(2) In 1996 the Company created a new business segment, Core Plastics, and
renamed the remaining two segments. The Company believes that the new
segmentation will provide more useful information for decision-making and
for understanding the Company's financial results. The 1995 results have
been restated to conform to the 1996 presentation.
