              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     NOTE 1.  The financial information included herein as at July 31, 1994 and
for the three and nine months ended July 31, 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 $25,376,000 in 1994 include raw materials of
$4,267,000 and work in process of $21,109,000. 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 17,377,017 (three months) and 17,345,257
(nine months) in 1994, and 17,274,115 (three months) and 17,213,289 (nine
months) in 1993.
 
     NOTE 4.  Effective November 1, 1993, the Company adopted prospectively
Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
The adoption of SFAS 109 had no effect on net income for the three and nine
months ended July 31, 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
July 31, 1994, the Company had a working capital ratio of 3.01 to 1 and working
capital of $106,059,000.
 
     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 JULY 31, 1994 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1993
 
     Sales increased 16% to $95,591,000. The increase was primarily attributable
to increased levels of mutual fund, EDGAR and commercial printing sales,
partially offset by a decline in sales of financial printing related to
transactional activity. The expected benefits from an increase in sales were
substantially offset by a decrease in the gross margin percentage from 45% to
39%. The decrease in the gross margin percentage was due to the increased sales
of mutual fund products and commercial printing which normally produce lower
margins and to general increases in production costs related to expansion of
facilities and increases in the workforce. As a result, gross margin remained
relatively constant.
 
     Other revenue decreased $199,000 to $460,000 due to lower levels of
invested funds.
 
     Selling and administrative expenses increased $2,103,000, or 10%, to
$23,178,000 as a result of increases in sales commissions, the cost of
facilities and employee compensation.
 
     Depreciation and amortization increased $336,000, or 10%, primarily as a
result of the expansion of facilities and acquisition of equipment.
 
     Interest expense decreased $267,000 due to the reduction of the Company's
debt.
 
                                        5

     The income tax rate remained relatively unchanged.
 
     As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes decreased
$2,164,000 to $10,517,000, and net income decreased $1,271,000, or 17%, to
$6,022,000.
 
NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1994 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1993
 
     Sales increased 27% to $296,853,000 due to increased demand for financial
printing services during the first six months of the period and additional sales
from mutual funds, EDGAR and commercial printing. The increase in sales,
partially offset by a 4% decrease in the gross margin percentage, contributed to
an increase of $17,893,000 in the gross margin. The decrease in the gross margin
percentage was due to an increase in the proportion of sales with lower profit
margins, expansion of production facilities and increases in the production
workforce.
 
     Other revenues increased $946,000 to $3,703,000, due to higher realized
gains on the sale of securities.
 
     Selling and administrative expenses increased $8,234,000, or 13%, to
$73,328,000 principally as a result of increases in sales commissions, 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 $1,268,000, or 12%, primarily as a
result of the expansion of facilities and the acquisition of equipment.
 
     Interest expense decreased $687,000 due to the reduction of the Company's
debt.
 
     The effective overall income tax rate increased from 40% to 43% as a result
of an increased proportion of earnings in higher tax jurisdictions and changes
in the deductibility of certain expenses under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1993.
 
     As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes increased
$10,024,000, or 26%, to $48,077,000 and net income increased $4,796,000, or 21%,
to $27,551,000.
