3.   PLANT CLOSING COSTS, OFFICE CLOSING COSTS AND WORKFORCE REDUCTION

     PLANT CLOSING COSTS -- During 2000, we approved and announced a strategic
     initiative to cease operations at our Dallas, Texas; Birmingham, Alabama;
     and Harrington, Delaware facilities. These facilities represent a portion
     of our Design, Industrial and Specialty Films segments, respectively. The
     intent of this initiative was to maximize the capacity of other Company
     owned facilities by moving the production from these locations to plants
     that were not operating at capacity. As a result of this strategic
     initiative, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $19.6 million for plant closing
     costs during the year ended December 31, 2000. Of the $19.6 million, $13.8
     million represented a reserve



                                       7
<PAGE>

     for impaired plant and equipment, $5.0 million represented a charge for
     severance costs and $0.8 million represented a charge for other closure
     costs and inventory write-offs. The major actions relating to the exit of
     these facilities included closing each of the respective facilities,
     disposal of the related equipment of each facility and termination of the
     employees of the respective facilities. As of December 31, 2000, we had
     completed our closure of our Dallas facility. In addition, we completed the
     closure of our Birmingham facility during the second quarter of 2001.

     During the third quarter of 2001, we analyzed the economics of closing our
     Harrington facility in light of changes in customer demand and our recent
     acquisition of Uniplast. These changes, together with the movement of a
     production line from our Birmingham plant, have significantly improved the
     profitability of the Harrington plant. As a result, we revised our plans to
     close that facility. During the first six months of 2001, $1.1 million was
     incurred to downsize the Harrington facility. The remaining balance of the
     plant closure costs of $7.6 million accrued in 2000 was credited to plant
     closing costs during the third quarter of 2001.

     The following is a summary of the key elements of the 2000 exit plan,
     excluding Harrington as management revised their closure plans for that
     facility in 2001 (dollars in thousands):

     facilities due to the fact that their respective sales volumes were
     transferred to other facilities except for the majority of the custom bag
     business that we exited when we closed the Dallas plant which was not
     material. As of June 30, 2002 the remaining reserves related to other costs
     are included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated
     balance sheets, while the reserve for impairment of property and equipment
     has been recorded as a direct reduction of the net property and equipment
     balances. Utilization of these reserves during the six months ended June

     As of June 30, 2002, all of the expected employee terminations had been
     completed at our Dallas and Birmingham facilities, respectively. As of June
     30, 2002, all planned employee terminations had been completed at the
     Harrington facility. There were no reserves remaining for the Harrington
     facility closure as of December 31, 2001.

     As a part of the July 2001 acquisition of Uniplast Holdings, Inc., the
     Company approved a plan to close three Uniplast production facilities and
     reduce the sales and administrative personnel. As of December 31, 2001 the
     closure of the production plants and reduction of sales and administrative
     personnel were complete. Severance costs associated with this plan of $3.0
     million were accrued as



                                       8
<PAGE>

     a part of the cost of the acquisition. The cost of relocating production
     lines to existing Company locations is expensed to plant closing costs as
     incurred. The Company incurred approximately $3.0 million for these
     relocation costs during the fourth quarter of 2001. During the three and
     six months ended June 30, 2002 the Company incurred relocation costs of
     approximately $0.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

     OFFICE CLOSING COSTS AND WORKFORCE REDUCTION -- During the fourth quarter
     of 2000, we approved and announced a cost saving initiative resulting in a
     Company-wide workforce reduction, relocation of the corporate office from
     Salt Lake City, Utah to the Chicago, Illinois area and closure of the
     Dallas, Texas divisional office. As a result of this initiative we recorded
     a pre-tax charge of $7.1 million, which was included as part of Selling,
     General and Administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of
     operations for the year ended December 31, 2000. The major actions relating
     to this initiative included a reduction in workforce due to consolidation
     of duties, and closing the offices in Dallas, Texas and Salt Lake City,
     Utah. We completed the workforce reduction of 52 employees and the closure
     of the office in Dallas, Texas during the first quarter of 2001, as well as
     the Salt Lake City office closure during the second quarter of 2001. The
     following is a summary of the key elements of this plan (dollars in

     liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, while the
     reserve for impairment related to leasehold improvements has been recorded
     as a reduction of the net property and equipment balance. In the fourth
     quarter of 2001, an additional $0.9 million was accrued to revise the
     estimate of future non-cancelable lease costs in excess of income from
     subleasing. Utilization of these reserves during the six months ended June

4.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME/(LOSS)

     Other comprehensive losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002
     were $8.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Other comprehensive
     losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 were $1.7 million
     and $8.6 million, respectively. The components of other comprehensive
     income/(loss) are net income, the change in cumulative unrealized losses on
     derivatives recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 133 and foreign currency translation.


5.   STOCK OPTION PLANS

     During the six months ended June 30, 2002 options to purchase 11,615 shares
     were granted. During the six months ended June 30, 2002 options to purchase
     2,680 shares were cancelled due to employee terminations.


6.   LONG-TERM DEBT

     Effective April 2, 2002, we entered into an amendment of our credit
     facilities to, among other things, permit the offering of $100 million
     aggregate principal amount of our 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010
     (the "2002 Notes"). The amendment also adjusted certain financial
     covenants, including the leverage and interest coverage ratios and the
     permitted amount of capital expenditures. The amendment also allows us to
     borrow additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $85
     million under an uncommitted incremental Tranche B facility, the proceeds
     of which may be used to finance certain permitted acquisitions, if any,
     completed prior to March 31, 2003. We incurred an amendment fee of $1.3
     million in connection with the amendment. We also incurred approximately
     $0.5 million of legal and administrative expenses in connection with
     negotiating the amendment.

     On April 10, 2002 we completed the private offering of the 2002 Notes at an
     issue premium of $3.75 million. The total cost of issuance was
     approximately $5.0 million. We used approximately $93.3 million of the net
     proceeds from the issuance of the 2002 Notes to repay indebtedness under
     our credit facilities, including a repayment of approximately $63.3 million
     on our revolving credit facility and a $30 million repayment on our term
     loans. Our credit facilities limit the use of the remaining net proceeds to
     repayments on our credit facilities or certain permitted acquisitions. The
     facility also required that we repay, on December 31, 2002, additional term
     loans in the amount by which $18 million exceeds the amount we invest in
     certain acquisitions. Due to the completion of the Decora acquisition on
     May 20, 2002, there is no requirement to repay additional term debt on
     December 31, 2002 (See Note 8). In May 2002, we completed an exchange
     offer, pursuant to which we exchanged all of the 2002 Notes for notes
     registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

7.   INCOME TAXES

     For the six months ended June 30, 2002 the income tax expense was $1.9
     million or 108% of income before income taxes as compared to an income tax
     benefit of $1.9 million or 17% of loss before income taxes for the six
     months ended June 30, 2001. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, the
     income tax benefit was $0.1 million or 3% of loss before income taxes as
     compared to an income tax expense of $0.5 million on loss before income
     taxes of $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The reason
     for the significant variance in the effective income tax rate is
     principally due to the change in the mix between US and foreign taxable
     income. The effective rate for foreign income taxes is substantially higher
     than the effective rate for income taxes in the US.

8.   ACQUISITIONS

     In May 2002, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed
     certain liabilities of Decora Industries, Inc. and its operating
     subsidiary, Decora Incorporated (collectively, "Decora"), a New York based
     manufacturer and reseller of printed, plastic films, including plastic
     films and other consumer products sold under the Con-Tact(R) brand name.
     Our purchase of Decora's assets was approved by the United States
     Bankruptcy Court. The purchase price was approximately $18 million. The
     purchase price was negotiated with the creditors committee and was paid in
     cash using borrowings from our existing revolving credit facility. The
     assets purchased consist of one plant and related equipment used by Decora
     primarily to print, laminate and convert films into adhesive shelf liner.
     Over the next several months we intend to close the plant and commence
     manufacturing these products at plants in Mexico and Danville, Kentucky.
     This purchase expands our product base to a new market. In addition we
     expect to realize substantial synergies in raw material costs, freight
     costs and administrative expenses. In addition to the purchase price of $18
     million we have accrued $2.7 million of liabilities related to acquisition
     costs and severance payments. Results of operations from the date of
     acquisition is included in the consolidated statements of operations for
     the periods ended June 30, 2002.

     The aggregate purchase price of $20.7 million, including accrued
     liabilities related to acquisition costs and severance payments, has been
     allocated on a preliminary basis to assets and liabilities. This allocation
     is preliminary pending final fixed asset and intangible asset valuations.
     The preliminary allocation is as follows (dollars in millions):

             Current Assets                    $  15.8

             Property Plant and Equipment          5.0

             Goodwill and Intangible assets        6.2

             Current Liabilities                  (6.3)

     The pro forma results of operations for the three and six months ended June
     30, 2002 and 2001 (assuming that the Decora acquisition had occurred on
     January 1, 2002) are as follows (dollars in thousands):

     These pro forma results reflect certain non-recurring items. The net income
     reflects the write down of goodwill and long-lived assets and
     reorganization costs related to the bankruptcy that are considered
     non-recurring. The write-down of goodwill and long-lived assets was $6.6
     million (pre-tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. Net
     income/loss for the six months ended June 30, 2001 reflects $12.8 million
     (pre-tax basis) for the loss of a discontinued operation and $57.7 million
     (pre-tax basis) for the write-down of goodwill. The reorganization items
     were $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June
     30, 2002, respectively. The reorganization items were $0.5 million and $1.7
     million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. The
     effective income tax rate for pre-acquisition results of operations of
     Decora was 0% due to the net operating losses and valuation allowances.

