NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
( in thousands)


NOTE 1 - GENERAL

Tekni-Plex and Subsidiaries (''Tekni-Plex'' or the ''Company'') 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
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 the 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 December 27, 2002, the net carrying
amount of goodwill is $211,268 and other intangible assets are
$3,946. The Company has completed its transitional analysis of
goodwill and has determined no adjustments are necessary.



6


If SFAS 142 had been adopted June 30, 2001, the Company's net loss for the six
months ended December 28, 2001 wild have been reduced because of lower amounts
of amortization as follows:



Three Months Ended Six Months Ended


Net (loss), as reported $ (4,693) $ (9,386)
Add amortization, net of tax 3,458 6,915
---------- -----------
Adjusted net (loss) $ (1,235) $ (2,471)
---------- -----------





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.

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. Under SFAS 146, a company
will record a liability for a cost associated with an exit or
disposal activity when that liability is incurred and can be
measured at fair value. 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
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 prospectively for exit
or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with
earlier adoption encouraged. Under SFAS 146, a company cannot
restate its previously issued financial statements and the new
statement grandfathers the accounting for liabilities that a company
had previously recorded under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 94-3.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

NOTE 7- 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 $ 3,449
Inventories 1,829
Prepaid expenses 334
Deferred Taxes 2,280
Property, Plant and Equipment 12,487
Intangibles, including goodwill 10,912
-------
Total Assets 31,291
-------
Accounts payable and
accrued liabilities 8,485
Integration reserve 6,000
-------
Net Investment $16,806
=======


The Company has 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
December 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 December 27, 2002, is as follows:

The proforma results of operations for the quarter and six months ended December
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
December 27, 2002 is as follows:

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

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

Net Sales increased to $118.6 million for the three months ended December 27,
2002 from $113.7 million for the three months ended December 28, 2001,
representing a 4.3% increase. Net sales in our Industrial Segment grew 7.7%,
primarily due to our Elm acquisition which closed in July 2002. Net sales in our
Consumer Segment fell 3.0% or approximately $1.1 million primarily due to
slightly weaker garden hose sales in late December.

Cost of Sales increased to $87.2 million for the three months ended December 27,
2002 from $86.1 million for the three months ended December 28, 2001, an
increase of $1.1 million. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of sales
decreased to 73.5% for the three months ended December 27, 2002 from 75.7% for
the three months ended December 28, 2001. Continuous cost improvements coupled
with the realization of synergies from our Swan and Elm acquisitions accounted
for this improvement.

Gross Profit, as a result of the above, increased to $31.4 million or 26.5% of
net sales for the three months ended December 27, 2002 from $27.7 million or
24.3% of net sales for the three months ended December 28, 2001.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased to $14.6 million in the
three months ended December 27, 2002 compared to $16.6 million in the three
months ended December 28, 2001. The $2 million decrease is primarily due to a
$4.0 million decrease in amortization expense as required by a change in the
accounting for goodwill, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and
administrative expense associated with our Elm acquisition. The ratio of
selling, general and administrative expense to net sales decreased to 12.3% for
the three months ending December 27, 2002 from 14.6% in the comparable period of
last year.

Operating profit, as a result of the foregoing, increased to $16.8 million or
14.2% of net sales for the three months ended December 27, 2002 from $11.1
million or 9.7% of net sales for the three months ended December 28, 2001.

Operating profit for our Industrial Segment increased to $14.9 million for the
three months ending December 27, 2002 compared to $11.4 million for the three
months ending December 28, 2001. Expressed as a percentage of net sales,
operating profit grew to 17.9% in the most recent period from 14.7% in the
previous year's period due to continuous cost improvement and the realization of
synergies from our Elm acquisition. A decrease in amortization expense also
contributed to this improvement.

Operating profit for our Consumer Segment increased to $6.7 million for the
three months ending December 27, 2002 compared to $3.5 million for the three
months ending December 28, 2001. Expressed as a percentage of net sales,
operating profit grew to 18.9% in the most recent period from 9.7% in the
comparable period of the previous year due to continuous cost improvement and
the realization of synergies at from our Swan acquisition. A decrease in
amortization expense also contributed to this improvement.

Interest expense increased to $17.6 million or 14.8% of net sales in the three
months ended December 27, 2002 from $16.6 million or 14.6% of net sales in the
three months ended December 28, 2001. The increase was due to higher average
interest rates and debt levels resulting from our issuance of $40 million of
senior subordinated notes in May 2002.

Unrealized (gain) loss on derivative transactions was a ($3.2) million gain or
2.7% of net sales for the three months ending December 27, 2002 compared to a
($5.7) million gain or 5.0% of net sales for the three months ending December
28, 2001. The gains were due to changes in the market interest rates
underlying our derivatives.

Income (loss) before income taxes, as a result, was $2.3 million for the three
months ended December 27, 2002 compared to $0.2 million for the three months
ended December 28, 2001.

Income tax was $0.8 million for the three months ended December 27, 2002,
compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended December 28, 2001. The
Company's effective tax rate was 34.6% for the three months ended December 27,
2002 compared to 59.9% for the three months ending December 28, 2001, primarily
as a result of discontinuing the amortization of goodwill, which was
previously not deductible, in 2002.

