NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited and have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the
opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a
normal and recurring nature), which are necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods. Operating results for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year or for future periods. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report to
Shareholders and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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 periods.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. MAJOR CUSTOMERS:
During the second quarter and first six months of 2003, one customer accounted
for 25% and 16%, respectively, of the Company's total net sales. During the
second quarter and first six months of 2002, the same customer accounted for 27%
and 22%, respectively, of the Company's total net sales.

Excluded in the computation of diluted income per common share were options and
warrants to purchase 7,373,512 and 534,000 shares of common stock, which were
outstanding at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, because the option and
warrant exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common
shares.

5. INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES:
The Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.2 million for its investment in a
portable trade show exhibit manufacturer in the first quarter of 2002. No income
tax benefit was recorded in connection with this capital loss.
During the first quarter of 2002 the Company also recorded a valuation allowance
of $191,000 against a deferred tax asset associated with a capital loss, which
resulted from the write-off of an investment in an affiliate located in the
United Kingdom. Management has concluded that the Company will most likely not
be able to generate capital gains in the next two years that would be sufficient
to realize the tax benefit from this capital loss.
6. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE (ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 142):
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142), which
eliminates amortization of these assets and requires annual testing for
impairment. The Company's reporting units for purposes of applying the
provisions of SFAS 142 are the DMS Store Fixtures business ("DMS") and the
Sparks Exhibits & Environments businesses ("Sparks"). SFAS 142 requires a
comparison of the reporting unit's fair value, which is determined based on
discounted cash flows, to its carrying value to determine potential impairment.
If the fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is
recognized. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $12.4 million in the
first quarter of 2002 in connection with the adoption of SFAS 142.
7. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal
Activities" ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the
recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and
disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently
accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") has set forth in 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)." Effective in the first
quarter of 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 146. Although
adoption by the Company had no impact on its results of operations or financial
position during the first half of the year, it is expected to impact the timing
and recognition of costs associated with the Company's plans for future exit or
disposal activities (see Note 9). Accordingly, the Company will evaluate the
impact of SFAS 146 on its financial statements.

MARLTON TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46") FIN 46 clarifies the application of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to
certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a
controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the
entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support from other parties. The initial recognition provisions of FIN 46 are
applicable immediately to new variable interests in variable interest entities
created after January 31, 2003. For a variable interest in a variable interest
entity created before February 1, 2003, the initial recognition provisions of
FIN 46 are to be implemented no later than the beginning of the first interim or
annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003, which are applicable in
the Company's third quarter ended September 30, 2003. The Company will continue
to evaluate the impact of FIN 46 on its financial statements.
8. TERMINATED MERGER AGREEMENT:
The Company and Redwood Acquisition Corp.("Redwood") entered into a merger
agreement in February 2003 pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company (other than the shares held by approximately eight
shareholders) would be converted into the right to receive $0.30 per share. On
June 19, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved a termination proposal
submitted by Redwood, which terminated the proposed merger agreement with
Redwood. Costs of approximately $200,000 incurred in connection with this
proposed merger agreement were charged to administrative and general expenses in
the second quarter of 2003.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
On August 1, 2003, a Company subsidiary acquired the assets of Exhibit Crafts,
Inc., a Los Angeles, CA area manufacturer of trade show exhibits and a 20%
interest in International Exposition Services, Inc., a trade show shipping and
installation provider. The initial purchase price is $250,000, 20% of the
subsidiary's common stock as well as the assumption of certain liabilities
totaling approximately $0.4 million. In addition, the asset purchase agreement
includes contingent payments of up to $750,000 based on operating performance in
2004, 2005 and 2006. The Company plans to relocate its San Diego area
manufacturing facility to the Los Angeles, CA area facility during the second
half of 2003. Expected costs in connection with this relocation and
consolidation are approximately $500,000. In addition, the Company is attempting
to sublet or terminate the lease for its San Diego area manufacturing facility.
The total net future lease payments for this facility are $2.5 million.

