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)
                                      September 30th, 1995

                                            ______



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.

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

<PAGE>




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 operatinos.

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.  Investment tax credits
are recorded as a reduction of Federal income taxes in the year
available.

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 $700 thousand. The interest rate charged is 2.5
percent above the bank's prime rate.  Borrowings against this
line were $677 thousand on September 30th, 1995.  Accounts
receivable, firm orders in production, inventories, and values
in excess of the long-term financing on equipment are pledged as
collateral.

Operating Results
_________________

Sales:
______

Sales for the first nine months of 1995 were $6.768 million,
compared to $3.750 million for the first nine months of 1994.
Third quarter sales were $1.796 million in 1995 and $1.607
million in 1994.  Domestic sales improved significantly during
the first nine months of 1995, increasing 157% from the same
period in 1994.  The backlog of orders believed to be firm on
November 10th, 1995, was $2.744 million.  The backlog was $2.773
million on November 11th, 1994.

Cost of Sales:
______________

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 88% in the third
quarter of 1995.  It was 75% in the same period of 1994.
Several factors contributed to the high percentage in the third
quarter of 1995.  Three used presses that were ordered in the
second quarter were reconditioned in the third at significantly
higher costs than estimated.  A new press order was sold at a
lower than normal gross profit.  Parts sales normally fluctuate
but those in the third quarter were significantly below normal.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses:
___________________________________________

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third
quarter of 1995 were 18% below those for the same period of
1994.  Those for the first nine months of 1995 were 10% below
those for the first nine months of 1994.  The lower costs in
1995 were due to reductions in advertising and promotion
expenses, travel expenses, and legal expenses.  Most other
selling, general and administrative expenses did not change
significantly.

Interest Expense:
_________________

Interest expense for the third quarter of 1995 was 12% below
that for the same period of 1994 even though the average
interest rate was 2% higher.  Interest expense for the first
nine months of 1995 was 11% below that for the same period of
1994 even though the average interest rate was 2.9% higher.
Average short-term borrowings from the bank were $649 thousand
for the third quarter of 1995 and $673 thousand for the first
nine months of 1995.  In December of 1994 the Company
restructured its bank line of credit, transferring $1.25 million
into a term note.  The average short-term borrowings for the
third quarter of 1995 were $2.12 million.  Those for the nine
month period of 1994 were $2.231 million.

Net Earnings:
_____________

The Company sustained a net loss of $97 thousand in the third
quarter of 1995 compared to a net loss of $19 thousand in the
third quarter of 1994.  For the nine-month period ended
September 30th, 1995, net profits were $175 thousand compared to
a net loss of $340 thousand in 1994.

Company Operating Results:
__________________________

The company's operating results for the first nine-months 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.  Due to
increased and sustained demand for printed advertising during
the first nine-months of 1995, the Company believes newspapers
will continue to have strong earnings during the remainder of
1995 and 1996.  Such increased earnings customarily translate
into higher press sales.

Liquidity:
__________

On September 30th, 1995, working capital was $2.972 million as
compared with $1.796 million on September 30th, 1994.  The ratio
of current assets to current liabilities was 2.3:1 in 1995
compared to 1.5:1 in 1994.  Changes in working capital
components include a $1.155 million increase in accounts
receivable; a reduction of $1.112 million in inventory; a
reduction of $187 thousand in accounts payable; and a $192
thousand increase in customer deposits.  On December 31st, 1994,
working capital was $2.931 million and the current ratio was
2.3:1.

Capital Resources:
__________________

Long-term debt and deferred income taxes (net of deferred tax
assets) as a percentage of total capitalization was 34% on
September 30th, 1995.  The company believes that its borrowing
capacity is sufficient to provide for orderly operations.
