              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     NOTE 1.  The financial information included herein as at July 31, 1995 and
for the three and nine months ended July 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 $28,344,000 in 1995 include raw materials of
$5,335,000 and work in process of $23,009,000. 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 was 17,389,569 (three months) and 17,385,313
(nine months) in 1995, and 17,377,017 (three months) and 17,345,257 (nine
months) in 1994.
 
     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 July 31, 1995, the fair value of
marketable securities exceeded cost by $2,230,000. The unrealized gains, net of
deferred taxes, were $1,271,000. 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
July 31, 1995, the Company had a working capital ratio of 3.15 to 1 and working
capital of $114,828,000.
 
     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. The costs of labor, facilities and
equipment constitute a major portion of the cost of goods sold. These costs do
not normally increase or decrease proportionally with changes in sales.
 
QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1995 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JULY 31, 1994
 
     Sales increased by $7,519,000, or 8%. The increase was primarily
attributable to higher levels of demand for transactional printing services.
Such printing traditionally generates higher gross margins. The overall increase
in sales, combined with a 2% rise in the gross margin percentage, contributed to
a $4,454,000 increase in gross margin.
 
     Other revenue increased $572,000 due to higher levels of miscellaneous
revenue.
 
     Selling and administrative expenses increased $3,098,000 to $26,276,000.
This increase was due in part to the variable costs associated with sales and
general increases in the cost of labor and facilities.
 
     Depreciation and amortization increased $446,000, or 12%, primarily due to
the refurbishment and expansion of facilities as well as the acquisition of
equipment.
 
     Interest expense remained relatively constant.
 
     The effective overall income tax rate decreased slightly from 43% to 42%
due to an increase in the proportion of earnings in jurisdictions with lower tax
rates.
 
     As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes was $12,031,000,
an increase of 14%, and net income increased 16% to $6,982,000.

     NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1995 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1994
 
     Sales declined 5%, or $14,470,000, as a result of the lower levels of
demand for transactional financial printing services which was partially offset
by increased sales of lower margin services. The overall decline in sales,
combined with a 4% decline in the gross margin percentage, contributed to a
decrease in gross margin of $18,296,000.
 
     Other revenue, consisting primarily of investment income, decreased
$1,126,000 due to lower levels of realized capital gains from the sale of
securities during the current year.
 
     Selling and administrative expenses increased $978,000 to $74,306,000 due
to general increases in the cost of labor and facilities, which were partially
offset by decreases in expenses related to sales and profitability.
 
     Depreciation and amortization increased $1,960,000, or 17%, primarily due
to the expansion of facilities and the acquisition of equipment.
 
     Interest expense decreased $199,000 due to the payment of senior notes in
1994.
 
     The effective overall income tax rate remained at 43%.
 
     As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes was $25,916,000, a
decrease of 46%, and net income decreased 47% to $14,715,000.
