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


GENERAL INFORMATION:

Tufco Technologies, Inc. (formerly Tufco Holding Company, the "Company") was
organized in 1992 to acquire Tufco Industries, Inc. (located in Green Bay, WI)
which was incorporated in Wisconsin in 1974. Executive Converting Corporation
(located in Dallas, TX) was acquired in 1994. Hamco, Industries, Inc. (located
in Newton, NC) was acquired in 1995. Foremost Manufacturing, Inc. (located in
St. Louis, Missouri) was acquired November 13, 1997.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, manufactures and
distributes business imaging paper products and Away-From-Home towels and
wipes, provides diversified contract manufacturing and specialty printing
services, and distributes paint sundry products used in home improvement
projects.

The Company normally operates at lower operating levels during the first and
second quarters of its fiscal year which ends September 30. This occurs because
of the seasonal demand for certain printed products displaying a holiday theme
as well as products which are used by customers in conjunction with end-of-year
activities. These products are normally shipped during the Company's third and
fourth fiscal quarters. Demand for its paint sundry products is generally lower
during the first and second fiscal quarters as cold weather restricts the
amount of new construction and remodeling projects that require the Company's
products.

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

NET SALES:

Net sales declined $0.5 million (3%) for the three month period ended March 31,
1999. However, for the six month period, sales increased $1.2 million or 3%,
primarily due to the additive impact of Foremost which was acquired November
13, 1997. Adjusted for the additional Foremost sales in fiscal 1999, net sales
for the six months are virtually even with fiscal 1998. For both the three and
six month periods, sales of the Company's Business Imaging Products have
declined (down $2.0 million and $3.5 million, 24% and 21% respectively) due to
heavy competition in the marketplace. An abundance of inexpensive raw materials
and available used production equipment resulted in several new competitors
entering the Business Imaging market. These new competitors have used low
prices on key high volume products in an effort to win new accounts, and Tufco
has lost several large accounts as a result of these tactics. Tufco has lowered
its own prices to combat the competition, and the Company has been successful
in reacquiring some of the lost business. Tufco remains committed to the
Business Imaging sector, and the Company is working to reduce its costs while
strengthening its relationships with its customers. The Company's strongest
sales growth occurred in the Contract Manufacturing and Specialty Printing
sector where the Company began providing manufacturing services for Procter &
Gamble Manufacturing (P&G). Revenue from this contract manufacturing
relationship helped sector net sales increase $1.1 million (26%) and $2.3
million (28%) for the three and six month periods. Management forecasts
continued growth in this key area as new manufacturing projects begin
operations in the third and fourth fiscal quarters. The Company's Paint Sundry
sector remains strong, with acquisition-adjusted net sales increasing 9% and
10% for the three and six month periods, respectively. Finally, sales in the
Away-From-Home sector (AFH) increased modestly for the quarter (up 1%). The
availability of base raw materials for the AFH sector diminished during the
quarter, limiting the Company's ability to expand its sales base. Management is
negotiating with several potential suppliers to increase the availability of
raw materials.

GROSS PROFIT:

Gross profit increased $0.2 million (9%) and $0.5 million (10%) for the three
and six month periods. For the second quarter, the 9% increase in gross profit
was in spite of lower sales, and was primarily the result of the new P&G
contract manufacturing production line. The revenue derived by Tufco from this
agreement is service revenue and contains very little material cost. As a
result, the margins are higher, helping Tufco to report increases in gross
profit margins (15.1% and 15.7% compared to 13.5% and 14.7%) for the three and
six month periods respectively.

OPERATING EXPENSES:

Operating expenses increased $0.1 million (5%) and $0.4 million (11%) for the
three and six month periods. Adjusted for the Foremost acquisition, operating
expenses increased only $0.3 million (8%) for the six month period. Higher
compensation costs accounted for most of the increase, as well as costs to
attend a major trade show during the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

OPERATING INCOME:

Operating income increased $0.1 million for the three and six month periods.
For the quarter, operating income was up 21% primarily as a result of higher
gross profit.

