Item 1.  Financial Statements

                             INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS
                             ---------------------

     The Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by
Management, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although Management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information
presented.  It is recommended that these Consolidated Financial Statements be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included
in the Company's Annual Report filed March 15, 2000 on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

     Except for historical information contained herein, the matters set forth
in this report or in oral statements made by officers of the Company are
forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-
looking statements.  The Company's expectations respecting future revenues and
profits assume, among other things, reasonable continued growth in the general
economy which affects demand for the Company's products, reasonable stability in
raw material pricing, changes in which affect customer purchasing decisions as
well as the Company's revenues and margins.  Investors are advised to consider
these and other risks and uncertainties that may be discussed in documents filed
by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
JPS Packaging and its wholly owned subsidiary (the Company).  The entity
operates facilities in San Leandro, California and Akron, Ohio.

    The information included in these condensed consolidated financial
statements reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared consistent with the
accounting principles and policies described more fully in Note 1 of the
Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1999.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

    Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market.  In the third quarter of
1999 the Company elected to change from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation.  There was no
effect on the financial statements for the interim periods in 1999.  The Company
believes the change to the FIFO method of valuation results in better matching
of raw material cost to the selling price of finished goods and better reflects
the current inventory value at period-end dates.  Work in process and finished
goods inventories include the cost of material, labor and factory overhead
required in the production of the Company's products.  Inventories at June 30,
2000 and December 31, 1999 were:

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
                            AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999

     Sales for the quarter were $22.2 million in 2000 and $20.5 in 1999, an
increase of $1.7 million. Sales in the fresh produce market were up
approximately $1.3 million, which represented 77% of the total increase in
sales. Increases in labeling and liquid of approximately $600,000 offset the
decline in lidding and specialty sales.

     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased from 10.5% in 1999 to
11% in 2000, an increase of $293,000. Material costs have increased from the
second quarter 1999 due to continued rising material costs. The impact of
increased sales offset by raw material price increases, changes in product mix
and continuing pricing pressures form larger competitors, resulted in a slight
increase in the gross profit percentage.

Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999

     Sales for the six months ended June 30 increased $1.7 million from $41.2
million in 1999 to $42.9 million in 2000. The increase of $2.6 million on fresh
produce sales offset a decrease of $900,000 in other markets.

     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from 11.1% in 1999 to
9.5% in 2000, a decrease of $507,000. The decline in gross profit is
attributable to raw material increases, changes in the product mix, continued
pricing pressures from larger competitors and start up costs associated with new
business.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $4.4 million for
the first six months of 2000 versus $4.7 million in 1999. The majority of the
decrease is the result of reduced corporate spending.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Net cash provided by continuing operations was $0.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to cash used of $2.5 million for the same
time period in 1999. In the first six months of 1999 there was a $4.0 million
increase in inventories that did not occur in 2000. Capital expenditures have
decreased $500,000. The majority of expenditures in 2000 are for improvements to
production related equipment. In 1999, approximately 20% of the expenditures
were for computer related software and hardware, while the remaining amount was
for production related equipment.

     The Company currently has a $15,000,000 credit facility, of which none was
borrowed against at June 30, 2000. The facility is secured by accounts
receivable, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment. Borrowings are
limited to a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30,
2000, the Company had $14.4 million in unused borrowing capacity. The revolving
credit facility includes financial covenants regarding minimum tangible net
worth, capital expenditures, EBITDA and cash flow. The covenants regarding
EBITDA were amended May 5, 2000. As of June 30, 2000 the Company was in
compliance with the all financial covenants, as amended. Management believes
that cash generated from operations and funds available under the Company's
credit facility will be adequate to meet foreseeable funding needs.
