PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS THE COMPANY Unless the context otherwise requires, in this report, references to "the Company" and "Mail-Well" as well as "we," "us," and "our," mean collectively Mail-Well, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In Item 1 of this report, all information excludes Curtis 1000 Inc., which was divested on February 22, 2002. We are one of the largest printers in North America competing primarily in the commercial printing and envelope market segments. We believe we are the world's largest manufacturer of envelopes, the leading printer of envelopes in the U.S. and Canada, the premier high impact color printer in the U.S., and a leading general commercial printer in several major U.S. markets. We operate 103 printing and manufacturing facilities throughout North America and three in the United Kingdom. The combination of our broad network of facilities and our sales force, which is among the largest in the industry, has enabled us to build our customer base to over 20,000 in our commercial printing and envelope businesses. COMMERCIAL PRINTING Our commercial printing business generated $818 million of sales for the year ended December 31, 2001. We serve two primary commercial printing markets: (i) high impact color printing, in which we print a wide range of longer run premium products for national and regional accounts; and (ii) general commercial printing, in which we print a wide array of products and offer printing services to local commercial customers. Our commercial printing business operates 29 plants throughout the U.S. and one in Canada. ENVELOPE Our envelope business generated $836 million of sales for the year ended December 31, 2001. We serve two primary markets: (i) customized envelopes and packaging products, including Tyvek(R) mailers used by the U.S. Postal Service, sold directly to end users or to independent distributors who sell to end users; and (ii) envelopes and other products sold to wholesalers, paper merchants, printers, brokerage firms, office product establishments and superstores. We manufacture envelopes in 34 U.S. plants and 13 Canadian plants. 2001 STRATEGIC PLAN In May 2001, we completed a comprehensive review of our operations and adopted a new strategy that focuses on our two core businesses - commercial printing and envelopes. In support of this strategy, we have announced our intention and are in the process of seeking to divest our label and printed office products businesses and certain other non-core assets. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2001 we began reporting the label and printed office products segments as discontinued operations, began reporting the other non-core assets as assets held for sale, and recorded the losses anticipated on the dispositions of these operations. In February 2002, we sold Curtis 1000 Inc., a printed office products company, for approximately $40 million, including the assumption of debt. We have not entered into any definitive agreements to sell any of the other companies we plan to divest or our other non-core assets. We intend to use proceeds from any divestitures to reduce our debt. In conjunction with our new strategic plan, we also announced plans to consolidate three of our commercial printing plants into one facility and to close nine of our envelope plants and redeploy the equipment and other assets at other facilities. We have completed five of these plant consolidations, and plan to complete the remainder by the end of 2002. Our new strategy also includes the launch of several initiatives to significantly improve operations and marketing effectiveness. Both the commercial printing and envelope businesses have programs in place to institute best practices, install pricing disciplines and align equipment and services to better serve our customers and markets. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS-LABEL AND PRINTED OFFICE PRODUCTS In addition to our two primary businesses, we also operate a label business and a printed office products business. We are seeking to sell these businesses and therefore account for them as discontinued operations. Our label business generated $219 million of sales for the year ended December 31, 2001. Our label business is the second largest supplier in the North American label printing market. 1 Our label business has 14 plants in North America and three in the United Kingdom. Our printed office products, excluding Curtis 1000, business generated $215 million of sales for the year ended December 31, 2001. We believe we are the largest manufacturer of printed office products sold through distributors. The printed office products business prints a diverse line of custom products for small and medium-sized businesses including both traditional and specialty forms for use with desktop computers and laser printers. Our printed office products business has 12 manufacturing facilities located throughout the U.S. THE PRINTING AND ENVELOPE INDUSTRIES The printing industry is one of the largest and most fragmented industries in the United States with total estimated 2000 sales of $163 billion among an estimated 47,667 printing businesses, according to the Printing Industry of America, Inc. The printing industry includes general commercial printing, financial printing, printing and publishing of books, labels, newspapers and periodicals, quick printing and production of business forms and greeting cards. The envelope industry is not as highly fragmented as the printing industry. Envelope printing and manufacturing combined constitutes a $4.3 billion market in North America according to the Envelope Manufacturers' Association. Products in the envelope industry include customized envelopes for direct mail, transactional envelopes, non-custom envelopes for resale, and specialty envelopes and files. OUR PRODUCTS Commercial Printing. We serve two primary commercial printing markets: (i) high impact color printing, in which we print a wide range of longer run premium products for national and regional accounts; and (ii) general commercial printing, in which we print a wide array of products and offer printing services to local commercial customers. Our printing products include advertising literature, corporate identity materials, annual reports, car brochures, calendars, greeting cards, brand marketing materials, catalogs, maps, CD packaging and direct mail. Envelope. We serve two primary markets: (i) customized envelopes and packaging products, including Tyvek(R) mailers used by the U.S. Postal Service, sold directly to end users or to independent distributors who sell to end users; and (ii) envelopes and other products sold to wholesalers, paper merchants, printers, brokerage firms, office product establishments and superstores. In the customized envelope market, we offer printed customized conventional envelopes for billing and remittance, filing systems, direct mail marketers, photo processing, medical records, catalog orders and other end-users, such as banks, brokerage firms and credit card companies. In the wholesale envelope market, we manufacture and print a broad line of custom envelopes that are featured in national catalogs for the office products market or offered through office products retailers, including contract stationers. OUR SERVICES We offer our customers a wide variety of related services to enhance the value of our printed products, such as: Prepress. The traditional design phase typically requires us to incorporate customer-submitted graphics, photograph the artwork, develop the file and prepare a plate from which to print. Electronic Prepress. We offer a fully automated electronic process that allows the customer to submit its artwork and other data in digital format, either on a diskette, high speed transmission line or in hard copy that can be computer-scanned. We can then manipulate the image, prepare color separations and edit the design on a computer to create the file from which the printing plate is made. Electronic prepress greatly reduces the time and the number of people involved in the production of plates, and we believe that we are an industry leader in fully automated electronic prepress operations. Direct-to-Plate Technology. We offer digital direct-to-plate technology, which eliminates the production of film and several manual functions in the platemaking process. This technology offers a complete digital workflow, providing a better printed product and faster turnaround without additional cost. Mail-Well 1-2-1. We offer on-demand digital printing services using variable imaging and other features to produce personalized marketing material, direct mail and other forms of targeted customer communications. 2 Digital Archiving. We allow customers to store digitally rendered artwork on our file servers. The artwork can then be accessed and retrieved either at the plant during the prepress stage or from a remote site via high speed transmission during the design stage. Delivery Systems. We offer a flexible "just-in-time" delivery program. This program allows customers to receive their products just prior to when they are needed. Warehousing Services. A customer will often place an order for significantly more product than it may need at the time. When this occurs, we offer to store the finished product and drop-ship them on an "as-needed" basis. Inventory Management Systems. We offer this service primarily to large national organizations with centralized purchasing and supply departments that service multiple locations. We facilitate order processing by giving customers information on usage by item and/or available supply in our warehouses and provide for summary billing. E-commerce. We have the capability to offer our customers a full range of e-commerce services to order printing or other products through their web page. Printmailwell.com. We offer a full range of robust Internet-based print procurement and print management solutions via our Printmailwell.com e-commerce platform, powered by PrintCafe. Our goal is to offer the highest standards in meeting our customers' needs with our primary focus on responding quickly and competitively to customer demands and requirements. Many of our production facilities are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to allow for timely production of materials. At certain facilities we also offer a number of unique services to our customers such as complimentary transportation between the airport and our offices, in-plant overnight accommodations, on-site meeting rooms and lounge, travel and hotel arrangements and computers for use by the customers when on-site. We believe that the consolidation of the printing industry is being driven in part by the rapid pace of technological change. Recent advances in computer-based prepress equipment, such as electronic prepress, allow for faster and more precise manipulation of images and text prior to printing. Similarly, recent advances in photo imaging technology have greatly increased the quality of the final image produced in the printing process. These advances have increased the capital requirements for maintaining technologically advanced equipment. We believe that many smaller local and regional commercial printers will find it increasingly difficult to obtain adequate financial resources to remain competitive in the segments of the commercial printing market in which we operate. MARKETING, DISTRIBUTION AND CUSTOMERS As a result of the wide array of applications, customer preferences and order sizes, our marketing efforts vary significantly among markets and by region. Although our marketing efforts traditionally have been local or regional, we continue to emphasize a more focused national accounts program to attract customers whose needs are national or cover multiple regions. We now have a national marketing director and a print marketing campaign. We maintain one of the largest sales staffs in the industry, with over 740 sales representatives in the commercial printing and envelope businesses, as of December 31, 2001. The vast majority of our printed products are sold through sales representatives, the exception being occasional "house" or company accounts. Our sales representatives work closely with customers from the initial concept through prepress, proofing and finally the press run. Because our sales representatives are our primary contacts with our customers, our goal is to attract, train and retain an experienced, qualified sales force in each of our businesses. Sales representatives typically are compensated by commission. Commissions generally depend on such factors as order size and type, prepress work, reruns or rework and overall profitability of the job. We also coordinate sales efforts among regions within our operating businesses, and among the operating businesses themselves, in order to compete for national account business, enhance the internal dissemination of successful new product ideas, efficiently allocate our production equipment, share technical expertise and increase company-wide selling of specialty products manufactured at selected facilities. 