               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 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are shown on the face of
the statement of operations. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares and common stock equivalent shares outstanding (stock
options) for the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

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.

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.
