presented.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operation

      On August 19, 2002, we reported that we had discovered accounting
inaccuracies in certain prior period financial statements requiring restatement
of the financial statements for those periods. This statement involved
inaccuracies related to the recording of expenses associated with the issuance
of certain warrants by the Company. We are restating our statements of
operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity for the years ended December
31, 2001 and 2000 and for the interim periods ended March 31, June 30 and
September 30 of 2001 and 2002, and the balance sheets as of December 31, 2001
and 2000.

      We have  determined  that in 2000 and 2001, the Company did not record the
proper amount of expense associated with the issuance of warrants by the Company
in connection with the issuance of certain  subordinated debt and certain senior
debt by the  Company.  Based upon the fair value of the  warrants at the time of
issuance, a debt discount was to be recorded in the amount of such warrant value
with respect to the  subordinated  and senior debt with which the warrants  were
associated.  This discount was to be amortized and expensed over the term of the
debt.  The total  amount of this  debt  discount  related  to the  warrants  was
$487,440  and was to be recorded  over the period from  November,  1999  through
September 30, 2002.  During that time,  the total amount  actually  recorded was
$14,273, which was recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2001.

      We have  determined  that the  amount  of such  expense  should  have been
recorded in the following periods for the following amounts:

      Two Months Ended December 31, 1999                           $42,556
      Quarter Ended March 31, 2000                                 $45,523
      Quarter Ended June 30, 2000                                  $45,523
      Quarter Ended September 30, 2000                             $45,523
      Quarter Ended December 31, 2000                              $45,523
      Quarter Ended March 31, 2001                                 $42,471
      Quarter Ended June 30, 2001                                  $36,368
      Quarter Ended September 30, 2001                             $43,243
      Quarter Ended December 31, 2001                              $18,998
      Quarter Ended March 31, 2002                                 $ 6,875
      Quarter Ended June 30, 2002                                  $ 6,875
      Quarter Ended September 30, 2002                             $ 6,875

      The restated  financial  statements in this Report  incorporate the proper
entries for these expenses and all necessary  adjustments  have been made to the
statement of operations,  cash flows,  stockholders' equity and balance sheet in
the financial statements.

Results of Operations

     Net Sales.  For the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2001, net sales were
$6,808,000,  compared  to net sales of  $4,891,000  for the three  months  ended
September  30, 2000,  an increase of 39%. Net sales for the first nine months of
fiscal 2001 increased 13% to  $19,765,000,  compared to net sales of $17,477,000
for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000.  This  increase is  attributable
primarily to an increase in sales of  laminated,  specialty and printed films of
84% compared to the same period of the prior year.

     Cost of Sales.  For the fiscal  quarter ended  September 30, 2001,  cost of
sales decreased to 71% of net sales as compared to 72% of net sales in the three
month period ended September 30, 2000. Cost of goods sold was 72.7% of net sales
for the first nine  months of fiscal  2001,  compared  to 69% for the nine month
period  ended  September  30,  2000,  reflecting a change in the product mix and
margins on certain products for that period.

     Administrative.   For  the  fiscal   quarter  ended   September  30,  2001,
administrative  expenses  were  $857,000,  or 12.6% of net sales as  compared to
$815,000,  or 16.6% of net sales for the three month period ended  September 30,
2000.  For the first nine months of fiscal 2001,  administrative  expenses  were
$2,422,000,  or 12.3% of net sales as  compared to  $2,530,000,  or 14.5% of net
sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000.

     Selling.  For the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2001, selling expenses
were  $492,000 or 7.2% of net sales,  as compared  to  $382,000,  or 7.2% of net
sales for the three month period ended  September  30, 2000.  For the first nine
months of fiscal 2001, selling expenses were $1,363,000, or 6.9% of net sales as
compared to  $1,460,000,  or 8.4% of net sales for the three month  period ended
September 30, 2000.


                                       2


     Advertising and Marketing. For the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2001,
advertising  and  marketing  expenses  were  $296,000,  or 4.3% of net  sales as
compared  to  $277,000,  or 5.7% of net sales in the three  month  period  ended
September 30, 2000.  For the first nine months of fiscal 2001,  advertising  and
marketing expenses were $874,000,  or 4.4% of sales as compared to $902,000,  or
5.2% of net sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000.

     Other  Income or Expense.  Interest  expense  decreased to $259,000 for the
quarter  ended  September  30, 2001, as compared to $284,000 for the three month
period ended September 30, 2000.  Interest expense increased to $880,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $841,000 for the nine month
period ended  September 30, 2000. The increase in interest  expense for the nine
month period is attributable to a higher overall level of borrowings.

