See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 7 AMSCAN HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Amscan Holdings, Inc. ("Amscan Holdings" and, together with its subsidiaries, "Amscan," or the "Company") designs, manufactures, contracts for manufacture and distributes party goods, including metallic balloons, gifts and stationery, principally in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. NOTE 2 - THE TRANSACTIONS On April 30, 2004, Amscan and AAH Acquisition Corporation ("AAH Acquisition"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAH Holdings Corporation ("AAH Holdings"), a privately held corporation jointly controlled by funds affiliated with Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio (together the "Principal Investors"), entered into a merger agreement, with Amscan continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAH Holdings. Under the terms of the agreement, the equity interests in Amscan held by GS Capital Partners II, L.P. and certain other private investment funds managed by Goldman, Sachs & Co., (collectively "GSCP"), and all other stockholders, other than certain management investors, were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive cash. Cash paid to consummate the acquisition totaled $529,982,000 and was financed with initial borrowings (before deducting deferred financing costs of $13,084,000) consisting of a $205,000,000 term loan under a new senior secured credit facility which includes a $50,000,000 revolving loan facility, the proceeds from the issuance of $175,000,000 of 8.75% senior subordinated notes due 2014, an equity contribution from the Principal Investors and employee stockholders of $140,524,000, borrowings under the revolver of $23,551,000 and approximately $2,900,000 of cash on hand. Certain existing employee shareholders participated in the Transactions (as defined hereafter) by purchasing approximately 296.91 shares of common stock. The Chief Executive Officer and the President of the Company exchanged 5.4945 and 2.7472 of their shares of common stock of the Predecessor (as defined hereafter) for 100 and 50 shares of common stock of the Company with an equivalent value of $1,000,000 and $500,000, respectively. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer and the President of the Company exchanged vested options to purchase 5.607 and 2.804 shares of Predecessor common stock, which had intrinsic values of $600,000 and $300,000, respectively, for vested options to purchase 65.455 and 32.727 shares of Common Stock, respectively, under the Company's equity incentive plan with intrinsic values of $492,000 and $245,000 and fair values of $590,000 and $290,000, respectively. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting which required that the Company adjust its assets and liabilities to their relative fair values. In order to reflect the ultimate beneficial ownership of the Company, the capital structure disclosed in the consolidated financial statements is the capital structure of AAH Holdings. The purchase price has been allocated based upon the fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition. The allocations were based on independent valuations which were finalized during the second quarter of 2005. The purchase price was principally allocated to accounts receivable ($91,200,000), inventories ($81,600,000), property plant and equipment ($94,400,000), goodwill ($282,998,000), other intangible assets ($60,800,000), prepaid expenses and other current and non-current assets ($21,400,000), and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of ($102,333,000). As a result of the finalization of the independent valuations, during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded approximately $583,000 of additional non-current liabilities, with corresponding increases to goodwill, other intangibles and deferred taxes. In addition, the Company recorded amortization of leasehold reserves of $348,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, relating to the period from acquisition to December 31, 2004. Goodwill and trade names are not amortizable and the amortization of other intangible assets is not deductible for income tax purposes. Concurrent with the acquisition, on April 30, 2004, the following financing transactions were also consummated: the repayment of a term loan of $147,724,000 under the Company's then existing senior secured credit facility and the termination of all commitments thereunder; the redemption of $87,200,000 of the $110,000,000 8 AMSCAN HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED (UNAUDITED) aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Company's 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2007 for $93,500,000 or 103.542% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, following the Company's tender offer and consent solicitation; and repayment of an $8,500,000 mortgage obligation with a financial institution (the acquisition together with the foregoing financing transactions are referred to herein collectively as the "Transactions"). As used herein, "Predecessor" refers to the Company prior to the Transactions. On May 31, 2004, the remaining outstanding 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2007 were redeemed pursuant to the redemption notice. The Company financed the redemption with borrowings under its new revolving credit facility. The new senior subordinated notes were sold to the initial purchasers on April 30, 2004, and were subsequently resold to qualified institutional buyers and non-U.S. persons in reliance upon Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Note Offering"). In connection with the Note Offering, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, which granted holders of the new notes certain exchange and registration rights. In August 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-4 offering to exchange registered notes for the notes issued in connection with the Note Offering. The terms of the notes and the exchange notes are substantially identical. The exchange was completed in October 2004. In connection with the Transactions in April 2004, the Company recorded non-recurring expenses of $11,757,000 comprised of $6,209,000 of debt retirement costs and the write-off of $5,548,000 of deferred financing costs associated with the repayment of debt in connection with the Transactions. The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the Transactions had occurred on January 1, 2004. The pro forma information, as presented below, is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been obtained had the Transactions occurred on January 1, 2004, nor is it necessarily indicative of the Company's future results (dollars in thousands):
