NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997


NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
all adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair
presentation of the information for the interim periods herein reported. The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include amounts that are
based on management's best estimates and judgments. 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 revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the
year ending December 31, 1997.


NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per common and common equivalent share is calculated using the weighted
average number of common shares issued and outstanding, adjusted for treasury
shares, and equivalent common shares derived from dilutive stock options and
warrants.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which simplifies
the current standards for computing earnings per share. SFAS 128 is effective
for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997, and earlier
application is not permitted. However, pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission the following pro forma amounts have been
computed in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 128:

NOTE 4 - AMENDED CREDIT AGREEMENT

On March 19, 1997, the Company amended its credit agreement with a bank to
provide financing of an additional $3.1 million term loan, under the same terms
and conditions of its previous credit agreement, for the specific purpose of
repaying in full the building mortgage on the Company's facility in Southern
California. The Company subsequently borrowed the $3.1 million under this
agreement and repaid the mortgage.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - MARCH 31, 1997 VS. 1996

"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995:

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not
historical facts may contain forward-looking statements that involve a number of
known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those discussed or anticipated by management. Potential
risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, general business
conditions, competitive market conditions, success of the Company's growth
strategy, delays or cancellation of orders, changes in the mix of products sold,
concentration of raw materials suppliers, fluctuating raw materials prices,
concentration of sales in markets and customers, changes in manufacturing
efficiencies, development and introduction of new products, fluctuations in
margins, timing of significant orders, and other risks and uncertainties
currently unknown to management.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased approximately 8%
to $16.2 million compared to $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
1996. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in sales of containers,
particularly flexible plastic tubes, partially offset by a decline in the sales
of closures and custom products. Although closure sales in the first quarter of
1997 were lower than the first quarter of 1996, such sales were higher than any
other 1996 quarter. The increases were largely due to increased demand from
existing customers and an expanding customer base.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased approximately
7% to $5.3 million from $4.9 million in the comparable period of 1996. As a
percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 32.7% for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, from 33.19% in the comparable period of the prior year.
The change in gross margin percentage was caused primarily by higher raw
material costs and changes in product mix.

Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased 13% to
$1,104,000 compared to $981,000 for the comparable period of the prior year. As
a percentage of net sales, selling expenses increased to 6.8% for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from 6.6% for the corresponding period of 1996.
The changes were due primarily to higher salaries and higher freight costs.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997
decreased to $979,000 from $1,132,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.0%
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from 7.6% for the same period in 1996.
Lower bad debt expense was the primary reason for the decrease in 1997.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997 decreased to $252,000
as compared to $336,000 in the same period in 1996, primarily as a result of
lower interest bearing debt outstanding during the period. Other income is
primarily interest income on short-term investments.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1997 of 36.0% as compared to
37.0% for the comparable period of 1996 reflects an increase in the estimated
state income tax credits related to the Company's location in a designated
revitalization zone.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's short-term liquidity needs have generally consisted of operating
capital necessary to fund growth in receivables and inventory. It has satisfied
the short-term requirements with cash generated from operations and secured bank
lines of credit. Long-term liquidity needs generally relate to capital
expenditures necessary to expand the Company's manufacturing operations. The
Company meets its long-term liquidity requirements with cash generated from
operations and five-year secured notes or capital leases with banks and finance
companies. The Company believes that cash generated by operations, supplemented
as necessary with funds expected to be available under its bank credit agreement
(which expires June 30, 1998), will provide sufficient resources to meet present
and reasonably foreseeable working capital requirements, debt service and other
cash needs throughout the term of the agreement.

Cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $3.3
million as compared to $2.9 million for the same period of 1996, reflecting the
higher net income in the first quarter of 1997. Cash used for the acquisition of
machinery and equipment was $0.9 million in the first three months of 1997
compared to $0.5 million for the same period of 1996. Cash used in financing
activities during the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $2.0 million as
compared to $3.4 million in the first three months of 1996, due to treasury
stock purchases and the repayment of $1.5 million on the Company's line of
credit in the first three months of 1996 versus a repayment of $950,000 on the
Company's line of credit in 1997. The Company also borrowed $3.1 million under
its bank credit agreement and repaid the mortgage on its Southern California
facility of approximately the same amount.
