Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in Thousands)

            1.   Basis of Presentation:

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The information furnished in these financial statements reflects all estimates and adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods reported, and all adjustments and estimates are of a normal recurring nature.

            2.   Net Income Per Share Data:

The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) and Diluted EPS computations (shares in thousands):

All share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the three for two stock split effective November 30, 2001.

services to the consumer products industry. The Company funded the acquisition through available cash and the Company’s line of credit. Total purchase price was $6,652, which included a note payable of $300, due May 2005. In order to complete the acquisition and fund future cash needs, the Company’s lenders temporarily increased the revolving line of credit by $3,000. The results of operations of the acquisition are included in the consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition.

The following table summarizes, on a proforma basis, the estimated combined results of the Company and the above acquisition assuming the acquisition had occurred April 1, 2001. The results include certain adjustments, primarily interest expense, and are not necessarily indicative of what results would have been had the Company owned Quick Pak, Inc. during the periods presented.

            5.   Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” as of April 1, 2001. In accordance with this statement, the amount recorded for goodwill is no longer being amortized. Goodwill will be tested annually for impairment. The fair value of the reporting unit responsible for the goodwill will be compared to its carrying amount. If an impairment is determined to have occurred, any required impairment loss will be recorded at that time.

At June 30, 2002, the total amount of intangible assets subject to amortization and related accumulated amortization is $1,403 and $637, respectively. These assets will continue to be amortized over their useful remaining lives. The weighted average amortization period for these assets is 4.07 years. Total amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $93 and $116, respectively. The amount of goodwill recorded at June 30, 2002 that is no longer amortized is $10,872. Goodwill increased $4,488 during the three months ended June 30, 2002 due to the acquisition of Quick Pak, Inc. in May 2002. This increase in goodwill was attributable entirely to the packaging services division of the Company.

The annual estimated amortization expense for the fiscal years ended March 31 are as follows:

            6.   Segment Information:

With the Company’s recent acquisition of Quick Pak, Inc. in May 2002, the Company now operates in two segments within the packaging industry: decorative label solutions and packaging services. The decorative label solutions segment’s primary operations involve the printing of labels while the packaging services segment provides promotional packaging, assembling and fulfillment services. Both segments sell to major consumer product companies. Segment information is not applicable for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as the Company only operated in the label segment at that time.

            7.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This Statement requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred. Under previous guidance, certain exit costs were accrued upon management’s commitment to an exit plan, which is generally before an actual liability has been incurred. Adoption of this Statement is required with disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company believes that the adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

Net sales increased $384 or 2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily a result of the acquisition completed by the Company in May 2002 of Quick Pak, Inc. The acquisition contributed $1,007 in sales for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

Gross profit increased $159 or 4% as compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the sales increase. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was slightly higher for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year, 20% in the current period versus 19% in the prior period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $274 or 20% as compared to the same prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 8% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from 7% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in expenses is a result of the Company expanding its sales force in the third quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002.

Interest expense decreased $89 as compared to the same period in the prior year and was the result of lower interest rates for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

Income tax expense increased $33 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is a result of anticipated higher state taxes for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003 due to the mix of income earned in higher taxed states such as Ohio. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was 39% as compared to 36% for the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company entered into a new credit agreement with PNC Bank, Ohio, National Association (“PNC Bank”) and three other participating banks on July 12, 2002. The credit agreement provides the Company with a $6,000 revolving line of credit, a $15,000 acquisition credit facility and the refinancing of existing term loans and standby letters of credit. The terms, covenants and interest rates under the agreement are substantially the same as under the previous credit agreement. This agreement expires July 1, 2005.

Substantially all of the assets of the Company are pledged as collateral under the Company’s borrowings.

Through the three months ended June 30, 2002, net cash used in operating activities was $1,034 as compared to net cash provided of $1,883 through the same period of the prior year. The change is due primarily to the increase in accounts receivable at June 30, 2002 as compared to March 31, 2002. The accounts receivable increase is a result of increased sales over the prior quarter ended March 31, 2002.

The cash used in investing activities of $6,832 and cash provided of $6,479 by financing activities was a result of the acquisition completed by the Company in May 2002 of Quick Pak, Inc. The Company used its available line of credit to complete the acquisition and the Company’s lenders granted the Company a temporary $3,000 increase in the line of credit to fund the acquisition and

temporary future cash needs. Subsequent to June 30, 2002 the majority of the borrowings under the line of credit were converted to a term note under the acquisition credit facility provided for in the new financing agreement entered into with PNC Bank and others on July 12, 2002 as noted above.

The Company believes it has both sufficient short and long term liquidity financing. The Company had a working capital position of $(785) and $4,141 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The reduction in working capital was due to the temporary borrowings under the Company’s revolving line of credit to finance the Quick Pak acquisition. These borrowings were converted to the long term acquisition credit facility under the Company’s new financing agreement. At June 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with its loan covenants and current in its principal and interest payments on all debt.

The Company intends to make capital expenditures of approximately $3,300 during fiscal 2003. The Company believes that cash flow from operations and availability under the revolving line of credit are sufficient to meet its capital requirements and debt service requirements for the next twelve months. From time to time the Company has reviewed potential acquisitions of businesses. Such an acquisition may require the Company to issue additional equity or incur additional debt.

The Company has no material changes to the disclosure made on this matter on the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2002.
