                               ========         ========
</TABLE>

C.       LONG-TERM DEBT

On September 16, 2003, the Company issued $135,000 of senior secured debt under
a $155,000 Senior Secured Credit Facility to refinance its existing $100,000
11-1/8% Senior Notes and repay its outstanding $24,850 term loan and $10,750
revolving credit facility. The Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit
Agreement consists of a $20,000 5-year Revolving Credit Facility, a Tranche A
(euro)26,577 ($30,000 equivalent at issuance) 5-year Term Loan and a Tranche B
$105,000 6-year Term Loan. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $10,000
letter of credit subfacility ($455 of letters of credit were outstanding at
September 30, 2003) and a $2,000 swing line loan subfacility. The Company issued
a notice of redemption for the $100,000 11-1/8% Senior Notes and redeemed the
Senior Notes in October at a call price of $101,236. The proceeds received from
the debt issuance that were used to redeem the Senior Notes are classified as a
long-term asset as of September 30, 2003. In the third quarter of 2003, the
Company recorded a loss of $542 on the write-off of the remaining deferred
financing fees related to the existing credit agreement and will record an
additional loss of $2,241 in the fourth quarter of 2003 to write-off an
additional $1,005 of deferred financing fees related to the Senior Notes when
the debt is retired and to record the loss resulting from the $1,236 call
premium.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires a commitment fee of 1/2% a year on
the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest on the Tranche A
Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility is based on the banks' base rate
plus 2.75% or the LIBOR rate plus 3.75% and is subject to change based on the
debt leverage of the Company (5.88% at September 30, 2003). Interest rates on
LIBOR borrowings are fixed for one, two, three or six month periods at the
Company's discretion. Interest on

                                       6

<PAGE>

the Tranche B Term Loan is based on the banks' base rate plus 3.50% or the LIBOR
rate plus 4.50% (5.62% at September 30, 2003).

The Tranche A Term Loan matures in 20 consecutive quarterly installments and the
Tranche B Term Loan matures in 24 consecutive quarterly installments, commencing
on December 31, 2003. Principal payments on the Tranche A and the Tranche B Term
Loans are to be made in the following amounts (using U.S. dollar equivalents at
the issuance date for the Tranche A Term Loan denominated in euros):
installments 1-4, $637 per installment; installments 5-8, $1,013 per
installment; installments 9-12, $1,387 per installment; installments 13-16,
$2,513 per installment; installments 17-20, $3,262 per installment; and
installments 21-24, $24,938 per installment.

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement includes typical covenants, including
maximum total debt to EBITDA, maximum senior debt to EBITDA, minimum interest
coverage, minimum fixed charge coverage and limitations on capital expenditures
and distributions. The Agreement also requires 75% of excess cash flows (as
defined) be used to pay down the Term Loans.

D.       REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

The Company's 12 1/4% Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock require that dividends
must be paid in cash after March 15, 2003. The Company has not paid cash
dividends after March 15, 2003, because of certain restrictions in the Company's
Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Notes Indentures limiting the ability to pay
cash dividends. If not paid for four consecutive quarters, the holders of the
Exchangeable Preferred Stock have the right to elect two directors to the Board
of Directors until the dividends in arrears have been paid. All dividends
through March 15, 2003, have been in the form of additional fully-paid and
non-assessable shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock. Dividends-in-arrears are
$3,979 as of September 30, 2003, which are included in the redeemable preferred
stock balance.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." This statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and
requires that the Company's redeemable preferred stock be recorded in the same
manner as long-term debt. The Company adopted the statement as of July 1, 2003.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2003, the Company reflects the redeemable
preferred stock as a liability and accrued dividends as interest expense. This
statement has no effect on the cash flows of the Company, net loss available to
common shareholders or the Company's compliance with its debt covenants.

E.       INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate is significantly different from the
statutory rates in effect as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 150 and the
inclusion of the dividends on the redeemable preferred stock in income (loss)
before income taxes. The non-deductible preferred stock dividends cause a
significant difference between book income and taxable income subsequent to the
adoption of SFAS No. 150.

