                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
consolidated financial statements.

         Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of products and the passage of

         In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the
interim financial data have been included. Results from operations for the three
month period ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

         For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and the footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1
to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for BPI Packaging Technologies, Inc. (the
"Company") for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the Form 8-K filed on
February 11, 1999 related to the financial restructuring of the Company.

NOTE 2:  FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING

         On January 27, 1999, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with DGJ (the "January 1999
Financing"), whereby the Company agreed to issue and sell to DGJ, and DGJ agreed
to purchase from the Company the following:


         1.   a Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,200,000
              (the "Note");



         2.   a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of up to
              80,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at an
              exercise price of $0.04 per share, exercisable until January
              27, 2009; and


         3.   1,629,930 shares of Series C  Preferred Stock of the Company for
              $100.


         The Note matures on February 1, 2004 or earlier if the Company enters
into a merger agreement, completes a public offering in excess of $10,000,000,
defaults on the payment of interest or sells 50% or more of its shares in the
Company to a stockholder not previously an investor in the Company. The Note has
an interest rate of 6% per annum payable monthly in arrears and is secured by
all assets of the Company. The Note is subordinated to the equipment lease and
the factoring agreement, described below.



                                       5

         In conjunction with the January 1999 Financing, DGJ required certain
members of the Company's management, Ms. Beresford, Mr. Koehlinger, Dr. Nurse,
Dr. Schulz and Mr. Hughes, to invest, in the aggregate, $300,000 in the
Company's warrants. The Common Stock represented by the warrants cannot be
issued until approval for an increase in the Company's authorized shares of
Common Stock is obtained at the next annual meeting of stockholders.


         The shares of the Series C Preferred Stock were purchased by DGJ for an
aggregate purchase price of $100. Some of the rights and restrictions of Series
C Preferred Stock include the following: (i) the holders of Series C Preferred
Stock have no voting rights; provided, however, upon an Event of Default, as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, holders of the Series C Preferred
Stock will be entitled to vote with the holders of the Common Stock as a single
class on each matter submitted to a vote to the Company's stockholders, with
each share of the Series C Preferred Stock having 30 votes per one vote of each
share of Common Stock; (ii) if the Note has been retired in its entirety, the
Company, at its option, may elect to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding
Series C Preferred Stock, at an aggregated redemption price of $100 plus accrued
interest at a rate of 6% per annum commencing on January 27, 1999; and (iii) the
shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are not convertible into shares of Common
Stock.


         In conjunction with the January 1999 Financing, the Company entered
into agreements with most of its unsecured creditors that provided a discounted
payment in February 1999 or a non-interest bearing agreement to pay the entire
balance over a three-year period. The unsecured creditor agreements, together
with the financing referred to above, allowed the Company to restructure trade
notes payable of $584,000 and accounts payable of $6,597,000, or a total of
$7,181,000, compared to $1,874,000 of current accounts payable and $1,426,000 of
long-term debt, or a total of $3,300,000 after refinancing.


         The gain on the restructuring of trade notes payable and accounts
payable was accounted for as an extraordinary item in the Company's Consolidated
Statement of Operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1999. The
creditors who selected the long-term debt agreement are being paid their
balances due over a 36-month period in 36 equal installments with no interest.
The Company was involved in a patent infringement suit and reached a settlement
on January 27, 1999 to pay the balance due of $200,000 as part of the
restructuring of the Company's debt described above.


         A factoring agreement with a company related to DGJ now provides the
Company with $2,000,000 of financing secured by the Company's accounts
receivable and $1,000,000 secured by its inventory. The term for both the
accounts receivable and inventory financing is six months, subject to automatic
renewal unless the Company gives at least 90 days written notice of termination.
Written notice of termination regarding this factoring agreement was given by
the Company on March 30, 1999. The financing bears interest at the prime rate
plus 5% on the outstanding balance on the inventory loan and the prime rate plus
2% on all accounts receivable submitted for financing. The Company may borrow up
to 85% of its qualified accounts receivable and 33% of its qualified inventory.


