Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by HoloPak Technologies, Inc. ("HoloPak" or the "Company")
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months
ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 1999. The Company's
financial statements do not include certain information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles and accordingly,
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
notes thereto included in HoloPak's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 1998.
2. INVENTORIES

</TABLE>
3. NOTE PAYABLE & LONG-TERM DEBT
Effective October 1, 1998, the Company renegotiated the terms of its
credit facility and has available through September 1999 a secured
revolving line of credit in the amount of $3.0 million to be used for
general corporate purposes. The Company has $3.0 million available
under this general facility at October 1, 1998. As of October 1, 1998,
the Company converted $500,000 from its previous line of credit to a
four year term loan. This loan requires equal quarterly payments of
$31,250 beginning January 1, 1999 and maturing on October 1, 2002. In
addition, the Company has a five year term loan. This loan requires
equal quarterly payments of $135,000, which began on June 17, 1995,
with a final maturity of March 17, 2000. Outstanding borrowings on this
capital expenditure loan at September 30, 1998 and March 31, 1998 were
$810,000 and $1,080,000, respectively. The line of credit facility
bears interest at the one month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
plus 225 basis points. The 1995 and 1998 term loans bear interest at
the three month LIBOR plus 150 basis points and 250 basis points
respectively. The interest rate in effect for the line of credit
facility was 7.9% at September 30, 1998 and March 31, 1998. The
interest rate in effect for the 1995 term loan was 6.9% at
September 30, 1998 and March 31, 1998.

4. ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 130
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income." Comprehensive income is
defined as the total change in shareholders' equity during the period
other than from transactions with shareholders. For the Company,
comprehensive income is comprised of net income and the net change in
the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment account. Total
comprehensive (loss) income for the six months ended September 30, 1998
and 1997 was $(660,540) and $105,057 respectively.
5. ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 131
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which will be
effective for the Company beginning with its 1999 fiscal year end. SFAS
No. 131 redefines how operating segments are determined and requires
expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures relating to a
company's operating segments. The Company is currently assembling the
data and evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 131 on its current
disclosures.
6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings per Share". This standard revises
certain methodology for computing earnings per common share and
requires the reporting of two earnings per share figures: basic
earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per
share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number
of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the
exercise of stock options. All earnings per share figures presented
herein have been computed in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
128. For the Company, both basic and diluted earnings per share equal
previously reported primary earnings per share. There was no dilutive
effect for the six months ended September 30, 1998 and September 30,
1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to the Three Months Ended
September 30, 1997
Net Revenues:
Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998 were $8.5 million,
compared to $9.9 million for the comparable period of September 30, 1997, a
decrease of 14.1%. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased sales in
the Company's holographic security products. The other factor affecting sales is
the reduced average selling prices as a result of competitive pricing pressures
and decreases in the cost of raw materials passed onto customers. Revenues from
sales of holographic products decreased from $2.6 million to $1.5 million
primarily as a result of reduced security product sales to overseas markets
attributed to Asian and Indonesian economic conditions. Revenues from sales of
hot stamping foils decreased from $4.8 million to $4.4 million primarily due to
the decrease in the average selling price per unit as discussed above. Revenues
for metallized paper increased slightly from $2.15 million in the prior year
quarter as compared to $2.25 million in the quarter ending September 30, 1998.
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFITS:
Cost of sales decreased by $.9 million to $6.8 million from $7.7 million in the
prior year period. The decrease from the comparable quarter of the prior year
was primarily attributable to lower holography sales as previously discussed and
the decline in the price of polyester film, the primary raw material in the
manufacturing of both hot stamping and holographic foil.
Gross profit decreased by $.5 million, from $2.2 million in 1997 to $1.7 million
in the 1998 period as a result of the decrease in revenues partially offset by
the decrease in Cost of Sales. Fixed costs at the Company's Transfer Print
Foils, Inc., subsidiary were absorbed by lower sales thus decreasing the gross
profit as a percentage of sales to 19.9% from 22.0% in the prior year period.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $1.7 million from $2.0
million for the comparable period of 1997. The primary reductions occurred in
commissions, advertising and insurance expense, partially offset by increased
consulting fees and computer related charges.