F.       BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company produces precision-engineered products, specializing in the design
and customization of consumable image-transfer products for the graphic arts
(printing) industry and consumable fiber handling products for the textile
industry. The Image Transfer segment designs, manufactures and markets
high-quality printing blankets and sleeves, pressroom chemicals and automatic
dampening systems used primarily in the offset and flexographic printing
industries. The Textile Products segment manufactures and markets precision
engineered rubber cots and aprons sold to textile yarn spinners and other
engineered rubber products sold to diverse markets.

Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit results compared to
the annual operating plan. Intersegment sales and transfers are not material.

The Company manages the two segments as separate strategic business units. They
are managed separately because each business unit requires different
manufacturing processes, technology and marketing strategies.

G.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Total comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss), net
currency translation gains and losses and net unrealized gains and losses on
cash flow hedges. Total comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002 was $(3,288) and $1,993. Total comprehensive income
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was $2,783 and $7,805. The
adoption of SFAS No. 150 is the primary cause of the difference between 2003 and
2002 amounts of comprehensive income (loss).

H.       CONTINGENCIES

Claims have been made against the Company for the costs of environmental
remedial measures taken or to be taken. Reserves for such liabilities have been
established and no insurance recoveries have been anticipated in the
determination of the reserves. In management's opinion, the aforementioned
claims will be resolved without material adverse effect on the results of
operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company. The Company's
previous parent and its parent, PolyOne, have agreed to indemnify the Company
for certain of the costs associated with these matters.

I.       RESTRUCTURING COSTS

A pre-tax charge of $500 was recorded in the first quarter of 2001 for severance
and termination costs for relocating the Textile Products operations from the
Asheville, North Carolina, facility to the Greenville, South Carolina, facility.
During the first quarter of 2002, the Company incurred additional relocation
costs of $109, recorded a charge of $157 for write-off of fixed assets and

J.       STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the
Company applies the intrinsic value method of recognition and measurement under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 to its stock options and warrants. No
compensation expense related to employee stock options or warrants issued to
directors is reflected in net income. The following table illustrates the effect
on net income if compensation cost for all outstanding and unvested stock
options and warrants had been determined based on their fair values at the grant
date, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123:

K.       NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS
Nos. 141, "Business Combinations" and 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." These statements prohibit amortization of goodwill for periods
beginning after December 15, 2001. Instead an annual review of the
recoverability of the goodwill and intangible assets is required. These
Statements were adopted as of January 1, 2002. As of January 1, 2002, the
Company recognized pre-tax income of $1,010 for the cumulative effect of the
change in accounting principle for the amount of the unamortized deferred credit
related to the excess over cost arising from the TPO acquisition.

L.       SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION

The Company has outstanding $100,000, 11-1/8% Senior Notes and $115,000, 9-1/2%
Senior Subordinated Notes (collectively, the "Notes"). The Company has no assets
or operations other than its wholly-owned investment in Day International, Inc.
("Day International" or "Guarantor"). Day International has provided a full and
unconditional guarantee of the Notes. The wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries of
Day International are not guarantors with respect to the Notes and do not have
any credit arrangements senior to the Notes. The only intercompany eliminations
are the normal intercompany eliminations with regard to intercompany sales and
the Company's investment in the wholly-owned non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Intercompany notes are in place, which effectively transfers the interest
expense from the Company to Day International. The following are the
supplemental combining condensed balance sheets as of September 30, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, and the supplemental combining condensed statements of
operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003
and 2002, with the investments in the subsidiaries accounted for using the
equity method. Separate complete financial statements of the Guarantor are not
presented because management has determined that they are not material to the
investors.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933. These are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, including those identified below, which could affect the
Company's actual results and cause such results to differ materially from those
expressed in forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "anticipate,"
"expect," "intend," "will likely result," "will continue," and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements include but are not limited to (i) the effect of
leverage, including the limitations imposed by the Company's various debt
instruments; (ii) risks related to significant operations in foreign countries,
including the translation of operating results to the U.S. dollar; (iii) the
timely development and market acceptance of new products; (iv) the impact of
competitive products and pricing; (v) the effect of changing general and
industry specific economic conditions; (vi) the impact of environmental
regulations; and (vii) the potential for technology obsolescence.

