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

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Amscan Holdings, Inc. ("Amscan Holdings" and, together with its
subsidiaries, "Amscan," "AHI" or the "Company") designs, manufactures, contracts
for manufacture and distributes party goods, including metallic balloons, gifts
and stationery, principally in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and
Australia.

NOTE 2 - THE TRANSACTIONS

On March 26, 2004, Amscan signed an agreement providing for a merger of
Amscan with AAH Acquisition Corporation, or AAH Acquisition, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of AAH Holdings Corporation, or AAH Holdings, an entity jointly
controlled by funds affiliated with Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio
(together the "Principal Investors"). On April 30, 2004, the merger with AAH
Acquisition was consummated, with Amscan continuing as the surviving entity and
as a wholly owned subsidiary of AAH Holdings. Under the terms of the agreement,
the equity interests in Amscan of GS Capital Partners II, L.P. and certain other
private investment funds managed by Goldman, Sachs & Co., which are collectively
referred to as GSCP, and all other stockholders, other than certain management
investors, were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive cash. Cash paid
to consummate the acquisition totaled $529,982,000 and was financed with initial
borrowings (before deducting deferred financing costs of $12,668,000) consisting
of a $205,000,000 term loan under a new senior secured credit facility which
includes a $50,000,000 revolving loan facility, the proceeds from the issuance
of $175,000,000 of 8.75% senior subordinated notes due 2014, the equity
contribution, including the Principal Investors and employee stockholders, of
$140,479,000, borrowings under the revolver of $23,551,000 and available cash on
hand. Certain existing management shareholders participated in the Transactions
(as defined hereafter) by purchasing approximately 292.41 shares of common
stock. The capital structure disclosed in the Successor financial statements is
the equity structure of AAH Holdings in order to reflect the ultimate beneficial
ownership of the Successor. The Chief Executive Officer and the President of the
Company exchanged 5.4945 and 2.7472 of their shares of common stock of the
Predecessor Company for 100 and 50 shares of common stock of the Successor
Company with an equivalent value of $1,000,000 and $500,000, respectively. In
addition, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company exchanged
vested options to purchase 5.607 and 2.804 shares of Predecessor Company common
stock, which had intrinsic values of $600,000 and $300,000, respectively, for
vested options under the Successor Company's equity incentive plan with
intrinsic values of $492,000 and $245,000 and fair values of $590,000 and
$290,000, respectively. The acquisition has been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting, and required that the Company adjust its assets
and liabilities to their relative fair values.

The purchase price has been allocated based upon preliminary estimates of
the fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition. The final
allocations will be 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 allocated to
intangible assets consisting of licensing agreements in the amount of
$3,000,000, which are being amortized using the straight-line method over the
lives of the contracts (two to three years with an average life of 2.5 years),
and goodwill in the amount of $313,097,000, which is not being amortized. The
acquisition was structured as a purchase of common stock and, accordingly, the
amortization of intangible assets is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Concurrent with the acquisition, the following financing transactions were
also consummated: the repayment of $147,724,000 under our then existing senior
secured credit facility and the termination of all commitments under that
facility; the consummation of our tender offer and consent solicitation for
$87,200,000 of the $110,000,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding of our
9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2007 for $93,500,000 or 103.542% of the
principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and the
redemption of the remaining senior subordinated notes for $23,551,000 or
103.292% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest;
and repayment of an $8,500,000 mortgage obligation with a financial institution
(the acquisition together with the foregoing financing transactions are referred
to herein collectively as the "Transactions").

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

On May 31, 2004, the remaining outstanding 9.875% senior subordinated
notes due 2007 were redeemed pursuant to the redemption notice. The Company
financed the redemption with borrowings under its new revolving credit facility.

