NOTE 1 - GENERAL

Nature of Business

Tekni-Plex, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Tekni-Plex" or the "Company")
is a global, diversified manufacturer of packaging, packaging products,
and materials as well as tubing products. The Company primarily serves
the food, healthcare and consumer markets. 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 primary business groups: Packaging and
Tubing Products.

The results for the first quarter and three months of 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
fiscal year and have not been audited. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals,
necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the
period presented and the consolidated balance sheet at September 26,
2003. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
SEC rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto that were
included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 27, 2003.

NOTE 2 New Accounting Pronouncements


In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and
Equity." This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer
classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. In accordance with the standard, financial instruments that
embody obligations for the issuer are required to be classified as
liabilities. This Statement shall be effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise
shall be effective at the beginning of the first interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS 150 does not currently apply to the
Company.

NOTE 6 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

Tekni-Plex management reviews its operating plants to evaluate performance and
allocate resources. As a result, beginning in fiscal year 2002, Tekni-Plex has
aggregated its operating plants into two industry segments: Packaging and Tubing
Products. The Packaging segment principally produces foam egg cartons,
pharmaceutical blister films, poultry and meat processor trays, closure liners,
aerosol and pump packaging components and foam plates. The Tubing Products
segment principally produces garden and irrigation hose, medical tubing and pool
hose. Products that do not fit in either of these segments, including recycled
PET, vinyl compounds and specialty resins have been reflected in Other. The
Packaging and Tubing Products segments have operations in the United States,
Europe and Canada. Other products not included in either segment are produced in
the United States. The prior year has been restated to conform to this
presentation. Financial information concerning the Company's business segments

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

FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2004 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2003

Net sales declined by $4.5 million or 3.2% to $136.1 million for the three
months ended September 26, 2003 from $140.6 million for the three months ended
September 27, 2002. The decrease in net sales was largely attributable to lower
garden hose sales due to unusually rainy weather throughout much of North
America in July and August. Net sales for our Tubing Segment decreased $4.1
million to $39.4 million in the current period from $43.4 million in the prior
period. Net sales for our Packaging Segment decreased $2.0 million or 2.8% to
$68.7 million in the current period from $70.7 million in the prior period due
to lower egg carton sales in the quarter. Other net sales increased 5.9% to
$28.0 million in the current period compared to $26.4 million last year.

Cost of sales decreased to $106.2 million for the three months ended September
26, 2003 from $110.7 million for the three months ended September 27, 2002.
Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 78.1% for the
three months ended September 26, 2003 from 78.7% for the three months ended
September 27, 2002 primarily due to improved profitability at our garden hose
unit.

Gross profit, as a result, remained essentially flat at $29.8 million for the
three months ended September 26, 2003 from $29.9 million for the three months
ending September 27, 2002. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, gross profit
improved to 21.9% in the current period from 21.3% in the previous year. Our
Tubing Segment gross profit increased to $11.6 million or 29.6% of net sales in
the first quarter of fiscal 2004 compared to $10.8 million or 24.9% in the first
quarter of the previous year due to improved profitability at our garden hose
unit stemming from our continuous cost reduction program. Gross profit at our
Packaging Segment declined to $16.6 million in the most recent period from $17.3
million in the comparable period of last year due to lower sales volume.
Measured as a percentage of net sales, gross profit declined to 24.1% in fiscal
2004 from 24.5% in fiscal 2003. Other gross profit decreased slightly to $1.6
million in the current period from $1.7 million in the comparable period of the
previous year. Measured as a percentage of net sales, other gross profit
decreased to 5.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 compared to 6.5% in the
same period of the previous year.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased to $15.4 million in the
three months ended September 26, 2003 compared to $13.9 million in the three
months ended September 27, 2002 due to higher selling expense associated with
our expanding picnic plate business as well as higher legal, and insurance
related expenses due to timing differences. The ratio of selling, general and
administrative expense to net sales increased to 11.3% for the three months
ending September 26, 2003 from 9.9% in the comparable period of last year.

Integration expense of $1.2 million represents costs to reconfigure and realign
the Elm production facilities to conform to our current production and product
standards.

Operating profit, as a result of the foregoing, decreased to $13.3 million or
9.8% of net sales for the three months ended September 26, 2003 from $16.0
million or 11.4% of net sales for the three months ended September 27, 2002.
Operating profit for our Tubing Segment increased to $8.3 million in the current
period from $7.6 million in the prior period. Measured as a percentage of net
sales, operating profit increased to 21.0% in the current period from 17.4% in
the prior period. Operating Profit for our Packaging Segment decreased to $10.0
million in the current period from $12.3 million in the prior period due to
lower egg carton sales volume and higher selling expense associated with our
picnic plate business. Measured as a percent of net sales, operating profit for
our Packaging Segment decreased to 14.6% in the current period from 17.4% in the
prior period. Other operating profit was flat at 0.1 million in the current
period compared to the previous year. Measured as a percentage of net sales,
other operating profit decreased slightly to 0.2% in the first quarter of fiscal
2004 compared to 0.5% in the same period of the previous year.

Interest expense decreased to $17.5 million in the three months ended September
26, 2003 from $17.7 million in the three months ended September 27, 2002.
Measured as a percentage of net sales, interest expense increased to 12.9% in
the current period compared to 12.6% in the previous period due to lower sales.
The unrealized (gain) loss in derivative contracts increased to a gain of $2.4
million in the current period as compared to a loss of $5.3 million for the
three months ended September 27, 2002.

Loss before income taxes, as a result, was a loss of ($1.9) million for the
three months ended September 26, 2003 compared to a loss of ($7.3) million for
the three months ended September 27, 2002.

Benefit for income taxes was a credit of ($0.8) million for the three months
ended September 26, 2003, compared to a credit of ($2.6) million for the three
months ended September 27, 2002. The Company's effective tax rate was 40.0% for
the three months ended September 26, 2003 compared to 34.9% for the three months
ending September 27, 2002.

Net loss, as a result, was a loss of ($1.1) million for the three months ended
September 26, 2003 compared with a loss of ($4.8) million for the three months
ended September 27, 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operations for the three months ended September 26, 2003
was $19.9 million compared with $33.3 million in the same period of the prior
year. The $13.4 million decrease was due primarily to a reduction in accounts
payable.

Working capital on September 26, 2003 was $234.8 million compared to $249.7
million on June 27, 2003. During the quarter, a normal seasonal reduction in
accounts receivable was partially offset by a normal seasonal increase in
inventories.

As of September 26, 2003, the Company had an outstanding balance of $91 million
under the $100.0 million revolving credit line.

The Company's capital expenditures for the three months ended September 26, 2003
and September 27, 2002 were $7.8 million and $6.0 million respectively.

The Company continues to expect that its principal uses of cash for the next
several years will be 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 26, 2003, the principal amount of the Company's aggregate outstanding
variable rate indebtedness was $407.7 million. A hypothetical 1% adverse change
in interest rates would have an annualized unfavorable impact of approximately
$1.1 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

The management of the Company, including the Company's principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of
Exchange Act) as of September 26, 2003. Based on such evaluation, the Company's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that
as of September 26, 2003, such disclosure controls and procedures are effective
for the purpose of ensuring that material information required to be in this
Annual Report is made known to them by others on a timely basis. There have not
been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter
ended September 26, 2003 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely
to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
