NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (dollars in thousands, except share information) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Arcade Holding Corporation (the "Predecessor") was organized for the purpose of acquiring all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Arcade, Inc. ("Arcade") on November 4, 1993. Arcade is principally engaged in interactive advertising for consumer products companies and has a specialty in the design, production and distribution of sampling systems from its Chattanooga, Tennessee facilities, and also distributes its products in Europe through its French subsidiary, Arcade Europe S.A.R.L. DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P. and certain related investors (collectively, "DLJMBII") and certain members of the Predecessor organized AHC I Acquisition Corp. ("AHC") and AHC I Merger Corp. ("Merger Corp.") for purposes of acquiring the Predecessor. On December 15, 1997, Merger Corp. acquired all of the equity interests of the Predecessor and then merged with and into the Predecessor and the combined entity assumed the name of AKI, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("AKI"). Subsequent to the acquisition, AHC contributed $1 and all of its ownership interest in AKI to AKI Holding Corp. ("Holding") for all of the outstanding equity of Holding. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The interim consolidated condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2000 and the interim consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the interim consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and the interim consolidated condensed statement of changes in stockholder's equity for the three months ended September 30, 2000 are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosure related thereto, normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been omitted.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements were prepared following the same policies and procedures used in preparation of the audited financial statements and all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim consolidated condensed financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. 2.

PROMISSORY NOTE TO STOCKHOLDER AND AFFILIATE In May 2000, the Company signed a promissory note payable to AHC which allows the Company to borrow up to $10 million at such interest rates and due as agreed upon by the Company and AHC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (dollars in thousands, except share information) 4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Effective July 1, 2000, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"), as amended, which requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The cumulative effect of adopting FAS 133 as of July 1, 2000 was not material to the Company's financial statements. The Company purchases and sells it products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in certain foreign currency exchange rates. The primary purpose of the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the short-term volatility associated with foreign currency purchases and sales in the normal course of business. The Company primarily utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts with maturities of less than six months. The Company enters into certain foreign currency derivative instruments which do not meet hedge accounting criteria. These primarily are intended to protect against exposure related to purchases and sales in certain foreign countries. The fair value of these instruments at September 30, 2000 was not material and the net impact of the related gains and losses were not material. 5. CONDENSED HOLDING COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following condensed balance sheets at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000 and condensed statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 for Holding have been prepared on the equity basis of accounting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements and notes thereto.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (dollars in thousands, except share information) 4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Effective July 1, 2000, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"), as amended, which requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The cumulative effect of adopting FAS 133 as of July 1, 2000 was not material to the Company's financial statements. The Company purchases and sells it products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in certain foreign currency exchange rates. The primary purpose of the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the short-term volatility associated with foreign currency purchases and sales in the normal course of business. The Company primarily utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts with maturities of less than six months. The Company enters into certain foreign currency derivative instruments which do not meet hedge accounting criteria. These primarily are intended to protect against exposure related to purchases and sales in certain foreign countries. The fair value of these instruments at September 30, 2000 was not material and the net impact of the related gains and losses were not material. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Item 2 is presented with respect to both AKI Holding Corp. and AKI, Inc. As used within Item 2 the term "Company" refers to AKI Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries including AKI, Inc. ("AKI") and the term "Holding" refers to AKI Holding Corp. and the term "RHL" refers to Retcom Holdings Ltd. and subsidiaries. GENERAL The sales of our company are derived through its multi-sensory marketing activities primarily from the sale of sampling systems and products to fragrance, cosmetics and consumer products companies, and also from creative services. Substantially all of our company's sales are made directly to its customers while a small portion are made through advertising agencies. Each customer's sampling program is unique and pricing is negotiated based on estimated costs plus a margin. While our company and its customers generally do not enter into long-term contracts, our company has had long-standing relationships with the majority of its customer base. RETCOM HOLDINGS LTD. ACQUISITION On September 15, 1999, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of RHL at a purchase price of approximately $12 million and refinanced RHL's working capital indebtedness of approximately $5 million. The purchase price and refinancing of indebtedness were financed by borrowings under the credit agreement. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 NET SALES. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000, increased $3.2 million, or 11.3%, to $31.6 million, as compared to $28.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in volume of domestic and international sales of sampling technologies to existing customers for advertising and marketing of fragrances. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2000, increased $0.2 million, or 1.6%, to $12.8 million, as compared to $12.6 million for three months ended September 30, 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 40.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2000, from 44.4% in the three months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to competitive pricing pressures, increased raw material costs, additional premium labor costs and increased overhead costs. The increase in raw material costs was primarily due to an increase in paper commodity prices, which management expects will remain at current levels for the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000, increased $0.3 million, or 7.1% to $4.5 million, as compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in staffing levels and compensation and additional expenses associated with the operation of RHL. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales decreased to 14.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2000, from 14.8% in the three months ended September 30, 1999. INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased $0.4 million, or 5.5%, to $6.9 million, as compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales decreased to 21.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2000, from 25.7% in the three months ended September 30, 1999, principally as a result of the factors described above. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $4.4 million. Interest expense as a percentage of net sales decreased to 13.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2000, from 15.5% in the three months ended September 30, 1999. Increased interest expense due to the use of the credit line and promissory note to stockholder and affiliate for working capital and the RHL acquisition was offset by a decrease in interest expense related to the repurchased and retired Senior Discount Debentures and Senior Notes. Interest expense for AKI for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $0.1 million, or 3.0% to $3.4 million, as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Interest expense as a percentage of net sales decreased to 10.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2000, from 11.6% in the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in interest expense, including the amortization of deferred financing costs, is primarily due to use of the credit line and promissory note to affiliate for working capital and the RHL acquisition offset partially by the decrease in interest expense related to the repurchased and retired Senior Notes. INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $1.5 million. The Company's effective tax rate, after consideration of non-deductible goodwill amortization, was 40.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2000, and 40.7% in the three months ended September 30, 1999. Income tax expense for AKI for the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased $0.1 million to $1.8 million. AKI's effective tax rate, after consideration of non-deductible goodwill amortization, was 39% in the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. EBITDA. EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2000, decreased $0.1 million, or 1.1%, to $9.4 million, as compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease principally reflects the decrease in income from operations discussed above. EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 29.8% and 33.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. EBITDA is income from operations plus depreciation and amortization of goodwill and other intangibles. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our company has substantial indebtedness and significant debt service obligations. As of September 30, 2000, our company had consolidated indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $152.2 million (excluding trade payables, accrued liabilities, deferred taxes and other non-current liabilities), of which (1) approximately $28.8 million was a direct obligation of Holding relating to its debentures and (2) approximately $123.4 million was a direct obligation of AKI relating to its notes, revolving credit line, promissory note to affiliate and capital leases. Borrowings at September 30, 2000 included $10.0 million under the revolving credit agreement and $4.7 million on the promissory note to affiliate that were incurred to finance the acquisition of RHL and provide working capital. At September 30, 2000 our company had available $9.4 million under the revolving credit agreement. At September 30, 2000, AKI also had $21.4 million in additional outstanding liabilities (including trade payables, accrued liabilities, deferred taxes and other non-current liabilities) and letters of credit outstanding under the credit agreement in the amount of $0.6 million. In May 2000, AKI signed a promissory note payable to AHC I Acquisition Corp. ("AHC"), the sole stockholder of Holding, which allows AKI to borrow up to $10 million at such interest rates and due as agreed upon by AKI and AHC. In July 2000, AKI borrowed $4.7 million under the promissory note at prime and is due December 31, 2002. Proceeds from the promissory note were used to fund working capital requirements. AKI does not currently anticipate borrowings under the promissory note will exceed this amount. Holding's principal liquidity requirements are for debt service requirements under the debentures. AKI's principal liquidity requirements are for debt service requirements and fees under the notes and the credit agreement. Historically, our company has funded its capital, debt service and operating requirements with a combination of net cash provided by operating activities together with borrowings under revolving credit facilities. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, cash totaling $5.2 million was used by operating activities primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable and inventory and a decrease in accrued interest and accrued compensation, offset partially by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 1999, cash totaling $4.4 million was used by operating activities primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accrued interest, offset partially by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses. In the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, our company had capital expenditures of approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These capital expenditures consisted primarily of the purchase of manufacturing equipment, furniture and fixtures and upgrading its computer systems. On September 15, 1999, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of RHL at a purchase price of approximately $12.2 million and refinanced RHL's working capital indebtedness of approximately $5 million. The purchase price and refinancing of indebtedness were financed by borrowings under the credit agreement, a portion of which was subsequently repaid with cash flows from operating activities. Our company may from time to time evaluate additional potential acquisitions. There can be no assurance that additional capital sources will be available to our company to fund additional acquisitions on terms that our company finds acceptable, or at all. In September 1999, AHC consummated a private placement to DLJMBII of 15,000,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. As of October 31, 2000, AHC had purchased $11.8 million of Holding Corp. Senior Discount Debentures and $7.5 million of AKI, Inc., Senior Notes. The debentures and notes were contributed to Holding Corp. and subsequently retired. Capital expenditures for the twelve months ending June 30, 2001 are currently estimated to be approximately $3.5 million. Based on borrowings outstanding (other than pursuant to the credit agreement and promissory note to stockholder and affiliate) as of September 30, 2000 and borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement and promissory note to stockholder and affiliate as of October 31, 2000, our company expects total cash payments for debt service for the twelve months ending June 30, 2001 to be approximately $13.2 million, consisting of $11.3 million in interest payments on the notes, $0.9 million in capital lease obligations, $1.0 million in interest and fees under the credit agreement and $0.5 million in interest on the promissory note to stockholder and affiliate. Our company also expects to make royalty payments of approximately $1.1 million during the twelve months ending June 30, 2001. At September 30, 2000, Holding's cash and cash equivalents and net working capital were $0.8 million and $22.7 million, respectively, representing a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $0.4 million and an increase in net working capital of $8.9 million from June 30, 2000. Account receivables, net, at September 30, 2000 increased 32.6% or $7.0 million over the June 30, 2000 amount, primarily due to increased sales. Inventory increased as a result of increased work-in-process related to production activities. SEASONALITY Our company's sales and operating results have historically reflected seasonal variations. Such seasonal variations are based on the timing of our company's customers' advertising campaigns, which have traditionally been concentrated prior to the Christmas and spring holiday seasons. As a result, a higher level of sales are reflected in our company's first and third fiscal quarters ended September 30 and March 31 when sales from such advertising campaigns are principally recognized while our company's fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30 typically reflects the lowest sales level of the fiscal year. These seasonal fluctuations require our company to accurately allocate its resources to manage our company's manufacturing capacity, which often operates at full capacity during peak seasonal demand periods. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), which provides the Staff's views on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition issues. SAB 101, as amended by SAB 101A and SAB 101B, outlines the criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. The Company must implement any applicable provisions of SAB 101 no later than the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SAB 101 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and will continue to analyze the impact of SAB 101. In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs" ("Issue 00-10"). Issue 00-10 requires that all amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling should be classified as revenues. Issue 00-10 will be effective for the Company no later than the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. The Company is currently assessing the effect, if any, on its financial statements of implementing Issue 00-10.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. Our company generates approximately 20% of its sales from customers outside the United States, principally in Europe. International sales are made mostly from our company's foreign subsidiary located in France and are primarily denominated in the local currency. Our company's foreign subsidiary also incurs the majority of its expenses in the local currency and uses the local currency as its functional currency. Our company's major principal cash balances are held in U.S. dollars. Cash balances in foreign currencies are held to minimum balances for working capital purposes and therefore have a minimum risk to currency fluctuations. Our company periodically enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge certain exposures related to selected transactions that are relatively certain as to both timing and amount and to hedge a portion of the production costs expected to be denominated in foreign currencies. The purpose of entering into these hedge transactions is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the results of operations and cash flows. Gains and losses on the hedging activities are recognized concurrently with the gains and losses from the underlying transactions. At September 30, 2000, there were no forward exchange contracts outstanding. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
