     Inventories at April 30, 1994 and July 31, 1993 were as follows:

     Certain inventories are stated on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis
     for their labor and material content, and other inventories are stated
     on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

     Because the inventory determination under the LIFO method can only be
     made at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and
     costs at that time, interim period LIFO determinations must necessarily
     be based upon management's estimates of expected year-end inventory
     levels and costs.

Note 2 - Stock Options

     As of April 30, 1994, options to purchase 293,476 shares of common stock
     were outstanding and 1,256,836 shares of common stock were available for
     future grants under the Company's Stock Option and Employee Stock
     Purchase Plans.

     The Company has authorized 50,000,000 shares of common stock and has
     issued 22,796,176.  Of these shares, 986,780 have been repurchased and
     467,815 have been reissued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and
     through the exercise of stock options.  The number of shares held in
     treasury at April 30, 1994 is 518,965.  At July 31, 1993,  22,796,176
     shares had been issued of which 986,780 had been repurchased and 251,741
     have been reissued.  The number of shares held in treasury at July 31,
     1993 was 735,039.

Note 3 - Interest Income/Interest Expense

     Interest income and expense have been revised to reflect the netting
     of capitalized interest against interest expense.

Note 4 - Income Taxes

     As a result of the Omnibus Tax Act of 1993, the Company's fiscal 1994
     effective tax rate will be higher than last year.

Note 5 - Extraordinary Items - Changes in Accounting

     Post-Retirement Benefits:  In the first quarter ended October 31, 1993,
     the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106
     (SFAS 106), "Employers' Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other
     than Pensions."  SFAS 106 requires companies to accrue the

         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
                             April 30, 1994
                              (Unaudited)

     estimated cost of retiree benefit payments, other than pensions, during
     employees' active service periods.  Previously, the cost of these
     benefits, which are principally health care, were expensed when claims
     were paid.  The one-time charge, recognized in the first quarter, was
     $5,730,000 before deferred income tax benefit ($3,667,000 after-tax).
     This adjustment represents the cumulative effect of the change in
     accounting for the years prior to our current fiscal year (fiscal year
     ended July 31, 1994).  The annual expense under the new accrual method
     of accounting is $431,000, which represents $40,000 for service cost,
     and $391,000 for interest cost, before deferred income tax benefit.

     The liability (included in Deferred Compensation and Retirement
     Benefits on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet) for post-
     retirement benefits, as of August 1, 1993 is:

<TABLE>

       Actuarial present value of benefit obligations:
          Retirees                                      $3,314,000
          Fully eligible active plan participants        1,540,000
          Other active plan participants                   876,000
                                                        ----------
                                                        $5,730,000
                                                        ----------
                                                        ----------
</TABLE>

     For financial reporting purposes, the actuarial computations assumed a
     discount rate to determine the accumulated post-retirement benefit
     obligation of 7.0%, and an assumed health care cost trend rate to
     measure the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation of 12.35%
     initially, declining gradually to 5.00% in 2017.  However, a one
     percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost trend would
     increase the annual post-retirement benefit expense by $50,000 (service
     cost of $7,000 and interest cost of $43,000) and the post-retirement
     benefit obligation as of August 1, 1993 by $613,000.

     Income Taxes:  Also in the first quarter, the Company adopted Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for
     Income Taxes."  SFAS 109 requires companies to apply current statutory
     income tax rates to deferred assets and liabilities arising from
     differences in financial reporting and tax reporting basis.  The
     company recognized the cumulative effect of such differences in the
     current quarter resulting in noncash income of $3,955,000.

     As of August 1, 1993, after having given effect to SFAS 109, the
     Company had recorded the following net deferred tax liabilities:

           Net deferred tax liabilities              $23,184,000

                                                     -----------
</TABLE>

     The major portion of the deferred tax liabilities relates to
     accelerated depreciation of $29,478,000.  The major types of deferred
     tax assets relate to the following items:  deferred compensation of
     $2,651,000, post-retirement benefits of $2,259,000, and inventory
     capitalization of $2,358,000.

     Results of Operations
     ----------------------

     There have been no material changes in financial condition since our
     preceding fiscal year which ended July 31, 1993.

