DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE None EXHIBIT INDEX is located at Page 32 PART I Item 1. Description of Business. General. PVC Container Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on June 14, 1968. The Company's major business activity is the manufacture and sale of plastic bottles and containers made primarily from high-density polyethylene ("HDPE"), polypropylene ("PP"), polyethylene terephthalate ("PET"), and polyvinyl chloride ("PVC") resins. Some of the HDPE bottles are fluorinated to improve the chemical resistance and barrier properties of the containers. The Company's plastic bottle business also produces for small volume, high tolerance technical blow molded containers. The Company sells and markets its plastic bottles utilizing two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Novapak Corporation and Airopak Corporation. Novapak sells a general line of plastic bottles to the personal care, food, toner copier containers, medical diagnostic equipment and household chemical markets. Airopak sells a line of fluorinated containers primarily to the lawn and garden and industrial chemical markets. The Company operates in two reportable business segments: Plastic Containers and PVC Compounds. Of the Company's fiscal 2004 net sales, approximately 84% were derived from the Plastic Containers segment and approximately 16% were derived from the Compound segment. For additional financial information relating to the Company's reportable business segments, see Note 11 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, which are presented elsewhere in this Annual Report. PVC compounds are consumed by the Company to manufacture some of the Company's plastic bottles. These PVC compounds are produced and sold through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Novatec Plastics Corporation, Inc. Novatec also manufactures a diverse range of rigid PVC compounds for non-bottle applications ("specialty compounds"), sold to manufacturers of plastic injection molded and extruded products for use in products such as fencing, furniture edgebanding, electrical wiring devices, and electronic housings. Sales. The Company's plastic bottles are sold primarily to manufacturers of personal care products, food, household chemicals, and lawn and garden and industrial chemical products, private label manufacturers of similar products, and to bottle distributors who sell to such manufacturers. PVC compounds are consumed internally or sold to other plastic manufacturers. A limited amount of the company's total sales is made through commissioned sales representatives. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's net sales. Sales of the Company's plastic bottles and PVC bottle compounds have accounted for most of the Company's net income; sales of specialty compounds to non-bottle customers have accounted for the remainder of the Company's net income. Plastic bottles are offered in food grade and non-food grade materials, fluorinated or non-fluorinated, in clear and opaque colors and in a range of sizes from one ounce to 225 ounces. The Company produces plastic bottles utilizing its own molds in proprietary company designs ("stock bottles") and also produces on a contractual basis plastic bottles in molds owned by the customer, utilizing the customer's designs and specifications. The sale of plastic bottles is generally a "regional" business. The majority of the Company's customers are within a 300-mile radius of the Company's manufacturing plants. Freight costs restrict shipping bulky plastic bottles long distances, although customers are willing to pay freight for specialty bottles of a unique design or fluorinated containers that are not available from local manufacturers. In contrast, the Company's PVC compounds, which are sold in the form of plastic pellets 2 and are denser than plastic bottles, can be shipped throughout the continental United States and Canada and tend to be more of a "national" business. The Company's business is usually characterized by low customer demand during the months of July and August and the last half of December because buyers' plants often shut down during those periods. Some of the markets in which the Company sells are seasonal, such as Airopak's primary markets of lawn, garden, and agricultural chemicals. These markets are characterized by high demand in the period of December through June and low demand from July through November of each year. Manufacturing Operations. The Company utilizes two basic processes to manufacture its plastic bottles - extrusion blow molding ("EBM") and injection stretch blow molding ("ISBM"). Plastic bottles made from HDPE, PP, or PVC resins are manufactured using the EBM process. EBM involves melting the plastic resins in an extruder and forming a plastic tube or parison that is placed inside a two- piece blow mold. The mold then closes and clamps around the tube and the tube is blown (inflated) with compressed air against the walls of the mold, forming the bottle to the shape of the mold. Some of the EBM production also incorporates proprietary technology to manufacture fluorinated HDPE plastic bottles. The Company's PET bottles are manufactured using a two-step ISBM process. This process involves injection molding PET resins into a parison called a preform. These PET preforms are then used in a separate blow molding machine, where they are re-heated and blown into bottles, also utilizing a blow mold. The Company also provides a variety of value added services such as bottle decoration. The Company's decorating capabilities include automatic silk screening for multiple color applications, pressure sensitive paper and plastic film labels, and therimage heat transfer labeling. The Company operates plastic bottle manufacturing and warehousing facilities in Hazleton, Pennsylvania; Paris, Illinois; Manchester, Pennsylvania; Walterboro, South Carolina; Philmont, New York; and Kingston, New York. However, the Company has transferred most of the personnel and equipment from its Kingston, New York plant to its Philmont, New York facility and converted the Kingston plant to a warehouse. As indicated under "Properties", the Kingston facility is currently being offered for sale. A description of the Company's plastic bottle facilities are set forth below in Item 2 entitled "Properties." The Company manufactures plastic compounds utilizing a two-stage process consisting of mixing a powder blend of various resins and other ingredients in an intensive mixer, and then melting the powder in a compounding extrusion system for pelletizing the final plastic compound products into pellets. Four compounding lines are located in a facility in Eatontown, New Jersey, which began operations in 1982. Occasionally, the Company will purchase small amounts of PVC bottle compounds produced by others for use in manufacturing plastic bottles where customers specify a competing material, but otherwise the capacity of the Company's PVC compounding facility is more than adequate to supply the Company's current requirements. The Company uses its excess PVC compounding capacity to produce PVC bottle compounds and specialty compounds for sale to other plastic processors of PVC bottles and other manufacturers. A description of the Company's compound facility is set forth below in Item 2 entitled "Properties". Raw Materials. Since 1982, the Company has manufactured most of the PVC compounds the Company uses to manufacture plastic bottles. The major ingredients of PVC compounds are PVC resins (approximately 85%) and MBS (methacrylate-butadiene-styrene) impact modifiers 3 (approximately 12%). The balance of the ingredients are heat stabilizers, lubricants, processing aids, and toners (pigments). These materials are readily available from various suppliers. The other raw materials used to manufacture plastic bottles are primarily HDPE, PP and PET. The Company believes it is not dependent upon any single supplier for these major raw materials. The Company relies on multi-year supply contracts for the purchase of these raw materials, and believes it will be able to purchase sufficient quantities in the foreseeable future. The cost of the raw materials the Company uses is directly affected by the cost of petroleum. Accordingly, any increases in the costs of petroleum, such as the increases that have occurred over the last (two) years, increase the cost of the raw materials that the Company uses. Additionally, a shortage of petroleum, should it develop, would have a negative effect on the availability and the cost of the raw materials the Company uses. The availability and price of resins has a direct effect on the Company's business. Although sufficient PVC, HDPE, PP, and PET resins are currently available for the Company's operations, no assurance can be given that an adequate supply of plastic resins will be available to the Company in the future. Moreover, the cost of resin can vary, and may have a material impact on the business. The Company has in the past been able to recover the amount of resin price increases by increasing the sales price of its plastic bottles; however, any inability to raise prices in the future or the rising cost of petroleum, which has recently reached unprecedented levels could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial results. Prices for PVC as well as HDPE, PP and PET resins are mostly dependent upon the supply and demand of specific plastic resins as well as their monomers and their feedstocks. See "Competition & Marketing" below. Inventory. Depending upon the level of demand and scheduling requirements for the Company's products, the Company maintains on average 4-6 weeks of plastic bottles finished goods inventory and approximately 2-3 weeks of plastic compound finished goods inventory. From time to time, depending upon the prices and availability of raw materials, the Company will pre-buy or increase inventory of raw materials from a normal 2-3 week supply to up to a two-month supply in order to offset anticipated price increases. During peak sales periods, it is sometimes necessary to store inventory of the Company's products and raw materials in outside warehousing. Backlog. Generally, the Company's backlog of unfilled orders ranges from approximately four to six weeks. The amount of unfilled orders was approximately $9,000,000 at June 30, 2004 and 2003. There can be no assurance that cancellations, rejections and returns will not reduce the amount of sales realized from the backlog of orders. Competition and Marketing. The Company believes it is one of approximately thirty manufacturers of plastic bottles in the United States, one of at least five manufacturers of PVC bottle compounds and one of at least five manufacturers of specialty compounds for use in the Company's targeted markets of fencing, furniture, edgebanding, electrical wiring devices, and electronic housings. The dominant manufacturers of plastic bottles are Owens-Illinois, Inc. and Silgan Corp. The dominant manufacturers of PVC bottle compounds and PVC specialty compounds are PolyOne Corporation and Georgia Gulf Corporation. The Company's sales volume, production capacity, and consumption of PVC resin are small compared to its competitors. The Company's major PVC compound competitors are large, integrated petrochemical companies with greater financial resources than the Company. Many of these competitors also manufacture PVC resin. The Company principally competes in the plastic bottle market on the basis of quality, customer service, and competitive pricing. The Company believes it produces a relatively high quality product in a timely manner in accordance with customer specifications and requirements, with a high 4 level of customer service. Management believes that these constitute the primary areas in which the Company can compete with others in the same industry. The Company sometimes purchases its supply of PVC resin from its PVC compound competitors. This has, at times, made it difficult to obtain adequate supplies of PVC resin and has enabled competitors to increase PVC resin costs charged to the Company, leading to reduced profit margins on PVC bottle compound. However, profit margins on PVC specialty compounds remain strong because the Company faces less price competition. The market for PVC bottles and PVC bottle compounds has declined somewhat during the past several years due to industry concern over solid waste issues. See "Environmental Regulation" below for a further discussion of solid waste issues. Industry demand for PVC bottles and compounds are, however, currently stable. The demand for PVC specialty compounds for use in the Company's targeted markets is experiencing modest growth. The Company believes that competition in the area of PVC bottle compounds will remain intense during the foreseeable future because of excess PVC bottle compound manufacturing capacity and because PVC bottle compound buyers are increasingly concerned about price and less concerned about quality and service. In this respect, PVC bottle compound resembles