To the Participants and Administrator of
Business Records Corporation 401(k)
Retirement Savings Plan and Trust


In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index 
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan 
benefits of the Business Records Corporation 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan 
and Trust at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets 
available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1994 in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are 
the responsibility of the plan's management; our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our 
audit of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit 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, assessing 
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, 
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that 
our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in the 
supplemental schedules is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is 
not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional 
information required by ERISA.  Such information has been subjected to the 
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the Business Records Corporation 401(k) Retirement
Savings Plan and Trust (the "Plan") provides only general information.  
Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description
of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan is a nondiscriminatory retirement and savings plan for all full-time 
and part-time employees of Business Records Corporation Holding Company and
subsidiaries (the "Company" or "BRC") who elect to participate and have 
completed at least six months of service.  Employees covered by a collective 
bargaining agreement are excluded from participation in the Plan if retirement
benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining between the employees'
representative and the employer and if the agreement does not require the
employer to include such employees in the Plan.  The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions

Participating employees may elect to make salary reduction contributions to the
Plan of up to fifteen percent of annual compensation, as defined by the Plan.
The Company is required to make minimum contributions to the Plan in an amount
equal to thirty-five percent of employee salary reduction contributions up to 
six percent of compensation.  The Company may, at its discretion, make 
additional contributions.   Employees contributing at the rate of six percent 
may elect to increase their salary reduction contributions up to an additional
nine percent, which is not matched by the Company.  Total individual employee
contributions may not exceed the maximum dollar per year limit established by
the Internal Revenue Code.

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the employer contributions made to the Plan 
for highly compensated employees.  Therefore, the limit on the maximum 
percentage of compensation of certain highly compensated employees (as defined
in Section 401(k)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code) that may be contributed to
the Plan may be decreased from time to time as the Administrative Committee
determines.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their employee contributions plus actual
earnings thereon.  Vesting of employer contributions is graduated based on 
years of continuous service.  A participant is 100% vested after five years of 
service.

Payment of Benefits

Upon termination of service, participants who are 100% vested may elect to 
receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of their accounts or 
periodic payments of substantially equal installments at least annually.

<PAGE>F-5
Expenses and Forfeitures

Forfeitures are used to reduce the Company's contributions to the Plan.  
Forfeitures were $25,613 in 1994.  For the period from January 1, 1994 through 
September 30, 1994, fees and expenses were paid by the Plan.  The Plan was 
amended October 1, 1994 and requires that the Company pay all fees and expenses
related to the Plan.

Changes

In April 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the merger of the
CMSI 401(k) Plan previously adopted by CMSI, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company,
into the Plan.  Such merger became effective September 30, 1994.  As a result 
of that merger, in October 1994, the Plan received a transfer of $6,567,948 in
cash and various fund investments, and approximately 429 participants were 
added to the Plan.  Also effective that date, Bank One, Texas N.A. was removed
as trustee of the Plan, and was replaced by First Interstate Bank of Texas
(the "Trustee").  Several plan amendments were adopted during the year.
Significant amendments to the Plan included: the merger; the shortening of the
years of service requirement for 100% vesting from seven to five years; and
the increase in the maximum contribution level for participants from ten
percent to fifteen percent of their compensation.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Basis

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles.  Since the assets are stated at market value,
unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the assets are reflected in the 
asset balances.

Investments and Investment Income

The investment in the Company's common stock is valued at the closing price of 
the stock on the last business day of the year.  Investments in the equity 
funds and the fixed income fund are valued at their quoted market prices on 
the last business day of the year.  Investments in the guaranteed investment 
contract fund are recorded at cost which approximates market value.

Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date basis.  The 
statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits includes net 
unrealized appreciation or depreciation for the year on investments held at 
the end of the year.  Any realized gain or loss on sales of investments is 
based on cost adjusted for unrealized appreciation or depreciation at the 
beginning of the year.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income from other investments is recorded as earned on the accrual basis.

Withdrawals Payable

Withdrawals payable represents amounts due to employees who have been 
terminated or have received hardship elections which are in the process of 
being paid to the participants.

<PAGE>F-6  
NOTE C - NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS

There were 1,022 participants in the Plan on December 31, 1994.

NOTE D - PLAN STATUS

The Plan complies with federal requirements under ERISA and these financial 
statements are substantially identical to those prepared for inclusion in the 
annual report to be filed with the Department of Labor.  The Internal Revenue 
Service has determined that the Plan meets the requirements of Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from federal tax under Sections 
501(a) and 401(a) of the Code.  A request has been filed with the IRS for a
determination letter relating to the merger and the plan amendments.  As of
June 26, 1995, the Company had not received a determination letter, but does
anticipate a favorable determination from the IRS.

NOTE E - INVESTMENTS

All  investments  are  held  by  the  Trustee  under  a trust  agreement dated
October 1, 1994.  The Trustee has authority for the purchase and sale of 
investments.  The Plan provides that employer and employee contributions shall
be invested in any one of five different investment funds.  The investment
funds available during the first nine months of 1994 were as follows:  BRC
Stock Fund, Equity Fund, Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund (GIC) and Fixed
Income Bond Fund.  Effective October 1, 1994, another equity fund was added to
the 401(k) plan as an additional investment option .  The objective of the
addition was to offer the participants two types of equity funds to choose
from when selecting equity as part of their overall investment strategy.
There were no material changes during the year in investment policy of the
Plan with respect to the kind of securities or other investments in which
funds held under the Plan may be invested. 

A separate account is maintained for each participant within each investment
fund.   The account balances for participants are adjusted quarterly for:  (a)
participant contributions; (b) participant's share of employer contributions;
(c) income; and (d) realized and unrealized gains and losses determined by the
percentage which the participant's account balance at the beginning of the
quarter bears to the total of all participants' account balances at that date.

NOTE F - TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

While the Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue the Plan, the 
Company, by action of the Board of Directors, may terminate the Plan.  In the 
event the Plan is terminated, the participants become fully vested and the net
assets of the trust fund are distributed to the participants in proportion to 
their account balances.
