MULTI-COLOR CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(In thousands except per share data)



|Item 1. | Financial Statements (continued)
|------- | --------------------------------



|1. | Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------

The Company:

Multi-Color Corporation (the Company), headquartered in Sharonville, Ohio, supplies a complete line of label solutions and
offers a variety of technical and graphic services and engravings to leading producers of home and personal care, wine and spirits, food and beverage and specialty consumer products. The Company has manufacturing facilities located in North America,
Australia, and South Africa.

On February 29, 2008, the Company acquired Collotype International Holdings Pty. Ltd. (Collotype) which is
headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia. Collotype is the worlds leading and highly awarded pressure sensitive wine and spirits label manufacturer and a growing provider of labels in the fast-moving consumer goods marketplace in Australia.
Collotype has manufacturing operations in Australia, South Africa and the United States.

Prior to June 2007, the Company was organized into two
segments within the packaging industry: Decorating Solutions and Packaging Services. The Decorating Solutions segments primary operations involved the design and printing of labels, while the Packaging Services segment provided promotional
packaging, assembling and fulfillment services. On July 2, 2007, the Company completed the sale of Quick Pak, whose operating results were reported as the Packaging Services segment. Accordingly, the results of Quick Pak are now presented as
discontinued operations for all periods in the consolidated financial statements and the Company no longer reports any segment results as it now only has one business segment.

Basis of Presentation:

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Although certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The information furnished in these condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all estimates and adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods reported.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements:

In preparing
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as
well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company recognizes revenue on sales of products when the customer receives title to the goods, which is generally upon shipment or delivery depending on sales terms. Revenues are generally denominated in the currency of the country from
which the product is shipped. All revenues are net of applicable returns and discounts.

Inventories:

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value and are maintained using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) or specific identification method. Excess and
obsolete cost reductions are generally established based on inventory age.

Property, Plant and Equipment:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.

Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:



|                        |  |            
|----------------------- |  | -----------
|Buildings               |  | 20-39 years
|Machinery and equipment |  | 3-15 years 
|Computers               |  | 3-5 years  
|Furniture and fixtures  |  | 5-10 years 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

Goodwill is not amortized and the Company tests goodwill annually, as of the last day of February of each fiscal year, for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to its carrying
amount. Impairment is also tested when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets carrying values may be greater than the fair values. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method,
which estimates the economic benefit, over periods of up to thirteen years. Intangible assets are also tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets carrying values may be greater than the fair values.

Income Taxes:

Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are provided for temporary differences between the tax basis and reported basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments by recognizing
derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value and recognizing the resulting gains or losses as adjustments to earnings or other comprehensive earnings. The Company does not hold or issue derivative
financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company manages interest costs using a mixture of fixed rate and variable rate debt.
Additionally, the Company enters into interest rate swaps whereby it agrees to exchange with a counterparty, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional
principal amount.

The Companys interest swaps have been designated as effective cash flow hedges at inception and on an ongoing quarterly basis
and therefore, any changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive earnings. If a hedge or portion thereof is determined to be ineffective, any changes in fair value would be recorded in the consolidated income statement. See Note 7.

Fair Value Disclosure:

The carrying value of financial instruments approximates fair value.

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to
sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the Company uses a fair value estimating three-level
hierarchy that prioritizes the use of observable inputs. The three levels are:

Level 1  Quoted market prices in active markets for
identical assets and liabilities

Level 2  Observable inputs other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets
and liabilities

Level 3  Unobservable inputs

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment.

The Company
has two interest rate swaps, a $40,000 non-amortizing swap and a $40,000 amortizing swap, to convert variable interest rates on a portion of outstanding debt to fixed interest rates. The Company adjusts the carrying value of these derivatives to
their estimated fair values and records the adjustment in other comprehensive earnings.

Foreign Exchange:

The functional currency of each of the Companys subsidiaries is the currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates. Assets and liabilities of foreign
operations are translated using period end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during each period. Translation gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive earnings as a component
of stockholders equity.

Stock Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock based compensation based on the fair value of the award which is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Companys stock based compensation expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $553 and $357, respectively. The Companys stock based compensation expense for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $1,103 and $724, respectively.

Subsequent Events:

The Company evaluated subsequent events
through November 9, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no material subsequent events had occurred through this date requiring revision to the financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In August 2009, the FASB issued
revised accounting guidance to reduce ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Among other provisions, this update provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market for
the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation technique that uses either the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or
for similar liabilities when traded as assets or a technique based on the amount the entity would pay on the measurement date to transfer an identical liability. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after August 28,
2009, which for the Company is September 30, 2009. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company.