a commodity business. This trend may inhibit the Company from further expanding its share of the PVC bottle compound market. In response to these pressures in the PVC bottle compound market, the Company is engaged in an ongoing effort to develop specialty compounds for a diverse range of manufacturers. The Company believes that these specialty compound markets will be less sensitive to wide swings in the cost of PVC resin and may be more influenced by the performance, quality, and service that are characteristic of a specialty business. In particular, the Company is marketing injection molding PVC compound for use in the communications, electronics, and appliance markets, and extrusion compounds for use in indoor and outdoor molding and other specialty "profile" markets. The Company believes its technical, marketing, and manufacturing capability in the plastic bottle market is equal to that of its major competitors in small to midsize volume applications in its region, particularly in the toiletry, cosmetic and household chemical product markets. The Company further believes its technical and marketing ability is equal to that of its major competitors in the PVC compound markets in its region. The Company's manufacturing capability for the PVC compound markets are limited by its lack of a facility to produce PVC resin. PVC competes with PET as a material used to manufacture clear or transparent plastic bottles. Over the past several years, use of PET in the clear plastic bottle market has increased, especially in high volume food, personal care and household chemical markets. Because of this trend, the Company has made substantial investments in ISBM technology. PET bottles now represent a significant portion of the Company's plastic bottle business. PVC bottles still represent a niche market for the Company because these bottles are still preferred in many small and mid-range volume applications, including bottles requiring an integral handle, which cannot be manufactured in PET. Research and Development. The Company spent approximately $323,000, $290,000 and $263,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, on research activities relating to the development of new designs of containers and the production of compounds. The major thrust of the Company's research and development efforts is currently in the area of new PVC compound development. 5 Environmental Regulation. The Company does not believe that compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of material into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has had or will have any material effect upon its capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. However, the future of PVC as a material for packaging foods has been threatened by the unwillingness of the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to implement standards with regard to levels of residual vinyl chloride monomer ("VCM") acceptable for food packaging. Although the FDA's proposed levels of VCM are expected to be easily attainable by the Company's industry, the FDA has been precluded from issuing the standards by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). The EPA is insisting that a new environmental impact statement be developed prior to promulgating new standards. The EPA's concern is that the adoption of the FDA's new regulations will stimulate additional demand for PVC bottles and, hence, add to the PVC in the waste stream. The Society of Plastics Industry ("SPI") and Vinyl Institute ("VI"), which represent the PVC industry on this issue, estimate that it will take several years to complete an acceptable environmental impact statement. In addition, because it is also a supplier of a primary raw material, the Company may have to comply with existing EPA regulations with respect to the emission of VCM into the environment and regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration regarding material safety. Solid waste disposal and mandatory recycling have become major environmental issues with respect to plastic packaging in general. There are also concerns over the incineration of PVC compounds, which allegedly result in hydrochloric acid and dioxin emissions. Further, several states have proposed bans of certain plastics, including PVC packaging materials, but no bans have been implemented yet. Industry lobbyists have supported state legislation promoting the recycling of plastics. The Company is currently implementing a program that is mandatory in certain states of placing a recycling code on the bottom of most bottles eight ounces in capacity or larger. The Company believes that the threat of further regulatory actions inhibiting the future growth of PVC as a viable packaging material will be minimal, although no assurances can be given that further regulatory actions, or the threat of further regulatory action, would not have a negative impact on the Company's business. Employees. As of June 30, 2004, the Company employed 34 people at its executive office located at 2 Industrial Way West, Eatontown, New Jersey. The Company occupies approximately 9,300 square feet of executive offices under a lease for a term of ten years commencing on January 1, 1999. Monthly rental is $15,500 until December 31, 2004, then $16,275 until December 31, 2006, and then $17,050 until the end of the term. As of June 30, 2004, the Company employed 50 people at the Novatec facility in Eatontown, New Jersey; 122 people in the manufacturing facility in Hazleton, Pennsylvania; 131 people at the Paris, Illinois facility; 10 people at the Walterboro, S.C. facility; 87 people at Airopak Corporation in the Manchester, Pennsylvania facility; 171 people at the Philmont, New York facility and a total of 8 people at the Kingston, New York facility. The Company renewed the collective bargaining agreement with Local 108 of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, AFL-CIO, effective September 1, 2003 until August 31, 2006 relating only to employees of Novatec. The Company considers its relations with its work force and the union to be good. 6 Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales The Company had export sales of $4,391,000, $5,348,000 and $6,120,000 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, net sales to the northeast of the United States amounted to $36,745,000, net sales to the midwest of the United States amounted to $41,176,000, net sales to the southeast of the United States amounted to $7,350,000, and net sales to other domestic regions amounted to $8,085,000.

