See notes to consolidated financial statements 6 PARIS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 1. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America for complete financial statements. The Summary of Accounting Policies and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the September 30, 2001 Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with the accompanying statements. These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which the Company believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements. The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. 2. The Company has agreements with certain customers and vendors which include potential rebates, commissions, and other liabilities upon the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions. Management had estimated and recorded contingent liabilities of approximately $478,000 as of September 30, 2001 related to these agreements and other potential liabilities. During the three months ended December 31, 2001, management increased the liability to $753,000, reflecting higher obligations. 3. The Company has adopted FASB #128, "Earnings Per Share" as required. Due to the anti-dilutive effect of employee stock options outstanding in the computation of earnings per share, basic and fully diluted earnings per share are identical. 4. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS no. 130"). SFAS No. 130 established new standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and unrealized gains and loses on certain investments in marketable debt and equity securities and its presented in the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no effect on the Company's net income or equity. 5.

Gross Profit ------------ Three Months Comparison Gross Profit for the three months ended December 31, 2001 of $1,591M increased $172M or 12% as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Net sales of $12,356M increased $1,413M or 13% and cost of sales increased $1,241M or 13%. Sales Factors and Cost Factors ------------------------------ Sales of stock computer paper $2,410 decreased $318M or 12%. The unit volume decreased 12% while the average sell price remained flat. The cost of sales for stock computer paper decreased $322M, which is slightly greater than the decline in sales due to favorable purchases of raw material. The sale of continuous custom products of $471M decreased $76M or 14% consistent with the unit volume decline of 14%. The cost of sales for custom continuous of $380M decreased $46M or 12% similar to the decline in revenue. The sale of custom cut sheet products of $843M decreased $139M or 14% while the unit volume declined 17%. The costs of sales for custom cut sheet products declined only 9% resulting in margin erosion. Sales of the Company's Laser3, DocuGard and HCFA product lines have decreased 7% on lower unit volume of 5%. The lower revenue is a timing issue and is not being interpreted as a trend for the product line. Cost of sales declined 11%, which is higher than the decline in sales leading to increased margin percentage. 8 The Consumer segment continues to trend upwards as sales increased from $5,396M to $7,624M resulting in increased sales of $2,228M or 41%. The Burlington value added products and Burlington cut sheets sales increased $172M while the Branded products were the primary contributor of the revenue increase. Cost of sales increased 40% consistent with the revenue increase. Freight expense increased $59M or 15% slightly higher then the revenue increase related to the higher freight cost associated with the Consumer segment. Operating Expenses ------------------ Three Months Comparison Operating expenses of $1,030M decreased $77M or 14%. Marketing expenses declined $59M and sales expenses declined $18M. The marketing decline can be attributed to the expense in FY01 of a joint marketing venture with a third party, which didn't exist in FY02. There was no change in the total General and Administrative expense on a year to year basis. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES ------------------------- Other income of $28M decreased $151M or 84%. The decrease is related to lower investment income during the three months ended December 31, 2001. Interest expense $36M declined $14M or 28% related to lower borrowings outstanding on the working capital line and lower interest rates. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: -------------------------------- Working Capital increased $393M from $14,368M to $14,761M and cash and cash equivalents increased $2,024M during the three months ended December 31, 2001. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,113M. Net income generated cash flow of $371M. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $1503M as trade payables increased due to the high volume of finished goods purchases towards the end of the quarter to meet customer demand. Accounts receivable increased $840M and inventories decreased $179M related to the higher sales volume. Net cash provided by investing activities was $275M related to the sale of investments of $429M and the purchase of equipment of $127M. Net cash provided by financing activities was $636M related to proceeds of $659M from a revolving line of credit. In October 2000, Paris Business Products, Inc. agreed to a revolving line-of-credit with a bank for $3,500M. Borrowings as of December 31, 2001 were $2,364M. The line bears interest at the prime rate (4.75% as of December 31, 2001) and expires March 31, 2002. The line contains financial covenants including minimum working capital requirements, debt to equity limitations, cash flow requirements and other covenants and is collateralized by all of the assets of Paris Business Products, Inc. The Company believes that it has sufficient resources to satisfy ongoing cash requirements. The Company will meet liquidity needs through the revolving line of credit, cash provided by operations and investing activities. 9 PARIS CORPORATION PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
