NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2007
(Unaudited)

(1)

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Presentation -

CSS Industries, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “CSS” or the “Company”) has prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation -

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of Business -

CSS is a consumer products company primarily engaged in the design, manufacture, procurement, distribution and sale of seasonal and all occasion products, principally to mass market retailers. These products include gift wrap, gift bags, gift boxes, boxed greeting cards, gift tags, decorative tissue paper, decorations, classroom exchange Valentines, decorative ribbons and bows, Halloween masks, costumes, make-up and novelties, Easter egg dyes and novelties, and craft and educational products. The seasonal nature of CSS’ business has historically resulted in lower sales levels and operating losses in the first and fourth quarters and comparatively higher sales levels and operating profits in the second and third quarters of the Company’s fiscal year which ends March 31, thereby causing significant fluctuations in the quarterly results of operations of the Company.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions -

Translation adjustments are charged or credited to a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are not material and are included in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates -

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

Inventories -

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

		June 30,				March 31,
		2007				2007
Raw material		$	23,846			$	14,442
Work-in-process			30,402				31,283
Finished goods			70,764				36,413
		$	125,012			$	82,138

Assets Held for Sale -

Assets held for sale in the amount of $2,564,000 represents two former manufacturing facilities which the Company is in the process of selling. The Company expects to sell these facilities within the next 12 months for an amount greater than the current carrying value. The Company ceased depreciating these facilities at the time they were classified as held for sale.

Revenue Recognition -

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

Net Income Per Common Share -

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands, except per share data):

		Three Months Ended
		June 30,
		2007				2006
Numerator:
Net loss		$	(4,427	)		$	(5,507	)
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic loss per common share			10,882				10,496

Adjusted weighted average shares outstanding for diluted loss per common share			10,882				10,496
Basic and diluted net loss per common share		$	(.41	)		$	(.52	)

The effect of dilutive stock options is not reflected as they are anti-dilutive.

Statements of Cash Flows -

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all holdings of highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity at time of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:

Under the terms of the 2004 Equity Compensation Plan (“2004 Plan”), the Human Resources Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses and other awards to officers and other employees. Grants under the 2004 Plan may be made through August 3, 2014. The term of each grant is at the discretion of the Committee, but in no event greater than ten years from the date of grant. The Committee has discretion to determine the date or dates on which granted options become exercisable. All options outstanding as of June 30, 2007 become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date of grant. At June 30, 2007, options to acquire 1,207,375 shares were available for grant under the 2004 Plan.

Under the terms of the CSS Industries, Inc. 2006 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (“2006 Plan”), non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock are available for grant to non-employee directors at exercise prices of not less than fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Under the 2006 Plan, options to purchase 4,000 shares of the Company’s common stock will be granted automatically to each non-employee director on the last day that the Company’s common stock is traded in each November until 2010. Each option will expire five years after the date the option is granted and commencing one year after the date of grant, options begin vesting and are exercisable at the rate of 25% per year. At June 30, 2007, options to acquire 180,000 shares were available for grant under the 2006 Plan.

Compensation cost related to stock options recognized in operating results (included in selling, general and administrative expenses) was $681,000 and $744,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following average assumptions:

		For the Three Months
		Ended June 30,
		2007				2006
Expected dividend yield at time of grant			1.59	%			1.61	%
Expected stock price volatility			29	%			24	%
Risk-free interest rate			4.80	%			4.96	%
Expected life of option (in years)			4.2				4.7

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life of the option is estimated using historical data pertaining to option exercises and employee terminations. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant.

Transactions from April 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007 under the above plans (and their predecessor plans) were as follows:

																		Aggregate
										Weighted				Weighted				Intrinsic
		Number				Option Price				Average				Average Life				Value
		of Shares				per Share				Price				Remaining				(in thousands)
Options outstanding at April 1, 2007			1,508,110			$	12.71 – 36.60			$	26.94			3.9 years				$	15,901
Granted			151,500				35.23 – 35.23				35.23
Exercised			(65,907	)			13.21 – 35.98				26.37
Canceled			(12,950	)			23.58 – 34.12				31.20
Options outstanding at June 30, 2007			1,580,753			$	12.71 – 36.60			$	27.72			3.8 years				$	18,795
Options exercisable at June 30, 2007			892,378			$	12.71 – 36.60			$	24.09			3.6 years				$	13,847

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $9.43 and $9.53, respectively.

