Note 3.  Legal Proceedings

As previously reported, as a result of an embezzlement of funds by a former
financial officer and of other financial irregularities in Marietta's financial
statements discovered by the Company during 1991, the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the United States Attorney were each conducting independent
investigations.  The investigation by the United States Attorney is concluded;
however, the investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission is
continuing.

As previously reported, an action has been commenced by a former owner of
Marietta American, Inc. (formerly American Soap Company, Inc.), and by
California Soap, Inc. and two of its shareholders.  This complaint alleges,
among other things, misrepresentations and omissions in connection with the
Company's acquisition of Marietta American, Inc., misrepresentations in and
omissions from various financial and other statements made by the Company,
breaches of contract and other violations of federal and state laws.  This
action seeks an unspecified amount of damages.  No assurance can be given as to
the outcome of this action, which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
         of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations
- ---------------------


Quarter ended April 1, 1995 compared with the quarter ended April 2, 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales increased in the quarter ended April 1, 1995 by 3.4% to $17,574,000
from $16,990,000 in the prior year's second quarter.  The increase of $584,000
was attributed to an increase of approximately $843,000 in guest amenity sales
partially offset by a decrease of approximately $259,000 in custom packaging
sales.  Custom packaging sales continued to be affected by delays in receiving
customer-supplied materials which in turn caused delays in shipment of finished
products by Marietta.

For the second quarter of fiscal 1995 the Company's gross profit decreased to
21.6% of sales from 27.8% during the same period of fiscal 1994.  Higher
material costs and changes in product mix negatively impacted gross margin.  In
addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 1995 the Company experienced a
mechanical breakdown of certain of its soap manufacturing equipment which caused
an interruption in its ability to manufacture soap.  This necessitated the
purchase of soap chips (the raw materials used in making soap bars) on the open
market at higher costs to the Company.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales,
decreased slightly to 22.1% in the current quarter from 22.5% in the second
quarter of fiscal 1994.  During the second quarter of 1995 the Company paid
$250,000 to Goldman, Sachs & Co. in connection with its retention as the
Company's financial advisor and the Company reversed $310,000 of legal expenses
which previously had been accrued in connection with defense costs incurred by
the Company's former Chief Executive Officer.  In addition, legal charges
increased $148,000 over the prior year's quarter, primarily in connection with
the matters relating to the unsolicited proposal made by Dickstein Partners to
acquire the Company, which proposal was rejected as inadequate.

Other income (expense), net represents the netting of interest expense,
investment income and other miscellaneous income and expense.  For the second
quarter of fiscal 1995 interest and other miscellaneous expense was $154,000
compared to $96,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  This increase was due
to slightly higher interest rates and to an increase in miscellaneous expenses.
Investment income was $209,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared
to $123,000 in 1994.  This increase was due to higher rates of return on both
restricted cash and Canadian deposits combined with larger invested balances in
these areas.  Other miscellaneous income, which is primarily profit on the sale
of inventory components was approximately $40,000 in 1995 compared to $17,000 in
the second quarter of 1994.

Taxes are provided in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 even though a pre-tax
loss of approximately $4,000 was incurred.  This provision results from the
imposition of state and provincial francise/equity taxes.  These taxes are based
primarily on the equity of the Company and are incurred despite the loss.  The
effective tax rate for federal, state and foreign income taxes was 39.6% in the
second quarter of fiscal 1994.

Six months ended April 1, 1995 compared with the six months ended April 2, 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the six months ended April 2, 1995 decreased by 2.4% to
$30,683,000 from $31,424,000 in the prior year.  The decrease of $741,000 was
attributable to a decreasae in custom packaging sales of $1,950,000 partially
offset by an increase in guest amenity sales of $1,209,000.  Custom packaging
sales continue to be affected by delays in receiving customer-supplied materials
which in turn caused a delay in shipment of finished products by Marietta.

