BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Summa Industries (the "Company"), some of which are unaudited, have been condensed in certain respects and should, therefor, be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes related thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1999. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the interim period, all of which were normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the six months ended February 29, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending August 31, 2000. 2.

ACQUISITIONS On March 5, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Plastron Industries, L.P. ("Plastron"). The aggregate purchase price paid for Plastron consisted of (i) $19,525,000 in cash; (ii) a four-year warrant exercisable to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $11.75 per share valued at $278,000; (iii) investment banking fees consisting of a $125,000 cash payment and stock options, valued at $32,000; and (iv) the assumption of certain liabilities, principally trade payables and accrued obligations of $2,220,000. The transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets purchased and liabilities assumed or incurred based upon their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net assets acquired amounted to $13,781,000 and has been recorded as goodwill which is being amortized on a straight line basis over 35 years. In September 1999, Summa acquired substantially all of the assets of Broadview Injection Molding Co., Inc. ("Broadview"). The aggregate purchase price paid for Broadview consisted of $2,143,000 in cash, liabilities assumed or incurred of $273,000 and acquisition costs of $26,000. The transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets purchased and liabilities assumed or incurred based upon their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the net fair market value of acquired assets was $117,000 and has been recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized on a straight line basis over 15 years. The results of operations of Plastron have been included in the consolidated results of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows of the Company since March 5, 1999, the date of the acquisition. The following unaudited proforma financial information presents the results of operations of the Company with Plastron as if it had been acquired as of September 1, 1998. Proforma adjustments have been made to give effect to the amortization of goodwill, adjustments in depreciation and inventory value, interest expense related to acquisition debt, the related tax effects and the effect upon basic and diluted earnings per share of the stock 7 options and warrants issued in conjunction with the acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma financial information does not include adjustments to give effect to the Broadview acquisition as such adjustments would not be material: Three months ended Six months ended Feb 28, 1999 Feb 29, 2000 Feb 28, 1999 Feb 29, 2000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net sales................................. $26,933,000 $30,023,000 $54,715,000 $58,592,000 Net income................................ $ 1,498,000 $1,647,000 $3,046,000 $3,250,000 Income per common share................... basic................................ $.36 $.38 $.72 $.75 diluted.............................. $.33 $.36 $.68 $.71 The pro forma results in the preceding table are not necessarily indicative of what the actual consolidated results of operations might have been if the acquisition of Plastron had been effective at September 1, 1998 or the results which may be achieved in the future. 6.

Actual results could differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those detailed in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis" section and elsewhere herein and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Summa manufactures diverse plastic products in two segments: Engineered Polymer Components and Extruded Plastic Products. Summa designs and manufactures injection-molded plastic optical components for OEM customers in the lighting industry; modular plastic conveyor belt and chain for the food processing industry; engineered plastic fittings, valves, filters and tubing for the agricultural irrigation industry; molded plastic coil forms ("bobbins") for use in transformers, motors, relays and switches; extruded plastic sheet with smooth or textured surfaces in various colors and sizes for diverse industrial applications, and other molded and extruded plastic components for diverse industries. Growth has been achieved by acquisition, development of new products and expansion of the Company's sales organization. There can be no assurance that Summa will be able to continue to consummate acquisitions, develop new products or expand sales to sustain rates of revenue growth and profitability in future periods comparable to those experienced in the past several years. Any future success that the Company may achieve will depend upon many factors including factors which may be beyond the control of Summa or which cannot be predicted at this time. These factors may include changes in the markets for the products offered by the Company through its operating subsidiaries, increased levels of competition including the entry of additional competitors and increased success by existing competitors, reduced margins caused by competitive pressures and other factors, increases in operating costs including costs of production, materials, supplies, personnel, equipment, import duties and transportation, increases in governmental regulation imposed under federal, state or local laws, including regulations applicable to environmental, labor and trade matters, changing customer profiles and general economic and industry conditions that affect customer demand and sales volume, both domestically and internationally, the introduction of new products by Summa or its competitors, the need to make material capital expenditures, the timing of Summa's advertising and promotional campaigns, and other factors. 