The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows was inadvertently changed by our third party service provider and presented four numbers as negative which should have been positive. Part I Item 1. Business General CSS Industries, Inc. ("CSS" or the "Company") is a consumer products company primarily engaged in the design, manufacture, procurement and sale to mass market retailers of seasonal, social expression products, including gift wrap, gift bags, boxed greeting cards, gift tags, tissue paper, paper and vinyl decorations, classroom exchange Valentines, decorative ribbons and bows, Halloween masks, costumes, make-ups and novelties, Easter egg dyes and novelties and educational products. CSS provides its retail customers the opportunity to use a single vendor for much of their seasonal product requirements. CSS' product breadth, product innovation, creative design, manufacturing and packaging flexibility, product quality and customer service are key to sustaining the Company's market leadership position. A substantial portion of CSS' products are manufactured, packaged and warehoused in twenty-one North American facilities, with the remainder purchased primarily from Asian manufacturers. The Company's products are sold to its customers by national and regional account managers and by a network of independent manufacturers' representatives. The Company is comprised of The Paper Magic Group, Inc. ("Paper Magic"), acquired by the Company in August 1988, Berwick Industries LLC ("Berwick"), acquired in May 1993, and Cleo Inc ("Cleo"), acquired in November 1995. During March 2002, Berwick completed the acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of the portion of C. M. Offray & Son, Inc. ("Offray") which manufactures and sells decorative ribbon products, floral accessories and narrow fabrics for apparel, craft and packaging applications. Subsequent to the acquisition, Berwick changed its name to Berwick Offray LLC ("Berwick Offray"). The Company has experienced growth through a combination of acquisitions and the expansion of existing operations. The Company's goal is to continue to expand by developing new or complementary products, by entering new markets, by acquiring companies that are complementary with its existing operating business and by acquiring other businesses with leading market positions. Principal Products CSS designs, manufactures and distributes a broad range of seasonal consumer products primarily through the mass market distribution channel. Christmas products include gift wrap, gift bags, boxed greeting cards, gift tags, tissue paper, paper and vinyl decorations, and decorative ribbons and bows. CSS' Valentine product offerings include classroom exchange Valentine cards and other related Valentine products, while its Easter product offerings include Dudley's(R) brand of Easter egg dyes and related Easter seasonal products. For Halloween, CSS offers a full line of Halloween merchandise including make-up, costumes, masks and novelties. In addition to seasonal products, CSS also designs and markets decorative ribbons and bows to its mass market, retail and wholesale distribution customers and teachers' aids to the education market through the mass market, school supply distributors and direct-to-retail teachers' stores. CSS manufactures and warehouses its products in twenty-one facilities located in Pennsylvania, Maryland, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, New York and Canada. Boxed greeting cards, gift tags, paper and vinyl decorations and classroom exchange Valentine products are primarily produced and warehoused in six facilities in central and northeastern Pennsylvania. Manufacturing processes include a wide range of finishing, assembly and packaging operations. Halloween make-up and Easter egg dye products are manufactured to specific proprietary formulae by contract manufacturers who meet regulatory requirements for the formularization and packaging of such products and are distributed from one facility in northeastern Pennsylvania and one facility in New York. Ribbons and bows are manufactured and warehoused in thirteen facilities located in northeastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, South Carolina, Alabama, Texas and Canada. The manufacturing process is vertically integrated. Non woven ribbon and bow products are primarily made from polypropylene resin, a petroleum-based product, which is mixed with color pigment, melted and pressed through an extruder. Large rolls of extruded film go through various combinations of manufacturing processes before being made into bows or packaged on ribbon spools or reels as required by various markets and customers. Woven fabric ribbons are manufactured both domestically and in Mexico and sourced from Asia and Latin America. Domestic woven products are either narrow woven or converted from bulk rolls of wide width textiles. Manufacturing of gift wrap, including web printing, finishing, rewinding and packaging are performed in one facility in Memphis, Tennessee. Finished goods are warehoused and shipped from both the production facility and a separate facility in Memphis. Other products, designed to the specifications of CSS, are imported from Asian manufacturers. - 1 - Sales and Marketing Most of CSS' products are sold in the United States and Canada by national and regional account sales managers, inside sales representatives, product specialists and by a network of independent manufacturers' representatives. CSS maintains permanent showrooms in New York City, Memphis, Minneapolis, Dallas, Atlanta and Hong Kong where major retail buyers will typically visit for a presentation and review of the new lines. Products are also displayed and presented in showrooms maintained by these representatives in major cities in the United States and Canada. Relationships are developed with key retail customers by CSS sales personnel and the independent manufacturers' representatives. Customers are generally mass merchandise retailers, warehouse clubs, drug and food chains, independent card shops and retail teachers' stores. CSS' revenues are primarily seasonal with approximately 68% of sales related to the Christmas season and the remaining sales relating to the Halloween, Easter and Valentine's Day seasons and all-occasion product sales. Seasonal products are generally designed and marketed beginning approximately eighteen to twenty months before the event and manufactured during an eight to ten month production cycle. With such long lead time requirements, timely communication with outsourcing factories, retail customers and independent manufacturers' representatives is critical to the timely production of seasonal products. Because the products themselves are primarily seasonal, sales terms do not generally require payment until after the holiday, in accordance with industry practice. In general, CSS products are not sold under guaranteed or return privilege terms. All-occasion ribbon and bow products are also sold through inside sales representatives or independent manufacturers