AMSCAN HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

Amscan Holdings, Inc. ("Amscan Holdings" and, together with its
subsidiaries, "AHI" or the "Company") was incorporated on October 3, 1996 for
the purpose of becoming the holding company for Amscan Inc. and certain
affiliated entities. AHI designs, manufactures, contracts for manufacture and
distributes decorative party goods, metallic balloons, stationery and gift items
principally in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Amscan Holdings and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All
material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2002. The results of operations may be affected by seasonal factors
such as the timing of holidays or industry factors that may be specific to a
particular period, such as movement in and the general level of raw material
costs. For further information, see the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in Amscan Holdings' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2001 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 01-09,
"Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of
the Vendor's Product." EITF 01-09 was effective for Amscan as of January 1,
2002. EITF 01-09 clarifies the income statement classification of costs incurred
by a vendor in connection with the reseller's purchase or promotion of the
vendor's products, resulting in certain advertising and product placement costs
previously classified as selling expenses to be reflected as a reduction of
revenues earned from that activity. The new guidance requires retroactive
restatement of all periods presented to reflect the new accounting provision. As
a result of applying the provisions of EITF 01-09, the Company's revenues and
costs were each reduced by $524,000 and $1,125,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2001, respectively.

Note 3 - Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

June 30, December 31,

Note 4 - Income Taxes

The consolidated income tax expense for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001 was determined based upon estimates of the Company's
consolidated effective income tax rates for the years ending December 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively. The differences between the consolidated effective
income tax rate and the U.S. Federal statutory rate are primarily attributable
to state income taxes and the effects of foreign operations.

Note 5 - Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income consisted of the following (dollars in
thousands):

Note 6 - Capital Stock

On March 30, 2001, the Board of Directors authorized 500 shares of
preferred stock, $0.10 par value, and designated 100 shares as "Series A
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock". Also on March 30, 2001, the Company
issued 40 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to GS
Capital Partners II, L.P. and certain other private investment funds managed by
Goldman, Sachs & Co. (collectively, "GSCP"), for proceeds of $6.0 million.
Dividends are cumulative and payable annually at 6% per annum. Such dividends
payable on or prior to March 30, 2004, shall be payable in additional shares of
Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock based on a value of $150,000 per
share. Subsequent to March 30, 2004, dividends shall be payable, at the option
of the Company, either in cash or additional shares of Series A Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2002, accrued dividends aggregated
$95,000 and are included in redeemable convertible preferred stock on the
consolidated balance sheet.

AMSCAN HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
(Unaudited)

At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, 42.40 and 40.0 shares of Series
A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, were issued and
outstanding.

Each share of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is
convertible at the option of the holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock
at a conversion price equal to the fair value of the Common Stock at the date
the redeemable convertible preferred stock was issued, subject to adjustment for
the effects of subsequent common stock splits or stock dividends. At June 30,
2002, the redeemable convertible preferred stock is convertible into Common
Stock at a price of $150,000 per common share. As of June 30, 2002, there were
43.04 shares of Common Stock reserved for such conversion.

The Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable
on or prior to March 30, 2004. To the extent the Company shall have funds
legally available to redeem these shares, the Company may redeem these shares,
in whole or, with the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, in part, at a redemption price
of $150,000 per share, in cash, together with accrued and unpaid dividends. To
the extent the Company shall have funds legally available to redeem these shares
on March 30, 2008, the Company is required to redeem all outstanding shares of
Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share
equal to $150,000 in cash, together with accrued and unpaid dividends. The
holders of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock have liquidation
rights equal to their original investment plus accrued but unpaid dividends.

On January 1, 2002, the Company issued 3.0 shares of restricted Common
Stock with an aggregate value of $465,000 to its Executive Vice President,
subject to the vesting provisions of an employment agreement.

In February 2002, the Company issued 96.774 shares of its Common Stock,
at a value of $155,000 per share, to American Greetings Corporation in
connection with the acquisition of M&D Balloons Inc. (see Note 10).

