              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

General

         The  consolidated   financial  statements  included  herein  have  been
prepared by Disc Graphics,  Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") without audit.
Certain   information  and  footnote   disclosures   normally  included  in  the
consolidated 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.  Although the Company believes that the
disclosures   herein  are  adequate  to  make  the  information   presented  not
misleading,  it is  recommended  that  these  financial  statements  be  read in
conjunction  with the audited  Consolidated  Financial  Statements and the Notes
thereto for the year ended  December 31, 1998 included in the  Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended  December 31,  1998.  The December
31, 1998 figures  included  herein were  derived from such audited  Consolidated
Financial  Statements.  In the opinion of management,  the information furnished
herein  reflects  all  adjustments  that are  necessary  to present  fairly such
information.

Acquisition

         On July 1, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets and certain  liabilities of Contemporary Color Graphics,  Inc.
("CCG") (the "Acquisition"), a commercial printer. The Company paid $3.5 million
of the purchase price in cash, and paid the balance by issuing a promissory note
in the  amount  of $1.0  million,  a  supplemental  note in the  amount  of $1.0
million,  convertible  debentures in the amount of $0.6 million and assumed debt
of approximately $1.3 million, subject to adjustment.  The Company paid the cash
portion  of the  purchase  price  from  borrowings  under its  revolving  credit
facility. Principal payments will commence on August 1, 2000 with respect to the
promissory  note and  debentures,  and on August 1,  2003  with  respect  to the
supplemental  note. CCG has the option of converting the debentures  into shares
of the  Company's  common  stock,  valued at $5.50 per  share,  at least 30 days
before any principal or interest payment on the debentures.  The Acquisition was
accounted  for using the purchase  method of accounting  and in accordance  with
generally accepted accounting  principles.  The allocation of the purchase price
has been based on management's best estimate of the fair value of the assets and
liabilities assumed as of July 1, 1999.

         The  following  unaudited  pro forma  results  have been  prepared  for
comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments such as (i) additional
amortization  expense due to goodwill (15 years) and the covenant not to compete
(5 years) resulting from the Acquisition and (ii) increased interest expense due
to cash borrowed under the Company's  financing agreement for the payment of the
purchase price, the repayment of CCG's notes payable and the note,  supplemental
note and convertible debenture issued by the Company.  These unaudited pro forma
results  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results of  operations  which
actually  would have resulted had the purchase been effected on January 1, 1998,
nor of future results of operations of the consolidated entities.

Earnings Per Share

         Earnings per share are computed in  accordance  with the  provisions of
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 128. Basic earnings per
share are computed by dividing income available to common  stockholders  (which,
for the Company,  equals its recorded net income) by the weighted average number
of common  shares  outstanding  during the period.  Diluted  earnings  per share
reflect the potential dilution that would occur if all securities exercisable or
exchangeable   for  or  convertible  into  shares  of  common  stock  that  were
outstanding during the period,  such as stock options,  warrants and convertible
debentures,  were  exercised or exchanged for or converted into shares of common
stock.  The  computation  of weighted  average  shares  outstanding  used in the
calculation  of diluted  earnings  per share does not  include  shares of common
stock that would be  issuable  upon the  exercise of the  Company's  outstanding
Class A Warrants or the  conversion of the  convertible  debenture,  because the
exercise  price of such  warrants  and the  conversion  rate of such  debentures
exceeded  the market  price of the  Company's  common  stock during the relevant
periods.

Item  2.  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition And
          Results of Operations

General

      The  following  discussion  and analysis of the  financial  condition  and
results of operations of Disc Graphics, Inc. and its subsidiaries  (collectively
"Disc  Graphics" or the "Company")  for the three- and nine-month  periods ended
September 30, 1999 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated
Financial  Statements and the Notes thereto  included  elsewhere in this Report,
and the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December
31, 1998, as filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (the "1998 Form
10-K").  Results for the periods reported herein are not necessarily  indicative
of results that may be expected for the full year or in future periods.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998

Net Sales

      Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were approximately
$18,972,000  compared to approximately  $15,674,000 for the same period in 1998,
representing an increase of approximately  $3,298,000,  or 21.0%.  This increase
was primarily attributable to an approximate $1,484,000 increase in net sales of
commercial  packaging  products,  as well as increases in net sales of all other
product categories.  The increase in net sales of commercial  packaging products
resulted from the Company's  acquisition on July 1, 1999 of  Contemporary  Color
Graphics, Inc. ("CCG") (the "Acquisition").  The Company continues to experience
industry-wide  pressure  to reduce  the  per-unit  price in most  categories  of
products, and has somewhat offset price reductions by increasing the unit volume
of sales of these products. See "Gross Profit," below.

