IMPERIAL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The significant accounting principles used in the preparation of these
interim financial statements are the same as those used in the
preparation of the annual audited consolidated financial statements.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
(2) Revenue Recognition Policy
Revenue from sale transactions is recorded upon shipment and
delivery of inventory to the customer, net of discounts and
allowances.
(3) Cash Equivalents
The Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as those highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased. Included in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996 are time deposits of $230,000 and $153,000,
respectively.
(4) Income Taxes
The Company records income taxes using the liability method.
Under this method, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
temporary differences that will result in taxable amounts in future
years. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences
that will result in deductible amounts in future years. These
temporary differences are primarily the result of net operating loss
carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recognized if it is more
likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not
be realized (See note 7).
(5) Notes Payable
Included in notes payable at June 30, 1997, is $1,395,000 which
represents the amount outstanding under a $2,000,000 line of credit
from a commercial lender to Premix-Marbletite Manufacturing Co.
("Premix") and Acrocrete, Inc. ("Acrocrete"), the Company's two
principal operating subsidiaries. The line of credit is collateralized
Page 8 of 21

IMPERIAL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
-continued-
(5) Notes Payable (continued)
by Premix's and Acrocrete's accounts receivable and inventory.
Borrowings under the line of credit is limited to 80% of the net
collectible value of eligible accounts receivable and 30% of the net
realizable value of eligible inventory. The line of credit bears
interest at the lender's prime rate plus 4% (12-1/2% at August 1,
1997) and expires June 20th, of each year, but is automatically
extended for an additional one year term unless either party gives the
other notice of termination by April 21 of each year. The line of
credit was automatically extended through June 20, 1998. At June 30,
1997, the line of credit limit available for borrowing aggregated
$2,000,000, of which $1,395,000 had been borrowed. For the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the maximum borrowings at any month
end were $1,585,000 and $1,415,000 respectively. The average month
end amount outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 periods were $1,441,000 and $1,284,000, respectively.
(6) Long-Term Debt and Current Installments of Long-Term Debt
Included in long-term debt at June 30, 1997, are two mortgage
loans, collateralized by Premix's real property, in the amounts of
$504,000 and $313,000, respectively, less current installments of
$43,000. Each loan bears adjustable interest rates. As of August 1,
1997, interest rates on such mortgage loans were 10.5% and 12%,
respectively.
Long-term debt at June 30, 1997, also includes a $30,000
obligation, less current installments of $27,000, relating to a
product liability lawsuit for which the Company had no insurance. In
the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company entered into an agreement to
settle this lawsuit for $100,000, payable monthly over a four-year
period with interest at the rate of 7-1/2% per annum. In accordance
with the terms of the agreement, in the event the Company files for
bankruptcy protection during the payment period, the plaintiff will be
permitted to file a claim for $160,000, less any amounts previously
paid. Other long-term debt in the aggregate amount of $120,000, less
current installments of $79,000, relates principally to equipment
financing. The equipment financing notes bear interest at various
rates ranging from 8.75% to 15.39% and are payable, principal and
interest, monthly through 1998.
(7) Tax Credit Carryforwards
At June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $11.8 million of
net operating losses, for book and tax purposes, available through the
year 2009 and investment and other tax credits of approximately
$165,000 available through the year 2001. A valuation allowance for
100% of the resulting net deferred tax asset of approximately $4.3
Page 9 of 21

IMPERIAL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
-continued-
(7) Tax Credit Carryforwards (continued)
million has been established due to the uncertainties relating to its
eventual realizability. Changes in the Company's ownership, if any,
may have the effect of limiting the annual utilization of these
carryforwards.
(8) Capital Stock
(a) Common Stock
At June 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding 5,765,194
shares (net of Treasury shares) of Common Stock $.10 par value
per share ("Common Stock"). The holders of Common Stock are
entitled to one vote per share on all matters voting together
with the holders of Preferred Stock. In the event of liquidation,
holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all the
remaining assets of the Company, if any, after satisfaction of
the liabilities of the Company and the prior preferential rights
of the holders of outstanding preferred stock, if any.
On May 23, 1996, the Company issued from treasury 25,000
shares of Common Stock to an employee of the Company as part of
his employment compensation. On July 12, 1996, the Company
issued an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Common Stock to the
Directors and Executive Vice President of the Company as part of
their compensation for services rendered.
On February 4, 1997, the Company issued 33,333 shares of
authorized, but unissued Common Stock to the President of Premix
and Acrocrete as part of his employment compensation. On May 1,
1997, 25,400 shares of Common Stock were issued as a result of
the exercise of stock options previously granted under the
Company's stock option plans.
On May 29, 1997, the Company issued an aggregate of 144,000
shares of Common Stock to the Directors and employees of the
Company as part of their compensation for services rendered.
(b) Preferred Stock - $1.10 Cumulative Convertible Series
The authorized preferred stock of the Company consists of
5,000,000 shares, $1.00 par value per share. The preferred stock
is issuable in series, each of which may vary, as determined by
the Board of Directors, as to the designation and number of
shares in such series, the voting power of the holders thereof,
the dividend rate, redemption terms and prices, the voluntary and
involuntary liquidation preferences, and the conversion rights
and sinking fund requirements, if any, of such series.

