CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1998
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation -
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
accounts have been eliminated in consolidation and all adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.
Restatement of Prior Period Financial Statements -
On December 23, 1997, the Company sold its Direct Mail Business Products
Group, composed of Rapidforms, Inc. and its subsidiaries
("Rapidforms"). The gain on the sale and the operating results of
Rapidforms prior to the sale have been accounted for as discontinued
operations and, accordingly, have been segregated on the prior period
financial statements and footnotes.
Nature of Business -
CSS is a consumer products company primarily engaged in the 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, calendars, classroom
exchange Valentines, decorative ribbons and bows, Halloween masks,
costumes, make-ups and novelties and Easter egg dyes and novelties.
Due to the seasonality of the Company's business, the majority of
sales occur in the third and fourth quarters and a material portion
of the Company's trade receivables are due in December and January of
each year.
As a result of the sale of Rapidforms on December 23, 1997, CSS no
longer operates in the Direct Mail Business Products industry.
Use of Estimates -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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.
Inventories -
Inventories are generally 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 (LIFO) cost or market.
Inventories consisted of the following:

Raw material.................. $ 42,464,000 $23,840,000

Finished goods................ 93,958,000 32,641,000
------------ -----------
$154,257,000 $66,270,000
============ ===========
Revenue Recognition -
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with its shipping terms.
Returns and allowances are reserved for based on the Company's
historical experience.
Net Loss Per Common Share -
Basic and diluted net loss per common share were computed based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 - 10,894,104 and
10,947,916 in 1998 and 10,815,245 and 10,831,675 in 1997. Shares used
in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share are
equal as the common stock equivalents that would normally be added to
the weighted average shares outstanding for the computation of
diluted net loss per share have an anti-dilutive effect when the
Company has a net loss.
Statements of Cash Flows -
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
holdings of highly liquid debt instruments with original maturity of
less than three months to be temporary investments.
See Note 2 for supplemental disclosure of noncash investing activities.
(2) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES:
On December 23, 1997, the Company sold Rapidforms and its
subsidiaries for approximately $84,635,000, resulting in a net gain of
$17,521,000 and net cash proceeds of approximately $60,000,000 after income
taxes and the buy out of the minority interest. Rapidforms designs and sells
business forms, business supplies, in-house retail merchandising products,
holiday greeting cards and advertising specialties to small and medium size
businesses primarily through the direct mailing of catalogs and brochures. On
January 8, 1997, Rapidforms sold its Standard Forms, Ltd. subsidiary for
$4,083,000, resulting in a gain of $350,000. Sales from these discontinued
operations were $18,579,000 and $38,294,000 for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1998.
On January 17, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Color-Clings, Inc. ("Color-Clings") for $7,875,000 and repaid
$10,665,000 of debt. Color-Clings is a designer and marketer of seasonal and
everyday vinyl home decorations sold primarily to mass market retailers in the
United States and Canada. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and
the excess of cost over fair market value of $15,698,000 was recorded as
goodwill and is being amortized over twenty years. Subsequent to the
acquisition, a substantial portion of the operations of Color-Clings were
merged into existing operations of the Company.
-7-
(3) FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES:
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." The SOP requires companies
to capitalize or expense costs incurred according to guidance provided in the
Statement. The Company will apply this Statement beginning with fiscal year
1999. Adoption of the statement is not expected to have a material impact on
the financial statements.
(4) SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
On July 7, 1998, a subsidiary of the Company sold a distribution
facility for $21,500,000 resulting in a gain of approximately $16,600,000, or
$10,800,000 after taxes. Pursuant to the sale agreement, the Company has
entered into a five year agreement to lease back a portion of the facility
from the purchaser. The present value of the future lease payments of
$4,192,000 will be recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet and will
offset rental expense over the term of the lease.

CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Seasonality
The seasonal nature of CSS' business results in low sales and operating
losses for the first two quarters and high shipment levels and operating
profits for the second half of the year, thereby causing significant
fluctuations in the quarterly results of operations of the Company.
First Six Months of 1998 Compared to First Six Months of 1997
Consolidated sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased by
3% to $64,159,000 from $62,272,000. The increase in sales was due primarily to
higher shipments of Easter and Halloween products, partially offset by the
later timing of certain Christmas shipments and lower sales of everyday
products.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was 71% in 1998 and 66% in 1997.
The increase in the cost of sales percentage was due to decreased sales of
higher margin everyday products and the earlier timing of direct import
Halloween sales which carry lower gross margins. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 49%
in 1998 from 50% in 1997. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales decreased as
the integration of certain management functions reduced salaries. This
decrease was partially offset by additional costs incurred to complete the
installation of new management information systems at one of the Company's
subsidiaries.
Restructuring and other special items of $4,568,000 in 1998, included
severance and other costs related to the blending of certain management
functions within the Company, the shut-down of two manufacturing and
distribution facilities, the write-off of certain costs related to system
development, and the gain associated with the sale of an administrative
building.
Interest expense, net decreased to $869,000 in 1998 from $2,354,000 in
1997 as the cash received from the sale of Rapidforms resulted in lower
borrowing needs. Rental and other income, net increased to $1,224,000 from
$406,000 in 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to income earned on
the rental of a portion of one of the Company's distribution centers.
Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes were 37% in 1998 and
36% in 1997. The full year effective tax rate from continuing operations in
1997 was 38%.
The loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30,
1998 was $10,709,000, or $.98 per share, compared to a net loss from
continuing operations $7,672,000, or $.70 per share in 1997. The increased
loss reflects the restructuring and other special items and lower margins
discussed above.
Second Quarter 1998 Compared to Second Quarter 1997
Consolidated sales for the second quarter of 1998 decreased 4% to
$36,200,000 from $37,742,000 in 1997. The decrease in sales is due to lower
sales of everyday products and the later timing of certain Christmas
shipments.
-9-
Cost of sales, as percentage of sales, was 75% in 1998 compared to 65% in
1997. The increase is due to the earlier timing of direct import Halloween
sales which carry lower margins, and the reduction of higher margin everyday
sales. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales declined to 41% from 42% in
1997. The decrease is due to lower salaries resulting from the combination of
certain management functions within the Company. The decrease was partially
offset by costs incurred to complete the installation of new management
information systems at a subsidiary of the Company.
Restructuring and other special items include all of the components
discussed in the Results of Operations for the first six months of 1998
compared to the first six months of 1997.
Interest expense, net decreased to $468,000 from $1,270,000 in 1997 as
cash received from the sale of Rapidforms reduced seasonal borrowing needs.
Rental and other income increased to $646,000 in 1998 from $118,000 in 1997
due to income earned on the rental of a portion of one of the Company's
distribution centers.
Income taxes, as a percentage of income before taxes, was 37% in 1998 and
31% in 1997. The difference in the effective tax rates was due primarily to an
adjustment made in the second quarter of 1997 to adjust the year-to-date
effective tax rate to the expected full year rate.
For the second quarter, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing
operations of $4,950,000, or $.45 per diluted share, compared to a net loss
from continuing operations of $2,641,000, or $.24 per diluted share in 1997.
The increased loss was primarily attributable to the restructuring and other
special items.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of $110,853,000 and
shareholders' equity of $204,064,000. The decrease in accounts receivable and
the increase in inventories from December 31, 1997 reflected seasonal
collections of 1997 Christmas accounts receivables and normal seasonal
inventory increases in preparation for the 1998 shipping season. The increase
in other current assets related to product development costs which will be
expensed as shipments are made. The decrease in other accrued liabilities
reflected the payment of income taxes. The decrease in shareholders' equity is
primarily attributable to the net loss and to the repurchase of 278,200 shares
of the Company's stock for $9,209,000.
The Company relies primarily on cash generated from operations and
seasonal borrowings to meet its liquidity requirements. Historically, most
revenues are seasonal with over 80% of sales generated in the second half of
the year. Payment for Christmas related products is usually not received until
after the holiday in accordance with general industry practice. As a result,
short-term borrowing needs decrease in the first quarter and increase through
the remainder of the year, peaking prior to Christmas. Seasonal borrowings are
made under a $300,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility with thirteen
banks and financial institutions. The credit facility is available to fund the
seasonal borrowing needs and to provide the Company with a source of capital
for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had
short-term borrowings of $57,952,000. 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.
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
The Company has initiated a series of information systems improvements in
the past two years, including the conversion of certain of its computer
systems for compliance with the Year 2000. Costs incurred to modify existing
systems to process transactions regarding the Year 2000 have been and will be
expensed as incurred and are not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company's ongoing results of operations.