While made in good faith and with a reasonable basis based on information
currently available to the Company's management, there is no assurance that any
such forward-looking statements will be achieved or accomplished. The Company is
under no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to the extent it
becomes aware that they are not achieved or likely to be achieved for any
reason.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 2002

Net sales increased $3.2 million (4.7%) to $70.1 million. Image Transfer's sales
increased $4.4 million (8.1%) to $58.4 million, primarily as a result of higher
sales volume in the United States of $2.7 million and in Europe of $0.5 million
and positive foreign currency rate changes of $2.1 million offset by lower

                                       20

<PAGE>
 sales volumes in the Pacific Rim of $0.8 million. The higher U.S. Image
Transfer sales volume was primarily as a result of sales from an acquisition in
the first quarter of 2003 of $0.8 million and from higher sales volumes across
substantially all product lines. European sales volume increased primarily from
market share gains in the chemical products business in the United Kingdom and
Germany. Textile Products' sales decreased $1.2 million (9.5%) to $11.6 million,
primarily as a result of lower sales volume in the United States of $1.6 million
and in Europe of $0.5 million offset by positive foreign currency rate changes
of $0.9 million. The lower U.S. Textile Products sales volume is primarily due
to reduced demand in the U.S. textile industry as a result of weak consumer
demand for textile and apparel products coupled with increased imports of low
cost goods from Asia and South America. The ongoing restructuring of the U.S.
textile manufacturing industry has resulted in further consolidation and closure
of yarn spinning mills as well as weaving facilities. Weak sales have forced
textile manufacturers to cut expenses and reduce inventories, which have had a
direct effect on reducing Textile Products' sales. The lower European Textile
Products' sales are as a result of lower sales by original equipment
manufacturers ("OEMs") and lower textile mill activity in Europe.

Gross profit increased $0.6 million (2.6%) to $25.0 million. As a percentage of
net sales, gross profit decreased to 35.7% for the three months ended September
30, 2003, compared to 36.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The
decrease in the gross profit percentage was due primarily to underabsorbed fixed
overhead costs of Textile Products resulting from the lower sales volumes and
higher spending for research and development for Image Transfer.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased $0.9 million
(6.0%) to $15.2 million. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased to 21.8%
from 21.5%. Changes in foreign currency rates increased SG&A costs by $0.6
million in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002. SG&A
costs also increased as a result of higher insurance costs and higher selling
and distribution costs resulting from higher sales levels.

Operating profit decreased $0.2 million (2.5%) to $9.3 million. As a percentage
of net sales, operating profit decreased to 13.3% for the three months ended
September 30, 2003, from 14.3% for the comparable period in 2002. Image
Transfer's operating profit increased $0.9 million (9.7%) to $9.9 million. As a
percentage of net sales, Image Transfer's operating profit increased to 17.0%
for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from 16.7% in 2002. Textile
Products' operating profit decreased $1.0 million (48.2%) to $1.0 million. As a
percentage of net sales, Textile Products' operating profit decreased to 8.8%
for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from 15.5% in 2002.

Interest expense increased $5.4 million as a result of the adoption of SFAS No.
150 and the non-deductible preferred stock dividends now reflected as interest
expense of $4.9 million and a loss of $0.5 million on the write-off of the
remaining deferred financing fees related to the existing credit agreement. The
Company will record an additional loss of $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of
2003 to write-off an additional $1.0 million of deferred financing fees related
to the Senior Notes when the debt is retired and to record the loss resulting
from the $1.2 million call premium.

Other income was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003,
compared to other income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September
30, 2002. The other (income) expense is primarily due to foreign currency
transaction (gains) losses incurred in the normal course of international
subsidiaries doing business in other than their functional currency as well as a
result of intercompany financing arrangements.

