SPINNAKER INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include
     Spinnaker Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Central
     Products Company, Spinnaker Coating, Inc. ("Spinnaker Coating") and
     Entoleter, Inc. (collectively the "Company").  All significant intercompany
     accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Effective March 17, 1998, the Company acquired the assets of the pressure
     sensitive business ("Pressure Sensitive Business") of S.D. Warren
     ("Warren").  Warren is a large pulp and paper producer owned by an indirect
     wholly-owned subsidiary of SAPPI, Ltd., a public South African
     conglomerate.  The acquired pressure sensitive business, renamed Spinnaker
     Coating - Maine, Inc. ("Coating - Maine") effective with the acquisition,
     manufactures and markets label stock primarily for the EDP segment of the
     label stock market.  Coating - Maine's EDP products are used in various
     labeling end uses, including form printing and product marking and
     identification.  The purchase price under the agreement was approximately
     $51.8 million, plus the assumption of certain liabilities and was funded
     from availability under the Company's amended $60 million revolving credit
     facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and the issuance of a 
     subordinated convertible note (the "Note") by the Company to Warren in 
     the amount of $7.0 million.

     The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with the purchase price
     (subject to adjustment upon finalization of certain acquisition costs)
     allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as follows:

     Goodwill arising from the Coating - Maine acquisition is amortized using
     the straight-line method over a period of 30 years.

     The operating results of Coating - Maine are included in the consolidated
     statements of operations from the March 17, 1998 acquisition date.  The
     following pro forma information, which is based on information currently

3.   In October 1996, the Company acquired all of the approximately 25% minority
     interest in its Spinnaker Coating subsidiary held by such subsidiary's
     other shareholders.  The terms of the acquisition involved a cash payment
     of approximately $2.3 million and the issuance of 9,613 shares of the
     Company's common stock, no par value ("Common Stock").  As additional
     consideration for the shares of capital stock of Spinnaker Coating, the
     minority shareholders received the right to a contingent payment, which is
     exercisable at any time during the period beginning October 1, 1998 and
     ending September 30, 2000.

4.   Of inventory values at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, approximately
     38% and 47%, respectively, are valued using the last in, first out method
     (LIFO), 59% and 49%, respectively, are valued using a specific
     identification method with the remaining inventories valued using the

5.   In conjunction with the acquisition of Coating - Maine, the Revolving 
     Credit Facility was amended to increase the aggregate facility amount 
     to $60 million, subject to certain variables, including inventory and 
     receivables eligible to be included in the borrowing base.

     Also, in conjunction with the acquisition of Coating - Maine, the Company
     issued a Note to Warren, which had an original principal amount of
     $7.0 million, and bears interest at 10% per annum.  The note is convertible
     for shares of the Company's Common Stock on the basis of 40 shares per
     $1,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the Note (or $25 per share),
     subject to adjustment as set forth below.  The Note includes a payment-in-
     kind ("PIK") feature that allows the Company to pay the first year's
     interest payment by issuing an additional subordinated convertible note 
     having similar terms; thereafter, interest is payable in cash provided 
     the Company is not in default, on a proforma basis, of covenants under 
     the Revolving Credit Facility.  If the Company is prohibited from paying 
     interest due in cash, the Company will continue to PIK the interest owed.
     Prepayments of the original principal amount are due in two installments: 
     30% on March 31, 1999 and 70% on March 31, 2000, provided the Company is 
     not in default of covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility and has 
     pro forma availability in excess of $15 million under the Revolving Credit
     Facility.  If the Company is prohibited from satisfying the March 31, 1999
     principal payment due to insufficient pro forma availability, the unpaid 
     portion of the payment will be deferred until the next August 15 or 
     March 15 as the Company could make such payment, subject to the same 
     conditions described above.  Any unpaid principal outstanding after 
     March 31, 2000 will be considered due on demand, however, the payment of 
     such amount will still remain restricted under the conditions described 
     above.  In any event, the Note and remaining unpaid interest will mature 
     on January 31, 2002.