At June 30, 2002, of the 1,233.27 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding, 203.3 shares of redeemable Common Stock were held by employees, of
which 6.38 shares (the "Restricted Stock") are subject to the vesting provisions
of certain employment agreements with the President and Executive Vice President
of the Company. The President's shares of Restricted Stock will vest in June
2003 and the Executive Vice President's shares of Restricted Stock will vest in
December 2004. During the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company
recorded the amortization of Restricted Stock of $59,000 and $18,000,
respectively, as compensation expense, which is included in general and
administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of income.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded the
amortization of Restricted Stock of $118,000 and $30,000, respectively.

In September 1998, the Company issued warrants to purchase 100,000
shares of Common Stock at $125,000 per share in connection with the acquisition
of all the capital stock of Anagram International, Inc. and certain related
companies ("Anagram"). The warrants, which were valued at $225,000, were fully
exercisable upon issuance and expire on September 17, 2008.

The Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock and does not
anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company
currently intends to retain its earnings for working capital, repayment of
indebtedness, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. In addition,
the Company's current credit facility and the indenture governing its notes
contain restrictive covenants which have the effect of limiting the Company's
ability to pay dividends or distributions to its stockholders.

Note 7 - Segment Information

Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141") and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No 142"). SFAS No 141 revises the accounting treatment
for business combinations to require the use of purchase accounting and prohibit
the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No 142 revises the accounting
for goodwill to eliminate the amortization of goodwill on transactions
consummated after June 30, 2001 and of all other goodwill as of January 1, 2002.
Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
SFAS No. 142 also requires goodwill and other intangible assets to be assessed
for impairment each year and more frequently if circumstances indicate a
possible impairment. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company completed
the initial impairment test as of January 1, 2002 and no impairment was noted.
Had SFAS No. 142 been effective in fiscal year 2001, net income would have been
reported as the following amounts (dollars in thousands):

Intangible assets, net of amortization, of $915,000 at June 30, 2002
were comprised of licensing agreements which are being amortized using the
straight-line method over the lives of the contracts (one to three years with an
average life of 2.7 years). Intangible assets at December 31, 2001 were fully
amortized and were comprised of patents which were amortized using the
straight-line method over three years. Accumulated amortization was $3,155,000
and $3,000,000 at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
Amortization of intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30,
2002 was $114,000 and $155,000, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, was $249,000 and $498,000,
respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the years ending December 31,
2002, 2003, and 2004 was $383,000, $456,000 and $231,000, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No 144"). SFAS No. 144 supercedes Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," and the
accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board No. 30,
"Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions." SFAS No. 144 provides updated guidance concerning the
recognition and measurement of an impairment loss for certain types of
long-lived assets

and expands the scope of a discontinued operation to include a component of an
entity. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 did not impact the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities," SFAS No. 146 addresses accounting
and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and
nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146
requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue No.
94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date an entity
committed to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit
or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.


Note 10-Acquisition

On February 19, 2002, the Company purchased all of the outstanding
common stock of M&D Balloons, Inc. ("M&D Balloons"), a Manteno, Illinois-based
manufacturer of metallic and plastic balloons, from American Greetings
Corporation ("American Greetings") for $27,500,000 plus certain other related
costs of $1,047,000. The Company believes that this acquisition will supplement
its existing balloon operations. The Company financed the acquisition by
borrowing $13,547,000 under its revolving credit facility and issuing 96.774
shares of its Common Stock to American Greetings. American Greetings will
continue to distribute metallic balloons under a supply agreement with the
Company. The acquisition has been accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations" and, accordingly, the operating results of M&D
Balloons have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements
since the date of acquisition.

