ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

      On July 1, 1998 Desi Acquisition, Inc. ("Acquiror"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Bowne & Co., Inc. (the "Company"), acquired approximately
4,920,240 shares of Donnelley Enterprise Solutions Incorporated ("DESI"),
representing approximately 98.2% of DESI's outstanding shares of common stock,
for a cash price of $21.00 per share. The shares were purchased pursuant to a
tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of DESI common stock
commenced on June 3, 1998.

      On July 6, 1998, the Company completed the merger of Acquiror with DESI.
Upon consummation of the merger, DESI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company and the shareholders of DESI who did not tender their shares became
entitled to receive $21.00 per share. The total purchase price for DESI was
approximately $105 million for the shares of DESI Common Stock, plus certain
additional amounts paid for transaction expenses.                              

      The funds used to consummate the acquisition came from existing cash and
borrowings of the Company under a revolving credit agreement, dated July 7, 1997
(the "Credit Agreement") with Fleet Bank, National Association, as
Administrative Agent and certain other lending institutions.

      DESI is a single-source provider of integrated information management
solutions, primarily to professional service organizations, such as large law
firms, investment banks, and accounting firms.                                

      On August 27, 1998, the Company and DESI completed the sale, for cash, of
the assets of the LANSystems division of DESI. LANSystems was acquired as part
of the Company's acquisition of DESI, and its disposition was contemplated as
part of the acquisition. The pro forma financial information included in item 7
of this report on Form 8-K/A gives effect to the closing of the sale of the
LANSystems assets, including the estimated effect of certain post-closing
adjustments to the initial purchase price.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders of
Donnelley Enterprise Solutions Incorporated:

  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DONNELLEY
ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS INCORPORATED (a Delaware corporation) AND SUBSIDIARIES as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Donnelley
Enterprise Solutions Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                  DONNELLEY ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS INCORPORATED

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

  Donnelley Business Services ("DBS") was an unincorporated business unit of
R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company ("R.R. Donnelley") from its organization in 1988
through December 31, 1995. On June 21, 1995, R.R. Donnelley acquired LAN
Systems, Inc. ("LANSystems") in a business combination accounted for as a
purchase (see Note 14 for further discussion). Following the acquisition,
LANSystems was a wholly owned subsidiary of R.R. Donnelley and was operated
together with DBS. Effective January 1, 1996, R.R. Donnelley contributed the
assets and liabilities of DBS to LANSystems and LANSystems changed its name to
Donnelley Enterprise Solutions Incorporated ("DESI"). The 1995 consolidated
financial statements have been restated to reflect the consolidation of
entities under common control by R.R. Donnelley since the date of acquisition
of LANSystems. LANSystems is included in the results of operations in the
accompanying financial statements since July 1, 1995. DESI and its wholly
owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the "Company."

  On November 5, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
2,860,000 shares of Common Stock (the "IPO" or "Offering"), 1,855,000 of which
were sold by the Company, and 1,005,000 of which were sold by R.R. Donnelley.
Of the $41.7 million of net proceeds to the Company from the IPO, (1)
approximately $8.7 million was used in final payment for certain contingent
obligations arising from the acquisition of LANSystems, (2) $20.3 million was
used in repayment of advances owed R.R. Donnelley, and (3) approximately $8.1
million was used in repayment of the $8.0 million Dividend Note and accrued
interest. The remaining $4.6 million was used for general corporate purposes.

  The Company is a single-source provider of integrated information management
services to professional service providers, primarily large law firms,
investment banking firms and accounting firms. The Company operates entirely
within the information management services segment. Within this segment, the
Company offers three general categories of services: business services
outsourcing, integration services and systems management outsourcing. The
Company's business services outsourcing offerings include document services,
such as reprographic, networked and color printing, mailroom and facsimile
services; word processing and desktop publishing; and imaging. The Company's
integration services ("LANSystems") include systems integration, consulting,
software development and technical training. The Company's systems management
outsourcing offerings include on-site management and administration of servers
and desktops, including the operation of client help desk functions.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 Basis of Consolidation

  The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company.
All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.

 Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenues

  Business Services Outsourcing--The Company recognizes revenues related to
its business services outsourcing upon rendering of service. All outsourcing
contracts are billed on a monthly basis. At December 31, 1996 and 1997,
unbilled revenues amounted to $71,000 and $42,000, respectively.

