ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

                  On October 5, 2000, Summa Industries, a Delaware corporation
                  ("Registrant"), consummated its purchase of all of the issued
                  and outstanding shares of Plastic Specialties, Inc., a
                  California corporation ("PSI"), pursuant to the terms of that
                  certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 4, 2000 (the
                  "Purchase Agreement") among Registrant and the individuals and
                  entities who were all of the shareholders of PSI
                  (collectively, the "Shareholders").

                  The aggregate purchase price paid for the shares of PSI was
                  approximately $11.2 million, consisting of (i) $6.3 million in
                  cash, and (ii) the assumption and prepayment of $4.9 million
                  in interest bearing indebtedness. The aggregate purchase price
                  was determined through negotiations between Registrant and the
                  Shareholders.

                  Registrant also offered to grant to certain management
                  employees of PSI (i) the right to purchase, within thirty days
                  following consummation of the acquisition, up to a maximum of
                  50,000 restricted shares of Registrant's common stock at a
                  recent market price, and (ii) an equal number of non-statutory
                  stock options to acquire Registrant's common stock at the same
                  recent market price, with such options to vest based on the
                  percentage obtained by dividing the net income of PSI after
                  closing by $3.0 million, or fully in nine years.

                  PSI is a leading manufacturer of thermoplastic lenses for the
                  lighting industry. PSI's products are primarily used in
                  fluorescent light fixtures. PSI's assets consist primarily of
                  real property, plant and equipment, molds, trade accounts
                  receivable and inventory. All of PSI's assets, which are
                  located in Olive Branch, Mississippi and City of Industry,
                  California, will be used in the on-going operations of PSI in
                  a manner consistent with their prior use.

                  The funds used for the purchase price were borrowed from
                  Registrant's primary lenders, led by Comerica Bank-California,
                  a California banking corporation ("Comerica"), pursuant to an
                  Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated March 5, 1999, as
                  amended on April 21, 1999 and November 23, 1999 (collectively,
                  the "Loan Agreement"). Lender acts as the agent under the Loan
                  Agreement for the financial institutions that are parties
                  thereto.
