              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              ----------------------------------------------------

General
-------

     The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
Disc Graphics, Inc., and its subsidiaries (collectively,  the "Company") without
audit.  Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included  in
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  made herein are  adequate  to make the  information  presented  not
misleading,  it is recommended that these consolidated  financial  statements be
read in conjunction with the audited  consolidated  financial statements and the
Notes  thereto for the year ended  December 31, 1999  included in the  Company's
Annual  Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended  December  31,  1999.  The
December  31, 1999  figures  included  herein  were  derived  from such  audited
consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the information
furnished herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to
present fairly such information.

Acquisition
-----------


     On July 1, 1999, the Company acquired  substantially  all of the assets and
certain  liabilities of Contemporary Color Graphics,  Inc. ("CCG"), a commercial
printer (the  "Acquisition").  The notes to the audited  consolidated  financial
statements  referred  to  above  contain  a  description  of  the  terms  of the
Acquisition.  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 a 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 a 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, 1999,
nor of future results of operations of the  consolidated  entities.


                                          Nine Months Ended
                                          September 30, 1999
                                          ------------------
                                  (In thousands, except per share amounts)


                  Net sales                $52,193
                  Net income                 1,549
                  Net income per share:
                      Basic                    .28
                      Diluted                  .28

     During the second  quarter,  the Company  adjusted the goodwill  associated
with the acquisition of CCG by  approximately  $185,000 to properly  reflect the
value of certain assets and liabilities  assumed as of the acquisition  date. In
accordance  with the terms of the acquisition  agreement an adjustment  would be
made to the  purchase  price as a result of the actual  fair value of assets and
liabilities  acquired.  The Company is currently in negotiations with the former
owners of CCG  regarding the  finalization  of the  adjustments  in the purchase
price due to further  modifications  to minimum net worth levels of the business
acquired.

     The principal amount due on the promissory note and convertible  debentures
on  August  1, 2000 of  $320,000  was not paid  because  minimum  sales  amounts
required under the asset purchase agreement were not achieved. In addition, as a
result of the sales shortfall, the remaining balances of the promissory note and

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

convertible  debenture was reduced by an additional  $84,000. As a result of the
downward  adjustment,  goodwill was also adjusted  accordingly  in the amount of
$404,000.  During the third quarter, the Company reversed  approximately $42,000
of interest expense accrued on the principal obligations.

Inventories
-----------

        Inventories consist of the following:

                                September 30, 2000          December 31, 1999

                                   ==========                 ==========

Consolidation of Facility
-------------------------

     In March 2000,  the  Company  announced  that it would  close its  Edgewood
facility and consolidate its operations with its Hauppauge, New York facility. A
summary of the charges relating to the  consolidation of facilities is presented
below:

         Severance                         $ 40,000
         Loss on sale of equipment          229,000
         Lease termination costs             44,000
         Other                               11,000
                                         ----------

         Total                             $324,000
                                           ========

     These charges for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 are included in
cost of sales and general and administrative expenses in the amounts of $315,000
and $9,000,  respectively,  and were  recorded in the first quarter of the year.
The  consolidation  of this  facility has been  completed  and all severance and
other  payments  have been made.  There  were no  changes  in the total  amounts
accrued as  compared  to the actual  total  costs  incurred.  In  addition,  all
accruals for expenses related to the  consolidation of facilities were exhausted
by September 30.

Long Term Debt
--------------

     As a result of the net loss in the second  quarter of 2000, the Company did
not meet certain  financial  covenants  contained  in its $15 million  revolving
credit facility (the "Credit  Agreement").  On August 10, 2000, the lender under
the Credit Agreement waived compliance by the Company with the covenants for the
second  quarter  and  issued a  Commitment  Letter to amend  certain  covenants.
Accordingly,  the borrowings  outstanding have been classified as long-term debt
on the  accompanying  balance  sheet at  September  30,  2000.  The terms of the
amended Credit Agreement  include  covenants which provide,  among other things,
that  the  Company  meet  certain  financial   performance   criteria  including
maintenance of specified net worth levels and debt service ratios.

     On July 10, 2000, the Company  obtained an increase to the amount available
under the Credit  Agreement  from $15 million to $16.5  million until October 6,
2000.  The Company is currently  negotiating  an extension to the  increase.  At
September 30, 2000,  $1,050,000 was outstanding under the extension and has been
classified as current  maturities of long term debt in the accompanying  balance
sheet.

