                          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, 1995.

(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
     April 30, 1996, and 1995 were 4,906,366 and 7,388,895 respectively.
     The number of shares used in such computation for the six months
     ended April 30, 1996, and 1995 were 4,930,639 and 7,380,616
     respectively.

     During 1995 and 1996, the Company acquired 2,801,000 shares of its
     own common stock, the purchase of which has been reflected in the
     computation of earnings per share on the basis of the weighted
     shares outstanding.  Had the shares been purchased at the beginning
     of Fiscal 1995 and had the debt, the proceeds from which the
     purchase was  made, been outstanding since that date, earnings per
     share for the three months and six months ended April 30, 1995 would
     have been increased by $.09 and $.21 per share respectively.

(3)  INVENTORIES

     Inventories are comprised of the following:

                            April 30, 1996  October 31, 1995
                            --------------  ----------------
        Raw Materials         $ 6,498,000     $ 8,010,000
        Finished Goods         13,866,000      11,380,000
        Supplies                  631,000         631,000
                            --------------  ----------------
                              $20,995,000     $20,021,000
                            --------------  ----------------

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

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
APRIL 30, 1995

NET SALES AND GROSS PROFIT

Net sales during the second quarter ended April 30, 1996, decreased 4% or
$2,526,000 to $55,347,000 compared to the same period in the prior year.  This
decrease in net sales is a result of a 27% decrease in unit selling prices
partially offset by a 31% increase in sales volume.

The Company's gross profit for the second quarter of Fiscal 1996 amounted to
$15,097,000, a 19% increase from $12,709,000 in the prior fiscal year.  The
gross profit improvement resulted from the 31% increase in sales volume, which
reduced per unit manufacturing costs, which was offset by increases in raw
material costs combined with additional manufacturing costs of approximately
$550,000 incurred by the simultaneous start-up of the Company's Pennsylvania
facility and close down of its New Jersey plant.  The Company increased its
total plant manufacturing capacity by 17% from the same quarter in the prior
fiscal year, and such plants operated at 74% of total  capacity.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses for the second quarter ended April 30, 1996 increased by
$1,309,000 to $9,371,000 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal
year.  This 16% increase can be primarily attributed to the 31% increase in
sales volume during the period which resulted in increased selling, delivery and
warehousing costs of approximately $750,000. Additional costs of approximately
$250,000 were incurred during the period in the relocation of inventory from the
Company's New Jersey warehouse to its new facility in Pennsylvania. The increase
general and administrative expenses for the current period can be primarily
attributed to the amortization of loan fees attributable to the Company's new
credit facilities entered into in Fiscal 1995.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the three months ended April 30, 1996, amounted to
$1,748,000, an increase of $1,323,000 from the same period in the prior year.
This increase in interest expense is due to the Company's new credit facility,
which replaced existing credit facilities and was used to finance the purchase
of shares of Common Stock for its treasury from its stockholders and its Chief
Executive Officer. These purchases were completed during the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 1995

OTHER INCOME

Other income for the three months ended April 30, 1996 amounted to $27,000. The
amount includes $12,000 in gains on sale of machinery and equipment and $15,000
of interest income earned for the period on corporate investments.

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1995

NET SALES AND GROSS PROFIT

Net sales for the six months ended April 30, 1996 were $110,591,000, an decrease
of $6,443000 or 6% under the same period in the prior year.  This decrease in
net sales is primarily the result of a 22% decrease in unit selling prices
offset by a 21% increase in sales volume.

The gross profit for the current six month period increased by $2,487,000 or 9%
to $31,332,000.  The improvement in gross profit is primarily attributed to the
21% increase in sales volume offset by

                                        6

<PAGE>

additional manufacturing costs relating to the start-up of the Company's
Pennsylvania facility and close down of its New Jersey plant.  The Company
increased its total plant manufacturing capacity by 34% during the current six
month period when compared to the same period in the prior year.  The Company
operated its plants at 73% of its capacity during the current period as compared
with 78% in the same period in the prior year.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses for the current period increased 8%, or $1,392,000, to
$18,617,000 as compared to the same period in 1995.  This increase can be
attributed to the 21% increase in the Company's sales volume for the period
which resulted in increased sales commissions earned and shipping and
warehousing charges incurred during the period. In addition the general and
administrative expenses increased during the period can be directly  attributed
to amortization of loan fees in connection with the Company's new credit
facilities entered into in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1995.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the six months ended April 30, 1996, amounted to
$3,637,000, an increase of $2,809,000 from the same period in the prior year.
This increase in interest expense is due to the Company's new credit facility,
which replaced existing credit facilities and was used to finance the purchase
of shares of Common Stock for its treasury from its stockholders and its Chief
Executive Officer. These purchases were completed during the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 1995.