As of June 30, 2007, there was $6,099,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

(3)

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts in order to reduce the impact of certain foreign currency fluctuations. Firmly committed transactions and the related receivables and payables may be hedged with forward exchange contracts. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in income or expense as offsets of gains and losses resulting from the underlying hedged transactions. As of June 30, 2007, the notional amount of open foreign currency forward contracts was $8,983,000 and the related unrealized loss was $306,000. As of March 31, 2007, the notional amount of open foreign currency forward contracts was $294,000 and the related unrealized gain was immaterial.

(4)

BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING:

On November 27, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a restructuring plan to combine the operations of its Cleo Inc (“Cleo”) and Berwick Offray LLC (“Berwick Offray”) subsidiaries, to close Cleo’s Maysville, Kentucky production facility and to exit a non-material, non-core business. This restructuring was undertaken in order to improve profitability and efficiency through the elimination of redundant back office functions, certain senior management positions and excess manufacturing capacity. The Company expects to complete the restructuring plan by September 30, 2007. As part of the restructuring plan, the Company recorded a restructuring reserve of $1,323,000, including severance related to 29 employees. Also, in connection with the restructuring plan, the Company recorded an impairment of property, plant and equipment at the affected facilities of $422,000. Additionally, during fiscal 2007, there was an increase in the restructuring reserve in the amount of $582,000 primarily related to the ratable recognition of retention bonuses for employees providing service until their termination date. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, there was a reduction in the restructuring accrual of $196,000 for costs related to severance that were less than originally estimated. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company made payments of $353,000, primarily related to severance. As of June 30, 2007, the remaining liability of $907,000 was classified as a current liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and will be paid during the remainder of fiscal 2008. The Company expects to incur additional charges related to restructuring costs of approximately $425,000 during the remainder of fiscal 2008.

Selected information relating to the aforementioned restructuring follows (in thousands):

		Termination				Other
		Costs				Costs				Total
Restructuring reserve as of March 31, 2007		$	1,353			$	103			$	1,456
Cash paid — fiscal 2008			(353	)			—				(353	)
Non cash reduction			(196	)			—				(196	)
Restructuring reserve as of June 30, 2007		$	804			$	103			$	907

(5)

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES:

The Company performs the required annual impairment test of the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.

Included in intangible assets, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are the following acquired intangible assets (in thousands):

		June 30,				March 31,
		2007				2007
Tradenames		$	4,290			$	4,290
Non-compete and other, net			23				38
		$	4,313			$	4,328

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $15,000 and $23,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The aggregate estimated amortization expense for intangible assets remaining as of June 30, 2007 is $23,000 in fiscal 2008.

(6)

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

On August 31, 2006, the United States Court of International Trade (“CIT”) denied the Company’s appeal challenging the imposition of antidumping duties on certain tissue paper products imported from China. As described in Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, in the proceedings before the CIT the Company was seeking reversal of the March 2005 final determination of the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) that, in part, resulted in the imposition of such duties. The Company is now contesting the final determination of the ITC in proceedings before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which proceedings were initiated by the Company on October 27, 2006.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized an expense of approximately $2,300,000 for these duties, reflecting the maximum liability of the Company’s Cleo subsidiary for duties relating to subject tissue paper products imported from China during the 2005 fiscal year based on the applicable deposit rates established by the United States Commerce Department. The amount of Cleo’s actual liability for tissue duties pertaining to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, which liability is capped at the deposit rates in effect with respect to the period of time that the subject products were imported by Cleo, will be determined at the time of “liquidation” of the applicable entries by the United States Customs & Border Protection. Liquidation of the applicable entries has been enjoined pending the outcome of the Company’s appeal.

CSS and its subsidiaries are also involved in ordinary, routine legal proceedings that are not considered by management to be material. In the opinion of Company counsel and management, the ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the consolidated financial position of the Company or its results of operations or cash flows.

(7)

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Companies are not allowed to adopt SFAS No. 159 on a retrospective basis unless they choose early adoption. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 159 at the beginning of fiscal 2009 and does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (fiscal 2009 for the Company). The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.

(8)

INCOME TAXES:

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based solely on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on April 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $2,900,000. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in an adjustment to the Company’s April 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. The implementation resulted in a reclassification to increase both deferred taxes and long term obligations in the amount of approximately $700,000. In addition, the Company reclassified $2,100,000 from other current liabilities to long term obligations related to unrecognized tax benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months of June 30, 2007.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at April 1, 2007 were $2,000,000 of tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Also included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at April 1, 2007 were $900,000 of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in an adjustment to deferred taxes.