##### Table of Contents

In June 2009, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities which
requires an enterprise to determine whether its variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The new guidance also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This guidance is effective for an entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, which for the Company is April 1, 2010. This guidance is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company.

In June 2009, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance, which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. This guidance
changes the way U.S. GAAP is referenced. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC as of July 1, 2009.



|2. | Earnings Per Common Share Data
|-- | ------------------------------

The computation of basic
earnings per common share (EPS) is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares, and if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding
during the period. Potential common shares outstanding during the period consist of restricted shares and the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and are reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock
method. The Company excluded 430 and 203 shares in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, from the computation of diluted EPS because these shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The Company excluded 544 and 205
shares in the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, from the computation of diluted EPS because these shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the basic and diluted EPS computations (shares in thousands):

On February 29, 2008 and in connection with the Collotype acquisition, the Company executed a new
five-year $200 million credit agreement with a consortium of bank lenders (Credit Facility). The new Credit Facility contains an election to increase the facility by up to an additional $50 million and the Company terminated its previous $50 million
credit facility. At September 30, 2009, the aggregate principal amount of $185 million is available under the Credit Facility through: (i) a $110 million five-year revolving credit facility (U.S. Revolving Credit Facility);
(ii) the Australian dollar equivalent of a $40 million five-year revolving credit facility (Australian Sub-Facility); and (iii) a $35 million term loan facility (Term Loan Facility), which amortizes $10 million per
year.

The Credit Facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. Loans under the U.S. Revolving Credit
Facility and Term Loan Facility will bear interest at either: (i) the greater of (a) Bank of Americas prime rate in effect from time to time; and (b) the federal funds rate in effect from time to time plus 0.5%; or (ii) the
applicable London interbank offered rate plus the applicable margin for such loans which ranges from 0.75% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing. Loans under the Australian Sub-Facility bear interest at the
Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (BBSY) plus the applicable margin for such loans, which ranges from 0.75% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing.

Available borrowings under the Credit Facility at September 30, 2009 consisted of $62,000 under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and $30,448 under the Australian Sub-Facility. At September 30, 2009, the
Company had one outstanding letter of credit totaling $200 for the purchase of equipment.

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and
warranties as well as customary negative and affirmative covenants which requires the Company to maintain the following financial covenants: (i) a minimum consolidated net worth; (ii) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.00,
stepping down to 3.00 to 1.00 at December 31, 2010 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter; and (iii) a minimum consolidated interest charge coverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00. The Credit Facility contains customary mandatory and optional
prepayment provisions, customary events of default, and is secured by the capital stock of subsidiaries, intercompany debt and all of the Companys property and assets, except for real property.

|5. | Major Customers
|-- | ---------------

During the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, sales to major customers (those exceeding 10% of the Companys net revenues) approximated 29% and 33% respectively, of the Companys consolidated net revenues. Approximately 18% and 21% of revenues for the
three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively, were to the Procter & Gamble Company. Approximately 11% and 12% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively, were to the Miller
Brewing Company.

During the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, sales to major customers (those exceeding 10% of the Companys net
revenues) approximated 30% and 32% respectively, of the Companys consolidated net revenues. Approximately 17% and 20% of revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively, were to the Procter & Gamble
Company. Approximately 13% and 12% of revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively, were to the Miller Brewing Company. In addition, accounts receivable balances of such major customers approximated 9% and 17% of
the Companys total accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively.

The loss or substantial
reduction of the business of any of the major customers could have a material adverse impact on the Companys results of operations and cash flows.



|6. | Income Taxes
|-- | ------------

The Company files income tax returns in the
U.S. federal jurisdiction, various foreign jurisdictions and various state and local jurisdictions where the statutes of limitations generally range from three to five years. At September 30, 2009, the Company was examined by the Internal
Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal 2005. In Australia, the Company is
currently open to examination back to fiscal 1999, and in South Africa, the Company is open to examination back to fiscal 2003.

The benefits of tax
positions are not recorded unless it is more likely than not the tax position would be sustained upon challenge by the appropriate tax authorities. Tax benefits that are more likely than not to be sustained are measured at the largest amount of
benefit that is cumulatively greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized.

