Item 1. Business

Introduction

Rotonics Manufacturing Inc. (the "Company") was founded as an Illinois
Corporation, and was reincorporated in Delaware in December 1986. Effective
July 1, 1991, the Company merged with Rotonics Molding, Inc.-Chicago
("Rotonics"), with the Company being the surviving entity. In accordance with
the 1991 merger agreement, the Company issued 2,666,666 (after giving effect to
a 1-for-3 reverse stock split) shares of its common stock and 4,999,997 shares
of a newly issued non-voting preferred stock in exchange for all the
outstanding voting stock of Rotonics. The preferred stock, which has
subsequently been redeemed, was entitled to cumulative dividends of $.09 per
share per annum and had a liquidation value of $1.00 per share, plus accrued
unpaid dividends in preference to any payment on the common stock.

Rotonics had operations in Itasca, Illinois; Deerfield, Wisconsin; Denver,
Colorado; and Bartow, Florida. These operations currently conduct business as
divisions of the Company using the trade names RMI-C, RMI-W, RMI-D and RMI-F,
respectively. Rotonics was a privately held California Corporation which was
52% owned by Mr. Sherman McKinniss. Mr. McKinniss became president and chief
executive officer of the Company on August 12, 1991.

In September 1991 the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Rotational Molding,
Inc. ("RMI"), was merged into the Company and now operates as two divisions
using the trade names RMI-G and RMI-I with manufacturing operations in Gardena,
California and Caldwell, Idaho, respectively.

Effective January 1, 1992 the Company acquired Plastech Holdings, Inc.
("Plastech"), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Plastech International, Inc.,
for $1,777,070 in cash. Plastech was headquartered in Warminster, Pennsylvania
with an additional operation in Gainesville, Texas. In July 1992, Plastech was
merged with the Company and now operates as two divisions of the Company using
the trade names RMI-P/Plastech and RMI- T/Plastech.

Effective April 1, 1995 the Company purchased certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities of Custom Rotational Molding, Inc. ("CRM") for 300,000
shares of the Company's common stock. The Company assumed CRM's operations in
Arleta, California and currently operates this business as a division of the
Company at this location using the trade name RMI-A.

In September 1994, the Company purchased a larger manufacturing facility in
Bensenville, Illinois and subsequently relocated its Itasca, Illinois
operations into this new facility. In December 1995 the Company discontinued
its operations at its Deerfield, Wisconsin location and combined these
operations into its newly purchased Bensenville, Illinois operation. Because
of the close proximity of these two locations the Company will realize improved
efficiencies and productivity from the combination of resources into a single
operation. As part of the Wisconsin plant closure, the Company plans to sell
the Wisconsin real property. A portion of the Wisconsin facility is currently
being leased on a short term basis at $2,100 per month.

The Corporate office of the Company is located at the same site as the RMI-G
(Gardena, California) facility.

Description of Business

The Company currently has eight manufacturing locations and was again listed by
a plastics industry periodical as one of the top ten Rotational Molders in
North America. These operating divisions manufacture a variety of plastic
containers for commercial, agricultural, pharmaceutical, point of purchase
display, medical waste, refuse, marine, health care and residential use, as
well as a vast number of custom plastic products for a variety of industries,
utilizing the roto-molding process and, on a smaller scale, the dip molding
process. Roto-molding is a process for molding plastic resin by rotating a mold
in a heated environment while the plastic resin powder placed inside the mold
melts and evenly coats the inner wall of the mold. The roto-molding process
has been used for many years and continues to be recognized as a growth
industry in recent years as a result of numerous ongoing business
consolidations and the development of new resins. These new resins allow
roto-molded items to compete with more





4
5
traditional materials such as carbon and stainless steel, especially in the
fabrication of large, lightweight, one-piece molded items such as storage
tanks. Roto-molding is a particularly advantageous process for users of
molded plastic products who may want to test different prototypes, or who do
not require sufficient numbers of such products to justify a more expensive
manufacturing process. The Company's products include various types of storage
tanks, bin lids, refuse containers for automated removal, medical waste
containers, point-of-purchase displays, agricultural / livestock products and
containers and other molded items.

