NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(THE INFORMATION FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999 IS
UNAUDITED.)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Pentech International Inc. (the "Company") was formed in April 1984. A
wholly-owned subsidiary, Sawdust Pencil Company ("Sawdust") was formed in
November 1989 and commenced operations in January 1991. The Company and its
subsidiary are engaged in the production, design and marketing of writing and
drawing instruments. The Company primarily operates in one business segment: the
manufacture and marketing of pens, markers, pencils and other writing
instruments and related products to major mass market retailers located in the
United States, under the "Pentech" name or licensed trademark brand. The
Company's business is subject to certain seasonal conditions in which sales tend
to be concentrated in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. The
Company's fiscal year ends September 30.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated.
Cash Overdraft
Any bank overdrafts are included within accounts payable in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Unaudited Financial Statements
The unaudited financial information includes adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position at March 31, 2000 and the results of
operations for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and
cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
Inventory and Cost of Sales
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market (first-in, first-out).
Interim inventories are based on an estimated gross profit percentage by
product, calculated monthly. Cost of sales for imported products includes the
invoice cost, duty, freight in, display and packaging costs. Cost of
domestically manufactured products includes raw materials, labor, overhead and
packaging costs.
Equipment and Depreciation
Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to
ten years. Major improvements to existing equipment are capitalized.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the life of the
assets are charged to expense as incurred.
Trademarks
Costs related to trademarks are being amortized over a five year period on
a straight-line basis.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product to the customer.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value for cash and accounts receivable approximates carrying
amounts due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value for notes
payable approximates carrying amounts due to the variable interest rates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock Based Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation," encourages, but does not require companies to record
compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The
Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise
price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
(Loss) Earnings Per Share

Other Recently Issued Accounting Standard
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" which was amended by the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" and is
effective for years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company has completed its
review of SFAS 133 and has concluded that the adoption of this statement would
not have any effect on the Company and its reporting.

In January 1997, the Company entered into a three year Revolving Credit
Agreement with BankAmerica Business Credit, Inc. now known as Bank of America,
N.A. (BABC) (the "Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are
subject to limitations based upon eligible inventory and accounts receivable as
defined in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue
interest, at the Company's option, at either prime plus .5% or libor plus 2.5%.
In December 1999, the Company and BABC entered into an agreement to renew
the Credit Agreement for an additional three years (the "Renewal"). The Renewal,
among other things, waives compliance with certain financial covenants violated
at September 30, 1999, modifies the financial covenants for the next three
fiscal years, increases the maximum inventory advance and allows for a seasonal
over-advance.
The Renewal is collateralized by a security interest in substantially all
of the assets of the Company. In connection with the Renewal, the Company has
agreed to the maintenance of certain financial covenants and cannot declare a
cash divided without the consent of BABC.

6. PARADISE SETTLEMENT
In Fiscal 1997, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, All-Mark Corporation and Paradise Creations, Inc., (collectively,
"Paradise") providing, among other things, for Pentech to pay $500,000, deliver
a $3,000,000 promissory note plus interest at the rate of 7% per annum (the
"Note") and enter into a five year non-exclusive license to sell such products
for a 10% royalty, with an aggregate minimum royalty of $500,000 (the "Paradise
Settlement"). The Company paid $500,000 at the date of signing in January 1997
and a required payment against the Note of $400,000 in February 1997. In
addition, the Note required $100,000 quarterly principal payments commencing
January 1, 1998. Quarterly principal payments have been made through April 2000.
The Company also paid $400,000 against the minimum royalty.
7. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITY
The value of Fun Cosmetics, Inc. stock (based on quoted market prices) as

unregistered and the Company has recently became aware that Fun has discontinued
active operations, there is no assurance the Company will realize the current
market value.