9.   OPERATING SEGMENTS

     Operating segments are components of our business for which separate
     financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our chief
     operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in
     assessing performance. This information is reported on the basis that it is
     used internally for evaluating segment performance.

     We have three reportable operating segments: design products, industrial
     films and specialty films. The design products segment produces printed
     rollstock, bags and sheets used to package products in the food and other
     industries. The recently purchased Decora business is included in the
     design products segment. The industrial films segment produces stretch
     films, used for industrial unitizing and containerization, and PVC films,
     used to wrap meat, cheese and produce. The specialty films segment produces
     converter films that are sold to other flexible packaging manufacturers for
     additional fabrication, barrier films that contain and protect food and
     other products, and other films used in the personal care, medical,
     agriculture and horticulture industries. Disclosures for each product line
     within operating segments are not required because amounts of segment
     profits and segment total assets are impracticable to obtain.



                                       12
<PAGE>

     Sales and transfers between our segments are eliminated in consolidation.
     We evaluate performance of the operating segments based on profit or loss
     before income taxes, not including plant closing costs and other
     nonrecurring gains or losses. Our reportable segments are managed
     separately with separate management teams, because each segment has
     differing products, customer requirements, technology and marketing
     strategies. Segment profit or loss and segment assets as of and for the
     three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are presented in the following

10.  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In July, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
     Combinations" and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No.
     141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
     business combinations completed after June 30, 2001, clarifies the
     recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill and requires that
     unallocated negative goodwill be written off immediately as an
     extraordinary gain. SFAS No. 142, which was effective for fiscal years
     beginning after December 15, 2001, requires that ratable amortization of
     goodwill be replaced with periodic tests of goodwill impairment and that
     intangible assets, other than goodwill, which have determinable useful
     lives, be amortized over their useful lives. As required by SFAS 142, the
     Company stopped amortizing goodwill effective January 1, 2002. The Company
     has evaluated, with the assistance of an independent consultant, any
     possible impairment of goodwill under SFAS 142 guidelines. Based on this
     evaluation the Company has determined that there is no impairment of the
     Company's goodwill.

     We have three reporting segments, Specialty Films, Design Products, and
     Industrial Films, all of which have goodwill. The changes in the carrying
     value of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was as follows (in
     thousands):

     The changes to Goodwill in the six months ended June 30, 2002 relate to the
     Decora acquisition and adjustments related to the Uniplast acquisition.

     Following is a reconciliation of net income between the amounts reported in
     the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and the adjusted amounts
     reflecting these new accounting rules (in thousands):

     According to SFAS 142, other intangible assets will continue to be
     amortized over their useful lives. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002
     we assigned values to the intangibles in our three operating segments.

11.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following condensed consolidating financial statements present, in separate
columns, financial information for (i) Pliant (on a parent only basis), with its
investment in its subsidiaries recorded under the equity method, (ii) guarantor
subsidiaries (as specified in the Indenture, dated May 31, 2000 (the "2000
Indenture"), relating to Pliant's $220 million senior subordinated notes due
2010 (the "2000 Notes") and the Indenture, dated April 10, 2002 (the "2002
Indenture" and, together with the 2000 Indenture, the "Indentures"), relating to
Pliant's $100 million senior subordinated notes due 2010 (the "2002 Notes" and,
together with the 2000 Notes, the "Notes")) on a combined basis, with any
investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries specified in the Indentures recorded
under the equity method, (iii) direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries on
a combined basis, (iv) the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information
for Pliant and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, and (v) Pliant on a
consolidated basis, in each case as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The Notes are
fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each
guarantor subsidiary and each guarantor subsidiary is wholly owned, directly or
indirectly, by Pliant. There are no contractual restrictions limiting transfers
of cash from guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries to Pliant except from our
Alliant joint venture. The condensed consolidating financial statements are
presented herein, rather than separate financial statements for each of the
guarantor subsidiaries because management believes that separate financial
statements relating to the guarantor subsidiaries are not material to investors.

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

The purpose of this section is to discuss and analyze our consolidated financial
condition, liquidity and capital resources and results of operations. This
analysis should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 (the "2001 10-K") and our
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (file No. 333-86532), as amended. This
section contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
federal securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties, including
statements regarding our plans, objectives, goals, strategies and financial
performance. Our actual results could differ materially from the results
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of factors set forth
under "Cautionary Statement for Forward-Looking Information" below and elsewhere
in this report.

GENERAL

We generate our revenues, earnings and cash flows from the sale of film and
flexible packaging products throughout the world. We manufacture these products
at 27 facilities located in North America, South and Central America, Europe and
Australia. Our sales have grown primarily as a result of strategic acquisitions
made over the past several years, increased levels of production at acquired
facilities, return on capital expenditures and the overall growth in the markets
for film and flexible packaging products.