10 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following information should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. GENERAL To prepare our financial statements, management must make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On a continuous basis, management reviews its estimates, including those related to returns, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, and long lived assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates as conditions may vary from those we anticipated. Critical Accounting Policies Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. Bad Debt The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers' failure to make mandatory payments. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to erode, making them unable to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Inventory Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method. The Company provides reserves for estimated obsolescence of its inventory at an amount determined by assessing future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions deteriorate, additional inventory reserves may be required. Any change to the reserve is reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made. Revenue recognition We recognize revenue when products are shipped to our customers. Sales are shown net of returns, allowances and discounts. The Company's policy is to reserve for returns once it has knowledge of the return. The change in product returns, allowances and cash discounts between fiscal 2004 and 2003 reflects an increase of $188,000, and a decrease of $293,000 between fiscal 2003 and 2002. The increase is consistent with the increase in revenues, cash discount policy and customer incentive programs. The decrease is a result of changes to customer incentive programs. Income Taxes The Company records the estimated future tax effects of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss carry-forwards, if any. We follow specific guidelines regarding the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide any necessary allowances as required. 11 A reconciliation of the income tax provision and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to earnings before income taxes is as follows:

The change in the effective tax rate from 2003 to 2004 is primarily attributed to the decrease in pre tax income, while the amount of meals, entertainment and other permanent differences remained consistent from year to year. The change in the effective tax rate from 2002 to 2003 is primarily attributed to the annual amortization of goodwill which was no longer required in 2003. Operating Performance In the discussion of the Company's result of operations that follows, the Company presents EBITDA, which it defines as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information to investors because management uses EBITDA to assess our operating performance. Additionally, management believes that EBITDA is a measurement widely used in the Company's industry and accordingly provides this information to allow investors to analyze our performance relative to its competitors. However, EBITDA is not a measurement of operating performance computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure of performance as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation from net income (loss) to EBITDA.

12 Results of Operations FISCAL 2004 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2003 The Company's net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 were $97,747,000, an increase of approximately 8.1% from the fiscal 2003 total of $90,433,000. This increase in revenue reflects an increase in revenue in both our plastic bottle and compound segments. The increase in the plastic bottle segment reflects a 32.4% growth in PET bottle sales resulting from the Company's continued innovations in PET blow molding technology, in an effort to expand its market share for this line of business. However, this growth was offset by a 4.7% decrease in general line HDPE and PVC extrusion blown bottle sales. Also, the Company's fluorinated specialty bottle business had strong growth of 7.4%. Our plastic compound segment also achieved an 8.3% sales growth due to an overall stronger demand for PVC compounds. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 80.6% in fiscal 2004 from 79.0% in fiscal 2003. The increase in cost of goods sold was caused primarily by increased raw material costs, and unabsorbed direct labor and factory overhead costs for the temporary loss of productivity due to the integration of equipment and personnel transferred from our Kingston, New York facility to our Philmont, New York facility. With other cost increases anticipated, we are dedicated to increased emphasis on cost containment, strategic sourcing, reduction in manufacturing overhead and better manufacturing yields. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $10,694,000, or 10.9% of net sales, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $9,615,000, or 10.6% of net sales, for fiscal 2003. SG&A expenses have increased and are mainly attributed to increased computer services, professional fees associated with the potential sale of the Company (a proposed transaction that has now been abandoned) and consulting fees related to operational improvements. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $241,000 from fiscal 2003, primarily associated with new capital equipment in our PET bottle line. The annual amortization of goodwill which would have approximately $293,000 is no longer required in 2004 as a result of adopting FASB Statement No. 142, effective July 1, 2002. The Company recorded a $476,000 pre-tax charge for restructuring and loss on the sale of its Ardmore, Oklahoma facility. The restructuring involved the transfer of most of the personnel and equipment from the Kingston, New York facility to the Philmont, New York plant and conversion of the Kingston facility to a warehouse. EBITDA decreased from approximately $9,444,000 in fiscal 2003 to $8,051,000 in fiscal 2004. This entire decrease was a result of the Company plastic container segment's higher raw material costs, unabsorbed direct labor and factory overhead costs for the temporary loss of productivity due to the integration of equipment and the transfer of personnel from our Kingston, New York facility to our Philmont, New York facility, as well as professional fees that were incurred for assistance in implementing operational improvements. Income from operations for fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 decreased to $1,555,000, or 1.6% of net sales, compared to $3,340,000, or 3.7% of net sales, in fiscal 2003 due to reasons discussed above. 