NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

NOTE 1:        GENERAL
The accounting policies followed during interim periods are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and are consistent with those applied
for annual periods as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999. Other than Balance Sheet amounts as of
December 31, 1999, all amounts contained herein are unaudited.

Reclassifications:
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the
current year presentation.

NOTE 2:        CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR INVENTORIES FROM LIFO TO FIFO
During 2000, the Company changed its method of determining the cost of inventory
for the Labeling Solutions U.S. business unit from LIFO to FIFO. The Company
believes the FIFO method results in a closer matching of costs and revenue
during periods of declining prices and it is the primary method used in the
industry in which the Labeling Solutions U.S. business unit operates. This
change has been applied by retroactively restating the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Although this change in method did not impact the 2000 or
1999 net income, the retained earnings balances for the periods ended September
30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 have been decreased by $7.2 to reflect the
retroactive application of the new method of valuing inventories.

NOTE 3:        ACQUISITIONS
On May 18, 2000, the Company acquired the Bornemann & Bick ("B&B") group of
companies for approximately $52.5. The B&B companies manufacture apparel
identification products. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase
with assets and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values at
the date of acquisition. The $31.5 excess of the purchase price and transaction
costs over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is
being amortized over 25 years. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed is as follows:

On February 2, 1999, the Company acquired the apparel identification business of
Ferguson International PLC ("Ferguson") for approximately $20.5. The acquisition
has been accounted for as a purchase with assets and liabilities assumed
recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The $5.4
excess of the purchase price and transaction costs over the fair value of net
assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over 20 years.
The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

NOTE 12:       BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company operated the following business segments: Apparel Identification,
Labeling Solutions and Thermal Transfer Ribbons. Inter-segment sales prices are
based on cost plus a mark-up to allow the selling segment to make a reasonable
profit. The Company evaluates performance on operating income of its business
segments before corporate expenses, amortization of goodwill, non-recurring
charges, interest, income taxes and extraordinary items.

The Company's Apparel Identification operations design, develop, market and
manufacture products and services specifically to the apparel and textile
industries, including white goods such as towels and sheets. In general, such
products and services can be classified as follows: bar code systems; fabric
label systems; and tags and labels.

Bar code systems enable manufacturers to accommodate retailers' demands in a
rapid and cost-effective manner. The Company's bar code systems and supplies
include electronic printers and supporting software, thermal inks and
pre-printed tag stock and specialty fabrics. Fabric label systems include
printers, fabrics, inks and printing accessories, which are used by apparel
manufacturers for in-plant printing of care labels and labels that carry brand
name, logo, size and other information for the retail customer. Labels and tags
are attached to apparel by manufacturers and retailers to identify and promote
their products, allow automated data collection and provide brand identification
and customer information such as origin, size, fabric content and care
instructions.

The Company's Labeling Solutions operations market and distribute (1) electronic
bar code printers, which are used in a wide range of retail and industrial
applications including inventory management and distribution systems and (2)
hand-held mechanical labeling devices that print pressure-sensitive (i.e.,
adhesive-backed) price and other identification labels and affix them onto
merchandise for retailers. In addition, the Company manufactures and markets
supplies used in both its mechanical labelers and bar code printers and provides
comprehensive service to its installed base of machines.

Thermal transfer ribbons are used in bar code printers to print single-color and
multi-color tags and labels for use in manufacturing and factory automation
systems, shipping and distributions systems, retail price tag, packaging and
medical applications. The Company sold 92.5% of IIMAK, its Thermal Transfer
Ribbons business, on March 9, 2000 (see Note 4).

NOTE 13:       RESTRUCTURING  AND  OTHER SPECIAL CHARGES
In the first quarter 1999, the Company adopted a plan to streamline its U.S.
business segments. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 the Company
recorded $5.0 of restructuring and other special charges. Included in the total
charge is severance of $3.3 and $1.1 of costs associated with the consolidation
of certain facilities. Substantially all these costs had been paid as of
September 30, 1999. The Apparel Identification business segment consolidated its
woven and printed label operations, which resulted in the elimination of
approximately 20 managerial and administrative personnel. The Labeling Solutions
business segment reduced headcount by approximately 50 salaried positions.

NOTE 14:       ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
At September 30, 1999, the Company had an interest rate derivative instrument
with notional value of $65. The fair value of that agreement, based on estimates
provided by financial institutions, was a loss of $0.6 at September 30, 1999,
for which the Company had made full provision in the accounts. There were no
interest rate derivatives in effect at September 30, 2000 or December 31, 1999.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The
statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS
No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.

The Company anticipates that implementation of SFAS No. 133 would not have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations.

recording of the B&B inventories acquired at fair value. Excluding this impact
the gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 would have been
39.1%.

September 30,1999. The decrease was the result of reduced variable rate
borrowings under the revolving credit facility and interest income on the
proceeds from the sale of IIMAK.

Income before taxes was $13.1 and $90.4 (8.3% and 18.6% of sales) for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared with $15.1 and $34.6 (9.1% and
7.1% of sales) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999.

The effective income tax rate was 26% and 25% for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2000 compared with 35% for both the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999. Excluding the net gain on the sale of IIMAK in the
amount of $40.3 the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30,
2000, would have been 31%.

Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $9.7 and
$68.1 (6.1% and 14.0% of sales) compared with $9.8 and $22.4 (5.9% and 4.6% of
sales) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999.

Depreciation and amortization was $26.1 for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 compared with $27.6 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
During the first nine months of 2000 capital expenditures were $18.9 compared
with $21.0 in 1999. All new capital projects are carefully analyzed and, other
than projects for employee safety and environmental improvement, are required to
make a positive contribution on a net present value basis, generating an
advantageous internal rate of return on invested capital. The Company currently
anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $28 for the year ending
December 31, 2000.

On May 18, 2000, the Company acquired the Bornemann & Bick ("B&B") group of
companies for approximately $52.5. The B&B companies manufacture apparel
identification products. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase
with assets and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values at
the date of acquisition. The $31.5 excess of the purchase price and transaction
cost over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is
being amortized over 25 years.

On March 9, 2000 the Company sold 92.5% of International Imaging Materials,
Inc., its thermal transfer ribbons business, for a total consideration of
$127.5, which included $120.0 in cash and $7.5 of IIMAK preferred stock.
On February 2, 1999, the Company acquired the apparel identification business of
Ferguson International PLC ("Ferguson") for approximately $20.5. The acquisition
has been accounted for as a purchase with assets and liabilities assumed
recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The $5.4
excess of the purchase price and transaction costs over the fair value of net
assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over 20 years.

The Company intends to continue its growth, in part by acquisitions of other
complementary or related businesses, and believes that further acquisitions
would be of important strategic value.

Total debt decreased to $180.0 at September 30, 2000, from $208.7 at December
31, 1999, due to repayments of revolving debt with a portion of the proceeds
from the divestiture of IIMAK. At September 30, 2000, total debt as a percent of
total capital was 37.9% compared with 42.5% at December 31, 1999.

On March 12, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank for an
uncommitted facility permitting the Company to borrow up to $50 at negotiated
interest rates for defined periods on an unsecured basis. The agreement requires
the Company to have availability under its committed revolving credit agreement
equal to the amount borrowed under this facility.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company experiences market risk relative to interest rates. A 10% change in
interest rates affecting the Company's floating rate debt instruments would have
an insignificant impact on the Company's pretax earnings and cash flows over the
next fiscal year. Such a move in interest rates would have no effect on the fair
value of the Company's floating rate debt instruments.
