SPINNAKER INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       Basis of Presentation

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

On July 30,  1999 and August  10,  1999,  the  Company  completed  the sale (the
"Industrial Tape Sale") of its two industrial tape units,  Spinnaker  Electrical
("Spinnaker  Electrical")  and Central Products  Company  ("Central  Products"),
respectively,  and which  together  comprised its  industrial  tape segment,  to
Intertape  Polymer  Group,  Inc.  ("Intertape").  As  a  result,  the  Company's
industrial  tape segment is being  reported as a  discontinued  operation in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United States for interim  financial  information  and with the  instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information  and footnotes  required by accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion
of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals)
considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been  included.  Operating
results for the periods ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative
of the results  that may be expected for the year ended  December 31, 2000.  For
further  information,   refer  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and
footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1999.

2.       Acquisitions

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 Common Stock. As
additional  consideration for the shares of capital stock of Spinnaker  Coating,
the  minority   shareholders   received  the  right  to  a  contingent   payment
("Contingent Value Rights" or "CVRs").

On May 4, 2000,  the  Company  through  its  subsidiary,  Spinnaker  Electrical,
acquired  all of the  CVRs  held  by the  former  minority  ownership  group  of
Spinnaker Coating for $500,000 in cash. Accordingly,  the contingent payment was
recorded as an addition to goodwill.

3.   Inventories

Substantially  all inventory  values are valued using a specific  identification
method with the  remaining  inventories  valued  using the  first-in,  first-out
method (FIFO).  Inventories  consist of the following at September 30, 2000, and
December 31, 1999:

4.       Long-term debt and working capital revolver

On October 23, 1996, the Company issued $115 million aggregate  principal amount
of 10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes (the "Senior  Notes") due 2006. The Senior Notes
are  redeemable,  in whole or in part,  at the option of the Company on or after
October 15, 2001,  at redemption  prices  beginning at 105.375% of the principal
amount and declining  each year  thereafter  to 100% of the principal  amount on
October 15, 2005, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to the Industrial Tape
Sale,   Spinnaker  Coating,   Central  Products  and  Entoleter   ("Guarantors")
unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Notes, jointly and severally. Terms of the
indenture  obligated  the Company to use the  proceeds  from the sale of Central
Products  to  permanently  reduce   indebtedness  or  invest  in  its  remaining
businesses.

Since the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company  utilized the Restricted  Proceeds
to purchase  approximately $63.9 million (par value) of outstanding Senior Notes
on the open  market  at an  average  price of 82.9%,  plus  accrued  and  unpaid
interest.  The  Restricted  Proceeds  were fully  utilized  for the Senior  Note
purchases and capital expenditures, and all obligations under the Indenture were
satisfied relating to the use of sale proceeds.


The  following  is a summary of long term debt of the Company at  September  30,
2000, and December 31, 1999:

</TABLE>


The Company  also  maintains  short-term  lines of credit with banks for working
capital needs at each  subsidiary.  In connection with the Industrial Tape Sale,
the Company's  revolving credit facility (the "Spinnaker  Credit  Facility") was
refinanced  and the  aggregate  facility was  decreased  from $60 million to $40
million.  Credit  availability under the Spinnaker 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 is charged an unused line of
credit  fee every  month  based on an annual  rate of  0.375%.  All  outstanding
borrowings  under the  Spinnaker  Credit  Facility  bear  interest  at the prime
interest  rate plus 1.00% or LIBOR (London  Interbank  Offered Rate) plus 2.50%.
For the  three-month  and  nine-month  periods  ended  September  30, 2000,  the
weighted average interest rate for the facility's  borrowings was  approximately
9%. As of  September  30, 2000,  the Company  carried  approximately  85% of the
outstanding  Spinnaker Credit Facility  borrowings in LIBOR  instruments.  As of
September 30, 2000,  the Company had  outstanding  cash advances  totaling $23.6
million and available  borrowings  of $5.8 million  under the  Spinnaker  Credit
Facility.