In May 2002, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Decora Industries, Inc. and its operating subsidiary, Decora
Incorporated (collectively, "Decora"), a New York based manufacturer and
reseller of printed, plastic films, including plastic films and other consumer
products sold under the Con-Tact(R) brand name. Our purchase of Decora's assets
was approved by the the United States Bankruptcy Court. The purchase price was
approximately $18 million. The purchase price was negotiated with the creditors
committee and was paid in cash using borrowings from our existing revolving
credit facility. The assets purchased consist of one plant and related equipment
used by Decora primarily to print, laminate and convert films into adhesive
shelf liner. Over the next several months we intend to close the plant and
commence manufacturing these products at plants in Mexico and Danville,
Kentucky. The Decora acquisition expands our product base to the market for
adhesive shelf liners. In addition, we expect to realize substantial synergies
that will reduce raw material costs, freight costs and administrative expenses
associated with Decora's operations. In addition to the purchase price of $18
million, we have accrued $2.7 million of liabilities related to acquisition
costs and severance payments.

In July 2001, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Uniplast Holdings
Inc., a manufacturer of multi-layer packaging films, industrial films and
cast-embossed films, with operations in the United States and Canada, for
approximately $56.0 million in cash and equity. In connection with the
acquisition of Uniplast, we announced a plan to close three of Uniplast's six
plants, move certain purchased assets to other locations and to terminate most
of the sales, administration and technical employees of Uniplast. All three of
these plants were closed in 2001. All three plants were sold in the first six
months of 2002.

The Company expects to continue to make acquisitions as opportunities arise.

On June 10, 2002, we entered into a separation agreement with Richard P. Durham,
our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As of the date of the
separation agreement, Mr. Durham owned 28,289 shares of common stock, 12,083
performance vested shares, 2,417 time vested shares, warrants to purchase
1,250.48 shares of common stock and 1,232 shares of preferred stock of Pliant.
All of Mr.

                                       27
<PAGE>

Durham's time vested shares and 2,416 of Mr. Durham's performance
vested shares had vested as of the date of the separation agreement. Pursuant to
the separation agreement, Mr. Durham agreed to convert an outstanding promissory
note issued as payment for a portion of his shares into two promissory notes.
The first note (the "Vested Secured Note"), in the principal amount of
$2,430,798, relates to Mr. Durham's time vested shares and the vested portion of
his performance vested shares. The second note (the "Non-Vested Secured Note"),
in the principal amount of $4,862,099, relates to the 9,667 performance vested
shares which had not vested as of the date of the separation agreement. In
addition to these notes, Mr. Durham has an additional outstanding promissory
note (the "Additional Note"), with a principal amount of $1,637,974, relating to
a portion of the shares of common stock held by Mr. Durham.

The separation agreement preserved a put option established by Mr. Durham's
employment agreement with respect to his shares. For purposes of this put
option, the separation agreement provides that the price per share to be paid by
Pliant is $483.13 with respect to common stock, $483.13 less any exercise price
with respect to warrants, and the liquidation preference with respect to
preferred stock. On July 9, 2002, Mr. Durham exercised his put option with
respect to 28,289 shares of common stock, 1,232 shares of preferred stock and
warrants to purchase 1,250.48 shares of common stock. Restrictive covenants
under our credit facilities limit the number of shares we can currently
repurchase from Mr. Durham. Accordingly, we have agreed to purchase 8,204 shares
from Mr. Durham for a purchase price of $3,963,599 less the outstanding amount
of the Additional Note, which will be cancelled. In addition, in accordance with
the separation agreement, we intend to repurchase and cancel Mr. Durham's 9,667
unvested shares in exchange for cancellation of the Non-Vested Secured Note. We
expect that these repurchases will be completed in the third quarter of 2002.

In connection with Mr. Durham's resignation as Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Jack E. Knott was appointed our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Durham
continues to serve as a member of our Board of Directors as a designee of The
Christena Karen H. Durham Trust, which holds 158,917 shares, or approximately
26.6% of our outstanding common stock.

During the second quarter of 2001, we completed the implementation of a
company-wide supply chain cost initiative. This initiative, which we began in
the fourth quarter of 1999, focused on improving the efficiency of our
operations through improvements to our procurement, logistics, planning and
production processes.

