations or sales volume.  These conditions are
comparable to fiscal 1993, with the exception of increases in raw material
prices, primarily cotton and polyester.  Although increasing, export sales
represent approximately 3% of our core business.

Although net sales for fiscal 1994 increased 4% from fiscal 1993, the Company's
operating income increased approximately 33%.

Cost of Sales as a percentage of sales, which had significantly improved in
1992 compared to prior years, maintained the improved level in 1993 and made
another significant improvement in 1994.  Gross profit was 21.5% in 1992 and
1993 and improved to 24.2% in 1994.  Improved sales volume, especially in
upholstery and furniture fabrics at Southern Phenix, have significantly
increased productivity through higher utilization of plant and equipment.  This
improvement also reflects decreased cost resulting from utilization of newer
machinery and equipment purchased over the past several years.

Management does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on results
of operations for the periods presented.  Substantial and unreasonable
increases in costs, however, could have a significant economic effect on the
industry and the Company.  Management believes, to the extent inflation affects
its costs in the future, the Company can generally offset inflation by
increasing prices, if competitive conditions permit.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11% in fiscal 1994 and
19% in fiscal 1993.  In fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993, approximately one-half of
the increase was in selling expenses (personnel, samples and commissions) at
Southern Phenix directly related to the new line of decorative fabrics
introduced in the upholstery and furniture markets.  There were also small
increases in support expenses in administrative functions to support the sales
effort.  It should be noted that while the absolute dollars of these 1994 and
1993 expenses are higher, as a percentage of sales the annual increase was only
1/2 of 1% each year.  It should also be noted that increased expenses due to
development of new, value added markets, were offset and substantially exceeded
by increased profitability.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were up 5% in fiscal 1994 to $10,202,000
and 5% in fiscal 1993 to $9,761,000 over the prior years.  These increases
reflect the recent improvement in the level of capital expenditures.  Over the
past three years, the Company has invested $32,487,000 to continue our effort
to upgrade machinery and equipment to state-of-the-art levels, and move into
new more profitable markets.
<PAGE>   11

Net interest expense was up 18% in fiscal 1994 to $2,845,000 and 8% in fiscal
1993 to $2,403,000 from the prior years.  While the increase in 1993 was due to
a higher average borrowing balance, the change in 1994 was primarily due to a
reduction in interest income.  Interest income decreased $379,000 in 1994
because of the payment of a note receivable in July, 1993.  The average
interest rate increased slightly from 6-1/4 to 6-1/2 and the total bank debt
increased $1,800,000.

The other net elements of Other Expenses were nominal in fiscal 1992 but
increased significantly in fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1994.  The increase in 1994
and 1993 relates to the liability for the Company's former steel fabrication
operations which is discussed in Note 2 in the financial statements.  This
liability represents costs related to health insurance and death benefits and
is stated at the actuarially determined discounted present value.

In fiscal 1994, there was a loss of $980,000 from the operations of Tech
Textiles, USA, compared to a loss of $889,000 in fiscal 1993 and a loss of
$198,000 in fiscal 1992, the year Tech Textiles was established as a 50%-owned
joint venture with another company and the year Tech Textiles commenced
operations.  These amounts reflect the startup nature of this new business and
is consistent with the Company's expectations and original business plan.  The
operations of Tech Textiles are expected to generate substantially smaller
losses through fiscal year 1995 compared to prior fiscal years.  For fiscal
year 1996, management expects Tech Textiles to be profitable.

The Company holds a 49% interest in Jupiter National, Inc. ("Jupiter").  In
fiscal 1992, Jupiter experienced a large increase in net asset value primarily
due to the increased market values of two noncontrolled portfolio companies
that had initial public offerings.  In fiscal 1993, the net asset value of
Jupiter continued to increase because of the market value of the investment
portfolio and the operating profits of Wellington Sears Company, a major 100%
manufacturing acquisition by Jupiter in that fiscal year.  In fiscal 1994, the
market value of one of the portfolio companies in which Jupiter has a financial
interest decreased significantly in value, which decrease exceeded other
increases in portfolio investments of Jupiter and the operating profit
generated by Wellington Sears Company.  Consequently, for the last three years,
the Company recognized income from Jupiter of $2,339,000 for fiscal 1992,
$6,163,000 for fiscal 1993, and a loss of $106,000 for fiscal 1994.  Because of
these factors, Jupiter has reported volatility in its earnings for the last
three years and will continue to potentially show such volatility dependent on
the value of its portfolio investments due to market conditions and the profit
generated from the operations of Wellington Sears Company.

