NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2001

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Perry Judd’s Holdings, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of the Company, considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2001 and its related results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000. As permitted by these regulations, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to be included in an annual set of financial statements; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 was derived from the Company’s latest audited consolidated financial statements. It is suggested that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the latest audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. INVENTORIES

Inventories are summarized as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2001		2000

Raw materials	$	8,977	$	9,544
Work-in-process	6,006		6,238
Production supplies and maintenance parts	3,601		3,592

Total	$	18,584	$	19,374

3. RECLASSIFICATIONS

In May 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.” EITF 00-10 provides guidance on the financial reporting of shipping and handling fees and costs in the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company adopted EITF 00-10 and, as a result, amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to shipping costs are reported as net sales and the related costs incurred for shipping are reported as costs of production and distribution. The Company previously reported shipping costs as a reduction of net sales. Prior year condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the new requirements.

4. RETIREMENT PLAN TERMINATION

Effective December 31, 1997, benefits payable under a defined benefit pension plan existing at the time of the Company’s December 16, 1997 acquisition of Judd’s Incorporated were frozen. On December 14, 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to terminate the plan. In June 2001, the Company received a favorable advance termination letter from the Internal Revenue Service and has substantially completed the termination of the plan through lump sum payments and the purchase of annuity contracts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recorded a gain on the termination of the pension plan of approximately $1,233,000. Additional net excess plan assets could revert to the Company by December 31, 2001.

5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2002, and applies to goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. The Company is continuing to assess the impact of SFAS No. 142 on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

Nine Months ended September 30, 2001 versus Nine Months ended September 30, 2000.

Net sales decreased $9.7 million or 3.8% to $243.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $253.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease resulted primarily from the sale of Judd’s Online on October 19, 2000 whose net sales of $4.2 million are included in the 2000 results and from lower volume of production units from new and existing customers.

Costs of production and distribution decreased $10.7 million or 5.3% to $192.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $203.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, principally due to the sale of Judd’s Online, lower operating expenses resulting from lower production levels and the termination of a defined benefit pension plan. Costs of production as a percent of net sales were 79.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to 80.5% experienced in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Paper costs were 23.9% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 versus 23.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.7 million or 6.7% to $23.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $25.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, principally related to the sale of Judd’s Online. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percent of net sales to 9.7% in the 2001 period compared to 10.0% in the 2000 period.

Depreciation expense increased $0.8 million or 7.9% to $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as a result of new assets placed in service within the past twelve months.

Income from operations increased $2.4 million or 18.5% to $15.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, due to the factors discussed in the preceding paragraphs.

Interest expense decreased $0.5 million or 4.8% to $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 due to reduced debt levels and lower borrowing rates.

Three Months ended September 30, 2001 versus Three Months ended September 30, 2000.

Net sales decreased $6.6 million or 7.1% to $87.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $93.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease resulted from substantially lower volume of production units from new and existing customers.

Costs of production and distribution decreased $6.6 million or 8.8% to $68.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $75.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, principally from the overall decreased volume of production and the termination of a defined benefit pension plan. Costs of production as a percent of net sales were 78.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to 80.1% experienced in the three months ended September 30, 2000. Paper costs were 23.2% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2001 versus 24.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million or 8.2% to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, principally related to the sale of Judd’s Online. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percent of net sales to 9.0% in the 2001 period compared to 9.1% in the 2000 period.

Depreciation expense increased $0.2 million or 5.9% to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as a result of new assets placed in service within the past twelve months.

Income from operations increased $0.4 million or 6.3% to $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, due to the factors discussed in the preceding paragraphs.

Interest expense decreased $0.2 million or 5.7% to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as a result of reduced debt levels and lower borrowing rates during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has funded its capital and operating requirements with a combination of cash flow from operations, borrowings and external operating leases. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash compensation related to common stock options and gains and losses on disposition of assets (“EBITDA”) was $26.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Working capital was $30.5 million and $33.7 million at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

Since the inception of operations on April 28, 1995, the Company has funded the majority of its needs for production equipment through operating leases and borrowings under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which expires on December 15, 2002. The Credit Agreement is comprised of a $45 million revolving credit facility based upon a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and inventory amounts and a term loan facility with an outstanding balance of $9.3 million at September 30, 2001. The Credit Agreement provides for monthly reductions in its term loan facility and borrowings bear interest at rates that fluctuate with the prime rate and the Eurodollar rate. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had $2.3 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, approximately $9.3 million was expended on capital projects that will be converted to operating leases in the near future.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the Company’s diverse operations and large customer base. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit risk.

The Company believes that its liquidity, capital resources and cash flows are sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures, working capital requirements and interest and principal payments for the foreseeable future.

Seasonality

Results of operations for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The Company’s operations are seasonal. Historically, approximately two-thirds of its income from operations has been generated in the second half of the fiscal year, primarily due to the higher number of magazine pages, new product launches and back-to-school and holiday catalog promotions.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The information called for under this item is contained in Notes 2 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Company has not experienced any material changes in its market risk exposures since December 31, 2000.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

The quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “projects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “will,” “estimate,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important language regarding factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from such expectations are disclosed in this Report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2001, and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by such language. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