         The Company's equipment, capital and operating leases are now funded by
a new equipment lease with DGJ. Current obligations of $3,800,000 and accrued
lease obligations of $1,643,000 were retired and $1,679,000 of equipment
previously treated as operating leases was added to the property and equipment
accounts. The new lease carries no debt reduction


                                       6

obligation and is treated as long-term debt. The Company's combined monthly
payments under the retired leases were reduced from approximately $305,000 per
month to $102,000 per month under the new lease agreement with DGJ. The lease
obligation is a ten-year lease with monthly payments of $102,000 representing
interest only. The total principal amount of the lease is $6,800,000 and is due
at the end of the lease term. The lease has been recorded as a capital lease
during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 and will be treated as such in future
periods. The lease requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants,
including, but not limited to, earnings targets and debt-to-equity ratios.


         The note payable, warrants and Series C Preferred Stock purchased by
DGJ for $3,200,200 were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, at an
assumed rate of 14%. Net cash proceeds after fees were assigned to the
various components of this transaction based upon the discounted value of the
note payable at 14%. Of the $3,200,200, $480,000 has been recorded as
additional capital in excess of par value related to the warrants. The Series
C Preferred Stock is determined to have no value separate from the warrants
because it is not convertible to Common Stock and its redemption price is the
same as its purchase price, $100 plus accrued interest at 6% per annum
beginning on January 27, 1999. Also, the Series C Preferred Stock has no
preference in liquidation, although, it has a voting preference. The fair
market value of the Common Stock on January 27, 1999 was $0.28 per share. The
warrants have an exercise price of $0.04 per share.


         Accounts payable long term consists of amounts due to vendors who
selected a 36 month payment plan as part of the Company's financial
restructuring. The payment plan current portion is included in current
liabilities.

NOTE 3:  BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE

         The Company is required to present "basic" and "diluted" earnings per
share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the
denominator includes both the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and potential dilutive common shares outstanding for the period.

         For the periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had recorded
a net loss before extraordinary income. Therefore, basic and diluted earnings
per share are the same due to the anti-dilutive effect of potential common
shares outstanding. Anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the
computation include common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options,
common shares issuable upon the conversion of redeemable convertible preferred
stock or upon the exercise of warrants.

NOTE 6:  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment are recorded at cost, which includes costs of
assets constructed or purchased, related delivery and installation costs and
interest incurred on significant capital projects during their construction and
installation periods. Property under capital leases is recorded at the lower of
the present value of future minimum rental payments or the fair value of


                                       8
<PAGE>

the property at the beginning of the lease term. Maintenance and repairs that do
not extend the useful life of the asset or improve capacity are charged to
expense when incurred. Machinery and equipment are depreciated using the
straight-line method over a period of eleven years. Leasehold improvements
consist of costs relating to buildings and equipment under lease and are
amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the
asset or the remaining life of the lease.

         The carrying value of property and equipment is periodically reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying values may not be recoverable.

NOTE 7:  NOTE PAYABLE

         At December 31, 1998, the Company had a $2,000,000 revolving line of
credit secured by accounts receivable. Borrowings under the line of credit were
subject to 70% of qualifying accounts receivable, less the aggregate amount
utilized under all commercial and standby letters of credit and bank
acceptances. The line of credit bore interest at prime plus 6% (14.5% at
December 31, 1998). In addition, the Company paid 2% interest on all new
invoices submitted for financing. The credit line was for one year and subject
to renewal annually. At December 31, 1998, the balance under the line of credit
was $814,311, which was the maximum available based on the qualifying accounts
receivable. Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Company repaid this note
payable in full in connection with its financial restructuring (Note 2).