<PAGE>

In  conjunction  with the  acquisition of the Spinnaker  Coating-Maine  business
("Coating-Maine"), the Company issued a convertible subordinated promissory note
(the  "Coating  Note") to the seller with an original  principal  amount of $7.0
million,  bearing payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest at 10% per annum. The Note is
convertible  for shares of 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's PIK feature allowed the Company to pay
the  first  year's  interest  payment  by  issuing  an  additional  subordinated
convertible  note having  similar terms;  in the future,  interest is payable in
cash  provided the Company is not in default,  after giving pro forma effect for
the payment, of covenants under the Spinnaker Credit Facility. If the Company is
prohibited  from paying  interest due in cash,  the Company will continue to PIK
the interest owed. Principal payments were due on March 31, 1999 and 2000 if the
Company was not in default of covenants under the Spinnaker  Credit Facility and
had  availability  in excess of $15 million under the Spinnaker  Credit Facility
after giving  effect for the  payment.  The Company was  prohibited  from making
those  principal  payments  due to  insufficient  pro  forma  availability.  The
outstanding  principal  is  considered  due  on  demand,  however,  it is  still
restricted  under the conditions  described  above.  In any event,  the Note and
remaining unpaid interest will mature on January 31, 2002.

Proceeds  from the sale of Central  Products  were used to  satisfy  transaction
costs and repay  approximately  $18.2  million of the working  capital  revolver
debt.

Proceeds from the sale of Spinnaker Electrical, an unrestricted subsidiary, were
used to repay  approximately  $6.9  million  of term  debt and  working  capital
revolver  debt  collateralized  by  the  assets  of  Spinnaker  Electrical.  The
remaining  net proceeds of  approximately  $15 million are available for general
purposes,  which may  include  purchasing  additional  Senior  Notes in the open
market.  Other options  include  acquisitions,  capital  expenditures to support
remaining subsidiaries, and/or repurchase shares of the Company's Common Stock.

5.       Earnings per share

As of September  30, 2000,  there were  outstanding  options to purchase  20,000
shares  of  Class A  Common  Stock  and  Common  Stock  for $40 per  share,  and
outstanding options to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock for $27 per share.
In  addition,  as of  September  30,  2000,  there were  outstanding  options to
purchase  52,000  shares of Common Stock at prices  ranging  between  $9.0625 to
$13.375 per share,  3,000 of which were  cancelled  during  September  2000 at a
price of $13.375 per option.

Shares related to these options were not included in the  computation of diluted
earnings per share for the periods ended  September 30, 2000 or 1999 because the
effect would be antidilutive.

<PAGE>

6.       Discontinued operations

On April 9, 1999,  the Company  entered into a definitive  agreement to sell its
industrial  tape  businesses  to Intertape  for  approximately  $105 million and
five-year  warrants to purchase  300,000  shares of Intertape  common stock (New
York Stock  Exchange  Symbol  "ITP") at an  exercise  price of $29.50 per share.
Accordingly,  operating  results  of  the  industrial  tape  segment  have  been
reclassified  as  discontinued  operations  in the  accompanying  statements  of
consolidated operations.

The sale of the Spinnaker  Electrical and Central Products assets closed on July
30, 1999 and August 10, 1999,  respectively.  The Company recorded pre-tax gains
from the sales of  approximately  $27 million.  The Company offset a substantial
portion  of the cash  tax  liability  by  utilizing  net  operating  loss  carry
forwards.  The net  proceeds  from the sale of Central  Products,  a  restricted
subsidiary,  were used to repurchase a total of approximately $63.9 million (par
value) of outstanding Senior Notes.

The Company has restated its prior financial statements to present the operating
results  of  the  industrial  tape  segment  as a  discontinued  operation.  The
industrial  tape segment net sales were $10.7  million and $69.5 million for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999,  respectively,  and $69.5
million,  $121.8  million and $119.7 million for fiscal years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

General  corporate  office  expenses  related  to  finance  and   administrative
functions  including  public  company  compliance  reporting,  bank and investor
relations,   taxes  other  than  income  taxes  and  holding  company   payroll,
historically  allocated and charged to the industrial tape segment were reversed
and allocated back to continuing operations.  These expenses were not considered
to be directly attributed to discontinued operations. Expenses allocated back to
continuing  operations  totaled  $0.2  million and $1.0 million in the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999.

Interest expense  attributed to the Senior Notes and related deferred  financing
has  historically  been allocated based on the pro rata share of subsidiary debt
obligations  retired with the proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes, to
total debt obligations retired. The Senior Note proceeds were used to extinguish
certain  outstanding  term and revolver  obligations  in October 1996.  Interest
expenses  charged to the  discontinued  industrial tape segment totaled $900,000
and $5.2 million in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999.