13 Net interest expense decreased $78,000 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. This net decrease is mainly attributed to lower interest rates and reduction in debt. Other income represents the profit generated on the sale of various production equipment taken out of service during fiscal 2004. Net loss for fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was $65,000 or $.01 per diluted share compared to a profit of $873,000 or $.12 per diluted share for fiscal 2003 due to factors discussed above. FISCAL 2003 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2002 The Company's net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, were $90,433,000, an increase of approximately 8% from the fiscal 2002 total of $84,076,000. The increase in revenue reflects an 11% increase in plastic bottle sales, offset by a 6% decrease in merchant compounds. Growth in plastic bottle sales benefited from strong demand for PET bottles by 27% resulting from the Company's recent innovations in PET blow molding technology. In addition, the Company's fluorinated specialty bottle business also had strong growth of 19%. Although PVC compound revenue declined, sales actually increased by 7% on a unit volume basis, primarily because the Company engaged in more "toll manufacturing" in fiscal 2003 than in fiscal 2002. In toll manufacturing, the Company uses customer-provided raw materials and collects only conversion costs and profit. Our Novatec plastic compound business experienced an overall weaker demand for rigid PVC compounds during this past fiscal year. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 79.0% in fiscal 2003 from 77.3% in fiscal 2002. The cost of virtually all plastic resins used in both the bottle and compound businesses increased dramatically, exacerbated by the turmoil in the energy markets as a result of political events in the Middle East. This has had an adverse effect on all areas of the Company's business, but particularly our PVC compounding business. Start-up expenses associated with the addition of new capacity in our PET bottle line also contributed to the higher cost of goods sold. SG&A expenses were $9,615,000, or 10.6% of net sales, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, as compared to $9,934,000, or 11.8% of net sales, for fiscal 2002. SG&A expenses have decreased primarily due to improved monitoring of accounts receivable. This monitoring reduced the Company's exposure to uncollectible accounts and, accordingly, its provision for bad debts. Depreciation and amortization expense for fiscal 2003 decreased by $409,000 primarily because of certain manufacturing assets becoming fully depreciated in fiscal 2003. The annual amortization of goodwill which would have approximately $293,000 is no longer required in 2003 as a result of adopting FASB Statement No. 142, effective July 1, 2002. EBITDA increased from approximately $9,229,000 in fiscal 2002 to approximately $9,444,000 in fiscal 2003. Performance improvements in the Company's plastic container segment raised EBITDA by approximately $838,000, but this increase was offset by a decrease of $623,000 in the performance of the Novatec Plastics division, mainly due to higher raw material costs. Income from operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, increased to $3,340,000, or 3.7% of net sales, compared to $2,726,000, or 3.2% of net sales, in fiscal 2002. 14 Net interest expense decreased $244,000 during fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. This net decrease is mainly attributable to lower interest rates. Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, increased to $873,000, or $.12 per diluted share, compared to $261,000, or $.04 per diluted share, for fiscal 2002 due to factors discussed above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Because management generally does not monitor liquidity and capital resources on a segment basis, this discussion is presented on a consolidated basis. Cash flow from operations during fiscal 2004 totaled $5,829,000, representing an increase of $934,000 from the prior fiscal year. Cash flow from operations was favorably impacted by improved inventory management and timing of income tax payments. Cash used for accounts receivable, net of allowances, during fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was $2,502,000, an increase of $2,315,000 from the prior fiscal period. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company generated net cash from operating activities and additional long-term debt in the amount of $8,361,000. These funds were primarily used to acquire capital assets of $4,611,000, to reduce long-term debt by $3,763,000, and to reduce borrowings under our revolving credit line by $594,000. Capital expenditures decreased by $1,151,000 to $4,611,000 during fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $5,762,000 during fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. This decrease is mainly attributed to the initial entry into the PET product line, which required new equipment and start up expenses during fiscal year 2003. The Company's liquidity position and working capital remained adequate for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2004. Net working capital decreased to $13,796,000 from $14,351,000 as at June 30, 2003. The current ratio of assets to liabilities decreased from 2.0 at June 30, 2003 to 1.8 at June 30, 2004. This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable. The Company's Midwest facility, located in Ardmore, Oklahoma, reflected in the June 30, 2003 balance sheet in the amount of $262,000, plus $36,000 cost of land, was sold below fair value during the fourth quarter of 2004. The Company recorded a loss of $122,000, which is included in provision for restructuring and other exit activities. The Company's short-term liquidity and short-term capital resources are projected to be adequate to allow the Company to continue to meet its financial obligations. The Company believes the financial resources available to it, including internally generated funds and borrowing under its revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet foreseeable working capital requirements. At June 30, 2004, the Company had unused sources of liquidity consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $366,000 and unused credit under a revolving credit facility of $10,238,000. 