                                       21

The Company recorded income tax expense on a loss before income taxes in the
third quarter of 2003. The effective tax rate for 2003 is affected by the
adoption of SFAS No. 150 and the non-deductible preferred stock dividends now
reflected as interest expense. Adjusted for the preferred stock dividends, the
effective tax rate would be 39.6% in 2003. The effective tax rate for the third
quarter of 2002 was 41.4%.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." This statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and
requires that the Company's redeemable preferred stock be recorded in the same
manner as long-term debt. The Company adopted the statement as of July 1, 2003.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2003, the Company reflects the redeemable
preferred stock as a liability and accrued dividends as interest expense. This
statement has no effect on the net loss available to common shareholders, cash
flows of the Company or the Company's compliance with its debt covenants.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003, COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 2002

Net sales increased $16.9 million (8.8%) to $209.0 million. Image Transfer's
sales increased $15.3 million (9.8%) to $171.5 million, primarily as a result of
higher sales volume in Europe of $4.3 million and in the United States of $3.6
million and positive foreign currency rate changes of $8.7 million. Europe sales
volume increased primarily from market share gains in the pressroom chemical
business in the United Kingdom and Germany. The higher U.S. Image Transfer sales
volume was primarily as a result of sales from an acquisition in the first
quarter of 2003 of $1.9 million and from higher sales volumes across
substantially all product lines. Textile Products' sales increased $1.6 million
(4.4%) to $37.5 million, primarily as a result of positive foreign currency rate
changes of $3.7 million and higher sales volumes in Europe of $0.4 million,
offset by lower sales volume in the United States of $2.5 million. The lower
U.S. Textile Products sales volume is primarily a result of reduced production
of spun yarn in the United States as yarn production continues to shift to
lower-cost areas outside the United States, coupled with the weak consumer
demand for textile and apparel products. Additionally, U.S. textile
manufacturers have continued to face financial difficulties resulting in
bankruptcies and closure of facilities, expense reductions and inventory cuts.
The European Textile Products' sales volume has increased primarily as a result
of increased OEM sales over the prior year, more than offsetting weaker sales to
European textile mills. Textile Products' sales to Asian markets are steady, but
typically at lower unit values.

Gross profit increased $4.2 million (6.0%) to $74.5 million. As a percentage of
net sales, gross profit decreased to 35.6% for the nine months ended September
30, 2003, compared to 36.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The
decrease in the gross profit percentage was due primarily to increased sales in
non-U.S. markets where margins are typically lower combined with higher spending
for research & development and higher depreciation expense resulting from
capital projects completed in 2002.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased $4.5 million
(10.9%) to $45.2 million. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased to 21.6%
from 21.2%. Changes in foreign currency rates increased SG&A costs by $2.5
million in the first nine months of 2003 compared to the first nine

                                       22

<PAGE>

months of 2002. SG&A costs also increased as a result of higher insurance costs
and higher selling and distribution costs from higher sales levels.

A pre-tax charge of $0.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2001 for
severance and termination costs to relocate the Textile Products operations from
its Asheville, North Carolina, facility to its Greenville, South Carolina,
facility. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company reversed $0.1 million of
the reserve. Additionally, a pre-tax charge of $0.3 was recorded in the first
quarter ended of 2002 for relocation of machinery and equipment and write-off of
abandoned assets.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company ceased operations at its Transfer
Media facility in Longwood, Florida. A pre-tax charge of $3,010 was recorded in
2001 for severance costs for 55 associates, write-off of abandoned assets and
costs related to closing the facility. As of June 30, 2002, final severance
payments had been paid to all associates and the remaining reserve of $45 for
severance costs was reversed in the second quarter of 2002.

Operating profit decreased $0.2 million (0.6%) to $27.9 million. As a percentage
of net sales, operating profit decreased to 13.3% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, from 14.6% for the comparable period in 2002. Image
Transfer's operating profit increased $0.9 million (3.2%) to $28.6 million. As a
percentage of net sales, Image Transfer's operating profit decreased to 16.6%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from 17.7% in 2002. Textile
Products' operating profit decreased $0.9 million (19.0%) to $4.0 million. As a
percentage of net sales, Textile Products' operating profit decreased to 10.7%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, from 13.8% in 2002.