Interest  expense  from  continuing  operations  is subject  to certain  matters
associated  with the use of the net proceeds from the sales of Central  Products
and Spinnaker Electrical,  including retirement of senior debt or investments in
Permitted  Businesses  as defined  under the  Indenture.  As a result,  interest
expense,  as presented on a historical  basis, may not necessarily be indicative
of  interest  expense  of  continuing  operations  for the three and  nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1999.

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

Results of Continuing Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2000,  compared to three months ended September
30, 1999

Net sales

The  Company's  net sales for the quarter  ended  September  30, 2000 were $37.3
million,  compared  to $41.8  million  in the  corresponding  1999  period.  The
decrease  is  primarily   attributable  to  an  extremely   competitive  pricing
environment  resulting  in lower  average  selling  prices  and  volumes  in the
Company's general purpose pressure-sensitive products. Additionally, as compared
to the same  period  in 1999,  lower  sales are the  result  of a joint  venture
entered into to outsource the manufacturing and sales of non-pressure  sensitive
product lines in the fourth  quarter of 1999.  Offsetting  these declines is the
continued growth in sales of pressure sensitive sheet products,  which increased
by approximately $1.1 million from the corresponding 1999 period.

Gross margin

Gross margin as a percentage  of net sales for the quarter  ended  September 30,
2000 was approximately 4.9%, compared to approximately 9.1% in the corresponding
1999 period.  In terms of dollars and rate,  the decline in the gross margin for
the 2000  period  reflects  the  decline in average  selling  prices  along with
unabsorbed manufacturing costs from the reduction in sales volumes.

Income (loss)  from continuing operations

Loss from  continuing  operations  for the quarter ended  September 30, 2000 was
approximately  $900,000,  compared  to  income  from  continuing  operations  of
approximately  $1.1 million in the corresponding 1999 period. The 2000 operating
results  reflect the lower operating  margins  discussed above while general and
administrative costs were held constant.

Interest expense

Interest  expense,  for the quarter ended  September 30, 2000 was  approximately
$2.4 million compared to $3.2 million in the corresponding 1999 period. Interest
expense  decreased  as a result of the early  retirement  of Senior  Notes  with
proceeds from the Industrial Tape Sale.

Income taxes

The  Company's  third  quarter 2000 income tax rate for federal and state income
taxes reflects an annual effective tax rate of approximately  35% for continuing
operations.

<PAGE>

Nine months ended  September 30, 2000,  compared to nine months ended  September
30, 1999

Net sales

The Company's net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $117.6
million,  compared  to $121.5  million in the  corresponding  1999  period.  The
decrease in net sales for 2000 is attributed to entering into a joint venture to
outsource the manufacturing and sales of non-pressure sensitive product lines in
the  fourth  quarter  of  1999  and  lower  sales  volumes  of  general  purpose
pressure-sensitive  products.  Net sales were also impacted by lower prices from
intense price  competition in the general  purpose and other  pressure-sensitive
products  lines.  Offsetting  these  declines  were  strong  sales  of  pressure
sensitive sheet products, in which volumes increased  approximately 62% over the
comparable 1999 period

Additionally, sales in the Company's Entoleter business declined by $1.1 million
due to continued lower unit pricing, primarily in the Centrimal product line.

Gross margin

Gross  margin as a  percentage  of net sales for the  first  nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000, was approximately 6.8% compared to approximately 8.6% in the
corresponding  1999 period.  The decline in the gross margin for the 2000 period
was primarily due to lower product  volumes and prices,  increased  depreciation
and amortization  associated with capital expenditures used in the manufacturing
process  and an  increase in product  development  costs  related to several new
pressure-sensitive  paper and film products  that were  introduced in the second
and third quarters of 2000.

Income (loss) from continuing operations

Operating  loss from  continuing  operations  for the first  nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000 was  approximately  $1.1  million  compared  to income from
continuing  operations of approximately  $1.8 million in the corresponding  1999
period.  The 2000 operating results  primarily reflect lower operating  margins,
increased  depreciation  and amortization  associated with capital  expenditures
used in the  manufacturing  process,  lower product volumes,  and an increase in
product  development costs. The 2000 operating loss from operations was less due
to lower administrative costs attributed to restructuring efforts, including the
closing of the Dallas corporate office during May 2000.

Interest expense

Interest expense, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was approximately
$8.2 million,  an increase of approximately $.6 million from the comparable 1999
period.  The increase is  attributed to certain  Senior Note  interest  expense,
included in  continuing  operations,  which was  historically  allocated  to the
industrial tape businesses.

