The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Summa Industries (the "Company") have been condensed in certain respects and should, therefor, be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2001. 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 nine months ended May 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending August 31, 2002.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 ("SFAS 141") "Business Combinations" and No. 142 ("SFAS 142") "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These statements eliminate the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations as of June 30, 2001 and eliminate the amortization of goodwill for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Goodwill will be accounted for under an impairment-only method after this date. The Company has adopted SFAS 141 and SFAS 142, with respect to new goodwill, as of July 1, 2001 and anticipates adopting SFAS 142 with respect to existing goodwill as of September 1, 2002, the first day of its 2003 fiscal year. The adoption of SFAS 141 has not impacted the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In accordance with SFAS 142, existing goodwill as of July 1, 2001 will continue to be amortized through the remainder of fiscal 2002 at which time amortization will cease and the Company will perform a transitional goodwill impairment test. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting SFAS 142 with respect to existing goodwill. Total goodwill amortization was $278,000 and $277,000 for the quarters ended May 31, 2001 and May 31, 2002, respectively, and was $772,000 and $833,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2001 and May 31, 2002, respectively.

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 143 ("SFAS 143") "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS 143 is to be adopted for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 143 in fiscal 2003. The Company is currently reviewing the requirements of SFAS 143 and has not yet determined its impact, if any, on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS 144") "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 is to be adopted for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 144 in fiscal year 2003. The Company is currently reviewing the requirements of SFAS 144 and has not yet determined its impact, if any, on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145 ("SFAS 145") "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" which requires that the extinguishment of debt not be considered an extraordinary item under APB Opinion No. 30 ("APB 30") "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" unless the debt extinguishment meets the unusual in

nature and infrequency of occurrence criteria in APB 30. SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 and upon adoption, companies must reclassify prior period items that do not meet the extraordinary item classification criteria in APB 30. The adoption of SFAS 145 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operation.

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") was computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The Company has 5,000 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding with an original issue price of $5,000,000. No dividends are required to be paid on the stock, but the preferred stockholders have the right, provided the preferred stock has not been converted to common shares, to require the Company to repurchase the stock during a one year period beginning December 14, 2004 at an aggregate price which increases daily from $7,025,000 on December 14, 2004 to $7,868,000 on December 13, 2005. The net income available to common stockholders used in the EPS calculations is the reported net income less the accretion in the value of the preferred stock.

Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted EPS was calculated using the "treasury stock" method as if dilutive options had been exercised and the funds were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Options to purchase 558,776 common shares as of May 31, 2001 and 428,376 common shares as of May 31, 2002 were excluded from the calculation of equivalent shares, as they would have been anti-dilutive. The 5,000 shares of outstanding preferred stock, convertible into 625,000 shares of common stock, were excluded from the calculation of equivalent shares, as they would have been anti-dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for "income available to common stockholders" and other disclosures required by Statement of Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share":

On October 5, 2000, Summa acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Plastic Specialties, Inc. ("PSI"). The aggregate purchase price paid for PSI consisted of $6,287,000 in cash, $4,873,000 in assumed debt concurrently paid, liabilities assumed or incurred of $2,191,000 and acquisition costs of $50,000. 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 value of net acquired assets was $2,676,000 and has been recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 35 years.

On December 1, 2000, Summa acquired substantially all of the assets of the Ram Belts & Chains division ("Ram") of Rainbow Industrial Products Corp. The aggregate purchase price paid for Ram consisted of $5,825,000 in cash, an unsecured note adjusted to $565,000, liabilities assumed or incurred of $483,000 and acquisition costs of $25,000. 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 value of net acquired assets was $3,633,000 and has been recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years.

On January 4, 2002, Summa acquired substantially all of the assets of the Genesta Manufacturing division ("Genesta") of Pavaco Plastics, Inc. Genesta manufactures extruded sheet and profiles and thermoformed components for the lighting and other industries. The primary reasons for the acquisition are that the acquisition of Genesta increases the Company's North American market share, provides entrée to new markets, provides a low cost manufacturing location and provides other manufacturing cost and sales and distribution synergies. The aggregate purchase price paid for the assets consisted of $2,685,000 in cash, an unsecured note for $627,000, 40,000 shares of the Company's unregistered common stock valued at $530,000, preliminary liabilities assumed or incurred of $1,391,000 and acquisition costs of $50,000. The note is subject to a one-time adjustment based on working capital. The value assigned to the shares of common stock is the amount for which the seller may require the Company to repurchase the shares for a 90 day period commencing July 4, 2003. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed or incurred based upon their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net acquired assets was $2,410,000, which has been recorded as goodwill.

The results of operations of each of the above described acquisitions have been included in the consolidated results of operations and statements of cash flows of the Company since the date of acquisition. The following pro forma financial information presents the results of operations of the Company as though the acquisitions had been made as of September 1, 2000. Pro forma adjustments have been made to give effect to the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles, 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 accretion in the value of preferred stock issued to finance the Genesta acquisition.

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 had been effective at the beginning of the periods presented or the results which may be achieved in the future.

As part of its interest rate management program, the Company periodically enters into interest rate swap agreements with respect to portions of its outstanding debt. The purpose of these swaps is to mitigate the adverse effect on cash flows of an increase in interest rates. The interest rate swap agreements in place at May 31, 2002 effectively convert $1,328,000 of the Company's variable rate debt to a weighted average fixed rate of 9.3%. The swap agreements expire in September 2002.

The reconciliation of net income to total comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ending May 31, 2001 and 2002 was as follows:

		August 31, 2001		May 31, 2002
Identifiable assets

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including but not limited to statements regarding Summa's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, such as those set forth in Part II, Item 1 "Legal Proceedings" below. 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, 2001. 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 and thermo-formed 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; 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. See "Risk Factors" in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001.

The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions in applying certain critical accounting policies. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimates could differ markedly from current expectations. The Company believes that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of its accounting policies that affect the Company's financial statements.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles 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 the undiscounted future operating 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 exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

The Company has a significant amount of property and equipment and intangible assets. The determination as to whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable involves management's judgment. In addition, should the Company conclude that recoverability of an asset is in question, the estimate of undiscounted future operating cash flows to determine whether an asset is recoverable and, if not, the final determination of the fair value of the asset are also based on the judgment of management. These judgments can be impacted by a variety of underlying assumptions, such as the general business climate, effectiveness of competition and supply and cost of resources. Accordingly, actual results can differ significantly from the assumptions made by management in making its estimates. Future changes in management's estimates could result in indicators of impairment and future impairment charges.

New accounting standards to be adopted by the Company effective September 1, 2002 eliminate the impairment recoverability tests for goodwill and certain other intangible assets with indefinite lives and require that such assets be valued at the lower of their carrying value or fair value. Significant management judgment is involved in determining the fair value of assets. Accordingly, future changes in management's estimates could result in impairment charges of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets.

The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Accordingly, the Company records adjustments to the value of inventory based upon obsolescence and changes in market value. The Company has evaluated the current level of inventories considering planned sales volume and other factors and, based on this evaluation, has recorded adjustments to cost of goods sold for estimated decreases in value. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual requirements if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations.

The following table sets forth certain information, derived from Summa's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income, as a percent of sales for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2001 and May 31, 2002, and the Company's effective income tax rate during those periods:

	Three months ended May 31				Nine months ended May 31
	2001		2002		2001		2002
Net sales	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

Net income	4.0	%	4.0	%	3.3	%	2.6	%

Effective tax rate	32.7	%	34.4	%	33.5	%	34.9	%

Sales for the third quarter, ended May 31, 2002, decreased $338,000, or 1%, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to a decrease in sales of previously owned businesses of $2,776,000, partially offset by the inclusion of $2,438,000 in sales of newly acquired operations. Due to the general business downturn and the discontinuation of some commodity products, same business sales in the third quarter were down 4% in the Engineered Polymer Components segment, 17% in the Extruded Plastic Products segment, and down 5% overall, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2001. Of the 5% sales decline, approximately 3% was a result of lost business due to the discontinuation of some commodity products and manufacturing services, primarily in the Extruded Plastic Products segment.

Sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2002 decreased $12,004,000, or 12%, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to a decrease in sales of previously owned businesses of $15,949,000, partially offset by the inclusion of $3,945,000 in sales of newly acquired operations. Due to the general business downturn and the discontinuation of some commodity products, same business sales in the period were down 12% in the Engineered Polymer Components segment, 41% in the Extruded Plastic

Products segment, and down 16% overall, compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2001. Of the 16% sales decline, approximately 5% was a result of lost business due to the discontinuation of and price increases on some commodity products and manufacturing services, primarily in the Extruded Plastic Products segment.

Gross profit for the third quarter decreased $193,000, or 2%, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the effects of sales decreases in previously owned operations, partially offset by the effects of recently acquired businesses. As a percent of sales, gross profit decreased slightly from 26.8% to 26.5%.

Gross profit for the nine months ended May 31, 2002 decreased $3,030,000, or 12%, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the effects of sales decreases in previously owned operations and increased costs and inefficiencies related to the discontinuation of services of a key vendor in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2002, partially offset by the effects of acquisitions. As a percent of sales, gross profit increased slightly from 25.9% to 26.0%.

Operating expenses for the third quarter ended May 31, 2002 increased $180,000, or 3%, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the inclusion of the operating expenses of recently acquired operations and non-recurring plant closure expenses, partially offset by decreases in operating expenses of previously owned operations. As a percent of sales, operating expenses increased from 17.8% to 18.6%, primarily as a result of decreased sales levels, plant closure expenses and the blending of newly acquired operations with historically higher operating expenses. Operating margin decreased from 9.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 to 7.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 as a result of the changes in gross profit and operating expenses discussed above.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 2002 decreased $674,000, or 4%, from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to decreases in operating expenses of previously owned operations, partially offset by the inclusion of operating expenses of recently acquired operations. As a percent of sales, operating expenses increased from 17.9% to 19.7%, primarily as a result of decreased sales levels and the blending of newly acquired operations with historically higher operating expenses. Operating margin decreased from 8.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2001 to 6.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 as a result of the changes in gross profit and operating expenses discussed above.

Net interest expense for the quarter ended May 31, 2002 decreased $436,000 from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to decreased debt levels and lower average interest rates.

Net interest expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2002 decreased $1,011,000 from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to decreased debt levels and lower average interest rates.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 increased to 34.4% from 32.7% in the comparable prior year period, due to a change in the distribution of earnings among various tax jurisdictions.

The effective tax rate in the nine months ended May 31, 2002 increased to 34.9% from 33.5% in the comparable prior year period due to a change in the distribution of earnings among various tax jurisdictions.

The Company's backlog of unfilled orders, believed to be firm, increased from $7,982,000 at August 31, 2001 to $10,607,000 at May 31, 2002 due to an increase in new orders and the inclusion of backlog of recently acquired operations. 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.

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:

		Three months ended May 31				Nine months ended May 31
		2001		2002		2001		2002
Net sales
	Engineered polymer components	87.2	%	86.6	%	84.8	%	88.2	%
	Extruded plastic products	12.8	%	13.4	%	15.2	%	11.8	%

	Consolidated	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

Operating income (loss)
	Engineered polymer components	124.7	%	106.0	%	129.2	%	117.4	%
	Extruded plastic products	(12.8	)%	12.5	%	(14.9	)%	2.1	%
	All other	(11.9	)%	(18.5	)%	(14.3	)%	(19.5	)%

	Consolidated	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

	Three months ended May 31				Nine months ended May 31
	2001		2002		2001		2002
Engineered polymer components	12.0	%	9.7	%	12.0	%	8.4	%
Extruded plastic products	(11.1	)%	7.4	%	8.5	%	1.5	%
Consolidated	7.9	%	7.9	%	7.7	%	6.3	%

The decrease in the operating profit of the Engineered Polymer Components segment for the quarter and nine month period is primarily due to the effects of decreased sales in previously owned operations partially offset by the contribution of newly acquired operations and non-recurring plant consolidation expenses incurred in the prior year periods.

The improvement in the operating results of the Extruded Plastic Products segment for the quarter and nine month period is primarily due to the effects of the elimination of unprofitable commodity sales, non-recurring plant consolidation expenses incurred in the prior year periods, and due to the inclusion of the results of recently acquired operations.

Regarding segment assets, the increase in assets in the Engineered Polymer Components segment is due primarily to the inclusion of the assets of recently acquired operations partially offset by a decrease in the assets of the previously owned operations. The increase in assets in the Extruded Plastic Products segment is due to the inclusion of the assets of recently acquired operations. See footnotes 5 and 7 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Working Capital. The Company's working capital at May 31, 2002 was $17,726,000, compared to $14,539,000 at August 31, 2001. The increase was primarily associated with the reduction in debt with short-term maturities and the inclusion of the assets and liabilities of recently acquired operations.

Financing Arrangements. The Company has several debt relationships as described below. Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged to secure debt. The Company is in compliance with the financial and operating covenants required by the term debt and bank line of credit.

Interest rates on most of the bank term loans are fixed for periods of four months to four years. Interest rates on the bank line of credit are generally based on LIBOR, are subject to market fluctuation and are subject to reduction as the Company achieves certain financial milestones. Interest rates on most of the real estate and other loans are based on LIBOR or other floating rates subject to market fluctuation.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 was $5,790,000, $4,340,000 less than in the first nine months of fiscal 2001, due to lower net income and changes in components of working capital.

Cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 was $5,032,000 versus $17,313,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2001, primarily due to a larger acquisition financed in fiscal 2001 (see Note 5) compared to a smaller acquisition made in fiscal 2002.

Cash used in financing activities was $955,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 versus $7,610,000 provided by financing activities in fiscal 2001, primarily due to a larger acquisition financed in fiscal 2001 (see Note 5).

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 4,428,211 shares were outstanding at May 31, 2002 and 5,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock authorized, of which 5,000 shares were outstanding at May 31, 2002. The Company could issue additional shares of common or preferred stock or enter into new or revised borrowing arrangements to raise funds.

Except for the outstanding debt and related variable interest rates set forth in "Managements' Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources" above, there are no material changes to the disclosure set forth in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001.

The Company encounters lawsuits from time to time in the ordinary course of business and, at May 31, 2002, the Company or its affiliates were parties to several civil lawsuits. Any losses that the Company may suffer from current or future lawsuits, and the effect such litigation may have upon the reputation and marketability of the Company's products, could have a material adverse impact on the results of future operations, the financial condition and prospects of the Company.

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 results of operations and financial position.

Form 8-K dated May 20, 2002 relating to the dismissal of Arthur Andersen LLP and the retention of KPMG LLP as the Company's independent public accountants.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized on July 10, 2002.
