PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Schawk, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Schawk" or the "Company") operate
in one operating business segment, Digital Imaging Graphics Arts, that serves
consumer products packaging, advertising and promotional markets. The Company is
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Company is the largest independent provider of digital imaging
graphic services to the consumer products packaging market in the world. The
Company's facilities produce conventional, electronic and desktop color
separations, creative design, art production, electronic retouching,
conventional and digital plate making and digital press proofs for the three
main printing processes used in the graphic arts industry: lithography,
flexography and gravure. The Company's services also include both digital and
analog image database archival and management as well as 3D imaging for package
design, large format printing, digital photography, workflow management
consulting services, and various related outsourcing and graphics arts
consulting services. These services require skilled, highly trained technicians
applying various computerized design, manipulation and assembly techniques. The
preparation of film, digital tape and press proofs for lithography, flexography
and other printing processes related to packaging accounted for over 85% of net
sales for 2002 and over 70% of net sales during 2001 and 2000. The balance of
the Company's business consists of the production of similar advertising and
promotional applications.

The Company has particular expertise in preparing color images for high
volume print production runs of consumer products packaging. The Company
functions as a vital interface between its Fortune 1000 consumer products
clients, their creative designers and their converters or printers in assuring
the production of consistent, high quality packaging materials in increasingly
shorter turnaround and delivery times. The Company's ability to provide high
quality, customized graphic services quickly makes it a valued player in new
product introduction and promotional activity.

The Company maintains both digital and analog data archives of product
package layouts and designs for many of its clients. This activity brings value
to those clients while improving the Company's efficiency in accommodating
clients' rapidly changing packaging design modifications and product line
extensions. By continuing to provide such high-end, value-added services, the
Company commands a significant share of the market for graphic services for the
food and beverage industry, which uniquely positions it to benefit from positive
industry trends.

The Company believes that its clients have increasingly chosen to
outsource their imaging needs to the Company because of its: (i) high quality
customized imaging capabilities; (ii) rapid turnaround and delivery times; (iii)
up-to-date knowledge of the printing press specifications of converters and
printers located throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Asia; (iv)
color expertise; (v) digital imaging asset management; (vi) workflow management;
(vii) art production; and (viii) ability to service its clients' global graphic
requirements through the Company's North American facilities and international
subsidiaries and alliance partners.

GRAPHIC SERVICES INDUSTRY

"Graphic Services" are the tasks involved in preparing images and text
for reproduction to exact specifications for a variety of media, including
packaging for consumer products, point-of-sale displays and other promotional
materials. Packaging for consumer products encompasses folding cartons, boxes,
trays, cans, containers, packaging labels and wrap. While graphic work
represents a relatively small percentage of overall product packaging and
promotion costs, the visual impact and effectiveness of product packaging and
promotions are largely dependent upon the quality of graphic work.


3


Graphic services do not entail the actual printing or production of
such packaging materials, but rather include the various preparatory steps such
as art production design, digital photography, retouching, color separation and
other plate making services, for use in lithography, flexography and gravure.
"Color separation" refers to preparing color images, text and layout for the
printing process. Graphic services such as color separation work have
traditionally been performed by skilled craftspeople almost entirely by hand,
using what is known as the "conventional" method. With the development of
digital technology, graphic firms such as the Company have become computerized,
relying instead on digital imaging, in which digitized images and text are
manipulated according to client and converter specifications. On an increasing
basis, clients supply material to the Company in a digitized format on a variety
of media, including tape, floppy disk, CD-ROM and via the Internet. More
recently there is a trend toward an all-digital workflow, from creative design
through printing. The most recent innovation is the production of plates
directly from a digital file, hence the term "direct to plate" (DTP) or
"computer to plate" (CTP). This innovation eliminates the step of preparing
photographic film and exposing the film on a plate. This CTP technology is more
precise and reduces the time to produce a printing plate. The Company has
acquired several CTP units and has the capacity to service its clients with CTP
services throughout North America.

The graphic industry in North America has over 1,000 market
participants, principally independent color separators, such as the Company,
converters, printers and advertising agencies that perform these services
in-house. The majority of graphic providers specialize in commodity-oriented
publication work that includes textbooks, advertising, catalogs, newspapers and
magazines. The Company's target markets, however, are high-end packaging for the
consumer products industry, advertising and promotional applications. The North
American market for graphic services for packaging to the consumer products
industry is estimated by the Company to be approximately $2.0 billion, while the
worldwide market is estimated by the Company to be as high as $6.0 billion. The
consumer products graphic industry is highly fragmented with hundreds of market
participants, only a small number of whom have annual revenues exceeding $30.0
million. The Company believes that the number of participants in the North
American graphic market for the consumer products industry will diminish due to
consolidation and attrition caused by competitive forces such as accelerating
technological requirements for advanced systems, equipment and highly skilled
personnel and the growing demands of clients for full-service global
capabilities.

The rapid development of lower-cost, faster desktop publishing software
systems has increased the potential for competition in the graphic industry by
lowering barriers to entry relating to equipment costs. However, this
development has also resulted in the proliferation of software systems, many of
which have created training issues. Frequent changes in software necessitate
continuous training and education and investment in faster equipment. It has
also created the demand from clients for increasingly faster turnaround and
delivery times. As technology advances in the imaging industry, speed has
become, and continues to be a significant differentiator between the Company and
its competition. Furthermore, these rapid turnaround times, regulatory
requirements and demand for global brand consistency have created new, more
significant barriers than had previously existed.

