                             MULTI-COLOR CORPORATION

                         Notes to Financial Information

Item 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by
     the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission. Although certain information and
     footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 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 financial statements should be
     read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
     included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The information furnished in these 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,
     and all adjustments and estimates are of a normal recurring nature.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Thirteen Weeks Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to the Thirteen Weeks Ended 
July 2, 1995

         Net sales decreased $3,940,000, or 25%, in the first quarter as
         compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The decrease in
         sales was due primarily to a 40% ($2,150,000) decrease in conventional
         label business. The decline in conventional label business was the
         result of the Company eliminating some unprofitable conventional label
         activities and was expected by management. The Company continues to
         take steps to improve the profitability of its conventional label
         business and may experience further sales declines as a result of these
         efforts.

         In-mold label sales decreased 20% ($1,880,000) in the first quarter as
         compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The decline in
         in-mold label sales was considered a temporary phenomenon tied to
         industry inventory conditions and should reverse itself in succeeding
         quarters.

         Although the gross profit decreased by $322,000 as compared to the
         previous year, the percentage gross profit increased from 13.3% to
         15.1% on a comparative basis with lower sales volumes supporting
         management's commitment to lower the Company's cost structure.

         Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $173,000 as
         compared to the same prior year period. The decrease was attributable
         to the Company no longer using an outside consulting firm to assist
         with its financing restructuring as a new loan agreement was finalized
         with the Company's lenders on February 23, 1996.

         Interest expense decreased $78,000 as compared to the same prior year
         period and was the result of lower borrowings against the revolving
         loan.

         The net income for the period was $123,000 [$.03 per share] as compared
         to net income of $213,000 [$.10 per share] in the same prior year
         period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         In July 1994, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with PNC
         Bank, Ohio, National Association, and Star Bank, National Association
         extending through July 1997. This agreement was to provide available
         borrowings under the revolving line of credit of up to a maximum of
         $5,000,000 subject to certain borrowing base limitations, and to
         provide for up to an additional $1,400,000 of long-term financing for
         capital expenditures. During 1995, the Company was in violation of
         certain of its financial covenants and received waivers from its
         lenders with respect to these violations until April 2, 1995. In
         connection with the waivers, the Credit Agreement was amended to
         restrict the borrowing base, increase the interest rate and fees
         applicable to the borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and restricted
         the $1,400,000 term loan and lease lines. The Company remained in
         violation of the cashflow coverage ratio, the leverage ratio, and the
         current covenants until February 23, 1996, at which time, the Credit
         Agreement was restated. As the Company was in violation of certain
         covenants that gave the lenders the right to accelerate the due dates
         of their loans, the 1995 annual report was issued with the otherwise
         long-term debt classified as short-term. This resulted in a significant
         deterioration in the Company's working capital position.

         During 1996, management launched a three tiered initiative designed to
         overcome the Company's financial difficulties. First was a plan to
         restore the Cincinnati operations to profitability as measured on an
         Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization
         (EBITDA) basis. Second was a strategy to continue growing the in-mold
         label business while improving gross margins in this area. This
         strategy called for consolidating all the gravure in-mold label
         manufacturing in the Scottsburg facility thereby increasing operating
         efficiencies and operating leverage. The third aspect of the initiative
         called for the Company to raise approximately $3,000,000 in equity to
         strengthen the capital structure of the Company. The Company was
         successful in its efforts as four consecutive quarters of profitability
         resulted during 1996 each having EBITDA exceeding $1,000,000.
         Additionally, the Company was successful in raising $500,000 in equity
         prior to year-end 1996 and $2,432,000 during the first quarter of 1997,
         supporting its commitment to strengthen its overall financial
         structure.

         Regaining profitability during 1996 coupled with significant
         improvements in cashflow and debt reduction enabled the Company to
         restate its loan agreement with its lenders on February 23, 1996. The
         Company is in compliance with all covenants. The restated loan
         agreement provides available borrowings under the revolving line of
         credit of up to $3,750,000 and a $500,000 standby letter of credit to
         purchase raw materials included as a sub-limit to the revolving credit
         facility. Additionally, the restated agreement allows for annual
         capital expenditures not to exceed $1,500,000.

         With the infusion of equity, the Company plans to expand the Scottsburg
         division during 1997 by adding capacity. Recognizing the importance of
         this expansion program to the overall success of the Company, the
         lenders amended the restated loan agreement on May 2, 1996 permitting
         the acquisitions associated with the Scottsburg expansion. This
         amendment allows total capital expenditures of $3,500,000 for 1997.
         Additionally, the associated covenants impacted by the increased
         capital expenditures were appropriately amended and the Company remains
         in compliance with the revised covenant requirements.

         Management believes that the additional equity acquired, coupled with
         the expected cash to be generated from operations, will allow it to
         support operations and the anticipated capital expenditures of
         $3,500,000 in fiscal 1997. No borrowing beyond the existing credit
         facilities is anticipated.

         Through the first quarter ended June 30, 1996, net cash used in
         operating activities was $231,000 as compared to $2,009,000 of net cash
         provided by operating activities through the first quarter ended July
         2, 1995. Net cash used in operating activities was impacted by a
         significant reduction in supplier accounts payable.

         At June 30, 1996, the Company's net working capital and current ratio
         were $1,291,000 and 1.17 to 1, respectively, as compared to net working
         capital of zero and current ratio of 1 to 1 at March 31, 1996. The
         improvement in working capital was primarily attributable to the equity
         infusion which was primarily used to reduce supplier and bank debt.

         At June 30, 1996, the Company was in compliance with its loan covenants
         and current in its principal and interest payments on all debt.