Income taxes

The Company's  estimated  annual effective income tax rate for federal and state
income  taxes is  approximately  34% for  continuing  operations  in  2000.  The
estimated  annual  effective  tax rate  varies from  statutory  rates due to the
impact of non-deductible  permanent tax differences on estimated annual earnings
before tax.

The  Company  has about  $2.2  million  of net  operating  loss  carry  forwards
available to offset future  taxable  income in 2000.  These net  operating  loss
carry  forwards  and net  operating  losses  generated  in the current  year are
anticipated to offset a significant  portion of the extraordinary gains realized
in 2000 on the early extinguishment of debt.

<PAGE>

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and capital resources

LIQUIDITY.  As of  November  1,  2000,  the  Company  had  net  availability  of
approximately  $4.6 million  under its  revolving  credit  facility  ("Spinnaker
Credit  Facility").  Additionally,  the Company has approximately $15 million of
cash  from the  sale of the  assets  of  Spinnaker  Electrical,  all of which is
unrestricted  under the Indenture  and  available for general  purposes that may
include  the  repurchase  of  additional   Senior  Notes  in  the  open  market,
acquisitions,  capital  expenditures to support continuing  operations,  and the
repurchase of shares of Spinnaker Common Stock.

The  Spinnaker  Credit  Facility is available to fund  acquisitions  and support
periodic  fluctuations  in  working  capital.   Credit  availability  under  the
Spinnaker Credit Facility is subject to certain variables, such as inventory and
receivables  eligible  to be  included  in the  borrowing  base.  The Company is
charged  an unused  credit  fee every  month of 0.375%  per  annum.  Outstanding
borrowings  bear  interest  at variable  rates  primarily  related to LIBOR.  At
September  30, 2000,  the  effective  interest  rate was  approximately  9%. The
Company  anticipates  having sufficient  availability under the Spinnaker Credit
Facility  along  with  cash  balances  to meet its  interest  obligations.  This
facility expires December 31, 2001.

Cash used in operating  activities for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000
was $4.3  million,  compared to cash  provided by operating  activities  of $5.0
million in the corresponding 1999 period.

Net  proceeds  from  the  sale of  Central  Products  was  available  to  prepay
indebtedness  (other  than  subordinated  debt) of the  Company,  invest  in any
business,   capital  expenditure  or  other  tangible  asset  in  the  Permitted
Businesses,  as defined in the Indenture.  Since the fourth quarter of 1999, the
Company utilized the Restricted Proceeds to purchase approximately $63.9 million
(par value) of  outstanding  Senior Notes on the open market at an average price
of 82.9%, plus accrued and unpaid interest.  The Restricted  Proceeds were fully
utilized for the Senior Note purchases and capital expenditures.

The purchase of Senior Notes has reduced the Senior Note outstanding  borrowings
to approximately $51.1 million,  which reduces the semi-annual  interest payment
to approximately $2.75 million.

In  connection  with  the  Coating-Maine  acquisition,   the  Company  issued  a
promissory  note ("Warren Note") to Warren in the original  principal  amount of
$7.0 million.  The Warren Note bears interest at the rate of 10%, and included a
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 Warren Note.
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 Spinnaker 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 Spinnaker Credit Facility and Senior Notes. The Warren Note matures on
January 31, 2002,  however,  it can be prepaid earlier if certain  conditions or
events occur.


<PAGE>


CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company budgeted capital expenditures of approximately $2
to $2.5  million for 2000.  Capital  expenditures  during the nine months  ended
September 30, 2000 totaled $1.5 million.  The Company  anticipates  that it will
have sufficient cash flow from operations and  availability  under the Spinnaker
Credit Facility to fund its commitments for such capital expenditures in 2000.

Other

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, issuance of
Spinnaker common stock and a right to a contingent  payment  ("Contingent  Value
Rights" or "CVRs").

On May 4, 2000,  the Company,  through  Spinnaker  Electrical,  acquired all the
Contingent Value Rights held by the former minority ownership group of Spinnaker
Coating for $500,000 in cash.  Accordingly,  the contingent payment was recorded
as an addition to goodwill.

The  Company  has  approximately  $51.1  million  of Senior  Notes  with a fixed
interest rate and  approximately  $23.6 million of revolving credit debt with an
interest rate that fluctuates  with the market.  An increase or decrease of 0.5%
in the  revolver  interest  rate would  impact  interest  expense  approximately
$118,000 annually.
