 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements as of September 30, 1995 and for six and 
three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 are unaudited; 
however, the March 31, 1995 balance sheet was derived from audited 
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, such 
financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of 
normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation.  
The results of operations for the six and three months ended 
September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be 
expected for the entire year.  Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  These financial

   4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   In conjunction with the sale of real estate owned by a former subsidiary,
   the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy (D.E.P.E.)
   issued an Administrative Consent Order (A.C.O.) to the Company under the
   Environmental Clean-up Responsibility Act (E.C.R.A.).  According to
   E.C.R.A., property title cannot pass to a new owner until the D.E.P.E. is
   satisfied that the property meets defined environmental standards or an
   A.C.O. has been issued.

   Inspections have shown that the site contains contaminates which must be
   removed.  Accordingly, a remediation plan was prepared and approved by the
   D.E.P.E.  The Company has provided accruals of $1,400,000 for the total
   estimated costs related to cleanup activities, of which $1,118,294 has been
   paid as of September 30, 1995. Recent sampling results indicate that the
   Company's groundwater remediation program is working effectively to reduce
   the level of groundwater contamination.  It is difficult to estimate, with
   a high level of confidence, the total costs which may be incurred in
   cleaning this site.  Expenses in excess of what the Company has recorded
   could be incurred due to the inherent uncertainty surrounding the extent of
   contamination, the complexity of governmental regulations and their
   interpretations and the varying costs and effectiveness of cleanup
   technologies.  The Company believes, however, that its reserve is 
   sufficient to satisfy current D.E.P.E. requirements.

5. POTENTIAL ACQUISITION

   On August 14, 1995, the Company announced it had agreed with ICO, Inc. on
   the principal terms of the acquisition of the Company by ICO, Inc. by means
   of a merger.  If the transaction is consummated as contemplated, the
   Company's shareholders will receive $5.71 in cash and 1.8 shares of ICO,
   Inc. common stock for each share of the Company's common stock held.  After
   completion of definitive documentation, the Board of Directors of both
   companies are expected to meet in the near future to consider the proposed
   merger.  The merger will also be subject to approval of each company's
   shareholders, satisfaction of certain regulatory requirements and other
   conditions customary in transactions of this nature.  ICO, Inc., based in
   Houston, Texas, serves the energy industry by testing, inspecting,
   reconditioning and coating sucker rods and OCTG, basic tools utilized in
   exploration and production for oil and natural gas.  For its most recent
   fiscal year, which ended September 30, 1995, ICO, Inc. reported net 
   revenues of $88.9 million, income before federal taxes of $6.4 million 
   and net income of $5.8 million.

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

Results of Operations

Wedco reported an 9.0% and 2.8% increase in net revenues for the six and
three-month periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively, when compared 
to the same periods in 1994.  Operating income decreased by 29.2% and 35.2% 
during these same periods, respectively.  The cyclical downturn in the 
worldwide plastics industry experienced during the current fiscal year, 
resulted in declines in the utilization of machinery and equipment and 
the absorption of certain overhead costs in several of the Company's 
facilities.  Furthermore, a portion of the increase in revenues reported 
during the current six-month period is attributed to an increase in
compounding services rendered by the Company's Dutch subsidiary.  Such 
compounding revenues yield lower margins than traditional processing 
services.  Income from the Company's equity in joint ventures decreased 
by 125.2% and 164.3% during the current six and the three-month periods, 
respectively, primarily as a result of a decline in earnings experienced
by the Company's Canadian joint venture.  Interest expense increased 9.7% and
7.3% during the current six and three-month periods, respectively, when 
compared to the same periods of 1994.  Other expenses also increased by 
approximately $297,000 during the six and three-month periods ended 
September 30, 1995, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, 
due to the Company incurring certain expenses associated with the potential 
acquisition of the Company. The decreases in operating income and joint 
venture earnings, coupled with an increase in other expenses, resulted 
in a 64.1% and 94.6% decline in net income for the six and three-month 
periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively, when compared to the 
same periods of the prior fiscal year.

Net Revenues and Operating Income

The components of the increases in net revenues, as noted above, 
were as follows:

</TABLE>    

    During the six months ended September 30, 1995, the Company processed
approximately 193 million pounds of material as compared to approximately 210
million pounds in the same period of the prior fiscal year.  This decrease in
volume is reflective of the downturn in the plastics industry experienced 
during the current six-month period when compared to the same period in 1994, 
as well as an increase in competition in the United States.  On a consolidated 
basis, as a percentage of net revenues, operating expenses, excluding general 
corporate expenses, were 82.9% and 76.2% for the six months ended 
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The same percentages for the 
three-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were 83.4% and 76.8%, 
respectively.  Operating margins have declined in the current six and
three-month periods as a result of the underutilization of machinery and
equipment, increased labor costs in certain domestic locations and the
increase in lower margin compounding revenues experienced in Europe.  As a
percentage of net revenues, general corporate expenses, excluding costs
associated with the potential acquisition of the Company, remained unchanged at
6.8% and 7.8% during the six and three-month periods ended September 30, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

Other Income (Expense)

Income from the Company's investment in joint ventures decreased by 125.2% and
164.3% during the current six and three-month periods, respectively, when
compared to the same periods of the prior year.  Both of the Company's joint
ventures reported a decline in earnings during the current six and three-month
periods.  In France, Micronyl-Wedco S.A.'s earnings have been affected by the
current decline in the plastics industry, resulting in a decrease in the 
volume of materials processed during the current periods.  In Canada, WedTech 
Inc.'s earnings continue to be negatively impacted by ongoing costs associated 
with its sales, marketing and administrative office in Toronto, Canada and 
repetitive monthly losses associated with its research and production facility 
in Dewey, Oklahoma.  Furthermore, the current market for grinding and 
compounding services in Canada has become increasingly more competitive.  
As such, these revenues are yielding lower margins than in prior periods.  The 
impact of all of the above, coupled with increased interest expense related 
to financing these activities, was a 230.7% decline in WedTech Inc.'s earnings 
during the current six-month period.  Under the equity method of accounting, 
net revenues of the joint ventures are not included in the consolidated net 
revenues of the Company. 