During 2001, we completed the transition of our corporate headquarters from Salt
Lake City, Utah to Schaumburg, Illinois, and we made certain changes in our
management. During the first quarter of 2001, we incurred non-cash stock-based
compensation expense of approximately $7.0 million as a result of certain
modifications to our senior management employment arrangements with two
executive officers.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth net sales, operating expenses, and operating
income, and such amounts as a percentage of net sales, for the three and six

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

NET SALES

Net sales increased by $14.3 million, or 7.0%, to $217.9 million for the three
months ended June 30 2002, from $203.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 2001. The increase was primarily due to a 15.1% increase in sales volume,
partially offset by a 7.6% decrease in our average selling price. Excluding the
effect of the Uniplast and Decora acquisitions, sales volumes increased 4.5 %
during the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in
2001. (See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a
discussion of the Decora acquisition). In the markets we serve, the average
selling price of our products generally increases or decreases as the price of
resins, our primary raw material, increases or decreases. Average resin prices
in the second quarter of 2002 were lower than the average resin prices in the
same period in 2001, resulting in a decrease in our average selling prices.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit increased by $2.3 million, or 5.8%, to $41.9 million for the second
quarter of 2002, from $39.6 million for the second quarter of 2001. The Decora
acquisition added $1.7 million of gross profit for the quarter ended June 30,
2002. In addition, gross profit was favorably affected by the increase in sales
volumes discussed above.

TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES

Total operating expenses decreased by $3.1 million, or 10.6%, to $26.1 million
for the second quarter of 2002 from $29.2 million for the same period in 2001.
Higher operating expenses for the second quarter of 2001 were primarily due to
nonrecurring expenses, including $3.0 million of fees paid to consultants in
connection with the Company-wide supply chain improvement initiative and $1.7
million of restructuring expenses related to office closures. The $4.7 million
decrease in operating expenses attributable to these nonrecurring expenses was
partially offset by $0.9 million of plant closing costs incurred during the
second quarter of 2002 related primarily to the relocation of production lines
from the plants acquired and closed as part of the Uniplast acquisition.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income increased by $5.4 million, or 51.9%, to $15.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 from $10.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2001, due to the factors discussed above.



                                       29
<PAGE>

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense remained relatively stable at $19.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001. The increase
in interest expense resulting from the issuance of an additional $100 million of
subordinated debt in April 2002 was offset by lower interest expense on
outstanding term loans due to repayments, and lower interest rates applicable to
our credit facilities due to a decrease in LIBOR.


OTHER INCOME

Other income decreased to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002,
from $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease
reflects an unusually high amount of other income for the 2001 period, which was
primarily due to proceeds and assets received from a settlement with a potential
customer in the second quarter of 2001.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)

We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2002
as compared to income tax expense of $0.5 million for the same period in 2001.
(See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion
of the change in the effective income tax rate).


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

NET SALES

Net sales increased by $21.8 million, or 5.3%, to $428.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 from $406.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2001. The increase was primarily due to a 14.1% increase in sales volume,
partially offset by a 7.6% decrease in average selling prices. The sales volume
increased principally due to the Uniplast acquisition and an increase in sales
volume from the industrial films segment. Uniplast was acquired in July 2001. In
the markets we serve, the average selling price of our products generally
increases or decreases as the price of resins, our primary raw material,
increases or decreases. Average resin prices were lower during the first six
months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, resulting in a decrease in
our average selling prices.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit increased by $5.9 million, or 7.2%, to $87.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, from $81.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2001. The increase was primarily due to the effect of higher sales volumes,
partially offset by lower gross margins due to a change in sales mix. In
addition the acquisition of Decora added $1.7 million of gross profits for the
six months ended June 30, 2002.

However, within the six months ended June 30, 2002, gross profits for the second
quarter decreased $3.7 million or 8% as compared to the first quarter, primarily
due to the effect of recent raw material price increases partially offset by the
effect of the Decora acquisition and increases in sales volumes. The effect of
the raw material price increase on gross profits was approximately $5.3 million.
We announced and implemented price increases to cover substantially all the raw
material price increases. However, due to the competitive nature of our
industry, particularly during a period when success of announced raw material
price increases was uncertain, we saw a significant portion of this
implementation shift to the third quarter.




                                       30

TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES

Total operating expenses decreased by $6.3 million, or 10.7%, to $52.4 million
for the first six months of 2002 from $58.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2001. Higher operating expenses for first six months of 2001 were
primarily due to nonrecurring expenses, including $7 million of stock based
compensation related to administrative employees, $3 million of fees paid to
consultants in connection with a company-wide supply chain improvement
initiative and $1.7 million of restructuring expenses related to office
closures. The $11.7 million decrease in operating expenses attributable to these
nonrecurring expenses was partially offset by $4.3 million of plant closing
costs incurred during the first six months of 2002 related primarily to the
relocation of production lines from the plants acquired and closed as part of
the Uniplast acquisition.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income increased by $13.8 million, or 60%, to $36.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 from $22.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 2001, due to the factors discussed above.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense decreased by $3.5 million, or 8.8%, to $35.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2002, from $39.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 2001. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in LIBOR which decreases
the variable interest rate applicable to our credit facilities and lower
interest expense on outstanding term loans resulting from repayments. These
reductions in interest were partially offset by an increase in interest expense
due to the issuance of an additional $100 million of subordinated debt in April
2002.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income decreased $4.8 million to $1.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 from $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
decrease reflects an unusually high amount of other income for the 2001 period,
which was primarily due to the proceeds and assets received from a settlement
with a potential new customer in the second quarter of 2001.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)

Income tax expense was $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as
compared to an income tax benefit of $1.9 million for the same period in 2001.
See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion
on the change in the effective income tax rate.


