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

      On August 19, 2002, we reported that we had discovered accounting
inaccuracies in certain prior period financial statements requiring restatement
of the financial statements for those periods. This statement involved
inaccuracies related to the recording of expenses associated with the issuance
of certain warrants by the Company. We are restating our statements of
operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity for the years ended December
31, 2001 and 2000 and for the interim periods ended March 31, June 30 and
September 30 of 2001 and 2002, and the balance sheets as of December 31, 2001
and 2000.

      We have determined that in 2000 and 2001, the Company did not record the
proper amount of expense associated with the issuance of warrants by the Company
in connection with the issuance of certain subordinated debt and certain senior
debt by the Company. Based upon the fair value of the warrants at the time of
issuance, a debt discount was to be recorded in the amount of such warrant value
with respect to the subordinated and senior debt with which the warrants were
associated. This discount was to be amortized and expensed over the term of the
debt. The total amount of this debt discount related to the warrants was
$487,440 and was to be recorded over the period from November, 1999 through
September 30, 2002. During that time, the total amount actually recorded was
$14,273, which was recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2001.

      We have determined that the amount of such expense should have been
recorded in the following periods for the following amounts:

      Two Months Ended December 31, 1999      $42,556
      Quarter Ended March 31, 2000            $45,523
      Quarter Ended June 30, 2000             $45,523
      Quarter Ended September 30, 2000        $45,523
      Quarter Ended December 31, 2000         $45,523
      Quarter Ended March 31, 2001            $42,471
      Quarter Ended June 30, 2001             $36,368
      Quarter Ended September 30, 2001        $43,243
      Quarter Ended December 31, 2001         $18,998
      Quarter Ended March 31, 2002            $ 6,875
      Quarter Ended June 30, 2002             $ 6,875
      Quarter Ended September 30, 2002        $ 6,875

      The restated financial statements in this Report incorporate the proper
entries for these expenses and all necessary adjustments have been made to the
statement of operations, cash flows, stockholders' equity and balance sheet in
the financial statements.

Results of Operations

     Net Sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, net sales were
$6,081,000, as compared to sales of $7,162,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2000, a decrease of 15.1%. The decline in sales is due to a decrease in
metallized balloon sales of approximately $1,400,000, which was partially offset
by an increase in printed and laminated film sales of $350,000.

     Cost of Sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, cost of sales
increased to 73.3% of net sales as compared to 69.1% of net sales for the same
period in 2000. The increase was primarily the result of lower than expected
margins in the production and sale of latex balloons.

     Administrative. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, administrative
expenses were $747,000 or 12.3% of sales as compared to $858,000, or 12.0% of
sales for the same period in 2000. The majority of the decrease in
administrative expense dollars came from reduced expenditures in the Company's
Mexico operation.

     Selling. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, selling expenses were
$426,000 or 7.0% of sales, as compared to $523,000, or 7.3% of net sales for the
same period in 2000. The decline in selling expense dollars is primarily related
to the decline in sales volume and the selling expenses directly associated with
those sales.

     Advertising and Marketing. For the three months ended March 31, 2001,
advertising and marketing expenses were $271,000 or 4.5% of net sales as
compared to $314,000 or 4.4% of net sales in the same period 2000. The decrease
in advertising and marketing expense dollars came from several items, mainly
reduced spending for printed

                                       2




advertising media, and reduced expenditures related to the Company's
participation in trade shows.

     Other Income or Expense. Interest expense increased to $342,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $331,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. The increase in interest expense is due to the Company's
increased level of borrowings.

     Net Income or Loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company
had a loss before taxes and minority interest of $190,000, as compared to income
before taxes and minority interest of $217,000 for the same three month period
in 2000. The provision for income taxes for the three-month period ended March
31, 2001 was $9,000, resulting in a net loss of $176,000. The provision for
income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 was $57,000,
resulting in net income of $131,000.

Financial Condition

     Liquidity and Capital Resources. Cash flow used in operations during the
three months ended March 31, 2001 was $1,085,000, which resulted principally
from an increase accounts receivable. During the three months ended March 31,
2000, cash flow provided by operations was $86,000, mainly a result of non-cash
depreciation and amortization expense and lower inventory levels.

     Investment Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2001 cash
flow used in investing activities for the purchase of machinery and equipment
was $82,000. In the three months ended March 31, 2000, $152,000 was used in
investing activities, primarily for the purchase of machinery and equipment, and
the purchase of additional equity ownership in CTI Mexico.

     Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, cash flow
provided by financing activities was $1,208,000. The two primary sources of this
cash flow were the refinancing of the Company's debt which netted additional
cash of approximately $800,000, and the cash flow provided by the short-term
revolving line of credit. Cash flow provided by financing activities for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 was $171,000, resulting from the use of the
short-term revolving line of credit.

     At March 31, 2001, the Company had a cash balance of $435,000. The
Company's current cash management strategy includes maintaining minimal cash
balances and utilizing the revolving line of credit for liquidity. At December
31, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $393,000. At March 31,
2001, the Company had working capital of ($1,180,000), and at December 31, 2000,
working capital was ($3,862,000).

     The Company believes that existing capital resources and cash generated
from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company's requirements for at
least 12 months.

     Seasonality. In the mylar product line, sales have historically been
seasonal with approximately 20% to 27% of annual sales of mylar being generated
in December and January and 11% to 13% of annual mylar sales being generated in
June and July in recent

                                       3




years. The sale of latex balloons and laminated film products have not
historically been seasonal.

     Safe Harbor Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 and
Forward Looking Statements. The Company operates in a dynamic and rapidly
changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The market
for mylar and latex balloon products is generally characterized by intense
competition, frequent new product introductions and changes in customer tastes
which can render existing products unmarketable. The statements contained in
Item 2 (Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation) that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements
(as such term is defined in the rules promulgated pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties
more fully described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission including, without limitation, those described under "Risk Factors"
in the Company's Form SB-2 Registration Statement (File No. 333-31969) effective
November 5, 1997. The forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the
Company's management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently
available to the Company's management. Accordingly, these statements are subject
to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies which could cause the
Company's actual growth, results, performance and business prospects and
opportunities in 2001 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in,
or implied by, any such forward-looking statements. Wherever possible, words
such as "anticipate," "plan," "expect," "believe," "estimate," and similar
expressions have been used to identify these forward-looking statements, but are
not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These risks,
uncertainties and contingencies include, but are not limited to, the Company's
limited operating history on which expectations regarding its future performance
can be based, competition from, among others, national and regional balloon,
packaging and custom film product manufacturers and sellers that have greater
financial, technical and marketing resources and distribution capabilities than
the Company, the availability of sufficient capital, the maturation and success
of the Company's strategy to develop, market and sell its products, risks
inherent in conducting international business, risks associated with securing
licenses, changes in the Company's product mix and pricing, the effectiveness of
the Company's efforts to control operating expenses, general economic and
business conditions affecting the Company and its customers in the United States
and other countries in which the Company sells and anticipates selling its
products and services and the Company's ability to (i) adjust to changes in
technology, customer preferences, enhanced competition and new competitors; (ii)
protect its intellectual property rights from infringement or misappropriation;
(iii) maintain or enhance its relationships with other businesses and vendors;
and (iv) attract and retain key employees. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to identify, develop, market, sell or support new products
successfully, that any such new products will gain market acceptance, or that
the Company will be able to respond effectively to changes in customer
preferences. There can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter
technical or other difficulties that could delay introduction of new or updated
products in the future. If the Company is unable to introduce new products and
respond to industry changes or customer preferences on a timely basis, its
business could be materially adversely affected. The Company is not obligated to
update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or
circumstances.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal

balance sheet at March 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited financial

Note 3 - Company Debt Restructure

In January 2001, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with a
new lender under which the lender has provided the Company with a credit
facility in the amount of $9,500,000, secured by equipment, inventory,
receivables, and other assets of the Company. The credit facility includes a
term loan of $1,426,000, at an interest rate of prime plus 0.75%, and a
revolving line of credit at an interest rate of prime plus 0.50%, the amount of
which is based on advances of up to 85% of eligible receivables and 50% of the
value of the Company's inventory. The credit facility is secured by
substantially all assets of the Company. The term of this credit facility is for
a period of three years, which may be extended by either party for an additional
year.

Also in January 2001, another lender loaned to the Company the sum of $2,873,000
in a refinance of the Company's principal office building and property situated
in Barrington, Illinois. The loan is secured by the aforementioned building and
property, and has been made in the form of two notes. The first note is in the
principal amount of $2,700,000, bears interest at the rate of 9.75%, and has a
term of five years with an amortization period of 25 years. The second note is
in the principal amount of $173,000 with an interest rate of 10%, and has a term
of three years.

Note 3 - Earnings Per Share

The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," for the year ended
October 31, 1998. Adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during each period.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents (stock
options and warrants), unless anti-dilutive, during each period.

Earnings per share for the periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 was computed as
follows:
