                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

         The financial information for the quarters ended March 31, 1995
         and 1994 is unaudited; however, such information reflects normal
         recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
         necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.

         The results of operations for the interim periods are not
         necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

         The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited
         financial statements; but does not include all disclosures required 
         by generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 2:  Inventories

         Inventories are stated at the lower of Last-in, First-out (LIFO) cost 
         or market.  The composition is as follows:

Note 3:          Notes Payable, Long-Term Debt and Current Maturities Thereof

                 Notes payable represents line of credit borrowings against a
                 $1,500,000 demand line of credit with interest at 1% over the
                 banks reference rate (a total of 10% at March 31, 1995).  The
                 maximum allowable borrowings under the line of credit may not
                 exceed 75% of the eligible accounts receivable.

                 Substantially, all assets of the Company are pledged as
                 collateral for its borrowings.

                 On May 17, 1994 the Company refinanced its $3,350,000
                 Industrial Revenue Bond which now has an adjustable interest
                 rate (4.45% at March 31, 1995).  The interest rate and
                 interest periods are variable.  The 1994 Industrial Bond
                 Series requires the Company to maintain a letter of credit
                 which includes covenants requiring, among other financial
                 covenants, a current ratio ranging from 0.9:1 to 1.0:1 at
                 various dates and tangible net worth of $2,900,000 plus 70% of
                 the net earnings from May 17, 1994 to the date of
                 determination.

                 Future scheduled maturities of long-term debts are due each
                 November 1 as follows (in thousands):

                         PORTAGE INDUSTRIES CORPORATION

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATION





The following represents management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's financial position and
operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial
statements.

Results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared with the
quarter ended March 31, 1994.  

         Net sales for the first quarter of 1995 were $8,133,000, up $501,000
         or 7% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994.  The increase in
         sales was a result of increased business with existing customers in
         extrusion and new business in our light gauge thermoforming division.

         Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased from 11% in the
         first quarter of 1994 to 14% for the same period in 1995.  This
         increase was the result of better mix of higher margin business in
         extrusion and by the additional business in our light gauge
         thermoforming division.  Continued efficiencies and cost-cutting
         measures in manufacturing also contributed to this increase.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter
         increased $134,000 compared to the same period in 1994.  The increase
         was primarily related to commissions on increased sales for the period
         and the addition of a new sales person.

         Interest expense declined $48,000 or 45% from $106,000 in the first
         quarter of 1994 to $58,000 for the same period in 1995.  This decline
         in interest was primarily the result of the Company refinancing its
         Industrial Revenue Bond with more favorable interest rates.

         Primarily as a result of increased sales of higher margin business and
         continued cost control measures, net income for the first quarter of
         1995 was $234,000 or ten cents per share versus $102,000 or four cents
         per share for 1994.





                                                                          Page 7

         Liquidity and Capital Resources
                                        

         The Company's liquidity continues to improve in 1995.  The current
         ratio at March 31, 1995 was 1.19 to 1.0 as compared to 1.15 to 1.0 at
         December 31, 1994.  Working capital increased $293,000 during the
         first quarter of 1995.

         Accounts receivable, which were $3,243,000 at March 31, 1995 and
         $3,026,000 at December 31, 1994 represent 37 days' sales outstanding
         at March 31, 1995 and 27 days' at December 31, 1994.  Sales are
         generally made with 30-day terms, and the Company has stressed the
         importance of effective credit and collection procedures.

         Accounts payable have increased $271,000 primarily due to the increase
         of days sales outstanding in receivables.

         Inventories have increased $473,000 since December 31, 1994, primarily
         due to raw material price increases.
      
         The Company increased its borrowings on the line of credit by $100,000
         during the first quarter of 1995 primarily due to the increase in days
         sales outstanding in receivables and due to capital expenditures made
         in the amount of $205,000.

         The Company's line of credit terms are described in Note 3 to the
         accompanying financial statements.

         The Company has not paid dividends since becoming publicly-held in
         1987.  At the present time management does not expect to pay dividends
         in the foreseeable future, as earnings will be reinvested in the
         business.  Also, as discussed in Note 3 of Notes to Financial
         Statements, a letter of credit agreement, to which the Company is a
         party supporting the Industrial Revenue Bonds, contains certain
         financial covenants which may effectively restrict the payment of
         dividends.  (See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