As of September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company had a
liability of $3,908 and $3,821 respectively, recorded for unrecognized tax benefits for U.S. federal, state and foreign tax jurisdictions. The gross amount of interest and penalties associated with the liability at September 30, 2009 and
March 31, 2009, respectively, was $1,082 and $926. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is classified in other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, as payment of cash is not anticipated within one year of the
balance sheet date for any significant amounts. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate is $3,908. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that approximately $37 of
unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2009 will decrease within the next 12 months due to the lapse of statute of limitations and settlements of certain foreign and state income tax matters.



|7. | Derivative Financial Instruments
|-- | --------------------------------

Historically, the Company
has used interest rate swap agreements (Swaps) in order to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations under variable rate borrowings. Swaps involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments and do not represent an actual
exchange of the underlying notional amounts between the two parties. The Swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges, with the effective portion of the gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.



-11-



---

##### Table of Contents

In April 2008, the Company entered into two Swaps, a $40,000 non-amortizing Swap and a $40,000 amortizing Swap, to
convert variable interest rates on a portion of outstanding debt to fixed interest rates. The Swaps expire in 2013 and result in interest payments based on fixed rates of 3.45% for the non-amortizing Swap and 3.04% for the amortizing Swap, plus the
applicable margin per the requirements in the Credit Facility ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio. The fixed interest rates at September 30, 2009 were 4.42% and 4.83% on the amortizing and non-amortizing
Swaps, respectively. The balance of the amortizing Swap was $28,000 at September 30, 2009.

The Swaps were designated as highly effective cash flow
hedges, with the effective portion of gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in other comprehensive earnings and are measured on an ongoing basis. At September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the fair value of the Swaps was a net liability of
$2,745 and $3,337, respectively, and was included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

In July 2009, the Company entered into a
foreign exchange forward contract for $200 to offset the foreign currency exposure associated with the fair value of an Australian dollar firm commitment to purchase equipment. The forward contract expires in December 2009 and is designated as a
highly effective fair value hedge with the effective portion of gains and losses recorded in other income and expense and are measured on an ongoing basis. At September 30, 2009, the fair value of the contract was $229. The value of the firm
commitment was included in other current assets and the offsetting payable was included in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheet.



|8. | Acquisition
|-- | -----------

On February 29, 2008, the Company acquired
100% of Collotype which provided the Company with a broader international operating footprint to better serve its existing and acquired customers and an expanded ability to attract new international customers. The results of Collotypes
operations have been included in the Companys consolidated financial statements beginning March 1, 2008.

At September 30, 2009, $708
was in an escrow account pending resolution of various contingencies primarily related to income taxes for pre-acquisition activities of Collotype. In June 2009, the Company received $177 from the escrow due to the settlement of contingencies
related to pre-acquisition activities of Collotype. Any return of escrow amounts would represent an offset to additional assumed liabilities with no change in the purchase price.



|9. | Fair Value Measurements
|-- | -----------------------

The Company defines fair value as
the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the Company uses
a fair value estimating three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the use of observable inputs. The three levels are:

Level 1  Quoted
market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2  Observable inputs other than quoted market prices in
active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3  Unobservable inputs

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment.

Derivative Financial Investments

The Company has two interest rate swaps; a $40,000 non-amortizing swap and a $40,000 amortizing swap, to convert variable interest rates on a portion of outstanding debt to fixed interest rates (see Note 7). The
Company adjusts the carrying value of these derivatives to their estimated fair values and records the adjustment in other comprehensive earnings. The Company also has a foreign exchange forward contract for $200 to offset the foreign currency
exposure associated with the fair value of an Australian dollar firm commitment to purchase equipment.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in goodwill and
other intangible asset impairment analyses and in the valuation of assets held for sale. The Company tests goodwill annually, as of the last day of February of each fiscal year, for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit
goodwill to its carrying amount. Impairment is also tested when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets carrying values may be greater than the fair values.

|12. | Plant Closure Costs
|--- | -------------------

In January 2009, the Company announced
plans to consolidate its heat transfer label (HTL) manufacturing business located in Framingham, Massachusetts into its other existing facilities. The transition began immediately with final plant closure occurring in the second quarter of fiscal
2010. In connection with the closure of the Framingham facility, the Company recorded a total charge of $2,553 during its fourth quarter period ending March 31, 2009, consisting of $1,407 in cash charges for employee severance and other
termination benefits related to 62 associates and $1,146 in non-cash charges related to asset impairments. In the first half of fiscal 2010, the Company incurred employee retention charges of $274 recorded in selling, general and administrative

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Amounts in Thousands)
|------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements that involve potential risks and uncertainties. The
Companys future results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed herein and those discussed in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date thereof. Results for interim periods may not be indicative of annual
results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We continually evaluate our estimates, including, but
not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventories and any related reserves, income taxes, fixed assets, goodwill and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies impact the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, our senior management has reviewed the
critical accounting policies and estimates with the Board of Directors Audit and Finance Committee. For a more detailed discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on sales of products when the customer receives title to the goods, which is generally upon shipment or delivery depending on sales terms. Revenues are generally denominated in the currency of the country from
which the product is shipped and are net of applicable returns and discounts.