     Credit availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to 
     certain variables, such as the amount of inventory and receivables 
     eligible to be included in the borrowing base.  The Company had cash 
     advances of approximately $39.9 million outstanding under the lines of 
     credit and available borrowings of approximately $11.2 million as of 
     March 31, 1998.  The Company is charged an unused line of credit fee 
     every month based on an annual rate of 0.375%.  Interest on outstanding 
     borrowings are at variable rates related to the prime or LIBOR (London 
     Interbank Offered Rate) rates.  At March 31, 1998, the interest rate in 
     effect was 10.25%.  Subsequent to March 31, 1998, approximately 90% of 
     the then outstanding Revolving Credit Facility borrowings were moved to 
     LIBOR instruments.

6.   In September 1997, Boyle Fleming & Company ("BF") exercised Class "A"
     warrants pursuant to which the Company has issued to BF an aggregate
     262,970 shares of Common Stock and 262,970 shares of no par value Class A
     common stock ("Class A Common Stock").  On January 8, 1998, BF were issued
     228,499 shares of Common Stock and 228,499 shares of Class A Common Stock
     upon the exercise of the remaining warrants at a price of $2.67 per warrant
     exercise.  Richard J. Boyle and Ned N. Fleming, III, the Company's Chairman
     and Chief Executive Officer, and President and Chief Operating Officer,
     respectively, are shareholders, directors and officers of BF.

7.   In 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     ("SFAS") No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE.  The Company changed the method used
     to compute earnings per share and restated all prior periods.  Under the
     new requirements for calculating basic earnings per share, the dilutive
     effect of stock options is excluded.  The following table sets forth only
     the computation of the basic earnings per share as there are no dilutive
     securities for the quarter ended March 31:

     As of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, there were 30,000 directors'
     options to purchase one share each of Class A Common Stock and Common
     Stock at a total price of $40 per option exercised and 10,000 directors'
     options to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $27 per
     option exercised.  Shares related to these options were not included in
     a March 31, 1998 or December 31, 1997 computation of diluted earnings per
     share because the effect would be antidilutive.

8.   As of March 31, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, REPORTING
     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, issued in June of 1997.  SFAS No. 130 requires the
     reporting and display of comprehensive income, which is composed of net
     income and other comprehensive income items, in a full set of general
     purpose financial statements.  Other comprehensive income items are
     revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted
     accounting principles are excluded from net income and reflected as
     component of equity; such as currency translation and minimum pension
     liability adjustments.  There were no comprehensive income items excluded
     from net income and included as a component of equity in the periods ended
     March 31, 1998 and 1997.

     In June of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURE ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED
     INFORMATION, which establishes standards for the way that public business
     enterprises report information about operating results in annual financial
     statements and selected information in interim financial statements issued
     to shareholders.  This SFAS does not require application to interim
     financial statements in the initial year of its application.  The Company
     is evaluating the effect of adopting SFAS No. 131 on its segment reporting
     requirements.

     In February of 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, EMPLOYERS' DISCLOSURES
     ABOUT PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS, which is an amendment to
     SFAS No.'s 87, 88 and 106.  This SFAS revises employers' disclosures about
     pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.  It does not change the
     measurement or recognition of those plans.  Management believes that the
     adoption of SFAS No. 132 in fiscal 1998 will not have a significant impact
     on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

9.   The Company has identified possible environmental issues related to
     portions of its land in Hamden, Connecticut.  The appropriate regulatory
     agencies have been notified, but to date no action has been required by any
     regulatory agency.


10.  Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period data to
     the current year's presentation.

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

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

NET SALES

The Company's net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $59.5 million,
compared to $57.2 million in the corresponding 1997 period.  Unit sales of prime
and variable information adhesive label stock increased from 1997 levels, which
more than offset lower unit sales (approximately 30%) of postage paper stock.
Unit sales of pressure sensitive postage paper stock were impacted by the
delayed release of orders by the Bureau of Printing and Engraving to both the
Company and private printers supplied by the Company.  Unit sales of industrial
tapes were consistent with 1997 levels, however, changes in product mix and
increased market competition resulted in modestly lower average selling prices.
The increase in net sales for 1998 also includes approximately $2 million in
sales from the recently acquired Pressure Sensitive Business.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the quarters ended March 31, 1998
and 1997 was approximately 12.8%. The 1998 gross margins reflect improved
manufacturing variances and lower average unit manufacturing costs of adhesive-
backed material products, offset by increased depreciation and amortization
expense burden of 20%, or $0.3 million.