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

INTEREST EXPENSE:

Interest expense was virtually unchanged for the three month period, and up
$44,000 for the year-to-date. The six month increase is due to one additional
month of interest in fiscal 1999 on the acquisition debt associated with
Foremost.

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Net income increased $0.1 million (43%) and $0.2 million (42%) for the three
and six month periods. During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company
sold certain idle production equipment resulting in an increase of
approximately $184,000 in year-to-date net income. Earnings per share for the
three and six month periods increased to $0.8 and $.18 (basic and diluted)
compared to $.05 (basic and diluted) and $.13 (basic) and $.12 (diluted) in the
prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

For the six months ended March 31, 1998, the Company used $459,000 to fund
operations compared to a use of $848,000 one year ago. The primary uses of cash
in fiscal 1999 were to fund investment in inventory and accounts receivable. At
March 31, 1999 the Company had advanced approximately $1.7 million for
manufacturing equipment for which the Company is to be repaid within 30 days
under an agreement with a major customer. The additional debt incurred for
these advances caused the Company to be in violation of a financial covenant
under its credit agreement which limits allowable indebtedness. The Company has
obtained a waiver effective March 31, 1999 from its lenders for this covenant.
Adjusted for this non-customary item, the Company generated approximately $1.3
million in cash from operations during the first six months of fiscal 1999.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million for the six months ended
March 21, 1999, resulting from the purchase of production equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 million for the first six
months of fiscal 1999 and was comprised of additional borrowings ($2.5 million)
used to finance inventories and receivables, offset by the repayment of $0.8
million in long-term debt.

The Company anticipates signing a commitment to enter into a 10 year operating
lease for a $4 million printing press to be installed in the Company's Green
Bay, Wisconsin facility. The commitment letter will be signed during the third
fiscal quarter, and the equipment should be operational in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000. The press will enhance the Company's technical printing
capabilities while reducing operating costs.

Company management believes that cash flow from operations will be sufficient
to fund its capital needs for fiscal 1999 and does not anticipate any
significant increase in borrowings during the year.

As of May 10, 1999, the Company had approximately $2.7 million available under
its revolving credit line.

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

YEAR 2000 SYSTEM ISSUES:

Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in the
date field, and if not corrected, many computer applications could fail or
create erroneous results by or at the year 2000. Left uncorrected, year 2000
systems issues could have a material negative impact on the Company's
operations and its profitability.

In response to ongoing business needs, Tufco has begun implementing a new
Enterprise Resource Planning system, and the year 2000 issue was one of the
design pre-requisites for this new system. As of March 31, 1999 the Company has
spent $1.7 million for hardware, software and consulting services related to
the project, and management estimates it will spend an additional $0.2 million
for completion of the conversion to the new system which began in fiscal 1998
and is scheduled to be completed in fiscal 1999. While the Company has taken
every precaution to ensure that the new information system will operate
properly in the year 2000, management has relied on assurances and warranties
by its hardware and software vendors. The Company will continue to test its new
systems for year 2000 compliance throughout the implementation process. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the possible negative impact on the
Company of year 2000 issues relating to its significant vendors and customers,
and management is finalizing that analysis. The Company is also nearing
completion on its analysis of the potential impact of embedded date sensitive
programs included in any software used to operate its production equipment.
While management has not uncovered any specific instances where year 2000
issues have not been addressed, the Company cannot rule out the possibility of
difficulties arising from year 2000 issues.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: 

Management's discussion of the Company's 1999 quarterly periods in comparison
to 1998, contains forward-looking statements regarding current expectations,
risks and uncertainties for future periods. The actual results could differ
materially from those discussed here. As well as those factors discussed in
this report, other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, among other items, significant changes in the cost of base paper
stock, competition in the Company's product areas, or an inability of
management to successfully reduce operating expenses in relation to net sales
without damaging the long-term direction of the Company. Therefore, the
condensed financial data for the periods presented may not be indicative of the
Company's future financial condition or results of operations.
