ITEM 2.           ACQUISITION OF ASSETS.

         On July 21, 1997, the Company  acquired all of the outstanding  capital
stock of Book-mart Press, Inc.  ("Book-mart"),  a North Bergen,  New Jersey book
manufacturer  specializing  in short to medium runs of softcover  and  hardcover
books.  The  Company  paid  approximately  $12.7  million  in cash to the former
stockholders  of Book-mart for their shares of capital stock. At the time of the
closing,   Book-mart  had   approximately   $2.3  million  of  outstanding  bank
indebtedness  which  was  subsequently  paid in  full.  In  connection  with the
acquisition,  11,111  shares of Courier  common stock (based upon a valuation of
$18 per share) were issued to two key  executives of Book-mart  for  non-compete
agreements.  In  addition,  one of such  executives  was  issued  16,667  shares
(subject to a four-year  vesting  schedule)  in  connection  with an  employment
agreement. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly,
the  results  of  operations  will be  included  in the  consolidated  financial
statements from July 21, 1997 forward.

         The purchase price was determined in an  arm's-length  negotiation  and
was financed using the Company's existing credit facility with BankBoston,  N.A.
and State  Street  Bank and Trust  Company.  The  amount  available  under  this
facility was extended  from $20 million to $30 million in  contemplation  of the
transaction.   The   facility  was  also  used  by  the  Company  to  repay  the
approximately  $2.3 million of Book-mart's  existing bank debt subsequent to the
consummation of the acquisition.

         In connection  with the  acquisition,  a long-term  lease agreement for
Book-mart's  facility in New Jersey was executed by  Book-mart.  The lessor is a
corporation  owned by two of the former  stockholders of Book-mart,  one of whom
remains as a key executive of Book-mart.

         It is  intended  that  Book-mart  will  continue  to  operate as a book
manufacturer  specializing  in short to medium runs of softcover  and  hardcover
books.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Book-mart Press, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of Book-mart Press,  Inc. as of
September 30, 1996 and 1995,  and the related  statements of income and retained
earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 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.  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 financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of Book-mart  Press,  Inc. at
September  30,  1996 and 1995,  and the results of its  operations  and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

On  August  18,  1989,  Book-mart  Acquisition  Corp.  ("BMAC"),  which had been
recently formed and had no prior activity,  purchased the assets and business of
Book-mart Press, Inc. and the stock of Crown Bookbindery,  Inc. and Casebinders,
Inc.  (collectively,  the  "Acquired  Companies")  for a total  purchase  price,
including acquisition costs, of $11,070,000.  Immediately  thereafter,  BMAC and
the Acquired  Companies  merged and  Casebinders,  Inc., the surviving  company,
changed its name to Book-mart Press,  Inc. (the  "Company").  The purchase price
was financed by $9,250,000 in loans which have either been repaid or refinanced,
and an equity contribution of $1,250,000.  The owners of the Acquired Companies,
who were the management, purchased a 45% equity interest in the Company.

The Company  allocated  the purchase  price of the acquired  business  among its
assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values.  The excess of the
cost of the acquired net assets over their fair values was recorded as goodwill.
In  allocating  the  purchase  price of the business  among its net assets,  the
difference between the fair values and the business'  historical recorded values
of the net  assets has been  proportionately  reduced  by  $3,153,943  with such
amount being charged against the Company's  shareholders'  equity as a carryover
basis adjustment.  Such amount represents the difference  between the fair value
of  continuing  management's  interest in the business  acquired and  continuing
management's 45% predecessor basis in such business.

The Company is engaged in the  business of  printing  and binding  hard and soft
cover books for  customers  located  throughout  the United  States.  Management
evaluates credit of its customers on a continuing basis.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company  maintains  its cash  primarily in two financial  institutions.  The
Company  considers all highly liquid  financial  instruments  with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The  Company's  accounts  receivable  are due  primarily  from  customers in the
publishing and printing industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of
the customer's financial  condition,  and generally does not require collateral.
Credit losses have been immaterial.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

     Cash and cash  equivalents:  The carrying  amounts  reported in the balance
     sheets for these instruments approximated their fair values.

     Term loan: The carrying amount of the Company's term loan  approximates its
     fair value as the  interest  rate on such debt  fluctuates  upon changes in
     underlying  market  rates and  there is a  relatively  short  period to its
     maturity.

     Revolving  line  of  credit-bank:  The  carrying  amount  of the  Company's
     borrowing under its revolving line of credit approximates its fair value as
     the interest rate on such debt fluctuates upon changes in underlying market
     rates.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

At August 18, 1989, equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements
were  recorded  at their  appraised  values  adjusted  for the  carryover  basis
adjustment as part of the allocation of the total purchase price.

Property,  plant and equipment acquired  subsequent to August 18, 1989 have been
recorded at cost.  The Company  depreciates  or  amortizes  property,  plant and
equipment on a straight-line  basis over their estimated lives ranging from five
to ten years.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible  assets  consists  of  values  assigned  to  noncompete   agreements,
negatives,  process set-up,  customer lists and deferred financing costs and are
being amortized over lives ranging from three to twenty years.

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the amount by which the costs of the acquired assets exceeds
the values assigned to the net tangible and identifiable  intangible  assets and
is being  amortized  over 40  years.  For the year  ended  September  30,  1995,
goodwill was reduced by $301,000,  to reflect the  allocation  of the income tax
benefits  from  the   utilization   of   pre-acquisition   net  operating   loss
carryforwards and deductible temporary  differences in the bases of the acquired
assets.

INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES PAID

Interest paid for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was  approximately
$1,116,000 and $2,327,000,  respectively.  Income taxes paid for the years ended
September   30,  1996  and  1995  was   approximately   $646,000  and  $665,000,
respectively.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

SUBORDINATED NOTE

In connection  with the borrowing  under a Subordinated  Note in 1989 (repaid in
1995), the noteholder  received warrants to purchase 250 shares of the Company's
common stock. The warrants were valued at $250,000 which was treated as original
issue discount on the Subordinated  Note and was recorded as additional  paid-in
capital.  Each  warrant  entitled  the holder  thereof to purchase  one share of
Common Stock of the Company at a purchase  price of $.01  subject to  adjustment
under antidilution provisions. Pursuant to a December 1, 1994 agreement with the
noteholder,  and in connection with the repayment of the subordinated  note, the
amount of common stock  issuable upon exercise of the warrants was reduced to 81
shares.  The Company valued the portion of the warrants  repurchased at $12,500.
The warrants  expire on February 18, 1999. The Company has reserved 81 shares of
its unissued shares of common stock for the exercise of the warrants.

TERM LOAN AND REVOLVER

On December 1, 1994,  the Company  refinanced the  Subordinated  Note with a new
Term Loan and revolving line of credit (the "Revolver").  The repayment resulted
in an extraordinary loss of $54,471.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)

On March 27, 1996,  the original  loan  agreement was amended.  The  outstanding
balance of the Term Loan was  increased  to  $2,700,000  payable at $125,000 per
month. The Company has prepaid a portion of the Term Loan. The maximum borrowing
under the Revolver, as amended, is $2,000,000 or the borrowing base, as defined.
The Revolver expires on March 31, 1999, at which time the outstanding balance is
payable in full.

At management's  discretion,  the Term Loan and the Revolver,  as amended,  bear
interest  at: 1) .75% plus the higher of a) the federal  funds rate plus 1/2% or
b) the prime rate,  payable  monthly,  or 2) LIBOR plus 2.50% payable monthly or
quarterly  based on the interest  period  selected.  The interest rate decreases
upon specified  repayments and the existence of certain conditions,  as defined.
The  interest  rates at  September  30,  1996 and 1995 were  7.94%  and  9.125%,
respectively.

The Term Loan and the Revolver are secured by all of the assets of the Company.

The Term Loan and the Revolver place  restrictions on the ability of the Company
to incur additional indebtedness.  Additionally,  restrictions are placed on the
amount of dividends which may be declared by the Company,  the  consolidation or
merger of the Company's  assets with another entity,  capital  expenditures  and
other  transactions.  The Term Loan and the  Revolver  require  the  Company  to
maintain certain levels of financial ratios  including  interest  coverage ratio
(as defined), current ratio (as defined) and tangible net worth (as defined).

JUNIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

On June 25, 1991, the Company's landlord,  2001 Realty Corp., a company owned by
certain management shareholders of the Company, converted past due rent payments
into the Company's  Junior  Subordinated A Note.  Interest  accrued monthly at a
rate of 13% per annum and was added to  principal.  In addition,  the  Company's
landlord  deferred a portion of rent payments  ($17,000 each month through March
31, 1995 and $24,050  each month from April 1, 1995  through  December 31, 1995)
for which the Company issued additional Junior Subordinated B Notes.

4. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

Deferred  income  taxes  reflect  the net tax effects of  temporary  differences
between the carrying  amounts of assets and liabilities for financial  reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax  purposes.  At September  30, 1996,
temporary  differences  that give rise to deferred tax liabilities  consisted of
tax  depreciation in excess of book. At September 30, 1995,  deferred tax assets

        NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BOOK-MART PRESS, INC.

A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The condensed balance sheet as of June

have been  recorded.  Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally
included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and
related  notes of  Book-mart  Press,  Inc.  ("Book-mart")  for the  years  ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, which appear elsewhere in this report.

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited  pro forma  condensed  combined  financial  information  presented
herein gives effect to the Company's acquisition of all of the outstanding stock
of Book-mart Press,  Inc.,  ("Book-mart")  which was completed on July 21, 1997.
The pro  forma  financial  information  is  based  on the  historical  financial
statements of the Company and  Book-mart.  The Company's  fiscal year end is the
last Saturday of September and Book-mart has a September 30 year end.

The acquisition of Book-mart has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.  Accordingly,  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed have been
recorded  at  their  estimated  fair  values,   which  are  subject  to  further
adjustment,   based  upon  appraisals  and  other  analyses,   with  appropriate
recognition  given to the  effect of the  Company's  borrowing  rates and income
taxes.  Management  does not expect that the final  allocation  of the  purchase
price  for  the  acquisition  of  Book-mart  will  differ  materially  from  the
allocations set forth in the unaudited pro forma financial information presented
herein.

The unaudited  pro forma  condensed  combined  balance sheet as of June 28, 1997
gives effect to the  acquisition  of Book-mart as if it had been  consummated on
June 28, 1997.  This balance  sheet  combines the unaudited  historical  balance
sheets at June 28, 1997 for the Company and June 30, 1997 for Book-mart.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements for the year ended
September  28, 1996 gives  effect to the  acquisition  of Book-mart as if it had
been  consummated on October 1, 1995. This pro forma income  statement  combines
the income  statement  for the year ended  September 28, 1996 of the Company and
the income statement for the year ended September 30, 1996 of Book-mart.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements for the nine months
ended June 28, 1997 gives  effect to the  acquisition  of Book-mart as if it had
been  consummated  on  September  29,  1996.  This pro  forma  condensed  income
statement combines the unaudited income statement for the nine months ended June
28, 1997 of the Company and the unaudited  income  statement for the nine months
ended June 30, 1997 of Book-mart.

The pro forma  adjustments are based upon available  information and assumptions
that  management  believes are  reasonable.  The unaudited  pro forma  condensed
combined  financial  statements do not purport to present the financial position
or results  of  operations  of the  Company  had the  acquisition  of  Book-mart
occurred on the dates  specified,  nor are they  necessarily  indicative  of the
results of  operations  that may be achieved in the future.  The  unaudited  pro
forma condensed combined statements of income do not reflect any adjustments for
synergies that management expects to realize commencing upon consummation of the
acquisition.  No  assurances  can be made as to the  amount of cost  savings  or
revenue enhancements, if any, that actually will be realized.