------- -------- -----
Total sales $37,321 $38,214 (2)%
======= ======== =====
Total net sales of $19.9 million for the second quarter of 2003 decreased 7%
below the second quarter of 2002, and total net sales $37.3 million for the
first six months of 2003 decreased 2% from the same prior year period. The
second quarter decrease was principally attributable to lower sales of trade
show exhibits and related services, which decreased 9% below comparable sales
for the second quarter of 2002. Lower sales of trade show exhibits for the
second quarter were largely the result of reductions in certain customers' trade
show marketing budgets in response to a slower economy. The loss of a trade show
exhibit client also accounted for a portion of this decrease. The sales decrease
for the first six months of 2003 was primarily due to lower sales of store
fixtures in the first quarter of 2003 to a national retail customer.
Operating Profit
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, improved to 23.2% in the second
quarter and to 24.1% for the first six months of 2003 from 20.2% and 22.2% in
the respective prior year periods. These improvements were due, in large part,
to higher gross profit margins generated from sales of store fixtures as well as
to cost reduction and profit improvement initiatives implemented in the second
half of 2002.
Selling expenses were essentially unchanged in the second quarter of 2003 and
increased $158,000 to $4.5 million in the first six months of 2003 as compared
with the same prior year periods. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses
increased to 11.3% and 12.2% in the second quarter and first half of 2003,
respectively, from 10.2% and 11.5% for the comparable 2002 periods. The
percentage increase was principally attributable to fixed marketing expenses
such as salaries and sales office rent expense as compared with the lower sales
volume.
Administrative and general expenses were essentially unchanged in the second
quarter and first half periods of 2003 as compared with same prior year periods.
Costs of approximately $200,000 related to the terminated merger transaction
discussed below incurred in the second quarter of 2003 were offset by lower bad
debt expense and cost reduction initiatives.
8
Operating profit increased to $355,000 in the second quarter of 2003 from
$173,000 in the second quarter of 2002 and to $813,000 for the first half of
2003 from $393,000 in the same prior year period. These improvements were
primarily due to higher gross profit margins realized in 2003.
Other Income/(Expense)
Interest expense was reduced to $65,000 and to $111,000 in the second quarter
and first six months of 2003, respectively, from $162,000 and $277,000 in the
comparable 2002 periods. These reductions were due, in part, to lower interest
rates.
A loss of $1.2 million from investments in affiliates was recorded in the first
quarter of 2002 to write down the Company's investment in a portable trade show
exhibit manufacturer.
Net Income/(Loss) Before Change in Accounting Principle
Net income of $295,000 before change in accounting principle for the second
quarter of 2003 increased from $75,000 reported for same prior year period as a
result of higher operating profit and lower interest costs. For the first six
months of 2003, net income of $711,000 before change in accounting principle
improved from a net loss of $947,000 for the comparable period of 2002. Higher
operating profit in 2003 and the 2002 write down of the investment in affiliate
largely accounted for the increase for the six month period.
Provision for Income Taxes
In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company established a valuation allowance for
deferred income tax assets. As a result, the Company has not recorded current
period income tax expense in 2003.
In the first quarter of 2002, the Company did not recognize an income tax
benefit from the $1.2 million impairment loss from investments in affiliates
because this capital loss was not expected to be offset by capital gains within
the required statutory period. The provision for income taxes of $261,000
recorded in the first quarter of 2002 also included a valuation allowance of
$191,000 related to a 1999 capital loss incurred in connection with the
Company's investment in a United Kingdom affiliate.
Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change
The Company recorded an impairment loss of $12.4 million in the first quarter of
2002 in connection with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
Backlog
The Company's backlog of orders was approximately $18 million at June 30, 2003
and $17 million at June 30, 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital decreased to $836,000 at June 30, 2003 from $3.5
million at December 31, 2002. This decrease was principally attributable to
reclassification of $4.5 million from long-term debt to the current portion of
long-term debt related to the Company's bank credit facility which expires May
16, 2004. The Company is evaluating alternatives to replace or renew its
existing credit facility prior to its expiration. Accounts receivable increased
to $10.6 million at June 30, 2003 from $8.1 million at December 31, 2002
primarily as a result of timing of store fixtures shipments
9
The Company has lease commitments for several facilities under non-cancelable
operating leases. Timing of future lease commitments as well as maturities of
long-term debt are as follows:
(In thousands)
2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 After 2007

Lease commitments $985 $1,796 $1,737 $1,166 $771 $1,060
Debt maturities 35 4,500 -- -- -- --
The Company leases a facility from a partnership controlled by two shareholders
of the Company. This lease, which expires on May 14, 2019, requires minimum
annual rent of $771,000 at a fixed rate for the first 10 years, and the Company
is responsible for taxes, insurance and other operating expenses. The Company
has the option to terminate this lease in 2009 subject to the landlord's ability
to relet or sell the premises at minimum specified values.
OUTLOOK
The Company expects sales to decrease in 2003 from 2002 levels. In view of
current economic conditions, the Company's trade show exhibit client base of
Fortune 1000 companies is expected to closely manage their marketing expense
budgets, which would inhibit trade show exhibit sales and profit margins. The
Company continues to explore new sales opportunities while pursuing operating
efficiency improvements and cost reduction initiatives to mitigate the impact of
lower sales volume.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Company and Redwood Acquisition Corp.("Redwood") entered into a merger
agreement in February 2003 pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company (other than the shares held by approximately eight
shareholders) would be converted into the right to receive $0.30 per share. On
June 19, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved a termination proposal
submitted by Redwood, which terminated the proposed merger agreement with
Redwood. Costs of approximately $200,000 incurred in connection with this
proposed merger agreement were charged to administrative and general expenses in
the second quarter of 2003.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal
Activities" ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the
recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and

adoption by the Company had no impact on its results of operations or financial
position during the first half of the year, it is expected to impact the timing
and recognition of costs associated with the Company's plans for future exit or
disposal activities (see Note 9). Accordingly, the Company will evaluate the
impact of SFAS 146 on its financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's revolving credit facility bears a floating rate of interest, based
on LIBOR rates, plus an applicable spread. The Company had borrowings of $4.5
million from its revolving credit facility at June 30, 2003.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates do not significantly affect the
Company's financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The Company established a Disclosure Committee chaired by the
Company's Chief Financial Officer and comprised of managers
representing the Company's major areas, including financial
reporting and control, sales, operations and information
technology. This Committee carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures, and established ongoing procedures to monitor and
evaluate these controls and procedures in the future. Based upon
that evaluation, within the 90 days prior to the date of this
report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material
information relating to the Company (including its consolidated
subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic
SEC filings.
(b) Changes in internal controls
There were no significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that would significantly affect these
controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