The Company purchases resin from seven major suppliers in the U.S. and Canada.
There are seven additional suppliers of minor significance. As the resin used
in the manufacturing process is a polyethylene derived from natural gas, resin
price is not directly related to the price for petrochemicals and until recent
years has not been generally subject to volatile fluctuations which are often
experienced by the petroleum industry. The Company also incorporates the use
of post-consumer plastic products blended with virgin materials in the
manufacturing of products that call for its use.

The Company holds several patents on storage containers used for pharmaceutical
and commercial applications. The patents expire through the year 2010.
Although the Company has been able to capture its share of this niche market
and expects to see continued growth, no one patent or groups of patents is
considered material to the business as a whole.

Competition for the Company's products is governed by geography and region
since large capacity tanks are expensive to ship long distances and, as such,
any prospective competitor is constrained by shipping costs. There are
numerous single-location as well as a growing trend to structure multi-location
roto-molding businesses throughout the United States. However, each of these
businesses still competes in a geographic region as determined by customer
demand within that region, a constraint inherent to the industry. Due to its
nationwide presence, the Company has substantially alleviated such constraint
as the Company's operations are located within approximately 500 miles of all
potential customers in the continental United States. The Company's sales are
usually not subject to large seasonal fluctuations as the business typically
operates on significant backlogs with a diverse product mix. Peak season is
usually experienced in the period from April through June. Historically the
quarter from January through March is the slowest production period of the
year. The Company's backlog was $4,936,400 and $3,990,900 as of June 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively. All of the backlog orders of June 30, 1996 are
expected to be filled during fiscal 1997.

The products are marketed through the Company's in-house sales and engineering
staff, various distributors and outside commission-based sales representatives.
The Company continues to build a strong, broad customer base which covers a
multitude of industries. As such, since fiscal 1991, no sales to any one
single customer represented a material part of the Company's business.

Research and development expenditures for the Company were insignificant for
the last three fiscal years.

Regulation

The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable federal,
state and local laws relating to the protection of the environment and does not
anticipate that any such laws will have any material effect on its financial
position, capital expenditures, or competitive position.

Employees

As of June 30, 1996, the Company employed a total of 458 individuals. The
Company maintains, for its respective employees who are eligible, a medical
insurance plan (some of which is contributory), a group life insurance plan and
an annual bonus plan.

The Company owns approximately 1.59 unencumbered acres (including 35,100 square
feet of warehouse, production and office space) in Deerfield, Wisconsin which
was vacated in December 1995 by the Company and is currently leased to an
unrelated lessee for $2,100 per month. The Company also owns 2.1 unencumbered
acres (including 24,000 square feet of warehouse, production and office space)
in Gainesville, Texas. This facility is currently under construction to add an
additional 13,800 square feet of warehouse and production space. In September,
1994 the Company purchased 3.1 acres (including 63,300 square feet of
warehouse, production and office space) encumbered by a $1.2 million mortgage
in Bensenville, Illinois for the the Company's Illinois manufacturing
operations. In December 1995 the Wisconsin facility was closed and its
operations were combined into the Illinois facility. The company currently
leases 11,375 square feet of the Illinois facility to an unrelated lessee for
an annual base rent of $62,400.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company encounters certain litigation
matters, which in the opinion of management, will not have a significant
adverse effect on the financial position or the results of operations of the
Company.

7
On April 16, 1996, the Company was named as defendant in a complaint filed by
Bonar U.S., Inc. in Delaware Superior Court. The complaint alleges claims for
breach of contract and promissory estoppel relating to an Agreement in
Principle entered into in connection with a proposed acquisition of the Company
by Bonar U.S., Inc. On April 3, 1996 the Company announced that it had
terminated the Agreement in Principal pursuant to its terms. The complaint
requests damages of $7,011,484. The Company believes the allegations in the
complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. On
May 17, 1996, the Company filed a counterclaim against Bonar U.S., Inc. and
Bonar Plastics, Inc. seeking damages totaling $25,237,725 for breach of the
Confidentiality Agreement with the Company, misappropriation of trade secrets,
intentional interference with a prospective economic advantage which the
Company obtained as a result of an indication of interest from a third party
and breach of a Royalty Agreement between Bonar Plastics, Inc. and one of the
Company's operating divisions (formally known as Custom Rotational Molding,
Inc.).