The provision for income taxes in fiscal 1992 was low due to a loss carryforward
from fiscal 1991.  The provision in fiscal 1993 and 1994 is at a 38% rate.

In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income
Taxes."  Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS 109 retroactively,
and restated all prior years presented.

The effect of the retroactive restatement on shareholders' equity at July 1,
1992 was a reduction of $418,000.  Net income and earnings per share as
previously reported for fiscal 1993 were $8,878,000 and $.81, respectively, and
for fiscal 1992 were $6,771,000 and $.62, respectively.  The restatement impact
of applying SFAS 109 on net income was a $352,000 reduction to $8,526,000 and a
reduction of $.03 per share to $.78 in fiscal 1993.  In fiscal 1992, the
restatement impact on net income was a reduction of $82,000 to $6,689,000 while
earnings per share remained at $.62.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The net cash provided by operating activities of $13,567,000 in fiscal 1994 was
$571,000 less favorable than the $14,138,000 generated in fiscal 1993.  This
decrease in cash from operations was a direct result of
<PAGE>   12


increased accounts receivable and increased inventories over the prior year.
The accounts receivable were up due to higher sales volume while inventories
increased because of growth in upholstery markets, which requires more shelf
stock.

Capital expenditures in fiscal 1994 of $12,701,000 was $2,320,000 higher than
the $10,381,000 expenditure in the prior year and reflects management's goal of
8% of net sales.  These expenditures were primarily for the replacement of
existing equipment with the latest technology, the implementation of new
manufacturing processes, and development of new products.

Although current replacement cost for inventories at June 30, 1994 and 1993 was
less than last-in, first-out carrying value, the Company's management believes
that the carrying value will be recovered through future sales which will yield
normal profit margins.

On January 14, 1994, the Company completed the restructuring of its loan
facilities with its banks and at June 30, 1994 had a revolving credit loan of
$35,000,000, a term note of $5,000,000, and a line of credit of $10,000,000
with outstanding borrowings of $2,500,000.  The $5,000,000 term loan is due in
fiscal 1995 while the balance will be due on January 14, 1997.  The Company
plans to restructure its debt prior to January 14, 1997.  Certain of the
Company's borrowing agreements require the Company, among other things, to
maintain certain financial ratios and specified levels of working capital and
intangible net worth, as defined.  The Company was in technical noncompliance
with respect to its covenant related to the Maximum Leverage Ratio, as defined,
as of June 30, 1994; however, on August 15, 1994, the Amended Credit Agreement
was modified through June 30, 1995 to revise such Maximum Leverage Ratio in
order to cure such technical noncompliance and in order to make certain
covenants less restrictive.

A decision was made by the Company in fiscal 1993 to move the executive office
to Columbus, Georgia.  In that regard, in fiscal 1994 a building was purchased
and renovated, and the Company obtained a Purchase Money Mortgage Loan of
$1,325,000.  As of June 30, 1994, the remaining balance on this loan was
$1,303,000.  Working Capital at June 30, 1994 is $25,495,000.  With the net
expected cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 1995 which will
include over $11,000,000 in expected depreciation expense in addition to
operating earnings, the Company will have adequate cash and capital resources
for its requirements.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

In 1981, a subsidiary of the Company closed a steel fabricating facility in
Pennsylvania which it had operated before its closing.  The facility was
purchased from the Company and again operated as a steel fabricating facility
by the new owner for approximately two years and thereafter was purchased by
the present owner who also operated it as a steel fabricating facility for
about three years.  Since that time, it has been closed.

In February 1994, the present owners of the property filed a complaint against
the Company and the previous owner alleging responsibility of those parties for
the cost of remediation of the plant site.  The complaint alleges that such
costs to date are in excess of $1,500,000.