15 The Company's revolving credit facility includes financial and other covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum equity covenant and a fixed charge coverage covenant. As of June 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under its revolving credit facility. The Company utilizes its revolving loan facilities for seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes. Amounts available under the Company's revolving loan facilities in excess of its seasonal working capital needs are available to pursue the Company's growth strategy and for other permitted purposes. There were no material changes during the twelve months ended June 30, 2004 in the contractual obligations presented in the consolidated financial statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company does not have any material off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition. Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments As of June 30, 2004, the Company is party to notes payable, working capital lines and various operating leases. These contractual obligations and other commercial commitments are summarized below. The Company has no other contractual obligations or commercial commitments as of June 30, 2004.

16 Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). FIN 46 is the interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and became effective for the Company for periods ending after March 15, 2004 for variable interest entities in which it holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have any impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 149). This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133). The Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Certain provisions of this statement relating to FAS 133 implementation issues that have been effective for prior fiscal quarters will continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FAS 149 will have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December of 2003, the FASB revised Statement No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This statement, as revised, retains the disclosure requirements of the original statement, which it replaces, and requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of denied benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The annual financial statement disclosures are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements in this report that are not reported financial results or other historical information are "forward-looking statements" and within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. They are based on management's expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance or results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; and financial results. There are risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in these forward-looking statements. In particular, 17 unanticipated changes in the economic, competitive, governmental, technological, marketing or other factors identified in this report and in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause such results to differ materially and could include, but are not limited to, changes in U.S., regional or world polymer growth rates affecting the Company's markets; changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online in the polyvinyl chloride or other industries in which the Company participates; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply, in particular fluctuations outside the normal range of industry cycles; and an inability to raise prices or sustain price increases for products. The Company cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although it believes that management has been prudent in its plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear in mind as they consider forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commissions. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Market risks relating to the Company's operations result primarily from changes in interest rates. Interest rate pricing transactions are used only to the extent considered necessary to meet our objectives. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. Interest Rate Risk The Company's interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on its net income and cash flow and to lower its overall borrowing cost. The Company manages our exposure to interest rate fluctuations with variable rate swap agreements, which effectively convert interest rate exposure from variable rates to fixed rates of interest. The Company has entered into these agreements with banks under its senior secured credit facility. Refer to Notes 1 and 5 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements (included elsewhere in this Annual Report), which outline the principal amounts, interest rates, fair values, and other terms required to evaluate the expected cash flows from these agreements. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had total outstanding indebtedness of $28,007,000. Of this amount, the total indebtedness subject to variable interest rates was approximately $20,272,000. Based on the Company's June 30, 2004 variable debt levels, a one quarter percent increase or decrease in interest rates would have had a $51,000 impact on the Company's annual interest expense. 18 Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. See annexed financial statements. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. During the last quarter of fiscal 2004, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Item 9B. Other Information Not applicable PART III Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant. The following table sets forth the directors and executive officers of the Company. Each director holds office until his successor is elected and qualified.

Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% equity holders are required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules to furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file.

