TREDEGAR INDUSTRIES, INC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements of Tredegar Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Tredegar")
contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material
respects, Tredegar's consolidated financial position as of March 31,
1996, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. All such
adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
Tredegar's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1995. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.
2. On March 29, 1996, Tredegar sold all of the outstanding capital stock
of its injection molding subsidiary, Tredegar Molded Products Company,
including Polestar Plastics Manufacturing Company (together "Molded
Products"), to Precise Technology, Inc. ("Precise") for cash
consideration of $57.5 million. In addition, Tredegar received
unregistered cumulative redeemable preferred stock of Precise with a
face amount of $2.5 million, which is not currently marketable.
Dividends on the preferred stock are payable quarterly at an annual
rate of 7% beginning June 30, 1996. The preferred stock is redeemable
in full on March 29, 2007 or earlier upon the occurrence of certain
events. Both dividends and redemption are subordinated to other
outstanding debt of Precise.
No value has been assigned by Tredegar to the preferred stock received
from Precise due to the uncertainty of redemption. Consistent
therewith, dividend income on such stock will not be recognized by
Tredegar until received.
Proceeds from the sale of Molded Products will be invested in cash
equivalents until other opportunities, in existing businesses or
elsewhere, are identified.
Tredegar recognized a gain of $19.9 million ($13.7 million after
income taxes) on the sale of Molded Products in the first quarter of
1996. The gain was partially offset by a first-quarter charge of $9.1
million ($5.7 million after income tax benefits) related to an
anticipated loss on Tredegar's divestiture of Brudi, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (together "Brudi"), which is expected to occur during the
second quarter of 1996. The Brudi charge includes a $1 million loss
accrued for payments remaining under a noncompetition and secrecy
agreement entered into when Tredegar acquired Brudi on April 1, 1991.
As of March 31, 1996, Brudi had net assets of $18.2 million (stated at
estimated proceeds from expected disposal less cost to sell).
Additional information on the sales and operating results for Molded
Products and Brudi is provided in Note 3 on page 6 and the segment
tables on page 9.

The pro forma operating results presented above assume that Tredegar
sold Molded Products and Brudi at the beginning of the periods shown
and invested related after-tax proceeds of approximately $48 million
and $21 million, respectively, in cash equivalents. The pro forma
financial information is unaudited and does not purport to be
indicative of the future results or financial position of Tredegar or
the net income and financial position that would actually have been
attained had the divestitures occurred on the dates or for the period
indicated.

The decline in inventory during the period is due primarily to the
sale of Molded Products on March 29, 1996,and the classification in
current assets at March 31, 1996, of the net assets of Brudi expected
to be sold during the second quarter of 1996 (see Note 2 on page 5).
5. Interest payments (net of amount capitalized) for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were $20,000 and $84,000, respectively.
Income tax payments (net) for the three months ended March 31, 1996
and 1995 were $700,000 and $1.8 million, respectively.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Results of Operations
First Quarter 1996 Compared with First Quarter 1995
Net income for the first quarter of 1996 was $16.3 million or $1.27 per
share, up from $4.4 million or 33 cents per share in the first quarter of 1995.
Unusual items recognized in the first quarter of 1996 affecting the
comparability of operating results include a gain of $19.9 million ($13.7
million after income taxes) on the sale of Molded Products on March 29, 1996,
partially offset by a charge of $9.1 million ($5.7 million after income tax
benefits) related to an anticipated loss on Tredegar's divestiture of Brudi,
which is expected to occur during the second quarter of 1996 (see Note 2 on page
5 and Note 3 on page 6). Unusual items recognized in the first quarter of 1995
affecting the comparability of operating results include a charge of $2.4
million ($1.6 million after income tax benefits) for the restructuring of APPX
Software and a recovery of $1.75 million ($1.1 million after income taxes)
related to a final judgment in connection with a Film Products product liability
lawsuit.
Net income excluding unusual items for the first quarter of 1996 was $8.3
million or 64 cents per share, up from $4.9 million or 36 cents per share in the
first quarter of 1995. The improved results were driven primarily by higher
volume in domestic and foreign disposable films (mainly films used in personal
hygiene products), and cost reductions and quality improvements in Aluminum
Extrusions.
First-quarter net sales decreased by 6.4% in 1996 due primarily to lower
selling prices, reflecting lower plastic resin and aluminum costs, and lower
volume in Aluminum Extrusions, partially offset by higher volume of disposable
films.
The gross profit margin during the first quarter of 1996 increased to 19.6%
from 15.3% in 1995 due to higher disposable films volume and lower plastic resin
costs in Film Products, cost reductions and quality improvements in Aluminum
Extrusions, and improved profitability at Brudi and Molded Products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million or
9.7% due primarily to cost reductions at APPX Software and Molded Products and
lower bad debt expenses and sales commissions in Aluminum Extrusions, partially
offset by selling, general and administrative expenses from the plastics films
business acquired in Argentina in March 1995.
Research and development expenses increased by $459,000 or 23.3% due to
higher product development spending at Film Products and higher spending at
Molecumetics.
Interest expense declined due to lower revolving credit facility fees and
slightly lower average debt outstanding.
The effective tax rate excluding unusual items declined to 36.1% from 37.2%
due primarily to a lower effective state income tax rate from proportionally
higher domestic income in states with lower tax rates, a reduction of certain
losses not deductible for state income tax purposes and proportionally higher
foreign income.

Notes to Segment Tables:
(a) Includes a pretax gain recognized in the first quarter of 1996 on the
sale of Molded Products and a recovery recognized in the first quarter
of 1995 related to a final judgment in connection with a Film Products
product liability lawsuit (see Note 2 on page 5 and Note 3 on page 6)
(b) Represents a pretax charge for the anticipated loss on Tredegar's
divestiture of Brudi, which is expected to occur during the second
quarter of 1996 (see Note 2 on page 5 and Note 3 on page 6).
(c) Represents a pretax charge for the restructuring of APPX Software (see
Note 3 on page 6).
(d) See Note 3 on page 6 for historical and pro forma net income and
earnings per common and dilutive common equivalent share adjusted for
unusual items affecting the comparability of operating results and the
pro forma effects of the Molded Products sale and the expected
divestiture of Brudi.
Sales in Film Products decreased during the first quarter of 1996 due
to lower selling prices, reflecting lower plastic resin costs, partially offset
by higher volume in domestic and foreign disposable films. Operating profit
improved in Film Products due to higher disposable films volume and lower resin
costs, partially offset by startup costs associated with nonwoven film laminate
(cloth-like) backsheet production. Sales also declined in Molded Products and
Fiberlux, reflecting lower selling prices and raw material costs, while
operating profits and margins improved.
Sales in Aluminum Extrusions declined during the first quarter of 1996
by 11.1% due to lower volume (down 7.1%) and lower selling prices, which
reflected lower aluminum costs. Operating profit increased by $1.3 million or
37.2% due to higher margins resulting from lower aluminum costs, sales
commissions and bad debt expenses and quality improvements. Brudi sales declined
while operating profit improved due to lower bad debt expenses and higher
margins.
Ongoing Technology segment losses declined by $410,000 during the first
quarter of 1996 due to the restructuring of APPX Software, partially offset by
higher research and development spending at Molecumetics.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Tredegar's total assets increased to $328.1 million at March 31, 1996,
from $314.1 million at December 31, 1995, due to the sale of Molded Products for
cash consideration of $57.5 million, which was $13.3 million greater than the
book value of its assets at December 31, 1995. Accounts payable, accrued
expenses, deferred income taxes and other noncurrent liabilities declined from
December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996, due to the sale of Molded Products and the
classification in current assets at March 31, 1996, of the net assets of Brudi
expected to be sold during the second quarter of 1996. Income taxes payable of
$6.9 million primarily reflects the income taxes due on the gain from the sale
of Molded Products, which are expected to paid by June 15, 1996.
Debt at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, consisted of a $35
million, 7.2% note maturing in June 2003 (annual principal payments of $5
million will begin in June 1997). At March 31, 1996, Tredegar had cash and cash
equivalents in excess of debt of $28.7 million, compared to net debt (debt in
excess of cash and cash equivalents) of $32.9 million at December 31, 1995.
<PAGE>
Net cash provided by operating activities in excess of capital
expenditures and dividends increased to $7.4 million in the first quarter of
1996 from $2.1 million in 1995 due to improved operating results and the timing
of income tax payments (including income taxes due on the gain from the sale of
Molded Products), partially offset by higher capital expenditures. For the
quarter ended March 31, 1996, capital expenditures of $7.8 million exceeded
depreciation and prior-period capital expenditures by $1.8 million and $3.9
million, respectively, due to capital additions for new nonwoven film laminate
capacity, expansion of permeable film capacity in Europe and Brazil, and the
initial phases of a modernization program to upgrade certain areas of the
aluminum extrusions facility in Newnan, Georgia. Approximately $4.2 million is
expected to be spent on the Newnan program in 1996 and 1997, most of which will
occur in 1996.
The $7.4 million of excess cash generated during the first quarter of
1996 combined with the $2.1 million cash and cash equivalents balance at
December 31, 1995, the proceeds from the sale of Molded Products ($54 million
after transaction costs) and cash from property disposals and other sources
($200,000), resulted in a $63.7 million cash and cash equivalents balance at
March 31, 1996.

or more during the first quarter ended March 31, 1995, and therefore
were excluded from the computation of earnings per common and dilutive
common equivalent share reported in the consolidated statements of
income for that period.
(2) Computed using the average market price during the related period.