In the first six months of fiscal 1995 the Company's gross profit decreased to
24.4% of sales from 26.8% during the same period of fiscal 1994.  Higher
material costs and changes in product mix negatively impacted gross margin.  In
addition, the interuption in the soap making process described above also
contributed to the decrease in the gross

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
margin.

Selling, general and administrative expense, as a percent of sales, increased to
23.8% of sales in the first six months of 1995 from 23.1% in the same period
during 1994.  During 1995 the Company paid $250,000 to Goldman, Sachs & Co. in
connection with its retention as the Company's financial advisor and the Company
reversed $310,000 of legal expenses which previously had been accrued in
connection with defense costs incurred by the Company's former Chief Executive
Officer.  In addition, legal charges increased $229,000 over the prior year.
This increase was attributable primarily to the matters relating to the above
referenced proposal made by Dickstein Partners and to continuing costs incurred
relating to an action by a former owner of Marietta American, Inc.

For the first six months of 1995 interest and other expense was $315,000
compared to $204,000 in the same period last year.  This increase is due to an
increase in rates over last year.  Investment income was $335,000 in the first
six months of fiscal 1995 as compared to $257,000 in 1994.  This increase is due
to higher rates of return on both restricted cash and Canadian Funds combined
with larger invested balances in these areas.  Other miscellaneous income of
approximately $122,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1995 was comparable to
miscellaneous income of approximately $129,000 in the same period during 1994.

Marietta's effective tax rate for federal, state and foreign income taxes was
48.6% in the first six months of 1995 compared to 41.0% for 1994.  Both
provisions were impacted by state and provincial francise/equity taxes.  This
impact had a greater effect on the 1995 rate, due to a lower pre-tax income.


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

The Company's working capital decreased to $23,918,000 at April 1, 1995 from
$25,142,000 at October 1, 1994.  Cash used by operating activities for the first
six months of 1995 was $460,000 compared to $572,000 being provided by operating
activities for the first six months of 1994.  The increase of cash used in
investing activities in 1995 as compared to 1994 was caused primarily by an
increase in capital expenditures.

The Company has a $12,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility, all of which was
available as of April 1, 1995.  The revolving credit portion of the facility
expires in October 1996, and thereafter the outstanding balance is payable in
equal quarterly installments over a four year period.  Borrowings under the
facility bear interest at the prime rate or, if elected by the Company, at an
interest rate 1.1% above the LIBOR rate.

Management believes that the Company is in sound financial condition as
evidenced by its total shareholders' equity of $46,407,000 versus its long-term
debt of $7,222,000.  Management believes that its current assets plus funds
provided by operations and the Company's existing line of credit and debt
capacity will be adequate to meet its anticipated capital and short-term needs.
Management also believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its
business.

Shareholders' equity was affected by a reduction in the Canadian exchange rate
and an increase in the fair value of certain long-term securities.  The Company
experienced a decline in the equity adjustment from foreign currency translation
of $259,000 as a result of a reduction in the Canadian exchange rate from 74.49%
at October 1, 1994 to 71.47% at April 1, 1995,  partially offset by an increase
in shareholders' equity of $155,000 due to the increase in the fair value of
certain long-term marketable securities.  During the second quarter the fair
value of these securities increased $321,000, offsetting a decline of $166,000
recorded in the first quarter ended December 31, 1994.

In fiscal 1995 the Company anticipates making expenditures for capital
improvements aggregating approximately $6,000,000.  To date, during fiscal 1995
the Company has authorized expenditures of approximately $4,700,000.

The Company is unable to determine the impact upon the Company's financial
condition 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
of an adverse determination, if any, in any action, proceeding or investigation
arising out of the events discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to Financial
Statements.

Seasonality
- -----------

The Company's guest amenity business is subject to some fluctuation in results
reflecting the seasonal nature of the travel and lodging industry.  As a
consequence the revenues from the Company's guest amenity business in its third
and fourth fiscal quarters tend to be slightly higher than during the rest of
the year.

- -------                                                                 
organized under the laws of the State of New York (the "Corporation"), the
                                                        -----------       
principal sum of One Hundred Twenty-one Thousand Five Hundred ($121,500) Dollars
on August 9, 1996 (the "Maturity Date").  This Note shall bear interest on the
                        -------------                                         
unpaid principal amount hereof at a rate per annum equal to 1.35% above the
three-month London Interbank Offered Rate in effect on the first day of each
calendar quarter, such interest rate changing on the first day of each calendar
quarter.  Such interest shall be due and payable on each February 9 and August
9, commencing on August 9, 1995 through and including the Maturity Date.  In the
event of the death or disability of Maker, the entire unpaid principal amount of
this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of
payment, shall be due and payable six months from the date of death or
disability.

          This Note is delivered to the Corporation in exchange for the Non-
Negotiable Promissory Note, dated February 9, 1994, of Maker to the Corporation,
in the principal amount of One Hundred Twenty-one Thousand Five Hundred
($121,500) Dollars.

          In the event that Maker shall sell any of the shares purchased
pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 9, 1989, between
Maker and the Corporation, the portion of the principal amount of this Note,
together with accrued interest, corresponding to the percentage that the number
of such shares sold bears to the total number of shares purchased pursuant to
such agreement, shall, to the extent not previously paid, immediately be due and
payable.

          To the extent permitted by law, overdue principal of and interest on
this Note shall continue to bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum, or at
the highest rate allowed by law if lower, until paid in full.

          Maker may prepay the principal outstanding hereunder, in whole or in
part, without premium or penalty at any time, with accrued interest to the date
of such prepayment.  Payment of principal and interest shall be made in lawful
money of the United States of America, to Marietta Corporation, 37 Huntington

York 13045, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by the
Corporation.

          Failure of the Corporation to assert any right hereunder shall not be
deemed to be a waiver thereof.  Maker waives notice of all action by the
Corporation.  No course of dealing by the Corporation and no failure or delay by
the Corporation in exercising any right, remedy or power shall preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or exercise of any other right or remedy.
Maker hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, diligence, protest, notice
of protest or non-payment, dishonor or acceleration, and all other demands and
notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or
enforcement of or under this Note.  Maker assents to any extension or
postponement of the time for payment or any other indulgence, and to the
addition, substitution or release of any other party or person primarily or
secondarily liable, and agrees to pay, to the extent permitted by law, all costs
and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, incurred or paid by the Corporation in enforcing this Note, whether or
not litigation is commenced.  Such costs shall be added to the balance of
principal and interest then due under this Note.  The Corporation may not
assign, transfer or pledge this Note.

          Upon a failure by Maker to make payment when due and payable of any
principal of this Note, or upon a failure by Maker to make payment of interest
on this Note for more than five days after receipt of written notice from the
Corporation with respect to his failure to make payment of such interest when
due and payable, the Corporation may, at its option, declare the entire unpaid
principal amount of this Note together with all interest due and payable through
the date of such declaration and all other amounts payable under this Note, to
be forthwith due and payable.

          Moreover, upon

          (i)   commencement of any voluntary proceeding by Maker under any
provision of Title 11 of the United States Code, as now or hereafter amended, or
of any other proceeding, under any law, now or hereafter in force, relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or otherwise to the relief
of debtors or the readjustment of indebtedness;

          (ii)   the making by Maker of an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or a composition or similar arrangement with creditors;

                                      16

          (iii)  appointment by or for Maker of a receiver, trustee or similar
judicial officer or agent to take charge of or liquidate substantially all of
Maker's property or assets; or

          (iv) commencement against Maker of any involuntary proceeding of the
kind described in this paragraph, unless Maker is diligently contesting the same
by appropriate action, or if, despite such contest, such proceeding is not
dismissed within a period of 60 days;

this Note shall become immediately due and payable, together with all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon and together with all other amounts payable under
this Note, without presentment, demand, payment or notice of any kind.

