NOTE 4 - ACQUISITIONS
On January 17, 1997, IPC purchased substantially all of the assets,
excluding accounts receivable, of the OPS business of Viskase Limited located
in Sedgefield, England for $11,907. On February 21, 1997, IPC purchased all of
the outstanding common stock of M&R Plastics, Inc. ("M&R") located in Laval,

through revolving credit borrowings under IPC's senior credit facility. As a
result of these borrowings, IPC amended and restated its senior credit facility
on March 24, 1997 to, among other things, increase its revolving credit
facility from $55,000 to $105,000.

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, 1997 AND MARCH 31,
1996
Net Sales
The Company's net sales increased by 22.7% during the first quarter of
1997 over the Company's net sales during the corresponding period in 1996
primarily as a result of significantly increased volume of extruded sheet and
film and incremental sales volume associated with recently completed
acquisitions. The following table sets forth information with respect to net
sales of the Company's product groups for the periods presented:
<TABLE>

---------- -------- -------- -------
Total ......... $ 127,864 100.0 $104,216 100.0
========== ======== ======== =======
</TABLE>
Consumer Packaging net sales increased by 44.3% during the first quarter
of 1997 from the corresponding period in 1996 resulting from increased unit
sales volume of extruded sheet and film, the third quarter 1996 acquisitions
of Plastofilm Industries, Inc. ("Plastofilm") and Trio Products, Inc. ("Trio"),
and the first quarter 1997 acquisitions of the Sedgefield, England OPS
operations and M&R. During the first quarter of 1997, domestic production of
extruded sheet in pounds increased 36.1% while the average selling price per
pound decreased 2.8% from the corresponding period in 1996. Sales of extruded
film pounds increased 40.8% during the first quarter of 1997 and the selling
price per pound of extruded film decreased 5.9% from the corresponding period
in 1996. Sales of converted plastic and paper products, excluding the sales
relating to the newly acquired facilities, increased slightly during the first
quarter of 1997 over the first quarter of 1996.
Industrial Packaging net sales increased by 2.8% during the first quarter
of 1997 from the corresponding period in 1996, primarily due to increased unit
volume of the Company's protective masking products and recycled and specialty
papers. The increase in net sales was partially offset by a decrease in volume
of the Company's coated paper for stamp applications and a decrease in the
average net selling price per ton for the Company's recycled and specialty
paper. The number of tons of recycled and specialty paper sold during the
period increased 12.9%. However, the average net selling price of the
Company's recycled and specialty paper decreased 7.9% during the first quarter
of 1997 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, principally as
a result of decreases in raw material costs.
Gross Profit
The Company's gross profit increased 22.9% during the first quarter of
1997 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily as a
result of the increased sales volume and the incremental effects from the newly
acquired facilities partially offset by weak margins in the Company's recycled
and specialty paper operations due to market conditions and decreased
profitability of the Company's polymerization operations. Gross profit margin
was 20.6% during the first quarter of 1997 and 1996.

<PAGE> 9
Operating Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased 29.7% during the first
quarter of 1997 primarily as a result of the recently completed acquisitions.
As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to
11.3% during the first quarter of 1997 compared to 10.7% during the same period
in the prior year primarily due to the higher selling and administrative
expenses at Plastofilm and the additional management committed to the Company's
protective masking products group.
Amortization of intangibles increased 22.1% during the first quarter of
1997 compared to the same period in 1996 as a result of increased goodwill and
non-compete agreement amortization associated with the recently completed
acquisitions.
Income from Operations
Income from operations was $11.8 million during the first quarter of 1997
compared to income from operations of $10.2 million during the first quarter of
1996. The increase in income from operations is primarily a result of the
increased volume of extruded OPS sheet and film during the first quarter of
1997 and the recently completed acquisitions. Operating margin was 9.2% for
the first quarter of 1997 compared to operating margin of 9.8% during the first
quarter of 1996. The decrease in operating margin is primarily due to the
increased selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Interest Expense
Interest expense during the first quarter of 1997 was $11.1 million
compared to $10.8 million during the same period in 1996. The increase
reflects greater outstanding aggregate indebtedness during 1997 as a result of
accretion on the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures and additional borrowings
on IPC's revolving credit facility to finance the recently completed
acquisitions. The increase was partially offset by decreased interest rates on
the Company's senior credit facility.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income was $324,000 during the first quarter of 1997 compared to net
loss of $791,000 in the prior year. The increase in net income during the
first quarter of 1997 is primarily due to increased income from operations
partially offset by higher interest expense.
EBITDA
EBITDA includes income from operations adjusted to exclude depreciation
and amortization expenses, goodwill write-off, acquisition related expenses and
restructuring charge. The Company 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.

</TABLE>
The Company's EBITDA increased 13.1% from $15.9 million to $18.0 million
and EBITDA margin decreased from 15.3% to 14.1% during the first quarter of
1997 compared to the same period in 1996. The 27.8%, or $2.4 million, increase
in Consumer Packaging's EBITDA in the current quarter is primarily attributable
to the increased sales of extruded sheet and film and to the incremental EBITDA
from the acquisition of Plastofilm. The improved gross margin on the Company's
converted plastic and paper products caused primarily by reduced raw material
costs also contributed to the EBITDA increase. The decrease in Industrial
Packaging's EBITDA of 3.7%, or $316,000, is primarily due to decreased gross
profit associated with lower selling prices for the Company's recycled and
specialty paper and increased operating expenses in the Company's protective
masking business.
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
$399.0 million at March 31, 1997 from $352.9 million at December 31, 1996
primarily reflecting $3.4 million of accretion on the 13-1/4% Company Discount
Debentures, revolving credit facility borrowings of $44.9 million and $1.3
million of scheduled debt reductions. The Company's long-term debt consists of
the 13-1/4% Company Discount Debentures, with an accreted value of $109.6
million at March 31, 1997. The long-term debt of the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, IPC, consists primarily of the $157.4 million of IPC's 12-1/2%
Senior Subordinated Notes (the "12-1/2% IPC Notes"), term loans of $47.5
million under IPC's senior credit facility, revolving credit facility borrowing
of $44.9 million, $38.0 million of industrial revenue bonds and other debt of
$1.6 million.
At March 31, 1997, IPC had cash and cash equivalents of $7.3 million and
$56.5 million was available under the revolving credit portion of IPC's senior
credit facility. IPC's working capital at March 31, 1997 was $50.6 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
10
<PAGE> 11
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 is 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 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, 1997, $56.5 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 through 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 future indebtedness and dividends, among other things,
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.

Prior to March 24, 1997, IPC's senior credit facility was comprised of
$55.0 million in term loans, a $45.0 million letter of credit facility and a
$55.0 million revolving credit facility. On March 24, 1997, IPC amended and
restated this credit facility to, among other things, increase the revolving
credit facility to $105.0 million. At March 31, 1997, IPC's amended and
restated credit facility is comprised of $53.8 million in term loans, a $45.0
million letter of credit facility and a $105.0 million revolving credit
facility of which approximately $56.5 million was available as of March 31,
1997. The term loans under the amended and restated credit facility require
quarterly payments of $1.3 million from June 30, 1997 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
accrue interest at the LIBOR reserve adjusted rate, as defined in IPC's amended
and restated senior credit facility, 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. The Company's
actual interest rate on the term loans and the revolving credit facility as of
April 7, 1997 was the LIBOR reserve adjusted rate, as defined, plus 1.50% or
prime rate plus 0.50%. Borrowings are secured by substantially all the assets
of IPC and its subsidiaries and the stock of IPC and IPC's subsidiaries. The
revolving credit facility and letter of credit facility terminate on September
30, 2001. Under the amended and restated credit facility, IPC is required to
maintain certain financial ratios and levels of net worth and future
indebtedness and dividends are restricted, among other things.
During 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, 1997, the Company's recorded assets are less than
its recorded liabilities by approximately $126.8 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.
On January 17, 1997, IPC purchased substantially all of the assets,
excluding accounts receivable, of the OPS business of Viskase Limited located
in Sedgefield, England for $11.9 million and on February 21, 1997, IPC
purchased all of the outstanding common stock of M&R located in Laval, Quebec
for $18.7 million, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of M&R and
related acquisition fees and expenses. The acquired businesses were financed
through revolving credit borrowings under IPC's senior credit facility.
The Company made capital expenditures of $5.5 million and $3.4 million for
each of the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
Company was not committed under any material contractual obligations for
capital expenditures as of March 31, 1997.