Accounts Receivable

Our customers are primarily major consumer product and wine and spirits companies and container manufacturers. Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from
customers in connection with our normal business activities and are carried at sales value less allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established to reflect the expected losses of accounts receivable based on past
collection history, age and specific individual risks identified. Losses may also depend to some degree on future economic conditions. Although these conditions are unknown to us and may result in additional credit losses, we do not anticipate
significant adverse credit circumstances in fiscal 2010. If we are unable to collect all or part of the outstanding receivable balance, there could be a material impact on the Companys operating results and cash flows.

The accounts receivable balances in Australia and South Africa are subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations which can cause the balance to change significantly
with an offset to other comprehensive earnings.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value and are maintained using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) or specific identification method. Excess and obsolete cost reductions are generally established
based on inventory age.

Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets

We test goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually and/or whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. The impairment test is completed based
upon our assessment of the estimated fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets. The annual review for impairment of goodwill requires the use of estimates and assumptions which we believe are appropriate. Application of different estimates
and assumptions could have a material impact on the consolidated statements of income.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired and the related carrying amounts may not
be recoverable. The determination of whether impairment has occurred involves various estimates and assumptions, including the determination of the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets involved in the review. The cash flow
estimates are based upon our historical experience, adjusted to reflect estimated future market and operating conditions. Measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of fair value. We base our estimates of fair values on quoted market
prices when available, independent appraisals as appropriate and industry trends or other market knowledge. Changes in the market condition and/or losses of a production line could have a material impact on the consolidated statements of income.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded based on the current year amounts payable or refundable, as well as the consequences of events that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary
differences between the tax basis and reported book basis of assets and liabilities and result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Our accounting for deferred taxes involves certain estimates and assumptions that we believe are
appropriate. Future changes in regulatory tax laws and/or different positions held by taxing authorities may affect the amounts recorded for income taxes.

The benefits of tax positions are not recorded unless it is more likely than not the tax position would be sustained upon challenge by the appropriate tax authorities. Tax benefits that are more likely than not to be sustained are measured
at the largest amount of benefit that is cumulatively greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized.

Executive Overview

We provide a complete line of innovative decorative label solutions and offer a wide variety of technical and graphic services to our customers based on their specific
needs and requirements. Our customers include a wide range of consumer product companies and we supply labels for many of the worlds best known brands and products, including laundry detergent, fabric care, food, beverages, and wine and
spirits.

Our vision is to be a premier global resource of decorating solutions. We currently serve customers located throughout North, Central and
South America, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. We continue to monitor and analyze new trends in the packaging and consumer products industries to ensure that we are providing appropriate services and products to our customers. Certain
factors that influence our business include consumer spending, new product introductions, new packaging technologies and demographics.

The label
markets we serve continue to experience a competitive environment and price pressures. We continually search for ways to reduce our costs through improved production and labor efficiencies, reduced substrate waste, new substrate options and lower
substrate pricing.

In addition, the current macroeconomic environment has added additional new challenges with the current high rate of unemployment
and impact on reduced consumer spending. As a result, sales volumes and pricing is difficult to predict.

In January 2009, the Company announced plans
to consolidate its heat transfer label (HTL) manufacturing business located in Framingham, Massachusetts into its other existing facilities. The transition began immediately with final plant closure occurring in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. In
connection with the closure of the Framingham facility, the Company recorded a total charge of $2,553 during its fourth quarter period ending March 31, 2009, consisting of $1,407 in cash charges for employee severance and other termination
benefits related to 62 associates and $1,146 in non-cash charges related to asset impairments. In the first half of fiscal 2010, the Company incurred employee retention charges of $274 (See Note 12).

On February 29, 2008, the Company acquired Collotype International Holdings Pty. Ltd. (Collotype) which is headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia. Collotype
is the worlds leading and highly awarded pressure sensitive wine and spirits label manufacturer and a growing provider of labels in the fast-moving consumer goods marketplace in Australia. Collotype has manufacturing operations in Australia,
South Africa and the United States.

In October 2007, we announced the expansion of our manufacturing operations with the purchase of two new presses
for a newly acquired manufacturing facility in Batavia, Ohio. Our Troy and Batavia, Ohio plants were consolidated into this new facility to both reduce costs and provide needed capacity for long term growth.