There is also a more significant barrier to entry that has always
existed - hundreds of "technician-years" of expertise in working with all of the
major printers and converters to make sure a package is printed according to the
client's specifications. For this reason, new upstarts have difficulty competing
with the Company.

The Company focuses on three primary markets: consumer products
packaging, advertising agencies, and promotion. The food and beverage segment of
the consumer products industry has packaging requirements that are complex and
demanding due to variations in packaging materials, shapes and sizes, custom
colors, varying storage conditions and marketing enhancements. Product
extensions and frequent packaging redesigns have resulted in an increasing
volume of color separation and related work in the consumer products industry
and in particular for the food and beverage segment. Additional industry trends
include: (i) the shorter turnaround and delivery time requirements from the
creative design phase to final distribution of the packaged product; (ii) an
increasing number of SKUs competing for shelf space and market share; (iii) the
increasing importance of package appearance and promotions due to demonstrated
point-of-sale consumer purchasing behavior; and (iv) the increasing requirements
for worldwide quality and consistency in packaging as companies attempt to build
global brand name recognition. Increasingly, the advertising and promotion
markets require coordination of these efforts, with the initiatives coming from
advertising agencies. The Company's expansion into these markets strengthens and
enhances the overall service offering to the unified marketing approach of our
clients.

Meeting the requirements of the advertising and promotional business
demands production of work under extremely short timelines, usually in less than
24 hours. Creative retouching, color correction and composition in multiple file
formats are produced to meet requirements of the printers. The Company is a
leader in conventional, computer to plate and digital ad delivery to
publications.

THE COMPANY'S GROWTH STRATEGY

The Company's primary goal is to enhance its leadership positions in
the graphic imaging market serving the consumer products, advertising and
promotion markets. Key aspects of the Company's business strategy to achieve
this goal include the following:

- Organic Growth. Historically the Company has primarily grown
through acquisitions. As there were fewer companies that met the
Company's acquisition criteria in the marketplace in the last few
years, the Company has increased its focus on organic growth,
turning to its highly skilled sales force to be the primary
growth driver for the Company. As a result, and in connection
with this strategic planning process at the Company, the Company
identified as one of its key business objectives to increase
sales by increasing the amount of business the Company does with
existing clients as well as increasing the number of new
accounts.

The Company has increased its focus on organic growth by
separating its sales force into new account development and
existing account development groups. The new account development
group is charged with calling on the Fortune 1000 accounts that
the Company does not currently do business with. The existing
account group works with their current clients to increase the
number of brands that the Company handles and to increase the
number of services that the Company provides to the client.

To bring focus to the organic growth objective, the Company has
introduced a new sales compensation system, which rewards both
sales growth and profitability growth.

- Growth through Acquisitions. The Company's profitability and
ready access to capital have enabled it to make strategic
acquisitions of companies that range in size from $2 million to
$20 million in revenues. In its 49-year business history, the
Company has integrated more than 44 graphic and imaging
businesses into its operations while streamlining overhead and
improving margins in the aggregate. The Company acquired 13
businesses from March 1998 to November 1999 with combined
annualized revenues in excess of $77 million. These acquisitions
are part of the Company's growth strategy to acquire market niche
companies with Fortune 1000 client lists, excellent client
service or proprietary products and solid management who will
continue to operate the business after the acquisition. The
managers of acquired businesses receive performance incentives to
continue to profitably grow the business. There were no
acquisitions by the Company in 2001 and there was one small
acquisition in 2002.

The Company intends to continue expanding through acquisitions of
well-managed companies with solid market positions, a reputation
for quality work and established client lists. The Company
believes that an emphasis on complementary acquisitions of
companies serving targeted markets will allow it to broaden its
service offerings and provide single source design, graphic image
database services and workflow management services.

The Company believes it has greater versatility in meeting the
various requirements of its clients than smaller, less integrated
competitors lacking technical expertise, and that this
versatility will result in greater opportunities for internal
growth as well as enhancing the Company's image as an attractive
purchaser for potential consolidation candidates. The Company
believes that there will continue to be a number of attractive
acquisition candidates in the fragmented and consolidating
industry in which it operates. The Company expects to strengthen
its market position by applying its management and operational
philosophies and practices, which have been successful in its
graphic arts businesses, to newly acquired businesses.


5

- Exploitation of Industry Trends; Outsourcing. The Company has
historically attempted to strengthen its market position by
identifying and exploiting industry trends. As a consequence, the
Company has been uniquely positioned to benefit as consumer
products companies continue to reduce both their graphic staffs
and total number of suppliers. The Company's on-site strategy
developed as clients outsource imaging functions in an attempt to
cut costs and improve turnaround and delivery times. The Company
intends to expand this effort, as clients increasingly require
on-site service. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had 41
on-site locations staffed by over 130 Schawk employees,
approximately 9% of its total workforce. Further, the Company
believes that its commitment to client service and its broad
array of premium service offerings position the Company as a cost
effective, value-added supplier of digital imaging services. As
clients continue to cut their staffing levels, they are expanding
the number of services required of their graphic suppliers. As a
result, fewer of the Company's competitors have the full
complement of capabilities required in the marketplace. The
Company believes outsourcing trends will continue.

- Exploitation of Technology Advancements. The Company is dedicated
to keeping abreast of and initiating technological process
developments in its industry. To build upon its leadership
position, the Company actively evaluates systems and software
products of various computer and software manufacturers and also
independently develops software for implementation at its
operating facilities. The Company continually invests in new
technology designed to support its high quality graphic services.
The Company concentrates its efforts on understanding the systems
and equipment available in the marketplace and creating solutions
using off-the-shelf products, customized to meet a variety of
specific client and internal requirements.

MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY

As part of the Company's ongoing strategic planning process, management of the
Company introduced Vision 2020, a roadmap that the Company will follow into the
future. The Chief Executive Officer, David A. Schawk, introduced an overview of
the strategy to every employee of the Company and subsidiaries around the world
in late 2001. In 2002, Company management organized teams from throughout the
organization to work on business objectives that came out of the strategic
planning process. Incentive compensation programs in alignment with the
Company's strategy were developed and have been implemented for 2003. The
overriding guidelines for the Company's strategy were summarized in a "Vivid
Description" of what the Company believes in. The Vivid Description of the
Company is as follows:

The value and breadth of our services and capabilities will be driven first
and foremost by the requirements and satisfaction of our clients...We will
deliver value through ensuring global brand consistency and the premiere
speed-to-market solution to those clients. By becoming an integrated
strategic partner to our clients, we will demonstrate value and inspire
their unwavering confidence and loyalty...We will become the most
profitable company in our industry and we will reach a dominant market
share globally...We will continue to invest in training and development so
that our employees and their tools will be the best of the best...The
Schawk brand name will be recognized as the highest value answer to
clients' brand image requirements.

The business objectives the Company is working on support the Vivid Description
of the Company are as follows:

- Increase Global Coverage through Acquisitions Worldwide
- Redefine Our Source of Revenue and Profit for the future
- Invent / Reinvent Solutions for Our Clients
- Increase Organic Growth
- Hire and Retain the Best of the Best Employees
- Measure Customer Satisfaction and Improve on our performance

To achieve the Company's business objectives, management stresses the following:

Client Service. Another key component of the Company's management
philosophy has been its commitment to client service. The Company's offering
continues to be increasingly focused on meeting the changing needs of its
clients. This requires a commitment to working with clients to understand these
needs. The Company believes that this commitment has contributed to the
confidence and loyalty its clients have shown. Because of the increasingly
competitive markets faced by its clients, the Company must be flexible enough to
modify its operations in order to meet the specialized needs of its clients. The
Company's emphasis on on-site client representatives and operations helps to
address this requirement and has further solidified existing client
relationships.

Employee Training and Investment in Equipment. The Company believes
that its most valuable assets are its employees because its ability to provide
clients with high quality services and products depends upon their dedication
and expertise. The Company provides extensive and continuous training to keep
its employees abreast of the latest technological developments and the
particular needs of its clients. Providing its employees with the latest
equipment, software and training are fundamental to the Company's philosophy.

Technical Expertise. The Company is able to provide its clients with
high quality services and products and quick response time because of its
efficient utilization of state-of-the-art equipment, software, digital server,
storage technology, and telecommunication systems. As part of its commitment to
maintain its technological expertise, the Company has historically worked with
software developers to create software that fully addresses the Company's and
its clients' needs. The Company acts as a test site for numerous hardware and
software products. In order to facilitate the exchange of information among its
various facilities, in 1991, the Company established the Schawk Technical
Advisory Board for the purpose of coordinating the research and evaluation of
new technologies in the graphic arts industry. This group continues to be
recognized for its efforts and has been invited to lecture at numerous national
and international symposiums and conferences.

SERVICES

The Company offers comprehensive, high quality digital imaging graphic
services. The Company's facilities produce conventional, electronic and desktop
color separations, electronic production design, film preparation, plate making
and press proofs for lithography, flexography and gravure.

The Company's services also include both digital and analog image
database archival and management, as well as creative design, 3-D imaging, art
production, large format printing, and various related outsourcing and graphics
arts consulting services.

The Company interfaces between consumer products manufacturers and the
creative designers and converters used by those businesses to produce packaging,
such as folding cartons, boxes, trays, cans, containers, packaging labels and
wrap and related point-of-sale and promotional materials. The Company's services
consist principally of the electronic and digital production of art design,
color separations and color proofs to client and converter specifications and
imaging asset management. These services are an intermediate step between
creative artwork and the actual printing of graphic materials. The production of
color separations requires well-trained and highly skilled technicians applying
various digital and analog image manipulation, assembly and color management
techniques in order to preserve the integrity of the original image when
translated into print and to ensure consistency of the printed materials.

The Company specializes in digital imaging graphic services relating to
the packaging and promotional needs of clients in the consumer products industry
and in the advertising and promotion markets. The Company serves Fortune 1000
companies and their advertising agencies to ensure worldwide quality and
consistency in the packaging and related imagery of their products with the wide
array of consumer products in the marketplace. Because there is no consistent
size, shape, color or packaging material, the Company functions as a network of
custom job shops taking advantage of its size for technical expertise while
being able to respond quickly to the varying needs of global clients.

Image quality and consistency and ever-shortening response and delivery
times are becoming increasingly important to consumer products manufacturers as
packaging assumes a greater role in promotion. While graphic work represents a
relatively small percentage of overall packaging costs, the visual impact and
effectiveness of product packaging is largely dependent upon the quality of the
graphic work.


7



The Company's clients typically outsource their graphic requirements
and assign the Company the responsibility of interfacing with the clients and
client designated suppliers in developing and printing the packaging and related
materials. The Company competes on the basis of offering its multi-national
client base: (i) high quality customized imaging; (ii) rapid turnaround and
delivery times; (iii) up-to-date knowledge of the printing press specifications
of converters and printers located throughout the United States and Canada; (iv)
digital imaging asset management; (v) workflow management; (vi) art production;
and (vii) the ability to service its clients' global graphic requirements
through the Company's North American facilities and international subsidiaries
and alliance partners.