         On January 27, 1999, the Company entered into a factoring agreement,
which provides the Company with up to $2,000,000 of financing secured by the
Company's accounts receivables and $1,000,000 secured by its inventory. At March
31, 1999, the balance under this agreement was $1,300,540 (Note 2).

NOTE 9:           RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Ivan J. Hughes, a director of the Company, is the President of the
Plastic's Division, and a director and a member of the Executive and
Compensation Committees of Duro Bag. In January, February, March, April and May,
Duro Bag issued purchase orders for $192,000, $190,335, $209,513, $255,729 and
$0 to the Company to purchase bags for Duro Bag customers. These orders from
Duro Bag represented 18% of sales during the first quarter period ended March
31, 1999. The Company expects similar orders from Duro Bag to those received in
the first four months of 1999 during the remainder of the year. The Company
manufacturers these products on behalf of Duro Bag for its customers. The
Company sells these products on terms as contracted between Duro Bag and its
customers, which terms are equal, if not better, than the Company could obtain
from its other customers for these products.


         In November 1990, the Company established an officer's loan receivable
from Dennis N. Caulfield, its then Chairman for $132,197. The note was amended
in April 1998 and the interest rate changed to 6% effective from November 1990
and is now payable on or before January 1, 2001. Interest on the loan, along
with advances for travel not offset by expense records, caused the loan balance
to equal $586,978 as of December 31, 1997. Mr. Caulfield did not make any
payments against the loan from the period beginning 1990 through December 31,
1997. Accordingly, the Company reserved the full amount of this loan on that
date. Also, no payments were made in 1998. In addition, the Company paid, on
behalf of Mr. Caulfield, approximately $36,000 of a $200,000 personal income tax
levy imposed by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue on Mr. Caulfield in
exchange for an interest bearing note due on or before June 30, 1998, which has
not yet been repaid. This note was reserved for as of March 31, 1999.


         Effective February 26, 1994, Ronald Caulfield exchanged his 49,500
shares of common stock of RC America for 200,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, pursuant to the terms


                                       10
<PAGE>

of a Stock Exchange Agreement by and between the Company and Ronald Caulfield
(the "Exchange Agreement"). The Exchange Agreement also provides for the
issuance to Ronald Caulfield of up to an additional 100,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock over a five year period based on RC America attaining
certain levels of pre-tax earnings. No shares of Common Stock were issued in
1998 or for the 10 month period ended December 31, 1997. As a result of RC
America's earnings for Fiscal Year 1997 and Fiscal Year 1996, 2,649 and 2,550
shares, respectively, of the 100,000 shares of Common Stock were issued to Mr.
Ronald Caulfield. The Exchange Agreement contains demand and piggy-back
registration rights for the shares.


         Four of the Company's directors, Gary R. Edidin, Allen S. Gerrard,
Theodore L. Koenig and Bruce M. Fleisher, are either related to DGJ or have been
designated by DGJ. The financial restructuring described in Note 2 and all other
transactions between the Company and DGJ will be deemed to be related party
transactions due to the relationships of these directors with DGJ. Also, Mr.
Koenig is a partner with the Chicago-based law firm of Holleb & Coff, which is
now providing legal services to the Company.

         In February 1999, the Company borrowed approximately $219,000 from DGJ
to purchase additional pieces of equipment. This loan bears interest at a rate
of 18% per annum and matures in September 1999.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS OR INFORMATION

         This Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed to be
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in this Form 10-Q which address
activities, events and developments that the Company expects or anticipates will
or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures
(including the amount and nature thereof), expansion and other development
trends of industry segments in which the Company is active, business strategy,
expansion and growth of the Company's business and operations and other such
matters are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes the
expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business, a
number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements, whether oral or written, made by or
on behalf of the Company. Many of these factors have previously been identified
in filings of statements made by or on behalf of the Company.

