These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Fund Information in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for the purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The Fund Information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Price Waterhouse LLP - ------------------------------------ Price Waterhouse LLP 5 NASHUA CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN FOR SPECIFIED HOURLY EMPLOYEES STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR PLAN BENEFITS (WITH FUND INFORMATION) DECEMBER 31, 1996

See accompanying notes to financial statements. -5- 9 NASHUA CORPORATION ------------------ SAVINGS PLAN FOR SPECIFIED HOURLY EMPLOYEES ------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - --------------------------------------------------- Basis of Accounting - ------------------- The financial statements of the Nashua Corporation Savings Plan for Specified Hourly Employees ("the Plan") are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Plan Establishment - ------------------ The Plan was established January 1, 1992 for hourly employees at Nashua Corporation's Santa Clara facility. Subsequently, the hourly employees of Nashua Corporation's Exeter facility were eligible to participate in the Plan. On May 25, 1994 Nashua Corporation's Santa Clara facility was sold and the Plan transferred $1,214,400 to a plan established by the buyer. Asset Maintenance - ----------------- Fidelity Management Trust Company is the Plan trustee ("the Trustee"). Assets of the Plan are invested, at the election of the participants, in up to twelve Fidelity Investments' mutual funds (Fidelity Magellan Fund, Fidelity Puritan Fund, Fidelity Equity-Income Fund, Fidelity Growth Company Fund, Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund, Fidelity Europe Fund, Fidelity Asset Manager Fund, Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund, Fidelity Contrafund, Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund, Fidelity Spartan U.S. Equity Index Portfolio, or Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market Fund), a Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund managed by the Trustee or the Nashua Common Stock Fund. The Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund, Fidelity Contrafund and Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Fund (changed to the Spartan U.S. Equity Index Fund in 1996) were new investment options in 1995. The Plan's assets are commingled with assets of the Nashua Corporation Employees' Savings Plan in a participant-directed master trust arrangement. The Plan's participation in the net assets of the master trust is recorded based on individual plan participants' account balances. Investment income and expenses for each investment option are allocated to the individual participant account balances based on the prorata beginning account balances less withdrawals and loans made to participants. Investment Valuation - -------------------- Common shares of Nashua Corporation ("the Company") held in the Plan are valued at closing sales prices supplied by a pricing service. The Plan's guaranteed investment contracts are valued at contract value which approximates fair value. Contract value represents contributions made under the contracts, plus interest earned, less funds used to pay withdrawals and expenses. The Plan's mutual fund and collective investment fund accounts are valued at the respective funds' closing net asset values. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Participant loans are valued at cost plus accrued interest which approximates fair value. Cost is determined on an average cost basis. Investment Income - ----------------- Income from investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis. -6- 10 Contributions - ------------- The Plan has certain established criteria for eligibility. All contributions are immediately 100% vested. 401(k) Plan contributions - Employees may make a basic contribution of up to 15% of their earnings to the Plan. The Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of up to 6% of the employees' contributed earnings. Employees can direct their contributions and the Company matching contribution into any of the investment funds available for their contributions. Employee's contributions into the Nashua Common Stock Fund are limited to 25% of their account balance. Withdrawals and Loans - --------------------- Plan participants may withdraw part or all of their account balances subject to certain restrictions stipulated by current Internal Revenue Service regulations. The Plan also provides for optional forms of withdrawal at the time of retirement. Plan participants may borrow against individual Plan balances subject to Plan and current Internal Revenue Service regulations. Interest on the loans is payable at 2% above the prime rate. Loans are payable within 5 years from the date of withdrawal unless the amount was withdrawn to purchase a primary residence, in which case the term of the loan is 20 years. At December 31, 1995, there was one loan outstanding totalling $2,996, which was paid off in full during 1996. Expenses - -------- Trustee administrative fees, audit and other expenses are paid directly by the Company and, accordingly, such items are not reflected in the financial statements of the Plan. Fees for participant loans are paid by the Plan and are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as administrative expenses. Use of Estimates - ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Federal Income Tax Status - ------------------------- The Company was advised by the U.S. Treasury Department on November 17, 1993 that the Plan is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code") and is exempt from federal income taxes. The Plan has since been amended, however, a new letter has not yet been requested. Management believes that the Plan, as amended, and its operations have been and continue to be in accordance with all applicable provisions of the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). NOTE 2 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN - ---------------------------------------- The following brief description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information. 1. GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees. It is subject to the provisions of ERISA. 2. TERMINATION - The Plan is administered by the Nashua Audit/Finance & Investment Committee, which is composed of officers of the Company. The Company anticipates and believes that the Plan will continue without interruption, but reserves the right to discontinue the Plan. In the event that such discontinuance results in the termination of the Plan, the Plan provides that net assets shall be allocated among the participants. -7- 11 NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS - -------------------- The Plan's investments, excluding the Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund, are summarized as follows:
December 31, --------------------- 1996 1995 ---- ---- Nashua Common Stock Fund $ 4,443 $ 9,168 Fidelity Puritan Fund -- 11,505 Fidelity Magellan Fund 12,838 29,307 Fidelity Contrafund 2,107 -- Fidelity Equity Income Fund 1,459 4,057 Fidelity Growth Company Fund 15,187 13,860 Fidelity Asset Manager Fund -- -- Fidelity Europe Fund 9 12 Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund 161 165 Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market Fund 1,000 1,026 ------- ------- $37,204 $69,100 ======= =======
NOTE 4 - GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACT FUND - -------------------------------------------- The Plan's investment in the Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund consists of the following:
December 31, ---------------------- 1996 1995 ---- ---- Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company 5.3% Due 3/30/99 - 6/30/99 $ 2,150 $ 3,809 State Mutual Life Assurance 5.48% Due 1/1/98 - 1/3/99 1,782 3,769 Life of Virginia 8.32% Due 3/31/97 3,000 4,031 Lincoln National Life Insurance Company 6.28% Due 12/31/96 2,565 5,860 People's Security Life 5.52% Due 2/28/00 1,565 5,862 People's Security Life 5.41% Due 2/28/00 1,146 2,114 Confederation Life Insurance Company 8.77% Due 1/3/95 7,118 7,812 Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II 30,488 40,962 Cash 773 2,130 ------- ------- $50,587 $76,349 ======= =======
The average yields of the Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund for the periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were 4.8% and 4.9%, respectively. Crediting interest rates remained the same, as noted above, for both 1996 and 1995. The issuing institution's ability to meet its contractual obligation under the respective contracts may be affected by future economic and regulatory developments in the insurance industry. On August 12, 1994 Canadian regulators seized control of Confederation Life Insurance Company. As a result, the Plan's investment in that carrier's contract was frozen until regulators finalized a rehabilitation plan. Interest accrual ceased on August 12, 1994. The trustee, under the Plan of Rehabilitation, has recently completed a series of payments to all plan contract holders. Account balances as of the date of seizure remained intact and a small interest payment (approximately 7%) was credited to participants accounts as well. Payments made subsequent to year end were $2,740,944 on April 25, 1997 and $349,052 on May 24, 1997. -8- 12 NOTE 5 - SAVINGS PLANS MASTER TRUST - ----------------------------------- The assets of the Plan have been commingled with assets of another Company savings plan in the Nashua Corporation Savings Plans Master Trust ("the Master Trust"). The Plan administrator adjusted the financial data as confirmed on a cash basis by the Trustee to the accrual basis on which the information shown below is prepared. The effect of converting to the accrual basis was to record accrued employer and employee contributions receivable. The Plan owned approximately 0.1% and 0.2% of the Master Trust as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
