TUFCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002
(UNAUDITED)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Tufco Technologies, Inc., (the "Company") pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments necessary
for a fair statement of results for each period shown (unless otherwise
noted herein, all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature) (See
Note 6). Operating results for the three-month and sixth-month periods
ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results expected
for the remainder of the year. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and
regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are
adequate to prevent the financial information given from being
misleading. The Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet at
September 30, 2002, was derived from the audited consolidated balance
sheet. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS
No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment
or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS 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 Opinion 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 also amends Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to eliminate the
exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely
to be temporary. SFAS No. 144 requires that one accounting model be
used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether
previously held and used or newly acquired. SFAS No. 144 also broadens
the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal
transactions. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144, effective October 1,
2002. Adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations. The sale and
discontinued operations of the Paint Sundries segment in the second
quarter 2003 have been recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit of Disposal
Activities", which was issued by the FASB in July 2002, requiring
companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal
activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a
commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 supercedes EITF
Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Cost
Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146 is to be applied
prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December
31, 2002.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED).

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT--CONTINUED

On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure". SFAS No. 148
amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and
provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to
the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require disclosures in interim
financial statements of the effects of stock-based compensation. The
interim disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective for
periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company's stock-based
compensation related to employees and non-employee directors is
recognized using the intrinsic value method in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and thus there is no compensation expense for
options granted with exercise prices equal to the fair value of the
Company's common stock on the date of the grant. The Company has no
stock based employee compensation as defined by SFAS No. 148.

In November 2002, FASB issued Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45,
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN No. 45 requires
that a guarantor must recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a
liability for the fair value of the obligation that is has undertaken
in issuing a guarantee. FIN No. 45 also addresses the disclosure
requirements that a guarantor must include in its financial statements
for guarantees issued. The disclosure requirements in this
interpretation are effective for financial statements ending after
December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions
of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to
guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company has
no guarantees as defined in FIN No. 45.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform
to the current presentation.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

At March 31, 2003 and 2002, options representing 516,400 and 548,900
shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding. For the
three-month period ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, all of these options
were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations because
of their existing anti-diluted qualities.

2. GOODWILL

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets" effective October 1, 2001. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and
certain other intangible assets are no longer systematically amortized
but instead are reviewed for impairment and any excess in carrying
value over the estimated fair value is charged to results of
operations. The previous method for determining impairment prescribed
by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", utilized an undiscounted cash
flow approach for the initial impairment assessment, while SFAS No. 142
utilizes a fair value approach. The goodwill impairment charge
discussed below is the result of the change in the accounting method
for determining the impairment of goodwill.

In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company allocated
goodwill to each of its reporting units and tested this goodwill for
impairment as of the beginning of



7




NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED).

GOODWILL-CONTINUED

fiscal 2002. The Company completed the transitional goodwill impairment
test during the second quarter of fiscal 2002. As a result, an
impairment charge of $ 6.4 million ($4.7 million after tax, or $1.01
per diluted share) was recorded related to goodwill for the Business
Imaging and Paint Sundries reporting units $5.0 million and $1.4
million, respectively. The fair value of the reporting units was
estimated using a combination of valuation techniques including the
expected present value of future cash flows and prices of comparable
businesses.

The charges have been recorded as the cumulative effect of accounting
change in the amount of $6.4 million ($4.7 million after tax, or $1.01
per share) as of October 1, 2001 in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of operations.

The Company will continue to review for impairment on an annual basis,
and such analysis will be completed in the third quarter of 2003.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended
March 31, 2003 are as follows:

4. SEVERANCE COSTS

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the severance cost was $0
compared to $201,730 for the same period last year. For the six months
ended March 31, 2003, the severance cost was $46,284 compared to
$209,324 during the six months ended March 31, 2002. The 2003 costs are
related to the elimination of several salary positions. The 2002
expense relates primarily to severance pursuant to an employment
agreement with a former executive.

5. RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND ASSET WRITE DOWNS

During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company incurred
approximately $544,000 of costs (including approximately $311,000
related to impaired asset write-downs) related to restructuring a
component of the Business Imaging segment completed in fiscal year
2002.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED).

6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The condensed financial statements present the Paint Sundries segment
as a discontinued operation as a result of the sale of the business on
March 31, 2003 pursuant to authorization of the Board of Directors on
January 27, 2003. The Company sold the assets and business of the Paint
Sundries segment for $12.3 million in cash to Trimaco, LLC and its
affiliate. The sale included all Paint Sundries segment assets,
including the Manning, South Carolina manufacturing facility. Prior
period amounts have been restated, including the reallocation of
general overhead charges. The Company recorded a $0.4 million loss
($0.2 million after tax) on the sale of the Paint Sundries segment
which includes a $0.1 million gain on the sale of the assets offset by
$0.5 million of fees and expenses associated with the sale. The Company
does not expect any material adjustment to the loss when determination
of the final purchased net assets and the performance of certain
services are complete. The Company will provide certain accounting and
information technology services to Trimaco, LLC during the transition
period for an agreed upon fee.

Operating results from discontinued operations are as follows:

8. STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company applies APB No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock option plans. No compensation cost has been
recognized for the Company's stock option plans because the quoted
market price of the common stock at the date of grant was not in excess
of the option exercise price. SFAS No. 123 prescribes a method to
record compensation cost at the fair value of the options granted. Pro
forma disclosures as if the Company had adopted the cost recognition
requirements under SFAS No. 123 for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002 are presented below.

