See notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements. 3 GIBRALTAR PACKAGING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) A. GENERAL The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Gibraltar Packaging Group, Inc. ("Gibraltar" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2001, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented herein. Results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2001 and the notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. B. INVENTORIES Inventories consisted of the following (In thousands): December 31, June 30, 2001 2001 --------- ------ Finished goods $4,712 $4,846 Work in process 798 797 Raw materials 1,061 764 Manufacturing supplies 296 286 ------ ------ $6,867 $6,693 ====== ====== C. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") approved the issuance of SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These standards establish accounting and reporting for business combinations, goodwill and other intangibles. SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations entered into subsequent to June 30, 2001 be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 142 provides that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis. SFAS No. 142 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2002. The Company has not quantified the impact resulting from the adoption of these standards including the impact, if any, of completion of the annual impairment test. However, the historical impact of not amortizing goodwill would have been to increase net income by $33,000 and $67,000 for the three months and six months ended, respectively, for both December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". This 4 GIBRALTAR PACKAGING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the related asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not expect its adoption of this standard in fiscal 2003 to have a significant impact on its financial statements. In addition, in August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". The standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company does not expect its adoption of this standard in fiscal 2003 to have a significant impact on the financial statements. D. LONG-TERM DEBT On December 20, 2001, the Company entered into a three-year renewable credit facility with LaSalle Business Credit, Inc. ("LaSalle"). This facility provides for a $11.6 million Term Loan, a $4.0 million Special Advance Loan, and a $12.0 million working capital revolving line-of-credit ("Revolver"). The Term Loan and Special Advance Loan combined require monthly principal payments of $185,155 through December 2008, but are callable after three years. The credit facility is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in and lien on all assets (real and personal, tangible and intangible) of the Company excluding its Burlington, North Carolina property. The initial proceeds of the new facility were used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the Company's previous credit facility with First Source Financial LLP. As part of the refinancing, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $260,000 ($156,000 after tax) or $0.03 per share after tax reflecting the write-off of unamortized finance costs relating to the previous credit facility. The Revolver provides for a revolving line of credit under a borrowing base commitment subject to certain loan availability requirements. Loan availability under the Revolver may not exceed the lesser of: (1) $12.0 million; or (2) the sum of (a) 85% of the Company's eligible accounts receivable plus (b) a percentage of the Company's eligible inventory which ranges from 35% to 70%. At no time may the sum of aggregated loan advances outstanding under the Revolver plus the aggregate amount of extended letter of credit guarantees exceed loan availability. The Company had available to it unused borrowing capacity of $3.0 million as of December 31, 2001. The Revolver bears interest at LaSalle's prime rate plus 0.50% or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.75%. The term loan bears interest at LaSalle's prime rate plus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 3.00%. The special advance bears interest at LaSalle's prime rate plus 1.00% or LIBOR plus 3.25%. The Company also pays a commitment fee of 0.50% on the unused portion of the Revolver. The interest rates at December 31, 2001 were at prime. LaSalle's prime rate was 4.75% at December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, all outstanding letters of credit were guaranteed by LaSalle. The Company pays an annual letter of credit fee of 2.00% on the outstanding balance to guarantee availability under the Revolver. Outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2001 amounted to $147,500 and related 5 GIBRALTAR PACKAGING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) to workman's compensation insurance policies. The LaSalle credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants including financial covenants related to net worth, debt service coverage, interest coverage and capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2001, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. In addition, the Company's credit facility restricts the ability of the Company to pay dividends. E. RECLASSIFICATION Certain amounts in the fiscal 2001 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 2002 presentation. 6 GIBRALTAR PACKAGING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Three Months Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2000 ------------------------------------ In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company had net sales of $15.3 million compared with $16.4 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2001, a decrease of $1.1 million or 6.6%. Sales continue to be negatively impacted by the overall slowdown in the economy. Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased to 19.3% of net sales from 20.7% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2001. This decrease was due primarily to spreading fixed manufacturing costs over a smaller revenue base and changes to customer mix, partially offset by continuing cost control efforts. Cost of goods sold decreased $0.7 million or 5.0% to $12.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $13.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, primarily as a result of the reduction in net sales. Income from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 was $1.0 million compared with $1.4 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2001, a decrease of $0.4 million or 25.7%. This decrease was primarily a result of the reduction in net sales, partially offset by continuing cost control efforts. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million or 3.7% to $1.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, compared to $2.0 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2001. This decrease was primarily the result of lower sales and continuing cost control efforts. Total interest expense decreased $0.3 million or 48.9% to $0.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 from $0.7 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2001. The decrease is the result of $3.9 million in lower average borrowings and a reduction in average interest rates from 10.7% to 6.3%. The income tax provision as a percentage of pre-tax income for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 was 41.9%, compared with an income tax provision of 25.6% for the corresponding period in fiscal 2001. The effective tax rate typically differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of non-deductible amortization of goodwill. However, as a result of earnings improvements, the Company reduced its deferred income tax asset valuation allowance by $0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 to reflect a change in the estimate related to the realizability of its deferred income tax assets. In December 2001, the Company refinanced its credit facility with LaSalle Business Credit, Inc. ("LaSalle"). As part of this refinancing, the Company recorded an extraordinary after tax loss of $156,000 or $0.03 per share reflecting the write-off of unamortized finance costs relating to the previous credit facility. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 was $0.2 million or $0.05 per share, compared to $0.5 million or $0.10 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 includes the effect of reducing the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance by $0.1 7 GIBRALTAR PACKAGING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES million, as a result of earnings improvements. Excluding the impact of the change in the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 would have been $0.4 million or $0.08 per share. The following table illustrates the effect of the income tax asset valuation allowance on the second quarter of fiscal 2001 (in thousands, except per share data):