The Company's new term loan provides for amortization (in quarterly
installments) of 1.0% per annum through June 30, 2010, and will then amortize in
equal quarterly payments through June 30, 2012. The new term loan bears
interest, at the option of the Company, at the index rate plus 1.75% per annum
or at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum. At June 30, 2004, the new term loan was
$205,000,000 and the floating interest rate on the new term loan was 3.96%. The
Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction on June 25, 2004 with a
financial institution initially covering $10,500,000 of its outstanding
borrowings under the new term loan. The notional amount, ranging from
$10,500,000 to $37,000,000, will vary over time and is covered by an interest
rate swap contract.

Revolving loans under the new senior credit facility expire on April 30,
2010 and bear interest, at the option of the Company, at the index rate plus,
based on performance, a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% per annum, or at
LIBOR plus, based on performance, a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% per
annum. At June 30, 2004, the Company had borrowings under the Revolver totaling
$11,590,000 and the floating interest rate on the Revolver was 4.51% at June 30,
2004.

Our new senior secured credit facility contains financial covenants and
maintenance tests, including a minimum interest coverage test and a maximum
total leverage test, and restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our
ability to make capital expenditures or pay dividends. Our new senior secured
credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of
some of our subsidiaries, and by a pledge of all of our domestic subsidiaries'
capital stock and a portion of our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries' capital
stock.

In connection with the Transactions, the Company has recorded
non-recurring expenses of $11,757,000 comprised of $6,209,000 of debt retirement
costs and the write-off of $5,548,000 of deferred financing costs associated
with the repayment of debt in connection with the Transactions.

The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the Transactions had
occurred on January 1, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The pro forma information,
as presented below, is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have
been obtained had the Transactions occurred on January 1, 2004 and 2003, nor is
it necessarily indicative of the Company's future results (dollars in
thousands):

(ii) management fees to be paid to our Principal Investors, (iii) the

to April 30, 2004 (the "Successor") include the accounts of Amscan Holdings and
its majority-owned and controlled entities. All material intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 two months ended June 30, 2004 and four
months ended April 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2004. 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, 2003 as filed with

The consolidated income tax expense for the one and four months ended
April 30, 2004, the two months ended June 30, 2004, and three and six months
ended June 30, 2003 was determined based upon estimates of the Company's
consolidated effective income tax rates for the four months ended April 30,
2004, the eight months ending December 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31,
2003, respectively. The differences between the consolidated effective income
tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate are primarily attributable to
state income taxes and the effects of foreign operations.

NOTE 7 - CAPITAL STOCK

At June 30, 2004, the Successor Company's authorized capital stock
consisted of 10,000.00 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value, of which no
shares were issued or outstanding and 40,000.00 shares of common stock, $0.01
par value, of which 13,957.88 shares were issued and outstanding at June 30,
2004.

In connection with the Transactions (see Note 2), certain existing
management stockholders purchased 292.41 shares of Successor Common Stock based
on the same price and terms per share as paid by the other equity investors.
Under the terms of both our amended and restated stockholders' agreement, dated
February 20, 2002 and effective through April 30, 2004, and the new AAH Holdings
Corporation stockholders' agreement dated April 30, 2004, the Company has an
option to purchase all of the shares of common stock held by a former employee
and, under certain circumstances, a former employee stockholder can require the
Company to purchase all of the shares held by the


12

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

former employee. The purchase price as prescribed in the stockholders'
agreements is to be determined through a market valuation of the minority-held
shares or, under certain circumstances, based on cost, as defined therein. The
aggregate amount that may be payable by us to all employee stockholders based on
fully paid and vested shares is classified as redeemable common securities on
the consolidated balance sheet at the estimated fair market value of the stock,
with a corresponding adjustment to stockholders' equity. At June 30, 2004, the
aggregate amount that may be payable by the Company to employee stockholders,
based on the estimated market value, was approximately $2,924,000. As there is
no active market for the Company's Common Stock, the Company estimated the fair
value of its Common Stock based on the valuation of Company Common Stock issued
in connection with the Transactions.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and President exchanged 5.4945 and
2.7472 of their shares of Predecessor Common Stock for 100 and 50 shares of
Successor Common Stock with an equivalent value of $1,000,000 and $500,000,
respectively. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer and President exchanged
their 5.607 and 2.804 vested options to purchase shares of Predecessor Common
Stock, which had intrinsic values of $600,000 and $300,000, respectively, for
vested options to purchase 65.455 and 32.727 shares of Successor Common Stock
under the new equity incentive plan with intrinsic values of $492,000 and
$245,000 and estimated fair values of $590,000 and $290,000, respectively. The
fair value of the Successor options was included in the equity contribution
related to the Transactions, however as the Successor options are options to
purchase redeemable common stock their estimated redemption value is classified
as redeemable common securities on the consolidated balance sheet.

