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

References to the Company or Ivex herein reflect the consolidated results of
Ivex Packaging Corporation.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND MARCH 31,
1995

Net Sales

       The Company's net sales decreased by 7.7% during the first quarter of
1996 over the Company's net sales during the corresponding period in 1995
primarily as a result of selling price decreases (primarily related to lower
raw material costs) in substantially all product groups and unit volume
decreases in certain product lines.  The following table sets forth information
with respect to net sales of the Company's product groups for the period
presented:

</TABLE>


       Consumer Packaging net sales decreased by 4.8% during the first quarter
of 1996 from the corresponding period in 1995.  The decrease is the result of
decreased selling prices of extruded sheet (primarily related to lower raw
material costs) and slightly decreased unit sales volume of extruded  sheet.
During the first quarter of 1996, pounds of extruded  sheet decreased 1.9% and
the average selling price per pound of extruded sheet decreased 15.3% over the
results of the corresponding period in 1995.  Net sales of extruded film and
converted plastic and paper products during the first quarter of 1996 were
generally consistent with the corresponding period in 1995.

       Industrial Packaging net sales decreased by 10.2% during the first
quarter of 1996 from the corresponding period in 1995, primarily  due to volume
decreases of the Company's recycled and specialty  papers and of the Company's
coated paper for stamp applications. The unit sales volume of recycled and
specialty  paper decreased 16.6% and 37.4%, respectively, principally
reflecting decreased market demand.  The average net selling price of the
Company's kraft and specialty  paper decreased 3.1% during the first quarter of
1996 compared to the corresponding period in the  prior year, principally as a
result of decreases in raw material costs and weakened demand for the Company's
kraft and specialty paper.  The first quarter decrease in net sales was
partially offset by incremental sales volume from the Company's third quarter
1995 acquisition of Packaging Products, Inc. ("PPI").

Gross Profit

       The Company's gross profit increased 2.6% during the first quarter
compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily as a result of
the incremental gross profit from the Company's third quarter 1995 acquisition
of PPI.  The increase in gross profit was partially offset by decreased unit
production volume of the Company's kraft and specialty  paper and the Company's
coated paper for stamp applications and decreased profitability of the
Company's polymerization operations. Gross profit margin increased during the
first quarter of 1996 to 20.6% from the corresponding period's level of 18.5%
primarily as a result of decreases in the cost of the  Company's raw materials
(including styrene, polystyrene, polyethylene, old corrugated containers
("OCC") and doublelined kraft clippings ("DLK")).

Operating Expenses

       Selling and administrative expenses increased 3.3% during the first
quarter of 1996 and as a percentage of net sales increased to 10.7% during the
first quarter of 1996 compared to 9.5% during the same period in the prior year
primarily as a result of the decrease in the Company's net sales during the
first quarter of 1996.

       Amortization of intangibles decreased slightly during the first quarter
of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 as a result of the accelerated
non-cash write-off of a non-compete agreement and the write-off of goodwill in
the second quarter of 1995.

Income from Operations

       Income from operations was $10.2 million during the first quarter of
1996 compared to income from operations of $9.9 million during the first
quarter of 1995.  The increase in income from operations during the first
quarter of 1996 is primarily  a result of the increased gross profit and the
decreased amortization of intangibles.

Interest Expense

       Interest expense during the first quarter of 1996 was $10.8 million
compared to $10.4 million during the same period in 1995.  The increase
reflects greater outstanding aggregate indebtedness during 1996 as a result of
accretion on the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures and borrowings on IPC's
revolving credit facility.  Such increase in interest expense was partially
offset by lower average interest rates during 1996.

Net loss

       Net loss was $791,000 during the first quarter of 1996 compared to
$921,000 in the prior year.   The decrease in net loss is primarily due to
increased gross profit.

EBITDA

       EBITDA includes income from operations adjusted to exclude depreciation
and amortization expenses, goodwill write-off, acquisition related expenses and
restructuring charge.  Ivex believes that EBITDA provides additional
information for determining its ability to meet future debt service
requirements.  However, EBITDA is not a defined term under generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") and is not indicative of operating income or
cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP.

       The following table sets forth information with respect to EBITDA of the
Company's product groups for the period presented.

       The Company's EBITDA increased 5.7% from $15.1 million to $15.9 million
and EBITDA margin increased from 13.3% to 15.3% during the first quarter of
1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  The 12.3%, or $1.0 million, increase
in Consumer Packaging's EBITDA in the current quarter is primarily attributable
to the improved gross margin on converted plastic and paper products due to
reduced raw material costs and improved operating performance.  The increase in
Industrial Packaging's EBITDA of .7%, or $63,000, is primarily due to the
incremental EBITDA from the Company's third quarter 1995 acquisition of PPI
offset by decreased unit sales volume of the Company's recycled and specialty
papers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       The Company conducts business through IPC and has no operations of its
own.  The primary asset of the Company is the common stock of IPC which has
been pledged to secure the obligations of IPC and the subsidiaries under IPC's
senior credit facility.  The Company is dependent on the cash flow of IPC and
its subsidiaries in order to pay the principal and interest on the 13-1/4%
Senior Discount Debentures due March 15, 2005 (the "13-1/4% Company Discount
Debentures"); however, IPC has no contractual obligations to distribute any
such cash flow to the Company.  In addition, IPC's senior credit facility
contains provisions that (except for certain limited exceptions) prohibit the
payment of dividends and distributions by IPC to the Company.  Moreover, the
indenture governing the 12-1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2002 (the
"12-1/2% Subordinated Note Indenture") contains provisions that limit IPC's
ability to pay dividends and make distributions to the Company.

       The Company's long-term debt, less current installments, increased to
$354.8 million at March 31, 1996 from $353.7 million at December 31, 1995
reflecting $3.0 million of accretion on the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures
less revolving credit facility payments of $700,000 and $1.3 million of
scheduled debt reductions.  The Company's long-term debt consists primarily of
the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures, with an accreted value of $96.4
million at March 31, 1996.  The long-term debt of the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, IPC, consists primarily of the $157.3 million of IPC's 12-1/2%
Senior Subordinated Notes (the "12-1/2% IPC Notes"), term loans of $58.8
million under IPC's senior credit facility, $38.3 million of industrial revenue
bonds and revolving credit facility borrowings of $7.8 million.

       At March 31, 1996, IPC had cash and cash equivalents of $4.9 million and
$46.1 million was available under the revolving credit portion of IPC's senior
credit facility.  IPC's working capital at March 31, 1996 was $40.9 million.

       The Company's primary long-term cash requirements are for the debt
service relating to the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures.  Commencing on
September 15, 2000, cash interest on the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures
will be payable semi-annually and on March 15, 2005, the 13-1/4% Company
Discount Debentures will mature and the aggregate principal amount then
outstanding will become due and payable.  The Company will be dependent on the
cash flow of IPC and IPC's subsidiaries in order to meet its debt service
obligations.  Significant contractual and other restrictions exist on the
payment of dividends and the making of loans by IPC to the Company.  In
addition, as a result of the goodwill write-offs in 1993 and 1995, IPC's
ability to make distributions to the Company under the 12-1/2% Subordinated
Note Indenture has been impaired; consequently this Indenture will require
modification before any such distributions to the Company can be made.
Regardless, IPC and IPC's subsidiaries may not generate sufficient cash flows
to distribute to the Company in order for the Company to service the cash
interest payments on the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures that commence in
September 2000 or to retire the $160 million principal amount of 13-1/4%
Company Discount Debentures upon their maturity in 2005.  Consequently, all or
a portion of the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures may require refinancing
prior to such dates.  The Company believes that distributions from IPC and its
access to debt financing in the public and private markets should be sufficient
to enable it to retire all or a portion of the principal amount of the 13-1/4%
Company Discount Debentures and to refinance any remaining principal amount of
the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures upon their maturity in 2005, although
there can be no assurance that this will be the case.  In the event that the
Company is unable to service the cash interest payments on or to retire or
refinance the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures or unable to obtain any
required consents from the holders of the 12-1/2% IPC Notes to make interest
payments on the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures, the Company may be
required to, among other things, seek appropriate waivers from such





                                       10
<PAGE>   11
creditors or recapitalize its capital structure.  During the period prior to
September 15, 2000, the Company does not expect to have significant cash
requirements.

