BUSINESS INTRODUCTION Tekni-Plex, Inc. was founded as a Delaware corporation in 1967 to acquire the General Felt Products division of Standard Packaging Corporation. The Company, then located in Brooklyn, NY, built a reputation for solving difficult packaging problems and providing customers with high quality, advanced packaging materials. In 1970, the Company built an additional manufacturing facility in Somerville, New Jersey, diversifying into the business of producing polystyrene foam trays for the poultry processing industry. The Somerville facility serves as the current headquarters of the Company. As used herein, "Tekni-Plex" or the "Company" means Tekni-Plex, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. In March 1994, Tekni-Plex was acquired by its current controlling shareholder and Dr. F. Patrick Smith who was elected Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Kenneth W.R. Baker, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, was appointed in April 1994. At that time, the principal product lines consisted of: clear, high-barrier laminations for pharmaceutical blister packaging; foam processor trays, primarily for the poultry industry; and closure (bottle cap) liners, primarily for pharmaceutical end-uses. In December 1995, Tekni-Plex acquired the Flemington, NJ, plant and business of Hargro Flexible Packaging Corporation ("Hargro"). The Flemington plant produces packaging materials primarily for the pharmaceutical industry. In February 1996, Tekni-Plex completed its acquisition of Dolco Packaging Corporation ("Dolco"), a publicly-traded foam products company. With $81 million of annual sales, Dolco at the time was nearly twice the size of Tekni-Plex. Dolco had been in the business of producing foam packaging products since the 1960s and had attained the leading share of foam egg carton sales in the United States. In August 1997, Dolco, which had been a wholly owned subsidiary of Tekni-Plex, was merged into Tekni-Plex. In March 1998, Tekni-Plex acquired PureTec Corporation ("PureTec"), a publicly-traded company with annual sales of $315 million. PureTec is a leading manufacturer of plastic packaging, products, and materials primarily for the healthcare and consumer markets. PureTec is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tekni-Plex. In January 1999, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tekni-Plex acquired substantially all the assets of Tri-Seal International, Inc., a leader in sophisticated extruded and co-extruded capliners and seals. The Tri-Seal operations have been integrated with Tekni-Plex's closure liner business. In April 1999, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tekni-Plex acquired substantially all the assets of High Voltage Engineering Corporation's Natvar division, a producer of disposable medical tubing. As with Tri-Seal, the Natvar acquisition was intended to strengthen existing Tekni-Plex lines of business and expand product offerings. The Natvar operation has been integrated into the Company's medical tubing division. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Tekni-Plex is a global, diversified manufacturer of packaging, products, and materials for the healthcare, consumer, and food packaging 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 four primary business groups: Healthcare Packaging, Products, and Materials; Consumer Packaging and Products; Food Packaging; and Specialty Resins and Compounds. Representative product lines in each group are listed below:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEALTHCARE PACKAGING, CONSUMER PACKAGING FOOD PACKAGING SPECIALTY RESINS PRODUCTS, AND MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS AND COMPOUNDS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pharmaceutical packaging Precision tubing and Foamed egg cartons Specialty PVC resins gaskets Medical tubing Garden and irrigation Poultry and meat Recycled PET resins hose products processor trays Medical device materials Pool hose products Agricultural foam General purpose PVC packaging compounds - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 3 This end market and product line diversity has the effect of reducing Tekni-Plex's overall risk related to any one product line or customer. For fiscal year 1999, Tekni-Plex's largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., accounted for approximately 11% of sales, with no other individual customer accounting for 10% or more of sales. The Company purchases raw materials from several sources that differ for each product line. This diversity of raw material suppliers, as well as the availability of alternative suppliers, has the effect of reducing Tekni-Plex's overall risk related to any one supplier. The single exception is a key raw material used in manufacturing the Company's clear, laminated PCTFE blister packaging materials. Allied Signal is currently the sole manufacturer and supplier of this proprietary raw material. There is no long-term supply contract with Allied Signal and any interruption in the supply of this material could disrupt production of the Company's clear, laminated blister packaging materials. To the extent that the Company's supply of this raw material is hindered, the Company would substitute coated or foil-based products. There has never been a significant disruption of the supply of this PCTFE material in the Company's 30 years of manufacturing this product line. The Company in the past has generally been able to pass on raw material price increases to customers on a relatively timely basis. The exception has been garden hose products, the prices for which are typically set in advance of each season. Raw material cost increases or decreases for garden hose products generally are not passed through during that season. The following sections provide further information regarding the four business groups, including descriptions of the major product lines within each group. Segment financial information for these groups is contained in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements." HEALTHCARE PACKAGING, PRODUCTS, AND MATERIALS Pharmaceutical Packaging The Company's pharmaceutical packaging product line includes flexible, semi-rigid, and rigid packaging films, coated films, co-extrusions, and laminations. The Company believes that it is a market leader for clear, high-barrier laminations for pharmaceutical blister packaging. These packaging materials are used for fast-acting pharmaceuticals that are generally highly reactive to moisture. Transparent, high-barrier blister packaging is primarily used to protect drugs from moisture vapor infiltration or desiccation. Blister packaging is the preferred packaging form when dispenser handling can affect shelf life or drug efficacy, or when unit dose packaging is needed. Unit dose packaging is being used to improve patient compliance with regard to dosage regimen, and has been identified as the packaging form of choice in addressing child safety aspects of drug packaging. The advantages of transparent blisters, as opposed to opaque foil-based materials manufactured by various competitors, include the