  Integration Services--For material integration projects with a duration of
three months or longer that require installation, system design and
integration, the Company recognizes revenue under the percentage-of-completion
method, using labor efforts incurred to date in relation to estimated total
labor costs of the contracts to measure stage of completion. The cumulative
effects of revisions of estimated total labor costs and revenues are recorded

                                      8
<PAGE>   10

                  DONNELLEY ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS INCORPORATED

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

in the period in which the facts requiring the revision become known. When a
loss is anticipated on a contract, the full amount thereof is provided
currently. Claims, including change orders, are reflected at estimated
recoverable amounts. At December 31, 1996 and 1997, estimated revenue in
excess of billings on contracts amounted to $4,776,000 and $5,841,000,
respectively.

  For all other integration projects, the Company recognizes revenue upon
substantial completion of the project.

  Amounts billed for systems maintenance contracts are recorded as deferred
revenue and recognized in revenue over the term of the contract on a straight-
line basis.

  Systems Management Outsourcing--The Company recognizes revenues related to
its systems management outsourcing upon rendering of service. All outsourcing
contracts are billed on a monthly basis.

 Cash Equivalents

  The company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents for purposes of
classification in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements
of cash flows. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market
value.

 Inventories

  Inventories consist of materials and supplies and are carried at the lower
of weighted average cost or market.

 Property and Equipment--Capitalization and Depreciation

  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method based on useful lives of 2 to 7 years. Maintenance
and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. When properties are
retired or disposed, the costs and related depreciation reserves are
eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in income.

  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the related lease.
Leased capitalized assets are depreciated over the life of the related lease
or the normal useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.

 Goodwill--Capitalization and Amortization

  Goodwill consists of the excess of purchase price over the fair market value
of net assets acquired as a result of the acquisition of LANSystems on June
21, 1995. The goodwill is amortized over its estimated useful life of 20
years. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1996 and 1997, was $1,099,000
and $2,171,000, respectively.

 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
("FAS 121")--"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" effective
January 1, 1995. In accordance with the requirements of FAS 121, the Company
periodically assesses whether events or circumstances have occurred that may
indicate the carrying value of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable.
When such events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may
be impaired, the Company uses an estimate based on the future undiscounted
cash flows to be derived from the asset over the remaining useful life of the
asset to assess whether or not the asset is recoverable. If the future
undiscounted cash flows to be derived over the life of the asset do not exceed

                                      9
<PAGE>   11

                  DONNELLEY ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS INCORPORATED

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

the asset's net book value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the
amount by which the net book value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair
market value. The Company has not recognized any material impairment losses
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997.

 Research and Development

  Research and development expenditures are charged to earnings as incurred
and amounted to $1,274,000, $1,206,000, and $1,942,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively. These costs are reflected in
the Company's consolidated statements of income as general and administrative
expenses.

 Reclassifications

  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to fiscal year
1997 presentation. These changes had no impact on previously reported results
of operations or shareholders' equity.

 Income Taxes

  For the year ended December 31, 1995, and for the period beginning January
1, 1996 and ending November 4, 1996, the Company is included in the
consolidated federal income tax return of R.R. Donnelley. The Company filed a
short period return for the period beginning November 5, 1996 and ending
December 31, 1996 on a stand alone basis. The consolidated tax provision for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 is presented as if the Company
filed a separate tax return for the full years. Deferred taxes are provided
when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the
amount of income calculated in a given year and the bases of assets and
liabilities, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109--"Accounting for Income Taxes." Income taxes through the completion of
the IPO were paid by R.R. Donnelley on behalf of the Company.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  In accordance with the reporting requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," the Company calculates the fair value of its financial
instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the
carrying value of those financial instruments. When the fair value reasonably
approximates the carrying value, no additional disclosure is made.

 Reporting Comprehensive Income

  In June 1997 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" ("FAS 130"), was issued, effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997, which requires a different format for
presentation of information already included in the Company's financial
statements. The Company believes the impact of FAS 130 will not have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.

 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

  In June 1997 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS
131"), was issued, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997, which requires that public business enterprises report certain
information about operating segments and certain information about their
products and services, the geographic areas in which they operate and their
major customers. FAS 131 does not affect accounting principles and,
accordingly, will not require any change to reported financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of FAS 131 on its segment reporting.

                  DONNELLEY ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS INCORPORATED

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)


 Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

  The balance sheet accounts of the Company's foreign subsidiary and division
have been translated at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the year.
Income and expense accounts have been translated at the weighted average rates
in effect during the year.