3 In commercial printing our marketing efforts differ between two broad product areas: high impact color products, such as auto brochures, annual reports and high-end catalogs, and general commercial work. We market high impact printing primarily on a regional basis, through sales representatives working out of sales offices across the United States. Because of the highly fragmented nature of the general commercial printing and envelope businesses, and the wide array of customer needs and preferences, we market most of our general commercial printing and envelopes locally. Due to the project-oriented nature of these market segments, sales to particular customers may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the number and size of their projects. Our customer supply agreements are typically on an order by order basis or for a specified period of time. The sales force is supported by a technical service team that provides customers with highly customized printing solutions. Most of our printing facilities have customer service representatives that work with the sales team and the customers to manage orders efficiently and effectively. In some cases, the customer service representatives have direct responsibility for accounts. In 2001, we implemented our innovative "Go-to" marketing program as part of our strategic plan. This program utilizes a team approach to customer service relationships that we believe is unique in the printing industry. Our customer base totals more than 20,000. Our customers in the high impact commercial printing market include Fortune 500 companies, graphic designers in the commercial printing and envelope businesses and advertising agencies. Our customers in the general commercial printing and envelope businesses include national and local businesses, insurance and finance companies, the U.S. Postal Service and other government agencies and not-for-profit organizations. None of our customers accounted for more than 2% of revenue in 2001. PRINTING AND MANUFACTURING Our commercial printing business operates 29 printing facilities throughout the U.S., and one in Canada. These plants combine advanced prepress technology with high-quality web and sheet-fed color presses and extensive binding and finishing operations. Many of our commercial printing facilities operate seven days a week, 24 hours a day to meet customer printing requirements. Our envelope business operates 47 printing facilities throughout North America. Envelopes are produced from either flat sheets or rolls of paper. The paper is folded into an envelope, which is glued at the seams and on the flap, and then printed as required. Webs are typically used for larger runs with multiple colors and numerous features, and die cut machines, which require a preliminary step to provide die cut envelope blanks from paper sheets, are used primarily for smaller orders typically including customized value-added features. The manufacturing process used is dependent upon the size of a particular order, custom features required, machine availability and delivery requirements. MATERIALS AND SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS The primary materials used in each of our businesses are paper, ink, film, offset plates, chemicals and cartons, with paper accounting for the majority of total material costs. We purchase these materials from a number of suppliers and have not experienced any significant difficulties in obtaining the raw materials necessary for our operations. We have implemented an inventory management system in which a limited number of paper suppliers supply all of our paper needs. These suppliers are responsible for delivering paper on a "just-in-time" basis directly to our facilities. We believe that this system has allowed us to enhance the flexibility and speed with which we can serve customers, improve pricing on paper purchases, eliminate a significant amount of paper inventory and reduce costs by reducing warehousing capacity. We believe that we purchase our materials and supplies at very competitive prices due to our volume leverage. PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND BRAND NAMES We market products under a number of trademarks and brand names. We also hold or have rights to use various patents relating to our envelope business, which expire at various times through 2012. Our sales do not materially depend upon any single or group of related patents. 4 COMPETITION The commercial printing industry is highly competitive and fragmented. We compete against a number of large, diversified and financially stronger printing companies, as well as regional and local commercial printers, many of which are capable of competing with us in both volume and production quality. Although we believe customers are price sensitive, we also believe that customer service and high quality products are important competitive factors. We believe we provide premium quality and customer service while maintaining competitive prices through stringent cost control efforts. The main competitive factors in our markets are customer service, product quality, reliability, flexibility, technical capabilities and price. We believe we compete effectively in each of these areas. In envelope printing, we compete with a few multi-plant and many single-plant companies that primarily service regional and local markets. We also face competition from alternative sources of communication and information transfer such as facsimile machines, electronic mail, the Internet, interactive video disks, interactive television and electronic retailing. Although these sources of communication and advertising may eliminate some domestic envelope sales in the future, we believe that we will experience continued demand for envelope products due to (i) the ability of our customers to obtain a relatively low-cost information delivery vehicle that may be customized with text, color, graphics and action devices to achieve the desired presentation effect, (ii) the ability of our direct mail customers to penetrate desired markets as a result of the widespread delivery of mail to residences and businesses through the U.S. Postal Service and the Canadian Post Corporation and (iii) the ability of our direct mail customers to include return materials in their mail-outs. Principal competitive factors in the envelope business are quality, service and price. Although all three are equally important, various customers may emphasize one or more over the others. We believe we compete effectively in each of these areas. EMPLOYEES We employed approximately 13,150 people as of December 31, 2001, a reduction of approximately 1,600 employees from December 31, 2000. Approximately 2,315 people we employ at the various facilities are represented by unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO or Affiliated National Federation of Independent Unions. These employees are governed by collective bargaining agreements, each of which covers the workers at a particular facility, expires from time to time and is negotiated separately. Accordingly, we believe that no single collective bargaining agreement is material to our operations as a whole. ENVIRONMENTAL Our operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations including those relating to air emissions, waste generation, handling, management and disposal, and remediation of contaminated sites. We have implemented environmental programs designed to ensure that we operate in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations governing environmental protection. Our policy is that management at all levels be aware of the environmental impact of operations and direct such operations in compliance with applicable standards. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations relating to environmental protection. We do not anticipate that material capital expenditures will be required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental laws and regulations. However, there can be no assurance that newly discovered conditions or new or stricter interpretations of existing laws and regulations will not result in material expenses. 5 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES At December 31, 2001, the Company operated 110 printing and manufacturing facilities in North America and the United Kingdom. Mail-Well owns 50 facilities and leases 92 facilities for printing, administration and warehouse space. The Company also leases approximately 44,000 square feet of office space for its corporate and operating segment headquarters in Englewood, Colorado. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time we may be involved in claims or lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of business. Accruals for claims or lawsuits have been provided for to the extent that losses are deemed probable and estimable. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims or lawsuits cannot be ascertained, on the basis of present information and advice received from counsel, it is our opinion that the disposition or ultimate determination of such claims or lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. In the case of administrative proceedings related to environmental matters involving governmental authorities, management does not believe that any imposition of monetary damages or fines would be material. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. 6 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDERS MATTERS The Company's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "MWL." At February 21, 2002, there were approximately 456 shareholders of record and, as of that date, the Company estimates that there were more than 15,000 beneficial owners holding stock in nominee or "street" name. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the range of the high and low sales prices for the Company's common stock as reported by the NYSE.
2000 HIGH LOW First Quarter $12.88 $6.94 Second Quarter 9.63 7.50 Third Quarter 9.44 4.75 Fourth Quarter 5.06 3.86 2001 HIGH LOW First Quarter $7.30 $4.50 Second Quarter 6.22 4.25 Third Quarter 5.30 3.70 Fourth Quarter 4.50 3.67
The Company has not paid a dividend on common stock since its incorporation and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future because our senior secured credit facility and senior subordinated notes limit the Company's ability to pay common stock dividends. 7 ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The summary of historical financial data presented below is derived from the historical audited financial statements of the Company. The financial data presented reflect the restatement of all historical data for discontinued operations.

8 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CORPORATE OVERVIEW We are one of the largest printers in North America competing primarily in the commercial printing and envelope market segments. We believe we are the world's largest manufacturer of envelopes, the leading printer of envelopes in the United States and Canada, the premier high impact color printer in the United States, and a leading general commercial printer in several major U.S. markets. We operate 77 facilities throughout North America in our commercial printing and envelope businesses. The combination of our broad printing facility network and our sales force, which is among the largest in the industry, has enabled us to build our primary customer base to over 20,000 customers. In May 2001, we completed a comprehensive review of our operations and adopted a new strategy that focuses on our two primary businesses - commercial printing and envelope. In support of this strategy, we have announced our intention and are in the process of seeking to divest our label and printed office products businesses and certain other non-strategic assets. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2001, we began reporting the label and printed office products businesses as discontinued operations, began reporting the other non-strategic assets as assets held for sale, and recorded a loss of $75.9 million anticipated on these dispositions. As a result of a deterioration in the market after September 11, we recorded an additional charge of $45.1 million in the fourth quarter. In February 2002, we sold Curtis 1000 Inc., a printed office products company, for approximately $40 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the divestitures to reduce our senior secured debt. In connection with our new strategic plan, we also announced plans to consolidate three of our commercial printing plants into one facility, to close nine of our envelope plants and to redeploy the equipment and assets at other facilities. We have completed the plant consolidations in commercial printing and three of the closures in envelope, and plan to complete the remaining consolidations by the end of 2002. Our new strategy includes the launch of several initiatives to significantly improve operations and marketing effectiveness. Both the envelope and commercial printing businesses have programs in place to institute best practices, install pricing disciplines and align equipment and services to better serve our customers and markets. We believe these initiatives will significantly improve the performance of our businesses. Paper is our most significant raw material. We purchased approximately 437,000 tons of paper in 2001 for our envelope and commercial printing businesses. Prices of uncoated papers, which are the principal grades of paper used to manufacture envelopes, decreased 10% in 2001 after an increase of approximately 5% at the end of 1999. Prices of coated papers, which are used principally in commercial printing, increased approximately 3% in 2000 but decreased approximately 8% in 2001. Changes in paper pricing generally do not affect the operating results of our commercial printing business because we can pass on paper price increases to our customers. Paper pricing does, however, impact the operating margins of our envelope business. When paper prices are rising, operating margins on our envelope products tend to be lower because we generally are not able to increase our prices as quickly as paper prices increase. Thus, when uncoated paper prices increased at the end of 1999, operating margins of the envelope business were negatively impacted in 2000. We expect uncoated and coated paper pricing to be stable in 2002. Our significant growth has been primarily due to our acquisition strategy. However, we curtailed our acquisitions in 2001 in order to concentrate on implementing our strategic plan. In 2000, we acquired American Business Products, Inc. and four smaller companies. In 1999, we acquired eight companies. The acquisitions completed in 2000 and 1999 were accounted for as purchase transactions. Recording acquisitions in this manner impacts comparability of our financial statements because the results of each of the acquired companies are included in the consolidated results from the dates acquired. The impacts of our acquisitions are included in the following discussions of our results. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The financial statements for all periods presented have been restated as required by generally accepted accounting principles to report the results of our label and printed office products businesses as discontinued operations. The 9 summary financial data set forth in the tables that follow present reported amounts as well as comparable financial data for New Mail-Well. When we refer to "New Mail-Well," we are referring to results of the operations that will constitute Mail-Well subsequent to the planned divestitures of the operations reported as discontinued operations and assets held for sale and that exclude restructuring, asset impairments and other charges reported in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. The economic downturn in 2001 adversely affected the sales and margins of both of our primary businesses, especially the portion of our commercial printing business related to print advertising. The reduced sales and margins have resulted in corresponding decreases in operating income and net income mitigated in part by reductions in operating expenses and interest expense. SALES
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 % CHANGE (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reported $1,653,471 $1,823,583 $1,533,840 (9)% 19% New Mail-Well* $1,563,749 $1,719,393 $1,436,068 (9)% 20% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Excludes sales of certain operations of our envelope and commercial printing businesses held for sale. New Mail-Well's sales include sales to Curtis 1000 Inc. and other operations being divested, which sales are anticipated to continue subsequent to the dispositions of these operations.