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 ------------------ Net sales.................................... $294,675 Net income................................... $ 10,808
The pro forma net income amounts reflect the following items: (i) adjustments for interest expense from new borrowings related to the Transactions and the elimination of historical interest on debt repaid in the Transactions, (ii) management fees to be paid to our Principal Investors, (iii) the elimination of non-recurring expenses related to the Transactions, (iv) the elimination of the increase in cost of sales in 2004 arising from the revaluation of inventories as a result of purchase price allocation, (v) adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense arising from the valuation of property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, as a result of the purchase price allocation, and (vi) the related income tax effects of the above items based upon a pro forma effective income tax rate of 39.5%. 9 AMSCAN HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amscan Holdings and its majority-owned and controlled entities. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. The results of operations may be affected by seasonal factors such as the timing of holidays or industry factors that may be specific to a particular period, such as movement in and the general level of raw material costs. For further information, see the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. NOTE 4 - INVENTORIES Inventories consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES The consolidated income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the five months ended September 30, 2004 and the four months ended April 30, 2004 (Predecessor) was determined based upon estimates of the Company's consolidated effective income tax rates for the year ending December 31, 2005, the eight months ended December 31, 2004 and the four months ended April 30, 2004 (Predecessor), respectively. The differences between the consolidated effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate are primarily attributable to state income taxes and the effects of foreign operations, including available foreign tax credits. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded a $1,400,000 reduction to its income tax expense and net deferred income tax liability to reflect a change in its estimated state income tax rate. The tax rate change results from a change in New York State tax law governing the apportionment of income. 10 AMSCAN HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTE 7 - CAPITAL STOCK At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company's authorized capital stock consisted of 10,000.00 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value, of which no shares were issued or outstanding and 40,000.00 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of which 14,011.98 and 13,962.38 shares were issued and outstanding, respectively. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company's two outside directors purchased a total of 60.0 shares of its Common Stock for $600,000. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company purchased and retired 10.4 shares of redeemable Common Stock held by a former officer for $104,000. In connection with the Transactions (see Note 2), certain existing employee stockholders purchased 296.91 shares of AAH Holdings Common Stock based on the same price and terms per share as paid by the other equity investors. Under the terms of the AAH Holdings stockholders' agreement dated April 30, 2004, the Company has an option to purchase all of the shares of Common Stock held by former employees and, under certain circumstances, former employee stockholders can require the Company to purchase all of the shares held by the former employee. The purchase price as prescribed in the stockholders' agreement is to be determined through a market valuation of the minority-held shares or, under certain circumstances, based on cost, as defined therein. The aggregate amount that may 11 AMSCAN HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED (UNAUDITED) be payable to all employee stockholders based on the fully paid and vested common securities is classified as redeemable common securities on the consolidated balance sheet at the estimated fair market value of the common stock, with a corresponding adjustment to stockholders' equity. At September 30, 2005, the aggregate amount that may be payable to employee stockholders and employee option holders was approximately $3,601,000. As there is no active market for the Company's Common Stock, the Company estimated the fair value based on recently consummated transactions. In connection with the Transactions, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its President exchanged 5.4945 and 2.7472 of their shares of Amscan Holdings Common Stock for 100 and 50 shares of AAH Common Stock with an equivalent value of $1,000,000 and $500,000, respectively. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer and the President exchanged 5.607 and 2.804 vested options to purchase shares of Amscan Holdings Common Stock, which had intrinsic values of $600,000 and $300,000, respectively, for vested options to purchase 65.455 and 32.727 shares of AAH Common Stock under the new equity incentive plan with intrinsic values of $492,000 and $245,000 and estimated fair values of $590,000 and $290,000, respectively (see Note 10). The fair value of the AAH options was included in the equity contribution related to the Transactions; however as the options are options to purchase redeemable common stock, their estimated redemption value is classified as redeemable common securities on the consolidated balance sheet. On March 30, 2001, the Predecessor issued 40 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to GSCP for proceeds of $6,000,000. Dividends were cumulative and payable annually, at 6% per annum. On March 30, 2004, the annual dividends were distributed in additional shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. In connection with the Transactions, on April 30, 2004, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, including accrued dividends of $34,000. The Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to retain its earnings for working capital, repayment of indebtedness, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. In addition, the Company's current credit facility and the indenture governing its senior subordinated notes contain restrictive covenants which have the effect of limiting the Company's ability to pay dividends or distributions to its stockholders. NOTE 8 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is a party to certain claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe the outcome of these proceedings will result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on its financial condition or future results of operations. NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In connection with the Transactions, the Company executed a management agreement with Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio. Pursuant to the management agreement, Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio will be paid annual management fees of $833,333 and $416,667, respectively. At September 30, 2005, accrued management fees payable to Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio totaled $138,889 and $69,445, respectively. Although the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes will permit the payments under the management agreement, such payments will be restricted during an event of default under the notes and will be subordinated in right of payment to all obligations due with respect to the notes in the event of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of Amscan. In April 2004, Goldman Sachs and its affiliates received fees totaling $8,123,000 for services provided in connection with the Transactions. 12 AMSCAN HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED (UNAUDITED) During the four months ended April 30, 2004, the Company sold $235,000 and $836,000 of metallic balloons and other party goods to American Greetings Corporation, a minority stockholder from February 2002 through the date of the Transactions. NOTE 10 - STOCK OPTION PLAN Effective May 1, 2004, the Company elected to apply the fair value method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, as amended by SFAS No.148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 123 permits entities to recognize as expense, over the vesting period, the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 allows entities to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," which requires the recognition of compensation expense at the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price, and to provide pro forma net income disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair value based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition to SFAS No.123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No.123. In April 2005, the SEC deferred the implementation date of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. As a result, the Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) effective January 1, 2006 rather than the initial implementation date of July 2005. The Company is evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R), including the valuation methods, the support for the assumptions that underlie the valuation of awards and the transition methods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company granted 727 basic stock options and 770 performance stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock to certain employees and two directors under the terms of the AAH Holdings Corporation 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. The basic and performance stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the common stock's estimated fair value of $10,000 per share and generally vest 20% at each anniversary date of issuance. The performance options are earned based on the Company achieving certain financial thresholds, upon the occurrence of certain determination dates. The Company used a minimum value method to determine the fair value of the options granted and recorded approximately $112,000 and $224,000 in compensation expense, in general and administrative expenses during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005. Prior to the Transactions, the Predecessor elected to apply the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25 for awards granted under its stock-based compensation plans and to provide the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123. No compensation cost was recognized in connection with the issuance of options under the Amscan Holdings, Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, (the "Predecessor Plan") through April 30, 2004 as all options were granted with exercise prices equal to the estimated fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Had the Predecessor determined stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the options granted at the grant date, consistent with the method prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the Predecessor's net loss would have 13 AMSCAN HOLDINGS, INC.