PROFIT SHARING SAVINGS PLAN On September 29, 1983, the Board of Directors adopted the PVC Container Corporation Profit Sharing Savings Plan (the "Plan"), which Plan became effective July 1, 1984. The Plan supersedes the 1980 PVC Container Corporation Profit Sharing Pension Plan. All employees of the Company who have completed one year of service and are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement are eligible for participation in the Plan. The Plan has been drafted to comply with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each participating employee can defer from 1% to 6% of his salary into his Plan account, and the Company makes a matching contribution. Such contribution for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was in an amount equal to 25% on the first 6% of the union and non-union employees pre-tax contributions. Contributions are made by the Company on a monthly basis. In addition to matching contributions, the Company, at its option, may make payments based on a percentage of quarterly profits. Such payments can be made directly to or for the Plan account of participating employees and are based on a percentage of the employee's compensation. The Company made discretionary payments during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 of $136,894, which amount includes the 25% and 10% contributions referred to above. All amounts deferred by and paid to executive officers of the Company pursuant to the Plan have been included in "Executive Compensation and Transactions with Management." DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN On June 4, 1986, the Board of Directors approved the establishment of a Deferred Compensation Plan, effective July 1, 1986, under which executives of the Company may defer and accrue for three years a certain amount of the compensation due them. No deferred compensation was accrued as at June 30, 2004. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT William J. Bergen and the Company entered into an employment agreement, effective as of September 2, 2004, pursuant to which Mr. Bergen agreed to serve as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Friedman has resigned from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer effective September 2, 2004. As severance compensation, the Company shall pay Mr. Friedman an amount equal to $710,000. The agreement provides for other benefits to be provided subsequent to December 31, 2004.

The Company has entered into a management agreement with Kirtland Capital Corp., pursuant to which Kirtland Capital Corp. receives $25,000 per month for providing management services to the Company. Mr. Turben is Chairman of Kirtland Capital Corp., and Mr. Nestor is President of Kirtland Capital Corp. Kirtland Capital Corp. is the General Partner of Kirtland Capital Partners II L.P. and Kirtland Capital Company II, which collectively own 63.9% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has established an Audit Committee and adopted an Audit Committee Charter. The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Sherwin (Chairman), Lynch and Nestor. Notwithstanding the management agreement and the ownership of the Company's common stock by Kirtland Capital Partners II L.P. and Kirtland Capital Company II and Mr. Nestor's position with Kirtland Capital Corp. described above, the Company's Board of Directors does not believe that such relationships interfere with the exercise by Mr. Nestor of independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as a director and as a member of the Audit Committee in accordance with Rule 4200(a)(15) of NASD listing standards and that, based upon his considerable business and financial background, his membership on the Audit Committee is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. 27 PART III Item 14.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Board of Directors and Stockholders PVC Container Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PVC Container Corporation as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2004. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 consolidated financial position of PVC Container Corporation at June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles . Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

See accompanying notes. 5 PVC Container Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS PVC Container Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on June 14, 1968. The Company's major business is the manufacture and sale of a line of plastic bottles made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds, high density polyethylene resins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). These bottles are used primarily for packaging cosmetics, toiletries, foods, household chemicals, lawn and garden supplies, and industrial chemical products. The Company produces and sells polyvinyl chloride which is used by the Company or sold to other plastic bottle manufacturers whose products compete with those produced by the Company. Our businesses are based in the United States. CONSOLIDATION The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of PVC Container Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Novatec Plastics Corporation, Novapak Corporation, Airopak Corporation, Marpac Industries Inc., Marpac Southwest, Inc., and PVC Container International Sales Corporation, a foreign sales company incorporated in the U.S. Virgin Islands. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated. CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. DEPRECIATION Depreciation is provided on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized. 6 PVC Container Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) INTANGIBLES Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). Under these rules, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization but is reviewed for potential impairment upon adoption and thereafter annually or upon the occurrence of an impairment indicator. SFAS 142 prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase screens for impairment, while the second phase measures the impairment. The carrying amount of the Company's goodwill is reviewed on a regular basis for any signs of an impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount is impaired based on anticipated cash flows. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows, discounted at a rate commensurate with the associated risk. The Company completed the annual impairment test in fiscal 2004 and passed the first phase of the impairment test; therefore, no further testing was required. The annual amortization of goodwill, which would have approximated $293,000 is no longer required in 2004 or 2003. The following table reflects unaudited adjusted results of operations of the Company giving effect to SFAS 142 as if it were adopted on July 1, 2001.

