MAIL-WELL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of
Mail-Well, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December
31, 2002. The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2001.
During June 2002, the decision was made to discontinue efforts to sell
the PrintXcel business. As such, the statement of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2001 have been restated to include this
business as part of the continuing operations. PrintXcel, which is the
Company's Printed Office Products operating segment, had previously been
reported in discontinued operations.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business
Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 also
includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill
and other intangible assets arising from business combinations completed
after June 30, 2001. Statement 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Statement 142 requires
that these assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually. Intangible
assets with finite lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated
useful lives. Additionally, Statement 142 requires that goodwill included
in the carrying value of equity method investments no longer be amortized.
Mail-Well adopted Statement 142 on January 1, 2002. The Company has
completed the first step of the two-step process prescribed in Statement
142 to test goodwill for impairment and has concluded that a portion of the
$213.5 million of goodwill related to our commercial printing business is
impaired. The extent of this impairment will not be known until step two of
the process has been completed. The Company will recognize the amount of
the impairment as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
as of January 1, 2002 when it is determined, but no later than December 31,
2002.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations. Statement 143 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Mail-Well will
adopt Statement 143 on January 1, 2003. The Company is evaluating the
impact of the adoption of Statement 143 on the consolidated financial
statements.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which establishes one
accounting model to be used for long-lived assets to be
5

(UNAUDITED)
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued
operations to include more disposal transactions. Statement 144 supercedes
SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of
Operations--Reporting the Effects Of Disposal of a Segment of a Business,
and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions. Mail-Well adopted Statement 144 as of January 1, 2002 and
there was no impact from the adoption of this statement.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB
Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and
Technical Corrections. This statement provides guidance on the
classification of gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt and on
the accounting for certain specified lease transactions. The Company is
currently evaluating the provisions of the new statement.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal
activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No.
94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and
Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring). Generally, SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a
cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized as
incurred, whereas EITF Issue No. 94-3 required such a liability to be
recognized at the time that an entity committed to an exit plan. The
company is currently evaluating the provisions of the new rule, which is
effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December
31, 2002.
3. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value
of net assets of businesses acquired and prior to the adoption of Statement
142 on January 1, 2002 was amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
years. Other intangible assets primarily arise from the purchase price
allocations of businesses acquired and are based on independent appraisals
or internal estimates and are amortized on a straight-line basis over
appropriate periods.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142, the Company ceased
amortizing goodwill on January 1, 2002. Had SFAS 142 been in effect on
January 1, 2001, the Company would not have recorded goodwill amortization
expense of $3.5 million and $10.5 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2001, respectively. The following table summarizes the
reported net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002
and September 30, 2001, adjusted to exclude goodwill amortization expense,
and the related tax effect, that would not have been recorded had the
provisions of SFAS 142 been in effect January 1, 2001 (in thousands, except
per share amounts):

6. LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock. There are no reconciling items between basic
and diluted loss per share.

6. LOSS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001,
interest on the Convertible Notes in the amount of $1,214,000 and
$3,641,000, respectively, and shares of 7,319,000 that would be issued upon
assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes were excluded from the
calculation of diluted loss per share due to the antidilutive effect on
loss per share. In addition, the outstanding options to purchase
approximately 6,274,000 shares of common stock in 2002 and 6,880,000 shares
of common stock in 2001 were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss
per share because the effect would be antidilutive.

========= =========
Current maturities at September 30, 2002 include the Convertible
Subordinated Notes which have been paid and current maturities from other
debt.
In June 2002, the Company entered into a new three year $300 million
Senior Secured Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks (the "Facility").
The Facility was used to refinance the Company's $800 million Secured
Senior Credit Facility. Under the Facility, loans may be made and letters
of credit issued on a revolving basis in each case subject to availability
and subject to a borrowing base. On September 30, 2002, the Company had
outstanding loans of $114.7 million and had $114.8 million of availability.
Loans made under the Facility bear interest at a base rate or LIBOR, plus a
margin (the interest rate at September 30, 2002 was 6.0%). The Company is
required to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net
worth. The Facility is secured by substantially all of the domestic assets
of the Company.
In March 2002, the Company issued $350 million of 9 5/8% Senior Notes
due 2012 ("Senior Notes"). Interest is payable semi-annually. The Company
may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, on or after March 15,
2007, at redemption prices from 100% to 104.813%, plus accrued and unpaid
interest. In addition, before March 2005, the Company can redeem up to 35%
of the Senior Notes at 109.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, with the net cash proceeds from certain common
stock offerings.

7. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
Deferred financing costs of $16.9 million incurred in connection with
the $800 million Secured Senior Credit Facility refinanced in June 2002
were written off during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The
write-off is reported net of tax as an extraordinary loss in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
As of September 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all of the
covenants of its various debt agreements.
8. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
The Company has responded to the impact of the current economic
environment on its businesses by continuing to evaluate its operations for
improvement opportunities. Because of the significant decline in sales
experienced over the last two years, actions to consolidate facilities,
rationalize and realign capacity, and otherwise reduce costs have been
implemented. These actions have resulted in significant restructuring
charges and other nonrecurring charges.
Restructuring and other charges recorded during the third quarter of
2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $39.4 million and
$63.2 million, respectively. The following table and discussion present the
details of these charges.

ENVELOPE. The consolidation of ten of the envelope manufacturing
facilities is almost complete. The Envelope segment began this
consolidation in 2001 in order to reduce excess internal capacity and
improve utilization of equipment and resources at its other envelope plants
in the United States and Canada. The costs incurred during the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 related to this consolidation were as follows:
* Employee training expenses of $6.1 million have been incurred to
train the new employees that were hired at the plants absorbing the
production of the plants being closed. The training programs for
these employees are between three and nine months in duration.
* Impairment charges of $8.1 million have been recorded for property
and equipment taken out of service or sold as a result of the plant
consolidations, net of $5.9 million received from the sales of those
assets.

9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The reported loss on the disposition of the prime Label segment and
Curtis 1000 Inc. as of September 30, 2002 includes adjustments to the net
realizable value of these operations based on actual proceeds received,
costs associated with the dispositions, the earnings or losses from the
operations through the date of disposition, an allocation of interest
expense through the date of disposition and the related income tax expense.
Interest expense was allocated to the operating results included in the
calculation of the loss on disposal of discontinued operations based upon
the relative net assets of the prime Label operating segment and Curtis 1000
Inc. This allocation of interest expense totaled $5.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and $3.6 million and $11.5 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. A tax benefit
allocated to the loss on disposal of discontinued operations based on their
operating results through the date of disposal totaled $1.2 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002. Taxes allocated to the loss on
disposal of discontinued operations based on their accrued and actual
operating results from June 2001 to the disposal date for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001 was a tax expense of $0.4 million and a tax
benefit of $1.1 million, respectively.

Assets primarily consist of accounts receivable, inventories, property
and equipment and deferred income taxes. Liabilities primarily consist of
accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred income taxes and other
long-term liabilities. The net assets of discontinued operations presented
in the condensed consolidated balance sheet reflect the write-down of the
assets of these operations to estimated net realizable value, the accrual
of obligations associated with the divestitures and the accrual of
estimated losses to the expected date of disposal.
In connection with the proposed divestiture of the Company's PrintXcel
business in 2001, the Company reduced the carrying amounts of the net
assets of PrintXcel by $45.0 million to the expected net realizable value
based on estimated proceeds, net of costs associated with its planned
disposition. As a result of the Company's decision not to sell PrintXcel,
it reversed a tax benefit in the amount of $11.5 million that would not be
realized and $1.1 million of expenses related to the sale that had been
accrued but not incurred. The net amount of these adjustments has been
reported as "Impairment on former discontinued operation" in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
10. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
The Company's divestiture plans also include the sale of the digital
graphics division of the Commercial Print segment and the filing products
division of the Envelope segment.
In August 2002, the Company sold the filing products division for $36.7
million. The impairment of $6.1 million incurred as a result of this
divestiture was recorded as of June 30, 2002. The sale of our digital
graphics division is expected prior to December 31, 2002.

(a) Operating income is net of all costs and expenses directly related to the operating segment involved.
Corporate expenses include corporate general and administrative expenses, lease expense, amortization
expense of other intangible assets and goodwill (in 2001), gains or losses on disposal of assets and
other miscellaneous expenses.
(b) Identifiable assets are accumulated by facility within each operating segment. Certain operating assets,
which are under lease, are reported as operating segment assets for evaluation purposes. The net book
value of these assets has been eliminated by contra assets included with corporate assets in order to
reconcile identifiable assets with the total assets of the Company. Corporate assets consist primarily
of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, other assets and deferred tax assets.
Intercompany sales for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002 were $1.7 million and $10.9 million, respectively. Intercompany sales
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $8.6 million
and $32.8 million, respectively. These amounts, which are eliminated in
consolidation, are excluded from reported net sales.

12. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In March 2002, Mail-Well I Corporation ("Issuer" or "MWI"), the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary, and the only direct subsidiary of the
Company, issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 9 5/8% Senior
Notes ("Senior Notes") due in 2012. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by all
of the U.S. subsidiaries (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") of MWI, all of
which are wholly owned, and by Mail-Well, Inc. ("Parent Guarantor"). The
guarantees are joint and several, full, complete and unconditional. There
are no material restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries
to transfer funds to MWI in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances,
other than ordinary legal restrictions under corporate law, fraudulent
transfer and bankruptcy laws.
In December 1998, MWI issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of
8 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes ("Senior Subordinated Notes") due in 2008.
The Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by Guarantor Subsidiaries and
by the Parent Guarantor. The guarantees are joint and several, full,
complete and unconditional. There are no material restrictions on the
ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to transfer funds to MWI in the form
of cash dividends, loans or advances, other than ordinary legal
restrictions under corporate law, fraudulent transfer and bankruptcy laws.
The following condensed consolidating financial information illustrates
the composition of the Parent Guarantor, Issuer, Guarantor Subsidiaries and
non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the
non-guarantor subsidiaries comprise all of the direct and indirect
subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor. Curtis 1000 Inc. was, until it was
divested in the first quarter of 2002, a subsidiary of the Issuer and a
guarantor of the Senior Subordinated Notes. Curtis 1000 Inc. was not at any
time a guarantor of the Senior Notes. In order to provide a coherent
presentation in the following condensed consolidating financial
information, and because Curtis 1000 Inc. has been divested and is not a
guarantor of the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Senior Notes, Curtis 1000
Inc.'s financial information is included in the non-guarantor information
for all periods presented. Management has determined that separate complete
financial statements would not provide additional material information that
would be useful in assessing the financial composition of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method,
wherein the investor company's share of earnings and income taxes
applicable to the assumed distribution of such earnings are included in net
income. In addition, investments increase in the amount of permanent
contributions to subsidiaries and decrease in the amount of distributions
from subsidiaries. The elimination entries remove the equity method
investment in subsidiaries and the equity in earnings of subsidiaries,
intercompany payables and receivables and other transactions between
subsidiaries.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION.
CORPORATE OVERVIEW
In 2001, we adopted a strategy to focus on our two primary
businesses--envelopes and commercial printing--and announced plans to
divest our prime label and printed office products businesses and certain
operations not strategic to our envelope and commercial printing
businesses. In addition to the planned divestitures, we initiated a
restructuring program and several other initiatives to improve our
competitive position, improve our operating efficiencies, reduce costs and
increase marketing effectiveness.
In February 2002, we sold Curtis 1000 Inc., a business included in our