In connection with the Transactions, all options granted under the Predecessor Plan vested immediately on April 30, 2004 and, except for those held by the Chief Executive Officer and the President (see Note 7), all options were exercised. The Chief Executive Officer and the President exchanged 5.607 and 2.804 vested options to purchase shares of Predecessor Common Stock, which had intrinsic values of $600,000 and $300,000, respectively, for vested options to purchase 65.455 and 32.727 shares of Company Common Stock under the new equity incentive plan with intrinsic values of $492,000 and $245,000 and estimated fair values of $590,000 and $290,000, respectively. Such options were recorded as part of the purchase price allocations and have been classified as redeemable common securities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. NOTE 11 - PENDING ACQUISITION On September 27, 2005, the Company and AAH Holdings entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Party City Corporation, the Company's largest customer and a leading retailer of party goods with 249 company-owned and operated stores and 250 franchise locations throughout the U.S. During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2004, sales to Party City company-owned and operated stores and franchise locations each accounted for approximately 14% of the Company's net sales. For the fiscal year ended July 2, 2005, Party City reported revenues of approximately $500,000,000 and total chain-wide net sales of approximately $1,000,000,000. Under the terms of the agreement, Party City shareholders will receive total consideration of approximately $360,000,000. The acquisition, which is subject to receipt of debt financing, as well as approval by Party City's shareholders and other customary conditions, is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2005 or the first quarter of 2006. The Company plans to finance the acquisition through a combination of equity contributed by affiliates of Berkshire Partners and Weston Presidio, and debt financing provided, directly or through certain affiliates, by Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Banc of America Securities. Goldman Sachs and Banc of America directly or through certain affiliates, have signed a commitment letter containing customary conditions precedent for the bank financing required for the acquisition. Affiliates of each of Berkshire Partners and Weston Presidio have provided a commitment letter with respect to the equity financing, subject to certain customary conditions. The Company does not intend to redeem or seek consent for waiver or amendments for the 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes currently issued by one of its subsidiaries. NOTE 12 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION In connection with the consummation of the Transactions, on April 30, 2004, all borrowings under the then existing credit agreement were repaid and the facility was terminated. In addition, $87,200,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2007 were accepted in a tender offer and a redemption 14 AMSCAN HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED (UNAUDITED) notice was issued for the remaining senior subordinated notes (see Note 2). The aggregate cost to purchase the 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2007 tendered pursuant to the tender offer was approximately $93,500,000, or 103.542% of the principal amount of such 9.875% senior subordinated notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. On May 31, 2004, the remaining $22,800,000 in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 9.875% senior subordinated notes were redeemed pursuant to the redemption notice at a price of 103.292% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The acquisition was financed with initial borrowings consisting of a $205,000,000 term loan under a new senior secured credit facility, which includes a $50,000,000 revolving loan facility, the proceeds from the issuance of $175,000,000 of 8.75% senior subordinated notes due 2014, the equity contribution by our Principal Investors and employee stockholders of $140,524,000, borrowings under the revolver of $23,551,000 and approximately $2,900,000 of cash on hand.

25 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THE TRANSACTIONS On April 30, 2004, Amscan and AAH Acquisition Corporation ("AAH Acquisition"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAH Holdings Corporation ("AAH Holdings"), a privately held corporation jointly controlled by funds affiliated with Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio (together the "Principal Investors") entered into a merger agreement, with Amscan continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAH Holdings. Under the terms of the agreement, the equity interests in Amscan of GS Capital Partners II, L.P. and certain other private investment funds managed by Goldman, Sachs & Co., (collectively "GSCP"), and all other stockholders, other than certain management investors, were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive cash. Cash paid to consummate the acquisition totaled $530.0 million and was financed with initial borrowings (before deducting deferred financing costs of $13.1 million) consisting of a $205.0 million term loan under a new senior secured credit facility which includes a $50.0 million revolving loan facility, the proceeds from the issuance of $175.0 million of 8.75% senior subordinated notes due 2014, an equity contribution from the Principal Investors and employee stockholders of $140.5 million, borrowings under the revolver of $23.6 million and approximately $2.9 million of cash on hand. Certain existing employee shareholders participated in the Transactions (as defined hereafter) by purchasing 296.91 shares of common stock. The Chief Executive Officer and the President of the Company exchanged 5.4945 and 2.7472 of their shares of common stock of the Predecessor (as defined hereafter) for 100 and 50 shares of common stock of the Company with an equivalent value of $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer and the President of the Company exchanged vested options to purchase 5.607 and 2.804 shares of Predecessor common stock, which had intrinsic values of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for vested options to purchase 65.455 and 32.727 shares of Common Stock, respectively, under the Company's equity incentive plan with intrinsic values of $0.5 million and $0.2 million and fair values of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting which required that the Company adjust its assets and liabilities to their relative fair values. In order to reflect the ultimate beneficial ownership of the Company, the capital structure disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements is the capital structure of AAH Holdings. The purchase price has been allocated based upon the fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition. The final allocation was based on independent valuations that were completed during the second quarter of 2005. The purchase price was principally allocated to accounts receivable ($91.2 million), inventories ($81.6 million), property plant and equipment ($94.4 million), goodwill ($283.0 million), other intangible assets ($60.8 million), prepaid expenses and other current and non-current assets ($21.4 million), and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities ($102.3 million). Goodwill and trade names are not amortizable and the amortization of other intangible assets is not deductible for income tax purposes. Concurrent with the acquisition, the following financing transactions were also consummated: the repayment of a term loan of $147.7 million under our then existing senior secured credit facility and the termination of all commitments thereunder; the redemption of $87.2 million of the $110.