BUSINESS GENERAL Sun Coast Industries, Inc. ("Sun Coast" or the "Company") manufactures and sells plastic closures, lids and melamine and urea resins and compounds. The Resins and Compounds Division manufactures melamine and urea resins and compounds, which it supplies to other manufacturers and has used in producing its own consumer products and foodservice products. The Closures Division manufactures linerless, foil or foam lined and tamper-evident plastic closures and lids. These closures are used in the U.S. for bottling and packaging of food, beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical products. The Consumer Products and Foodservice Tableware Divisions, which are being discontinued (see Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements), manufacture compression molded melamine dinnerware and injection molded plastic drinkware and other household products, which the Company sells to U.S., Canadian and Mexican retail and commercial markets. CONTINUING OPERATIONS: RESINS AND COMPOUNDS DIVISION Sun Coast manufactures melamine and urea resins and molding compounds at its facilities in Dallas, Texas, and Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Sun Coast believes that its proprietary formulations and technical expertise enable it to provide consistently high quality chemical products. The Company sells these products directly to its customers, which use them as raw materials in their own manufacturing processes. Sun Coast is also a leading supplier of melamine resin to manufacturers of decorative laminate, which is used for countertops and tabletops and other furniture and fixture and flooring surfaces. Sun Coast is a leading supplier of urea and melamine molding compounds to U.S. manufacturers of electrical outlet and switch plates. Melamine resists scratching, breaking and chipping; it also resists grease and weak acid and it is odorless and easy to clean. Urea is similar in nature but less expensive to produce and less durable than melamine. Melamine resin is made principally from melamine crystals, formaldehyde and water which are combined in a heated reactor. Urea resin is made using a similar process with the same raw materials, with the substitution of urea crystals for melamine crystals. Molding compounds are made from melamine or urea resin and purified cellulose fillers, pigments, plasticizers and curing agents. These materials are combined in a wet mixture, dried and ground to a fine powder. There are three other major U.S. suppliers of melamine and urea molding compounds similar to those supplied by the Company and many major suppliers of melamine and urea resins. Some of these suppliers have greater resources than the Company and are parts of large, diversified companies. In this highly competitive market, the Company competes on the basis of product quality, customer service and price. CLOSURES DIVISION Sun Coast manufactures linerless, foil or foam lined and tamper-evident plastic closures and lids. The Company markets these products directly, and through distributors and sales representatives, to manufacturers of packaged food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. These plastic closures seal food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical containers generally made of plastic. Plastic closures are injection molded from polypropylene or polyethylene. Key factors such as cycle time, the optimal number of mold cavities and the quality of the mold are important in attaining production efficiency and cost control. Sun Coast prototypes custom closures for the purpose of testing and qualifying the closures for use with customers' products. Plastic closures offer an advantage over metal ones, because metal closures may chemically react with some foods. Plastic closures also allow the use of a foil lined induction inner-seal for tamper evidence -- a feature metal closures lack. Sun Coast's lined closures are used with a variety of food and beverage products, including juices, sauces, dressings and peanut butter. The design of the Company's Sun-Tab foil seal, widely used in peanut butter packaging, incorporates a series of three small tabs that extend over the edge of the 1 3 container. The consumer grasps any one of the tabs to remove the entire liner. Sun Coast owns several patents encompassing closure and tamper-evident band designs as well as a patent on a plastic closure for hermetic, pressure or vacuum sealing of glass or plastic bottles and jars. The Company's Sun-Twist closure is used as a tamper-evident, easy-opening seal for "hot-fill" beverages, including fruit juices, teas and isotonic sport drinks. The "hot-fill" market is one of the fastest growing for the Closures Division. This market has developed in connection with beverage packers' replacement of glass bottles with polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") bottles, which are highly attractive to consumers because they are lightweight and have the clarity of glass. Sun Coast competes with several major corporations and numerous smaller companies in the highly competitive closures market. The Company is a medium size manufacturer in this industry and competes primarily on price, quality, delivery and service. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: CONSUMER PRODUCTS AND FOODSERVICE DIVISIONS On December 6, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a formal plan to dispose of its Foodservice and Consumer Products Tableware Divisions, including the Company's subsidiary in Mexico and to consider strategic alternatives related to the on-going business. These divisions have been accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, which among other provisions, requires the plan of disposal to be carried out within one year. Management believes this is a reasonable time period for the disposal. In February 1997, the Company sold its Foodservice Division and it has plans underway to exit the Consumer Products Tableware Division, either through sale or termination of operations. Based on management's assumptions used in determining the estimated loss from the disposal of the Tableware business, the Company recorded a provision of $4.9 million, net of income taxes, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. This loss consisted of the estimated net loss on the sale of the Foodservice Division and estimated net loss on the exit of the Consumer Products Tableware Division of approximately $4.0 million, net of income taxes, as well as estimated operating losses during the period required to dispose of the divisions of approximately $0.9 million, net of income taxes. Sales for the divisions for the five months of fiscal 1997 prior to the December 6th Board's decision to discontinue these operations were $7.7 million. Sales for the twelve month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 were $24.5 and $21.9 million, respectively. Interest expense allocated to the operating losses of the discontinued operations was calculated as the ratio of the discontinued operations net assets to the sum of consolidated net assets and consolidated debt, multiplied by interest expense for the period. The net assets of discontinued operations at June 30, 1997 were $7.6 million including an estimated reserve for loss on disposal of $3.3 million. The remaining reserve for loss on disposal is considered adequate at June 30, 1997 to cover estimated future costs of disposal of the Consumer Products Tableware Division. See Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. HISTORICAL BACKLOG The Company's backlog is comprised of written purchase orders and contracts, substantially all of which are cancelable on short -- generally 30 days -- notice. There is no assurance that some portion of the backlog may not be canceled or that the level of backlog at any particular time is an appropriate indicator of the future operating performance of the Company. Backlog for products of the Resins and Compounds Division decreased 2.1% to $3.0 million at June 30, 1997 from $3.1 million at June 30, 1996. This decrease reflects shorter term purchase commitments as customers attempt to manage inventory levels. 2 4 Backlog for products of the Closures Division increased 26.0% to $36.9 million at June 30, 1997 from $29.3 million at June 30, 1996. This increase primarily reflects increased volume of orders from existing customers as well as orders from new customers. Management attributes this increase to the consistency of the Closures Division's product quality and its level of customer service. In the Resins and Compounds Division, orders are generally shipped within 30 to 60 days of receipt. In the Closures Division, orders are based primarily on customers' annual estimated needs. Other orders are for specific quantities and some are multi-year. Customer commitments require delivery of a quantity of closures per month for a specific number of months, with seasonal variations. These commitments are generally subject to cancellation at the discretion of the customer on 30 days' notice to the Company; however, longer term contracts do include cancellation penalties. Customer written purchase orders for specific quantities are generally filled as received, either out of inventory or current production. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The Company supplies chemical products for several large customers which may result in one customer accounting for more than 10% of the Company's net sales in a given fiscal year. In fiscal 1997, sales of chemical products to Wilsonart International, Inc. and Eagle Plastics, Inc. accounted for approximately $14.2 million or 21.3% and $10.6 million or 15.9%, of the Company's net sales, respectively. The Company has sold chemical products to Wilsonart International, Inc. for more than 20 years on the basis, the Company believes, of quality, service, delivery and price. Wilsonart International, Inc. and Eagle Plastics, Inc. buy through purchase orders issued periodically, which can be discontinued at any time. Management believes that the Company has a good relationship with both Wilsonart International, Inc. and Eagle Plastics, Inc.; however, the loss of either of these customers or a significant portion of its business, would adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company. See Note 11 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company has research and development laboratories at its principal manufacturing facilities in Texas and Florida, where it continuously tests its products, engages in product application research and endeavors to develop new products to complement those presently offered. The Company employs nine people in research and development, including one Ph.D. and two chemists. Research and development expenditures for fiscal 1995, 1996, and 1997 were $1.1 million, $0.7 million, and $1.2 