New Mail-Well's sales were down $155.6 million, or 9%, in 2001. Excluding the impact of acquisitions completed during 2000, the sales decline was 11%. The slowdown in the economy during 2001 significantly impacted sales. Reductions by our customers in spending on printed advertising material and direct mail promotions impacted sales of commercial printing and envelopes. Problems in the technology, telecommunications and travel industries also adversely affected our business. New Mail-Well's sales of $1.7 billion in 2000 were $283.3 million higher than sales in 1999. Sales contributed by acquisitions completed in 2000 and 1999 accounted for $159 million of this increase. Internal growth in both our commercial printing and envelope businesses accounted for the remainder. Reported sales in 2001 and 2000 changed from the prior year in the same proportions and were impacted by the same factors as the sales of New Mail-Well. RESTRUCTURING, ASSET IMPAIRMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES 2001. In connection with our new strategic plan, we developed plans to consolidate certain operations to eliminate excess internal capacity in order to reduce costs and improve our long-term competitive position. The restructuring charges related to these plans totaled $37.4 million in 2001, and we expect additional charges of approximately $38.0 million in 2002. The following table and discussion present the details of these restructuring charges, as well as other charges recorded in 2001:
Commercial (in thousands) Envelope Printing Corporate Total - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Employee separation and related expenses $ 9,042 $ 385 $ - $ 9,427 Lease termination costs 1,368 346 - 1,714 Other exit costs 13,174 1,632 - 14,806 Asset impairment charges 8,178 601 - 8,779 Strategic assessment costs - - 2,677 2,677 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total restructuring costs 31,762 2,964 2,677 37,403 Other charges 1,360 1,482 1,600 4,442 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Restructuring, asset impairments and other charges $33,122 $4,446 $4,277 $41,845 ===========================================================================================================
10 Our envelope business has implemented a plan to consolidate nine of our manufacturing facilities over an 18-month period. This plan will substantially reduce excess internal capacity and improve utilization of equipment and resources at the remaining 41 plants. The separation and related employee costs cover 923 employees to be terminated over the course of this project, of which 359 had been separated as of December 31, 2001. Other exit costs include training costs for those employees at the plants that are absorbing the sales of the plants being closed and external assistance in implementing the plant closures. As of December 31, 2001, we had completed the closure of our facilities in Omaha, Nebraska; Allentown, Pennsylvania; and Santa Fe Springs, California. The $8.2 million asset impairment charge relates to the write down of equipment taken out of service as a result of these plant closures. Our commercial printing business consolidated three printing operations in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area into one. This consolidation was done to improve the cost effectiveness of these operations and their competitive position in the Philadelphia market. The costs associated with this consolidation included severance and related expenses covering the termination of 25 employees, all of whom have been terminated. Other exit costs include expenses incurred to move and reinstall equipment. Equipment taken out of service was written down $0.6 million to its fair market value. In developing our new strategic plan, we engaged outside advisors to research and evaluate our markets, survey our customers and assess existing strategies. In addition, we engaged financial advisors to evaluate options for improving our capital structure. The cost of these advisors was $2.7 million. Our new strategy includes the launch of several initiatives to significantly improve operations and marketing effectiveness. Both the envelope and commercial printing businesses have programs in place to institute best practices, install pricing disciplines and align equipment and services to better serve our customers and markets. We believe these initiatives will significantly improve the performance of our businesses; accordingly, we have expedited the implementation of these programs in our commercial printing business by investing in outside assistance. The external incremental cost incurred for these initiatives totaled $2.1 million in 2001 and is reported as other charges. Other charges include the write-off of a $1.6 million investment in a company developing a service to enable online management of the creative process of a printing job and a $0.7 million write-off of the cost incurred for a human resource information system that will not be implemented. 2000. We began our comprehensive review of our operations in 2000 and identified certain actions that could be taken at that time. The following table and discussion present the details of restructuring charges, as well as other charges recorded in 2000:
Commercial (in thousands) Envelope Printing Total ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Employee separation and related expenses $ 86 $ 188 $ 274 Lease termination costs - 428 428 Asset impairment charges - 749 749 Other exit costs - 45 45 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total restructuring costs 86 1,410 1,496 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other asset impairments 1,872 2,036 3,908 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total restructuring, asset impairments and other charges $1,958 $3,446 $5,404 ================================================================================================
Our envelope business closed a resale operation in Vancouver, Washington. The separation and related employee costs covered the termination of 19 employees, all of whom have been terminated. Our commercial printing business consolidated two operations in St. Louis into an existing facility and closed our bindery operation in Mexico. We reduced our total workforce by 165 employees by taking these actions. We also incurred asset impairment charges in 2000 totaling $3.9 million that were unrelated to the restructuring. These assets were taken out of service and could not be redeployed or sold, and therefore were written off. 11 We completed a restructuring program initiated in 1998 during 2000. Changes related to that program, which were recorded in 2000, totaled $0.8 million. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS HELD FOR SALE As part of our new strategy, the sale of certain assets that are not strategic to our envelope or commercial printing businesses was approved in May 2001. We incurred a charge of $2.9 million in 2001 to write down certain of these assets to fair value. OPERATING INCOME
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 % CHANGE (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reported Operating income $33,816 $117,523 $137,010 (71)% (14)% Operating margin 2% 6% 9% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Mail-Well* Operating income $65,848 $110,497 $127,233 (40)% (13)% Operating margin 4% 6% 9% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Excludes operating income in 2001, 2000 and 1999 of certain operations of our envelope and commercial printing businesses held for sale, the $2.9 million impairment of assets held for sale in 2001 and restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $41.8 million, $6.2 million and $1.8 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
New Mail-Well's operating income declined 40% in 2001 to $65.8 million. Excluding earnings contributed by acquisitions completed in 2000, the decline was 42%. The reduction in operating income was primarily due to the estimated $53 million of contribution margin lost on the decline in sales. Increased competition resulting from the lower demand due to the slowdown in the economy impacted contribution margins by approximately $6 million. Offsetting these declines were reductions in fixed manufacturing costs, primarily production support, and administrative expenses, which totaled approximately $13 million during 2001. New Mail-Well's operating income in 2000 declined 13%. Excluding the $8.2 million attributable to acquisitions completed in 2000 and 1999, the decline was 19%. This decline was the result of lower margins in our envelope business due to higher paper prices and lower profits in our commercial printing business. The lower earnings of our commercial printing business were due to a change in the mix of the products sold and to poor operating performance at four manufacturing facilities, including asset write-offs and accrual adjustments, totaling $6.1 million at two of these plants. Corporate expenses were also higher primarily due to special retirement expenses of $2.6 million recorded in 2000. 12 INTEREST EXPENSE
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 % CHANGE (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest expense $ 78,891 $ 92,138 $ 55,247 (14)% 67% Less: Allocated to discontinued operations (26,140) (30,011) (15,039) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reported interest expense 52,751 62,127 40,208 (15)% 55% Less: Allocated to assets held for sale (5,255) (6,013) (4,796) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Mail-Well $ 47,496 $ 56,114 $ 35,412 (15)% 58% - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 2001, total interest expense declined 14% due to lower average debt balances and lower average interest rates. Interest rates and expense are expected to increase in 2002 due to anticipated debt refinancing related to the repayment of our 5% convertible notes on or before their maturity at November 1, 2002. In February 2000, we entered into a new senior secured credit facility to finance the acquisition of American Business Products, Inc. The increase in interest in 2000 was due to higher total borrowings and higher average interest rates. Reported interest is net of an allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations based on the net assets of those operations. Interest expense applicable to New Mail-Well also excludes interest allocated to certain operations of the envelope and commercial printing businesses which are held for sale, based on the net proceeds anticipated from the sales of these assets. INCOME TAXES
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reported Provision (benefit) for income taxes $(7,684) $20,213 $39,428 Effective tax rate 37.1% 37.1% 40.2% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Mail-Well Provision for income taxes $ 7,146 $19,242 $37,428 Effective tax rate 43.4% 36.1% 40.2% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Mail-Well's effective tax rate for 2001 increased by 7.3 percentage points due to lower pre-tax income, which increased the impact of nondeductible goodwill amortization on the effective rate. The 4.1 percentage point decline in New Mail-Well's effective tax rate for 2000 was due in part to a reduction in the statutory rates in Canada. In addition, net impact of permanent differences reduced taxable income in 2000. The reported effective tax rate for 2001 reflects the tax impact of the restructuring charge. 13 INCOME (LOSS) FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS AND INCOME PER SHARE - ASSUMING DILUTION
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 % CHANGE (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income (loss) from continuing operations Reported $(13,041) $34,209 $58,602 (138)% (42)% New Mail-Well* $ 9,319 $34,060 $55,622 (73)% (39)% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income (loss) from continuing operations per share - assuming dilution Reported $ (0.27) $ 0.69 $ 1.10 (139)% (38)% New Mail-Well* $ 0.19 $ 0.69 $ 1.05 (72)% (34)% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Excludes income from continuing operations in 2001, 2000 and 1999 of certain operations of our envelope and commercial printing businesses held for sale, the $2.9 million impairment of assets held for sale in 2001 and restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $41.8 million, $6.2 million and $1.8 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
New Mail-Well's income (loss) from continuing operations per share declined 72% in 2001, reflecting a similar decrease in income from continuing operations. The earnings decline was due to lower sales and lower margins partially offset by lower fixed costs and lower interest expense. In addition, our reported loss from continuing operations of $13 million, or $0.27 per share, was also negatively impacted by the restructuring, asset impairment and other charges of $41.8 million and the impairment charge recorded on assets held for sale of $2.9 million which are excluded from income from continuing operations of New Mail-Well. In 2000, income from continuing operations for New Mail-Well declined 39% with a corresponding 34% decrease in earnings per share. This decline in earnings reflected lower operating margins, higher fixed costs, higher amortization expense and higher interest expense than in 1999. LOSS ON DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In June 2001, we announced our intention to sell our label and printed office products businesses. Generally accepted accounting principles require that our financial statements be restated to exclude the sales and expenses of these business and that their results be reported as discontinued operations. The loss reported from discontinued operations was $123.2 million, or $2.59 per share, after income tax benefits from the loss and included the following: o A write-down to net realizable value based on estimated sales proceeds; and o The actual and forecasted results of these businesses from the date of the announcement through the expected date of disposal, including an allocation of interest expense. We have based our estimates of the sales proceeds expected from the divestitures on data provided by our financial advisors and indications of value received from prospective buyers. The loss will be adjusted once the actual sales proceeds are known or management has information indicating that the actual sales proceeds are likely to differ from the estimates. We do not expect the actual sales proceeds to be significantly different from those assumed, and we expect to complete these dispositions by June 30, 2002. Sales of our label and printed office products businesses in 2001 totaled $605.6 million. The operating income earned by these businesses in 2001 was $19.3 million. 14 NET INCOME (LOSS) AND NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE - ASSUMING DILUTION
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 % CHANGE (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income (loss) Reported $(136,217) $27,618 $64,482 (593)% (57)% New Mail-Well $ 9,319 $34,060 $55,622 (73)% (39)% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income (loss) per share - assuming dilution Reported $ (2.86) $ 0.56 $ 1.20 (611)% (53)% New Mail-Well $ 0.19 $ 0.69 $ 1.05 (72)% (34)% - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 2001, the reported net loss was $136.2 million, or $2.86 per share assuming dilution. This loss was due to lower operating results from continuing operations, the restructuring, asset impairments and other charges and the losses recognized on discontinued operations and assets held for sale. Net income in 2000 included an extraordinary gain of $1.4 million. Reported net income and net income per share in 2000 were down over 50% from 1999 because of lower operating results, higher amortization expense and higher interest expense. New Mail-Well's net income and net income per share are the same as shown from New Mail-Well's continuing operations because New Mail-Well excludes results of discontinued operations, the impairment on assets held for sale and the restructuring, asset impairments and other charges. BUSINESS SEGMENTS ENVELOPE The following table presents the reported sales and operating income of our envelope business, as well as its sales and operating income excluding the results of certain operations that are held for sale and the restructuring charges recorded in 2001 and 2000 ("New Envelope").
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 % CHANGE (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales Reported $835,534 $861,803 $738,288 (3)% 17% New Envelope* $781,463 $801,253 $679,257 (2)% 18% - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating income Reported $ 54,168 $ 90,202 $ 90,996 (40)% (1)% New Envelope* $ 79,286 $ 84,980 $ 86,344 (7)% (2)% - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Excludes sales and operating income of certain operations of our envelope business held for sale. New Envelope sales include sales to Curtis 1000 Inc. and other operations being divested, which sales are anticipated to continue subsequent to the dispositions of these operations.
New Envelope's sales in 2001 were down 2% from the prior year. Excluding the impact of acquisitions completed in 2000, sales were down approximately $35.6 million, or approximately 4%. This decline was due primarily to the general decline in the economy. Sales to direct mail customers were lower in 2001 by approximately $12.2 million due to reductions in spending on direct mail promotions. Sales of specialty packaging were down approximately $12.6 million primarily due to reduced demand from the U.S. Postal Service. We also experienced lower sales of approximately $4.7 million in the resale segment of our market as customers reduced inventories. In 2000, approximately $78.2 million of New Envelope's sales increase was due to the impact of companies acquired in 2000. Internal growth accounts for the remaining increase of $43.8 million. 15 Operating income of New Envelope was down 7% in 2001 from the prior year. Excluding the earnings of companies acquired in 2000 the decline was 9%. The decline in operating income in 2001 was due to lower sales and the resulting decrease in gross profit of $11.2 million. In response to the lower sales, we reduced fixed manufacturing costs in 2001 such that gross profit margin was down only 50 basis points to 20.5%. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, selling and administrative expenses were down $3.5 million from 2000 reflecting lower sales commissions and reductions in administrative overhead. In 2000, New Envelope's operating income was also down from the prior year. Excluding earnings of companies acquired in 2000 and 1999, the decline in operating income was 10%. In 2000, selling prices remained relatively constant with selling prices in 1999 despite higher paper costs in 2000 compared to 1999. Lower margins reduced gross profits by $14.5 million. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, administrative expenses were $1.8 million lower in 2000 than in 1999. COMMERCIAL PRINTING The following table presents the reported sales and operating income of our commercial printing business, as well as its sales and operating income excluding the results of certain of its operations that are held for sale and the restructuring and impairment charges recorded in 2001 and 2000 ("New Commercial Printing").
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 % CHANGE (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales Reported $817,937 $961,780 $795,552 (15)% 21% New Commercial Printing* $782,286 $918,140 $756,811 (15)% 21% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating income Reported $ 14,763 $ 54,758 $ 65,108 (73)% (16)% New Commercial Printing* $ 15,974 $ 52,648 $ 59,673 (70)% (12)% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Excludes sales and operating income of certain operations of our commercial printing business held for sale. New Commercial Printing sales include sales to Curtis 1000 Inc. and other operations being divested, which sales are anticipated to continue subsequent to the dispositions of these operations.
The economic slowdown in 2001 had a significant impact on our commercial printing business. Sales of New Commercial Printing were down 15% from the prior year. Excluding the impact of acquisitions completed in 2000, the sales decline was $147.3 million, or 16%. Customers have reduced spending on advertising in reaction to the recession, which has directly impacted our commercial printing business. We estimate that approximately 50% of commercial printing sales are related to advertising. Reductions in spending by our customers on print advertising account for approximately 28% of the sales decline in 2001. In addition, sales to our technology and telecommunications customers were down approximately $30 million, or approximately 20% of the decline, in 2001. The remaining sales decline was due to general reductions in demand and increased competition. New Commercial Printing's sales in 2000 were up 21%. Excluding the impact of sales by companies acquired in 2000 and 1999, the increase was 13%. Sales of annual reports, automotive brochures, magazine inserts and printed educational materials were strong in 2000 and responsible for much of this growth. The decline in operating income of New Commercial Printing in 2001 was primarily related to the significant sales decline in 2001. Contribution margin lost due to lower sales was more than $40 million. This reduction was offset by a reduction in administrative expenses, before considering acquisitions, of $3.3 million. In 2000, New Commercial Printing's operating income declined 12%. Excluding the impact of acquisitions completed in 2000 and 1999, the decline in operating income was 17%. Despite the increase in sales during 2000, margins declined primarily due to significant operating problems at four of our printing plants. The operating income at these four plants was $10.1 million lower in 2000 than in 1999, before considering charges of $6.1 million to write-off assets and adjust accruals at two of these plants. A change in mix of business in 2000 also had a negative impact on results. 16 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We generated cash of $152.0 million from continuing operations in 2001 compared to $131.4 million in 2000 and $107.2 million in 1999. While earnings declined in 2001 and 2000, non-cash charges increased primarily due to the increase in the non-cash portion of the restructuring and asset impairment charges recorded in 2001 and 2000. In addition, working capital, which consists of current assets exclusive of cash and cash equivalents, net assets of discontinued operations and net assets held for sale, less current liabilities, exclusive of the current portion of long-term debt, was reduced $88.5 million in 2001 to $135.2 million at December 31, 2001 compared to a reduction of $35 million in 2000 and an increase of $4.3 million 1999. Capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, were $26.8 million in 2001, $57.8 million in 2000 and $65.1 million in 1999. We anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $42 million in 2002. Consistent with our new strategy to reduce our leverage, free cash flow in 2001 was used primarily to reduce debt. There were no significant acquisitions in 2001. In 2000, we obtained a new senior secured credit facility to fund the acquisition of American Business Products, Inc. for $331.1 million in cash plus $7.5 million of assumed debt. We sold the extrusion coating and laminating operation of American Business Products in September 2000 for after-tax cash proceeds of approximately $110.6 million. Other acquisitions in 2000 included three commercial printing companies and an envelope company. The cash paid for these four companies totaled $48.1 million. Debt was the principal source of funds used in 1999 for the acquisitions of seven printing companies and one envelope company for purchase prices totaling $130.9 million. We repurchased 1,821,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million during 2000. We did not repurchase any common stock in 2001 and have no plans to do so in 2002. In addition, we repurchased $13.0 million of our outstanding convertible subordinated notes in 2000. These transactions reduced the number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis by 473,402 and 541,491, respectively. The impact on diluted earnings per share was not material. The percentage of New Mail-Well's debt to total capital was 70.2% at December 31, 2001, up from 69.1% at December 31, 2000. The following table summarizes our cash obligations as of December 31, 2001:
PAYMENTS DUE BY PERIOD ---------------------- (in thousands) Less than 1 year Years 2 and 3 Years 4 and 5 Thereafter Total - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term debt $302,822 $40,004 $194,228 $315,945 $ 852,999 Operating leases 33,844 56,913 42,545 32,066 165,368 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total cash obligations $336,666 $96,917 $236,773 $348,011 $1,018,367 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-term debt due during 2002 includes the retirement of our convertible notes, other current debt and the portion of our bank borrowings that will be paid from the proceeds from our planned divestitures pursuant to the terms of our senior credit facility, net of amounts that would become available as a result of such repayments under our revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2001, we had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $5.9 million related to performance and payment guarantees. In addition, we have issued letters of credit of $16.1 million as credit enhancements in conjunction with other debt. Based on our experience with these arrangements, we do not believe that any obligations that may arise will be significant. 17 Our convertible notes mature in November 2002. We intend to offer $300 million in new senior debt securities with a ten year maturity, with the net proceeds from the offering used to pay down our senior credit facility. In conjunction with this offering, we are obtaining an amendment to the senior credit facility that, upon completion of the offering, will allow us to set aside funds under the senior credit facility needed for the retirement of the convertible notes on or before their maturity, subject to meeting applicable borrowing conditions. We expect to be able to fund our operations, capital expenditures and debt and other contractual commitments over the next 12 months from internally generated cash flow and funds available under our revolving credit facility. In addition, we expect to receive approximately $300 million in proceeds from the sales of our planned divestitures. At December 31, 2001, we had $131.5 million of unused available credit under our revolving credit facilities. OUTLOOK The economic downturn in 2001 continues to affect our business in 2002. We do not expect significant increases in sales or improvements in our margins until the economy, and especially advertising, rebounds. In the meantime, we have continued to take steps through our strategic initiatives and otherwise to reduce costs and improve our operations. SEASONALITY AND ENVIRONMENT Our commercial printing business experiences seasonal variations. Our revenues from annual reports are generally concentrated from February through April. Revenues associated with holiday catalogs and automobile brochures tend to be concentrated from July through October, and calendars May to September. As a result of these seasonal variations, we are at near capacity in some facilities at certain time during these periods. Several consumer direct market segments served by our envelope business, such as photo finishing packaging and certain segments of the direct mail market, experience seasonality, with a higher percentage of volume of products sold to these markets occurring during the fourth quarter of the year. This seasonality is due to the increase in sales to the direct mail market due to holiday purchases. Seasonality is offset by the diversity of our other products and markets, which are not materially affected by seasonal conditions. Environmental matters have not had a material financial impact on our historical operations and are not expected to have a material impact in the future. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND JUDGMENTS In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis, including those related to bad debts, inventory valuations, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring costs, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant judgments made in our financial statements for 2001 involve the estimation of net sales proceeds to be received form the sales of our discontinued operations and assets held for sale. We have based our estimates on indications of value expressed by prospective buyers and the advice of our financial advisors. We do not expect the actual proceeds to be significantly different from our estimates; however, until we have completed each of our planned divestitures, the possibility exists that actual proceeds could be materially different from our estimates. We exercise judgment in evaluating our long-lived assets for impairment. We believe our businesses will generate sufficient undiscounted cash flow to more than recover the investments we have made in property, plant and equipment, as well as the goodwill and other intangibles recorded as a result of our acquisitions. We are self-insured for the majority of our workers' compensation costs and group health insurance costs. We rely on claims experience and the advice of consulting actuaries and administrators in determining an adequate liability for self-insurance claims. 18 The determination of our tax provision is complex due to the number of acquisitions we have completed and due to operations in several tax jurisdictions outside the United States. In addition, realization of certain deferred tax assets is dependent upon our ability to generate future taxable income. ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION See Exhibit 99.1 filed with this report for the unaudited Consolidating Condensed Financial Information of Mail-Well I Corporation, as Issuer, certain of its subsidiaries as guarantor subsidiaries, certain of its subsidiaries as non-guarantor subsidiaries and Mail-Well, Inc. as parent guarantor. These statements are provided for compliance with the reporting requirements under the indenture for the 8 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2008. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets arising from business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. SFAS 142 requires that these assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. We will apply SFAS 142 beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of SFAS 142 is expected to result in an increase in net income of $7.1 million ($0.15 per share) in 2002. We will reclassify an assembled workforce intangible asset with an unamortized balance of $3.9 million and a customer relationship intangible asset with unamortized balance of $9.4 million along with a related deferred tax liability of $5.1 million to goodwill at the date of adoption. We will test goodwill for impairment using the two-step process prescribed in SFAS 142. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of the impairment, if any. We expect to complete the first step by June 30, 2002. Based on steps we have taken to prepare for the adoption of SFAS 142, it is possible that a portion of the unamortized goodwill related to our commercial printing business, which totals $213.5 million, will be impaired using the impairment measurement methodology required by SFAS 142. We have not yet determined the amount of the potential impairment loss, if any. Any impairment that is required to be recognized when adopting SFAS 142 will be reflected as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2002. We will complete measurement of any impairment loss upon the initial adoption of SFAS No. 142 by December 31, 2002. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which establishes one accounting model to be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects Of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. We will adopt SFAS 144 as of January 1, 2002 and do not anticipate any immediate impact from the adoption of this statement. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. We will adopt SFAS 143 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 143 on the consolidated financial statements. 19 FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION Certain statements in this report, and in particular, statements found in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "project," "will" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements which address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of Mail-Well with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially form those expressed or implied in these statements. As and when made, management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements since such statements speak only as of the date when made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The following are some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in or underlying the Company's forward-looking statements: o We reported losses for the last three fiscal quarters of 2001 primarily as a result of expenses related to our restructuring initiatives and the economic slowdown, which in particular adversely affected our sales to significant advertising and automotive customers and direct mail. Our ability to return to profitability depends in part on our customers' recovery from this slowdown and the success of our efforts to reduce operating expenses through our plant consolidations and ongoing cost-cutting measures in connection with our recent strategic initiatives. Our operating results are difficult to predict, and we cannot provide assurance we will be successful in achieving increased revenues, positive cash flows or profitability. o The Company has outstanding $139 million in aggregate principal amount of 5% convertible notes. The convertible notes are due November 1, 2002. We expect to use available cash and, to the extent necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility to repay these notes. The senior credit facility has several conditions to borrowing. If we are unable to satisfy all of these conditions, we would be unable to borrow under the senior credit facility to repay the convertible notes. We would then need to obtain the funds to repay the convertible notes through other sources, which funds may not be available to us on favorable terms, on a timely basis or at all. The Company's failure to pay the convertible notes when due would be an event of default under the convertible notes. 20 o In May 2001, we announced the adoption of a strategic restructuring plan that calls for the divestiture of our label and printed office products businesses. We currently continue to operate those businesses much as we have in the past but, for accounting purposes, we account for these operations as "discontinued operations." The implementation of our plan to sell these businesses may adversely affect the results of operations of these businesses due to diversion of management's attention, the impact on customers and other factors. We have sold Curtis 1000 Inc., but we have not entered into any other definitive agreements of sale. There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate any sale of those businesses, or that the terms, conditions or timing of any sale, if consummated, will achieve the results contemplated by our restructuring plan. We intend to use the proceeds of these proposed sales to repay some of our existing debt under our senior credit facility. There can be no assurance that we will receive cash proceeds in the amounts contemplated by our strategic plan to retire a material amount of existing debt. In addition, if any proposed sale is consummated, we may have to retain certain liabilities associated with those business segments' prior operations, including pension benefit obligations, environmental liabilities and indemnification obligations customarily contained in sale agreements. o In the past, we have grown rapidly through acquisitions. Although we believe that our experience in making acquisitions is an important asset, our strategic plan and the terms of our senior credit facility limit the acquisitions that we may currently pursue. To the extent that we pursue acquisitions, we cannot be certain that we will be able to identify and acquire other businesses on favorable terms or that, if we are able to acquire businesses on favorable terms, we will be able to successfully integrate the acquired businesses into our current business or profitably manage them. o The printing industry in which we compete is generally characterized by individual orders from customers or short-term contracts. Most of our customers are not contractually obligated to purchase products or services from us. Most customer orders are for specific printing jobs, and repeat business largely depends on our customers' satisfaction with the work we do. Although our business does not depend on any one customer or group of customers, we cannot be sure that any particular customer will continue to do business with us for any period of time. In addition, the timing of particular jobs or types of jobs at particular times of year may cause significant fluctuations in the operating results of our various printing operations in any given quarter. We depend to some extent on sales to certain industries such as the advertising and automotive industries. We estimate that approximately 50% of our commercial printing sales are related to advertising. To the extent these industries experience downturns, as is currently the case in advertising, the results of our operations are adversely affected. o The printing industry in which we compete is extremely fragmented and highly competitive. In the commercial printing market, we compete against a number of large, diversified and financially stronger printing companies, as well as regional and local commercial printers, many of which are capable of competing with us on volume, price and production quality. In the envelope market, we compete primarily with a few multi-plant and many single-plant companies servicing regional and local markets. There currently is excess capacity in the printing industry, which could result in excessive price competition. We are constantly seeking ways to reduce our costs and become more efficient competitor. However, we cannot be certain that these efforts will be successful or that our competitors will not be more successful in their similar efforts to reduce costs and become more efficient. If we fail to reduce costs and increase productivity, we may face decreased profit margins in markets where we encounter price competition, which in turn could reduce our cash flow and profitability. o Most envelopes used in the United States and Canada are sent through the mail and as a result, postal rates can significantly affect envelope usage. Historically, increases in postal rates, relative to changes in the cost of alternative delivery means and/or advertising media, have resulted in temporary reductions in the growth rate of mail sent, including direct mail, which is a significant portion of our envelope volume. We cannot be sure that direct mail marketers will not reduce their volume as a result of any increases. Because rate increases in the U.S. and Canada are outside our control, we can provide no assurance that any increases in U.S. and/or Canadian postal rates will not have a negative effect on the level of mail sent, or the volume of envelopes purchased, in either or both countries. In such event, we would expect to experience a decrease in cash flow and profitability or financial position. Factors other than postal rates that detrimentally affect the volume of mail sent through the U. S. and Canadian postal systems may also negatively affect our business. If the threats of mass bio-terrorism in the U. S. mail system persist, or if there is a perception of a lack of safety in the U. S. or Canadian postal systems, we cannot be sure that direct mail marketers will not reduce their volume as a result of any such persisting threats or insecurity, or 21 that such decreases in demand will not have a negative effect on the level of mail sent or the volume of envelopes purchased. o As of December 31, 2001, we had approximately 13,150 full-time employees, of whom approximately 2,315 were members of various local labor unions. If our unionized employees were to engage in a concerted strike or other work stoppage, or if other employees were to become unionized, we could experience a disruption of operations, higher labor costs or both. A lengthy strike could result in a material decrease in our cash flow or profitability. o Paper costs represent a significant portion of our cost of materials. Changes in paper pricing generally do no affect the operating margins of our commercial printing business because we historically have been able to pass on paper price increases and increased proceeds from waste paper sales. Paper pricing does, however, impact the operating margins of our envelope business because we generally are not able to increase our prices as quickly as paper prices increase. We cannot be certain that we will be able to continue to pass on future increases in the cost of paper. Moreover, rising paper costs and their consequent impact on our pricing could lead to a decrease in our volume of units sold. For example, successive paper price increases during late 1995 and early 1996 resulted in a decline in demand for our products, particularly from the direct mail advertising industry. Although we have been successful in negotiating favorable pricing terms with paper vendors, we cannot be certain we will be successful in negotiating favorable pricing terms in the future. This may result in decreased sales volumes as well as decreased cash flow and profitability. Due to the significance of paper in the manufacture of most of our products, we depend on the availability of paper. During periods of tight paper supply, many paper producers allocate shipments of paper based on the historical purchase levels of customers. As a result of our large volume paper purchases from several paper producers, we generally have not experienced difficulty in obtaining adequate quantities of paper, although we have occasionally experienced minor delays in delivery. Although we believe that our attractiveness to vendors as a large volume paper purchaser will continue to enable us to receive adequate supplies of paper in the future, unforeseen developments in world paper markets coupled with shortages of raw paper could result in a decrease in supply, which in turn would cause a decrease in the volume of products we could produce and sell and a corresponding decrease in cash flow and profitability. o Our envelope manufacturing and printing business is highly dependent upon the demand for envelopes sent through the mail. Such demand comes from utility companies, banks and other financial institutions, among others. Our printing business also depends upon demand for printed advertising and business forms, among others. Customers increasingly use the Internet and other electronic media to purchase goods and services, and for other purposes such as paying utility and credit card bills. Advertisers use them for targeted campaigns directed at specific electronic user groups. Large and small businesses use electronic media to conduct business, send invoices and collect bills. As a result, we expect the demand for envelopes and other printed materials for these purposes to decline. Although we expect countervailing trends, such as the growth of targeted direct mail campaigns based upon mailing lists generated by electronic purchases, to cause overall demand for envelopes and other printed materials to continue to grow at rates comparable to recent historical levels, we cannot be certain that the acceleration of the trend towards electronic media such as the Internet and other alternative media will not cause a decrease in the demand for our products. o Our operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to air emissions, wastewater discharge, waste generation, handling, management and disposal, and remediation of contaminated sites. In addition, some of the sellers from which we have bought businesses in the past have been designated as potentially responsible parties under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or CERCLA, or similar legislation in Canada, with respect to off-site disposal of hazardous waste at two sites. CERCLA imposes strict, and in certain circumstances joint and several, liability for response costs. Liability may also include damages to natural resources. We believe that we have minimal exposure as a result of such designations, either because indemnities obtained in the course of acquisitions or because of the de minimis nature of the claims, or both. We also believe that our current operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. We cannot be certain, however, that available indemnities will be adequate to cover all costs or that currently unknown conditions or matters, new laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our business or operations in the future. 22 o Our success will continue to depend to a significant extent on our executive officers and other key management personnel. We do not as a matter of policy have employment agreements with our executive officers. We cannot be certain that we will be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel or attract additional qualified management in the future. The success of our new strategic plan may depend, in part, on our ability to retain management personnel during the implementation of the plan. In addition, the success of any acquisitions we may pursue may depend, in part, on our ability to retain management personnel of the acquired companies. We do not carry key-person insurance on any of our managerial personnel. The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risks such as changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect results of operations and financial position. Risks from interest and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations are managed through normal operating and financing activities. We do not utilize derivatives for speculative purposes, nor do we currently hedge interest rate exposure through the use of swaps and options or foreign exchange exposure through the use of forward contracts. Exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates relates primarily to our variable rate debt obligations. The interest on this debt is the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, we had variable rate debt outstanding of $402.3 million and $447.2 million, respectively. A 1% increase in LIBOR on the maximum amount available under our credit agreement, which is $546 million, would increase our interest expense by $5.5 million and reduce our net income by approximately $3.4 million. We have operations in Canada, the United Kingdom and Mexico, and are exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Canadian dollar, the British pound and the Mexican peso. 23 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Shareholders and Board of Directors Mail-Well, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mail-Well, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Mail-Well, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

28 MAIL-WELL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS Mail-Well, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") prints and manufactures envelopes in the United States and Canada and is a leading commercial printer in the United States. The Company, headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, is organized under Colorado law, and its common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mail-Well, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Except as otherwise noted, all amounts and disclosures have been restated to reflect only the Company's continuing operations (see note 3). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. See Exhibit 99.1 filed with this report for the unaudited Consolidating Condensed Financial Information of Mail-Well I Corporation, as Issuer, certain of its subsidiaries as guarantor subsidiaries, certain of its subsidiaries as non-guarantor subsidiaries and Mail-Well, Inc. as parent guarantor. These statements are provided for compliance with the reporting under the indenture for the requirements of the 8 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2008. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized at the time product is shipped or title passes pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the customer, the amount due from the customer is fixed, and collectibility of the related receivable is reasonably assured. SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recognized in net sales. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit and investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable. Allowances for doubtful accounts of $4.7 million and $4.4 million have been applied as reductions of accounts receivable at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 29 INVENTORIES Inventory values include all costs directly associated with manufacturing products: materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. These values are presented at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, and expenditures that increase the capacity, efficiency or useful lives of existing assets are capitalized. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of 15 to 45 years for buildings and improvements, 10 to 15 years for machinery and equipment and three to 10 years for furniture and fixtures. For tax purposes, depreciation is computed using accelerated methods. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired and is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Other intangibles primarily arise from the purchase price allocations of businesses acquired and are based on independent appraisals or internal estimates and are amortized on a straight-line basis over appropriate periods (currently four to 21 years). Accumulated amortization was $46.9 million and $33.4 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS All long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles, are evaluated for impairment on the basis of undiscounted cash flows whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, as measured by comparing their net book value to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by their use. Impaired assets are written down to their estimated fair market value. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at current exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates for the year. The effects of translation are included as a component of other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in income when realized. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets arising from business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. SFAS No. 142 requires that these assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. 30 The Company will apply SFAS No. 142 beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 is expected to result in an increase in net income of $7.1 million ($0.15 per share) in 2002. The Company will reclassify an assembled workforce intangible asset with an unamortized balance of $3.9 million and a customer relationship intangible asset with an unamortized balance of $9.4 million along with a related deferred tax liability of $5.1 million to goodwill at the date of adoption. The Company will test goodwill for impairment using the two-step process prescribed in SFAS No. 142. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of the impairment, if any. The Company expects to complete the first step by June 30, 2002. Based on steps the Company has taken to prepare for the adoption of SFAS No. 142, it is possible that a portion of the unamortized goodwill related to the commercial printing segment, which totals $213.5 million, will be impaired using the impairment measurement methodology required by SFAS No. 142. The Company has not yet determined the amount of the potential impairment loss, if any. Any impairment that is required to be recognized when adopting SFAS No. 142 will be reflected as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2002. The Company will complete measurement of any impairment loss upon the initial adoption of SFAS No. 142 by December 31, 2002. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which establishes one accounting model to be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 144 as of January 1, 2002 and does not anticipate any immediate impact from the adoption of this statement. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 143 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 143 on the consolidated financial statements. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. 2. ACQUISITIONS The acquisitions described below have been accounted for as purchases; accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies have been recorded at their estimated fair values with the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values recorded as goodwill. Certain of the Company's acquisition agreements provide for deferred payments by the Company, contingent upon future revenues or profits of the companies acquired. Such payments are capitalized and recorded as goodwill. The financial statements reflect the operations of the acquired businesses, from their respective acquisition dates. ACQUISITIONS IN THE COMMERCIAL PRINTING SEGMENT In January 2000, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Braceland Brothers, Inc., located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Atlanta, Georgia; and Steubenville, Ohio, for $13.7 million. The Philadelphia location has been closed. Goodwill recorded as a result of this acquisition was $3.1 million. In May 2000, the Company purchased the stock of Craftsmen Litho, Inc., located in Waterbury, Connecticut, for $9.3 million. Goodwill recorded as a result of this acquisition was $5.5 million. In June 2000, the Company purchased the stock of Strathmore Press, Inc., located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, for $9.3 million. This company has been consolidated with another operation in the Philadelphia area. Goodwill recorded as a result of this acquisition was $4.9 million. 31 During 1999, the Company paid $103.6 million and assumed debt of $1.6 million to acquire seven commercial printing companies. The goodwill recorded in connection with these acquisitions was approximately $63.4 million. ACQUISITIONS IN THE ENVELOPE SEGMENT In February 2000, the Company acquired American Business Products, Inc. ("ABP") in a cash tender offer, in which the total value of the transaction, including the assumption of debt, was approximately $338.5 million. Goodwill recorded as a result of this acquisition was $154.6 million. In September 2000, the Company sold Jen-Coat, the extrusion and coating laminating business unit of ABP for $110.6 million. In June 2001, the Company announced its intent to divest Curtis 1000 and Discount Label, two other business units acquired in the ABP acquisition. Jen-Coat, Curtis 1000 and Discount Label have been included within the discontinued operations. International Envelope is the only ABP business unit included in continuing operations. The portion of the ABP purchase price allocated to International Envelope was $75.9 million including goodwill of $39.1 million. In July 2000, the Company purchased the stock of CML Industries Ltd., a supplier of envelopes and converted paper products located in Ontario and Quebec, Canada, for $20.9 million. Goodwill recorded as a result of this acquisition was $12.1 million. In October 1999, the Company purchased the stock of Northeastern Envelope, located in Braintree, Massachusetts, for $2.6 million. Goodwill recorded as a result of this acquisition was $1.3 million. 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In June 2001, the Company announced plans to sell its Label and Printed Office Products segments. Management expects to complete these dispositions by June 30, 2002. These segments have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The reported loss on disposition of the Label and Printed Office Products segments includes the write-down to net realizable value based on estimated proceeds, costs associated with the planned dispositions, the estimated earnings or losses from operations of the discontinued businesses through the expected date of these dispositions and the related income tax expense. Management has based its estimates of the sales proceeds expected from the divestitures of Label and Printed Office Products on data provided by its financial advisors and indications of value received from prospective buyers. The loss will be adjusted if management has information indicating that the actual sales proceeds are different than the estimates. The accrual for estimated earnings or losses from the measurement date to December 31, 2001 was not materially different than the actual results. In September 2000, the Company sold Jen-Coat, the extrusion coating and laminating business segment of ABP. The operating results of this business unit were recorded as discontinued operations in the 2000 consolidated statement of operations. Interest expense has been allocated to the operating results and the expected earnings included in the calculation of the loss on disposal of discontinued operations based upon the relative net assets of Jen-Coat, Label and Printed Office Products. This allocation of interest totaled $26.1 million, $30.0 million and $15.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 32 Operating results of the discontinued operations are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Assets primarily consist of accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment and deferred income taxes. Liabilities primarily consist of accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred income taxes and other long-term liabilities. The net assets of discontinued operations presented in the 2001 consolidated balance sheet include the write-down of assets to estimated net realizable value, the accrual of obligations associated with the sale of the two segments and the accrual of estimated earnings from December 31, 2001 to the expected date of disposal. 33 4. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE The Company's divestiture plans also include the sale of certain operations that are not strategic to its Envelope and Commercial Printing segments. The Company expects to complete the dispositions of these operations by June 30, 2002. The following table presents the sales and operating income of these operations for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):

6. LONG-TERM DEBT At December 31, 2001 and 2000, long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):
2001 2000 -------------------------------- Secured Senior Credit Facility: Tranche A term loan, due 2006 $ 194,918 $237,586 Tranche B term loan, due 2007 192,749 209,603 Revolving loan facility, due 2006 6,000 - Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2008 300,000 300,000 Convertible Subordinated Notes, due 2002 139,063 139,063 Other 20,269 33,541 -------------------------------- 852,999 919,793 Less current maturities (302,822) (40,040) -------------------------------- Long-term debt $ 550,177 $879,753 ================================
In February 2000, the Company entered into an $800,000,000 Senior Secured Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility originally consisted of a $300 million Tranche A term loan, a $250 million Tranche B term loan and a $250 million revolving loan facility. The Company is required to repay $33.3 million in principal on the Tranche A term loan in 2002, increasing $7.8 million each year through 2005 with a final payment of $14.7 million in 2006. The Company is required to repay $490,000 each quarter on the Tranche B term loan through the first quarter of 2005, with four quarterly balloon payments of $46.1 million per quarter thereafter. Any optional or required prepayments of principal are applied proportionately between the Tranche A and B term loans. Interest under the Credit Facility, which is payable quarterly, is based on London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin. At December 31, 2001, the interest rates on Tranche A and B term loans were 5.56% and 5.77%, respectively, and the interest rate on the revolving loan facility was 6.75%. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's domestic property. In November 1998, the Company issued $300,000,000 of 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Senior Notes"), which are due November 2008. Interest is payable semi-annually. The Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, on or after December 15, 2003, at redemption prices which range from 100% to 104.375%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In November 1997, the Company issued $152,050,000 of 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2002 (the "Convertible Notes"). Interest is payable semi-annually. The Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $19.00 per share at any time prior to November 1, 2002. In March 2000, the Company repurchased $12,987,000 of the outstanding Convertible Notes at a discount and recorded a gain of $2,989,000, which was reported net of tax as an extraordinary item in the consolidated statements of operations. The Credit Facility provides for the funds needed for the mandatory retirement of the Convertible Notes on their due date, subject to meeting applicable borrowing conditions. Other long-term debt is primarily term debt with banks with interest rates which range from 6.0% to 12.0% at December 31, 2001. Other long-term debt also includes capital lease obligations. At December 31, 2001, the Company had $131.5 million available on its existing lines of credit. 35 In February 2000, the Company wrote off deferred financing costs of $635,000 capitalized in connection with the bank borrowings, which were repaid in February 2000. The charge is reported net of tax as an extraordinary item in the consolidated statements of operations. The aggregate annual maturities for long-term debt at December 31, 2001 are as follows (in thousands): 2002 $302,822 2003 27,814 2004 12,190 2005 13,832 2006 180,396 Thereafter 315,945 -------------- $852,999 ==============
