                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.                The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
         statements of Atlantis Plastics, Inc. ("Atlantis" or the "Company"),
         which are for interim periods, do not include all disclosures provided
         in the annual consolidated financial statements. These unaudited
         consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
         the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto
         contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
         ended December 31, 1996 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission. The December 31, 1996 balance sheet, included herein, was
         derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
         disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

                  Atlantis Plastic Films accounts for approximately two-thirds
         of the Company's net sales and produces stretch films (multilayer
         plastic films that are used principally to wrap pallets of materials
         for shipping or storage) and custom film products which include
         high-grade laminating films, embossed films, and specialty film
         products targeted primarily to industrial and packaging markets.

                  Atlantis Molded Plastics accounts for approximately one-third
         of the Company's net sales and employs two principal technologies: (i)
         injection molded thermoplastic parts that are sold primarily to
         original equipment manufacturers and used in major household
         appliances, agricultural, and automotive products, and (ii) a variety
         of extruded plastic parts for trim and functional applications (profile
         extrusion) that are incorporated into a broad range of consumer and
         commercial products such as recreational vehicles, residential windows
         and doors, office furniture, and retail store fixtures. Plastic
         Containers, Inc. ("PCI"), the Company's manufacturer of blow molded
         milk, juice, water and industrial containers, was sold in November
         1996. See Note 4 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
         information regarding the fourth quarter 1996 disposition of PCI.

                  All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
         eliminated. Certain amounts included in prior period financial
         statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period
         presentation.

2.               In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
         consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of
         a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the
         financial statements. The results of operations for the six months
         ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the full year.

3.               Net income (loss) per common share was computed by dividing
         net income (loss), after deducting dividends applicable to preferred
         stock for 1996, by the weighted average number of shares and dilutive
         share equivalents outstanding during the period. Fully diluted net
         income (loss) per common share is substantially equivalent to primary
         net income (loss) per common share.

4.               As previously disclosed, during the fourth quarter of 1996
         the Company completed the following transactions, generating a total
         pretax gain of $6.7 million: (i) in November, the Company sold PCI for
         approximately $8.3 million, generating a pretax gain of approximately
         $1.4 million, and an after tax gain of approximately $1.9 million, (ii)
         in December, the Company sold its Tulsa custom manufacturing facility


                                       4
<PAGE>

         for $1.5 million, generating a pretax gain of approximately $350,000,
         and an after tax gain of approximately $210,000, and (iii) also during
         December, the Company sold its investment in WinsLoew Furniture, Inc. 
         stock to WinsLoew for approximately $9.3 million, generating a pretax 
         gain of approximately $4.9 million, and an after tax gain of 
         approximately $2.9 million.

5.                During the first quarter of 1997, the Company recorded
         impairment of long-lived assets and other restructuring charges of
         approximately $1.0 million, or $586,000 after taxes, related to: (i)
         the closing of the Company's Nashville, Tennessee injection molding
         facility, including approximately $250,000 in non-cash charges for the
         write-down of fixed assets and leasehold improvements associated with
         that facility, and (ii) restructuring expenses associated with recently
         announced management changes in the Company's stretch film unit.

6.                Covenants relating to the Company's 11% Senior Notes
         indebtedness restrict the Company from taking certain actions unless
         specified interest coverage ratio and other tests are met. The
         Company's 1997 decline in operating profitability caused it to fall
         below the interest coverage ratio requirement for the trailing four
         quarters ended June 30, 1997. Accordingly, the Company cannot pay
         dividends or repurchase stock, and its ability to incur new debt or
         take certain other actions is restricted in certain respects until it
         is again able to meet the interest coverage ratio requirement on a
         trailing four quarters basis. Two of the Company's lenders also agreed
         to amend certain financial covenants in order to maintain compliance as
         of June 30, 1997.

7.                In November 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the
         repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of Atlantis Class A common stock,
         or 14% of the 7.1 million Class A and Class B common stock then
         outstanding. In January 1997, the Company issued a mandatory conversion
         notice to the holder of the 20,000 outstanding shares of the Company's
         Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"). The Preferred
         Stock was convertible into 210,244 shares of Class A common stock.
         After issuing the mandatory conversion notice, the Company reached an
         agreement with the Preferred Stock holder to repurchase all of the
         common shares resulting from the conversion notice for $2 million (the
         original price paid for the Preferred Stock by the holder), and
         completed the repurchase in late March, 1997.

                  Through March 1997 the Company had repurchased 320,344 shares
         (including the 210,244 common shares issued in connection with the
         conversion of Preferred Stock, as described above), and options for
         55,125 shares, for total consideration of approximately $3.3 million.
         The Company has suspended its share buyback program for the reasons
         discussed above in Note 6.

