A.       GENERAL

         The consolidated balance sheet of Gibraltar Packaging Group, Inc.
         ("Company") and Subsidiaries (collectively, "Gibraltar") at July 1,
         1995 has been taken from Gibraltar's audited financial statements at
         that date. All other consolidated financial statements contained herein
         have been prepared by Gibraltar and are unaudited. The financial
         statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
         for the year ended July 1, 1995 and the notes thereto contained in
         Gibraltar's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
         in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial
         statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission and do not include all information and footnotes required by
         generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
         statements. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying
         consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting
         only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
         financial position of Gibraltar as of March 31, 1996 and July 1, 1995,
         and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods
         presented herein. Results for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 are
         not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
         fiscal year.

E.       SEVERANCE, OFFICE MOVING AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

         Included in the nine months ended March 31, 1996 is a pre-tax charge of
         $998,000 for severance of eight senior employees ($901,000) and the
         move of the corporate office ($97,000) from Charlotte, North Carolina
         to Westport, Connecticut. The third quarter of 1996 includes $745,000
         of these costs; $648,000 for severance and $97,000 for the office move.

         At March 31, 1996 the remaining severance liability is approximately
         $735,000.

         The costs related to the corporate office move include amounts for
         lease terminations, the write-off of leasehold improvements and moving
         of furniture and personnel. The move is anticipated to be completed by
         June 30, 1996 and these costs will generally have been incurred by that
         date.

         All funds related to the second quarter 1995 restructuring charge have
         been spent.


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

o        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

         Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to
         Three Months Ended March 31, 1995

         Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were $19.1 million
         compared with $19.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1995, a
         decrease of 4.0%. Sales of pressure-sensitive labels, flexible
         packaging and laminated products were lower while sales of spiral-wound
         packaging increased.

         Cost of goods sold decreased $0.8 million, or 5.1%, compared with the
         third quarter of fiscal 1995. As a percentage of net sales, cost of
         goods sold was 78.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with
         78.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 1995. The decrease in cost of
         goods sold reflects a more profitable product mix and reduced headcount
         and manufacturing costs at the Niemand Industries spiral-wound
         division.

         Selling expenses decreased $32,000, or 2.9%, in the third quarter of
         fiscal 1996 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1995, due to a
         decrease in the number of sales personnel.

         Administrative expenses decreased $185,000, or 10.9%. This decrease
         reflects significantly lower corporate office expense due to
         decentralization.

         A charge of $745,000 has been recorded in the current year third
         quarter consisting primarily of severance costs for divisional
         personnel and expenses related to the move of the corporate office from
         Charlotte, North Carolina to Westport, Connecticut. See footnote E for
         further discussion of this item.

         Interest and deferred finance costs for the third quarter of fiscal
         1996 increased to $791,000 from $760,000 in the third quarter of fiscal
         1995. While borrowings under the revolving credit facility decreased in
         the current year quarter compared with the prior year quarter, interest
         rates were higher in the current year resulting in a slight increase in
         interest expense. Amortization of finance costs was also higher in the
         third quarter of 1996 due to fees incurred in March, 1995 

                                       5

         amending the credit agreement. These fees are being amortized
         straight-line over the original life of the credit agreement.

         The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31,
         1996 and 1995 exceeds the amount that would be determined based on
         federal and state income tax rates primarily due to the
         non-deductibility of the amortization of the excess of purchase price
         over net assets acquired.

         Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to
         Nine Months Ended March 31, 1995

         Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 were $56.1 million
         compared with $57.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1995, a
         decrease of 2.1%. Increased sales of folding cartons were offset by
         lower sales of pressure sensitive labels, flexible packaging,
         spiral-wound packaging and laminated products.

         Cost of goods sold decreased $4.0 million, or 8.3% for the nine months
         ended March 31, 1996 compared with the similar period of the prior
         year.

         Included in cost of goods sold for the second quarter of fiscal 1995
         were adjustments to the inventory balances of Niemand Industries
         totaling approximately $1.3 million reflecting a physical inventory
         shortage as well as reserves for obsolescence. Similarly, GB Labels
         recorded a charge of $341,000 for physical inventory shortage and
         inventory obsolescence during that quarter. No similar amounts were
         recorded in the current year.

         Excluding the charge of $1.6 million recorded in the second quarter of
         the prior year, the cost of sales percentage improved to 78.4% in the
         current year from 81.0% in the prior year. The percentage was favorably
         impacted by product mix as well as reduced headcount and manufacturing
         costs at the Niemand facility.

         Operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 decreased
         to $8.6 million from $9.6 million for the nine months ended March 31,
         1995, a decrease of $1.0 million. The lower current year expenses
         reflect decreased corporate office expenditures and a smaller charge
         for restructuring in the current year compared with the prior year.

         In the second quarter of fiscal 1995, a $1.4 million restructuring
         charge was recorded to write-down property, plant and equipment and to
         provide severance for personnel related to the Niemand consolidation.

         As discussed in footnote E, a pre-tax charge of $998,000 for severance
         and the corporate office relocation was recorded in the nine months
         ended March 31, 1996. $253,000 of such costs occurred in the first and
         second quarters. See footnote E for further discussion.

         Interest and deferred finance costs for the first nine months of fiscal
         1996 increased to $2.4 million from $2.1 million in the first nine
         months of fiscal 1995. This increase reflects higher borrowings under
         the revolving credit line during the current year period, increased
         interest rates and an increase in the amortization of deferred finance
         costs as discussed under the quarterly comparison.

         The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 1996
         exceeds, and the benefit for income taxes related to the nine months
         ended March 31, 1995 is less than, the amounts that would be determined
         based on federal and state income tax rates primarily due to the

                                       6

         non-deductibility of the amortization of the excess of purchase
         price over net assets acquired.

o        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

         The Company amended its bank credit agreement on March 31, 1996 to
         extend the expiration of the revolving credit facility to April 1, 1997
         from January 2, 1997 and to re-negotiate the repayment terms of the
         credit facility.

         As a result of this amendment, the Company has an available line of
         credit of $18 million through May 31, 1996, $17.5 million through July
         2, 1996 and $16 million up until the expiration date of the facility.
         At March 31, 1996 there was an outstanding balance of $16.0 million
         under the Line of Credit Agreement.

         At March 31, 1996, the Company was in violation of certain of its
         covenants under the bank credit agreement. The bank has issued waivers
         of these covenants.

         During the nine months ended March 31, 1996, capital expenditures
         totaled $1,005,000. In order to accommodate continued growth, Gibraltar
         makes capital improvements to improve efficiency and product quality.
         Gibraltar frequently upgrades its equipment by purchasing or leasing
         used equipment thereby reducing capital expenditures.

         Management believes that existing cash balances, funds generated by
         operations, and borrowings available under its current or future credit
         facilities will be sufficient to meet working capital, and capital
         expenditure requirements in fiscal 1996 and for the foreseeable future.
         Nevertheless, Gibraltar may require or choose to obtain additional
         capital through public or private debt or equity offerings or
         additional bank borrowings to fund future developments. There is no
         assurance that Gibraltar will be able to obtain such additional
         capital.