ability to visually inspect the contents of the blister and to present the product with maximum confidence. The Company believes the flexible and semi-rigid packaging segment of the pharmaceutical packaging industry is growing at a faster rate than the non-plastics segments because of the generally lower package cost and broader range of functional characteristics of plastic packaging. As a result, the technologies used to manufacture plastic packaging materials continue to develop at a faster pace than those used in the more mature paper, glass, and metal products. From an environmental viewpoint, the flexible and semi-rigid segment leads the packaging industry in source reduction efforts. The term "source reduction" refers to the concept of accomplishing requisite packaging functions with a minimum of packaging materials. By using less material to perform the packaging function, the environmental impact is reduced: greater conservation of the Earth's resources, lower energy usage in both the production of packaging materials and product distribution costs, and fewer disposal issues. The Company believes that the resulting growth in the flexible and semi-rigid product line has come at the expense of the more mature non-plastic packaging materials. The Company's high-barrier, blister laminations are sold to major pharmaceutical companies (or their designated contract packagers). The Company has begun to market its full pharmaceutical product line directly on a 3 4 worldwide basis, has assembled a global network of sales and marketing personnel, and has established manufacturing liaisons in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the Philippines. In the clear pharmaceutical blister films market, Tekni-Plex has two principal competitors worldwide that have resources equal to or greater than those of the Company. However, the Company believes that neither of these competitors has the breadth of product offering to match that of the Company, and that this differentiation is significant as viewed by the pharmaceutical industry. Also, the high manufacturing and audit compliance standards imposed by the pharmaceutical companies on their suppliers provide a significant barrier to the entry of new competitors. Entry barriers also arise due to the lengthy and stringent approval process required by the FDA. Since approval requires that the drug be tested while packaged in the same packaging materials intended for commercial use, changing materials after approval risks renewed scrutiny by the FDA. The packaging materials for pharmaceutical applications also require special documentation of material sources and uses within the manufacturing process as well as heightened quality assurance measures. Tekni-Plex is also a leading producer of sophisticated extruded, co-extruded, and laminated cap-liners and seals, known as closure liners, for glass and plastic bottles. These products are sold primarily to packagers of pharmaceutical, health care, and food products. There are three other principal competitors in the United States, and several smaller companies having substantially smaller market shares. However, as a result of the acquisition of Tri-Seal, Tekni-Plex believes that it offers the widest range of liner materials in the industry. Medical Tubing Tekni-Plex is a leading supplier of medical tubing to the non-captive market in North America and Europe. Tekni-Plex specializes in high-quality, close tolerance tubing for various surgical procedures and related medical applications. These applications include intravenous ("IV") therapy, hemodialysis therapy, cardio-vascular procedures such as coronary bypass surgery, suction and aspiration products, and urinary drainage and catheter products. Medical tubing is sold primarily to manufacturers of medical devices that are packaged specifically for such procedures and applications. Products are sold through direct salespeople. The Company manufactures medical tubing using proprietary plastic extrusion processes. The primary raw materials are proprietary compounds, which are produced by the Company. The industry is fragmented with no single competitor having a dominant market share. However, as a result of its Natvar acquisition, the Company believes that it is the largest non-captive supplier of disposable medical tubing in North America. New medical tubing products developed by the Company include microbore tubing and silicone substitute formulations. Microbore tubing can be used to regulate the delivery of critical intravenous fluids without the need for more expensive drip control devices. Medical professionals can precisely control the drug delivery speed simply by selecting the proper (color-coded) diameter tube, thereby improving accuracy and reducing cost. More importantly, as home healthcare trends continue, the use of microbore tubing will help eliminate critical dosage errors on the part of the non-professional caregiver or the patient. Medical Device Materials The Company believes that it is the leading non-captive producer of high-quality vinyl compounds for use in the medical industry. These medical-grade materials are sold to leading manufacturers of medical devices and equipment. They are also sold to producers of tubing and, to some extent, to producers of closures for the food and beverage industry. The Company sells these compounds in worldwide markets. Products are sold directly through the Company's salespeople. The market for medical-grade vinyl compounds is highly specialized, with three significant competitors. For more than 30 years, the Company has been supplying these specialized vinyl compounds for FDA-regulated applications. The Company believes it competes effectively based on product quality and performance and prompt delivery, and that price is a secondary consideration for its customers. The Company's chemists work closely with customers to develop compounds that address their specific requirements. Through this custom work, the Company has introduced a number of breakthroughs to the medical device industry by developing formulations with unique physical characteristics. For example, the Company has recently developed a new family of flexible vinyl compounds designed to replace silicone rubber in a variety of medical tubing and commercial applications. 