              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     NOTE 1.  The financial information included herein as at January 31, 1995
and for the three months ended January 31, 1995 and 1994 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, 1994
was derived from the Company's audited annual report for 1994.
 
     NOTE 2.  Inventories of $25,408,000 in 1995 include raw materials of
$5,716,000 and work in process of $19,692,000. At October 31, 1994, inventories
of $20,176,000 included raw materials of $4,613,000 and work in process of
$15,563,000.
 
     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, 1995
and 1994 were 17,379,358 and 17,302,712, respectively.
 
     NOTE 4.  Effective November 1, 1994, the Company adopted FASB Statement No.
115 ("Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities"). The
Company classifies its investment in marketable securities as
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value,
with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity. At January 31, 1995, the fair value of
marketable securities exceeded cost by $643,000. The unrealized gains, net of
deferred taxes, were $360,000. In accordance with the provisions of FASB
Statement No. 115, prior year information was not restated.

          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, 1995, the Company had a working capital ratio of 3.73 to 1 and
working capital of $104,510,000.
 
     Cash generated from operations, available working capital and borrowings
have been used to finance acquisitions, capital expenditures, payment of debt,
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 growth, 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, facilities,
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. The costs for facilities, labor and
equipment constitute a major portion of the costs of goods sold. These costs do
not normally increase or decrease proportionally with changes in sales.
 
QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 31, 1994
 
     Sales decreased by $5,262,000, or 6%. The decrease was primarily
attributable to lower levels of demand for transactional printing services. The
decrease in demand was partially offset by increases in sales of non-
transactional printing to corporate, mutual funds and specialized commercial
printing clients. Such printing traditionally generates lower gross margins than
transactional printing. The overall decrease in sales, combined with a 7%
decrease in the gross margin percentage, contributed to a decline in gross
margin of $7,933,000.
 
     Other revenue, consisting primarily of investment income, decreased
$734,000 due to reduced amounts of realized gains from the sale of securities.
 
     Selling and administrative expenses decreased $1,738,000 to $21,509,000. As
a percentage of sales these costs remained relatively constant due to decreases
in certain expenses directly related to sales and profitability.
 
     Depreciation and amortization increased $879,000, or 24%, primarily as a
result of the acquisition of equipment and the expansion of facilities during
1994.
 
     Interest expense decreased $140,000 principally due to the reduction of the
Company's debt.
 
     The effective overall income tax rate increased from 41% to 44%. The
increased rate is principally attributable to non-deductible expenses, including
the amortization of goodwill, representing a larger portion of the reduced
income before taxes. Also, the Company had taxable losses in jurisdictions for
which carryback benefits are not available and for which future earnings are not
assured. Losses not carried back will be used to offset future taxes when
operations are profitable.
 
     As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes was $3,650,000, a
decrease of 68%, and net income decreased 70% to $2,027,000.
