NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2003
(Unaudited)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Principles of Consolidation -

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Translation adjustments are charged or credited to a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Nature of Business -

CSS is a consumer products company primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and sale to mass market retailers of seasonal, social expression products, including gift wrap, gift bags, boxed greeting cards, gift tags, tissue paper, paper and vinyl decorations, classroom exchange Valentines, decorative ribbons and bows, Halloween masks, costumes, make-up and novelties, Easter egg dyes and novelties and educational products. Due to the seasonality of the Company’s business, the majority of sales occur in the second and third quarters of the Company’s fiscal year which ends March 31, and a material portion of the Company’s trade receivables are due in December and January of each year.

Use of Estimates -

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Such estimates include valuation reserves for inventory and accounts receivable, the assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets, income tax valuation and resolution of litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories-

The Company records inventory at the date of taking title which generally occurs upon receipt or prior to receipt of in-transit inventory of overseas product. The Company adjusts unsalable and slow-moving inventory to its net realizable value. Substantially all of the Company’s inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market. The remaining      portion of the inventory is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

      December 31,
2003
    March 31,

Raw material   $ 18,867   $ 24,260  
Work-in-process     16,614     30,183  
Finished goods       40,706     52,205  
   

 

 
    $ 76,187   $ 106,648  
   

 

 

Revenue Recognition-

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped and title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Provisions for allowances and rebates to customers, returns and other adjustments are provided in the same period that the related sales are recorded.

Stock-Based Compensation-

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options plans. Accordingly, compensation expense is generally not recognized for its stock-based compensation plans. Had compensation expense for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans consistent with the methodology prescribed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company’s net income and net income per share would have changed as follows:
