3.       INCOME TAXES

         The income tax benefit for the three months ended December 29, 1996 and
         December  31, 1995 were  calculated  through  the use of the  estimated
         income tax rates based on annualized income.

4.       STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         On  December  16,  1996 the  Company  redeemed  15  shares  of Series B
         Preferred Stock for $2,250,000.

         On  February  4, 1997 the  Company  redeemed  the  remaining  20 shares
         of  Series B  Preferred  Stock for $3,000,000.

         On December  18, 1996,  the Board  designated a new series of preferred
         stock of the Company  termed  Series C Junior  Participating  Preferred
         Stock, $.01 par value ("Series C Preferred") and reserved 450 shares of
         the  Series C  Preferred  for  issuance.  At the same  time,  the Board
         declared  a  dividend  of a right to  acquire  1/100,000  of a share of
         Series C  Preferred  to the holder of each  share of common  stock (the
         "Rights")  under a Shareholder  Rights Plan. The Rights will trade with
         the  common  stock  and  be  detachable   from  the  common  stock  and
         exercisable  only in the  event  of an  acquisition  of or grant of the
         right to acquire 15% or more of the common stock by one party or common
         group or a tender offer or exchange offer to acquire 15% or more of the
         common stock.

         During the three months ended December 29, 1996, the Board of Directors
         declared a dividend  of $105,000  for the period  July 1, 1996  through
         September  30,  1996 on the Series B  Preferred  Stock  equal to 8% per
         annum of the  redemption  price for the  shares  of Series B  Preferred
         Stock  ($150,000  per  share).  Pursuant to the  Company's  Amended and
         Restated  Certificate of Incorporation,  the dividends were paid by the
         delivery of 32,796 shares of the Company's common stock. Such dividends
         declared were charged to additional paid-in capital.

         On  January  1, 1997 the Board of  Directors  declared  a  dividend  of
         $98,000 for the period October 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996 on the
         Series B Preferred Stock equal to 8% per annum of the redemption  price
         for the  outstanding  shares of Series B Preferred  Stock ($150,000 per
         share).  Pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated  Certificate of
         Incorporation, the dividends were paid by the delivery of 33,136 shares
         of the Company's common stock in January 1997. Such dividends  declared
         were charged to additional paid-in capital.

         On  February  4, 1997 the Board of  Directors  declared a  dividend  of
         $17,000  on the 20 shares  of  Series B  Preferred  Stock  redeemed  on
         February 4, 1997 equal to 8% per annum of the redemption  price for the
         shares of Series B Preferred  Stock  ($150,000 per share).  Pursuant to
         the Company's Amended and Restated  Certificate of  Incorporation,  the
         dividends  were paid by the delivery of 5,637  shares of the  Company's
         common  stock.  Such  dividends  declared  were  charged to  additional
         paid-in capital.

5.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         Bankruptcy Proceedings

         Notwithstanding  the  confirmation  and  effectiveness  of the  Plan of
         Reorganization   (the  "Plan")  of  the   Company's  predecessors  (the
         "Predecessor  Companies"),  the United States  Bankruptcy Court for the
         Northern  District of Indiana,  South Bend  Division  (the  "Bankruptcy
         Court") continues to have jurisdiction to, among other things,  resolve
         disputed prepetition claims and to resolve other matters that may arise
         in connection  with or relate to the Predecessor  Companies'  Plan. The
         Company has resolved,  through  negotiation or through dismissal by the
         Bankruptcy Court, approximately $38,000,000 in disputed claims. A total
         of  9,768,683  such shares have been issued to the holders of unsecured
         claims against the  Predecessor  Companies in settlement of the allowed
         unsecured  claims against the estates of the Predecessor  Companies and
         to the Company's  ESOP.  The Company  retained  50,843 shares of common
         stock which are included in treasury  stock.  The remaining  shares are
         being held pending resolution of certain retiree medical claims.