Consistent with the Company’s historical financial reporting, the Company recognizes potential accrued interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had accrued $700,000 for the estimated payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in an adjustment to its accrual for interest and penalties which is included as a component of the unrecognized tax benefits noted above. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company accrued an additional $33,000 in potential interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Presently, the Company has not been contacted by the Internal Revenue Service for examination of its income tax returns of open periods, March 31, 2005 through March 31, 2007. The Company finalized an examination of its March 31, 2004 federal tax return with the Internal Revenue Service in May of 2006. Although the statute of limitations for the 2004 federal tax return has not yet expired, the Company considers the year to be effectively settled as discussed in FSP FIN 48-1. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently not undergoing audits in any state jurisdiction. A subsidiary of the Company is currently under examination by Hong Kong Inland Revenue for the March 31, 2006 period.

The Company anticipates total unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by approximately $200,000 over the next 12 months due to the expiration of certain state statute of limitations. The Company has classified this amount as short term income taxes payable on its balance sheet as of June 30, 2007.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

STRATEGIC OVERVIEW

Approximately 75% of the Company’s sales are attributable to seasonal (Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter and Halloween) products, with the remainder being attributable to everyday products. Seasonal products are sold primarily to mass market retailers, and the Company has relatively high market shares in many of these categories. Most of these markets have shown little or no growth in recent years, and the Company continues to confront significant cost pressure as its competitors source certain products from overseas and its customers increase direct sourcing from overseas factories. Increasing customer concentration has augmented their bargaining power, which has also contributed to price pressure.

The Company has taken several measures to respond to cost and price pressures. CSS continually invests in product and packaging design and product knowledge to assure it can continue to provide unique added value to its customers. In addition, CSS substantially expanded an office and showroom in Hong Kong to better meet customers’ buying needs and to be able to provide alternatively sourced products at competitive prices. CSS continually evaluates its efficiency and productivity in its North American production and distribution facilities and in its back office operations to maintain its competitiveness domestically. In the last four years, the Company has closed three manufacturing plants and five warehouses totaling 800,000 square feet. Additionally, in fiscal 2007 the Company combined the management and back office support for its Memphis, Tennessee based Cleo gift wrap operation into its Berwick Offray ribbon and bow operation. This action enhanced administrative efficiencies and is expected to provide incremental penetration of gift packaging products into broader everyday channels of distribution.

The Company’s everyday craft, trim-a-package and stationery product lines have higher inherent growth potential due to higher market growth rate. Further, the Company’s everyday craft, trim-a-package, stationery and floral product lines have higher inherent growth potential due to CSS’ relatively low current market share. The Company has established project teams to pursue top line sales growth in these and other areas.

Historically, significant growth at CSS has come through acquisitions. Management anticipates that it will continue to utilize acquisitions to stimulate further growth.

LITIGATION

On August 31, 2006, the United States Court of International Trade (“CIT”) denied the Company’s appeal challenging the imposition of antidumping duties on certain tissue paper products imported from China. As described in Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, in the proceedings before the CIT the Company was seeking reversal of the March 2005 final determination of the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) that, in part, resulted in the imposition of such duties. The Company is now contesting the final determination of the ITC in proceedings before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which proceedings were initiated by the Company on October 27, 2006.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized an expense of approximately $2,300,000 for these duties, reflecting the maximum liability of the Company’s Cleo Inc (“Cleo”) subsidiary for duties relating to subject tissue paper products imported from China during the 2005 fiscal year based on the applicable deposit rates established by the United States Commerce Department. The amount of Cleo’s actual liability for tissue duties pertaining to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, which liability is capped at the deposit rates in effect with respect to the period of time that the subject products were imported by Cleo, will be determined at the time of “liquidation” of the applicable entries by the United States Customs & Border Protection. Liquidation of the applicable entries has been enjoined pending the outcome of the Company’s appeal.