printed office products business, and in May 2002, we sold our prime label
business. As of June 2002, we had not received an offer for PrintXcel, also
part of our printed office products business, that we considered consistent
with its value. Because PrintXcel generates reliable cash flow and a
satisfactory return on assets, we concluded that it was not in the best
interest of the Company to sell the business at the offer price and we
discontinued our efforts to do so. This business will now be an integral
part of our strategy to expand our print products and services to a larger
customer base and bundle our various products and services to our
customers.
On August 8, 2002, we sold the filing products division of our envelope
business. We are continuing our efforts to sell the digital graphics
division of our commercial printing business.
Mail-Well is the world's largest manufacturer of envelopes. We produce
more than 40 billion envelopes annually in our 39 envelope manufacturing
facilities located throughout the United States and Canada. Approximately
84% of these envelopes are customized specifically for our customers for
use in billing and remittance, direct mail advertising and specialty
packaging. The remaining 16% are stock envelopes sold into the resale
market.
We are also one of the largest commercial printers in the United
States. We operate 29 printing plants located strategically throughout the
United States and one in Canada. We specialize in high impact printing, in
which we print a wide range of premium products for national customers,
including advertising literature, corporate identity materials, annual
reports, car brochures, calendars, greeting cards, brand marketing
collateral, catalogs, maps, CD packaging and direct mail. We also produce
general commercial printing for local and regional customers.
In addition, we operate a printed office products business. This
business, which operates 12 manufacturing facilities throughout the United
States, is a leading supplier of customized and stock labels, mailers and
printed business documents to small and mid-size businesses generally
through independent distributors of office products. The labels produced
and sold by our printed office products division do not compete with those
produced and sold by the now-divested prime label segment due to
differences in customer base, distribution channels and production methods.
Paper is our most significant raw material. We purchase approximately
494,000 tons of paper annually for our businesses. Prices of uncoated
papers, which are the principal grades of paper used to manufacture
envelopes, were relatively stable in the first half of 2002. In October
2002, the price of uncoated paper increased 10%. Prices of coated papers,
which are used principally in commercial printing, remained flat in the
first half of 2002. Historical changes in paper pricing generally have not
affected the operating results of our commercial printing business because
we have been able to pass on paper price increases to our customers. Paper
pricing has, however, impacted the operating margins of our envelope
business. When paper prices are rising, operating margins on our envelope
products tend to be lower because we generally are not able to increase our
prices as quickly as paper prices increase.
25
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The financial statements for all periods presented have been restated
as required by generally accepted accounting principles to report the
results of our prime label business and Curtis 1000 Inc. as discontinued
operations. Prior to our decision in June 2002 to discontinue our efforts
to sell our PrintXcel business, it had also been reported as a discontinued
operation. Since this business is no longer held for sale, the results of
PrintXcel are now included in continuing operations. The summary financial
data set forth in the tables that follow present reported amounts as well
as comparable financial data for New Mail-Well. New Mail-Well excludes the
results of the discontinued operations, the results of the filing products
division of our envelope business that has been sold and the results of the
digital graphics division of our commercial printing business that is held
for sale. In addition, New Mail-Well's results exclude restructuring,
impairments and other charges reported in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002 and 2001.
The economic slowdown which began in 2001 has continued to adversely
affect the sales and margins of our businesses in 2002, especially the
portion of our commercial printing business related to print advertising,
the direct mail segment of our envelope business, and the traditional
documents market of printed office products. We do not expect significant
increases in sales and margins until the markets we serve, especially
advertising and direct mail, recover. In the meantime, we have continued to
take the actions necessary to maintain or improve our margins and thus
mitigate as much as possible the impact of lower sales on our businesses.