         Litigation

         Uniroyal  Retiree  Benefits,  Inc.  ("URBI"),  an organization  that is
         unaffiliated with the Company, administers a medical, prescription drug
         and  life  insurance  program  for  certain  retired  employees  of the
         Predecessor   Companies  and  certain  affiliates  of  the  Predecessor
         Companies.  This  program is funded by the Company in  accordance  with
         terms of an agreement  entered into by and between the  predecessors of
         URBI and the  Company in  connection  with the  Predecessor  Companies'
         Plan. The Company has disputes with URBI  concerning the eligibility of
         certain  participants  in URBI's medical plan and the level of payments
         due. URBI had filed a complaint with the Bankruptcy  Court claiming the
         Company  had  breached  its  agreement   relating  to  funding   URBl's
         operations.  The Company  filed  counterclaims  against  URBI  claiming
         breach  of  contract,   fraud,  negligent   misrepresentation,   unjust
         enrichment,  declaratory  judgment and  clarification or reformation of
         contract.  The Bankruptcy  Court ruled in favor of URBI with respect to
         certain  matters  and in favor of the  Company  with  respect  to other
         matters.  The effect to the  Company  was a net  judgment  against  the
         Company of approximately  $211,000.  URBI filed an additional complaint
         with the Bankruptcy Court  concerning  payments due in Fiscal 1996. The
         Bankruptcy  Court then  ordered  the  Company to  increase  its monthly
         payments to URBI to approximately  $160,000 through September 1996. The
         Company has agreed to continue  payments at that level through February
         1997.  The Company filed an appeal of the Bankruptcy  Court's  December
         20, 1995 ruling with the United States  District Court for the Northern
         District of Indiana, South Bend Division. Such appeal is still pending.
         The Company has agreed in principle  with URBI to settle the  foregoing
         litigation  on a level of  funding to reflect  URBI's  current  program
         needs.

         The Company is also  engaged in  litigation  arising  from the ordinary
         course of business.  Management  believes the ultimate  outcome of such
         litigation  will not have a material  adverse effect upon the Company's
         results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

         Environmental Factors

         The Company is subject to a wide range of federal, state and local laws
         and  regulations  designed to protect the environment and worker health
         and safety. The Company's management  emphasizes  compliance with these
         laws and  regulations.  The Company has instituted  programs to provide
         guidance and training and to audit compliance with  environmental  laws
         and regulations at Company owned or operated facilities.  The Company's
         policy  is to  accrue  environmental  and  cleanup-related  costs  of a
         non-capital  nature when it is probable  both that a liability has been
         incurred and that the amount can be reasonably estimated.
<PAGE>
         Claims arising from real property owned by the Company are not affected
         by  a  settlement   agreement  entered  into  in  connection  with  the
         Predecessor  Companies'  Plan  with  the  United  States  Environmental
         Protection  Agency,  the United States Department of the Interior,  and
         the States of Wisconsin and Indiana. In connection with the acquisition
         of a manufacturing facility in South Bend, Indiana, the Company assumed
         costs of remediation of soil and ground water  contamination  which the
         Company   estimates  will  cost  not  more  than   $1,000,000   over  a
         five-to-seven  year  period.  The Company has placed  $1,000,000  in an
         escrow account to be used for such  remediation in accordance  with the
         terms of the purchase agreement.

         The Company has  established  a reserve for clean-up  costs,  including
         environmental  remediation costs,  related to the Ensolite Sale and the
         Company's planned exit from its Mishawaka, Indiana leased manufacturing
         facility. The Company estimates the cost for all such clean-up costs to
         be approximately  $610,000;  however,  the ultimate cost will depend on
         the  extent  of  contamination  found as the  project  progresses.  The
         Company expects the clean-up to be  substantially  completed within one
         year.

         Based on  information  available as of December  29, 1996,  the Company
         believes that the costs of known environmental matters either have been
         adequately  provided  for or are  unlikely  to have a material  adverse
         effect on the Company's operations, cash flows or financial position.

