4.       INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND PROMISSORY NOTE

         On August 15, 1996, MC Group's wholly owned subsidiary, Consolidated
Cigar Holdings Inc. ("Cigar Holdings") completed an initial public offering
(the "Cigar Offering") 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.

         Simultaneously with the Cigar Offering, 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 MAFCO WORLDWIDE 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 has agreed to
purchase from MC Group, and MC Group has 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") to be issued pursuant to the Value Support Rights
Agreement (the "VSR Agreement") to be 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. The
transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1996 and is expected
to result in a gain to the Company.

         In consideration for the Shares and VSRs, Purchaser has agreed to pay
MC Group cash in the amount of $180,000. In addition, Purchaser shall pay MC
Group deferred cash payments 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

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

                    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.

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

         Net sales in 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 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 related to damaged inventory.

         SG&A expenses were $40.0 and $37.2 in 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 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The decrease was primarily due to a lower 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 Merger and the Cigar Offering.

         Equity in earnings from continuing operations of PCT represents the
Company's interest in the continuing operations of 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 33.8% in the 1996 and 31.4% in
1995. The increase in the effective rate is primarily due to an increase in the
provision for state and federal 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.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                    (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)



         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, including the gain on sale of PCT's
aerospace business in 1996.


FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's net cash flows provided by operating activities were
$36.4 and $18.3 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase reflects higher
net income, excluding the after tax effect of the gain on the Cigar Offering,
partially offset by increased working capital requirements in 1996 as compared
to 1995.

         Cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities were $(231.5)
and $142.6 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. In 1996, these activities consist
primarily of purchases of marketable securities and 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 1996 and 1995, respectively. The 1996 period primarily reflects the
proceeds from the Cigar Offering partially offset by net repayments of
borrowings. Cash flows used for financing activities in 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 15, 1996, Cigar Holdings completed the Cigar Offering, 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 Offering, 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 has agreed to
purchase from MC Group, and MC Group has 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") to be issued pursuant to the Value Support Rights
Agreement (the "VSR Agreement") to be 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. The
transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1996 and is expected
to result in a gain to the Company.

         In consideration for the Shares and VSRs, Purchaser has agreed to pay
MC Group cash in the amount of $180. In addition, Purchaser shall pay MC Group
deferred cash payments of $3.7 on June 30, 1997 and $3.5 on December 31, 1997.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                    (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)


         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 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.