4 5 CONSUMER PACKAGING AND PRODUCTS Precision Tubing and Gaskets Tekni-Plex's precision tubing and gaskets product line is sold primarily to manufacturers of aerosol valves, dispenser pumps, and writing instruments. These products are sold throughout the United States and Europe, as well as selected worldwide markets. Sales are made through the Company's direct sales force. The Company believes that it is the leading precision tubing extruder in North America and is the leading supplier of aerosol valve and dispenser pump gaskets worldwide. Sales to the aerosol valve and dispenser pump industries consist primarily of dip tubes, which transmit the contents of a dispenser can to the nozzle, and specialized molded or punched rubber-based valve gaskets that serve to control the release of the product from the container. Writing instrument products include pen barrels and ink tubing as well as ink reservoirs for felt-tip pens. Tekni-Plex is the single-source supplier to much of the industry. The principal competitive pressure in this product line is the possibility of customers switching to internal production, or vertical integration. To counteract this possibility, the Company focuses on product quality, cost reduction, prompt delivery, technical service and innovation. The precision tubing products are manufactured at extremely high speeds while holding to precise tolerances. The process enhancements that allow simultaneous high speed and precision are proprietary to the Company. The precision gasket products, which the Company has manufactured for over fifty years, are produced using proprietary formulations. These formulations are designed to provide consistent functional performance throughout the entire shelf life of the product by incorporating chemical resistance characteristics appropriate to the fluid being packaged. For example, the Company has developed unique formulations that virtually eliminate contamination of the products packaged in spray dispensers. This has greatly expanded the use of these dispensers for personal hygiene products, foods, and fragrances. The Company has also developed proprietary methods for achieving extremely accurate thickness control, superior surface finish, and the elimination of internal imperfections prevalent in other processing methods. Garden and Irrigation Hose Products Tekni-Plex believes that it is the leading producer of garden hose in the United States. The Company has produced garden hose products for fifty years, and produces its primary components internally, including proprietary material formulations and brass couplings. There are two other principal competitors in the United States, and several smaller companies having substantially smaller market shares. Garden hose products are sold primarily to home centers, hardware cooperatives, food, automotive, drug and mass merchandising chains and catalog companies throughout the United States and Canada. Customers include some of the fastest growing and most widely respected retail chains in North America. The Company's market strategy is to provide a complete line of innovative, high-quality products along with superior customer service. Innovations have included the patented Colorite(R) Evenflow(R) design and the "drinking water safe" product lines that utilize medical-grade plastics. Tekni-Plex also manufactures specialty hose products such as air hose and irrigator "soaker hose". The garden hose business is highly seasonal with approximately 75% of sales occurring in the spring and early summer months. This seasonality tends to have an impact on the Company's financial results from quarter to quarter. Products are sold primarily through the Company's direct salespeople and also through independent representatives. Both private label and brand-name products are sold to the retail market. FOOD PACKAGING The Food Packaging group produces primarily thermoformed foam polystyrene packaging products such as egg cartons and processor trays that are sold to the poultry and meat industries. The Company believes that it is 5 6 the leading manufacturer of foam egg cartons in the United States. The Company is also a leading supplier of processor trays to the poultry industry. Thermoformed foam polystyrene packaging has been the material of choice for food packaging cartons and trays for many years. In terms of economic and functional characteristics, foamed polystyrene products offer a combination of high strength, minimum material content and superior moisture barrier performance. Foamed polystyrene products also offer greater dimensional consistency that enhances the high speed mechanical feeding of cartons and trays into automated package filling operations. The Company's customer base includes most of the domestic egg packagers (including those owned by egg retailers) and many prominent poultry processors. The Company believes it competes effectively based on product quality and performance and prompt delivery. Within the polystyrene foam processor tray market, the Company competes principally with two large competitors, both of which have significantly greater financial resources than the Company and who, together, control the largest share of this market. In the egg packaging market, the Company's primary competitor manufactures pulp-based egg cartons. SPECIALTY RESINS AND COMPOUNDS Specialty Vinyl Resins Tekni-Plex manufactures specialty vinyl resins, with an annual production capacity of 110 million pounds. The Company employs specialized technology to produce dispersion, blending, and copolymer suspension resins for a variety of industries, including floor covering, automotive sealants and adhesives, coil coatings, plastisol compounding and PVC packaging. The Company competes with a number of large chemical companies who offer a greater breadth of products. However, the Company believes that it has built a relatively unique position in the specialty resins market by offering customized products for niche markets that the larger commodity producers do not serve. The business strategy is built on individual customer service and the highest standards of quality. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS The Company seeks to protect its proprietary know-how through the application of patent and trademark laws. However, in the opinion of management, none of its patents or trademarks are material to its operations. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company employs certain professionals who, along with other responsibilities, are engaged in research relating to the development of new products and to the improvement of existing products and processes. The Company works closely with certain clients to develop and improve certain products and product lines. Much of this product development is either funded by clients or its cost is absorbed in the Company's manufacturing cost of sales, and therefore is not reflected as research and development expense. EMPLOYEES As of July 2, 1999, the Company employed approximately 2,950 full-time employees. Approximately 28% of all employees are represented by various collective bargaining agreements that expire between September 30, 1999 and July 31, 2001. The Company believes it has good relations with its employees. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The Company's operations are subject to federal and state environmental regulations in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any environmental proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Additionally, in management's opinion, no such 6 7 proceedings nor compliance with Federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations are believed to require any material estimated capital expenditures for environmental control facilities in the foreseeable future. Item 2. PROPERTIES The Company believes that its facilities are suitable and have sufficient productive capacity for its current and foreseeable operational and administrative needs.

(a) EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted financial indicator of the Company's ability to incur and service debt. However, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for net income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of a company's profitability or liquidity. In addition, this measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. EBITDA margin is calculated as the ratio of EBITDA to net sales for the period. For fiscal 1996, amortization included $522 related to the write off of prior unamortized debt costs. (b) Extraordinary loss is comprised of (i) a prepayment penalty of $1.2 million and the write-off of deferred financing costs and debt discount of $3.4 million, net of the combined tax benefit of $1.8 million, and (ii) a loss of $17.8 million on the repurchase of redeemable warrants. 9 10 Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 2, 1999 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED JULY 3, 1998 Net Sales increased to $489.2 million for the year ended July 2, 1999 from $309.6 million for the year ended July 3, 1998. This represents an increase of $179.6 million or 58.0%. The increased sales are primarily attributable to the acquisition of PureTec in March 1998, and to a lesser extent the acquisition of Tri-Seal International in January 1999 and Natvar in April 1999. The year-over-year change related to the impact of these acquisitions amounted to $184.4 million. This increase was partially offset by the elimination in fiscal 1999 of certain low-margin sales related to the restructuring of acquired operations. The level of growth for the year ended July 2, 1999 may not be indicative of future operations. Cost of Goods Sold increased to $358.3 million for the year ended July 2, 1999, of which $121.3 million was due to the acquired operations discussed above, from $232.5 million for the year ended July 3, 1998. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 73.2% for the year ended July 2, 1999 from 75.1% for the same period in 1998. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to efficiencies achieved in operations acquired with the purchase of PureTec, and lower raw material costs. Gross Profit as a result, increased to $130.9 million or 26.8% of net sales for the year ended July 2, 1999, from $77.1 million or 24.9% of net sales for the same period in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $62.5 million or 12.8% of net sales for the year ended July 2, 1999 from $39.2 million or 12.7% of net sales for the same period in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in proportion to the increase in net sales resulting from acquired operations and related compensation increases. Operating profit increased to $68.4 million or 14.0% of net sales for the year ended July 2, 1999, from $37.9 million or 12.2% for the same period in 1998, for the reasons discussed above. Interest expense increased to $39.0 million or 8.0% of net sales for the year ended July 2, 1999, from $19.7 million or 6.4% of net sales for the same period in 1998 due primarily to an issuance of new bonds and notes to acquire PureTec. The Company also borrowed under its revolving line of credit in fiscal 1999 to fund the purchase of Tri-Seal and Natvar. Provision for income taxes increased to $14.2 million or 2.9% of net sales for the year ended July 2, 1999, from $9.1 million or 2.9% for the same period in 1998. The Company's effective tax rate was 48.5% for the year ended July 2, 1999 compared to 51.2% for the same period in 1998. The decrease between periods is due primarily to the use of tax carryover credits. Net income increased to $15.0 million or 3.1% of net sales for the year ended July 2, 1999, from $8.7 million or 2.8% of net sales for the same period in 1998, for the reasons discussed above. 10 11 FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 3, 1998 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 27, 1997 Net Sales increased to $309.6 million for the year ended July 3, 1998 from $144.7 million for the year ended June 27, 1997. This represents an increase of $164.9 million or 114.0%. The increased sales are primarily attributable to the acquisition of PureTec in March 1998, which amounted to $154.1 million, and to a lesser extent the increased demand for the Company's healthcare packaging products. The level of growth for the year ended July 3, 1998 may not be indicative of future operations. Cost of Goods Sold increased to $232.5 million for the year ended July 3, 1998, of which PureTec operations accounted for $118.4 million of the increase, from $107.0 million for the year ended June 27, 1997. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased to 75.1% for the year ended July 3, 1998 from 73.9% for the same period in 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. This level of increase in costs and increase as a percent of sales may not be indicative of future operations. Gross Profit as a result, increased to $77.1 million or 24.9% of net sales for the year ended July 3, 1998, from $37.7 million or 26.1% of net sales for the same period in 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $39.2 million or 12.7% of net sales for the year ended July 3, 1998 from $15.9 million or 11.0% of net sales for the same period in 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales due primarily to the acquisition of PureTec and related compensation increases, 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 $37.9 million or 12.2% of net sales for the year ended July 3, 1998, from $21.8 million or 15.1% for the same period in 1997, for the reasons stated above. Interest expense increased to $19.7 million or 6.4% of net sales for the year ended July 3, 1998, from $8.1 million or 5.6% of net sales for the same period in 1997 due primarily to an issuance of new bonds and notes to acquire PureTec. Provision for income taxes increased to $9.1 million or 2.9% of net sales for the year ended July 3, 1998, from $4.7 million or 3.2% for the same period in 1997. The Company's effective tax rate was 51% for the year ended July 3, 1998 compared to 36% for the same period in 1997. The increase between periods is due primarily to non-deductible amortization. Net income before extraordinary loss increased to $8.7 million or 2.8% of net sales for the year ended July 3, 1998, from $8.4 million or 5.8% of net sales for the same period in 1997, for the reasons discussed above. 11 12 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the year ended July 2, 1999, net cash provided by operating activities was $38.8 million compared to $29.0 million for the same period in 1998. This was due primarily to the acquisition of PureTec and to increased earnings in 1999. Working capital at July 2, 1999 was $101.4 million compared to $84.9 million at the same period in 1998. The increase in working capital was due primarily to the acquisition of PureTec and to increased earnings in 1999. As of July 2, 1999, the Company had an outstanding balance of $22.0 million under the $90 million revolving credit line of the existing credit facility. The proceeds were used primarily to fund the purchase of assets from Tri-Seal International, Inc. and High Voltage Engineering Corporation. At July 3, 1998, there were no outstanding balances under this revolving credit line. The Company's capital expenditures for the year ended July 2, 1999 and July 3, 1998 were $13.0 million and $7.3 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. INFLATION During the past fiscal year the Company's operations have benefited from relatively stable or declining prices for raw materials. In the event significant inflationary trends were to resume, management believes that the Company will generally be able to offset the effects thereof through continuing improvements in operating efficiencies and increasing prices, to the extent permitted by competitive factors. However, there can be no assurance that all such cost increases can be passed through to customers. 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 has evaluated the potential impact and remediation costs of Year 2000 issues. 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 fabrication 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 will be disrupted by the Year 2000 issues. 12 13 Support Systems: The Company believes that it has identified the major computers, software applications, and other equipment utilized by support systems, primarily the accounting systems, that must be 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 as part of the Company's normal integration strategy. As a result, additional costs that will be incurred solely due to Year 2000 issues are difficult to isolate. Nonetheless, the Company estimates such additional costs will be less than $250,000 in the aggregate. 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 has contacted its suppliers to identify any potential disruption in the supply of raw materials. As a result, 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 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 believes that it is taking adequate steps to address all significant internal Year 2000 issues that could adversely affect its business operations. Of course, it is not 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. Item 7A.

Their duties are to recommend to the Board of Directors excluding the Chief Executive Officer, salary changes and bonus awards for the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee and the Chief Executive Officer together recommend salary changes and bonus awards for the Chief Operating Officer. The Board of Directors then votes on the recommendations (excluding the Chief Executive Officer in the case of his own compensation) with a simple majority required for approvals. The bonus awards for fiscal 1999 for Dr. Smith and Mr. Baker were based upon their respective employment contracts as amended in March of 1998, and are performance based. Compensation levels and bonus awards for all other employees are controlled by Dr. Smith and Mr. Baker. In fiscal 1999, Dr. Smith recommended, and the Board approved, stock options to four employees under a stock option plan approved by the Board of Directors effective December 31, 1997. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION Mr. Witt, who is also the corporate Secretary of Tekni-Plex, serves as a member of the compensation committee of Tekni-Plex's board of directors. In addition, as Chief Executive Officer of Tekni-Plex, Dr. Smith participated in deliberations concerning the compensation of the Chief Operating Officer of Tekni-Plex (but not the compensation for himself or Mr. Witt). 16 17 SECURITY OWNERSHIP Tekni-Plex Partnership owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Tekni-Plex and 92.625% of Tekni-Plex on a fully diluted basis. Tekni-Plex Partnership has one general partner and six limited partners. Messrs. McWethy, Solomon and Tuttle are affiliated with the general partner of Tekni-Plex Partnership which owns an aggregate interest in the net profits of Tekni-Plex Partnership equal to approximately 55% and Dr. Smith owns an interest in the net profits of Tekni-Plex Partnership equal to approximately 18%, in each case, subject to certain conditions contained in Tekni-Plex Partnership's agreement of limited partnership. In 1994, Kenneth W.R. Baker was granted options on 2.5% of Tekni-Plex's common stock, with anti-dilution provisions. Mr. Baker's option has a term of fifteen years from the date of the grant. The option terminates immediately upon Mr. Baker's termination for cause from Tekni-Plex. If Mr. Baker for any other reason ceases to be employed by Tekni-Plex or is terminated by reason of a disability, the option may be exercised for a period of six months following Mr. Baker's cessation of employment. The option may be exercised by Mr. Baker's estate for a year following Mr. Baker's death. In April, 1997, Tekni-Plex, Tekni-Plex Partnership and Dr. F. Patrick Smith entered into an agreement pursuant to which: (i) so long as Tekni-Plex Partnership continues, Dr. Smith has an option to acquire an interest in Tekni-Plex Partnership representing up to 1.4% of the outstanding equity interest in Tekni-Plex Partnership; and (ii) if Tekni-Plex Partnership has been dissolved, Dr. Smith has an option to acquire shares of common stock of Tekni-Plex representing up to 1.4% (less any options exercised pursuant to clause (i) above) of the outstanding common stock. These options have a term of five years from the date of the grant. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS Tekni-Plex has a management consulting agreement with MST Management Company and MST/TP Holding, Inc., both of whom are affiliated with Tekni-Plex's controlling shareholder. Pursuant to their respective agreements, MST Management Company and MST/TP Holding, Inc. provide regular and customary management consulting services to Tekni-Plex. The terms of each agreement require Tekni-Plex to pay a monthly management fee to MST Management Company and MST/TP Holding, Inc. for a period of ten years from March 18, 1994. Consulting service fees were in the aggregate approximately $400,000 for fiscal year 1999. The Company's policy is not to enter into any significant transaction with an affiliate of the Company unless a majority of the disinterested directors of the board of directors of the Company determines, in such majority's sole discretion (making such assumptions and determinations of fact as such majority sees fit), that the terms of such transaction are, in all material respects or taken as a whole, at least as favorable as the terms that could be obtained by the Company in a comparable transaction made on an arm's-length basis between unaffiliated parties. Tekni-Plex has an arrangement with Arthur P. Witt, a director and Secretary of Tekni-Plex, whereby Mr. Witt provides customary management consulting services to Tekni-Plex. Compensation to Mr. Witt for consulting services rendered on behalf of Tekni-Plex was approximately $95,000 for fiscal year 1999. 17 18 PART IV Item 14.