6.       LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

         The computations of primary and fully diluted loss per common share for
         the three  months  ended  December  29, 1996 and  December 31, 1995 are
         based on the  weighted  average  number of  common  shares  issued  and
         outstanding  (or to be issued  pursuant to the  Predecessor  Companies'
         Plan)  less the  average  number of  shares  held in  treasury  for the
         period.  Primary and fully  diluted loss per common share for the three
         months ended December 29, 1996 and December 31, 1995 do not include the
         assumed  conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock nor the exercise of
         the warrants and the employee stock options since their inclusion would
         have been anti-dilutive.  The convertible preferred stock issued to the
         PBGC,  the warrants and stock options are considered to be common stock
         equivalents.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS


First Quarter Fiscal 1997 Compared with
  the First Quarter Fiscal 1996

Net Sales. The Company's net sales decreased in the first quarter of Fiscal 1997
by  approximately  1% to  $46,027,000  from  $46,676,000 in the first quarter of
Fiscal 1996.  During Fiscal 1996 the Company sold its Ensolite  specialty  foams
division. Included in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 are net sales of Ensolite
of approximately $5,434,000. Excluding such sales from the prior period amounts,
net sales of the Company's continuing  businesses increased by approximately 12%
in the first  quarter of Fiscal  1997  compared  to the first  quarter of Fiscal
1996.  This  increase is  attributable  to increased  net sales of the Company's
adhesives and sealants  products in  anticipation  of the Company's  move of the
Specialty Adhesives Segment, as well as certain other Company operations, to its
South Bend,  Indiana  facility  during the second  quarter of Fiscal 1997 and to
generally lower sales of the Company's specialty adhesives and sealants products
during  the first  three  months of Fiscal  1996 due to the  timing of  customer
orders.  Also  contributing  to the increase were increased unit volume sales of
the Company's Coated Fabrics Segment's new automotive  product line in the first
quarter of Fiscal 1997. This new product line was introduced in Fiscal 1995.

Net sales by the High Performance Plastics Segment increased approximately 1% in
the first quarter of Fiscal 1997 to  $25,304,000  from  $24,998,000 in the first
quarter of Fiscal  1996.  The  increase was  principally  due to increased  unit
volume sales of Polycast mil-spec and specialty acrylic sheet. This increase was
partially  offset by  decreased  unit  volume  sales of  certain  of  Royalite's
specialty thermoplastic sheet products due to the timing of customer orders.

Net sales by the Coated Fabrics Segment increased in the first quarter of Fiscal
1997  approximately  8% to $14,838,000  from $13,776,000 in the first quarter of
Fiscal 1996. The increase was principally due to increased sales prices for, and
unit volume of, product sales to the automotive industry. Increased sales to the
automotive  industry  resulted from the Company's new product line introduced in
Fiscal 1995.  Net sales of the  segment's  Naugahyde  vinyl coated  fabrics were
comparable in the first quarter of Fiscal 1997 and Fiscal 1996.

