              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     NOTE 1.  The financial information included herein as at April 30, 1994 and
for the three and six months ended April 30, 1994 and 1993 is unaudited and, in
the opinion of the Company, reflects all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position
as of those dates and the results of operations for those periods. The
information in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as at October 31, 1993
was derived from the Company's audited annual report for 1993.
 
     NOTE 2.  Inventories of $36,238,000 in 1994 include raw materials of
$5,088,000 and work in process of $31,150,000. In 1993, inventories of
$21,729,000 included raw materials of $4,293,000 and work in process of
$17,436,000.
 
     NOTE 3.  Net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The
weighted average number of shares was 17,356,042 (three months) and 17,329,377
(six months) in 1994, and 17,205,163 (three months) and 17,182,876 (six months)
in 1993.
 
     NOTE 4.  Effective November 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109), and has applied the provisions
prospectively for 1994. The adoption of SFAS 109 had no effect on the tax
provisions or net income for the three and six months ended April 30, 1994.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company has a strong financial position with excellent liquidity. On
April 30, 1994, the Company had a working capital ratio of 2.65 to 1 and working
capital of $104,317,000.
 
     Cash generated from operations, available working capital and borrowings
have been used to finance acquisitions, capital expenditures, purchase of
treasury stock and payment of dividends. It is expected that such funds and the
Company's borrowing capacity will be sufficient to finance the Company's future
capital expenditures, acquisition of treasury stock, payment of dividends and
possible acquisitions.
 
                                   INFLATION
 
     The Company has experienced the effects of inflation through increases in
the costs of employee compensation and related fringe benefits, outside
services, raw materials and other supplies. Due to price competition, the
Company does not always fully recover all of its increased costs.
 
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The Company provides printing services to produce the varied documentation
required by major financial transactions, corporate periodic reports,
restructuring plans for bankrupt companies, communication to shareholders and
basic commercial printing. The sales value of each project is dependent, among
other things, upon the size, complexity and type of document printed, the time
allowed for completion and the level of changes required, and may be further
impacted by the level of competition.
 
     The Company's corporate printing business is seasonal to the extent that
the greatest number of proxy statements and annual reports are required to be
printed during the Company's second fiscal quarter ending April 30. In addition,
the Company's business is generally affected by cyclical conditions in the
capital markets.
 
     The general necessity for rapid document processing after delivery of copy
by its customers requires that the Company maintain physical plant and customer
service staff sufficient to meet maximum work loads. Consequently, the Company
does not always operate at full capacity.
 
QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1994 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1993
 
     Sales increased 33% to $119,187,000. The increase was primarily
attributable to increased demand for the Company's financial printing services
and additional sales to the mutual fund industry. The increase in sales was
partially offset by a decrease in the gross margin percentage from 52% to 47%.
The decrease in the gross margin percentage was due to expansion of production
facilities, increases in the production workforce and changes in the mix of
services. As a result, gross margin increased $9,145,000.
 
     Other revenue increased $345,000 to $1,545,000 on higher realized gains
from the sale of securities.
 
     Selling and administrative expenses increased $1,549,000, or 6%, to
$26,903,000 as a result of general increases in the cost of facilities and
employee compensation, as well as sales commission and incentive compensation
related to increases in sales.
 
     Depreciation and amortization increased $618,000, or 18%, primarily as a
result of the expansion of facilities and acquisition of equipment.
 
     Interest expense decreased $132,000 due to the reduction of the Company's
debt.
 
     The income tax rate increased from 38% to 43% as a result of an increased
proportion of earnings in higher tax jurisdictions, and the higher tax rate and
changes in the deductibility of certain expenses under the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993.
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   7
 
     As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes increased
$7,455,000, or 40%, to $26,242,000, and net income increased $3,275,000, or 28%,
to $14,870,000.
 
SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1994 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1993
 
     Sales increased 34% to $201,262,000 due to increased demand for financial
printing services and additional sales to the mutual fund industry. The increase
in sales, combined with a 4% decrease in the gross margin percentage,
contributed to an increase in the gross margin of $17,686,000. The decrease in
the gross margin percentage was due to expansion of production facilities,
increases in the production workforce and changes in the mix of services.
 
     Other revenues increased $1,145,000 to $3,243,000, due to higher realized
gains on the sale of securities.
 
     Selling and administrative expenses increased $6,131,000, or 14%, to
$50,150,000 principally as a result of sales and incentive compensation and
other expenses related to increases in sales and profitability, and to general
increases in the costs of facilities and labor.
 
     Depreciation and amortization increased $932,000, or 14%, primarily as a
result of the expansion of facilities and the acquisition of equipment.
 
     Interest expense decreased $420,000 due to the reduction of the Company's
debt.
 
     The effective overall income tax rate increased from 39% to 43% as a result
of an increased proportion of earnings in higher tax jurisdictions, and the
higher tax rate and changes in deductions under the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993.
 
     As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes increased
$12,188,000, or 48%, to $37,560,000 and net income increased $6,067,000, or 39%,
to $21,529,000.