Interest expense increased $5.4 million as a result of the adoption of SFAS No.
150 and the non-deductible preferred stock dividends now reflected as interest
expense of $4.9 million and as a result of a loss of $0.5 million on the
write-off of the remaining deferred financing fees related to the existing
credit agreement, offset by lower interest expense resulting from lower interest
rates and lower borrowing levels. The Company will record an additional loss of
$2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 to write-off an additional $1.0
million of deferred financing fees related to the Senior Notes when the debt is
retired and to record the loss resulting from the $1.2 million call premium.

Other income was $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,
compared to other income of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2002. The other (income) expense is primarily due to foreign currency
transaction losses incurred in the normal course of international subsidiaries
doing business in other than their functional currency as well as a result of
intercompany financing arrangements. Other income in 2003 includes a loss of
$1.1 million from the sale of the South African business, a gain of $0.9 million
from the sale of excess land in Mauldin, South Carolina and a loss of $0.5
million on the sale and disposal of equipment from the Longwood, Florida,
facility.

The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2003 was 101.0% compared to
40.0% for 2002. The effective tax rate for 2003 is affected by the adoption of
SFAS No. 150 and the non-deductible preferred stock dividends now reflected as
interest expense. Adjusted for the preferred stock dividends, the effective tax
rate would be 39.0%.

As of January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS Nos. 141, "Business
Combinations" and 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and recognized
pre-tax income of $1.0 million for the

cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle for the amount of the
unamortized deferred credit related to the excess over cost arising from the TPO
acquisition.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." This statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and
requires that the Company's redeemable preferred stock be recorded in the same
manner as long-term debt. The Company adopted the statement as of July 1, 2003.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2003, the Company reflects the redeemable
preferred stock as a liability and accrued dividends as interest expense. This
statement has no effect on the cash flows of the Company, net loss available to
common shareholders or the Company's compliance with its debt covenants.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has historically generated sufficient funds from its operations to
fund its working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The Company is
able to maintain relatively low levels of working capital as its converters and
distributors typically carry a greater portion of inventory and finance
receivables of the Company's end users.

Capital expenditures were $5.5 million and $5.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

On September 16, 2003, the Company issued $135.0 million of senior secured debt
under a $155.0 million Senior Secured Credit Facility to refinance its existing
$100.0 million 11-1/8% Senior Notes and repay its outstanding $24.9 million term
loan and $10.7 million revolving credit facility. The Second Amended and
Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement consists of a $20.0 million 5-year
Revolving Credit Facility, a Tranche A (euro)26.6 million ($30.0 million
equivalent at issuance) 5-year Term Loan and a Tranche B $105.0 million 6-year
Term Loan. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $10.0 million letter of
credit subfacility ($0.5 million of letters of credit were outstanding at
September 30, 2003) and a $2.0 million swing line loan subfacility. The Company
issued a notice for redemption of the $100.0 million 11-1/8% Senior Notes and
redeemed the Senior Notes in October at the call price of $101.2 million. The
proceeds received from the debt issuance that were used to redeem the Senior
Notes are classified as a long-term asset as of September 30, 2003.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires a commitment fee of 1/2% a year on
the unused portion of the revolving line of credit. Interest on the Tranche A
Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility is based on the banks' base rate
plus 2.75% or the LIBOR rate plus 3.75% and is subject to change based on the
debt leverage of the Company. Interest rates on LIBOR borrowings are fixed for
one, two, three or six month periods at the Company's discretion. Interest on
the Tranche B Term Loan is based on the banks' base rate plus 3.5% or the LIBOR
rate plus 4.5%.

The Tranche A Term Loan matures in 20 consecutive quarterly installments and the
Tranche B Term Loan matures in 24 consecutive quarterly installments, commencing
on December 31, 2003. Principal payments are to be made in the following amounts
(using U.S. dollar equivalents at the issuance date for the Tranche A Term Loan
denominated in euros): installments 1-4, $0.6 million per installment;
installments 5-8, $1.0 million per installment; installments 9-12, $1.4 million
per installment;

                                       24

<PAGE>

installments 13-16, $2.5 million per installment; installments 17-20, $3.3
million per installment; and installments 21-24, $24.9 million per installment.