          This Note shall be governed by, enforced, determined and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts,
transactions and obligations entered into and wholly to be performed in the
State of New York, without reference to conflict of laws principles.  This Note

Company, by the grant of an option to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), in accordance with
                                      ------------                      
Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") adopted by the Board of Directors
                                       ----

          NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

          I.  Grant of Option.  The Company hereby grants to the Executive the
              ---------------

      --------------

              --------------------------                                    
Plan, on April 4, 1996, the Option shall be exercisable as to 1,667 of the
shares covered by the Option; on April 4, 1997, the Option shall be exercisable
as to an additional 1,667 of the shares covered by the Option; and on April 4,

defined) of the Company, the Option shall be immediately exercisable by the
Executive.

          As used herein, a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred
                             -----------------

whether by tender or exchange offer or otherwise, (ii) a proxy contest for the
election of directors of the Company, or (iii) a merger, consolidation or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the
Company, the persons constituting the Board immediately prior to the initiation
of such event cease to constitute a majority of the Board upon the occurrence of
such event or within eighteen months after such event and such change in the
persons constituting the Board shall not have been approved by the persons
constituting the Board immediately prior to the initiation of such event, or (y)

shall be exercised by written notice directed to the Company, at the Company's
address set forth above, specifying the number of shares being purchased and
accompanied by either (i) cash or certified or personal check payable to the
order of the Company in full payment of the Purchase Price for the number of

Company or of any corporation which (as of the date hereof) is a parent of the
Company or Subsidiary (as defined in the Plan) of the Company or of a
predecessor corporation of any such corporation.  (For purposes of this
paragraph, any such previously granted option not having been exercised in full
shall be deemed to remain outstanding until the expiration of the period during
which under its initial term it could have been exercised.)

          Except as provided in Paragraph  below, (i) the Executive must be an
employee of the Company at the time of exercise and (ii) only the Executive may
exercise the option herein granted.

          The Executive, at time of exercise, shall represent in writing that
all Shares being purchased are for investment only and not with a view to or for
sale in connection with a distribution thereof and shall agree that he will not
resell, offer or distribute any of such Shares so acquired except in a manner
which would not be in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

          B.        If the Executive's employment with the Company is
terminated:

          (i) for any reason other than death or permanent and total disability
(as permanent and total disability is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code),
the Option, to the extent theretofore unexercised, shall terminate immediately;

          (ii) by reason of permanent and total disability (as defined in

the extent that the Executive was entitled to do so at the time of such
termination, at any time within six months after such termination but not
thereafter, and in no event after the date on which, except for such
termination, the Option would otherwise expire; or

          (iii) by reason of the Executive's death, the Option may be exercised
to the extent that the Executive was entitled to do so at the time of the
Executive's death, by the legatee(s) of the Option under the Executive's last
will, or by the Executive's personal representative(s) or distributee(s), at any
time within one year after the death of the Executive, but in no event after the
date on which, except for such death, the Option would otherwise expire.

the like, the Board may make appropriate adjustment in the number of shares of
the Common Stock subject to the Option.  The determination of the Board shall be
binding on all persons concerned.

          D.        Subject to the Plan, in the event of:  (1) a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company; (2) a merger or consolidation in which the Company
is not the surviving corporation; or (3) other capital reorganization in which
more than 50% of the shares of the Company's Common Stock entitled to vote are
exchanged, the Option shall terminate except:  (a) when another corporation
shall assume the Option or substitute a new option therefor, and (b) the Board
shall have the discretion and power in any such event to determine, and to make
effective provisions therefor, that the Executive may exercise his Option for
such number of Shares, not exceeding the total number specified by the Option,

exercised, in whole or in part, any certificates evidencing the Shares shall

            Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations
            promulgated thereunder and may not be sold, offered for sale or
            otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration
            statement under such Act or an exemption therefrom."

          E.        Nothing contained in subparagraph . above shall be deemed to
require the Company to register the Shares under the Act.

or provided by the Company.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to

discretion of the Board or to confer on the Executive any right to continue in
the employ of the Company or any subsidiary thereof or to be evidence of any
agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Company will employ the

of the Company or a subsidiary thereof (or the right of the Executive) to
terminate the employment of the Executive at any time, with or without cause,