million, respectively. RAW MATERIALS The principal raw materials used by the Company in manufacturing plastic products and compounds are melamine crystals, urea crystals, styrene acrylonitrile, polypropylene and polyethylene resins, formaldehyde, cellulose fillers, pigments, plasticizers, curing agents and lining material. Historically, these materials have been available in sufficient quantities for the Company's needs; however, during fiscal 1998, the world-wide supply of melamine is not meeting demand causing price increases during the first and second quarters. Although the cost of raw materials used in the Company's operations have historically been relatively stable, their prices increased significantly during fiscal 1995 and the first half of fiscal 1996. The most dramatic change was in the prices of formaldehyde, melamine and pulp. These repeated cost increases had a significant impact on gross margin and earnings during fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996. Costs did decline in the second half of fiscal 1996 improving profitability in fiscal 1997. See additional discussion in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. EMPLOYEES At June 30, 1997 Sun Coast had 454 employees, of whom 99 were office or clerical and 355 hourly manufacturing. Local No. 745 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America is the exclusive collective bargaining agent for the approximately 213 hourly manufacturing employees at the Company's Dallas, Texas facility pursuant to a three-year union contract which expires on March 31, 1998. None of the Company's 139 hourly employees at its Sarasota, Florida 3 5 facility, or the 3 hourly employees at its Murfreesboro, Tennessee facility is represented by a labor union. Management believes that it has a good relationship with its employees. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company owns a 72,000 square foot office, manufacturing and warehouse building and a 74,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse building in Sarasota, Florida. In Dallas, Texas, it also owns a 348,000 square foot office and manufacturing building and a 75,000 square foot warehouse which is currently underutilized and is listed for sale. At the Florida facilities, the Company manufactures closures. At its Texas facility, the Company manufactures melamine and plastic injection molded consumer products and foodservice products and chemical products. Both Texas facilities and one Florida facility secure the Company's existing bank indebtedness. In Mexico City, Mexico, the Company leases a 32,000 square foot office, manufacturing and warehouse facility under a lease expiring in April 1999 and has entered into a one year renewable lease for 23,000 square feet of additional warehouse space effective July 1, 1995. In Murfreesboro, Tennessee, the Company leases approximately 5,000 square feet of space to manufacture chemical products. The Company believes that, after its sale of the Texas 75,000 square foot warehouse, its properties are adequate for current uses. On September 12, 1996 the Company sold a 60,000 square foot manufacturing building in Dallas, Texas for $525,000 in cash and a note in the principal amount of $200,000. The proceeds were used to repay bank debt. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is a defendant in certain legal proceedings that management regards as normal to its business. The Company believes that the disposition of these matters will not have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS Not applicable. 4 6 PART II. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Since November 3, 1993, the Common Stock of the Company has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SN. Prior to that date, the Common Stock was listed on the NASDAQ National Market System. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices per share of the Common Stock. HIGH LOW ------ ----- FISCAL 1996 First Quarter............................................. $10.38 $6.88 Second Quarter............................................ 9.00 6.63 Third Quarter............................................. 7.63 4.88 Fourth Quarter............................................ 6.50 4.00 FISCAL 1997 First Quarter............................................. $ 5.13 $3.50 Second Quarter............................................ 4.00 2.75 Third Quarter............................................. 3.75 2.25 Fourth Quarter............................................ 4.63 1.88 At September 22, 1997, there were approximately 2,245 record holders of the Common Stock. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on the Common Stock. Management intends to retain any future earnings for the operation and expansion of the Company's business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company's existing credit facility restricts the Company's ability to pay dividends. See Note 6 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 5 7 ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, items from the consolidated statements of operations as a percentage of sales: FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, -------------------------- 1995 1996 1997 ------ ------ ------ Net sales................................................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Costs and expenses: Costs of sales............................................ 