Subsequent Event
----------------

      On October 25, 2000, Allied Digital Technologies, Corp. ("Allied"), one of
the Company's long term customers,  filed a voluntary  petition for relief under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States  Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware.  For the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000,  Allied
accounted for 3.9% of the Company's  sales.  The Company  believes its allowance
for doubtful  accounts is adequate to cover any loss it may incur as a result of
Allied's bankruptcy.

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 nine-month  period ended September 30,
2000 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,
1999,  as filed with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the "1999 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, 2000 and 1999
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net Sales
---------

     Net sales for the three months ended  September  30, 2000 were  $17,804,000
compared to $18,972,000 for the same period in 1999,  representing a decrease of
$1,168,000,  or 6.2%. The $1,168,000  decline in revenues was due principally to
decreased  sales to  commercial  customers.  The decrease in sales to commercial
customers was  partially  the result of the Company's  decision to eliminate low
margin  and  unprofitable  commercial  sales in an  effort  to  concentrate  our
resources  on  more   profitable   sectors  within  the   commercial   category.
Additionally,  the quarter's  results were influenced by lower than  anticipated
sales from existing and potential new customers.

Gross Profit
------------

     The Company  recognized gross profit of $3,299,000 (an 18.5% profit margin)
for the three months ended  September  30, 2000,  as compared to  $4,903,000  (a
25.8%  profit  margin) for the same period in 1999,  representing  a decrease of
$1,604,000,  or 32.7%. The Company's operating results continue to be negatively
affected by lower than  expected  sales  volume,  an  increased  cost  structure
associated  with the expansion of our  facilities  and the  acquisition of large
format  equipment,  as well as a 13.0%  increase in raw material costs which can
only be partially  passed on to customers.  Certain  initiatives  put into place
during the year have begun to improve  margins,  as gross profit margin of 18.5%
for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 is an improvement  over the 11.8%
experienced  in the three  months ended June 30,  2000;  however,  it trails the
25.8%  achieved  during the same period in 1999.  The Company has  completed its
planned  capital  improvement  program in new  technologies  and equipment.  The
Company  believes that the 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.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
---------------------------------------------

     Selling,  general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months
ended  September  30,  2000 were  $3,411,000  (19.2% of net sales)  compared  to
$3,404,000  (17.9% of net sales) for the same  period a year ago, an increase of
$7,000.  The increase of 1.3 percentage  points is primarily due to the decrease
in sales.

Net Interest Expense
--------------------

     Net  interest  expense for the three months  ended  September  30, 2000 was
$433,000  compared to $251,000  for the same period of the prior year.  Interest
expense includes interest payable under the Company's revolving credit facility,
equipment  notes  payable,  its capital lease  obligations  on equipment and its
note,  supplemental note and debenture issued in connection with the acquisition
of CCG.  The increase in net  interest  expense is due to  increased  borrowings
under the Company's revolving credit facility.

Income Taxes
------------

     As a result of the third quarter loss,  the Company  recorded a tax benefit
of $185,000  compared to a provision  for income taxes of $500,000 for the third
quarter of the prior year.

Net Income (Loss)
-----------------

     The net loss for the three months ended  September  30, 2000 was  $360,000,
compared  to net income of $748,000  for the same  period in the prior  year,  a
decrease of $1,108,000. The decrease in net income is due to lower than expected
sales volume  coupled with the  increased  cost  structure  associated  with the
expansion of our facilities to accommodate large format equipment.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net Sales
---------

     Net sales for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 were  $49,972,000
compared to $48,575,000 for the same period in 1999, representing an increase of
$1,397,000,  or 2.9%.  Contributing  to the  overall  increase  in sales was the
Company's  acquisition on July 1, 1999 of the assets and certain  liabilities of
Contemporary  Color Graphics,  Inc. ("CCG") (the  "Acquisition"),  as well as an
increase  of  $461,000  from  cosmetic  sampling   products.   Consumer  product
packaging,  music/audio  packaging and pharmaceutical  packaging sales increased
slightly due to increased sales efforts within these categories. These increases
were offset by a decrease in video and  entertainment  software  packaging sales
which were adversely  impacted by lower than anticipated sales from existing and
potential new customers.