8.                In February 1997, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" and
         SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure" were
         issued. SFAS No. 128 specifies the computation, presentation, and
         disclosure requirements for Earnings Per Share ("EPS"), and is designed
         to improve the EPS information provided in financial statements by
         simplifying the existing computational guidelines, revising the
         disclosure requirements, and increasing the comparability of EPS data
         on an international basis. The Company has not yet determined the
         effect on operating results of implementing SFAS 128, however, the
         adoption of this statement is not expected to have a materially adverse
         effect on consolidated financial position. SFAS No. 129 consolidates
         the existing requirements to disclose certain information about an
         entity's capital structure, and is not expected to change the Company's
         current capital structure disclosures. SFAS 128 and 129 must be
         implemented no later than fiscal year 1997.

                                       5
<PAGE>


                 In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
         Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise
         and Related Information" were issued. SFAS No. 130 establishes
         standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
         components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The
         purpose of reporting comprehensive income is to present a measure of
         all changes in equity that result from recognized transactions and
         other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners
         in their capacity as owners. The FASB believes that SFAS No. 130 should
         help investors, creditors, and others in assessing an enterprise's
         activities and the timing and magnitude of its future cash flows. SFAS
         No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public businesses report
         information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
         requires that those enterprises report selected information about
         operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders.
         It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products
         and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company has
         not yet determined the effect on operating results of implementing SFAS
         130, however, the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
         materially adverse effect on consolidated financial position. The
         Company has not yet determined the impact of SFAS 131 on its future
         disclosures. SFAS 130 and 131 must be implemented no later than fiscal
         year 1998.

</TABLE>

(a) Amounts exclude the effects of the first quarter 1997 impairment of
long-lived assets and restructuring charges, which totaled approximately $1
million for the Company. Including these charges, the Plastic Films, Molded
Plastics, and Total Operating Income percentages for the first quarter of 1997
are 2%, 5%, and 3%, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company's second quarter and year-to-date 1997 sales of $65.6
million and $129.9 million, respectively, were below last year's sales for the
same periods. Excluding sales related to the 1996 disposition of PCI, net sales
in the first half of 1997 increased by $1.5 million. PCI contributed second
quarter and first half 1996 sales of $3.4 million and $6.5 million, respectively
(see Note 4 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information on the sale of PCI). Excluding these amounts, second quarter and
year-to-date 1997 Atlantis Molded Plastics sales of $17.4 million and $36.0
million, respectively, were $3.0 million and $3.8 million below last year's
sales for the same periods primarily due to a temporary drop in injection
molding sales during the second quarter related to the closing of the Nashville
facility (discussed below), combined with lower sales of appliance components.

                                       7
<PAGE>


         Atlantis Plastic Films' second quarter and year-to-date 1997 net sales
totaled $48.2 million and $93.9 million, respectively, increasing 3% and 6%,
respectively, compared to last year's sales for the same periods, due to an
increase in film volume combined with higher average custom film selling prices.

         The Company's second quarter and year-to-date 1997 gross profit as a
percentage of sales decreased to 14%, compared to 18% for the same periods
during 1996, primarily due to continued margin pressures within the stretch film
unit resulting from extremely competitive market forces.

         The Atlantis Plastic Films second quarter and year-to-date 1997 gross
profit percentages equaled 13%, compared to last year's percentages of
approximately 17%. Stretch film gross profit continued to be adversely impacted
by intense price competition resulting primarily from industry wide over
capacity. Efforts to improve the future profitability of this unit include the
second half 1996 introduction of three new machine wrap stretch films which have
been well received in the marketplace, the appointment of a new vice president
and general manager in May, 1997 (see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements), and continued cost reductions in the areas of production and
overhead expense.

         The Atlantis Molded Plastics second quarter and year-to-date 1997 gross
profit percentages equaled 17%, compared to 20% and 19%, respectively, for the
same periods last year. In the profile extrusion unit for the second quarter and
year-to-date periods, gross margins declined slightly compared to the same
periods in 1996. Injection molding gross profits decreased in the second quarter
of 1997 primarily due to the decline in injection molding sales discussed above.

         The Company's second quarter and year-to-date 1997 selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $6.4 million (10% of sales) and $12.9
million (10% of sales), respectively, compared to 10% of sales and 11% of sales,
respectively, for the same periods during 1996. The 1997 SG&A expenses cited
above exclude restructuring charges of approximately $1.0 million incurred
during the first quarter of 1997, described below. Excluding 1996 SG&A expenses
associated with PCI, these amounts represented a savings of $574,000 and $1.3
million, respectively, compared with the SG&A expenses for the second quarter
and year-to-date 1996 periods, primarily due to the various cost reduction
programs initiated by the Company during 1995 and 1996.

         First quarter 1997 impairment of long-lived assets and other
restructuring charges equaled approximately $1.0 million, or $586,000 after
taxes, related to: (i) the closing of the Company's Nashville, Tennessee
injection molding facility, including approximately $250,000 in non-cash charges
for the write-down of fixed assets and leasehold improvements associated with
that facility, and (ii) restructuring expenses associated with recently
announced management changes in the Company's stretch film unit.