The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based upon the
estimated fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition. Such
allocations are based on studies and valuations that have not yet been completed
and will be subject to change in future periods. The excess of the purchase
price over tangible net assets acquired has been preliminarily allocated to
intangible assets consisting of licensing agreements in the amount of
$1,070,000, which are being amortized using the straight-line method over the
lives of the contracts (one to three years with an average life of 2.7 years),
and goodwill in the amount of $20,292,000, which is not being amortized. The
transaction was structured as a purchase of common stock and, accordingly, the
amortization of intangible assets is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the M&D Balloons
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The pro
forma information, as presented below, is not indicative of the results that
would have been obtained had the transaction occurred on January 1, 2001, nor is
it indicative of the Company's future results (dollars in thousands):

Net sales ................ $ 88,849 $194,144 $180,564

The above amounts reflect adjustments for interest expense from
additional borrowings necessary to finance the acquisition and amortization of
intangible assets, net of their related income tax effects based upon a pro
forma effective tax rate of 39.5%. The unaudited pro forma information gives
effect only to adjustments described above and does not reflect management's
estimate of any anticipated cost savings or other benefits as a result of the
acquisition.

During the three and six months ended, June 30, 2002, the Company sold
$2,557,000 and $3,516,000, respectively, of metallic balloons and other party
goods to American Greetings. Trade accounts receivable from American Greetings
at June 30, 2002 were $2,197,000.


Note 11 - Restructuring Charges

During the second quarter of 2002, the Company incurred charges of
$93,000 relating to the consolidation of its domestic distribution operations,
which began in 1998 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2002. In
addition, the Company incurred charges of $93,000 relating to the closure of its
distribution facilities in Spain and France which was substantially completed by
June 30, 2002 and has resulted in the elimination of 6 positions. The continued
consolidation of the Company's distribution facilities may result in additional
restructuring charges in subsequent periods.


Note 12 - Initial Public Offering

On June 13, 2002, the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering of the Common
Stock. The filing has not yet become effective. The Company anticipates that, if
the offering is completed, it will use the net proceeds it receives to pay
existing debt. In addition, the board of directors plans to approve a 10,000 for
one stock split of the Common Stock, effective immediately prior to the
offering.


Note 13 - Subsequent Event

On July 3, 2002, the Company entered into an amended revolving loan
credit agreement which extended the expiration of its revolving credit facility
from December 2002 to December 2003 and reduced the maximum borrowing from $50
million to $40 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit
Facility bears interest, at the option of the Company, at the lenders' prime
rate plus, based on performance, a range of 1.25% to 3.50% per annum or at the
lenders' reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate plus, based on performance, a range of
1.875% to 4.50% per annum.


Note 14 - Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

On December 19, 1997, the Company entered into a bank credit agreement
("Bank Credit Facilities") providing for borrowings in the aggregate principal
amount of approximately $117,000,000 under a term loan (the "Term Loan") and
additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan was
subsequently amended in September 1998 to provide for additional borrowings of
$40,000,000 to partially finance the acquisition of Anagram. On December 19,
1997, the Company also issued $110,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.875%
senior subordinated notes due in December 2007 (the "Notes"). The repayment of
the Notes and borrowings under the Bank Credit Facilities are guaranteed jointly
and severally, fully and unconditionally, by the wholly-owned domestic
subsidiaries of the Company (the "Guarantors").

Net sales of $94.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002
were $11.3 million higher than net sales for the three months ended June 30,
2001. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company's sales of printed
ensembles, solid color tableware and other party goods to the national
superstore distribution channel grew by 3.3%. The Company's specialty sales
force, which brings party goods and related gift products to card and gift
stores and other independent retailers, achieved 56.4% sales growth during the
second quarter of 2002, contributing $8.3 million to net sales. Net sales from
contract manufacturing during the second quarter increased by $1.9 million when
compared to the second quarter of 2001. In addition, net sales for the second
quarter of 2002 included $5.3 million as a result of the February 2002
acquisition of M&D Balloons, Inc. ("M&D Balloons") (See Liquidity and Capital
Resources).