CSS and its subsidiaries are also involved in ordinary, routine legal proceedings that are not considered by management to be material. In the opinion of Company counsel and management, the ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the consolidated financial position of the Company or its results of operations or cash flows.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: revenue; cash flow and valuation assumptions in performing asset impairment tests of long-lived assets and goodwill; valuation reserves for inventory and accounts receivable; income tax accounting; the valuation of share-based awards and resolution of litigation and other proceedings. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies affecting the application of those accounting policies as noted in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Seasonality

The seasonal nature of CSS’ business has historically resulted in lower sales levels and operating losses in the first and fourth quarters and comparatively higher sales levels and operating profits in the second and third quarters of the Company’s fiscal year which ends March 31, thereby causing significant fluctuations in the quarterly results of operations of the Company.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased 2% to $46,802,000 from $47,533,000 in 2006 primarily due to lower sales of educational products and all occasion cards, partially offset by higher sales of Halloween products, Christmas boxed greeting cards and gift wrap.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was 72% in 2007 and 2006. Lower margins achieved on ribbons and bows as a result of the mix of product shipped during the quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior year were offset by improved margins in the gift wrap product line.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 44% in 2007 and 47% in 2006. The decrease in SG&A expenses, as a percentage of sales, was primarily due to lower severance costs and professional fees as well as savings from the restructuring program announced in November.

Interest income of $374,000 in 2007 improved over interest expense of $134,000 in 2006 as a result of the Company’s improved cash position compared to the same quarter in the prior year, net of a lower rate resulting from the Company’s investment in a tax exempt municipal fund in the current year.

Income taxes, as a percentage of income before taxes, were 35% in 2007 and 37% in 2006. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the Company’s investment in a municipal fund during fiscal 2008 that is tax exempt for federal purposes.

The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $4,427,000, or $.41 per diluted share, compared to $5,507,000, or $.52 per diluted share in 2006. The decreased net loss was primarily attributable to lower SG&A costs as described above, favorable interest income and the decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate compared to the same quarter in prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2007, the Company had working capital of $189,839,000 and stockholders’ equity of $257,827,000. The increase in inventories and decrease in cash from March 31, 2007 reflected the normal seasonal inventory build necessary for the fiscal 2008 shipping season. The decrease in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to the first quarter net loss and payment of the quarterly dividend, partially offset by capital contributed upon exercise of employee stock options.

The Company relies primarily on cash generated from its operations and seasonal borrowings to meet its liquidity requirements. Historically, a significant portion of the Company’s revenues are seasonal with approximately 80% of sales recognized in the second and third quarters. As payment for sales of Christmas related products is usually not received until just before or just after the holiday selling season in accordance with general industry practice, short-term borrowing needs increase throughout the second and third quarters, peaking prior to Christmas and dropping thereafter. Seasonal financing requirements are met under a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility with five banks and an accounts receivable securitization facility with an issuer of receivables-backed commercial paper. This facility has a funding limit of $100,000,000 during peak seasonal periods and $25,000,000 during off-peak seasonal periods. In addition, the Company has outstanding $30,000,000 of 4.48% senior notes due ratably in annual $10,000,000 installments through December 2009. These financing facilities are available to fund the Company’s seasonal borrowing needs and to provide the Company with sources of capital for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions as permitted under the revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2007, there was $30,000,000 of long-term borrowings outstanding related to the senior notes and no amounts outstanding under the Company’s short-term credit facilities. In addition, the Company has a minor amount of capital leases outstanding. Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes its sources of available capital are adequate to meet its future cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s letter of credit commitments are as follows (in thousands):

		Less than 1				1-3				4-5				After 5
		Year				Years				Years				Years				Total
Letters of credit		$	3,883			$	—			$	—			$	—			$	3,883

The Company has letters of credit that guarantee funding of workers compensation claims. The Company has no financial guarantees or other arrangements with any third parties or related parties other than its subsidiaries.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into arrangements with vendors to purchase merchandise in advance of expected delivery. These purchase orders do not contain any significant termination payments or other penalties if cancelled.

LABOR RELATIONS

With the exception of the bargaining units at the gift wrap facilities in Memphis, Tennessee and the ribbon manufacturing facilities in Hagerstown, Maryland, which totaled approximately 660 employees as of June 30, 2007, CSS employees are not represented by labor unions. Because of the seasonal nature of certain of its businesses, the number of production employees fluctuates during the year. The collective bargaining agreement with the labor union representing Cleo’s production and maintenance employees at the Cleo gift wrap plant and warehouses in Memphis, Tennessee remains in effect until December 31, 2007. The collective bargaining agreement with the labor union representing the Hagerstown-based production and maintenance employees remains in effect until December 31, 2009.