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2007 for $93.5 million or 103.542% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest following our tender offer and consent solicitation; and repayment of a $8.5 million mortgage obligation with a financial institution (the acquisition together with the foregoing financing transactions are referred to herein collectively as the "Transactions"). As used herein, Predecessor refers to the Company prior to the Transactions. On May 31, 2004, the remaining outstanding 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2007 were redeemed pursuant to the redemption notice. The Company financed the redemption with borrowings under its new revolving credit facility. The new senior subordinated notes were sold to the initial purchasers on April 30, 2004, and were subsequently resold to qualified institutional buyers and non-U.S. persons in reliance upon Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Note Offering"). In connection with the Note Offering, the Company entered into a 26 Registration Rights Agreement, which granted holders of the new notes certain exchange and registration rights. In August 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-4 offering to exchange registered notes for the notes issued in connection with the Note Offering. The terms of the notes and the exchange notes are substantially identical. The exchange was completed in October 2004. In connection with the Transactions in April 2004, the Company recorded non-recurring expenses of $11.8 million comprised of $6.2 million of debt retirement costs and the write-off of $5.6 million of deferred financing costs associated with the repayment of debt in connection with the Transactions. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 The following table sets forth the statement of operations data for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

NET SALES. Net sales of $105.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 were $7.7 million or 7.9% higher than the net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, with approximately $3.0 million of such increase reflecting certain customers' requests for shipment of Christmas product during the third quarter of 2005, as compared to during the fourth quarter of 2004. In addition, sales for the third quarter of 2004 were adversely affected by a general softness in retail markets, the rationalization of inventories by certain national superstore chains and inventory shortages of certain products as a result of a production disruption at one of our foreign vendors. Domestic balloon and international sales were $1.4 million and $2.6 million higher than in the third quarter of 2004, respectively, and were partially offset by lower contract manufacturing sales. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2005 of 34.1% was 170 basis points higher than the gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2004 and reflects the impact of selling price increases instituted during the second half of 2005; increased leverage of fixed distribution costs and changes in product sales mix, net of higher raw material and freight costs. OPERATING EXPENSES. Selling expenses of $9.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 were $0.4 million or 4.8% higher than selling expenses for the third quarter of 2004, reflecting higher commissions and other variable selling expenses associated with the increase in sales volume, partially offset by lower fixed costs as we 27 leveraged a reduction in sales force compared to September 30, 2004. Selling expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 were 8.7% of sales, or 20 basis points lower than for the third quarter of 2004. General and administrative expenses of $7.6 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005 were comparable to the third quarter of 2004. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 7.2% for the third quarter of 2005, or 60 basis points lower than in 2004, due to the increase in sales volume during the third quarter of 2005. Art and development costs of $2.3 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005, were comparable to the costs for the third quarter of 2004, as higher personnel costs were offset by a lower design costs consistent with the reduction in the development of custom product lines. As a percentage of net sales, art and development costs were 2.2% for the third quarter of 2005 or 20 basis points lower than the third quarter of 2004. Provision for doubtful accounts for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $0.4 million as compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The provision for doubtful accounts reflects the aging of the Company's accounts receivable. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Interest expense of $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $0.8 million higher than for the three months ended September 30, 2004, due to the impact of higher average borrowings and variable interest rates UNDISTRIBUTED LOSS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE. Undistributed loss in unconsolidated joint venture represents our share of the loss from our Mexican balloon distribution joint venture, including the elimination of intercompany profit in the joint venture's inventory at September 30, 2005. INCOME TAXES. Income taxes for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004 were based upon estimated consolidated effective income tax rates of 37.0% and 39.5% for the years ending December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The reduction in the effective tax rate reflects the estimated benefit of the Domestic Production Activities deduction in 2005 as well as additional tax items required in 2004. In addition, during the second quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a $1.4 million reduction of its income tax expense and its net deferred income tax liability to reflect a change in its estimated state income tax rates. The tax rate change results from a change in New York State tax law governing the apportionment of income. 28 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 The following table sets forth the statement of operations data for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. In order to facilitate the comparison between the two periods, the results for the for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were obtained by combining the results for the Predecessor Company for the four months ended April 30, 2004 with the results for the Successor Company for the five months ended September 30, 2004. This presentation is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles but is presented to provide the ability to compare the results of operations in 2004 to the current year. PERCENTAGE OF NET SALES