Net sales by the Specialty  Adhesives  Segment decreased in the first quarter of
Fiscal 1997 by  approximately  26% to  $5,885,000  from  $7,902,000 in the first
quarter  of Fiscal  1996.  During  Fiscal  1996 the  Company  sold its  Ensolite
specialty foams  division.  Included in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 are net
sales of Ensolite of  approximately  $5,434,000.  Excluding  such sales from the
prior period amounts,  net sales of the Specialty Adhesives Segment increased by
approximately  138% in the first  quarter of Fiscal  1997  compared to the first
quarter of Fiscal 1996.  This increase is attributable to increased net sales of
the Company's  adhesives and sealants  products in anticipation of the Company's
move of the  Specialty  Adhesives  Segment,  as well as  certain  other  Company
operations,  to its South Bend,  Indiana  facility  during the second quarter of
Fiscal 1997 and to generally  lower sales of the Company's  specialty  adhesives
and  sealants  products  during the first three months of Fiscal 1996 due to the
timing of customer  orders.  The move to the South Bend,  Indiana  facility will
halt   production  of  the  Company's   adhesives  and  sealants   products  for
approximately four weeks during the second quarter of Fiscal 1997.
<PAGE>
Income (Loss)  Before  Interest And Income  Taxes.  Income  before  interest and
income taxes for the first  quarter of Fiscal 1997 was  $740,000,  compared to a
loss of $2,176,000  for the first quarter of Fiscal 1996. The increase in income
before  interest and taxes was primarily due to the overall  increased net sales
of the Company's  continuing  businesses.  Also contributing to the increase was
the impact of the Company's  decision effective in Fiscal 1996 to dispose of the
Coated Fabrics Segment's Port Clinton, Ohio manufacturing operation. As a result
of that decision,  in Fiscal 1996 the Company  established  reserves  associated
with  long-lived  assets to be  disposed  of in  accordance  with  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  121  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived  Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No. 121"). In
accordance  with SFAS No.  121,  during  the first  quarter  of Fiscal  1997 the
Company  did not  incur  depreciation  expense  on the  long-lived  assets to be
disposed of. In addition,  during the first quarter of Fiscal 1997,  the Company
reduced the reserves  established  in  connection  with the  Ensolite  Sale as a
result the Company's  performance under the toll manufacturing  arrangement with
Rubatex as well as the  reduction of reserves  established  to clean up and exit
the Mishawaka,  Indiana  manufacturing  facility and move to the Company's South
Bend,  Indiana  manufacturing  facility based on the refinement of  management's
estimates of such costs.

The High Performance  Plastics Segment's income before interest and income taxes
for the first quarter of Fiscal 1997  increased to  $1,345,000  from $833,000 in
the first quarter of Fiscal 1996. The increase was due primarily to the increase
in net sales of Polycast  acrylic products and the inclusion in the prior period
of a  $650,000  reserve  established  in  settlement  of a  strike  by  Polycast
employees.  Partially offsetting these increases was the effect of the lower net
sales of the Royalite Thermoplastic products division.

The Coated Fabrics  Segment's loss before interest and income taxes decreased in
the first  quarter of Fiscal 1997 to  $1,042,000  from  $1,927,000  in the first
quarter of Fiscal 1996 primarily due to the overall increase in net sales.  Also
contributing to the decrease was the impact of the Company's  decision effective
in Fiscal 1996 to dispose of the  segment's  Port  Clinton,  Ohio  manufacturing
operation.  As a result of that decision, in Fiscal 1996 the Company established
reserves  associated with long-lived assets to be disposed of in accordance SFAS
No. 121. In  accordance  with SFAS No. 121,  during the first  quarter of Fiscal
1997 the Company did not incur depreciation  expense on the long-lived assets to
be  disposed  of. In  addition  in the first  quarter of Fiscal 1996 the segment
incurred   increased  scrap  costs  and  manufacturing   inefficiencies  in  the
production of products for an automotive  customer.  Partially  offsetting these
amounts were increased  production costs incurred in the first quarter of Fiscal
1997 as a result of a raw materials supplier's decision to exit its business. As
a result,  the segment  incurred  additional costs to qualify its products using
comparable raw materials available from other supply sources.

The Specialty Adhesives Segment's income before interest and income taxes in the
first quarter of Fiscal 1997 was $785,000  compared to a loss of $890,000 in the
first  quarter  of Fiscal  1996.  The  increase  was  primarily  due to the 138%
increase in net sales of the segment's specialty adhesives and sealants products
in the first  quarter of Fiscal  1997  compared  to the first  quarter of Fiscal
1996.  Also  contributing to the increase was the reduction in the first quarter
of Fiscal 1997 of reserves  established  in  connection  with the Ensolite  sale
based on the Company's performance under the toll manufacturing arrangement with
Rubatex as well as the  reduction of reserves  established  to clean up and exit
the Mishawaka,  Indiana  manufacturing  facility and move to the Company's South
Bend,  Indiana  manufacturing  facility based on the refinement of  management's
estimates  of such  costs.
<PAGE>

Approximately $160,000 of other expenses incurred in the first quarter of Fiscal
1997 were not allocated to any segment of the Company's business. There were not
such unallocated amounts in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996.

