Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General
- -------

     Radnor Holdings Corporation, through acquisition and internal development,
has established itself as a leading worldwide manufacturer and distributor of
specialty chemicals and foam packaging and insulation products for the
foodservice, insulation and packaging industries.

     The packaging and insulation business segment manufactures and distributes
foam cup and container products for the foodservice industry as well as a
variety of standard and specialized insulation products. Through its WinCup
Holdings, Inc. ("WinCup") subsidiary, the Company is the second largest producer
in the United States of foam cups and containers for the foodservice industry.
The specialty chemicals business segment primarily manufactures and distributes
expandable polystyrene ("EPS") bead for internal consumption and distribution to
the insulation and packaging industries. Through its Radnor Chemical Corporation
("Radnor Chemical") subsidiary, the Company is the fifth largest worldwide
producer of EPS.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     In January 1999, the EPS production operations located in Minton, Texas
were transferred from the Company's Radnor Chemical subsidiary to its WinCup
subsidiary. This facility manufactures a substantial portion of the EPS utilized
by the Company's domestic food packaging operations with the remainder purchased
from Radnor Chemical's Canadian EPS manufacturing facility. The Company's
results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 26, 1998
have been restated to reflect the impact of this transaction for purposes of
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.

</TABLE>

     Net sales for the three months ended June 25, 1999 were $81.0 million, a
decline of $3.1 million from the three months ended June 26, 1998. This decline
was caused by reductions in selling prices in the specialty chemicals segment,
partially offset by growth in the packaging and insulation segment.  Gross
profits decreased to 28.6% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1999
from 30.0% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.  This decrease was
caused by increased depreciation expense of $0.6 million and the impact of the
reduced specialty chemical selling prices, partially offset by improved
manufacturing efficiencies and lower raw material costs.   Operating expenses
for the three months ended June 25, 1999 increased to $16.8 million from $15.8
million for the same period in 1998 primarily as a result of increased
depreciation and amortization.

     Net sales for the six months ended June 25, 1999 were $148.7 million.  This
$7.2 million or 4.6% decrease from the same period in the prior year was caused
by reduced specialty chemical selling prices, partially offset by growth in the
packaging and insulation segment.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales

                                       9
<PAGE>

decreased to 28.0% for the six months ended June 25, 1999 from 28.4% for the six
months ended June 26, 1998.  This decrease was caused by increased depreciation
expense of $1.2 million and the impact of reduced specialty chemicals prices,
partially offset by improved manufacturing efficiencies and lower raw material
costs.  Operating expenses for the six months ended June 25, 1999 increased $2.5
million over the same period in 1998 primarily as a result of a $1.0 million
increase in depreciation and amortization combined with increased costs in the
administrative operations.

     Net sales in the packaging and insulation business segment increased by
$0.4 million to $59.3 million for the three months ended June 25, 1999 primarily
due to volume growth. Gross profit increased to 30.9% of net sales for the three
months ended June 25, 1999 from 30.6% of net sales for the same period in 1998
as a result of improved manufacturing efficiencies and higher production levels.
Operating expenses increased marginally to $10.8 million for the three months
ended June 25, 1999 from $10.6 million for the same period in 1998 primarily due
to higher distribution costs. Income from operations for the three months ended
June 25, 1999 increased by $0.1 million or 1.4% over the same period in 1998 as
a result of the reasons described above.

     Net sales for the six months ended June 25, 1999 were $109.3 million. This
$2.3 million or 2.1% increase over the six months ended June 26, 1998 was
primarily due to volume growth. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
increased to 31.0% for the six months ended June 25, 1999 from 29.6% for the
same period in 1998. This increase was primarily caused by improved
manufacturing efficiencies and higher production levels. Operating expenses
increased by $0.4 million to $20.1 million for the six months ended June 25,
1999 due to higher selling and administrative costs. Income from operations for
the six months ended June 25, 1999 increased by $1.8 million or 15.0% over the
same period in 1998 as a result of the reasons described above.

     Net sales for the three months ended June 25, 1999 and June 26, 1998
included sales to the packaging and insulation segment of $7.5 million and $7.1
million, respectively. Net sales for the six months ended

<PAGE>

June 25, 1999 and June 26, 1998 included sales to the packaging and insulation
segment of $11.2 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

     Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased to $28.7 million
from $32.2 million for the same period in 1998.  This $3.5 million decrease was
primarily due to reduced selling prices in both the North American and European
specialty chemicals businesses.  These price reductions were the combined result
of lower underlying raw material prices and excess supply in the EPS market
caused by increased competition from Asian producers.  Gross profit decreased to
15.0% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 from 22.0% of net sales
for the same period in 1998. This decrease was caused by the reduction in
selling prices described above, partially offset by lower raw material costs
and increased manufacturing efficiencies. Operating expenses increased $0.2
million to $4.3 million for the three months ended June 25, 1999 as a result of
higher distribution and administrative costs in the European specialty chemicals
business.

