                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                    ----------------------------------------

To the Stockholder of Kentile, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The
Business Acquired from Kentile Floors, Inc. as described in Note 1 (the
"Company" or "the Business Acquired") as of December 31, 1993, and the related
statements of income and expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets and liabilities of The Business Acquired from
Kentile Floors, Inc. as of December 31, 1993, and its income and expenses and
cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2, on November 20, 1992, Kentile Floors, Inc. ("KFI") filed
a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of
assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  On
March 14, 1994, certain assets were acquired and liabilities were assumed from
KFI by Kentile, Inc. ("Kentile"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Capital
Corp.  The accompanying financial statements of the Business Acquired also
include certain liabilities subject to compromise which arose from the
operations of the Business Acquired prior to the date that KFI filed for
bankruptcy in the manner described in Notes 2 and 4.  The accompanying financial
statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the ultimate disposition
of liabilities subject to compromise or the effect of the acquisition of the
Business Acquired by Kentile.

                 THE BUSINESS ACQUIRED FROM KENTILE FLOORS, INC.
                 -----------------------------------------------

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------

                                DECEMBER 31, 1993
                                -----------------

                  (dollars in thousands, except per share data)
                  ---------------------------------------------

(1) FORMATION OF THE COMPANY:
    -------------------------

     Kentile, Inc. ("Kentile"), formerly known as Kentile Acquisition Corp., was
     formed on July 8, 1993 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Capital
     Corp. ("UCC").  The authorized capital stock of Kentile consists of 1,000
     shares of common stock (par value $.01 per share) and 2,000 shares of
     preferred stock (par value $.01 per share, 8% cumulative, convertible) of
     which 100 shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 1993.  On
     March 14, 1994, 875 preferred shares were issued.

     Pursuant to an order approved by the Bankruptcy Court, on March 14, 1994
     Kentile purchased substantially all of the operating assets of Kentile
     Floors, Inc. ("KFI") for approximately $9.6 million (the "Acquisition").
     The purchase price was comprised of approximately $6.5 million in bank
     financing and approximately $3.1 million in cash including cash paid by a
     subsidiary of UCC to permit the transfer of ownership of Kentile's Chicago
     facility.

     Kentile did not assume any liabilities of KFI relating to product liability
     claims for asbestos related matters, potential environmental liabilities
     that may exist at KFI's manufacturing facilities or other amounts
     outstanding prior to KFI's bankruptcy filing, including trade accounts
     payable, self-insurance obligations of KFI and certain secured indebtedness
     and accrued liabilities.

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis which
     reflects the historical results of KFI's operations which were acquired by
     Kentile (the "Business Acquired" or the "Company").  These results do not
     include costs of the bankruptcy, discussed in Note 2, incurred by KFI since
     future costs are not expected to be significant and will be borne directly
     by KFI and are not a part of the future operations of the Business
     Acquired.  Certain allocations between the Business Acquired and KFI have
     been reflected in the historical financial statements based on methods that
     management believes to be reasonable.  These financial statements do not
     give effect to the acquisition of the Business Acquired by Kentile.

(2) CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY FILING:
    -----------------------------

     On November 20, 1992 (the "Petition Date"), KFI filed a voluntary petition
     for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the
     United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Under
     Chapter 11, certain claims against KFI in existence prior to the filing of
     the petition for relief are stayed while KFI continues business operations
     as Debtors-in-Possession.  The estimated portion of these claims related to
     the Business Acquired are reflected in the accompanying December 31, 1993
     statement of assets and liabilities as "liabilities subject to compromise"
     and were not assumed by Kentile in connection with the Acquisition.
     Additional claims may arise subsequent to the filing date resulting from
     rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and from the
     determination by the Court (or agreed to by parties-in-interest) of allowed
     claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts.  Such additional
     claims, if any, will also be considered as liabilities subject to
     compromise.  Claims secured against KFI's assets (secured claims) are also
     stayed, although the holders of such claims are secured primarily by liens
     on certain of KFI's accounts receivable, inventories and property, plant
     and equipment.


     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
     basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets
     and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  The
     accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating
     to the ultimate disposition of liabilities subject to compromise.

(3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
     ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    ----------------------

     Business-
     ---------

          The Company is a major manufacturer and supplier of resilient
          vinyl flooring and is comprised of the operations of KFI which
          were acquired in March 1994 (see Note 1).  These operations are
          presently conducted from a 315,000 square-foot manufacturing and
          headquarters facility located in Chicago, Illinois and numerous
          sales offices located throughout the United States.  The
          Company's products include resilient vinyl tile for use in the
          commercial flooring industry, a line of vinyl wall base products
          marketed under the Kencove brand name and other supporting
          products which include adhesives, cleaners and waxes.

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

          Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is
          determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

</TABLE>


Income Taxes-
- - -------------

     At December 31, 1993, KFI has net operating loss carryforwards and
     certain tax credits available to offset its future taxable income for
     financial reporting purposes.  Such tax attributes are not available
     to the Business Acquired.  Accordingly, no income tax benefit has been
     recorded in the accompanying financial statements during 1993 and no
     income taxes were paid in 1993.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets-
- - ------------------------------------------

     The Company capitalizes certain promotional materials (i.e., displays,
     catalogs, product samples, etc.) as prepaid assets until the materials are
     distributed to the market place.  Selling expense is recorded when
     materials are distributed.

