                  DONNELLEY ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS INCORPORATED

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations

  Donnelley Business Services ("DBS") was an unincorporated business unit of
R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company ("R.R. Donnelley") from its organization in 1988
through December 31, 1995. On June 21, 1995, R.R. Donnelley acquired LANSystems,
Inc. ("LANSystems") in a business combination accounted for as a purchase.
Following the acquisition, LANSystems was a wholly owned subsidiary of R.R.
Donnelley and was operated together with DBS. Effective January 1, 1996, R.R.
Donnelley contributed the assets and liabilities of DBS to LANSystems and
LANSystems changed its name to Donnelley Enterprise Solutions Incorporated (the
"Company" or "DESI").

  On November 5, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
2,860,000 shares of Common Stock (the "IPO" or "Offering"), 1,855,000 of
which were sold by the Company, and 1,005,000 of which were sold by R.R.
Donnelley. Of the $41.7 million of net proceeds to the Company from the IPO, (1)
approximately $8.7 million was used in final payment for certain contingent
obligations arising from the acquisition of LANSystems, (2) $20.3 million was
used in repayment of advances owed R.R. Donnelley, and (3) approximately $8.1
million was used in repayment of the $8.0 million Dividend Note and accrued
interest. The remaining $4.6 million was used for general corporate purposes.

  The Company is a single-source provider of integrated information management
services to professional service providers, primarily large law firms,
investment banking firms and accounting firms. The Company operates entirely
within the information management services segment. Within this segment, the
Company offers two general categories of services: business services outsourcing
and information technology services. The Company's business services outsourcing
offerings include document services, such as reprographic, networked and color
printing, mailroom and facsimile services; word processing and desktop
publishing; and imaging. The Company's information technology services include
systems integration, consulting, software development and systems management
outsourcing.


Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Carve-Out

  The financial statements included herein are unaudited and have been prepared
by the Company to conform with the requirements applicable to this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted as permitted by such requirements.
However, the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with the accounting
principles reflected in the financial statements and related notes in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

  Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data appearing in this
Form 10-Q reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows
of the Company on a carve-out basis and are derived from the historical
consolidated financial statements and financial data of the Company. The
consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect certain expenses
and liabilities incurred by R.R. Donnelley on behalf of the Company. The Company
believes that the assumptions underlying all such adjustments are reasonable;
however, the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily reflect the
expenses and liabilities that would have been incurred by the Company operating
as a stand alone entity.

  The Company has entered into certain agreements pursuant to which R.R.
Donnelley or its affiliates have agreed to perform certain legal, tax, data
processing, risk management, employee benefit, credit and collection, cash
management, banking and accounts payable services for the Company. The Company
is charged fees and expenses for these services, but retains the right to
terminate certain services provided under the agreements upon 30 days notice.

  The interim financial statements herein reflect, in the opinion of the
Company, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial information for the periods presented. Certain items in prior periods
have been

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
reclassified to conform with current period classifications. The 1997 interim
results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the remainder of the year.


Note 3. Earnings Per Share

  Earnings per share is determined by dividing the net income by the weighted
average shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of unexercised
stock options has not been included in the calculation as the effect would not
be material. The pro forma earnings per share calculation for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996 does not reflect the actual weighted average shares
outstanding during the period, but assumes the 5,000,000 common shares
outstanding upon the completion of the Offering and the 5,000 restricted common
shares issued to a key executive were outstanding for the period.


Note 4. Credit Agreement

  The Company entered into a $22.0 million credit agreement with Harris Trust
and Savings Bank on October 30, 1996. The credit agreement is used in
conjunction with cash flows from operations to fund ongoing operations, seasonal
cash needs and for continued growth and investment.


Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

  The Company is party to certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse
effect on the operations or financial position of the Company. A former client
filed suit against the Company in 1996 and the Company filed a counterclaim in
1997. The Company is of the opinion that the claim and the related counterclaim
will not have a material impact on the results of operations of the Company in
the period in which resolved.


Note 6. New Accounting Pronouncement

  In February of 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128") was issued. FAS 128 simplifies the standards
for computing earnings per share. FAS 128 is effective for financial statements
issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods.
FAS 128 requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. Management
believes the adoption of FAS 128 in the fourth quarter will not have a material
impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

General

 Overview

  The Company is a single-source provider of integrated information management
services to professional service organizations, primarily large law firms,
investment banks and accounting firms. DESI offers its clients the opportunity
to focus on their core businesses by outsourcing a variety of functions,
including business services and information technology services. The Company has
experienced substantial growth by expanding its service offerings, adding new
clients, increasing business with its existing clients, and capitalizing on the
growing trend toward outsourcing. In the three months ended June 30, 1997, the
Company's revenues from business services outsourcing and information technology
services were $17.2 million and $11.5 million, respectively, compared to $13.6
million for business services outsourcing and $11.2 million from information
technology services for the same period of 1996. In the six months ended June
30, 1997, the Company's revenues from business services outsourcing and
information technology services were $33.6 million and $22.2 million,
respectively, compared to $26.4 million for business services outsourcing and
$18.8 million from information technology services for the same period of 1996.