9 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain information, derived from Summa's unaudited consolidated statements of income from continuing operations, as a percent of sales for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 1999 and February 29, 2000, and the Company's effective income tax rate during those periods: Three months ended Six months ended Feb 28, 1999 Feb 29, 2000 Feb 28, 1999 Feb 29, 2000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net sales....................................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales................................... 68.4% 70.5% 68.6% 70.8% ---- ---- ---- ---- Gross profit.................................... 31.6% 29.5% 31.4% 29.2% S,G & A and other expenses...................... 20.4% 18.3% 20.0% 18.0% ---- ---- ---- ---- Operating income................................ 11.2% 11.2% 11.4% 11.2% Interest expense, net........................... 1.6% 2.5% 1.6% 2.4% ---- ---- ---- ---- Income before tax............................... 9.6% 8.7% 9.8% 8.8% Provision for income taxes...................... 3.7% 3.2% 3.8% 3.3% ---- ---- ---- ---- Net income...................................... 5.9% 5.5% 6.0% 5.5% ==== ==== ==== ==== Effective tax rate.............................. 38.5% 37.2% 38.9% 37.1% ==== ==== ==== ==== Sales for the second quarter, ended February 29, 2000, increased $7,036,000, or 31%, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to the inclusion of the sales of newly acquired operations and internal growth. Same business sales in the second quarter were up 11% in the Engineered Polymer Components segment, up 3% in the Extruded Plastic Products segment, and up 10% overall, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Sales for the six months ended February 29, 2000 increased $12,334,000, or 27%, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to the inclusion of the sales of newly acquired operations and internal growth. Same business sales in the period were up 7% in the Engineered Polymer Components segment, down 4% in the Extruded Plastic Products segment, and up 6% overall, compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999. Sales, especially in the Extruded Plastic Products segment, were adversely impacted by a plant relocation and difficulties with the implementation of manufacturing software, during the first quarter. Gross profit for the second quarter increased $1,600,000, or 22%, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the effects of acquisitions and sales growth. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased from 31.6% to 29.5%, as a result of the blending of newly acquired businesses with historically lower gross margins. Gross profit for the six months ended February 29, 2000 increased $2,606,000, or 18%, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the effects of acquisitions and sales growth. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased from 31.4% to 29.2%, as a result of the blending of newly acquired businesses with historically lower gross margins and the adverse effects of a plant relocation and difficulties with the implementation of manufacturing software, during the first quarter. 10 Operating expenses for the second quarter ended February 29, 2000 increased $801,000, or 17%, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the inclusion of the operating expenses of recently acquired businesses and increased marketing and sales activities. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses decreased from 20.4% to 18.3%, primarily as a result of the blending of newly acquired businesses with historically lower operating expenses. Operating margin did not change from the second quarter of fiscal 1999 to the second quarter of fiscal 2000, as a result of the off-setting changes in gross margin and operating expenses discussed above. Operating expenses for the six months ended February 29, 2000 increased $1,279,000, or 14%, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the inclusion of the operating expenses of recently acquired businesses and increased marketing and sales activities. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses decreased from 20.0% to 18.0%, primarily as a result of the blending of newly acquired businesses with historically lower operating expenses. Operating margin decreased from 11.4% in the first six months of fiscal 1999 to 11.2% in the first six months of fiscal 2000, as a result of the changes in gross margin and operating expenses discussed above. Net interest expense for the quarter ended February 29, 2000, increased $378,000 from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to increased debt levels related to acquisitions and increased interest rates. Net interest expense for the six months ended February 29, 2000 increased $677,000 from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to increased debt levels related to acquisitions and increased interest rates. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased to 37.2% from 38.5% in the comparable prior year period, due to a lower effective combined state income tax rate and increased foreign sales corporation tax benefit. The effective tax rate in the six months ended February 29, 2000 decreased to 37.1% from 38.9% in the comparable prior year period due to a lower effective combined state income tax rate and increased foreign sales corporation tax benefit. The Company's backlog of unfilled orders, believed to be firm, increased from $9,338,000 at August 31, 1999 to $11,252,000 at February 29, 2000. Because the length of time between entering an order and shipping the product is typically shorter than one month, backlog levels are not a reliable indicator of future sales volume. 11 The following tables set forth the relative contribution of each of Summa's reportable segments to the sales and operating income of the entire Company and the operating margins of each segment: RELATIVE CONTRIBUTION BY SEGMENT Three months ended Six months ended Feb 28, 1999 Feb 29, 2000 Feb 28, 1999 Feb 29, 2000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net sales Engineered polymer components........................ 79.1% 83.5% 79.7% 84.5% Extruded plastic products............................ 20.9% 16.5% 20.3% 15.5% ----- ----- ----- ----- Consolidated......................................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Operating profit Engineered polymer components........................ 106.4% 101.6% 103.6% 102.0% Extruded plastic products............................ 10.9% 10.3% 10.5% 7.9% All other............................................

