ITEM 1. BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION
We were founded as a Delaware corporation in 1967 to acquire the General
Felt Products division of Standard Packaging Corporation. At that time, we were
located in Brooklyn, NY, where we produced laminated closure (cap) liners
primarily for the pharmaceutical and food industries. Over the years, we have
built a reputation for solving difficult packaging problems and providing
customers with high quality, advanced packaging materials. In 1970, we built an
additional manufacturing facility in Somerville, New Jersey, diversifying into
the business of producing polystyrene foam trays for the poultry processing
industry.
In March 1994, Tekni-Plex was acquired by Dr. F. Patrick Smith and other
investors. Dr. Smith was elected Chief Executive Officer. In April 1994, Mr.
Kenneth W.R. Baker joined our company and was appointed Chief Operating Officer.
At that time, the principal product lines consisted of clear, high-barrier
laminations for pharmaceutical blister packaging (which we refer to as clear
blister packaging); closure liners, primarily for pharmaceutical end-uses; and
foam processor trays primarily for the poultry industry.
In December 1995, Tekni-Plex acquired the Flemington, NJ, plant and
business of Hargro Flexible Packaging Corporation. The Flemington plant utilized
lamination and coating technology to produce packaging materials primarily for
pharmaceutical products such as transdermal patches, sutures, iodine and alcohol
swabs, aspirin and other physician samples. We relocated the Brooklyn equipment
and business into the Flemington facility during 1996. The synergistic result of
having complementary technologies in one location created a combined operation
with considerably higher efficiencies and lower costs than the sum of the
stand-alone operations.
In February 1996, we expanded our food packaging business by completing our
acquisition of Dolco Packaging Corp., a publicly-traded $81 million foam
products company that 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. The
Dolco acquisition also solidified our position as a leading supplier of foam
processor trays. In August 1997, Dolco, which had been a wholly owned subsidiary
of Tekni-Plex, was merged into Tekni-Plex.
In July 1997, we acquired the business and operating facility of PurePlast
Inc. of Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. PurePlast produced calendered polyvinyl
chloride (vinyl) sheet primarily for food and electronics packaging
applications. Following the acquisition, we diversified the end markets served
by this location by developing proprietary formulations of vinyl sheet for
vertical integration into our clear blister packaging business and for sale
directly to our global pharmaceutical customers.
In March 1998, Tekni-Plex acquired PureTec Corporation, a publicly-traded
company with annual sales of $315 million. PureTec was a leading manufacturer of
plastic packaging, products, and materials primarily for the healthcare and
consumer markets. PureTec enjoyed leading market positions in its core products,
including garden and irrigation hose, precision tubing and gaskets primarily for
the aerosol packaging industry, vinyl medical tubing, and vinyl compounds for
the production of medical devices. PureTec is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Tekni-Plex.
In January 1999, we 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 and into
our closure liner business.
In April 1999, we acquired substantially all the assets of Natvar, a
producer of disposable medical tubing and electrical sheathing. As with
Tri-Seal, the Natvar acquisition was intended to strengthen our existing core
business and expand product offerings. The Natvar operation has been integrated
into our medical tubing and industrial extrusions businesses.
In June 2000, we completed a recapitalization of Tekni-Plex. As part of the
recapitalization, existing investors other than management sold most of their
interests, and a group of new investors contributed an aggregate of $167 million
in new equity and agreed to contribute up to $103 million in additional equity
over the next five years. All members of management maintained 100% of their
interests in the Company. Also,
1
Tekni-Plex entered into a new credit agreement, issued $275 million in new
senior subordinated notes, and repaid the debt that existed prior to the
recapitalization.
In October 2000, we acquired substantially all the assets of the Super
Plastics division of RCR International Inc. Super Plastics is primarily a
manufacturer of garden hose and has a manufacturing facility in Mississauga,
Ontario Canada. The Super Plastics operations have been integrated with and into
our garden hose business.
In October 2001, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the garden
hose business of Mark IV Industries, Inc. which operates under the name Swan
Hose. Swan, which has one manufacturing facility located in Bucyrus, Ohio,
enhanced Tekni-Plex's geographic coverage of the North American garden hose
market. The Swan operations have been integrated with and into our garden hose
business.
In July 2002 we acquired substantially all of the assets of Elm Packaging
Company. Elm produces polystyrene foam plates, bowls, and meat and bakery trays.
The Elm acquisition significantly increases our capacity to produce foamed
polystyrene products primarily for customers in the food packaging and
foodservice markets.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We are a global, diversified manufacturer of packaging, packaging products
and materials as well as tubing products. We primarily serve the food,
healthcare and consumer markets. We have built leadership positions in our core
markets, and focus on vertically integrated production of highly specialized
products. We have operations in the United States, Europe and Canada. We believe
that our end market and product line diversity has the effect of reducing
overall risk related to any single product or customer. Our operations are
aligned under two business segments: Packaging and Tubing Products. Products
that do not fit in either of these two segments, including recycled PET, vinyl
compounds and specialty resins have been reflected in Other. Representative
product lines in each of our business segments are listed below:

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
We believe that our competitive strengths include:
- Strong customer relationships. We have long-standing relationships with
many of our customers. We attribute our long-term customer relationships
to our ability to consistently manufacture high quality products and
provide a superior level of customer service. We routinely win customer
awards for our superior products and customer service and have recently
been recognized for supplier excellence by 3M Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer,
Eli Lilly, Boston Scientific, and Kraft Foods, among others.

- Experienced management team. Our management team has been successful in
selecting and integrating strategic acquisitions as well as improving
underlying business fundamentals. After significantly improving the
business of Tekni-Plex following our 1994 acquisition, management
successfully integrated both the Flemington and Dolco operations during
1996, the latter being a public company then nearly twice our size.
During the same period, our Brooklyn operation was successfully merged
into our Flemington plant. In 1997, we acquired and integrated the
PurePlast operations. In 1998, we acquired PureTec, a public company then
more than twice our size. In 1999, we acquired and integrated the assets
and business of Tri-Seal and Natvar. In 2000 we acquired and integrated
all of the assets of the Super Plastics division of RCR International,
Inc. In 2001, we acquired and integrated the Swan Hose business of Mark
IV Industries, Inc. In 2002 we acquired the assets and business of Elm
Packaging. Management has substantially improved the operating margins of
each of these acquisitions. Members of our management team have
integrated acquisitions, effected turnarounds, provided strategic
direction and leadership, increased sales and market share, improved
manufacturing efficiencies and productivity, and developed new
technologies to enhance the competitive strengths of the companies they
have managed.
- Cost efficient producer. We continually focus on improving underlying
operations and reducing costs. Since the 1994 acquisition, current
management has improved our cost structure from an EBITDA margin of 8.5%
with EBITDA of $3.8 million on sales of $44.9 million for the 12 months
ended December 31, 1993 to an EBITDA margin of 20.0% with EBITDA of
$115.6 million on sales of $577.7 million for the fiscal year ended June
28, 2002. Our acquisitions since 1995 have provided significant
opportunities to realize cost savings and synergies in the combined
businesses through the sharing of complementary technologies and
manufacturing techniques, as well as economies of scale, including the
purchase of raw materials.
- Producer of high quality, technically sophisticated products. We
believe, based upon our knowledge and experience in the industry, we have
a long-standing reputation as a manufacturer of high quality, high
performance products, materials and primary packaging (where the
packaging material comes into direct contact with the end product). Our
emphasis on quality is evidenced by our product lines which address the
more technically sophisticated areas of their respective markets.
- Strong equity sponsorship. We have obtained a strong equity commitment
from co-investors in conjunction with the recapitalization in June 2000.
New investors agreed to $269.6 million in aggregate equity commitments to
Tekni-Plex Partners, of which $167.0 million was contributed to
consummate the recapitalization in June 2000. Of the remaining $102.6
million, $85.0 million was contributed in conjunction with our
acquisitions of Super Plastics, Mark IV's Swan Division, and Elm
Packaging. The remaining $17.6 million is available at least through June
2005 to be used for our general corporate purposes, including
acquisitions. We believe that these equity commitments will provide us
with significant flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities
as they arise. In connection with the recapitalization, all members of
our current management maintained their entire equity investment, which
had an implied aggregate value, as of June 2000, of approximately $96.0
million.

BUSINESS STRATEGY
We seek to maximize our profitability and growth and take advantage of our
competitive strengths by pursuing the following business strategy:
- Ongoing cost reduction through technical process improvement. We have an
ongoing program to improve manufacturing and other processes in order to
drive down costs. Examples of cost improvement programs include:
- material and energy conservation through enhanced process controls and
advanced product design.
- reduction in machine set-up time through the use of proprietary
technology.
- continual product line rationalization; and
- development of backward and forward integration opportunities.
- Internal growth through product line extension and improvement. We
continually seek to improve and extend our product lines and leverage our
existing technological capabilities in order to increase market share in
existing markets, effectively penetrate new markets and improve
profitability. Our strategy is to emphasize our expertise in providing
packaging, products and materials with specific high performance
characteristics through the development of various unique proprietary
materials and proprietary manufacturing process techniques.
- Growth through acquisitions. We will continue to pursue acquisitions
selectively when the opportunity arises. Our objective is to pursue
acquisitions that provide us with the opportunity to gain economies of
scale and reduce costs through, among other things, technology sharing
and synergistic cost reduction.
- Growth through international expansion. We believe that there is
significant opportunity to expand our international sales, which
currently represent approximately 10.5% of our total revenues. At
present, we have manufacturing operations with attached sales offices in
Belgium, Italy, The United Kingdom, Canada and Argentina. We have a
regional sales office in Singapore covering southeast Asia, including the
People's Republic of China. In addition, we have manufacturing liaisons
and strategic supplier agreements in Japan, Germany and Italy and a
manufacturing licensee in Japan. We have recently added sales
representatives for Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirate as
well as in the Philippines and India to our existing representatives in
Australia/New Zealand, South Africa, Central America, Brazil, Mexico,
China (including Hong Kong) and Taiwan. We believe that our growing
international presence, which is a combination of our own regional
manufacturing and sales forces and independent sales representatives,
will continue to generate opportunities to increase our sales.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On July 10, 2002 Tekni-Plex acquired Elm Packaging Company for
approximately $16.4 million in cash. The acquisition was structured as an
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Elm by a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tekni-Plex. Elm produces polystyrene foam packaging products such
as plates, bowls, trays and hinged-lid containers for the food packaging and
foodservice industries. Elm will become part of Tekni-Plex's Packaging business
segment.
PACKAGING SEGMENT
The Packaging segment of our business had revenues of $234.7 million (40.6%
total revenues) for the year ended June 28, 2002. Further details of the major
markets served by this segment are given below:
FOAM EGG CARTONS
We believe that we are the leading manufacturer of egg cartons in the
United States. Thermoformed foam polystyrene packaging has been the material of
choice for food packaging cartons 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
4
also offer greater dimensional consistency that enhances the high speed
mechanical feeding of cartons into automated package filling operations. We sell
these products through our direct sales force.
In the egg packaging market, our primary competitor manufactures pulp-based
egg cartons. We believe that we compete effectively based on product quality,
performance and prompt delivery. Our customer base includes most of the domestic
egg packagers (including those owned by egg retailers).
PHARMACEUTICAL BLISTER FILMS
We believe that we are 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.
We believe 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.
Our high-barrier blister packaging is sold to major pharmaceutical
companies (or their designated contract packagers). We market our full
pharmaceutical product line directly on a worldwide basis, and have assembled a
global network of sales and marketing personnel on six continents.
In the clear blister packaging market, we have two principal competitors
worldwide with resources equal to or greater than ours. However, we believe that
neither of these competitors has the breadth of product offering to match ours,
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 pharmaceutical companies. 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.
POULTRY AND MEAT PROCESSOR TRAYS
Our processor tray operations produce thermoformed foam polystyrene poultry
and meat processor trays. We are a leading supplier of processor trays to the
poultry industry.
As with egg cartons, thermoformed foam polystyrene has been the material of
choice for processor trays for the same reasons noted above.
Within the polystyrene foam processor tray market, we compete principally
with one large competitor, who has significantly greater financial resources
than ours and who controls the largest share of this market.
CLOSURE LINERS
Tekni-Plex is also the leading producer of sophisticated extruded,
co-extruded and laminated cap-liners and seals, known as closure liners, for
glass and plastic bottles. Closure liners perfect the seal between a container
and its closure, for example, between a bottle and its cap. The liner material
has become an integral
5
part of the container/closure package. Without the gasketing effect of the
liner, most container/closure packages would not be secure enough to protect the
contents from contamination or loss of product efficacy.
We sell these products through our direct sales force primarily to
packagers of pharmaceutical, healthcare and food products. We have two principal
competitors in North America but also compete with several smaller companies
having substantially smaller market shares. However, as a result of the Tri-Seal
acquisition, we believe that we offer the widest range of liner materials in the
industry. We remain competitive by focusing on product quality, performance and
prompt delivery.
AEROSOL AND PUMP PACKAGING COMPONENTS
Our Aerosol and Pump Packaging Components business produces dip tubes,
which transmit the contents of the container to the nozzle, and specialized,
molded or punched rubber-based valve gaskets that serve to control the release
of the product from the container. The group also produces writing instrument
products including pen barrels and ink tubing as well as ink reservoirs for
felt-tip pens.
Sales are 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 our
direct sales force. We believe that we are the leading supplier of aerosol valve
and dispenser pump gaskets and dip tubes in the world.
Our dip tubes and pen barrels are manufactured at extremely high speeds
while holding to precise tolerances. The process enhancements that allow
simultaneous high speed and precision are proprietary to us. The precision
rubber gasket products, which we have 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, we have 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.
We are the single-source supplier to much of the industry. The principal
competitive pressure in this product line, particularly the dip tube portion, 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.
FOAM PLATES
Our foam plate operations produce thermoformed foam polystyrene disposable
plates, bowls, and hinged-lid containers as well as agricultural packaging
products. Our sales are primarily to the consumer, agricultural and foodservice
industries. We compete with numerous participants who use a variety of materials
including foam polystyrene, pulp-based products and various plastic materials.
TUBING PRODUCTS
The Tubing Products segment of our business had revenues of $235.5 million
(40.8% of total revenues) for the year ended June 28, 2002. Further details of
the major markets served by this segment are given below:
GARDEN AND IRRIGATION HOSE PRODUCTS
We believe that we are the leading producer of garden hose in North
America. We have produced garden hose products for over fifty years, and produce
its primary components internally, including proprietary material formulations
and brass couplings. Innovations have included the patented Colorite(R)
Evenflow(R) design and ultra high quality product lines that utilize
medical-grade plastics. We also manufacture specialty hose products such as air
hose and irrigator "soaker hose".
6
We sell these products primarily through our direct sales force and also
through independent representatives. Both private label and brand-name products
are sold to the retail market, primarily to home centers, hardware cooperatives,
food, automotive, drug and mass merchandising chains and catalog companies
throughout the United States and Canada. Our customers include some of the
fastest growing and the most widely respected retail chains in North America.
Our market strategy is to provide a complete line of innovative, high-quality
products along with superior customer service.
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.
MEDICAL TUBING
We believe we are the leading non-captive supplier of vinyl medical tubing
in North America and Europe. We manufacture medical tubing using proprietary
plastic extrusion processes. The primary raw materials are proprietary
compounds, which we produce. We specialize 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. New medical
tubing products we have developed 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 tubing is sold primarily to manufacturers of medical devices that
are packaged specifically for such procedures and applications. These products
are sold through our direct sales force. We remain competitive by focusing on
product quality, performance and prompt delivery.
ITEM 2. FACILITIES
The Company believes that its facilities are suitable for their purposes
and have sufficient productive capacity for its current and foreseeable
operational and administrative needs. Set forth below is a list and brief

