2004 the Company announced that it had reached an agreement in principle with
six bondholders holding over 70 percent in aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Company&#146;s 10&#190; percent senior notes to recapitalize the senior
notes. Pursuant to the agreement in principle, the Company did not pay the
interest on the senior notes that became due on July&nbsp;1, 2004 and January&nbsp;2,
2005.</font></p>

a prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and will involve an exchange of
the Company's 10 3/4 percent senior notes. As originally proposed, the
noteholders of $500,000 or more in principal amount (&quot;large&quot;
beneficial holders) would have received 100 percent of the common equity of the
reorganized private Company and new senior notes to be issued by the reorganized
private Company, and the other noteholders would have received cash in an
amount equal to the fair market value of their notes. All of the Company's
existing stock would have been canceled and the existing stockholders would
have received a ratable portion of $2.5 million in cash. The proposed plan also
provided that the Company would pay its trade creditors in full on a current
basis.</font></p>

of votes for the prepackaged Chapter 11 plan commenced on November&nbsp;1, 2004
and was concluded on November&nbsp;24, 2004 with 95 percent of the dollar
amount of &#147;large&#148; beneficial holders, counting only those claims that actually
voted, voting in favor of the plan. &#147;Small&#148; note holders holding less than
$500,000 in principal amount voted to reject the plan.</font></p>

2004, the Company filed its voluntary, prepackaged plan of reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware. In order to fund normal operations during the bankruptcy
proceedings, the Company entered into an agreement with GE Commercial Finance,
which provided $125 million of debtor-in-possession financing. The financing
facility was fully syndicated on December&nbsp;27, 2004. The plan and
debtor-in-possession financing facility provides sufficient liquidity during
the bankruptcy proceedings.</font></p>

Court for the District of Delaware had approved its prepackaged
recapitalization plan. The Company also announced that it had amended its plan
to provide all &#147;small&#148; noteholders with the option of receiving either cash in
an amount of $0.51 per $1.00 of their claims or new securities of the
reorganized Company. For those &#147;small&#148; noteholders that receive cash, the
Company has agreed to fund $0.02 of the $0.51 cash payment, with the balance to
be provided by certain of the &#147;large&#148; noteholders, subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions. The Company&#146;s $0.02 obligation will be funded by a
portion of the $2.5 million contemplated to be distributed to the Company&#146;s
existing shareholders, who are not entitled to any distribution under the plan.
The Company expects that its existing shareholders now will receive
approximately 15% to 30% less than that amount, depending upon the number of &#147;small&#148;
noteholders that elect to receive cash. Trade </font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">creditors will be paid in full pursuant to the plan. Subsequent to
amending its plan, the Company reached an agreement with Ingalls &amp; Snyder
LLC, a representative of a significant number of the &#147;small&#148; noteholders that
had previously voted to reject the plan, in satisfaction of its objection to
the plan.</font></p>

reorganized company, which will be issued to &#147;large&#148; noteholders and the
&#147;small&#148; noteholders not electing cash, will consist of new senior notes and all
of the common stock of the company.&#160; The
new senior notes will have an aggregate principal amount of $50 million, a
seven-year term and will be redeemable after the first year at declining
premiums.&#160; Interest will accrue at a rate
of 12 percent per annum, and may be paid in cash or in kind, unless certain
minimum financial requirements are achieved, in which case the interest must be
paid in cash.&#160; The reorganized company
will not be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company
expects to emerge from Chapter 11 during the first calendar quarter of 2005.
Subject to certain closing conditions, GE Commercial Finance has also committed
to provide $125 million of exit financing, of which $55 million will be a
revolving credit facility, upon consummation of the Chapter 11 cases.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company&#146;s
liquidity generally depends on cash provided by operating activities and our GE
Commercial Finance credit facility. The ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern depends, among other things, on: (i) the Company&#146;s ability to
maintain adequate cash on hand; (ii) the Company&#146;s ability to generate cash
from operations; (iii) the duration and outcome of the recapitalization
process; and (iv) the Company&#146;s ability to achieve profitability following a
recapitalization. Such conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company&#146;s
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company, in conjunction with its
advisors, is implementing strategies to provide adequate liquidity for the

