4.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND PROMISSORY NOTE

     On August 21, 1996, MC Group's wholly owned subsidiary, Consolidated Cigar
Holdings Inc. ("Cigar Holdings") completed an initial public offering (the
"Cigar IPO") in which it issued and sold 6,075,000 shares of its Class A Common
Stock for $23.00 per share. The proceeds, net of underwriter's discount and
related fees and expenses, of $127,809, were paid as a dividend to MC Group and
resulted in a gain to the Company of $83,076, net of income taxes of $44,733.
All of the proceeds received from the sale of stock in the Cigar IPO were
treated as gain as the net book value of Cigar Holdings was a deficit at the
time of the Cigar IPO and no allocation of the deficit was made to minority
interest. Minority interest in the earnings of Cigar Holdings subsequent to the
Cigar IPO was not recorded as the book value of Cigar Holdings remained negative
after including Cigar Holdings' net earnings subsequent to the Cigar IPO. The
net proceeds from the Cigar IPO as well as other funds of the Company were
invested in marketable securities, which include U.S. Treasury and agency
securities, mortgage-back securities, corporate debt securities and other debt
securities. These securities are classified as trading securities.

     Simultaneously with the Cigar IPO, each of Cigar Holdings' then outstanding
shares of common stock were converted into 24,600 shares of the newly created
Class B Common Stock which totaled 24,600,000 shares. In addition, Cigar
Holdings issued a non-interest bearing promissory note (the "Cigar Note") in an
original principal amount of $70,000 to MC Group. The Cigar Note is payable in
quarterly installments of $2,500, beginning March 31, 1997 with the final
installment payable on December 31, 2003.

5.   SALE OF FLAVORS HOLDINGS TO PCT

     On October 23, 1996, MC Group entered into a Stock and VSR Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of October 23, 1996, with PCT and
PCT International Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of PCT ("Purchaser"), pursuant to which Purchaser agreed to 
purchase from MC Group (the "Acquisition"), and MC Group agreed to sell and 
issue to Purchaser, all the issued and outstanding shares (the "Shares") of 
capital stock of Flavors Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly 
owned subsidiary of MC Group ("Flavors"), and 23,156,502 Value Support Rights 
(each a "VSR" and collectively, the "VSRs") issued pursuant to the Value 
Support Rights Agreement (the "VSR Agreement") entered into between MC Group 
and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee. Flavors, through its 
wholly owned subsidiary Mafco Worldwide Corporation, operates MC Group's 
licorice extract and other flavoring agents manufacturing and distributing 
business. The agreement was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of 
MC Group and PCT and, in the case of PCT, upon the recommendation of a 
Special Committee of directors who are not officers

or employees of PCT or its affiliates including MC Group, formed to consider the
transaction.

                                  (Unaudited)

     On November 25, 1996, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, MC Group sold
to PCT International (i) all of the outstanding shares of Flavors Common Stock
and (ii) 23,156,502 VSRs for aggregate consideration of $297,300, consisting of
$180,000 in cash, the assumption of approximately $110,100 of indebtedness of
Mafco Worldwide and deferred cash payments from PCT of $7,200. The VSRs were
subsequently distributed to PCT. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, PCT will be
required to make deferred cash payments to MC Group of $3,700 on June 30, 1997
and $3,500 on December 31, 1997.

     It is anticipated that the VSRs will be distributed to all holders of PCT
Common Stock and PCT Preferred Stock promptly following the effectiveness of a
registration statement to be filed by MC Group with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Each VSR, subject to certain limitations, entitles its holder to
receive a payment, if any, of up to $3.25 per VSR if the 30-Day Average Market
Price (as defined in the VSR Agreement) of PCT Common Stock is below $11.00 per
share on January 1, 1999; provided, however, MC Group has an optional right to
call the VSRs each April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 from and including
April 1, 1997 to and including October 1, 1998 (each, an "Optional Call Date").
If MC Group calls the VSRs on or before January 1, 1998, holders will be
entitled to receive a payment of at least $0.50 and up to $3.25 per VSR if the
30-Day Average Market Price is below $10.25 per share as of such Optional Call
Date. If MC Group calls the VSRs after January 1, 1998, each VSR will entitle
its holder to a payment, if any, of up to $3.25 per VSR if the 30-Day Average
Market Price is below $11.00 per share on such Optional Call Date.

