7 8 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands) NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES (a) In January 1993 and 1994, the Company's Belgian subsidiary received income tax assessments aggregating approximately $2,032 (75,247 Belgian Francs) for the disallowance of certain foreign tax credits and investment losses claimed for the years ended July 31, 1990 and 1991. Additionally, in January 1995, the subsidiary received an income tax assessment of approximately $866 (32,083 Belgian francs) for the year ended July 31, 1992. By Belgian law, these assessments are capped at the values above and do not continue to accrue additional penalties or interest. Although the future outcome of these matters is uncertain, the Company believes that its tax position was appropriate and that the assessments are without merit. Therefore, the Company has appealed the assessments. Based on advice of legal counsel in Belgium, the Company believes that the assessment appeals will be accepted by the tax authorities in Belgium, although there can be no assurance whether or when such appeals will be accepted. (b) The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the normal conduct of business. Management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. 8 9 TEKNI-PLEX, INC.

12 13 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1999 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1998 Net Sales increased to $108.1 million for the three months ended October 2, 1998 from $37.8 million for the three months ended September 26, 1997. This represents an increase of $70.3 million or 186.0%. The increased sales are primarily attributed to the acquisition of PureTec in March 1998. Cost of Goods Sold increased to $81.0 million for the three months ended October 2, 1998 from $27.9 million for the three months ended September 26, 1997, primarily due to the acquisition of PureTec. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased to 74.9% for the three months ended October 2, 1998 from 73.7% for the three months ended September 26, 1997. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to the different sales mix associated with the purchase of PureTec. Gross Profit as a result, increased to $27.1 million or 25.1% of net sales for the three months ended October 2, 1998, from $9.9 million or 26.3% of net sales for the three months ended September 26, 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $14.0 million or 12.9% of net sales for the three months ended October 2, 1998 from $4.0 million or 10.7% of net sales for the three months ended September 26, 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales due primarily to the acquisition of PureTec, as well as increased administrative costs and higher selling expenses associated with the global expansion of the Company's healthcare packaging products. Operating profit increased to $13.1 million or 12.2% of net sales for the three months ended October 2, 1998, from $5.9 million or 15.6% for the three months ended September 26, 1997, due primarily to the different sales mix associated with the purchase of PureTec as stated above. Interest expense increased to $9.6 million or 8.9% of net sales for the three months ended October 2, 1998, from $2.1 million or 5.6% of net sales for the same period in the prior year. This is due to the issuance of bonds and notes to acquire PureTec. Provision for income taxes increased to $1.6 million or 1.5% of net sales for the three months ended October 2, 1998, from $1.4 million or 3.7% for the same period in the prior year. The Company's effective tax rate was 51% for the three months ended October 2, 1998 compared to 38% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in effective tax rate between periods is due primarily to non-deductible amortization and the depletion of tax carryover losses and credits from prior acquisitions. Net income decreased to $1.5 million or 1.4% of net sales for the three months ended October 2, 1998, from $2.3 million or 6.1% of net sales for the same period in the prior year, due primarily to the impact of acquiring PureTec, as discussed above. 13 14 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the three months ended October 2, 1998, net cash provided by operating activities was $7.2 million compared to $3.3 million for the same period in the prior year. This was due primarily to the acquisition of PureTec. Working capital at October 2, 1998 was $94.2 million compared to $84.9 million at July 3, 1998. The increase in working capital was due primarily to the decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and increased inventory, partially offset by normal seasonal decreases in accounts receivable. As of October 2, 1998 and July 3, 1998, there was no outstanding balance under the $90 million revolving credit line of the Existing Credit Facility. The Company's capital expenditures for the three months ended October 2, 1998 and September 26, 1997 were $1.8 million, and $1.2 million respectively. Management expects that annual capital expenditures will increase from historical levels during the next few years as the Company makes improvements in the recently acquired operations. Apart from acquisitions, the Company's 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 from the credit facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's expected debt service requirements, planned capital expenditures, and operating needs. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available from operations or borrowings under the credit facility to meet the Company's cash needs to the extent management anticipates. The credit facility will provide the Company with the increased flexibility to make capital expenditures and acquisitions that management believes will provide an attractive return on investment. To the extent the Company pursues future acquisitions, the Company may be required to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing in amounts and on terms acceptable to it. YEAR 2000 ISSUES Definition: "Year 2000 issues" refer to possible events resulting directly or indirectly from the inability of digital computer equipment or software to accurately and without interruption handle dates both before and after January 1, 2000 and to process the year 2000 as a leap year. Assessment: Tekni-Plex is currently evaluating the potential impact and remediation costs of Year 2000 issues. Although this assessment is not yet complete, the Company believes that, due to the nature of its manufacturing processes and procedures, the Year 2000 issues will not have a material impact on its business. Manufacturing Infrastructure: The Company's basic operations involve certain plastics converting processes. These processes involve primarily plastic extrusion and compounding equipment of various forms. For the most part, this equipment is controlled either manually or by means of mechanical and analog devices. For equipment that does include microprocessors, the applications being controlled are mechanical and not date-sensitive, and can be controlled manually if necessary. In its investigations thus far, the Company has identified no significant manufacturing processes that would be disabled by a total loss of digital computer components. Support Systems: The Company's assessment does indicate that there may be support systems, such as accounting systems, that may be affected by the Year 2000 issues. The Company believes that it has identified most of the major computers, software applications, and other equipment utilized by such support systems that must be 14 15 modified, upgraded, or replaced to minimize the possibility of any disruption of business. The Company has commenced the process of modifying, upgrading, and replacing major systems that may be adversely affected, and expects to complete this process before the occurrence of any significant disruption of business. However, to a large extent, this includes replacing systems of acquired businesses, which was previously planned as part of the Company's normal integration strategy. Therefore, additional costs that will be incurred solely due to Year 2000 issues are not expected to be significant. In addition, the Company does routine data backup of critical systems during the normal course of business. This backup provides the ability to recover data in the event of a catastrophic computer failure. It is the Company's belief that its customers and suppliers, for the most part, have similar data safeguards in place. Suppliers: The Company is in the process of contacting its suppliers to identify any potential disruption in the supply of raw materials. The Company expects to resolve any significant Year 2000 issues before the occurrence of any business disruptions, although the Company has limited or no control over the actions of these suppliers. However, the Company believes that the supply of basic chemicals and other raw materials used in its vertically integrated manufacturing processes is unlikely to be significantly disrupted. In addition, the Company, in the normal course of business, maintains adequate inventories of such raw materials to protect against short-term delivery interruptions. Customers: Tekni-Plex is committed to providing uninterrupted service to its customers. In a few cases, the Company has direct interfaces with the computer systems of its customers, primarily for "vendor managed inventory" applications. The Company expects to resolve any significant Year 2000 issues with such customers before the occurrence of any business disruptions, although the Company has limited or no control over the actions of these customers. The Company expects to maintain adequate finished goods inventories to protect customers against the possibility of temporary computer interface interruptions, if any. Conclusion: Tekni-Plex expects to find and adequately prepare for all significant internal Year 2000 issues that could adversely affect its business operations. The Company does not anticipate that the cost of resolving such problems will be material to its financial results. However, the Company does not believe that it is possible to identify, with complete certainty, all potential Year 2000 issues that may in some way affect the Company, its suppliers, or its customers. The Company expects that any disputes arising as the result of such unidentified Year 2000 issues will be resolved in the normal course of business.
