1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of  September 30, 1996, 
consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 
30, 1995 and 1996 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the three 
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited but, in the opinion of 
management, include all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring accruals 
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of 
operations for such periods.  Certain information and footnote disclosures 
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to 
applicable requirements for the presentation of interim financial statements, 
although the Company believes that the disclosures included in the financial 
statements included herein are adequate to make the information therein not 
misleading. The financial statements included herein should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for 
the year ended June 30, 1996, and the notes thereto, which are included in 
the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Additional 
copies are available from the Company.

The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

As discussed in Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for 
its fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the Company has completed acquisitions 
of other companies on June 17, 1993, May 12, 1994, February 10, 1995, and May 
9, 1996.  Each of these acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases 
and, accordingly, their results of operations have been included with those 
of the Company from their respective dates of purchase.  The following table 
sets forth the unaudited pro forma results of operations for each of the 
indicated periods as if these acquisitions were completed at the beginning of 
the earliest period presented:

USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date 
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.   REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

     The Company has a line of credit agreement with a financial institution, 
which expires in 2000.  The agreement provides for borrowings up to the 
lesser of $15,000,000 or, the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus 
the lesser of 50% of eligible inventory or $6 million.  The agreement also 
provides the Company with the facility to issue letters of credit for the 
purchase of equipment provided, however, that the aggregate amount of letters 
of credit outstanding at any time cannot exceed $1 million.  Borrowings under 
the revolving line of credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate (     % 
at September 30, 1996) plus 1%.

     At September 30, 1996, covenants contained in the line of credit 
agreement required the Company to maintain certain financial statistics 
related to working capital, interest coverage, fixed charge ratio and net 
worth, measured quarterly on a consolidated basis.

     At September 30, 1996, the Company was in compliance with the above 
mentioned covenant requirements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS

     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") 
provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage 
companies to provide prospective information about their business without 
fear of litigation so long as their statements are identified as 
forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements 
identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ 
materially from those projected in such statements.

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements about the 
Company's projected financial results and its future plans and strategies. 
These statements are forward-looking in nature and involve a number of risks 
and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those included 
in the forward-looking statements made herein. Among the factors that could 
cause actual results to differ materially are the following: the availability 
of sufficient capital to finance the Company's business plans on terms 
satisfactory to the Company; competitive factors such as the introduction of 
new product lines or production methods in the same markets; changes in 
development and operating costs, including costs of resources, labor and 
shipping; risks associated with debt financing, including the Company's 
ability to meet required payments of principal and interest; general business 
and economic conditions; and other risk factors described from time to time 
in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchnage Commission.

     THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH, AND IS 
QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY, THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES 
THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS QUARTERLY REPORT.  HISTORICAL RESULTS AND 
PERCENTAGE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG ANY AMOUNTS INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLIDATED 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF TRENDS IN OPERATING 
RESULTS FOR ANY FUTURE PERIOD.

BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY AND ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING

     The Company was organized on April 22, 1993 to acquire and operate 
complementary plastic container manufacturers within the United States.  The 
Company currently manufactures plastic containers, caps, closures, and 
fitments in the Gulf Coast, Western, Midwestern, and Eastern regions of the 
United States.  In May 1996, the Company acquired Vanguard Plastics of 
California, Inc. ("Vanguard") a privately held plastic container 
manufacturing company, and in June 1996, the Company sold its distribution 
operations.

In May of 1996, the Company completed a reorganization of its wholly owned 
subsidiaries, Texberry Container Corporation ("Texberry") and Patrick 
Plastics, Inc. ("Patrick"), transferring Texberry's manufacturing operations 
to, and merging Patrick with, the third wholly owned subsidiary, Continental 
Plastics, Incorporated ("Continental"), which had been renamed RXI Plastics, 
Inc. ("Plastics").

The acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases, giving rise to 
significant amounts of intangible assets and related amortization expense in 
subsequent periods.  In addition, these acquisitions have been financed 
through the incurrence of debt and the issuance of preferred stock, which has 
resulted in increased financing costs when compared with the historical 
results of the acquired businesses.

The Company's acquisitions have enabled it to enter new markets and increase 
penetration of existing markets, resulting in significant sales growth.  Upon 
the consummation of each acquisition, the Company has endeavored to identify 
all material net assets of each acquired business in order to allocate the 
total purchase price to those assets.  In each case, this has included an 
evaluation of the fungibility of current assets and current liabilities, and 
the state of manufacturing and other equipment and facilities.  Material 
amounts of goodwill have also been recorded and are being amortized against 
earnings.