representatives to wholesale distributors and independent small retailers who serve the floral, craft and retail packaging trades. The Company also sells custom products to private label customers, to other social expression companies, and to converters of the company's bulk gift wrap or ribbon products. Custom products are sold by both independent manufacturers' representatives and CSS sales managers. Due to the ever increasing competitive retail environment, CSS plays a crucial role in helping the retailer develop programs to meet revenue objectives while appealing to consumers' tastes. These objectives are met through the development and manufacture of custom configured and designed products. CSS' years of experience in program development and product quality are key competitive advantages in helping retailers meet their objectives. Competition CSS' principal competitor in Christmas products is Plus Mark, Inc. (a subsidiary of American Greetings Corporation). Image Arts, a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards, Inc., is also a competitor in the boxed greeting card business. Historically, CSS has not competed directly, except to a limited extent, with other product offerings of Hallmark Cards, Inc. and American Greetings Corporation. In recent years, these companies have expanded their promotional offerings to the mass market retail distribution channel. CSS also competes with various companies in each of its other seasonal product offerings. Certain of these competitors are larger and have greater resources than the Company. CSS believes its products are positioned adequately for continued growth in their primary markets. Since competition is based primarily on price, timely delivery, creative design and increasingly, the ability to serve major retail customers with single, combined product shipments for each holiday event, CSS' product driven focus combined with consistent service levels allows it to compete effectively in its core markets. - 2 - Employees At May 16, 2002, approximately 3,600 persons were employed by CSS (increasing to approximately 4,870 as seasonal employees are added). With the exception of the bargaining units at the gift wrap facilities in Memphis, Tennessee and the ribbon manufacturing facilities in Hagerstown, Maryland, which totaled 725 employees as of May 16, 2002, CSS employees are not represented by labor unions. Because of the seasonal nature of certain of its businesses, the number of production employees fluctuates during the year. The Company believes that relationships with its employees are good. - 3 - Item 2.

(c) Dividends The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its Common Stock for more than the past three fiscal years. The ability of the Company to pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock is dependent on the Company's earnings and profits and cash requirements and is further limited by the terms of the Company's revolving line of credit. The Company does not anticipate that it will declare or pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock for the foreseeable future. At May 16, 2002, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding. - 5 - Item 6.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Business Acquisitions and Divestitures On March 15, 2002, a subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of the portion of C. M. Offray & Son, Inc. ("Offray") which manufactures and sells decorative ribbon products, floral accessories and narrow fabrics for apparel, craft and packaging applications. Berwick acquired substantially all of the business and assets of Offray for approximately $44,800,000 in cash (paid from cash on hand). The purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment depending upon Offray's working capital on the date of the closing. A portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow to cover purchase price adjustments and indemnification obligations. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the cost approximated the fair market value of the net assets acquired. On May 8, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets of Tye-Sil Corporation Ltd. of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Tye-Sil had been the leading Canadian provider of gift wrap and accessories. In consideration, the Company paid approximately $7,849,000 in cash, including transaction costs. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the cost approximated the fair market value of the net assets acquired. Subsequent to the acquisition, the operations of Tye-Sil were consolidated into existing operations of the Company. On August 18, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets and the business of Party Professionals, Inc. Party Professionals designed and marketed highly crafted latex masks, helmets and accessories sold to mass merchandisers, drug chains, party stores and gift shops. In consideration, the Company paid $6,000,000 in cash and assumed and repaid $1,606,000 of outstanding debt. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the excess of cost over fair market value of $6,697,000 was recorded as goodwill in the accompanying balance sheet and until the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on April 1, 2002 was being amortized over twenty years. Subsequent to the acquisition, the operations of Party Professionals, now known as Don Post Studios, Inc., were consolidated into existing operations of the Company. Litigation In February 1999, CSS was awarded approximately $11,200,000, including interest, in settlement of a dispute primarily related to the valuation of inventory acquired in the 1995 acquisition of Cleo Inc. The funds were subsequently released from escrow. The award had no impact on 1999 results of operations. Seasonality and Change in Fiscal Year On February 21, 2001, CSS' Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31. The transition period commenced January 1, 2001 and ended March 31, 2001. The Company's new fiscal year began April 1, 2001 and ended March 31, 2002 ("fiscal 2002"). With this change, the Company's new fiscal year coincides with its natural revenue cycle. The seasonal nature of CSS' business results in low sales and operating losses in the first and fourth quarters and high shipment levels and operating profits in the second and third quarters of the Company's new fiscal year, thereby causing significant fluctuations in the quarterly results of operations of the Company. - 7 - Because of the seasonality and the general industry practice of deferred payment terms, a material portion of the Company's trade receivables are collected in December and January, thus enabling the Company to repay the short-term debt borrowed to fund the inventory and accounts receivable build-up during the year. Results of Operations Fiscal 2002 Compared to Calendar 2000 - ------------------------------------- Consolidated sales for fiscal 2002 increased 1% to $424,309,000 from $421,084,000 in calendar 2000. The increase was primarily due to incremental sales from businesses acquired in fiscal 2002. Excluding incremental volume of Tye-Sil and Offray, sales declined 3% as a cautious retail environment brought on by a weak economy restricted seasonal purchases of large retailers. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales improved to 73% in fiscal 2002 from 74% in calendar 2000, as improved manufacturing efficiencies and foreign sourcing combined to improve gross margins. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was 19% in fiscal 2002 and 18% in calendar 2000. The increase was primarily the result of the write-off related to the Kmart Chapter XI bankruptcy filing. Excluding this event, S,G&A expenses, as a percentage of sales, were in line with the prior year. Income from operations grew 6% to $35,489,000 in fiscal 2002 from $33,363,000 in calendar 2000. Excluding the impact of the write-off related to the Kmart Chapter XI bankruptcy filing, operating income increased 17% to $38,969,000. Interest expense decreased 63% to $1,898,000 from $5,080,000 in calendar 2000. The decrease was due to lower interest rates and reduced borrowings as a result of operational cash flow and improved balance sheet management. Income before taxes was $33,455,000, or 8% of sales in fiscal 2002 and $28,406,000, or 7% of sales in calendar 2000. Net income for the year ended March 31, 2002 increased 18% to $21,501,000 from $18,231,000 in calendar 2000. Net income per diluted share increased 19% to $2.40 from $2.02 in calendar 2000. Transition Quarter Ended March 31, 2001 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consolidated sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were $26,987,000 or 10% above 2000 sales of $24,589,000. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to customer requested deferrals of Valentine and Easter shipments from the fourth quarter of 2000 and increased sales of ribbons and bows to the wholesale distribution channel. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of product lines discontinued in early 2000 and lower closeout sales. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was 74% in 2001 and 72% in 2000. The increase in cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was primarily due to a charge to markdown excess inventories. Interest expense, net decreased to $48,000 from $396,000 in 2000. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower borrowing levels as a result of the cash generated from operations and improved management of working capital. - 8 - Income taxes, as a percentage of income before taxes, were 34% in 2001 and 36% in 2000. The decreased rate for the period ended March 31, 2001 reflects the effective tax rate for the three month transition period compared to an estimated annual effective rate utilized for the three month period ended March 31, 2000. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $6,080,000, or $.69 per share compared to a net loss of $6,147,000, or $.66 per share, in 2000. The decreased loss was due primarily to lower interest expense. Calendar 2000 Compared to Calendar 1999 - --------------------------------------- Consolidated sales for 2000 increased 3% to $421,084,000 from $408,867,000. The increase in 2000 sales was primarily attributable to 4% growth in CSS' base seasonal businesses as reduced sales of discontinued products partially offset the overall improvement in volume. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 74% in 2000 and 75% in 1999. The improvement in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in 2000 was due to improved efficiencies in the Company's manufacturing and distribution operations. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was 18% in 2000 and 17% in 1999. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs in 2000 was primarily due to costs associated with the decentralization of the Company's management structure. Interest expense, net was $5,080,000 in 2000 and $4,294,000 in 1999. Interest expense increased in 2000 primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates as operating cash flow was largely offset by incremental borrowings to repurchase the Company's stock. Rental and other income, net was $123,000 in 2000 and $959,000 in 1999. The current year decrease was due to the absence in 2000 of income from the 1999 restructuring of a portion of the Company's deferred compensation liability. Income before income taxes was $28,406,000, or 7% of sales in 2000 and $28,442,000, or 7% of sales in 1999. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased 1% to $18,231,000. Net income per diluted share increased 10% in 2000 to $2.02. Earnings per share in 2000 and 1999 were benefited by the Company's stock repurchase program. The cumulative buyback of stock added $.18 and $.11, respectively to income from continuing operations per diluted share. Inflation The financial statements are presented on a historical cost basis and do not fully reflect the impact of prior years' inflation. The U.S. inflation rate has been modest the past several years and the Company conducts the majority of its business using U.S. currency. The ability to pass on inflationary costs is uncertain due to general economic conditions and competitive situations. The Company attempts to alleviate inflationary material and labor pressures by increasing selling prices to help offset rising costs (subject to competitive conditions), increasing productivity, and improving design and manufacturing techniques. - 9 - Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 2002, the Company had working capital of $125,398,000 and stockholders' equity of $234,845,000. The increase in accounts receivable, net of reserves, from $20,174,000 in 2001 to $30,021,000 in 2002 was a result of additional accounts receivable of $10,230,000 related to the acquisition of Offray. Inventories, net of reserves, increased from $82,140,000 to $98,541,000 due to additional inventory of $27,269,000 related to the current year acquisition of Offray, partially offset by the decrease in inventory of the Company's base businesses as a result of improved inventory management. The increase in other current assets is primarily due to the Claims Put Agreement which allowed the Company to transfer a portion of its pre-petition Kmart receivable to a third party. Capital expenditures were $10,007,000 and $13,877,000 in fiscal 2002 and calendar 2000, respectively, and consisted primarily of costs related to the implementation of an integrated computer system in one of the Company's subsidiaries and purchases of machinery and equipment. The increase in accrued restructuring expenses and accrued expenses relates to the acquisition of Offray. The Company relies primarily on cash generated from its operations and seasonal borrowings to meet its liquidity requirements. Most CSS revenues are seasonal with approximately 68% percent of sales being Christmas related. As payment for sales of Christmas related products is usually not received until after the respective holiday in accordance with general industry practice, short-term borrowing needs increase throughout the second and third quarters, peaking prior to Christmas and dropping thereafter. Seasonal borrowings are made under a $75,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility with five banks and a receivable purchase agreement in an amount up to $100,000,000 with an issuer of receivables-backed commercial paper. These financial facilities are available to fund the seasonal borrowing needs and to provide the Company with sources of capital for general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2002, there were no amounts outstanding under these facilities. For information concerning these credit facilities, see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. On February 19, 1998, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the buyback of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Subsequently, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors authorized additional repurchases of shares on terms acceptable to management. The cumulative authorized repurchase amount is 3,000,000 shares. Any such buy back is subject to compliance with regulatory requirements and relevant covenants of the Company's credit facility. The Company repurchased 327,000 shares for $9,409,000 and 543,200 shares for $10,861,000 in fiscal 2002 and calendar 2000, respectively. There were no stock repurchases during the transition period of January 1, 2001 through March 31, 2001. Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes its sources of available capital are adequate to meet its ongoing cash needs for the foreseeable future. Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998 and June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." These statements establish accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 also require that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, on January 1, 2001, as required. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 was not material to the consolidated statements of operations or financial position of the Company. - 10 - In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations be accounted for by the purchase method and adds disclosure requirements related to business combination transactions. SFAS No. 141 also establishes criteria for the recognition of intangible assets apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. The Statement provides that goodwill and some intangibles will no longer be amortized. SFAS No. 142 provides specific guidance for testing goodwill for impairment. The Statement also requires new disclosure of information about goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective with the beginning of its next fiscal year, April 1, 2002, and will discontinue the amortization of goodwill at that time. As of March 31, 2002, goodwill totaled $39,715,000 and negative goodwill totaled $2,393,000. For the year ended March 31, 2002, net amortization expense was $1,213,000. Based on a preliminary review of the new standard, management believes the Company will record a goodwill impairment charge upon adoption of approximately $8,000,000, net of taxes, which includes the reversal of negative goodwill. This non-cash charge will be recorded as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. However, the Company has not completed its evaluation to determine the exact amount of such a charge. Also, the Company believes this charge will not affect the financial covenant calculations under the Company's credit agreement. SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," was issued in June 2001. SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for legal obligations and related costs associated with the retirement of long-lived assets. The Statement requires that the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The estimated retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Based on current operations, the Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations. SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," was issued in August 2001 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This statement retains existing requirements to recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and measure any impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 144 a) removes goodwill from its scope, b) allows for probability-weighted cash flow estimation techniques when measuring for impairment, c) requires that, for any assets to be abandoned, the depreciable life be adjusted and the cumulative impact of such change treated as an accounting change and d) an impairment loss be recognized at the date a long-lived asset is exchanged for a similar productive asset or distributed to owners in a spinoff if the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Based on current operations, the Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations. Significant Accounting Policies A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables the Company to provide the users of the financial statements with useful and reliable information about the Company's operating results and financial condition. - 11 - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Company's accounting policies in many areas. For example, in determining the valuation of inventory and accounts receivable reserves. Other areas in which uncertainties exist include, but are not limited to, income tax valuation and resolution of litigation. Actual results will inevitably differ to some extent from the estimates on which the Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared at any given point in time. Despite these inherent limitations, management believes that the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis and audited financial statements provide a meaningful and fair perspective on the Company. Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements This document contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include certain information related to the Company's capital resources and the costs related to operational decisions, as well as information contained elsewhere in this report where statements are preceded by, followed by, or include the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates" or similar expressions. For such statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including without limitation, general market conditions, increased competition, and factors discussed elsewhere in this report and the documents incorporated herein by reference. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company's primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is to changes in interest rates. Pursuant to the Company's line of credit, a change in either the lender's base rate or LIBOR would affect the rate at which the Company could borrow funds thereunder. Based on average borrowings of $32,670,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002, a 1% increase or decrease in current market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense by $326,700. - 12 - CSS INDUSTRIES, INC.

(a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the years ended March 31, 2002, December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the three month period ended March 31, 2001. These consolidated financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CSS Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2002, December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the three month period ended March 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CSS Industries, Inc. ("Company") and all subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Translation adjustments are charged or credited to a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are not material and are included in rental and other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Nature of Business CSS Industries, Inc. ("CSS" or the "Company") is a consumer products company primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and sale to mass market retailers of seasonal, social expression products, including gift wrap, gift bags, boxed greeting cards, gift tags, tissue paper, paper and vinyl decorations, classroom exchange Valentines, decorative ribbons and bows, Halloween masks, costumes, make-ups and novelties, Easter egg dyes and novelties and educational products. CSS provides its retail customers the opportunity to use a single vendor for much of their seasonal product requirements. CSS' product breadth, product innovation, creative design, manufacturing and packaging flexibility, product quality and customer service are key to sustaining the Company's market leadership position. A substantial portion of CSS' products are manufactured, packaged and warehoused in twenty-one North American facilities, with the remainder purchased primarily from Asian manufacturers. The Company's products are sold to its retail customers by national and regional account managers and product specialists and by a network of independent manufacturers' representatives. The Company is comprised of The Paper Magic Group, Inc. ("Paper Magic"), acquired by the Company in August 1988, Berwick Industries LLC ("Berwick"), acquired in May 1993, and Cleo Inc ("Cleo"), acquired in November 1995. During March 2002, Berwick completed the acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of the portion of C. M. Offray & Son, Inc. ("Offray") which manufactures and sells decorative ribbon products, floral accessories and narrow fabrics for apparel, craft and packaging applications. Subsequent to the acquisition, Berwick changed its name to Berwick Offray LLC. Change in Fiscal Year On February 21, 2001, CSS' Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31. The transition period began January 1, 2001 and ended March 31, 2001. The Company's new fiscal year began April 1, 2001 and ended March 31, 2002. With this change, the Company's new fiscal year will coincide with its natural revenue cycle. Reclassification Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current-year classification. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. - 21 - Inventories The Company records inventory at the date of taking title which generally occurs upon receipt or prior to shipment of in-transit inventory of overseas product. The Company adjusts unsalable and slow-moving inventory to its net realizable value. Substantially all of the Company's inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market. The remaining portion of the inventory is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out cost or market. Had all inventories been valued at the lower of FIFO cost or market, inventories would have been greater by $1,147,000 and $1,180,000 at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Inventories consisted of the following: (in thousands) 2002 2001 -------- --------- Raw material $25,196 $17,795 Work-in-process 28,612 30,375 Finished goods 44,733 33,970 -------- ------- $98,541 $82,140 ======= ======= Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided generally on the straight-line method and are based on estimated useful lives or terms of leases as follows: Buildings, leasehold interests and improvements................. Lease term to 40 years Machinery, equipment and other.................................. 3 to 12 years When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts. Any gain or loss from the disposition of property, plant and equipment is included in other income. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Intangible Assets Intangible assets, including goodwill, are amortized over terms from five to forty years. Long Lived Assets The Company periodically evaluates the net realizable value of long lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. An impairment in the carrying value of an asset is assessed when the undiscounted, expected future operating cash flows derived from the asset are less than its carrying value. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses certain derivative financial instruments as part of its risk management strategy to reduce interest rate and currency risk. Derivatives are not used for trading or speculative activities. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," on January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 was not material to the consolidated statements of operations or financial position of the Company. - 22 - The Company recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative instrument is entered into, the Company generally designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment ("fair value hedge"), or (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability ("cash flow hedge"). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as, and meets all the required criteria for, a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as, and meets all the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. The portion of the change in fair value of a derivative associated with hedge ineffectiveness or the component of a derivative instrument excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded currently in earnings. Also, changes in the entire fair value of a derivative that is not designated as a hedge are recorded immediately in earnings. The company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes relating all derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether each derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or if a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. The Company enters into foreign currency contracts in order to reduce the impact of certain foreign currency fluctuations. Firmly committed transactions and the related receivables and payables may be hedged with forward exchange contracts. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in income or expense as offsets of gains and losses resulting from the underlying hedged transactions. The notional amount of open forward exchange contracts as of March 31, 2002 and 2001 was $26,000 and $1,630,000, respectively, and the related gains and losses were not material. During 2001, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements, with maturities through January 2004, to manage its exposure to interest rate movements by effectively converting a portion of its anticipated working capital debt from variable to fixed rates. The average annual notional amounts of interest rate swap contracts subject to fixed rates were $32,838,000, $21,890,000 and $10,946,000 for fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. These agreements involve the exchange of variable rate payments for fixed rate payments without the effect of leverage and without the exchange of the underlying face amount. Fixed interest rate payments are at a weighted average rate of 4.82%, 4.96% and 5.09% for fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Variable rate payments are based on one month U.S. dollar LIBOR. Interest rate differentials paid or received under these agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense. The fair value of interest rate swap agreements is included in other current liabilities and totaled $262,000 and $66,000 as of March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Income Taxes The Company follows the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. - 23 - Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped and the title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Provisions for allowances and rebates to customers, returns and other adjustments are provided in the same period that the related sales are recorded. Product Development Costs Product development costs consist of purchases of outside artwork, printing plates and cylinders. The Company classifies these costs as prepaid. They are amortized monthly over the selling season and recorded in selling, general and administrative expense. Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs Shipping and handling fees and costs are reported in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.

