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

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

Tekni-Plex is a global, diversified manufacturer of packaging, packaging
products and materials as well as tubing products. Tekni-Plex primarily serves
the food, healthcare and consumer markets. Tekni-Plex has built leadership
positions in its core markets, and has focused on vertically integrated
production of highly specialized products. Tekni-Plex has operations in the
United States, Europe and Canada. Tekni-Plex's operations are aligned under two
business segments: Packaging and Tubing Products. Products that do not fit in
either of these two segments, including recycled PET, vinyl compounds and
specialty resins have been reflected as Other.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tekni-Plex, Inc.
and its Subsidiaries.

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.

The results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended March 28,
2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal
year ending June 27, 2003 or any other period.

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 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 nine months ended March 29, 2002 would have reduced because of
lower amounts of amortization as follows:



Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended

Net income (loss), as reported $ 2,305 $ (7,081)
Add amortization, net of tax 3,462 10,377
-------- ---------
Adjusted net income $ 5,767 $ 3,296
======== =========


b) In December 2002, The FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 123". SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative
methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In
addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No.
123 as it relates to accounting for stock-based employee compensation
and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company
does not plan to adopt the fair value based method prescribed by
FASB 123.

Under the accounting provisions of FASB 123, the Company's net income
(loss) would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated
below, using the following assumptions: expected lives of 8 years, no
dividend yield, volatility at 0%, and risk free interest rate of 4.0%
for 2001 (the last year of grants).

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 & Equipment 12,487
Intangibles including goodwill 11,010
--------
Total Assets 31,389
--------
Accounts payable and accrued
liabilities 8,583
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
March 28, 2003 consolidated balance sheet after a more extensive review of fair
values of inventory and the acquisition reserve. The Company expects to finalize
this allocation in the next three months.

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 liabilities. The components of the integration reserve and
activity through March 28, 2003, is as follows:

The proforma results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended March
29, 2002, 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
March 28, 2003 is as follows:

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

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


Net sales increased to $166.1 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003
from $153.4 million for the three months ended March 29, 2002, representing an
8.3% gain. Net sales in our Packaging Segment grew 16.7%, primarily due to our
Elm acquisition which closed in July 2002. Net sales in our Tubing Products
Segment grew 2.6% and other net sales grew 4.0%.

Cost of Sales increased to $122.0 million for the three months ended March 28,
2003 from $111.4 million for the three months ended March 29, 2002. Expressed as
a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased to 73.4% in the current
period compared to 72.6% in the prior period primarily due to higher raw
material costs.

Gross Profit, as a result of the above, increased to $44.1 million in the
current period compared to $42.0 million in the prior period. Expressed as a
percentage of net sales, gross profit declined to 26.6% for the three months
ended March 28, 2003 from 27.4% in comparable period of last year.

Our Packaging Segment gross profit increased to $22.2 million for the three
months ended March 28, 2003 from $18.2 million for the three months ended March

three months ended March 28, 2003 from $19.5 million for the three months ended
March 29, 2002. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, Tubing Products Segment
gross profit increased to 29.8% in the current period from 28.8% in the previous
period.

Other gross profit fell to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 28,
2003 from $4.4 million for the three months ended March 29, 2002.

Selling, General and Administrative expense decreased to $14.6 million in the
most recent quarter from $18.5 million in the comparable period of the previous
year primarily due to a $4.0 million reduction in amortization expense
associated with a required change in accounting for goodwill. Measured as a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expense decreased
to 8.8% in the current period from 12.1% in the previous period.

Operating Profit, as a result of the above, increased to $29.6 million for the
three months ended March 28, 2003 from $23.5 million for the three months ended
March 29, 2002. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, operating profit
increased to 17.8% in the most recent period from 15.3% in the comparable period
of last year.

declined to a loss of $0.3 million in the current period from income of $2.3
million in the previous period.

Interest expense decreased to $18.7 million or 11.3% of net sales in the three
months ended March 28, 2003 from $19.0 million or 12.4% of net sales for the
three months ended March 29, 2002.