Six Months Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2000 ---------------------------------- In the first six months of fiscal 2002, the Company had net sales of $30.7 million compared with $32.8 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2001, a decrease of $2.1 million or 6.5%. Sales continue to be negatively impacted by the overall slowdown in the economy. Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2002 decreased to 19.4% of net sales from 21.1% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2001. This decrease was due primarily to spreading fixed manufacturing costs over a smaller revenue base and changes to customer mix, partially offset by continuing cost control efforts. Cost of goods sold decreased $1.2 million or 4.5% to $24.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to $25.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001, primarily as a result of the reduction in net sales. Income from operations for the first six months of fiscal 2002 was $2.1 million compared with $2.9 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2001, a decrease of $0.8 million or 27.0%. This decrease was primarily a result of the reduction in net sales, partially offset by continuing cost control efforts. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million or 4.8% to $3.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002, compared to $4.0 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2001. This decrease was primarily the result of lower sales and continuing cost control efforts. Total interest expense decreased $0.6 million or 43.3% to $0.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002 from $1.4 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2001. The decrease is the result of $3.9 million in lower average borrowings and a reduction in average interest rates from 10.7% to 6.9%. The income tax provision as a percentage of pre-tax income for the first six months of fiscal 2002 was 42.0%, compared with an income tax provision of 26.7% for the corresponding period in fiscal 2001. The effective tax rate typically differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of non-deductible amortization of goodwill. However, as a result of earnings improvements, the Company reduced its 8 GIBRALTAR PACKAGING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES deferred income tax asset valuation allowance by $0.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001 to reflect a change in estimate related to the realizability of its deferred income tax assets. In December 2001, the Company refinanced its credit facility with LaSalle. As part of this refinancing, the Company recorded an extraordinary after tax loss of $156,000 or $0.03 per share reflecting the write-off of unamortized finance costs relating to the previous existing credit facility. Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2002 was $0.6 million or $0.12 per share, compared to $1.1 million or $0.21 per share in the first six months of fiscal 2001. Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2001 includes the effect of reducing the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance by $0.2 million, as a result of earnings improvements. Excluding the impact of the change in the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance, net income for the first six months of fiscal 2001 would have been $0.9 million or $0.17 per share. The following table illustrates the effect of the income tax asset valuation allowance on the first six months of fiscal 2001 (in thousands, except per share data):

Financial Condition On December 20, 2001, the Company entered into a three-year renewable credit facility with LaSalle. This facility provides for a $11.6 million Term Loan, a $4.0 million Special Advance Loan, and a $12.0 million working capital revolving line-of-credit ("Revolver"). The Term Loan and Special Advance Loan combined require monthly principal payments of $185,155 through December 2008, but are callable after three years. The credit facility is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in and lien on all assets (real and personal, tangible and intangible) of the Company excluding its Burlington, North Carolina property. The initial proceeds of the new facility were used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the Company's previously existing credit facility. As part of the refinancing, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $260,000 ($156,000 after tax) or $0.03 per share after tax reflecting the write-off of unamortized finance costs relating to the previous existing credit facility. The Revolver provides for a revolving line of credit under a borrowing base commitment subject to certain loan availability requirements. Loan availability under the Revolver may not exceed the lesser of: (1) $12.0 million; or (2) the sum of (a) 85% of the Company's eligible accounts receivable plus (b) a percentage of the Company's eligible inventory which ranges from 35% to 70%. At no time may the sum of aggregated loan advances outstanding under the Revolver plus the aggregate amount of extended letter of credit guarantees exceed loan availability. The Company had available to it unused borrowing 9 GIBRALTAR PACKAGING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES capacity of $3.0 million as of December 31, 2001. The Revolver bears interest at LaSalle's prime rate plus 0.50% or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.75%. The term loan bears interest at LaSalle's prime rate plus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 3.00%. The special advance bears interest at LaSalle's prime rate plus 1.00% or LIBOR plus 3.25%. The Company also pays a commitment fee of 0.50% on the unused portion of the Revolver. The interest rates at December 31, 2001 were at prime. LaSalle's prime rate was 4.75% at December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, all outstanding letters of credit were guaranteed by LaSalle. The Company pays an annual letter of credit fee of 2.00% on the outstanding balance to guarantee availability under the Revolver. Outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2001 amounted to $147,500 and related to workman's compensation insurance policies. The LaSalle credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants including financial covenants related to net worth, debt service coverage, interest coverage and capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2001, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. In addition, the Company's credit facility restricts the ability of the Company to pay dividends. At December 31, 2001, the Company had working capital of $3.5 million, as compared to $2.4 million at June 30, 2001. Historically, the