         will purchase  machines from Emcore to sell and eventually  manufacture
         epitaxial  wafers,  lamps and display devices.  Thomas J. Russell,  the
         Chairman of the Board of Directors  of Emcore,  is a director and major
         stockholder  of the  Company,  and Howard R. Curd,  the Chairman of the
         Board of Directors  and Chief  Executive  Officer of the Company,  is a
         director of Emcore.

4.       INCOME TAXES

         The income tax  (expense)  benefit for the three months ended  December
         28, 1997 and December 29, 1996 were  calculated  through the use of the
         estimated income tax rates based on annualized income.

5.       STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         On November 13, 1997,  the Company  repurchased  500,000  shares of its
         common stock for $2,187,500 in connection  with the sale by the Pension
         Benefit  Guaranty  Corporation  ("PBGC") of all of its  holdings of the
         Company's common stock.

6.       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  pre-petition  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.
         Approximately  9,666,000  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 approximately
         86,000 shares of common stock which are included in treasury stock. The
         remaining  approximately  334,000  shares  of the  original  10,000,000
         shares  allocated for  disposition of the  bankruptcy  claims are being
         held pending resolution of certain claims.

         Litigation

         The Company is 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 leased  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.

         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.  As of December 28, 1997, the Company
         had incurred approximately $406,000 of related remediation costs.

         Based on  information  available as of December  28, 1997,  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.

7.       INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

         The Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings Per Share,
         which is required to be adopted for financial  statement periods ending
         after  December  15, 1997.  SFAS No. 128 requires  that the primary and
         fully  diluted  earnings per share be replaced by "basic" and "diluted"
         earnings  per  share,  respectively.  The  basic  calculation  computes
         earnings per share based only on the weighted  average number of shares
         outstanding  as compared to primary  earnings per share which  included
         common stock equivalents. The diluted earnings per share calculation is
         computed similarly to fully diluted earnings per share. The Company has
         adopted SFAS No. 128 for the three  months ended  December 28, 1997 and
         December  29,  1996.   The   reconciliation   of  the   numerators  and
         denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation is
         as follows:

         warrants and the preferred stock conversion  (then  outstanding) in the
         diluted earnings per share calculation would have been antidilutive.

9.       AGREEMENT  TO  SELL  CERTAIN  ASSETS  OF THE  AUTOMOTIVE
         DIVISION OF THE COATED FABRICS SEGMENT

         On October 17, 1997,  the Company  agreed to sell certain assets of the
         Port Clinton,  Ohio operation of the Coated Fabrics Segment to Canadian
         General-Tower,  Limited  ("CGT")  for  $5,325,000  plus  the  value  of
         purchased inventories and plus or minus adjustments contingent upon the
         transfer  of  certain  automotive  programs  to CGT as  defined  in the
         agreement.  The Company currently  anticipates  receiving $4,270,000 in
         June of 1998 upon obtaining  certain  customer  approvals and resulting
         transfer to CGT of purchased  assets that relate to the Company's  door
         panel programs.  The Company currently anticipates receiving $1,055,000
         in December  of 1998 upon  obtaining  certain  customer  approvals  and
         resulting  transfer  to CGT of  purchased  assets  that  relate  to the
         Company's   instrument  panel  programs,   although  there  can  be  no
         assurances that the required approvals will be obtained.

         Management  believes  that the  write-down of  long-lived  assets,  the
         curtailment  loss and other  reserves  recorded  during Fiscal 1996 and
         Fiscal 1997 relating to this  agreement for sale remain  appropriate at
         December 28, 1997.  Other than potential  contingent  payments that the
         Company may receive, Management believes that the Company will not have
         any further  significant  gain or loss upon the ultimate  completion of
         the sale.

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

First Quarter Fiscal 1998 Compared with
  the First Quarter Fiscal 1997

Net Sales. The Company's net sales increased in the first quarter of Fiscal 1998
by  approximately  11% to $51,182,000  from  $46,027,000 in the first quarter of
Fiscal 1997. The increase is  attributable  to increased unit volume and selling
prices at the Company's High Performance Plastics and Coated Fabrics Segments.

Net sales by the High Performance  Plastics Segment increased  approximately 15%
in the first quarter of Fiscal 1998 to $29,197,000 from $25,304,000 in the first
quarter of Fiscal 1997. The increase was  attributable to unit volume  increases
in  most  major  high  margin  product   categories  at  both  the   Royalite(R)
thermoplastics  division and the Polycast(R) cell cast acrylic  division.  Sales
also increased due to the incremental  sales resulting from the  acquisitions of
the Townsend Plastics Division of Townsend Industries, Inc. ("Townsend") and the
Lucite(R) Super Abrasion  Resistant  ("S-A-R")  acrylic coating  business of the
Lucite(R) Acrylic Division of ICI Acrylics, Inc. late in Fiscal 1997.

Net sales by the Coated Fabrics Segment increased in the first quarter of Fiscal
1998  approximately  15% to $17,135,000 from $14,838,000 in the first quarter of
Fiscal 1997. The increase was  principally  due to increased  selling prices and
unit volume of the  segment's  transplant  automotive  operations as well as the
segment's Naugahyde(R) vinyl coated fabrics.

Net sales by the Specialty  Adhesives  Segment decreased in the first quarter of
Fiscal 1998 by  approximately  18% to  $4,850,000  from  $5,885,000 in the first
quarter of Fiscal 1997.  This decrease is attributable to increased net sales of
the  Company's  adhesives  and sealants  products in the first quarter of Fiscal
1997 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.