OPERATING SEGMENT REVIEW

     GENERAL. Operating segments are components of our Company for which
separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our
chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance. For more information on our operating segments see Note 9
to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2001



SPECIALTY FILMS
---------------

     NET SALES. The net sales of our specialty films segment increased $7.4
million, or 8.4%, to $95.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from
$87.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was
primarily due to a 13.6% increase in sales volume, partially offset by a 4.6%
decrease in our average selling prices. The increased sales volume was primarily
the result of the Uniplast acquisition. Selling prices decreased principally due
to the effects of lower resin prices in the second quarter of 2002 as compared
to the same period in 2001 and the acquisition of Uniplast.

     SEGMENT PROFIT. The specialty films segment profit remained relatively
stable at $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to
$20.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The favorable effect of
higher sales volumes was offset by the effect of lower margins due to the change
in mix.

     SEGMENT TOTAL ASSETS. The specialty films segment total assets increased
$52.3 million, or 12.9%, to $456.7 million as of June 30, 2002 from $404.4
million as of June 30, 2001. The increase was principally due to the acquisition
of Uniplast, capital expenditures for capacity expansions and changes to the
reserve for plant closing cost, partially offset by depreciation expenses. In
addition, the Company allocated goodwill and intangible assets to the operating
segments under SFAS 142.

DESIGN PRODUCTS
---------------

     NET SALES. The net sales of our design products segment increased $1.6
million, or 2.9%, to $57.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from
$55.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Sales volumes increased
1.9 % and average selling prices decreased 1% . Sales volumes and prices were
favorably affected by the acquisition of the Decora business in May 2002.
Excluding the effects of Decora, the sales volumes decreased 4.1% and selling
prices decreased 5.4%. Selling prices decreased principally due to the effects
of lower resin prices in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the same
period in 2001.

     SEGMENT PROFIT. The design products segment profit decreased $5.6 million,
to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $11.7 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was primarily due to
unusually high segment profits in the second quarter of 2001 due to a
substantial settlement from a potential customer, partially offset by the
favorable effect of the Decora acquisition.

     SEGMENT TOTAL ASSETS. The design products segment total assets increased
$27.5 million, or 14.8%, to $213.1 million as of June 30, 2002 from $185.6
million as of June 30, 2001. This increase was principally due to the addition
of assets from the Decora acquisition. In addition, the Company allocated
goodwill and intangible assets to the operating segments under SFAS 142.

INDUSTRIAL FILMS
----------------

     NET SALES. The net sales in our industrial films segment increased $5.3
million, or 8.8%, to $65.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from
$60.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was
principally due to a 22.7% increase in sales volumes, primarily as a result of
the Uniplast acquisition, and increases in sales volume in the stretch film
segment. The favorable effect of the volume increase was partially offset by
lower selling prices. Selling prices decreased 12.8% principally due lower resin
prices and a change in sales mix.



                                       32
<PAGE>

     SEGMENT PROFIT. The industrial films segment profit increased $3.1 million,
or 33%, to $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $9.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was principally
due to the effect of higher sales volumes discussed above, partially offset by
the effect of lower margins due to the change in sales mix.

     SEGMENT TOTAL ASSETS. The industrial films segment total assets increased
$30.8 million, or 25.1%, to $153.4 million as of June 30, 2002 from $122.6
million as of June 30, 2002. This increase was principally due to the addition
of assets from the Uniplast acquisition and to capital expenditures for
maintenance of business which were partially offset by depreciation expenses. In
addition, the Company allocated goodwill and intangible assets to the operating
segments under SFAS 142.

UNALLOCATED CORPORATE EXPENSES
------------------------------

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $5.2 million, or 19.6%, to $21.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $26.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2001, principally due to a $3.0 million reduction in
fees paid to consultants relating to a company-wide supply chain improvement
initiative. In addition, the unallocated corporate expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 included $1.7 million of plant and office closing costs.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

SPECIALTY FILMS
---------------

     NET SALES. The net sales of our specialty films segment increased $20.6
million, or 11.7%, to $196.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from
$175.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was
primarily due to a 16.1% increase in sales volume partially offset by a 3.8%
decrease in our average selling prices. The increased sales volume was primarily
as a result of the Uniplast acquisition. Selling prices decreased principally
due to the effects of lower resin prices in the second quarter of 2002 as
compared to the same period in 2001.

