                             LIQUI-BOX CORPORATION
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                                   UNAUDITED


     1.  The  accompanying   financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of
Liqui-Box Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries.

     The information  furnished reflects all adjustments (all of which were of
a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary
to fairly present the consolidated financial position,  results of operations,
and changes in cash flows on a consistent basis.

     Certain  amounts  in the  prior  year's  financial  statements  have been
reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.


     2. The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  are
presented in accordance with the  requirements  for Form 10-Q and consequently
do not include all the  disclosures  normally  required by generally  accepted
accounting principles or those which are normally made in the Company's annual
Form 10-K filing.  Reference  should be made to the  Company's  aforementioned
Form 10-K for  additional  disclosures  including  a summary of the  Company's
accounting policies, which have not significantly changed.

                                    ITEM 2.

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




     Net sales in the Third  Quarter  1995 were  higher  than net sales in the
Third Quarter 1994 by 14.0%. For the first three quarters,  net sales for 1995
were 7.2% higher  than net sales in 1994.  The  increase  in sales  dollars is
primarily attributable to increased selling prices that mitigate the effect of
increases in raw material costs, which is partially offset by a slight decline
in unit sales.

     Gross profit as a percentage  of net sales was 27.4% in the Third Quarter
1995 and 30.5% in the Third  Quarter  1994.  For the first  three  quarters of
1995, gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 27.0% as compared to 32.2%
in 1994.  Year to date, the decrease in gross profit as a percent of sales can
be primarily  attributed  to increases in raw material  costs partly offset by
increased selling prices.

     For the Third Quarter of 1995, selling,  administrative,  and development
expenses  were  12.8% of sales as  compared  to 14.2% in the Third  Quarter of
1994.  For the  first  nine  months  of  1995,  selling,  administrative,  and
development  expenses  were 13.4% of sales as compared  to 15.8% in 1994.  The
decreases reflect the Company's continuing  commitment to control its overhead
costs.

     Income  before taxes as a percentage  of net sales was 14.6% in the Third
Quarter  1995  and  16.1% in the  Third  Quarter  1994.  For the  first  three
quarters,  income  before taxes as a percentage of net sales was 13.5% in 1995
as compared to 16.4% in 1994.  These decreases are a result of decreased gross
profits which have been partially offset by reduced  selling,  administrative,
and development costs during the first nine months of 1995.

     The  provision  for  income  taxes was 40.1% of before tax income for the
Third  Quarter of 1995 and 41.7% for the Third Quarter 1994. On a year to date
basis, the provision for income taxes was 40.1% of income before taxes in 1995
and 41.1% in 1994.

     At the end of the  Third  Quarter  of 1995  and  1994,  Liqui-Box  had no
significant  backlog of orders.  Sales of the Company's products generally are
closely  coordinated with the production of its customers.  Typically,  orders
are filled within 30 days.

     Total  working  capital was  $40,143,000  at the end of the Third Quarter
1995 and  $33,176,000 at year end 1994. The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities  was 3.5 to 1 at the end of the Third Quarter 1995 and 3.3 to 1 at
year end 1994.



                                          -8-




     Cash used in financing  activities  was $2,922,000 for Third Quarter 1995
compared to $10,217,000 for Third Quarter 1994.

     Net cash  provided by  operating  activities  was  $11,997,000  for Third
Quarter 1995 compared to $15,606,000 for Third Quarter 1994.

     Liqui-Box's  major  commitments for capital  expenditures as of September
30, 1995 were, as they have been in the past, primarily for increased capacity
at existing locations,  building filler machines for lease and tooling for new
projects.  Funds  required  to  fulfill  these  commitments  will be  provided
principally from operations with any additional  funding needed coming from an
outstanding line of credit with Huntington National Bank.

     Longer term cash requirements,  other than normal operating expenses, are
anticipated  for expanding  capacity at existing  facilities,  building filler
machines  for lease,  repurchases  of  Company  stock and  development  of new
products and enhancements of existing products.  The Company believes that its
existing cash,  available line of credit and  anticipated  cash generated from
operations  will be  sufficient  to satisfy  its  currently  anticipated  cash
requirements.

     There have been no significant changes in capitalization during the first
nine  months of 1995,  except for the  repurchase  of  treasury  shares in the
aggregate amount of $1,780,000  which were acquired  throughout the first nine
months of 1995 for future  corporate use. Funds for the repurchase of treasury
shares came from  operating  capital.  The  Company  has not entered  into any
significant financing arrangements not reflected in the financial statements.

     Management  feels  that  inflation,  in the form of higher  raw  material
prices,  has had an effect on the Company's  operations during the first three
quarters of 1995.