Current maturities include the anticipated retirement of the Convertible Notes and also include the portion of bank borrowings that will be paid from the proceeds from planned divestitures pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, net of amounts that would become available as a result of such repayments under the revolving credit facility due in 2006. The Credit Facility, Senior Notes and Convertible Notes contain certain restrictive covenants that, among other things and with certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness or issue capital stock, prepay subordinated debt, transfer assets outside of the Company, pay dividends or repurchase shares of common stock. In addition to these restrictions, the Company is required to satisfy certain financial covenants. As of December 31, 2001, the Company is in compliance with all of these covenants. Cash paid for interest (including interest allocated to discontinued operations) on long-term debt was $71,494,000, $89,923,000 and $51,849,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company's Credit Facility, Senior Notes, Convertible Notes and other long-term debt based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturity was $793.6 million and $794.2 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 7. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FINANCING FACILITY In 2000 and until July 2001, the Company utilized an accounts receivable financing facility which entitled the Company to transfer, without recourse, certain trade accounts receivable to a special purpose entity and to receive up to $75 million from a group of unrelated third party purchasers at a cost of funds equal to commercial paper rates. The Company continued to service the receivables that were transferred to the special purpose entity under the facility for which it received a fee as specified by the facility and considered adequate compensation. At December 31, 2000, net accounts receivable of $151.1 million had been transferred to the special purpose entity under the facility. Of the total transferred, $75.0 million was sold to third party purchasers. The value of the Company's retained subordinated interest at December 31, 2000 was $75.4 million and is included in accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet. This value was determined by considering the average life of accounts receivables, which was 45 days, and the rate of expected credit losses, which was very low due to the collection experience of the Company. The facility was terminated in July 2001. 36 8. INCOME TAXES Income (loss) from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was (in thousands):

37 Deferred taxes are recorded to give recognition to temporary differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recorded as deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future years. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent items that have been deducted for tax purposes, but have not yet been recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are presented below (in thousands):

Net operating losses of $14.6 million are being carried forward and are available to reduce future taxable income. These net operating losses will expire in 2020. The Company also has tax credit carryforwards of $5.6 million at December 31, 2001, which may be carried forward indefinitely. Cash payments for income taxes (including the amounts allocated to discontinued operations) were $2,385,000, $8,813,000 and $21,255,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company does not provide U.S. income taxes on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries since these earnings are deemed permanently invested. Unremitted earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 were $70.9 million. 38 9. RESTRUCTURING, ASSET IMPAIRMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES 2001 RESTRUCTURING In June 2001, the Company announced a new strategic plan, which includes plans to further consolidate certain operations to eliminate excess internal capacity in order to reduce costs and improve its long-term competitive position. The restructuring charge related to these plans totaled $37.4 million in 2001. Additional charges of approximately $38.0 million are expected in 2002. The following table presents the details of this restructuring charge, as well as other charges recorded in 2001 (in thousands):
COMMERCIAL ENVELOPE PRINTING CORPORATE TOTAL ------------------------------------------------------------ Employee separation and related expenses $ 9,042 $ 385 $ - $ 9,427 Lease termination costs 1,368 346 - 1,714 Other exit costs 13,174 1,632 - 14,806 Asset impairment charges 8,178 601 - 8,779 Strategic assessment costs - - 2,677 2,677 ------------------------------------------------------------ Total restructuring costs 31,762 2,964 2,677 37,403 ------------------------------------------------------------ Other charges 1,360 1,482 1,600 4,442 ------------------------------------------------------------ Restructuring, asset impairments and other charges $33,122 $4,446 $4,277 $41,845 ============================================================
The Envelope segment implemented a plan to consolidate nine of its manufacturing facilities over an 18-month period. This plan will substantially reduce excess internal capacity and improve utilization of equipment and resources at the remaining 41 plants. The employee separation and related expenses cover 923 employees to be terminated over the course of this project, of which 359 employees have been terminated as of December 31, 2001. Other exit costs include training expenses for those employees at the plants that are absorbing the sales of the plants being closed and external assistance in implementing the plant closures. As of December 31, 2001, plants in Omaha, Nebraska; Allentown, Pennsylvania; and Santa Fe Springs, California were closed. Equipment taken out of service as a result of these plant closures was written down $8.2 million to its fair market value. Commercial Printing consolidated three of its printing operations in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area into one existing facility. This consolidation was done to improve the cost effectiveness of these operations and their competitive position in the Philadelphia market. The costs associated with this consolidation included severance and related expenses covering the termination of 25 employees all of whom have been terminated. Other exit costs included expenses incurred to move and reinstall equipment. Equipment taken out of service was written down $0.6 million to its fair market value. In developing the Company's new strategic plan, outside advisors were engaged to research and evaluate markets, survey customers and assess existing strategies. Financial advisors were also engaged to evaluate options for improving the Company's capital structure. The cost of these advisors was $2.7 million. The following table is an analysis of the reserve recorded for the 2001 restructuring (in thousands):
COMMERCIAL ENVELOPE PRINTING TOTAL ------------------------------------------------- Initial accrual $13,449 $1,952 $15,401 Payments for severance (2,962) (381) (3,343) Payments for lease termination costs (219) (608) (827) Payments for other exit costs (142) (45) (187) Reversal of unused portion - (314) (314) ------------------------------------------------- Balance, December 31, 2001 $10,126 $ 604 $10,730 =================================================
39 The Company launched several initiatives during 2001 to significantly improve operations and marketing. Both Envelope and Commercial Printing have programs in place to institute best practices, install pricing disciplines and align equipment and services to better serve customers and markets. The Company has invested in outside assistance to expedite the implementation of these programs. The external incremental cost incurred totaled $2.1 million in 2001 and is included in other charges. Other charges also include a $1.6 million write-off of an investment in a company developing a service to enable online management of the creative process of a printing job and a $0.7 million write-off in the envelope segment for the cost of a human resource information system that will not be implemented. 2000 RESTRUCTURING In 2000, the Company began the comprehensive review of its operations, which ultimately led to the new strategy announced in 2001, and identified certain actions that could be taken at that time. The following table presents the details of the restructuring and asset impairment charges recorded in 2000 (in thousands):
COMMERCIAL ENVELOPE PRINTING TOTAL ----------------------------------------------- Employee separation and related expenses $ 86 $ 188 $ 274 Lease termination costs - 428 428 Other exit costs - 45 45 Asset impairment charges - 749 749 ----------------------------------------------- Total restructuring costs 86 1,410 1,496 Other asset impairments 1,872 2,036 3,908 ----------------------------------------------- Restructuring, asset impairments and other charges $1,958 $3,446 $5,404 ===============================================
Envelope closed a resale operation in Vancouver, Washington. The employee separation costs covered the severance expenses of 19 employees. Commercial Printing consolidated two operations in St. Louis, Missouri into an existing facility and closed its bindery operation in Mexico. Approximately 165 employees of commercial printing were terminated as a result of these actions. The Company also incurred asset impairment charges in 2000 totaling $3.9 million that were unrelated to the restructuring. These assets were not in use and could not be redeployed or sold, and therefore were written-off. Charges from the 1998 restructuring plan recorded in 2000 and 1999 were $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively. This plan was completed in 2000. The following table is an analysis of the reserve recorded for the 2000 restructuring (in thousands):

40 10. STOCK OPTION PLANS In May 2001, the Company adopted a Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), which replaced all prior stock option plans (the "Option Plans"). The Incentive Plan allows the compensation committee of the Board of Directors to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted common stock, performance awards and any other stock-based awards to officers, directors and employees of the Company. Under the Incentive Plan, the Board granted 669,000 Performance-Based Restricted Shares ("PARS") and 3,113,420 stock options in 2001. The stock options vest over 4 1/2 years, at a vesting rate of 20% annually with the final 20% vesting in December 2005. Fifty percent of the PARS will vest in June 2006 and the other fifty percent will vest in June 2007. The Incentive Plan provides for an acceleration of the vesting of both the stock options and the PARS if the Company's stock price closes at certain levels for 20 consecutive trading days as set forth in the following schedule:
AMOUNT OF ACCELERATED STOCK PRICE AT WHICH VESTING OCCURS VESTING OPTIONS PARS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- First one-third $ 7.50 $ 8.00 Second one-third $10.00 $11.00 Final one-third $12.50 $14.00
The Company recorded fixed deferred compensation in the amount of $3,686,000 equal to the value of the PARS on the date of grant. This deferred compensation is being amortized over the vesting period of six years; however, the expense will be prorated to the applicable vesting period if acceleration terms expedite the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense in the amount of $327,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, 217,783 stock options were available for issuance under the Incentive Plan. Stock options which were granted under the Option Plans, of which 3,015,127 shares are outstanding at December 31, 2001, generally vest over four or five years and expire ten years from the date granted. Options were granted at a price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. At December 31, 2001, no stock options were available for issuance under the Option Plans. The following table summarizes the activity and terms of outstanding options at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999:
2001 2000 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OPTIONS AVERAGE AVERAGE AVERAGE EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE PRICE OPTIONS PRICE OPTIONS PRICE --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options outstanding at 3,670,867 $8.71 2,598,119 $8.76 2,619,759 $ 7.37 beginning of year Granted 3,265,036 5.45 1,362,659 8.65 466,300 13.54 Exercised (201,922) 2.05 (61,856) 4.99 (388,555) 5.53 Expired/cancelled (605,344) 9.83 (228,055) 9.04 (99,385) 6.59 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options outstanding at end of year 6,128,637 $7.08 3,670,867 $8.75 2,598,119 $ 8.76 =========================================================================== Options exercisable at end of year 1,679,137 $8.60 1,289,717 $7.48 820,740 $ 6.35 ===========================================================================
41 Summary information about the Company's stock options outstanding at December 31, 2001 is as follows:
WEIGHTED WEIGHTED WEIGHTED AVERAGE AVERAGE EXERCISABLE AT AVERAGE RANGE OF EXERCISE OUTSTANDING AT REMAINING LIFE EXERCISE DECEMBER 31, EXERCISE PRICES DECEMBER 31, 2001 (IN YEARS) PRICE 2001 PRICE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $1.32 - $1.42 79,411 3.2 $ 1.33 79,411 $ 1.33 $2.19 - $4.37 243,505 6.5 $ 3.86 155,505 $ 3.71 $4.38 - $6.56 3,311,500 4.8 $ 5.45 58,000 $ 5.43 $6.57 - $8.74 1,338,019 5.7 $ 7.52 720,506 $ 7.04 $8.75 - $10.93 237,200 7.8 $ 9.71 103,734 $ 9.62 $10.94 - $13.10 581,600 6.4 $12.28 328,154 $12.20 $13.20 - $15.30 319,402 6.3 $13.82 215,827 $13.76 $21.86 18,000 6.3 $21.86 18,000 $21.86 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ 1.32 - $21.86 6,128,637 5.4 $ 7.08 1,679,137 $ 8.60 ==================================================================================================================
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company accounts for the plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25; however, the Company has computed for pro forma disclosure purposes the value of all options granted during 2001, 2000 and 1999 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 and using the following average assumptions:
2001 2000 1999 -------------------------------------------------- Risk-free interest rate 3.5%-7.2% 5.8%-7.2% 5.8%-7.2% Expected dividend yield 0% 0% 0% Expected option lives 4-6 years 4-6 years 4-6 years Expected volatility 33%-68% 33%-68% 33%-68%
The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $5.45, $5.47 and $8.43, respectively, per option. Had compensation expense for the plans been determined consistent with the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's reported and pro forma net income and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
2001 2000 1999 ------------------------------------------------- Net income (loss): As reported $(136,217) $27,618 $64,482 Pro forma $(140,709) $23,467 $61,481 Earnings per (loss) share - basic: As reported $(2.86) $0.57 $1.32 Pro forma $(2.96) $0.48 $1.25 Earnings per (loss) share - diluted: As reported $(2.86) $0.56 $1.20 Pro forma $(2.96) $0.48 $1.15
The effect on 2001, 2000 and 1999 pro forma net income, earnings per share - basic and earnings per share - diluted of expensing the estimated fair value of stock options is not necessarily representative of the effect on reported earnings for future years due to the vesting period of the stock options and the potential for issuance of additional stock options in future years. 42 11. RETIREMENT PLANS SAVINGS PLANS The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan to provide substantially all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees an opportunity to accumulate personal funds for their retirement. As determined by the provisions of the plan, the Company matches a certain percentage of each employee's voluntary contribution. The plan provides for a minimum contribution by the Company to the plan for all eligible employees of 1% of their salary. This contribution can be increased at the Company's discretion. All contributions made by the Company are made in cash and allocated to the funds selected by the employee. Company contributions to the plan were approximately $8,979,000, $5,899,000 and $3,970,000 for the years ending in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. PENSION PLANS The Company maintains pension plans for certain of its employees in the U.S. and Canada under collective bargaining agreements with unions representing these employees. The Company expects to continue to fund these plans based on governmental requirements, amounts deductible for income tax purposes and as needed to ensure that plan assets are sufficient to satisfy plan liabilities. As of December 31, 2001, plan assets consist primarily of government bonds, corporate bonds, equity and fixed income funds. SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLANS As a result of the acquisition of ABP, the Company assumed responsibility for the ABP supplemental executive retirement plans ("SERP") which provides benefits to certain former directors and executives of ABP. For accounting purposes, these plans are unfunded; however, ABP had purchased annuities to cover the benefits for certain participants. In 2001, the Company accelerated the benefit payments to all participants for whom there was no annuity. 43 The following table sets forth the financial status of the pension plans and the SERP and the amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 (in thousands):
PENSION PLANS SERP ------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------- Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $29,613 $28,693 $17,844 $ 18,077 Service cost 1,424 2,000 - - Interest cost 2,137 1,569 853 1,557 Actuarial gains and loss 1,418 3 - - Foreign currency exchange rate changes (1,056) (733) - - Benefits paid (1,987) (1,919) (9,655) (1,790) ------------------------------------------------------------- Benefit obligation at end of year 31,549 29,613 9,042 17,844 ------------------------------------------------------------- Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year 34,662 34,423 - - Foreign currency exchange rate changes (1,197) 1,574 - - Actual return on plan assets (286) (707) - - Employer contributions 1,744 1,291 - - Benefits paid (2,208) (1,919) - - ------------------------------------------------------------- Fair value of plan assets at end of year 32,715 34,662 - - ------------------------------------------------------------- Funded status 1,166 5,049 (9,042) 17,844 Unrecognized actuarial loss 7,260 3,124 - - Unrecognized prior service cost 249 368 - - Unrecognized transition asset (4,021) (4,711) - - ------------------------------------------------------------- Net amount recognized $ 4,654 $ 3,830 $(9,042) $(17,844) ============================================================= Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets: Prepaid benefit cost $ 4,283 $ 3,997 $ - $ - Accrued benefit liability (1,450) (446) (9,042) (17,844) Intangible asset 75 42 - - Deferred tax asset 672 91 - - Accumulated other comprehensive loss 1,074 146 - - ------------------------------------------------------------- Net amount recognized $ 4,654 $ 3,830 $(9,042) $(17,844) =============================================================
The components of the net periodic pension cost for the pension plans and the SERP were as follows (in thousands):
2001 2000 1999 -------------------------------------------------- Service cost $ 1,075 $ 2,000 $ 1,435 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 2,991 2,789 2,037 Expected return on plan assets (3,017) (2,963) (2,958) Net amortization and deferral (396) (400) (423) Recognized actuarial loss 36 31 37 Curtailment loss 129 38 - -------------------------------------------------- Net periodic pension expense $ 818 $ 1,495 $ 128 ==================================================
The assumptions used in computing the net pension cost and the funded status were as follows:
2001 2000 1999 ---------------------------------------------------- Weighted average discount rate 7.25% 7.50% 7.50% Expected long-term rate of return on assets 8.75 - 9% 8.75 - 9% 8.75 - 9% Rate of compensation increase 2 - 4% 2 - 4% 2 - 4%
44 The aggregate accumulated benefit obligation and aggregate fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $9.0 million and $7.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2001. The aggregate accumulated benefit obligation and aggregate fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $3.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2000. Certain other U.S. employees are included in multi-employer pension plans to which the Company makes contributions in accordance with the contractual union agreements. Such contributions are made on a monthly basis in accordance with the requirements of the plans and the actuarial computations and assumptions of the administrators of the plans. Contributions to multi-employer plans were $2.7 million, $2.6 million, and $3.6 million for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN The Company maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, which was frozen in December 2000. The Company has not made contributions to this plan since 1998. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan held 3,896,544 shares of the Company's common stock, all of which have been allocated to participant accounts. 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LEASES The Company leases buildings and equipment under operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through 2011. Certain leases include renewal and purchase options. At December 31, 2001, future minimum annual payments under non-cancelable lease agreements with original terms in excess of one year are as follows (in thousands): 2002 $ 33,844 2003 29,864 2004 27,049 2005 24,106 2006 18,439 Thereafter 32,066 -------------- Total $165,368 ==============
Aggregate future minimum rentals to be received under noncancelable subleases as of December 31, 2001 are approximately $4.5 million. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $32.7 million, $33.9 million and $24.8 million, respectively. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Company has limited concentrations of credit risk with respect to financial instruments. Temporary cash investments and other investments are placed with high credit quality institutions, and concentrations within accounts receivable are limited due to the Company's customer base and its dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. 45 LITIGATION The Company is party to various legal actions that are ordinary and incidental to its business. While the outcome of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the outcome of these various proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. 13. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. A reconciliation of the amounts included in the computation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
2001 2000 1999 --------------------------------------------------- Numerator: Numerator for basic earnings per share - income (loss) from continuing operations $(13,041) $34,209 $58,602 Interest on Convertible Notes - 4,951 5,254 --------------------------------------------------- Numerator for diluted earnings per share - income (loss) from continuing operations after assumed conversions $(13,041) $39,160 $63,856 =================================================== Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share - weighted average shares 47,562 48,789 48,990 Effects of dilutive securities: Conversion of Convertible Notes - 7,461 8,003 Stock options - 404 940 Other - 24 221 --------------------------------------------------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share - adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions 47,562 56,678 58,154 =================================================== Earnings (loss) per share: Basic $(0.27) $0.70 $1.20 =================================================== Diluted $(0.27) $0.69 $1.10 ===================================================
During the year ended December 31, 2001, interest, net of tax, on the Convertible Notes in the amount of $4,854,000 and shares of 7,319,000 that would be issued upon assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share due to the antidilutive effect on loss per share. In 2001, 2000 and 1999, outstanding options to purchase approximately 6,798,000, 3,266,000 and 1,658,000 common shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive. 14. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates in two principal business segments. The Commercial Printing segment specializes in printing annual reports, brand marketing collateral, catalogs, brochures, maps and guidebooks, calendars, financial communications and CD packaging. The Envelope segment manufactures customized and stock envelopes for billing and remittance, direct mail advertising, filing systems, photo processing, medical records and catalog orders. The Envelope segment is also a producer of specialty packaging products and a manufacturer of stock products for the resale market. Intersegment sales, which were at market prices, totaled $5.7 million and $4.1 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Intersegment sales in 1999 were not significant. 46 The following tables present certain business segment information for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):

Corporate expenses include corporate general and administrative expenses, lease expense, amortization expense of other intangible assets and goodwill, gains or losses on disposal of assets and other miscellaneous expenses. (b) Represents the noncash portion of restructuring and other asset impairment charges. (c) Identifiable assets are accumulated by facility within each business segment. Certain operating assets, which are under lease, are reported as business segment assets for evaluation purposes. The net book value of these assets has been eliminated by contra assets included with corporate assets in order to reconcile identifiable assets with the total assets of the Company. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, other assets and deferred tax assets.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On February 22, 2001, the Company sold Curtis 1000 Inc., an operation included in discontinued operations, for approximately $40 million. The estimated proceeds from the sale were not significantly different from the amount used to estimate the loss on disposal. 16.

The following condensed consolidating financial information illustrates the composition of the Parent Guarantor, Issuer, Guarantor Subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries comprise all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor. Management has determined that separate complete financial statements would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing the financial composition of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. In December 1998, Mail-Well I Corporation ("Issuer" or "MWI"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, and the only direct subsidiary of the Company, issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes ("Senior Notes") due in 2008. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the majority of the U.S. subsidiaries (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") of MWI, all of which are wholly owned, and by Mail-Well, Inc. ("Parent Guarantor"). The guarantees are joint and several, full, complete and unconditional. There are no material restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to transfer funds to MWI in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances, other than ordinary legal restrictions under corporate law, fraudulent transfer and bankruptcy laws. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method, wherein the investor company's share of earnings and income taxes applicable to the assumed distribution of such earnings are included in net income. In addition, investments increase in the amount of permanent contributions to subsidiaries and decrease in the amount of distributions from subsidiaries. The elimination entries eliminate the equity method investment in subsidiaries and the equity in earnings of subsidiaries, intercompany payables and receivables and other transactions between subsidiaries.