82.3 82.5 80.4 Selling, general and administrative....................... 14.8 14.1 10.8 Interest, net............................................. 2.0 2.6 2.9 ----- ----- ----- 99.1 99.2 94.1 ----- ----- ----- Income from continuing operations before income taxes..... 0.9 0.8 5.9 Provision for income taxes................................ 0.5 0.5 2.4 ----- ----- ----- Income from continuing operations................. 0.4 0.3 3.5 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes.................................................. 1.3 (3.4) (1.2) Loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net of income taxes.................................................. -- -- (7.3) ----- ----- ----- Net income (loss)................................. 1.7% (3.1)% (5.0)% ===== ===== ===== RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR FISCAL 1997 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1996 Net sales increased 13.3% to $66.7 million during 1997 from $58.9 million in 1996. Closure Division's sales increased 5.0% to $28.9 million in 1997 from $27.6 million in 1996 and Resins and Compounds Division's sales increased 20.6% to $37.8 million in 1997 from $31.3 million in 1996 both due to increased customer orders, certain of which are non-recurring in the Resins and Compounds Division. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 80.4% in 1997 from 82.5% in 1996. This improvement in gross margin was due primarily to the increased sales volume and decreased raw material prices. Additional overhead may be charged to the Resins and Compounds Division in the future due to the shutdown of the Consumer Products and Foodservice Tableware Divisions; however, it is too early to predict the impact on future cost of sales. Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") decreased 13.3% to $7.2 million in 1997 from $8.3 million in 1996. The reduction in SG&A in 1997 is primarily due to a non-recurring severance payment made to the former President of the Company in February 1996, and other related expenses. Despite lower average borrowings during the year, interest expense increased 28.3% from 1996 to 1997 primarily due to an increase in interest rates with new bank financing completed in January 1997. The average outstanding borrowings during 1997 were $25.5 million compared to an average of $29.5 million in 1996. Income from continuing operations was $2.3 million ($0.58 per share) in fiscal 1997 versus income from continuing operations of $0.2 million ($0.05 per share) in fiscal 1996. This increase is primarily due to increased sales volumes in fiscal 1997 and the severance payments in fiscal 1996, discussed above. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995 Total sales decreased 4.2% to $58.9 million during 1996 from $61.5 million in 1995. Substantially all of this decrease occurred in the first half of the year and related principally to volume declines in response to the Company's effort to pass through raw material cost increases on the Company's product lines. Sales in the Resins and Compounds Division decreased 10.3% to $31.3 million in 1996 from $34.9 million in 1995. The 7 9 decrease in Resins and Compounds Division sales was due to volume decreases as customers declined to accept price increases and instead used the opportunity to reduce their own inventory levels as their markets weakened. Sales in the Closures Division increased 3.8% to $27.6 million in 1996 from $26.5 million in 1995, resulting from price increases and the addition of new products and customers. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 82.5% in 1996 from 82.3% in 1995. The decline in gross margin was the result of raw material price increases and related volume declines as customers resisted price pass-throughs from the increased costs of raw materials. Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") decreased 8.4% to $8.3 million in 1996 from $9.1 million in 1995. The decrease is attributed to the overall decline in sales volumes. Interest expense increased 22.3% from 1995 to 1996 due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates near the end of fiscal 1996. The average outstanding borrowings during 1996 were $29.5 million compared to an average of $25.9 million in 1995. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Management reviews the Company's working capital, accounts receivable and relationship of debt to equity on a continuing basis. The Company's growth has been financed through long-term debt financing and cash generated from operations. During fiscal 1997, the Company repaid net borrowings by $9.9 million. Cash flow from continuing operations generated $13.0 million. Capital expenditures for fiscal 1997 were $4.0 million including approximately $2 million for the purchase, in January 1997, of a second facility to expand capacity in the Closures Division in Florida. Anticipated future capital additions should approximate $3 million during fiscal 1998. At June 30, 1997, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $0.3 million and working capital was $2.1 million. In addition, the Company had total long-term debt outstanding of $19.3 million (including current portion), with a weighted average interest rate at June 30, 1997 of 9.5%. In January 1997, the Company refinanced its existing debt with a new lender to provide a total credit facility of $30 million in borrowings secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. The