The Company attributes these improvements to efficiencies gained through
reductions of manufacturing personnel, material process and handling
modifications and recent capital investments which have enabled the Company to
increase output and reduce manufacturing downtime.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was approximately
$1.9 million compared to approximately $2.0 million in the corresponding 1997
period.  These operating results reflect increased net sales and related
contribution margins, offset by approximately $0.4 million of increased
depreciation and amortization expense in cost of sales and selling, general and
administrative expense associated with recent capital investments.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased approximately
$0.2 million compared to the corresponding period for 1997.  The increase is
attributable to the financing associated with the Company's acquisition of 
the Pressure Sensitive Business.

Effective May 1, 1998 under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company moved
approximately 90% of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Facility borrowings
into LIBOR instruments.  The LIBOR instruments range in maturity from one to
three months.  This action reduced the Company's effective interest rate on the
Revolving Credit Facility borrowings to approximately 8.74%.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's first quarter 1998 income tax rate for federal and state income
taxes reflects its estimated annual effective tax rate.  The Company's tax rate
is impacted by permanent tax differences, primarily non-deductible goodwill
associated with the acquisition of Central Products.

Cash income taxes paid by the Company are currently limited to state income 
taxes, as the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately 
$9.5 million available to offset future taxable income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Effective March 17, 1998, the Company closed the acquisition of the Pressure 
Sensitive Business from Warren ("Coating - Maine Acquisition"), whereby 
Coating - Maine acquired the Pressure Sensitive Business.

Warren, a large pulp and paper producer, is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
of SAPPI, Ltd., a public South African conglomerate.  Coating - Maine is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Spinnaker Coating (most recently known as Brown-
Bridge Industries, Inc., and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and was
formed to acquire the Pressure Sensitive Business which manufacturers and
markets label stock primarily for the EDP segment of the label stock market.
The Pressure Sensitive Business' EDP products are used in various labeling end
uses, including form printing and product marking and identification.

The Coating - Maine Acquisition is consistent with the Company's long-term 
strategy of pursuing acquisitions which complement its position in the 
adhesive-backed materials industry.  The purchase price under the related 
asset purchase agreement was approximately $51.8 million, plus the assumption 
of certain liabilities (excluding substantially all trade payables), and was 
funded with approximately $44.8 million from availability under the Revolving 
Credit Facility and the Note issued by the Company to Warren in the original 
principal amount of $7.0 million.

The Note includes PIK feature that allows the Company to pay the first year's 
interest payment by issuing an additional subordinated note under similar 
terms as the Note, and the Company may also issue such a PIK note if at a 
future interest payment date a default or event of default exists, or would 
be caused by the payment of such interest in cash, under the Revolving Credit 
Facility.  Payments of principal and interest are subject to restrictions 
contained in, and in any event are junior and subordinate in right of payment 
to, the payment of indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit 
Facility and the Company's 10-3/4% Senior Notes due 2006 ("Senior Notes").  
The Note matures on January 31, 2002, however, it is expected to be prepaid 
earlier if certain conditions or events occur. Prepayments of principal of 
30% and 70% of the original principal amount are due on March 31, 1999 and 
March 31, 2000, respectively, subject to there being sufficient unused 
availability and no existing default or event of default under the Revolving 
Credit Facility.

In conjunction with the Coating - Maine Acquisition, Revolving Credit 
Facility was amended to increase the aggregate facility amount to $60 
million, subject to certain variables, including inventory and receivables 
eligible to be included in the borrowing base.

The Company's principal source of liquidity is cash flow from operations and 
availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.  The Revolving Credit 
Facility is available to fund acquisitions and support periodic fluctuations 
in the working capital.