-continued-
(8) Capital Stock (continued)
(b) Preferred Stock - $1.10 Cumulative Convertible Series (continued)
At June 30, 1997, the Company had issued and outstanding
300,121 shares of $1.10 cumulative convertible preferred stock
("Preferred Stock"). The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled
to one vote per share on all matters without regard to class,
except that the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote
as a separate class with regard to the issuance of any equity
securities which ranks senior or on parity with the Preferred
Stock, or to change or repeal any of the express terms of the
Preferred Stock in a manner substantially prejudicial to the
holders thereof. Each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to
cumulative quarterly dividends at the rate of $1.10 per annum
and is currently convertible into 1.149 shares of Common Stock.
The liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock is $10.00 per
share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends. The Preferred Stock
is callable, in whole or in part, by the Company at its option at
any time upon 30 days prior notice, at $11.00 per share, plus
accrued but unpaid dividends.
The Company has omitted dividends on its Preferred Stock for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 in the amount of $165,000 and
for each quarter since the fourth quarter of 1985 aggregating
$3,879,000 through June 30, 1997. The omission of Preferred
Stock dividends is a reduction in net income applicable to common
stockholders and have been recorded as non-current liabilities on
the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
The Preferred Stock is subject to redemption through a
mandatory sinking fund at a redemption price of $10.00 per share
on April 1 of each year. Through June 30, 1997, an aggregate of
359,879 shares of Preferred Stock were converted into 1,199,557
shares of Common Stock. As a result of these conversions, the
Company was required to redeem 36,121 shares in 1991 and an
additional 66,000 shares for each year thereafter until all such
shares of Preferred Stock was redeemed.
The Company did not redeem any shares of Preferred Stock as
required on April 1, 1991 or any year thereafter. Under the
provisions of the sinking fund requirements, if an annual sinking
fund requirement is not met, it is added to the requirements for
the next year. The Preferred Stock has not been included in
common stockholders' deficit because of its mandatory redemption
feature.
The Company is prohibited from paying any cash dividends on
Common Stock and from purchasing or otherwise acquiring for

value, any shares of either Preferred or Common Stock, while the
Company is in default in the payment of any dividends on the
Preferred Stock and the sinking fund requirements are in arrears.
(c) Warrants
At June 30, 1997, the Company had the following outstanding
series of warrants:
(i) 1,316,999 warrants issued in the Company's public offering
in 1983. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share
of Common Stock at $4.80 per share until March 31, 1998.
(ii) 200,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one share of Common Stock at $.10 per share until June
29, 2000. The warrants were extended to June 29, 2000 from June
28, 1997 on June 20, 1997. Two directors acquired 150,000 and
50,000 warrants, respectively, in connection with a $400,000
financing in 1988. The loan has since been repaid by the
Company.
(d) Stock Options
At June 30, 1997, 476,100 shares of Common Stock were
reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options granted under the
Company's stock option plans. The exercise price of all such
options is $.10 per share. No additional options may be granted
under any of the Company's stock option plans. Subsequent to
June 30, 1997, stock options representing 452,100 shares of
Common Stock were exercised for aggregate cash proceeds to the
Company of $45,210.
(9) Net Income Applicable to Common Stockholders
Net income applicable to common stockholders includes $165,000
in Preferred Stock dividends accrued, but not declared, for each of
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Net income per share of Common Stock is computed after
considering the effect of Preferred Stock dividends, on the basis of
the weighted average number of Common Stock and Common Stock
equivalents outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents
represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of outstanding
stock options and certain warrants exercisable at $.10 per share.

