NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
1. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts
of Liqui-Box Corporation (the "Company")
and its subsidiaries.
The information furnished reflects all adjustments (all of
which were of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the
consolidated financial position, results of operations,
and changes in cash flows on a consistent basis.
Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.
2. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
are presented in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q
and consequently do not include all the disclosures normally
required by generally accepted accounting principles or those
which are normally made in the Company's annual Form 10-K filing.
Reference should be made to the Company's aforementioned Form 10-K
for additional disclosures including a summary of the Company's
accounting policies, which have not significantly changed.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales in the First Quarter 1995 were lower than net
sales in the First Quarter 1994 by 1%. The decrease in
sales dollars is attributable to a decline in unit sales in
the majority of the CompanyOs product lines, partially
offset by increased selling prices to mitigate the effect of
increased raw material costs.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 26.9% in the
First Quarter 1995 and 32.8% in the First Quarter 1994. The
decrease in gross profit as a percent of sales can be
attributed to a minor shift in product mix, as well as the
costs associated with plant consolidations, higher
manufacturing costs at some plants and increases in raw
material costs partly offset by increased selling prices.
For the First Quarter of 1995, selling, administrative, and
development expenses were 15.2% of sales as compared to
17.6% in the First Quarter of 1994. The decrease reflects
the CompanyOs aggressive efforts to control its overhead
costs.
Income before taxes as a percentage of net sales was 11.7%
in the First Quarter 1995 and 15.2% in the First Quarter
1994. This decrease is a result of decreased gross profits
which have been partially offset, on a percentage basis, by
declining selling, administrative, and development expenses
for the First Quarter 1995.
The provision for income taxes was 40.1% of before tax
income for the First Quarter of 1995 and 41.5% for the First
Quarter 1994. The effective tax rate for the First Quarter
1995 is consistent with the overall rate for the year ended
December 31, 1994.
At the end of the First Quarter of 1995 and 1994, the
Company had no significant backlog of orders. Sales of the
CompanyOs products generally are closely coordinated with
the production of its customers. Typically orders are
filled within 30 days.
Total working capital was $34,130,000 at the end of the
First Quarter 1995 and $33,176,000 at year end 1994. The
ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.9 to 1
at the end of the First Quarter 1995 and 3.3 to 1 at year
end 1994. Cash provided by financing activities was
$783,000 for First Quarter 1995 compared to cash used of
$2,868,000 for First Quarter 1994. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $3,908,000 for First Quarter 1995
compared to $7,461,000 for First Quarter 1994.
The Company's major commitments for capital expenditures as
of April 1, 1995 were, as they have been in the past,
primarily for increased capacity at existing locations,
building filler machines for lease and tooling for new
projects. Funds required to fulfill these commitments will
be provided principally from operations with any additional
funding needed coming from an outstanding line of credit
with Huntington National Bank.
There have been no significant changes in capitalization
during the first three months of 1995, except for the
repurchase of treasury shares in the aggregate amount of
$757,000 which were acquired throughout the First Quarter
1995 for future corporate use. Funds for the repurchase of
treasury shares came from operating capital. The Company
has not entered into any significant financing arrangements
not reflected in the financial statements.
Management feels that inflation, in the form of increased
raw material prices, has had an ongoing and material effect
on the Company's operations during the First Quarter of 1995.