OTHER INCOME

Other income for the six months ended April 30, 1996 amounted to $139,000. The
amount includes $56,000 in gains on sale of machinery and equipment and $83,000
of interest and dividend income earned for the period on corporate investments.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital amounted to $24,976,000 at April 30, 1996, as 
compared to $15,030,000 at October 31, 1995.  The increase in working capital 
of $9,946,000 at April 30, 1996 can be primarily attributed to the reduction 
in accounts payable which was funded by internally generated cash flow and 
increased long-term debt.  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 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 for its newly constructed facility in Wright Township, Pennsylvania
and believes that this borrowing combined with internally generated cash flow
plus the availability of the Company's credit facilities are sufficient to meet
its normal and additional capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

     AMENDMENT NO.1 dated as of October 20, 1995 between:  AEP INDUSTRIES INC.
(the "COMPANY"), the lenders party thereto (the "LENDERS"), THE CHASE MANHATTAN
BANK (NATIONAL ASSOCIATION), as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such

     The Company, the Lenders and the Agents are parties to a Credit Agreement
dated as of August 3, 1995 (as heretofore modified and supplemented and in
effect on the date hereof, the "CREDIT AGREEMENT"), providing, subject to the
terms and conditions thereof, for credit facilities by the Lenders to the
Company in an aggregate principal or face amount of $140,000,000.  The Company
has requested that the Lenders modify Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement to
authorize the granting of certain liens upon its property in Mountain Top,
Pennsylvania and that the Lenders waive the conditions under Section 6.03 of the
Credit Agreement with respect to such property.  Accordingly, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1.  DEFINITIONS.  Except as otherwise defined in this Amendment
No. 1, terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein.

     Section 2.  AMENDMENTS.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent specified in Section 5 below, but effective as of the date hereof, the
Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

     A.  References in the Credit Agreement (including references to the Credit
Agreement as amended hereby) to "this Agreement" (and indirect references such
as "hereunder", "hereby", "herein" and "hereof") shall be deemed to be
references to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

     B.  Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting
the word "and" at the end of clause (g) thereof, (ii) changing the period at the
end of clause (h) thereof to a semicolon and (iii) inserting a new clause (i) at
the end of said Section 8.06 to read as follows:

           "(i)  Liens upon real and/or personal Property located at the
     Company's facility at Crestwood Industrial Park, Mountain Top,
     Pennsylvania (as identified in Schedule IV hereto) securing the Loans
     permitted under Section 8.07(e) hereof."

     Section 3.  WAIVER.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent specified in Section 5 below, but effective as of the date hereof, the
Lenders hereby agree to waive satisfaction by the Company of the conditions
under Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement relating to the real Property located
at Crestwood Industrial Park, Mountain Top, Pennsylvania (as identified in
Schedule IV thereto) (the "PENNSYLVANIA PROPERTY"); PROVIDED that, if the loans
permitted under Section 8.07(e) of the Credit Agreement from the Pennsylvania
Industrial Development Authority and the Pennsylvania Department of Commerce
Sunny Day Loan Fund shall not be secured by a mortgage Lien on the Pennsylvania
Property, the Company shall, within 30 days following such failure to so secure
such loans, comply with each of such conditions under said Section 6.03 with
respect to the Pennsylvania Property.

     Section 4.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  The Company hereby represents
and warrants to the Lenders and the Agents that (a) the representations and
warranties in Section 7 of the Credit Agreement are true and correct on the date
hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof and as if each reference in said
Section 7 to "this Agreement" included reference to this Amendment No. 1 and (b)
no Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.
