C. 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.

D. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Total comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income, net currency
translation gains and losses and net unrealized gains and losses on cash flow
hedges. Total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and
2002 was $2,746 and $654.

E. 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.

F. 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
recorded a reversal of $103 of the reserve for severance costs. As of March 31,
2002, final severance payments have been paid out to 47 associates.

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

the sale of fixed assets. As of March 31, 2002, final severance payments have
been paid out to 18 associates.

As of December 31, 2002, all restructuring programs had been completed.

G. 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 option
and warrants had been determined based on their fair values at the grant date,
consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123:

H. NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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.

I. 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 March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, and the supplemental combining condensed statements of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 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 MARCH 31, 2003, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002

Net sales increased $7.6 million (12.5%) to $68.8 million. Image Transfer's
sales increased $5.1 million (10.2%) to $55.6 million, primarily as a result of
higher sales volume in Europe of $1.4 million and favorable foreign currency
rate changes of $3.3 million. Textile Products' sales increased $2.5 million
(23.2%) to $13.2 million, primarily as a result of higher sales volume in Europe
of $1.1 million and favorable foreign currency rate changes of $1.4 million.

Gross profit increased $2.7 million (12.0%) to $24.7 million. As a percentage of
net sales, gross profit declined slightly to 35.9% for the three months ended
March 31, 2003, compared to 36.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2002.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased $2.1 million
(17.3%) to $14.5 million. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased to 21.1%
from 20.3%. Changes in foreign currency rates increased SG&A costs by $0.9
million in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2002. SG&A
costs 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 has been recorded in the
first quarter ended of 2002 for relocation of machinery and equipment and
write-off of abandoned assets.

Operating profit increased $0.7 million (7.4%) to $9.7 million. As a percentage
of net sales, operating profit decreased to 14.1% for the three months ended
March 31, 2003, from 14.7% for the comparable period in 2002. Image Transfer's
operating profit decreased $0.1 million (1.4%) to $9.6 million. As a percentage
of net sales, Image Transfer's operating profit decreased to 17.2% for the three
months ended March 31, 2003, from 19.2% in 2002. Textile Products' operating
profit increased $0.6 million (54.6%) to $1.6 million. As a percentage of net
sales, Textile Products' operating profit increased to 11.8% for the three
months ended March 31, 2003, from 9.4% in 2002.

Other income was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003,
compared to other expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
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.

The effective tax rate was 37.6% and 39.2% in 2003 and 2002.

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


                                       17

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.

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 $2.4 million and $2.1 million for the quarters ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002.

As of March 31, 2003, there was $10.0 million outstanding under the Revolving
Credit Facility and the Company had $9.5 million available under the Revolving
Credit Facility (calculated by applying the applicable borrowing base
limitation). The Company's aggregate indebtedness at March 31, 2003, is $254.1
million and the aggregate liquidation preferences of the Exchangeable Preferred
Stock is $64.0 million and the Convertible Preferred Stock is $68.5 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 and sales in
designated currencies other than their functional currency. 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. In addition, the Company has intercompany loans outstanding
with certain international subsidiaries in their local currencies, exposing it
to the effect of changes in exchange rates at loan issue and loan repayment
dates. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts
to protect it against such foreign exchange movements. The contract value of
these foreign


                                       18
<PAGE>

exchange contracts was $11.5 million at March 31, 2003 and $10.1 million at
December 31, 2002. These contracts generally expire within three to twelve
months. Foreign currency (gains) losses, included in other (income) expense,
were $(0.8) million in 2003 and $0.2 million in 2002.

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. Pressroom Chemicals is exposed to changes in the cost of certain
petroleum-based components. The largest raw material component in Pressroom
Chemicals' 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. 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 March
31, 2003. To the best of management's knowledge, there were no changes in the
internal control and disclosure control systems subsequent to March 31, 2003,
that would significantly affect the control systems.