As technology has created opportunities for quicker production
turnarounds and deliveries, most of the Company's Fortune 1000 consumer products
clients have capitalized on the opportunity to modify their packaging more
frequently in order to customize their promotional activities on a regional,
seasonal or event related basis. This activity has greatly increased the
importance of maintaining the integrity of the digital and analog image design
and text data for each package variation.

In keeping with this need for greater control and organization, the
Company has expanded its services into a number of new areas that assist the
client with the overall management of their art processes. The Company has added
production art services that quickly execute and expand upon new graphics ideas,
and assist the client in speeding their brands to market with fewer errors and
higher efficiency. Additional services are provided through InterchangeDigital,
a wholly owned Schawk subsidiary. With InterchangeDigital's PaRTS product
(Production and Resource Tracking System), clients are able to maintain a
central archive of approved digital graphics and design templates that can be
used to normalize the production of packaging and collateral graphics on a
global basis. PaRTS also tracks vendor performance, time lines, and other
process critical data. InterchangeDigital delivers a broader range of integrated
services through its products than competing systems and in-turn is able to
drive a better value proposition for its customers. Schawk 3D is another group
that the Company has leveraged to provide 3D modeling capabilities to its
customers allowing them to review and deploy new graphics concepts in a shorter
time frame, and to proof concepts and collateral before actual manufacturing
begins. All of the Company's related services are leveraging new technologies
and solution services that focus on workflow and knowledge collaboration during
the product and concept development cycles. We believe that this focus is a
visible differentiator with would-be competitors and will help to maintain the
Company's status as a preferred supplier.

Given the increased computerization of the graphic services industry,
highly trained technicians are essential to the quality of the end product.
Requirements of turnaround speed without a reduction in quality are increasing
as clients strive for differentiation and customization of their products and
brands. The Company has met these requirements by continuously reinvesting in
technology, training its personnel and establishing numerous satellite on-site
operations to complement its main operating facilities.

To capitalize on market trends, management believes that the Company
must continue to be able to provide clients the ability to make numerous changes
and enhancements with shorter turnaround times than ever before. Accordingly,
the Company has focused its efforts on improving its response times and
continues to invest in rapidly emerging technology and the continuing education
of its employees. The Company also educates clients on the opportunities and
complexities of state-of-the-art equipment and software. The Company believes
that its ability to provide quick turnaround and delivery times, dependability
and value-added training and education programs will continue to give it a
competitive advantage in serving clients who require high volume, high quality
product imagery.

The Company's services are distinguished by its ability to complete
graphic services for packaging designs in increasingly compressed time frames
and with high standards of quality. In order to satisfy client requirements, the
Company is frequently required to provide services in as little as 24 hours. The
following core competencies of the Company are described in more detail below:

- Technical Expertise. The Company places an emphasis on investment
in state-of-the-art systems and equipment and the need for
continual training and development of its employees through
programs offered at the Company-owned training center and
operating facilities and on-site at client locations. The Company
has had success in elevating its employees' competency and its
clients' standards to levels requiring the superior technical
expertise and capabilities that distinguish the Company's
services.


8



- On-Site Personnel. The Company has placed over 130 employees
on-site at or near 41 client locations in an effort to further
integrate its graphic services directly with the client
operations. This facilitates faster turnaround and delivery times
and fosters stronger client relationships.

- Strong Relationships with Converters and Printers. As each client
selects its own converter(s) and/or printer(s) the Company
coordinates extensively with the converter to ensure uniformity
in color and appearance of the printed product packages. Each
client generally selects its printing services on a bid basis. By
using the Company as its imaging specialist, the print/read
imagery information is not captive at any one printer or
converter. This affords each client consistent image replication
at any printing site because the Company can supply any printer
or converter with film customized for its printing press.
Additionally, this allows the client to reproduce its image
consistently across many printing sources and it also provides
the client with information as to location and cost of its press
runs.

Over the course of its 49-year business history, the Company has
developed strong relationships with many of the major converters
and printers in the United States and Canada. As a result, the
Company has extensive knowledge of their equipment, thereby
enabling the Company to increase the overall efficiency of the
printing process. Internal operating procedures and conditions
may vary from printer to printer, affecting the quality of the
color image. In order to minimize the effects of these
variations, the Company makes necessary adjustments to its color
separation work to account for irregularities or idiosyncrasies
in the printing presses of each of its clients' converters. The
Company strives to afford its clients total control over their
imaging processes with customized and coordinated services
designed to fit each individual client's particular needs, all
aimed at ensuring that the color quality, accuracy and
consistency of a client's printed matter are maintained.

- Image Asset Management. The Company maintains and manages a
database for its clients' images and package designs. Once an
image is in the Company's database, the client can make frequent
regional, seasonal or event related adjustments to the file image
prior to printing. The Company's ability to quickly manipulate
digital images enables its clients to deliver their products to
the market faster. The Company's capabilities also allow it to
send an image for output and printing virtually anywhere in the
world. As more and more multi-national consumer products
companies strengthen their international packaging quality
control to enhance their global brand image, they are requiring a
more consistent worldwide image. In response to this trend, the
Company is playing an increasing role in ensuring that its
clients' images are satisfactory and consistent both domestically
and internationally. The acquisition of 65% of the Laserscan
Group in September, 1999 (and the subsequent purchase of the
remaining 35% minority interest in 2002) with operations in China
and Malaysia is indicative of the Company's commitment to its
clients on a worldwide basis.

