                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Organization, Operation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

General

        The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Disc
Graphics, Inc. (the "Company") without audit. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While the
Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading, it is recommended that these financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the
notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the Company's Transition
Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1995. The December 31,
1995 figures included herein were derived from the audited consolidated
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the information furnished
herein reflects all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present such
information. These adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments and
adjustments made for the acquisition of Pointille, Inc.

The Merger

          On October 30, 1995, the Company, then known as RCL Capital Corp.
("RCL"), consummated the merger (the "Merger") pursuant to the Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated as of May 8, 1995 (the "Merger Agreement") between RCL and
Disc Graphics, Inc., a New York corporation ("Old Disc"). Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, (i) Old Disc merged with and into RCL, (ii) RCL's name was changed to
Disc Graphics, Inc., and (iii) all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common
Stock, no par value, and Class B Common Stock, no par value, of Old Disc were
converted into (a) an aggregate of 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Company and (b) and an aggregate of 1,000,000 warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, one-quarter of which shall
be exercised at a price of each of $7.00, $8.00, $9.00 and $10.00.

Potential Future Issuance of  Shares of Common Stock by the Company

        Pursuant to the Merger Agreement as modified by a certain Agreement
dated as of October 30, 1995 by and among certain stockholders of RCL (the "RCL
Stockholders") and the former shareholders of Old Disc (the "Old Disc
Shareholders") and RCL, if the Old Disc Shareholders subsequently determine from
time to time until up to five years after October 30, 1995 (the "Effective
Time") that, as of the Effective Time, either (i) RCL did not have cash or
marketable securities with a fair market value as of the Effective Time of not
less than $6,000,000 (the actual amount of cash and marketable securities held
by RCL as of the Effective Time, the "First Amount") or (ii) the cash and
marketable securities of RCL did not exceed all liabilities of RCL of any kind
or nature (whether fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured) (including,
without limitation, all liabilities based upon, relating to or arising from any
actions taken by or on behalf of RCL or the failure of RCL to take any actions
prior

(continued):

to the Effective Time or any facts or circumstances existing prior to the
Effective Time, which in any such case results in any liabilities, obligations
or claims against the Company after the Effective Time (all such liabilities
collectively, the "RCL Liabilities")), by not less than $6,000,000 (the actual
amount of cash and marketable securities held by RCL as of the Effective Time
less such liabilities, the "Second Amount"), then promptly upon notice of such
determination by the Old Disc Shareholders to the Company, the Company shall
issue to such Old Disc Shareholders, on a pro rata basis based on the number of
shares of Old Disc Common Stock held by such shareholders immediately prior to
the Effective Time, the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "RCL
Designated Shares") sufficient (without duplication) to increase the percentage
ownership of the Company by all of such shareholders that such shareholders
would have had immediately after the Effective Time (excluding, any RCL
Indemnity Shares (as defined below) issued after the Effective Time) from 60.23%
to a percentage determined by the dividing (i) $9,075,000 by (ii) the sum of
$9,075,000 and the First Amount or the Second Amount, as the case may be. If, at
any time or from time to time, the excess of $6,000,000 over the First Amount or
the Second Amount is more than $100,000 on a cumulative basis, the number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock to be issued to such Old Disc Shareholders
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be equal to two times the
number of RCL Designated Shares and if, at any time or from time to time, such
excess is more than $1,000,000, the number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock to be issued to such Old Disc Shareholders shall be equal to three times
the number of RCL Designated Shares (The shares of the Company's Common Stock
issuable from time to time pursuant to this provision are collectively referred
to as the "RCL Indemnity Shares").

          Notwithstanding the provision of the Merger Agreement described in the
immediately preceding paragraph, the RCL Stockholders and the Old Disc
Shareholders have entered into an agreement (the "Letter Agreement") pursuant to
which the RCL Stockholders will transfer to the Old Disc Shareholders' shares of
the Company's Common Stock owned by the RCL Stockholders instead of the Company
issuing certain shares of its Common Stock to the Old Disc Shareholders, but
only if and to the extent that net assets are between $4,900,00 and $5,304,750.
"Net assets" means RCL's cash and marketable securities at the Effective Time
less the RCL Liabilities.

          Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Letter Agreement described
above, the RCL Stockholders, the Old Disc Shareholders and the Company have
agreed that the Company will issue 342,256 shares of its Common Stock to the Old
Disc Shareholders and the RCL Stockholders will transfer 60,000 shares of Common
Stock of the Company to the Old Disc Shareholders. It is expected that these
transactions will be completed by December 31, 1996.

Net Income Per Share

        Net income per share is computed based upon the weighted average number
of shares outstanding for the period. Outstanding warrants were not included in
the computation as their effect is antidilutive to net income per share.

Amortization of Costs in Excess of Fair Market Value of Net Assets Acquired

        Costs in excess of fair market value of net assets acquired are being
amortized over a period of 15 years by the straight-line method.

Note 2 - Acquisition

               On May 17, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets and certain liabilities of Pointille, Inc., a California based printing
company ("Pointille") , for $621,578 in cash, the issuance of 74,074 shares of
the Company's Common Stock, and the issuance of a promissory note in the amount
of $330,000 (principal and interest), payable in 36 equal monthly installments
of principal and interest beginning on June 17, 1996 (the "Acquisition"). The
Company recorded the value of the 74,074 shares of the Company's Common Stock
issued at the estimated fair value at the date of the Acquisition. The
Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The net worth of
Pointille as of May 17, 1996 has not yet been finalized; therefore, an estimate
of the allocation of the purchase price was made on the basis of currently
available information.

                The allocation of the purchase price of Pointille was as
follows:

Note 2 - Acquisitions (continued):

        These unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative
purposes only and include certain adjustments such as (i) additional
amortization expense due to goodwill resulting from the Acquisition and (ii) an
increased interest expense due to cash borrowed under the Company's financing
agreement with Fleet Bank for the payment of the purchase price and the
repayment of Pointille's bank line of credit and notes payable (which was
partially offset by the payment of Pointille's bank line of credit and notes
payable). These unaudited proforma results do not purport to be indicative of
the results of operations which actually would have resulted had the purchase
been effected on January 1, 1995, nor of future results of operations of the
consolidated entities. For purposes of pro forma and interim reporting, the
financial information of Pointille, which was on a February 28 fiscal year, was
adjusted to conform with the Company's reporting periods.

        The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of
consolidated results of operations of the Company and Pointille as if the

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

        On May 18, 1996, Disc Graphics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of
Pointille, Inc., a California corporation ("Pointille" or the "California
Office"), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated as of May 17, 1996, by
and among the Company, Pointille and the sole shareholder of Pointille (the
"Asset Purchase Agreement"). The purchase price consisted of $775,000 in cash,
74,074 shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, and a
promissory note in the amount of $330,000, payable in 36 equal monthly
installments of principal and interest beginning on June 17, 1996.

        Pointille was a manufacturer of packaging for the video, music, and CD
ROM software markets. The Company believes that the acquisition of the
California Office positions the Company to compete in the west coast markets,
particularly with respect to software packaging.

     THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

RESULT OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES

        Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were
$12,773,000, compared to $10,395,000 for the same period the prior year,
representing an increase of $2,378,000, or 22.9%. This increase was primarily
due to the acquisition of the California Office which had net sales of
$1,977,000. The categories of the business which experienced significant growth
in this quarter compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995 were
video/software packaging, which increased $1,089,000, or 42%, music/audio
packaging which increased $541,000, or 29%, and consumer product packaging,
which increased $402,000, or 12%. The growth in video/software packaging was
primarily due to the increase in CD ROM packaging sales in the Company's New
York and California offices. The impact to the Company of the general downturn
in the cassette segment of the music industry has been partially offset by the
$671,000 of music/audio packaging sales from the California Office.

     Label and commercial sales increased $92,000 and $311,000, or 14% and 38%,
respectively, over the same period the prior year. Pharmaceutical/vitamin
packaging sales have declined by $54,000, or 5%, from $1,056,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 to $1,002,000 during the same period of the
prior year.

GROSS PROFIT

        Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was
$3,538,000 (a 27.7% profit margin), compared to $2,084,000 (a 20% profit margin)
for the same period of the prior year, representing an increase of $1,454,000,
or 70%. The increase was due to a 22.9% increase in sales coupled with the
decline in cost as a percentage of sales. The decrease in cost of sales as a
percent of sales was a result of manufacturing efficiencies from improved
processes and the purchase of new equipment.


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

        Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 were $2,119,000, compared to $1,507,000 for the
same period of the prior year, an increase of $612,000, or 41%. This increase in
SG&A expenses was due primarily to professional fees and the cost of insurance
related to the Company's public status and costs of the California Office.

INTEREST EXPENSE

        Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was
$244,000, compared to $245,000 for the same period of the prior year. Interest
expense includes interest on notes payable to the Company's bank lender and
capital lease obligations on equipment. There was no material change in interest
expense because debt reduction from the utilization of the proceeds of the
Merger described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained
herein was offset by increased debt related to the acquisition of the California
Office and capital expenditures for equipment.

INCOME TAXES

        The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30,
1996 was $506,000, compared to $143,000 for the same period of the prior year,
an increase of $363,000, or 253%. This increase was due to the increase in
pretax income of $844,000 at the effective tax rate of approximately 43%.

NET INCOME

        Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $671,000,
compared to $190,000 for the same period of the prior year, an increase of
$481,000, or 253%. This increase in net income was a result of an increase in
net sales of 23% along with the management of manufacturing costs resulting in
cost of goods sold declining as a percentage of net sales from 80% in the three
months ended September 30, 1995 to 72% in the three months ended September 30,
1996.

     NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES

        Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $31,229,000,
compared to $27,461,000 for the same period the prior year, representing an
increase of $3,768,000, or 13.7%. This increase was primarily due to the
acquisition of the California Office which had net sales of $2,763,000 for the
period from May 18, 1996 to September 30, 1996. The categories of the business
which experienced significant growth were video/software packaging, which
increased $1,994,000, or 31%, and consumer product packaging, which increased
$1,399,000, or 18%, over the same nine month period the prior year. The growth
in video/software packaging sales was primarily due to the increase in CD ROM
packaging sales in both the Company's New York and California offices. Label and
commercial sales increased $192,000 and $339,000, or 10% and 13%, respectively
over the nine month period in 1995.

        Music/audio packaging sales decreased by $39,000, or 1%, from $5,468,000
to $5,429,000 for the first nine months of 1996, compared to the same period in
1995. The impact to the Company of the general downturn in the cassette segment
of the music industry has been partially offset by the $953,000 of music/audio
packaging sales from the California Office. Pharmaceutical/vitamin packaging
sales also decreased $121,000, or 3%, from $3,552,000 to $3,431,000, compared
with the same period the prior year.

GROSS PROFIT

        Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $7,677,000
(a 24.6% profit margin), compared to $5,611,000 (a 20.4% profit margin) for the
same period of the prior year, representing an increase of $2,066,000, or 37%.
The increase was due to an increase in sales coupled with the decline in cost of
goods sold as a percentage of sales and the addition of sales made by the
California Office. Sales made by the California Office resulted in gross profit
of $441,000 (a 15% profit margin). The decrease in cost was a result of
manufacturing efficiencies resulting from improved processes and the purchase of
equipment. The investment in more efficient equipment and the Company's work to
improve processes resulted in a four percent decrease in cost of goods sold as a
percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

        Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 were $5,459,000, compared to $4,348,000 for the
same period of the prior year, an increase of $1,111,000, or 26%. This increase
in SG&A expenses was due primarily to professional fees and the cost of
insurance related to the Company's public status and costs of the California
Office.

INTEREST EXPENSE

        Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
$649,000, compared to $650,000 for the same period of the prior year. Interest
expense includes interest on notes payable to the Company's bank lender and
capital lease obligations on equipment. There was no material change in interest
expense because debt reduction from the utilization of the proceeds of the
Merger described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained
herein was offset by increased debt related to the acquisition of the California
Office and capital expenditures for equipment.

INCOME TAXES

        The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 was $693,000, compared to $264,000 for the same period of the prior year,
an increase of $429,000, or 163%. This increase was due primarily to the
increase in pretax income of $1,003,000 at the effective tax rate of
approximately 43%.

NET INCOME

        Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $918,000,
compared to $345,000 for the same period of the prior year, an increase of
$573,000, or 166%. This increase in net income was a result of an increase in
net sales of approximately 14% along with the management of manufacturing costs
resulting in the cost of goods sold declining as a percentage of net sales from
79.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 75.4% for the same period
in 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND  CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The primary source of cash for the Company's business has been cash flow
from the operations and borrowings under the financing agreement with the
Company's bank lender (the "Financing Agreement"). As of September 30, 1996, the
Company had working capital of $5,832,000. Net cash used in operating activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $2,536,000.

        For the remainder of 1996, the Company anticipates capital expenditures
of $250,000 primarily for purchases of manufacturing equipment and information
systems. The Company's purchase of the California Office included a net cash
payment of $621,578 which the Company borrowed under its Financing Agreement.

        The Financing Agreement allows the Company to borrow an amount equal to
the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus 70% of the value of rolled
paper inventory up to a maximum of $8,500,000. Amounts outstanding under the
Financing Agreement bear interest at an annual rate of 1% over the prime rate of
the Company's lender. As of September 30, 1996, the Company had approximately
$6,400,000 available for borrowing under the Financing Agreement. As of
September 30, 1996, the Company had borrowed approximately $2,094,000 and the
interest rate per annum thereon was 9.25%. The Company has substantially
completed negotiating a new financing agreement with its bank lender with a more
favorable interest rate than the current agreement.

        Based on its existing Financing Agreement and income from operations,
the Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its
operating needs and capital requirements through 1996. The Company may require
or choose to obtain additional borrowings to fund future capital expenditures
and/or acquisitions.
