                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)

                                December 31, 1996

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Leading Edge
Packaging, Inc. (the "Company") as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1996, and
for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures required
under generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and regulations
thereunder, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
fair presentation have been included.

      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.

      The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the entire year or for any other period. For the three and nine
month periods ended December 31, 1995 and at March 31, 1996, the financial
statements of the Company, successor to Rich City International Packaging
Limited's ("Rich City") North America Distribution Business ("N.A. Distribution
Business"), have been prepared on a "carved-out" basis as if the N.A.
Distribution Business had been in existence and operating independently prior to
the Assignment and Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") between
Rich City and the Company, which became effective on April 1, 1996. This
financial information does not purport to represent what the results of
operations or the financial position of the N.A. Distribution Business would
actually have been had the Distribution Agreement been in effect on such date or
at the beginning of the period. The formula of adding a 6% - 8% mark-up to the
cost to manufacture the packaging products under the Distribution Agreement was
not incorporated. For further information, refer to the Company's public
offering prospectus, dated December 2, 1996.

Note 2. Income Taxes

      No taxation has been provided for the six months ended September 30, 1995
as the carved-out business was not subject to taxation either in Hong Kong or
the United States. For the six months ended September 30, 


                                       5
<PAGE>

1996, the Company is subject to the income tax in the United States and an
income tax expense has been computed using a rate of 38% for U.S. federal and
state income taxes.

      There were no significant temporary timing differences during the periods
or at the balance sheet dates.

                          LEADING EDGE PACKAGING, INC.

Note 3. Bills Receivable

      Bills receivable represent accounts receivable in the form of bills of
exchange, whose acceptances and settlements are handled by banks.

      At December 31, 1996, the Company had not factored any bills receivable
with financial institutions.

Note 4. Inventories

      Effective April 1, 1996, the Company maintains inventories for
distribution to customers in the United States. These inventories represent
finished goods held for resale.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
       of Operations
       

      Certain statements under this item constitute "forward-looking statements"
under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act").
See "Part II. Item 5(a). Other Information."

      General

      The Company sells and distributes, in North America, packaging products
used primarily in the sale of luxury consumer goods. Its packaging products
include metal, plastic and paper based jewelry, optical and watch cases, pouches
and bags, and paper gift boxes. The Company has a 2,000 square-foot office and
showroom in the Empire State Building, 350 Fifth Avenue, New York City and a
33,000 square-foot office and warehouse facility in Raritan Center Industrial
Park, Edison, New Jersey.

      Results of Operations

      Comparison of the three months ended December 31, 1996 to the three months
ended December 31, 1995.

      Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1996 were approximately
$3,695,000, an increase of $583,000 or 15.8% from approximately $3,112,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily due to the
increase in the size of orders from existing customers and the addition of new
customers.

      Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 1996 was
approximately $2,545,000, an increase of $522,000 or 20.5% from approximately
$2,023,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995. As a percentage of net
sales, cost of goods sold increased from 65% of net sales for the three months
ended December 31, 1995 to 68.9% for the three months ended December 31, 1996.
The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to
the payment to Rich City of an average mark-up of 6.5% of its manufacturing
costs pursuant to the Distribution Agreement between Rich City and the Company.
Included in the 6.5% mark-up are all of Rich City's general and administrative
costs to process orders for the Company, including salaries, office space and
use of equipment. This increase corresponded with the increase in net sales over
the same periods and resulted partly from a variation in customer orders to
products with higher costs in that specific period.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 were approximately $341,000, an increase of $59,000 from
approximately $282,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995. For the
three months ended December 31, 1996, these expenses primarily consisted of
salaries, miscellaneous office expenses, additional office equipment, and other
expenses in connection with setting up the Company's New Jersey warehouse
facilities. In contrast, these expenses for the three months ended 


                                       7
<PAGE>

December 31, 1995 reflect the "carved-out" selling expenses of Rich City
attributable to its N.A. Distribution Business, including expenses incurred for
sales and marketing personnel and for advertising and promotions.

      The Company had net income of approximately $510,000 (or $0.22 per share)
for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to net income of
approximately $492,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995.

