(profile extrusion) that are incorporated into a broad range of consumer and
commercial products such as recreational vehicles, residential windows and
doors, office furniture, building supplies, and retail store fixtures.

net sales for the first three months of 2000 totaled $20.9 million, or 14%
higher than last year's first quarter sales of $18.3 million due primarily to
strong volume in the appliance sector and new business. First quarter 2000
Atlantis Plastic Film sales of $43.6 million were 7% above last year's sales for
the same period, due to higher average selling prices resulting from increases
in polyethylene resin prices. After a strong month of March 2000, sales volume
in the films segment (measured in pounds) for the first quarter of 2000 was 6%
below volume for the comparable year earlier period. In its Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1999, the Company had reported a decline in films volume
of 9% for the first two months of 2000 compared with the first two months of
1999.

         The Company's first quarter gross profit margins decreased from 21% in
1999 to 17% in 2000. Atlantis Plastics Films gross profit margins decreased from
22% in 1999 to 15% in 2000 largely due to increased polyethylene resin prices
and lower sales volume.

         Atlantis Molded Plastics first quarter gross margins increased from 18%
in 1999 to 21% in 2000, primarily due to continued improvements in operational
efficiencies, reduced scrap rates, and reduced overhead, as well as increased
volume at the Company's injection molding plants.

         Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $6.5
million for the first quarter of 1999 compared to $6.6 million for the same
period this year. This increase is primarily attributable to increased
depreciation associated with the Company's new distribution, accounting, and
resource planning system installed to date in 9 of 13 locations.

         First quarter net interest expense of $2.5 million was 8% higher than
$2.3 million incurred during the same period, 1999. This increase was a result
of increased borrowing on the Company's revolving credit facility. Effective
income tax rates differed from applicable statutory rates in both 2000 and 1999,
primarily due to nondeductible goodwill amortization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's working capital at March 31, 2000 totaled approximately
$26.0 million (including cash and cash equivalents of $2.1 million), compared to
$24.7 million (including cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million) at December
31, 1999. At March 31, 2000, borrowings on the Company's $20 million revolving
credit facility were $8 million and unused availability, net of outstanding
letters of credit of approximately $1.3 million, equaled $10.7 million. The
present credit agreement was renewed effective May 12, 2000 at a principal
amount of $25 million and expires November 12, 2000. Interest is computed using
either LIBOR or prime-based rates plus a margin. The LIBOR and prime-based rates
are determined by a formula based upon the Company's ratio of cash flow to net
indebtedness. Had the renewed agreement been in effect on March 31, 2000, the
LIBOR and prime rate margins would have been 2.25% and 0.50% respectively.

         The Company's new 120" five layer cast extrusion line presently is
being assembled and tested in the Sapulpa, OK stretch film facility and its new
coextrusion line for custom films is being manufactured. Atlantis expects to
sign a lease in the second quarter of 2000 and start preparing its new West
Coast facility for production.

         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 (see above). The Company
expects to fund the above capital expenditure requirements as well as its short
and long-term liquidity needs with cash on hand, funds generated from
operations, and funds available under its revolving credit facility. In March
2000 Atlantis announced that it is exploring alternatives which would allow it
to refinance its long term debt including its 11% Senior Notes due February
2003.

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

         In the first three months of 2000, net cash provided by operating
activities was approximately $2.1 million, compared to $5.6 million for the same
period last year. Accounts receivable increased $536,000 during the first
quarter of 2000 due to higher sales during the month of March 2000 compared to
December 1999. Other current assets decreased by $2.1 million during the first
quarter primarily due to payments received on resin rebates receivable
outstanding at the end of 1999.

         Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $3.0 million in the
first quarter of 2000 compared to an increase of $1.3 million in the first
quarter of 1999. This decrease is primarily timing differences in payments of
normal operating expenses and taxes.

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

         Net cash used in investing activities during the first three months of
both 2000 and 1999 consisted of capital expenditures totaling $2.9 million.

CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

         Net cash provided by financing activities for the first three months of
2000 was $465,000, compared to cash used in financing activities of $171,000
during this period last year. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options
equaled $191,000 during the first three months of 2000, compared to $357,000
during the same period in 1999. Common stock repurchases totaled $146,000 in
2000 compared with no repurchases during the 1st quarter, 1999. Net borrowings
on the Company's revolving credit facility were $900,000 in the 1st quarter,
2000 compared with no borrowings in the first three months, 1999.

                                    AGREEMENT

         This EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT to CREDIT AGREEMENT ("Amendment") is dated as
of May 12, 2000 and is entered into by and between ATLANTIS PLASTICS, INC.
("Borrower"), Heller Financial, Inc., in its capacity as Agent for the Lenders
party to the Credit Agreement described below ("Agent"), and the Lenders which
are signatories hereto.

         WHEREAS, Agent, Lenders and Borrower are parties to a certain Credit
Agreement dated February 23, 1993 (as such agreement has from time to time been
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement as hereinafter set
forth.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements
set forth in the Agreement and this Amendment, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         1. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment, unless
otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement.