Net income, as a result, was $1.5 million for the three months ended December
27, 2002 compared with $0.1 million for the three months ended December 28,
2001.

19

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2003 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL
2002

Net Sales increased to $259.2 million for the six months ended December 27, 2002
from $228.9 million for the six months ended December 28, 2001, representing a
13.2% increase. The Swan and Elm acquisitions combined with strong garden hose
sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 were the primary factors contributing
to this gain.

Cost of Sales increased to $197.9 million for the six months ended December 27,
2002 from $174.2 million for the six months ended December 28, 2001. Expressed
as a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased slightly to 76.4% for the
six months ended December 27, 2002 from 76.1% for the six months ended December
28, 2001 primarily due to the inclusion of lower-margin business from our Elm
acquisition that closed during the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

Gross Profit, as a result of the above, increased to $61.3 million for the six
months ended December 27, 2002 from $54.7 million for the six months ended
December 28, 2001. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, gross profit
decreased slightly to 23.6% in the most recent period from 23.9% in the previous
year's first half.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased to $28.5 million in the
six months ended December 27, 2002 compared to $31.8 million in the six months
ended December 28, 2001 due to the reasons previously discussed. The ratio of
selling, general and administrative expense to net sales decreased to 11.0% for
the six months ending December 27, 2002 from 13.9% in the comparable period of
last year.

Operating profit, as a result of the foregoing, increased 43.1% to $32.8 million
or 12.6% of net sales for the six months ended December 27, 2002 from $22.9
million or 10.0% of net sales for the six months ended December 28, 2001.

Operating profit for our Industrial Segment increased to $24.9 million for the
six months ending December 27, 2002 compared to $19.9 million for the six months
ending December 28, 2001. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, operating
profit grew to 14.7% in the most recent period from 13.0% in the comparable
period of the previous year due to continuous cost improvement and the
realization of synergies from our Elm acquisition. A decrease in amortization
expense also contributed to this improvement.

Operating profit for our Consumer Segment increased to $16.7 million for the six
months ending December 27, 2002 compared to $10.6 million for the six months
ending December 28, 2001. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, operating
profit grew to 18.5% in the most recent period from 14.1% in the previous year's
period due to continuous cost improvement and the realization of synergies from
our Swan acquisition. A decrease in amortization expense also contributed to
this improvement.

Interest expense increased slightly to $35.2 in the six months ended December
27, 2002 from $34.4 million in the six months ended December 28, 2001 primarily
due to higher average interest rates and debt levels resulting from our issuance
of $40 million of senior subordinated notes in May 2002. Expressed as a
percentage of net sales, interest expense decreased to 13.6% in the current
period compared to 15.0% in the comparable period of last year.

Unrealized (gain) loss on derivative transactions was a $2.1 million loss or
0.8% of net sales for the six months ending December 27, 2002 compared to a $2.6
million loss or 1.1% of net sales for the six months ending December 28, 2001.
The loss was due to changes in the market interest rates underlying our
derivatives.

Income (loss) before income taxes, as a result, was a loss of ($5.0) million for
the six months ended December 27, 2002 compared to a loss of ($14.4) million for
the six months ended December 28, 2001.

Income tax (benefit) was a credit of ($1.8) million for the six months ended
December 27, 2002, compared to a credit of ($5.0) million for the six months
ended December 28, 2001. The Company's effective tax rate was 35.1% for the six
months ended December 27, 2002 compared to 34.8% for the six months ending
December 28, 2001.

Net income (loss), as a result, was a loss of ($3.2) million for the six months
ended December 27, 2002 compared with a loss of ($9.4) million for the six
months ended December 28, 2001.

20

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operations for the six months ended December 27, 2002 was
$4.1 million compared with $4.3 million in the same period of the prior year.
The decrease of $0.2 million was primarily due to a larger seasonal inventory
build-up offset by a larger seasonal reduction in accounts receivable at our
garden hose unit compared to last year resulting from our Swan acquisition.
Working capital on December 27, 2002 was $205.4 million compared to $216.9
million on June 28, 2002. The decrease was due primarily to a seasonal reduction
in accounts receivable offset by a normal seasonal increase in inventories.
During the period the Company also reduced the accounts payable at our Elm
acquisition by approximately $4.0 million.

As of December 27, 2002, the Company had an outstanding balance of $63.0 million
under the $100.0 million revolving credit line. This represents an increase of
$17.0 million from the outstanding balance as of June 28, 2002.

The Company's capital expenditures for the six months ended December 27, 2002
and December 28, 2001 were $13.6 million and $9.1 million respectively. In
addition, the Company paid $16.8 million for acquisitions in the six months
ending December 27, 2002 compared to $65.8 million in the comparable period of
the previous year.

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 Company may need additional
financing to take advantage of acquisition opportunities that may arise in the
next several quarters. There can be no assurance that such financing will be
available in the amounts required for such acquisitions and on 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
December 27, 2002, the principal amount of the Company's aggregate outstanding
variable rate indebtedness was $389.0 million. A hypothetical 10% adverse change
in interest rates would have an annualized unfavorable impact of approximately
$1.3 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
days of the filing date of this quarterly report, have concluded that as of the
Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and
designed to ensure that material information relating to us and our consolidated
subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities. To
