              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     NOTE 1.  The financial information included herein as at January 31, 1994
and for the three months ended January 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 $29,480,000, in 1994, include raw materials of
$4,828,000 and work in process of $24,652,000. 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 for the three months ended January 31, 1994
and 1993 were 17,302,712 and 17,160,588, respectively.
 
     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
provision or net income for the quarter ended January 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
January 31, 1994, the Company had a working capital ratio of 2.82 to 1 and
working capital of $91,535,000.
 
     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 JANUARY 31, 1994 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 31, 1993
 
     Sales increased by $21,049,000, or 34%. The increase was primarily
attributable to higher level of demand for financial printing services.  The
overall increase in sales, combined with a 1% decrease in the gross margin
percentage, contributed to an increase in gross margin of $8,541,000.
 
     Other revenue, consisting primarily of investment income, increased
$800,000 due to realized gains on the sale of securities.
 
     Selling and administrative expenses increased $4,582,000, or 25%, to
$23,247,000, principally as a result of sales and incentive compensation and
other expenses related to increases in sales and profitability, and increases in
the number of employees and the costs of facilities and labor.
 
     Depreciation and amortization increased $314,000, or 10%, primarily as a
result of the acquisition of equipment during 1993.
 
     Interest expense decreased $288,000, or 45%, principally due to the
reduction of the Company's debt.
 
     The income tax rate remained relatively constant as the higher tax rate
under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 was offset by the increased
proportion of income earned in jurisdictions with lower tax rates.
 
     As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes was $11,318,000,
an increase of 72%, and net income increased 72% to $6,659,000.