(2) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES: On March 15, 2002, a subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of the portion of C. M. Offray & Son, Inc. which manufactures and sells decorative ribbon products, floral accessories and narrow fabrics for apparel, craft and packaging applications. Berwick acquired substantially all of the business and assets of Offray for approximately $44,800,000 in cash (paid from cash on hand). The purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment depending upon Offray's working capital on the date of the closing. A portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow to cover purchase price adjustments and indemnification obligations. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the cost approximated the fair market value of the net assets acquired. In conjunction with the acquisition of Offray, the Company's management approved a restructuring plan. As part of this plan, the Company accrued $4,541,000 on the day of acquisition for severance and costs related to the closure of certain facilities. - 25 - The unaudited consolidated results of operations of the Company and Offray on a pro forma basis as though the transaction had been consummated at the beginning of the respective years were as follows: Year Ended Year Ended March 31, 2002 December 31, 2000 -------------- ----------------- Sales $523,141 $516,452 Net income 21,889 18,527 Net income per common share Basic $2.48 $2.05 Diluted $2.44 $2.05 Pro forma adjustments included in the above reflect the effect of purchase accounting adjustments on interest, depreciation, amortization and tax expense. On May 8, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets of Tye-Sil Corporation Ltd. of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Tye-Sil had been the leading Canadian provider of gift wrap and accessories. In consideration, the Company paid approximately $7,849,000 in cash, including transaction costs. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the cost approximated the fair market value of the net assets acquired. Subsequent to the acquisition, the operations of Tye-Sil were consolidated into existing operations of the Company. On August 18, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets and the business of Party Professionals, Inc. Party Professionals designed and marketed highly crafted latex masks, helmets and accessories sold to mass merchandisers, drug chains, party stores and gift shops. In consideration, the Company paid $6,000,000 in cash and assumed and repaid $1,606,000 of outstanding debt. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the excess of cost over fair market value of $6,697,000 was recorded as goodwill in the accompanying balance sheet and until the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on April 1, 2002 was being amortized over twenty years. As of December 31, 1999, the operations of Party Professionals, now known as Don Post Studios, Inc., were consolidated into existing operations of the Company. (3) TREASURY STOCK TRANSACTIONS: On February 19, 1998, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the buyback of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Subsequently, the Board of Directors authorized repurchases of an additional 2,000,000 shares on terms acceptable to management. The Company repurchased 327,000 shares for $9,409,000, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, 543,200 shares for $10,861,000 in calendar 2000 and 942,451 shares for $21,505,000 in calendar 1999. There were no stock repurchases for the three month transition period ended March 31, 2001. (4) STOCK OPTION PLANS: Under the terms of the CSS Industries, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors ("2000 Plan"), non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock are available for grant to non-employee directors at exercise prices of not less than fair market value on the date of grant. Options to purchase 4,000 shares of the Company's common stock are to be granted automatically to each non-employee director on the last day that the Company's common stock is traded in November from 2001 to 2005. Each option will expire ten years after the date the option is granted and options may be exercised at the rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date of grant. At March 31, 2002, options to acquire 180,000 shares were available for grant under the 2000 Plan. - 26 - Under the terms of the 1994 Equity Compensation Plan ("1994 Plan"), the Human Resources Committee ("Committee") of the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights or combinations thereof to officers and other key employees. Grants under the 1994 Plan may be made through November 2004 and are exercisable at the discretion of the Committee but in no event greater than ten years from the date of grant. Options may be exercised at the rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date of grant. At March 31, 2002, options to acquire 5,810 shares were available for grant under the 1994 Plan. On February 5, 2002, 108,500 shares were approved for grant by the Human Resources Committee, but with the concurrence of the grantees thereof, these grants are subject to stockholder approval of the Plan Amendment to increase eligible shares. On May 17, 2000 the Committee authorized the amendment of the option exercise period of each grant that would have otherwise expired on or before January 31, 2001 to extend such period for two years, and on November 3, 2000 further authorized the amendment of the option exercise period of each grant (including those option exercise periods extended on May 17, 2000) to ten years from the respective date of each such grant. The Company recorded compensation expense of $93,000 as a result of these amendments which represented the difference between the market value of the shares and the exercise price on the date of the amendments. The CSS Industries, Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors ("1995 Plan"), under which non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 300,000 shares of common stock were available for grant to non-employee directors at exercise prices of not less than fair market value on the date of grant, expired on December 31, 2000. Options to purchase 4,000 shares of the Company's common stock were to be granted automatically to each non-employee director on the last day of November through the year 2000. Options may be exercised at the rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date of grant. At December 31, 2000, options to acquire 204,000 shares expired under the 1995 Plan. The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, compensation expense is generally not recognized for its stock-based compensation plans. Had compensation expense for the Company's stock option plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced as follows: For the Years Ended For the Year For the Three Month December 31, Ended Period Ended ------------------- March 31, 2002 March 31, 2001 2000 1999 -------------- -------------------- ---- ---- (in thousands, except per share values) Net income (loss) - as reported....................... $21,501 $(6,080) $18,231 $18,061 Net income (loss) - pro forma......................... 19,009 (6,761) 15,863 15,705 Basic net income (loss) per share - as reported....... $2.44 $(.69) $2.02 $1.85 Basic net income (loss) per share - pro forma......... $2.15 $(.77) $1.76 $1.61 Diluted net income (loss) per share - as reported..... $2.40 $(.69) $2.02 $1.84 Diluted net income (loss) per share - pro forma....... $2.12 $(.77) $1.75 $1.60 - 27 - The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: For the Years Ended For the Year For the Three Month December 31, Ended Period Ended --------------------- March 31, 2002 March 31, 2001 2000 1999 -------------- -------------------- ---- ---- Expected dividend yield......................... 0% 0% 0% 0% Expected stock price volatility................. 44% 43% 42% 39% Risk-free interest rate......................... 5.28% 5.50% 5.66% 5.60% Expected life of option......................... 9.9 years 8.5 years 6.7 years 3.6 years Transactions from January 1, 1999 through March 31, 2002, under the above plans were as follows: Weighted Weighted Number Option Price Average Average Life of Shares per Share Price Remaining --------- ------------ -------- ------------- Options outstanding at January 1, 1999.............. 1,246,575 $16.00 - $33.94 $22.90 2.2 years Granted........................................ 423,100 21.28 - 28.63 26.97 Exercised......................................

(200) (312) ----- ------ $165 $193 ==== ==== The Company entered into a $300,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility with thirteen banks and financial institutions on July 21, 1997. The facility allowed for borrowings up to $300,000,000 and expired on April 30, 2001. On April 30, 2001, the Company replaced its expiring revolving credit facility with two new financing facilities. The Company entered into a $75,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility with five banks. This facility allows for borrowings up to $75,000,000, expires on April 30, 2004 and provides that borrowings are limited during a consecutive 30 day period in each year of the agreement. The loan agreement contains provisions to increase or reduce the interest pricing spread based on the achievement of certain benchmarks related to the ratio of earnings to interest expense. At the Company's option, interest on the facility currently accrues at (1) the greater of the prime rate minus 0.5% or the Federal Funds Rate, or (2) LIBOR plus 1%. The revolving credit facility provides for commitment fees of 0.25% per annum on the daily average of the unused commitment. The loan agreement also contains covenants, the most restrictive of which pertain to net worth; the ratio of operating cash flow to fixed charges; the ratio of earnings to interest expense and the ratio of debt to capitalization. The Company is in compliance with all financial debt covenants. The Company also entered into a receivables purchase agreement with an issuer of receivables-backed commercial paper. Under this arrangement, the Company sells, on an ongoing basis and without recourse, its trade accounts receivable to a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary (the "SPS"), which in turn has the option to sell, on an ongoing basis and without recourse, to the commercial paper issuer an undivided percentage interest in the pool of accounts receivable. Under the agreement, new trade receivables are automatically sold to the SPS and become a part of the receivables pool. The agreement permits the sale (and repurchase) of an undivided interest in the accounts receivable pool for an amount of up to $100,000,000 through April 30, 2004, subject to an annual renewal. Interest on amounts financed under this facility is based on a variable commercial paper rate plus 0.375%. The receivables facility provides for commitment fees of 0.225% per annum on the daily average of the unused commitment. This arrangement has been accounted for as a financing transaction. The weighted average interest rate under these loan agreements for the year ended March 31, 2002, the three months ended March 31, 2001 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was 4.48%, 3.20%, 7.37% and 6.24%, respectively. The average and peak borrowings were $32,670,000 and $101,800,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002 and $59,465,000 and $133,090,000 for the year ended March 31, 2001. Additionally, outstanding letters of credit totaled $4,883,000 and $3,938,000 at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company has letters of credit that guarantee funding of workers compensation claims as well as obligations to certain vendors. The Company maintained various notes related to the financing of manufacturing facilities which were paid in full in 2001. The Company also maintained second mortgages on several facilities financed with Industrial Development Revenue Bonds. All such bonds matured in 2001. - 31 - Long-term debt matures as follows: (in thousands) 2003................................................... $200 2004................................................... 103 2005................................................... 62 ----- Total............................................... $365 ==== (8) OPERATING LEASES: The future minimum rental payments associated with all noncancelable lease obligations are as follows: (in thousands) 2003................................................... $ 6,011 2004................................................... 4,641 2005................................................... 3,293 2006................................................... 2,342 2007................................................... 651 Thereafter............................................. 404 ------- Total.............................................. $17,342 ======= Rent expense was $6,660,000, $1,700,000, $7,368,000 and $6,971,000 in the year ended March 31, 2002, in the three month period ended March 31, 2001 and in the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. (9) CLAIMS PUT AGREEMENT: The Company entered into a Claims Put Agreement (the Put Agreement) on January 16, 2002 with an unrelated financial institution giving CSS the ability to put Kmart trade receivables, not to exceed $16,000,000, arising from merchandise delivered during the period September 15, 2001 through the date of a bankruptcy event. CSS paid a premium of $480,000 to enter into this agreement. The Kmart put option was exercisable if Kmart filed for bankruptcy. On January 22, 2002, Kmart filed for bankruptcy under Chapter XI of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On February 21, 2002, the Company exercised the put option giving CSS the right to collect an amount equal to the pre-petition receivables balance outstanding with Kmart, times the purchase rate, or 70%. During the fiscal year, the Company adopted a policy for classifying gains on these types of credit risk arrangements in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). For the year ended March 31, 2002, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $5,436,000 for the change in the Put Agreement's value, less the premium paid. This amount was offset by bad debt expense of approximately $10,352,000 and was recorded in SG&A in the consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2002, the fair market value of Kmart receivables not yet assigned to the financial institution and the value of the Kmart put right were approximately $4,436,000 and $5,916,000, respectively, and were classified as other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. (10) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate methodologies. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. Certain of these financial instruments are with major financial institutions and expose the Company to market and credit risks and may at times be concentrated with certain counterparties or groups of counterparties. The creditworthiness of counterparties is continually reviewed, and full performance is anticipated. - 32 - The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments are set forth below: o Cash and temporary investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable - The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair values at March 31, 2002 and 2001. o Short-term borrowings - Borrowings under the revolving credit facility have variable rates that reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt. The carrying amount of this debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value. o Other long-term obligations - The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. o Foreign currency contracts - The fair value is based on quotes obtained from financial institutions. As of March 31, 2002 and 2001, the fair value of foreign currency contracts was immaterial. o Interest rate swap agreements - The fair value is based on quotes obtained from financial institutions. The fair value of interest rate swap agreements at March 31, 2002 and 2001 was $262,000 and $66,000, respectively. (11) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: The Company is subject to various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. In the opinion of Company counsel and management, the ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the consolidated financial position of the Company. In February 1999, CSS was awarded and received approximately $11,200,000, including interest, in settlement of a dispute primarily related to the valuation of inventory acquired in the 1995 acquisition of Cleo Inc. The award had no impact on 1999 results of operations. (12) SEGMENT DISCLOSURE: The Company operates in a single segment, the manufacture, distribution and sale of non-durable seasonal consumer goods, primarily to mass market retailers. CSS conducts substantially all of its business in the United States. The Company's detail of revenues from its various products is as follows: (in thousands) For the Three For the Years Ended For the Year Month Period December 31, Ended Ended ----------------------- March 31, 2002 March 31, 2001 2000 1999 -------------- -------------- ---- ---- Christmas $288,325 $ 3,157 $280,587 $266,766 Everyday 50,294 8,785 51,223 51,598 Halloween/Easter 58,864 12,319 63,137 61,974 Other 26,826 2,726 26,137 28,529 -------- ------- -------- -------- Total $424,309 $26,987 $421,084 $408,867 ======== ======= ======== ======== One customer accounted for sales of $87,975,000, or 20.7% of total sales and one customer accounted for sales of $45,030,000, or 10.6% of total sales in the year ended March 31, 2002.

(14) ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In June 1998 and June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." These statements establish accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 also require that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, on January 1, 2001, as required. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 was not material to the consolidated statements of operations or financial position of the Company. - 34 - In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations be accounted for by the purchase method and adds disclosure requirements related to business combination transactions. SFAS No. 141 also establishes criteria for the recognition of intangible assets apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. The Statement provides that goodwill and some intangibles will no longer be amortized. SFAS No. 142 provides specific guidance for testing goodwill for impairment. The Statement also requires new disclosure of information about goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective with the beginning of its next fiscal year, April 1, 2002, and will discontinue the amortization of goodwill at that time. As of March 31, 2002, goodwill totaled $39,715,000 and negative goodwill totaled $2,393,000. For the year ended March 31, 2002, net amortization expense was $1,213,000. Based on a preliminary review of the new standard, management believes the Company will record a goodwill impairment charge upon adoption of approximately $8,000,000, net of taxes, which includes the reversal of negative goodwill. This non-cash charge will be recorded as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. However, the Company has not completed its evaluation to determine the exact amount of such a charge. Also, the Company believes this charge will not affect the financial covenant calculations under the Company's credit agreement. SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," was issued in June 2001. SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for legal obligations and related costs associated with the retirement of long-lived assets. The Statement requires that the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The estimated retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Based on current operations, the Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations. SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," was issued in August 2001 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This statement retains existing requirements to recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and measure any impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 144 a) removes goodwill from its scope, b) allows for probability-weighted cash flow estimation techniques when measuring for impairment, c) requires that, for any assets to be abandoned, the depreciable life be adjusted and the cumulative impact of such change treated as an accounting change and d) an impairment loss be recognized at the date a long-lived asset is exchanged for a similar productive asset or distributed to owners in a spinoff if the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Based on current operations, the Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations. - 35 - Part III Item 10.