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Introduction

To the extent that this 10-K Annual Report discusses matters which are not
historical, including statements regarding future financial results,
information or expectation about products or markets, or otherwise makes
statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking and are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from the statements made. These include, among others,
fluctuations in costs of raw materials and other expenses, costs associated
with plant closures, downturns in the markets served by the Company, the costs
associated with new product introductions, as well as other factors described
under the heading "Item 3 - Legal Proceedings", under this Item 7,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations", and Footnote 1 to Financial Statements.


Operations

Net sales were relatively consistent with prior year results reporting net
sales of $35,703,600 for fiscal 1996 compared to $35,887,600 for fiscal 1995.
Fiscal 1996 was a challenging year for the Company as well as the Rotomolding
Industry in general due to tremendous fluctuations in raw material which in
turn caused confusion and anxiety in the marketplace. Management was pleased
that in spite of these adverse conditions it was still able to maintain its
overall market share. Fiscal 1996 also continued to be a year of transition
for the Company. In the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company closed its
Wisconsin facility and combined the operations into its Illinois facility.
During this transition the Company did realize an overall reduction in sales
volumes. However, since completion of the relocation process during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996, the restructured Illinois facility is primed to handle
increased sales volumes. Management anticipates realizing increased volumes in
this region as it capitalizes on Illinois facilities resources, increased
capacity and growth potential. Again, due to a lackluster marketplace in
fiscal 1996, several of the Company's proprietary product lines fell below
fiscal 1995 sales volume levels but, the Company also reported notable
increases in marine, custom, customer tooling and medical waste sales which
aided to minimize any shortfalls realized. The Company continues to see future
growth potential in these aforementioned product lines as well as continued
focus to increase market share for its material handling and agricultural
product lines. Sales of refuse containers also continues to be a strong market
for the Company and management anticipates this trend will continue during
fiscal 1997. In addition, the Company is currently expanding the building and
manufacturing capacity at its Texas facility. Once completed the Company plans
to expand the manufacturing and distribution of its tank product line into this
region.

Net sales increased $4,541,300 or 14.5% in fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal 1994.
The Company has experienced considerable growth in its refuse container, marine
and custom product lines during fiscal 1995. While a portion of the increase
in custom sales is attributed to the acquisition of Custom Rotational Molding,
Inc. ("CRM") which was effective on April 1, 1995, continued growth in the
Company's proprietary products, especially refuse containers and marine
industry products, contributed to a 10% increase in net sales. Sales also
increased due to several general price increases instituted to offset the
unprecedented increase in plastic resin costs, interest rates and the normal
inflation increases reflected in the Company's expenses. During fiscal 1995,
the Company also continued its focus on expanding its existing operations.
This included the relocation of its Illinois division to a 3.1-acre site
purchased by the Company as well as various machinery and facility expansions
to keep pace with current and future manufacturing requirements.

Cost of goods sold was $26,443,700 or 74.1% of net sales in fiscal 1996
compared to $26,298,900 or 73.3% and $23,312,300 or 74.4% of net sales in
fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively. Both fiscal 1996 and 1995 experienced
extreme volatility in plastic resin prices which resulted in unprecedented
increases in plastic resin prices (approximately 55%). The price increases
were enacted by the various resin suppliers in response to foreign market
demands as well as the various natural and internal disasters experienced by
the resin suppliers. The cost of plastic resin represents a significant
portion of the Company's manufacturing costs and as such places an undue
hardship on the Company to effectively mitigate these increases. During fiscal
1995, the Company did effectively mitigate the resin price increases by
initiating customer price increases, raw material purchasing strategies and
maximizing its volume rebate programs. However, because the Company could not
initially completely pass these costs on to its customers, during the first 6
months of fiscal 1996 the Company experienced increased costs as it depleted
lower priced resin reserves and replaced them with resin purchased at higher
current market prices. Again these costs were partially mitigated during the
remainder of fiscal 1996 using the above mentioned strategies coupled with





