NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
all adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair
presentation of the information for the interim periods herein reported. The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include amounts that are
based on management's best estimates and judgments. 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. These unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1995 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the year ending
December 31, 1996.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
Earnings per common and common equivalent share is calculated using the
weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding, adjusted for
treasury shares, and equivalent common shares derived from dilutive stock
options and warrants. The number of shares used in the calculations were as
follows:

NOTE 4 - AMENDED CREDIT AGREEMENT
On June 27, 1996, the Company amended its credit agreement with a bank to
provide financing of up to $21.7 million consisting of a $6 million term loan
commitment for the purchase of new equipment, a $7 million revolving line of
credit and $8.7 of term loans outstanding from its previous agreement. The
revolving line of credit expires June 30, 1998, and the term loan commitment
expires June 30, 1997. All amounts borrowed under the revolving line of credit
are due and payable upon expiration. Term loans are to be repaid over periods
of up to five years. The agreement is collateralized by a general first
priority lien on all the assets of the Company except certain property, plant
and equipment where the bank's security interest is subordinated to the holders
of other Company notes payable. Approximately $8.0 million was outstanding
under this agreement at September 30, 1996.
Interest on the revolving line of credit is payable monthly at an annual rate
equal to the bank's prime rate or, at the Company's option, 1.2% above the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Interest on the term loans is at
varying rates, at the Company's option, of from 1.5% to 1.75% above the bank's
certificate of deposit rate or LIBOR for an agreed upon time period.
The Company must adhere to covenants set forth in the agreement which require,
among other restrictions, that the Company maintain a minimum level of tangible
net worth (which effectively limited the amount available for the payment of
dividends at September 30, 1996 to approximately $6.0 million), working capital
and net income and certain minimum financial ratios, and that the Company
restrict the incurrence of additional debt without the bank's consent.
NOTE 5 - MAJOR CUSTOMER
Sales to a major customer amounted to $2,036,000 (14% of net sales) in the
three months ended September 30, 1996 and $1,303,000 (11% of net sales) in the
three months ended September 30, 1995. There were no individual customers that
represented over 10% of net sales for the nine month periods ended September
30, 1996 and 1995.
NOTE 6 - ACQUISITION OF REMAINING MINORITY INTEREST IN AMERICAN SAFETY CLOSURE
CORP.
Effective July 15, 1996, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding common
stock of American Safety Closure Corp. ("ASC") as contemplated in the Merger
Agreement of January 5, 1995 as amended.

8
The transaction has been reflected in the accompanying condensed financial
statements using the purchase method of accounting. The cost of the
acquisition of the minority interest was $458,000 in cash and $2,686,000 for
160,410 shares of SEDA common stock (valued at $16 3/4, the fair value at July
15, 1996), bringing the total cost of the acquisition of ASC to $4,009,000 in
cash and $3,336,000 for 242,910 shares of SEDA common stock. The cost of the
acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed based upon their estimated fair values. ASC's results of operations
have been included in the Company's consolidated results since June 22, 1995.
A summary of the purchase price allocation as reflected in the accompanying
condensed financial statements is as follows:

Net working capital deficit $ (1,943)