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2002 of 34.2% was consistent
with that of the second quarter of 2001 as the incremental margin achieved as a
result of increased sales was offset by lower margin attributable to product mix
and a higher effective rate of sales incentives.

Selling expenses of $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
2002 were $1.0 million higher than in the corresponding period in 2001
principally due to the inclusion of the operating results of M&D Balloons and
the continued development of the Company's specialty sales force. Selling
expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 9.3% to 9.2%, reflecting
the increase in net sales and the maturation of the specialty sales force.

General and administrative expenses of $8.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 represents a decrease of $0.2 million as compared to
the corresponding period in 2001. The net decrease in general and administrative
expenses reflects the elimination of goodwill amortization in 2002, which
amortization totaled $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2001, partially
offset by the inclusion of the operating results of M&D Balloons and higher
employee wages. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses
decreased by 1.1%, to 9.3%.

23


Art and development costs of $2.7 million for the second quarter of
2002 were $0.4 million higher than in the second quarter of 2001, principally
due to an increase of staff and higher wages and the inclusion of the operating
results of M&D Balloons.

During the second quarter of 2002, the Company incurred charges of $0.1
million relating to the consolidation of its domestic distribution operations,
which began in 1998 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2002. In
addition, the Company incurred charges of $0.1 million relating to the closure
of its distribution facilities in Spain and France which was substantially
completed by June 30, 2002 and has resulted in the elimination of 6 positions.
The continued consolidation of the Company's distribution facilities may result
in additional restructuring charges in subsequent periods.

Interest expense, net, of $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2002
was $0.9 million lower than in the corresponding period in 2001 and reflects a
lower average interest rate (6.8% in 2002 versus 8.7% in 2001), partially offset
by the impact of higher average borrowings.

Income taxes for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001 were based upon
estimated consolidated effective income tax rates of 39.5% for the years ending
December 31, 2002 and 2001.

====== ======


Net sales of $190.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were
$20.3 million higher than net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company's sales of printed
ensembles, solid color tableware and other party goods to the national
superstore distribution channel grew by 8.2%. The Company's specialty sales
force, which brings party goods and related gift products to the independent
retail distribution channel, achieved 56.1% sales growth during the six months
ended June 30, 2002, contributing $17.9 million to net sales. Net sales for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 also included $7.5 million as a result of the
February 2002 acquisition of M&D Balloons (See Liquidity and Capital Resources).
These net sales gains were partially offset by a decline in net sales to craft
stores and mass merchants.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of 34.9% was 0.4%
lower than during the first half of 2001 as incremental margins achieved as a
result of higher sales were more than offset by the impact of product mix,
particularly solid color tableware and a higher effective rate of sales
incentives.

24



Selling expenses of $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2002 were $1.3 million higher than in the corresponding period in 2001
principally due to the inclusion of the operating results of M&D Balloons and
the continued development of the Company's specialty sales force. Selling
expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 9.2% to 8.8%, reflecting
the increase in net sales and the maturation of the specialty sales force.

General and administrative expenses of $16.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 represents a decrease of $0.2 million as compared to the
corresponding period in 2001. The net decrease in general and administrative
expenses reflects the elimination of goodwill amortization in 2002, which
amortization totaled $1.3 million during the first half of 2001, partially
offset by the inclusion of the operating results of M&D Balloons and higher
employee wages. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses
decreased by 1.2% to 8.9%.

Art and development costs of $5.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 2002 were $0.6 million higher than in the first half of 2001, principally
due to an increase in staff and higher employee wages and the inclusion of the
operating results of M&D Balloons.

During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company incurred charges
of $0.1 million relating to the consolidation of its domestic distribution
operations, which began in 1998 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of
2002. In addition, the Company incurred charges of $0.1 million relating to the
closure of its distribution facilities in Spain and France which was
substantially completed by June 30, 2002 and has resulted in the elimination of
6 positions. The continued consolidation of the Company's distribution
facilities may result in additional restructuring charges in subsequent periods.