11
12
temporary reductions in resin prices and improved customer buying trends. As
the Company moves forward into fiscal 1997 management will continue to take
defensive tactics in response to current rising resin prices. As before, if
resin prices do not stabilize and the marketplace reacts adversely to future
pricing structures these factors could have an effect on the Company's gross
profit margin in fiscal 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,313,100 or 17.7% of net
sales in fiscal 1996 compared to $5,767,900 or 16.1% in fiscal 1995. The
increase is substantially attributed to approximately $435,000 in additional
expenses incurred associated with the Arleta, California facility which was
acquired during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995. The remaining increase is
attributed to increased professional fees of approximately $110,000 associated
with the proposed acquisition of the Company by Bonar U.S., Inc. and
approximately $50,000 in excess administrative expenses incurred during the
Wisconsin facility consolidation. The latter costs have been partially
mitigated due to improved operating efficiencies realized subsequent to the
consolidation of the two plants.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5,767,900 or 16.1% of net
sales in fiscal 1995 compared to $5,636,800 or 18% in fiscal year 1994. The
increase in the fiscal 1995 amount is primarily related to $154,000 in expenses
relating to the Arleta, California operations (formally CRM) since the
effective date of acquisition. However, overall costs have remained consistent
with prior year reflecting a decrease when compared as a percentage of net
sales due to increase volumes during fiscal 1995.

Interest expense decreased $70,000 to $696,500 in fiscal 1996 compared to
$766,500 in fiscal 1995. The decrease is attributed to a overall reduction
in the Company's debt structure of approximately $1.8 million as of June 30,
1996 coupled with last years renegotiated interest rates and reductions in the
bank's prime lending interest rate which lowered interest rates by 1.75% - 2%.
If the Company's bank borrowings remain consistent during fiscal 1997 and
interest rates remain stable the Company will continue to report lower interest
costs.

Interest expense increased $174,000 to $766,500 in fiscal 1995 compared to
$592,500 in fiscal 1994. The increase is related both to an increase in the
Company's debt structure and a substantial increase in the bank's interest rate
(up 25% over fiscal 1994). During fiscal 1995 the primary increase in the
Company's debt when compared to fiscal 1994 (approximately $1.9 million) is
attributed to the purchase of the Bensenville, Illinois property and the
repayment of CRM's bank debt of approximately $700,000 assumed in the
acquisition. As mentioned, the Company also experienced an increase in the
prime lending rate charged by the bank in response to increases in the discount
rate imposed by the Federal Reserve Bank. Due to these factors, the Company
renegotiated its entire loan facility with the bank in May 1995. Under the new
loan facility the Company realized a 20% savings (approximately a 1.5%
reduction in interest rates in absolute terms) in relation to the prior loan
facility.

Income before income taxes and cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle for income taxes decreased $784,800 to $2,407,200 or $.17 per common
share in fiscal 1996 compared to $3,192,000 or $.23 per common share in fiscal
1995. The decrease is due to slightly lower sales volumes during the current
fiscal year coupled with the resin cost increase and increases in selling,
general and administrative expenses outlined above. Although operating results
were below prior years' levels, management feels the current year's results
were satisfactory when one considers the challenging events which plagued
fiscal 1996. Management realizes fiscal 1997, as well as future periods, will
also present their own challenges. Therefore, management's goal will be to
continue to strive to increase sales volumes and profitability, in light of
industry conditions, with an unwavering commitment.

Income before income taxes and cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle for income taxes reflected a notable increase of $1,432,300 to
$3,192,000 or $.23 per common share in fiscal 1995 from $1,759,700 or $.12 per
common share in fiscal 1994. The increase is due to increases in sales volumes
in conjunction with the relatively consistent levels of costs associated with
manufacturing, selling and administrative functions in fiscal 1995.

