AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002 (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Tufco Technologies, Inc., (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for each period shown (unless otherwise noted herein, all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature) (See Note 6). Operating results for the three-month and sixth-month periods ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the remainder of the year. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the financial information given from being misleading. The Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2002, was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". SFAS No. 144 also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. SFAS No. 144 requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144, effective October 1, 2002. Adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The sale and discontinued operations of the Paint Sundries segment in the second quarter 2003 have been recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 144. SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit of Disposal Activities", which was issued by the FASB in July 2002, requiring companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 supercedes EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Cost Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. 6 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED). RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT--CONTINUED On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure". SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require disclosures in interim financial statements of the effects of stock-based compensation. The interim disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company's stock-based compensation related to employees and non-employee directors is recognized using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and thus there is no compensation expense for options granted with exercise prices equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. The Company has no stock based employee compensation as defined by SFAS No. 148. In November 2002, FASB issued Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN No. 45 requires that a guarantor must recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation that is has undertaken in issuing a guarantee. FIN No. 45 also addresses the disclosure requirements that a guarantor must include in its financial statements for guarantees issued. The disclosure requirements in this interpretation are effective for financial statements ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company has no guarantees as defined in FIN No. 45. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. EARNINGS PER SHARE At March 31, 2003 and 2002, options representing 516,400 and 548,900 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, all of these options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations because of their existing anti-diluted qualities. 2. GOODWILL The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" effective October 1, 2001. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and certain other intangible assets are no longer systematically amortized but instead are reviewed for impairment and any excess in carrying value over the estimated fair value is charged to results of operations. The previous method for determining impairment prescribed by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", utilized an undiscounted cash flow approach for the initial impairment assessment, while SFAS No. 142 utilizes a fair value approach. The goodwill impairment charge discussed below is the result of the change in the accounting method for determining the impairment of goodwill. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company allocated goodwill to each of its reporting units and tested this goodwill for impairment as of the beginning of 7 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED). GOODWILL-CONTINUED fiscal 2002. The Company completed the transitional goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of fiscal 2002. As a result, an impairment charge of $ 6.4 million ($4.7 million after tax, or $1.01 per diluted share) was recorded related to goodwill for the Business Imaging and Paint Sundries reporting units $5.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The fair value of the reporting units was estimated using a combination of valuation techniques including the expected present value of future cash flows and prices of comparable businesses. The charges have been recorded as the cumulative effect of accounting change in the amount of $6.4 million ($4.7 million after tax, or $1.01 per share) as of October 1, 2001 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to review for impairment on an annual basis, and such analysis will be completed in the third quarter of 2003. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended March 31, 2003 are as follows: <Table> <Caption> Contract Business Paint Manufacturing Imaging Sundries TOTAL --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Balance as of September 30, 2002 ........... $ 4,281,759 $ 2,929,816 $ 3,133,638 $ 10,345,213 Sale of Segment ............................ -- -- 3,133,638 3,133,638 --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Balance as of March 31, 2003 ............... $ 4,281,759 $ 2,929,816 $ -- $ 7,211,575 =============== =============== =============== =============== </Table> 3.

SEVERANCE COSTS For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the severance cost was $0 compared to $201,730 for the same period last year. For the six months ended March 31, 2003, the severance cost was $46,284 compared to $209,324 during the six months ended March 31, 2002. The 2003 costs are related to the elimination of several salary positions. The 2002 expense relates primarily to severance pursuant to an employment agreement with a former executive. 5. RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND ASSET WRITE DOWNS During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company incurred approximately $544,000 of costs (including approximately $311,000 related to impaired asset write-downs) related to restructuring a component of the Business Imaging segment completed in fiscal year 2002. 8 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED). 6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The condensed financial statements present the Paint Sundries segment as a discontinued operation as a result of the sale of the business on March 31, 2003 pursuant to authorization of the Board of Directors on January 27, 2003. The Company sold the assets and business of the Paint Sundries segment for $12.3 million in cash to Trimaco, LLC and its affiliate. The sale included all Paint Sundries segment assets, including the Manning, South Carolina manufacturing facility. Prior period amounts have been restated, including the reallocation of general overhead charges. The Company recorded a $0.4 million loss ($0.2 million after tax) on the sale of the Paint Sundries segment which includes a $0.1 million gain on the sale of the assets offset by $0.5 million of fees and expenses associated with the sale. The Company does not expect any material adjustment to the loss when determination of the final purchased net assets and the performance of certain services are complete. The Company will provide certain accounting and information technology services to Trimaco, LLC during the transition period for an agreed upon fee. Operating results from discontinued operations are as follows: <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, 2003 2002 2003 2002 --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Net sales $ 3,818,979 $ 6,220,657 $ 9,708,068 $ 11,818,225 Loss before (244,409) (465,059) (271,963) (706,081) income tax </Table> The components of disposed assets and liabilities are as follows: <Table> Accounts Receivable (net of reserve) $ 4,893,816 Inventory (net of reserve) 3,122,830 Equipment 328,090 Building 2,448,916 Goodwill 3,133,638 Other assets 292,663 Accounts payable (1,790,211) Other accruals (281,959) ----------- Total net book value of disposed assets $12,147,783 </Table> 7.

Comprehensive loss for the six months ended March 31, 2003 was $(63,318), including the SFAS No. 142 impairment loss of $4.7 million, net of tax, $(5,382,090) for the six months ended March 31, 2002. 9 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED). 7.

STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company applies APB No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. No compensation cost has been recognized for the Company's stock option plans because the quoted market price of the common stock at the date of grant was not in excess of the option exercise price. SFAS No. 123 prescribes a method to record compensation cost at the fair value of the options granted. Pro forma disclosures as if the Company had adopted the cost recognition requirements under SFAS No. 123 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are presented below. <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, 2003 2002 2003 2002 --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Net Income (loss): As reported (254,558) (349,270) (87,403) (5,408,219) Pro forma (282,624) (389,523) (198,573) (5,640,917) Basic earnings per share: As reported (0.06) (0.07) (0.02) (1.17) Pro forma (0.06) (0.08) (0.04) (1.22) Diluted earnings per share: As reported (0.06) (0.07) (0.02) (1.17) Pro forma (0.06) (0.08) (0.04) (1.22) </Table> 10 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED). 9.

Prior period amounts have been restated, including the intersector information to reflect the sale of this business. The Company separates its current operations and prepares information for management use by the market segments aligned with the Company's products and services.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL INFORMATION: Tufco Technologies, Inc. has manufacturing operations in Green Bay, WI and Newton, NC. Corporate headquarters are located in Green Bay, WI. Corporate support services currently located in Dallas, TX are being transitioned to Green Bay, WI. The Company provides diversified Contract Manufacturing and specialty printing services and manufactures and distributes Business Imaging paper products.