At December 31, 2003, an officer of the Company held 3.00 shares of Common
Stock (the "Restricted Stock"), which were to vest in December 2004 under the
terms of his employment agreement. In connection with the Transactions, the 3.00
shares of Restricted Stock vested immediately on April 30, 2004 (see Note 2).
During the one and four months ended April 30, 2004, and the three and six
months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded the amortization of Restricted
Stock of $13,000, $52,000 and $45,000 and $90,000, respectively, as compensation
expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the
company's consolidated statements of operations.

At December 31, 2003, the Company held a note receivable from a former
officer for $655,000, which bore interest at 6.65% and was to mature in March
2009. In connection with the Transactions, the note receivable from the former
officer was repaid on April 30, 2004. In addition, at December 31, 2003, the
Company held a note receivable from a former employee for $25,000, which bore
interest at Libor plus 2% and matured and was repaid in January 2004. These
notes arose in connection with the issuance of shares of Predecessor Common
Stock and were reported on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003,
as an increase in stockholders' deficit.

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 $6,000,000. On March 30, 2004, the annual dividend was
distributed in additional shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Stock. In connection with the Transactions on April 30, 2004, the Company
redeemed all outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Stock at a redemption price per share equal to $182,000 in cash, together with
accrued and unpaid dividends.

NOTE 9 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

GSCP received fees totaling $8,123,000 for services provided in connection
with the Transactions.

In connection with the Transactions, the Company executed a management
agreement with Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio. Pursuant to the
management agreement, Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio will be paid
annual management fees of $833,333 and $416,667, respectively. At June 30, 2004,
accrued management fees payable to Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio
totaled $138,889 and $69,445, respectively. Although the indenture governing the
8.75% senior subordinated notes will permit the payments under the management
agreement, such payments will be restricted during an event of default under the
notes and will be subordinated in right of payment to all obligations due with
respect to the notes in the event of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of
Amscan.

During the one and four months ended April 30, 2004, and three and six
months ended June 30, 2003, the Company sold $235,000, $836,000, $1,634,000, and

purchase price of $900,000. The President used a portion of the proceeds to
repay an outstanding loan balance of $402,000. The Company retired the 6 shares
of Predecessor Common Stock.

NOTE 11 - RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company incurred
charges of $458,000 and $774,000, respectively, resulting from the consolidation
of certain domestic and foreign distribution operations, and the integration of
M&D Industries, Inc. into its balloon operations.

NOTE 12 - STOCK OPTION PLAN

Effective May 1, 2004, the Successor Company has elected to apply the fair
value method of SFAS No. 123 as amended by Financial Accounting Standards No.
148 ("SFAS 148"), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and
Disclosure which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
("SFAS No. 123"). SFAS No. 123 permits entities to recognize as expense, over
the vesting period, the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of
grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 allows entities to apply the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees," which requires the recognition of compensation expense at the
date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds
the exercise price, and to provide pro forma net income disclosures for employee
stock option grants as if the fair value based method defined in SFAS No. 123
had been applied. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition to FAS
123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and
amends the disclosure provisions of FAS 123. Effective with the consummation of
the Transactions (see Note 2), effective May 1, 2004, the Successor Company
adopted SFAS No. 123 and will expense stock options issued after such date using
the fair value method as provided for in SFAS No. 148. No additional options
have been granted by the Successor Company.