     The Company's VSR obligation incurred in connection with the Purchase
Agreement will be accounted for at market value at the date of issuance and
subsequently marked to the closing market price of the security at each
financial statement date. As a result, income in future periods may be affected
by any positive or negative mark to market adjustments.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  (Dollars in millions, except share data)

Results of Operations

Three month period ended September 29, 1996 compared with the three month period

ended October 1, 1995

     Net sales in 1996 and 1995 were $85.6 and $68.7, respectively, an increase
of $16.9 or 24.7%. The increase in net sales was primarily due to higher sales
of cigars. Cigar sales increased primarily as a result of both a shift in sales
mix to higher priced cigars and price increases on certain cigar brands and, to
a lesser extent, an increase in cigar unit volume, particularly in the premium
market.

     Cost of sales were $49.2 and $40.7 in 1996 and 1995, respectively, an
increase of $8.5 or 20.9%. The increase in cost of sales in 1996 was due
primarily to the increase in sales and to increases in the costs of raw
materials for cigars. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales improved to 57.5%
in 1996 from 59.3% in 1995 primarily due to fixed manufacturing costs spread
over increased production.

     Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $12.5 and $17.2
in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to a
non-recurring expense in the third quarter of 1995 and a bad debt recovery in
the third quarter of 1996. This decrease in SG&A expenses was partially offset
by increased compensation, marketing and selling administrative expenses for
Consolidated Cigar. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 14.6% in
1996 and 25.1% in 1995.

     Interest expense was $6.4 and $6.7 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
decrease was due to a lower amount of debt outstanding during 1996 as compared
to 1995.

     Interest, investment and dividend income was $3.6 and $2.1 in 1996 and
1995, respectively. The increase primarily reflects interest income on cash
acquired in connection with the Merger and the Cigar Offering.

     Equity in earnings from continuing operations and preferred dividends of
PCT represent the Company's interest in the continuing operations of the common
stock of PCT acquired in July 1995 and preferred dividends on the Company's
investment in PCT preferred stock.

     The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing
operations before income taxes was 34.4% in the 1996 and 32.2% in 1995. The
increase in the effective rate is primarily due to an increase in the provision
for federal and state income taxes during 1996 partially offset by tax benefits
associated with the Company's operations in Puerto Rico. Income tax expense in
1996 reflects provisions for federal income taxes, Puerto Rico tollgate taxes
and taxes on Puerto Rico source income, together with state and franchise taxes.
Income tax expense in 1995 reflects provisions for federal income taxes, net of
tax benefits resulting from the utilization of Consolidated Cigar's net
operating loss carryforwards, Puerto Rico tollgate taxes and taxes on Puerto
Rico source income, along with state and franchise taxes.

     Equity in discontinued operations of PCT, net of income taxes which reflect
a dividend exclusion deduction, represents the Company's interest in the
discontinued operations of PCT.

                  (Dollars in millions, except share data)

Nine month period ended September 29, 1996 compared with the nine month period
ended October 1, 1995

     Net sales in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995 were $230.4 and $195.3,
respectively, an increase of $35.1 or 18.0%. The increase in net sales was
primarily due to higher sales of cigars. Cigar sales increased primarily as a
result of both a shift in sales mix to higher priced cigars and price increases
on certain cigar brands and, to a lesser extent, an increase in cigar unit
volume, particularly in the premium market.

     Cost of sales were $131.9 and $115.3 in the first nine months of 1996 and
1995, respectively, an increase of $16.6 or 14.4%. The increase in cost of sales
in 1996 was due primarily to the increase in sales and increases in the costs of
raw materials for cigars. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales improved to
57.2% in 1996 from 59.0% in 1995 primarily due to fixed manufacturing costs
spread over increased production and an insurance recovery in 1996 related to
damaged inventory of $0.5 above cost.

     SG&A expenses were $40.0 and $37.2 in the first nine months of 1996 and
1995, respectively. This increase was primarily due to increased compensation,
marketing and selling expenses, partially offset by a bad debt recovery. As a
percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 17.4% in the 1996 period and 19.0%
in the 1995 period. The decrease was primarily due to SG&A expenses increasing
at a lower rate relative to the increase in net sales.

     Interest expense was $19.3 and $20.4 in the first nine months of 1996 and
1995, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a lower average amount of
debt outstanding during 1996 as compared to 1995.

     Interest, investment and dividend income was $7.1 and $2.8 in 1996 and
1995, respectively. The increase primarily reflects interest income on invested
cash acquired in connection with the C&F Merger and the Cigar IPO.

     Equity in earnings from continuing operations of PCT represents the
Company's interest in the continuing operations of PCT Common Stock acquired in
July 1995 and preferred dividends on the Company's investment in PCT Preferred
Stock.

     The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing
operations before income taxes was 33.8% and 31.4% in the first nine months of
1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in the effective rate is due to an
increase in income from U.S. operations which primarily relates to the gain on
the Cigar IPO subject to state and federal income taxes during 1996 partially
offset by a tax benefit associated with the Company's operations in Puerto Rico.
In addition, the 1995 tax provision also reflects a tax benefit associated with

the utilization of Consolidated Cigar's net operating loss carryforwards.

     Equity in discontinued operations of PCT, net of income taxes which reflect
a dividend received deduction, represents the Company's interest in the
discontinued operations of PCT, including the gain on sale of PCT's aerospace
business in April 1996.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's net cash flows (used for) provided by operating activities
were ($188.7) and $18.3 in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The decrease of $207.0 reflects a net increase in trading securities partially
offset by higher net income, excluding the after tax effect of the gain on the
Cigar IPO.

     Cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities were $(6.3) and
$142.6 in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. In 1996, these
activities consist primarily of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures of
$5.8 in 1996 primarily relate to investments in the Company's manufacturing
facilities to meet increased demand for the Company's premium cigars. The
Company is expanding its existing manufacturing facilities in the Dominican
Republic and Honduras and is constructing, as part of a joint venture, new
facilities in Jamaica. The Company currently expects that its facility expansion
projects in the Dominican Republic and Honduras and the construction projects in
Jamaica will be completed by the end of 1996. Capital expenditures for the
remainder of 1996 are expected to be $1.5, including funding for the
construction project. The capital expenditures in 1995 primarily relate to
investments in manufacturing equipment and are part of the continual maintenance
and upgrading of the Company's manufacturing facilities. The 1995 period
consists primarily of cash acquired in the Abex merger partially offset by cash
used to finance the purchase of PCT common stock.

     Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities were $121.0 and
$(71.0) in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cash flows
provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 1996 reflect the
proceeds from the Cigar IPO partially offset by net repayments of borrowings.
Cash flows used for financing activities in the first nine months of 1995
reflects the purchase of Company common stock and VSRs, dividends paid to Mafco
Holdings, net repayments of borrowings and an increase in restricted deposits.

     Availability for borrowings under Mafco Worldwide's revolving credit
facility was $22.6 at September 29, 1996 and $2.4 of this revolving credit
facility had been reserved to support lender guarantees for outstanding letters
of credit. As of September 28, 1996, there was approximately $16.4 unused and
available under Consolidated Cigar's credit agreement after taking into account

amounts utilized to support letters of credit. Given the availability of
borrowings under these credit agreements and cash flow generated from
operations, the Company does not currently foresee the need to incur additional
indebtedness to meet its ongoing operating needs during 1996.

     In 1993 and 1994, Consolidated Cigar entered into two five-year interest
rate swap agreements in an aggregate notional amount of $85.0. Under the terms
of the agreements, Consolidated Cigar receives a fixed interest rate averaging
5.8% and pays a variable interest rate equal to the six month LIBOR.
Consolidated Cigar entered into such agreements to take advantage of the
differential between long-term and short-term interest rates and effectively
converted the interest rate on $85.0 of fixed-rate indebtedness to a variable
rate. Had Consolidated Cigar terminated these agreements which it considers to
be held for other than trading purposes on October 16, 1996, a combined loss of
approximately $1.0 would have been realized. Future positive or negative cash
flows associated with these contracts will depend upon the trend of short-term
interest rates during the remaining life of the agreements. In the event of
non-performance of

the counterparties at anytime during the remaining lives of these agreements
which expire at December 1998 and January 1999, Consolidated Cigar could lose
some or all of any future positive cash flows. However, Consolidated Cigar does
not anticipate non-performance by such counterparties.

     On August 21, 1996, Cigar Holdings completed the Cigar IPO, in which it
issued and sold 6,075,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock for $23.00 per
share. The proceeds, net of underwriter's discount and related fees and
expenses, of $127.8, were paid as a dividend to MC Group.