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
We are regularly involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business, none of which are currently expected to have a material
adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition or results of operation.
Like similar companies, our facilities, operations and properties are
subject to foreign, federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations
relating to, among other things, emissions to air, discharges to water, the
generation, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous and
non-hazardous materials and wastes and the health and safety of employees. We
maintain a primary commitment to employee health and safety, and environmental
responsibility. Our intention and policy are to be at all times a responsible
corporate citizen.
Our management includes a Director of Environmental Affairs who is
responsible for compliance with all foreign, federal, state and local laws and
regulations relating to the environment, and health and safety. This director
performs internal auditing procedures and provides direction to all local
facility managers in the compliance areas. The Director of Environmental Affairs
and our President direct outside environmental counsel and outside environmental
consulting firms to ensure that regulations are properly interpreted and
reporting requirements are met.
We are also subject to environmental laws requiring the investigation and
cleanup of environmental contamination. Currently, we are remediating
contamination resulting from past industrial activity at three of our New Jersey
facilities which we acquired from PureTec in 1998. This remediation is being
conducted pursuant to the requirements of New Jersey's Industrial Site Recovery
Act which were triggered by the 1998 PureTec transaction. We believe that any
costs ultimately borne by us in connection with this remediation would not be
material.
Although we believe that, based on historical experience, the costs of
achieving and maintaining compliance with environmental laws and regulations are
unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
or results of operations, it is possible that we could incur significant fines,
penalties, capital costs or other liabilities associated with any confirmed
noncompliance or remediation of contamination or natural resource damage
liability at or related to any of our current or former facilities, the precise
nature of which we cannot now predict. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that
future environmental laws or regulations will not require substantial
expenditures by us or significant modifications of our operations.

