HUNT MANUFACTURING CO. Dated: June 29, 1995 By: -------------------------------------- Robert B. Fritsch President and Chief Executive Officer By: -------------------------------------- William E. Chandler Senior Vice President, Finance (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) 8 REPORT OF INDEPENDANT ACCOUNTANTS To the Savings Plan Administrative Committee of Hunt Manufacturing Co.: We have audited the combined financial statements of the Hunt Manufacturing Co. Savings Plan as listed in Item 14 on pages 2 and 3. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Savings Plan Adminis- trative Committee. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 Hunt Manufacturing Co. Savings Plan financial statements listed in Item 14 on pages 2 and 3 present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Hunt Manufacturing Co. Savings Plan as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the combined results of their operations for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Fund Information in the statement of financial condition and the statement of income and changes in plan equity is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the financial condition and income and changes in plan equity of each fund. The Fund Information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

General: The Plan is a defined contribution plan which provides individual accounts for each participant. The Plan is designed to comply with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) and with the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code). Eligibility and Participation: Generally, all active associates (i. e., employees including officers) of Hunt Manufacturing Co. (Company) and of any other participating company are eligible to participate in the Plan upon meeting the applicable service requirements. Leased employees, non-resident aliens, and associates who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement to which the Company or any participating company is a part (unless the collective bargaining agreement specifically or otherwise provides) are not eligible to participate in the Plan. Associates who work in full-time, temporary positions as part of an undergraduate or graduate degree program, college students enrolled in a degree program or high school graduates matriculating in a degree program who assume temporary employment with a participating company during the summer months, and associates who are hired for a specific length of time of no more than 18 consecutive months are eligible to participate in the Plan, but only if such associates complete a minimum of 1,000 hours of service during the plan year. Bargaining unit employees of Seal Products Incorporated became eligible to participate in the Plan effective January 1, 1993 as a result of the merger into the Plan of the Seal Products Incorporated Savings Plan for the Naugatuck, Connecticut Bargaining Unit effective January 1, 1993. Eligible associates who have completed at least one year of service as of any January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1 are eligible to participate in the Associate Pre-Tax Contribution and Matching Contribution portions of the Plan; and eligible associates other than certain officers and directors who have completed at least two consecutive years of service, as of any December 1, are eligible for participation in the Basic Contribution portion of the Plan provided such eligible associate is employed by a participating company on December 1 of the plan year for which the Basic Contribution is being made. Continued PF-7 16 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 1. Description of Plan, continued: Contributions: Contributions to the Plan are made by the Company and other participating companies on their own behalf, and in the case of Associate Pre-Tax Contributions, on behalf of the participants whose salaries have been reduced. Subject to the limitations of the Plan and the Code, participants may authorize the Company and other participating companies to withhold each year up to 15% (prior to January 1, 1993 the limit was 10%) of their annual pre-tax compensation (i. e., compensation excluding taxable employee benefits of any kind but including Associate Pre-Tax Contributions and participant salary reduction contributions to a cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Code) for Associate Pre-Tax Contributions to the Plan but not to exceed a Code limit adjusted annually for inflation ($8,994 for 1993, $9,240 for 1994). The Company, and other participating companies, in turn, will make Matching Contribu- tions on behalf of participants equal to $.25 for each $1.00 of Associate Pre-Tax Contributions up to 6% of the participant's pre-tax compensation for each year subject to the limitations of the Plan and the Code. The Company also may make an annual Basic Contribution of up to 1% of the base rate of pay (90% of the base rate of pay of salesmen, 100% of the base rate of pay for other associates) on behalf of eligible associates, except for certain officers and directors, whether or not such associates make contributions to the Plan. The associate's base rate of pay is the associate's annual compensation determined as of June 1 of any plan year, excluding overtime, bonuses, cash awards and stock awards under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan, and taxable employee benefits of any kind but including Associate Pre-Tax Contributions and participant salary reduction contributions to a cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Code. In no event may the annual compensation of any participant taken into account under the Plan exceed a Code limit adjusted annually for inflation ($235,840 for 1993, $150,000 for 1994). Such Basic Contributions can only be invested in the