(Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) Delaware 0-17237 36-4147027 (State or other jurisdiction of (Commission (I.R.S. Employer Incorporation or organization) File Number) Identification No.) 4501 West 47th Street Chicago, IL 60632 (Address of principal executive offices) (Zip Code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (773) 890-1010 ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to (i) "HPI" or the "Company" is to Home Products International, Inc. a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Prestige Plastics, Inc. (as defined), (ii) Prestige Plastics, Inc., ("Prestige"),a Minnesota corporation, is to the wholly owned subsidiary of HPI created to execute the acquisition of certain assets from Newell Co. ("Newell"), and (iii) the "Asset Acquisition" is to the acquisition by HPI and the subsequent assignment to Prestige of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Newell's two operating units, Anchor Hocking Plastics ("AHP") and Plastics Inc. ("PI"). AHP and PI are collectively referred to herein as "Plastics". On September 8, 1998 in accordance with the terms of an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement among, HPI, Plastics, and Newell, HPI executed the Asset Acquisition with an all cash purchase price of $78,000,000. The final purchase price is subject to a tangible net worth adjustment. In conjunction with the Asset Acquisition, HPI amended and restated its $100,000,000 revolving credit agreement dated May 14, 1998, (the "Prior Credit Agreement") among HPI, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as administrative agent, to add, among other items, a $50,000,000 term loan, (the "Term Loan"). The $150,000,000 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated September 8, 1998, (the "New Credit Agreement") among HPI, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as administrative agent left the $100,000,000 revolving credit agreement substantially the same as it was under the Prior Credit Agreement. Financing for the Acquisition was obtained from the New Credit Agreement. A portion of the total $78,000,000 cash consideration was obtained from the Term Loan, and the remaining $28,000,000 was obtained from the revolving credit facility portion of the New Credit Agreement. Remaining availability under the New Credit Agreement after accounting for the Acquisition was approximately $52,000,000. AHP is a leading supplier of food storage containers sold through mass-market chains, while PI is a leading supplier of upscale, disposable plastic servingware distributed through institutional and retail markets. It is HPI's intention to continue to utilize the assets acquired in the same manor as they were used prior to the Asset Acquisition. ITEM 7.

PLASTICS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995 (1) Description of the Business- Plastics, Inc. (the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Newell Co. ("Newell"), is a leading manufacturer and marketer of plastic food storage and servingware products sold to the consumer and commercial foodservice markets located in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Company is comprised of two operating units, Anchor Hocking Plastics ("AHP") and Plastics Inc. ("PI"). (2) Significant Accounting Policies- Principles of consolidation- The consolidated results of the Company include the accounts of both AHP and PI. All intercompany accounts between the two operating units are eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates- The preparation of these financial statements required the use of certain estimates by management in determining the Company's assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures. Revenue recognition- Sales of merchandise are recognized upon shipment to customers. Allowances for doubtful accounts- Historically, write-offs for the Company have been insignificant; therefore, no bad debt expense or allowance for bad debt has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Inventories- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost of inventories was determined by the "last in, first-out" ("LIFO") method. If the "first-in, first out" ("FIFO") inventory valuation method had been used, inventories would have increased by $423,000, $397,000 and $1,003,000 at December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. The components of inventories at December 31, net of the LIFO reserve, were as follows: 1997 1996 1995 ---------- ---------- ---------- Materials and supplies $1,896,000 $2,716,000 $2,202,000 Work in process 2,689,000 3,044,000 3,520,000 Finished products 3,415,000 4,527,000 5,907,000 ---------- ---------- ---------- $8,000,000 $10,287,000 $11,629,000 ========== =========== =========== Inventory reserves at December 31, totaled $824,000 in 1997, $1,064,000 in 1996, and $2,103,000 in 1995.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. The components of depreciation are provided by annual charges to income calculated to amortize on the straight-line basis, the cost of the depreciable assets over their depreciable lives.

(6) Income Taxes- The Company accounts for income taxes as prescribed by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." For U.S. income tax purposes, the Company's income is included in Newell Co.'s consolidated Federal income tax return. As a result, the Company records Federal taxes as an intercompany transaction with Newell.

No costs related to these services have been allocated by Newell Co. to the Company. Newell Co. also maintains worker's compensation reserves at the Corporate level. Newell Co. charges the Company an annual expense representing the Company's share of the Newell Co. expense. Worker's compensation expense of the Company was $190,000, $371,000 and $310,000 for the years ended 1997, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

("Prestige"), a wholly owned subsidiary 1. of Newell Co., prior to acquisition by Home Products International, Inc. on September 8, 1998, was named Plastics, Inc. and is a leading manufacturer and marketer of plastic food storage and servingware products sold to the consumer and commercial foodservice markets. Prestige is comprised of two operating units, Anchor Hocking Plastics ("AHP") and Plastics Inc.("PI"). The consolidated results of Prestige include the accounts of both AHP and PI. All intercompany accounts between the two operating units have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein as of June 27, 1998 and 1997 reflect, in the opinion of Prestige management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Note Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs of 2. inventories were determined by the "last-in-first-out" ("LIFO") method. If the "first-in-first-out" method had been used, inventories would have increased by $706 as of June 27, 1998. Prestige maintains resrves for slow moving and obsolete inventory which are adjusted throughout the year as determined necessary by management. Note The provision for income taxes is determined by applying an 3. estimated annual effective tax rate to income before income taxes. The estimated annual effective tax rate is based upon the most recent annualized forecast of pretax income and permanent book/tax differences.