ACQUISITIONS AND START-UP OPERATIONS

The Company has acquired and integrated more than 44 graphic and
imaging businesses into its operations since the business was founded in 1953.
Throughout its history, the Company has successfully identified acquisition
candidates that represent market niche companies with Fortune 1000 client lists,
excellent client service or proprietary products and solid management. The
Company favors businesses with management teams that will continue to operate
the businesses as autonomous units. The Company has also commenced a number of
start-up operations over the years when client servicing requirements or market
conditions warranted.

In 2002 the Company purchased the remaining 35% of the Laserscan Group.
Also in 2002, the Company's Canadian subsidiary acquired certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Imaginex, a Toronto area graphic company. There
were no acquisitions in 2000 or 2001. During 1999 the Company completed eight
acquisitions: Cactus Imaging Centres in Toronto, Canada; Color One in
Cincinnati, OH; Deluxe Engraving in Cincinnati, OH; Designer's Atelier in New
York, NY; Inter-Process Service in Stamford, CT; The Mackinder Group in New
York, NY; Plewes-Bertouche in Toronto, Canada and Laserscan, with operations in
China, Malaysia, and Thailand. During 1998 the Company completed five
acquisitions: S&M Rotogravure in New Berlin, Wisconsin; Chromart, Inc. in New
York, NY; Horan Imaging Solutions in New York, NY; Design Partners in Toronto,
Canada; and Herzig Somerville, Ltd. In Toronto, Canada.

There were no start-ups established in 2002. In 2001, the Company
established an art production operation in Chicago, Illinois. In 2000, the
Company established start-up operations in Stamford, Connecticut and Singapore.
In 1999, the Company established start-up operations in Kobe, Japan; Ardsley,
New York; and Charlotte, North Carolina. In 1998, the Company established a
start-up operation in Queretaro, Mexico. Due to unfavorable market conditions
the start-up in Ardsley, New York was shut down in 2001, and the start-ups in
Charlotte, North Carolina and Toronto, Ontario were shut down in 2000.

The Company intends to continue expanding through acquisitions of
well-managed companies with solid market positions and established client lists.
The Company believes that emphasis on complementary acquisitions of businesses
serving targeted markets will allow it to broaden its product offerings and
provide its clients with a single source for imaging and image database
services. The Company will also continue to analyze and investigate start-up
operations on an ongoing basis.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company is dedicated to keeping abreast of and, in a number of
cases, initiating technological process developments in its industry that have
applications for consumer products packaging. To build upon its leadership
position, the Company is actively involved in system and software technical
evaluations of various computer systems and software manufacturers and also
independently pursues software development for implementation at its operating
facilities. The Company continually invests in new technology designed to
support its high quality graphic services. The Company concentrates its efforts
in understanding systems and equipment available in the marketplace and creating
solutions using off-the-shelf products customized to meet a variety of specific
client and internal requirements. PaRTS(TM) and Schawk 3D are examples of the
Company's commitment to research and development. Total research and development
spending is not material.

As an integral part of its commitment to research and development, the
Company has established the Schawk Technical Advisory Board for the purpose of
researching and evaluating new technologies in the graphic arts and
telecommunications industries. The Advisory Board meets formally, at least
quarterly, to review new equipment and programs, then disseminates the
information to the entire Company and to clients as appropriate.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

The Company markets its services nationally and internationally through
seminars, newsletters and training sessions targeted at existing and potential
clients. The Company sells its services through a group of approximately 150
direct salespersons and 200 client service technicians who call on consumer
products manufacturers, including those in the food and beverage, home products,
pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries and mass merchant retailers. The Company
has adopted a team approach to marketing, reflective of its TQM philosophy. Both
the Company's salespersons and the Company's client service technicians share
responsibility for marketing the Company's offerings to existing and potential
clients, thereby fostering long-term institutional relationships with its
clients.

In addition to its numerous operations in the United States and Canada,
the Company has operations in Queretaro, Mexico, Kobe, Japan, Singapore,
Malaysia and China and a network of global affiliations in Australia, Europe and
Asia.

CLIENTS

The Company's clients consist of direct purchasers of color
separations, including end-use consumer product manufacturers and mass merchant
retailers, converters and advertising agencies. Many of the Company's clients, a
large percentage of which are Fortune 1000 companies, are multi-national in
scope and often use numerous converters both domestically and internationally.
Because these clients desire uniformity of color and image quality across a
variety of media, the Company plays a very important role in coordinating their
printing activities by maintaining current equipment specifications regarding
its clients and converters. Management believes that this role has enabled the
Company to establish closer and more stable relationships with these clients.
Converters also have a great deal of confidence in the quality of the Company's
services and have worked closely with the Company to reduce the converters'
required lead-time, thereby lowering their costs. End-use clients often select
and utilize the Company to ensure better control of their packaging or other
needs and depend upon the Company to act as their agent to ensure quality

management of data along with consistency among numerous converters and
packaging media. The Company has established 41 on-site locations at or near
clients that require high volume, specialized service. As its art production
services continue to expand, the Company anticipates that it will further
develop its on-site services to its client base.

Many of the Company's clients place orders on a daily and weekly basis
and work closely with the Company year-round as they frequently redesign product
packaging or introduce new products. While certain promotional activities are
seasonal, such as those relating to summer, back-to-school time and holidays,
shorter technology-driven graphic cycle time has enabled consumer products
manufacturers to tie their promotional activities to regional and/or current
events (such as sporting events or motion picture releases). This prompts such
manufacturers to redesign their packages more frequently, resulting in a
correspondingly higher number of packaging redesign assignments. This
technology-driven trend toward more frequent packaging changes has offset
previous seasonal fluctuations in the volume of the Company's business (also see
"Seasonality and Cyclicality").