(9) Net Income Applicable to Common Stockholders (continued)
warrants exercisable at $4.80 per share are antidilutive and,
therefore, are not included in the computations.
(10) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) In April 1996, the Company was dismissed as a defendant, to which
it had been a party with other unaffiliated companies, in 27 asbestos
lawsuits pending in various circuit courts in Alabama and Florida.
Such lawsuits sought unspecified damages alleging injuries to persons
exposed to products containing asbestos. As of May 1, 1997, the
Company is not a defendant in any lawsuits which allege injuries due
asbestos exposure.
The Company and Premix are parties to an Interim Agreement for
Defense and Indemnity of Asbestos Bodily Injury Cases (the
"Agreement") with certain of its insurance carriers under which each
party agreed to pay a negotiated percentage share of defense costs and
indemnification expenditures, subject to policy limits, for the
pending and future asbestos claims. The Agreement has been extended
until May 15, 1999, and is subject to cancellation upon sixty days
notice by any party.
The insurance carriers have agreed to pay, in the aggregate,
approximately 93% of the damages, costs and expenditures related to
the litigation. Premix is responsible for the remaining 7%.
The Company believes, based upon the Agreement with its insurance
carriers, and its experience in these claims to date, it has adequate
insurance coverage for any future similar type of claims. To date,
no case went to trial with Premix as a defendant. Premix has either
settled for a nominal amount of money or been voluntarily dismissed
without payment from approximately 193 cases. Based upon historical
results, the Company does not believe any potential future claims
would be material. However, there can be no assurance that insurance
will ultimately cover the aggregate liability for damages to which
Premix may be exposed. Premix is unable at this time to determine the
exact extent of its exposure or outcome of the litigation of any other
similar cases that may arise in the future.
Acrocrete is a co-defendant in a lawsuit captioned "Stephen P.
Zabow, II and Karen I. Zabow, et al. vs. M/I Schottenstein Homes,
Inc., Heiner Construction Company and Acrocrete, Inc.", filed October
2, 1996 in Wake County, North Carolina. The lawsuit involves claims
by owners of eight homes in Cary, North Carolina, against the general
contractor, a subcontractor, and Acrocrete. The claims relate to the
Page 13 of 21
<PAGE>
IMPERIAL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
-continued-
(10) Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
use of synthetic stucco in the construction of such homes which was
allegedly manufactured by Acrocrete. The lawsuit alleges negligent
misrepresentation, breach of warranty, unfair and deceptive trade
practices, fraud and negligence due to defective material, and
requests punitive damages. The plaintiffs allege that Acrocrete knew
of inherent defects prevalent in synthetic stucco wall systems that
permitted water intrusion to cause moisture damage to the interior and
wood framing of the houses.
Acrocrete believes it has meritorious defenses against the claim
and cross-claims against the general contractor and installer of the
product. The Company's insurance carriers accepted coverage and are
providing a defense under reservation of rights. Acrocrete is unable,
at this time, to determine the exact extent of its exposure or outcome
of the litigation of this lawsuit.
(b) The Company pays aggregate monthly rent of approximately $10,000
for four of its operating facilities. The leases expire at various
dates ranging from September 30, 1997 to December 31, 1998. The lease
expiring September 30, 1997 is for the Savannah, Georgia facility
which was closed effective March 31, 1997. The remaining leases
provide for annual increases in monthly rent.
In addition, the Company leases one automobile under an
agreement which provides for a minimum monthly payment of $600
through June 1998. The Company is subject to an operating lease
agreement for certain computer equipment which provides for monthly
rental payments of $971 through February, 1998.
(c) Howard L. Ehler, Jr. ("the Executive") is employed by the
Company pursuant to a one year renewable agreement (the "Employment
Agreement"). Mr. Ehler serves as Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of the Company at a current annual base salary of
$100,000. The Employment Agreement provides for automatic renewal for
additional one year periods as of July 1, of each year, unless the
Company or the Executive notifies the other party of an intent not to
renew at least 90 days prior to expiration of the existing term. The
Executive receives a car allowance, as well as certain other benefits,
such as health and disability insurance. The Executive is also
entitled to receive incentive compensation based upon targets
formulated by the Company's Compensation Committee.
Prior to a change in control, the Company has the right to

(12) Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors
adopted a Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of
certain key employees. An aggregate of 241,667 shares of Common Stock