         All phases of the Company's operations are subject to influences
outside its control. Any one, or a combination, of these factors could
materially affect the results of the Company's operations. These factors
include: sales, competition, inflation, raw material price increases, rate of
market penetration for products, new product development and market acceptance,
litigation, interest rate fluctuations, availability of equity financing,
availability of capital and operating lease financing, availability of bank or
other financial institution lines of credit and other capital market conditions.
Forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company are based on a

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         FIRST QUARTER OF 1999 COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1998

         For the first quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company had sales of
$3,340,984 compared to sales of $2,232,897 for the first quarter ended March 31,
1998.

         Sales of the Company's proprietary bag products
(FRESH-SAC-Registered Trademark- T-shirt sack produce bag and HANDI-SAC-TM-
and film products were $2,367,295 in the first quarter of 1999, compared to
sales of $1,989,170 in the first quarter of 1998, an increase of 19%. Sales
of traditional plastic carry-out bags were $973,689 in the first quarter of
1999, compared to sales of $243,727 in the first quarter of 1998, an increase
of 299%.

         In the first quarter of 1999, cost of goods sold was $2,656,164 or
79.5% of sales, compared to $2,233,039, or 100% of sales, in the first quarter
of 1998. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales is due to a
decrease in fixed costs, increased sales volume and a reduction in variable
costs as a percentage of sales. Cost of goods sold would have been approximately
$75,000 greater in the first quarter of 1999 and 1998 had the Company not
recorded a write-down of plant and equipment during the fiscal year ended
February 28, 1997.

         Selling, general and administrative expense for the first quarter of
1999 was $885,026, or 26.5% of sales, compared to $1,095,071, or 49.1% of sales,
in the first quarter of 1998. The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expense, as a percentage of sales, is due to the reduction of
fixed expenses, offset by an increase in variable expenses, which resulted from
an increase in sales volume.

         For the first quarter of 1999, interest expense was $271,772, compared
to $144,935 for the first quarter of 1998. The increase in interest expense is
due to the conversion of operating leases to capital leases as a result of the
financial restructuring in January 1999, described below.

         The net loss before extraordinary income was $455,966 in the first
quarter of 1999 compared to a net loss of $1,222,793 in the first quarter of
1998. The decrease in the loss before extraordinary income was due to a decrease
in fixed expenses and an increase in sales volume.

         Extraordinary income of $1,731,762 in the first quarter of 1999 was the
result of the financial restructuring in January 1999 and the resulting
discounts from settlements with unsecured creditors. No extraordinary income was
reported for the first quarter of 1998.

         Net income after extraordinary income was $1,275,796 for the first
quarter of 1999, compared with a loss of $1,222,793 in the first quarter of
1998. The change from net loss to net income was caused by a decrease in fixed
expenses, an increase in sales volume and the financial restructuring during the
first quarter of 1999. Net income after extraordinary income during the first
quarter of 1999 would have been approximately $75,000 lower and the loss for
1998 higher


                                       12
<PAGE>

had the Company not recorded a write-down of plant and equipment during the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1997.

         The Company had basic and diluted net earnings of $0.06 per share in
the first quarter of 1999 compared to a loss of $0.06 per share in first quarter
of 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Since its initial public offering in October 1990, the Company has
generated funds to finance its activities through both public sales and private
placements of its securities, as well as bank loans, equipment lease financing
and cash from operations.

         SALES OF SECURITIES

         The Company received net proceeds from the privately placed sale of
Common Stock from January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998 of $1,282,951. The proceeds
were used for general corporate purposes.


         No Common Stock was issued by the Company from January 1, 1999 through
March 31, 1999. In connection with the financial restructuring of the Company in
January 1999, 1,629,930 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued to DGJ,
L.L.C. ("DGJ") for $100. Also, in connection with the January financial
restructuring, the Company reserved 30,937,500 shares of authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock to meet its requirements under the financing terms of
such restructuring.