Unrealized (gain) loss on derivative transactions was a $0.8 million gain or
0.5% of net sales for the three months ending March 28, 2003 compared to a $1.1
million loss or 0.7% of net sales for the three months ending March 29, 2002.
The changes were due to changes in the market interest rates underlying our
derivatives.

Income before income taxes, as a result, was $12.0 million or 7.2% of net sales
for the three months ended March 28, 2003 compared to $3.5 million or 2.3% of
net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2002.

19



Income tax was $4.4 million for the three months ended March 28, 2003, compared
to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 29, 2002. The Company's
effective tax rate was 36.8% for the three months ended March 28, 2003 compared
to 33.9% for the three months ending March 29, 2002.

Net income, as a result, was $7.6 million for the three months ended March 28,
2003 or 4.6% of net sales compared with $2.3 million for the three months ended
March 29, 2002 or 1.5% of net sales.

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

Net sales increased to $425.3 million for the nine months ended March 28,
2003 from $382.3 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2002, representing
an 11.2% gain. Net sales in our Packaging Segment grew 14.0%, primarily due
to our Elm acquisition which closed in July 2002. Net sales in our Tubing
Products Segment grew 12.8% primarily due to the inclusion of net sales from our
Swan acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Other net sales grew 2.5%.

Cost of Sales increased to $319.9 million for the nine months ended March 28,
2003 from $285.6 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2002. Expressed as
a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased to 75.2% in the current
period compared to 74.7% in the prior period primarily due to higher raw
material costs.

Gross Profit, as a result of the above, increased to $105.4 million in the
current period compared to $96.7 million in the prior period. Expressed as a

months ended March 29, 2002.

Selling, General and Administrative expense decreased to $43.0 million in the
most recent quarter from $50.3 million in the comparable period of the previous
year primarily due to a $12.1 million reduction in amortization expense
associated with a required change in accounting for goodwill. Measured as a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expense decreased
to 10.1% in the current period from 13.2% in the previous period.

Operating Profit, as a result of the above, increased to $62.3 million for the
nine months ended March 28, 2003 from $46.4 million for the nine months ended

0.3% of net sales for the nine months ending March 28, 2003 compared to a $3.7
million loss or 1.0% of net sales for the nine months ending March 29, 2002. The
changes were due to changes in the market interest rates underlying our
derivatives.

Income (loss) before income taxes, as a result, was $7.0 million for the nine
months ended March 28, 2003 compared to a loss of ($10.9) million for the nine
months ended March 29, 2002.

21


Income tax expense (benefit) was $2.7 million for the nine months ended March
28, 2003, compared to a benefit of ($3.8) million for the nine months ended
March 29, 2002. The Company's effective tax rate was 38.0% for the nine months
ended March 28, 2003 compared to 35.0% for the nine months ending March 29,
2002.

Net income (loss), as a result, was $4.4 million for the nine months
ended March 28, 2003 compared with a loss of ($7.1) million for the nine months
ended March 29, 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended March 28, 2003 was $5.6
million compared with $15.4 million in the same period of the prior year. The
decrease of $9.8 million was primarily due to a larger seasonal reduction in
accounts receivable at our garden hose unit compared to last year.

Working capital on March 28, 2003 was $231.9 million compared to $216.9 million
on June 28, 2002. The increase was due primarily to a normal seasonal increase
in garden hose inventories.

As of March 28, 2003, the Company had an outstanding balance of $88.0 million
under the $100.0 million revolving credit line. This represents an increase of
$42.0 million from the outstanding balance as of June 28, 2002.

The Company's capital expenditures for the nine months ended March 28, 2003 and
March 29, 2002 were $24.6 million and $12.3 million respectively. In addition,
the Company paid $16.8 million for acquisitions in the nine months ending March
28, 2003 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
March 28, 2003, the principal amount of the Company's aggregate outstanding
variable rate indebtedness was $410.9 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. To
mitigate these risks, in June 2000, the Company entered into interest rate
Swap and Cap Agreements for a notional amount of $344,000.
