Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Thousands of dollars, except per share data) NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although Schawk, Inc. (the Company) believes the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In addition, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected and are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the three years ended December 31, 2000. NOTE 2. INTERIM RESULTS Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. NOTE 3. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The Company is a leading provider of digital imaging prepress services for the consumer products industry. The Company focuses on providing these services to multi-national clients in three primary markets: consumer products packaging, advertising agencies and promotion. NOTE 4. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES In the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2000 the Company carried out a restructuring plan (the 2000 Restructuring). The plan included the closing of a small start-up in North Carolina, as well as staffing reductions at a number of the Company's facilities. In the first and second quarters of 2001, additional restructuring efforts were undertaken, including staff reduction and the termination of a lease on a closed facility that resulted in restructuring charges of $265 and $420, in the first and second quarters, respectively. In the third quarter of 2001, an additional $332 restructuring charge was recorded which consisted of $235 for severance payments to 34 employees whose positions were eliminated and $97 for additional costs relating to a previously closed facility. The $332 charge in the third quarter is classified as Restructuring and other charges on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company anticipates that additional restructuring and other charges will occur in 2001 as the Company continues to restructure its operations. During the first three quarters of 2001, $1,719 was charged against the restructuring reserves established in 1999, 2000, and the first three quarters of 2001. NOTE 5. INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following: September 30 December 31 2001 2000 ---- ---- Raw materials $2,454 $2,147 Work in process 7,255 6,771 ------ ------ 9,709 8,918 Less: LIFO reserve (988) (988) ------ ------ $8,721 $7,930 ====== ====== 6 NOTE 6.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 130 (SFAS 130) requires unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments to be included in comprehensive income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company liquidated all of its remaining available-for-sale securities. The following table sets forth the components of comprehensive income, net of related tax: Three months ended September 30 ----------------------------------- 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- Net income $ 2,111 $ 3,575 Foreign currency translation adjustments (803) 53 ------- ------- Comprehensive income $ 1,308 $ 3,628 ======= ======= Nine months ended September 30 ----------------------------------- 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- Net income $5,574 $10,370 Foreign currency translation adjustments (786) 54 ------- --------- Comprehensive income $4,788 $10,424 ======= ========= The components of accumulated comprehensive loss, net of related tax as of September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 consisted entirely of foreign currency translation adjustments. NOTE 9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combination, and No. 142 Goodwill and Other Tangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill [and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives] will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the nonamoritization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in an increase in net income of approximately $1,225 ($0.06 per share) per year. During 2002, the Company will perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 and has not yet determined what the effect of these tests will be on the earnings and financial position of the Company. 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Thousands of dollars, except per share amounts) Certain statements contained herein that relate to the Company's beliefs or expectations as to future events relating to, among other things, an improvement in operating results as a result of the Company's restructuring efforts and an improvement in the market for the Company's services in the future, are not statements of historical fact and are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and are subject to the "Safe Harbor" created thereby. Although the Company believes that the assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable within the bounds of its knowledge of the market for its services and its business and operations, it can give no assurance the assumptions will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from the Company's expectations and beliefs include, among other things, weakness in demand for graphics design changes and advertisements in the consumer products industry, the continued demand for Schawk's services, retention of key management and operational personnel, the ability of the Company to implement its growth strategy, the stability of state, federal and foreign tax laws, the ability of the Company to identify and exploit industry trends and to exploit technological advances in the imaging industry, as well as other factors detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 DISCUSSION NET SALES of $47,182 for the third quarter of 2001 decreased 6.8% from net sales of $50,631 in the third quarter of 2000. The decrease in revenues reflected the soft economy both in consumer products packaging spending and advertising spending. COST OF SALES as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter of 2001 increased to 60.0% from 59.2% for the comparable period in the prior year. Given the fact that net sales dropped 6.8%, a small increase in cost of sales is a positive result relative to the sales drop. The small increase in the cost of sales percentage indicates that the cost cutting moves through its restructurings over the past two years are having a positive effect. OPERATING INCOME before restructuring charges of $332 and the loss at InterchangeDigital of $537 in the third quarter of 2001 decreased 28% to $5,335 from $7,415 on a comparable basis for the same period in 2000. The decrease primarily resulted from lower net sales and losses at start-up operations other than InterchangeDigital. Sequentially, operating income before restructuring charges and the loss at InterchangeDigital, in the third quarter of 2001, increased $46 or 0.8% from $5,289 in the second quarter of 2001 on the same basis. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2001 increased by $397 as compared to the prior year third quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher expenses at the corporate office to support the growth of the company and the centralizing of computer systems, including computer hardware and software depreciation and amortization, telecommunication costs, and higher advertising and promotion costs. In addition, start-up costs of $285 were incurred to establish a state-of-the-art studio in downtown Chicago to support the packaging, advertising agency and promotional markets. Excluding increased costs at corporate and start-up costs at the Chicago facility, SG&A would have actually decreased approximately $900 or 6.9% versus the prior year third quarter. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 28.6% of sales for the third quarter of 2001 from 25.9% for the comparable prior year period. The increased percentage was a function of lower net sales and higher SG&A as described above. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES: Included in operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 is a restructuring charge of $332. This charge consisted of severance costs for positions eliminated in the third quarter of 2001 of $235 and a $97 charge related to a previously closed facility. The layoffs were in connection with the Company's continuing restructuring efforts to adjust the size of its workforce to a level that will increase productivity rates in the future. In the prior year period there was $880 of net restructuring charges for the primarily for the relocation and downsizing of one operation into another in Toronto. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) - NET increased to $995 of net expense for the third quarter of 2001 compared with $207 of net expense for the same period of 2000. The increase consisted of $1,172 of lower other income, primarily from lower net gains on the sale of equipment as compared to the prior year period offset by $384 of lower 9 interest expense (net of interest income) for the third quarter of 2001 as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense primarily resulted from lower interest rates in 2001 as approximately 64% of the Company's debt was at floating rates during the third quarter of 2001. INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES AND MINORITY INTEREST, restructuring charges and the pretax loss from InterchangeDigital decreased to $4,340 for the third quarter of 2001 from $7,208 for the same period of 2000 on a comparable basis for the reasons previously discussed. INCOME TAX PROVISION increased to 41.7% of pretax income during the third quarter of 2001 versus 39.2% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a lower than normal rate in 2000 that was necessary to adjust the year to date rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. NET INCOME decreased to $2,111 for the third quarter of 2001 from $3,575 for the same period of 2000 for the reasons previously discussed. Sequentially, net income increased from $2,060 in the second quarter of 2001 to $2,111 in the third quarter of 2001 for reasons previously mentioned. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE was $0.10 for the third quarter of 2001 compared with $0.17 for the same period in 2000. Excluding the restructuring charges and the net loss at InterchangeDigital, earnings per share was $0.12 for the third quarter of 2001 versus $0.20 for the prior year third quarter on a comparable basis. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 DISCUSSION NET SALES of $140,606 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 decreased 11.1% from net sales of $158,228 in the comparable prior year period. Excluding $1,898 sales from 2000's results for the Montreal operations, which were sold June 1, 2000, and excluding $3,571 of print sales from 2000's results that did not recur as a result of the sale of all printing presses in Toronto in August 2000, sales actually dropped 7.9% on a comparable basis. NET INCOME for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $5,574 as compared to $10,370 for the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease in net income was from a combination of lower sales, higher SG&A expenses, increased restructuring charges and lower one-time gains on the sale of equipment than in the prior year to date period. The explanations for these items are included above in the third quarter discussion. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE was $0.26 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $0.49 per share for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in earnings per share was due to the lower sales and other factors described above in the third quarter discussion. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company presently finances its business from available cash held by the Company and from cash generated from operations. The Company maintains a $65,000 unsecured credit facility, which expires in May 2004, of which approximately $30,000 was available for borrowings at September 30, 2001. This facility is subject to certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain certain levels of net worth, working capital, and certain other financial ratios. In addition, the Company maintains a $15,000 unsecured line of credit to provide financing and working capital flexibility. The line of credit is due on demand. As of September 30, 2001, approximately $8,400 was available under the line of credit. The Company also maintains working capital demand lines of credit in Canada (US $3,500) and Malaysia (US $800). Cash from operating activities of $13,482 increased by approximately $616 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 versus the comparable period of the prior year primarily due to lower net sales and profits as discussed above. At September 30, 2001, outstanding debt of the Company consisted of: (i) unsecured notes issued pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated August 18, 1995, with $24,000 remaining to be paid in $6,000 annual installments from 2002 through 2005 at an interest rate of 6.98%; and (iii) $35,000 of borrowings under the Company's unsecured credit facility; and (ii) approximately US $6,600 of borrowings under the Company's US line of credit and zero and US $974 outstanding on the Canadian and Malaysian lines of credit, respectively. 10 Capital expenditures of $2,703 were made during the third quarter of 2001. Depreciation and amortization for the third quarter of 2001 totaled $3,451. During the nine months ended September 30th, pursuant to an existing authorization from the Board of Directors, the Company purchased $1,419 of treasury stock. Management believes that the level of working capital and the cash generated from operations is adequate for the Company's liquidity needs related to normal operations, both currently and in the foreseeable future, and that the Company has sufficient resources to support its moderate near-term growth, either through cash generated from future operations or through availability under its financing arrangements. Company management also believes that if additional financing is required to take advantage of growth opportunities, such financing could be achieved at reasonable cost given the Company's historically strong cash flows. SEASONALITY With respect to consumer products packaging, the prepress market is not currently seasonal. On the other hand, there is generally a three to four year cycle for major design changes that the Company has experienced in the last six years resulting in greater volumes in certain years followed by more modest volumes in subsequent years. With respect to the advertising and promotional markets, some seasonality exists in that the months of December and January are typically the slowest of the year because advertising agencies and their clients typically finish their work by mid-December and don't start up again until mid-January. In addition, advertising and promotion is generally cyclical as the consumer economy is cyclical. In general, when consumer spending and GDP decreases ad pages decline. Consequently, when ad pages decline the Company's advertising and promotion business declines. IMPACT OF INFLATION The Company believes that over the past three years inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's results of operations. 11 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this report has been signed below by the following persons on behalf of the registrant and in the capacities indicated on the 2nd day of November, 2001.