         EQUIPMENT AND LEASE FINANCING

         Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company
and DGJ dated January 27, 1999, the Company entered into a ten year Equipment
Lease with DGJ (the "Equipment Lease"), whereby the Company agreed to lease
certain equipment for $1,224,000 (interest only at 18%) per year, payable in
equal monthly installments. The Equipment Lease replaced existing equipment
leases, which have been terminated, in which the Company was in default or
which were subject to judgments due to past due payments owed by the Company.

         In February 1999, the Company borrowed approximately $219,000 from DGJ
to purchase additional pieces of equipment. This loan bears interest at a rate
of 18% per annum and has the same maturity as the Equipment Lease (see Financial
Restructuring, below).

         LIQUIDITY

         The Company's cash flow was enhanced by $700,581 from depreciation and
amortization non-cash charges in the first quarter of 1999. Inventory and
accounts receivable increased by a total of $828,804 during the first quarter of
1999. The current asset ratio was 0.59:1 at March 31, 1999 and 0.12:1 at
December 31, 1998. The debt to equity ratio was 2.9:1 at March 31, 1999 and
4.4:1 at December 31, 1998.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND PATENT INFRINGEMENT SETTLEMENT


                                       13
<PAGE>


         During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended February 28, 1997,
the Company made the decision to exit the traditional T-shirt bag business. The
application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of," caused the Company to recognize a non-cash charge of $5,385,000 to write
down to fair value certain long-lived assets consisting principally of machinery
and equipment, patents and goodwill, together with other related expenses. The
method used to determine fair value was a discounted cash flow approach. The
assets consist of those related to the manufacture of the traditional T-shirt
bag business.

         Description of impaired assets, patents, goodwill and plant assets
relating to bag making facilities:

                  Patents                                    $1,044,577
                  Goodwill                                      620,353
                  Plant equipment                             3,335,070
                  Reserve for agreement with bag-making
                        equipment vendor                        285,000
                  Write-off of rubber plates used in
                        bag-making equipment                    100,000
                                                             ----------
                  Total                                      $5,385,000
                                                             ----------
                                                             ----------

         Fair value of all assets, except plant equipment, was determined to be
zero based upon the Company's decision to exit the traditional T-shirt bag
business. Fair value of the plant equipment was determined based upon projected
future cash flows for the remaining useful life, present book value and residual
value of assets at the end of its useful life, with cash flows both discounted
at 14% per year (average cost of secured debt financing).

         A patent infringement suit settlement of $512,648, including legal
defense costs, was recorded during the fiscal year ended February 28, 1997.

FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING

         On January 27, 1999, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with DGJ (the "January 1999
Financing"), whereby the Company agreed to issue and sell to DGJ, and DGJ agreed
to purchase from the Company the following:


         1.       a Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of
                  $3,200,000 (the "Note");


         2.       a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of up to
                  80,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at an
                  exercise price of $0.04 per share, exercisable until January
                  27, 2009; and


         3.       1,629,930 shares of Series C  Preferred Stock of the Company
                  for $100.


         The Note matures on February 1, 2004 or earlier if the Company enters
into a merger agreement, completes a public offering in excess of $10,000,000,
defaults on the payment of interest or sells 50% or more of its shares in the
Company to a stockholder not previously an


                                       14
<PAGE>

investor in the Company. The Note has an interest rate of 6% per annum payable
monthly in arrears and is secured by all assets of the Company. The Note is
subordinated to the equipment lease and the factoring agreement, described
below.


         In conjunction with the January 1999 Financing, DGJ required certain
members of the Company's management, Ms. Beresford, Mr. Koehlinger, Dr. Nurse,
Dr. Schulz and Mr. Hughes, to invest, in the aggregate, $300,000 in the
Company's warrants. The Common Stock represented by the warrants cannot be
issued until approval for an increase in the Company's authorized shares of
Common Stock is obtained at the next annual meeting of stockholders.