* Excludes sales of the filing products division of envelope and the
digital graphics division of commercial printing and includes sales to
discontinued operations that are expected to continue. Sales to
discontinued operations prior to their divestiture, were $3.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and $6.3 million and $24.2
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001.
New Mail-Well's sales in the third quarter of 2002 were $30.4 million,
or 6.8%, below sales during the third quarter of 2001. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, sales were $133.9 million, or 9.8%, below the
comparable period in 2001.
* Sales of our national printing business have been approximately 7%
below 2001 throughout 2002. Sales of our local commercial printing
business, which were 13% below sales in 2001, showed improvement in
the third quarter in certain markets.
* Sales of our envelope business, which were 9.2% below sales in 2001,
improved slightly in the third quarter. The decline in sales of our
envelope business was due primarily to lower sales to direct mail
customers.
* Sales of our printed office products business were 7.8% below 2001 due
primarily to lower sales of traditional business documents.
Reported sales during the third quarter of 2002 and for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 declined about the same as sales of New Mail-Well
and were affected by similar market dynamics.
26
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
We have responded to the impact of the current economic environment on
our businesses by continuing to evaluate our operations for improvement
opportunities. Because of the significant decline in sales experienced over
the last two years, we have taken actions to consolidate facilities,
rationalize and realign capacity, and otherwise reduce costs. These actions
have resulted in significant restructuring charges and other nonrecurring
charges. This process is ongoing, as our industry and markets change, and
we will continue to take the actions necessary to address these changes.
Restructuring and other charges recorded during the third quarter of
2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $39.4 million and
$63.2 million, respectively. The following table and discussion present the
details of these charges.

ENVELOPE. The consolidation of ten of our envelope manufacturing
facilities is almost complete. We began this consolidation in 2001 in order
to reduce excess internal capacity and improve utilization of equipment and
resources at our other envelope plants in the United States and Canada. The
cost incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 related to
this consolidation were as follows:
* Employee training expenses of $6.1 million have been incurred to
train the new employees that were hired at the plants absorbing the
production of the plants being closed. The training programs for
these employees are between three and nine months in duration.
* Impairment charges of $8.1 million have been recorded for property
and equipment taken out of service or sold as a result of the plant
consolidations, net of $5.9 million received from the sales of those
assets.
* Project management expenses of $8.1 million are primarily consulting
fees and related expenses incurred to assist management in managing
the consolidation project. Consultants were used to assist in such
tasks as capacity planning, workflow planning, production scheduling
and change management.
* Other exit costs of $3.9 million include the expenses incurred to
dismantle and move equipment, and the cost incurred to restore
buildings to the condition required by lease agreements or to prepare
them for sale.
* In 2001, we accrued separation and related employee costs to cover
the 920 employees we expected would be terminated over the course of
this project. As of September 30, 2002, 720 employees had been
separated and we have reduced the accrual by $0.5 million.
27
We estimate that we will incur $7.5 million of additional expenses
related to the plant consolidations in the fourth quarter of which $4.0
million will be non-cash.
As a result of other cost reduction actions, our envelope business
incurred severance expenses of $0.2 million in connection the elimination

COMMERCIAL PRINTING. In September 2002, we announced the closure of our
printing facility in New York City. In connection with this closure, we
recorded $1.0 million to cover the employee separation and related expenses
for 80 employees and $0.1 million of equipment lease payments. In addition,
we recorded an impairment charge of $2.1 million on equipment taken out of
service or sold. We anticipate additional charges of $3.0 million in the
fourth quarter when the closure of this facility is completed.
We also announced plans to consolidate web printing operations. This
consolidation will result in lower fixed costs and improve manufacturing
efficiency and equipment utilization. Employee separation and related
expenses for 49 employees recorded in connection with these plans totaled
$0.3 million. We also recorded other exit costs of $1.6 million which were
primarily outstanding lease obligations. Additional costs to complete this
consolidation is expected to total $3.6 million of which $0.9 million will
be non-cash.
During the third quarter of 2002, we completed right sizing our
printing operations in Seattle, Washington and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
These actions were taken because of the significant decline in sales at
both of these locations. In taking these actions, we incurred employee
separation and related expenses of $0.6 million for 49 employees and $0.3
million of other exit costs. We do not anticipate any further cash
restructuring expenditures at these two locations.
Our commercial printing business has reduced the size of many of its
other operations in response to the significant decline in sales. We have
incurred employee separation and related expenses of $1.3 million as a
result of the elimination of 158 jobs year-to-date.