Gross Profit

      The Company  recognized gross profit of approximately  $4,903,000 (a 25.8%
profit  margin) for the three months ended  September  30, 1999,  as compared to
approximately  $4,448,000  (a 28.4% profit  margin) for the same period in 1998,
representing  an increase of  approximately  $455,000,  or 10.2%.  The increased
dollar amount is primarily due to the increase in net sales. The decrease of 2.6
percentage  points in gross profit  margin is due to industry  wide  pressure to
reduce the per-unit price in

                                      - 9 -

<PAGE>



most product categories,  along with expenses related to the installation of the
Company's new 56 inch high-speed  diecutter and facility  preparation for its 56
inch seven color press. The installation of this new equipment and the expansion
of our Hauppauge  facility,  by leasing additional space, will continue into the
first several months of the year 2000 and may continue to have an adverse impact
on earnings.  The Company  believes that its  integration  of this new equipment
should enhance its operating  efficiencies and improve its ability to compete in
new  markets,  but there can be no  assurance  that the Company  will be able to
achieve these goals. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

      Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months
ended  September  30, 1999 were  approximately  $3,404,000  (17.9% of net sales)
compared to approximately  $2,694,000 (17.2% of net sales) for the same period a
year ago, an increase of approximately  $711,000.  The increase in dollar amount
of SG&A is primarily due to normal  operating  expenses and the  amortization of
goodwill,  in each case associated with the Acquisition.  In addition,  on April
29,  1999,  the  Company  entered  into a  consulting  agreement  with a Quality
Registrar to assist the Company in becoming ISO certified.  The Company  expects
to receive its ISO 9001  certification  in the year 2000.  The  Company  expects
there to be direct consulting and indirect  operating  expenses  associated with
this project over the next year, which may impact future operating results.  The
Company believes that this investment will ultimately transform the processes of
the  organization to achieve  improved  product  quality  delivered on time. The
Company  believes that this commitment to improve customer  satisfaction  should
enhance its  competitive  edge in current and new  markets,  but there can be no
assurance of this.  The remainder of the increase is due to normal  inflationary
increases,  and  revenue  related  expenses  such as  freight to  customers  and
commissions. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Net Interest Expense

      Net interest  expense for the three months  ended  September  30, 1999 was
approximately $251,000 compared to approximately $170,000 for the same period in
the prior year.  Interest expense includes  interest payable under the Company's
revolving  credit facility,  its capital lease  obligations on equipment and its
note, supplemental note and debenture issued in connection with the Acquisition.
The increase in net interest  expense is due to increased  borrowings  under the
Company's  revolving  credit facility and accrued  interest payable on the note,
supplemental note and debenture related to the Acquisition.

Income Taxes

      The  provision  for income taxes for the three months ended  September 30,
1999 was  $500,000  compared to  approximately  $635,000  for the same period in
1998,  a  decrease  of  approximately  $135,000.  This  decrease  was due to the
decrease in pre-tax  income,  with no  significant  change in the  effective tax
rate.


Net Income

      Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was approximately
$748,000,  compared to  approximately  $951,000 for the same period in the prior
year,  a  decrease  of  approximately  $202,000,  or 21.3%.  This  decrease  was
primarily due to industry  wide pricing  pressure  which has adversely  impacted
SG&A, and accordingly, gross margins.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998

Net Sales

      Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were  approximately
$48,575,000  compared to approximately  $42,592,000 for the same period in 1998,
representing  an increase of  approximately  $5,983,000,  or 14.0%.  The product
categories that significantly contributed to the increase in net sales for

                                     - 10 -

<PAGE>



the 1999 nine month period are video and  entertainment  software  packaging and
music/audio  packaging.  Within the video and entertainment  software  category,
entertainment software, specifically computer games, continues to be the primary
driver in sales growth.  Music/audio  packaging sales also increased as a result
of increased  unit volume  within this  category,  which  enabled the Company to
offset pricing pressures in the music/video packaging industry.

Gross Profit

      The Company recognized gross profit of approximately  $12,419,000 (a 25.6%
profit  margin) for the nine months ended  September  30,  1999,  as compared to
approximately  $11,185,000  (a 26.3% profit margin) for the same period in 1998,
representing an increase of  approximately  $1,233,000,  or 11.0%. The increased
dollar amount is primarily due to the increase in net sales. The decrease of 0.7
percentage  points in gross profit  margin is due to industry  wide  pressure to
reduce the per-unit price in several categories, along with the costs related to
facility  expansion  and the  installation  of new  equipment.  The  Company  is
continuing  its focus on improving  manufacturing  processes and making  capital
investments in more efficient equipment. See "Results of Operation for the Three
Months Ended  September  30, 1999 and 1998 -- Gross Profit" and  "Liquidity  and
Capital Resources".

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

      Selling,  general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1999 were  approximately  $9,022,000  (18.6% of net sales)
compared to approximately  $7,848,000 (18.4% of net sales) for the same period a
year ago, an increase of approximately  $1,174,000.  The increase in SG&A is due
in part to normal operating expenses and amortization of goodwill,  in each case
related to the  Acquisition.  The Company  also  incurred  both  consulting  and
operating  expenses in the first three  quarters of 1999 in connection  with the
preliminary stages of its ISO 9001 certification  process.  The remainder of the
increase is due to other  normal  inflationary  increases  and  revenue  related
expenses such as freight to customers and commissions. See "Result of Operations
for the Three Months Ended  September  30, 1999 and 1998 - Selling,  General and
Administrative Expenses".

Net Interest Expense

      Net  interest  expense for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999 was
approximately $482,000 compared to approximately $512,000 for the same period of
the prior year.  Interest expense includes  interest payable under the Company's
revolving  credit facility,  its capital lease  obligations on equipment and its
note, supplemental note and debenture issued in connection with the Acquisition.
Between the comparison  periods,  borrowing has generally  decreased,  offset in
part by the increased borrowing in July 1999 in connection with the Acquisition.
The net  change  was a slight  decline  in  interest  expense  of  approximately
$30,000.  The  Company's  outstanding  borrowings  will  continue  to  result in
increased interest expense in future periods.

Income Taxes

      The  provision  for income taxes for the nine months ended  September  30,
1999 was $1,165,000 compared to approximately  $1,125,000 for the same period in
1998,  an  increase  of  approximately  $40,000.  This  increase  was due to the
increase in pre-tax  income,  with no  significant  change in the  effective tax
rate.

Net Income

      Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was  approximately
$1,749,000,  compared  to  approximately  $1,701,000  for the same period in the
prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The primary  source of cash for the  Company's  business has been cash
flow from operations and

                                     - 11 -

<PAGE>



availability under the Company's $10 million revolving credit facility.  Cash as
of September  30, 1999 was  approximately  $154,000,  compared to  approximately
$68,000 as of September  30, 1998.  Cash flow from  operations in the first nine
months  of  1999  decreased  to  approximately   $1,517,000  from  approximately
$2,822,000  in the first nine months of 1998  primarily as a result of increased
security  deposits  paid by the Company for the  diecutter  and press  discussed
below.   As  of  September  30,  1999,  the  Company  had  working   capital  of
approximately  $8,553,000  and $3,460,000 was available to the Company under its
revolving credit facility.

