1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements 
have  been prepared by Perry Judd's Holdings, Inc. (along with its 
subsidiaries, the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect normal and recurring 
adjustments, which are, in the opinion of the Company, considered necessary 
for a fair presentation.  As permitted by these regulations, these statements 
do not include all information required by generally accepted accounting 
principles to be included in an annual set of financial statements, however, 
the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the 
information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed 
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the 
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 
Company's latest audited financial statements.

     Effective December 16, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding 
capital stock of Judd's Incorporated ("Judd's") for approximately $101.5 
million less outstanding indebtedness of Judd's.  The acquisition was account 
ed for under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the results of 
operations are included in the accompanying financial statements since the 
acquisition date.  The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based 
upon the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed 
as follows (in thousands):

          name to Perry Judd's Incorporated, ("Perry Judd's"), which 
          continues to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

2.   DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     A.   SALE OF CORPORATE OFFICE BUILDING

          On July 6, 1998, a subsidiary of Perry Judd's ("Judd and Detweiler, 
          Inc."), consummated the sale of a corporate office building located 
          in Washington, D.C.  The aggregate cash consideration received by 
          Perry Judd's in the transaction totaled approximately $2,550,000,

     C.   SALE AND LEASEBACK
     
          On August 17, 1998, Perry Judd's consummated an Agreement of 
          Purchase and Sale relating to the sale and leaseback by Perry 
          Judd's of three parcels of real property and industrial buildings 
          located in Pikesville, Maryland, Strasburg, Virginia and Mt. 
          Jackson, Virginia.  As part of these Sale/Leaseback transactions 
          the Company and Perry Judd's entered into long-term leases as 
          lessees, with the buyer as lessor, for the properties.  The Company 
          and Perry Judd's then subleased the Pikesville, Maryland property 
          to Port City, a then wholly owned subsidiary, under substantially 
          the same economic terms as those contained in the lease.

          Perry Judd's received cash consideration from the buyer for the 
          properties of approximately $20,938,000, net of closing costs and 
          fees.  The terms of the Leases include a twenty year term with an 
          initial annual lease payment of $2,258,667 and 14.5% escalations 
          scheduled at the start of the sixth, eleventh and sixteenth years.

          The initial annual rents by location are as follows:

<TABLE>
              <S>                      <C>
               Pikesville, Maryland     $  977,412
               Strasburg, Virginia       1,029,676
               Mt. Jackson, Virginia       251,579

                                        $2,258,667
</TABLE>

          The proceeds net of income taxes payable, received for the sale of 
          the corporate office building, the sale of Port City, and the sale 
          and leaseback of real property are available only for future 
          acquisitions and capital expenditures under the Company's Credit 
          Agreement, subject to certain limitations for 270 days subsequent 
          to the receipt of proceeds.  Any proceeds not utilized for such 
          purposes must be used to prepay term debt.

4.   IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
     of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting 
     Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and 
     display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial 
     statements.  The Company adopted this statement in the first quarter of 
     1998.  The adoption of SFAS No. 130 did not have a material effect on 
     the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 
     No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement 
     Benefits", which standardizes the disclosure for pensions and other 
     postretirement benefits.  The Company will adopt this statement for the 
     fiscal year ended 1998.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact 
     SFAS No. 132 may have on additional disclosure, if any, to its 
     consolidated financial statements.

5.   CONTINGENCIES

     In connection with the acquisition of Perry Printing, the Company issued 
     50,000 and 65,000 shares of Series A and B redeemable stock, 
     respectively, to the former owner of Perry Printing.  During 1996, the 
     Company made two indemnity claims against the former owner of Perry 
     Printing principally involving breaches of warranties and 
     representations made on certain assets under its Asset Purchase 
     Agreement.  Redemption features of the Series A redeemable preferred 
     stock provided the Company with the option to offset such claims as 
     immediate redemption of the Series A redeemable preferred stock up to 
     the maximum redemption value of $5 million.  Accordingly, the carrying 
     value of the Series A redeemable preferred stock was reduced to $-0- in 
     the financial statements at December 31, 1996.  The former owner of 
     Perry Printing has objected to these claims for indemnification and 
     management anticipates the claims may result in litigation but believes 
     the Company's position on the claims will be upheld.
     
