Note 1 - Inventories
Inventories at October 31, 2000, and July 31, 2000, were as follows:
October 31, 2000 July 31, 2000
---------------- -------------
Raw materials $ 20,056,000 $ 15,913,000
Work in process 41,615,000 22,148,000
Finished products 72,713,000 70,072,000
------------ ------------
$134,384,000 $108,133,000
============ ============
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 October 31, 2000, options to purchase 3,402,370 shares of common
stock were outstanding and 2,023,234 shares of common stock were
available for future grants under the Company's Stock Incentive and
Employee Stock Purchase Plans.
The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock and
issued 45,764,054 as of October 31, 2000. Of these shares, 5,505,050
were held in treasury as of October 31, 2000. The number of shares held
in treasury at July 31, 2000 was 5,076,661.
Note 3 - Segment Reporting
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 for fiscal year-ended 1999. The
Company operates in two business segments. Each segment offers
distinctive products and services and are managed separately because of
their unique production, distribution, and marketing requirements. The
Company's two reportable segments are Forms and Labels, and Integrated
Graphics.
The principal products and services supplied by the Forms and Labels
Segment include the design, manufacture and sales of both paper based
and electronic business forms, the manufacture of both electronic data
processing (EDP) labels and prime labels, and the manufacture and
distribution of a standard line of office products. The principal
products and services supplied by the Integrated Graphics Segment
include the design and manufacture of high-color, high quality
marketing and promotional materials, and the manufacture of direct
response printing materials.

Note 3 - Segment Reporting (continued)
The Company's accounting policies for the segments are the same as
those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in
the Company's 2000 Annual Report. Management evaluates segment
performance based on segment profit or loss before interest and income
taxes. Net interest expense and income taxes are not allocated to
segments. Transfers between segments, which are not significant, are
accounted for at standard cost.
Summarized segment data and a reconciliation to the consolidated totals
for the quarters ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

Note 4 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Effective August 1, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by SFAS
No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. This standard requires that an entity
recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities on its balance
sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company had no
derivatives outstanding as of July 31, 2000 and thus, no transition
adjustment was required as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 133.
Additionally, the Company had no derivative instruments, or embedded
derivatives as defined by SFAS No. 133, outstanding as of October 31,
2000.
Subsequent to October 31, 2000, the Company entered into interest rate
swap agreements which effectively convert $75 million of LIBOR floating
rate debt under the revolving Credit Facility ("Credit Facility") to
fixed rate debt. The purpose for entering into the swap agreements is
to better match the Company's assets and liabilities and reduce its
exposure to interest rate risk. The interest rate swap agreements have
a term that is one year or less from the date of inception. These swaps
will be considered hedging transactions and will be accounted for in
accordance with SFAS 133 beginning in the second quarter of fiscal
2001.
Note 5 - Restructuring and Other Charges
In February 2000, the Company announced a plan to restructure its
operations, which resulted in one-time pre-tax expense totaling $41.6
million for fiscal 2000. In the first quarter of fiscal 2001,
additional restructuring costs of $0.4 million were incurred primarily
related to ongoing cash charges related to plant closing activities and
restructuring administrative costs that could previously not be accrued
for in accordance with EITF 94-3. These costs are presented separately
as a component of income from operations in the Statement of
Operations.
The restructuring was undertaken in fiscal 2000 as the Company was
experiencing continued softness in the high-quality color marketing and
promotional printing market as well as issues relating to the
integration of the Graphic acquisition. Management reviewed its
operations and developed action plans relating to both segments that
dealt with under-performing facilities, underutilized assets,
rationalization of certain product lines and a reduction in management
positions at the corporate office. The Company's plan was approved,
committed to, and for the most part, executed in the third quarter of
fiscal 2000 with only minor charges incurred subsequent to that time.

</TABLE>
The plan resulted in four plant closings, and resizing and
consolidation of other facilities. Exit costs are primarily comprised
of tangible and intangible asset write downs related to assets to be
disposed of and the sale of certain facilities, and severance and
severance-related costs. Under the plan, the Company terminated 445
employees, 388 of which are from plant locations and 57 from the
corporate headquarters.
Due to the changes described above, management performed a review of
its existing property and equipment, to determine impairment as
described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS
121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." Based on its evaluation,
management determined that significant impairment in goodwill and
long-lived assets associated with plants that were closed occurred
related to both segments. Certain assets that had no long-term
strategic value were considered held for disposal and either written
off or written down to estimated fair market value if the asset was
able to be sold. The amount of non-cash write offs related to impaired
assets is $20.5 million. The amount of allocated goodwill written off
related to plants acquired in the Graphics acquisition was $11.1
million.
The initiatives associated with this restructuring are substantially
complete as of October 31, 2000. The anticipated additional charges
related to this restructuring should continue to be minimal.
Note 6 - Income Taxes
It is expected that the annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2001 will
be 40.7%. The annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2000 was 54.5% due
primarily to the non-deductibility of certain restructuring charges.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
For the three month period ended October 31, 2000, net sales increased
5.2% to $407.8 million from the quarter ended October 31, 1999. The
impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and plant closings on sales in
the quarter was not material to the results. The Company estimates that
unit growth is positive, with increasing material prices being
partially offset by pricing pressures brought on by competitive
conditions.
Roughly 30% of sales are sold to customers under a written contract
with the Company, which is down slightly from the first quarter a year
ago. Increased sales in the Office Products and Label divisions, which
are largely transactional (non-contractual) have helped transactional
business to increase at a faster rate than contract business. The
Company has also hired experienced sales representatives to continue to
capitalize on local transactional business in the Integrated Graphics
Segment. The combination of higher transactional sales and increased
contract sales is important in providing stability to the Company's
profitability and utilization rates. A significant portion of contract
sales are sales to customers managed by the W.I.N. system.
Net income for the first quarter decreased 11.3% to $16.5 million or 41
cents per share, from $18.6 million or 44 cents per share in the same
quarter a year ago.
The first quarter ended October 31, 2000 includes a $0.4 million pretax
charge for ongoing costs of a restructuring announced in the third
quarter ended April 30, 2000. The Company implemented the restructuring
program because of continued softness in the high-quality color
marketing and promotional printing market, along with issues relating
to the integration of the Graphic Industries acquisition. Management
reviewed its operations and developed action plans relating to both
segments that dealt with under-performing facilities, underutilized
assets, and rationalization of certain product lines. This charge,
which occurred primarily in fiscal 2000, includes the write-off of
goodwill associated with plants that were closed, the write-off of
abandoned software, the write-down to net realizable value of property
and equipment sold and severance and outplacement costs. The additional
restructuring charges incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2001
relate primarily to ongoing cash charges related to plant closing
activities and restructuring administrative costs. Future charges
related to this restructuring should be minimal.
Cost of sales for the quarter was 70.8% of sales as compared to 68.4%
in the first quarter of last year. The LIFO charge in the first quarter
of both years was relatively consistent.
Year over year, the Forms and Labels segment's sales increased 1.2% to
$204.0 million, with operating income of $23.7 million and operating
margin of 11.6% versus operating income of $25.4 million and an
operating margin of 12.6% in the first quarter of last year.
Competitive market conditions have continued to put pressure on
operating margins in this segment. Since the third quarter of last
year, margins have improved sequentially, as the effects of cost
cutting measures initiated with the restructuring announced in that
quarter have taken effect.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
The Integrated Graphics' segment sales increased 9.6% to $203.8
million, with operating income of $12.2 million and operating margin of
6.0% versus operating income of $12.1 million and an operating margin
of 6.5% in the first quarter of last year. The decrease in operating
margin can be attributed to two factors. Ongoing competitive pressures,
particularly in the northeastern United States, have caused margins to
decline. Also affecting margins was the fact that some of the sales
growth contained outsourced production with a higher material content
which, in this case, yielded lower than typical margins.
Selling and administration expenses for the quarter were 15.6% versus
16.9% last year. The restructuring charge in the third quarter of last
fiscal year, along with other cost reduction opportunities have helped
to decrease both selling and administrative expenses to the current
level as a percent of sales. Fourth quarter expenses as a percent of
sales were in the same range at 15.4%.
Depreciation and amortization for the quarter was $19.4 million or 4.7%
of sales versus $19.6 million or 5.1% of sales in the first quarter a
year ago. Depreciation expense has decreased as many underperforming
assets were disposed of and charged off in the restructuring.
Amortization expense is up over 6%, due primarily to ongoing
enhancements to the Company's order entry, customer service, and
inventory management system.
Interest expense for the quarter was $8.1 million, up from $7.5 million
last year. The majority of the increase in interest expense can be
attributed to increased interest rates. Interest income for the quarter
decreased $0.6 million from the first quarter of last year. The
decrease can be attributed to the surrender of several life insurance
policies, the proceeds of which were used to pay down debt.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital decreased by $16.5 million from July 31, 2000.
Increases in inventory were more than offset by increases in accounts
payable. The increase in inventory is temporary as multiple significant
jobs in the Integrated Graphics segment were in process at the end of
the quarter. The current ratio at October 31, 2000 was 2.0 to 1.
Current inventory levels are believed to be in-line with the inventory
levels necessary to satisfy customer demand. The Company anticipates
having adequate sources of supply of raw materials to meet future
business requirements.
Of the outstanding debt as of October 31, 2000, $140.0 million has been
borrowed under a five-year Credit Agreement ("Credit Facility"), which
provides for a maximum aggregate principal amount available to be
borrowed of $400 million. The borrowings under the Credit Facility are
classified as long-term debt as of October 31, 2000 since the Company
has the intent and ability to carry that debt long-term. The Company

has $200 million of Senior Term Notes with institutional investors with
a book value of $184.3 million classified as long-term debt with the

In addition to the credit facility and the senior notes, the Company