  DESI commenced its outsourcing operations in 1988 as a provider of
reprographic services and has expanded its service offerings to include
networked and electronic color printing, mailroom and facsimile services, word
processing, desktop publishing and imaging. In June 1995, the Company broadened
its capabilities from managing paper-based information to include the management
of electronic information through the acquisition of LANSystems, which has
provided information technology services, including systems integration,
consulting and software development, since 1983. In February 1996, the Company
began providing systems management outsourcing services.

  The Company's revenues are derived primarily from (i) monthly fees under its
business services outsourcing contracts, (ii) fees relating to both information
technology and technical training projects, (iii) the resale of hardware or
software products, (iv) monthly fees under its system management outsourcing
contracts, and (v) monthly fees under information technology maintenance
contracts. The Company typically enters into contracts with its business
services clients that have terms ranging from three to five years. These
contracts generally provide for monthly minimum payments based on the client's
historical volumes. Substantially all of the Company's business services
outsourcing contracts are priced on a per unit basis for each service provided
and allow for annual increases or decreases of the unit pricing for each of the
outsourcing services provided in order to reflect actual costs of labor,
equipment and supplies. System management contracts are priced on a monthly
fixed fee basis, plus a fee for overtime and additional services. The majority
of the Company's other information technology projects are priced on a fixed-fee
basis, although some work is contracted on a time-and-materials basis. Contracts
for information technology projects typically include scope of work and
acceptance criteria for identifying project completion. The Company typically
seeks to obtain an increase in its fees if a client makes any significant change
to the original scope of a project. Payment terms for these contracts include a
down payment, and invoices are submitted in accordance with the achievement of
negotiated milestones or dates during the projects.

  Increased penetration in the Company's target markets is a key element in its
growth strategy. Cross-selling within the Company's existing client base
resulted in two new systems management outsourcing engagements in the second
quarter of 1997. Information technology services revenue growth is due in part
to several large scale implementations of Windows NT in both the legal and
investment banking markets. The Company expects to continue to capitalize on the
marketplaces' migration from Netware to Windows NT.

  The Company's strategy to focus on higher margin technology-related services
continues to drive a change in the Company's revenue mix, resulting in an
increase in technology services related revenues that typically generate a
higher margin. This change has resulted in a decline in the percentage of
Information Technology revenues associated with the resale of hardware or
software products, generally associated with a typical information technology
project. Product sales were 34% and 36% of total information technology revenues
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to 58% and 50% for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996. The Company provides products to
its clients only as an accommodation and generally as required for particular
projects. The Company's maintenance contracts are priced on an annual basis with
payments generally made in advance. The Company's systems management contracts
are provided over multi-year terms, and invoiced on a monthly basis.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
  DESI's cost of revenues associated with business services outsourcing are
comprised of wages, supplies, equipment, research and development and start-up
costs; its cost of revenues associated with systems management revenues are
comprised of wages, start-up costs and equipment; and its cost of revenues
associated with other information technology services are comprised of computer
equipment and software, labor costs, an overhead allocation and purchasing
expenses. The Company's gross profit margins on its information technology
services generally are higher than those associated with its business services
outsourcing. The Company's margins on resold products are lower than those for
business services outsourcing and information technology services.

  DESI's selling expenses, included in selling, general and administrative
expenses, are comprised of sales and support salaries, commissions, travel and
entertainment. Selling expenses as a percentage of revenues for information
technology services are significantly higher than for business services
outsourcing due to the long-term nature of DESI's business services outsourcing
contracts.

  DESI's research and development activities, included in selling, general and
administrative expenses, consist of software and hardware product evaluation,
trial integration of purchased hardware and software, user productivity
benchmarking and the development of custom integration software.

  The Company's results of operations are sensitive to the state of the U.S.
professional service economy, particularly as it affects the Company's target
markets. The volume of services provided by the Company generally are lower in
periods in which activities of the Company's clients are reduced by economic or
other factors. The resulting decline in the Company's revenues from a particular
client affects the Company's net income because a large percentage of the
Company's costs are fixed, although this effect historically has been more than
offset by a growth in revenues from other clients. In addition, clients have
imposed pricing pressures on the Company during periods in which their
activities are reduced because of their own reduced levels of profitability,
thereby adversely affecting the Company's gross margins and results of
operations. Again, these pricing pressures have been offset by a growth in
revenues and the Company's ability to attract new clients who desire to reduce
their expenses by outsourcing certain services to the Company.