Prior to the Transactions, the Predecessor Company elected to apply the
intrinsic value method of APB No. 25 for awards granted under its stock-based
compensation plans and to provide the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No.
123. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in connection with
the issuance of options under the Amscan Holdings, Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive
Plan, the Predecessor's prior plan, through April 30, 2004 as all options were
granted with exercise prices equal to the estimated fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of grant.

Had the Company determined stock-based compensation based on the fair
value of the options granted at the grant date, consistent with the method
prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have been

In connection with the Transactions, all options granted vested
immediately on April 30, 2004 and, except for those held by the Chief Executive
Officer and the President (see Note 7), all were exercised. The Chief Executive
Officer and President exchanged 5.607 and 2.804 vested options to purchase
shares of Predecessor Common Stock, which had intrinsic values of $600,000 and
$300,000, respectively, for vested options to purchase 65.455 and 32.727 shares
of Successor Common Stock under the new equity incentive plan with intrinsic
values of $492,000 and $245,000 and estimated fair values of $590,000 and
$290,000, respectively. Such options were recorded as part of the purchase price
allocations and have been classified as redeemable common securities on the
Company's consolidated balance sheet. No additional options have been granted by
the Predecessor Company.

NOTE 13 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On April 30, 2004, in connection with the consummation of the
Transactions, all borrowings under the then existing credit agreement were
repaid and the facility was terminated. In addition, $87,200,000 in aggregate
principal amount of the 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2007 were accepted
in a tender offer and a redemption notice was issued for the remaining senior
subordinated notes (see Note 2). The aggregate cost to purchase the 9.875%
senior subordinated notes due 2007 tendered pursuant to the tender offer was
approximately $93,500,000, or 103.542% of the principal amount of such 9.875%
senior subordinated notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. On May 31, 2004, the
remaining $22,800,000 in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 9.875%
senior subordinated notes were redeemed pursuant to the redemption notice at a
price of 103.292% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest.

The acquisition was financed with initial borrowings consisting of a
$205,000,000 term loan under a new senior secured credit facility, which
includes a $50,000,000 revolving loan facility, the proceeds from the issuance
of $175,000,000 of 8.75% senior subordinated notes due 2014, the equity
contribution by our Principal Investors and employee stockholders of
$140,479,000, borrowings under the revolver of $23,551,000 and approximately
$2,900,000 of cash on hand.

Borrowings under the new senior secured credit facility, the revolving
loan facility and the $175,000,000 of 8.75% senior subordinated notes due 2014
are guaranteed jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally, by the
following wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the "Guarantors"):

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

THE TRANSACTIONS

On March 26, 2004, Amscan signed an agreement providing for a merger of
Amscan with AAH Acquisition Corporation, or AAH Acquisition, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of AAH Holdings Corporation, or AAH Holdings, an entity jointly
controlled by funds affiliated with Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio
(together the "Principal Investors"). On April 30, 2004, the merger with AAH
Acquisition was consummated, with Amscan continuing as the surviving entity and
as a wholly owned subsidiary of AAH Holdings. Under the terms of the agreement,
the equity interests in Amscan of GS Capital Partners II, L.P. and certain other
private investment funds managed by Goldman, Sachs & Co., which are collectively
referred to as GSCP, and all other stockholders, other than certain management
investors, were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive cash. Cash paid
to consummate the acquisition totaled $530.0 million and was financed with
initial borrowings (before deducting deferred financing costs of $12.7 million)
consisting of a $205.0 million term loan under a new senior secured credit
facility which includes a $50.0 million revolving loan facility, the proceeds
from the issuance of $175.0 million of 8.75% senior subordinated notes due 2014,
the equity contribution, including the Principal Investors and employee
stockholders, of $140.5 million, borrowings under the revolver of $23.6 million
and available cash on hand. Certain existing management shareholders
participated in the Transactions (as defined hereafter) by purchasing
approximately 292.41 shares of common stock. The capital structure disclosed in
the Successor financial statements reflect the equity structure of AAH Holdings.
The Chief Executive Officer and the President of the Company exchanged 5.4945
and 2.7472 of their shares of common stock of the Predecessor Company for 100
and 50 shares of common stock of the Successor Company with an equivalent value
of $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In addition, the Chief Executive
Officer and the President of the Company exchanged vested options to purchase
5.607 and 2.804 shares of Predecessor Company common stock, which had intrinsic
values of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for vested options under
the Successor Company's equity incentive plan with intrinsic values of $0.5
million and $0.2 million and fair values of $0.6 million and $0.3 million,
respectively. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting, and required that the Company adjust its assets and liabilities
to their relative fair values.