In addition, consumer product manufacturers have a tendency to
single-source their graphic work with respect to a particular product line so
that continuity can be assured in changes to the product image. As a result, the
Company has developed a base of steady clients in the food and beverage
industry. During 2002 no single client accounted for more than 7.4% of the
Company's net sales, and the 10 largest clients in the aggregate accounted for
approximately 40% of net sales.

COMPETITION

The Company's competition comes primarily from other independent color
separators and converters and printers that have graphic service capabilities.
Independent color separators are companies whose business is performing graphic
services for one or more of the principal printing processes. The Company
believes that only two firms, Applied Graphics Technologies, Inc., through its
Wace Group subsidiary, and Southern Graphics, a subsidiary of Alcoa, compete
with the Company on a national basis. The remaining independent color separators
are regional or local firms that compete in specific markets. To remain
competitive, each firm must maintain client relationships and recognize, develop
and exploit state-of-the-art technology and contend with the increasing demands
for speed.

Some converters with graphic service capabilities compete with the
Company by performing such services in connection with printing work.
Independent color separators such as the Company, however, may offer greater
technical capabilities, image quality control and speed of delivery. In
addition, converters often utilize the services of the Company because of the
rigorous demands being placed on them by clients who are requiring faster
turnaround times. Increasingly, converters are being required to invest in
technology to improve speed in the printing process and have avoided spending on
graphic technology.

As requirements of speed continue to be critical, along with the
recognition of the importance of focusing on their core competencies, clients
have increasingly recognized that the Company provides services at a rate and
cost that makes outsourcing more cost effective and efficient.

PURCHASING AND RAW MATERIALS

The Company purchases photographic film and chemicals, storage media,
ink, plate materials and various other supplies and chemicals on consignment for
use in its business. These items are purchased from a variety of sources and are
available from a number of producers, both foreign and domestic. Materials and
supplies account for only a small portion of the Company's cost of production,
and no shortages are anticipated. Furthermore, as a growing proportion of the
workflow is digital, the already low percentage of materials in cost of sales
will continue to be reduced. Historically, the Company has negotiated and enjoys
significant volume discounts on materials and supplies from most of its major
suppliers.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2002 the Company had approximately 1,400 full-time
employees. Of this number, approximately 30% are production employees
represented by local units of the Graphic Arts International Union and by local
units of the Communications, Energy & Paperworkers Union of Canada. The
Company's union employees are vital to its operations. Collective bargaining
agreements covering the Company's union employees in four facilities are subject
to renegotiations. The Company considers its relationships with its employees
and unions to be good.

BACKLOG

The Company does not have or keep backlog figures as projects or orders
are generally in and out of the facilities within five to seven days. Generally,
the Company does not have contracts with its clients, but maintains client
relationships by delivering timely graphic services, providing technology
enhancements to make the process more efficient and bringing extensive
experience with and knowledge of printers and converters.

SEASONALITY AND CYCLICALITY

The Company's digital imaging graphic business for the consumer product
packaging graphic market is not currently seasonal because of the number of
design changes that are able to be processed as a result of speed-to-market
concepts and all-digital workflows. On the other hand, there is a three to four
year cycle for major design changes that the Company has experienced in the last
eight years resulting in greater volumes in certain years followed by more
modest volumes as only small changes are made before the next major redesign
cycle. With respect to the advertising and promotional markets, some seasonality
exists in that the months of December and January are typically the slowest
months of the year in this market because advertising agencies and their clients
typically finish their work by mid December and don't start up again until mid
January. Advertising and promotion is generally cyclical as the consumer economy
is cyclical. When consumer spending and GDP decreases, the amount of ad pages
declines. Generally, when ad pages decline the Company's advertising and
promotion business declines.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)

Certain statements contained herein that relate to the Company's beliefs or
expectations as to future events are not statements of historical fact and are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The Company intends any such statements
to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements
contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1999. Although the
Company believes that the assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements
are based are reasonable within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and
operations, it can give no assurance the assumptions will prove to have been
correct and undue reliance should not be placed as such statements. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from
the Company's expectations and beliefs include, among other things, the strength
of the United States economy in general and specifically market conditions for
the consumer products industry, the level of demand for the Company's services,
loss of key management and operational personnel, the ability of the Company to
implement its growth strategy, the stability of state, federal and foreign tax
laws, the ability of the Company to identify and exploit industry trends and to
exploit technological advances in the imaging industry, the stability of
political conditions in Asia and other foreign countries in which the Company
has production capabilities, terrorist attacks and the U.S. response to such
attacks, as well as other factors detailed in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company assumes no obligation to update
publicly any of these statements in light of future events.

New goodwill accounting rules. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 142,
the new accounting pronouncement on goodwill accounting. Previously, the Company
recorded monthly amortization of goodwill, generally over a 40-year period. The
new rules that became effective January 1, 2002 prohibit the amortization of
goodwill. Rather, goodwill is to be reviewed on a periodic basis, and if a
write-down is required, the write-down must be taken at that time, similar to an
impairment charge on other long-lived assets. The goodwill amortization was $545
and $2,161 for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2001, respectively. The
Company's results with the pro-forma effect of the new accounting rules on the
quarter and year ended December 31, 2001 are as follows:

(1) nm - Percentage not meaningful

Net sales for 2002 decreased 1.8% versus 2001. On the consumer products
packaging side of the business, which represents approximately 85% of the
Company's overall business, revenues with the Company's consumer products
packaging accounts increased 7.8% in the current year versus the prior year.
However, lower sales in the graphic for advertising agency business more than
offset the gains from the consumer products packaging business. The lower sales
level in the advertising agency business is due to the continuing weakness in
the advertising market.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for 2002 increased to 39.7%
from 39.6% for the prior year. Given the fact that net sales were lower than the
prior period, an increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales is a positive
result. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales indicates that the
cost cutting moves the Company initiated through its restructurings is having a
positive effect.

