To Our Shareholders
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SBM Industries' sales increased to $16,531,000 in 1995 from $13,930,000 in 1994.
However, the Company had a loss of $707,000 or 35c per share in 1995 compared to
a profit from continuing operations of $514,000 or 25c per share in 1994. Also,
the Company had a non-recurring gain from the sale of its last remaining radio
station of $605,000 or 30c per share in 1994. Please see the accompanying
financial statements for details.

At SBM's Star Struck subsidiary, sales of watch batteries, jewelry findings and
watch straps suffered from the mediocre year experienced by the retail jewelry
industry while profitability suffered from less than expected sales. The
Company's financial performance was also adversely effected by problems in
integrating recent acquisitions and managing the marketing efforts necessary to
build further increases in sales. Increased selling, general and administrative
expenses were incurred as the Company endeavored to create a more effective
organization. Having backed and filled, we have come a long way. Now the main
focus will be to build on the organization, especially in marketing and customer
service.

On the positive side, our watch strap manufacturing company, R.C. Manufacturing,
has been doing quite well. In 1995 it gained important new business. Its
revenues increased 50% last year and it is now operating profitably.

Despite increased sales at Carlton Press, our subsidy publishing business, that
company's financial performance was very disappointing in 1995. Management
failed to keep cost of goods sold and operating expenses in line. A top
management change was made at Carlton in the first quarter of this year. Though
it is too early to judge, we believe operations have stabilized. We are
guardedly optimistic.

In last year's President letter, I wrote; "The major focus in 1995 will be to
integrate our acquisitions, and expand middle management to properly manage
anticipated growth with an acceptable level of profits." It was easier said than
done. We do expect the organizational changes will be effective. Therefore, we
should achieve better financial results in 1996


Very truly yours,

/s/ Peter Nisselson

                                                            SBM Industries, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary of Major Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation

These financial statements include the accounts of SBM Industries, Inc. (the
"Company") and its subsidiaries, Star Struck, Inc. ("SSI"), Carlton Press Corp.
("CPC"), and RCM, Inc. ("RCM"). SSI is 100% owned by the Company, while CPC and
RCM are 80% owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.

Utilization of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories

Inventories, with the exception of gold, are stated at the lower of cost (first-
in, first-out) or market. Gold inventory is valued at market. Inventories
consist principally of finished goods.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The company provides for depreciation generally using the straight-line method
for financial reporting and an accelerated method for income tax purposes.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:

       Assets                               Life
       ------                               ----
       Office Equipment                5-7 Years
       Machinery and Equipment        7-10 Years
       Building and Improvements   31.5-39 Years

Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Renewals and betterments
are capitalized. Upon retirement or other disposition of property, the cost and
related depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts. Gains and
losses on such retirements are included in income.

Net Income/(Loss) Per Share

Net income/(loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during each year.

Revenue Recognition

SSI and RCM recognize revenue upon shipment of merchandise to customers. CPC
records revenue upon the completion of certain production benchmarks as defined
in each manuscript contract.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets," which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an
entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The
Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect
on its financial position or results of operations.

Additionally,  the FASB has issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation." This statement establishes financial accounting and reporting
standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. The accounting
requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for transactions entered into in
fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1994, though they may be adopted upon
issuance. The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The
Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect
on its financial position or results of operations.

Amortization of Intangibles

Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen, twenty, or
forty years. Subsequent to its acquisitions, the Company continually evaluates
whether later events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining
estimated useful life of goodwill may warrant revision or that the remaining
balance of goodwill may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that goodwill
should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the
related business segments undiscounted net income over the remaining life of the
goodwill in measuring whether the goodwill is recoverable.

Major components of intangibles are as follows:

                                  Amortization   
Amounts in thousands            Period (Years)     1995
                                --------------  ------- 
Non-compete agreements                    7-10  $ 1,427

3. Marketable Securities

Beginning in 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." This Statement requires the classification of debt and equity
securities based on whether the securities will be held to maturity, are
considered trading securities or are available-for-sale. Classification within
these categories requires the securities to be reported at their fair market
value with unrealized gains and losses included either in current earnings or
reported as a separate component of shareholders' investment, depending on the
ultimate classification. The adoption of this Statement, which resulted in all
marketable securities being classified as trading securities, did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had sold all marketable securities. The gain
on the sale of such securities has been reflected in the statement of income for
the year ended December 31, 1995.

