                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 28, 1996


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Printpack, Inc.
("Printpack" or "Company") have been prepared by Company management and are
presented on a basis in accordance with the accounting policies stated in the
June 24, 1995 and June 29, 1996 financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the Notes to Financial Statements appearing therein.  As
described in the above noted financial statements, effective July 1996, a legal
reorganization was consummated which involved the Company.  As such, the
Company's Shareholders' equity has been presented to reflect the reorganization.
In the opinion of Printpack management, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of such
financial statements have been included in the accompanying interim financial
statements. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods
ended September 28, 1996 and December 28, 1996, respectively, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

2.  ACQUISITION

     The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include certain
assets and liabilities and operating results of certain operations acquired from
James River Corporation of Virginia's ("James River") Flexible Packaging
Business ("JR Flexible") as of August 22, 1996.  The acquisition was accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly, the purchase price of
approximately $376 million includes approximately $10 million of severance and
other exit costs primarily associated with the announced closing of the San
Leandro and Dayton plants, and approximately $1 million in other acquisition
costs, and has been allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price was allocated as
follows:


<TABLE>
       <S>                                            <C>
       Working capital, other than cash.............  $ 74,129
       Property, plant, and equipment...............   257,137
       Goodwill.....................................    28,586
       Other intangibles............................    26,500
       Other liabilities assumed....................   (10,123)
                                                      --------

       Purchase price net of cash received..........  $376,229
                                                      ========
</TABLE>


     This allocation has resulted in goodwill of approximately $28.6 million and
other intangibles of approximately $26.5 million, which are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 15 years.

     Accruals related to the announced closure of the two plants represent
Company management's best estimate of the anticipated costs to be incurred.
Additional costs, if any, associated with the closure of these plants will be 
allocated to the purchase price.  The current exit plans are expected to be
completed by March 31, 1997.  The net assets of these facilities are recorded
as Net Assets Held for Sale in the Company's balance sheet.

     The operating results of the facilities being closed are included in the
statement of operations and statement of cash flows presented for the 26 weeks
ended December 28, 1996 from the date of acquisition and were not material to
the Company's financial results for the period.

results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place
at the beginning of the period or of future results of the Company.

3.  INCOME TAXES

     Printpack's effective income tax rate exclusive of the one time charge
described below was 23% for the 26 weeks ended December 28, 1996, compared to
36% for the 13 weeks ended December 28, 1996.   The increase in the effective
tax rate for the period was primarily due to the change in tax status for the
operations formerly conducted by Printpack Enterprises, Inc., which effective
June 30, 1996, elected to change its Subchapter S tax election to be taxed as a
Subchapter C corporation.  The charge as a result of the change in tax status
was approximately $3.8 million, which is reflected in the results of operations
for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 1996.

     The Company paid no income taxes during the six-month period ended
December 28, 1996 due to the expected loss, and paid approximately $1.4 million
of income taxes during the six-month period ended December 23, 1995.

4.  INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or current market value.  Cost
is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.


Inventories are summarized as follows:

                                PRINTPACK, INC.
             NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


     The purchase price allocation discussed in Note 2 resulted in finished
goods inventory of $7.3 million. As this inventory was sold in the ten weeks
subsequent to the acquisition, approximately half of this allocated amount was 
amortized in the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 1996 and half in
the subsequent thirteen weeks.

     The purchase price allocation also resulted in maintenance materials and
machine spare parts inventories of about $6.7 million.  The Company, in
accordance with its accounting policies, expenses these items when purchased
and, consequently, has written-off this amount during the thirteen weeks ended
December 28, 1996.

5.  CONTINGENCIES

     Printpack is subject to legal proceedings and other claims which arise in
the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the outcome of
these actions will not materially affect the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.

6.  DEBT AND EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

     During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company completed a
refinancing arrangement contemporaneously with the acquisition of certain
manufacturing facilities from James River.  This refinancing provided for the
issuance of approximately $200 million senior subordinated notes bearing
interest at 10 5/8% due 2006 and the issuance of approximately $100 million of
senior notes bearing interest at 9 7/8% due 2004.  In addition, the Company also
received approximately $170 million from the proceeds of a term loan and
established a revolving credit facility of approximately $105 million with a
bank syndicate.  To complete the financing of the transaction, the Company also
entered into an asset-backed accounts receivable securitization arrangement and
received approximately $23 million of proceeds from the initial borrowing under
the arrangement.  The Company received an additional $18 million of proceeds
during the quarter ended December 28, 1996 under this arrangement.

     As a result of this debt restructuring, the Company incurred prepayment
fees and recognized an extraordinary loss of approximately $1,631,000, net of
applicable income tax benefit of $999,490, in the Company's results of
operations for the six-month period ended December 28, 1996.

                                PRINTPACK, INC.

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


        The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations of
Printpack for the 26 weeks and for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 1996
is compared to the same time periods in 1995.  The discussion and analysis of
Printpack's financial condition compares its condition at December 28, 1996 to
June 29, 1996.  The periods prior to the acquisition of JR Flexible do not
reflect the significant effects of either the acquisition or the financing
activities necessary to consummate the acquisition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Twenty-six weeks ended December 28, 1996 compared to December 23, 1995

        Net Sales.   Net sales increased $139.0 million or 65.4% to $351.6
million in 1996 from $212.6 million in 1995 due primarily to sales to both new
and  existing customers resulting from the acquisition completed on August 22,
1996. Sales volume growth, other than from the acquisition, was negligible. 
Price changes to customers during the period were insignificant.

        Gross Margin.   Cost of goods sold increased $132.8 million or 74.7% to
$310.5 million in 1996 from $177.7 million in 1995.  Cost of goods sold
increased to 88.3% of net sales in 1996 from 83.6% in 1995, primarily due to
higher manufacturing costs in the plants acquired from JR Flexible.
Additionally, parts of the acquisition purchase price were allocated to
finished goods and to maintenance materials and machine spare parts inventory. 
As the acquired finished goods were sold over approximately ten weeks
subsequent to the acquisition, the allocation in excess of its cost was
amortized and recorded separately in the income statement.  Such costs will not
continue in subsequent periods. Printpack's historical accounting policy is to
expense maintenance materials and machine spare parts when they are purchased
and, consequently, this inventory was written-off in the twenty-six weeks ended
1996.  There will be no future charges related to this inventory. Gross margin,
consequently, decreased $7.8 million or 22.4% to $27.1 million in 1996 from
$34.9 million in 1995.

        Operating Expenses.   Selling, administrative and research and
development expenses increased $6.9 million or 28.7% to $30.7 million in 1996
from $23.9 million in 1995, primarily due to additional personnel and related
costs resulting from the acquisition. Selling, administrative and research and
development expenses as a percentage of net sales declined to 8.7% in 1996 from
11.2% in 1995 as a result of additional sales from the acquisition.

        Certain Charges.   The interim financial results include certain assets
and liabilities and eighteen weeks of operating results of JR Flexible which
was acquired on August 22, 1996.  The acquisition was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly, the purchase price of
approximately $376 million includes approximately $10.0 million of severance
and other exit costs primarily associated with the announced closing of the San
Leandro and Dayton plants, and approximately $1.0 million in other acquisition
costs, and has been allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  This allocation has resulted in
goodwill of approximately $28.6 million and other intangibles of approximately
$26.5 million which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.

        Accruals related to the announced closure of the two plants represent   
management's best estimate of the anticipated costs to be incurred.  Additional
costs, if any, associated with the closure of these plants will be allocated to
the purchase price for JR Flexible.  The current exit plans are expected to be
completed by March 31, 1997.


<PAGE>   11

     The operating results of the JR Flexible facilities being closed are
included in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows presented
for the 26 weeks ended December 28, 1996 from the date of acquisition and were
not material to the Company's financial results for the period.

     Operating Income.   A loss from operations of $4.8 million was realized in
1996 compared to income from operations of $11.0 million in 1995.  The decrease
was due to lower gross margins, higher selling, administrative and research and
development expenses and other acquisition related costs and charges, as
described above.

     Other Income and Expense.   Interest expense increased $14.4 million
(282.3%) to $19.5 million in 1996 from $5.1 million in 1995 due to increased
borrowings incurred in connection with the acquisition on August 22, 1996.

     An income tax benefit of $6.3 million was realized in 1996 compared to
income tax expense of $.7 million in 1995.  The effective income tax rate
exclusive of the one time charge described below was 23% in 1996 compared to
12% in 1995.  The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the
change in tax status for the operations formerly conducted by Printpack
Enterprises, Inc., which effective June 30, 1996, elected to change its
Subchapter S tax election to be taxed as a Subchapter C corporation.  The
charge as a result of the change in tax status was approximately $3.8 million,
which is reflected in the results of operations for the 26 weeks ended December
28, 1996.

     In 1996 the Company incurred debt prepayment fees of $1.6 million, net of
the applicable tax benefit, on its indebtedness refinanced in conjunction with
the acquisition.

     Thirteen weeks ended December 28, 1996 compared to December 23, 1995

     Net Sales.   Net sales increased $95.3 million or 90.3% to $200.8 million
in 1996 from $105.5 million in 1995 due primarily to sales to both new and
existing customers resulting from the acquisition completed on August 22, 1996.
Sales volume growth, other than from the acquisition, was negligible.  Price
changes to customers during the period were insignificant.

     Gross Margin.   Cost of goods sold increased $92.1 million or 104.4% to
$180.3 million in 1996 from $88.2 million in 1995.  Cost of goods sold
increased to 89.8% of net sales in 1996 from 83.6% in 1995, primarily due to
higher manufacturing costs in the plants acquired from JR Flexible.
Additionally, parts of the acquisition purchase price were allocated to
finished goods and to maintenance materials and machine spare parts inventory. 
As the acquired finished goods were sold over approximately ten weeks
subsequent to the acquisition, the allocation in excess of its cost was
amortized and recorded separately in the income statement.  Such costs will not
continue in subsequent periods.  Printpack's historical accounting policy is to
expense maintenance materials and machine spare parts when they are purchased
and, consequently, this inventory was written-off in the thirteen weeks ended
1996.  There will be no future charges related to this inventory.  Gross
margin, consequently, decreased $7.1 million or 41.1% to $10.2 million in 1996
from $17.3 million in 1995.

     Operating Expenses.   Selling, administrative and research and development
expenses increased $3.1 million or 25.5% to $15.5 million in 1996 from $12.4
million in 1995, primarily due to additional personnel and related costs
resulting from the acquisition.  Selling, administrative and research and
development expenses as a percentage of net sales declined to 7.7% in 1996 from
11.7% in 1995 as a result of additional sales from the acquisition.

     Operating Income.   A loss from operations of $6.3 million was realized in
1996 compared to income from operations of $4.9 million in 1995.  The decrease
was due to lower gross margins, higher selling, administrative and research and
development expenses and other acquisition related costs and charges, as
described above.

<PAGE>   12

     Other Income and Expense.   Interest expense increased $10.7 million
(417.6%) to $13.2 million in 1996 from $2.6 million in 1995 due to increased
borrowings incurred in connection with the acquisition on August 22, 1996.

     An income tax benefit of $8.2 million was realized in 1996 compared to
income tax expense of $.1 million in 1995.  The effective income tax rate was
36% in 1996 compared to 4% in 1995.  The increase in the effective tax rate was
primarily due to the change in tax status for the operations formerly conducted
by Printpack Enterprises, Inc., which effective June 30, 1996, elected to
change its Subchapter S tax election to be taxed as a Subchapter C corporation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash provided by operating activities totaled $23.7 million in 1996
compared to $14.9 million in 1995.  The net loss in 1996, after adding back
depreciation and amortization of $23.8 million, inventory amortization of $7.3
million and inventory write-offs of $6.7 million, provided $14.7 million in cash
compared to $16.7 million in 1995.  An additional $5.7 million in 1996,
primarily from working capital reductions, was provided compared to a use of
$1.9 million in 1995.  Depreciation and amortization for the thirteen weeks
ended December 28, 1996 were $14.5 million.

     Capital expenditures were $10.6 million in 1996 compared to $14.2 million
in 1995, excluding the acquisition of JR Flexible, for which the finalized
payment was $369.8 million.  Management estimates its maintenance capital
expenditures for fiscal 1997 will be approximately $15 million and total capital
expenditures will approximate $45 million.

     Financing activities in 1995 were negligible but were substantial in 1996
in connection with the acquisition. $154.0 million of principal was repaid,
along with $17.3 million in prepayment premiums and issuance costs, from the
proceeds of $470 million of senior and senior subordinated notes, $20 million
in a revolving credit facility and $41 million in a receivable securitization
facility.  Total outstanding debt at December 28, 1996 of approximately $543.9
million included $231 million of floating rate and $312.9 million of fixed rate
obligations.  At December 28, 1996 the Company had approximately $94 million
available for borrowings under its credit agreements.

     The Company's primary liquidity needs are for capital expenditures, debt
service and working capital and its primary sources of liquidity are cash flows
from operations and borrowings under its existing bank credit facilities.  The
Company uses borrowings under its bank credit facilities to meet seasonal
fluctuations in working capital requirements, which generally peak during
January through March when sales volumes generally are lowest.  The Company
believes that its sources of liquidity will be adequate to meet its anticipated
requirements for liquidity for at least the next twelve months.
