Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial ------ Condition and Results of Operations ----------------------------------- The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in Item 8 of this Report. General ------- On October 3, 1990, the Company, through its Preston subsidiary, completed the acquisition of the assets of the Preston Engravers' division of Quincy Technologies Inc. for $1,561,000. Subsequent to the year ended June 30, 1993, Preston sold on August 27, 1993, substantially all of its assets and certain of its liabilities to Roto-Die. See "Item 1 - Business" and Note A to Consolidated Financial Statements. Results of Operations --------------------- Fiscal 2001 compared to Fiscal 2000 ----------------------------------- Corporate expenses of $80,000 increased by $43,000 over fiscal 2000 as a result of the annual meeting expenses incurred. Fiscal 2000 compared to Fiscal 1999 ----------------------------------- Corporate expenses of $37,000 decreased by $ 2,000 over fiscal 1999 as a result of lower state and state franchise taxes. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- During fiscal 2001, the company had a negative cash flow of $47,000 as a result of the Net Loss of $ 80,000 and an increase in Current Assets. This was partially offset by a $20,000 investment by Palisades Investors LLC ("Palisades")of Fort Lee, New Jersey at $.025 per share of the Company's Common Stock and by the sale of $20,000 of the Company's Common stock to the Chairman of the Board of Directors at $.025 per share. The Company intends to continue its search for potential business opportunities and it believes it has sufficient assets to continue such a search. Under the arrangement with Palisades, Palisades has the right to designate two (2) Directors, which Palisades has not done. In addition, certain registration rights have been granted to Palisades and to Mr. Russell Banks in connection with the shares issued for their investment. The Company currently engages in no operating activities. 6 Effect of Year 2000 Issue ------------------------- The Company completed the conversion of its computer system in July of 1999 at a cost of approximately $ 2,000.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of GVC Venture Corp. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/Ernst & Young LLP New York, New York August 31, 2001 8