(a) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, unrealized loss on
derivative contracts, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted
EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted financial indicator of
the Company's ability to incur and service debt. However, Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar
measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated
as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to net sales for the period.
10
(b) Net loss for the year ended June 30, 2000 includes an extraordinary loss of
approximately $35,374. The extraordinary loss is comprised of prepayment
penalties and other interest costs of $39,303, the write-off of deferred
financing costs of $16,696 and other fees of $1,325, net of a tax benefit of
$21,950.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 28, 2002 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 29, 2001
Net Sales, increased to $577.7 million for the year ended June 28, 2002
from $525.8 million for the year ended June 29, 2001, representing an increase
of $51.9 million or 9.9% due to the inclusion of sales generated by our Swan
acquisition which closed in October 2001. Our increased sales were tempered
somewhat by disappointing revenue in our garden hose business due to unusually
adverse weather conditions in the June quarter, particularly along the East
Coast, as well as continued softness in demand for our pharmaceutical blister
packaging products due to a slowdown in new drug introductions in the United
States.
Our Packaging Segment reported a 0.8% decline in Net Sales to $234.7
million in the fiscal year ended June 28, 2002 compared to $236.6 million in the
fiscal year ended June 29, 2001. The decline was the result of continued
softness in sales to healthcare customers due to the general slowdown in new
drug introductions by our pharmaceutical customers compared to recent historical
norms. Our Tubing Products Segment's Net Sales increased by $61.0 million or
35.0%, to $235.5 million from $174.5 million last year, primarily due to our
Swan acquisition. Net Sales for our other products declined to $107.6 million in
the current year from $114.7 million in the previous year primarily due to soft
demand for specialty resins.
Cost of Goods Sold, increased to $430.5 million for the year ended June 28,
2002 from $399.8 million for the year ended June 29, 2001. Expressed as a
percentage of Net Sales, Cost of Goods Sold decreased to 74.5% for the year
ended June 28, 2002 compared to 76.0% for the year ended June 29, 2001. The
decrease in Cost of Goods Sold as a percentage of Net Sales was due primarily to
lower raw material costs.
Gross Profit, as a result, increased to $147.3 million for the year ended
June 28, 2002 from $126.0 million for the year ended June 29, 2001. The ratio of
Gross Profit to Net Sales increased to 25.5% for the year ended June 28, 2002
from 24.0% for the year ended June 29, 2001.
11
Our Packaging Segment Gross Profit increased by $3.2 million to $67.0
million from $63.8 million in the fiscal year ending June 28, 2002 primarily due
to lower raw material costs and improved operating efficiencies. Measured as a
percentage of Net Sales our Packaging Segment Gross Profit increased to 28.5%
for the year ended June 28, 2002 from 27.0% for the year ended June 29, 2001.
Our Tubing Products Segment Gross Profit increased by $19.1 million to $65.2
million from $46.1 million in the fiscal year ending June 28, 2002 primarily due
to our Swan acquisition. Measured as a percentage of Net Sales our Tubing
Products Segment Gross Profit increased to 27.7% for the year ended June 28,
2002 from 26.4% for the year ended June 29, 2001. Gross Profit for our other
products declined to $15.1 million in the current fiscal year from $16.1 million
in the previous year. Measured as a percentage of Net Sales, other segment Gross
Profit increased to 14.1% in the current fiscal year from 14.0% in the previous
year
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses increased to $69.4 million for
the year ended June 28, 2002 from $61.0 million for the year ended June 29, 2001
primarily due to the inclusion of expenses associated with our Swan acquisition.
The resultant ratio to Net Sales increased to 12.0% for the year ended June 28,
2002 from 11.6% for the year ended June 29, 2001.
Operating Profit, as a result of the above, increased to $77.8 million or
13.5% of Net Sales for the year ended June 28, 2002 from $65.0 million or 12.4%
of Net Sales for the year ended June 29, 2001.
Our Packaging Segment Operating Profit increased by $4.0 million or 10.0%
to $43.9 million from $39.9 million last year, primarily due to lower raw
material costs and improved operating efficiencies. Measured as a percentage of
Net Sales, Packaging Segment Operating Profit improved to 18.7% in the year
ended June 28, 2002 compared to 16.8% in the previous year. Our Tubing Products
Segment Operating Profit increased by $13.8 million or 45.2% to $44.2 million
from $30.4 million in the year ended June 28, 2002, primarily due to our Swan
acquisition. Measured as a percentage of Net Sales, Tubing Products Segment
Operating Profit improved to 18.8% from 17.4% last year. Operating Profit for
our other products declined to $6.6 million in the current year from $7.3
million in the previous year. Measured as a percentage of Net Sales, other
segment Operating Profit declined to 6.2% in the current fiscal year from 6.4%
in the previous fiscal year.
Interest Expense, decreased to $70.9 million for the fiscal year ending
June 28, 2002 from $76.6 million for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2001
primarily due to lower average interest rates on our floating rate debt. The
unrealized loss on derivative obligations decreased to $7.8 million in the
current fiscal year compared to a loss of $13.9 million in the previous fiscal
year.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes increased to $5.7 million from a
benefit of ($7.1) due to improved earnings. The provision for the year ended
June 28, 2002 differs from the amount computed by applying the Federal statutory
rate, primarily due to non-deductible goodwill, $3.6 million and the effect of
state income taxes $1.4 million.
Net Income (loss), as a result, was a loss of ($6.6) million or (1.1%) of
net sales for the fiscal year ending June 28, 2002 compared to a loss of ($19.0)
million or (3.6%) of net sales for the year ending June 29, 2001.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense, increased to 39.9 million or 6.9% of
net sales for the fiscal year ending June 28, 2002 from $37.7 million or 7.2% of
net sales for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2001 due to our Swan acquisition.
YEAR ENDED JUNE 29, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30 2000
Net Sales, increased to $525.8 million for the year ended June 29, 2001
from $524.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2000, representing an increase
of $1.0 million or 0.2%.
Our Packaging Segment reported Net Sales of $236.6 million for the fiscal
year ending June 29, 2001 compared to $226.6 million for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 2000, a 4.4% increase. Net Sales increases to our food customers more
than offset weaker sales to our healthcare customers. Our Tubing Products
Segment reported a $3.1 million decline in Net Sales to $174.5 million in fiscal
2001 compared to $177.6 million in fiscal 2000 as a result of inventory
de-stocking by some of our customers. Net Sales for our other products declined
to $114.7 million in Fiscal 2001 from $120.6 million in the previous year
primarily due to soft demand for specialty resins.
12
Cost of Goods Sold, increased to $399.8 million for the year ended June 29,
2001 from $394.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2000. Expressed as a
percentage of Net Sales, Cost of Goods Sold increased to 76.0% for the year
ended June 29, 2001 compared to 75.2% for the year ended June 30, 2000. The
increase in Cost of Goods Sold as a percentage of Net Sales was due primarily to
raw material costs, which rose rapidly in the early part of the year before
trending down over the remainder of the year.
Gross Profit, as a result, fell to $126.0 million for the year ended June
29, 2001 from $130.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2000. The ratio of
Gross Profit to Net Sales decreased to 24.0% for the year ended June 29, 2001
from 24.8% for the year ended June 30, 2000.
Our Packaging Segment reported a $1.9 million decline in Gross Profit to
$63.8 million in fiscal 2001 compared to $65.7 million in fiscal 2000. Measured
as a percentage of Net Sales, Packaging Segment Gross Profit declined to 27.0%
in 2001 compared to 29.0% in 2000. Our Tubing Products Segment Gross Profit
declined slightly to $46.1 million in fiscal 2001 from $46.5 million in the
previous year. Measured as a percentage of Net Sales, Tubing Products Segment
Gross Profit improved to 26.4% in fiscal 2001 from 26.2% in fiscal 2000. Our
other segment Gross Profit declined to $16.1 million in fiscal 2001 from $18.2
million in the previous year. Measured as a percentage of Net Sales, Gross
Profit for our other products decreased to 14.0% in fiscal 2001 from 15.1% in
the previous fiscal year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, increased to $61.0 million
for the year ended June 29, 2001 from $58.3 million for the year ended June 30,
2000, an increase of $2.7 million or 4.6%. This increase reflects general cost
of living increases for our salaried personnel as well as the Selling, General
and Administrative expenses associated with our Super Plastics acquisition. The
resultant ratio to Net Sales increased to 11.6% for the year ended June 29, 2001
from 11.1% for the year ended June 30, 2000.
Operating Profit, as a result of the above, decreased to $65.0 million or
12.4% for the year ended June 29, 2001 from $72.0 million or 13.7% for the year
ended June 30, 2000.
Our Packaging Segment reported a $3.0 million decline in Operating Profit
to $39.9 million in fiscal 2001 compared to $42.9 million in fiscal 2000.
Measured as a percentage of Net Sales, Packaging Segment Operating Profit
declined to 16.8% in 2001 compared to 18.9% in 2000. Our Tubing Products Segment
Operating Profit declined to $30.4 million in fiscal 2001 from $32.4 million in
the previous year. Measured as a percentage of Net Sales, Tubing Products
Segment Operating Profit declined to 17.4% in fiscal 2001 from 18.2% in fiscal
2000. Operating Profit for our other products declined to $7.3 million in fiscal
2001 from $9.4 million in the previous year. Measured as a percentage of Net
Sales, other segment Operating Profit declined to 6.4% in fiscal 2001 from 7.8%
in the previous fiscal year.
Other Expenses, decreased to $0.6 million for the year ended June 29, 2001
from $4.7 million for the year ended June 29, 2000 primarily due to
non-recurring expenses associated with the recapitalization. The year ended June
30, 2000 included approximately $4.0 million of non-recurring expenses
associated with the recapitalization.
Interest Expense, increased to $76.6 million for the fiscal year ending
June 29, 2001 from $38.4 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000
primarily due to increased debt associated with the recapitalization. The
Company has also incurred an unrealized loss of $13.9 million from derivative
contracts for the year ended June 29, 2001. The Company had no similar gains or
losses for the year ended June 30, 2000.
The ratio of the provision (benefit) for income taxes to income (loss)
before income taxes was 27.1% for the year ended June 29, 2001 compared to 50.1%
for the year ending June 30, 2000. The decrease in the effective rate for the
year ended June 29, 2001 is due to non-deductible goodwill and other permanent
differences in foreign subsidiaries.
Net Income (loss), as a result, was a loss of ($19) million or (3.6%) of
net sales for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2001 compared to a loss of ($21.0)
million or (4.0%) of net sales after an extraordinary charge of ($35.4) million
for the year ending June 30, 2000.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense, increased to 37.7 million or 7.2% of
net sales for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2001 from $34.7 million or 6.6% of
net sales for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000 due to increased depreciation
and amortization expense primarily associated with our Super Plastics
acquisition.
13
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the year ended June 28, 2002, net cash provided by operating activities
was $7.9 million compared to ($3.3) million of cash used by operating activities
in the prior year. The $11.2 million increase was due primarily to improved
profitability as well as lower inventories before accounting for the impact of
our Swan acquisition. These improvements more than offset an increase in
accounts receivable in our Consumer Segment that accompanied a shift in the
buying patterns of this segment's customers. Various year-over-year changes in
operating assets, accrued expenses, and liabilities are generally due to
offsetting timing differences.
Working capital at June 28, 2002 was $216.9 million compared to $199.1
million at June 29, 2001 primarily due to our Swan acquisition.
As of June 28, 2002, we had an outstanding balance of $46.0 million under
our $100.0 million revolving credit line of our existing credit facility. This
was a decrease of $19.0 million from the $65.0 million outstanding balance as of
June 29, 2001. The decrease in revolver borrowings was primarily due to the
application of the proceeds from our $40 million senior subordinated notes
offering to pay down revolver borrowings. As of June 28, 2002 we had $28.2
million of cash compared to $44.6 million of cash as of June 29, 2001. Our cash
balance at the end of our 2002 fiscal year was positively impacted by the senior
subordinated notes offering we completed in May. The large cash balance at the
end of our 2001 fiscal year was primarily due to the $30 million equity capital
contribution that was made in June of 2001 to partially finance our Swan
acquisition.
As of June 28, 2002, we had $54.0 million undrawn and available under our
revolving credit facility to fund ongoing general corporate and working capital
requirements. In addition, as part of the recapitalization, our new equity
investors agreed to contribute to Tekni-Plex Partners $269.6 million in the
aggregate, of which $167.0 million was used to purchase interests of certain
previous Tekni-Plex investors. An additional $85.0 million was used to finance
acquisitions, including the acquisition of Elm Packaging which closed in July
2002. Tekni-Plex Management, the managing member of Tekni-Plex Partners, may for
at least five years from the recapitalization, call upon the remainder of the
commitment, $17.6 million, for our future use for general corporate purposes,
including acquisitions.
Apart from acquisitions, our principal uses of cash will be debt service,
capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Our capital expenditures
for the year ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001 were $24.7 million and $17.1
million, respectively. We expect that annual capital expenditures will increase
somewhat from historical levels during the next few years as we make
improvements in our recently acquired operations.
Concurrent with our recapitalization, Tekni-Plex entered into a series of
interest rate derivative transactions designed to protect us from rising
interest rates on our senior term debt facilities while enabling us to partially
benefit from falling interest rates. Since our recapitalization, LIBOR, the
benchmark interest rate for our senior term debt facilities, has declined.
Because we did not receive all of the benefit of falling interest rates, we
recorded an unrealized loss from derivative transactions of $7.8 million and
$13.9 million in fiscal years 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Management believes that cash generated from operations plus funds from our
existing credit facility will be sufficient to meet our expected debt service
requirements, planned capital expenditures and operating needs. However, we
cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available from operations or
borrowings under our credit facility to meet our anticipated cash needs. To the
extent we pursue future acquisitions, we may be required to obtain additional
financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such financing in
amounts and on terms acceptable to us.
Our Senior debt and our Senior Subordinated Notes include various
covenants, the most restrictive of which require a minimum consolidated EBITDA,
as defined in the debt agreement, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a
minimum leverage ratio. At June 28, 2002, we are in compliance with all
covenants.
14
At June 28, 2002, the Company's contractual obligations for borrowings are
as follows:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Preparing financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires
the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as
of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. The following paragraphs include a
discussion of some critical areas where estimates are required. You should also
review Note 1 to the financial statements for further discussion of significant
accounting policies.
The Company records revenue when products are shipped. Legal title and risk
of loss with respect to the products pass to customers at the point of shipment.
The Company provides an allowance for returned product and volume sales rebates
on an estimated basis.
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment based on the
undiscounted future cash flows of such assets. If a long-lived asset is
identified as impaired, the value of the asset will be reduced to its fair
value.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized FASB
Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase
method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141
also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from
goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS 141
applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for
purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. It also
requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that the Company reclassify the carrying
amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria in SFAS 141.
SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize
goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In
addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the
purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the
useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease
amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible
asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in
accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142. SFAS 142 is required to be applied in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and other
intangible assets recognized at that date, regardless of when those assets were
initially recognized. SFAS 142 requires the Company to complete a transitional
goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. The Company is
also required to reassess the useful lives of other intangible assets within the
first interim quarter after adoption of SFAS 142.
The Company's previous business combinations were accounted for using the
purchase method. As of June 28, 2002, the net carrying amount of goodwill for
acquisitions prior to July 1, 2001 is $164,100 and other intangible assets is
$600. Amortization expense during the period ended June 28, 2002 was $15,500
related to those acquisitions. The acquisition of the Swan garden hose division
of Mark IV Industries, Inc. was accounted for as a purchase. The acquisition
resulted in customer lists and goodwill of $3,900 and $38,200
15
respectively. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Swan goodwill is not being
amortized. Amortization of customer lists was approximately $600 for the year
ended June 28, 2002. Currently, the Company is assessing, but has not yet
determined how the adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 will impact its financial
position and results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144"). The new guidance
resolves significant implementation issues related to FASB Statement No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121, but it retains its
fundamental provisions. It also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidate a
subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. SFAS 144 retains the
requirement of SFAS 121 to recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying
amount of a long-lived asset within the scope of SFAS 144 is not recoverable
from its undiscounted cash flows and exceeds its fair value.
SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application
encouraged. The provisions of SFAS 144 generally are to be applied
prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS 144 will have
on its financial position and results of operations.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Restructuring
Costs. SFAS 146 applies to costs associated with an exit activity (including
restructuring) or with a disposal of long-lived assets. Those activities can
include eliminating or reducing product lines, terminating employees and
contracts and relocating plant facilities or personnel. Under SFAS 146, a
company will record a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity when that liability is incurred and can be measured at fair value. SFAS
146 will require a company to disclose information about its exit and disposal
activities, the related costs, and changes in those costs in the notes to the
interim and annual financial statements that include the period in which an exit
activity is initiated and in any subsequent period until the activity is
completed. SFAS 146 is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities
initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. Under SFAS
146, a company cannot restate its previously issued financial statements and the
new Statement grandfathers the accounting for liabilities that a company had
previously recorded under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 94-3.
INFLATION
During the closing months of fiscal year 2002, we contended with rising raw
material prices. We believe we have generally been able to offset the effects
thereof through continuing improvements in operating efficiencies and by
increasing prices to our customers to the extent permitted by competitive
factors. However, we cannot assure you that such cost increases can be passed
through to our customers in the future or that the effects can be offset by
further improvements in operating efficiencies.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The market risk inherent in the Company's financial instruments and
positions represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest
rates. At June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001 the principal amount of the Company's
aggregate outstanding variable rate indebtedness was $375,120 and $401,560
respectively. A hypothetical 1% adverse change in interest rates would have had
an annualized unfavorable impact of approximately $1,304 and $4,000,
respectively, on the Company's earnings and cash flows based upon these year-end
debt levels. To ameliorate these risks, in June 2000, the Company entered into
interest rate Swap and Cap Agreements for a notional amount of $344,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors
Tekni-Plex, Inc.
Somerville, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tekni-Plex,
Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 28, 2002. 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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 subsidiaries as of June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended June 28, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the Company has
changed its method of aggregating its operating segments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS)
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Tekni-Plex, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Tekni-Plex" or the "Company") is a
global, diversified manufacturer of packaging, packaging products, and materials
as well as tubing products. We primarily serve the food, healthcare and consumer
markets. 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 two primary business groups: Packaging
and Tubing Products.
CONSOLIDATION POLICY
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of
Tekni-Plex, Inc. and its 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
primarily on 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, trademarks, and customer lists over seventeen, five 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).
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.
F-7
TEKNI-PLEX, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Shipping and handling costs are recorded to cost of sales.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenditures for the Company's projects are
expensed as incurred.
TREASURY STOCK
Treasury Stock is recorded at cost. Gains and losses on disposition are
recorded as increases or decreases to additional paid-in capital with losses in
excess of previously recorded gains charged directly to retained earnings.
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 years ended June 28, 2002, June 29, 2001, and June 30, 2000
contained 52 weeks each.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the current year presentation.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries are translated at year
end exchange rates and related translation adjustments are reported as a
component of stockholders' deficit. The statement of operations accounts are
translated at the average rates during the period.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets, such as goodwill, customer lists 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 June 28, 2002.
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 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.