facility provides for borrowings under three separate arrangements -- (i) a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $10 million payable in monthly installments through January 31, 2000, (ii) a second term loan in an aggregate principle amount of $5 million payable in monthly installments beginning January 1, 1998 through January 31, 2000, and (iii) a $15.0 million revolving loan, due January 31, 2000. As of June 30, 1997, outstanding borrowings under the credit facility included $13.7 million under the two term loans and $3.6 million under the revolving credit line. At June 30, 1997 based on the Company's borrowing formula, incremental borrowing availability was approximately $7.6 million under the revolving credit line. The credit facility provides for the issuance of up to $2.0 million of letters of credit, subject to the borrowing availability under the revolving credit line. The loan agreement contains various covenants, including maintaining certain financial ratios and tests, limitations on the issuance of debt and the amount of capital expenditures, capital leases, investments and dividends. The primary financial covenants include quarter end calculations of net worth, working capital and fixed charge coverage and a limitation on annual capital expenditures. The Company's plan to discontinue its Tableware business should not have an overall material impact on liquidity. Certain cash proceeds were received from the sale of its Foodservice Division and there were offsetting cash needs related to severance, relocation and other costs of discontinuing the Consumer Products Division. The majority of costs related to the discontinuation of the tableware business are non-cash. Management believes internally generated funds and proceeds from sale of assets should be adequate to meet future debt repayments and capital expenditure needs. The Company's Mexican subsidiary, included in discontinued operations, is subject to currency risk to the extent its net assets, denominated in pesos, are devalued against the U.S. dollar. 8 10 INFLATION The effect of inflation on operating costs has been minimal in prior years. However, the cost of raw materials used in the Company's operations increased significantly during 1995 and early 1996. These increased raw material costs had a material impact upon the Company's gross margin and earnings during fiscal 1995 and 1996. While some raw materials experienced declines in price in fiscal 1997 helping overall profitability, the overall future impact is not predictable at this time. Currently, the world-wide supply of melamine is not meeting demand causing price increases in the first two quarters of 1998. AUTHORITATIVE PRONOUNCEMENTS The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share," No. 129 "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure," No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." Statements 128 and 129 are required to be adopted in fiscal 1998 and Statements 130 and 131 are required to be adopted in fiscal 1999. Statement 128 requires the disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share, which measures are not expected to differ significantly from the primary and fully diluted earnings per share presently disclosed. Statement 130 will require the Company to report comprehensive income and its components with the same prominence as other financial statements. Statements 129 and 131 are not expected to significantly change the Company's current disclosures. DISCLOSURES REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This report on Form 10-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sun Coast Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

F-6 18 SUN COAST INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995, 1996 AND 1997 NOTE 1 -- THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Sun Coast Industries, Inc. (the "Company") manufactures and sells plastic closures, lids and melamine and urea resins and compounds. The Resins and Compounds Division manufactures melamine and urea resins and compounds, which it supplies to other manufacturers and uses in producing its own consumer products and foodservice products. The Closures Division manufactures linerless, foil or foam lined and tamper-evident plastic closures and lids. These closures are used in the U.S. for bottling and packaging of food, beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical products. The Consumer Products and Foodservice Divisions, which are being discontinued (see Note 2), manufacture compression molded melamine dinnerware and injection molded plastic drinkware and other houseware products, which the Company sells to U.S., Canadian and Mexican retail and commercial markets. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year consolidated financial statement presentation. The preparation of consolidated 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined utilizing the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. See Note 3. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Lives assigned to asset categories are 5 to 15 years for machinery and equipment, 30 to 35 years for buildings and 5 years for molds. Machinery and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments and amortized over 1 to 3 years. Renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. GOODWILL Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net identifiable assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited, ranging from 5-20 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset by determining whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired operation. The amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds. The assessment of the recoverability of goodwill will be impacted if estimated future operating cash flows are not achieved. F-7 19 SUN COAST INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, on July 1, 1996. This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Adoption of the Statement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. ADVERTISING COSTS The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred, except for direct-response advertising and catalog costs which are capitalized and amortized over their expected periods of future benefit (generally six months). Direct response advertising and catalog costs consist primarily of printing and contract services for catalogs to market the Company's products. Advertising expense for fiscal years 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $212,000, $97,000 and $14,000, respectively. INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Income taxes are provided for taxes currently payable based on taxable income (loss). The principal temporary differences are described in Note 7. STOCK OPTION PLAN Prior to July 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its stock option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. On July 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in fiscal 1996 and future years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. See Note 8. ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS A liability for environmental assessments and/or cleanup is accrued when it is probable a loss has been incurred and is estimable. No significant liability exists at June 30, 1997. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year after giving effect to stock options and warrants considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents. The weighted average number of common shares F-8 20 SUN COAST INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) outstanding was 4,076,792 in 1995, 4,005,394 in 1996 and 4,045,713 in 1997. Primary and fully diluted net income (loss) per common share amounts are the same. REVENUE RECOGNITION Sales are recognized when the product is shipped. Sales are shown net of returns and allowances. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development costs associated with new product development, application and testing are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs amounted to $1,086,000, $733,000 and $1,222,000 in fiscal years 1995, 1996 and 1997 respectively. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at June 30, 1996 and 1997 were not significant. Noncash capital lease financing transactions totaled $121,000 in fiscal 1995 and $265,000 in fiscal 1997 and a noncash treasury stock transaction totaled $153,000 in fiscal 1996. Common stock issued in conjunction with debt refinancing was valued at $283,000 in fiscal 1997 (See Note 6). See Note 12 for additional noncash transactions. NOTE 2 -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On December 6, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a formal plan to dispose of its Foodservice and Consumer Products Tableware Divisions including the Company's foreign subsidiary in Mexico and to consider strategic alternatives related to the on-going business. These divisions have been accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, which among other provisions, requires the plan of disposal to be carried out within one year. Management believes this is a reasonable time period for the disposal. In February 1997, the Company sold its Foodservice Division for cash proceeds of $2,104,000 and it has plans underway to exit the Consumer Products Tableware Division, either through sale or termination of operations. Based on management's assumptions used in determining the estimated gain or loss from the disposal of the tableware business, the Company recorded a provision of $4,855,000, net of income taxes, for the loss on disposal of the discontinued business in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. This loss on disposal of discontinued operations resulted from the estimated net loss on the sale of the Foodservice Division and estimated net loss on the exit of the Consumer Products Tableware Division of approximately $3,997,000, net of income taxes, as well as estimated operating losses during the period required to dispose of the divisions of approximately $858,000, net of income taxes. Sales of the divisions for the five months of fiscal 1997 prior to the December 6th Board's decision to discontinue these operations were $7,678,000. Sales for the twelve month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 were $24,532,000 and $21,911,000, respectively. Interest expense allocated to the operating losses of the discontinued operations was calculated as the ratio of the discontinued operations net assets to the sum of consolidated net assets and consolidated debt, multiplied by interest expense for the period. The remaining reserve for loss on disposal is considered adequate at June 30, 1997, to cover estimated future costs of disposal of the Consumer Products Tableware Division. F-9 21 SUN COAST INDUSTRIES, INC.