Operating income in 2002 was 26.3% higher than the previous year
despite $2.6 million of asset impairment and severance charges classified as
Restructuring and Other Charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as
compared to $1.1 million of restructuring charges in 2001. The increase in
operating income was attributable to cost reduction efforts and restructuring
efforts completed in prior years and the nonamortization of goodwill due to the
change in accounting method.


18



Restructuring and other charges of $2.6 million in 2002 resulted from
$2.2 million of charges for asset impairment recorded in accordance with the new
accounting standard for asset impairments, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 144 and $0.4 million from severance costs in the second half of
2002. The new accounting standard requires a review of all long-lived assets
including property, plant and equipment as well as any other long-term assets
when indicators of impairment exist. The Company performed a review as of June
30, 2002 and determined that $2.1 million of assets, primarily software and
software development assets, had little or no value based on obsolescence or
limited use. The Company also recorded asset impairment charges of $0.1 million
in the fourth quarter of 2002. In addition, in 2001 restructuring charges of
$1.1 million were recorded related to severance costs and the cost to terminate
a lease. . The Company continues to evaluate its operations for possible changes
including consolidation of certain locations and changing the staffing levels of
other operations to reflect the volume of business being serviced by such
locations.

Other income (expense) - net decreased in 2002 compared with 2001. The
lower net expense was primarily as a result of lower interest expense. The
decrease in interest expense was from a combination of lower interest rates and
lower borrowing levels in 2002 as compared to the prior year. The lower
borrowing levels were due to strong cash flows from operations that were
utilized, in part, to pay down debt. Interest expense also benefited from lower
rates in 2002 versus 2001.

Income tax provision as a percentage of pretax income was lower than
the previous year as a result of offsetting the regular tax provision with tax
benefits from state tax refunds received in the second quarter of 2002 and tax
benefits from the reduction in tax liabilities in connection with the settlement
of an outstanding liability for lower amount than the amount that had been
accrued. As a result, the effective tax rate for year ended December 31, 2002
was 31.5% as compared to 40.5% in the comparable period of the prior year.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased significantly
versus 2001 for the reasons previously discussed.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.63 and $0.62,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared with $0.37 and $0.37
for 2001.

2001 COMPARED TO 2000

Net sales. Net sales for 2001 decreased 10.0% from the prior year. The decrease
in revenues was primarily attributable to soft market conditions and mergers
among many of the Company's largest clients. Soft market conditions that began
impacting the Company's results in mid-2000 continued throughout all of 2001.
However, prepress for the packaging part of the business started to pick up in
the fourth quarter. Conversely, the prepress for advertising and promotion part
of the business remained soft throughout the fourth quarter reflecting the
lowest level of advertising spending in 20 years. Nine of the Company's top 20
accounts were involved in mergers in 2000 and 2001. With respect to the impact
of the mergers of many of our top accounts, branding and marketing decisions
were put on hold while corporate branding strategies were being reviewed and
changed. Management of the Company believes that most of the slowdown in
business related to mergers at the Company's clients is over. Finally, two
percentage points of the drop in sales in 2001 was from a strategic withdrawal
from printing in connection with consolidation of facilities in the Toronto
marketplace, which historically were at low margins and not part of the
Company's plans for the future.


20



Cost of sales. Cost of sales for 2001 as a percent of sales was consistent with
the prior year despite the decrease in sales previously described. Approximately
70% of the Company's costs are labor costs. The Company was able to reduce costs
as a result of previous and current year restructuring efforts through attrition
and layoffs.

Operating income. Operating income in 2001 decreased 24.4% from the prior year.
Operating income was negatively impacted by lower gross profit due to lower
volumes at most of the Company's divisions in 2001. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased as a percentage of sales to 28.8% in
2001 from 26.1% for 2000 as a result of spending on the Company's own branding
changes, including logo changes, new identities for the operating units using
the Schawk name to replace the historical names of acquired companies and
increased advertising. Other increases in SG&A are due to increased depreciation
and amortization in SG&A related to new computer equipment and software
purchased in 2000 to upgrade the Company's information systems to make them
consistent throughout the organization and increased staffing in information
systems to carry out the new systems initiatives.

Restructuring and other charges. The Company continued its restructuring program
in 2001, reducing staffing levels by 140 positions and further consolidating
certain operations. Total restructuring charges for 2001 were $1.1 million
compared to $3.1 million in the previous year. The restructuring charges in 2001
consisted of severance costs of $0.8 million and lease termination and other
costs of $0.3 million.

Other income (expense). The other expense decrease in 2001 is primarily due to
$1.6 million less interest expense as compared to 2000. The decreased interest
expense resulted from repaying debt from cash flow and from lower interest
rates. Conversely, other expense in 2001 was $0.06 million as compared to $0.9
million of other income in 2000. Other income in 2000 consisted primarily of
gains from the sale of printing presses in Canada in the third quarter totaling
$0.9 million.

Income before income taxes. Income before income taxes for 2001 decreased 27.5%
compared to the prior year. The reduction in pretax income margin was primarily
due to lower sales in 2001 as compared to 2000 as described previously.

