REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE ADMINISTRATOR OF
PLYMOUTH RUBBER COMPANY RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND
PROFIT SHARING PLAN AND TRUST
Canton, Massachusetts 02021
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Plymouth Rubber Company Retirement Savings and Profit
Sharing Plan and Trust as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 aforementioned financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the
Plymouth Rubber Company Retirement Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in its net assets available
for plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental material is presented
for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations of the Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental
material has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken
as a whole.

1. General Information:
Effective January 1, 1998, Plymouth Rubber Company, Inc. (the Company), as
Plan sponsor, adopted the State Street Solutions Prototype Defined Contribution
Plan as its Plan. The Plan is a defined contribution profit-sharing plan for
the exclusive benefit of the employees of the Company and their beneficiaries,
enabling participants to save and invest in accordance with the terms of the
Plan. The Plan is established under provisions of Section 401(a) and 401(k)

At January 1, 1998, Employee Directed Funds were transferred from Plymouth
Rubber Company Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (F.K.A. Plymouth Rubber
Retirement Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust).
2. Administration

Trustees consist of designated Company directors and officers. The Plan's

trust by State Street Global Advisors. Expenses for recordkeeping and benefit
distributions of the Plan are paid by the Company.

continuous service and attainment of age 21.
An employee is eligible to receive a matching employer contribution
under the plan upon the completion of one year of continuous service
with a minimum of 1,000 hours of service and attainment of age 21.
4. Contributions
Each year, participants may contribute up to fifteen percent (15%) of
their annual before-tax compensation, as defined in the Plan Agreement.
Before-tax contributions are limited to the maximum 401(k) contribution
permitted by law. Contributions from the Company are discretionary and

Code.

A. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN: (Continued)
6. Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with his or her contribution, and an
allocation of both the Company's contribution and the current year's plan
earnings. Allocations are based upon each participant's qualified
compensation and account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a
participant is entitled is the vested portion of that participant's account.
7. Participant Loans
Participants may borrow amounts not to exceed the lesser of fifty percent
(50%) of the participant's vested account balance, or $50,000 reduced by the
highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding twelve (12) months.
Participants may take up to two loans in a calendar year, but may not have
more than one loan outstanding at a time. Repayment terms of the loans are
determined by each employee, but generally may not exceed sixty (60) months,
and must bear a reasonable rate of interest.
8. Payment of Benefits
Upon termination of service, due to death, disability or retirement, or
financial hardship, a participant may elect to receive an amount equal to the
value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account balance. If
the participant's account balance is in excess of certain limitations, the
participant may elect to have the Plan continue to administer their account
balance.
9. Plan Amendment and Termination
The Company intends to continue the Plan without interruption, but reserves
the right to terminate or amend the Plan. In the event that the Company
terminates the Plan, there shall be immediate and full vesting for all
participants.

B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
1. Method of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual-basis method
of accounting.
2. Investment Valuation
The value of investments, other than cash and equivalents, is based on the
closing price on December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, as received from
the State Street Bank & Trust Company.
Purchases and sales of investments are reflected on a trade-date basis. Gain
or loss on sales of investments is computed based upon the difference between
net sales price and ERISA Value.
Investments at year-end are reported at market value (ERISA Value). ERISA
Value for investments is determined by adjusting current year purchases or
prior year market value (ERISA Value) to market value at the end of the Plan
year. ERISA Value is then used as the basis for transactions for the
following year.
In accordance with the policy of stating investments at market value, net
unrealized gain or loss on investments for the year is reflected in the
Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.
3. Use of Estimates
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 December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Actual
results and amounts may differ from the estimates made in the preparation of
these financial statements.