the Company's Compensation Committee. On July 31, 1997, an aggregate
of 241,667 restricted shares were issued to two employees, subject to
certain vesting requirements over a three year period. An aggregate
of 175,000 shares will vest over a three year period based on certain
performance goals set forth in the Plan. An aggregate of 66,667
shares will vest over a two year period based on continued employment
with the Company by the holder. If the vesting requirements are not
met, the restricted shares theretofore issued will be forfeited and
thereafter be subject to allocation under the plan thereafter. Prior
to vesting, the holders will receive all of the benefits of ownership
of the restricted shares, but will not have the right to transfer such
unvested shares.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition
General
The Company's business is related primarily to the level of
construction activity in Florida and Georgia. The majority of the
Company's products are sold to building materials dealers located
principally in Florida and Georgia who provide materials to
contractors and subcontractors engaged in the construction of
residential, commercial and industrial buildings and swimming
pools. One indicator of the level and trend of construction
activity is the amount of construction permits issued for the
construction of buildings. The level of construction activity is
subject to population growth, inventory of available housing units,
government growth policies and construction funding, among other
things.
Results of Operations
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to 1996
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased
$1,052,000, or approximately 15%, compared to the same period in
1996. For the three months ended June 30, 1997, net sales
increased $632,000, or approximately 17%, compared to the same
quarter in 1996. Approximately $672,000 of the increase in sales
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was derived from the sale of
Acrocrete products, together with certain complementary products
manufactured by other companies, which were sold through the
Company's wholesale distribution facilities. Premix products,
principally a roof tile mortar product, accounted for the balance
of the increase in sales.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the six months
and three months ended June 30, 1997, was approximately 31% and
32%, respectively, compared to 28% and 27% in the comparable
periods in 1996. The increase in gross profit margins was
principally due to savings realized from raw material purchases and
modifications made to the Company's manufacturing process to gain
greater production efficiency.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of net sales for the six months and three months ended June 30,
1997 was approximately 24% and 23%, respectively, compared to 22%
and 21%, for the same periods in 1996. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997
increase $340,000, or approximately 22% compared to 1996. The
increase in expenses was primarily due to expenses associated with
the expanded operations and additional sales and delivery expenses
associated with servicing the increased volume of business.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
Results of Operations (continued)
Six Months Ended and Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to
1996 (continued)
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased
$10,000, or approximately 6%, compared to 1996, primarily because
of increased borrowings under its line of credit with its
commercial lender to fund working capital requirements resulting
from increased sales.
As a result of the above factors and after giving effect to
derived net income applicable to common stockholders of $276,000,
or $.04 per share in 1997, compared to net income of $122,000, or
$.02 per share, in 1996. Net income applicable to common
stockholders includes charges of $165,000 in the 1997 and 1996
six month periods for unpaid cumulative dividends on preferred
stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of
approximately $1,222,000 compared to working capital of $872,000 at
December 31, 1996. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had cash and
cash equivalents of $398,000.
The Company's principal source of short-term liquidity is
existing cash on hand and the utilization of a $2,000,000 line of
credit with a commercial lender scheduled to expire on June 20,
1998. Premix and Acrocrete, the Company's subsidiaries, borrow on
the line of credit collateralized by, its eligible accounts
receivable and inventory. Borrowings under the line of credit is
limited to 80% of the net collectible value of eligible accounts
receivable and 30% of the net realizable value of eligible
inventory. Generally, accounts not collected within 120 days are
not eligible accounts receivable under the Company's borrowing
agreement with its commercial lender. At June 30, 1997, $1,395,000
had been borrowed against $2,000,000 in available lines of credit
limits.
Trade accounts receivable represent amounts due from building
materials dealers located principally in Florida and Georgia who
have purchased products on an unsecured open account basis and
sales directly to the end-user (contractors and subcontractors),
through Company owned warehouse distribution outlets. As a result
of a higher level of sales generated in 1997 compared to 1996, the
Company's accounts receivable increased from $1,653,000 at December
31, 1996 to $2,300,000 at June 30, 1997.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
The Company's common stockholders' deficit of $5,580,000 at
June 30, 1997, resulted primarily from losses incurred in 1987 and
prior years, and unpaid cumulative dividends required by the
Company's issued and outstanding preferred stock. The Company has
attempted to generate net income and adequate cash to support
operations by various methods, including the commencement of
manufacturing acrylic stucco products, opening warehouse
distribution outlets to sell its products directly to the end user,
the development and sale of new products, and changes to its
manufacturing processes to gain greater production efficiency. In
the first six months of 1997, these actions enabled the Company to
derive net income of $441,000 prior to the application of unpaid
dividends on the redeemable preferred stock, compared to a net
income of $287,000 in 1996.
The Company has omitted payment of cash dividends on its
preferred stock since the fourth quarter of 1985, and has accrued
$3,879,000 of dividends in arrears on the preferred stock as of
June 30, 1997. The Company is continuing its efforts to develop a
plan to satisfy the preferred stock dividend arrearage and
mandatory sinking fund requirements which would be acceptable to
its stockholders.
The Company believes its cash on hand and the maintenance of
its borrowing arrangement with its commercial lender will provide
sufficient cash to supplement any cash shortfalls from operations
and provide adequate liquidity for the next twelve months.
The Company has no material capital expenditures scheduled for
the next twelve months, other than expenditures that the Company
is expected to spend to upgrade the Company's manufacturing
facilities in Atlanta, Georgia and Casselberry, Florida. The
Company expended approximately $100,000 in the first six months of
1997 to upgrade its manufacturing processes in its facilities and
estimates it will require an additional $100,000 for improvements
to its equipment and facilities. Additionally, the Company is
presently evaluating certain other cost reduction projects aimed at
consolidating and expanding manufacturing capabilities to more
closely mirror market geographic demands.
The ability of the Company to maintain and improve its long
term liquidity is dependent upon the Company's ability to
successfully (i) achieve long-term profitable operations; (ii) pay
or otherwise satisfy omitted preferred stock dividends and
preferred stock redemption requirements; and (iii) resolve current
litigation on terms favorable to the Company.