These products are normally shipped during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter. Point of sale Business Imaging products peak during second and fourth quarters due to seasonal demand for products related to end-of-year holiday activities and due to summer vacation activities. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Unless otherwise noted, the Company has not made any changes in estimates or assumptions that had a significant effect on the reported amounts. 13 ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--CONTINUED NET SALES: Net sales increased $0.6 million (5%) to $12.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2003, when compared to this period last year. This is due to increases of $0.5 million or 9% in the Business Imaging segment and $0.1 million or 2% in the Contract Manufacturing segment. The increase in the Business Imaging segment was due to new business from a large chain of office supply retail stores. GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit decreased $0.3 million (17%) for second quarter of fiscal 2003 when compared to second quarter of fiscal 2002. The Contract Manufacturing segment decreased $0.6 million or 43% primarily due to a price reduction to a major customer and increased warehouse costs due to increased production. The Business Imaging segment's gross profit increased $0.3 million (70%) as a result of growth in the point-of-sales rolls market. This segment also improved margins by reducing overhead by closing the Dallas, Texas facility and moving the remaining production to its Newton, North Carolina facility. OPERATING EXPENSES: Operating expenses decreased $0.5 million for second quarter of fiscal 2003 when compared to the same period of fiscal 2002. This decrease for the quarter was primarily related to a reduction in expenses as a result of closing the Dallas, Texas facility. This decrease was offset by the write-off of loan fees as a result of the reduction of debt with the proceeds from the sale of the Paint Sundries segment. OPERATING INCOME: Operating income improved $0.2 million to income of $0.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2003, when compared to the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase was primarily due to reduced expenses as a result of the Dallas facility closure mentioned earlier. INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)-NET: Interest expense was $36,000 lower compared to last year due to a $8.5 million reduction in debt since March 31, 2002, and lower interest rates on borrowings. NET INCOME (LOSS) AND EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE: The Company reported net loss of $0.3 million (per share: ($0.06) basic and diluted) for first quarter of fiscal 2003, versus a net loss of $0.3 million (per share: (($0.07)-basic and diluted) for the same period one year ago. Net income from continuing operations was $0.1 million or $.03 per share for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $25,000, or $.01 per share for 2002. ACCOUNTING CHANGE: Effective October 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". This standard requires that companies no longer amortize goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, such as trademarks. In addition, this standard requires that companies evaluate all goodwill for impairment annually. Upon completion of this evaluation, the Company recorded a charge in an amount of $6.4 million ($4.7 million, net of income tax effects, or $1.01 per diluted share) in fiscal 2002 for the goodwill recorded in the Business Imaging and Paint Sundry segments. 16 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --CONTINUED LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: The Company generated $0.5 million in cash from continuing operations through the first six months of fiscal 2003, compared to cash flow from continuing operations generated of $3.4 million for the same period last year. Net income plus non-cash items aggregated $1.9 million, an increase of $0.3 million from the same period last year. The Company used $1.2 million for prepaid and other assets and $0.7 million to pay accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Decreases in accounts receivable generated $0.3 million and decreases in inventories generated $0.2 million in cash flows. Net cash used in investing activities was $3.5 million through the second quarter of fiscal 2003. Additions to property, plant and equipment include $1.8 million related to the purchase and installation of production and office equipment. The Company made a deposit of $1.8 million for the purchase of a flexo-graphic printing press which the Company ultimately plans to finance through an operating lease. Thus this expenditure will be refunded upon consummation of the lease transaction. Net cash used in financing activities was $5.0 million through the second quarter of fiscal 2003 due to repayment of all outstanding bank term debt and revolving line of credit. Net cash provided by discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2003 was $10.9 million which represented $11.7 million of net proceeds from the sale of the Paint Sundries segment offset by $0.9 million of cash used by the operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2003. As of May 12, 2003, the Company had approximately $6.0 million available under its revolving credit line which was reduced to a $6.0 million facility concurrent with the Paint Sundries sale. According to the terms of its credit facility with its lenders, the Company is required to maintain certain financial and operational covenants. As of March 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants under the credit facility. The Company intends to retain earnings to finance future operations and expansion and does not expect to pay any dividends within the foreseeable future. STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN In March 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved the purchase by the Company of up to 100,000 shares given that the cash and debt position would enable these purchases without impairment to the Company's capital. The purchase plan began in April 2003, and extends over a nine-month period. As of May 12, 2003 no shares have been purchased. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The critical accounting policies for the Company remain unchanged from prior periods. For a more detailed discussion refer to the Company's latest September 30, 2002 annual report on Form 10-K. 17 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Information with respect to the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, commodity price risk and other relevant market risks is contained on page 24 in Item 7A, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002. Management believes that as of March 31, 2003, there has been no material change to this information. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: Management's discussion of the Company's 2003 quarterly periods in comparison to 2002, contains forward-looking statements regarding current expectations, risks and uncertainties for future periods. The actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. As well as those factors discussed in this report, other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, among other items, cancellation of production agreements by significant customers, material increases in the cost of base paper stock, competition in the Company's product areas, or an inability of management to successfully reduce operating expenses in relation to net sales without damaging the long-term direction of the Company. Therefore, the condensed financial data for the periods presented may not be indicative of the Company's future financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 4.
