                            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, 2000, and the results of operations and cash
          flows for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

          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 7,067,122 and 7,164,547 in the
          third quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 7,114,708 and
          7,166,873 for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
          respectively.

Note 2    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
          accounts of PVC Container Corporation and its wholly-owned
          subsidiaries, Novatec Plastics Corporation, Marpac Industries, Inc.,
          Airopak Corporation 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, 2000 and 1999 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 $728,000 and
          $2,630,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
          respectively. In addition, during the three months ended March 31,
          2000, the Company reduced its obligations under these loans by $3.7
          million without affecting cash.

                                                                              6

        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, 2000 increased by 9.9% to
$25,781,000 as compared to $23,459,000 for the three-month period ended March
31, 1999. For the nine months ended March 31, 2000 sales increased by 11.5% to
$67,777,000 compared to $60,774,000 for the nine month period ended March 31,
1999. Demand in the Novatec Plastics operation and bottle operations increased
by 14.1% and 8.9% respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2000.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $20,318,000 or
78.8% of net sales compared to $16,764,000 or 71.5% of net sales for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. For the nine months ended March 31, 2000 cost of
goods sold was $53,906,000 or 79.5% of net sales as compared to $46,412,000 or
76.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 1999. Margins in the bottle operations
were adversely affected by the underabsorption of overhead expense and raw
material costs. Novatec Plastics margins were significantly affected by the
rapidly rising plastic resin prices.

Selling. General and Administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased by $199,000 for
the three month period ended March 31, 2000 and by $980,000 for the nine month
period ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the same period a year ago. For the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, SG&A expenses were $2,655,000 or 10.3% of net
sales, as compared to $2,456,000 or 10.5% of net sales for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999. For the nine months ended March 31, 2000, SG&A expenses were
$7,469,000 or 11.0% of net sales compared to $6,490,000 or 10.7% of net sales
for the nine month period ended March 31, 1999. This increase is mainly
attributable to the increase in personnel costs for the quarter and nine months
ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the same period last year reflecting the
Company's additional administrative and sales and marketing personnel necessary
to support the Company's desire to grow its business. Additionally, the Company
has incurred additional rental costs resulting from its relocation of the
executive and administrative functions resulting from the sale of its
manufacturing and office facility in Eatontown, New Jersey.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to a level of $1,805,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $1,900,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2000,
depreciation and amortization expense were $5,218,000 as compared to $5,329,000
for the nine month period ended March 31, 1999. The primary cause for the
reduction during the quarter and nine month period ended March 31, 2000 is the
effect of certain manufacturing assets becoming fully depreciated in the current
fiscal year.

The Company recorded a $400,000 pre-tax charge to income for restructuring
related to the closure and expected loss on the sale of its Ardmore, Oklahoma
manufacturing facility as well as severance and other exit costs relating to
this facility.

Income from operations decreased $1,735,000 during the three-month period ended
March 31, 2000 as compared to the same period a year ago. For the three-month
period ended March 31, 2000, Income from operations was $604,000 or 2.3% of net
sales, as compared to $2,339,000 or 10.0% of net sales for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. Income from operations for the nine-month period ended
March 31, 2000 decreased to $785,000 or 1.2% of net sales as compared to
$2,544,000 or 4.2% of net sales for the nine month period ended March 31, 1999.
The decrease in operating income is primarily the result of lower operating
margins, lower plant utilization, higher unabsorbed factory overhead increases
in raw material costs and restructuring charge during the nine month period
ended March 31, 2000.


                                                                               8

Net income (loss) for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 decreased to $(3,000) or
$(.00) on a diluted earnings per share basis as compared to $1,046,000 or $.15
on a diluted earnings per share basis for the same period a year ago. For the
nine months ended March 31, 2000 net income (loss) increased to $(735,000) or
$(.10) on a diluted earnings per share basis as compared to $606,000 or $.09 on
a diluted earnings per share basis for the nine month period ended March 31,
1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCE

The Company's liquidity position and working capital remained adequate for the
nine-month period ended March 31, 2000. Net working capital as at March 31, 2000
increased $1,222,000 to $14,872,000 compared to $13,650,000 as at June 30, 1999.
The current ratio of assets to liabilities increased from 1.7 to 1.8 at March
31, 2000 primarily attributable to the recognition of an income tax benefit
associated with the Company's net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2000.

During the nine month period ended March 31, 2000, the Company generated
$122,000 from operating activities, $4,263,000 from the sale of our facility
located in Eatontown, NJ, and $3,925,000 from proceeds from additional long term
debt. These funds were primarily used to acquire capital assets of $1,847,000
and reduce long term debt by $6,972,000.

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 working capital and capital needs in the foreseeable
future. At March 31, 2000, the Company had unused sources of liquidity
consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $317,000 and the availability of the
unused credit under a revolving credit facility of $1,100,000.

The Company's building located at 401 Industrial Way West, Eatontown, New
Jersey, which was previously classified as Asset Held for Sale, was sold in
December 1999 at approximately $173,000 less than book value of the property.
This loss on the sale is reflected in Other Income (Expense) in the March 31,
2000 Consolidated Statement of Operations.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Although the date is now past January 1, 2000, we have not experienced an

cannot provide assurance that we or our suppliers and customers have not been
affected in a manner that is not yet apparent. As a result, we will continue to