     Additionally, the Company has asserted a claim against the former owner 
     of Perry Printing for an approximate $1.8 million employee benefit 
     obligation incurred prior to April 28, 1995, which is now an obligation 
     of the Company to its employees covered by collective bargaining 
     agreements.  This amount has been reflected as an increase to both 
     assets and liabilities pending resolution with the former owner of Perry 
     Printing.  Management believes that its position will be upheld.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 VERSUS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 
1997.

     Net sales increased $113.2 million or 107.1% to $218.8 million for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $105.6 million for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1997.  The increase resulted primarily from the addition 
of sales from Judd's Incorporated, which the Company acquired effective 
December 16, 1997, and substantially higher volume of production units from 
new and existing customers.  Paper costs were 26.7% of net sales for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 versus 27.4% for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1997.

     Costs of production increased $86.6 million or 99.9% to $173.3 million 
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $86.7 million for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997, principally from the addition of Judd's 
production for the first nine months of 1998 and overall increased volume of 
production.  Costs of production as a percent of net sales were 79.2% for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 82.1% experienced in the 
nine months ended September 30, 1997, principally as a result of the benefits 
from higher production volume and improved operating efficiencies gained from 
capital investments.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $13.7 million or 
132.5% to $24.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared 
to $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  Selling, 
general and administrative expenses increased as a percent of net sales to 
11.0% in the 1998 period compared to 9.8% in the 1997 period.  The majority 
of the $13.7 million increase and the increase as a percent of net sales 
related to adding the Judd's operation for the first nine months of 1998.

     Depreciation expense increased $4.0 million or 81.4% to $8.8 million for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $4.8 million for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997 as a result of including depreciation from 
Judd's for the first nine months of 1998.

     Income from operations increased $7.7 million to $11.1 million for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $3.4 million for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1997, due to the factors discussed in the preceding 
paragraphs.

     Interest expense increased $7.3 million to $11.7 million for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 from $4.4 million for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1997 as a result of an increased level of debt incurred from 
the Judd's acquisition on December 16, 1997.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 
1997.

     Net sales increased $31.9 million or 79.7% to $71.9 million for the 
three months ended September 30, 1998 from $40.0 million for the three months 
ended September 30, 1997.  The increase resulted primarily from the addition 
of sales from Judd's for the third quarter of 1998 and substantially higher 
volume of production units from new and existing customers.  Paper costs were 
26.8% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1998 versus 30.7% 
for the three months ended September 30, 1997.
     
     Costs of production increased $24.1 million or 72.3% to $57.5 million 
for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $33.4 million for the 
three months ended September 30, 1997, principally from the addition of 
Judd's production for the third quarter of 1998 and overall increased volume 
of production.  Costs of production as a percent of net sales were 79.8% for 
the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 83.3% experienced in 
the three months ended September 30, 1997, principally as a result of the 
benefits from higher production volume and improved operating efficiencies 
gained from capital investments.
     
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.4 million or 
130.2% to $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared 
to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  Selling, 
general and administrative expenses increased as a percent of net sales to 
10.7% in the 1998 period compared to 8.4% in the 1997 period.  The majority 
of the $4.4 million increase and the increase as a percent of net sales 
related to adding the Judd's operation for the third quarter of 1998.  
Additionally, the percent of net sales increase is attributed to the change 
in paper costs between the third quarter of 1998 and the third quarter of 
1997.
     
     Depreciation expense increased $1.1 million or 65.4% to $2.7 million for 
the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.6 million for the three 
months ended September 30, 1997 as a result of including depreciation from 
Judd's for the third quarter of 1998.
     
     Income from operations increased $2.0 million to $3.6 million for the 
three months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.6 million for the three months 
ended September 30, 1997, due to the factors discussed in the preceding 
paragraphs.
     
     Interest expense increased $2.5 million to $4.0 million for the three 
months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.5 million for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997 as a result of an increased level of debt incurred from 
the Judd's acquisition on December 16, 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     
     Historically, the Company has funded its capital and operating 
requirements with a combination of cash flow from operations, borrowings and 
external operating leases.  Earnings before income taxes plus depreciation 
and amortization was $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 
1998 and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
     
     Working capital was $64.3 million and $32.9 million at September 30, 
1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.  This increase was due primarily to 
after tax net proceeds from the sale of fixed assets, sale/leaseback of real 
property and sale of the Port City subsidiary, which totaled $45.8 million, 
offset by capital expenditures of $16.9 million.
     