 Use of Estimates and Assumptions

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates inherent in the
preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include
management's estimate related to, among other things, allowances for doubtful
accounts, future cash flows associated with long-lived assets, valuation
allowances for deferred tax assets and contract revenues and expenses related
to integration services projects recognized using the percentage of completion
method. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS:

  A majority of the Company's revenues are attributable to clients operating
in the professional services industry. For the year ended December 31, 1995,
no clients accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's revenues. For the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, one client accounted for approximately
11% and 13% of the Company's revenues, respectively.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH R. R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY:

  Substantially all transactions with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company were
terminated in 1996, with the exception of certain services provided under the
Transition Services Agreement, which were terminated in 1997, commissions paid
to R.R. Donnelley salesmen and integration services sales made to
R.R. Donnelley. Related-party transactions with R.R. Donnelley not disclosed
elsewhere in the financial statements are as follows:

 Accounts Receivable Sold Without Recourse

  The Company sold certain accounts receivable, without recourse, to R.R.
Donnelley Receivables, Inc. ("DRI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of R.R.
Donnelley. The amount of the receivables sold was directly offset against the
advances due to related party. The Company was not charged for any factoring
costs related to these receivables and, therefore, the financial statements do
not include any charge for factoring costs. During the year ended December 31,
1996 the Company factored $45.1 million of receivables to DRI. Factored
receivables that remain uncollected by DRI were $3.5 million and $565,000 at
December 31, 1996 and 1997, and are excluded from the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.

  As of December 16, 1996 the Company terminated the factoring agreement and
no longer factors any of its receivables.

 Employee Benefit Programs

  The Company's employees participated in various employee benefit programs
that were sponsored by R.R. Donnelley, including those employees acquired in
connection with the acquisition of LANSystems who began participating in all
such programs other than the defined benefit pension plan as of January 1,
1996 and,

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

with respect to the defined benefit pension plan, as of June 21, 1995. The
employee benefit programs sponsored by R.R. Donnelley included medical, dental
and life insurance, workers' compensation and a defined benefit pension plan.
The Company reimbursed R.R. Donnelley for its proportionate cost of these
programs based on historical experience and relative headcount. The Company
recorded expense related to the reimbursement of these costs of approximately
$1.9 million and $2.4 million in the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. The costs were charged to cost of revenues, selling expense and
general and administrative expense based on the number of employees in each of
these categories. The Company believes its allocation of the proportionate
cost is reasonable. R.R. Donnelley is liable for all payments under these
programs and, thus, no liability for these benefits has been reflected on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

  The weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial present
value of the benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plan was 7.25%
and 7.5% for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The
rate of increase in future compensation levels assumed was 4% for 1995 and
1996. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9.5% for both
years.

  On May 1, 1996, the Company terminated its participation in the R.R.
Donnelley defined benefit pension plan. R.R. Donnelley has retained all assets
and liabilities related to the plan. All other benefit programs offered by
R.R. Donnelley were terminated on December 31, 1996.

 Corporate Services

  Prior to the completion of the IPO, R.R. Donnelley provided certain support
services to the Company including legal, tax, benefits administration, data
processing, internal audit and payroll services. These charges were allocated
by R.R. Donnelley to the Company based on various formulas which reasonably
approximate the actual costs incurred. The corporate assessments recorded by
the Company for these allocations in the accompanying consolidated income
statements were approximately $650,000 and $863,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, and 1996, respectively. The amounts allocated by R.R.
Donnelley are not necessarily indicative of the actual costs which may have
been incurred had the Company operated as an entity unaffiliated with R.R.
Donnelley. However, the Company believes that the allocation is reasonable and
in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 55.

 Sales Through R.R. Donnelley

  The Company sold services to clients who are also clients of R.R. Donnelley.
For some of these sales, an R.R. Donnelley salesman would assist the Company
in making the initial client contact and executing the transaction. To
compensate for these services, the Company paid a commission fee to the
respective R.R. Donnelley salesman. Management believes these commission fees
approximated the actual costs which may have been incurred had the Company
operated as an entity unaffiliated with R.R. Donnelley. Total commissions
expense related to these sales approximated $65,000, $43,000 and $82,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The sales to
which these commissions relate approximated, $6,027,000, $3,936,000 and
$10,556,000, respectively. The Company sold integration services and products
to R.R. Donnelley. These sales approximated $955,000, $2,038,000 and $411,000
for the period July 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995 and the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The receivables from R.R. Donnelley
related to these sales are reflected in accounts receivable or in the advances
due to related party discussed below.