     For the three month period ended April 30, 1994, net sales increased
     7.4% to $141,472,000.  Net income for the third quarter increased 19.6%
     to $11,576,000 or 52 cents per share, from $9,676,000 or 43 cents per
     share in fiscal 1993.  Pretax income for the quarter was up by
     $3,427,000 or 23.4%.

     For the nine month period ended April 30, 1994, net sales increased 8.8%
     to $439,104,000.  Net income for the nine month period increased 14.2%
     to $35,685,000 or $1.61 per share, from $31,250,000 or $1.39 per share
     in fiscal 1993.  Pretax income for the nine months was up by $7,960,000
     or 16.8%.

     Cost of goods sold represented 60.5% of sales versus 62.5% in the third
     quarter of fiscal 1993.  Cost of goods sold for the nine months was 61.8%
     in fiscal 1994 versus 62.4% in fiscal 1993.

     Selling and administrative expenses are flat between years, principally
     due to fewer salesreps in 1994 versus 1993.  The Company intends to add
     salesreps during the remainder of fiscal 1994.

     The provision for depreciation and amortization is up by 9.7% in the
     third quarter from fiscal 1993.  Both the second and third quarters of
     fiscal 1994 included $90,000 as amortization of software acquired from
     First Electronic Forms.

     Interest income for the first nine months decreased by $1,168,000 or
     31.4% from the same period one year ago.  Interest expense, which is
     shown net of capitalized interest, decreased $79,000 or 7.8% between
     years.  The lower interest income figure is attributable to generally
     lower interest rates.

     Operating income for the quarter was up $3,511,000 or 25.2%.  For the
     nine months, operating income was up $9,049,000 or 20.3%.  For fiscal
     1994 this represents 12.2% to sales versus 11.1% for fiscal 1993.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     ---------------------------------

     Working capital increased by $13,938,000 with a current ratio of 3.7 at
     April 30, 1994.  Long-term debt consists of $15,000,000 of industrial
     revenue bonds at rates ranging from 3.25% to 3.35%, and $2,980,000
     assumed in connection with the acquisition of the MGI Companies and
     Evergreen Realty which represents a mortgage on the principal facility
     of the MGI Companies.  Long-term debt currently represents 4.3% of
     total capitalization.

     Capital expenditures for the first nine months totaled $26,191,000.
     For the full fiscal year, we project expenditures of $32.0 million,
     which will be financed entirely through internally generated funds.

     Stockholders' equity increased by 8.0% to $397.5 million at April 30,
     1994.  Since October, 1992, the Company has repurchased 964,150 shares
     of common stock at an average price of $25.86, or $24,932,000.  Of these
     shares, 382,782 were reissued to employees under the Employee Stock
     Purchase Plan, and 85,033 were issued through the exercise of stock
     options.  The Company's authorization to repurchase additional shares
     expired on July 31, 1993.

     Long-term debt of $4,100,000 was reclassified to short-term during the
     second quarter.  This debt relates to Industrial Revenue Bonds from 1974
     and 1979.  It is the Company's intention to call these issues during the
     fourth quarter of fiscal 1994.  In the third quarter, $2,944,000 was
     reclassified to short-term.  This represents debt assumed in connection
     with the acquisition of MGI Companies and Evergreen Realty.  The final
     payment is due February, 1995.

     Cash balances remain adequate to fund current operations.  We do not
     anticipate a need to borrow funds in the near future.

     Common Stock
     -------------

     On November 10, 1993, the Board of Directors voted to increase the
     annualized dividend rate to $.64 per share, a 10.3% increase from
     fiscal 1993.  Quarterly dividends at the increased rate have been paid
     on December 20, 1993 and March 21, 1994.

     Other
     ------

     On November 17, 1993, we completed the acquisition of the electronic
     forms software and technology of First Electronic Forms of Irvine,
     California.  This acquisition was a cash transaction and will be
     accounted for using the purchase method.  The purchase agreement
     includes an earn-out provision contingent upon operating results over
     the next five years.  The acquisition is not expected to materially
     impact the Company's results for fiscal 1994.