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On June&nbsp;19,
2001 the Company issued $275,000 of 10&#190; percent senior notes due 2011 (the &#147;Senior
Notes&#148;). The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of AET. The indenture for
the senior notes contains customary covenants and related provisions including
a cross default provision based on the acceleration of debt under other
significant debt instruments. The issue price of each senior note was $984.94
per $1,000 principal amount at maturity. The bond discount is being amortized
over the life of the notes.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Interest on the
senior notes is paid semi-annually on January&nbsp;2 and July&nbsp;1. Pursuant
to the recapitalization plan discussed in further detail in Note 2 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company did not pay the
interest on the senior notes that became due on July&nbsp;1, 2004 and January&nbsp;2,
2005. In addition, as a result of this and the intended recapitalization, the
entire balance of the senior notes as December&nbsp;31, 2004 of $272,308 has
been classified as a current liability.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On October&nbsp;3,
2003 the Company entered into a five-year $100,000 credit facility with GE
Commercial Finance. The credit facility originally consisted of a $50,000 term
loan and a $50,000 revolving line of credit. The Company amended this credit
facility on March&nbsp;23, 2004. This amended credit facility increased the
Company&#146;s revolving line of credit from the original $50,000 to $60,000 and
reduced the EBITDA covenant through the third quarter of fiscal 2005.</font></p>

2004 the Company amended its credit facility with GE Commercial Finance to,
among other things, restate its minimum EBITDA covenant for the third quarter
of fiscal 2004 from approximately $35,000 to $30,000 and its minimum fixed
charge coverage ratio from 0.70 to 0.55. On October&nbsp;1, 2004, the Company
once again amended its credit facility to lower its minimum EBITDA covenant for
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 from approximately 43,000 to 28,500 and its
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio from .85 to .55. Both of these amendments
restricted the Company from paying interest due on the senior notes unless the
Company had excess availability under the current credit facility of $20,000
after giving effect to such interest payment.</font></p>

group, led by GE Commercial Finance, agreed to waive any event of default
arising from the current credit facility with respect to the non payment of
interest on the senior notes.</font></p>

ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 the Company entered into a super-priority debtor
in possession loan agreement (the &#147;DIP Credit Facility&#148;) with GE Commercial
Finance.&#160; The DIP Credit Facility
consists of a Revolving Credit Facility of up to $55,000, a Term Loan of up to
$50,000 and a last out Term Loan of up to $20,000.&#160; The proceeds from the term loans of $70,000
were used to pay-off the existing term loan and a portion of the revolving debt
with GE Commercial Finance.&#160; The DIP
Credit Facility will be replaced with the exit financing referred to in Note 2
to the condensed consolidated financial statements upon the Company&#146;s emergence
from Chapter 11 in the first calendar quarter of fiscal 2005.&#160; As a result, the entire balances due on the
existing revolving line of credit of $25,933 and term loan of $70,000 as of December&nbsp;31,
2004 have been classified as current liabilities.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In December&nbsp;2004,
the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), &#147;Share-Based Payment&#148; SFAS No. 123(R) revises SFAS
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation
guidance. SFAS 123(R) will require compensation costs related to share-based
payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements.&#160; The amount of compensation cost will be measured
based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments
issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee
provides service in exchange for the award. This statement is effective as of
the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after
June&nbsp;15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from this
standard on its results of operations and financial position.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In January&nbsp;2003,
the FASB issued FIN 46, &#147;Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an
Interpretation of ARB No. 51. &#147; FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business
enterprises of variable interest entities. The FASB then issued FIN 46R, &#147;Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities,&#148; which replaced FIN 46. Application of FIN 46R
is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in
variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities commonly
referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December&nbsp;15,
2003. Application by public entities for all other types of entities is
required in financial statements for periods ending after March&nbsp;15, 2004.
The Company has adopted both FIN 46 and FIN 46R, and their adoption had no
impact on the Company&#146;s financial position or results of operations.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In May 2003, the
FASB issued SFAS 150, &#147;Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.&#148; This Statement establishes
standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial
instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires
that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a
liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This Statement is effective for
financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and
otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning
after June&nbsp;15, 2003. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 150,
including the deferral of certain effective dates as a result of the provisions
of FASB Staff Position 150-3, &#147;Effective Date, Disclosures, and Transition for
Mandatory Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and
Certain Mandatory Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests Under FASB Statement No.