The purchase price has been allocated based upon preliminary estimates of
the fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition. The final
allocations will be 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 allocated to
intangible assets consisting of licensing agreements in the amount of $3.0
million, which are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lives
of the contracts (two to three years with an average life of 2.5 years), and
goodwill in the amount of $313.0 million, which is not being amortized. The
acquisition was structured as a purchase of common stock and, accordingly, the
amortization of intangible assets is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Concurrent with the acquisition, the following financing transactions were
also consummated: the repayment of $147.7 million under our then existing senior
secured credit facility and the termination of all commitments under that
facility; the consummation of our tender offer and consent solicitation for
$87.2 million of the $110.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of
our 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2007 for $93.5 million or 103.542% of
the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and the
redemption of the remaining senior subordinated notes for $23.6 million or
103.292% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest;
and repayment of a $8.5 million mortgage obligation with a financial institution
(the acquisition together with the foregoing financing transactions are referred
to herein collectively as the "Transactions").

On May 31, 2004, the remaining outstanding 9.875% senior subordinated
notes due 2007 were redeemed pursuant to the redemption notice. The Company
financed the redemption with borrowings under its new revolving credit facility.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the
periods prior to May 1, 2004 (the "Predecessor") and for the period subsequent
to April 30, 2004 (the "Successor") include the accounts of Amscan Holdings and
its majority-owned and controlled entities. For the purposes of management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations,
financial information for the Predecessor and the Successor have been


29

combined to compare quarterly and year to date information and therefore the
term "Company" refers to Amscan Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries for all
periods presented.

NET SALES. Net sales of $96.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004
were $4.7 million or 4.6% lower than net sales for the quarter ended June 30,
2003 principally due to a general softness in retail markets as well as lower
net sales to party superstores, as certain national chains rationalized
inventories during the first half of 2004 and certain seasonal shipments shifted
from the second quarter into the latter half of 2004. In addition, during the
second quarter of 2004, we experienced inventory shortages on certain products
related to a production disruption at one of the Company's foreign vendors. The
decrease in sales was partially offset by higher net international sales,
principally as a result of foreign currency exchange fluctuations as well as
increases in sales volume.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2004 was
31.9%, or 20 basis points higher as compared to the second quarter of 2003. The
improvement in gross profit margin principally reflects the rationalization of
our metallic balloon operations and the elimination of redundant facilities
costs incurred through April 2003 arising from the Company's transition from
four to three east coast distribution facilities, which were partially offset by
an increase in cost of sales as a result of the write-up of inventories based on
purchase accounting.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Selling expenses of $9.1 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2004 were $0.1 million higher than for the second quarter of 2003
principally due to increased showroom expenses. As a percent of net sales,
selling expenses were 9.4%, or 0.5% higher than in 2003 as the decrease in sales
during second quarter of 2004 occurred principally in non-commissioned sales.

General and administrative expenses of $8.0 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2004 were $0.1 million higher than for the second quarter of 2003. As a
percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 8.3% for the
second quarter of 2004, or 0.5% higher than in 2003. The net increase in general
and administrative expenses principally reflects management fees to our
Principal Investors and higher amortization of other intangible assets, based on
our preliminary purchase price allocation, partially offset by the elimination
of certain general and


30

administrative expenses, as a result of the Company having contributed its
metallic balloon distribution operations located in Mexico to a newly created
joint venture in December 2003. The new joint venture distributes certain
metallic balloons principally in Mexico and Latin America.

Provision for doubtful accounts for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was
$0.5 million or 0.5% of net sales, as compared to $1.4 million or 1.4% of net
sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. During the second quarter of 2003, a
customer filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code and as a result, the Company charged $1.6 million to the
provision for doubtful accounts during the second quarter of 2003. This customer
accounted for approximately 2.6% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the
three months ended June 30, 2003.

Art and development costs of $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2004 were $0.4 million higher as compared to the second quarter of 2003
principally due to increased development of custom product lines. As a
percentage of net sales, art and development costs were 2.8% for the second
quarter of 2004 or 0.5% higher than the second quarter of 2003.

During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company incurred
restructuring charges of $0.5 million, resulting from the consolidation of
certain domestic and foreign distribution operations and the integration of M&D
Industries into its balloon operations.

In connection with the merger in April 2004, the Company has recorded
non-recurring expenses of $11.8 million comprised of $6.2 million of debt
retirement costs and the write-off of $5.5 million of deferred financing costs
associated with the repayment of debt in connection with the Transactions.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense, net, of $6.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 was $0.2 million higher than for the three months
ended June 30, 2003, principally due to the impact of higher average borrowings
partially offset by lower interest rates.

UNDISTRIBUTED LOSS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE. Undistributed loss in
unconsolidated joint venture represents our share of the venture's losses,
including the elimination of intercompany profit in the joint venture's
inventory at June 30, 2004.

INCOME TAXES. Income taxes for the second quarter of 2004 and 2003 were
based upon estimated consolidated effective income tax rates of 39.5% for the
years ending December 31, 2004 and 2003.

NET SALES. Net sales of $196.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2004 were $4.0 million or 2.0% lower than net sales for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 principally due to a general softness in retail markets as well as
lower net sales to party superstores, as certain national chains rationalized
inventories during the first half of 2004 and certain seasonal shipments shifted
from the second quarter into the latter half of 2004. In addition, during the
second quarter of 2004, we experienced inventory shortages on certain products
related to a production disruption at one of our foreign vendors. The decrease
in sales was partially offset by higher net international sales, principally as
a result of foreign currency exchange fluctuations as well as increases in sales
volume.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2004
was 33.1% or 80 basis points higher than for the comparable period in 2003. The
improvement in gross profit margin principally reflects manufacturing,
distribution and other synergies arising from the completion of integration of
M&D Industries, Inc., our 2002 balloon business acquisition, the rationalization
of our metallic balloon operations and the elimination of redundant distribution
costs incurred in the first quarter of 2003 arising from the transition from
four to three east coast distribution facilities. These improvements were
partially offset by the increase in cost of sales as a result of the write-up of
inventories in purchase accounting.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Selling expenses of $18.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 were $0.3 million higher than for the six months ended June
30, 2003, primarily due to increased showroom expenses. As a percentage of net
sales, selling expenses were 9.3%, or 0.3% higher than in 2003, as the decrease
in sales during the first half of 2004 occurred principally in non-commissioned
sales.

General and administrative expenses of $15.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 were $0.2 million lower than for the six months ended June
30, 2004. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were
7.9% for each the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The net
decrease in general and administrative expenses principally reflects lower
consulting and professional fees and the elimination of general and
administrative expenses as a result of the closure, in 2003, of certain
international facilities and the contribution, in December 2003, of our metallic
balloon distribution operations located in Mexico to a newly created joint
venture. The


32

joint venture distributes certain metallic balloons principally in Mexico and
Latin America. These decreases in general and administrative expenses were
partially offset by management fees to our Principal Investors and higher
amortization of other intangible assets, based on a preliminary purchase price
allocation.

Art and development costs of $5.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 2004 were $0.3 million higher as compared to 2003 principally due to
increased development of custom product lines. As a percentage of net sales, art
and development costs were 2.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 or 0.2%
higher than in 2003.

Provision for doubtful accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was
$1.1 million or 0.5% of net sales, as compared to $2.0 million or 1.0% of net
sales for six months ended June 30, 2003. During the second quarter of 2003, a
customer filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code and, as a result, the Company charged $1.6 million to the
provision for doubtful accounts during the second quarter of 2003. This customer
accounted for approximately 1.7% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the
six months ended June 30, 2003.