          On  July  1,  1999,   the  Company   completed  the   acquisition   of
substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of CCG. The Company paid
$3.5  million of the purchase  price in cash,  and paid the balance by issuing a
promissory note in the amount of $1.0 million, a supplemental note in the amount
of $1.0  million,  a  convertible  debenture  in the amount of $0.6  million and
assumed debt of approximately $1.3 million,  subject to adjustment.  The Company
paid the cash portion of the  purchase  price and expects to service the assumed
debt from borrowings  under its revolving credit  facility.  Principal  payments
will  commence  on  August  1,  2000 with  respect  to the  promissory  note and
debenture,  and on August 1, 2003 with respect to the supplemental note. CCG has
the option of  converting  the  debenture  into shares of the  Company's  common
stock,  valued at $5.50 per  share,  at least 30 days  before any  principal  or
interest payment on the debenture. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company's
total   indebtedness   and  future  debt  service   obligations  have  increased
significantly  from prior levels. The Company intends to fund these debt service
obligations  from  operating cash flow in future  periods,  and believes that it
will have sufficient  funds to do so. There can be no assurance,  however,  that
the Company will be able to integrate CCG's business successfully or realize any
benefit from the Acquisition,  or that revenues  attributable to the Acquisition
will be sufficient to offset the Company's debt service obligations.

      During the nine months ended  September 30, 1999,  the Company  incurred a
total of $1.65 million of capital  improvements  in connection with the purchase
of and  preparation  for the  installation of a new 56 inch high speed diecutter
and 56 inch seven color  press.  The  Company is  obligated  to make  additional
installment payments and expects to incur additional  installation costs related
to this  equipment  in future  periods.  However,  the Company is  currently  in
negotiations  with certain  lenders to  refinance,  by entering  into  operating
leases,  substantially  all of the $1.65  million  costs  incurred to date,  and
expects to  complete  these  negotiations  by fourth  quarter  1999 or the first
quarter of 2000. In addition,  the Company  anticipates  that it will enter into
approximately $8 to $9 million of operating leases for additional  manufacturing
equipment during the remainder of 1999 and during the first quarter of 2000. The
installation  of the  diecutter,  press  and  future  additional  equipment  are
intended primarily to increase capacity and further improve plant  efficiencies.
However,  there can be no assurance  that the Company will be able to enter into
operating leases for such equipment on satisfactory terms, that the installation
of such  equipment will result in improved  efficiencies,  or that the Company's
future results of operations will be improved as a result of any such plans.

Year 2000 Compliance

      The  Company  has  substantially  completed  the  process of  identifying,
assessing and developing contingency plans to address problems that may arise as
a result of the inability of the Company's  computers,  or those of its material
vendors and customers,  to properly  recognize and manipulate  dates in the Year
2000 ("Y2K")  beginning  with the first two digits "20" instead of "19".  In its
evaluation  process,  the Company considers a computer to be Year 2000 compliant
if: (a) any valid date,  both  before and after  December  31,  1999  (including
February 29, 2000), does not cause an interruption in the desired operation; and
(b) (i) the computer will correctly sort,  calculate and compare all dates;  and
(ii) if the  first  two  digits of the date are  implicit,  ( i.e.,  the date is
represented by only 2 digits,  e.g.,  "99" for "1999" and "00" for "2000"),  the
computer  will  interpret the dates  consistently  and with the result that "99"
always means 1999, and "00" always means 2000).

      The Company's  evaluation of the Year 2000 problem included the assessment
of its computer  systems and its equipment and other systems that are controlled
or monitored by computers  or embedded  computer  chips,  and the ability of its
critical  vendors and customers to ensure timely  delivery of goods and services
and

                                     - 12 -

<PAGE>



payment of invoices, respectively.

      In March 1997, the Company  installed a  fully-integrated  computer system
that is Year 2000 compliant. The software calculates the date incrementally from
a fixed past  date,  using a  five-byte  data field  (compared  to the  standard
two-byte data field). For example,  from the date of March 1, 1916, the software
can  calculate  incrementally  99,999 days from that fixed  date,  approximately
until the year 2189.  Each software  module has been examined to confirm that it
uses the five-byte date field in all date sorts,  calculations  and comparisons.
During the fourth  quarter of 1998,  the  Company  performed  a full test of the
software by advancing the date past 2000  (including  February 29, 2000) and ran
each  software  module  with test data to  confirm  empirically  that the system
accommodates the century rollover.  The test confirmed that all mission critical
modules are Y2K compliant. Several modules contained two or eight character date
fields that are not used in calculations,  and are not adversely affected by the
date change.  One module that contained a two-character  date field that is used
in  calculations  was fixed and fully tested.  During the third quarter of 1999,
the Company conducted additional in-house tests to verify tests performed by the
software manufacturer, and will continue such tests during the fourth quarter.

      The Company has also tested the Year 2000  compatibility  of each  desktop
and  portable  computer  and each  piece of  equipment  containing  an  embedded
computer chip, by confirming  empirically  that each computer and its associated
software and each piece of equipment will function properly with dates occurring
both before and after 2000.  The tests  confirmed  that each  personal  computer
either is Y2K compliant or will function properly.

      The  Company's  business  could be  materially  effected  if its  material
vendors and  customers,  or other vendors or customers that in the aggregate may
be material,  are not themselves  Year 2000  compliant.  In  particular,  if the
Company is unable to obtain  necessary  supplies,  services or critical  machine
parts,  its  operations  could suffer.  If its major  customers or a significant
number of its other customers are unable to make payments or continue purchases,
the  Company's  cash flow could suffer.  The  inability of certain  utilities to
supply power or telephone service after the rollover could also adversely affect
the  Company's  operations.  In order to assess and address such  problems,  the
Company  surveyed all its vendors and customers to determine  their likely state
of Year 2000  compliance at the rollover.  The survey revealed that all material
vendors  and  customers  report  that they are Y2K  compliant  or will be before
December 31, 1999.  The  Company's is  continuing to monitor the progress of its
customers and vendors towards Y2K compliance.

      Although  the Company is  currently  unaware of any vendor or customer who
will  not be Year  2000  compliant,  it  has,  and  will  continue  to  develop,
contingency  plans in the event any vendors or customers are unable, in the Year
2000,  to  fulfill  their  supply or  payment  obligations  to the  Company.  In
particular,  the Company has taken steps to ensure that no significant vendor is
a sole-source or limited-source  supplier, by arranging multiple sources for all
critical  resources,  by  warehousing  or stocking a limited  supply of critical
materials and parts, and by developing the ability to fabricate critical machine
parts in an in-house facility.

      The Company has reviewed with its insurer whether present policies provide
any coverage  for  potential  business  losses and  liability  to third  parties
resulting from the Company's  failure or inability to be Year 2000 compliant due
to factors not under its  control.  The insurer  has advised  that the  relevant
policies do not contain  exclusions  for Y2K related  losses and that each claim
would be evaluated during the normal adjusting process.

      The Company has established a Year 2000 Compliance Committee to assess the
impact of the Year 2000 problem on the Company's business and to ensure its Year
2000  compliance.  The Committee is co- chaired by the Vice  President for Legal
Affairs  and  the  Management  Information  Systems  Manager,  and  consists  of
representatives  from  all  major  departments  and all  facilities  within  the
Company.  Management has committed all resources,  both financial and personnel,
reasonably  necessary to achieve Year 2000 compliance  and/or  implementation of
contingency  plans for events outside its control.  The Company does not believe
that the costs it has incurred to date or  currently  expects to incur in future
periods are or will be material, in the aggregate, primarily because these costs
have been and will be incurred in connection with projects begun before,  and/or
budgeted without regard to, the Company's Year 2000 compliance efforts.

          Although the Company  believes it is fully Year 2000 compliant,  there
can be no assurance that the

                                     - 13 -

<PAGE>

Company has successfully identified all systems,  vendors or customers which are
not  Year  2000   compliant,   that  the  Company  will  not  have  to  increase
significantly its expenditures relating to any such non-compliance,  or that its
business will not be materially adversely affected by any such non-compliance.

Item 3.            Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      The Company  finances  the  purchase  of  production  equipment  and other
capital expenditures through long-term debt and/or capital leases. The stated or
implicit  interest  rates on such  obligations  are  generally  fixed.  In those
instances  where rates are  variable,  the Company will  generally  fix the rate
through an interest  rate swap  agreement.  Accordingly,  the  Company  does not
believe it is materially exposed to changes in interest rates.

      The  Company  does not have any sales,  purchases,  assets or  liabilities
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and as such is not subject
to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

      In the opinion of the  Company's  management,  there are no pending  legal
proceedings,  other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company's
business,  which either  individually  or in the  aggregate are likely to have a