4. Stock Options

The 1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan of SBM Industries, Inc. is a qualified plan
which reserved 100,000 shares of the Company's unissued common stock for
issuance to officers and salaried employees at option prices not less than 100%
of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options are exercisable after the
date of grant and expire five years from the date of grant.

Shares authorized, granted and available under the Stock Option Plan are as
follows:

                   Authorized  Granted   Option Price  Available 
                   ----------  -------   ------------  ---------
Balance at                                             
December 31, 1992   100,000     2,500       $4.00  
Canceled in 1993                 (500)             
Granted in 1993                 5,500       $3.31  
Granted in 1994                 3,300       $7.50  
Granted in 1995                25,000       $6.00   
Canceled in 1995               (1,400)                   65,600 


4351 of the shares granted are exercisable at December 31, 1995 at option prices
ranging from $3.31 to $ 7.50 per share.

After one year waiting period twenty-five percent of the options granted may be
exercised in each of the next four years.

5. Borrowings Under Line of Credit

The Company has a $1,000,000 line of credit with a bank which extends through
May 31, 1996. Borrowings under the line bear interest at the prime rate plus one
percent (9.5% at December 31, 1995). The agreement contains certain financial
covenants, the most restrictive of which requires the Company to increase
tangible net worth from that of the prior year. As of December 31, 1995, the
Company had $750,000 outstanding under the line of credit.

6. Notes Payable

The Company's outstanding long-term debt as of December 31, 1995, is summarized

7. Income Taxes

expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The source of these
differences and the tax effects are as follows:

At December 31, 1995, for tax reporting purposes, the Company had approximately
$1,370,000 of operating loss carryforwards. The tax operating loss carryforwards
will begin expiring in 2005.

In 1994, approximately $600,000 of the net operating loss carryforward was
utilized to offset taxable income which resulted from the disposal of WWMY-FM.
(See Note 8)

8. Acquisitions & Disposals

On August 29, 1994, SBM Industries, Inc., through its Star Struck, Inc. ("SSI")
subsidiary, purchased the business of Freedman & Sons, Corp., ("Freedman") a
distributor of watch straps. The purchase price was $610,000, which represented
the  approximate book value of the assets acquired (inventory, accounts
receivable, and fixed assets). A cash payment of $350,000 was made at closing
and the balance is represented by a $260,000 note payable.

In October 1994, RCM, Inc., an 80% owned subsidiary of SBM (through its wholly
owned subsidiary SSI) acquired certain assets of R.C. Manufacturing, Inc., a
watch strap manufacturer. The purchase price was $280,000 in cash and notes,
which represented the approximate book value of the assets acquired. Previous
owners continue as management and have employment and profit participation
agreements.

In October 1994, SBM Industries, Inc., through SSI, purchased certain assets of
Timecraft, Inc.'s watch battery distribution product line. The purchase price
for the approximate book value of the assets was $525,000. In addition, the
Company entered into a five year sales commission agreement based on sales to a
specific customer.

In January 1994, the Company sold the assets of WWMY-FM Broadcasting, Inc. to
Voyager Communications, Inc., pursuant to their July 1991 agreement, for
approximately $1,800,000 in cash. The gain on the disposal of $597,000 and the
income from operations of $8,000 have been recognized as discontinued operations
in the 1994 consolidated statement of income.

</TABLE> 

*Includes corporate assets amounting to $381,000, which largely consists of cash
and a note receivable.

The majority of the customers in the battery and watch strap distribution line
of business are small retail jewelers nationwide. Revenue generated in the
subsidy publishing segment can be attributable to authors located throughout the
United States. The watch strap manufacturing sales are made to watch strap
distributors in the United States and Hong Kong.

11. Related Party Transactions

Note Receivable of $250,000 represents an amount due from CPC'S minority
shareholder for his interest in the subsidiary related to his portion of the
purchase price of CPC which was paid by the Company. The amount is payable in
eight annual installments beginning December 31, 1996 through December 31, 2003.
Interest is payable annually at 6% commencing December 31, 1994.

During 1994, the Company redeemed the preferred stock held by an officer of the
Company at the liquidation preference of $100 per share.

12. Major Customers

During 1995 and 1994, 14% and 11%, respectively, of the Company's total sales
were made to a single customer in the battery and watch strap distribution line
of business. Additionally, in 1995, 11% of the Company's total sales were made
to another customer in the same line of business.

13. Commitments

The Company leases certain property and equipment under operating leases
expiring on various dates through 2000. Total rent expense amounted to $188,268
and $137,696 in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Aggregate future minimum rent
payments under the terms of non-cancelable leases as of December 31 are as
follows:

       1996    $157,000
       1997      74,000
       1998      68,000
       1999       9,000
       2000       3,000

During 1994, the Company entered into consulting agreements which include annual
payments of $160,000. In addition, the Company entered into a sales commission
agreement on sales to a certain customer. These agreements expire in three to
five years.

14. Contingencies

Securities litigation is pending in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York against the Company and some of its directors.
This is a consolidated action in which plaintiffs, allegedly suing on behalf of
all shareholders similarly situated, allege securities fraud as to the Company's
originally published reports of earnings for the first three quarters of 1994.
The alleged classes of plaintiffs consist of persons who purchased the Company's
stock between specified dates in May 1994 and February 1995. As the matter is in
the early stages, and no discovery has been made, it is too soon to assess the
outcome. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1995
- ----

Net Sales

Total sales for SBM Industries, Inc. ("SBM" or the Company) in 1995 increased
19% to $16,531,000 from $13,930,000 in 1994. These sales, as well as the sales
and earnings from continuing operation for the five years covered by the
foregoing financial statements and selected financial statements and selected
financial data, are primarily attributable to SBM's Star Struck, Inc. ("SSI")
subsidiary.

Sales for SSI were $13,094,000, up 13% from $11,560,000 in 1994. This increase
is due to the inclusion of a full year of Freedman & Sons, corp. ("Freedman")
and Timecraft Industries, Inc. ("TCI") sales, as well as consistent growth of
existing product lines.

Carlton Press Corp. ("CPC"), the Company's 80% owned subsidy publishing company,
had sales of $2,505,000. This is an 18% increase over 1994's sales of
$2,129,000. CPC has increased in the completion of manuscript contracts and
increased revenue recognition.

RCM. Inc. ("RCM"). SBM's 80% owned watch strap manufacturer, had sales of
$932,000. This $691,000 increase over 1994 sales of $241,000 can be attributed
to the additional revenue obtains from a major new customer and the inclusion of
a full year of sales, as opposed to 1994 sales which only reflected three months
of activity.

Gross Profit

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 43% in 1995 from 47% in
1994.

SSI's gross profit on sales of 41% was consistent with that of prior years.

CPC's increased rate of production led to an increase in the number of contracts
flowing through the final stage of completion which generates the lowest profit
margin. This resulted in CPC's gross profit on sales of 58%; a decrease of 16%
from 1994's gross margin of 74%.

RCM's gross profit on sales decreased 20% to 23% from 43% in 1994. This decrease
is attributable to start up costs incurred in the production of a sample line
for RCM's new customer which were only slightly offset by volume purchase
discounts for its increased level of inventory.

Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales,
increased to 44% in 1995 as compared with 41% in 1994 for the Company. This
increase is a combination of several items. Salaries have increased in each
entity with the Company's commitment to growth in hiring additional personnel.
Prior years' acquisitions continue to increase selling, general and
administrative expenses through consulting and sales commission agreements.
During 1995, approximately $343,000 in consulting fees and $159,000 in sales
commissions were recorded.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income decreased by $1,156,000 to show a loss of $647,000 from a
profit of $509,000 in 1994. Reflected in 1995's operating loss was SSI's profit
of $102,000, which was offset by CPC's and RCM's operating losses of $327,000
and $341,000, respectively, and SBM's corporate loss of $81,000.

Interest Expense

Net interest expense was $145,000 in 1995, up $110,000 from $35,000 in 1994.
Approximately $43,000 in interest expense related to the additional borrowings
on the Company's line of credit was recorded in 1995. Interest on a refinanced
mortgage totaled approximately $37,000 in 1995.

Net Income

The Company showed a net loss of $707,000, or $(.35) per share in 1995, compared
with a profit of $1,119,000, or $.55 per share in 1994. 1995's results did not
have the benefit of the income and gain on the disposal of WWMY-FM Broadcasting,
Inc. ("WWMY-FM") as did 1994's results. Income from continuing operations
decreased $1,221,000, or $.60 per share.

1994
- ----

In January 1994, SBM sold the assets of WWMY-FM to Voyager Communications for
approximately $1,800,000. The gain on the disposal, $597,000, and the income
from operations of $8,000 have been recognized as discontinued operations in the
1994 consolidated statement of income. The following discussion and analysis
does not reflect WWMY-FM's operating results.

Since divesting itself of its radio station business, the Company has been
seeking to expand into other business areas to improve return on its shareholder
investment. SBM is now a distributor of watch batteries and jewelry findings,
and a manufacturer and distributor of watch straps, as well as an 80% owner of
CPC.

On August 29, 1994, SBM, through its Star Struck, Inc. subsidiary, purchased the
business of Freedman a distributor of watch straps. Freedman's operations will
be combined with SSI's Sahara and Town & Country watch strap lines. Thetotal
purchase price was $610,000,which represented the approximate book value of the
assets acquired (inventory,

accounts receivable, and fixed assets). A cash payment of $350,000 was made at
closing and the balance is represented by a $260,000 interest bearing note
payable.

In October 1994, RCM, an 80% owned subsidiary of SBM (through its wholly owned
subsidiary SSI) acquired certain assets of R.C. Manufacturing, Inc., a watch
strap manufacturer. The purchase price was $280,000 in cash and notes, which
represented the approximate book value of the assets acquired. Previous R.C.
Manufacturing, Inc. owners continue as management and have employment and profit
participation agreements. Operations will remain in St. Petersburg, Florida.

In October 1994, SBM, through SSI, purchased certain assets of TCI watch battery
distribution product line. The purchase price for the approximate book value of
the assets was $525,000. In addition, the Company entered into a five year sales
commission agreement based on sales to a specific customer. The acquired assets
will be combined with SSI's watch battery operations.

Net Sales

Total sales for the Company in 1994 increased 75% to $13,930,000 from $7,946,000
in 1993. These sales, as well as the sales and earnings from continuing
operations for the five years covered by the foregoing financial statements and
selected financial data, are primarily attributable to SSI.

Sales for SSI were $11,560,000, up 48% from $7,823,000 in 1993. This increase is
not due to higher prices, but rather the increased volume of existing products
and from recent acquisitions. Freedman sales accounted for 4% of total sales for
SSI, while sales to the additional customers gained through the acquisition of
TCI's watch battery distribution product line accounted for 5% of SSI's sales.

CPC's sales of $2,129,000 (15% of total sales) were up from 1993 sales of
$123,000. This is because 1994 reflects a full year of CPC operations, as
opposed to 1993 which reflects one month.

The acquisition of RCM in October 1994 brought in additional sales of $241,000,
or 2% of the Company's total sales. The acquisition of the watch strap
manufacturer has enabled SSI to expedite its watch strap sourcing.

Gross Profit

Gross Profit, as a percentage of sales, increased to 47% in 1994 from 45% in
1993. The improvement in gross profit reflects SSI's ability to take advantage
of purchase discounts and, with increased volume in the watch battery
distribution line, obtain better pricing from its major vendors. Also reflected
in the Company's gross margin is CPC's and Freedman's gross profit on sales of
74% and 67%, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales,
decreased to 41% in 1994 as compared with 43% in 1993 for the Company. The
overall decrease in the percentage of selling, general and administrative
expenses compared to sales was partially offset by additional expenditures
incurred in 1994 related to the Company's entering into consulting and sales
commission agreements, as well as non-compete  agreements. During the last four
months of 1994, approximately $53,000 in consulting fees, $85,000 in sales
commissions and $30,000 in amortization of non-compete agreements were recorded.
These agreements will continue for three to seven and one-half years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The net decreased in cash and cash equivalents of $66,000 is attributable to the
$772,000 used in operating activities. Inventory levels in 1995 increased
$901,000 or 31% over 1994. This increase is necessary to fulfill the needs of
customers on a timely basis. Investing activities provided $327,000. The sale of
the Company's marketable securities provided $569,000, while $242,000 was
expended for fixed assets. During 1995, the Company repaid $870,000 of its
outstanding debt. This included $549,000 associated with the existing mortgage
on the building at Star Struck, which was refinanced.

The Company has a line of credit agreement with one of its banks. The Company
has $1,000,000 available under the line of credit, of which $750,000 was used at
December 31, 1995.

The Company believes that it has adequate funds available to conduct and
continue its business and to repay the approximate $276,000 in long-term debt
which will mature in 1996

Contingencies

Securities litigation is pending in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York against the Company and some of its directors.
This is a consolidated action in which plaintiffs, allegedly suing on behalf of
all shareholders similarly situated, allege securities fraud as to the Company's
