1.    Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

           The condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 29, 1996 and
      the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash
      flows for the periods ended February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1995 have
      been prepared by the Company, without audit.  In the opinion of
      Management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
      position, results of operations and changes in cash flows at February 29,
      1996 and for the periods presented have been made.

           Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
      that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
      conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
      the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and incorporated by
      reference in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
      ended August 31, 1995.

           The results of operations for the period ended February 29, 1996 are
      not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for
      the full year.

2.    Inventories

3.    Acquisition

           On December 1, 1995, the Company exchanged 51,177 shares of its
      Common Stock and $20,038, having an aggregate value of $1,275,000, for
      all the outstanding capital stock of Alpine Packaging, Inc., a designer
      and manufacturer of specialty corrugated packaging, custom assembled wood
      pallets and technical/military specification packaging in Colorado
      Springs, Colorado.  The Company will issue additional shares of its
      Common Stock to the Alpine shareholders based on the operating results of
      the business acquired, accounted for as a separate entity, for each of
      the years 1995 through 1998.  The Company is continuing the business
      acquired at the same location under a long-term lease.  The acquisition
      was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The Condensed Consolidated
      Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended February 29, 1996
      excludes the non-cash consideration related to the acquisition.

4.    Claims and Contingencies

           Three lawsuits are pending against the Company involving claims of
      sexual discrimination and harassment in which compensatory and punitive
      damages are sought.  The Company is vigorously contesting these lawsuits
      and believes that, consistent with a policy in place for many years, it
      promptly, reasonably and effectively responded to all incidents alleged.
      Other employment related claims are pending before Federal and State
      agencies.

           The Company is also involved in certain legal and administrative
      proceedings, including one with respect to a Superfund site, which may
      result in the Company becoming liable for a portion of certain
      environmental cleanup costs.  With respect to these matters, the Company
      believes that its share of the costs should not be significant.  The
      Company has accrued for its estimated share of the costs resulting from
      the environmental claims.

           In the opinion of Management, the disposition of the employment and
      environmental claims should not have a material adverse effect on the
      Company's financial position.

5.    Reclassification

           Certain amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the
      six months ended February 28, 1995 have been reclassified to be
      consistent with the presentation for the six months ended February 29,
      1996.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 1996
COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 1995

     Net sales for the quarter ended February 29, 1996 were $43.2 million,
representing an increase of $5.3 million, or 14.0%, over the same quarter of
fiscal 1995.  Approximately 49% of the increase in net sales was due to the
acquisitions of the similar businesses of M.Y. Trondex Ltd. in Northampton,
England and Glasgow, Scotland in February 1995 and Alpine Packaging, Inc. in
Colorado Springs, Colorado in December 1995.  The balance of the increase in
net sales was due to increased demand in many of the Company's markets for both
custom molded and integrated materials products.  The sales increase was
achieved despite a reduction in selling prices to most of the Company's custom
molded customers commencing in December 1995 and to severe winter weather that
stopped production at many of the Company's customers' manufacturing
facilities.

     Gross profit for the quarter ended February 29, 1996 was $9.9 million, a
13.0% increase from $8.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  The
gross profit margin decreased to 23.0% from 23.2% primarily as a result of the
lower selling prices which were only partially offset by lower EPS resin costs
and the severe winter weather which resulted in lower productivity at a number
of the Company's manufacturing facilities.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased $849,000 or 16.5% for the
quarter ended February 29, 1996 and increased slightly as a percentage of net
sales to 13.9% compared to 13.6% in the same period of fiscal 1995.  The dollar
increase is due primarily to the expenses added as a result of the acquisition
in February 1995, other increased employee costs and increased professional
fees.

     Interest expense for the quarter ended February 29, 1996 was $686,000
compared to $569,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  The increase of
$117,000, or 20.5%, is due to an increase in long-term debt, most of which
occurred in fiscal 1995, and to higher interest rates throughout the quarter
than in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.

     Income before income taxes for the quarter ended February 29, 1996
increased to $3.3 million from $3.0 million in the same period of fiscal 1995,
an increase of $300,000 or 7.4%.  The provision for income taxes for the
quarter ended February 29, 1996 increased due to the increased income before
income taxes.

     Net income for the quarter ended February 29, 1996 was $2.0 million, an
increase of 8.0% from the $1.8 million earned in the same quarter of fiscal
1995.  The increase was due primarily to the increases in net sales and gross
profit.

     The net sales and net income for the three months ended February 29, 1996
were Company records for a second fiscal quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996
COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1995

     Net sales for the six months ended February 29, 1996 were $90.5 million,
representing an increase of $13.7 million, or 17.8%, over the same period of
fiscal 1995.  The increase is attributable to the same factors as resulted in
the increase for the quarter ended February 29, 1996.  Approximately 42% of the
sales increase was attributable to the M.Y. Trondex Ltd. and Alpine Packaging,
Inc. acquisitions in February 1995 and December 1995, respectively.

     Gross profit for the six months ended February 29, 1996 was $21.9 million,
a 17.9% increase from $18.6 million in the same period of fiscal 1995.  The
gross profit margin for both the first six months of fiscal 1996 and fiscal
1995 was 24.2%.  The gross profit margin remained steady for the six month
period, as the increase in margin during the first fiscal quarter, before
selling prices were lowered, was offset by the decrease in margin during the
second fiscal quarter.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million or 18.3% for
the six months ended February 29, 1996 and increased slightly as a percentage
of net sales to 13.4% compared to 13.3% in the same period of fiscal 1995.  The
dollar increase is due primarily to the expenses added as a result of the
acquisition in February 1995, other increased employee costs and increased
professional fees.

     Interest expense for the six months ended February 29, 1996 was $1.4
million compared to $1.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 1995.  The
increase of $363,000, or 35.2%, is due to the increase in long-term debt and to
slightly higher interest rates during the first six months of fiscal 1996.

     Income before income taxes for the six months ended February 29, 1996
increased to $8.4 million from $7.1 million in the same period of fiscal 1995,
an increase of $1.3 million or 17.7%.  The provision for income taxes for the
six months ended February 29, 1996 increased due to the increased income before
income taxes.

     Net income for the six months ended February 29, 1996 was $5.1 million, an
increase of 18.4% from the $.43 million earned in the same quarter of fiscal
1995.  The increase was due primarily to the increases in net sales and gross
profit.

     The net sales and net income were Company records for a six month period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended
February 29, 1996 amounted to $7.6 million compared to $6.0 million for the
same period in fiscal 1995.  Depreciation and amortization for the same six
month periods amounted to $6.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively.  Because
a substantial portion of cash flow provided from operations results from
depreciation and amortization, the Company believes that its liquidity would
not be adversely affected should a period of reduced earnings occur.


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
     During the six months ended February 29, 1996, the Company's inventories
and accounts payable decrease despite the higher manufacturing activity,
primarily due to the Company maintaining minimum raw material inventory levels
as raw material prices trended lower during the period.  The Company's accounts
receivable increased slightly as a result of the higher sales level during the
period.

     Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment during the six
months ended February 29, 1996 amounted to $9.7, including $433,000 for
environmental equipment.  In December 1995, the Company exchanged 51,177 shares
of its Common Stock and a small amount of cash having an aggregate value of
$1.3 million for all the outstanding capital stock of Alpine Packaging, Inc.
(see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

     Total debt of the Company amounted to $42.4 million at February 29, 1996,
of which $37.8 million was borrowed under a credit agreement with the Company's
principal bank, including $9.0 million out of an available $14.0 million under
a revolving credit agreement.  During the six months ended February 29, 1996,
$3.5 million was borrowed under the above revolving credit agreement.  Total
debt amounted to $41.3 million at August 31, 1995.

     On December 14, 1995, the Company declared its regular semiannual cash
dividend of $.13 per share payable on January 5, 1996 to shareholders of record
on December 26, 1995.  A cash dividend of $.11 per share was paid in January
1996.

     Cash provided by operating activities as supplemented by the amount
available under the bank credit agreement should be sufficient to enable the
Company to continue to fund its operating requirements, capital expenditures
and cash dividends, as well as any payments required to satisfy any claims and
contingencies referred to under Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.  The Company will continue to look for the acquisition of similar
or related businesses.


INFLATION

     The impact of inflation on the Company's financial position and results of
operations has not been significant during the periods discussed.