<p align="left" style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company
announced a major restructuring of its Covington, Virginia manufacturing
facility in 1998.&#160; The restructuring
included the shutdown of certain assets and the elimination of approximately
200 full-time manufacturing and plant administrative positions.&#160; </font>In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a charge of $14,980
comprised of approximately $8,207 for ongoing operating lease commitments
related to idled lease equipment, $4,100 in severance and outplacement costs,
and $2,673 in other charges.&#160; As of September&nbsp;30,
2003, the restructuring reserve had a balance of $2,629 related entirely to
operating lease commitments.&#160; In the
quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2003, the Company repurchased the assets
covered under these lease commitments and utilized the balance in the
restructuring reserve as an offset to the purchase price of these assets.</p>

maintains common stock option plans for key employees, directors and
consultants under which the exercise price is generally not less than the fair
value of the shares at the date of grant.&#160;
The options generally vest at a rate of 25% per year.&#160; Vested employee options generally expire
within three months of employment termination or one year after the death of
the employee.&#160; Vested director options
generally expire within three months of the resignation or within six months of
the death of a director.&#160; All options
expire upon the occurrence of the tenth anniversary of the grant date or upon
other termination events specified in the plans.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company derives its revenues, earnings and cash
flows primarily from the sale of oriented polypropylene films, referred to as
OPP films, used in consumer product labeling, flexible packaging and overwrap
applications.&#160; The Company has a leading
position in substantially all of the major high-end OPP films end-use product
categories in North America, and offers one of the most extensive product lines
in the OPP films industry, ranging from high-margin, specialized label and high
barrier films to basic heat sealable lower barrier films.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">End users of AET&#146;s films are consumer product
companies whose labels and packages require special attributes such as vivid
graphics, exceptional clarity and moisture barriers to preserve freshness.&#160; AET&#146;s OPP films product line is classified
into two categories&#151;the Core Business, which is comprised primarily of labels
and packaging films, and the High Value Business, which consists of the Company&#146;s
TOppCure<sup>&#174;</sup> and Platinum films.&#160;
AET&#146;s film products are utilized by end users such as Coca-Cola<sup>&#174;,</sup>
Pepsi-Cola<sup>&#174;</sup>, Frito-Lay<sup>&#174;</sup>, Nabisco<sup>&#174;</sup>, Kellogg&#146;s<sup>&#174;</sup>,
Hershey Foods<sup>&#174;</sup>, Sony<sup>&#174;</sup> and Lipton<sup>&#174;</sup>.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 of $67,405 were $9,830, or
17 percent higher compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2004.&#160; The majority of this increase is attributable
to a 15.5 percent increase in overall unit volume.&#160; Net selling prices increased approximately
1.5 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the same quarter in
fiscal 2004. The average selling price reflects a unit price increase of
approximately six percent, which was largely offset by a less favorable sales
mix.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Sales outside the United States were 18.5 percent of sales for the
first quarter of fiscal 2005 and 19.2 percent of sales for the first quarter of
fiscal 2004.&#160; Sales outside the United
States generated an operating loss of $506 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005
compared with an operating profit of $589 in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 of $3,556, was
$5,977, or 62.7 percent, lower than the first quarter of fiscal 2004.&#160; The reduction in gross profit is principally
due to a 15 percent increase in unit cost driven by increased raw material
costs of approximately 40 percent.&#160; Gross
margin for the quarter was 5.3 percent versus 16.6 percent in fiscal 2004.</font></p>

for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 versus $1,666, or 2.9 percent of sales,
for the first quarter of fiscal 2004.&#160;
The Company expects to continue to spend approximately 3 percent of its
sales on the development of new high value films.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company incurred $3,753 in restructuring expenses in the first
quarter of fiscal 2005 consisting primarily of professional fees paid in
connection with the recapitalization of the Company&#146;s senior notes (see Note 2
to the condensed consolidated financial statements).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 of $12,026 was
$1,420 higher than the first quarter of fiscal 2004.&#160; The increase is primarily due to higher
average debt balances in combination with a rise in interest rates.&#160; Interest expense for the first quarter of
fiscal 2005 includes approximately $2,600 of write-offs of deferred debt
expenses necessitated by the replacement of the Company&#146;s existing debt with
debtor in possession financing.&#160; In the
first quarter of fiscal 2004 interest-expense included approximately $2,200 of
nonrecurring expenses associated with the Company&#146;s refinancing on October&nbsp;3,
2003.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was $19,466, or $1.52
per share, compared with a net loss of $8,217, or $.64 per share, for the first
quarter of fiscal 2004.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company
entered into a five-year $100,000 credit facility with GE Commercial Finance on
October&nbsp;3, 2003.&#160; The credit
facility originally consisted of a $50,000 term loan and a $50,000 revolving
line of credit.&#160; The Company amended this
credit facility on March&nbsp;23, 2004.&#160;
This amendment increased the Company&#146;s revolving line of credit by $10
million to $60 million and reduced the EBITDA covenant through the third
quarter of fiscal 2005.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On July&nbsp;30,
2004 the Company announced that it had reached an agreement in principle with
six bondholders holding over 70 percent in aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Company&#146;s 10&#190; percent senior notes to recapitalize the senior
notes. Pursuant to the agreement in principle, the Company did not pay the
interest on the senior notes that became due on July&nbsp;1, 2004 and January&nbsp;2,
2005.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On December&nbsp;1,
2004, the Company filed its voluntary, prepackaged plan of reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware.&#160; In order to fund
normal operations during the bankruptcy proceedings, the Company entered into
an agreement with GE Commercial Finance, which provides $125 million of
debtor-in-possession financing during the Chapter 11 period.&#160; The plan and debtor-in-possession financing
facility provides sufficient liquidity during the bankruptcy proceedings.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The recapitalization
plan, as amended and confirmed on January&nbsp;24, 2005, will involve an
exchange of the Company&#146;s 10&#190; percent senior notes pursuant to which the
noteholders will receive 100 percent of the common equity of the reorganized
private Company and new senior notes to be issued by the reorganized private
Company.&#160; The amended plan provides
noteholders of less than $500,000 in principal amount (&#147;small&#148; beneficial
holders) with the option of receiving either cash in an amount of $0.51 per
$1.00 of their claims or new securities of the reorganized Company. For those &#147;small&#148;
noteholders that receive cash, the Company has agreed to fund $0.02 of the
$0.51 cash payment, with the balance to be provided by certain of the &#147;large&#148;
noteholders, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company&#146;s
$0.02 obligation will be funded by a portion of the $2.5 million contemplated
to be distributed to the Company&#146;s existing shareholders, who are not entitled
to any distribution under the plan. The Company expects that its existing
shareholders now will receive approximately 15% to 30% less than that amount,
depending upon the number of &#147;small&#148; noteholders that elect to receive
cash.&#160; The new senior notes will have an
aggregate principal amount of $50 million, a seven-year term and will be
redeemable after the first year at declining premiums.&#160; Interest will accrue at a rate of 12 percent
per annum, and may be paid in cash or in kind, unless certain minimum financial
requirements are achieved, in which case the interest must be paid in
cash.&#160; All of the Company&#146;s existing
stock will be canceled. Under the prepackaged Chapter 11 plan, the Company will
pay its trade creditors in full on a current basis.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company
expects to emerge from Chapter 11 before the end of the first calendar quarter
of 2005.&#160;&#160; Subject to certain closing
conditions, GE Commercial Finance has also committed to provide $125 million of
exit financing, of which $55 million will be a revolving credit facility, upon
consummation of the Chapter 11 cases.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company&#146;s
liquidity generally depends on cash provided by operating activities and our GE
Commercial Finance credit facility. The ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern depends, among other things, on: (i) the Company&#146;s ability to
maintain adequate cash on hand; (ii) the Company&#146;s ability to generate cash
from operations; (iii) the duration and outcome of the recapitalization
process; and (iv) the Company&#146;s ability to achieve profitability following a
recapitalization. Such conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company&#146;s
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company, in conjunction with its
advisors, is implementing strategies to provide adequate liquidity for the
Company. However, there can be no assurance as to the success of such efforts.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Operating activities for the first three
months of fiscal 2005 used $872 of cash, which was the result of a net loss
before depreciation and other non-cash charges of $9,257, partially offset by
cash provided by changes in working capital of $8,385. The most significant
contributor to the positive working capital movement was the $13,144 increase
in accounts payable and accrued expenses.&#160;
This increase is due to a combination of factors such as the
re-establishment of credit terms with major suppliers, bankruptcy court orders
delaying the payment of pre-petition debt and an increase in accrued interest
on the Company&#146;s senior debt.</font></p>