         The shares of the Series C Preferred Stock were purchased by DGJ for an
aggregate purchase price of $100. Some of the rights and restrictions of Series
C Preferred Stock include the following: (i) the holders of Series C Preferred
Stock have no voting rights; provided, however, upon an Event of Default, as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, holders of the Series C Preferred
Stock will be entitled to vote with the holders of the Common Stock as a single
class on each matter submitted to a vote to the Company's stockholders, with
each share of the Series C Preferred Stock having 30 votes per one vote of each
share of Common Stock; (ii) if the Note has been retired in its entirety, the
Company, at its option, may elect to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding
Series C Preferred Stock, at an aggregated redemption price of $100 plus accrued
interest at a rate of 6% per annum commencing on January 27, 1999; and (iii) the
shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are not convertible into shares of Common
Stock.


         In conjunction with the January 1999 Financing, the Company entered
into agreements with most of its unsecured creditors that provided a discounted
payment in February 1999 or a non-interest bearing agreement to pay the entire
balance over a three-year period. The unsecured creditor agreements, together
with the financing referred to above, allowed the Company to restructure trade
notes payable of $584,000 and accounts payable of $6,597,000, or a total of
$7,181,000, compared to $1,874,000 of current accounts payable and $1,426,000 of
long-term debt, or a total of $3,300,000 after refinancing.


         The gain on the restructuring of trade notes payable and accounts
payable was accounted for as an extraordinary item in the Company's Consolidated
Statement of Operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1999. The
creditors who selected the long-term debt agreement are being paid their
balances due over a 36-month period in 36 equal installments with no interest.
The Company was involved in a patent infringement suit and reached a settlement
on January 27, 1999 to pay the balance due of $200,000 as part of the
restructuring of the Company's debt described above.


         A factoring agreement with a company related to DGJ now provides the
Company with $2,000,000 of financing secured by the Company's accounts
receivable and $1,000,000 secured by its inventory. The term for both the
accounts receivable and inventory financing is six months, subject to automatic
renewal unless the Company gives at least 90 days written notice of termination.
Written notice of termination regarding this factoring agreement was given by
the Company on March 30, 1999. The financing bears interest at the prime rate
plus 5% on the outstanding balance on the inventory loan and the prime rate plus
2% on all accounts receivable submitted for financing. The Company may borrow up
to 85% of its qualified accounts receivable and 33% of its qualified inventory.



                                       15
<PAGE>


         The Company's equipment, capital and operating leases are now funded by
a new equipment lease with DGJ. Current obligations of $3,800,000 and accrued
lease obligations of $1,643,000 were retired and $1,679,000 of equipment
previously treated as operating leases was added to the property and equipment
accounts. The new lease carries no debt reduction obligation and is treated as
long-term debt. The Company's combined monthly payments under the retired leases
were reduced from approximately $305,000 per month to $102,000 per month under
the new lease agreement with DGJ. The lease obligation is a ten-year lease with
monthly payments of $102,000 representing interest only. The total principal
amount of the lease is $6,800,000 and is due at the end of the lease term. The
lease has been recorded as a capital lease during the quarter ended March 31,
1999 and will be treated as such in future periods. The lease requires the
Company to meet certain financial covenants, including, but not limited to,
earnings targets and debt-to-equity ratios.


         The note payable, warrants and Series C Preferred Stock purchased by
DGJ for $3,200,200 were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, at an
assumed rate of 14%. Net cash proceeds after fees were assigned to the
various components of this transaction based upon the discounted value of the
note payable at 14%. Of the $3,200,200, $480,000 has been recorded as
additional capital in excess of par value related to the warrants. The Series
C Preferred Stock is determined to have no value separate from the warrants
because it is not convertible to Common Stock and its redemption price is the
same as its purchase price, $100 plus accrued interest at 6% per annum
beginning on January 27, 1999. Also the Series C Preferred Stock has no
preference in liquidation, although, it has a voting preference. The fair
market value of the Common Stock on January 27, 1999 was $0.28 per share. The
warrants have an exercise price of $0.04 per share.