Interest expense, net, of $10.8 million for the six months ended June
30, 2002 was 2.0 million lower than in the corresponding period in 2001 and
reflects a lower average interest rate (6.8% in 2002 versus 8.9% in 2001),
partially offset by the impact of higher average borrowings.

Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were based
upon estimated consolidated effective income tax rates of 39.5% for the years
ending December 31, 2002 and 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

At June 30, 2002, the Company had an outstanding Term Loan of $148.9
million provided under a bank credit agreement (the "Bank Credit Facilities"),
together with senior subordinated notes of $110.0 million (the "Notes")
(collectively, the "Financings"). The Term Loan matures in December 2004 and
provides for amortization (in quarterly installments) of one percent of the
principal amount thereof per year for the first five years and 32.3% and 62.7%
of the principal amount thereof in the sixth and seventh years, respectively.
The Term Loan bears interest, at the option of the Company, at the lenders'
prime rate plus 1.625% per annum or at the lenders' reserve adjusted Eurodollar
rate plus 2.625% per annum. At June 30, 2002, the floating interest rate on the
Term Loan was 4.52%. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.875% per annum and
mature in December 2007. The Company is required to make prepayments on the Bank
Credit Facilities based upon the net proceeds from certain asset sales, the
issuances of certain debt and equity securities and insurance or condemnation
awards, as well as based on annual cash flows, as defined.

The Bank Credit Facilities, as amended on July 3, 2002, also provide
for revolving loan borrowings of up to $40 million (the "Revolving Credit
Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest, at the option of the
Company, at the lenders' prime customary base rate plus, based on performance, a
range of 1.25% to 3.50% per annum or at the lenders' reserve adjusted Eurodollar
rate plus, based on performance, a range of 1.875% to 4.50% per annum. At June
30, 2002, the Company had borrowing capacity of approximately $19.0 million
under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, as amended. The Revolving
Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios
including, at June 30, 2002, minimum consolidated earnings before interest
taxes,

25



depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of $58,500,000 for the four fiscal
quarters ended June 30, 2002, a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated
fixed charges (principally includes capital expenditures, scheduled debt
payments, cash interest and income tax payments) equal to or greater than 1.10
to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2002 and a ratio of
consolidated debt to EBITDA of not more than 4.80 to 1.00 for the four fiscal
quarters ended June 30, 2002 and making annual capital expenditures of not more
than $15,000,000 plus any unused 2001 capital expenditure limit up to an
additional $7,500,000.

In addition to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company has a
$400,000 Canadian dollar denominated revolving credit facility which bears
interest at the Canadian prime rate and expires on June 15, 2003, a $1.0 million
British Pound Sterling denominated revolving credit facility which bears
interest at the U.K. base rate plus 1.75% and expires on June 1, 2003 and a $1.0
million revolving credit facility which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% and
expires on January 31, 2003. No borrowings were outstanding under these
revolving credit facilities at June 30, 2002.

The Company financed the costs to purchase property and construct a new
domestic distribution facility with a total cost of $30.1 million during the
fourth quarter of 2001, using borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility,
the proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Stock of $6.0 million (noted below) and long-term borrowings consisting of a
first and second lien mortgage note of $10.0 million each with a financial
institution and the New York State Job Development Authority, respectively. The
first lien mortgage note bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%. However, the
Company has utilized an interest rate swap agreement to effectively fix the loan
rate at 8.40% for the term of the loan. The second lien mortgage note bears
interest at a rate 4.75%, subject to change under certain conditions. Both notes
are for a term of 96 months and require monthly payments based on a 180-month
amortization period with balloon payments upon maturity in January 2010. The
Company has amended and restated its Bank Credit Facilities to provide for,
among other things, the additional borrowings and capital expenditures for the
construction of the facility.

On March 30, 2001, the Board of Directors authorized 500 shares of
preferred stock, $0.10 par value, and designated 100 shares as Series A
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. Also on March 30, 2001, the Company
issued 40 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to GSCP for
proceeds of $6.0 million. Dividends are cumulative and payable annually at 6%
per annum. Such dividends payable on or prior to March 30, 2004 shall be payable
in additional shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock based on
a value of $150,000 per share. Subsequent to March 30, 2004, dividends shall be
payable at the option of the Company either in cash or additional shares of
Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. Annual dividends were
distributed in additional shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Stock on March 30, 2002. At June 30, 2002, 42.40 shares of Series A Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

The Company has several non-cancelable operating leases principally for
office, distribution and manufacturing facilities, showrooms and warehouse
equipment. These leases expire on various dates through 2017 and generally
contain renewal options and require the Company to pay real estate taxes,
utilities and related insurance. Rent expense for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2002, totaled $2.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The minimum
lease payments currently required under non-cancelable operating leases for the
year ending December 31, 2002, approximate $11.8 million.

On February 19, 2002, the Company purchased all of the outstanding
common stock of M&D Balloons, a Manteno, Illinois-based manufacturer of metallic
and plastic balloons, from American Greetings Corporation ("American Greetings")
for $27.5 million plus related costs. The Company financed the acquisition by
borrowing $13.5 million under its Revolving Credit Facility and issuing 96.774
shares of its Common Stock to American Greetings, at a value of $155,000 per
share. American Greetings will continue to distribute metallic balloons under a
supply agreement with the Company.

On June 13, 2002, the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering of the Common
Stock. The filing has not yet become effective. The Company anticipates


26



that, if the offering is completed, it will use the net proceeds it receives to
pay existing debt. In addition, the board of directors plans to approve a 10,000
for one stock split of the Common Stock, effective immediately prior to the
offering.

Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, the
Company anticipates that its operating cash flow, together with available
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to meet its
anticipated future requirements for working capital and operating expenses for
at least the next 12 months. Scheduled debt payments for the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2003 total $3.5 million and $52.3 million, respectively,
with increasing amounts thereafter. The Company is exploring a number of options
to repay or refinance these debt maturities. The Company has had good access to
capital markets and expects to repay or refinance these debt maturities as they
become due. However, the Company's ability to make scheduled payments of
principal of, or to pay interest on, or to refinance its indebtedness and to
satisfy its other obligations will depend upon several factors including the
volatility of capital markets and the Company's future performance, which, to a
certain extent, will be subject to general economic, financial, competitive,
business and other factors beyond its control.

The Financings may affect the Company's ability to make future capital
expenditures and potential acquisitions. However, management believes that
current asset levels provide adequate capacity to support its operations for at
least the next 12 months. At June 30, 2002, the Company did not have material
commitments for capital expenditures or other acquisitions.

Cash Flow Data - Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared Six Months Ended June
30, 2001

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, totaled $10.6 million and $11.9 million, respectively.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities before changes in operating
assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, was
$21.8 million and $15.6 million, respectively. Changes in operating assets and
liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, resulted in the use
of cash of $11.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The changes in
operating assets and liabilities principally reflect an increase in accounts
receivable and inventories, net of a corresponding increase in accounts payable,
consistent with the growth in operations. In addition, the increase in prepaid
expenses and other current assets for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was
higher than the prior period's figure primarily due to deposits on equipment
relating to the outfitting of the newly constructed domestic distribution
facility.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June
30, 2002 of $21.1 million consisted of $13.5 million relating to the acquisition
of M&D Balloons and $7.6 million of costs associated with the new domestic
distribution facility as well as additional investments in data processing and
manufacturing equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, net cash
used in investing activities of $15.1 million included payments of $10.5 million
associated with the construction of the new domestic distribution facility and
additional investments primarily in manufacturing equipment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2002, net cash provided by
financing activities of $11.6 million included proceeds from short-term
borrowings, including $13.5 million used to finance the acquisition of M&D
Balloons, partially offset by the scheduled payments of the Term Loan and other
long-term obligations. During the comparable period in 2001, net cash provided
by financing activities was $3.4 million and primarily consisted of proceeds
from the issuance of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
totaling $6.0 million partially offset by payments made against the Term Loan
and other long-term obligations.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to certain claims and litigation in the ordinary
course of business. The Company does not believe any of these proceedings will
result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on its
financial condition or future results of operations.