TEKNI-PLEX, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
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.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Effective July 1, 2000, Tekni-Plex adopted Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
amended and interpreted. FAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments, such
as interest rate swaps, be recognized in the financial statements and measured
at their fair market value. Changes in the fair market value of derivative
instruments are recognized each period in current operations or stockholders'
equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss), depending on
whether a derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge transaction.
In the normal course of business, Tekni-Plex is exposed to changes in
interest rates. The objective in managing its exposure to interest rates is to
decrease the volatility that changes in interest rates might have on operations
and cash flows. To achieve this objective, Tekni-Plex uses interest rate swaps
and caps to hedge a portion of total long-term debt that is subject to variable
interest rates. These derivative contracts are considered to be a hedge against
changes in the amount of future cash flows associated with the interest payments
on variable-rate debt obligations, however, they do not qualify for hedge
accounting under FASB 133. Accordingly, the interest rate swaps are reflected at
fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related gains or losses on
these contracts are recorded as an unrealized loss from derivative instruments
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Currently these are the only
derivative instruments held by Tekni-Plex as of June 28, 2002. The fair value of
derivative contracts are determined based on quoted market values obtained from
a third party.
As of July 1, 2000, Tekni-Plex had interest swap contracts to pay variable
rates of interest based on a basket of LIBOR benchmarks and receive variable
rates of interest based on a 3 month dollar LIBOR on an aggregate of $29,000
amount of indebtedness with maturity dates ranging from June 2006 through June
2008. In conjunction with these swap contracts, Tekni-Plex also purchased an
interest rate cap. The aggregate fair market value of these interest rate swap
and cap contracts was $(21,721) and $(13,891) on June 28, 2002 and June 29,
2001, respectively, and is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated
Balance Sheet. For the years ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, Tekni-Plex
incurred realized losses of $7,939 and $1,806, respectively, which have been
reflected in interest expense.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized FASB
Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase
method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141
also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from
goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS 141
applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for
purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. It also
requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that the Company reclassify the carrying
amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria in SFAS 141.
SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize
goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In
addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the
purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the
useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease
amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.
F-9
TEKNI-PLEX, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for
impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142. SFAS 142 is required to
be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and
other intangible assets recognized at that date, regardless of when those assets
were initially recognized. SFAS 142 requires the Company to complete a
transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. The
Company is also required to reassess the useful lives of other intangible assets
within the first interim quarter after adoption of SFAS 142.
The Company's previous business combinations were accounted for using the
purchase method. As of June 28, 2002, the net carrying amount of goodwill for
acquisitions prior to July 1, 2001 is $164,100 and other intangible assets are
$600. Amortization expense during the year ended June 28, 2002 was $15,500
related to those acquisitions. The acquisition of the Swan garden hose division
of Mark IV Industries, Inc. was accounted for as a purchase. The acquisition
resulted in customer lists and goodwill of $3,900 and $36,200, respectively. In
accordance with SFAS 142, the Swan goodwill is not being amortized. Amortization
of customer lists was approximately $600 for the year ended June 28, 2002. If
the Company had adopted SFAS 142 on July 2, 1999, the Company's net loss for
each of the three years in the period ended June 28, 2002 would have been as
follows:
<Table>
<Caption>
JUNE 28, JUNE 29, JUNE 20,
2002 2001 2000
-------- -------- --------
Net income (loss) before extraordinary item, as
previously reported.................................. $(6,587) $(18,994) $14,406
Add amortization, net of tax........................... 9,299 9,299 9,315
Adjusted net income(loss).............................. $ 2,712 $ (9,695) $23,721
</Table>
The Company has not yet completed its transitional analysis of goodwill,
and has therefore not yet determined the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS
142 will have on the carrying amount of goodwill or the results of operations,
other then discussed above.
In August 2001, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144"). The new guidance
resolves significant implementation issues related to FASB Statement No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121, but it retains its
fundamental provisions. It also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidate a
subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. SFAS 144 retains the
requirement of SFAS 121 to recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying
amount of a long-lived asset within the scope of SFAS 144 is not recoverable
from its undiscounted cash flows and exceeds its fair value.
SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application
encouraged. The provisions of SFAS 144 generally are to be applied
prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS 144 will have
on its financial position and results of operations.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Restructuring
Costs. SFAS 146 applies to costs associated with an exit activity (including
restructuring) or with a disposal of long-lived assets. Those activities can
include eliminating or reducing product lines, terminating employees and
contracts and relocating plant facilities or personnel. Under SFAS 146, a
company will record a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity when that liability is incurred and can be measured at fair value.
SFAS 146 will require a company to disclose information about its exit and
disposal activities, the related costs, and changes in those costs in the notes
to the interim and annual financial statements that include the period in which
an exit activity is initiated and in any subsequent period until the activity is
completed. SFAS 146 is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities
initiated after December 31, 2002, with
F-10
TEKNI-PLEX, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
earlier adoption encouraged. Under SFAS 146, a company cannot restate its
previously issued financial statements and the new Statement grandfathers the
accounting for liabilities that a company had previously recorded under Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue 94-3.
2. RECAPITALIZATION
In June 2000, the Company entered into a Recapitalization (the
"Recapitalization") with certain of its stockholders, whereby the Company
purchased approximately 51% of the outstanding stock for approximately $220,500
including related transaction fees. This stock has been reflected as treasury
stock in the accompanying balance sheet.
As a result of provisions in the Company's Senior Debt and Subordinated
Note Agreements, the Company redeemed it's $200,000 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated
Notes, its $75,000 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes and repaid its Senior Debt
in the amount of approximately $153,000. These transactions resulted in an
extraordinary loss on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $35,374. The
extraordinary loss is comprised of prepayment penalties and other interest costs
of $39,303, the write-off of deferred financing costs of $16,696 and other fees
of $1,325, net of a tax benefit of $21,950.
These transactions were funded by $43,101 of new equity, $275,000 12 3/4%
Senior Subordinated Notes (see Note 7(b)) and initial borrowings of $374,000 on
a $444,000 Senior Credit Facility (see Note 7(a)).
3. ACQUISITIONS
In October 2001, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Swan for approximately $63,600. The acquisition was recorded
under the purchase method, whereby Swan's net assets were recorded at estimated
fair value and its operations have been reflected in the statement of operations
since that date. The allocation of the purchase price was as follows:

In November 2000, the Company purchased certain assets of Super Plastics
Division ("Super Plastics") of RCR International, Inc., for approximately
$10,200. The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method, whereby Super
Plastics' net assets were recorded at estimated fair value and its operations
have been reflected in the statement of operations since that date. As a result
of the acquisition, goodwill of approximately $5,500 has been recorded, which is
being amortized over 15 years. In connection with the acquisition, the Company
established a reserve of $2,600. The reserve was comprised of the costs to close
a duplicate facility and terminate employees. There was no balance remaining in
this reserve at June 29, 2001.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
A) SENIOR DEBT
The Company has a Senior Debt agreement, which includes a $100,000
revolving credit agreement, and two term loans in the original aggregate amount
of $344,000. The proceeds of the credit agreement were used as part of the
Recapitalization (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 compliance with customary
financial ratios. The Company is in compliance with all such financial
covenants.
REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT
Borrowings under the agreement may be used for general corporate purposes
with $54,000 of additional borrowings available at June 28, 2002. Interest, at
the Company's option, is charged at the Prime Rate, plus the Applicable Base
Rate Margin (initially 2%) or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as defined, plus the
Applicable Euro-Dollar Margin (initially 3%). The Applicable Base Rate Margin
and Applicable Euro-Dollar Margin can be reduced by up to 1.25 % based on the
maintenance of certain leverage ratios. At June 28, 2002 the balance of $46,000
outstanding was borrowed at 4.875% At June 29, 2001, the rates charged were at
various rates ranging from 6.754% to 8.75%. The Revolving Credit Agreement
expires in June 2006.
TERM LOAN A
Borrowings under this loan, in the original amount of $100,000, were used
in connection with the Recapitalization. Interest is payable quarterly at the
same rates and margins discussed above under the Revolving Credit Agreement,
5.0% and 7.5% at June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, respectively. Principal is
currently payable in quarterly installments of $1,250. The quarterly
installments subsequently increase with payments totaling $70,000 due in the
final two years in the period ending in June 2006.
TERM LOAN B
Borrowings under this loan in the original amount of $244,000 were used in
connection with the Recapitalization. Interest is payable quarterly at the same
rate discussed above, except the Applicable Base Rate Margin is initially 2.5%
and the Applicable Euro-Dollar Margin is initially 3.5%. Rates of 5.5% and 7.25%
were charged at June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, respectively. In addition, the
Applicable Base Rate and Applicable Euro-Dollar Margin can be reduced by .5%
based on the maintenance of certain leverage ratios. Principal is currently
payable in quarterly installments of $610. The quarterly installments
subsequently increase with payments totaling $229,000 due in the final two years
in the period ending in June 2008.
B) SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES ISSUED JUNE 2000 AND MAY 2002
In June 2000, the Company issued $275,000 of 12 3/4% ten year Senior
Subordinated Notes less a discount of $3,768, the proceeds of which were used in
connection with the Recapitalization. The discount is being amortized over the
term of the notes on the interest method. Interest is payable semi-annually and
the notes are unsecured obligations and rank subordinate to existing and future
senior debt, including current term loans and revolving credit facilities. The
notes are callable by the Company after June 15, 2005 at a premium of 6.375%,
which decreases to par after June 2008. In addition, prior to June 15, 2003, the
Company may call up to 35% of the principal amount of the notes outstanding with
proceeds from one or more public offerings of the Company's Capital Stock at a
premium of 12.75%. 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 the sale of assets.
On May 6, 2002, the Company issued an additional $40,000 of 12 3/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes plus a premium of $600, the proceeds of which were used to
repay borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The
F-14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
premium is being amortized over the term of the notes on the interest method.
These notes have the same terms and maturity as the June 2000 notes discussed
above.
Principal payments on long-term debt over the next five years and
thereafter are as follows:

NET OPERATING LOSSES
The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated tax return. The
Company and its U.S. subsidiaries have net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards
of approximately $81,369. These NOL's expire at various dates from 2009 through
2021. Approximately $80,000 of the NOL's are as a result of the acquisition of
PureTec in 1997 (the "PureTec NOL's"). The PureTec NOL's are subject to IRC
Section 382 change of ownership annual limitation of approximately $5,900.
The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries would need to realize taxable income
of not less than $15,000 through to 2009, and not less than $80,000 through 2013
in order to fully realize the benefit of the NOL carryforwards. The net
long-term domestic deferred tax assets have been subjected to a valuation
allowance of
F-16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
$5,000 since management believes it is more likely than not that a portion of
the NOL balance will not be realized as a result of the various limitations on
their usage, discussed above.
In addition to the domestic NOL balances, the Company has incurred losses
relating to a subsidiary, taxable in Northern Ireland. Through fiscal 2002
losses aggregated $2,500 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.
9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
(A) SAVINGS PLANS
i. The Company maintains a discretionary 401(k) plan covering all eligible
employees with at least one year of service Contributions to the plan were
determined annually by the Board of Directors.
The Company will determine matching contributions to the plan each year not
to exceed 2% of the employee's eligible compensation. Contributions for the
fiscal years ended June 28, 2002, June 29, 2001 and June 30, 2000 amounted to
approximately $1,130, $863 and $996, respectively.
(B) PENSION PLANS
i. 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.
The components of net periodic pension costs are as follows:

equity. This amount represents a portion of the unrecognized net actuarial loss
for the year ending June 28, 2002 as a result of investment return less than the
actuarial assumption.
ii. 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.

actuarial assumption.
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 years ended June 28, 2002, June 29, 2001 and
June 30, 2000 amounted to $177, $182 and $130, respectively.

The accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was deter-mined using a

trend rate for medical benefits was assumed to be 6%. 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 $282 and $295 and increase the service and interest components by
$24 and $27 at June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, respectively.
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company had a management consulting agreement with an affiliate of a
stockholder. The terms of the agreement required the Company to pay a fee of
approximately $30 per month for a period of ten years, with certain renewal
provisions. Consulting service fees were approximately $400 for the year ending
July 2, 1999. In June 2000 the Company agreed to terminate the management
consulting agreement at a cost of $3,651 which has been included in other
income/expense.
11. STOCK OPTIONS
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

TEKNI-PLEX, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
granted at fair market value on the date of grant. As of July 2, 1999 options to
purchase 38.17 shares of common stock were outstanding with an average exercise
price of $177. During 2001 and 2000 options were granted to purchase 4.02 and
1.27 shares of common stock at weighted-average exercise prices of $559 and $508
per share, respectively. The options are subject to vesting provisions, as
determined by the Board of Directors, and generally vest 100% five years from
grant date and expire 10 years from date of grant. In connection with the
Recapitalization 25.16363 options with an exercise price of $154 were cancelled.
At June 28, 2002, no options were exercisable and no options have been
exercised or forfeited as of June 28, 2002.
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 income (loss) before extraordinary items would have been reduced
(increased) to the pro forma amounts indicated below. The calculations were
based on a risk free interest rate of 4.0% and 5.7% for the 2001 and 2000
options, respectively, expected volatility of zero, a dividend yield of zero and
expected lives of 8 years.

CONTINGENCIES
(a) 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, results of operations or cash flows.
13. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISKS
Financial instruments that potentially subject the 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 Canada and Europe. As part of its cash management process, the
Company periodically reviews the credit standing of these banks.

Income from operations is total net sales less cost of goods sold and
operating expenses of each segment before deductions for general corporate
expenses not directly related to an individual segment and interest.
Identifiable assets by industry are those assets that are used in the Company's
operation in each industry segment, including assigned value of goodwill.
Corporate identifiable assets consist primarily of cash, prepaid expenses,
deferred income taxes and fixed assets.
