accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are consistent with those applied for annual periods as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. Other than balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2000, all amounts contained herein are unaudited. Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. NOTE 2: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for using the purchase method, thus eliminating the use of the pooling-of-interests accounting for business combinations. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach, whereby goodwill is assessed annually for impairment and more frequent assessments are conducted if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Additionally, SFAS No. 142 will require all acquired intangible assets be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so. Whereas SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 2001, SFAS No. 142 requires companies to continue to amortize goodwill existing at June 30, 2001 through the end of 2001, ceasing goodwill amortization on January 1, 2002. Amortization charges for the nine-month period ended September 2001 were $4.5. The Company is currently evaluating other impacts of adopting SFAS No. 142 and has not yet quantified the impact on its consolidated financial position. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." The provisions of this statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, this new standard will have on its reported results of operations, financial position and cash flow. NOTE 3: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS Nos. 133 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and 138 - Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - on January 1, 2001. These standards establish new accounting and disclosure requirements for most derivative instruments and hedge transactions involving derivatives. The cumulative effects of adopting these standards on net income and other comprehensive income were not material to net income and other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and shareholders' equity at January 1, 2001. All financial instruments of the Company with the exception of hedge agreements are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company's policy and objective is to manage exposure to variations in foreign currency rates by entering into hedge agreements when appropriate, specifically nondeliverable and for-delivery forward contracts. Hedge agreements are used to offset the effects of currency variations on net investment in foreign subsidiaries and transactional gains and losses arising from foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities. The Company formally designates and documents the hedging relationship and risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation also includes identification of the hedging instrument, the item being hedged, the nature 5 of the risk being hedged, as well as how the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's fair value attributable to the hedged risk will be assessed. The Company's policy is to record changes in fair value of hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries in the currency translation account as a component of shareholders' equity to offset the concurrent gains and losses recorded in the currency translation account associated with the underlying investment. Changes in fair value associated with hedges of foreign currency monetary obligations are recorded in income during the reporting period, when gains and losses associated with the hedged item are also recorded. All derivatives have high correlation with the underlying exposure and are highly effective in offsetting underlying currency movements. Accordingly, changes in derivative fair values are expected to be offset by changes in value of the underlying exposures. Gains or losses associated with settlement of derivative positions when the underlying transaction occurs are recognized in the income statement or recorded as part of the underlying asset or liability, as appropriate in the circumstances. The fair value of outstanding foreign exchange contracts at September 30, 2001 and January 1, 2001 for delivery of various currencies at various future dates during the next year, the changes in fair value during the quarter recorded in income and the amounts recorded in the currency translation account at September 30, 2001 and January 1, 2001 were not material. NOTE 4: DIVESTITURE On March 9, 2000, the Company sold 92.5% of its International Imaging Materials, Inc. ("IIMAK") subsidiary for a total consideration of $127.5, which consisted of $120 in cash and $7.5 of IIMAK preferred stock. NOTE 5: INVENTORIES The components of inventories are set forth below: SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 DECEMBER 31, 2000 ------------------ ----------------- Raw materials $37.8 $35.2 Work-in-Process 8.4 8.7 Finished goods 32.9 36.3 ----- ----- $79.1 $80.2 ===== ===== NOTE 6: LONG-TERM DEBT A summary of long-term debt is set forth below: SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 DECEMBER 31, 2000 ------------------ ----------------- 6.74% Senior Notes $150.0 $150.0 Economic Development Revenue Bonds due 2011 and 2019 13.0 13.0 Other 2.7 2.9 ------ ------ 165.7 165.9 Less current maturities 0.2 0.1 ------ ------ $165.5 $165.8 ====== ====== NOTE 7: ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES A summary of accounts payable and accrued liabilities is set forth below: SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 DECEMBER 31, 2000 ------------------ ----------------- Accounts payable $31.1 $34.2 Accrued payroll costs 20.5 20.9 Other accrued liabilities 39.3 41.1 ----- ----- $90.9 $96.2 ===== ===== 6 NOTE 8: SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Cash paid for income taxes and interest, net of interest income received: FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, --------------------------------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Income Taxes $ 7.9 $ 3.9 Interest $ 9.8 $ 9.4 NOTE 9: COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income for the periods presented below includes foreign currency translation items.

Of the total restructuring and other charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the charges pertaining to severance for 94 management and administrative personnel and 284 manufacturing positions amounted to $4.1. The remaining $4.5 represented various other charges associated with these initiatives. During 2000, the Company recorded a $1.0 (pre-tax) integration/restructuring and other charge pertaining to severance for 9 selling and administrative personnel and 30 manufacturing positions and other costs associated with the discontinuance of supplies manufacturing in Canada, announced in December 2000. Of this amount, $0.3 of severance was unpaid at September 30, 2001 and will be paid during the remainder of 2001. Following is a reconciliation of amounts payable under severance agreements as of January 1, 2001 and September 30, 2001: BEGINNING BALANCE ENDING BALANCE JANUARY 1, 2001 EXPENSES PAYMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 --------------- -------- -------- ------------------ Severance $ 0.7 $ 4.1 $ 2.9 $ 1.9 7 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ALL AMOUNTS IN THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION ARE STATED IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT EMPLOYEE AND PER SHARE DATA. OPERATING RESULTS The following table shows each element of the income statement as a percent of sales for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------ ----------------- September 30, September 30, ------------- ------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- ---- Sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales 62.3 60.9 61.4 61.4 ------ ------ ------ ------ Gross profit 37.7 39.1 38.6 38.6 Selling, general and administrative expense 30.0 28.3 28.8 28.0 Amortization of intangibles 1.1 1.0 1.0 0.9 Restructuring and other special charges 1.4 -- 1.9 -- ------ ------ ------ ------ Operating income 5.2 9.8 6.9 9.7 Gain on sale of IIMAK -- -- -- 10.4 Interest expense, net 1.8 1.5 1.6 1.5 ------ ------ ------ ------ Income before taxes 3.4 8.3 5.3 18.6 Taxes on income 0.6 2.2 1.3 4.6 ------ ------ ------ ------ Net income 2.8% 6.1% 4.0% 14.0% ====== ====== ====== ====== THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED WITH THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 Previously, the Company reported segment financial information for Apparel Identification and Labeling Solutions. Management believes that such reporting is no longer appropriate for the following reasons: (1) there has been a steady convergence and there now exists a commonality of customers for the products of the former segments; and (2) the operations of the former segments have been integrated or are in the process of being integrated under common management structures. Sales were down to $138.8 and $451.2 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared with $158.4 and $486.3 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. Sales from North America decreased 18% to $71.3 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 16% to $229.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, offset somewhat by sales growth in Asia of 8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 decreased to $86.5 and $277.2 compared with $96.5 and $298.6 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. As a percent of sales, such cost increased to 62.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared with 60.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and were 61.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Gross profit was $52.3 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared with $61.9 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The gross profit margin was 37.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared with 39.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, gross profit decreased to $174.0 compared with $187.7 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The gross profit margin was 38.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, gross profit was negatively impacted by $2.5 due to the recording of the Bornemann & Bick ("B&B") inventories acquired at fair value. Excluding this impact, the gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 would have been 39.1%. Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") was $41.6 and $129.7 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared with $44.9 and $136.0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. As 8 a percent of sales, SG&A was 30.0% and 28.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared with 28.3% and 28.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. During the second quarter 2001, the Company undertook specific actions to enhance revenue growth, increase capital efficiency and lower operating costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recorded $8.6 ($0.15 per share) of restructuring and other charges. The restructuring and other charges consisted of $4.1 of severance and $4.5 of other costs associated with these initiatives. As a result of these strategic initiatives, the Company will report a restructuring charge of approximately $11-12 ($0.18-$0.20 per share) in 2001 to cover severance costs for approximately 500 employees, asset write-offs and other associated costs. The remaining amounts will be reported as incurred in the fourth quarter. Operating income was $7.2 and $31.2 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared with $15.5 and $47.4 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. The operating margins were 5.2% and 6.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared 9.8% and 9.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. On March 9, 2000 the Company sold 92.5% of International Imaging Materials, Inc. ("IIMAK"), its thermal transfer ribbons business, for a total consideration of $127.5, which consisted of $120.0 in cash and $7.5 of IIMAK preferred stock. The sale resulted in a gain of $50.3 ($40.3 net of taxes). Interest expense, net, was $2.5 and $7.2 (1.8% and 1.6% of sales) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared with $2.4 and $7.3 (1.5% of sales for both) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. Income before taxes was $4.7 and $24.0 (3.4% and 5.3% of sales) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared with $13.1 and $90.4 (8.3% and 18.6% of sales) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. The effective income tax rate was 17% and 25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared with 26% and 25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. Excluding the net gain on the sale of IIMAK in the amount of $40.3, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 would have been 31%. Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $3.9 and $17.9 (2.8% and 4.0% of sales) compared with $9.7 and $68.1 (6.1% and 14.0% of sales) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. Excluding restructuring and other charges in 2001, and in 2000, the $2.5 million charge to cost of sales for revaluation of B&B finished goods inventory upon acquisition by the Company, as well as the gain on sale of IIMAK, net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $5.5 and $24.2 (4.0% and 5.4% of sales) compared with $9.7 and $29.5 (6.1% of sales for both) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.

The net cash provided by operating activities was $43.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared with $41.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Depreciation and amortization was $24.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared with $26.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. INVESTING ACTIVITIES Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $16.9 compared with $18.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. All new capital projects are carefully analyzed and, other than projects for employee safety and environmental improvement, are required to make a positive contribution on a net present value basis, generating an advantageous internal rate of return on invested capital. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures will be approximately $27 for the year ending December 31, 2001. On May 18, 2000, the Company acquired the B&B group of companies for approximately $51.2. The B&B companies manufacture apparel identification products. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase with assets and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The $31.7 excess of the purchase price and transaction cost over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. On March 9, 2000 the Company sold 92.5% of IIMAK, its thermal transfer ribbons business, for a total consideration of $127.5, which consisted of $120.0 in cash and $7.5 of IIMAK preferred stock. The Company intends to continue its growth, in part by acquisitions of other complementary or related businesses that would be of important strategic value. FINANCING ACTIVITIES The table below sets forth the components of total capital for the periods indicated: September 30, 2001 December 31, 2000 ------------------ ----------------- Due to banks $ 1.5 $ 0.9 Current maturities of long-term debt 0.2 0.1 Long-term debt 165.5 165.8 ------ ------ Total debt $167.2 $166.8 Shareholders' equity 313.2 303.3 ------ ------ Total capital $480.4 $470.1 ====== ====== Total debt as a percent of total capital 34.8% 35.5% ====== ====== At September 30, 2001, total debt as a percent of total capital was 34.8% compared with 35.5% at December 31, 2000. 10 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995. Except for historical information, the Company's reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and periodic press releases, as well as other public documents and statements, contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the statements, regarding, among others: - rate of migration of garment manufacturing industry moving from the United States and Western Europe - worldwide economic and other business conditions that could affect demand for the Company's products in the United States or international markets - the mix of products sold and the profit margins thereon - order cancellation or reduced bookings by customers or distributors - competitive product offerings and pricing actions - the availability and pricing of key raw materials - productivity improvements in manufacturing Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to republish or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrences of unanticipated events. ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company experiences market risk relative to interest rates. A 10% change in interest rates affecting the Company's floating rate debt instruments would have an insignificant impact on the Company's pretax earnings and cash flows over the next fiscal year. Such a move in interest rates would have no effect on the fair value of the Company's floating rate debt instruments. PART II.