The case is presently scheduled to be heard on June 5, 1995, and the Company
has established a reserve in the amount of $180,000, which is the present
estimate of potential costs to be incurred.  Once the initial trial of this 
matter has been concluded, the Company will be in a position to further 
evaluate this claim with much more certainty and increase or decrease its 
reserve pursuant thereto.  However, the Company is of the present opinion that 
this issue will not have a material effect on the Company's future financial 
condition and results of operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 112 ("SFAS 112"), "Employers'
accounting for Postemployment Benefits," establishes accounting standards for
employers that provide benefits to former or inactive employees after
employment but before retirement and is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1993.  The Company expects that there will be no material 
effect upon implementing SFAS 112 on its financial position or results of 
operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Johnston Industries, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Johnston
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 1994 and 1993,
and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1994.  Our
audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Table of
Contents.  These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules
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 statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Johnston Industries, Inc. and
subsidiaries at June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1994
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our
opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the
basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in
all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company changed its
method of accounting for income taxes in 1994 to conform with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 and, retroactively, restated the 1993
and 1992 financial statements for the change.





                                      F-1
<PAGE>   18




As explained in Note 5, the consolidated financial statements include the
Company's investment in and equity in earnings of its unconsolidated affiliate,
Jupiter National, Inc. ("Jupiter").  As of and for the years ended June 30,
1994 and 1993, a portion of the Company's investment in Jupiter ($17,434,000
and $9,263,000, respectively) and equity in earnings from Jupiter ($2,010,560
and $755,180, respectively) relates to security values estimated by Jupiter's
Board of Directors in the absence of readily ascertainable market values.  We
have reviewed the procedures used in arriving at the estimates of value of such
securities and have inspected underlying documentation and, in the
circumstances, we believe the procedures are reasonable and the documentation
appropriate.  However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those
estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been
used had a ready market for Jupiter's investment securities existed, and the
difference could be material to the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

JOHNSTON INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 1994 AND 1993
AND FOR EACH OF THE THREE YEARS
IN THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1994


 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

       Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
       include the accounts of Johnston Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned
       subsidiaries (the "Company"), which are involved in the manufacture and
       sale of industrial textiles.  All significant intercompany accounts and
       transactions have been eliminated.

       Inventories - The Company's inventories of finished goods, work in
       process, and raw materials are stated at the lower of cost (using the
       last-in, first-out cost flow assumption) or market.  Supplies are stated
       at cost determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

       Property, Plant, and Equipment - Property, plant, and equipment is
       stated at cost.  Depreciation and amortization are provided principally
       by the use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful service
       lives of 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3-20 years for
       machinery and equipment.

       Revenue Recognition - Revenue is generally recognized as products are
       shipped to customers.  When customers, under the terms of specific
       orders, request that the Company manufacture and invoice goods on a bill
       and hold basis, the Company recognizes revenue based on the completion
       date required in the order and actual completion of the manufacturing
       process.  At that time, title and risks of ownership are transferred to
       the customer.  Accounts receivable included bill and hold receivables of
       $3,136,000 and $2,538,000 at June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

       Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company's accounts receivable are
       generally unsecured and are liquidated based on cash flows generated by
       its customers' operations.

       Income Taxes - In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards
       Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS
       109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes."  Effective July 1, 1993, the
       Company adopted SFAS 109 retroactively, and restated all prior years
       presented.  Under SFAS 109, the Company determines income taxes for
       financial reporting purposes using the asset and liability method.
       Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established
       for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the
       tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates
       expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.

       Earnings Per Share - Earnings per share are calculated based on the
       weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
       outstanding during each respective fiscal year.  Fully diluted earnings
       per share are not presented because the difference from primary earnings
       per share is insignificant for all periods presented.

       Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits - On July 1, 1993, the
       Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
       Standards No. 106 ("SFAS 106"), "Employers' Accounting for
       Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."  The impact of adoption of
       SFAS 106 was not material to the Company's financial position or results
       of operations.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112
       ("SFAS 112"), "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits,"
       establishes accounting standards for employers that provide benefits to
       former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement and
       is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993.  The
       Company expects that there will be no material effect upon implementing
       SFAS 112 on its financial position or results of operations.

 2.    STEEL FABRICATION OPERATIONS

       The accompanying balance sheets as of June 30, 1994 and 1993 include
       accruals of $7,903,000 and $7,828,000, respectively, for the remaining
       costs expected to be incurred in phasing out the Company's steel
       fabrication operations.  These costs are principally related to health
       insurance and death benefits for former employees and are stated at the
       actuarially determined discounted present value.  These operations were
       closed in 1981.