 Impact of Operating as a Stand-Alone Entity

  For the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the period beginning January 1,
1996 through November 4, 1996, the accompanying financial statements reflect
the Company's costs of doing business, including expenses

                                      12

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

incurred by R.R. Donnelley on the Company's behalf in accordance with
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 55. However,
the Company estimates it would have incurred increased expenses as a stand-
alone company, as well as other incremental public company expenses.

 Advances Due to Related Party

  Prior to the IPO, advances due to related party represent advances from R.R.
Donnelley to fund operating and investing activities, net of cash advanced to
R.R. Donnelley from operating cash flows generated by the Company. Advances
owed to R.R. Donnelley are non-interest bearing. The advances outstanding upon
the completion of the IPO were paid in full at November 4, 1996 with proceeds
from the offering.

  Advances due to related party as of December 31, 1996 relate to services
provided to the Company by R.R. Donnelley under the Transition Services
Agreement and the Benefit Administration Agreement. Under these agreements,
R.R. Donnelley or its affiliates agreed to perform certain legal, tax, data
processing, risk management, employee benefit, credit and collection, cash
management and banking and accounts payable services for the Company. Of the
approximately $6.5 million due to R.R. Donnelley as of December 31, 1996,
approximately $66,000 and $544,000 relate to fees under the Transition
Services Agreement and Benefit Administration Agreement, respectively. The
remaining balance reflects cash fundings made on behalf of the Company by R.R.
Donnelley under the Transition Services Agreement. The $510,000 due to R.R.
Donnelley as of December 31, 1997 is disputed.

  The Benefit Administration Agreement terminated on December 31, 1996. The
Transition Services Agreement was terminated at the Company's request on
November 30, 1997.

5. PRO FORMA AND BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

  The pro forma earnings per share calculation set forth below does not
reflect the actual weighted average shares outstanding during the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1996, but assumes the 5,000,000 common shares
outstanding upon the completion of the Offering and the 5,000 restricted
common shares issued to a key executive were outstanding for these years.

</TABLE>

  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128"),
which became effective in the fourth quarter of 1997. FAS 128 replaces the
presentation of earnings per share reflected on the income statement with a
dual presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average numbers of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were
exercised resulting in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the
earnings of the Company. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the year
ended 1997 were the same. The effect of outstanding stock options was not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so
would have been antidilutive. These options could potentially dilute earnings
per share in the future.

continue paying Mr. Bradbury his salary through June 21, 1997, pay him a pro-

benefit plans through such date.

9. CREDIT AGREEMENT:

  The Company entered into a $22.0 million credit agreement with Harris Trust
and Savings Bank on October 30, 1996. The credit agreement will be used in
conjunction with cash flows from operations to fund ongoing operations,
seasonal cash needs, and for continued growth and investment. Amounts
available under the facility will not exceed a percentage of the Company's
billed and unbilled accounts receivable, and borrowings will mature in
November 1999 and bear interest (i) at the prime rate announced by the bank
acting as agent under the facility or (ii) at the applicable LIBOR rate plus,
depending on the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio, up to 125 basis points
per annum. In addition, the Company will pay a commitment fee of 20 to 30
basis points per annum, depending on its fixed charge coverage ratio, on the
unused portion of the credit agreement. The commitment fees for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 were $7,700 and $33,400, respectively. $5.6
million in borrowings at a weighted average rate of 6.94% were outstanding at
December 31, 1997.

  The facility contains customary financial and other covenants, including
requirements to (i) maintain a minimum consolidated net worth of not less than
80% of consolidated net worth on November 6, 1996 plus 50% of consolidated
positive net income for each fiscal quarter; (ii) a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio specified quarterly; and (iii) a funded debt to cash flow ratio
of not more than 2.5 to 1, and restrictions on liens, investments, dividends,
indebtedness, acquisitions and transactions with affiliates. The Company was
in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 1997. The facility
may be extended an additional year upon receipt of notice by the
Administrative Agent before the second, third and fourth anniversary dates of
the Agreement and terminates in full on November 5, 1999.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

  The Company is party to certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse
effect on the operations or financial position of the Company. A former client
filed suit against the Company in 1996 and the Company filed a counter claim
in 1997. The Company is of the opinion that the claim and the related
counterclaim will not have a material impact on the results of operations of
the Company in the period in which resolved.