     Net sales in the specialty chemicals business segment decreased by $9.1
million to $49.8 million for the six months ended June 25, 1999.  This decrease
was primarily due to reduced selling prices in the North American and European
specialty chemicals businesses resulting from lower underlying raw material
prices and excess supply in the EPS market.  Gross profit decreased to 13.1% of
net sales for the six months ended June 25, 1999 as compared to 21.9% of net
sales for the same period in 1998.  This decrease was caused by the
reduction in selling prices described above, partially offset by lower raw
material costs and increased manufacturing efficiencies. Operating expenses
increased $0.4 million to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 25, 1999
due to increased distribution and administrative costs in the European specialty
chemicals business, partially offset by lower administrative costs in the North
American specialty chemicals business.



Corporate & Other

     For the three month and six month periods ended June 25, 1999, corporate
operating expenses increased by $0.7 million and $1.7 million to $1.7 million
and $3.8 million, respectively, from the same periods in 1998.  These increases
were primarily due to increased depreciation, amortization and administrative
expenses.

</TABLE>

     Interest expense for the three months and six months ended June 25, 1999
increased by $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, over the same periods
in 1998.  These increases were primarily due to increased borrowings related to
the purchase of the Company's Atlanta, Georgia and Tolleson, Arizona packaging
plants in June 1998 and March 1999, respectively. In addition, amortization of
deferred financing fees and debt issuance premium increased by $0.1 million for
the three months ended June 25, 1999 and by $0.2 million for the six months
ended June 25, 1999.

     The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 25, 1999 decreased
to 36.5% of pre-tax income from 37.9% of pre-tax income for the same period in
1998. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 25, 1999 and June
26, 1998 were 37.7% and 37.9% of pre-tax income, respectively. As of June 25,
1999 the Company had approximately $28.5 million of net operating loss
carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, which expire through 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     During the six months ended June 25, 1999 and June 26, 1998, the Company's
principal source of funds consisted of cash from financing activities. During
the 1999 period, after tax cash flow of $7.3 million and borrowings on bank
financed debt of $12.0 million were primarily used to fund capital expenditures
of $10.3 million and a $7.6 million increase in working capital.

     As of June 25, 1999, the Company had $28.0 million outstanding and $7.2
million of availability under its revolving credit agreements.  The Company's
principal uses of cash for the next several years will be working capital
requirements and capital expenditures.

  As a holding company, Radnor Holdings Corporation is dependent upon dividends
and other payments from its subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet
its obligations.  Subject to certain limitations under applicable state law and
the Company's credit agreements, Radnor Holdings Corporation is, and will
continue to be, able to control its receipt of dividends and other payments from
its subsidiaries. Management believes that cash generated from operations,
together with available borrowings under the revolving credit facilities, will
be sufficient to meet the Company's expected operating needs, planned capital
expenditures and debt service requirements.

Other Financial Data
- --------------------

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

     Many existing computer hardware and software systems use only the last two
digits to identify a year.  As a result, many systems do not yet recognize the
difference between years beginning with "20" instead of "19".  This, as well as
other date related processing issues, may cause systems to fail or malfunction
unless corrected.

     The Company's current Year 2000 assessment is that some of its data
processing systems are generally not compliant. Some of these systems can easily
be updated or modified to be compliant, but several of the Company's systems
cannot be updated because of software or hardware limitations. The Company has
begun the process of replacing these systems with Year 2000 compliant data
processing systems. As of June 25, 1999, the Company had incurred approximately
$150,000 in costs to upgrade or replace its noncompliant systems, including
internal costs for personnel, training, supplies, travel and equipment. The
total cost to upgrade or replace the Company's noncompliant systems is not
expected to exceed $400,000 and is expected to be funded through operations. The
Company has assessed its non-information technology systems and does not believe
that any Year 2000 noncompliance with respect to these systems will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, cash
flows or results of operations.

                                       12
<PAGE>

     In the event that any of the Company's operations remain Year 2000
noncompliant near the end of 1999, the Company plans to transfer the accounting
and information processing of those operations to the Company's systems that are
Year 2000 compliant.  The Company estimates that the overall risk to its
operations as a result of noncompliance with Year 2000 for its existing systems
in a most likely worst case scenario is less than $250,000.  There can be no
assurance, however, that this estimate represents the Company's maximum Year
2000 exposure.

     The ability of third parties with which the Company transacts business to
adequately address their Year 2000 issues is outside of the Company's control.
The Company has taken steps to obtain written confirmations that the systems of
its suppliers and customers are Year 2000 compliant and to determine whether the
nature of any noncompliance would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
The Company has completed its confirmation process and is currently evaluating
responses from suppliers and customers. Contingency plans will be developed, as
necessary, based upon the results of the evaluation of these confirmations.

     Even assuming that all material third parties confirm that they are or
expect to be Year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999, it is not possible to
state with certainty that such parties will be so compliant, or that the
operations of such third parties will not be materially impacted by other
parties with whom they themselves have a material relationship, and who fail to
timely become Year 2000 compliant. Consequently, it is not possible to predict
whether or to what extent the Year 2000 issues may have an adverse material
impact on the Company as a result of their impact on the operations of third
parties with whom the Company has a material relationship.

     There can be no assurance that the failure of the Company or such third
parties to adequately address their respective Year 2000 issues will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, cash
flows or results of operations.

Financial Instruments

     There has been no material change in the net financial instrument position
or sensitivity to market risk since the disclosure in the annual report.
