                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The financial information included herein has been prepared by the
     Company without audit, for filing with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission pursuant to the rules and regulations of said Commission.
     The financial information presented herein, while not necessarily
     indicative of results to be expected for the year, reflects all
     adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) which in
     the opinion of the Company are necessary for a fair presentation of
     the results for the periods indicated.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
     financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been omitted.  It is suggested that these
     financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
     statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
     to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994.

     AEP adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105
     "Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity Securities" during the quarter
     ended January 31, 1995.  Adoption of this Standard did not have a
     material affect on the Company's financial position or results of
     operations.  Prior periods have not been restated to reflect this
     Standard.

(2)  NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

     Net income per share of common stock is calculated using the weighted
     average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
     (stock options) outstanding during each period.  The number of shares
     used in such computation for the three months ended January 31, 1995,
     and 1994 were 7,371,628 and 7,320,217, respectively.

     The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to price
     substantially all of the raw materials and finished goods inventory.

(4)  SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY

     The Company's Board of Directors declared a 3-for-2 stock split effected in
     the form of a dividend for shareholders of record on December 30, 1993,
     effective January 11, 1994.  The effect of this split has been
     retroactively reflected in the financial statements and notes thereto
     including all appropriate share and per share amounts.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES AND GROSS PROFIT

Net sales during the first quarter ended January 31, 1995 were $58,687,000, an
increase of $19,579,000 or 50% over the same period in the prior year.  This
increase in net sales is a result of a 9% increase in sales volume combined with
a 32% increase in unit selling prices.

The first quarter Fiscal 1995 gross profit increased by $3,888,000 or 32% to
$16,136,000.  The gross profit margin was 28% for the three months ended
January 31, 1995 as compared to 31% for the first three months of the prior
fiscal year.  The decline in gross profit margin is primarily attributed to
increased raw material costs, which were passed through to customers on a dollar
for dollar basis, but at a sacrifice to the maintenance of traditional margins.
Start-up costs associated with the Company's Midwest plant also contributed to
gross margin decline.  These increased costs were partially offset by improved
plant efficiencies which resulted in reductions in per unit labor and overhead
costs.  The Company increased the plants manufacturing capacity by 17% during
the fiscal quarter.  The Company operated its plants at 83% of capacity in both
the current and prior year's first quarters.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 1995 increased by 16%
to $9,163,000 over the same period in the prior fiscal year.  This increase of
$1,262,000 can be attributed to the 9% increase in sales volume during the
period which resulted in increased sales commissions earned and delivery charges
incurred during the period.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the period increased by $60,000 to $403,000 representing a
17% increase from the same period in the prior year.  This increase was
attributable to a increase in the average debt outstanding during the quarter
ended January 31, 1995.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income for the three months ended January 31, 1995 amounted to $63,000.
This amount includes gains on sales of machinery and equipment of $53,000 and
$10,000 of interest income earned for the period on corporate investments.  In
the prior fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1994, other income amounted to
$248,000 which included gains on sales of machinery and equipment of $230,000
and interest income of $18,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital amounted to $19,506,000 at January 31, 1995, as
compared to $20,592,000 at October 31, 1994.  The decrease of $1,086,000 in
working capital is attributed to the Company's investments in machinery and
equipment and reduction in long term debt.  These capital expenditures were
funded by internally generated cash flow combined with a reduction in current
working capital.  The remaining increases and decreases in components of the
Company's financial position reflect normal operating activity.

The Company's future capital requirements relate principally to the construction
of its new facility in Wright Township, Pennsylvania, purchasing new equipment
for this facility, upgrading existing equipment and facilities, and promoting
new and existing products in the polyethylene film market.  The Company will
receive financing from the State of Pennsylvania to partially fund the
construction of the facility and believes that this borrowing combined with
internally generated cash flow plus availability of the Company's credit
facilities are sufficient to meet its normal and additional capital requirements
for the foreseeable future.