6
<PAGE> 9
OPERATING INCOME:
Operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, was $12,000 compared
to operating income of $153,000 for the same period last year. The decline was
attributable to the decline in sales and gross profits.
INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE):
Net interest income for the quarter was $4,100 compared to an expense of $6,300
for the prior year period. Lower debt was responsible for the decline, partially
offset by decreased cash balances.
INCOME TAXES:
Income taxes were $13,900 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, compared to
income taxes of $63,700 for the prior year period.
NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Net income was $1,800 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to net
income of $83,000 for the prior year period. Earnings per share were $0.00 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to $0.02 for the prior year
quarter. Lower operating profits were responsible for the decline.

<PAGE> 10
SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1997
NET REVENUES:
Net revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1998 were $17.3 million,
compared to $19.5 million for the comparable period of September 30, 1997, a
decrease of 11.3%. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased sales in
the company's holographic security products. Another major factor affecting
sales is the reduced average selling price as a result of competitive pricing
pressures and decreases in the cost of raw materials passed onto customers.
Revenues from sales of holographic products decreased from $4.9 million to $3.6
million primarily as a result of reduced security product sales to overseas
markets attributable to Asian and Indonesian economic conditions. Revenues from
hot stamping foils decreased from $10.0 million to $8.7 million primarily due to
the decrease in the average selling price per unit as discussed previously.
Revenues for metallized paper increased slightly from $4.47 million in the
period ending 1997 to $4.53 million in the comparable period ending September
30, 1998.
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT:
Cost of sales decreased by $1.4 million to $13.9 million from $15.3 million in
the prior year period. The decrease from the prior year six month period was
primarily attributable to lower holography sales as previously discussed and the
decline in the price of polyester film, the primary raw material in the
manufacturing of both hot stamping and holographic foil.
Gross profit decreased by $.8 million, from $4.2 million in 1997 to $3.4 million
in the 1998 period as a result of the decrease in revenues partially offset by
the decrease in cost of sales. Fixed costs at the Company's Transfer Print
Foils, Inc. subsidiary were absorbed by lower sales thus decreasing the gross
profit as a percentage of sales to 19.8% from 21.4% in the prior year period.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.6 million compared to $4.0
million for the prior year period. The primary reductions occurred in
commissions, advertising and insurance expense, partially offset by increases in
consulting fees and computer related charges.
OPERATING (LOSS) INCOME:
Operating loss for the six month period ended September 30, 1998, was $170,000
compared to operating income of $184,000 for the same period last year. The
decline was attributable to the decline in sales and gross profits.
8
<PAGE> 11
INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE):
Net interest income for the six month period was $8,500 compared to an expense
of $24,000 for the prior year period. Lower debt was responsible for the
decline, offset slightly by decreased cash balances.
INCOME TAXES:
Income taxes were a benefit of $41,400 for the six months ended September 30,
1998, compared to an income tax provision of $70,100 for the prior year period.
NET INCOME (LOSS) AND EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Net loss was $120,300 for the six months ended September 30, 1998 compared to
net income of $90,300 for the prior year period. The 1998 loss per share was
$0.04 compared to September 30, 1997 earnings of $0.03. Lower operating profits
were responsible for the decline.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
As of September 30, 1998, the Company had cash of $2.6 million and working
capital of $12.0 million, compared to cash of $1.9 million and working capital
of $11.7 million at March 31, 1998. The increase in cash is primarily
attributable to cash generated from operations. The increase in working capital
is the result of the reclassification of short-term borrowings to long-term
debt due to the renegotiation of the Company's credit line facility.
Depreciation and amortization for the six month period was $1.2 million while
capital investment was $1.1 million.
The Company has available a general purpose credit line of $3,000,000 with a
remaining availability of $3,000,000 at November 10, 1998.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
Stockholder's equity decreased by $.7 million primarily due to a decrease in the
cumulative translation adjustment associated with our Canadian subsidiary and
the net loss for the period.
