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 September
30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were:

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
                            AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations

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

    Sales for the quarter were $23.1 million in 2000 and $20.1 in 1999, an
increase of $3.0 million.  Sales in the fresh produce market were up
approximately $1.3 million, which represented 43% of the total increase in
sales.  The increase in fresh produce sales combined with an increase of $1.2
million in label sales accounts for 83% of the total increase in sales from the
same quarter of 1999.

    Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased from 6.4% in 1999 to
8.9% in 2000, an increase of $778,000.  Increased sales volume offset in part
by changes in product mix and continuing pricing pressures from larger
competitors resulted in an increase in the gross profit percentage.

Nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999

    Sales for the nine months ended September 30 increased $4.7 million from
$61.3 million in 1999 to $66.0 million in 2000.  An increase of $3.9 million in
fresh produce sales and $1.1 million in labeling sales offset declines in the
liquid and lidding markets.

    Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from 9.5% in 1999 to
9.3% in 2000.  Higher material cost, primarily in the first quarter of 2000,
changes in the product mix and continued pricing pressures from larger
competitors have contributed to the decrease in gross profit percentage.
Increased sales volume offset some of the cost increases.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $6.4 million for
the first nine months of 2000 versus $6.7 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 $4.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to cash used of $1.9 million for the
same time period in 1999.  In the first nine months of 1999 there was a $3.1
million increase in inventories that did not occur in 2000.  Capital
expenditures have decreased $556,000.  Approximately 95% of capital
expenditures in 2000 are for improvements to production related equipment. In
1999, approximately 13% 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 September 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 September
30, 2000, the Company had $13.8 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 September 30, 2000 the Company
was in compliance with the 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.

Subsequent Event

    On October 13, 2000 Pechiney, JPS Acquisition Inc. and JPS Packaging Company
signed a definitive merger agreement for the acquisition of JPS Packaging
Company.  On October 30, 2000 a cash tender offer was commenced for all the
outstanding shares of JPS Packaging Company stock at a price of $7.86 per JPS
Packaging share.  The tender offer is