         Regarding the closing of the Nashville facility, Atlantis' injection
molding unit was recently awarded $6.2 million in new business by Whirlpool
Corporation, a major, long-term customer. Partly in connection with this award,
Atlantis closed its Nashville injection molding facility due to a shift in
Whirlpool and other customer business away from the Nashville area, and due to
productivity improvements which have increased manufacturing capacity in the
Company's other injection molding facilities. The Company transitioned the
majority of its Nashville business to its other injection molding facilities
during the second quarter of 1997.

          Second quarter and year-to-date 1997 net interest expense equaled $2.9
million and $5.7 million, respectively, lower than the $3.2 million and $6.5
million, respectively, in net interest expense for the same periods last year,
due to reduced debt levels during the first half of 1997. The Company's
effective tax rates differed from the applicable statutory rates during the
first half of 1997 and 1996 primarily due to nondeductible goodwill
amortization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's working capital at June 30, 1997 totaled approximately
$32.4 million (including cash and equivalents of $5.0 million), compared to
$36.4 million (including cash and equivalents of $15.9 million) at December 31,
1996. On June 30, 1997, there were no borrowings on the Company's revolving
credit facility. Unused availability, net of outstanding letters of credit of
approximately $1.5 million, equaled $28.5 million.

         Covenants relating to the Company's 11% Senior Notes restrict the
Company from taking certain actions unless specified interest coverage ratio and
other tests are met. As more fully described in Note 6, the Company did not meet
the interest coverage ratio requirement for the trailing four quarters ended
June 30, 1997, and two of the Company's lenders agreed to amend certain
financial covenants in order to maintain compliance as of June 30, 1997. Also,
see Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information
regarding the Company's common stock repurchase program.

         The Company's principal needs for liquidity, on both a short- and
long-term basis, relate to working capital (principally accounts receivable and
inventories), debt service, and capital expenditures. The Company presently does
not have any material commitments for future capital expenditures, and expects
to meet its short- and long-term liquidity needs with cash on hand, funds
generated from operations, and funds available under its revolving credit
facility.

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

         In the first six months of 1997, net cash used in operating activities
was approximately $3.0 million, compared to cash provided by operations of $3.0
million for the same period last year. Accounts receivable decreased by $638,000
during the first half of 1997 primarily due to a decline in injection molding
sales related to the Nashville facility closing and lower second quarter sales
of appliance components. Inventories increased by $2.0 million primarily due to
lower than normal year-end 1996 film inventories.

         Accounts payable and accrued expenses at June 30, 1997 decreased by
$4.5 million compared to the 1996 year-end balance due to: (i) incentive
compensation payments during the first quarter of 1997 related to 1996 operating
results, (ii) payable reductions related to the closing of the Nashville
facility, and (iii) 1997 tax payments related to 1996 taxable income.

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

         Net cash used in investing activities during the first six months of
1997, consisting of capital expenditures, equaled $3.7 million compared to
capital expenditures of $2.0 million for the same period last year.

CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

         Net cash used in financing activities for the first half of 1997 was
$4.2 million, compared to $1.2 million during the first six months of 1996. Cash
was used during 1997 to repurchase approximately $3.0 million of common stock
(see Note 7 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements), with the balance
used for principal payments on long-term debt.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This Form 10-Q document contains certain forward-looking statements
which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, raw
material costs and the ability to pass price increases on to customers in a
timely fashion, industry overcapacity, product acceptance, technological changes
which could alter the demand for product or adversely impact the competitive
cost of production, etc. All forward-looking statements should be considered in
light of these risks and uncertainties.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In February 1997, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" and SFAS No. 129,
"Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure" were issued. SFAS No. 128
specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for
Earnings Per Share ("EPS"), and is designed to improve the EPS information
provided in financial statements by simplifying the existing computational
guidelines, revising the disclosure requirements, and increasing the
comparability of EPS data on an international basis. The Company has not yet
determined the effect on operating results of implementing SFAS 128, however,
the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a materially adverse
effect on consolidated financial position. SFAS No. 129 consolidates the
existing requirements to disclose certain information about an entity's capital
structure and is not expected to change the Company's current capital structure
disclosures. SFAS 128 and 129 must be implemented no later than fiscal year
1997.

         In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS
No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
were issued. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The purpose of reporting comprehensive income is to
present a measure of all changes in equity that result from recognized
transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions
with owners in their capacity as owners. The FASB believes that SFAS No. 130
should help investors, creditors, and others in assessing an enterprise's
activities and the timing and magnitude of its future cash flows. SFAS No. 131
establishes standards for the way that public businesses report information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for
related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major
customers. The Company has not yet determined the effect on operating results of
implementing SFAS 130, however, the adoption of this statement is not expected
to have a materially adverse effect on consolidated financial position. The
Company has not yet determined the impact of SFAS 131 on its future disclosures.
SFAS 130 and 131 must be implemented no later than fiscal year 1998.