     SEGMENT PROFIT. The specialty films segment profit increased $3.4 million,
8.8%, to $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $38.8 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was primarily due to the
increase in sales discussed above including the effect of the Uniplast
acquisition. Margins for the six months ended June 30, 2002 remained relatively
stable as compared to the same period in 2001.


DESIGN PRODUCTS
---------------

     NET SALES. The net sales of our design products segment decreased $2.9
million, or 2.7%, to $106.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from
$108.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was
primarily due to a 6.8% decrease in our average selling prices (excluding the
effect of the Decora business), partially offset by the incremental sales
volumes. The increase in sales volumes was primarily due to the Decora
acquisition. Selling prices decreased principally due to the effects of lower
resin prices in the first half of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.

     SEGMENT PROFIT. The design products segment profit decreased $8.1 million,
or 38.8%, to $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $20.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was primarily due
to unusually high segment profits in the six months ended June 30, 2001 due



                                       33
<PAGE>

to a settlement from a potential customer, partially offset by the favorable
effect of the Decora acquisition.

INDUSTRIAL FILMS
----------------

     NET SALES.The net sales in our industrial films segment increased $4.1
million, or 3.4%, to $125.8 million for the six months ended June, 2002 from
$121.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was due to
a 18.8% increase in sales volumes primarily as a result of the Uniplast
acquisition and growth in the stretch business due to increased market share,
partially offset by a 13.0% decrease in selling prices. Selling prices decreased
principally due to the effects of a decrease in resin prices and a change in
sales mix.

     SEGMENT PROFIT. The industrial films segment profit increased $4.6 million,
or 22.4%, to $25.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $20.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was principally
due to the effect of higher sales volume discussed above partially offset by a
decrease in margins resulting principally from a change in sales mix.

UNALLOCATED CORPORATE EXPENSES
------------------------------

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $5.3 million, or 11.5%, to $40.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $46.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001, principally due to a $3.0 million reduction in fees
paid to consultants relating to a company-wide supply chain improvement
initiative. In addition, the unallocated corporate expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 included $2.9 million of plant and office closing costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $7.1 million, or 52.6%, from the same period
in 2001. This increase was principally due to improved operating results and
changes in working capital items as compared to the six months ended June 30,
2001.


NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Net cash used in investing activities was $42.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2002, as compared to $21.2 million for the same period in 2001. The
increase in net cash used in investing activities was principally due to the
acquisition of Decora for $20.6 million net of cash, partially offset by a
decrease in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $21.9 million and
$29.1 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Capital expenditures in both periods were primarily for major
expansion projects in all of our product lines. We expect capital expenditures
to be approximately $4 million higher for the remaining half of 2002 principally
due to the capital expenditures for the relocation of the Decora production. In
2001, we received $7.9 million as part of a sale-leaseback transaction of
newly-acquired machinery and equipment.


NET CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Net cash provided by financing activities was $28.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2002, compared to $8.0 million for the same period in 2001. The
activity for 2002 included the effects of the


                                       34
<PAGE>

issuance of the $100 million aggregate principal amount of 13% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the "2002 Notes") and repayment of term loans
discussed under "Liquidity" below.


LIQUIDITY

As of June 30, 2002, we had $12.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and
approximately $85.3 million of working capital and approximately $92.5 million
available under our $100.0 million revolving credit facility. We had $7.5
million of letters of credit issued, which reduces the amount available for
borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2002, the debt
under our credit facilities bore interest at a weighted average rate of 6.4%
including the effect of interest rate derivative agreements.

Effective April 2, 2002, we entered into an amendment of our credit facilities
to, among other things, permit the offering of the 2002 Notes. The amendment
also adjusted certain financial covenants, including the leverage and interest
coverage ratios and the permitted amount of capital expenditures. The amendment
also allows us to borrow additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount
of up to $85 million under an uncommitted incremental Tranche B facility, the
proceeds of which may be used to finance certain permitted acquisitions, if any,
completed prior to March 31, 2003. We incurred an amendment fee of $1.3 million
in connection with the amendment. We also incurred approximately $0.5 million of
legal and administrative expenses in connection with negotiating the amendment.

On April 10, 2002 we completed the private offering of the 2002 Notes. We used
approximately $93.3 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes
to repay indebtedness under our credit facilities, including a repayment of
approximately $63.3 million on our revolving credit facility and a $30 million
repayment on our term loans. Our credit facilities limit the use of the
remaining net proceeds to repayments on our credit facilities or certain
permitted acquisitions. We were required to repay, on December 31, 2002,
additional term loans in the amount by which $18 million exceeds the amount we
invest in certain acquisitions. Due to the completion of the Decora acquisition
on May 20, 2002, there is no requirement to repay additional term debt on
December 31, 2002. In May 2002 we completed an exchange offer, pursuant to which
we exchanged the 2002 Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act of
1933.