NET SALES. Net sales of $307.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $12.6 million or 4.3% higher than the net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, principally due to higher sales to party superstores. Sales for the first nine months of 2004 were adversely affected by a general softness in retail markets, the rationalization of inventories by certain national superstore chains and inventory shortages on certain products as a result of a production disruption at one of our foreign vendors. The increase in sales also reflects a shift in the timing of shipments of certain customers' Christmas season product from the fourth to the third quarter of 2005 International sales were $5.1 million higher than in the first nine months of 2004 (including the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations) which was partially offset lower contract manufacturing sales. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit margin for the first nine months of 2005 was 33.2%, or 30 basis points higher than during the first nine months of 2004. The increase in gross profit margin principally reflects the impact of price increases instituted during the second half of 2005, the increased leverage of distribution costs and changes in product sales mix, partially offset by higher raw material and freight costs. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 also reflects the amortization of certain leasehold reserves established upon finalization of purchase accounting, including approximately $0.3 million of amortization related to the eight months ended December 31, 2004. OPERATING EXPENSES. Selling expenses of $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were comparable to selling expenses for the first nine months of 2004. As a percent of net sales, selling expenses were 8.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, or 30 basis points lower than in 2004, principally due to the higher level of sales to existing superstore customers and a reduction in sales force. 29 General and administrative expenses of $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $1.4 million higher than for the first nine months of 2004. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 8.0% for the first nine months of 2005, or 10 basis points higher than in 2004. The net increase in general and administrative expenses principally reflects higher professional fees and management fees to our Principal Investors, and higher depreciation and amortization expense (arising from changes in asset valuations and useful lives as a result of the Transactions). Art and development costs of $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $0.5 million lower than art and development costs for the first nine months of 2004, reflecting reduced development of custom product lines. As a percentage of net sales, art and development costs were 2.3% for the first nine months of 2005 or 20 basis points lower than the first nine months of 2004. In connection with the Transactions in April 2004, the Company recorded non-recurring expenses of $11.8 million comprised of $6.2 million of debt retirement costs and the write-off of $5.6 million of deferred financing costs associated with the repayment of debt in connection with the Transactions. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Interest expense of $23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $2.9 million higher than for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, due to the impact of higher average borrowings following the Transactions and increasing variable interest rates. UNDISTRIBUTED LOSS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE. Undistributed loss in unconsolidated joint venture represents our share of the loss from our Mexican balloon distribution joint venture, including the elimination of intercompany profit in the joint venture's inventory at September 30, 2005. INCOME TAXES. Income taxes for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004 were based upon estimated consolidated effective income tax rates of 37.0% and 39.5% for the years ending December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The reduction in the effective tax rate reflects the estimated benefit of the Domestic Production Activities deduction in 2005 as well as additional tax items required in 2004. In addition, during the second quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a $1.4 million reduction of its income tax expense and its net deferred income tax liability to reflect a change in its estimated state income tax rates. The tax rate change results from a change in New York State tax law governing the apportionment of income. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES CAPITAL STRUCTURE Our senior secured credit facility contains financial covenants and maintenance tests, including a minimum interest coverage test and a maximum total leverage test, and restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our ability to make capital expenditures or pay dividends. The senior secured credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of some of our subsidiaries, and by a pledge of all of our domestic subsidiaries' capital stock and a portion of our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries' capital stock. The Company's term loan provides for amortization (in quarterly installments) of 1.0% per annum through September 30, 2010, and will then amortize in equal quarterly payments through September 30, 2012. The term loan bears interest, at the option of the Company, at the index rate plus 1.75% per annum or at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum. At September 30, 2005, the term loan balance was $202.4 million, with a floating interest rate of 6.47%. To hedge the risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates, the Company entered into two interest rate swap transactions with a financial institution during 2004, for an initial aggregate notional amount of $17.4 million, increasing over three years to $62.6 million. 