Credit availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain
variables, such as inventory and receivables eligible to be included in the
borrowing base, as of May 1, 1998, aggregate availability was approximately
$49.1 million, of which approximately $38.5 million was outstanding.  This 
outstanding balance includes the Company's April 15, 1998 interest payment on 
the Senior Notes of approximately $6.2 million.

The Company's March 31, 1998 cash balance was $0.2 million, as cash collections
are swept against the Company's outstanding Revolving Credit Facility balance.

Net cash used in investing activities was $54.7 million in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 compared to $1.6 million in the corresponding 1997 period.
Investing activities in 1998 primarily related to the Coating - Maine
Acquisition.  Investing activities in 1998 also included capital investments
focused on improving manufacturing efficiencies in the Company's production
facilities, while investments in 1997 provided increased capacity, in addition
to improved manufacturing efficiencies in the Company's production facilities.

                                  Page 11 of 16
<PAGE>

Financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 1998 generated
approximately $39.3 million, which includes borrowings under the Revolving 
Credit Facility to financing the Coating - Maine Acquisition and the issuance 
of 228,499 shares of Common Stock and 228,499 shares of Class A Common Stock, 
no par value, upon the exercise of the remaining Class A warrants held by BF 
at a total price of $610 thousand.  The cash generated by the BF exercise of 
its Class A warrant was offset by capital lease payments and $704 thousand 
of deferred financing costs associated with amending the Revolving Credit 
Facility to increase the aggregate facility amount to $60 million.

The amended $60 million Revolving Credit Facility will expire October 2001,
which is consistent with the maturity date of the original $40 million revolver.
The Company is charged an unused credit fee every month of 0.375% per annum.
Interest on outstanding borrowings bear interest at variable rates related to
the prime or LIBOR rates.  At March 31, 1998, the Company moved approximately
$32.3 million of the then outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facility to LIBOR instruments.  The LIBOR instruments range in life from one to
six months and have a combined effective interest rate of approximately 8.74%.

Certain agreements with the Company's lenders impose restrictions on the ability
of the Company or the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends.  The Company is
required to comply with various covenants including limitations on capital
expenditures, interest coverage, and minimum levels of net worth and current
ratio, as well as various other financial covenants.

The Company continues to investigate the possibility of pursuing an offering of
equity, however, there can be no assurance that an offering will be accomplished
on terms satisfactory to the Company.

Other

On April 30, 1998, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire the
worldwide pressure sensitive electrical tape business of tesa tape, inc. of
Hamburg, Germany.  The acquisition will be a wholly owned, unrestricted
subsidiary acquired to compliment the Company's line of adhesive back industrial
tapes.  Consideration for the business will be a combination of cash and Common
Stock.  The acquisition is anticipated to closing late in the second quarter of
1998.  The business to be acquired generated net sales of approximately $20
million through the sale of electrical tape for insulating motors, coils and
transformers in 1997, with major customers in Europe, the U.S. and Canada.

YEAR 2000

Until recently, computer programs were written to store only two digits of date-
related information in order to more efficiently handle and store data.  As a
result, these programs were unable to properly distinguish between the year 1900
and the year 2000.  This is frequently referred to as the "Year 2000 Problem."
The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be adversely
impacted by Year 2000 software failures.

The Company began addressing Year 2000 compliance in early 1995 in conjunction
with the implementation of a new management information system at Spinnaker
Coating, a task which was successfully completed in 1996.  The system
implementation, which provided improved functionality and internal processing,
was necessitated to transition from the former parent's information system.

Central Products is in the process of implementing a new information system 
with significantly improved functionality which the Company believes will 
also address the Year 2000 computer program issues.  The Company expects the 
implementation project to be completed by the end of 1998.

                                  Page 12 of 16
<PAGE>

In the second half of 1998, the Company's industrial equipment manufacturer,
Entoleter, Inc., will begin the process of defining, assessing and converting or
replacing, various programs hardware and instrumentation systems to make them
Year 2000 compatible.  The Company does not expect the Year 2000 compliance to
have a significant effect on operations, nor does it expect the cost to be
material to the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial
position.

The costs of Year 2000 modifications and the date of completion will be closely
monitored and are based on management's best estimates.  Actual results,
however, could differ from those anticipated.