charged for its products. When market conditions allow, price adjustments are
made to reflect changes in demand or product costs due to fluctuations in the
costs of materials and labor and inflation. The costs of raw materials make up
a significant portion of the Company&#146;s costs and have historically fluctuated.
It cannot be assumed, however, that future market conditions will support any
correlation between raw material cost fluctuations and finished product films
pricing.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Some
of the end-use markets for OPP films are seasonal. For example, demand in the
snack food, soft drink and candy markets is generally higher in the spring and
summer. As a result, sales and net income are generally higher in the Company&#146;s
second and third fiscal quarters, although actual results can be influenced by
numerous factors, such as raw material costs, competitive prices and other
factors mentioned in this quarterly report.</font></p>

for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance.&#160; SFAS 123(R) will require compensation costs
related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial
statements (with limited exceptions).&#160; The
amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value
of the equity or liability instruments issued.&#160;
Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee
provides service in exchange for the award.&#160;
This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or
annual reporting period that begins after June&nbsp;15, 2005.&#160; The Company is currently evaluating the
impact from this standard on its results of operations and financial position.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In January&nbsp;2003,
the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (&#147;FIN&#148;) 46, &#147;Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.&#148;&#160; FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business
enterprises of variable interest entities.&#160;
The FASB then issued FIN 46R, &#147;Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities,&#148; which replaced FIN 46.&#160;
Application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public
entities that have interests in variable interest entities or potential
variable interest entities commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for
periods ending after December&nbsp;15, 2003.&#160;
Application by public entities for all other types of entities is
required in financial statements for periods ending after March&nbsp;15,
2004.&#160; The Company has adopted both FIN
46 and FIN 46R, and their adoption had no impact on the Company&#146;s financial
position or results of operations.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In May 2003, the
FASB issued SFAS 150, &#147;Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.&#148;&#160; This Statement establishes standards for how
an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity.&#160;
It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is
within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances).&#160; This Statement is effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is
effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June&nbsp;15,
2003.&#160; The Company adopted the provisions
of SFAS 150, including the deferral of certain effective dates as a result of
the provisions of FASB Staff Position 150-3, &#147;Effective Date, Disclosures, and
Transition for Mandatory Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic
Entities and Certain Mandatory Redeemable Non-controlling Interests Under FASB
Statement No. 150, &#145;Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with

Accounting Policies</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Company&#146;s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company
evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue
recognition, bad debts, inventories, and intangible assets. Estimates and
judgments are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may
differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies
affect its more significant estimates and judgments used in preparation of its
consolidated financial statements.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