      Net Income or Loss. For the fiscal  quarter ended  September 30, 2001, the
Company  incurred  a loss  before  taxes and  minority  interest  of  $76,000 as
compared to a loss before taxes and minority  interest of $359,000 for the three
month period ended September 30, 2000.  Income tax expense for the third quarter
of fiscal 2001 was $2,000, resulting in a net loss (after provision for minority
interest)  of $58,000.  The income tax expense for the three month  period ended
September 30, 2000 was ($158,000),  resulting in a net loss (after provision for
minority  interest) of $202,000.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 2001,
the net loss was  $210,000,  as compared to a net loss of $438,000  for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2000.

Financial Condition

     Liquidity and Capital  Resources.  Cash flow used in operations  during the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  2001 was  $853,000,  which was  affected by
increases in both accounts  receivable  and inventory  resulting  from increased
sales volume and a decrease in the amount of  depreciation  expense.  During the
nine month period ended  September 30, 2000,  cash flows  provided by operations
were $1,399,000.

     Investment  Activities.  During the nine months ended  September  30, 2001,
cash flow  used in  investing  activities  for the  purchase  of  machinery  and
equipment  was  $682,000.  In the nine month  period ended  September  30, 2000,
$1,396,000  was used in investing  activities,  primarily for the purchase of an
interest in CTI Mexico.

     Financing  Activities.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 2001, cash
flow provided by financing activities was $1,248,000. The primary source of this
cash flow was the net proceeds  from new long-term  indebtedness  (offset by the
payment of prior  indebtedness)  as well as an increase  in the amount  advanced
under the Company's  revolving  line of credit.  Cash flow provided by financing
activities  for the nine month period  ending  September  30, 2000 was $195,000,
resulting primarily from the repayment of long term debt.

     At  September  30, 2001,  the Company had a cash  balance of $237,000.  The
Company's  current cash management  strategy includes  maintaining  minimal cash
balances and utilizing the revolving line of credit for  liquidity.  At December
31, 2000, the Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of $338,000.  At September
30,  2001,  the  Company had a working  capital  deficit of  ($338,000),  and at
December 31, 2000, a working capital deficit of ($3,862,000).


                                       3


     The Company  believes that existing  capital  resources and cash  generated
from  operations  will be sufficient to meet the Company's  requirements  for at
least 12 months.

     Seasonality.   In  the  metallized   ballooon   product  line,  sales  have
historically  been seasonal,  with  approximately  20% to 27% of annual sales of
metallized  balloons  being  generated in December and January and 11% to 13% of
annual mylar sales being generated in June and July in recent years. The sale of
latex balloons and laminated film products have not historically  been seasonal.
As sales of latex  balloons  and  laminated  film  products  have  increased  in
relation to sales of metallized  balloons,  the effect of this  seasonality  has
been reduced.

     Safe Harbor Provision of the Private Securities  Litigation Act of 1995 and
Forward  Looking  Statements.  The  Company  operates  in a dynamic  and rapidly
changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties.  The market
for foil and latex  balloon  products  is  generally  characterized  by  intense
competition,  frequent new product  introductions and changes in customer tastes
which can render existing  products  unmarketable.  The statements  contained in
Item 2 (Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation) that are not historical  facts may be  forward-looking  statements
(as such term is defined in the rules  promulgated  pursuant  to the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934) that are subject to a variety of risks and  uncertainties
more fully  described in the Company's  filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission including,  without limitation,  those described under "Risk Factors"
in the Company's Form SB-2 Registration Statement (File No. 333-31969) effective
November 5, 1997. The forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the
Company's management,  as well as assumptions made by, and information currently
available to the Company's management. Accordingly, these statements are subject
to significant  risks,  uncertainties  and  contingencies  which could cause the
Company's  actual  growth,  results,  performance  and  business  prospects  and
opportunities  in 2001 and beyond to differ  materially from those expressed in,
or implied by, any such  forward-looking  statements.  Wherever possible,  words
such as  "anticipate,"  "plan,"  "expect,"  "believe,"  "estimate,"  and similar
expressions have been used to identify these forward-looking statements, but are
not  the  exclusive  means  of  identifying   such   statements.   These  risks,
uncertainties and contingencies  include,  but are not limited to, the Company's
limited operating history on which expectations regarding its future performance
can be based,  competition  from, among others,  national and regional  balloon,
packaging  and custom film product  manufacturers  and sellers that have greater
financial,  technical and marketing resources and distribution capabilities than
the Company,  the availability of sufficient capital, the maturation and success
of the  Company's  strategy  to  develop,  market and sell its  products,  risks
inherent in conducting  international  business,  risks associated with securing
licenses, changes in the Company's product mix and pricing, the effectiveness of
the  Company's  efforts to control  operating  expenses,  general  economic  and
business conditions affecting the Company and its customers in the United States
and other  countries  in which the  Company  sells and  anticipates  selling its
products  and  services  and the  Company's  ability to (i) adjust to changes in
technology, customer preferences, enhanced competition and new competitors; (ii)
protect its intellectual  property rights from infringement or misappropriation;
(iii) maintain or enhance its  relationships  with other businesses and vendors;
and (iv) attract and retain key  employees.  There can be no assurance  that the
Company will be able to identify,  develop, market, sell or support new products
successfully,  that any such new products will gain market  acceptance,  or that
the  Company  will  be  able to  respond  effectively  to  changes  in  customer
preferences.  There can be no  assurance  that the  Company  will not  encounter
technical or other  difficulties that could delay introduction of new or updated
products