(26,759) (5,864) -------- --------- $ 2,522 $ 13,455 ======== ========= On January 31, 1997, the Company refinanced its existing debt with a new lender to provide a total credit facility of $30 million in borrowings secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. The facility provides for borrowings under three separate arrangements -- (i) a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $10 million payable in monthly installments through January 31, 2000, (ii) a second term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $5 million payable in monthly installments beginning January 1, 1998 through January 31, 2000, and (iii) a $15.0 million revolving loan, due January 31, 2000. As of June 30, 1997, outstanding borrowings under the credit facility included $13.7 million under the two term loans, and $3.6 million under the revolving credit line. At June 30, 1997, based on the Company's borrowing formula incremental borrowing availability was approximately $7.6 million under the revolving credit line. The credit facility provides for the issuance of up to $2.0 million of letters of credit, subject to the borrowing availability under the revolving credit line. The loan agreement contains various covenants, including maintaining certain financial ratios and tests, limitation on the issuance of debt and the amount of capital expenditures, capital leases, investments and dividends. The primary financial covenants include quarter end calculations of leverage and fixed charge coverage and a limitation on annual capital expenditures. In conjunction with the refinancing, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to the new lender. As the Company is currently in compliance with the loan covenants on its new debt, the Company has classified its outstanding debt as current or long term based upon its scheduled maturity obligations. The industrial development revenue bonds were used to finance the cost of a production and office facility (completed during 1988) and certain machinery in Florida. The bonds bear interest at 78% of prime, are payable in monthly installments of $12,500 through 2011, and are secured by the underlying facility and equipment. The weighted average interest rate on all outstanding debt at June 30, 1997 was 9.5%. The estimated fair value of the Company's debt approximates the carrying value at June 30, 1996 and 1997. Interest paid (net of $206,000 and $53,000 capitalized in 1996 and 1997, respectively) amounted to $1,692,000 in 1995, and $1,801,000 in 1996 and $1,735,000 in 1997. F-11 23 SUN COAST INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Scheduled debt maturities (excluding capital lease obligations) subsequent to June 30, 1997 are as follows: $5,833,000 in 1998, $3,030,000 in 1999, $8,972,000 in 2000, $150,000 in 2001, $150,000 in 2002 and $1,275,000 thereafter.

F-12 24 SUN COAST INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 8 -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY STOCK WARRANTS The Company has outstanding warrants at June 30, 1997 to purchase 115,884 shares of common stock at $12.94 per share which were issued in connection with obtaining financing for the purchase of a subsidiary. The warrants are exercisable through 2002 and contain antidilution provisions which cause both the number of warrants and the exercise price to change as certain events occur. STOCK OPTIONS The 1994 Long Term Incentive Plan provides that officers and key employees may be granted stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance share awards, nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options for the purchase of the Company's common stock. Up to 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued on exercise of options and rights granted under this plan. The type, terms and timing of options granted will be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Directors Formula Stock Option Plan provides for each non-employee director and Chairman to be granted 1,000 options initially and 500 options each fiscal year for purchase of the Company's common stock at the fair market value at the date of grant. No future grants will be made under the Company's previous incentive stock option plans. At June 30, 1997, previously granted options for 134,700 shares remain outstanding under these plans. The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 1996 and 1997 was $3.36 and $2.68 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: 1996 -- expected volatility 59.8%, expected dividend yield of 0.0%, risk-free interest rate of 6.6% and an expected life of 7 years; 1997 -- expected volatility 61.0%, expected dividend yield of 0.0%, risk-free interest rate of 6.5% and an expected life of 7 years. Transactions in stock options under these plans are summarized as follows: SHARES WEIGHTED AVERAGE -------- ---------------- Options outstanding at June 30, 1994...................... 408,800 $10.75 Options granted......................................... 46,000 10.55 Options exercised....................................... (31,315) 8.22 Options terminated......................................