F-2 21 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors Tekni-Plex, Inc. Somerville, New Jersey We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tekni-Plex, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company") as of July 2, 1999 and July 3, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 2, 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tekni-Plex, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of July 2, 1999 and July 3, 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 2, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. F-8 27 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SUMMARY OF Nature of Business ACCOUNTING POLICIES Tekni-Plex, Inc. is a global, diversified manufacturer of packaging, products, and materials for the healthcare, consumer, and food packaging 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 four primary business groups: Healthcare Packaging, Products, and Materials; Consumer Packaging and Products; Food Packaging; and Specialty Resins and Compounds. Consolidation Policy The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Tekni-Plex, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average) or market. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible Assets The Company amortizes the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired on a straight-line basis over 15 years, and the cost of acquiring certain patents and trademarks, over seventeen and ten years, respectively. Recoverability is evaluated periodically based on the expected undiscounted net cash flows of the related businesses. Deferred Financing Costs The Company amortizes the deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the Company's borrowings over the life of the related indebtedness (5-10 years). F-9 28 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities based upon statutory rates enacted for future periods. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when goods are shipped to customers. The Company provides for returned goods and volume rebates on an estimated basis. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Fiscal Year-End The Company utilizes a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to June 30. The year ended July 3, 1998 contained 53 weeks, the years ended July 2, 1999 and June 27, 1997 contained 52 weeks each. Reclassifications Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Significant Risks and Uncertainties The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-10 29 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates and related translation adjustments are reported as a component of stockholders' equity. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates during the period. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as goodwill and property and equipment, are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When such impairments exist, the related assets will be written down to fair value. No impairment losses have been recorded through July 2, 1999. Stock Based Compensation The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which allows the Company to apply APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options and present pro forma effects of the fair value of such options. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," was issued. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for the Company's 2001 fiscal year. SFAS 133 is not applicable to the Company since the client does not currently have hedging activities. 2. ACQUISITIONS On April 24, 1999, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of High Voltage Engineering Corp. - Natvar Division ("Natvar"), for approximately $26,000. The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method and Natvar's operations have been reflected in the statement of operations since that date. As a result of the acquisition, goodwill of approximately $17,100 has been recorded, which is being amortized over 15 years. F-11 30 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On January 25, 1999, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Tri-Seal International, Inc. ("Tri-Seal") for approximately $21,000. The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method and Tri-Seal's operations have been reflected in the statement of operations since that date. As a result of the acquisition, goodwill of approximately $13,600 has been recorded, which is being amortized over 15 years. The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results of operations as though the acquisition of Tri-Seal and Natvar occurred on June 28, 1997:

On March 3, 1998, Tekni-Plex acquired PureTec Corporation ("PureTec"), a publicly traded company with annual sales of $315,000, for $312,000. PureTec is a leading manufacturer of plastic packaging, products, and materials primarily for the healthcare and consumer markets. PureTec is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tekni-Plex. This acquisition was financed by the issuance of $200,000 of Senior Subordinated Debt (Note 5(a)) and $115,000 of Senior Term Debt (Note 5(c)). The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method, whereby PureTec's net assets were recorded at their fair value and its operations have been reflected in the statement of operations since the acquisition date. As a result of the acquisition, goodwill of approximately $162,000 has been recorded, which is being amortized over 15 years. F-12 31 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In connection with the acquisition of PureTec, a reserve of $24,000 was established. The reserve was comprised of the costs to close or sell incompatible and duplicate facilities, terminate employees and provide for existing litigation. At July 2, 1999, approximately $8,400 was remaining in this reserve, which is included in accrued expenses. The remaining reserve is primarily to cover pre-existing litigation and lease costs of facilities to be closed which extend for the next four years. The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results of operations as though the acquisition of PureTec occurred on June 29, 1996:
YEAR ENDED Year ended JULY 3, 1998 June 27, 1997 ------------ ------------- Net sales $507,482 $460,070 Income from operations 45,858 40,703 Income before provision for income taxes 3,494 (3,938) ==============================================================================
Proforma adjustments were made to the related historical results to reflect changes in interest expense and goodwill amortization. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been in effect for the entire periods presented. In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any synergies that might be achieved from combined operations. 3.

F-14 33 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (a) In February 1998, the Company issued $200,000 of 9 1/4%, ten year Senior Subordinated Notes, the net proceeds of which were used in connection with the PureTec acquisition (Note 2). Interest is payable semi-annually. The notes are uncollateralized and rank equally to the $75,000 Senior Subordinated Notes discussed below and will be subordinate to all current and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The notes are callable by the Company after March 1, 2003 at a premium of 4 5/8%, which decreases to par after March 2006. Upon a change in control, the Company is required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the principal amount. These notes also contain various covenants including a limitation on future indebtedness; limitation of payments, including prohibiting the payment of dividends; and limitations on mergers, consolidations and sale of assets. (b) In April 1997, the Company issued $75,000 of 11 1/4% ten year notes. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually. These notes are uncollateralized and rank equally with the $200,000 Senior Subordinated Notes discussed above and will be subordinate to all current and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The notes are callable by the Company after April 1, 2002 at a premium which decreases to par after April 2005. These notes also contain various covenants and change in control similar to those provisions discussed above. The net proceeds of these bonds along with a capital contribution of $18,473 were used to repay the balance of $36,800 on a prior credit facility, repay prior subordinated notes of $25,200, including a prepayment penalty of $1,200 and repurchase all outstanding redeemable warrants for $20,000 with the balance being used for general corporate purposes. These transactions resulted in an extraordinary loss of approximately $20,666. The extraordinary loss was comprised of (i) the prepayment penalty of $1,200 and the write- off of deferred financing costs and debt discount of $3,449 net of the combined tax benefit of $1,757, and (ii) the loss on the repurchase of the warrants of $17,773 and has been reflected in the 1997 statements of operations. F-15 34 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (c) Senior Debt The Company has a Senior Debt agreement, which includes a $90,000 revolving credit agreement, and two term loans in the aggregate amount of $115,000. The proceeds of the term loans were used as part of the financing for the PureTec acquisition (Note 2). These loans are senior to all other indebtedness and are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. The debt agreement includes various covenants including a limitation on capital expenditures and compliance with customary financial ratios. At July 2, 1999, the Company is in compliance with these covenants. Revolving Credit Agreement Borrowings under the agreement may be used for general corporate purposes and at July 2, 1999, $68,000 is available for borrowing. Interest, at the Company's option, is charged at the Prime Rate, plus the Applicable Base Rate (initially 1.25%) or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as defined, plus the Applicable Euro-Dollar Margin (initially 2.25%). The Applicable Base Rate and Applicable Euro-Dollar Margin can be reduced by up to 1.25% based on the maintenance of certain leverage ratios. At July 2, 1999, the rate charged is 8.75%. This agreement matures on March 31, 2004. Term Loan A Borrowings under this loan in the amount of $50,000, were used solely in connection with the acquisition of PureTec. Interest is payable quarterly at the same rates discussed above under the Revolving Credit Agreement, 7.125% at July 2, 1999. Principal is payable $625 quarterly, increasing to $5,000 at June 30, 2003 through the maturity date of March 31, 2004. F-16 35 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Term Loan B Borrowings under this loan in the amount of $65,000, were used solely in connection with the acquisition of PureTec. Interest is payable quarterly at the same rate discussed above, except the Applicable Base Rate is initially 1.75% and the Applicable Euro-Dollar Margin is initially 2.75%. The rate at July 2, 1999 is 7.625%. In addition, the Applicable Base Rate and Applicable Euro-Dollar Margin was reduced .5% based on the maintenance of certain leverage ratios. Principal is payable $162.5 quarterly, increasing to $7,150 on June 30, 2004 and to $8,125 on June 30, 2005 through the maturity date of March 31, 2006. (d) PureTec Senior Secured Notes In November 1993, PST, a subsidiary of PureTec, issued $125,000 11.25% Senior Secured Notes which were to mature in 2003. In connection with the acquisition of PureTec by the Company, $123,450 of these notes were redeemed. The balance of these notes were redeemed during 1999. Principal payments on long-term debt over the next five years and thereafter are as follows:
2000 $5,748 2001 7,021 2002 8,868 2003 17,319 2004 45,058 Thereafter 332,380 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $416,394 ===============================================================================

F-19 38 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The net long-term deferred tax assets have been subjected to a valuation allowance since management believes it is more likely than not that this portion of the net operating loss carryforward ("NOL") balance will not be realized as a result of the various limitations on their usage, discussed below. The domestic net operating losses are subject to matters discussed below and are subject to change due to the restructuring occurring at the subsidiary level, as well as adjustment for the timing of inclusion of expenses and losses in the federal returns as compared to amounts included for financial statement purposes. Net Operating Losses The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated tax return. The NOL carryforwards, as a result of the PureTec acquisition, involve complex issues of federal tax law and are subject to various limitations as follows: - $35,800 - Subject to IRC Section 382 change of ownership annual limitation of approximately $3,900; this includes $4,700 of losses incurred prior to 1992, which are subject to additional limitations; expire 2002-2010. - $19,500 - Subject to IRC Section 382 change of ownership annual limitation of approximately $3,100; expire 2001 - 2010. - $29,500 - Subject to IRC Section 382 change of ownership annual limitation of approximately $5,900; expires 2009. To the extent the amounts of NOL's reserved are subsequently recognized, they will cause changes in the goodwill arising from the transaction. In addition to the domestic NOL balances, the Company has incurred losses relating to a subsidiary, taxable in Northern Ireland. Fiscal 1998 and 1997 losses aggregated $1,818 which have no expiration date. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that this deferred tax asset will not be realized and has recorded a full valuation allowance on these amounts. F-20 39 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (a) Savings Plans i The Company maintains a discretionary 401(k) plan covering all eligible employees, excluding those employed by its Dolco Division ("Dolco") and PureTec, with at least one year of service. Contributions to the plan are determined annually by the Board of Directors. There were no contributions for years ended July 2, 1999, July 3, 1998 and June 27, 1997. ii The Company has a defined contribution profit sharing plan for the benefit of all employees having completed one year of service with Dolco. The Company contributes 3% of compensation for each participant and a matching contribution of up to 1% when an employee contributes 3% compensation. Contributions totaled approximately $727, $653 and $475 for the years ended July 2, 1999, July 3, 1998 and June 27, 1997, respectively. iii Additionally, the Company has a savings plan for all employees of three wholly-owned subsidiaries who are not covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The three subsidiaries are Plastic Specialties & Technology, Inc. ("PST"); Burlington Resins, Inc. ("Burlington"); and PTI Plastics, Inc. ("PTI"). Under the savings plan, the Company matches each eligible employees' contribution up to 3% of the employees' earnings. Such contribution amounted to approximately $362 for the year ended July 2, 1999 and $215 for the period March 3 through July 3, 1998. F-21 40 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) (b) Pension Plans i The Company maintains a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all non-collective bargaining unit employees of PST and Burlington, who have completed one year of service and are not participants in any other pension plan. The funding policy of the Company is to make contributions to the plan based on actuarial computations of the minimum required contribution for the plan year. On September 8, 1998, the Company approved a plan to freeze this defined benefit pension plan effective September 30, 1998, resulting in a curtailment gain of $576.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9% for the periods presented and the discount rate was 7 1/2% at July 2, 1999 and July 3, 1998. ii The Company's Burlington subsidiary has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all hourly compensated employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, who have completed one year of service. The funding policy of the Company is to make contributions to this plan based on actuarial computations of the minimum required contribution for the plan year. F-23 42 TEKNI-PLEX, INC.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9% for the periods presented and the discount rate was 7 1/2% at July 2, 1999 and July 3, 1998. iii The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of all employees having completed one year of service with Dolco. The Company's policy is to fund the minimum amounts required by applicable regulations. Dolco's Board of Directors approved a plan to freeze the pension plan on June 30, 1987, at which time benefits ceased to accrue. The Company has not been required to contribute to the plan since 1990. (c) Post-retirement Benefits In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company also sponsors the Burlington Retiree Welfare Plan, which provides certain healthcare benefits for retired employees of the Burlington division who were employed on an hourly basis, covered under a collective bargaining agreement and retired prior to July 31, 1997. Those employees and their families became eligible for these benefits after the employee completed five years of service, if retiring at age fifty-five, or at age sixty-five, the normal retirement age. Post retirement healthcare benefits paid for the year ended July 2, 1999 and for the period March 3 through July 3, 1998 amounted to $84 and $139, respectively. F-25 44 TEKNI-PLEX, INC.

F-26 45 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) The accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was determined using a 7 1/2% discount rate for the periods presented. The healthcare cost trend rate for medical benefits was assumed to be 6%, gradually declining until it reaches a constant annual rate of 5% in 2002. The healthcare cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. A 1% increase in healthcare trend rate would increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation by $239 and $214 and increase the service and interest components by $6 and $5 at July 2, 1999 and July 3, 1998. 8. RELATED PARTY The Company has a management consulting agreement TRANSACTIONS with an affiliate of a stockholder. The terms of the agreement require the Company to pay a fee of approximately $30 per month for a period of ten years. Consulting service fees were approximately $400, $400 and $390 for the years ending July 2, 1999, July 3, 1998 and June 27, 1997, respectively. 9. STOCK OPTIONS In April 1994, the Company granted options to an employee to acquire 2 1/2% of the outstanding common stock for $13.5 per share, with anti-dilution provisions. The options are exercisable as to 33 1/3% of the shares on the first, second and third anniversary dates of the original grant and expire fifteen years from the date of the grant. In January 1998, the Company adopted an incentive stock plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan"). Under the Stock Incentive Plan, 45.75206 shares are available for awards to employees of the Company. Options will be granted at fair market value on the date of grant. During 1999 and 1998, options were granted to purchase 7.32 and 28.37 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $222.4 and $154.5 per share, respectively. The options are subject to vesting provisions, as determined by the Board of Directors, at date of grant and expire 10 years from date of grant. F-27 46 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) In addition, an option to purchase 2.288 shares of common stock was granted to a member of the Board of Directors, in April 1998, at an exercise price of $154.5 per share. The options are subject to vesting provisions, as determined by the Board of Directors, at date of grant and expire 10 years from date of grant. At July 2, 1999, options for 30.12 shares are exercisable and no options have been exercised or forfeited as of July 2, 1999. The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for these options. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for these awards consistent with the method of SFAS Statement 123, the Company's net income would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below. The calculations were based on a risk free interest rate of 4.75%, 5.28% and 6 3/4% in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, expected volatility of zero, a dividend yield of zero and expected lives of 8 years.

F-28 47 TEKNI-PLEX, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) Rent expense, including escalation charges, amounted to approximately $3,756, $2,802 and $676 for the years ended July 2, 1999, July 3, 1998 and June 27, 1997, respectively. (b) The Company has employment contracts with two employees, which provide for minimum salaries of $1,800 and bonuses based on performance and expire in June 2002. Salaries and bonuses for the years ended July 2, 1999 and July 3, 1998 under these contracts were $1,800 and $13,471, and $1,157 and $7,608, respectively. These contracts provide aggregate minimum annual compensation of $1,800 for each of the fiscal years in the period ended 2002. Contingencies (a) In January 1993 and 1994, the Company's Belgian subsidiary received income tax assessments aggregating approximately $2,114 (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 $902 (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 are 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. F-29 48 TEKNI-PLEX, INC.

CONCENTRATIONS OF Financial instruments that potentially subject the CREDIT RISKS Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits and trade accounts receivable. The Company provides credit to customers on an unsecured basis after evaluating customer credit worthiness. Since the Company sells to a broad range of customers, concentrations of credit risk are limited. The Company provides an allowance for bad debts where there is a possibility for loss. The Company maintains demand deposits at several major banks throughout the United States. As part of its cash management process, the Company periodically reviews the credit standing of these banks. 12. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH (a) Cash Paid FLOW INFORMATION