Income tax expense was $934,500 or $.07 per common share for fiscal 1996
compared to income tax benefits of $95,600 and $113,300 for fiscal 1995 and
1994, respectively. The increase is due to the recognition of deferred income
taxes during fiscal 1996 which in prior years were minimized by the reversal of
the Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowance. During fiscal 1996, the
Company exhausted the remaining $590,300 valuation allowance reserve based on
management's continuing assessment and belief that the Company will continue to
utilize its NOLs in the foreseeable future. Although the Company must now
record a tax provision, the Company will not incur a cash flow requirement for
the payment of deferred taxes ($743,100 in fiscal 1996) until such time that
the Company fully utilizes its available net operating loss carryforwards.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle for Income Taxes

The Company recorded adjustments to the July 1, 1993 balance sheet to reflect
the impact of adopting FAS 109, netting to $4,013,000. This amount was
reflected in net income for fiscal 1994 as the cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle for income taxes. The adjustments primarily represent the
impact of recognizing a deferred tax asset for the benefit of tax operating
loss carryforwards that could not be recorded under FAS 96. For further
discussion relating to the adoption of FAS 109 by the Company, see Note 13 to
the financial statements.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital increased $1,021,300 to $8,158,500 at June 30, 1996 compared to
$7,137,200 at June 30, 1995. The increase is primarily attributed to a
$1,128,700 increase in current deferred tax assets for the utilization of the
Company's net operating loss carryforwards which is expected to occur within
one year, net of normal fluctuations in accounts receivables, accounts payable,
accrued liabilities and inventories consistent with current operations. Cash
provided by operations increased $1,342,700 in fiscal 1996. The increase is
primarily attributed to reductions in inventory levels consistent with current
operations compared to last years significant increases in inventory levels in
efforts to mitigate rising raw material costs. These results continue to
substantiate the Company's ability to sustain profitable operations at current
sales volumes not to mention the cash flow savings obtained from the
utilization of the Company's NOLs.

In May 1996, the Company borrowed $500,000 against its machinery and equipment
term loan commitment. The proceeds were used to pay down the Company's
revolving line of credit which had been used to temporarily finance
approximately $700,000 in machinery and equipment purchases. The note is due
in sixty monthly principal installments of $8,300 plus interest at the bank's
prime or optional LIBOR interest rates. In addition, the Company received
another $500,000 machinery and equipment term loan commitment for financing
future capital expenditures.

Borrowings under the Company's secured line of credit decreased $1,076,800 to
$1,983,500 between June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1996. Cash flows from operations
not only funded payments for term debt, capital expenditures, employee bonuses,
and our first common stock dividend payment, but also reduced our line of
credit debt down to its current level. At June 30, 1996, the Company has
approximately $3,000,000 available for future borrowings under its revolving
line of credit.

The Company expended a total of $981,100 for property, plant and equipment
during fiscal 1996 compared to $3,023,100 for fiscal 1995. The decrease is
attributed to the purchase of the Bensenville, Illinois property ($1,700,000)
and various building improvements and machinery and equipment projects at the
Bensenville, Illinois property completed in fiscal 1995. The Company currently
expects to spend between $1,200,000 and $1,500,000 in capital expenditures in
fiscal year 1997. The Company anticipates that the capital expenditures will
be financed from cash flows generated from operations and the existing bank
machinery & equipment term loan commitment.

In September 1995, the Company redeemed 250,232 shares of its 9% preferred
stock at the stated redemption value of $1 per share. On September 25, 1995,
pursuant to unanimous Board of Directors approval, the Company proceeded to
convert remaining outstanding preferred shares to the Company common stock.
The conversion was based on the issuance of one share of the Company's common
stock for every two shares of preferred stock outstanding. The conversion
resulted in the issuance of 1,374,884 shares of common stock. The complete
conversion of the remaining outstanding preferred stock will save the Company
approximately $250,000 in annual cash flow due to the elimination of future
preferred dividend payments and eliminate the need to incur additional debt and
interest costs to redeem the preferred stock. The Company does not plan to
issue any preferred shares in the future.

On December 8, 1995, the Board of Directors declared at its Annual Meeting of
Stockholders its first dividend on the Company's common stock since the July
1991 merger. A dividend of $.04 per common share was paid on January 29, 1996
to stockholders of record on January 10, 1996. With the recent redemption of
all preferred stock, eliminating the obligation to pay future preferred stock
dividends, and with the full support of the Company's bankers, the Board of
Directors felt it was an appropriate time to recognize and reward its loyal
stockholders with the declaration and payment of this dividend.

