(Nasdaq: CPAK), a manufacturer and marketer with holdings in the Cleaning & Personal Care and Imaging industries, today issued guidance for its fiscal fourth quarter ended March 31, 2006. The annual audit is currently in process and detailed results for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 are expected to be released upon completion of the audit, in mid-June.

Company officials announced that net income for the fiscal fourth quarter is expected to be in the range of $0.14 to $0.18 per diluted share, versus a fourth quarter loss in fiscal 2005 of ($0.81) per diluted share.

Management noted Imaging segment sales gains in excess of 5% for the quarter, resulting primarily from the worldwide consolidation taking place in the traditional Imaging industry, particularly in foreign markets. These gains contributed to the increase in estimated profits. Gross margins have shown improvement in both the Imaging and Fuller Brands segments, while Selling, Administrative and Engineering expenses in both segments have been reduced as a result of cost cutting programs and organizational changes made over the past two years. In Fuller Brands, new customer contracts within the Cleaning Technologies Group have also improved profitability.