       In February 1994, the operators of a steel fabricating facility filed a
       complaint against a previous operator of the facility and a former
       subsidiary of Johnston Industries, Inc. which had operated the facility
       earlier before its close in 1981.  The complaint seeks to have the
       earlier operators bear the response costs incurred in remediation of
       contamination at the plant site.  Such costs are alleged to be in excess
       of $1,500,000 to date.  The Company is presently in the process of
       obtaining sufficient information to fully evaluate the claim.  The
       Company has established a reserve in the amount of $180,000 as an
       estimate of potential legal costs to be incurred in connection with
       defending  this matter.  Based upon the advice of legal counsel, no
       reserve for remediation of the site has been established.  While the
       ultimate resolution of any lawsuit involves uncertainty, management
       believes settlement of this issue will not have a material effect on the
       Company's financial condition or results of operations.

       During 1992, the Company was notified by the Federal Environmental
       Protection Agency ("EPA") and Michigan Department of Natural Resources
       ("MDNR") that the EPA and MDNR believe the Company is a potentially
       responsible party for the remediation of contamination at a former
       landfill facility previously utilized by the Company's steel fabrication
       operations.  Negotiations are currently under way among the
       owner/operator group, the generator group, and MDNR as to the allocation
       of response costs expended to date.  The current estimate of the
       Company's share of costs to date is approximately $20,000 which has been
       recorded in the financial statements.  Any additional liability of the
       Company for future costs is not expected to be material.

       Management believes that the accruals described above are sufficient to
       cover the estimated costs to comply with the terms of settlements and
       other matters.

 3.    RECEIVABLES FROM RELATED PARTIES

       During 1992 and 1993, the Company made secured revolving loans to Redlaw
       Industries, Inc. ("Redlaw"), a stockholder.  As of June 30, 1993,
       $5,524,000 was outstanding.  In July 1993, principal and interest was
       paid in full.  An additional loan of $1,300,000 was made to Redlaw in
       October 1993 and interest and principal was paid in full in December
       1993.  All loans bore interest at the Company's interest rate on its
       revolving credit loan (see Note 8) plus 1/2 of 1%.

</TABLE>

       Although current replacement cost for inventories at June 30, 1994 and
       1993 was less than last-in, first-out carrying value, the Company's
       management believes that the carrying value will be recovered through
       future sales which will yield normal profit margins.

 5.    INVESTMENTS

       Jupiter National, Inc.

       As of June 30, 1994 and 1993, the Company owned approximately 49% and
       40%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of Jupiter National,
       Inc. ("Jupiter"), a closed-end venture capital investment company.

       Jupiter uses specialized accounting policies required for investment
       companies to determine the net asset value of its portfolio of
       investments.  Under these policies, securities with readily available
       market quotations are valued at the current market price; all other
       investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by
       Jupiter's Board of Directors using a formal portfolio valuation
       procedure.  At the end of each quarter, management prepares a written
       summary of each significant portfolio company and meets with the Board
       of Directors to discuss each investment in detail and determine the
       final valuations.

       Summarized financial information of Jupiter as of June 30, 1994 and 
       1993 is as follows:

       The Company accounts for its investment in Jupiter using the equity
       method.  For the years ended June 30, 1994, 1993, and 1992, the
       Company's equity in the changes in net assets of Jupiter was $(106,000),
       $6,163,000, and $2,339,000, respectively.  For the years ended June 30,
       1994 and 1993, $2,010,560 and $755,180, respectively, of the Company's
       equity in Jupiter's change in net assets was derived from net unrealized
       appreciation of investments whose values have been estimated by
       Jupiter's Board of Directors.  In 1992, the portion of the Company's
       income from Board-valued investments was immaterial.

       The Company's equity in net assets of Jupiter at June 30, 1994 and 1993
       is $19,194,000 and $15,735,000, respectively, which includes $17,434,000
       and $9,263,000, respectively, of security values determined by Jupiter's
       Board of Directors.  The quoted market value of the Company's investment
       in Jupiter was approximately $20,148,000 and $11,423,000 on June 30,
       1994 and 1993, respectively.