       The primary short-term and long-term operating cash requirements for
IPC, the Company's wholly owned operating subsidiary, are for debt service,
working capital and capital expenditures.  The Company expects IPC to rely on
cash generated from IPC's and IPC's subsidiaries' operations, supplemented by
revolving credit facility borrowings under IPC's senior credit facility (at
March 31, 1996, $46.1 million was available under the revolving credit portion
of IPC's senior credit facility), to fund IPC's principal short-term and
long-term cash requirements.  The Company believes that IPC and IPC's
subsidiaries should generate sufficient cash flows to service the cash interest
payments on the 12-1/2% IPC Notes from 1996 to their maturity in 2002, although
there can be no assurances that such cash flows, if any, will be adequate to
service these interest payments.  However, IPC and IPC's subsidiaries may not
generate sufficient cash flows to retire the $158.0 million principal amount of
12-1/2% IPC Notes prior to or upon their maturity in 2002.  Consequently, all
or a portion of the 12-1/2% IPC Notes may require refinancing prior to the
maturity thereof.  IPC believes that its consolidated cash flow from operations
and access to debt financing in the public and private markets should be
sufficient to enable it to retire all or a portion of the principal amount of
the 12-1/2% IPC Notes and to refinance any remaining principal amount of the
12-1/2% IPC Notes prior to or upon their maturity, although there can be no
assurance that this will be the case.  In the event that IPC is unable to
retire or refinance the 12-1/2% IPC Notes, IPC may be required to, among other
things, seek appropriate waivers from such creditors or recapitalize its
capital structure.  IPC is required to maintain certain financial ratios and
levels of net worth and, among other things, future indebtedness and dividends
are restricted under these facilities.

       The 12-1/2% IPC Notes require semi-annual interest payments on June 15
and December 15 and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and
future senior indebtedness of IPC.  The 12-1/2% IPC Notes are redeemable at the
option of IPC, in whole or in part, on or after December 15, 1997 at the
following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of the principal amount
thereof), plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.  If redeemed during
the twelve-month period beginning December 15,

       Each holder of the 12-1/2% IPC Notes may require IPC to repurchase such
holders' 12-1/2% IPC Notes in the event of a change of control at 101% of
principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase.  The
indenture under which the 12-1/2% IPC Notes are issued contains certain
covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of IPC to incur
additional indebtedness, pay dividends or repurchase stock.

        IPC's senior credit facility is comprised of $58.8 million in term
loans, a $45.0 million letter of credit facility and a $55.0 million revolving
credit facility of which approximately $46.1 million was available at March 31,
1996.  The term loans require quarterly payments of $1.3 million from March 31,
1996 through September 30, 1997; $1.9 million from December 31, 1997 through
September 30, 1998; $3.0 million from December 31, 1998 through September 30,
1999; $3.5 million from December 31, 1999 through September 30, 2000; $4.1
million from December 31, 2000 through June 30, 2001; and $5.4 million on
September 30, 2001.  At the option of IPC, the term loans and borrowings on the
revolving credit facility bear interest at the LIBOR reserve adjusted rate, as
defined, plus 2.25% or the prime rate plus 1.0%.  Such rates are subject to
change based on IPC's ability to achieve certain financial ratios as defined in
IPC's senior credit facility.  IPC pays a fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of
the revolving credit facility.  Borrowings are secured by substantially all the
assets of IPC and its subsidiaries and the stock of IPC and IPC's subsidiaries.
Under IPC's senior credit facility, IPC is required to maintain certain
financial ratios and levels of net worth while future indebtedness and
dividends are restricted.

<PAGE>   12
       Beginning January 6, 1996, IPC entered into interest rate swap
agreements for the term loans for notional amounts totaling $60.0 million
through January 19, 1999.  Such agreements effectively fix IPC's LIBOR base
rate at 5.33% and income or expense related to settlements under the swap
agreements are recorded as adjustments to interest expense in IPC's financial
statements.

       IPC's industrial revenue bonds require monthly interest payments and are
due in varying amounts and dates through 2009.  Certain letters of credit under
IPC's senior credit facility provide credit enhancement for IPC's industrial
revenue bonds.

       Primarily as a consequence of the Company's 1993 and 1995 goodwill
write-offs, as of March 31, 1996, the Company's recorded assets are less than
its recorded liabilities by approximately $137.1 million.  The Company believes
that its negative net worth will not have any material consequences on its
operations or its ability to obtain trade credit or financing.

       The Company made capital expenditures of $3.4 million and $1.6 million
for each of the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and
expects that its capital expenditures in 1996 will approximate $18.0 million to
$22.0 million.  The Company was not committed under any material contractual
obligations for capital expenditures as of March 31, 1996.