The Company's working capital at February 29, 2000 was $13,210,000, compared to $10,326,000 at August 31, 1999. The most significant changes were an increase in accounts receivable of $1,851,000, as a result of increased sales, and a decrease of accrued liabilities of $591,000 due to timing of payments. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS. The Company has several debt relationships as described below. Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged to secure debt. All of the borrowings from the banks are at variable interest rates and require compliance with financial and operating covenants. Interest rates on bank debt are subject to reduction as the Company achieves certain financial milestones or increase if the Company borrows additional funds. 12 Summary of the Company's debt at February 29, 2000: Weighted Average Interest Additional Description of Debt Balance Rate Availability Due ------------------- ------- ---- ------------ --- Bank line of credit........................ $ 9,558,000 8.0% $15,442,000 2003 Bank term loans............................ 19,081,000 8.0% --- 2000 - 2005 Acquisition facility....................... --- --- 12,800,000 --- Industrial revenue bonds and other......... 5,656,000 6.5% --- 2000 - 2021 ----------- ---- ----------- Total debt................................. $34,295,000 7.8% $28,242,000 =========== ==== =========== COMMON STOCK. The Company announced a stock buy-back program September 28, 1998 which authorized the Company to purchase its common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $2,000,000. During the quarter ended February 29, 2000, 42,500 shares were repurchased under the program, at an average cost of $10.89 per share and 13,675 shares were issued pursuant to stock option exercises at an average exercise price of $5.03. As of February 29, 2000, 60,500 shares of common stock had been repurchased under the program, at an aggregate cost of $615,000. Summa believes that cash flows from operations and existing credit facilities will be sufficient to fund working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and debt service for the next twelve months. The Company has a strategy of growth by acquisition. In the event an acquisition plan is adopted which requires funds exceeding the availability described above, an alternate source of funds to accomplish the acquisition would have to be developed. The Company has 10,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which 4,293,077 shares were outstanding at February 29, 2000 and 5,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock authorized, of which none is outstanding.

OTHER INFORMATION Prior to October 1986, a previously owned business unit of one of the Company's subsidiaries operated a facility on property within an area subsequently designated as a federal Superfund site. In 1997, the Company learned that hazardous substances had been detected in the soil at the property and that the current owner had been requested by a state agency to undertake additional investigation at the property. The Company also became aware that the property has been subject to a general notice letter issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under the federal Superfund law. The Company, as the successor to one of several prior tenants of the property, may be held responsible for the contamination at the site regardless of whether its subsidiary caused the contamination. The Company does not believe it is responsible for any contamination at the property, and has not been notified or contacted by any governmental authority in that regard, nor named in any proceeding relating to the property. However, if the Company were held liable under federal Superfund law, or other environmental law, or had to defend itself against such a claim, the consequences could be material to the Company's financial statements.
