                            PVC Container Corporation

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1      In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated
            financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
            normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
            financial position as of March 31, 1998, and the results of
            operations and cash flows for the nine month periods ended March 31,
            1998 and 1997.

            While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are
            adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested
            that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
            with the financial statements and the notes included in the
            Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

            In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
            of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share.
            Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully
            diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per
            share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share
            excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible
            securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the
            previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings
            per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where
            necessary, restated to conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

            Diluted earnings per share are based on the average number of common
            shares outstanding during each period, assuming exercise of all
            stock options having exercise prices less than the average market
            price of the common stock using the treasury stock method. Common
            stock and common stock equivalents amounted to 7,078,565 and
            7,004,705 in the third quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively, and
            7,018,535 and 6,984,112 for the nine month periods ended March 31,
            1998 and 1997, respectively.

Note 2      The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of PVC
            Container Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Novatec
            Plastics Corporation, Novapak Corporation, Airopak Corporation
            ("Airopak") and PVC Container International Sales Corporation, a
            foreign sales company incorporated in the U.S. Virgin Islands on
            March 1, 1993. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated.

Note 3      Excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine
            months ended March 31, 1998 is the effect of certain noncash
            financing activities related to the $3.5 million loan from GE
            Capital obtained by the Company in April 1997 and the $5.5 million
            South Carolina EDA loan obtained by the


                                                                               6

            Company in April 1996. Capital expenditures in connection with these
            agreements totaled approximately $3,482,000 and $2,932,000 for the
            nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

            The purchase price for the business acquired (Note 5) in March 1998

Note 6      On May 5, 1998, the Company announced that it will move its
            Eatontown, New Jersey blow molding operations to a new $8.4 million
            facility which is currently under construction in Hazleton,
            Pennsylvania. The Company expects to obtain approximately $8.4
            million of financing through the issuance of Industrial Development
            Bonds and other state and local government instruments. Management
            expects that the new facility will be fully operational by October
            1, 1998.

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                              Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 increased by 13.1% to
$17,593,000 compared to $15,559,000 for the three month period ended March 31,
1997. For the nine month period ended March 31, 1998, sales increased by 14.9%
to $47,617,000 compared to $41,443,000 for the nine month period ended March 31,
1997. Growth in the Company's PET product lines as well as a general improvement
in the demand for plastic bottles and compounds resulted in the higher revenues
for the current period.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $13,257,000 or
75.3% of net sales as compared to $12,139,000 or 78.0% of net sales for the
three months ended March 31, 1997. For the nine months ended March 31, 1998 cost
of goods sold was $36,428,000 or 76.5% of net sales as compared to $32,718,000
or 78.9% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. Increased
manufacturing efficiencies and lower plastic resin prices resulted in higher
operating margins.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses (SG&A") increased by $320,000 for
the three month period ended March 31, 1998 and by $895,000 for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period a year ago. For the
quarter ended March 31, 1998, SG&A expenses were $1,653,000 or 9.4% of net
sales, as compared to $1,333,000 or 8.6% of net sales for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997. For the nine months ended March 31, 1998, SG&A expenses were
$4,720,000 or 9.9% of net sales as compared to $3,825,000 or 9.2% of net sales
for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997. SG&A expenses have increased to
support the additional marketing expenses to further develop the Company's entry
into the PET market as well as an increase in staffing to support the Company's
business growth.

Depreciation expense increased to $965,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 as compared to $764,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. For the
nine month period ended March 31, 1998, depredation expense was $2,646,000 as
compared to $2,166,000 for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997. This
increase is attributed to additional capital employed at the Company's newly
constructed Walterboro, South Carolina plastic bottle manufacturing facility,
expansion at our Paris, Illinois facility, and purchase of new PET manufacturing
equipment

Income from Operations increased $415,000 during the three month period ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period a year ago. For the three months
ended March 31, 1998, income from operations was $1,718,000 or 9.8% of net sales
as compared to $1,303,000 or 84% of net sales for the three months ended March
31, 1997. Income from Operations for the nine month period ended March 31, 1998
increased by 42.2% to $3,823,000 or 8.0% of net sales as compared to $2,689,000
or 6.5% of net sales for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997. 


                                                                               9

                            PVC CONTAINER CORPORATION

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                              Results of Operations

Higher operating income was primarily the result of improved operating margins
and higher plant utilizations during the nine month period ended March 31, 1998
as compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 1997.

Interest expense increased $96,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and by
$125,000 for the nine month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same
period a year ago. For the quarter ended March 31,1998 interest expense was
$297,000 as compared to $201,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. For the
nine months ended March 31, 1998, interest expense was $754,000 as compared to
$629,000 for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997. This increase is the
result of additional debt associated with the investments made in our new
Walterboro, S.C. manufacturing facility, expansion at our Paris, Illinois
manufacturing facility and new PET production equipment

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased 10.2% to $872,000 or
$.13 on a diluted earnings per share basis as compared to $791,000 or $.11 on a
diluted earnings per share basis for the same period a year ago. For the nine
months ended March 31, 1998, net income increased to $1,868,000 or $.27 on a
diluted earnings per share basis as compared to $1,456,000 or $.21 on a diluted
earnings per share basis for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity and working capital remained adequate for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1998. Net working capital as at March 31, 1998 increased
$1,898,000 to $10,408,000 compared to $8,510,000 as at June 30, 1997. The
current ratio of assets to liabilities decreased from 1.72 to 1.64 as at March
31, 1998, primarily attributed to increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses. A portion of this dilution is associated with the acquisition by the
Company on March 30,1998 of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of
Charter Supply Co., Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of McKechnie Investments,
Inc.). Additionally the Company pre-purchased approximately $575,000 of resins
which is currently reflected in accounts payable as a hedge against resin price
increases. This material will be consumed in production during our next fiscal
quarter.

During the nine month period ended March 31, 1998, the Company generated cash
from operations of $4,078,000 and received proceeds from long-term debt in the
amount of $12,460,000. Cash horn operations and the aforementioned proceeds were
used to acquire $3,175,000 in capital assets, reduce long-term debt by $3,077,00
and acquire the new business for $10,210,000, of which $10,000,000 was financed
with long-term debt, with the balance of the funds coming from cash flow.

The Company's short term liquidity and short term capital resources are adequate
for timely payment of trade and other creditors. The Company's sources of credit
are sufficient to meet working capital and capital needs in the foreseeable
future. At March 31, 1998, the Company had unused sources of liquidity
consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $298,000, unexpended proceeds from
EDA construction loans of $762,000, and the availability of unused credit under
a revolving credit facility of $2,600,000.

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                              Results of Operations

In connection with the recently announced move of the Eatontown, NJ bottle
manufacturing facility to Hazleton, PA, the Company expects to obtain
approximately $8.4 million of financing through the issuance of Industrial
Development Bonds and other state and local government instruments.