 Initial Public Offering

  On November 5, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
2,860,000 shares of Common Stock (the "IPO"), 1,855,000 of which were sold by
the Company, and 1,005,000 of which were sold by R.R. Donnelley. Prior to the
IPO, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of R.R. Donnelley. Of the $41.7
million of net proceeds to the Company from the IPO (1) approximately $8.7
million was used in final payment for certain contingent obligations arising
from the acquisition of LANSystems, Inc. (2) $20.3 million was used in repayment
of advances owed R.R. Donnelley, and (3) approximately $8.1 million was used in
repayment of the $8.0 million Dividend Note and accrued interest. The remaining
$4.6 million was used for general corporate purposes.

  As a result of the IPO, the number of shares of common stock outstanding
increased to 5,005,000 shares (including 5,000 of restricted shares granted to a
key executive) from the 3,145,000 shares outstanding prior to the IPO and total
equity increased to approximately $50 million.


 Relationship with R.R. Donnelley

  Prior to the Offering, DESI operated as a separate business within R.R.
Donnelley. It had relied on R.R. Donnelley for its financing needs and for a
number of support services, including legal, tax, collections, insurance,
benefits administration, data processing and payroll. The Company has entered
into certain agreements pursuant to which R.R. Donnelley or its affiliates have
agreed to perform certain legal, tax, data processing, risk management, credit
and collection, cash management, banking and accounts payable services for the
Company. See Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The
Company is charged fees and expenses for these services, but retains the right
to terminate certain services provided under the agreements upon 30 days notice.

  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had advances payable to R.R. Donnelley
totaling approximately $2.9 million, which includes both the fees related to and
amounts funded by R.R. Donnelley on behalf of the Company as specified in the
transition services agreement.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
  The consolidated 1996 financial statements reflect the results of operations,
financial position and cash flows of the Company on a carve-out basis; that is,
the financial statements have been adjusted to reflect certain expenses and
liabilities incurred by R.R. Donnelley on behalf of the Company. The Company
believes that the assumptions underlying all such adjustments are reasonable;
however, such consolidated financial statements do not necessarily reflect the
results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company had the
Company operated as a separate entity during the periods presented. Income taxes
reflected in such consolidated financial statements through the closing of the
IPO were determined as if the Company had filed a separate return.


 Acquisition of LANSystems

  LANSystems was acquired on June 21, 1995 for cash of approximately $16.6
million and certain contingent payment obligations. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase, with the excess of the purchase price over the fair
market value of net assets acquired being allocated to goodwill in the amount of
approximately $11.8 million. The goodwill is being amortized over its estimated
useful life of 20 years. LANSystems was acquired by R.R. Donnelley and, as such,
the Company was not required to provide cash for the acquisition. The earnout
provisions resulted in contingent payments in 1996 of $9.5 million to former
LANSystems shareholders and management participants. Payments made to the
recipients of the contingent payments have been treated as additional purchase
price for LANSystems, resulting in an increase in goodwill of approximately $9.5
million, which is being amortized over the remaining useful life (approximately
19 years).

 Three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to three months ended June 30, 1996

  Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 totaled $28.7 million, an
increase of 15.9% over 1996 revenues for the same period of $24.8 million. This
$3.9 million increase was comprised of a $3.6 million, or 26.5%, increase in
business services outsourcing revenues and a $.3 million increase, or 3%,
increase in information technology services revenue. Business services
outsourcing revenue growth was due to a $2.7 million increase in revenues from
new clients and a $.9 million increase in revenues from existing clients.

  During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's cost of revenues of
$21.7 million decreased as a percentage of revenues from 76.6% for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 to 75.4% in 1997. This decrease occurred as a 
result of an increase in the business services outsourcing margins, offset 
by a decrease in information technology services margins. Business services
outsourcing margins increased as a result of increased revenues in the 
higher margin

services of imaging and networked color printing. Information technology
services margins decreased primarily as a result of the impact of hiring new
engineers, some of whom were not billable through part of the three months ended
June 30, 1997.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million, or 30.1%,
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and as a percentage of revenues,
increased to 19.3% in the second quarter of 1997 from 17.2% in 1996. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 was primarily due to increased investment in administrative
systems necessary to operate as an independent public company. These
investments, which are substantially complete, have been made in a new financial
system, a common technology platform and in the consolidation of the accounting
function. These investments are expected to be fully completed by the end of 
the year.

  During the three months ended June 30, 1997, amortization of goodwill
increased 69.0% to $267,000, compared to the corresponding period in 1996. This
increase is due to additional goodwill recorded for certain contingent
obligations arising from the acquisition of LANSystems.

  The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 50.4% in the three months
ending June 30, 1997 from 47.5% in 1996. The effective tax rate exceeds the U.S.
federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of nondeductible goodwill
amortization and state taxes.

  Net income decreased $0.1 million to $0.6 million in the second quarter of
1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996 as a result of the foregoing
factors.