Income Before Interest And Income Taxes. Income before interest and income taxes
for the first  quarter of Fiscal 1998 was  $4,936,000,  compared to $740,000 for
the first  quarter of Fiscal 1997.  The increase in income  before  interest and
taxes was  primarily  due to the overall  increase in net sales of higher margin
products,  earnings  from  companies  acquired  late in  Fiscal  1997 and  lower
operational costs.

The High Performance  Plastics Segment's income before interest and income taxes
for the first quarter of Fiscal 1998 increased to $3,762,000  from $2,249,000 in
the first quarter of Fiscal 1997. The increase was due to increased net sales of
higher margin products as well as earnings from the Townsend and Lucite(R) S-A-R
acrylic coating acquisitions.

The Coated  Fabrics  Segment's  income  before  interest and income taxes in the
first  quarter of Fiscal  1998 was  $2,076,000  versus a loss of $944,000 in the
first quarter of Fiscal 1997 primarily due to the overall increase in net sales,
lower  manufacturing  costs for the segment's  automotive  operations due to the
pending sale of the business to CGT and the reversal of certain rebate  accruals
applicable to such business.  Also,  increased production costs were 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 in the  first  quarter  of  Fiscal  1997 to  qualify  its  products  using
comparable raw materials available from other supply sources.

The Specialty  Adhesives  Segment's loss before interest and income taxes in the
first quarter of Fiscal 1998 was $169,000 compared to income before interest and
income taxes of $886,000 in the first  quarter of Fiscal  1997.  The decrease in
earnings was  primarily due to the decrease in sales volume in the first quarter
of Fiscal 1998 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 1997.  Also  contributing
to the income  before  interest and income taxes in the first  quarter of Fiscal
1997 was the reduction of reserves  established in connection  with the Ensolite
sale  (which  occurred  in June of 1996) as well as the  reduction  in  reserves
established to clean up 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.

Approximately $545,000 of other expenses incurred in the first quarter of Fiscal
1998  compared  to  $1,263,000  in the first  quarter  of  Fiscal  1997 were not
allocated to any segment of the Company's  business.  In Fiscal 1998 the Company
changed its allocation method for corporate costs. Fiscal 1997 amounts have been
reclassified for comparability with Fiscal 1998.

Amortization  of  reorganization   value  in  excess  of  amounts  allocable  to
identifiable  assets was  $188,000 in the first  quarter of both Fiscal 1998 and
Fiscal 1997.

Interest Expense. Interest expense in the first quarter of Fiscal 1998 increased
to $2,545,000  from $2,200,000 in the first quarter of Fiscal 1997. The increase
is primarily due to increased  borrowings under the Company's  revolving line of
credit  agreement  as well as  interest  incurred  on the  debt  related  to the
Company's business acquisitions in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1997.

Income Tax  (Expense)  Benefit.  Income tax  (expense)  in the first  quarter of
Fiscal 1998 was  $1,028,000  as compared to an income tax benefit of $481,000 in
the first  quarter of Fiscal  1997.  The  provisions  for  income tax  (expense)
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 1998,  operating activities provided $948,000 in
cash as compared to $7,353,000 used during the first quarter of Fiscal 1997. The
increase in cash  provided by  operations  for the first  quarter of Fiscal 1998
resulted  primarily  from  increased net income,  a reduction in trade  accounts
receivable,  an increase in accounts  payable,  as well as a smaller increase in
inventory for the first quarter of Fiscal 1998.

Net cash used in investing  activities  for the first quarter of Fiscal 1998 was
$1,173,000  as compared to  $2,691,000  during the first quarter of Fiscal 1997.
The net cash used during each of the periods presented was to purchase property,
plant  and  equipment.  The  Company  does  not have  any  significant  specific
commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

There was no net cash provided or used by financing  activities during the first
quarter of Fiscal  1998 as  compared  to  $8,460,000  provided  during the first
quarter of Fiscal 1997.  Borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit
provided the  principal  source of cash during the first  quarter of Fiscal 1998
and 1997.  The  increase  in the first  quarter of Fiscal 1998 was offset by the
purchase  of 500,000  shares of  treasury  stock for  $2,187,500  as well as the
contractual repayment of capital lease obligations.

The Company on December 28,  1997,  had  approximately  $19,000 in cash and cash
equivalents as compared to approximately $244,000 at September 28, 1997. Working
capital  at  December  28,  1997 was  $34,581,000  compared  to  $33,358,000  at
September 28, 1997. The Company had outstanding  borrowings of $17,528,000 under
its  $25,000,000   revolving  credit  facility  (subject  to  a  borrowing  base
limitation,  approximately $20,953,000 at December 28, 1997). The principal uses
of cash  during  the first  quarter of Fiscal  1998 were to pay the  semi-annual
interest  payment on the Company's Senior Secured Notes, the repurchase of stock
for treasury and the purchase of a technology  license from Emcore  Corporation.
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 generally  encountered  effective  resistance in connection with
its sales of coated fabrics to the automotive industry and its sales of acrylics
to the aerospace industry.  Thus, in an inflationary environment the Company may
not in all  instances  be  able to  pass  through  to  consumers  general  price
increases;   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.

Forward Looking Information

Statements made herein that are  forward-looking in nature within the meaning of
the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ  materially.  Such risks
and  uncertainties  include,  but are not limited to, those  related to business
conditions  and the  financial  strength  of the various  markets  served by the
Company,  the level of spending for such products and the ability of the Company
to successfully manufacture and market its products.