Gross Profit
------------

     The Company  recognized  gross profit of $8,037,000 (a 16.1% profit margin)
for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  as compared to  $12,419,000  (a
25.6%  profit  margin) for the same period in 1999,  representing  a decrease of
$4,382,000,  or 35.3%. The Company's operating results continue to be negatively
affected by lower than  expected  sales  volume,  an  increased  cost  structure
associated  with the expansion of our  facilities  and the  acquisition of large
format equipment.  Also contributing to the reduction in gross profit is a 13.0%
increase  in raw  material  costs  which  can  only be  partially  passed  on to
customers,  as well as hard and soft costs associated with the implementation of
ISO 9001 procedures.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
---------------------------------------------

     Selling,  general and administrative  ("SG&A") expenses for the nine months
ended  September  30,  2000 were  $10,323,000  (20.7% of net sales)  compared to
$9,024,000  (18.6% of net sales) for the same  period a year ago, an increase of
$1,299,000.  The  increase  in the  dollar  amount of SG&A is  primarily  due to
increased  headcount  and the  amortization  of  goodwill  associated  with  the
Acquisition.  The  remainder  of the  increase  is due  to  normal  inflationary
increases, and revenue related expenses such as freight and commissions.

Net Interest Expense
--------------------

     Net  interest  expense for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000 was
$1,150,000  compared to $482,000 for the same period of the prior year. Interest
expense includes interest payable under the Company's revolving credit facility,
equipment  notes  payable,  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
------------

     As a result of the nine month loss,  the Company  recorded a tax benefit of
$1,239,000  as compared to a provision  for income taxes of  $1,165,000  for the
first nine months of the prior year.

Net Income (Loss)
-----------------

     The net loss for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 was  $2,196,000,
compared to net income of  $1,749,000  for the same period in the prior year,  a
decrease of $3,945,000. The decrease in net income is due to lower than expected
sales volume  coupled with the  increased  cost  structure  associated  with the
expansion  of our  facilities  to  accommodate  large  format  equipment,  costs
associated with closing the Edgewood facility, increase in paper costs, and hard
and soft costs of implementing the ISO 9001 quality system.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     The primary  source of cash for the  Company's  business has been cash flow
from  operations  and  availability  under the Company's  $15 million  revolving
credit  facility.  Cash as of  September  30,  2000 was  $186,000,  compared  to
$143,000 as of December 31, 1999.  Net cash provided by operations  for the nine
months ended  September 30, 2000 was $477,000  compared to  $1,517,000,  for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in cash flows from operations
is primarily  attributable  to the loss from operations  discussed  above. As of
September 30, 2000 the Company had working  capital of  $8,678,000.

     On July 10, 2000, the Company  obtained an increase to the amount available
under the Credit  Agreement  from $15 million to $16.5  million until October 6,
2000.  The Company is  currently  negotiating  an  extension  to the increase in
availability under the credit agreement.  With the aforementioned extension, the
Company has $450,000  available under the revolving credit facility.  The Credit
Agreement  contains  covenants  which requires Disc Graphics to satisfy  certain
performance criteria, net worth levels, and debt service ratios.

     As a result of the  Acquisition in 1999, 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 earnings attributable to the Acquisition will be sufficient
to  offset  the  related  costs  associated  with  the  Company's  debt  service
obligations.

     Beginning in the third quarter of 1999 and through  September 30, 2000, the
Company  made $9.7  million  of  capital  improvements  in  connection  with the
purchase,  preparation,  and  installation of a new 56-inch high speed diecutter
and 56-inch six color press, as well as additional  manufacturing equipment. The
Company  anticipates  that by the end of fiscal 2000 it will refinance $9 to $10
million  of  existing   operating   equipment,   which  is   inclusive   of  the
aforementioned   56-inch   equipment  and  the  manufacturing   equipment.   The
installation  of the  diecutter,  press,  and  future  additional  equipment  is
intended to increase capacity and further improve plant  efficiencies.  However,
there can be no assurance  that the Company will be able to enter into financing
agreements 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.

Subsequent Events
-----------------

     On October 25, 2000, Allied Digital Technologies,  Corp. ("Allied"), one of
the Company's long term customers,  filed a voluntary  petition for relief under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States  Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware. In 1999, Allied accounted for 5.1% of the Company's annual
sales.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,  Allied accounted for 3.9%
of the Company's sales. The Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts
is adequate  to cover any loss it may incur as a result of Allied's  bankruptcy.
Disc is making  efforts to sell  directly to Allied's  customers to mitigate the
effect that Allied's bankruptcy will have on the Company.

Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging
Activities"  (SFAS  No.  133) as  amended  by SFAS  137 and SFAS  138,  which is
