Net Income Per Share Data: The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") and Diluted EPS computations (shares in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2000 1999 2000 1999 --------- --------- --------- --------- Basic EPS 2,463,519 2,305,460 2,452,408 2,305,460 Effect of dilutive stock options 126,448 52,182 101,044 37,506 Convertible shares - 644,180 - 644,180 Diluted EPS 2,589,967 3,001,822 2,553,452 2,987,146 Preferred stock dividends of $68 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, have been deducted from the net income generated to arrive at the income available to common stockholders for the calculation of basic EPS.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OF OPERATIONS (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS) ----------------------------------- Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Net sales increased $4,344 or 35%, for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The large increase in sales was due to several reasons. First, the Company's acquisition, in June 2000, of Uniflex, a heat shrink label manufacturer, contributed $2,584 in sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Second, several of the Company's global consumer product customers launched new products during the three months ended September 30, 2000. Lastly, new customers contributed to the sales increase as well. Gross profit increased $1,252 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company's recent acquisition contributed $1,024 to gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The additional increase in gross profit was attributable to the volume increase and the continued improvement of efficiencies and waste reduction realized at the Scottsburg, Indiana manufacturing facility. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $435 as compared to the same prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to additional expenses incurred as a result of the companies acquired in 1999 and 2000. Interest expense increased $303 as compared to the same period in the prior year and was the result of higher average interest rates and increased debt levels. The Company increased debt in connection with the acquisitions in 1999 and 2000 by $14,050. Income tax expense totaled $477 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. There was minimal income tax expense recorded for the same period in the prior year. The Company now records income tax expense as the Company expects to fully utilize net operating loss carryforwards and no longer requires a valuation allowance to be recorded against tax assets recorded on the Company's balance sheet. The net income for the period was $733 ($.28 per diluted share) as compared to net income of $783 ($.26 per diluted share after payment of preferred stock dividends) in the same period in the prior year. Six Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to the Six Months Ended September 30, 1999 Net sales increased $4,456 or 17%, in the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in sales was due to several reasons. First, the Company's recent acquisition of Uniflex contributed $3,466 in sales for the six months ended September 30, 2000. Second, several of the Company's global consumer product customers launched new products during the three months ended September 30, 2000. Lastly, new customers contributed to the sales increase as well. These sales increases were offset by several of the Company's customers working off inventories during the three months ended June 30, 2000 that were built up in 1999 in anticipation of potential Y2K interruptions. Gross profit increased $1,741 or 43% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross profit margin for the first six months of fiscal 2001 was 19% as compared to 15% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit margin was attributable to the Company's recent acquisition as well as the continued improvement of efficiencies and waste reduction realized at the Scottsburg, Indiana facility. -8- 9 Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $571 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was attributable to additional expenses incurred as a result of the companies acquired in 1999 and 2000. Interest expense increased $520 as compared to the same period in the prior year and was the result of higher average interest rates and increased debt levels. The Company increased debt in connection with the acquisitions in 1999 and 2000. Income tax expense increased $844 as compared to the same period in the prior year. There was minimal income tax expense recorded for the same period in the prior year. The Company now records income tax expense as the Company expects to fully utilize net operating loss carryforwards and no longer requires a valuation allowance to be recorded against tax assets recorded on the Company's balance sheet. The net income for the period was $1,346 ($.53 per diluted share) as compared to net income of $1,697 ($.57 per diluted share) in the same period in the prior year. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company is dependent on availability under its Revolving Credit Agreement, approximately $3,500 at September 30, 2000, and its operations to provide for cash needs. The Company entered into a new credit agreement with PNC Bank, Ohio, National Association and another lender on June 6, 2000 which is a restatement of its prior credit agreements. The new credit agreement provides for available borrowings under a revolving line of credit up to a maximum of $5,000. It also provides for a $7,200 acquisition facility, which was utilized in June 2000 in connection with the Company's acquisition of Uniflex. Under the terms of the new credit agreement, the Company is subject to a number of financial covenants. Additionally, the Company is prohibited from paying dividends on its outstanding stock. Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") was $2,525 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $1,590 for the same period in the prior year. This increase is due to the increased operating income incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Through the six months ended September 30, 2000, net cash provided by operating activities was $3,401 compared to net cash provided of $1,650 through the same period of the prior year. The increase was due to an increase in operating income as well as a decrease in accounts receivable and inventories (exclusive of the recent acquisition) and a decrease in the deferred tax asset as a result of expected utilization of the Company's net operating loss carry-forwards. Through the six months ended September 30, 2000, net cash used in investing activities was $8,002 compared to net cash provided of $872 through the same period of the prior year. The change is due to the acquisition of Uniflex Corporation on June 5, 2000. In the same period of the prior year, the Scottsburg, Indiana facility was sold to a third party in a sale leaseback transaction. Through the six months ended September 30, 2000, net cash provided by financing activities was $4,599 compared to net cash used of $2,528 through the same period of the prior year. The increase was due to the loan incurred in connection with the acquisition of Uniflex. On October 19, 2000 the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $250,000 per year of the Company's outstanding common shares subject to market conditions and other investment opportunities. -9- 10 The Company believes it has both sufficient short and long term liquidity financing. The Company had a positive working capital position of $1,389 and $133 at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. At September 30, 2000 the Company was in compliance with its loan covenants and current in its principal and interest payments on all debt. The Company intends to make capital expenditures of approximately $2,500 during fiscal 2001. The Company believes that cash flow from operations and availability under the revolving line of credit are sufficient to meet its capital requirements and debt service requirements for the next twelve months. From time to time the Company has reviewed potential acquisitions of businesses. While the Company has no present commitments to acquire any businesses, such an acquisition may require the Company to issue additional equity or incur additional debt.
