REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Participants and Administrator of
Penton Media, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits, with fund information and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits, with fund information present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Penton Media,
Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 1999 and December 31,
1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and for the four months ended December 31, 1998 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following description of the Penton Media, Inc. Retirement Savings
Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should
refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.
General
-------
Prior to August 7, 1998, Penton Media, Inc. ("Penton" or "Company") was a
wholly owned subsidiary of Pittway Corporation ("Pittway"). Pittway
distributed 100% of Penton's common stock on August 7, 1998, to Pittway's
shareholders in a tax-free spinoff. On September 1, 1998, the Company
adopted the Plan, a 401(k) defined contribution plan. Assets, in the
amount of $49,160,575 and $231,007, and liabilities attributable to Penton
employees in the Pittway Corporation Blue Chip and Profit Sharing Savings
Plan were transferred to the Plan during 1998 and 1999, respectively.
In November 1998, Penton acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Mecklermedia Corporation which was renamed Internet World Media, Inc.
("Internet World Media"). On February 1, 1999 Internet World Media began
participation in the Penton Plan. Effective December 31, 1999, the assets
from the Mecklermedia Corporation 401(k) Plan valued at $1,610,627, were
transferred to Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc.
("Fidelity"), the trustee of the Plan.
In May 1999, Penton acquired substantially all the assets of New Hope
Communications, Inc. ("New Hope"). On July 1, 1999, New Hope began
participation in the Penton Plan. The New Hope employees were given the
option to either remain in the New Hope Communications, Inc. 401(k) Plan
("New Hope Plan") or transfer assets to the Penton Plan. Assets rolled
over from the New Hope Plan are included in participant contributions.
On November 30, 1999, Penton sold its Printing segment. Employees of the
segment were given the option to stay in the Plan, transfer their balances
to an IRA, transfer their balances to a new plan or receive a
distribution.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). All non-union employees of the Company
become eligible to participate in the plan on the first day of the month
that is at least 30 days after the date on which the employee begins
employment with the Company.
Contributions
-------------
Each year, participants may contribute up to 15 percent of pretax annual
compensation, as defined in the Plan. Unless waived, 3% of an eligible
employee's compensation will automatically be deducted and contributed to
the Plan. The matching percentage contributed by the Company is determined
by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, at their
discretion. The Company contributes 50% percent of the first 6% percent of
the contribution that the participant contributes to the Plan.
Contributions are subject to certain limitations.
The Plan also permits rollover contributions from other qualified
retirement plans. Rollover contributions are included in participant
contributions and amounted to $1,310,289 in 1999 and $196,922 in 1998.
Participant accounts
--------------------
Fidelity maintains an individual account for each participant. This
account is credited with participant contributions, employer matching
contributions and Plan earnings, as allocated, based upon each
participant's election. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is
the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Vesting
-------
Participants are immediately vested in both employee and the employer
contributions, plus actual earnings thereon.
Investment options
------------------
Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee and
matching employer contributions in whole percent increments in any of
eight investment options held by Fidelity. Two of the investment options
are no longer available for investment purposes as noted in the
descriptions which follow. Northern Trust is the trustee for the following
funds: Penton Media, Inc. Stock Fund, Pittway Corporation Stock Fund and
the AptarGroup Inc. Stock Fund. Northern Trust reports all activity of
these funds to Fidelity. Fidelity manages the following remaining funds:
Retirement Government Money Market Portfolio, Managed Income Portfolio,
Growth & Income Portfolio, Aggressive Growth Fund (known as Fidelity
Emerging Growth Fund in 1998), Magellan Fund, Spartan 500 Index Fund
(known as Spartan Market Index Fund in 1998) and the Diversified
International Fund.
Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market Portfolio is a money market
mutual fund that invests in obligations, issued or guaranteed as to
principal and interest by the U.S. Government.
Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio is a stable value fund (common or
collective trust). It invests primarily in high-quality, short and long
term insurance company investment contracts (GICs), bank investment
contracts (BICs), short term money market instruments and "synthetic"
GICs (debt obligations issued by one institution and insured by another
as to the payment of principal at maturity).
Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio is a growth and income mutual fund,
which seeks long-term capital growth, current income, and growth of
income consistent with reasonable investment risk. It invests primarily
in U.S. and foreign stocks, focusing on those that pay dividends and show
potential earnings growth. It may also invest in bonds.
Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund (known as Fidelity Emerging Growth Fund
in 1998) is a growth mutual fund and invests primarily in stocks of small
and medium size developing companies that have the potential to grow
rapidly. Such stocks may be subject to abrupt or erratic price changes.
Fidelity Magellan Fund is a growth mutual fund and seeks long-term
capital appreciation by investing in the stocks of both well known and
lesser known companies with potentially above-average growth potential
and a correspondingly higher level of risk. Securities held by the fund
may include both foreign and domestic companies.
Spartan 500 Index Fund (known as Spartan Market Index Fund in 1998) is a
growth mutual fund and invests primarily in the stocks that are included
in the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 stocks and other
securities that are based on the value of the index.
Fidelity Diversified International Fund is a growth mutual fund that
invests primarily in stocks of companies located outside of the U.S. that
are included in the Morgan & Stanley EAFE Index (Europe, Australia, Far
East Index). It seeks stocks of larger companies that are considered
undervalued in their countries.
AptarGroup, Inc. Stock Fund is a fund which, under a former plan,
invested exclusively in shares of AptarGroup, Inc. stock. Any
contributions or investment gains previously invested in the AptarGroup,
Inc. Stock Fund, may, at the present time, remain invested in Aptar
Stock. These contributions or investment gains may be reinvested in
another fund. The AptarGroup, Inc. Stock Fund is no longer available as
an investment option for future contributions.

PENTON MEDIA, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Pittway Corporation Stock Fund is a fund which, under a former plan,
invested exclusively in shares of Pittway Corporation Class A stock. Any
contributions or investment gains previously invested in the Pittway
Corporation Stock Fund may, at the present time, remain invested in
Pittway Stock. These contributions or investment gains may be reinvested
in another fund. The Pittway Corporation Stock Fund is no longer
available as an investment option for future contributions.
Penton Media, Inc. Stock Fund invests exclusively in shares of Penton
Media, Inc. stock. Investment gains may result from both dividends and
increases in the market value of shares. Shares in the Penton Media,
Inc. Stock Fund are acquired on the open market at fair market value on
the date purchased.
Participant loans
-----------------
Participants may borrow from the fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 not to
exceed 50 percent of the vested account balance. Loan repayments are
treated as a transfer to the investment funds from the Loan Fund.
Participant loans are reflected as a transfer from the respective
investment funds to the Loan Fund. Loan terms may not exceed five years.
The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's vested account
and carry an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus one percent on
the date of the loan. Interest rates range from 8.75 percent to 10.50
percent. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll
deductions.
Payment of benefits and withdrawals
-----------------------------------
A participant may withdraw the account balance by calling Fidelity
directly.
Hardship withdrawals require documentation of an immediate financial need
and the withdrawal must meet requirements outlined in the plan document.
Upon termination of employment or death, the accumulated benefits will be
paid to the participant based on the payment election. Participants may
elect to receive either a lump sum, a series of installments over a
period of time as determined by the plan document, or a combination of
the two.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
-------------------
The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP").
The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets the net
appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of its investments, which
consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation
or depreciation on those investments.
Use of estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
-------------------------------------------
Investments in the AptarGroup, Inc. Stock Fund, Pittway Corporation Stock
Fund, and Penton Media, Inc. Stock Fund are valued at quoted market
prices at year end. Investments in the Fidelity Magellan Fund, Fidelity
Growth and Income Portfolio, Spartan 500 Index Fund (known as Spartan
Market Index Fund in 1998), Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund (known as
Fidelity Emerging Growth Fund in 1998) and Fidelity Diversified
International Fund are valued at quoted market prices which represent the
net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Investments in
the Fidelity Retirement Government
12

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan has not filed for a favorable determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service that qualifies it under the appropriate section
of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). However, Pittway received a favorable
determination letter dated May 22, 1995. Since the Plan was spun-off in
the same form the plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed
and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the IRC. As such, the Plan financial statements do not
reflect any accruals for federal and state taxes. The Plan is within the
remedial amendment period which extends the filing until December 31,
2001.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 15, 2000 Penton sold its Direct Mail segment. Participants in
the Plan were given the option to leave the participant balances in the
Plan, transfer the balance to a qualified IRA, transfer the balance to a
new plan or receive a distribution.
In February 2000, Pittway was sold to Honeywell International, Inc.
This transaction has no impact on the Plan financial statements for 1999.
