                            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 consolidated financial
        position as of September 30, 1999, and the consolidated results of
        operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended September
        30, 1999 and 1998.

        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.

        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 7,038,705 for the three month periods
        ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.

Note 2  The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of
        PVC Container Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Novatec
        Plastics Corporation, Marpac Industries, Inc., 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
        three months ended September 30, 1998 was the effect of certain noncash
        financing activities related to the $2.5 million and $7.3 million loans
        obtained by the Company from GE Capital in March 1998 and June 1998,
        respectively, 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 Company in April 1996. Capital expenditures in
        connection with these agreements totaled approximately $1,540,000 for
        the three months ended September 30, 1998.


                                                                               6

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three month period ended September 30, 1999 were $20,926,000
as compared to $18,613,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 1998,
representing approximately a 12.4% increase. The increase was due primarily to
higher sales in the Company's Novatec Plastics segment, as well as the inclusion
of three full months of sales activity in fiscal 2000 for Marpac Industries,
Inc., ("Marpac") as compared to only one month in fiscal 1999. Marpac
Industries, Inc. was acquired in September 1998.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $16,547,000
or 79.1% of net sales as compared to $15,430,000 or 82.9% of net sales for the
three months ended September 30, 1998. The dollar increase is reflective of the
higher sales activity while the percentage decrease is attributable to improved
utilization and overhead absorption primarily at the Company's Hazleton,
Pennsylvania plant. During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company
incurred significant transition costs related to the start-up of that plant.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased by $347,000 in
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the same period in the prior year.
For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, SG&A expenses were $2,278,000 or 10.9%
of net sales, as compared to $1,931,000 or 10.4% of net sales for the quarter
ended September 30, 1998. SG&A expenses increased due to the recent acquisition
and increased personnel necessary to support the Company's desire to grow its
business.

Depreciation and Amortization expense increased to a level of $1,771,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $1,611,000 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1998. This increase is primarily attributed to
the acquisition of Marpac.

Income from Operations increased $689,000 during the three month period ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period a year ago. For the three
month period ended September 30, 1999, Income from Operations was $330,000 or
1.6% of net sales, as compared to a loss of $359,000 or 1.9% of net sales for
the three month period ended September 30, 1998. The increase in operating
income is principally the result of improved operating margins as compared to
the same period last year when the Company incurred higher than anticipated
start-up expenses at its new manufacturing facility in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.


                                                                               8
<PAGE>   9
Interest expense increased $140,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to the same quarter last year. The increase is attributable to the
additional debt in conjunction with the financing of the Company's acquisition
of Marpac.

Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was $169,000 or $.02 per share
as compared to a loss of $480,000 or $.07 per share for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity and working capital increased and remained adequate for
the three month period ended September 30, 1999. Working capital at September
30, 1999 increased $2,100,000 to $15,740,000 compared to $13,640,000 as of June
30, 1999. The current ratio of assets to liabilities increased slightly from 1.7
to 1.9. A decrease in amounts owed to suppliers was the primary reason for the
change in working capital.

For the three month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company generated
$2,325,000 in proceeds from long term debt. These funds were primarily used to
acquire capital assets of $1,018,000, finance working capital and operations for
$887,000 and reduce long term debt by $1,109,000.

The Company's short term liquidity and short term capital resources are adequate
for timely payment to trade and other creditors. The Company's sources of credit
are sufficient to meet its working capital and capital needs in the foreseeable
future. At September 30, 1999, the Company had unused sources of liquidity
consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $95,000 and the availability of the
unused credit under a revolving credit facility of $2,700,000.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer-controlled systems using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. For example, computer
programs that have time sensitive software may recognize a date ending in "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in system failure
or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities.

During fiscal 1998, the Company began a program to upgrade its computer software
and hardware which is expected to be completed in calendar 1999, prior to any
anticipated impact on its operating systems. A significant portion of the costs
related to this program are included in the June 30, 1998 audited financial
statements. The Company believes that with these upgrades for its computer
systems, the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems.
However, if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not
completed timely, the Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the
operations of the Company.


                                                                               9
<PAGE>   10
The Company is continuing to contact all of its significant suppliers and large
customers to determine the extent to which the Company's interface systems are
vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000
issues. There can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which
the Company's systems rely will be timely converted and will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's systems.