         2. AMENDMENTS. Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Agreement
is amended as follows:

                  (a) Subsection 1.1 is hereby amended by adding the following
definition to subsection 1.1 in its appropriate place:

                  "Eighteenth Amendment Effective Date" means May 12, 2000."

                  (b) Subsection 2.1 (A) is amended by deleting the first
paragraph of subsection 2.1 (A) in its entirety and inserting the following in
lieu thereof:

                  "REVOLVING LOAN. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
                  Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and
                  warranties of Borrower herein set forth, each Lender agrees to
                  lend to Borrower from time to time during the period from the
                  Eighteenth Amendment Effective Date to and excluding the
                  Expiry Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan. The
                  aggregate amount of all Revolving Loan Commitments shall be
                  $25,000,000, as reduced from time to time pursuant to
                  subsection 2.4. Amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1(A)
                  may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the Expiry
                  Date. No Lender shall have any obligation to make advances
                  under this subsection 2.1(A) to the extent any requested
                  advance would cause the principal balance of the Revolving
                  Loans then outstanding to exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan
                  Amount; provided that Lenders may, in

                  their sole discretion, elect from time to time to make Loans
                  in excess of the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount."

amended by deleting the Pricing Table and inserting the following in lieu

                 said date.

                          FOURTH AMENDED REVOLVING NOTE
                          -----------------------------

$25,000,000                                                    Chicago, Illinois
                                                                    May 12, 2000


         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, ATLANTIS PLASTICS, INC., a Florida
corporation ("Borrower"), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of
HELLER FINANCIAL, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Lender"), at the office of
Agent (as defined below) at 500 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60661, or
at such other place as the holder of this Fourth Amended Revolving Note (the
"Revolving Note") may from time to time designate in writing, in lawful money of
the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal
sum of TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($25,000,000), or, if less, the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all advances made to Borrower by Lender pursuant to
subsection 2.1(A) of the Credit Agreement described below, at such times as are
specified there.

         This Revolving Note is one of the Notes referred to in, was executed
and delivered pursuant to, and evidences indebtedness of Borrower incurred
under, that certain Credit Agreement dated as of February 22, 1993 by and among
Borrower, each of the Lenders party thereto from time to time, and Heller
Financial, Inc., in its capacity as Agent for the Lenders (as the same may be
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to
time, the "Credit Agreement"), to which reference is hereby made for a statement
of the terms and conditions under which the loan evidenced hereby was made and
is to be repaid and for a statement of Agent's and Lender's remedies upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default. Capitalized terms used herein but not
otherwise specifically defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in
the Credit Agreement.

         Borrower further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid
principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full at the rate
from time to time applicable to the Revolving Loan as determined in accordance
with the Credit Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay interest on
the outstanding principal balance of this Revolving Note at the rate of interest
applicable following the occurrence of an Event of Default as determined in
accordance with the Credit Agreement.

         Interest on this Revolving Note shall be payable, at the times and from
the dates specified in the Credit Agreement, on the date of any prepayment
hereof, at maturity, whether due by acceleration or otherwise, and as otherwise
provided in the Credit Agreement. From and after the date when the principal
balance hereof becomes due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise,
interest hereon shall be payable on demand. In no contingency or event
whatsoever shall interest charged hereunder, however such interest may be
characterized or computed, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law
which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem
applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that Lender has
received interest hereunder in excess of the highest rate

<PAGE>

applicable hereto, such excess shall be applied in accordance with the terms of
the Credit Agreement.

         The indebtedness evidenced by this Revolving Note is secured pursuant
to the terms of the Loan Documents.

         Borrower hereby waives demand, presentment and protest and notice of
demand, presentment, protest and nonpayment.

         Borrower further agrees, subject only to any limitation imposed by
applicable law, to pay all expenses, including attorneys' fees and legal
expenses, incurred by Borrower in endeavoring to collect any amounts payable
hereunder which are not paid when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

         THIS REVOLVING NOTE HAS BEEN DELIVERED AT CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AND SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL
LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF
ILLINOIS. Whenever possible each provision of this Revolving Note shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Revolving Note shall be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Revolving Note. Whenever in this Revolving
Note reference is made to Agent, Lender or Borrower, such reference shall be
deemed to include, as applicable, a reference to their respective permitted
successors and assigns and in the case of Lender, any financial institution to
which it has sold or assigned all or any part of its interest in the Revolving
Loan or in its commitment to make the Revolving Loan as permitted by the Credit
Agreement. The provisions of this Revolving Note shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of such permitted successors and assigns. Borrower's
successors and assigns shall include, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or
debtor in possession of or for Borrower.

         This Revolving Note is issued in substitution for and replacement of,
but not in payment of, the Revolving Note of Borrower dated November 12, 1999,
payable to the order of Lender in the original principal amount of $20,000,000.
