TEKNI-PLEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

Tekni-Plex is a global, diversified manufacturer of packaging, products, and
materials primarily for the healthcare, food and consumer industries. The
Company has built a leadership position in its core markets, and focuses on
vertically integrated production of highly specialized products. The Company's
operations are aligned under two business groups: Industrial Packaging,
Products, and Materials and Consumer Packaging and Products.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. For further information please refer to the
audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2002.

NOTE 2 New Accounting Pronouncements

a) In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized
FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141
requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits
the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also
requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart
from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain
criteria. SFAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001 and for purchase business combinations completed
on or after July 1, 2001. It also requires, upon adoption of SFAS
142, that the Company reclassify the carrying amounts of intangible
assets and goodwill based on the criteria in SFAS 141.

SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer
amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least
annually. In addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify
reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential future
impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing
recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible
assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible asset with an
indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in accordance
with the guidance in SFAS 142. SFAS 142 is required to be applied in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and
other intangible assets recognized at that date, regardless of when
those assets were initially recognized. SFAS 142 requires the
Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six
months from the date of adoption. The Company is also required to
reassess the useful lives of other intangible assets within the
first interim quarter after adoption of SFAS 142.

The Company's previous business combinations were accounted for
using the purchase method. As of September 27, 2002, the net
carrying amount of goodwill is $210,195 and other intangible assets
are $3,694. If the Company adopted FASB 142 on June 30, 2001, the
Company's pre-tax loss for the three months ended September 28,
2001 would have been improved by $3,875 due to reduced
amortization. The Company has completed its transitional analysis
of goodwill and has determined no adjustments are necessary.

b) In August 2001, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144").
The new guidance resolves significant implementation issues related
to FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ("SFAS
121"). SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121, but it retains its fundamental
provisions. It also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to
consolidate a subsidiary for which control is likely to be
temporary. SFAS 144 retains the requirement of SFAS 121 to recognize
an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset
within the scope of SFAS 144 is not recoverable from its
undiscounted cash flows and exceeds its fair value.

SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early
application encouraged. The provisions of SFAS 144 generally are to
be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.


6


c) In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for
Restructuring Costs. SFAS 146 applies to costs associated with an
exit activity (including restructuring) or with a disposal of
long-lived assets. Those activities can include eliminating or
reducing product lines, terminating employees and contracts, and
relocating plant facilities or personnel. SFAS 146 will require a
company to disclose information about its exit and disposal
activities, the related costs, and changes in those costs in the
notes to the interim and annual financial statements that include
the period in which an exit activity is initiated and in any
subsequent period until the activity is completed. SFAS 146 is
effective for exit or disposal activities after December 31, 2002,
with earlier adoption encouraged. SFAS 146 does not currently affect
the Company.

TEKNI-PLEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands)





NOTE 8 - ACQUISITIONS

The Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of ELM
Packaging "ELM" on July 10, 2002, for approximately $16,806, including
acquisition costs, in cash. The allocation of the purchase is as follows:

Assets:



Accounts receivable $ 2,640
Inventory 3,159
Prepaid expenses 334
Deferred Taxes 2,280
Fixed Assets 12,487
Goodwill 9,582
-------
Total Assets 30,482
-------
Accounts payable and accrued
liabilities 7,676
Integration reserve 6,000
-------
Net Investment $16,806
=======




The Company utilized preliminary estimates and assumptions in determining the
allocation of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed of ELM.
While management believes such estimates and assumptions are reasonable, the
final allocation of the purchase price may differ from that reflected in the
unaudited September 27, 2002 consolidated balance sheet after a more extensive
review of fair values of the assets and liabilities is completed.

In connection with the acquisition, a reserve of $6,000 has been established for
the costs to integrate ELM's operations with the company. The reserve is
included in accrued expenses. The components of the integration reserve and
activity through September 27, 2002.

Legal, environmental and other 2,500 26 2,474
---------- ----------- -----------
$ 6,000 $ 356 $ 5,644
========== =========== ===========


The remaining costs are expected to be paid over the next six to nine months.

The proforma results of operations for the quarter ended September 28, 2001,
assuming ELM was acquired on June 30, 2001, would not be materially different
from the historical presentation.

In October 2001, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Swan Hose for approximately $63,600. The acquisition was recorded
under the purchase method, whereby Swan's net assets were recorded at estimated
fair value and its operations have been reflected in the statement of operations
since that date. The components of the Integration reserve and activity through
September 27, 2002 is as follows:



BALANCE COSTS CHARGED BALANCE
OCTOBER 2001 TO RESERVE SEPTEMBER 27, 2002
------------ --------------- ------------------

Cost to close duplicate facilities $ 3,500 $2,245 $1,255
Reduction in personnel and related costs 2,100 864 1,236
Legal and environmental 1,275 53 1,222
Manufacturing reconfiguration 1,455 199 1,256
Other 1,670 1,164 506
------- ------ ------
$10,000 $4,525 $5,475
======= ====== ======


The remaining personnel related costs will be paid over the next four-six
months, lease payments on duplicate warehouse facilities will extend over the
next two years and the manufacturing reconfiguration is expected to be completed
during the next year.

The following table represents the unaudited proforma results of operations as
though the acquisition of Swan occurred on July 1, 2001. Since Swan was
purchased subsequent to July 1, 2001, no amortization of goodwill has been
reflected in accordance with SFAS 142.

