5.       CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

         During fiscal 1991 soil conditions at the Wheaton, Illinois facility
of Plastofilm Industries, Inc. ("Plastofilm"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, were discovered which need remediation. At June 30, 1991, a pre-tax
provision of $1.0 million was recorded for the estimated costs of testing and
remediation. At June 28, 1992, an additional pre-tax provision of $1.0 million
was recorded to reflect the then currently estimated costs to complete the soil
remediation. Expenditures during fiscal 1995 and prior years were approximately
$807,000.  Expenditures to date during fiscal 1996 have been approximately
$14,000. During fiscal 1993 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
requested certain additional testing to be performed before approval of the
Company's voluntary clean-up plan. These tests were conducted in fiscal 1994
and submitted to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency in fiscal 1995
for approval. The approval of the Company's voluntary clean-up is pending.

         The Company has received a demand for the payment of withdrawal
liability in the amount of approximately $360,000 from a multi-employer pension
plan to which the Company made contributions in connection with a discontinued
business. The Company disputes that it has any withdrawal liability and, in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act, has demanded that this dispute be resolved through arbitration.
The Company is making quarterly contributions of approximately $10,000 as
required by law pending arbitration. Through December 31, 1995 the Company has
made payments of approximately $115,000. These payments will be returned to the
Company, with interest, if it is ultimately determined that the Company has no
liability.

         The Company, in connection with a discontinued business, has been
named by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("US-EPA") as a
potentially responsible party in a Superfund Proceeding. The US-EPA has
determined the Company to be a de minimus contributor and has offered a
settlement agreement to all parties. The Company has accepted the settlement
agreement which will require total payments of $80,586.  On January 16, 1996
the Company paid the first installment of $40,293. The second and final
installment of $40,293 is due July 16, 1996. The settlement amount has been
provided for in the financial statements.

6.       LONG-TERM DEBT

         On January 15, 1996, the Company entered into a new long-term debt
agreement. Under the terms of this new agreement, the Company can borrow a
maximum of $3,000,000, to be financed at a fixed interest rate of 7.74%, with
regular monthly principle payments of $50,000, maturing on February 1, 2001.
The Company used this new borrowing to retire previous long-term debt of
$1,845,000 ($570,000 of which had been classified as current), which was
financed at a variable interest rate of prime plus 1/4 % and also paid down its
secured short-term line of credit (which is financed at prime plus 1/4%) by
$1,100,000. As of January 15, 1996 the Company has $2,800,000 available under
the secured short term-line of credit, none of which is outstanding.

         In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, these
financial statements are presented as if the new long term debt agreement had
been finalized at December 31, 1995.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 were $6.8 million compared to $7.1
million for the second quarter of fiscal 1995. This decrease of $0.3 million
was a result of the Company's efforts to shed itself of low margin product
lines and weak market conditions in November and December 1995. For the first
six months of fiscal 1996, sales were $14.7 million as compared to $14.3
million for the first six months of fiscal 1995. This increase of $0.4 million
was a result of improving market conditions and a pass-through of raw material
cost increases which were experienced over the past year.

The gross profit percentage was 22.0% and 24.5% for the second quarter and the
first six months of fiscal 1996, respectively, as compared to gross profit
percentages of 24.6% and 24.4% in the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal 1995, respectively. The reduction in the second quarter of fiscal 1996
as compared to the second quarter of the prior year was a result of lower sales
volumes and the pass-through on a cost basis of raw material price increases.

Selling expenses were $842,000 or 12.4% of sales for the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 as compared to $968,000 or 13.7% of sales in the second quarter of
fiscal 1995. For the first six months of fiscal 1996, selling expenses were
$1,829,000 or 12.5% of sales as compared to $1,949,000 or 13.7% of sales in the
first six months of fiscal 1995. The decrease in selling expenses incurred in
fiscal 1996 of $126,000 and $120,000 over the respective periods of 1995 was a
result of reduced expenses for sales support and continued cost control
efforts.