         Accounts payable long term consists of amounts due to vendors who
selected a 36 month payment plan as part of the Company's financial
restructuring. The payment plan current portion is included in current
liabilities.


         In February 1999, the Company borrowed approximately $219,000 from DGJ
to purchase additional pieces of equipment. This loan bears interest at a rate
of 18% per annum and matures in September 1999.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

         Inflation during the first quarter of 1999 did not have any impact on
operating results nor did it have any impact on the last three fiscal periods.

YEAR 2000

         The Company implemented a Year 2000 compliance project in June 1998,
which addresses the internal risk, requirements and budgets for becoming Year
2000 compliant. The Company has completed an inventory of all of its internal
operations and currently is addressing Year 2000 compliance from its suppliers
and other constituents. In 1998, the Company did not have any costs associated
with Year 2000 compliance. In the first quarter of 1999, the Company expended
$25,000 on Year 2000 compliance.


         As a result of the Year 2000 compliance project, the Company is
upgrading its financial and accounting system at an investment of approximately
$25,000, and is funding the upgrade out of working capital. The finance and
accounting system upgrade is currently in process and is expected to be
installed and tested by July 31, 1999. The Company has tested all of its
manufacturing equipment, including its manufacturing information systems, and
all were determined to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company has not utilized any
independent verification or validation processes since the tests performed on
the Company's manufacturing systems determined the systems to be Year 2000
complaint. The Company does not contract out its systems maintenance and design
and, therefore, has no third party risk in this regard.


         As of May 28, 1999, the Company has contacted five significant
customers, which accounted for 50.3% of total sales for the first quarter of
1999 regarding their Year 2000 compliance status. All of these customers have
indicated that they are either already Year 2000 complaint or are on schedule to
be Year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999. None of these customers currently
order from the Company through electronic systems.


         The Company sent questionnaires to all 409 vendors as of May 14, 1999
regarding their Year 2000 compliance status. As of May 24, 1999 the Company
received 94 responses. All major vendors responded that they are currently Year
2000 compliant and the other vendors are either Year 2000 compliant or are on
schedule to be Year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999.


         In the most likely-worse case scenario, Year 2000 compliance issues may
cause the railroad systems in the United States to become dysfunctional, which
would cause the Company to obtain its resin and other supplies by other means of
transportation. The Company would be unable to manufacture products and revenues
would be impacted 60 days after the rail system ceases to function. The
Company's contingency plan is to implement a manual system for its accounting
and finance functions. The Company's manufacturing contingency plan is to
accumulate a 30-day inventory excess of raw materials by December 31, 1999 to
address vendor problems caused by Year 2000 issues.


         The Company has not deferred any of its information technologies
projects due to its Year 2000 efforts. Furthermore, there has been no impact
from any deferred projects on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.



                                       17
<PAGE>


         The Company is scheduled to be Year 2000 compliant as of July 31, 1999.
The only remaining component, as of May 28, 1999, is the Company's financial and
accounting systems, described above. The additional costs of achieving full Year
2000 compliance are expected to be $25,000.

ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Not required by the Company at this time.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         At December 31, 1998, the Company was involved in various pending
commercial legal proceedings with equipment lessors and trade suppliers because
of lease defaults and overdue trade accounts. The debt of the equipment lessors
was paid in conjunction with the January 1999 financing on terms negotiated
between the Company and the lessors. The Company now has no pending significant
commercial legal proceedings with equipment lessors or trade suppliers.

         A notice of potential claim has been sent by a group of investors to
both the Company and its insurance carrier alleging that the Company's former
management made misrepresentations concerning registration rights attendant to
the securities purchased by them pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. The Company believes that any settlement in connection with
this potential claim will not have a material effect on its operations.

ITEM 2.   CHANGES IN SECURITIES                                           None

ITEM 3.   DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES                                 None