(49,200) 14.66 -------- Options outstanding at June 30, 1997...................... 384,255 $ 7.52 ======== At June 30, 1997, the range of exercise prices and weighted-average remaining contractual life of outstanding options was $3.37-$15.00 and 1.24 years, respectively. At June 30, 1997 and 1996, the number of options exercisable was 189,205 and 194,205, respectively, and the weighted-average exercise price of those options was $8.79 and $10.05, respectively. F-13 25 SUN COAST INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Plan and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per common share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below (dollars in thousands, except per share data): 1996 1997 ------- ------- Net loss............................................ As reported $(1,815) $(3,334) Pro forma (1,825) (3,416) Net loss per common share........................... As reported $ (0.45) $ (0.82) Pro forma (0.45) (0.84) Pro forma net income reflects only options granted in 1996 and 1997. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net loss and loss per common share amounts presented above because compensation cost is reflected over the options' vesting period of 5 years and compensation cost for options granted prior to July 1, 1995 is not considered. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN On June 6, 1995, the Company adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan as amended on December 5, 1995 and, in connection with such plan, declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the Company's $0.01 par value common stock, payable on July 6, 1995 to stockholders of record on that date. Each right entitles the stockholders to buy from the Company one share of common stock at a price of $50.00 per share. The rights will not be exercisable or separable from the common stock until ten business days after a party acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's common stock or announces a tender offer for at least 15% of its outstanding common stock. The Plan excludes James M. Hoak from causing the rights to become exercisable until such time as Mr. Hoak, together with certain affiliated and associated persons, collectively own 20% or more of the Company's common stock. In the event the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction, at any time after a person or group has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more (or, in the case of Mr. Hoak, 20% or more) of the Company's common stock, each right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the right's then current exercise price, that number of acquiring company's common shares having a market value of two times the exercise price of the right. If any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more (or, in the case of Mr. Hoak, 20% or more) of the Company's common stock, each right will entitle its holder (other than such person or any member of such group) to buy a number of additional shares of the Company's common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price of each right. Alternatively, if a person or group has acquired 15% or more (or, in the case of Mr. Hoak, 20% or more) of the Company's common stock, but less than 50% of the common stock, the Company may at its option exchange each right of a holder (other than such person or any member of such group) for one share of common stock. The rights, which are subject to adjustment, may be redeemed by the Company at a price of $0.01 per right at any time prior to expiration on July 6, 2005 or the point at which they become exercisable. The Stockholder Rights Plan is designed to assure that the Company's stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed takeover of the Company and to guard against partial tender offers and other abusive takeover tactics to gain control of the Company without paying all stockholders a fair price.

Benefits under the bargaining unit plan are set by contract with the union at a fixed amount per year of service, which also requires contributions at certain intervals, as stipulated in the union contract.

NOTE 11 -- BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATION The Company frequently bids for large contracts for its products which may result in individual customers accounting for more than 10% of its net sales in a given fiscal year. Sales to a single customer were approximately $12,275,000, $13,882,000 and $14,242,000 for fiscal years 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Sales to a second customer were approximately $9,374,000, $8,114,000 and $10,594,000 in fiscal years 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. No other customers represented more than 10% of the Company's net sales in 1995, 1996 or 1997. The Company had accounts receivable balances from these major customers of approximately $3,655,000 and $4,094,000 as of June 30, 1996, and 1997, respectively. Customers from many geographic locations are granted credit on an unsecured basis. Management believes that sufficient allowances for doubtful accounts have been provided as of June 30, 1996 and 1997. F-16 28 SUN COAST INDUSTRIES, INC.

The Company is responsible for certain expected losses related primarily to workers' compensation. Provisions for losses expected under this program are actuarially determined based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred. Such estimates utilize certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry. The Company is a party to various claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the disposition of these matters will not have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