Stock Fund and are not transferable to other funds. In order to receive a Basic Contribution for a given plan year, a participant must be employed by a participating company on December 1 of such plan year. Associate Pre-Tax Contributions are contributed to the Plan within 30 days following the pay period or 30 days following the end of the plan year for which such contributions are being made, whichever is earlier, and Matching Contributions and Basic Contributions are contributed to the Plan no later than the due date, including any extensions, for the filing of the Company's federal tax return for the taxable year which includes the last day of the plan year for which such contributions are being made. Participants may also make rollover contributions to the Plan of qualifying distributions from other qualified plans. Vesting: A participant's Associate Pre-Tax Contributions (and the earnings thereon) and Basic Contributions (and the earnings thereon) are always 100% vested and nonforfeitable. Continued PF-8 17 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 1. Description of Plan, continued: Vesting, continued: If, while in the service of the Company or any other participating company, a participant attains age 65, becomes permanently and totally disabled, or dies, the full value of the Matching Contributions (and the earnings less any losses thereon) allocated to such participant's accounts becomes vested in the participant (or in such participant's successor in the event of death) and is nonforfeitable. Prior to the occurrence of such an event, the value of the Matching Contributions (and the earnings less any losses thereon) will vest in a participant, based on such participant's years of service for vesting (years in which a participant completes 1,000 or more hours of service commencing with the date of hire), as indicated in the following table: Less than 1 year 0% 1 year 20% 2 years 40% 3 years 60% 4 years 80% 5 years or more 100% If a participant terminates employment for reasons other than death, total disability or retirement, the person is not fully vested and the present value of his or her vested account balance does not exceed $3,500, or if it does exceed $3,500, his or her vested account balance is distributed to such separated participant, the participant forfeits the nonvested balance in his or her account upon distribution of his or her entire vested account balance. In such case, if the participant is re- employed, he or she may repay the amount distributed to him or her before he or she incurs five consecutive one-year breaks in service, and his or her account will be restored. If the terminated participant's vested account balance exceeds $3,500 and such participant does not consent to the immediate distribution of his or her vested account balance, the participant forfeits the nonvested balance upon his or her incurring five consecutive one-year breaks in service. Withdrawals and Distributions: Distributions are made according to the vested interest to which participants are entitled upon retirement, termination, death or disability. Upon retirement, the participant's vested interest will be distributed in one lump sum payment, in cash, unless the participant elects to receive that portion invested in the Stock Fund in whole shares of common stock or in any combination of stock and cash. A participant may also withdraw any portion of his or her vested account balances after he or she attains age 59-1/2. Otherwise, withdrawals before termination of employment are allowed only in cases of hardship as determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Continued PF-9 18 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 1. Description of Plan, continued: Disposition of Forfeitures: Forfeitures of Matching Contributions resulting from the termination of participants with less than fully vested rights under the Plan shall be applied to restore forfeitures and then to reduce Matching Contributions to the Plan. Plan Amendment and Termination: Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan. In the event of Plan termination, the net assets of the Plan will be distributed to Plan participants and beneficiaries in proportion to their respective account balances, which will be fully vested as a result of such termination. The Company may also amend the Plan at any time, subject to certain restrictions. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Investment Valuation: The common stock of Hunt Manufacturing Co. is stated at fair value, which represents the closing price of the stock as listed on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of the plan year. Investments in the Twentieth Century Investors, Inc., Balanced, Bankers Trust Pyramid GIC, Select, and Ultra Funds are stated at the unit value published as of the end of the plan year. The Blended GIC Trust at December 31, 1994 and 1993 and Fixed Income Fund at December 31, 1992 includes Guaranteed Investment Contracts which are stated at cost plus accrued interest. Based on available information at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Company believes that the fair value of the Guaranteed Investment Contracts is not significantly different from cost plus accrued interest. Investments in the Equity Fund are stated at the unit value published by the fund as of the end of the plan year. Payment of Benefits: Benefits are recorded when paid. Continued PF-10 19 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: Investment Income: Dividend income is recorded on the ex dividend date. Income from other investments is recorded as earned on the accrual basis. Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date basis. Gain or loss on sales of securities is based on average cost. The Plan presents in the statements of income and changes in equity the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair market value of its investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. Plan Expenses: Administrative expenses of the Plan and brokerage fees relating to purchases within the Stock Fund are paid by the Company. Effective January 1, 1995, brokerage fees relating to purchases within the Stock Fund will be paid from the account of the participant to which such purchase relates. 3. Investment Program: Contributions to the Plan are invested, as directed by the participants (except for Basic Contributions which are invested in the Stock Fund), in the following funds as described below: (1) Balanced Fund - a fund that uses common stocks and fixed income securities to provide growth opportunities as well as income. The Fund has approximately 60% of its assets in growth stocks and the remainder in fixed income securities. The fixed income portion of the fund is invested in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade bonds with an average weighted portfolio maturity of three to ten years. (2) Blended GIC Trust - is a fixed income fund made up of two different parts. The first part consists of individual Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GIC's) previously purchased by the plan. The second part consists of all new investments which are made in the Bankers Trust Pyramid GIC Fund. The Bankers Trust Pyramid GIC Fund invests primarily in guaranteed investment contracts issued by major financial institutions,including banks and life insurance companies. Continued PF-11 20 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 3. Investment Program, continued: The Blended GIC Trust is a conservative fixed income fund in which principal is protected from market volatility. By retaining the individual GIC's and investing in the Bankers Trust Pyramid GIC Fund, the Blended GIC Trust attempts to provide yields that are higher than money market funds and certificates of deposit, as well as to provide a relatively predictable annual return. The annual interest rates are as follows: Net Effective Time of Deposit Annual Interest Rate --------------- -------------------- Funds deposited during 1994 Principally, 7.31% to 9.10% through 1995 Funds deposited during 1993 Principally, 7.42% to 9.1% through 1994 (3) Select Fund - a fund that invests only in stocks that pay dividends. Securities are chosen primarily for their growth potential, however, and return from investment income may not be significant. (4) Ultra Fund - a fund that seeks capital growth over time by investing in companies with accelerating growth trends. (5) Stock Fund - a fund consisting of common stock of Hunt Manu- facturing Co. purchased in the open market, or directly from the Company. (6) Fixed Income Fund - a fund consisting of Guaranteed Investment Contracts with the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company under which an annual fixed rate of interest is paid, net of administrative expenses, for a specified period of time in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The fixed annual interest rates are as follows: Net Effective Time of Deposit Annual Interest Rate --------------- -------------------- Funds deposited during 1992 5.81% through 1992 Funds deposited during 1991 8.74% through 1992 Funds deposited during 1990 8.35% through 1992 Continued PF-12 21 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 3. Investment Program, continued: (7) Equity Fund - a fund consisting primarily of investments in common and preferred stocks. There were 1,371 and 1,354 Plan participants at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, who participated in one or more of the investment funds. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the number of participants selecting each of the investment funds for their contributions was as follows: 1994 1993 ---- ---- Stock Fund 1,232 1,233 Capital Preservation Fund 603 626 Balanced Fund 374 382 Select Fund 594 602 Ultra Fund 549 559 4. Participant Loans: Participants who are members of the Seal Bargaining unit may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their account balance. Effecitve March 1, 1995, all participants may borrow from their fund accounts in accordance with the above terms. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment fund from (to) the Participant Loans fund. The period of repayment usually does not exceed five years. However, a loan used for the purpose of acquiring the principal residence of the Participant may exceed five years. Loans are required to be repaid in equal periodic installments of principal and interest, payable no less frequently than quarterly during each twelve-month period beginning with the date of the loan and each anniversary thereof. Loans are required to be collateralized by an assignment of a portion of the participant's interest in his or her accrued benefit attributable to employer contributions equal to the principal amount of the loan, and supported by the participant's collateralized promissory note. The Plan Administrator determines the interest rate on the basis of prevailing interest rates. Participant loans mature April 4, 1995 to June 14, 1999 and bear interest at 8% to 12% at December 31, 1994. Continued PF-13 22 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 5.

Tax Status: The Plan obtained its latest determination from the Internal Revenue Service by letter dated September 15, 1988, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, in form, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan's tax counsel believes that the Plan, in form, complies with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as currently in effect, and the Plan administrator believes that the Plan, both in form and operation, is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements. 7.
