                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
              For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996

                                   (Unaudited)

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by HoloPak Technologies, Inc. ("HoloPak" or the "Company") pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
March 31, 1998. The Company's financial statements do not include certain
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
the notes thereto included in HoloPak's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 1997.

2.    Inventories

      The components of inventories were as follows:

3.    Note Payable & Long-Term Debt

      The Company has available through August 1998 a secured revolving line of
credit in the amount of $3,000,000 to be used for general corporate purposes.
The Company has remaining availability under this general facility of $3,000,000
at December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1997. In addition, the Company had a line of
credit for capital expenditures which converted into a five year term loan in
March 1995. This loan requires equal quarterly payments of $135,000, which began
on June 17, 1995, with a final maturity of March 17, 2000. Outstanding
borrowings on this capital expenditures loan at December 31, 1997 were
$1,215,000. Both facilities bear interest at the three month London Interbank
Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 150 basis points. The interest rates in effect at
December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1997 were 6.8% and 6.4%, respectively.

3.    Note Payable & Long-Term Debt  (cont'd.)

      On March 17, 1993, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Alubec Industries and borrowed $4,850,000 in long-term debt to partially finance
the acquisition. The long-term debt is payable in equal quarterly installments
of $303,125 through 1998 and bears interest at 5.9%. The balance outstanding on
this term loan at December 31, 1997 was $303,125.

      The conditions of the Company's bank borrowings and long-term debt call
for the Company to maintain certain financial ratios regarding debt service
coverage. At December 31, 1997, the Company was in compliance with these ratios.

            Annual maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

4.    Adoption of SFAS 131

      In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131. Disclosures about Segments
      of an Enterprise and Related Information, which will be effective for the
      Company beginning April 1, 1998. SFAS No. 131 redefines how operating
      segments are determined and requires expanded quantitative and qualitative
      disclosures relating to a companies operating segments. The Company has
      not yet made a determination as to the extent, if any, of how this
      statement will effect its reporting.

5.    Earnings Per Share

      In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
      128, "Earnings per Share". This standard revises certain methodology for
      computing earnings per common share and requires the reporting of two
      earnings per share figures: basic earnings per share and diluted earnings
      per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by
      the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per
      share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the
      weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of
      shares issuable through the exercise of stock options.

5.    Earnings Per Share (cont'd.)

      All earnings per share figures presented herein have been computed in
      accordance with the adoption of SFAS No. 128. For the Company, basic
      earnings per share equal previously reported primary earnings per share,
      and diluted earnings per share include the effect of the assumed exercises
      of dilutive stock options. 

      The components of the denominator for basic earnings per share and
      diluted earnings per share are reconciled as followed:

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

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to the Three and Nine
Months Ended December 31, 1996

Net Revenues:

For the three months ended December 31, 1997, net revenues were $9.9 million,
compared to $10.0 million in the prior year period. For the nine months ended
December 31, 1997, net revenues were $29.4 million, compared to $32.1 million in
the prior year, which is a decline of $2.7 million or 8.4%.

The decline in the third quarter was comprised of offsetting factors. Revenues
from sales of holographic products increased strongly, rising to $2.9 million
from $1.8 million, which was attributable to extremely strong demand for
security products. Revenues of paper products declined to $1.9 million from $2.0
million because of weakness in the Canadian dollar, and sales of hot stamping
foil products declined to $5.0 million from $6.1 million in the prior period due
to weak sales of metallic hot-stamping foils. The Company has experienced
significant declines in sales in this area as a result of competitive pressures.

For the nine months ended December 31, 1997, revenues of $29.4 million were $2.7
million or 8.4% less than the $32.1 million recorded in the nine months ended
December 31, 1996. Major declines were posted in the hot stamping and metallized
paper lines of business, offset only partially by gains in holography. The cause
of the decline in hot-stamping foils is concentrated in slow sales of metallic
foils, which declined from $11.4 million to $8.4 million. The decline is
attributable to slow markets in packaging and greeting cards and lost market
share to price cutting by competitors.

Metallized paper sales declined for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 from
$8.1 million in the prior period to $6.4 million. The decline was attributable
to the absence of trading card work and in recent months, the continuing
weakness of the Canadian dollar.

Revenues from holographic products, on the other hand, are on a record pace.
Year to date sales of $7.8 million are $2.5 million or 47% higher than the prior
year on consistently strong demand for security products.


                                        7

<PAGE>   10

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit:

Cost of sales for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997 were $23.0
million, compared to $26.2 million for the same prior year period. For the
quarter ended December 31, 1997, cost of sales were $7.7 million, compared
to $8.2 million for the same prior year period.

Gross profit for the 1997 nine month period was $6.4 million yielding a gross
margin of 21.7%, compared to $5.9 million and gross margin of 18.4% for the same
period last year. For the quarter ended December 31, 1997, gross profit was $2.2
million yielding a gross margin of 22.2% compared to gross profit of $1.8
million and gross margin of 17.7%.

The improvement in gross profits and gross margins, in spite of the decline in
sales, is entirely attributable to a decline in the price of polyester film, the
primary raw material in the manufacture of both hot stamping and holographic
foil. Year to date, positive purchase variances on polyester film have
aggregated $1.0 million. Offsetting this positive variance has been poorer
absorption of fixed costs on lower revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31,
1997 were $2.1 million compared to $1.8 million for the quarter ended December
31, 1996. For the nine months ended December 31, 1997, selling, general and
administrative expenses were $6.1 million compared to $5.6 million for the same
period ended December 31, 1996. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses for both periods is attributable to higher sales and
marketing expense, legal expenses, and executive salaries.

Operating Income (Loss):

Operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 was $104,000, compared
to an operating loss of $51,000 for the same period ended December 31, 1996.
Year to date operating income is $288,000, compared to $189,000 for the same
period last year. The improvement in both periods is attributable to the
improvement in gross profits stemming from lower raw material costs.

Interest Income (Expense):

Net interest income for the quarter was $12,000, compared to net interest
expense of $43,000 in the prior period. For the nine month period ended December
31, 1997, net interest expense was $12,000, compared to net interest expense of
$152,000 for the same period ended December 31, 1996. Lower outstanding debt
balances are responsible for the net decrease.


                                        8
<PAGE>   11

Income Taxes:

Income taxes for the quarter ending December 31, 1997 were a provision of
$50,000, compared to a benefit of $2,000 in the prior year. For the year to
date, income taxes are a provision of $121,000, compared to a benefit of $45,000
in the prior year. As a result of add-backs of permanent differences, primarily
amortization of goodwill and the effects of FASB 109 "Accounting for Incomes
Taxes", the company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31,
1997 was 43.8%.

Loss from Discontinued Operations:

The loss from discontinued operations recorded in fiscal 1997 reflects the cost
of settling the lawsuit brought against the Company by Bollore Technologies
concerning a supply contract to the Company's discontinued European operations.
This operation has been completely closed.



                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $12.4 million,
compared to working capital of $11.6 million at March 31, 1997. The increase is
primarily attributable to a decrease in current maturities of long-term debt of
$909,000, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $368,000.

The Company has a general purpose line of credit of $3.0 million, against which
there were no outstanding borrowings at December 31, 1997.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 were $708,000,
which included a major expenditure of $250,000 for the down payment on specialty
security product machinery.
