CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2000
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation -
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and all subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions
and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation and all adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.
Nature of Business -
CSS is a consumer products company primarily engaged in the manufacture
and sale to mass market retailers of seasonal, social expression
products, including gift wrap, gift bags, boxed greeting cards, gift
tags, tissue paper, paper and vinyl decorations, classroom exchange
Valentines, decorative ribbons and bows, Halloween masks, costumes,
make-ups and novelties and Easter egg dyes and novelties. Due to the
seasonality of the Company's business, the majority of sales occur in
the third and fourth quarters and a material portion of the Company's
trade receivables are due in December and January of each year.
Use of Estimates -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Inventories -
Inventories are generally stated at the lower of first-in, first-out
(FIFO) cost or market. The remaining portion of the inventory is valued
at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Inventories
consisted of the following:

</TABLE>
Revenue Recognition -
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with its shipping terms.
Returns and allowances are reserved for based on the Company's
historical experience.
-6-
<PAGE>
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share -
Basic net income per common share was computed based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the third quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 - 8,967,520 and 9,102,009 in
2000 and 9,621,224 and 9,852,155 in 1999. Average outstanding shares
used in the computation of diluted net income per share for the third
quarter include the impact of dilutive stock options and were 8,973,114
and 9,102,009 in 2000 and 9,682,324 and 9,852,155 in 1999.
Shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common
share are equal for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as the
common stock equivalents that would normally be added to the weighted
average shares outstanding for the computation of diluted loss per
common share have an anti-dilutive effect when the Company has a net
loss.
Statements of Cash Flows -
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
holdings of highly liquid debt instruments with original maturity of
less than three months to be temporary investments.
Reclassifications -
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current year classifications.
(2) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES:
On August 18, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets and the business of
Party Professionals, Inc. Party Professionals designs and markets highly
crafted latex masks, helmets and accessories sold to mass merchandisers,
drug chains, party and gift shops. In consideration for these businesses,
the Company paid $6,000,000 in cash and assumed and repaid $1,606,000 of
outstanding debt. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the
excess of cost over fair market value of $6,697,000 was recorded as
goodwill in the accompanying balance sheet and is being amortized over
twenty years. As of December 31, 1999, the operations of Party
Professionals, now known as Don Post Studios, Inc., were consolidated into
existing operations of the Company.
(3) TREASURY STOCK TRANSACTIONS:
On February 19, 1998, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized the purchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. Subsequently, the Board of Directors authorized additional
repurchases of shares on terms acceptable to management. The cumulative
authorized repurchase amount is 3,000,000 shares. Any such buy back is
subject to compliance with regulatory requirements and relevant covenants
of the Company's $300,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility. As of
September 30, 2000, the Company had repurchased 2,377,000 shares for
$59,196,000 including the purchase of 106,000 shares for $2,143,000 in the
third quarter.

<PAGE>
(4) FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES:
The FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" in 1998, which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It
requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure these
instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 was scheduled to be effective for
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999; however,
in June of 1999 the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 which deferred the effective
date of SFAS No. 133 one year to years beginning after June 15, 2000. In
June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amends SFAS No. 133.
Based on current operations, the Company does not expect the adoption of
this statement to have a material effect on its financial position and
results of operations.
The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 in 1999, which
summarized the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting
principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. Calendar
year-end companies are required to adopt SAB No. 101, as amended, no later
than the quarter ending December 31, 2000. Based on current operations, the
Company does not except the adoption of this statement to have a material
effect on its financial position and results of operations.

CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Seasonality
The seasonal nature of CSS' business results in low sales and operating
losses for the first two quarters and high shipment levels and operating profits
for the second half of the year, thereby causing significant fluctuations in the
quarterly results of operations of the Company.
Stock Repurchase Program
On February 19, 1998, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized the purchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Subsequently, the Board of Directors authorized additional repurchases of shares
on terms acceptable to management. The cumulative authorized repurchase amount
is 3,000,000 shares. Any such buy back is subject to compliance with regulatory
requirements and relevant covenants of the Company's $300,000,000 unsecured
revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had repurchased
2,377,000 shares for $59,196,000 including 106,000 shares for $2,143,000 in the
third quarter.
First Nine Months of 2000 Compared to First Nine Months of 1999
Consolidated sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased
7% to $204,674,000 from $190,544,000 in 1999. The increase in sales was
primarily due to higher sales of Christmas products, a portion of which relates
to earlier customer requested ship dates compared to a year ago. Also
contributing to the sales increase was higher sales of Halloween, educational
and non-Christmas ribbon and bow products. These increases were partially offset
by lower sales of closeouts, everyday window clings and classroom exchange
Valentine cards as a result of improvements in production which allowed for the
shipment of product related to the 2000 holiday in late 1999.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was 75% in 2000 and 1999.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, as a percentage of
sales, increased to 26% from 25% in 1999. The increase in SG&A expenses as a
percentage of sales was due to the previously announced move to a more
decentralized management structure and costs associated with the implementation
of an Enterprise Resource Planning System.
Interest expense, net was $2,781,000 in 2000 and $2,305,000 in 1999. The
increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher interest rates. Rental
and other income decreased to $87,000 in 2000 from $1,168,000 in 1999 due to the
impact of restructuring a portion of the Company's deferred compensation
liability in 1999.
-9-
<PAGE>
Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes were 36% in 2000 and
36.5% in 1999.
The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $2,908,000,
or $.32 per share, compared to prior year net loss of $1,656,000, or $.17 per
share. The decrease in earnings was due to higher SG&A and interest costs,
partially offset by increased sales and gross margins. The disproportionate
increase in the Company's loss per share was a result of the Company's
continuing stock repurchase program which added $.09 to the loss per share for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Third Quarter 2000 Compared to Third Quarter 1999
Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 increased 12% to
$142,965,000 from $127,416,000 in 1999. The increase in sales was due to higher
Christmas shipments, a portion of which was a result of earlier customer
requested ship dates than in the prior year, and higher sales of educational
products.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was 76% in 2000 and 75% in 1999.
The increase in cost of sales was a result of the mix of product line shipments
in the quarter compared to a year ago. Despite higher sales, SG&A expenses as a
percentage of sales were 15% in both 2000 and 1999. The increase in SG&A expense
was a result of higher costs related to the previously announced move to a more
decentralized management structure
Interest expense, net was $1,755,000 in 2000 compared to $1,274,000 in
1999. The increase was a result of higher interest rates compared to 1999.
Income taxes, as a percentage of income before taxes were 36% in 2000 and
38% in 1999.
Net income for the third quarter was $7,296,000, or $.81 per share,
compared to prior year net income of $6,806,000, or $.70 per share. The increase
in income was primarily due to increased sales. The Company's continuing stock
repurchase program added $.04 to diluted earnings per share compared to the
third quarter of 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of $116,456,000 and
shareholders' equity of $207,801,000. The decrease in accounts receivable and
the increase in inventories from December 31, 1999 reflected seasonal
collections of 1999 Christmas accounts receivables, net of current year billings
and normal seasonal inventory increases necessary for the 2000 shipping season.
The decrease in shareholders' equity is primarily attributable to the
year-to-date repurchase of 448,200 shares of the Company's common stock for
$8,920,000.
The Company relies primarily on cash generated from operations and seasonal
borrowings to meet its liquidity requirements. Historically, most revenues are
seasonal with over 80% of sales generated in the second half of the year.
Payment for Christmas related products is usually not received until after the
holiday in accordance with general industry practice. As a result, short-term
borrowing needs were repaid in the first quarter of 2000 but will increase
through the remainder of the year peaking prior to Christmas. Seasonal
borrowings are made under a $300,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility
with thirteen banks and financial institutions. The credit facility is available
to fund the seasonal borrowing needs and to provide the Company with a source of
capital for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2000, the Company
had short-term borrowings of $120,510,000 under this facility. Based on its
current operating plan, the Company believes its sources of available capital
are adequate to meet its ongoing cash needs for the foreseeable future.
