              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Planet Polymer Technologies,
Inc. (the "Company" or "Planet") have been prepared in accordance with the
interim reporting requirements of Form 10-QSB, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1997. For additional information, refer to the Company's
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996
contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1996.

2.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128").
SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of newly defined basic and diluted
earnings per share on the face of the income statement for all entities with
complex capital structures. The accounting standard is effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. The Company
does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 128 will have a material impact
on the computation of its earnings per share in future periods.

3.   Shareholders' Equity

On February 5, 1997, a previously granted incentive stock option to purchase
5,000 shares of Common Stock was terminated in accordance with its terms.

On February 6, 1997, a previously granted incentive stock option to purchase
5,000 shares of Common Stock was terminated in accordance with its terms.

On May 1, 1997, a previously granted incentive stock option to purchase 25,000
shares of Common Stock was terminated in accordance with its terms.

On April 11, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors granted incentive stock
options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50
per share to employees under the 1995 Stock Option Plan. These options were
fully vested as of the date of grant and expire on April 11, 2007. As of June
30, 1997, none of these options have been exercised.

On May 22, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors granted non-statutory stock
options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00
per share to an outside consultant of the Company. These options vest ratably
over the one-year term of the agreement and expire on May 22, 2007. In
connection with this transaction, the Company recorded a charge to income, for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, of approximately $704, based on the Black
Scholes option-pricing model. As of June 30, 1997, none of these options have
been exercised.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussions in this
report contain forward looking statements that involve certain risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in this report. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, the development of new products,
market acceptance of new products, general economic conditions and the
availability of additional financing, as well as those discussed in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 in "Item 1
Description of Business," including the section therein entitled "Risk Factors,"
and "Item 6 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."

Overview

Planet Polymer Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Planet") emerged from the
development stage as a result of its acquisition of Deltco of Wisconsin, Inc., a
Wisconsin corporation ("Deltco"), effective January 1, 1996. Prior to this
acquisition, substantially all of the Company's resources had been devoted to
the development and commercialization of its seven Enviroplastic technologies
and products.

Deltco is a manufacturer and reprocessor of thermoplastic scrap resins located
in Ashland, Wisconsin. The Company maintains Deltco as a wholly owned
subsidiary, and uses its plant, equipment and other physical property in the
manner in which it was used prior to the acquisition. The Company plans to
leverage its Enviroplastic technologies and sales and marketing expertise with
Deltco's manufacturing experience.

The Company is actively seeking to reduce costs such that general and
administrative and marketing expenses are not expected to increase in the next
three months. Notwithstanding the decrease in research and development expenses
experienced during the first six months of 1997, the Company expects that
research and development expenses may increase significantly in the future as
the Company's products are commercialized and continued efforts are focused on
Deltco's resins.

Planet has incurred operating losses since inception and had an accumulated
deficit at June 30, 1997 of approximately $7.6 million. The Company expects to
incur additional losses for the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations

The Company's revenues decreased from approximately $954,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 to approximately $933,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 and increased from approximately $1,649,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 to approximately $1,823,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1997. These were primarily attributable to increased sales volume at Deltco
offset by decreased research and development revenue at Planet. In addition,
Planet continued to focus on internally-funded, rather than customer-funded
product development. The Company will continue to participate in customer-funded
development when appropriate, but believes internally-funded development is
advantageous as to certain technologies and applications.

Results of Operations, Continued

Cost of sales increased from approximately $547,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 to approximately $613,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997
and from approximately $971,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to
approximately $1,236,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase
was primarily attributable to higher sales at Deltco at lower margins resulting
from increases in the cost of raw materials and increases in personnel costs.

General and administrative expenses increased from approximately $228,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 to approximately $291,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and decreased from approximately $1,160,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 to approximately $569,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. This was primarily attributable to a $592,000 one time,
non-cash compensation expense for the fair value of options granted to an
outside consultant during the three months ended March 31, 1996 which was
revised downward by approximately $114,000 during the three months ended June
30, 1996. The Company also incurred certain costs associated with the
acquisition of Deltco during 1996. In addition, the Company reduced the costs of
outside services and general and administrative staff as a result of various
cost reduction programs initiated by the Company during 1997.

Marketing expenses decreased from approximately $308,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 to approximately $8,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997 and from approximately $636,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to
approximately $194,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. These decreases
were primarily due to reductions in sales and marketing personnel, the reduction
of outside services and the reduction in international travel expenditures while
increasing marketing efforts in North America. In addition, during the three
months ended June 30, 1997 there was a downward revision of approximately
$63,000 to the December 31, 1996 estimated non-cash incentive compensation
expense for the fair value of stock granted to the president of Deltco.

Research and development expenses decreased from approximately $222,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 to approximately $135,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and from approximately $438,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 to approximately $260,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
These decreases were due primarily to lower research and development revenue at
Planet, the decreased use of outside resin processors and a reduction in pilot
plant operations staff offset by the addition of a scientist during the three
months ended June 30, 1996.

Deltco recently received a request for bid from its preferred supplier of scrap
plastic. Although the Company doesn't expect any change in Deltco's supply of
scrap plastic, such a change, if it occurs, could result in substantial
short-term increases in costs resulting from the selection of a replacement
supplier. Additional information can be found in the Company's Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, including sections therein entitled 
"Item 1 - Description of Business - Manufacturing and Suppliers" and " - Risk 
Factors - Availability of Raw Materials."

           ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

                        PLANET POLYMER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since its inception, Planet has financed its operations primarily through the
sale of equity securities and revenue from customer development agreements. The
Company has raised approximately $4 million (net of issuance costs) from the
private sale of Common Stock. In September 1995, the Company completed its
initial public offering in which it sold an aggregate of 1,150,000 shares of
Common Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $5.6 million. In January
1996, the Company used $1,125,000 in cash and issued 96,775 shares of restricted
Common Stock valued at approximately $508,000 to acquire Deltco in a purchase
transaction. In connection with the purchase, the Company now has one
outstanding debt agreement related to a Small Business Administration loan
collateralized by Deltco. As of June 30, 1997 the loan balance was approximately
$224,000. The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

The Company used approximately $308,000 for operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. Such funds were used for research and development activities,
marketing efforts and administrative support.

The Company used approximately $7,000 for investing activities for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. Such funds were used for the preparation and filing
of patents offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.

The Company used approximately $49,000 for the repayment of debt for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.

The Company believes that its existing sources of liquidity and anticipated
revenue, including revenues generated from Deltco, will satisfy the Company's
projected working capital and other cash requirements through at least December,
1997. There can be no assurance, however, that changes in the Company's plans or
other events affecting the Company's operating expenses will not result in the
expenditure of such resources before such time. The Company expects that it will
need to raise substantial additional funds to establish large-scale
manufacturing capabilities. The Company intends to seek additional funding from
existing and potential customers or through public or private equity or debt
financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available
on acceptable terms, or at all.