The Company's strategy includes increased investment in its acquired 
companies to increase their productivity and better position them to pursue 
growth opportunities.  This strategy has resulted in significant capital 
expenditures at the Company's facility in Argos, Indiana during the fiscal 
year ending June 30, 1996.  The Company also has phased in  a new management 
information system and has trained personnel and installed hardware.  Costs 
associated with the consolidation of manufacturing operations, and phasing in 
new management information systems, including the training of personnel, have 
been charged to operations as incurred.  Management anticipates that the future 
benefits of these actions will include reduced manufacturing costs that reflect 
lower labor costs and higher throughput from (i) added automation and 
manufacturing process improvements, (ii) increased product quality, (iii) better
material control and reduced scrap, resulting in increased customer 
satisfaction, and increased sales supported by new capacity.  The full effect 
of, and savings from, these types of programs are rarely achieved in the fiscal 
year in which they were first implemented.  The Company believes these 
expenditures will result in improved operating results and cash flows over those
which would otherwise have been achieved.

</TABLE>


THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

     Due to the acquisition of Vanguard in May 1996, the results for the 1996 
period include the results of operations for Vanguard that are not in the 
comparable 1995 period.  Also, due to the disposition of the Company's 
distribution operations, effective June 1, 1996, the results for the 1996 
period do not include results of distribution operations that are in the 
comparable 1995 period.

     NET SALES.   Net sales of $18.6 million for the three months ended 
September 30,1996, decreased $3.9 million from net sales of $22.5 million for 
the three months ended September 30, 1995.  The decrease reflects the 
inclusion of  $7.4 million, in 1995, of net sales related to the Company's 
distribution operations, which are not in the comparable 1996 results.  This 
decrease is offset by the inclusion of $3.1 million of net sales of Vanguard 
which was acquired in May 1996, and therefore not fully included in the 
comparable 1995 results.  Excluding the effects of the disposition and 
acquisition, sales increased $0.4 million from 1995 to 1996, due to higher 
sales volumes.

     GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit of $4.5 million in 1996 was flat compared to 
$4.5 million in 1995.  The 1995 period includes $1.3 million of gross profit 
from the Company's distribution operations, which are not in the comparable 
1996 period.  This is offset by the inclusion, in the 1996 results, of $0.7 
million of gross profit from Vanguard.  Excluding the effects of the 
disposition and the acquisition, gross profit increased $0.6 million from 
1995 to 1996.  This increase was  primarily the result of increased 
production levels, and reductions in materials costs at the Company's West 
Virginia operations.

                                        9

<PAGE>

The Company's manufacturing unit volume during the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 increased by 9.2% compared to manufacturing unit volume 
during the three months ended September 30, 1995. Manufacturing volume during 
the 1996 period was higher than in the 1995 period as a response to increased 
seasonal and new customer demand. This had a favorable impact on gross profit 
of $0.1 million. In addition to the increased levels of production and as a 
result of declining resin prices in the last half of fiscal year 1996, a 
lower level of fixed costs were allocated to each item produced, and when the 
related products were sold,a higher gross profit was realized. This had a 
favorable impact on the Company's gross profit of $0.3 million. The Company 
recognized materials cost savings at its West Virginia operations of $0.2 
million, due to an increase in production of higher margin product and a 
decrease in production of lower margin product in the 1996 quarter over the 
1995 quarter.

Gross margin has improved from 20.1% of sales in 1995 to 24.3% of sales in 
the 1996 period. Without including the distribution operations gross margin 
in the 1995 period and Vanguard's gross margin in the 1996 period, gross 
margin has improved from 14.2% of sales in 1995 to 20.4% of sales in 1996. 
The increase in gross margin reflects higher production levels, lower costs
associated with units sold, and materials cost savings at the Company's West 
Virginia operations. These factors favorably impacted gross profit as a 
percentage of sales by 1%, 2%, and 1%, respectively.

     OPERATING EXPENSES.   Operating expenses of $3.6 million in 1996 
decreased $0.6 million from $4.2 million in 1995. This decrease represents 
personnel, rent, utilities and other administrative cost savings, of $0.6 
million, realized as a result of the sale of the distribution operations. The 
decrease is offset by the inclusion in the 1996 results of $0.4 million of 
operating expenses at Vanguard. Excluding the results of Vanguard in 1996 and 
the results of the distribution operations in 1995, operating expenses 
decreased $0.4 million from 1995, consisting of $0.1 million decrease 
realized at the Company's West Virginia operations as a result of a reduction 
in sales personnel, and $0.3 million decreases realized at the Company's 
Houston operations as a result of the reorganization that occurred in June 
1996.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.   Interest expense of $2.7 million in 1996 was 
consistent with interest expense of $2.7 million in 1995. The consistency is 
represented by slightly lower balances on the Company's revolving credit 
facility offset by additional indebtedness related to the acquisition of 
Vanguard.

     PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES.   During the 1996 quarter the 
Company recorded a provision for income taxes of  $0.1 million compared to a 
benefit for income taxes of $0.8 million in the 1995 quarter.  The provision 
recorded in 1996 arises from potentially taxable income in that quarter.  The 
effective rate of 4.8% is less than the effective rate of 31.9% recorded in 
1995, primarily because of the limitations on benefits generated from the 
losses in 1996.  The effective tax rate in the 1996 period is less than the 
statutory rate due to goodwill and other permanent differences from the sale 
of the distribution operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's liquidity and capital resources have been significantly 
impacted by its acquisition and financing activities and has been recently 
adversely impacted by the reduction in operating income and the increase in 
interest costs.

     The Company has historically financed its business activities and 
acquisitions through debt, preferred and common equity placements and 
internally generated cash flow. During the three months ended September 30, 
1996, the Company's operations used approximately $1.6 million in cash 
compared with $1.7 million in 1995. Cash flow from operations was positively 
affected by an increase in accrued liabilities of $2.2 million, offset by 
increases in accounts receivable of $0.4 million, inventories of $0.2 
million, prepaid expenses of $0.06 million and reductions in accounts payable 
and accrued interest of $1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

     The Company's investing activities used $1.4 million in the three months 
ended September 30, 1996 compared with $1.6 million in 1995. These uses 
largely reflect capital expenditures of $1.4 million in 1996 and $1.6 million 
in 1995. The capital investments are directed toward increasing the 
efficiency and overall capacity of the Company's manufacturing operations. 
The capital investments in the 1996 period are principally related to new 
machinery and equipment at the Company's West Virginia facility and have been 
funded primarily through internally generated cash flow. The capital 
investments in 1995 were primarily related to starting operations at the 
Company's Argos, Indiana facility. At September 30, 1996, the Company has 
outstanding commitments to purchase approximately $2.5 million for 
manufacturing machinery and equipment and molds. The Company expects to take 
delivery of this equipment through January 1997.

     The Company has a line of credit agreement with a bank which provides 
for up to $15 million of borrowings (expandable to $20 million) limited to 
specific amounts of inventory and accounts receivable. At November 7, 1996, 
outstanding borrowings and remaining availability under the revolving line of 
credit agreement were $9.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively. At 
September 30, 1996, covenants contained in the line of credit agreement 
required the Company to maintain certain levels of working capital 
deficiency, interest coverage, fixed charge coverage, and net worth, which 
are measured quarterly on a consolidated basis. At September 30, 1996, the 
Company was in compliance with the above mentioned covenant requirements.

     Following the sale of the Company's senior notes and as a result of the 
debt incurred to finance the Company's acquisitions and capital improvements, 
the Company became substantially leveraged. The degree to which the Company 
is leveraged (i) could impact the ability of the Company to obtain additional 
financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures or general 
corporate purposes, (ii) will require the Company to devote a substantial 
portion of its cash flow from operations to the payment of interest on 
indebtedness, and (iii) may result in the Company's becoming more vulnerable 
to economic conditions or competitive pressures.

     While the three months ended September 30, 1996 have shown a modest 
improvement to gross profit, the higher cash requirements to service the 
Company's indebtedness has resulted in lower liquidity levels. Management has 
taken numerous steps to improve the Company's liquidity, including the sale 
of the distribution operations in June 1996, the reduction of personnel and 
other administrative costs, as well as steps to improve the gross margin of 
its manufacturing operations. In addition, management is coontinuing to 
explore avenues to increase the Company's liquidity, including additional 
sales of selected assets and issuances of additional debt or equity.

     The sale of the distribution operations in June 1996, provided 
additional liquidity of approximately $2.1 million. As a result of this sale, 
working capital needs have been reduced and cost savings were achieved 
through the closure of the Company's branch operations, including a reduction 
in administrative personnel and other related costs.

     The Company has invested significantly in new machinery and equipment 
over the past three years to improve its manufacturing operations. As a 
result, the Company expects to be able to reduce its capital expenditures to 
approximately $5.0 million in 1997, which is less than previous years' 
levels. A significant portion of these capital expenditures are expected to 
be financed under currently available borrowing arrangements.

     Management believes that the Company's continued focus on increasing 
sales while decreasing costs of operations coupled with the recent 
acquisition of Vanguard and the reorganization of the Company's operating 
units will lead to increased production capabilities and eventually, an 
increase in the Company's customer base.

     While management is optimistic that sufficient liquidity can be 
maintained through the above actions, its current borrowing arrangements, and 
ultimately through improved operating results at the Company's operating 
units, there can be no assurance that such additional sources of liquidity 
will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, or that 
operating results can be improved sufficiently to cover all of the Company's 
obligations, or that a sale of assets can be effected, or that any sale of 
assets will not adversely affect the Company's future operating results.

EBITDA.   EBITDA is computed by adding the sum of interest income, interest 
expense, amortization of deferred loan costs, depreciation and amortization, 
to income before income taxes.  EBITDA is presented to provide additional 
information about the Company's ability to meet its future debt service, 
capital expenditure and working capital requirements.  EBITDA is not an 
alternative to operating income as a measure of liquidity or representative 
of cash available to fund all cash flow needs.

EBITDA of $2.7 million (14.7% of net sales) in the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 was higher as compared with $1.9 million (8.6% of net 
sales) in the 1995 period. EBITDA in 1996 includes the results of Vanguard 
which provided $0.4 million of EBITDA. Excluding the effect of Vanguard, 
EBITDA increassed $0.4 million. This increase was due to the improvement of 
the Company's gross margin in 1996 compared to 1995, as discussed above under 
Gross Profit, and the decreases in personnel costs as discussed above under 
Operating Expenses.