General and administrative expenses of $597,000 for the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 were substantially unchanged from the $574,000 incurred during the
second quarter of fiscal 1995. General and administrative expenses of
$1,233,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1996 were $141,000 higher than
the $1,092,000 incurred during the first six months of fiscal 1995. This
increase was primarily a result of the costs incurred in planning and executing
its expansion into Northern Ireland.

Operating income was $61,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared
to $201,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1995. The decrease of $140,000 was
a result of reduced gross profit on lower sales volumes offset by a reduction
in selling expenses. Operating income for the first six months of fiscal 1996
was $530,000 as compared to $441,000 for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.
This $89,000 improvement was due to higher sales levels and corresponding gross
profit.

Net interest expense was $81,000 and $166,000 for the second quarter and first
six months of fiscal 1996, respectively, as compared to $122,000 and $225,000
for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1995, respectively. This
improvement of $41,000 and $59,000 over the respective periods of fiscal 1995
was a result of lower outstanding balances on the Company's line of credit and
increased interest income.

Net other income & expense was an expense of $23,000 in the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 as compared to income of $24,000 reported during the second quarter
of fiscal 1995. For the first six months of fiscal 1996 net other income &
expense was an expense of $45,000 as compared to an expense of $1,000 reflected
during the first six months of fiscal 1995. This difference of $47,000 and
$44,000, respectively, was a result of a gain on the sale of real estate of 
$53,000 reported in fiscal 1995.   

The Company reported a net loss of $43,000 during the second quarter of fiscal
1996 as compared to net income of $103,000 during the second quarter of fiscal
1995.  This earnings reduction of $146,000 was a result of reduced gross profit
on lower sales offset by a reduction in selling expenses.  For the six months
ended December 31, 1995 the Company reported net income of $319,000 as compared
to $215,000 reported during the first six months of fiscal 1995.  This
improvement of $104,000 was a result of higher operating income resulting from
increased gross margins and sales which more than offset the one-time gain on
the sale of real estate recorded in fiscal 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net working capital increased to $3.6 million as of December 31, 1995, compared
to $2.1 million as of June 30, 1995. This increase of $1.5 million in working
capital was primarily attributed to earnings and the related cash flows of
$950,000, and a net increase in long-term debt of $925,000, which was offset by
capital expenditures of $350,000.

Plastofilm has a short-term credit facility with a financial institution which
is renewable on November 30, 1996 at the option of such institution. As of
December 31, 1995, $2.8 million was available under this facility and
Plastofilm was in compliance with all covenants.  Plastofilm also has a capital
expenditure facility which has maximum borrowings of $1,000,000. As of
December 31, 1995, $275,000 was available under this facility. In addition, the
Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Plastofilm Limited, has
negotiated a $1.6 million credit facility with a financial institution in
Northern Ireland and a grant package from the Industrial Development Board of
Northern Ireland. This facility and grant package is anticipated to provide for
the capital and liquidity needs to support the Company's expansion into
Northern Ireland.

On January 15, 1996, the Company entered into a new long-term debt agreement.
Under the terms of this new agreement, the Company can borrow a maximum of
$3,000,000, to be financed at a fixed interest rate of 7.74%, with regular
monthly principal payments of $50,000, maturing on February 1, 2001. The 
Company used this new borrowing to retire previous long-term debt of $1,845,000 
($570,000 of which had been classified as current), which was financed at a 
variable interest rate of prime plus 1/4 % and also paid down its secured 
short-term line of credit (which is financed at prime plus 1/4%) by $1,100,000. 
As of January 15, 1996 the Company has $2,800,000 available under the secured 
short term-line of credit, none of which is outstanding.

The Company's liquidity and capital needs through fiscal 1996 include the costs
associated with its expansion plans, among which are the following: the
establishment of a production facility in Northern Ireland, the anticipated
establishment of a production facility in East Central Texas, and a potential
joint venture arrangement in Puerto Rico. Additional capital needs may include
the upgrade and replacement of existing equipment, as well as expenditures for
soil remediation at its Wheaton, Illinois facility. The funds required to
finance these items are expected to be provided from operating cash flows,
Plastofilm's existing credit facilities, credit facilities that have been
established in Northern Ireland, grants to be made available from the
Industrial Development Board of Northern Ireland and from other credit
facilities which may become available to the Company.