YEAR 2000
GENERAL
The "YEAR 2000 ISSUE" refers to computer hardware and software and their ability
to recognize and process dates beyond the year 1999. This includes, but is not
limited to, IS (Information systems) hardware and software, telephone systems
and plant infrastructure. In addition, this issue involves the capability of the
Company's customers and suppliers to provide an uninterrupted supply of orders,
goods and services. To ensure a smooth transition to the year 2000, the Company
has implemented a plan to correct and replace, where necessary, any
9
<PAGE> 12
hardware or software which is not year 2000 compliant. The Company is also
surveying our suppliers and customers to identify those who will be ready and
those who may not be ready.
STATUS
The Company has identified certain Year 2000 IS issues and is in the process of
replacing or modifying non-compliant hardware and software. The Company's
plants have begun to evaluate their equipment and infrastructure and it is
expected that recommendations for corrective measures, if necessary will be
formulated by the end of 1998. Purchasing has proceeded to survey all critical
suppliers and a cooperative program with our customers has begun to lessen
their concern and ensure a continued relationship. The Company's goal is to be
compliant by July 1, 1999.
RISKS
Any oversight to correct a material internal YEAR 2000 problem could result in
the interruption or failure of certain normal business activities. These
interruptions or failures could adversely affect the Company's financial
condition. In addition, if any third parties, who provide goods or services that
are critical to the Company's business activities, fail to appropriately address
their YEAR 2000 issues, there could be a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition and results of operations. Because of the
magnitude and uncertainty of the problem, the Company cannot determine at this
time whether the consequences of any oversights will have a material impact on
the Company. HoloPak Technologies believes that the planned modifications of its
internal systems and equipment will allow it to be year 2000 compliant in a
timely manner.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
The Company will develop appropriate contingency plans to address internal and
external issues specific to YEAR 2000 compliance. These plans will include
performing certain processes manually, changing suppliers and increasing
inventory levels. The Company expects to complete its contingency plan by
September 30, 1999.
COSTS
The Company does not expect the costs associated with its YEAR 2000 efforts to
be substantial. The Company estimates that the total amount will not exceed
$400,000, such amount includes expenditures under capital leases for certain
hardware and software costs. The Company's aggregate cost estimate does not
include time and costs that may be incurred by the Company as a result of the
failure of any third parties, including suppliers, to become YEAR 2000 ready or
costs to implement any contingency plan.

FIFTH AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT
THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT (this "Fifth Amendment"), dated as
of October 1, 1998, is entered into by and between TRANSFER PRINT FOILS, INC., a
New Jersey corporation (the "Borrower") and FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK , formerly
known as First Fidelity Bank, National Association (the "Bank").
RECITALS:
A. The Borrower and the Bank are parties to a certain Loan Agreement,
dated March 17, 1993, as amended by First Amendment to Loan Agreement and
Confirmation of Guaranties, dated as of March 10, 1995 (the "First Amendment"),
Second Amendment to Loan Agreement and Confirmation of Guaranties, dated June
28, 1996 (the "Second Amendment"), Third Amendment and Supplement to Loan
Agreement, dated as of November 1, 1996 (the "Third Amendment"); and by Fourth
Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of June 30, 1997 (the "Fourth Amendment";
the Loan Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Third
Amendment and Fourth Amendment, the "Loan Agreement").
B. Subsequent to the effectiveness of the Fourth Amendment, the Bank and
the Borrower have replaced, renewed, extended and otherwise modified the
promissory note evidencing the Discretionary Line of Credit, with a Promissory
Note dated December 31, 1997 made by the Borrower and payable to the Bank, in a
maximum principal amount of up to $3,000,000 pursuant to which the Bank has made
available to the Borrower a committed revolving credit facility (the "Line of
Credit") under which "Advances" (as defined in said note) may be made in an
aggregate principal amount of up to $3,000,000, in accordance with the terms and
conditions thereof.
C. The Line of Credit is due to expire on September 30, 1998 and,
therefore, the Borrower has requested a renewal thereof to September 30, 1999.
D. The Borrower has further requested that the Bank convert a certain
$500,000 advance (the "Equipment Advance") under the Line of Credit, the
proceeds of which were used to acquire certain holographic machinery and
equipment as more specifically described on Schedule A hereto (the "Acquired
Equipment") into a new term loan and restore the availability under the Line of
Credit by a like amount.
E. Furthermore, the Borrower has informed the Bank that a certain Event of
Default under the Loan Agreement (as more fully described on Schedule I annexed
hereto) has occurred as of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 1998 and the Bank
agreed to waive said default pursuant to a certain waiver letter dated June 18,
1998 (the "Waiver Letter").
F. The Bank is willing to so convert the Equipment Advance and to further
amend the Loan Agreement to reflect the parties understanding with respect to
(i) the substitution of the Discretionary Line of Credit with the Line of Credit
and the renewal thereof to September 30, 1999 and (ii) matters addressed in the
Waiver Letter, in each case subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and
conditions set forth herein.

exemplary damages against the other in any Dispute and hereby waive any right or
claim to punitive or exemplary damages they have now or which may arise in the
future in connection with any Dispute whether the Dispute is resolve by
arbitration or judicially.

East Brunswick, New Jersey 08816
(Hereinafter referred to as the "Borrower")
FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK
550 Broad Street
Newark, New Jersey 07102
(Hereinafter referred to as the "Bank")
Borrower promises to pay to the order of Bank, in lawful money of the United
States of America, at its office indicated above or wherever else Bank may
specify, the sum of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00), with
interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate and on the terms provided
in this Promissory Note (including all renewals, extensions or modifications
hereof, this "Note").
INTEREST RATE. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this
Note from the date hereof at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.50% (250 basis points)
("LIBOR-Based Rate"), as determined by Bank prior to commencement of each
Interest Period. "LIBOR" is the rate for 3-month U.S. dollar deposits as
reported on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the second
London business day before the relevant Interest Period begins (or if not so
reported, then as determined by Bank from another recognized source of interbank
quotation). The term "Interest Period" means, initially, the period commencing
on the date hereof and ending January 15, 1999, and thereafter, each period
commencing on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period and
ending three month thereafter; subject, however, to the following provisions:
(i) if any Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a New York
business day, that Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding New
York business day unless the result of such extension would be to carry such
Interest Period into another calendar month, in which event such Interest Period
shall end on the immediately preceding New York business day and (ii) any
Interest Period that begins on the last New York business day of a calendar
month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the
calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last New
York business day of a calendar month.
<PAGE> 12
Indemnification, Increased Costs, Unavailability of LIBOR. Borrower agrees to
indemnify Bank for any loss or expenses in employing deposits as a consequence
of (a) Borrower failure to make any payment when due under this Note or (b) any
payment or prepayment or conversion of any advance under this Note on a date
other than the last day of the interest period applicable thereto.
If, at any time a new, or a revision in any existing law or interpretation or
administration (including reversals) thereof by any government authority,
central bank or comparable agency imposed, increases or modifies any reserve of
similar requirement against assets, deposits or credit extended by Bank, or
subjects Bank to any tax, duty or other charge (except tax on Bank's net
income), and any of the foregoing increase the cost to Bank of maintaining its
commitment or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under
this Note, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Bank, Borrower agrees to pay
the Bank such additional amounts as will compensate the Bank for such increased
reductions.
The amount payable in respect of any such indemnification shall be determined by
Bank based on the assumption that bank funded 100% of such advance in the London
interbank market.
