Company
Description:      Overview

      Applied Tech Products (ATP) is a leveraged build-up initiated by
the principals of Harvey & Company, CEO and Co-founder Raymond Langton
and private equity fund Saunders Karp & Mergue ("SKM") LP. SKM has
committed $100 million of equity to finance the formation and build-up
of ATP. The goal of ATP is to assemble a highly profitable $500
million specialty rubber and plastic components manufacturing business
through the acquisition of businesses within targeted end use markets
and process capabilities.

Industry & Strategy

      ATP targets acquisitions of middle-market companies with broad
process and product capabilities that supply customers in attractive,
profitable, end-use markets. The Company's strategy is to leverage its
relationship with customers who are increasingly demanding fewer, more
capable suppliers. ATP intends to capitalize on the extensive
manufacturing capabilities of acquired companies and to position them
for further growth through expanded capabilities, national sales and
marketing efforts, and cross selling within the acquired companies.

Investment Objectives

      -   Build a highly profitable $500 million rubber and plastic
        components manufacturing business

      -   Invest $100 million in equity capital to properly finance
        acquisitions and internal growth

      -   Continue to develop a growth company track record: -
        Consistent growth from existing businesses - Addition of
        accretive acquisitions

      -   Create a balanced portfolio of businesses

      ATP serves the medical, telecom, electronic, consumer, industrial,
automotive and health and beauty care markets and has aggregate pro
forma sales in excess of $200 million for the year 2000.
