(4) Earnings Per Share

         The Company has adopted the provisions of the Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128
    replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share
    with a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic
    earnings per share computations are based on the weighted average number
    of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is
    based upon the weighted average of common shares and dilutive common
    stock equivalent shares outstanding during each period. All earnings per
    share amounts for all periods have been restated to conform to SFAS No.
    128 requirements. The weighted average number of shares used to compute
    diluted income per share consisted of the following:

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997

    The Company's net sales decreased 1.8% to $10,750,000 for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1998, from $10,952,000 in the same period a year ago. The
slight decrease in sales is attributable to volume slowdowns at two electronics
customers affected by the Asian crisis and to a single non-recurring order that
occurred in the first quarter of 1997.

    Cost of sales as a percentage of sales improved to 73.5% in the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998, from 75.1 % in the 1997 period. The
improvement in the cost of sales margin was primarily attributable to continued
manufacturing efficiency improvements associated with the Company's molded fiber
products and a more favorable mix of products in the Company's foam and plastics
packaging products.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 2.1% to $2,319,000
in the first quarter of 1998, from $2,270,000 in the same period a year ago. The
slight increase is primarily attributable to additions to the management team as
well as to the implementation of new information software systems.


                                       5
<PAGE>

    Interest expense increased 5.5% to $144,000 for the first quarter of 1998,
from $137,000 in the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in capital lease obligations associated with the
Company's purchase of additional molded fiber equipment in the second half of
1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company funds its operating expenses, capital requirements and growth
plan through internally generated cash, bank credit facilities and long-term
capital leases.

    At March 31, 1998 the Company's working capital was approximately 
$2,747,000, including $410,000 of cash and equivalents. During the quarter 
ended March 31,1998, the operating activities of the Company provided 
approximately $178,000 in cash, primarily due to profits, plus depreciation 
and amortization, offset by increases in inventories and accounts receivable 
and a decrease in accrued expenses. The increase in inventories and accounts 
receivables was caused by increased sales and product demand in the later 
part of the quarter. Net cash used in investing activities of $253,000 was 
primarily caused by additions to capital equipment, offset by the sale of 
land acquired with the purchase of Foam Cutting Engineers in January 1997. 
Net cash generated from financing activities totaled approximately $251,000 
due to an increase in short-term borrowings offset by principal payments of 
long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

    While the Company does not have any significant capital commitments, it 
intends to continue to invest in capital equipment to support its operations. 
The Company is also engaged in discussions with certain parties regarding 
potential strategic acquisitions, but presently does not have any agreements 
to enter into any such acquisitions. The Company intends to fund any such 
acquisitions with working capital and bank financing. There can be no 
assurance that such financing would be available on favorable terms, if at 
all.

    The Company has a $5,000,000 revolving bank loan facility, of which 
$3,000,000 was outstanding on March 31,1998. This facility expires on June 
30, 1998. Borrowings through the credit facility are unsecured, and bear 
interest at prime or LIBOR Plus 1.75%. In addition, at March 31, 1998, the 
Company had approximately $666,000 outstanding under a mortgage note and 
$29,000 outstanding under an equipment note. At March 31,1998, the current 
portion of these obligations, together with the Company's line of credit 
totaled $3,082,000.

    The Company believes that its existing resources, including its 
revolving loan facility, together with cash generated from operations and 
funds expected to be available to it through any necessary equipment 
financing and additional bank borrowings, will be sufficient to fund its cash 
flow requirements through at least the end of 1998. However, there can be no 
assurances that such financing will be available at favorable terms, if at 
all.

YEAR 2000 DATA CONVERSION

    The Company is in the process of implementing comprehensive computer 
systems which are prepared for the year 2000. The implementation schedule 
anticipates a complete conversion prior to January 1, 2000. The Company 
presently believes that, with the conversion to new software, the year 2000 
problem will not pose a significant operational problem to the Company. 
However, there can be

                                       6

<PAGE>

no assurance that the systems of other parties upon which the Company's 
businesses also rely, including but not limited to the Company's customers 
and suppliers, will be converted on a timely basis. The Company's business, 
financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely 
affected by the failure of its systems or those of other parties to operate 
or properly manage dates beyond 1999.