     Simultaneously with the Cigar IPO, each of Cigar Holdings' then outstanding
shares of common stock were converted into 24,600 shares of the newly created
Class B Common Stock which totaled 24,600,000 shares. In addition, Cigar
Holdings issued the Cigar Note in an original principal amount of $70.0 to MC
Group. The Cigar Note is payable in quarterly installments of $2.5, beginning
March 31, 1997 with the final installment payable on December 31, 2003.

     On October 7, 1996, Mafco Worldwide entered into a joint venture agreement
with a Chinese partner to produce tobacco flavoring in China. As part of this
agreement, Mafco Worldwide will purchase one half of certain assets of Weihai
Green Industry of Science and Technology for approximately $1.2.

     On October 23, 1996, MC Group entered into a Stock and VSR Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of October 23, 1996, with PCT and
PCT International Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of PCT ("Purchaser"), pursuant to which Purchaser agreed to 

purchase from MC Group (the "Acquisition"), and MC Group agreed to sell and 


issue to Purchaser, all the issued and outstanding shares (the "Shares")
of  capital stock of Flavors Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and
wholly  owned subsidiary of MC Group ("Flavors"), and 23,156,502 Value
Support Rights  (each a "VSR" and collectively, the "VSRs") issued
pursuant to the Value  Support Rights Agreement (the "VSR Agreement")
entered into between MC Group  and American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, as trustee. Flavors, through its  wholly owned subsidiary Mafco
Worldwide Corporation, operates MC Group's  licorice extract and other
flavoring agents manufacturing and distributing  business. The agreement
was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of  MC Group and PCT
and, in the case of PCT, upon the recommendation of a  Special Committee
of directors who are not officers or employees of PCT or its affiliates
including MC Group, formed to consider the transaction.

     On November 25, 1996, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, MC Group sold
to PCT International (i) all of the outstanding shares of Flavors Common Stock
and (ii) 23,156,502 VSRs for aggregate consideration of $297,300, consisting of
$180,000 in cash, the assumption of approximately $110,100 of indebtedness of
Mafco Worldwide and deferred cash payments from PCT of $7,200. The VSRs were
subsequently distributed to PCT. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, PCT will be
required to make deferred cash payments to MC Group of $3,700 on June 30, 1997
and $3,500 on December 31, 1997.
        
        
     It is anticipated that the VSRs will be distributed to all holders of PCT
Common Stock and PCT Preferred Stock promptly following the effectiveness of a
registration statement to be filed by MC Group with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Each VSR, subject to certain limitations, entitles its holder to
receive a payment, if any, of up to $3.25 per VSR if the 30-Day Average Market
Price (as defined in the VSR Agreement) of PCT Common Stock is below $11.00 per
share on January 1, 1999; provided, however, MC Group has an optional right to
call the VSRs each April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 from and including
April 1, 1997 to and including October 1, 1998 (each, an "Optional Call Date").

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  (Dollars in millions, except share data)


If MC Group calls the VSRs on or before January 1, 1998, holders will be
entitled to receive a payment of at least $0.50 and up to $3.25 per VSR if the
30-Day Average Market Price is below $10.25 per share as of such Optional Call
Date. If MC Group calls the VSRs after January 1, 1998, each VSR will entitle
its holder to a payment, if any, of up to $3.25 per VSR if the 30-Day Average
Market Price is below $11.00 per share on such Optional Call Date.


     The Company's VSR obligation incurred in connection with the Purchase
Agreement will be accounted for at market value at the date of issuance and
subsequently marked to the closing market price of the security at each
financial statement date. As a result, income in future periods may be affected
by any positive or negative mark to market adjustments.

     The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the purchase, from
time-to-time, of up to one million common shares of the Company.

     The credit agreements of Consolidated Cigar and Mafco Worldwide prohibit
the payment of dividends and distribution of funds to MC Group, subject to
certain limited exceptions. MC Group is a holding company with no business
operations of its own. MC Group's cash requirements for liabilities assumed in
the Merger are expected to be met from the cash received in the Merger and the
Cigar Offering, payment on the Cigar Notes and the proceeds from the sale of
Mafco Worldwide. MC Group may also acquire additional operating assets and may
raise capital through debt or equity financings or through refinancings of
existing indebtedness of its operating companies. However, there can be no
assurance that any of such financings or refinancings could be accomplished or,
if accomplished, effected on terms satisfactory to MC Group.