As a result of the increase in the U.S. prime lending rate and increased foreign
borrowings related to capital expenditures, interest expense increased by
approximately $65,000 and $25,000 during the six and three-month periods ended
September 30, 1995, as compared to the same periods in 1994.

Other expenses increased by approximately $297,000 during the six and
three-month periods ended September 30, 1995 when compared to the same periods
of the previous fiscal year.  This increase reflects the cost of professional
services incurred by the Company in connection with the potential acquisition
of the Company.  It is anticipated that during the Company's third quarter of
fiscal 1996, additional costs will be incurred and expensed in relation to this
potential transaction.
<PAGE>
Income Taxes

As a result of the 58.7% and 80.2% decline in pre-tax income experienced during
the six and three-month periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively, as
compared to the same periods in 1994, the Company's consolidated income tax
provision declined by 48.5% and 55.5% during these same periods, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate, expressed as a percentage of pre-tax income,
was 43.4% and 82.8% during the six and three-month periods ended September 30,
1995, respectively, as compared to 34.9% and 36.8% during the same periods of
the prior fiscal year, respectively.  The increase in the Company's effective
tax rate during the current six and three-month periods reflects the utilization
of tax-loss carryforwards by the Company's U.K. subsidiary during the same
periods of the prior fiscal year, as well as the effect of federal and state
regulations which prohibit the Company from treating the costs associated with
the potential acquisition of the Company as deductible expenses for income tax
purposes.


Foreign Currency Translation

The fluctuation of the dollar against the Dutch guilder and the British pound
have impacted the translation of revenues and income of Wedco Europe B.V. into
U.S. dollars for the six and three-month periods ended September 30, 1995, as
compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year.  The increases due to
this translation impact, in certain amounts shown on the Consolidated Statements
of Income, are as follows:

<TABLE>

<CAPTION>

                         Six Months         Three Months

  Net revenues         $ 1,008,000               $356,000
  Operating income         184,000                 70,000
  Pre-tax income           171,000                 70,000
  Net income               128,000                 48,000
  </TABLE>

Gains and losses from the translation of certain balance sheet accounts 
are not included in determining net income, but are accumulated as a 
separate component of stockholders' equity. These unrealized gains and 
losses are subject to deferred income taxes.  As a result of the 
dollar's fluctuation against the Dutch guilder and British pound and 
changes in the net assets of foreign subsidiaries, stockholders' 
equity decreased, net of deferred income taxes, by approximately 
$349,000 during the six-month period ended September 30, 1995.

Financial Condition

Working capital decreased from March 31 to September 30, 1995 by 
approximately $1.4 million.  While several components of working capital 
fluctuated during this six-month period, the $1.4 million decrease is 
primarily the result of decreases in cash, accounts receivable, prepaid 
expenses and accounts payable, offset by an increase in short-term notes payable
and accrued expenses.  The decrease in working capital resulted in a decline 
in the Company's current ratio from 1.1:1 at March 31, 1995 to 0.94:1 at 
September 30, 1995.  As of September 30, 1995, the Company's debt to net 
equity ratio, including notes payable and current maturities of long-term 
debt, decreased to 0.75:1 from 0.76:1 at March 31, 1995.  This decrease in 
leverage is primarily the result of earnings experienced during
the current six-month period.

Capital Expansion and Resources

During the first six months of fiscal 1996, the Company generated $2.7 million
in cash from its operating activities, a decrease of $0.2 million when 
compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.  Substantially all of 
the cash generated in the current six-month period was invested in capital
expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities increased to $3,916,000 
for the six months ended September 30, 1995 from $1,855,000 in the same 
period of the prior fiscal year.  This fluctuation reflects a $1,512,000 
increase in capital expenditures, a $306,000 decrease in amounts collected 
from related parties and a $243,000 repayment of capital by our Canadian 
joint venture resulting from the redemption of 342,100 Class D special 
shares during the six months ended September 30, 1994.  Cash flows from 
financing activities increased by approximately $1.2 million during 
the six-month period ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same 
period of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of an increase in 
short-term borrowings by the Company's European subsidiary.

For the year ending March 31, 1996, management's objective is to foster growth
in earnings, through productivity improvements, increased capacity utilization
and continued emphasis on cost containment measures.  With that strategy in
place, a capital budget of approximately $6.8 million has been proposed for
fiscal 1996.  The Company anticipates that capital expenditures for fiscal 
1996 will be limited to maintaining or improving the Company's existing 
facilities and installing new processing systems in these facilities in 
order to meet specific market opportunities.  The Company anticipates 
financing its capital expenditures with cash provided by operating 
activities and additional borrowings as needed.  As of September 30, 1995, 
the Company has approximately $7.8 million available under its domestic and 
foreign credit facilities.

Contingencies

In regard to the environmental cleanup, discussed more fully in Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company anticipates paying for the 
cleanup with cash provided by operations.  If the current provision remains 
adequate, these costs should not significantly affect the financial position, 
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Effect of Inflation

The Company believes the relatively moderate rate of inflation currently being
experienced will not have a significant impact on the Company's sales or
profitability.