  The Company has not provided a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
because, although realization is not assured, the Company believes it is more
likely than not that such tax assets will be recognized through reversals of
taxable timing differences and taxable income in future periods. The current
net operating loss carryforwards expire between the years ended December 31,
2000 and 2010.

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

  Effective January 1, 1997, the Company offered employees a 401(k) savings
plan with the Company matching a portion of the amounts contributed by
employees. An employee is eligible to receive the employer match after being
employed by the Company for one year, if that employee was not hired by
January 1, 1997. The Company matches 50% of the first 5% of the employee's
contribution. Vesting on the employer match occurs over five years. For the
year ended December 31, 1997, the Company contributed $441,000 to the 401(k)
savings plan.

  The Company instituted a stock purchase plan in 1997 that begins effective
January 1, 1998. Under the plan, the Company allows employees with at least
one year of service with the Company to participate. Each employee

may invest up to 10% of their base compensation at a discount of 15% off the
fair market value of the stock price on the last day of the offering periods,
which are January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. The Company has not
incurred any expense related to the plan in 1997 as it is not effective until
January 1, 1998.

13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

  The Company has three stock option plans, the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan
("Incentive Plan"), the 1996 Broad-Based Employee Stock Plan ("Broad-Based
Plan") and the 1997 Non-Employee Director Plan, as well as the 1997 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan. See Note 12. The Company accounts for these plans under
APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized.

  Had compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with FASB
Statement No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have
been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

  The Company may grant options for up to 400,000 shares of Common Stock under
both the Incentive Plan and the Broad-Based Plan. Under both Plans, the option
price equals the stock's market price on date of grant. These options vest
over periods of two to four years and expire after ten years. Upon completion
of the IPO, a total of 313,950 options were awarded under these plans to
employees of the Company at an exercise price of $25.00 per share.
Additionally, 5,000 shares of restricted Common Stock were granted to a key
executive upon completion of the IPO. No other options were outstanding at
December 31, 1996. For the year ended December 31, 1997, a total of 332,375
options were outstanding. A summary of the status of the Company's stock
option plans at December 31, 1996 and 1997 is presented below:

  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used to estimate the
fair value of these grants in 1996 and 1997 were, respectively: risk-free
interest rate of 6.2% and 6.4%, an expected dividend yield of 0% and 0%, an
expected volatility of 53.0% and 78.4% and a grant life of seven years and
five years, respectively.

14. ACQUISITION OF LANSYSTEMS:

  As discussed in Note 1, LANSystems was acquired on June 21, 1995 for cash of
approximately $16.6 million and certain contingent payment obligations
("earnout"). The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the excess
of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired being
allocated to goodwill in the amount of approximately $11.8 million. The
goodwill is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 20 years.

  The earnout provisions provided for contingent payments of up to $12.9
million payable to former LANSystems shareholders and management participants
based on the achievement of specified financial targets for the years ended
December 31, 1995 through 1998. In the year ended December 31, 1996, the
earnout was renegotiated and a final payment was made. In this regard, $9.5
million was recorded as additional goodwill related to the earnout.

  The following unaudited pro forma income statement was prepared to
illustrate the estimated effects of the acquisition as if it had occurred on
January 1, 1995. The pro forma adjustments are based on the available
information and upon certain assumptions the Company believes are reasonable.
The pro forma income statement does not purport to represent what the
Company's income statements would actually have been if such transaction in
fact had occurred on January 1, 1995, or to project the Company's income
statements for any future period. The information below reflects an adjustment
for the amortization of goodwill based on the new cost basis of the Company,
as well as an adjustment to the income tax provision to reflect the tax effect
of the aforementioned adjustment.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)


  The pro forma earnings per share calculation does not reflect the actual
weighted average shares outstanding during the year ended December 31, 1996,
but assumes the 5,000,000 common shares outstanding upon the completion of the
Offering and the 5,000 restricted common shares issued to a key executive were
outstanding for this year.