14
On April 16, 1996, the Company was named as defendant in a compliant filed by
Bonar U.S., Inc. in Delaware Superior Court. The complaint alleges claims for
breach of contract and promissory estoppel relating to an Agreement in
Principle entered into in connection with a proposed acquisition of the Company
by Bonar U.S. Inc. On April 3, 1996, the Company announced that it had
terminated the Agreement in Principal pursuant to its terms. The complaint
requests damages of $7,011,484. The Company believes the allegations in the
complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. On
May 17, 1996, the Company filed a counterclaim against Bonar U.S., Inc. and
Bonar Plastics, Inc. seeking damages totaling $25,237,725 for breach of the
Confidentiality Agreement with the Company, misappropriation of trade secrets,
intentional interference with a prospective economic advantage which the
Company obtained as a result of an indication of interest from a third party
and breach of a Royalty Agreement between Bonar Plastics, Inc. and one of the
Company's operating divisions (formally known as Custom Rotational Molding,
Inc.)

Cash flows from operations in conjunction with the Company's revolving line of
credit and machinery and equipment loan commitment are expected to meet the
Company's needs for working capital, capital expenditures and repayment of
long-term debt for the foreseeable future.

ROTONICS MANUFACTURING INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Organization and operations

Rotonics Manufacturing Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation
manufactures and markets plastic containers and vessels for commercial,
agricultural, refuse, pharmaceutical, marine, health care and residential use,
as well as an array of custom molded plastic products to customers in a variety
of industries located in diverse geographic markets. No single customer
accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 1996, 1995, or
1994. In fiscal 1996 the Company purchased in aggregate approximately 75% of
its plastic resin from three vendors. Plastic resin represents a significant
portion of the Company's manufacturing costs. As such, economic factors which
affect the Company's plastic resin vendors will have a potential impact on the
Company's future operations.

The Company's significant accounting policies are as follows:

Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized upon shipment to the customer or when title passes to
the customer based on the terms of the sales, and are recorded net of sales
discounts, returns and allowances.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on
the first-in, first-out method.

Property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and the estimated
useful lives of the assets range from five to thirty-nine years. When assets
are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is
included in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is
charged to income as incurred; costs relating to significant renewals and
betterments are capitalized.

Intangible assets

The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net
assets of businesses acquired is amortized on the straight-line basis over
periods ranging from twenty to forty years. Patents are amortized on the
straight-line basis over their useful lives of seventeen years, or at their
remaining useful life from date of acquisition.

Income taxes

Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (FAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." FAS 109 is an
asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In
estimating future tax consequences, FAS 109 generally considers all expected
future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates.
Previously, the Company used the FAS 96 asset and liability approach that gave
no recognition to future events other than the recovery of assets and
settlement of liabilities at their carrying amounts.






F-7
26
Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average outstanding
number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares. Common equivalent
shares include outstanding stock options and warrants. The weighted average
number of shares used in determining income/(loss) per common share was
13,858,300, 12,607,900 and 11,959,600 in fiscal 1996, 1995, 1994, respectively.


NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS:

On May 31, 1995 the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities, including $700,000 of debt, of Custom Rotational Molding, Inc.
("CRM") for 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of
$412,500. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and in accordance
with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization was effective April 1, 1995. The
Company's results of operations include those of CRM since the effective date
of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation, resulted in no recognition
of goodwill. The Company's results of operations in fiscal 1995 and 1994 would
not have been materially different had the acquisition of CRM been effective as
of the beginning of the respective periods. CRM currently conducts business as
a division of the Company using the trade name RMI-A and primarily manufactures
custom molded products for a variety of industries.


NOTE 3 - NOTES RECEIVABLE:

On March 31, 1995, the Company and a customer entered into an agreement under
which the Company acquired from this customer certain assets, including molds
and trade accounts receivable, at their total estimated fair value of $357,800,
which was applied against the principal of a 1993 Promissory Note owed by this
customer to the Company. The remaining unpaid principal, together with accrued
interest and open trade receivable from this customer as of March 31, 1995,
were exchanged for a new note with a principal balance of $455,000, bearing
interest at 8% per annum and maturing on March 31, 2005.