The Company manufactures and distributes business forms, custom
paper-based non-woven products, and provides contract manufacturing,
specialty printing and related services on these types of products. In
second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company sold its Paint Sundries
segment, and presented the financials related to this segment as
discontinued operations. Prior period amounts have been restated,
including the intersector information to reflect the sale of this
business. The Company separates its current operations and prepares
information for management use by the market segments aligned with the
Company's products and services. Such market information is summarized
below. The Contract Manufacturing segment provides services to large
national consumer products companies while the Business Imaging segment
manufactures and distributes paper good products. Accounts receivable
and certain other assets historically have not been assignable to
specific segments and, therefore, are included in the intersector
column below.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS--CONTINUED

NET SALES:

Net sales increased $0.6 million (5%) to $12.8 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2003, when compared to this period last year. This is due to increases of
$0.5 million or 9% in the Business Imaging segment and $0.1 million or 2% in the
Contract Manufacturing segment. The increase in the Business Imaging segment was
due to new business from a large chain of office supply retail stores.

GROSS PROFIT:

Gross profit decreased $0.3 million (17%) for second quarter of fiscal 2003 when
compared to second quarter of fiscal 2002. The Contract Manufacturing segment
decreased $0.6 million or 43% primarily due to a price reduction to a major
customer and increased warehouse costs due to increased production. The Business
Imaging segment's gross profit increased $0.3 million (70%) as a result of
growth in the point-of-sales rolls market. This segment also improved margins by
reducing overhead by closing the Dallas, Texas facility and moving the remaining
production to its Newton, North Carolina facility.

OPERATING EXPENSES:

Operating expenses decreased $0.5 million for second quarter of fiscal 2003 when
compared to the same period of fiscal 2002. This decrease for the quarter was
primarily related to a reduction in expenses as a result of closing the Dallas,
Texas facility. This decrease was offset by the write-off of loan fees as a
result of the reduction of debt with the proceeds from the sale of the Paint
Sundries segment.

OPERATING INCOME:

Operating income improved $0.2 million to income of $0.3 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 2003, when compared to the same period of fiscal 2002. The
increase was primarily due to reduced expenses as a result of the Dallas
facility closure mentioned earlier.

INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)-NET:

Interest expense was $36,000 lower compared to last year due to a $8.5 million
reduction in debt since March 31, 2002, and lower interest rates on borrowings.

NET INCOME (LOSS) AND EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:

The Company reported net loss of $0.3 million (per share: ($0.06) basic and
diluted) for first quarter of fiscal 2003, versus a net loss of $0.3 million
(per share: (($0.07)-basic and diluted) for the same period one year ago. Net
income from continuing operations was $0.1 million or $.03 per share for the
second quarter of 2003 compared to $25,000, or $.01 per share for 2002.

ACCOUNTING CHANGE:

Effective October 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets". This standard requires that companies no longer amortize
goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, such as trademarks. In addition,
this standard requires that companies evaluate all goodwill for impairment
annually. Upon completion of this evaluation, the Company recorded a charge in
an amount of $6.4 million ($4.7 million, net of income tax effects, or $1.01 per
diluted share) in fiscal 2002 for the goodwill recorded in the Business Imaging
and Paint Sundry segments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS --CONTINUED

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The Company generated $0.5 million in cash from continuing operations through
the first six months of fiscal 2003, compared to cash flow from continuing
operations generated of $3.4 million for the same period last year. Net income
plus non-cash items aggregated $1.9 million, an increase of $0.3 million from
the same period last year. The Company used $1.2 million for prepaid and other
assets and $0.7 million to pay accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Decreases in accounts receivable generated $0.3 million and decreases in
inventories generated $0.2 million in cash flows.

Net cash used in investing activities was $3.5 million through the second
quarter of fiscal 2003. Additions to property, plant and equipment include $1.8
million related to the purchase and installation of production and office
equipment. The Company made a deposit of $1.8 million for the purchase of a
flexo-graphic printing press which the Company ultimately plans to finance
through an operating lease. Thus this expenditure will be refunded upon
consummation of the lease transaction.

Net cash used in financing activities was $5.0 million through the second
quarter of fiscal 2003 due to repayment of all outstanding bank term debt and
revolving line of credit.

Net cash provided by discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2003 was
$10.9 million which represented $11.7 million of net proceeds from the sale of
the Paint Sundries segment offset by $0.9 million of cash used by the operating
activities for the six months ended March 31, 2003.

As of May 12, 2003, the Company had approximately $6.0 million available under
its revolving credit line which was reduced to a $6.0 million facility
concurrent with the Paint Sundries sale. According to the terms of its credit
facility with its lenders, the Company is required to maintain certain financial
and operational covenants. As of March 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance
with all of its debt covenants under the credit facility.

The Company intends to retain earnings to finance future operations and
expansion and does not expect to pay any dividends within the foreseeable
future.

STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN

In March 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved the purchase by the
Company of up to 100,000 shares given that the cash and debt position would
enable these purchases without impairment to the Company's capital. The purchase
plan began in April 2003, and extends over a nine-month period. As of May 12,
2003 no shares have been purchased.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The critical accounting policies for the Company remain unchanged from prior
periods. For a more detailed discussion refer to the Company's latest September
30, 2002 annual report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Information with respect to the Company's exposure to interest rate risk,
foreign currency risk, commodity price risk and other relevant market risks is
contained on page 24 in Item 7A, Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002. Management believes that as of

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:

Management's discussion of the Company's 2003 quarterly periods in comparison to
2002, contains forward-looking statements regarding current expectations, risks
and uncertainties for future periods. The actual results could differ materially
from those discussed here. As well as those factors discussed in this report,
other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, among
other items, cancellation of production agreements by significant customers,
material increases in the cost of base paper stock, competition in the Company's
product areas, or an inability of management to successfully reduce operating
expenses in relation to net sales without damaging the long-term direction of
the Company. Therefore, the condensed financial data for the periods presented
may not be indicative of the Company's future financial condition or results of
operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the
Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(c)
within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There
were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date
of their evaluation.