Prior to June 2007, we were organized into two segments within the packaging industry: Decorating Solutions and
Packaging Services. The Decorating Solutions segments primary operations involved the design and printing of labels, while the Packaging Services segment provided promotional packaging, assembling and fulfillment services. On July 2,
2007, we completed the sale of Quick Pak whose operating results were reported as the Packaging Services segment. Accordingly, the results of Quick Pak are now presented as discontinued operations for all periods in the consolidated financial
statements and we no longer report any segment results as we now only have one business segment.

|Net Revenues |  | $    | 71,963 |      | $ | 80,637   |  | $ | (8,674  | ) |  | (11 | )%

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year
decreased 11% primarily due to a 8% decline in sales volumes due to market share declines experienced by our customers brands, a 2% unfavorable pricing impact due to reduced pricing schedules associated with the new contracts for our three
largest customers and a 1% unfavorable foreign exchange impact due to a stronger Australian dollar in the prior year. Volume with our two largest customers remained below prior year and accounted for approximately three-fourths of the volume
decline.

Gross profit decreased $1,866 or 13% compared to the prior year primarily due to the impact of lower sales
volumes. Gross margins remained steady at 18% in the second quarter compared to the prior year quarter despite the decline in revenues and start-up inefficiencies related to moving our heat transfer business from Framingham to Scottsburg due to
improved operating efficiencies at our Batavia facility and reductions in fixed costs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased $255 or 4% compared to the prior year due to
reductions in headcount and incentive compensation, and other cost decreases partially offset by $126 in acquisition-related expenses. As a percent of revenues, SG&A expenses were steady at 9% compared to the prior year.

Interest expense decreased 32% to $1,257 compared to the same period of the prior year as a result of a
reduction in bank debt of $23,609 due to debt repayments and lower interest rates. We had $92,354 of debt at September 30, 2009 compared to $115,963 of debt at September 30, 2008. Other (income) expense decreased by $249 from the prior
year due to income in the prior year on a mark-to-market adjustment on a hedged payable to purchase a press that expired at the end of fiscal year 2009.

On February 29, 2008 and in connection with the Collotype acquisition, the Company executed a new five-year $200 million credit agreement with a consortium of
bank lenders (Credit Facility). The new Credit Facility contains an election to increase the facility by up to an additional $50 million and the Company terminated its previous $50 million credit facility. At September 30, 2009, the aggregate
principal amount of $185 million is available under the Credit Facility through: (i) a $110 million five-year revolving credit facility (U.S. Revolving Credit Facility); (ii) the Australian dollar equivalent of a $40 million
five-year revolving credit facility (Australian Sub-Facility); and (iii) a $35 million term loan facility (Term Loan Facility), which amortizes $10 million per year.

The Credit Facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. Loans under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan
Facility will bear interest at either: (i) the greater of (a) Bank of Americas prime rate in effect from time to time; and (b) the federal funds rate in effect from time to time plus 0.5%; or (ii) the applicable London
interbank offered rate plus the applicable margin for such loans which ranges from 0.75% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing. Loans under the Australian Sub-Facility bear interest at the Bank Bill Swap
Bid Rate (BBSY) plus the applicable margin for such loans, which ranges from 0.75% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing.

Available borrowings under the Credit Facility at September 30, 2009 consisted of $62,000 under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and $30,448 under the Australian Sub-Facility. At September 30, 2009, the
Company had one outstanding letter of credit totaling $200 for the purchase of equipment.

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and
warranties as well as customary negative and affirmative covenants which requires the Company to maintain the following financial covenants: (i) a minimum consolidated net worth; (ii) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.00,
stepping down to 3.00 to 1.00 at December 31, 2010 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter; and (iii) a minimum consolidated interest charge coverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00. The Credit Facility contains customary mandatory and optional
prepayment provisions, customary events of default, and is secured by the capital stock of subsidiaries, intercompany debt and all of the Companys property and assets, except for real property.

We believe that we have both sufficient short and long term liquidity and financing. We had a working capital position of $15,208 and $13,531 at September 30,
2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively and were in compliance with our loan covenants and current in our principal and interest payments on all debt.

statement; changes in general economic and business conditions in the US and abroad; the ability to consummate and successfully integrate acquisitions; the ability to manage foreign operations; currency exchange rate fluctuations; the success and
financial condition of the Companys significant customers; competition; acceptance of new product offerings; changes in business strategy or plans; quality of management; the Companys ability to maintain an effective system of internal