Effective March 31, 1995, the Company sold products manufactured using these
molds directly to end users. The Company shall pay to this former customer
royalties at the initial rate of 10% of the Company's net sales of these
products. Half of the royalty payments shall be applied to reduce principal
and interest until the former customer has received a total of $300,000 in
royalty payments or March 31, 1998, whichever is earlier. Subsequently, all
royalty payments shall be applied to principal and interest until such
principal and interest are paid in full, at which time the royalty rate will be
reduced to 5% through March 31, 2005. As of June 30, 1996, the total balance
of this note amounted to $487,100 including accrued interest of $32,100. The
Company intends to hold this note until maturity.

In June 1986, the Company acquired Pan Am, which manufactured Brighteyes
Headlights, for $3,310,000. On June 30, 1989, the Company sold substantially
all of the assets pertaining to the Brighteyes Headlights product line to
Ratliff Industries, Inc. (RII), of San Jose California. The selling price
aggregated $275,000 and consisted of $75,000 in cash, a short-term note of
$50,000 and a promissory note of $150,000 which bears interest at five percent
per annum, and is payable in quarterly principal installments, calculated as an
amount equal to $.60 times the number of products sold by RII during the
preceding quarter. Effective October 1, 1991, the rate used to calculate the
principal installments was reduced from $.60 to $.30. The balance outstanding
on the promissory note was $14,600 and $36,800 at June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

NOTE 7 - BANK LINE OF CREDIT:

The Company has a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank,

and equipment, accounts receivable and inventories. Interest is payable
monthly at the bank's prime rate. The bank's prime rate at June 30, 1996 was
8.25% per annum. In addition, the loan agreement allows the Company to convert
the outstanding principal balance in increments of $250,000 to a LIBOR-based
loan for up to 90-day periods. At June 30, 1996 total borrowings under the
Company's line of credit was $1,983,500 of which $1,750,000 was borrowed under
the LIBOR option at 7.9375% per annum maturing on July 2, 1996. Proceeds from
the loan were used for working capital purposes. At June 30, 1996 the Company
had approximately $3,000,000 available for future borrowings under the
revolving line of credit. The loan agreement contains various covenants
pertaining to tangible net worth, net income and liquidity ratios, capital
expenditures, payments of dividends, payment of subordinated debt as well as
various other restrictions. The Company was in compliance with these covenants
at June 30, 1996.

their preferred stock for 2,039,564 shares of the Company's common stock. The
conversion factor used a common stock value of $0.6875 per share (fair market
value at the date of conversion). In June 1994 the Board of Directors approved

NOTE 11 - STOCK OPTION PLAN:

In September 1985, the Company adopted a stock option plan for the granting of
options to directors and employees to purchase the Company's common stock. The
option price is determined by a committee of the Board of Directors, but cannot
be less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the
date of grant. Pursuant to the approval of the Company's shareholders at the
Company's 1992 Annual Meeting, the Company effected a one-for-three reverse
stock split on December 17, 1992. As such, the Company's authorized shares of
common stock for the stock option plan was reduced from 2,500,000 shares to
833,300 shares. In March 1993 the Board of Directors approved a resolution to
accelerate the vesting of all outstanding options under the plan to 100% so
that the employees could fully exercise their respective grants. The following
table has been modified to reflect the reduction in the number of shares
issuable upon exercise and the respective increases to the exercise price per
share.

In August 1994, the Company issued to certain key employees options to
purchase 40,000 shares of common stock under the Company's pre-existing stock
option plan.. The options are exercisable at $.8125 per share (fair market
value at date of grant) of which 50% are currently exercisable and the balance
exercisable after one year. The options expired August 12, 1996. The
Company's pre-existing stock option plan, and all ungranted options thereof,
expired November 11, 1994.

In December 1994, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, the
stockholders voted by majority decision to ratify and approve a new stock
option plan as adopted by the Board of Directors in June 1994. The plan
allows, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, for the granting of
options to key employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company
to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Under the terms
and conditions set forth in the plan, the exercise price of the stock options
will be a least 85% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on
the grant date. The plan expires June 12, 2004.

In August 1996 options were exercised for the issuance of an additional 7,500
shares of common stock and the remaining outstanding options to purchase 5,000
shares of common stock expired on August 12, 1996.