Company's liquidity requirements have been met by a combination of funds provided by operations and its revolving credit agreements. Funds provided by operations during the six months ended December 31, 2001 were $1.6 million compared with funds provided of $1.6 million in the corresponding period in fiscal 2001. During the six months ended December 31, 2001, capital expenditures totaled $0.5 million compared with $0.4 million in the corresponding period in fiscal 2001, and consisted primarily of additions to machinery and equipment. The Company makes capital improvements to improve efficiency and product quality, and periodically upgrades its equipment by purchasing or leasing new or previously used equipment. The Company's current strategy is to continue to focus its efforts on its core business of folding cartons, as well as the supporting product lines of flexible, litho-laminated, and corrugated products. The Company intends to expand these product lines by utilizing the maximum capacity at each facility, while continually identifying, researching, and when applicable, implementing new technologies and equipment that will enable the Company to continue to improve performance, productivity, and profitability. Under the current strategy, management believes that future funds generated by operations and borrowings available under its credit facility with LaSalle will be sufficient to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements in the near term. 10 GIBRALTAR PACKAGING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments The Company has contractual obligations and commercial commitments that may affect its financial condition. Based on management's assessment of the underlying provisions and circumstances of the material contractual obligations and commercial commitments of the Company, including material off-balance sheet and structured finance arrangements, there is no known trend, demand, commitment, event or uncertainty that is reasonably likely to occur which would have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The following tables identify material obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2001:

(a) The revolving line-of-credit represents the actual outstanding balance, as of December 31, 2001. (b) The revolving line-of-credit represents the unused borrowing capacity available to the Company, as of December 31, 2001. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") approved the issuance of SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These standards establish accounting and reporting for business combinations, goodwill and other intangibles. SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations entered into subsequent to June 30, 2001 be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 142 provides that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis. SFAS No. 142 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2002. The Company has 11 GIBRALTAR PACKAGING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES not quantified the impact resulting from the adoption of these standards including the impact, if any, of completion of the annual impairment test. However, the historical impact of not amortizing goodwill would have been to increase net income by $33,000 and $67,000 for the three months and six months ended, respectively, for both December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". This standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the related asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not expect its adoption of this standard in fiscal 2003 to have a significant impact on its financial statements. In addition, in August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". The standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company does not expect its adoption of this standard in fiscal 2003 to have a significant impact on the financial statements. Forward-Looking Statements Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our confidence in the Company's prospects and strategies and our expectations about the Company's sales expansion, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (1) softened demand for the Company's products due to overall economic conditions; (2) the Company's ability to execute its business plan; (3) market acceptance risks, including whether or not the Company will be able to successfully gain market share against competitors, many of which have greater financial and other resources than the Company, and the continuing trend of customers to increase their buying power by consolidating the number of vendors they maintain; (4) manufacturing capacity constraints, including whether or not, as the Company increases its sales, it will be able to successfully integrate its new customers into its existing manufacturing and distribution system; (5) the introduction of competing products by other firms; (6) pressure on pricing from competition or purchasers of the Company's products; (7) whether the Company will be able to pass on to its customers price increases for paper and paperboard products; (8) continued stability in other raw material prices, including oil-based resin and plastic film; (9) the impact of government regulation on the Company's manufacturing, including whether or not additional capital expenditures will be needed to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations as the Company's production increases; (10) the Company's ability to continue to comply with the restrictive covenants in its credit facility or to obtain waivers if it is not in compliance in the future; and (11) the outcome of the Anthem Health Plans litigation. Investors and potential investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's analysis only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report. These risks and others that are detailed in this Form 10-Q and other documents that the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K and any current reports on Form 8-K, must be considered by any investor or potential investor in the Company. 12 GIBRALTAR PACKAGING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company's primary market risk is fluctuation in interest rates. All of the Company's debt at December 31, 2001 was at variable interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would have had a $0.1 million impact on interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2001. 13 GIBRALTAR PACKAGING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company is a party to certain lawsuits and administrative proceedings that arise in the conduct of its business. While the outcome of these lawsuits and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that, if adversely determined, the lawsuits and proceedings, either singularly or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows of the Company. On April 28, 1999, the Company filed a lawsuit captioned Gibraltar Packaging Group, Inc. v. Anthem Health Plans, d.b.a. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Connecticut ("Anthem"), in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. The Company is seeking damages for Anthem's alleged breach of a contract for health insurance for employees of the Company. In October 2000, Anthem filed a counterclaim for unpaid premiums. The amount of the counterclaim is unknown. Discovery has revealed that a third party may be liable to indemnify the Company for all or part of the counterclaim, and the Company has brought a third party claim against this party in the litigation. There can be no assurances that the outcome of the litigation would not have an adverse impact on the Company. The parties participated in a settlement mediation in December 1999 and are gathering additional information through depositions. The Company anticipates another settlement mediation will be scheduled before the end of 2002. Item 4.
