1. The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of July 15, 1995, the
consolidated condensed statements of earnings for the twelve and
twenty-eight week periods ended July 15, 1995, and July 16, 1994, and
the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the twelve and
twenty-eight week periods then ended have been prepared by the company
without audit. Nacional de Envases, S.A. de C.V. (NEPSA), the company's
60% owned Mexican subsidiary prepares its financial statements monthly.
Consequently, NEPSA's second quarter ended June 30, 1995. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows at July 15, 1995, and for all
periods presented have been made. The company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents. For accounting policies, see Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the company's Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.
2. The company translates foreign currency financial statements by
translating balance sheet accounts at the current exchange rate and
income statement accounts at the average exchange rate for the quarter.
Translation gains and losses are recorded in shareholders' equity, and
transaction gains and losses are reflected in income.
3. The results of operations for the twenty-eight weeks ended July 15,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as of July 15, 1995 and for the

accordance with established professional standards and procedures for such a

Independent Accountants' Report
To the Board of Directors
Blessings Corporation
Newport News, Virginia
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of
Blessings Corporation and subsidiaries as of July 15, 1995, and the related
consolidated condensed statements of earnings and cash flows for the twelve and
twenty-eight weeks ended July 15, 1995 and July 16, 1994. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such consolidated condensed financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Blessings Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein) and in our report dated March 1, 1995, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance
sheet as of December 31, 1994 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which is has been derived.

information of Blessings Corporation and subsidiaries for the twelve and
twenty-eight weeks ended July 15, 1995 and July 16, 1994, as indicated in our
report dated August 9, 1995; because we did not perform an audit, we expressed
no opinion on that information.
We are aware that our report referred to above, which is included in your
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 15, 1995, is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement (Post-Effective

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Net Sales:
Net sales increased by 47.5% compared to the same quarter last year and
34.5% compared to the first half of 1994. The increase was the result of the
consolidation of net sales from Nacional de Envases, S.A. de C.V. (NEPSA). The
purchase of 60% of NEPSA was effective on July 5, 1994. Consequently there were
no sales incorporated into the company's results during the first half of 1994.
Domestic sales were down by 6% from the prior year's first half due primarily to
a general trend by diaper manufacturers to purchase thinner gauge diaper
backsheet materials. Demand in Mexico improved during the second quarter when
compared to the first quarter of this year but was still behind budgeted levels
due primarily to the peso devaluation and the resulting recession in that
country.
Improvements are anticipated from the first half's results as new
product applications currently in the development stages come to market and
stability continues in the Mexican economy.
Operating Costs and Expenses:
Gross margin declined from the unusually high 1994 first half results
by 5.0 percentage points. This decline was the result of the company's inability
to pass through all the polyolefin price increases which have occurred since the
first quarter last year and the weaker demand for film products discussed above.
The company has instituted rigid cost controls in an effort to recapture some of
this margin erosion. Other costs and expenses have remained relatively constant
as a percent of sales despite the inclusion of $2,937,700 of foreign exchange
loss, $530,100 of goodwill amortization and $948,100 of increased interest
expense associated with the purchase of NEPSA in the first half's results.
Taxes on Income:
The effective tax rate for the first half was 46.0% compared to 39.2%
for the first half of last year. The increase was primarily the result of a
higher effective tax rate associated with NEPSA and the related non-deductible
goodwill amortization.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
As of July 15, 1995, the company had working capital of $10,921,600
compared to $12,165,700 at year-end, a decrease of $(1,244,100). The ratio of
current assets to current liabilities at the end of the quarter and at year-end
was 1.4 to 1. The company was not utilizing any of its $6 million revolving
credit line. However, the company was utilizing $3 million of its $7 million
short-term credit at July 15, 1995. The company is currently projecting that the
$3 million short-term loan will not be outstanding at the end of the year.