16. CHANGES IN ESTIMATE:

  In the third quarter of 1997, the Company recorded two adjustments resulting
from changes in estimate. One adjustment affected revenue and gross profit by
$3.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for a change in estimate in
integration and consulting services at LANSystems resulting from the
reductions in scope on certain integration projects, operating performance
issues and an increase in the estimated number of hours required to complete
certain other projects. The second adjustment resulted primarily from a change
in estimate in the allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $3.6
million, which was primarily due to the increased age of the receivables at
LANSystems which lessens the likelihood of collection.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS-(UNAUDITED)

  On July 6, 1998, the Company was acquired by and merged with a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Bowne & Co., Inc.                    

  On August 27, 1998, Winstar Communications, Inc. purchased the assets of
LANSystems, a division of the Company.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

     Donnelley Business Services ("DBS") was an unincorporated business unit of
R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company ("R.R. Donnelley") from its organization in 1988
through December 31, 1995. On June 21, 1995, R.R. Donnelley acquired
LANSystems, Inc. ("LANSystems") in a business combination accounted for as a
purchase. Following the acquisition, LANSystems was a wholly owned subsidiary
of R.R. Donnelley and was operated together with DBS. Effective January 1,
1996, R.R. Donnelley contributed the assets and liabilities of DBS to
LANSystems and LANSystems changed its name to Donnelley Enterprise Solutions
Incorporated (the "Company" or "DESI").

     On November 5, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
2,860,000 shares of Common Stock (the "IPO" or "Offering"), 1,855,000 of which
were sold by the Company, and 1,005,000 of which were sold by R.R. Donnelley.

     The Company is a single-source provider of integrated information
management services primarily to professional service providers, such as
large law firms, investment banking firms and accounting firms. The Company
operates within the information management services business. The Company's
offerings include document services, such as reprographic, networked and color
printing, mailroom and facsimile services, desktop publishing, and imaging. The
Company's systems management services include help desk, network management and
systems administration.

     On July 1, 1998 Desi Acquisition Inc. ("Acquiror"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Bowne & Co., Inc. ("Bowne"), acquired approximately 4,920,240
shares of  DESI. The shares were purchased pursuant to a tender offer to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of DESI common stock.
                                                                            
     On July 6, 1998, Bowne completed the merger of Acquiror with DESI.
Upon consummation of the merger, DESI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Bowne. The total purchase price for DESI was approximately $105 million, plus
certain additional amounts paid for transaction expenses.

     On August 27, 1998, Winstar Communications, Inc. purchased the assets of
LANSystems.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The financial statements included herein are unaudited and have been
prepared by the Company to conform with the requirements applicable to Form
8K/A. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted as permitted by such requirements.  These 
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, incorporated herein 
by reference.

     The interim financial statements herein reflect, in the opinion of the
Company, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial information for the period presented. These statements include
certain expenses relating to the sale of the Company including approximately $7
million of compensation expense resulting from the settlement of stock options
and other related expenses by DESI pursuant to the acquisition. The 1998
interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the remainder of the year.

        Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Income assume that the acquisition of Donnelley Enterprise Solutions, 
Incorporated  ("DESI") had occurred on January 1, 1997, combining the
consolidated results of Bowne and Co., Inc. and subsidiaries ("Bowne") and DESI
for the year ended December 31, 1997 and six months ended June 30, 1998. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1998
reflects the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 1998. The pro forma
information is derived from the historical financial statements of Bowne and 
DESI, after giving effect to the acquisition using the purchase method of
accounting and assumptions and adjustments considered appropriate by Bowne,
certain of which are described in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocation of purchase price
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been made using estimated
fair values that include values based on independent appraisals and management
estimates. These estimates may be subject to adjustment to reflect actual
amounts, primarily in the case of accrued liabilities. Any subsequent
adjustments are expected to occur by the Company's 1998 year-end and are not
expected to be material. On August 27, 1998, Bowne and DESI completed the sale
of the assets of LANSystems, a separate operating division of DESI. The pro
forma financial information gives effect to the closing of the sale of
LANSystems, including the effect of certain post-closing adjustments, to the
initial purchase price of DESI. The pro forma information is provided for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations or financial condition that actually would have been obtained if the
acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated or of the operating results
that may be obtained in the future.             

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information should
be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements, and the related
notes thereto, of Bowne and DESI. The historical financial statements of DESI
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for each of the years in the three year 
period ending December 31, 1997 and the related notes thereto, and the 
historical financial statements of DESI as of and for the six month period
ended June 30, 1998 and the related notes thereto are included herein. The
historical financial statements of Bowne  and the related notes thereto as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1997 and as of and for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1998 and the related notes thereto, have been previously filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