If, at any time (i) Bank shall determine that, by reason of circumstances
affecting foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, LIBOR deposits in
the applicable amounts and currency are not being offered to Bank or (ii) a new,
or a revision in any existing law or interpretation or administration (including
reversals) thereof by any government authority, central bank or comparable
agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for Bank to honor its obligations
under this Note to loan at the LIBOR-Based Rate, then the applicable LIBOR-Based
Rate shall, for the remainder of the term of the Note, immediately be converted
to the Prime Rate. As used in the Note, "Prime Rate" means the rate of interest
established by Bank as its reference rate in making loans, and is not tied to
any external rate of interest or index. The rate of interest charged hereunder
as the Prime Rate shall change automatically and immediately as of the date of
any charge in the Prime Rate without notice to Borrower.
DEFAULT RATE. In addition to all other rights contained in this Note, if a
Default (defined herein) occurs and as long as a Default continues, all
outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 3.00% (300
basis points) ("Default Rate"). The Default Rate shall also apply from
acceleration until the Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full.
INTEREST AND FEE(S) COMPUTATION. (Actual/360). Interest and fees, if any, shall
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in the
applicable period ("Actual/360 Computation"). The Actual/360 Computation
determines the annual effective yield by taking the stated (nominal) rate for a
year's period and then dividing said rate by 360 to determine the daily periodic
rate to be applied for each day in the applicable period. Application of the
Actual/360 Computation produces an annualized effective rate exceeding that of
the nominal rate.

institution of any judicial proceeding, any dispute, claim or controversy
arising out of, connected with or relating to this Note and other Loan Documents
("Disputes") between or among parties to this Note shall be resolved by binding
arbitration conducted by the Commercial Financial Disputes Arbitration Rules
(the "Arbitration Rules") of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA")
and the Federal Arbitration Act. Institution of a judicial proceeding by a party
does not waive the right of that party to demand arbitration hereunder. Disputes
may include, without limitation, tort claims, counterclaims, disputes as to
whether a matter is subject to arbitration, claims brought as class actions,
claims arising from loan documents executed in the future, or claims arising out
of or connected with the transaction reflected by this Note. A judgment upon the
award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this arbitration provision does not apply to dispute under or related
to swap agreements.
All arbitration hearings shall be conducted in the city in which the office of
Bank first stated above is located. A hearing shall begin within 90 days of
demand for arbitration and all hearings shall be conducted within 90 days of
demand for arbitration. These time limitations may not be extended unless a
party shows cause for extension and then for no more than a total of 60 days.
The expedited procedures set in Rule 51 et. seq. of the Arbitration Rules shall
be applicable to claims of less than $1,000,000.00.

Arbitrators shall be comprised of licensed attorneys selected from the
Commercial Financial Dispute Arbitration Panel of the AAA. The parties do not
waive applicable Federal or State substantive law except as provided herein.
PRESERVATION AND LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. Notwithstanding the preceding binding
arbitration provisions, Bank and Borrower agree to preserve, without diminution,
certain remedies that any party hereto may employ or exercise freely,
independently or in connection with an arbitration proceeding or after an
arbitration action is brought. Bank and Borrower shall have the right to proceed
in any court of proper jurisdiction or by self-help to exercise or prosecute the
following remedies, as applicable: (i) all rights to foreclose against any real
or personal property or other security by exercising a power of sale granted
under Loan Documents or under applicable law or by judicial foreclosure and
sale, including a proceeding to confirm the sale: (ii) all rights of self-help
including peaceful occupation of real property and collection of rents, set-off,
and peaceful possession of personal property; (iii) obtaining provisional or
ancillary remedies including injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment,
attachment, appointment of receiver and filing an involuntary bankruptcy
proceeding; and (iv) when applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment.
Preservation of these remedies does not limit the power of an arbitrator to
grant similar remedies that may be requested by a party in a Dispute.
Borrower and Bank agree that they shall not have a remedy of punitive or
exemplary damages against the other in any Dispute and hereby waive any right or
claim to punitive or exemplary damages they have now or which may arise in the
future in connection with any Dispute whether the Dispute is resolved by
arbitration or judicially.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BANK AND BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY AGREEING TO BINDING
ARBITRATION THEY HAVE IRREVOCABLY WAIVED ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL
WITH REGARD TO A DISPUTE.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower, on the day and year first above written, has
caused this Note to be executed under seal.
