Schawk, Inc. Announces That It Has Not Filed Its Quarterly Report or Form 10-Q for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 by the Required Filing Date

DES PLAINES, IL--(Marketwire - August 14, 2007) - Schawk, Inc. (NYSE: SGK), one of the world's leading providers of digital imaging graphic services to the consumer products and brand imaging markets, announced that it has not filed its Quarterly Report or Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2007 by the required filing date because the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 100 ("SAS 100") interim financial statement review by Ernst & Young, LLP, the Company's independent public accountants, has not been completed. The Company has determined that it needs to do further analysis to determine if it is necessary to correct its historical method of capitalizing certain costs in work in process inventory.

The Company's preliminary analysis indicates that it may need to restate its December 31, 2006 balance sheet to reduce inventory by approximately $4 million (from $23.6 million), reduce income taxes payable by approximately $1 million (from $10.2 million), and reduce retained earnings by approximately $3 million (from $113.4 million). The total assets of the Company at December 31, 2006 were $538.2 million. Based on our preliminary analysis, the restatement of work in process inventory is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's income or earnings per share for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the year ended December 31, 2006.

Part of the Company's analysis will include assessing whether or not it may have to restate its 2005 and prior year financial statements. However, because the Company has not yet completed its review of the impact of any required adjustments on prior periods, it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The Company plans to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as soon as possible, following the completion of its review.