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement includes typical covenants, including
maximum total debt to EBITDA, maximum senior debt to EBITDA, minimum interest
coverage, minimum fixed charge coverage and limitations on capital expenditures
and distributions. The Agreement also requires 75% of excess cash flows (as
defined) be used to pay down the Term Loans.

As of September 30, 2003, there were no outstanding borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility and the Company had $19.5 million available under the
Revolving Credit Facility. The Company's aggregate indebtedness at September 30,
2003, is $351.1 million, including the $100.0 million Senior Notes redeemed in
October. At September 30, 2003, the Company held $98.0 million of cash for
retirement of the Senior Notes. The aggregate liquidation preference of the
Exchangeable Preferred Stock is $68.3 million and the Convertible Preferred
Stock is $74.2 million. The Company is highly leveraged. The Company's ability
to operate its business, service its debt requirements and reduce its total debt
will depend upon its future operating performance, which will be affected by
prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors,
certain of which are beyond its control, as well as the availability of
revolving credit borrowings. See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for a
more extensive discussion of liquidity and capital resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

The Company conducts a significant amount of business and has operating and
sales facilities in countries outside the United States. As a result, the
Company is subject to business risks inherent in non-U.S. activities, including
political uncertainty, import and export limitations, exchange controls and
currency fluctuations. The Company believes risks related to its foreign
operations are mitigated due to the political and economic stability of the
countries in which its largest foreign operations are located, the stand-alone
nature of the operations, the Company's limited net asset exposure, forward
foreign exchange contract practices and pricing flexibility. Thus, while changes
in foreign currency values do affect earnings, the longer-term economic effect
of these changes should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Certain of the Company's international subsidiaries make purchases in foreign
currencies, mainly intercompany transactions. As a result, they are subject to
transaction exposures that arise from foreign exchange movements between the
date that the foreign currency transaction is recorded and the date it is
consummated. The Company has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to
protect it against such foreign exchange movements. The contract value of these
foreign exchange contracts was approximately $13.3 million at September 30, 2003
and $10.1 million at December 31, 2002. These contracts generally expire within
three to twelve months. Foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, included in
other (income) expense, were $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and $(1.2) million and zero for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

                                       25

<PAGE>

INTEREST RATE RISKS

The Company is subject to market risk from exposure to changes in the interest
rates based on its financing activities. The Company utilizes a mix of debt
maturities along with both fixed- and variable-rate debt to manage its exposure
to changes in interest rates and to minimize interest expense. The Company does
not expect interest rate changes to have a material effect on income or cash
flows in 2003, although there can be no assurance that interest rates will not
materially change.

COMMODITY RISKS

Rubber polymers and fabrics are key components in most of the Image Transfer and
Textile products. The Company is exposed to changes in the costs of these
components. In addition, Image Transfer's pressroom chemical products are
exposed to changes in the cost of certain petroleum-based components. The
largest raw material component in the pressroom chemical products is petroleum
distillates, such as aliphatics and aromatics. When commodity prices increase,
the Company has historically passed on increases to its customers to maintain
its profit margins. Conversely, when commodity prices decline, the Company
generally lowers its sales prices to meet competitive pressures. The Company is
evaluating the impact of the recent increase in petroleum prices on its raw
material costs and in some markets already has instituted price increases to
offset the impact of these increases. Because the Company has historically been
able to raise sales prices to offset higher costs, management believes that a
10% change in the cost of its components could have a short-term impact until
sales price increases take effect, but overall would not have a material effect
on income or cash flows for a fiscal year.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls designed to
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly recorded and
summarized so that reliable financial records and reports can be prepared and
assets safeguarded. In addition, a system of disclosure controls is maintained
to ensure that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported in a timely manner to management responsible for the
preparation and reporting of the Company's financial information.

Management assesses the internal control and disclosure control systems as being
effective as they encompass material matters for the three months ended
September 30, 2003. To the best of management's knowledge, there were no changes
in the internal control and disclosure control systems during the quarter ended
September 30, 2003, that would materially affect the control systems.