Amortization  of  reorganization   value  in  excess  of  amounts  allocable  to
identifiable  assets was $188,000  and  $192,000 in the first  quarter of Fiscal
1997 and Fiscal 1996, respectively,

Interest Expense. Interest expense in the first quarter of Fiscal 1997 decreased
to $2,200,000  from $2,549,000 in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996. The decrease
is  primarily  due to the  interest  income  earned by the  Company  on the $5.0
million  11.75% note issued by RBX,  Inc. as part of the  Ensolite  Sale in June
1996.

Income Tax Benefit.  Income tax benefit in the first  quarter of Fiscal 1997 was
$481,000 as compared to an income tax benefit of $1,721,000 in the first quarter
of Fiscal 1996. The provisions  for income tax benefit were  calculated  through
the use of the estimated income tax rates based on annualized income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the first quarter of Fiscal 1997,  operating  activities  used $7,353,000 in
cash as compared to $4,144,000 used during the first quarter of Fiscal 1996. The
increase  in cash used in  operations  for the  first  quarter  of  Fiscal  1997
resulted primarily from increased  inventories and trade accounts receivable and
was partially offset by the decreased net loss.

Net cash used in investing  activities  for the first quarter of Fiscal 1997 was
$2,691,000  as compared to  $1,786,000  during the first quarter of Fiscal 1996.
The net cash was used during each of the periods presented to purchase property,
plant  and  equipment.  The  Company  does  not have  any  significant  specific
commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash  provided  by  financing  activities  was  $8,460,000  during the first
quarter of Fiscal  1997 as  compared  to  $5,727,000  provided  during the first
quarter of Fiscal 1996. The principal source of cash during the first quarter of
Fiscal 1997 and Fiscal 1996 was borrowings under the Company's revolving line of
credit. This increase was partially offset by the redemption of 15 shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock for $2,250,000 and the contractual repayment of capital
lease obligations.  

The Company on December 29, 1996,  had  approximately  $439,000 in cash and cash
equivalents  as compared to  approximately  $2,023,000  at  September  29, 1996.
Working capital at December 29, 1996 was $35,510,000  compared to $29,148,000 at
September 29, 1996. The Company had outstanding  borrowings of $10,886,000 under
its  $25,000,000   revolving  credit  facility  (subject  to  a  borrowing  base
limitation,  approximately  $20,000,000 at December 29, 1996). The principal use
of cash  during  the first  quarter  of Fiscal  1997 was to pay the  semi-annual
interest  payment on the Company's  Senior Secured Notes.  The Company  believes
that cash from its  operations  and its  ability to borrow  under the  revolving
credit facility  mentioned above provide it sufficient  liquidity to finance its
existing  level of operations  and meet its debt service  obligations.  However,
there can be no assurance  that the Company's  operations  together with amounts
available under the revolving  credit facility will continue to be sufficient to
finance its existing level of operations and meet its debt service  obligations.
The Company's ability to meet its debt service and other obligations  depends on
its future performance, which in turn, is subject to general economic conditions
and to  financial,  business and other  factors,  including  factors  beyond the
Company's  control.  If the Company is unable to generate  sufficient  cash flow
from  operations,  it may be  required  to  refinance  all or a  portion  of its
existing debt or obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain such refinancing or additional financing.

Effects of Inflation

The markets in which the Company sells products are competitive.  In particular,
the Company has  encountered  in connection  with its sales of coated fabrics to
the  automotive  industry and its sales of acrylics to the  aerospace  industry,
effective  resistance to price  increases  generally.  Thus, in an  inflationary
environment  the Company  may not in all  instances  be able to pass  through to
consumers general price increases in which event the Company's operations may be
materially impacted if such conditions were to occur. The Company has not in the
past been adversely impacted by general price inflation.
