(6)     Stock Compensation

        The Company accountspreviously disclosed in its financial statements for stock compensation arrangements using the intrinsic valueyear ended December 31, 2003, that it expects to contribute approximately $996,000 to its defined benefit plans in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."

As of March 31, 2004, no contributions have been made, however, the Company has not recognized any expense relatedstill anticipates contributing approximately $996,000 to stock options, as options have only been granted with an exercise price equal to market value of the shares at the date of the grant.

The alternative policyfund its defined benefit pension plans in SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," provides that compensation expense be recognized based on the fair value of the options awarded, determined by an option pricing model. If the Company had recognized compensation expense using the fair value method under SFAS No.123 rather than the APB 25, net income would not have been materially different than reported amounts and earnings per share would be identical for the nine months ended September 20, 2003. In calculating the compensation expense under SFAS No.123, the Company assumes that all options will vest and be exercised at the expiration date of the grant. Other assumptions used in calculating the compensation expense for options granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 include a dividend yield of 2.3 percent, a risk-free interest rate of 3.875 percent and a volatility measure based on the Company's stock beta of .85.2004.

        (con't)

For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company had sales of $185.5 million, an increase of 14 percent from the prior year and net income of $8.9 million, an increase of 23 percent from $7.2 million reported in the first quarter of 2003. Net income per share was $.29, an increase of 21 percent compared with $.24 in the prior year period. On March 10, 2004, the Company acquired ATP Automotive, Inc.(ATP) a manufacturer of molded rubber and plastic products through its subsidiaries Michigan Rubber Products (MRP) and WEK Industries (WEK). On a proforma basis, including the results of the acquired businesses for the full quarter, net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 would have been $197.8 million with net income of $9.3 million or $.31 per share compared with net sales of $178.2 million for the first quarter of 2003 with net income of $7.9 million or $.26 per share.

        The net sales of $185.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 were the highest of any quarter in the Company's history and reflected stronger demand in both the distribution and manufacturing segments. In addition, favorable foreign currency translation increased sales by $6.7 million or 4 percent and contributions from the acquisition of MRP and WEK increased sales by $4.4 million or 3 percent. Without the impact of the favorable foreign currency translation and acquired businesses, net sales would have increased $11.2 million or 7 percent. Sales in the distribution segment increased 18 percent to $37.6

million reflecting higher unit volumes from increased sales to the auto dealer market and strong demand from tire dealers for both equipment and supplies. In the manufacturing segment, sales increased 13 percent to $151.5 million; however, without the impact of foreign currency translation or acquired businesses, sales increased only 5 percent. The increase in manufacturing segment sales was primarily the result of higher volume as the Company experienced positive growth in nearly all of its major markets.

        Cost of sales increased $15.1 million or 14 percent reflecting the higher sales volume as well as increased costs for raw materials compared with the prior year. Gross profit, expressed as a percent of sales, was virtually unchanged at 32.9 percent compared to 33.0 percent in the prior year. In the distribution segment, relatively stable selling prices and costs resulted in consistent gross profit margins between years. In the manufacturing segment, margins were also consistent as slightly higher selling prices and improved capacity utilization offset an increase in plastic resin raw material costs.

        Total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased $4.0 million or 10 percent compared to the prior year period. Approximately, $2.4 million or 60 percent of this increase was due to the impact of foreign currency translation. In addition, the Company experienced increased freight and selling expenses related to the higher sales volumes experienced in the current year. Expressed as a percent of sales, operating expenses were reduced to 23.7 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared with 24.5 percent in the prior year

        Net interest expense increased $.6 million or 26 percent compared with the prior year period. The increase was primarily the result of higher interest rates, particularly for the $100 million of senior notes at 6.08 percent and 6.81 percent issued in December 2003. In addition, the Company increased borrowing by approximately $60 million in March 2004 in connection with the ATP acquisition.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
              Results of Operations

Results of Operations

        Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 were $152.4 million, an increase of 4 percent from the $146.6 million reported in the prior year period, primarily as a result of favorable currency translations for the Company's foreign business units. In the distribution segment, sales of $41.0 million were down 2 percent from $41.8 million last year reflecting reduced sales of capital equipment. Sales in the manufacturing segment were up $6.4 million , or 6 percent, with $5.0 million of the increase resulting from foreign currency

translation due to the strength of the euro. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, sales in the manufacturing segment were slightly higher as increased unit volumes offset pricing reductions. The impact of foreign currency translation on net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 was not material.