                                       4


in the future. If the Company is unable to introduce new products and respond to
industry  changes or customer  preferences on a timely basis, its business could
be  materially  adversely  affected.  The Company is not  obligated to update or
revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances.

Part II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     During the quarter, the Company was served as a third-party  defendant in a
pending action filed by RealFresh, Inc., a California corporation, ("RealFresh")
against Packaging  Systems,  LLC, an Illinois limited liability company ("PSI").
In the action, RealFresh seeks damages from PSI for losses it claims it incurred
by reason of PSI  supplying  defective  packaging  materials.  The Company was a
supplier to PSI of certain films utilized by PSI in these  packaging  materials.
PSI   initiated  a  third-party   claim  against  the  Company  for   indemnity,
contribution and breach of contract.  The Company believes the third-party claim
against it is without  merit and  intends to  maintain a vigorous  defense.  The
Company has notified its insurance  carrier of the claim.  Final outcome of this
matter is uncertain,  and a range of loss (beyond any claims that may be covered
by insurance) cannot reasonably be estimated at this time.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating  results for the nine month period ended September 30,
2001 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the

financial  statements and footnotes  thereto included in the Registrant  Company
and  Subsidiaries'  annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2000.

In the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments,  consisting  only of  normal
recurring  adjustments  considered necessary for a fair presentation,  have been
included.  The results of operations  for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected
for the  full  year or for  any  future  periods.  The  accompanying  unaudited,
condensed  consolidated  financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated  financial statements contained in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB/A  filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission on
December 31, 2000. The balance sheet at September 30, 2001 has been derived from
the audited  financial  statement as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000
but does not include all the  information  and  footnotes  required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

Note 2 - Restatement

The Company restated its balance sheet as of December 31, 2000. The restatement

Note 3 - Company Debt Restructure

In January 2001, the Company  entered into a Loan and Security  Agreement with a
new lender  under  which the  lender  has  provided  the  Company  with a credit
facility  in  the  amount  of  $9,500,000,  secured  by  equipment,   inventory,
receivables,  and other assets of the Company.  The credit  facility  includes a
term  loan of  $1,426,000,  at an  interest  rate of  prime  plus  0.75%,  and a
revolving line of credit at an interest rate of prime plus 0.50%,  the amount of
which is based on advances of up to 85% of eligible  receivables  and 50% of the
value  of  the  Company's   inventory.   The  credit   facility  is  secured  by
substantially all assets of the Company. The term of this credit facility is for
a period of three years, which may be extended by either party for an additional
year.

Also in January 2001, another lender loaned to the Company the sum of $2,873,000
in a refinance of the Company's  principal office building and property situated
in Barrington,  Illinois. The loan is secured by the aforementioned building and
property,  and has been made in the form of two notes.  The first note is in the
principal  amount of $2,700,000,  bears interest at the rate of 9.75%, and has a
term of five years with an amortization  period of 25 years.  The second note is
in the principal amount of $173,000 with an interest rate of 10%, and has a term
of three years.

Note 4 - Warrants Issued

In July, 2001, warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at $1.78 were issued. The new warrants expire on July 17, 2006.

On October 30, 2001,  the Company  filed the  necessary  documentation  with the
Illinois and Delaware  Secretaries  of State in order to complete its  migratory
merger/state of incorporation change from Delaware to Illinois. As a consequence
of the merger,  all shares of the Company's  authorized and issued capital stock
shall be of no par value.




Note 6 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

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

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

Note 7 - Earnings Per Share

The  Company  adopted  SFAS No.  128,  "Earnings  per Share," for the year ended
October 31, 1998.  Adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the income  available to common
shareholders  by  the  weighted   average  number  of  shares  of  common  stock
outstanding during each period.

Diluted  earnings  per share is computed by dividing  net income by the weighted
average  number of shares of common  stock and common stock  equivalents  (stock
options and warrants), unless anti-dilutive, during each period.

Earnings per share for the periods  ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was computed as
follows:
