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 March 31,
2000 and December 31, 1999 were:

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
                            AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999

     Sales for the quarter were $20.7 million in both 2000 and 1999. Sales
volume in the bottle label and liquid packaging markets is down approximately
$2.0 million from the first quarter 1999. The decrease in bottle label and
liquid packaging sales was offset by increased sales in both existing and new
markets, primarily in the fresh produce market.

     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from 11.7% in 1999 to
7.8% in 2000, or a decrease of $800,000 or 33%. The decline was attributable to
the increase in raw material prices, including unprecedented increases in resin,
a change 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 $2.2 million for
the first quarter 2000 versus $2.4 million in the first quarter of 1999. The
decrease is attributable to decreased corporate expenses.

     Borrowing in the first quarter of 2000 led to interest expense of $18,000
versus interest income of $20,000 for the first quarter of 1999, when the
Company had invested funds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Net cash used by continuing operations was $1.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to cash used of $2.9 million for the same
time period in 1999. In the first quarter of 1999 there was a $2.5 million
increase in inventories that did not occur in 2000. Capital expenditures have
remained the same, with the majority in 2000 being 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 established a $15,000,000 credit facility with a bank, of which
approximately $2.5 million was borrowed at March 31, 2000. The facility is
secured by certain assets of the Company, principally inventory, receivables and
property, plant, and equipment. The borrowings under the facility are limited to
a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory. At March 31, 2000, the
Company had unused borrowing capacity of approximately $11.6 million. The
interest rate, currently 9%, is the prime rate of Harris

                                       8

Trust and Savings Bank. The revolving credit facility includes financial
covenants regarding minimum tangible net worth, capital expenditures, EBITDA and
cash flow. As of March 31, 2000 the Company was in compliance with these
covenants.

     Management believes that cash generated form operations and funds available
under the Company's revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet
foreseeable funding needs.

Subsequent Event

     On April 2, 2000 the hourly union workers in the Akron plant approved a
three year contract.