8. JOINT VENTURE
During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company formed a strategic
partnership with a manufacturer in Shanghai, China with the purpose of
developing and manufacturing both existing products and many of the Company's
new products in development. The terms of the joint venture provide for Pentech
to receive cash for some of its manufacturing equipment and obtain a 50%
ownership in the new entity being formed in China. In addition, there are costs
associated with the relocation of the Company's domestic manufacturing facility.
As of March 31, 2000, the Company has shipped approximately $1,328,000 worth of
equipment and inventory and incurred relocating costs of approximately $787,000.
E-9
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
(1) Material Changes in Results of Operations
Net sales increased in the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 14.3%
and 5.2%, respectively, from the same periods a year ago, primarily due to an
increase in its "Fireworks" line of pens and its children's activity product
line.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased for the three and six
months ended March 31, 2000 to 32.7% and 32% from 33.7% and 32.2%, respectively,
as compared to the same periods a year ago. This was due to the decline in sales
of licensed products for which the Company historically obtained higher gross
margins. In addition, there was an increase in sales from the direct import
program which generate lower gross profit margins.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of
sales for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 increased to 39.4% and
37.9% from 39.2% and 36.1%, respectively, as compared to the same periods a year
ago. This was primarily due to the increase in our sales force as well as an
increase in freight expenses. In addition, there was an increase in advertising
and promotional expenses.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2000, interest expense
decreased as compared to the same periods a year ago. This was due to a lower
outstanding loan balance this year.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2000, the net loss was
$1,576,000, or $.13 per share, and $2,596,000, or $.21 per share, as compared to
a net loss of $813,000, or $.06 per share, and $1,454,000, or $.12 per share,
respectively, for the same prior periods a year ago. The decrease in income was
primarily due to higher SG&A expenses and the plant move expenses.
(2) Material Changes in Financial Condition
In January 1997, the Company entered into a three year $30,000,000
(subsequently amended to $25,000,000) revolving credit facility with BankAmerica
Business Credit Inc., now known as Bank of America, N.A. ("BABC") (the "Credit
Agreement"). The amount of drawings under the facility is subject to limitations
based upon eligible inventory and accounts receivable as described in the Credit
Agreement. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by a security interest in
substantially all of the assets of the Company. In addition, in accordance with
the Credit Agreement, the Company has agreed, among other things, to the
maintenance of certain financial covenants.
In December 1999, the Company and BABC entered into an agreement to renew
the Credit Agreement for an additional three years (the "Renewal"). The Renewal,
among other things, waives compliance with certain financial covenants violated
at September 30, 1999, modifies the financial covenants for the next three
fiscal years, increases the maximum inventory advance and allows for a seasonal
over-advance.
The $3,000,000 note (the "Note") issued in connection with the Paradise
Settlement requires $100,000 quarterly principal payments that commenced January
1, 1998 thru April 1, 2004. Quarterly principal payments were made through April
2000.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company formed a strategic
partnership with a manufacturer in Shanghai, China with the purpose of
developing and manufacturing both existing products and many of the Company's
new products in development. The terms of the joint venture provide for Pentech
to receive cash for some of its manufacturing equipment and obtain a 50%
ownership in the new entity being formed in China. In addition, there are costs
associated with the relocation of the Company's domestic manufacturing facility.
As of March 31, 2000, the Company has shipped approximately $1,328,000 worth of
equipment and inventory and incurred relocation costs of approximately $787,000.
The Company continued several actions to increase its liquidity. It
continued a policy of obtaining thirty to sixty day open credit to finance a
majority of its purchases that historically have been financed pursuant to
letters of credit. It continues to reduce the number of items held in inventory
and has reduced the level of capital expenditures.
E-10
Working capital decreased $2,084,000 to $9,886,000 at March 31, 2000. As a
result of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the Company's
borrowings under the Credit Agreement increases significantly in the months of
May, June, July and August as the Company finances its inventory and
receivables, and declines in September and October after the collections of
receivables from its sales during its seasonally high "Back to School" sales
period. The change in financial position during the six months ended March 31,
2000 reflects primarily this seasonality due to the decrease in receivables from
the collection of its Back-to-School sales and a decline in inventory.
The Company anticipates that borrowings under the Credit Agreement together
with anticipated revenues from operations, will be sufficient to provide
liquidity on both a short-term and long-term basis to finance its future
operations. The Company believes these resources are sufficient to support its
operating expenses.
(3) Safe Harbor Statement
Statements which are not historical facts, including statements about the
Company's confidence and strategies and its expectations about new and existing
products, technologies and opportunities, market and industry segment growth,
demand and acceptance of new and existing products are forward looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. there include, but are not
limited to, product demand and market acceptance risks; the impact of
competitive products and pricing; the results of financing efforts; the loss of
any significant customers of any business; the effect of the Company's
accounting policies; the effects of economic conditions and trade, legal,
social, and economic risks, such as import, licensing, and trade restrictions;
the results of the Company's business plan and the impact on the Company of its
relationship with its lenders.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in
financial and commodity market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk
in the areas of changes in United States and international borrowing rates and
changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we are exposed to
market risk in certain geographic areas that have experienced or remain
vulnerable to an economic downturn, such as China. We purchase substantially all
of our inventory from companies in China, and therefore, we are subject to the
risk that such suppliers will be unable to provide inventory at competitive
prices. While we believe that, if such an event were to occur we would be able
to find alternative sources of inventory at competitive prices, we cannot assure
you that we would be able to do so. These exposures are directly related to our
normal operating and funding activities. Historically and as of September 30,
1999, we have not used derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities
to minimize our market risk.