At June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, 1,000,000, 1,000,000 and 465,700 shares were
available for future grants, respectively.

NOTE 12 - PREFERRED STOCK and COMMON STOCK:

In September 1995, the Company redeemed 250,232 shares of its preferred stock
at the stated redeemed value of one dollar. Subsequent to the redemptions, in
accordance with unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, the Company
converted the remaining 2,749,768 shares of the outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock to 1,374,884 shares of the Company's common stock. The shares were
converted on the basis of one share of common stock for every two shares of
preferred stock outstanding.

On December 8, 1995, at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Board
of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $.04 per common share payable
on January 29, 1996 to stockholders of record on January 10, 1996.

At June 30, 1996, the Company has net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of
approximately $12,500,000 and $1,200,000, respectively, for federal and state
income tax purposes expiring in varying amounts through 2009. The NOL
carryforwards, which are available to offset future profits of the Company and
are subject to limitations should a "change in ownership" as defined in the
Internal Revenue code occur, will begin to expire in 1998 and 1996 for federal
and state purposes, respectively, if not utilized.

Effective July 1, 1993 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes". FAS 109 is an
asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns.
Previously, the Company used the FAS 96 approach that gave no recognition to
future events other than the recovery of assets and settlement of liabilities
at their carrying amounts. Under FAS 109 the Company recognizes to a greater
degree the future tax benefits of expenses which have been recognized in the
financial statements. The adjustments to the July 1, 1993 balance sheet to
adopt FAS 109 amounted to $4,013,000. This amount was reflected in net income
in fiscal 1994 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. It
primarily represents the impact of recognizing a deferred tax asset for the
benefit of tax NOL carryforwards that could not be recorded under FAS 96.

FAS 109 requires that the tax benefit of NOLs be recorded, using current tax
rates, as an asset to the extent management assesses the utilization of such
NOLs to be more likely than not. At July 1, 1993 management determined that
future taxable income of the Company will more likely than not be sufficient to
realize an initial deferred tax asset of $4,013,000, net of a valuation
allowance of $2,662,000. Realization of the future tax benefits of the NOL
carryforwards is dependent on the Company's ability to generate taxable income
at the current level within the carryforward period. In assessing the
likelihood

of utilization of existing NOL carryforwards, management considered the
historical results of operations over the last three years and the current
economic environment in which the Company operates. Management did not
consider any non-routine transactions in assessing the likelihood of
realization of the recorded deferred tax asset.

Based on the operating results since the adoption of FAS 109 and management's
continuing assessment, management believes that the Company will continue to
utilize its NOLs on a go-forward basis. As such, during the last three fiscal
years management has reduced the entire $2,662,000 initial valuation allowance
to zero. At June 30, 1996 the Company recorded a state valuation allowance of
$54,500 representing the potential amount of the Company's state NOL which will
not be utilized prior to its expiration. The adjustments to the valuation
allowance has been reflected as a component of the current year's tax
provision.


The following reconciles the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective
rate of the (benefit)/provision for income taxes:

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company encounters certain litigation
matters, which in the opinion of management, will not have a significant
adverse effect on the financial position or the results of operations of the
Company.

On April 16, 1996, the Company was named as a defendant in a compliant filed by
Bonar U.S., Inc. in Delaware Superior Court. The complaint alleges claims for
breach of contract and promissory estoppel relating to an Agreement in
Principle entered into in connection with a proposed acquisition of the Company
by Bonar U.S., Inc. On April 3, 1996, the Company announced that it had
terminated the Agreement of Principal pursuant to its terms. The complaint
requests damages of $7,011,484. The company believes the allegations in the
complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. On
May 17, 1996, the Company filed a counterclaim against Bonar U.S., Inc. and
Bonar Plastic, Inc. seeking damages totaling $25, 237,725 for breach of the
Confidentiality Agreement with the Company, misappropriation of trade secrets,
intentional interference with a prospective economic advantage which the
Company obtained as a result of an indication of interest from a third party
and breach of a Royalty Agreement between Bonar Plastics, Inc. and one of the
Company's operating divisions (formally known as Custom Rotational Molding,
Inc.). The outcome of this matter is uncertain.