 Six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to six months ended June 30, 1996

  Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 totaled $55.8 million, an
increase of 23.3% over 1996 revenues for the same period of $45.2 million. This
$10.5 million increase was comprised of a $7.1 million, or 27.0%, increase in
business services outsourcing revenues and a $3.4 million, or 18.1%, increase
attributable to information technology services. Business services outsourcing
growth was due to a $5.1 million increase in revenues from new clients and a
$2.0 million increase in revenues from existing clients. Information technology
services growth of $3.4 million was due to a $2.1 million increase from systems 
management and a $1.3 million increase from LANSystems. Systems management 
growth of $2.1 million was due to a $1.8 million increase in revenues from new 
clients and a $.3 million increase in revenues from existing clients.

  For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's cost of revenues of
$42.8 million decreased as a percentage of revenues from 77.2% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 to 76.8% in 1997.  This decrease occurred because of
an increase in the business services outsourcing margins, offset by a decrease
in the information technology services margins. Business services outsourcing
margins increased as a result of increased revenues in the higher margin
services of imaging and networked color printing. Information technology
services margins decreased primarily as a result of the impact of hiring new
engineers, most of whom were not billable through part of the six months ended
June 30, 1997.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 from the same period in 1996, and as a percentage
of revenue to 19.2% from 18.9% in 1996.   The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was primarily due
to increased investment in administrative systems necessary to operate as an
independent public company. These investments, which are substantially complete,
have been made in a new financial system, a common technology platform and the
consolidation of the accounting function. These investments are expected to be
fully completed by the end of the year.

  During the six months ended June 30, 1997, amortization of goodwill increased
73.9% to $532,000, compared to the corresponding period in 1996.  This increase
is due to additional goodwill recorded for certain contingent obligations
arising from the acquisition of LANSystems.

  The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 50% in the first six
months of 1997 from 53.4% in 1996. The effective tax rate exceeds the U.S.
federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of nondeductible goodwill
amortization and state taxes.

  Net income increased $0.2 million to $0.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996 as a result of the
foregoing factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

                                       9

  Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company funded its operations, capital
expenditures and acquisitions through cash flows from operations, amounts
advanced interest-free from R.R. Donnelley and the sale of its business services
outsourcing accounts receivable to a subsidiary of R.R. Donnelley. These
receivables were sold without recourse and the Company was not charged any
factoring cost. The arrangement pursuant to which the Company sold such
receivables to a subsidiary of R.R. Donnelley was terminated on December 16,
1996.

  On November 6, 1996, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") with Harris Trust and Savings Bank (the "Bank") under which it is
entitled to borrow up to $22.0 million on a revolving credit basis. Borrowings
under the Credit Agreement will mature in three years and will bear interest (i)
at the prime rate announced by the Bank or (ii) at the applicable LIBOR rate
plus, depending on the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio, up to 125 basis
points per annum. In addition, the Company will pay a commitment fee of 20 to 30
basis points per annum, depending on its fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit
Agreement contains customary financial and other covenants, including
requirements to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth, a minimum fixed
charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio, and restrictions on liens,
investments, dividends, indebtedness, acquisitions and transactions with
affiliates. The Company has historically not paid interest with respect to the
advances it received from R.R. Donnelley. The Company's interest expense will
increase as the Company borrows under the Credit Agreement. At June 30, 1997,
the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants and there were $12.0
million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

  The Company had net usage of cash from operations of $8.9 million during the
six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to cash used by operations of $9.1
million in 1996. The decreased usage in 1997 was primarily due to an increase in
net income and depreciation offset by a decrease in the net change in assets and
liabilities. The decrease in the net change in assets and liabilities was
primarily due to improved management of inventories and payables as well as an
increase in deferred revenues more than offset by an increase in receivables of
$11.2 million. This increase is due to a number of factors, including the
termination of the factoring arrangement with R.R. Donnelley and delays in
billing and collection functions at LANSystems. These LANSystems functions were
delayed because of the implementation of new systems at LANSystems, the
implementation of the Company's new financial management and accounting system,
and the centralization of the Company's accounting function. The Company
anticipates that days outstanding in receivables will decrease in the third and
fourth quarters of 1997.

  Capital expenditures increased $2.3 million to $4.4 million in the first six
months of 1997 from $2.1 million in 1996, primarily due to new client site
start-ups and investment in the Company's financial and operating management
system that is being implemented. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the
Company had $7.9 million of cash provided by financing activities, primarily
from the Credit Agreement offset by a reduction in Advances from Related Party.

  For the six months ended June 30, 1997 operating cash flow (earnings from
operations plus depreciation and amortization) was $4.8 million, up from $3.8
million for the corresponding period in 1996. The Company believes cash flows
from operations and the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund, during the
term of the Credit Agreement, its ongoing operations, continued growth and
investment, including acquisitions.
