TO THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR OF

PLAN AND TRUST
Canton, Massachusetts 02021
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Plymouth Rubber Company Retirement Savings and
Profit Sharing Plan and Trust as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsi-
bility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of
the Plymouth Rubber Company Retirement Savings and Profit Sharing Plan
and Trust as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in its net
assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental material is
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary informa-
tion required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations of the
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974. The supplemental material has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial state-
ments and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND PROFIT SHARING
PLAN AND TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
A. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:
The following description of the Plymouth Rubber Company Retirement
Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the Plan) is provided for
general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the
Plan Agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.
1. General Information
Effective December 1, 1989, Plymouth Rubber Company, Inc. (the
Company), as Plan sponsor, amended a trust which embodied a profit-
sharing plan for the Company. The Plan is a defined contribution
profit-sharing plan for the exclusive benefit of the employees of
the Company and their beneficiaries, enabling participants to save
and invest in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Plan, as
amended, is established under provisions of Section 401(a) and 401
(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and is subject to the provisions
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as
amended. Participants in the Plan may elect to participate in a
tax-deferred savings program offered under the Plan, whereby
contributions are made through payroll deductions.
2. Administration
The Plan is administered by the Company in accordance with the Plan
Agreement. Trustees consist of designated Company directors and
officers. The Plan's recordkeeper is State Street Global Advisors
for the Participant directed funds, and Kimball, Akins and Bigwood
for the Non-Participant directed funds. The Plan's assets are held
in trust by State Street Bank & Trust Company. Expenses for record-
keeping and benefit distributions of the Plan are paid by the
Company.
3. Eligibility
An employee is eligible to participate in the Plan upon the com-
pletion of one year of continuous service with a minimum of 1,000
hours of service and attainment of age 21.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
A. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued):
4. Contributions
Participants may contribute up to 15% of their annual before-tax
compensation, as defined in the Plan Agreement. Before-tax
contributions are limited to the maximum 401(k) contribution
permitted by law. Contributions from the Company are discre-
tionary and are limited to the maximum amount deductible under
the Internal Revenue Code.
5. Vesting
A participant's vested interest in Company-discretionary
contributions, plus actual earnings thereon, is based upon years
of service to the Company as follows:
Vested
Years of Service Percentage
Less than three years 0%
3 years but less than 4 years 10
4 years but less than 5 years 20
5 years or more 100
A participant is always fully vested in his or her voluntary
contributions and earnings thereon.
6. Participant Loans
Participants may borrow amounts not to exceed the lesser of fifty
percent (50%) of the participant's vested account balance, or
$50,000, reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance during
the preceding twelve (12) months. Participants may take up to
two loans in a calendar year, but may not have more than one loan
outstanding at a time. Repayment terms of the loans are determined
by each employee, but generally may not exceed sixty (60) months,
and bear a reasonable rate of interest.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
A. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued):
7. Distributions
Distributions are made to participants or their beneficiaries
upon death, retirement, disability, termination of employment
or financial hardship. If one of the preceding events occur
and the participants' or their beneficiaries' account balance
is in excess of certain limitations, they may elect to have the
Plan continue to administer their account balance.
8. Plan Amendment and Termination
The Company intends to continue the Plan without interruption,
but reserves the right to terminate or amend the Plan. In the
event that the Company terminates the Plan, there shall be
immediate and full vesting for all participants.
9. Change in Participants Investment Options
During 1997, the Plan changed participants investments options
from Pooled Funds to Mutual Funds. Accordingly, the Pooled
Funds were sold and the proceeds were invested in the Mutual
Funds as directed by the participants.
B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
1. Method of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual
basis of accounting.
Purchases and sales of investments are reflected on a trade-date
basis. Gain or loss on sale of investments is computed based
upon the difference between net sales price and ERISA value.
Investments at year end are reported at market value (ERISA
value). ERISA value for investments is determined by adjusting
current year purchases or prior year market value (ERISA value)
to market value at the end of the Plan year. ERISA value is
then used as the basis for all transactions for the following
year.
In accordance with the policy of stating investments at market
value, net unrealized gain or loss on investments for the year
is reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available
for Plan Benefits.
