            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
            FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDING MARCH 31, 1995

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: 

Principles of consolidation
- ---------------------------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Web Press Corporation and Web Leader International,
Inc., its wholly owned Domestic International Sales Corporation
(DISC).  All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Inventories
- -----------

Raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods inventories
are stated at the lower of average cost or market.  Used
presses and other related press equipment are stated at the
lower of cost (specific identification basis) or market.
Inventory costs include material, labor, and manufacturing
overhead.

Inventories were classified as follows:

                                       (Dollars in Thousands)
                                           March 31, 1995
                                       ----------------------
                                           
     Raw materials and parts
      (including subassemblies)....            $1,064
     Work-in-progress..............               703
     Finished goods................             1,563
     Used equipment................               803
                                               ------

                                               $4,133
                                               ------
                                               ------


Machinery and leasehold improvements
- ------------------------------------

Machinery and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line
method, for financial statement purposes, based upon useful
lives of three to twelve years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized
over their useful lives or the term of the lease, whichever is
shorter.  For income tax purposes, accelerated methods are used
for all eligible assets.

Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to costs or
expenses as incurred.  Equipment of only nominal value and
renewals and betterments that do not appreciably extend the
life of the asset are charged directly to costs or expenses.


<PAGE>



Fully depreciated or fully amortized assets which are no longer
in use or are not identifiable are written off by charges to
the allowance for accumulated depreciation and amortization.
When assets are retired or disposed of, the costs and
accumulated depreciation of such assets are removed from the
accounts and the difference between the net depreciated cost
and the amount received is recorded in the statements of
operations.

Revenue recognition
- -------------------

Revenue from sales of manufactured products under firm
contracts is recognized generally at the time equipment is
available for shipment.  All freight and installation costs are
accrued at the time revenue is recognized.  Estimated costs
related to product warranties are provided at the time of sale.
Proceeds received on contracts prior to recognition as a sale
are recorded as deposits.

Income taxes
- ------------

Income taxes are provided on income for financial reporting
purposes without regard to the period in which such taxes are
payable.  Deferred taxes are provided for all significant items
which are reported for tax purposes in different periods than
the consolidated statements of earnings.

Earnings per share
- ------------------

Earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding.


Note 2 - Financing:

The Company has a line of credit with a commercial bank for
borrowing up to $750 thousand. The interest rate charged is 2.5
percent above the bank's prime rate.  Borrowings against this
line were $695 thousand on March 31, 1995.  Accounts
receivable, firm orders in production, inventories, and values
in excess of the long-term financing on equipment are pledged
as collateral.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Operating Results
- -----------------

First quarter sales of $1.097 million in 1995 were slightly
higher than the $1.070 million reported in the first quarter of
1994.  The backlog of orders believed to be firm was
approximately $2 million on May 12, 1995, compared to $2.1
million on May 12, 1994.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 84% in the
first quarter of 1995 from 76% in the first quarter of 1994.
The primary reason for the increase was cost overruns due to
electrical problems during field installation of two presses.
Gross profits were $170 thousand and $259 thousand in 1995 and
1994, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $90
thousand in 1995 compared to 1994.  Selling expenses decreased
by 25% in 1995 compared to 1994 due primarily to lower
compensation and travel expenses.  Administrative expenses
decreased by 22% in 1995 from 1994.  1994 administrative
expense included the cost of moving a new employee and
significantly higher legal costs.  Most other expenses were
approximately the same.

Interest expense was $68 thousand in the first quarter of 1995,
compared to $70 thousand in the first quarter of 1994.  The
average interest rate on the Company's short-term borrowing was
11.3% in 1995 and 7.5% in 1994.  The average amount of short-
term borrowings outstanding decreased to $681 thousand in 1995
from $2.247 million in 1994.  Part of the decrease was the
result of the Company transferring $1.250 million of short-term
borrowings into a term note with the bank in December, 1994.

The net loss was $157 thousand in the first quarter of 1995,
compared to a net loss of $159 thousand in the first quarter of
1994.  The low volume of sales is the primary reason for the
loss in both years.

The Company's operating results for the first quarter are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full
year, particularly because of the high value of each order for
the Company's equipment and their irregular timing.  Prospects
for the sale of the Company's equipment are expanding
significantly, both domestically and internationally.  The
Company expects 1995 sales to exceed those of 1994.  It expects
to operate profitably for the year.

Liquidity
- ---------

On March 31, 1995, working capital was $2.657 million as
compared with $1.994 million on March 31, 1994, an increase of
$663 thousand.  The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 2.2:1 in 1995 compared to 1.5:1 in 1994.
Changes in working capital components included a $357 thousand
reduction in accounts receivable, a $345 thousand reduction in
accrued expenses and a $156 thousand increase in inventories.
On December 31, 1994, working capital was $2.931 million and
the current ratio was 2.3:1.

Funds provided by operations are the Company's primary source
of liquidty.  In addition, the Company uses short-term debt
under a revolving line of credit with a commercial bank to
finance fluctuating working capital requirements.  On March 31,
1995, the Company had additional borrowing capacity of $55
thousand under this line.

Capital Resources
- -----------------

Long-term debt and deferred income taxes (net of deferred tax
assest) as a percentage of total capitalization was 38 percent
on March 31, 1995.  The Company believes that its borrowing
capacity is sufficient to provide for orderly operations.