30 Revolving loans under the senior credit facility expire on April 30, 2010 and bear interest, at the option of the Company, at the index rate plus, based on performance, a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% per annum, or at LIBOR plus, based on performance, a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% per annum. At September 30, 2005, the Company had borrowings under the revolver totaling $6.1 million at a floating interest rate of 8.25%. Standby letters of credit totaling $8.0 million were outstanding and the Company had borrowing capacity of $35.9 million under the terms of the revolver at September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2005, we had a 400,000 Canadian dollar denominated revolving credit facility which bears interest at the Canadian prime rate plus 0.6% and expires in April 2006; a 1.0 million British Pound Sterling denominated revolving credit facility which bears interest at the U.K. base rate plus 1.75% and expires on May 31, 2006, and a $1.0 million revolving credit facility which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% and expires on December 31, 2005. No borrowings were outstanding under these revolving credit facilities at September 30, 2005. We expect to renew these revolving credit facilities upon expiration. Long-term borrowings at September 30, 2005 include a mortgage note with the New York State Job Development Authority of $8.1 million which requires monthly payments based on a 180-month amortization period with a balloon payment upon maturity in January 2010. The mortgage note bears interest at the rate of 4.86%, and is subject to review and adjustment semi-annually based on the New York State Job Development Authority's confidential internal protocols. The mortgage note is collateralized by a distribution facility located in Chester, New York. On April 30, 2004, in connection with the Transactions, a first lien mortgage note of $8.5 million was paid in full. The mortgage note bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%. However, we utilized an interest rate swap agreement to effectively fix the loan rate at 8.40% for the term of the loan. The related interest rate swap agreement was terminated on April 30, 2004 in connection with the Transactions at a cost of $0.7 million. In connection with the Transactions on April 30, 2004, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share equal to $182,000 in cash, together with accrued and unpaid dividends. Our senior subordinated notes, totaling $175 million, were sold to the initial purchasers by the Company in the Note Offering. In connection with the Note Offering, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, which granted holders of the new notes certain exchange and registration rights. In August 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-4 offering to exchange registered notes for the notes issued in connection with the Note Offering. The terms of the notes and the exchange notes are substantially identical. The exchange was completed in October 2004. The senior subordinated notes due 2014 bear interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. We have entered into various capital leases for machinery and equipment with implicit interest rates ranging from 7.70% to 8.80% which extend to 2008. The Company has several non-cancelable operating leases principally for office, distribution and manufacturing facilities, showrooms and warehouse equipment. These leases expire on various dates through 2017 and generally contain renewal options and require the Company to pay real estate taxes, utilities and related insurance costs. Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, was $8.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The minimum lease payments currently required under non-cancelable operating leases for the year ending December 31, 2005 approximate $11.5 million. In connection with the Transactions, we executed a management agreement with our Principal Investors, Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio. Pursuant to the management agreement, Berkshire Partners LLC and Weston Presidio will be paid annual management fees of $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Although the indenture governing the 8.75% senior subordinated notes will permit the payments under the management agreement, such payments will be restricted during an event of default under the notes and will be subordinated in right of payment to all obligations due with respect to the senior subordinated notes in the event of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding of Amscan. 31 We expect that cash generated from operating activities and availability under our senior secured credit facility will be our principal sources of liquidity. Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flow from operations and available cash and available borrowings under our senior secured credit facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under our senior secured credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to repay our indebtedness, including the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company's two outside directors purchased a total of 60.0 shares of its Common Stock for $0.6 million. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company purchased and retired 10.4 shares of redeemable Common Stock held by a former employee for $0.1 million. On September 27, 2005, the Company and AAH entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Party City Corporation, the Company's largest customer and a leading retailer of party goods with 249 company-owned and operated stores and 250 franchise locations throughout the U.S. During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2004, sales to Party City company-owned and operated stores and franchise locations each accounted for approximately 14% of the Company's net sales. For the fiscal year ended July 2, 2005, Party City reported revenues of approximately $500 million, and total chain-wide net sales of approximately $1.0 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Party City shareholders will receive total consideration of approximately $360 million. The acquisition, which is subject to receipt of debt financing, as well as approval by Party City's shareholders and other customary conditions, is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2005 or the first quarter of 2006. The Company plans to finance the acquisition through a combination of equity contributed by affiliates of Berkshire Partners and Weston Presidio, and debt financing provided, directly or through certain affiliates, by Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Banc of America Securities. Goldman Sachs and Banc of America directly or through certain affiliates, have signed a commitment letter containing customary conditions precedent for the bank financing required for the acquisition. Affiliates of each of Berkshire Partners and Weston Presidio have provided a commitment letter with respect to the equity financing, subject to certain customary conditions. The Company does not intend to redeem or seek consent for waiver or amendments for the 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes currently issued by one of its subsidiaries. Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, totaled $10.2 million and $19.1 million, respectively. Net cash flow provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, was $30.6 million and $29.9 million, respectively. Changes in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, resulted in the use of cash of $20.4 million and $10.7 million, respectively, with the increased use of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 reflecting the replenishment of general inventory levels following the disruption in supply from a foreign vendor which began in the second quarter of 2004, as well as higher raw material costs and levels of custom inventory. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net cash used in investing activities of $12.5 million, consisted principally of additional investments in distribution and manufacturing equipment, including flexographic printing plates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash used in investing activities of $538.0 million consisted of cash paid of $530.0 million to consummate the Transactions on April 30, 2004 and $8.2 million of additional investments in distribution and manufacturing equipment, partially offset by proceeds from the sales of equipment and available-for-sale securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net cash used in financing activities of $2.5 million included proceeds of $4.1 million from net short-term borrowings under the revolver, partially offset by scheduled payments of $2.1 million on the term loan and other long-term obligations. Additionally, the Company issued a total of 60.0 shares of its Common Stock to its two outside directors for $0.6 million and purchased 10.4 shares of redeemable Common Stock held by a former employee for $0.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash provided by financing activities of $489.1 million included proceeds totaling $378.6 million from short-term borrowings under the revolver and debt issued in connection with the Transactions, net of deferred financing costs of $12.7 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, also included capital contributions in connection with the merger and the repayment of a note receivable by an employee partially 32 offset by scheduled payments on the then existing term loan and other long-term obligations, a required prepayment of the then existing term loan of $20.2 million based on our excess cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003 and debt retirement costs totaling $6.2 million paid in connection with the Transactions. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is a party to certain claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe any of these proceedings will result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on its financial condition or future results of operations. CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "project" or "continue" or the negative thereof and similar words. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this quarterly report and in any public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual results may vary materially. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our inability to satisfy our debt obligations, the reduction of volume of purchases by one or more of our large customers, our inability to collect receivables from our customers, the termination of our licenses, our inability to identify and capitalize on changing design trends and customer preferences, changes in the competitive environment, increases in the costs of raw materials and the possible risks and uncertainties that have been noted in reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Our earnings are affected by changes in interest rates as a result of our variable rate indebtedness. However, we have utilized interest rate swap agreements to manage the market risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates. If market interest rates for our variable rate indebtedness averaged 2% more than the interest rate actually paid for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, our interest expense, after considering the effects of our interest rate swap agreements, would have increased, and income before income taxes and minority interest would have decreased, by $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. If market interest rates for our variable rate indebtedness averaged 2% more than the interest rate actually paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, our interest expense, after considering the effects of our interest rate swap agreements, would have increased, and income before income taxes and minority interest would have decreased, by $3.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively. These amounts are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowings and interest rate swap agreements. This analysis does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, management would likely take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that we would take and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure. Our earnings are also affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies, predominately in European countries, as a result of the sales of our products in foreign markets. Although we periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against the earnings effects of such fluctuations, we may not be able to hedge such risks completely or permanently. A uniform 10% strengthening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies in which our foreign sales are denominated would have resulted in a decrease in gross profit of $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. A uniform 10% strengthening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies in which our foreign sales are denominated would have resulted in a decrease in gross profit of $1.0 million and $1.4 million for the nine months 33 ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These calculations assume that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, which could change the U.S. dollar value of the resulting sales, changes in exchange rates may also affect the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales price as competitors' products become more or less attractive. Our sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in sales levels or local currency prices. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures performed by the Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