        For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net sales were $484.6 million, an increase of $35.9 million over the prior year. Sales in the distribution segment were up $1.5 million or one percent, based on slightly higher unit volumes. Sales in the manufacturing segment were up $34.1 million, or 10 percent reflecting both higher unit volumes and favorable foreign currency effects. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, sales in the manufacturing segment would have increased 4 percent year to date and total sales 3 percent. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, favorable foreign currency translation increased net income by approximately $580,000 or $.02 per share.

        Cost of sales increased 6 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, and accordingly, gross profit expressed as a percent of sales declined to 29.0 percent compared to 30.3 percent in the corresponding prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily the result of business in the manufacturing segment where higher raw material costs combined with competitive pricing conditions resulted in lower margins. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the gross profit margin declined to 30.5 percent compared to 33.6 percent in the prior year, primarily due to higher raw material costs. Costs for high density polyethylene and polypropylene plastic resins, the Company's primary raw materials, were approximately 15 percent higher for the quarter and 30 percent higher for the nine month periods of 2003 compared with the prior year.

        Total operating expenses increased $3.6 million or 10 percent compared with the prior year. Approximately 50 percent of this increase was due to the impact of foreign currency translation for costs incurred in foreign businesses with other increases due to higher freight and selling expenses resulting from higher unit volumes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, operating expenses increased $13.3 million or 12 percent compared with the prior year. Approximately 54 percent of this increase was due to the impact of foreign currency translation with other increases for selling expenses related to higher unit volume sales and information systems and software costs. Expressed as a percentage of sales, operating expenses increased to 26.2 percent for the quarter and 25.1 percent for the nine month period in 2003 compared with 24.8 percent and 24.2 percent for the same periods in the prior year.

        Net interest expense decreased $.6 million or 21 percent for the quarter and $1.5 million or 16 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared with the prior year. The lower interest expense reflects the effects of both lower interest rates and lower average borrowing levels in 2003.

Myers Industries, Inc.

        Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2003quarter were $13.4$5.4 million and are anticipatedexpected to be approximatelyin the range of $20 to $25 million for the full year. Management believes that cash flows from operations and available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet expected business requirements including capital expenditures, dividends, working capital and debt service.

        On May 5, 2003, the Company entered into an amendment of its Multi-Currency Loan Agreement, primarily for the purpose of revising the covenants related to limitations as to payments for cash dividends and capital expenditures and the maintenance of maximum leverage ratios, defined as total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Essentially all other terms of the Loan Agreement, which expires in February 2005, were not affected by the amendment.

        During the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2003, the Company anticipates that it will issue up to $100 million in senior unsecured notes. If completed, proceeds from the senior notes would be used to pay down outstanding bank debt under the Company's existing term loan and revolving credit facility.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

        The Company has financing arrangements that require interest payments based on floating interest rates. As such, the Company's financial results are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. Our objective in managing the exposure to interest rate changes is to limit the volatility and impact of rate changes on earnings while maintaining the lowest overall borrowing cost. At present, the Company has not entered into any interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments to fix the interest rate on any portion of its financing arrangements with floating rates.

        Some of the Company's subsidiaries operate in foreign countries and, as such, their financial results are subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The Company believes that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations do not represent a significant market risk due to the nature of the foreign countries in which we operate, primarily Canada and Western Europe, as well as the size of those operations relative to the total Company.

The Company monitors this risk but currently has no derivative contracts to hedge this risk, however, the Company also has no significant purchase obligations to purchase fixed quantities of such commodities in future periods.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

        As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act rule 13a-14.