Recognition.</font></i>&#160;
Revenue is recognized on product sales at the point in time when
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and
determinable, delivery has occurred and there is reasonable assurance of
collection of the sales proceeds.&#160; The
Company generally obtains purchase authorizations from its customers for a
specified amount of product at a specified price with delivery terms at the
point of shipment.&#160; While the Company
does provide its customers with a right of return, revenue is not
deferred.&#160; Rather, a reserve for sales
returns is provided in accordance with SFAS No. 48 based on significant
historical experience.&#160; Shipping and
handling costs are treated as a reduction of sales in determining net sales.</p>

Valuation.</font></i>&#160;
Asset valuation includes assessing the recorded value of certain assets,
including accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant and equipment, goodwill,
and intangible assets.&#160; Asset valuation
is governed by various accounting principles, including SFAS No. 144 &#147;Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets&#148;, SFAS No. 141 &#147;Business
Combinations&#148;, SFAS No. 142 &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets&#148; and
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, among others.&#160; Management uses a variety of factors to
assess valuation depending on the asset.&#160;
For example, accounts receivable are evaluated based upon an aging
schedule.&#160; The recoverability of inventories
is based primarily upon the age of inventory held and market conditions.&#160; Property, plant and equipment, intangible and
other assets are evaluated utilizing various factors, including the expected </p>

asset will be utilized and forecasted cash flows.&#160; Changes in judgments on any of these factors
could impact the value of the asset.&#160; Due
to the decline in the Company&#146;s market value as a result of the prepackaged
Chapter 11 filing, a full impairment of goodwill of $9,874 was recognized in
fiscal 2004.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Concentrations
of Credit Risk.</font></i>&#160;
Financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk
consist primarily of trade receivables.&#160;
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers&#146;
financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its
customers.&#160; The Company&#146;s allowance for
doubtful accounts is calculated based primarily upon historical bad debt
experience and current market conditions.&#160;
Over the past five years, annual bad debt expense has averaged
approximately $750 and ranged from $400 in fiscal 2001 to $1,713 in fiscal
2002.&#160; The significant financial
deterioration of any significant customers, including a filing for bankruptcy,
could impact their ability to satisfy their receivables with the Company.&#160; While we believe our allowance for bad debts
at December&nbsp;31, 2004 of $1,478 is adequate, an unanticipated increase in
customer bankruptcies or other financial difficulties would require the Company
to increase its provision for bad debts and ultimately increase its allowance
for future bad debts.</p>

and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost
determined using a weighted average-cost method.&#160; The Company determines the market value of
its raw ingredients, finished product and packaging inventories based upon
references to current market prices for such items as of the end of each
reporting period and records a write down of inventory cost to market, when
applicable.&#160; Polypropylene, the Company&#146;s
major raw material, is petroleum based, and prices can fluctuate significantly;
and, as discussed above, increases in raw material prices cannot always be
passed on to customers.&#160; Additionally,
from time to time, the Company has been able to utilize secondary markets to
liquidate excess inventories.&#160; If raw
material prices were to increase and the Company were unable to raise its
prices or if the Company&#146;s ability to liquidate excess inventories was
significantly diminished, additional inventory write-downs may be necessary.</p>

Cost Over Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired.</font></i>&#160; The excess of cost over fair value of net
assets acquired (goodwill) is evaluated annually for impairment in accordance
with SFAS 142.&#160; We have one reporting
unit and estimate fair value based on a variety of market factors, including
discounted cash flow analysis, market capitalization, and other market-based
data.&#160;&#160; As indicated in Note 9 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements, a full impairment of our goodwill
balance of $9,874 was recognized in fiscal 2004.&#160; This impairment was necessitated by the
circumstances surrounding the Company&#146;s plan to recapitalize its senior notes

to the condensed consolidated financial statements.</p>

relating to the processing of routine and non-routine transactions were
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in
its reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and
communicated to the Company&#146;s management, including its principal executive