                          LEADING EDGE PACKAGING, INC.

      Comparison of the nine months ended December 31, 1996 to the nine months
ended December 31, 1995.

      Net sales were approximately $9,247,000 for the nine months ended December
31, 1996, an increase of $925,000 or 10% from approximately $8,322,000 for the
nine month period ended December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in the size of orders from existing customers and the addition of new
customers.

      Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 was
approximately $6,281,000, an increase of $1,127,000 or 21.9% from approximately
$5,154,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 1995. As a percentage of net
sales, cost of goods sold increased from 61.9% in the nine months ended December
31, 1995 to 67.9% in the nine months ended December 31, 1996. The increase in
cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the payment to
Rich City of an average mark-up of 6.5% of its manufacturing costs pursuant to
the Distribution Agreement between Rich City and the Company. Included in the
6.5% mark-up are all of Rich City's general and administrative costs to process
orders for the Company, including salaries, office space, and use of equipment.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
December 31, 1996 were approximately $616,000, a decrease of $207,000 or 25.2%
from approximately $823,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 1995.
These expenses were relatively low during the first six months of fiscal 1997,
consisting primarily of travel and related costs incurred by Lip-Boon Saw, the
Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to expand the Company's business
in North America, as well as administrative costs of setting up the Company's
offices in the U.S. Commencing with the three months ended December 31, 1996,
these expenses also included warehouse and office expenses as well as additional
salaries, as discussed in the "Comparison of the three months ended December 31,
1996 to the three months ended December 31, 1995." For the entire nine months
ended December 31, 1995, in contrast, these expenses reflect the "carved-out"
selling expenses of Rich City attributable to its N.A. Distribution Business.

      The Company had net income of approximately $1,465,000 or $0.72 per share
for the nine months ended December 31, 1996.


      The Company anticipates higher fourth quarter operating expenses
attributable to setting up offices and warehouse distribution operations in the
U.S., although some of these expenses are non-recurring. The Company continues
to implement its market consolidation strategy, which requires additional
selling and administrative support. In addition, the Company has started to
advertise its products in trade magazines and will participate in the Basel
jewelry packaging trade show in Switzerland, which U.S. buyers and end-users
attend.

      The Company anticipates that net sales for the fourth quarter of the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 will be consistent with the trend of growth
experienced in recent periods. There can be no assurance, however, that such
sales will be achieved.

      Liquidity and Capital Resources

      During the nine months ended December 31, 1996, the Company used
approximately $1,166,000 in net cash for its operating activities, compared with
approximately $38,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1995. This amount
primarily consisted of purchases of inventory, salaries, office equipment and
establishment of warehouse facilities. The Company's working capital increased
to approximately $8,510,000 at December 31, 1996 from approximately $193,000 at
December 31, 1995, reflecting the receipt of proceeds from the initial public
offering. The Company anticipates that the proceeds from the offering, together
with cash flows from operating activities and the possibility of obtaining one
or more lines of credit will be sufficient to meet its operating expenses into
fiscal 1998, including amounts needed to purchase inventory.

      $5,500,000 of the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering are
currently invested in money market funds which allow for liquidity with an
emphasis on preservation of principal amounts invested. The Company has been in
negotiation with several banks in New York and New Jersey to establish a credit
facility for working capital and trade finance.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  None

Item 2.  Changes in Securities

      (c) 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan

      The Company previously established the 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan"). Options under the Plan may be granted permitting the purchase in
the aggregate of not more than 312,500 shares of the Company's common stock, par
value, $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"). On December 11, 1996, options (the
"1996 Options") to purchase up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock in the
aggregate were granted to officers and directors of the Company. One-third of
the 1996 Options become exercisable after each of 12 months, 30 months and 60
months, respectively. The stock options granted under this Plan are intended to
qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The per share option
price of the Common Stock subject to each of the 1996 Options shall be $7.15,
which is equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of
a share of Common Stock on the date that the options were granted. Shares of
Common Stock issued in exchange for options under the Plan will be restricted
against resale as necessary to qualify for exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), unless and until the
Company deems it appropriate to register such shares under the Securities Act.