In connection with the merger in April 2004, the Company has recorded
non-recurring expenses of $11.8 million comprised of $6.2 million of debt
retirement costs and the write-off of $5.5 million of deferred financing costs
associated with the repayment of debt in connection with the Transactions.

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company incurred
restructuring charges of $0.8 million, resulting from the consolidation of
certain domestic and foreign distribution operations, and the integration of M&D
Industries, Inc. into our balloon operations.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense, net, of $13.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 was $0.1 million lower than for the six months ended
June 30, 2003, principally due to the impact of lower interest rates partially
offset by higher average borrowings.

UNDISTRIBUTED LOSS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE. Undistributed loss in
unconsolidated joint venture represents our share of the venture's start-up
losses, including the elimination of intercompany profit in the joint venture's
inventory on hand at June 30, 2004.

INCOME TAXES. Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
were based upon estimated consolidated effective income tax rates of 39.5% for
the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our new senior secured credit facility contains financial covenants and
maintenance tests, including a minimum interest coverage test and a maximum
total leverage test, and restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our
ability to make capital expenditures or pay dividends. Our new senior secured
credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of
some of our subsidiaries, and by a pledge of all of our domestic subsidiaries'
capital stock and a portion of our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries' capital
stock.

The Company's new term loan provides for amortization (in quarterly
installments) of 1.0% per annum through June 30, 2010, and will then amortize in
equal quarterly payments through June 30, 2012. The new term loan bears
interest, at the option of the Company, at the index rate plus 1.75% per annum
or at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum. At June 30, 2004, the new term loan was $205.0
million and the floating interest rate on the new term loan was 3.96%. The
Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction on June 25, 2004 with a
financial institution initially covering $10.5 million of its outstanding
borrowings under the new term loan. The notional amount, ranging from $10.5
million to $37.0 million, will vary over time and is covered by an interest rate
swap contract.

Revolving loans under the new senior credit facility expire on April 30,
2010 and bear interest, at the option of the Company, at the index rate plus,
based on performance, a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% per annum, or at
LIBOR plus, based on performance, a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% per
annum. At June 30, 2004, the Company


33

had borrowings under the new revolver totaling $11.6 million and the floating
interest rate on the revolver was 4.51% at June 30, 2004. Standby letters of
credit totaling $7.1 million were outstanding and the Company had borrowing
capacity of approximately $31.3 million under the terms of the revolver at June
30, 2004.

On April 30, 2004, in connection with the merger, the then existing senior
secured credit facility of $147.7 million was repaid in addition to the
termination of all commitments under that facility.

At June 30, 2004 we have a 400,000 Canadian dollar denominated revolving
credit facility which bears interest at the Canadian prime rate plus 0.6% and
expires on June 30, 2005, 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 May 31, 2005, and a $1.0 million revolving credit facility which
bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% and expires on December 31, 2004. We expect to
renew these revolving credit facilities upon expiration. No borrowings were
outstanding under these revolving credit facilities at June 30, 2004.

Long-term borrowings at June 30, 2004 include a mortgage note with the New
York State Job Development Authority of $8.7 million which requires monthly
payments based on a 180-month amortization period with a balloon payment upon
maturity in January 2010. The mortgage note bears interest at the rate of 3.03%,
and is subject to review and adjustment semi-annually based on the New York
State Job Development Authority's confidential internal protocols. The mortgage
note relates to a distribution facility and is collateralized by the related
real estate asset located in Chester, New York. On April 30, 2004, in connection
with the Transactions, the first lien mortgage note of $8.5 million was paid in
full. The first lien mortgage note bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%. However,
we utilized an interest rate swap agreement to effectively fix the loan rate at
8.40% for the term of the loan and the related interest rate swap agreement was
terminated at a cost of $0.7 million on April 30, 2004 in connection with the
Transactions.