Income taxes. Income taxes were at an effective rate of 40.5% and 41.8% for 2001
and 2000, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate was primarily due to
lower taxes in high tax rate states due to lower profits attributable to those
states in 2001 as compared to 2000.

Net income. Net income decreased 24.6% to $8.0 million for 2001 from $10.6
million for 2000 for the reasons previously discussed.

Earnings per share. Both basic and diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.37
for 2001 from $0.50 in 2000 as a result of the decrease in net income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company presently finances its business from available cash and
from cash generated from operations. Cash generated from operations in 2002
totaled $27.9 million. The Company maintains a $65 million unsecured credit
facility, expiring May 2004, of which approximately $40.0 million was available
for borrowings at December 31, 2002. The Company also maintains a $15 million
unsecured demand line of credit to provide financing and working capital
flexibility. At December 31, 2002, approximately $12.6 million was available for
borrowings under the demand line of credit. The Company also maintains working
capital demand lines of credit in Canada (US $3.2 million), China (US $1.5
million), and Malaysia (US $1.3 million).

Long-term debt and capital lease obligations decreased to $37.2 million
at December 31, 2002 from $52.1 million at December 31, 2001. The Company
reduced long-term debt by payment of $9.0 million on its unsecured credit
facility and $6.0 million on its Note Purchase Agreement dated August 18, 1995.
The outstanding amount on the demand lines of credit, included in current
liabilities, increased by $0.3 million.



21


At December 31, 2002, outstanding debt of the Company consisted of: (i)
unsecured notes issued pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated August 18,
1995, for $18.0 million with terms ranging from 2001 through 2005 at an interest
rate of 6.98%; (ii) $25.0 million of borrowings under the Company's unsecured
credit facility; (iii) $2.4 million of borrowings under its unsecured demand
credit line; and (iv) $0.2 million under a Malaysian term loan; (v) $0.3 million
under its Canadian line of credit; (vi) $0.4 million under its Chinese credit
facility; and (vii) $0.2 million under its Malaysian credit facility.

Management believes that the level of working capital is adequate for
the Company's liquidity needs related to normal operations both currently and in
the foreseeable future, and that the Company has sufficient resources to support
its growth, either through currently available cash, through cash generated from
future operations or through short-term financing.

The Company had capital expenditures of $7.6 million, $14.4 million,
and $15.5 million in 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively.

The Company had depreciation of $12.0 million in 2002 and 2001, and
$12.1 million in 2000.

In 2002, the Company paid $2.1 million for acquisitions. In 2001 and
2000, contingent payments representing additional purchase price on certain
prior acquisitions totaled $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

The Company purchased $1.0 million and $1.5 million in Class A Common
Stock in 2002 and 2001, respectively, under a share repurchase program approved
by the Board of Directors. No Class A Common Stock was purchased in 2000.

LABOR FORCE

The Company has a concentration of its labor force, representing
approximately 30% of its total employees, working under collective bargaining
agreements. These agreements expire ranging from 2003 to 2005.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us
to make estimates and judgments that effect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective
of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially
different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that
our critical accounting policies are limited to those described below. For a
detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies,
see Note 2 in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounts Receivable. The Company's clients are primarily consumer product
manufacturers, converters and advertising agencies; none of which individually
represent more than 7% of total revenue. Accounts receivable consist primarily
of amounts due to us from our normal business activities. We maintain an
allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected losses of accounts
receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified in the
portfolio.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We record impairment losses on long-lived
assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets
might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by
those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items. Our cash flow
estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate
of future market and operating conditions. The net carrying value of assets not
recoverable is reduced to fair value. Our estimates of fair value represent our
best estimate based on industry trends and reference to market rates and
transactions.


22



Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets. The Company had made acquisitions
in the past that included a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible
assets. Under generally accepted accounting principles in effect through
December 31, 2001, these assets were amortized over their estimated useful
lives, and were tested periodically to determine if they were recoverable from
operating earnings on an undiscounted basis over their useful lives.

Effective in 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to an annual
(or under certain circumstances more frequent) impairment test based on its
estimated fair value. Other intangible assets that meet certain criteria
continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are also subject to an
impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows. There are many
assumptions and estimates underlying the determination of an impairment loss.
Another estimate using different, but still reasonable, assumptions could
produce a significantly different result. Therefore, impairment losses could be
recorded in the future.

The Company adopted the new rules on Accounting for Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets effective January 1, 2002. Application of the nonamortization
provision resulted in an increase in net income of approximately $1.4 million
($0.07 per share).

During 2002, the Company performed the first required impairment test of
goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. It was determined appropriate
to consider the Company to be one reporting unit for purposes of this test and
that no impairment charge was required since the fair value of the Company
exceeds the Company's carrying value, including goodwill.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

The Company believes that over the past three years inflation has not
had a significant impact on the Company's results of operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE

Based on the Company's variable rate debt outstanding at December 31,
2002, a 1% change in interest rates would impact interest expense by
approximately $0.3 million. Assuming similar interest rates volatility in the
future, a near-term (12 months) change in interest rates would not materially
affect the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operation or
cash flows.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE

The Company has foreign operations that expose it to translation risk
when the local currency financial statements are translated to U.S. dollars.
Since changes in translation risk are reported as adjustments to stockholders'
equity, a 10% change in the foreign exchange rate would not have material effect
on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Schawk, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Schawk, Inc. as
of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2002. Our audits also include the financial
statement schedule listed in the index at item 15(a). These financial statements
and schedule are the responsibility of Schawk, Inc. management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Schawk,
Inc. at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in 2002 the
Company adopted FASB Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".
