Given a properly embedded incompressible surface F in a Haken manifold M, there is an integer n depending only on M and F with the following property: If there is a singular annulus in M that meets F in more then n nontrivial loops that are not freely homotopic on F then M contains an essential torus or annulus, or M is a bundle with fiber F, or M is a doubled twisted I-bundle with doubling surface F.
