      NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                                 March 31, 1997
1.)  GENERAL

     The accompanying unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Item 310 (b) of Regulation SB-2. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. Reference should be made to the financial
statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
KSB, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15,
1997.

     In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying financial
statements reflect all adjustments that were of a normal recurring nature
necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's results of operations and
changes in financial position for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997
and March 31, 1996. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1997.

2.)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying financial statements reflect the application of certain
significant accounting policies, including those described below.

     a.  Principals of consolidation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     b.  Revenue recognition

     The Company recognizes revenues on its product sales upon shipment and
royalties and license fees as earned.

     c.   Inventories

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
and consist of the following (in thousands):

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

GENERAL
-------

     Advanced Deposition Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "A. D. TECH"), is
a technology leader in developing and manufacturing high-resolution, patterned,
vacuum-metallized coatings for a variety of energy management applications for
use in industrial, commercial and consumer products. Included among these are
product offerings for electronic capacitors, microwave and non-microwave food
packaging, security holograms, retroreflective films, barrier packaging,
electronic article surveillance (EAS), and electric static discharge (ESD). The
Company's revenue to date has been primarily from sales to the capacitor and
microwave packaging markets.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
-------------------

     The Company's retail microwave food packaging product, currently being
marketed under the name BROWN & CRISP(R), received very strong initial retailer
response during the first quarter of 1997. The Company also filed a patent
application and has begun evaluation trials for high energy density materials
that are manufactured using the Company's Pattern Metalization Printing ("PMP")
process. The Company believes that these materials will allow electronics
manufacturers to use smaller, lighter and more energy efficient capacitors in
their products. Sales to the capacitor market during the first quarter were
adversely affected by extreme price competition throughout the industry
resulting in lower prices and lost orders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

     Net Revenue. Net revenue increased to $3,126,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, as compared to $2,314,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996, an increase of 35%. This increase is due to higher product sales to the
microwave food packaging market, including sales of the BROWN & CRISP(R) 
product.
Capacitor sales declined in the first quarter due to price erosion and lower
unit shipments. This price erosion has abated and the Company expects that
prices will increase by the end of the year to levels comparable to 1996.
Standard food packaging sales declined slightly due to a change in product mix.
New product sales into other markets outside the capacitor, microwave and
standard food packaging markets declined by $70,000. Revenues from this category
are by their nature difficult to predict and do not yet constitute a significant
portion of the Company's total revenues. There were no licensing fees or royalty
revenues during the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to $100,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

     Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues totaled $2,404,000 (76.9% of product
sales) for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $2,112,000 (95.4%
of product sales) for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase in
cost of revenues was a result of additional sales into the microwave food
packaging market, including the BROWN & CRISP(R) bags, partially offset by the
decrease in sales to the capacitor and standard food packaging markets. The
decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of product sales was the result of
higher margins generated by sales of microwave food packaging products.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $722,000 (23.1% of product sales)
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $202,000 (9.1% of product
sales) for the three months ended March 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
31, 1996. The increase in gross profit, both in absolute magnitude and as a
percentage of revenue, was due to the additional sales volume and higher gross
margins associated sales of microwave food packaging products, partially offset
by a decrease in licensing fees and royalty revenue.

     Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to $385,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, (12.3%
of product sales) from approximately $314,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996, (14.2% of product sales). Higher payroll expenses and professional
fees were the primary reasons for the increase.

     Research and Development. Research and development costs increased to
$61,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, from approximately $21,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1996, due to additional amortization
expenses related to licenses acquired in 1996. Research and development
expenditures continue to be directed primarily at improving the Company's
technical capacity to produce higher resolution metallized patterns at higher
volumes for existing and new applications

     Operating Income (Loss). The Company generated operating income of $276,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to an operating loss of
$133,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increased operating
income was due to higher sales volumes and gross profits generated by sales of
microwave food packaging products, partially offset by higher selling, general
and administrative expenses.

     Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense decreased to approximately
$32,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, from $61,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily the result
of increased interest income as a result of additional funds being available for
investment.

     Other Expense. Other expense was $14,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 1997, compared to an insignificant amount for the three months ended
March 31, 1996. Other expense includes the amortization of costs associated with
the new financing arrangement entered into during 1996.

     Net Income (Loss). The Company generated net income of  $230,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to net loss of $194,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, as a result of the factors discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

     The Company had working capital of approximately $4,369,000 at March 31,
1997, compared to working capital of $4,032,000 at December 31, 1996. The
increase in working capital is primarily the result of income from operations
and the exercise of approximately 73,000 Class A Redeemable Common Stock
Purchase Warrants (the "IPO Warrants") in March 1997, from which the Company
realized net proceeds of approximately $183,000.

     Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31,
1997, was approximately $233,000 compared to cash provided by operating
activities during the three months ended March 31, 1996, of $13,000. Negative
cash flow from operations was the result of increases in accounts receivable and
inventory resulting from additional sales volume, partially offset by an
increase in accounts payable.

     In the three month period ending March 31, 1997, the Company expended
$104,000 in capital investments. The investments during 1997 were primarily for
increasing the capacity and efficiency of existing equipment. As of March 31,
1997, the Company had no material commitments for additional capital purchases.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
     On July 14, 1996, the Company refinanced its existing revolving term debt
and line of credit of credit with another bank. The replacement term debt and
revolving line of credit financing from the new bank allowed the Company to
repay all amounts due the Company's former bank and to Printpack Enterprises,
Inc.  The new financing agreement provided the Company with a term debt facility
of $2,600,000 to be repaid in 35 monthly installments of approximately $43,000,
plus interest at the bank's prime rate of interest (8.50% on March 31, 1997)
plus 1%, with a balloon payment of approximately $1,083,000 due in July 1989.
The revolving line of credit allows the Company to borrow up to $3,000,000 based
on percentages of its eligible accounts receivable, raw materials and finished
goods inventories. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the
bank's prime rate of interest plus 3/4%. The Company had drawn down
approximately $342,000 on the line of credit as of March 31, 1997. The Company's
replacement term debt and revolving line of credit financing agreements require
the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and tangible net worth levels,
among others.

     On March 8, 1997, the IPO Warrants expired. During March 1997,
approximately 78,000 IPO Warrants were exercised, resulting in net proceeds to
the Company of approximately $183,000.

     Management believes that the Company's cash, cash equivalents, and short-
term investments together with anticipated cash flows from operations will
provide sufficient funds to meet the Company's current cash requirements and
allow the Company to continue its marketing and product development efforts.

SEASONAL REVENUES
-----------------

     Historically, the Company has experienced lower sales to the electronic
capacitor market during the third quarter, particularly in July. Based on market
research conducted by the Company, it believes that demand for the Company's
other products, including microwave food packaging, does not experience
similarly timed seasonal variations and could, in the future, offset lower third
quarter sales in the electronic capacitor market.

INFLATION
---------

     Several times during the last two years, suppliers of the film used in the
Company's products experienced problems meeting demand that led to shortages and
price increases. In late 1995, the shortages began to ease and prices have begun
to decrease. In 1996, supplies of film increased in quantities sufficient to
meet demand and price increases abated. In 1997, there has been no material
change in supplies or prices of film.