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

     The Company manufactures and sells its products to wholesale distributors.
     Substantially all end sales are to the commercial real estate industry. All
     of the Company's distributors are located in the United States.  In terms
     of sales, the majority are located on the east coast.  Sales to the ten
     largest distributors, in terms of sales, accounted for 47% of net sales in
     1993.  Four of these distributors each account for more than 5% of 1993 net
     sales.  Sales to these four customers totaled $15,697 in 1993.

(4) LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE:
    ----------------------------------

     As a result of the Chapter 11 filing (see Note 2), enforcement of certain
     claims (liabilities subject to compromise) against KFI in existence prior
     to the Petition Date are stayed pending a determination of the Bankruptcy
     Court.

     At December 31, 1993, the Company's liabilities subject to compromise are
     stated at management's estimate of the total amount of allowed claims
     applicable to the Business Acquired and not at the amounts for which claims
     may be settled.  Such amounts subject to compromise were not assumed by
     Kentile in the Acquisition.  The amounts listed below may be subject to
     future adjustments depending on further developments with respect to
     disputes or unresolved claims.

<TABLE>

       <S>                                                            <C>

                                                                      -------
            Liabilities subject to compromise                         $13,919
                                                                      --------
                                                                      --------

</TABLE>

     The amounts due to the secured lender by the Company are comprised of
     $1,589 of principal and $226 of accrued and unpaid interest (12% for the
     year ended December 31, 1993).  Such amounts represent the portion of total
     indebtedness which was allocated to the Business Acquired on a basis
     management believes to be reasonable.  As of December 31, 1993, KFI owed
     $6,356 of total principal and interest of $903 to the secured lender
     including such amounts apportioned to the Company as noted above.  Such
     amounts were collateralized by first mortgages on KFI's South Plainfield,
     New Jersey facility and the Company's Chicago, Illinois, facility and a
     subordinated security interest in the Company's accounts receivable,
     inventories and equipment.  KFI was not in compliance with certain
     provisions of the loan agreement at December 31, 1993.  In February 1994,
     the secured lender sold its position in such debt to a subsidiary of UCC
     for $3 million.  As a result, Kentile was able to complete the purchase of
     the Chicago facility in connection with the Acquisition discussed in Note
     1.  UCC has an outstanding claim against KFI in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy
     proceedings.

(5) REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
     SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE:
    ------------------------

     KFI had a revolving credit agreement with Congress Financial Corp.
     ("Congress") which provided maximum borrowings of up to $10,000,000.  Such
     borrowings were collateralized by all of KFI's accounts receivable,
     inventories and equipment including the assets acquired by Kentile in the
     Acquisition.  As of December 31, 1993, KFI owed Congress $7,847 in
     connection with borrowings outstanding under the loan including amounts
     advanced pursuant to the $2 million letter of credit provided by UCC (see
     Note 7).  Interest expense included in the accompanying statement of income
     and expenses was based upon the application of the borrowing formula to the
     related assets of the Business Acquired.

     As of December 31, 1993, all amounts owed to Congress were related to the
     Business Acquired.  In connection with the Acquisition, Kentile, Inc.
     repaid the full amount due to Congress through new financing from  a
     financial institution.  This new financing is secured by the accounts
     receivable, inventories and equipment of Kentile.  This revolving facility
     provides for maximum borrowings of the lessor of $7,000,000 or the
     borrowing base, as defined, at the bank's prime lending rate plus 1-1/2%.
     This facility is due in April 1996 and includes, among other things,
     several financial covenants regarding capital expenditures and debt-to-
     equity ratios.

(6) PENSION PLAN:

     The Company assumed the responsibilities of KFI's defined benefit pension
     plan for hourly employees (the "Plan").  The Company determined its pension
     expense and funded status as required under Financial Accounting Standard
     No. 87.

     The following table sets forth the Plan's funded status and amounts
     recognized in the Company's acompanying statement of assets and liabilities
     at December 31, 1993 as determined by the Company's actuary-

The estimated portion of net pension income in 1993 attributable to the Acquired
Business is comprised of the following-


     Service cost -- benefits earned during the period                   $139
     Interest cost on projected benefit obligation                        420
     Actual return on plan assets                                        (749)
     Net amortization and deferral                                        (85)
                                                                       -------

          Net pension income related to the Business Acquired           ($275)
                                                                       -------
                                                                       -------

</TABLE>

The actuarial assumptions used for determining the present value of accumulated
benefit obligations, as measured on December 31, 1993, are as follows:  the
weighted average assumed discount rate used was 7.5%, the weighted average
expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 10%, and as benefit levels
are fixed and predetermined by the Plan, there is no assumed rate of increase in
future compensation levels.  Accordingly, the projected benefit obligation
equals the accumulated benefit obligation.

No contributions were made in 1993.

(7) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
    ---------------------------

     During 1993, UCC advanced $775,000 to KFI.  Such amount was applied to the
     purchase price of the Company pursuant to the Acquisition discussed in
     Note 1.

     Subsequent to KFI's bankruptcy filing in November 1992, UCC acquired a one
     third equity interest in KFI together with an option to purchase an
     additional interest in the future.  In consideration for this interest and
     option in KFI, UCC provided a $2 million letter of credit to partially
     guarantee borrowings under KFI's revolving line of credit agreement with
