The Board of Directors of                                            20 May 2003
Technoplast Industries Ltd.

Dear Sirs:

Re:     Review of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated
        Financial Statements for the three month period ended 31 March 2003

At your request, we have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated balance
sheet of TECHNOPLAST INDUSTRIES LIMITED and its subsidiaries as at 31 March
2003, the condensed consolidated profit and loss accounts, condensed statements
of recognised gains and losses, condensed statements of changes in shareholders'
equity and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three
month period then ended.

Our review was conducted in accordance with procedures prescribed by the
Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel and included, inter alia,
reading the said financial statements, reading the minutes of the shareholders'
meetings and of the meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees, as
well as making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters.

We did not review the financial statements of certain subsidiaries, whose assets
as at 31 March 2003 constitute approximately 38% of total consolidated assets
and whose revenues for the three month period approximately 35% of total
consolidated revenues.  In addition, the data presented in the consolidated
financial statements, which relate to the equity value of the investments and to
the equity of the Company in the results of affiliated companies are based on
financial statements that were audited by other auditors.

Since the review performed is limited in scope and does not constitute an audit
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we do not express an
opinion on the condensed financial statements.

During the performance of our review, including reading review reports of other
subsidiaries as stated above, nothing came to our attention that would
necessitate any material modifications to the condensed financial statements
referred to above in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and in accordance with Section D of the Securities
Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

                  NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





NOTE 1    -    GENERAL

1.       Company activities

Technoplast Industries Limited (hereafter - the Company) is a public company
engaged in the manufacture and marketing of plastic products.  It has two
plants, located in Barkan and Migdal Ha'emek.



On 15 October, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company decided to merge the
Company's production operation in order to cut costs.  To further this end, it
was decided to shut down production at the Barkan plant and transfer its
machinery to the plant in Migdal HaEmek.



As at 31 March 2003, the Company had a working capital deficit that amounted to
NIS 32 million and the group's consolidated operating capital amounted to NIS 57
million.  As at 31 March 2003, the group had an accumulated loss of NIS 63
million.  The group concluded the period under report with a negative cash flow
from current operations in the amount of NIS 2.9 million.



During the period under report, the Company continued the implementation of its
rehabilitation plan which was begun toward the end of 2001.  The plan is based
on three components:  expanding its marketing efforts into new markets and
broadening its basket of products; streamlining its operations by reducing
direct costs, and by cutting back on overhead.  During the past few months, the
marketing network has been expanded in Europe, the U.S. and Israel, and more
products have been added to the Company's product line (mainly the new products,
the rights to which were transferred from Z.A.G.).  In addition, reductions were
carried out in manpower and in management salaries, and an operating efficiency
plan was drafted and put into effect.  As part of this plan, the Company's
operations at the Barkan plant will be shut down, as above.



In the year 2002, the Company signed an agreement whereby it put a floating
charge in favor of one of the banks, and a fixed charge on its building and
property in Migdal Haemek and a first pledge on its building and property in
Barkan.  These charges guarantee the expansion of the Company's credit framework
at one of the banks.



Concurrently, the Company is continuing its negotiations with the banks to
expand its credit framework and to reschedule the repayment dates of its
long-term loans.



Further to a letter the Company received from one of its banks, that demanded
the immediate repayment of its entire indebtedness to the bank (in an amount of
NIS 4.7 million), this bank informed the Company during May 2003, that it agrees
to the Company's request to postpone the immediate repayments of the long-term
loans.  The bank withdrew its demand, and agreed that the loans will be repaid
commencing at the end of 2003.  In addition, this bank agreed in principal, to
join the inter-bank agreement between the Company and the other banks.



Company management believes that the measures it has taken, including obtaining
arrangements with the banks pertaining to the rescheduling of repayment dates of
the loans and the bank loans mentioned in the preceding paragraph, will enable
it to continue its business operations in an orderly fashion with a normal cash
flow.

                  NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





NOTE 5    -    IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In 2001, the Israeli Accounting Standards Board issued Standard No. 12, "
Discontinuance of Adjusting Financial Statements for Inflation".  In December
2002, the Board approved Standard No. 17, "Postponement of the Cessation of the
Adjustment of Financial Statements".  According to Standard No. 12 and Standard
No. 17, financial statements will no longer be adjusted for changes in the
general purchasing power of the Israeli currency, commencing on January 1, 2004.
  Until December 31, 2003, the Company will continue to prepare its financial
statements in accordance with Opinion No. 36 of the Institute of Certified
Public Accountants in Israel.  The adjusted values to be presented in the
financial statements as of December 31, 2003 will serve as the basis for the
nominal financial reporting commencing on January 1, 2004.



The Company implemented for the first time during the reported period Standard
No. 14 of the Israeli Accounting Standards Board, Financial Reporting for
Interim Periods.  This standard replaced Opinion No. 43 of the Institute of
Certified Public Accountants in Israel.  Disclosure of information pertaining to
segmental data appears in Note 7, below.