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 VS. 1995
"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995:
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not
historical facts may contain forward-looking statements that involve a number
of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those discussed or anticipated by management. Potential
risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, general business
conditions, competitive market conditions, success of the Company's growth
strategy, delays or cancellation of orders, changes in the mix of products
sold, concentration of raw materials suppliers, fluctuating raw materials
prices, concentration of sales in markets and customers, changes in
manufacturing efficiencies, development and introduction of new products,
fluctuations in margins, timing of significant orders, and other risks and
uncertainties currently unknown to management.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased approximately
30% to $15.0 million compared to $11.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995. This increase resulted from a 38% increase in sales of
containers and an 18% increase in sales of closures and custom products. The
increases were largely due to increased demand for flexible plastic tubes, PET
bottles and custom products both from existing customers and an expanding
customer base.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased
approximately 43% to $4.9 million from $3.4 million in the comparable period of
1995. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 32.6% for the
three months ended September 30, 1996, from 29.4% in the comparable period of
the prior year. The improvement in gross margin percentage was caused
primarily by lower raw material costs, a favorable change in product mix
reflecting a greater percentage of higher margin products, and improved
manufacturing economies related to higher production levels, partially offset
by a higher number of third party dispensing closures on tubes sold.
Selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased 32% to
$890,000 compared to $672,000 for the comparable period of the prior year. As
a percentage of net sales, selling expenses increased to 5.9% for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from 5.8% for the corresponding period of 1995.
The changes were due primarily to higher payroll costs, freight costs and
commissions related to the higher net sales volume.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,
1996 increased to $973,000 from $704,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1995. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses
increased to 6.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from 6.1% for
the same period in 1995. Higher payroll costs, bad debt expenses and
professional fees related to investment banking services were the primary
reasons for the increase in 1996.
8
10
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $284,000 as
compared to $428,000 in the same period in 1995 due to lower outstanding debt
and lower interest rates. Other income is primarily interest income on
short-term investments.
The higher effective tax rate for the third quarter of 1996 of 37.0% as
compared to 30.5% for the comparable period of 1995 reflects a reduction in
estimated state income tax credits related to the Company's location in a
designated revitalization zone.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased approximately
53% to $44.6 million compared to $29.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. This increase resulted from a 57% increase in sales of
containers and a 46% increase in sales of closures and custom products.
Approximately 37% of the increase in net sales was a result of the Company's
acquisition of a majority interest in ASC in mid 1995. The remaining increases
were largely due to increased demand for flexible plastic tubes, PET bottles
and custom products both from existing customers and from an expanding customer
base.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased
approximately 69% to $14.8 million from $8.7 million in the comparable period
of 1995. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 33.1% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, from 30.0% in the comparable period of
the prior year. The improvement in gross margin percentage was caused
primarily by lower raw material costs, a favorable change in product mix
reflecting a greater percentage of higher margin products, and improved
manufacturing economies related to higher production levels, partially offset
by a higher number of third party dispensing closures on tubes sold and the
consolidation of ASC which produced products with lower gross margins than the
other operations of the Company.
Selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased 47% to
$2,787,000 compared to $1,897,000 for the comparable period of the prior year.
As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses decreased to 6.3% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from 6.5% for the corresponding period of 1995.
The changes were due primarily to higher freight costs, payroll costs and
commissions and the inclusion of ASC selling expenses.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 increased to $3,171,000 from $1,840,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative
expenses increased to 7.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from
6.3% for the same period in 1995. Higher payroll costs, the addition of ASC
administrative expenses, and higher professional fees related to investment
banking services and shareholder relations and higher bad debt expenses were
the primary reasons for the increase in 1996.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased to
$942,000 as compared to $1,033,000 in the same period in 1995 because of lower
interest rates and the reduction of ASC interest bearing debt in 1996. Other
income is primarily interest income on short-term investments.
The higher effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1996 of 37.0% as
compared to 32.0% for the comparable period of 1995 reflects a reduction in
estimated state income tax credits related to the Company's location in a
designated revitalization zone.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's short-term liquidity needs have generally consisted of operating
capital necessary to fund growth in receivables and inventory. It has
satisfied the short-term requirements with cash generated from operations and
secured bank lines of credit. Long-term liquidity needs generally relate to
capital expenditures necessary to expand the Company's manufacturing
operations. The Company meets its long-term liquidity requirements with cash
generated from operations and five-year secured notes or capital leases with
banks and finance companies. The Company believes that cash generated by
operations, supplemented as necessary with funds expected to be available under
its bank credit agreement (which expires June 30, 1998), will provide
sufficient resources to meet present and reasonably foreseeable working capital
requirements, debt service and other cash needs throughout the term of the
agreement.
Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
$9.7 million as compared to $5.8 million for the same period of 1995,
reflecting the higher net income in the first nine months of 1996. Cash used
for the acquisition of machinery and equipment was $2.7 million in the first
nine months of 1996 compared to $7.3 million for the same period of 1995. Cash
used in the first nine months of 1996 related to the acquisition of ASC was
only $0.3 million compared to $3.4 million in the first nine months of 1995.
Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30,
1996 was $5.4 million as compared to $3.1 million cash provided by financing
activities in the first nine months of 1995, due to new long-term debt of $6.7
million in 1995 versus the repayment of $1.5 million on the Company's line of
credit and the purchase of treasury stock in the first nine months of 1996.
