Retirement Savings Plan In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits, with fund information and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits, with fund information present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Penton Media, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the four months ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule 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. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP - ------------------------------ Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP Cleveland, Ohio June 27, 2000 5 6 PENTON MEDIA, INC.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. PLAN DESCRIPTION The following description of the Penton Media, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. General ------- Prior to August 7, 1998, Penton Media, Inc. ("Penton" or "Company") was a wholly owned subsidiary of Pittway Corporation ("Pittway"). Pittway distributed 100% of Penton's common stock on August 7, 1998, to Pittway's shareholders in a tax-free spinoff. On September 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Plan, a 401(k) defined contribution plan. Assets, in the amount of $49,160,575 and $231,007, and liabilities attributable to Penton employees in the Pittway Corporation Blue Chip and Profit Sharing Savings Plan were transferred to the Plan during 1998 and 1999, respectively. In November 1998, Penton acquired all of the outstanding shares of Mecklermedia Corporation which was renamed Internet World Media, Inc. ("Internet World Media"). On February 1, 1999 Internet World Media began participation in the Penton Plan. Effective December 31, 1999, the assets from the Mecklermedia Corporation 401(k) Plan valued at $1,610,627, were transferred to Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. ("Fidelity"), the trustee of the Plan. In May 1999, Penton acquired substantially all the assets of New Hope Communications, Inc. ("New Hope"). On July 1, 1999, New Hope began participation in the Penton Plan. The New Hope employees were given the option to either remain in the New Hope Communications, Inc. 401(k) Plan ("New Hope Plan") or transfer assets to the Penton Plan. Assets rolled over from the New Hope Plan are included in participant contributions. On November 30, 1999, Penton sold its Printing segment. Employees of the segment were given the option to stay in the Plan, transfer their balances to an IRA, transfer their balances to a new plan or receive a distribution. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). All non-union employees of the Company become eligible to participate in the plan on the first day of the month that is at least 30 days after the date on which the employee begins employment with the Company. Contributions ------------- Each year, participants may contribute up to 15 percent of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. Unless waived, 3% of an eligible employee's compensation will automatically be deducted and contributed to the Plan. The matching percentage contributed by the Company is determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, at their discretion. The Company contributes 50% percent of the first 6% percent of the contribution that the participant contributes to the Plan. Contributions are subject to certain limitations. The Plan also permits rollover contributions from other qualified retirement plans. Rollover contributions are included in participant contributions and amounted to $1,310,289 in 1999 and $196,922 in 1998. Participant accounts -------------------- Fidelity maintains an individual account for each participant. This account is credited with participant contributions, employer matching contributions and Plan earnings, as allocated, based upon each participant's election.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Vesting ------- Participants are immediately vested in both employee and the employer contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. Investment options ------------------ Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee and matching employer contributions in whole percent increments in any of eight investment options held by Fidelity. Two of the investment options are no longer available for investment purposes as noted in the descriptions which follow. Northern Trust is the trustee for the following funds: Penton Media, Inc. Stock Fund, Pittway Corporation Stock Fund and the AptarGroup Inc. Stock Fund. Northern Trust reports all activity of these funds to Fidelity. Fidelity manages the following remaining funds: Retirement Government Money Market Portfolio, Managed Income Portfolio, Growth & Income Portfolio, Aggressive Growth Fund (known as Fidelity Emerging Growth Fund in 1998), Magellan Fund, Spartan 500 Index Fund (known as Spartan Market Index Fund in 1998) and the Diversified International Fund. Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market Portfolio is a money market mutual fund that invests in obligations, issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government. Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio is a stable value fund (common or collective trust). It invests primarily in high-quality, short and long term insurance company investment contracts (GICs), bank investment contracts (BICs), short term money market instruments and "synthetic" GICs (debt obligations issued by one institution and insured by another as to the payment of principal at maturity). Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio is a growth and income mutual fund, which seeks long-term capital growth, current income, and growth of income consistent with reasonable investment risk. It invests primarily in U.S. and foreign stocks, focusing on those that pay dividends and show potential earnings growth. It may also invest in bonds. Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund (known as Fidelity Emerging Growth Fund in 1998) is a growth mutual fund and invests primarily in stocks of small and medium size developing companies that have the potential to grow rapidly. Such stocks may be subject to abrupt or erratic price changes. Fidelity Magellan Fund is a growth mutual fund and seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in the stocks of both well known and lesser known companies with potentially above-average growth potential and a correspondingly higher level of risk. Securities held by the fund may include both foreign and domestic companies. Spartan 500 Index Fund (known as Spartan Market Index Fund in 1998) is a growth mutual fund and invests primarily in the stocks that are included in the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 stocks and other securities that are based on the value of the index. Fidelity Diversified International Fund is a growth mutual fund that invests primarily in stocks of companies located outside of the U.S. that are included in the Morgan & Stanley EAFE Index (Europe, Australia, Far East Index). It seeks stocks of larger companies that are considered undervalued in their countries. AptarGroup, Inc. Stock Fund is a fund which, under a former plan, invested exclusively in shares of AptarGroup, Inc. stock. Any contributions or investment gains previously invested in the AptarGroup, Inc. Stock Fund, may, at the present time, remain invested in Aptar Stock. These contributions or investment gains may be reinvested in another fund. The AptarGroup, Inc. Stock Fund is no longer available as an investment option for future contributions. 11 12 PENTON MEDIA, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Pittway Corporation Stock Fund is a fund which, under a former plan, invested exclusively in shares of Pittway Corporation Class A stock. Any contributions or investment gains previously invested in the Pittway Corporation Stock Fund may, at the present time, remain invested in Pittway Stock. These contributions or investment gains may be reinvested in another fund. The Pittway Corporation Stock Fund is no longer available as an investment option for future contributions. Penton Media, Inc. Stock Fund invests exclusively in shares of Penton Media, Inc. stock. Investment gains may result from both dividends and increases in the market value of shares. Shares in the Penton Media, Inc. Stock Fund are acquired on the open market at fair market value on the date purchased. Participant loans ----------------- Participants may borrow from the fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 not to exceed 50 percent of the vested account balance. Loan repayments are treated as a transfer to the investment funds from the Loan Fund. Participant loans are reflected as a transfer from the respective investment funds to the Loan Fund. Loan terms may not exceed five years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's vested account and carry an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus one percent on the date of the loan. Interest rates range from 8.75 percent to 10.50 percent. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. Payment of benefits and withdrawals ----------------------------------- A participant may withdraw the account balance by calling Fidelity directly. Hardship withdrawals require documentation of an immediate financial need and the withdrawal must meet requirements outlined in the plan document. Upon termination of employment or death, the accumulated benefits will be paid to the participant based on the payment election. Participants may elect to receive either a lump sum, a series of installments over a period of time as determined by the plan document, or a combination of the two. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of accounting ------------------- The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets the net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on those investments. Use of estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition ------------------------------------------- Investments in the AptarGroup, Inc. Stock Fund, Pittway Corporation Stock Fund, and Penton Media, Inc. Stock Fund are valued at quoted market prices at year end. Investments in the Fidelity Magellan Fund, Fidelity Growth and Income Portfolio, Spartan 500 Index Fund (known as Spartan Market Index Fund in 1998), Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund (known as Fidelity Emerging Growth Fund in 1998) and Fidelity Diversified International Fund are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Investments in the Fidelity Retirement Government 12 13 Money Market Portfolio and Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio are stated at fair value as determined by the trustee. Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates market value. Purchases and sales of securities, including related gains and losses, are recorded as of the trade date. Interest income is recorded when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Payment of Benefits ------------------- Benefits are recorded when paid by the Plan. Trustee Expenses and Administrative Expenses -------------------------------------------- Trustee expenses and administrative expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid by the Company. 3. PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS Party-in-interest transactions consist of loans made to participants, investments in the Fidelity Funds and investments in the Penton Media, Inc. Stock Fund, Pittway Corporation Stock Fund, and AptarGroup, Inc. Stock Fund. 4. PLAN 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 subject to the provisions of ERISA. 5.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS The Plan has not filed for a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service that qualifies it under the appropriate section of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). However, Pittway received a favorable determination letter dated May 22, 1995. Since the Plan was spun-off in the same form the plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. As such, the Plan financial statements do not reflect any accruals for federal and state taxes. The Plan is within the remedial amendment period which extends the filing until December 31, 2001. 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On March 15, 2000 Penton sold its Direct Mail segment. Participants in the Plan were given the option to leave the participant balances in the Plan, transfer the balance to a qualified IRA, transfer the balance to a new plan or receive a distribution. In February 2000, Pittway was sold to Honeywell International, Inc. This transaction has no impact on the Plan financial statements for 1999. 14 15 PENTON MEDIA, INC.
