Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements

      THIS FORM 10-QSB/A IS BEING FILED FOR THE PURPOSE OF AMENDING AND

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AND FOR THE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001
AND 2002. THESE REVISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE REGARDING SUBORDINATED DEBT

      2.    Interim Statements of Operations for the three-month periods ending
            March 31, 2002, and March 31, 2001.

      3.    Interim Statements of Cash Flows for the three-month periods ending
            March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001.

      The Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of results for the periods
presented.

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 and, also, related to the timing of the
recording of certain litigation settlement expense. 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

      In April, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a former
shareholder under which the Company agreed to purchase 74,513 shares of the
Company's common stock from the shareholder and two of the shareholder's
children at the price of $3.31 per share and to settle certain pending
litigation among the shareholder and the Company without other payment or
consideration. Of the total purchase price for the shares, $75,000 was allocated
as expense related to this settlement, and the remaining $171,000 was recorded
as a retirement of shares, thereby increasing the amount reported as treasury
stock. This $75,000 expense was originally recorded for the period ended June
30, 2002. Management has determined that this expense should have been recorded
as an expense in the period ending December 31, 2001.

      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, 2002, net sales were
$9,738,000, as compared to sales of $6,081,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2001, and increase of 60.1%. The increase in sales is primarily due to an
increase in commercial film sales of approximately $3,000,000.

      Cost of Sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, cost of sales
increased to 73.8% of net sales as compared to 73.3% of net sales for the same
period in 2001. The increase was primarily the result of lower than expected
margins in the production and sales of latex balloons.

      Administrative. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, administrative
expenses were $1,002,000 or 10.3% of sales as compared to $747,000 or 12.3% of
sales for the same period in 2001. The majority of the increase in
administrative expense dollars came from the increase in salaries required to
hire more administrative staff and increases in legal and audit expense.

      Litigation Settlements. In April, 2002, The Company entered into an
agreement with a former shareholder under which the Company agreed to purchase
74,513 shares of the Company's common stock from the shareholder and two of the
shareholder's children at the price of $3.31 per share and to settle certain
pending litigation among the shareholder and the Company without other payment
or consideration. Of the total purchase price for the shares, $75,000 has been
allocated as expense related to this settlement, and the remaining $171,000 has
been recorded as a retirement of shares, thereby increasing the amount reported
as treasury stock. These allocations have been deemed a subsequent event to year
end 2001 and have previously been reflected in the financial statements to the
Company's Report on Form 10-KSB for the period ending December 31, 2001, as
restated.

      Selling. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, selling expenses were
$375,000 or 3.9% of sales as compared to $426,000 or 7.0% of sales for the same
period in 2001. The decline in selling expense is primarily related to a drop in
commissions and royalty expenses.



      Advertising and Marketing. For the three months ended March 31, 2002
advertising and marketing expenses were $393,000 or 4% of net sales as compared
to $271,000 or 4.5% of net sales for the same period in 2001. The increase in
advertising and marketing expense dollars came from several items, principally
increased salary costs and increased costs of producing artwork and films for a
major new customer.

      Other Income or Expense. Interest expense decreased to $180,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2002, as compared to $342,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in interest expense is due to the
Company's refinancing of its debt in the first quarter of 2001.

      Net Income or Loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company
had net income before taxes and minority interest of $641,000 as compared to a
net loss before taxes and minority interest of $190,000 for the same three-month
period in 2001. The provision for income taxes for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2002 was $247,000 resulting in net income of $370,000. 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

Financial Condition

      Liquidity and Capital Resources. Cash flow provided by operations during
the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $22,000, which was primarily caused by
an increase in accounts receivable and accounts payable, resulting from an
increased sales volume, and an increase in inventory. During the three month
period ended March 31, 2001, cash flow used in operations was $1,085,000, which
was primarily caused by an increase in accounts receivable.

      Investment Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, cash
flow used in investing activities for the purchase of machinery and equipment
was $319,000. In the three month period ended March 31, 2001, $82,000 was used
in investing activities, primarily for the purchase of machinery and equipment.

      Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, cash flow
provided by financing activities was $273,000. The primary source of this cash
flow was the change in the balance of the Company's revolving line of credit.
Cash flow provided by financing activities for the three-month period ending
March 31, 2001 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 cash flow provided by the Company's short-term
revolving line of credit.

      At March 31, 2002, the Company had a cash balance of $85,000. The
Company's current cash management strategy includes maintaining minimal cash
balances and utilizing its revolving line of credit for liquidity. At December
31, 2001, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $110,000. At March 31,
2002, the Company had working capital of $1,466,000, and at December 31, 2001,
working capital was $1,026,000.

                                       3



      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 metalized balloon product line, sales have
historically been seasonal, with approximately 22% to 25% of annual sales of
metalized balloons being generated in December and January and 11% to 13% of
annual metalized sales being generated in June and July in recent years. The
sale of latex balloons and laminated film products have not historically been
seasonal. As sales of latex balloons and laminated film products have increased
in relation to sales of metalized balloons, the effect of this seasonality has
been reduced.

      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 metallized 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 2002 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

                                       4



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 obligate to update or revise these
forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On March 12, 2001, the Company was joined as a third party defendant in a
pending action filed by Real Fresh, Inc., a California Corporation, against
Packaging Systems, LLC, ("PSI") an Illinois limited liability company. The
action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
California. In the action, Real Fresh seeks damages from PSI for losses it
claims it incurred by reason of PSI supplying defective packaging materials. The
Company was a supplier to PSI of certain laminated films utilized by PSI in
these packaging materials. PSI initiated a third-party claim against the Company
for indemnity, contribution and breach of contract. The Company has filed an
answer to the third-party complaint denying the claim and asserting a number of
defenses. In addition, on July 27, 2001, the Company cross-claimed against the
supplier of the base film, Honeywell International, Inc. for indemnity,
contribution and breach of contract. On August 20, 2001, Honeywell
International, Inc., filed a counterclaim against the Company seeking to recover
for film claimed to be sold to the Company and the Company has filed an answer
and affirmative defenses denying such counterclaim. The Company has notified its
insurance carrier of the claims. Final outcome of these matters is uncertain and
a range of loss (beyond any claims that may be covered by insurance) cannot be
estimated at this time.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2002
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company
and Subsidiaries' annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2001.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been
included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year
or for any future periods. The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 2001. The
balance sheet at March 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial
statement as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001 but does not include
all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.

Note 2 - Restatement

The Company restated its balance sheet as of December 31, 2001. The restatement
is further discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2001.

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 4 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS NO. 141 "BUSINESS COMBINATIONS", AND SFAS 142, "GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE
ASSETS"

On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, Business Combinations,
and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 is effective for all
business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, certain provisions of
this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between
July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS 142.

Although it is still reviewing the provisions of these Statements, management's
preliminary assessment is that these Statements will not have a material impact
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.



Note 5 - Litigation

Litigation Settlements. In April, 2002, The Company entered into an agreement
with a former shareholder under which the Company agreed to purchase 74,513
shares of the Company's common stock from the shareholder and two of the
shareholder's children at the price of $3.31 per share and to settle certain
pending litigation among the shareholder and the Company without other payment
or consideration. Of the total purchase price for the shares, $75,000 has been
allocated as expense related to this settlement, and the remaining $171,000 has
been recorded as a retirement of shares, thereby increasing the amount reported
as treasury stock. These allocations have been deemed a subsequent event to year
end 2001 and have previously been reflected in the financial statements to the
Company's Report on Form 10-KSB for the period ending December 31, 2001, as
restated.

Note 6 - 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, 2002 and 2001 was computed as
follows:
