COLOR PRELUDE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Interim Financial Information The balance sheet at September 30, 2001, and the statements of operations, of changes in divisional equity and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosure related thereto, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financials were prepared following the same policies and procedures used in the preparation of the audited financial statements and all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. Basis of Presentation IST, Corp. ("IST") is a wholly owned subsidiary of AKI, INC. On December 18, 2001 ("Acquisition Date"), IST acquired the business, including substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Color Prelude, Inc. (such business referred to as the "CP" or "Color Prelude"). Historically, separate financial statements were not prepared for CP. These financial statements have been carved out from the historical books and records of the former parent. The divisional equity balance includes (1) the original investment in CP, (2) the results of all subsequent operations, (3) the difference between all costs and expenses paid by the former parent or allocated to CP by its former parent, (4) the interest on debt of the former parent allocated to CP, and (5) all cash transferred to or from its former parent since inception. CP manufactures cosmetic samples using proprietary and patented technology. While its products are not limited to a specific segment of the manufacturing industry, substantially all business is derived from companies in the international cosmetic industry. The only allocations from the parent related to interest expense and group medical insurance costs. All of the allocations and estimates in the financial statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. These allocations and estimates are not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses that would have resulted if CP had been operated as a separate entity. Cash and Cash Equivalents CP considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk CP grants credit terms in the normal course of business to its customers, and as part of its ongoing procedures, CP monitors the credit worthiness of its customers. CP does not believe that it is subject to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk attendant in its business. COLOR PRELUDE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Three customers accounted for 76% of net sales during the year ended December 31, 2000. Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Product sales are recognized at the time the risk of ownership transfers, net of estimated discounts. Accounts receivable is accounted for net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $10 at December 31, 2000. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures that extend the economic lives or improve the efficiency of equipment are capitalized. The costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years, of the assets for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Goodwill Goodwill, which represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of net identifiable assets as of the Acquisition Date, is amortized over a period of fifteen years using the straight-line method. Accumulated amortization was $673 at December 31, 2000. Management periodically reviews the value of its goodwill and other long-lived assets to determine if an impairment has occurred. The potential impairment of recorded goodwill and other long-lived assets is measured by the undiscounted value of expected future operating cash flows in relation to its net capital investment. Based on its review, management does not believe that an impairment of its goodwill or other long-lived assets has occurred. Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets include patents and trademarks and are being amortized over their estimated lives using the straight-line method. Accumulated amortization related to these intangible assets was $756 at December 31, 2000. COLOR PRELUDE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenditures are charged to cost of goods sold in the period incurred. Research and development expenses totaled $339 for the year ended December 31, 2000. Income Taxes Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized at the applicable income tax rates based upon future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently Issued Accounting Standards FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations ("SFAS 141") was issued in June 2001. SFAS 141 changes the accounting and reporting for business combinations. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142") was issued in June 2001. SFAS 142 changes the accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and must be applied at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year. SFAS 142 requires the use of a nonamortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a nonamortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operations, but instead would be reviewed for impairment at least annually and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its fair value.

RETIREMENT PLANS A 401(k) defined contribution retirement savings plan (the "Plan") is maintained for substantially all full-time salaried employees. Applicable employees who have three months of service and have attained age 21 are eligible to participate in the Plan. Employees may elect to contribute a percentage of their earnings to the Plan in accordance with limits prescribed by law. The parent made contributions to the Plan by matching a percentage of employee contributions. Contributions to the Plan totaled $68 for the year ended December 31, 2000. 6. INCOME TAXES The income tax provision (primarily federal) for the year ended December 31, 2000 consists of the following: Current............................. $ 217 Deferred............................ 166 ------- $ 383 ======= The income tax provision recognized by CP for the year ended December 31, 2000 differs from the amount determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to pretax income primarily as a result of nondeductible expenses and state income taxes, net of the federal income tax effect. The net deferred tax liability at December 31, 2000 is composed of the tax effect of differences in depreciation for tax and book purposes. 7.

AKI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA AKI, Inc. ("AKI") organized IST, Corp. ("IST") for purposes of acquiring the business including substantially all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Color Prelude, Inc. (such business referred to as "CP" or "Color Prelude"). IST was capitalized by an equity contribution from AKI; and on December 18, 2001, IST acquired CP. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data of AKI are based upon historical financial statements of AKI as adjusted to give effect to the CP acquisition. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2001 gives effect to the CP acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2001. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2001 and for the three months ended September 30, 2001 give effect to the CP acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. Pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are applied to the historical condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statements of operations of AKI to account for the CP acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. The CP acquisition purchase price has been allocated to assets purchased and liabilities assumed based upon estimates of their respective fair value as of September 30, 2001 as determined by management. The pro forma adjustments are based on estimated, available information and certain assumptions and may be revised as additional information becomes available. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data do not purport to represent what AKI's results of operations or financial position that would actually have resulted if the CP acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated and are not necessarily representative of AKI's results of operations for any future period. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statements of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the other financial information appearing in AKI's annual report Form 10-K and quarterly report Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2001 and November 9, 2001, respectively.
