              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated financial statements include
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which the Company
considers  necessary  to  present  fairly  the  financial  position,  results of
operations, and cash flows for the interim periods.

The results of operations  for the six-month  period ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The financial  statements have been prepared in accordance with  instructions to
Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for
a fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
For additional  information regarding significant  accounting policies and other
financial data see the Company's December 31, 1995 Form 10-K.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BALANCE SHEET

The Company's  strong  financial  condition and liquidity  continued in the 1996
first half.  Cash and  equivalents  represented  34% of total assets at June 30,
1996  compared  to 32% at  December  31,  1995.  The ratio of current  assets to
current  liabilities  was 3.8 at June 30, 1996  compared to 3.6 at December  31,
1995.

INCOME STATEMENT

Comparison Between Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 1996
and 1995

Net sales  increased  10%  between  the second  quarters  and 8% between the six
months of each year.  The bonded  fibers  segment  posted  higher  sales for the
second quarter in each of its product lines led by tobacco filters.  The plastic
products segment sales growth was led by the Canadian flexible packaging company
with a smaller increase by the plastic extrusion companies.

Investment  income increased 22% between the second quarters and 18% between the
six  months  of  each  year  primarily  as a  result  of  the  higher  level  of
investments, which more than offset slightly lower yields.

Costs and expenses  increased 8% between the second  quarters and 7% between the
six months of each year.  Cost of products  sold  increased at a lower rate than
the sales  increase.  Selling,  research,  administrative  and general  expenses
increased at a somewhat higher rate for the second quarter; however, for the six
months the rate of this increase remained below the sales increase.

The  bonded  fibers  segment  second  quarter   operating   earnings   increased
substantially, recovering from a soft first quarter, to bring six months results
slightly above last year's very strong performance. The plastic products segment
also recorded substantially  increased operating earnings in the second quarter,
continuing its strong first quarter  performance through the six months compared
to the 1995 periods.  Overall performance of the plastic extrusion companies was
very good in the  second  quarter  and six  months,  with  modest  losses in the
Canadian flexible  packaging  company in both periods.  The combination of these
factors produced  consolidated pretax income increases of 34% between the second
quarters and 24% between the six months of each year.


                                       -6-



Income taxes  increased 30% between the second  quarters and 21% between the six
months of each year reflecting the higher level of income  partially offset by a
slightly  lower  estimate of the  effective  tax rate for 1996.  Therefore,  net
income and  related  earnings  per share  increased  by 36% and 35%  between the
second quarters and by 26% between the six months of each year.