7 PVC Container Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company grants trade credit to its customers, who are primarily manufacturers of personal care products, food, household chemicals, and lawn and garden and industrial chemical products, and to bottle distributors who sell to such manufacturers. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Sales and accounts receivable from customers are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from individual customers. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers' failure to make mandatory payments. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the product. Sales are shown net of returns, allowances and discounts. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force EITF 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, the Company reports amount billed to customers for shipping and handling fees as sales in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling fees are reported as cost of sales. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS All research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and amounted to $323,000, $290,000 and $263,000, in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations or expected to be disposed of when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and when those assets are expected to generate undiscounted cash flows that would be less than their carrying amounts. 8 PVC Container Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION As permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock option plans. Under APB 25, compensation expense is calculated at the time of option grant based upon the difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant, and is recognized over the vesting period. SFAS 123 requires pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options and warrants ("equity awards") under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of the Company's equity awards was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 2003 and 2002, respectively: risk-free interest rates of approximately 2.4% and 4.1%, expected volatility of 0.6 and 0.4; expected option life equal to the vesting period, and an expected dividend yield of 0.0%. No options were granted in 2004. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common shares for the three fiscal years ended June 30, 2003, as if the Company had applied the fair value method to measure stock-based compensation, required under the disclosure provision of SFAS 123:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Income (loss) per share: Net income (loss) as reported: Basic $ (.01) $ .12 $ .04 Diluted $ (.01) $ .12 $ .04 Pro forma net income (loss) Basic $ (.01) $ .12 $ .04 Diluted $ (.01) $ .12 $ .04

PER SHARE INFORMATION Per share information is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of all such securities. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments on the balance sheets as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, (based upon the exposure being hedged), as either a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. For a derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as cash flow hedge (i.e., hedges the exposure to variability on expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any, is recognized in current earnings to the extent it exceeds the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item. There have been no such gains or losses recorded by the Company. At June 30, 2004, the Company had interest-rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges, that effectively convert approximately $6,008,213 of its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate through August 2005. The interest rate swap agreements hedge the floating interest rate by reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The fair value of the interest-rate swap at June 30, 2004, was approximately $198,000, based upon bank valuation, and is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Losses reported in accumulated, other comprehensive loss, that are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months total approximately $170,000 before taxes. 10 PVC Container Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). FIN 46 is the interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 Consolidated Financial Statements, which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and became effective for the Company for periods ending after March 15, 2004, for variable interest entities in which it holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have any impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 149). This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). The Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Certain provisions of this statement relating to SFAS 133 implementation issues that have been effective for prior fiscal quarters will continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 149 will have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December of 2003, the FASB revised Statement No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This statement, as revised, retains the disclosure requirements of the original statement, which it replaces, and requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The annual financial statement disclosures are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and have been incorporated in Note 7. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

PENSION PLAN On September 1, 1990, the Company instituted a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for all eligible full-time union employees. Benefits are based on years of service. The Company contributes to the plan amounts, actuarially determined by the Unit Credit Actuarial Cost Method, that provides the plan with sufficient assets to meet future benefit payment requirements. The plan's assets are invested principally in short-term investments. The pension plan assets are invested with the objective of being able to meet current and future benefit payment needs, while controlling pension expense volatility and future contributions. Plan assets are diversified between fixed income investments, cash and U.S. equities. The strategic target allocation is 100% fixed income investments. The weighted-average asset allocation for our pension plans at June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was 100% for fixed income securities. The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and the amount recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheet: 16 PVC Container Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 7.

Contributions for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2004 are not available until the next valuation date is completed. In the meantime, a reasonable projection of the minimum contribution for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2004 would be $8,662. To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the current level of expected returns on risk free investments (primarily government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with the other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the portfolio. The measurement date for our pension plan is June 30 of each year. The Company maintains a voluntary salary reduction 40l(k) plan covering all non-union and union employees with more than one year of service. Eligible employees may elect to contribute up to 15% of their salaries on a pre-tax basis and an additional 10% of their salaries on an after-tax basis up to ERISA's maximum annual level. The Company contributes 25% on the first 6% of the union and non-union employees' pre-tax contribution. The Company may make additional discretionary contributions to the plan based on earnings. The Company contributed $136,894, $143,716 and $136,340 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. 8. COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS In 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved and ratified an incentive stock option plan to enable the Company to grant options to purchase up to 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock through the plan's expiration on January 16, 2007.

11. SEGMENTS The Company identifies its segments based upon differences in the types of products each sells. The Company currently has two reportable segments: Plastic Containers and Compound. The Plastic Containers segment manufactures custom designed PET, HDPE, and PVC containers mainly for cosmetics, toiletries, foods, household chemicals, lawn and garden supplies, and industrial chemical products. The Compound segment manufactures PVC compound for internal use and for sale. Our customers use PVC compound for extruded profiles and accessories, furniture, molding and other indoor fixtures, and molded electrical and electronic housings. Both of the Company's segments sell to customers located primarily in the United States. The reportable segments are managed separately because they use different manufacturing processes and serve different markets. The Company evaluates each segment's performance based on profit or loss from operations after income taxes. The accounting policies for the reportable segments are the same as those for the Company (described in Note 1). Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at market prices. Information on segments and a reconciliation to a consolidated total are as follows: 21 PVC Container Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 11. SEGMENTS (continued)