"Safe Harbor" Statement under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
various provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All
statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report
that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or
anticipates will or may occur in the future, future capital expenditures
(including the amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures to
implement strategy, including any changes to operations, goals, expansion and
growth of the Company's business and operations, plans, references to future
success and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements
are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of
its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and
expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are
appropriate in the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from
those discussed. Whether actual results and developments will conform with the
Company's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to (1) the concentration of sales by
the Company to party goods superstores where the reduction of purchases by a
small number of customers could materially reduce the Company's sales and
profitability, (2) the concentration of the Company's credit risk in party goods
superstores, several of which are privately held and have expanded rapidly in
recent years, (3) the failure by the Company to anticipate changes in tastes and
preferences of party goods retailers and consumers, (4) introduction of new
product lines by the Company, (5) the introduction of new products by the
Company's competitors, (6) the inability of the Company to increase prices to
recover fully future increases in raw material prices, especially increases in
paper prices, (7) the loss of key employees, (8) changes in general business
conditions, (9) other factors which might be described from time to time in the
Company's filings with the Commission and (10) other factors which are beyond
the control of the Company. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements
made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and the actual
results or developments anticipated by the Company may not be realized or, even
if substantially realized, may not have the expected consequences to or effects
on the Company or its business or operations. Although the Company believes that
it has the product offerings and resources needed for continued growth in
revenues and margins, future revenue and margin trends cannot be reliably
predicted. Changes in such trends may cause the Company to adjust its operations
in the future. Because of the foregoing and other factors, recent trends should
not be considered reliable indicators of future financial results. In addition,
the highly leveraged nature of the Company may impair its ability to finance its
future operations and capital needs and its flexibility to respond to changing
business and economic conditions and business opportunities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our earnings are affected by changes in interest rates as a result of
our variable rate indebtedness. However, we utilize interest rate swap
agreements to manage the market risk associated with fluctuations in interest
rates. If market interest rates for our variable rate indebtedness averaged 2%
more than the interest rate actually paid for the three months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001, our interest expense, after considering the effects of our
interest rate swap agreements, would have increased, and income before income
taxes would have decreased, by $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. If
market interest rates for our variable rate indebtedness averaged 2% more than
the interest rate actually paid for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
our interest expense, after considering the effects of our interest rate swap
agreements, would have increased, and income before income taxes would have
decreased, by $1.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. These amounts are
determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our
borrowings and interest rate swap agreements. This analysis does not consider
the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist
in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude,
management would likely take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the
change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that we would
take and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in
our financial structure.

Our earnings are also affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S.
dollar as compared to foreign currencies, predominately in European countries,
as a result of the sales of our products in foreign markets. Although we
periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against the
earnings effects of such fluctuations, we may not be able to hedge such risks
completely or permanently. A uniform 10% strengthening in

28



the value of the dollar relative to the currencies in which our foreign sales
are denominated would have resulted in a decrease in gross profit of $0.4
million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. A uniform 10% strengthening in the value of the dollar relative to
the currencies in which our foreign sales are denominated would have resulted in
a decrease in gross profit of $0.7 million in each of the six month periods
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These calculations assume that each
exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In
addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, which could change
the U.S. dollar value of the resulting sales, changes in exchange rates may also
affect the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales price as competitors'
products become more or less attractive. Our sensitivity analysis of the effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential
change in sales levels or local currency prices.