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

FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2003 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2002

Net Sales increased by $25.4 million or 22.1% to $140.6 million for the three
months ended September 27, 2002 from $115.2 million for the three months ended
September 28, 2001. The increase in sales is largely attributable to the
inclusion of Swan Hose which was acquired in October 2001 and Elm Packaging
which was acquired in July 2002. Swan and Elm combined accounted for
approximately $21.7 million of net sales in the current period.

Net Sales for our Industrial Segment increased 8.1% to $85.9 million in the
current period from $76.5 million in the prior period. This increase was
primarily due to our Elm acquisition. Net Sales for our Consumer Segment
increased 41.3% to $54.7 million in the current period from $38.7 million in the
prior period primarily due to our Swan acquisition.

Cost of Sales increased to $110.7 million for the three months ended September
27, 2002 from $88.2 million for the three months ended September 28, 2001.
Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased to 78.7% for the
three months ended September 27, 2002 from 76.5% for the three months ended
September 28, 2001 primarily due to the inclusion of lower margin business from
Elm Packaging. Higher raw material cost also contributed to the increase in cost
of sales.

Gross Profit, as a result, increased to $29.9 million for the three months ended
September 27, 2002 from $27.0 million for the three months ending September 28,
2001. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, gross profit declined to 21.3% in
the current year from 23.5% in the previous year.

Selling, general and administrative expense declined to $13.9 million in the
three months ended September 27, 2002 compared to $15.2 million in the three
months ended September 28, 2001. Higher selling, general and administrative
expenses associated with our Swan and Elm acquisitions were more than offset by
a $3.9 million reduction in amortization expense associated with goodwill due to
a mandated change in accounting policy. The ratio of selling, general and
administrative expense to net sales decreased to 9.9% for the three months
ending September 27, 2002 from 13.2% in the comparable period of last year.

Operating profit, as a result of the foregoing, increased to $16.0 million or
11.4% of net sales for the three months ended September 27, 2002 from $11.8
million or 10.3% of net sales for the three months ended September 28, 2001.

Operating Profit for our Industrial Segment increased to $10.0 million in the
current period from $8.6 million in the prior period. Measured as a percentage
of net sales, operating profit increased to 11.6% in the current period from
11.2% in the prior period. Operating Profit for our Consumer Segment increased
$10.0 million in the current period from $7.0 million in the prior period due
to our Swan acquisition. Measured as a percent of net sales, operating profit
for our Consumer Segment increased to 18.3% in the current period from 18.1% in
the prior period.

Interest expense decreased to $17.7 million or 12.6% of net sales in the three
months ended September 27, 2002 from $17.8 million or 15.4% of net sales in the
three months ended September 28, 2001. The decrease as a percent of sales is due
to increased sales.

Loss before income taxes, as a result, was a loss of ($7.3) million for the
three months ended September 27, 2002 compared to a loss of ($14.6) million for
the three months ended September 28, 2001.

Benefit for income taxes was a credit of ($2.6) million for the three months
ended September 27, 2002, compared to a credit of ($5.1) million for the three
months ended September 28, 2001. The Company's effective tax rate was 34.9% for
the three months ended September 27, 2002 compared to 35.0% for the three months
ending September 28, 2001.

Net loss, as a result, was a loss of ($4.8) million for the three months ended
September 27, 2002 compared with a loss of ($9.5) million for the three months
ended September 28, 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operations for the three months ended September 27, 2002
was $33.3 million compared with $22.3 million in the same period of the prior
year. The $10.9 million increase was due primarily to the increase in the normal
seasonal reduction of accounts receivable related to our Swan Hose acquisition.

Working capital on September 27, 2002 was $184.9 million compared to $216.9
million on June 28, 2002. The decrease was due primarily to cash expended to
acquire Elm at $16.8 million, the acquisition of fixed assets of $6.0 million
and the reduction of borrowings under our revolving line of credit at $11.0
million.

As of September 27, 2002, the Company had an outstanding balance of $35 million
under the $100.0 million revolving credit line. This represents a reduction of
$11.0 million from the $46.0 million outstanding balance as of June 28, 2002.

The Company's capital expenditures for the three months ended September 27, 2002
and September 28, 2001 were $6.0 million and $4.7 million respectively.

14

The Company continues to expect that its principal uses of cash for the next
several years will be acquisitions, debt service, capital expenditures and
working capital requirements. Management believes that cash generated from
operations plus funds available in the Company's credit facility will be
sufficient to meet its needs and to provide it with the flexibility to make
capital expenditures and acquisitions which management believes will provide an
attractive return on investment. However, the probability exists that the
Company may need additional financing to take advantage of all the acquisition
opportunities that might arise. There can be no assurance that such financing
will be available in the amounts and terms acceptable to the Company.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to market risk inherent in certain debt instruments. At
September 27, 2002, the principal amount of the Company's aggregate outstanding
variable rate indebtedness was $363.7 million. A hypothetical 10% adverse change
in interest rates would have an annualized unfavorable impact of approximately
$1.7 million on the Company's after-tax earnings and cash flows, assuming the
Company's current effective tax rate and assuming no change in the principal
amount. Conversely, a reduction in interest rates would favorably impact the
Company's after-tax earnings and cash flows in a similar proportion.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief executive
officer and our chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of
the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-14(c) and 15-d-14(c)) as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") within 90

subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no significant changes in our
internal controls or [to our knowledge,] in other factors that could
significantly affect our internal controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ordinary course of business, none of which the Company believes is
likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

Item 2. Changes in Securities None