In connection with the Transactions on April 30, 2004, the Company
redeemed all outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Stock at a redemption price per share equal to $182,000 in cash, together with
accrued and unpaid dividends.

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 costs. Rent expense for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003, totaled $5.9 million and $6.5 million, respectively. The
minimum lease payments currently required under non-cancelable operating leases
for the year ending December 31, 2004 approximate $12.5 million.

In connection with the Transactions, we executed a management agreement
with our Principal Investors, Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio.
Pursuant to the management agreement, Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio
will be paid annual management fees of $0.8 million and $0.4 million,
respectively. Although the indenture governing the 8.75% senior subordinated
notes will permit the payments under the management agreement, such payments
will be restricted during an event of default under the notes and will be
subordinated in right of payment to all obligations due with respect to the
notes in the event of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of Amscan.

We expect that cash generated from operating activities and availability
under our new senior secured credit facility will be our principal sources of
liquidity. Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flow
from operations and available cash and available borrowings under our new senior
secured credit facility will be adequate to meet out liquidity needs for at
least the next twelve months. We cannot assure you, however, that our business
will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings
will be available to us under our new senior secured credit facility in an
amount sufficient to enable us to repay our indebtedness, including the notes,
or to fund our other liquidity needs.

CASH FLOW DATA - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2003

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June
30, 2004 and 2003, totaled $14.4 million and $8.8 million, respectively. Net
cash flow provided by operating activities before changes in operating


34

assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, was
$21.5 million and $19.4 million, respectively. Changes in operating assets and
liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, resulted in the use
of cash of $7.1 million and $10.6 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, net cash used in investing
activities of $534.6 million consisted of cash paid of $530.0 million to
consummate the Transactions in connection with the merger on April 30, 2004 and
$4.8 million additional investments in distribution and manufacturing equipment,
partially offset by proceeds from the sales of equipment and available-for-sale
securities. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2003 of $7.5 million primarily consisted of additional investments in
distribution and manufacturing equipment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, net cash provided by financing
activities of $490.2 million included proceeds totaling $378.9 million from
short-term borrowings under the revolver and debt issued in connection with the
Transactions, net of deferred financing costs of $12.7 million. Net cash
provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004, also
included capital contributions in connection with the merger and the repayment
of a note receivable by an employee partially offset by scheduled payments on
the then existing term loan and other long-term obligations, a required
prepayment of the then existing term loan of $20.2 million based on our excess
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003 and debt retirement costs
totaling $6.2 million paid in connection with the Transactions. During the six
months ended June 30, 2003, net cash used in financing activities of $1.6
million consisted of the scheduled payment on the then existing term loan and
other long-term obligations, the purchase of common stock from the Chief
Executive Officer, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock
options and the repayment of the note from the Chief Executive Officer.

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.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements."
Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future
events. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "project" or "continue" or the negative
thereof and similar words. From time to time, we also may provide oral or
written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public.
Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this quarterly report and in any
public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by
inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or
uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed.
Actual results may vary materially. Investors are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on any forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements,
include, but are not limited to: our inability to satisfy our debt obligations,
the reduction of volume of purchases by one or more of our large customers, our
inability to collect receivables from our customers, the termination of our
licenses, our inability to identify and capitalize on changing design trends and
customer preferences, changes in the competitive environment, increases in the
costs of raw materials and the possible risks and uncertainties that have been
noted in reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

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 have utilized 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


35

three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, our interest expense, after
considering the effects of our interest rate swap agreements, would have
increased, and income before income taxes and minority interest would have
decreased, by $1.3 million and $0.6 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, 2004 and 2003, our interest
expense, after considering the effects of our interest rate swap agreements,
would have increased, and income before income taxes and minority interest would
have decreased, by $1.7 million and $1.3 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 the value of the U.S.
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 for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. A uniform 10% strengthening in the value of
the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies in which our foreign sales are
denominated would have resulted in a decrease in gross profit of $0.9 million
and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures performed by the Company's management, with the
participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial
Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

As used herein, "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and
other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the
Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described in the
preceding paragraph that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended June
30, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