The following table sets forth the scheduled principal payments on the credit
facilities, the $220 million principal amount Senior Subordinated Notes issued
in May 2000 (the "2000 Notes") and the 2002 Notes :

YEAR          PRINCIPAL PAYMENT
-------------------------------
2002          $     80,620
2003            19,776,331
2004            51,678,479
2005            60,921,875
2006            34,380,964
Thereafter     574,889,595


The foregoing table does not give effect to up to $85 million in additional term
loans that we may borrow under the uncommitted incremental tranche B facility
permitted under the amendment to the credit facilities.

In addition, we are required to make annual mandatory prepayments of the term
loans under the credit facilities within 90 days following the end of each year
in an amount equal to the amount by which 100% of excess cash flow for such year
(or 50% of excess cash flow if our leverage ratio at the end of such year is
less than or equal to 4 to 1) exceeds the aggregate amount of voluntary
prepayments made since the last


                                       35
<PAGE>

excess cash flow payment, subject to the amount of voluntary prepayments made
since the last excess cash flow payment, subject to certain adjustments. In
addition, the term loan facilities are subject to mandatory prepayments in an
amount equal to (a) 100% of the net cash proceeds of equity and debt issuances
by us or any of our subsidiaries, and (b) 100% of the net cash proceeds of asset
sales or other dispositions of property by us or any of our subsidiaries, in
each case subject to certain exceptions.

The interest expense and scheduled principal payments on our borrowings affect
our future liquidity requirements. We expect that cash flows from operating
activities and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $100
million under the credit agreement will provide sufficient working capital to
operate our business, to make expected capital expenditures and to meet
foreseeable liquidity requirements. In addition, given our current sales
forecast and expected price increases, we believe that we will comply with the
covenants contained in our credit facilities. However, if (a) we are not able to
increase prices to cover historical and future raw materials price increases,
(b) volume growth does not continue as expected, or (c) we experience any
significant negative effects to the business, we may not have sufficient working
capital to operate our business, to make expected capital expenditures or to
meet foreseeable liquidity requirements. In addition, if any of these events
occurs, and we are unable to obtain waivers or amendments to our credit facility
covenants or we are unable to raise additional equity, we may not be able to
comply with certain of our debt covenants, including the applicable debt to
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and
certain other adjustments as provided in our credit agreement) leverage
ratio.

forward-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent
forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are
also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, management's
examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current
expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections

only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or
revise forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or
circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or
contemplated by this report. These risks include, but are not limited to:
general economic and business conditions, particularly an economic downturn;
industry trends; increases in our leverage; interest rate increases; changes in
our ownership structure; raw material costs and availability, particularly
resin; competition; the loss of any of our significant customers; changes in the
demand for our products; new technologies; changes in distribution channels or
competitive conditions in the markets or countries in which we operate; costs of
integrating any recent or future acquisitions; loss of our intellectual property
rights; foreign currency fluctuations and devaluations and political instability
in our foreign markets; changes in our business strategy or development plans;



                                       36
<PAGE>

availability, terms and deployment of capital; availability of qualified
personnel; and increases in the cost of compliance with laws and regulations,
including environmental laws and regulations. Each of these risks and certain
other uncertainties are discussed in more detail in the 2001 10-K and in our
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (file no. 333-86532), as amended, filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. There may be other factors, including
those discussed elsewhere in this report, that may cause our actual results to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking
statements should be considered in light of these factors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various interest rate and resin price risks that arise in the
normal course of business. We finance our operations with borrowings comprised
primarily of variable rate indebtedness. We enter into interest rate collar and
swap agreements to manage interest rate market risks and commodity collar
agreements to manage resin market risks. Our raw material costs are comprised
primarily of resins. Significant increases in interest rates or the price of
resins could adversely affect our operating margins, results of operations and
ability to service our indebtedness. An increase of 1% in interest rates payable
on our variable rate indebtedness would increase our annual interest expense by
approximately $3.0 million, after accounting for the effect of our interest rate
hedge agreements.

As a result of the mandatory redemption features, as of June 30, 2002, the
carrying value of our outstanding preferred stock has been increased by $2.0
million to reflect the accumulated accretion towards the $131.0 million
redemption value at May 31, 2011, excluding accumulated dividends. As of June
30, 2002, we have accrued dividends of approximately $37.6 million, which is
included as part of the liquidation value of the Preferred Stock.



                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

     We issued options to purchase up to 11,615 shares of our common stock to 74
of our employees on May 31, 2002 in exchange for services. We issued these
options under our 2000 Stock Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $483.13 per
share, which was the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.
One-quarter of these options will vest on each of December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004
and 2005 if the market value of our common stock reaches specified levels on or
before these dates. Any options that remain unvested will vest in full on
December 31, 2009 if the option holder is still our employee on this date. These
options expire ten years from the date of grant. We believe that the issuance of
these options was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof or Regulation D thereunder because this
issuance did not involve a public offering or sale. No underwriters, brokers or
finders were involved in this transaction.
