The accounting policies followed by the Registrant are set forth in Note 1 of its financial statements in the 1996 Scope Industries Annual Report which is incorporated by reference on Form 10-K. 2.

Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) Before Provision Cost For Income Taxes Fair Value ---- ---------------- ---------- At December 31, 1996: Investments held to maturity $ 633,426 $ (19,338) $ 614,088 Investments available for sale 11,170,815 7,933,780 19,104,595 At June 30, 1996: Investments held to maturity $ 633,426 $ (29,826) $ 603,600 Investments available for sale 11,749,436 17,898,007 29,647,443 -7- 8 SCOPE INDUSTRIES AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the second quarter ended December 31, 1996 was $4,928,086 or $4.11 per share compared to $886,017 or $0.72 per share for the same quarter last year. Total operating revenues for the second quarter were 6.4% less than the revenues for the same quarter last year. Waste Material Recycling segment sales for the current quarter fell 8.6% from last year's second quarter revenues. Both unit selling prices and total tonnage were below those in last year's second quarter. Operating costs for the Waste Material Recycling segment increased 3.8% compared to the same quarter last year. The segment's lower sales revenues and higher costs caused current quarter margins to shrink compared to both the previous quarter and the comparable quarter last year. Operations for the quarter were profitable in the Waste Material Recycling segment and the Vocational School Group segment. Investment and other income for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 was $6,565,307 compared to $169,205 for the same three months last year. The investment income included gains of $5,983,020 from sales of investments during the current period compared to losses of $139,695 from investment sales in the prior year's second quarter. For the six months ended December 31, 1996, net income was $14,185,854 or $11.83 per share. Last year net income was $1,972,390 or $1.59 per share for the comparable six months. Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1996 were 16.9% above revenues for the comparable six months last year. The increased revenue in the current six month period is a result of higher product prices in this year's first quarter. Corn prices were sharply higher during the first quarter of this year and the Company's Dried Bakery Product sold at higher prices as a direct result. Corn prices fell sharply in the second quarter. The Company's second quarter revenues reflected the corn price drop and were below last year as commented on in the opening paragraph of this discussion. The Waste Material Recycling segment and the Vocational School Group segment operated profitably during the current and the previous year's six months periods ending December 31. Investment and other income for the six months ended December 31, 1996 was $16,471,217. It was $904,833 for the comparable six months last year. Gains on investments sold were $15,418,655 for the current six months and were $342,652 in the comparable period last year. -8- 9 SCOPE INDUSTRIES AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) FINANCIAL POSITION Working Capital was $21,190,907 at December 31, 1996. It was $8,285,580 at June 30, 1996. The working capital ratio at December 31, 1996 was 3.9 and at June 30, 1996 was 2.8. During the six months ended December 31, 1996, the Company sold investment securities whose aggregate proceeds totaled $21,650,617. The securities disposed of had been held for periods ranging from one to fourteen years with a majority having been held over ten years. The sales of investments and the resulting gain recognition for the six month period resulted in a decrease in the unrealized gain on investments available for sale. Unrealized investment gain on investments available for sale, net of deferred income taxes, was $6,458,779 at December 31, 1996 and was $14,368,007 at June 30, 1996. Investments are accounted for under Statement of Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115) "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". At December 31, 1996, investments include $7,933,780 in unrealized gains based on fair values that exceed adjusted costs for investments available for sale. Shareowners' equity under the provisions of SFAS 115 reflects $6,458,779 net unrealized gain on investments after a provision for deferred taxes. In accordance with SFAS 115, the unrealized holding gains are excluded from earnings. TAXES The provision for income taxes for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 is $6,090,000 and represents an effective rate of 30.0% for federal and state income taxes. Valuation reserves have been eliminated for those deferred tax assets that can be realized on certain investment gains being recognized during the period. Recognizing the deferred tax benefit during the period reduces the provision for income taxes to an effective rate that is lower than the statuary federal income tax rate. For the first six months of the prior fiscal year, the income tax provision was $980,000 and the effective tax rate was 33.2%. -9- 10 SCOPE INDUSTRIES AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II.