     Since the inception of operations on April 28, 1995, the Company has 
funded the majority of its needs for production equipment through operating 
leases and borrowings under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated 
December 16, 1997, (the "Credit Agreement").  The Credit Agreement, which 
provides for an aggregate commitment of $75 million, is comprised of a $45 
million revolving credit facility based upon a borrowing base of eligible 
accounts receivable and inventory amounts and a $30 million term loan 
facility.  The five-year Credit Agreement provides for monthly reductions in 
its term loan facility and borrowings bear interest at rates that fluctuate 
with the prime rate and the Eurodollar rate.  As of September 30, 1998, the 
Company had outstanding $2.9 million under its revolving credit facility at 
an interest rate of 8.75%, and $28.5 million under its term loan facility at 
an interest rate of 8.06%.  As of September 30, 1998, the Company had 
unutilized commitments of $41.5 million under its Credit Agreement.
     
     In connection with the acquisition of Judd's on December 16, 1997, the 
Company issued 10 5/8% senior subordinated notes due December 15, 2007 in the 
aggregate principal amount of $115 million.  Interest on the notes accrues 
from the date of original issuance and is payable semi-annually in arrears on 
June 15 and December 15 of each year.  The notes are redeemable, in whole or 
in part, at the option of the Company on or after December 15, 2002 at 
specified redemption prices plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.
     
     Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are 
limited due to the Company's diverse operations and large customer base.  As 
of September 30, 1998, the Company had no significant concentrations of 
credit risk.
     
     The Company believes that its liquidity, capital resources and cash 
flows are sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures, working capital 
requirements and interest and principal payments for the foreseeable future.
     
SEASONALITY

     Results of operations for this interim period are not necessarily 
indicative of results for the full year.  The Company's operations are 
seasonal.  Historically, approximately two-thirds of its income from 
operations has been generated in the second half of the fiscal year, 
primarily due to the higher number of magazine pages, new product launches 
and back-to-school and holiday catalog promotions.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

     The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs having been 
written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  
Consequently, any date-sensitive computer processing logic may recognize a 
date using "00" for the year as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  If 
not remedied, this could result in erroneous warning messages, system 
failures or miscalculations which could potentially disrupt operations or 
cause less than optimum operating efficiencies.
     
     The Company's business software applications have been reviewed for 
their ability to operate correctly in the year 2000 and beyond.  It has been 
determined that some software package version upgrades and modification of 
some existing internally developed programs will be required so that the 
computer systems will properly recognize dates beyond December 31, 1999.  The 
Company believes that with minor modification and with the version upgrades, 
the year 2000 issue can be mitigated.  However, if such modifications and 
conversions are not made, or are not completed in a timely fashion, the year 
2000 issue could have a material impact on the business, results of 
operations and financial condition of the Company.
     
     The Company has initiated communications with its significant suppliers 
and customers to determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to 
those third parties' failure to remedy their own year 2000 issue.  To the 
extent that the Company is not satisfied that such third parties are 
adequately prepared for the Year 2000, the Company intends to devise 
contingency plans to ameliorate the effects on the Company's business in the 
event the Year 2000 issue results in the unavailability of products and/or 
services.  There can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies on 
which Perry Judd's systems rely will be converted in a timely fashion, or 
that a failure to convert by another company would not have a material effect 
on the Company.  The Company has determined that it has no exposure to 
contingencies related to the year 2000 issue for the printing services it has 
sold.
     
     The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to modify 
internally developed programs and upgrade package software where indicated.  
The Company plans to complete the year 2000 project no later than mid-1999.  
The indicated software upgrades and version changes are being provided by the 
software developers as part of the normal software support contracts for 
those products.  These costs are being expensed as incurred and are not 
expected to have a material effect on the business, results of operations or 
financial condition of the Company.
     
     The costs of the project and the date on which the Company plans to 
complete the year 2000 efforts are based on management's best estimates, 
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events including 
the continued availability of certain resources, third party software 
developer modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no 
guarantee that these estimates will be accurate and actual results could 
differ materially from those estimates.
     
     The Company does not separately track the internal costs incurred for 
the Year 2000 project, but such costs are principally included in and 
constitute a part of the related payroll costs for its information systems 
group.