       In 1992, the Company changed its method of accounting to a current
       reporting basis rather than the one quarter delay basis previously used.
       The cumulative effect of the change on prior years is included in net
       income for the year ended June 30, 1992 and is not material.  The effect
       of the change on the year ended June 30, 1992 was to increase net income
       by $227,000 ($.02 per share).

       Tech Textiles, USA

       During 1992, the Company entered into a 50%/50% partnership with an
       English company to establish Tech Textiles, USA ("Tech Textiles") for
       the joint manufacture and sale of certain specialized textile products.
       The Company's investment in this entity was $2,335,000 and $2,303,000 at
       June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Losses of $980,000, $889,000, and
       $198,000, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 1994, 1993, and
       1992 were recorded.

       Revolving Credit Loans - During 1994, the Company's Credit and Security
       Agreement (the "Original Credit Agreement") was amended by the Second
       Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement dated as of January
       14, 1994 (the "Amended Credit Agreement").  The Original Credit
       Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety by the Amended Credit
       Agreement.  The Amended Credit Agreement increased the maximum
       borrowings to $35,000,000.  Principal under the Amended Credit Agreement
       is payable in full on or before January 14, 1997.  Interest payments are
       due on the last day of each calendar quarter.  Borrowings under the
       Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate which is the
       higher of the federal funds rate plus 3/4 of 1% or the prime rate plus
       1/4 of 1%.  A commitment fee of 1/2 of 1% on the unused portion of the
       revolving credit facility is payable annually.  Borrowings under the
       Original Credit Agreement bore interest at a variable rate which was the
       higher of the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% or the prime rate plus
       1/4 of 1%.

       The interest rate on these borrowings was 7.50% at June 30, 1994 and
       6.25% at June 30, 1993.  All machinery, equipment, inventory, and
       receivables of the Company are pledged as collateral to the Amended
       Credit Agreement.

       Term Notes Payable - The term notes are payable to banks and bear
       interest at the fixed rate of 8.75% per annum.  Principal of $500,000
       and interest are payable quarterly through March 1995, at which time the
       remaining principal of $4,000,000 is due.

       Purchase Money Mortgage Loan - In connection with the purchase of a new
       office building during 1994, the Company obtained a Purchase Money
       Mortgage Loan of $1,325,000.  At June 30, 1994, borrowings outstanding
       under this loan were $1,303,000.  Borrowings under this loan accrue
       interest at the lesser of (1) 30-day adjustable, 60-day adjustable, or
       90-day adjustable LIBOR rate plus 2.70% or (2) the prime rate.  The
       interest rate on this loan was 7.25% at June 30, 1994.  Beginning on
       March 31, 1994, the Company was obligated to make 58 consecutive
       quarterly payments of principal of $21,667 plus interest, with all
       remaining principal and interest due on December 31, 2008.  The new
       office building in Columbus, Georgia is pledged as collateral for this
       loan.

       Short-term Borrowings - At June 30, 1994 and 1993, the Company had
       available lines of credit from banks totaling $10,000,000 and
       $13,500,000, respectively, of which $2,500,000 and $10,000,000,
       respectively, had been borrowed.  Borrowings under these agreements bear
       interest at the prevailing prime lending rate which was 7.25% and 6.0%
       at June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Total compensating balances
       under these arrangements were approximately $1,000,000 at June 30, 1994
       and 1993.

       Covenants and Restrictions - The Amended Credit Agreement and term note
       agreement require the Company, among other things, to maintain certain
       financial ratios and specified levels of working capital and tangible
       net worth, as defined.  The Company was in technical noncompliance with
       respect to its covenant related to the Maximum Leverage Ratio, as
       defined, as of June 30, 1994; however, on August 15, 1994, the Amended
       Credit Agreement was modified through June 30, 1995 to revise such
       Maximum Leverage Ratio in order to cure such technical noncompliance and
       in order to make certain covenants less restrictive.

       The agreements also place a limit on total borrowings to the lower of
       $52,000,000, total stockholders' equity, or an amount computed using a
       borrowing base formula.  Additionally, the Company's restricted
       investments, defined to include guarantees and advances to affiliates,
       are limited to the lesser of 20% of total assets or $13,500,000 plus 50%
       of net income for fiscal 1994, 1993, and 1992.  These agreements also
       restrict the Company's ability to incur debt, buy or sell assets, pay
       dividends, and issue or repurchase capital stock.  As of June 30, 1994,
       the Company is restricted from paying cash dividends in excess of
       $11,606,000.

</TABLE>


       At June 30, 1994, approximately 304,000 of the outstanding options are
       exercisable.

       Compensation expense is recognized when nonqualified stock options are
       granted at prices which are less than market value on the date of grant.
       Compensation expense was also recognized on stock appreciation rights
       based on the change in market price from the grant price.  Compensation
       expense relating to the Company's Employee Stock Incentive Plan for
       employees was $3,000 and $(65,000) during the years ended June 30, 1993
       and 1992, respectively.  No compensation expense was recognized in 1994.

       Other Stock Option Agreement - During 1991, the Company entered into a
       nonqualified stock option agreement with a director under which the
       director was granted options to purchase a maximum of 22,500 shares of
       the Company's common stock.  The options are exercisable at $3.22 per
       share.

       Stock Appreciation Rights - During 1992, certain of the Company's
       executives rescinded their rights to exercise stock appreciation rights
       previously issued in connection with nonqualified stock options.  As a
       result, compensation expense is no longer required to be recognized and
       previously accrued compensation of approximately $65,000 reduced
       selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended June
       30, 1992.

   12. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

       On October 15, 1990, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan
       under which selected eligible key employees and directors of the Company
       were granted the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company's common
       stock.  Through June 30, 1994, 731,213 shares of the Company's stock
       have been purchased at market prices by employees and directors under
       the plan.

<PAGE>   31




       At June 30, 1994, the Company has guaranteed plan participants' bank
       borrowings totaling approximately $5,004,000.

   13. TREASURY STOCK

       On February 1, 1993, the Company purchased 294,000 shares of its stock
       at $8.50 per share from GRM Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Redlaw.

   14. INCOME TAXES

       The Company adopted SFAS 109 effective July 1, 1993 and has applied the
       provisions of such statement retroactively to July 1, 1988.
       Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been restated to
       comply with the provisions of SFAS 109.

       The effect of the retroactive restatement on stockholders' equity at
       July 1, 1992 was a reduction of $418,000.  The following table
       summarizes the restatement impact of applying SFAS 109 on net income and
       earnings per share for the years ended June 30, 1993 and 1992:

       carryforwards of approximately $678,000 which have been recorded as an

       are more likely than not and as such has not established any valuation
       allowance against this asset.

       The Company has two noncontributory defined benefit pension plans
       covering substantially all hourly and salaried employees.  The plan
       covering salaried employees provides benefit payments based on years of
       service and the employees' final average ten years' earnings.  The plan
       covering hourly employees generally provides benefits of stated amounts
       for each year of service.  The Company's current policy is to fund
       retirement plans in an amount that falls between the minimum
       contribution required by ERISA and the maximum tax deductible
       contribution.  Plan assets consist primarily of bonds, convertible
       securities, growth equity securities, cash and cash equivalents, and
       unallocated insurance contracts.

       The provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87
       ("SFAS 87"), "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" require recognition in
       the balance sheet of an additional minimum liability and related
       intangible asset for pension plans with accumulated benefits in excess
       of plan assets.  At June 30, 1994 and 1993, an additional liability of
       $8,029,000 and $3,869,000, respectively, is reflected in the
       consolidated balance sheets.  At June 30, 1994, the liability exceeds
       the unrecognized prior service cost resulting in a minimum pension
       liability, net of tax benefit, of $3,198,000 recorded as a reduction of
       the Company's equity.

       Assets" on the consolidated balance sheet and are recorded at the fair
       market value of the underlying assets include corporate stocks,
       corporate bonds, and short-term investments.  The compensation to the
       officers is determined in accordance with the trust agreements.  Upon
       termination of the officers' employment with the Company, the trust
       assets will be distributed to the officers.  If the Company becomes
       insolvent at any time before the assets of the trust are distributed to
       the officers, the trust assets may be used to satisfy the claims of the
       Company's creditors.  As of June 30, 1994 and 1993, the trust assets
       totaled $1,005,000 and $312,000, respectively.
