NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1994, the related consolidated
statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
1994 and 1993 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 are unaudited; in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial
statements have been included.  Such adjustments consisted only of normal
recurring items.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for
a full year.

   The financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with
instructions for Form 10-Q, and do not contain certain information included in
the Company's annual financial statements and notes.

2. Effective January 1, 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities."  As a result, the carrying value of the Company's marketable
securities was reduced to reflect market value.   The Company classifies all
marketable securities as available for sale.   Accordingly, the reduction of
$1,757,000 as of June 30, 1994 is recorded as a component of shareholders'
equity.

3. Effective January 1, 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits."  SFAS 112 requires the Company to accrue the estimated cost of post
employment benefit payments during the years in which employees provide
services.  The adoption of SFAS 112 did not have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

4. During the second quarter of 1994, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock of  National Revenue Corporation,  which is included in the
Electronic Payment Systems Division, and T-Maker, Inc., which is included in the
Business Systems Division, for a combined total of $37 million.  The Company
recorded these acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting.  These
acquisitions did not have a material proforma impact on operations.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 COMPARED TO SIX  MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1993

Net sales were $842.3 million for the first six months of 1994, up 9.6% over the
first six months of 1993, when sales were $768.6 million.  The Payment Systems
segment revenue for the first six months of 1994 decreased 2.8% from the first
six months of 1993. A decline in revenue due to a slight decline in check
printing orders from financial institutions (FIs) and continued price
competition in the FI market was offset by a 23.8% increase in revenue from the
Company's electronic payment systems subsidiaries.

Deluxe's Business Systems segment posted a 51.6%  increase in revenue for the
first six months of 1994 over the first six months of 1993 primarily due to the
contribution of PaperDirect, Inc., which the Company acquired in the third
quarter of 1993, and the growth of the Company's Canadian and United Kingdom
operations.  Revenue for the Consumer Specialty Products segment increased 29.6%
as a result of Current's strong sales in its social expressions and direct mail
check printing product lines.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $70.8 million or 31.3%
for the first six months of 1994 over the first six months of 1993.  The
Business Systems segment's expenses increased approximately $37.9 million
primarily due to the acquisition of PaperDirect, Inc.  Also, the Consumer
Specialty Products segment increased its selling expense by approximately $19.5
million, primarily due to increased advertising.  Net income was  $67.6 million
for the first six months of 1994, or 8.0% of sales, compared to $54.0 million
for the first six months of 1993 or 7.0%  of sales.  1993 net income includes a
one-time, pretax charge of $60 million for costs related to the restructuring of
the Check Printing division taken in the second quarter of 1993.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1993

Net sales were $412.3 million for the second quarter of 1994, up 13.6% over the
second quarter of 1993, when sales were $362.9 million.  The second quarter
Payment Systems segment's revenue was approximately the same as the second
quarter of 1993.  A decline in revenue from financial institutions (FIs) due to
continued price competition in the FI market was offset by a 29.1% increase in
revenue from the Company's electronic payment systems subsidiaries.

Deluxe's Business Systems segment posted a 65.1% increase in revenue in the
second quarter of 1994 over second quarter 1993 primarily due to the
contribution of PaperDirect, Inc., which the Company acquired in the third
quarter of 1993, and the growth of the Company's Canadian and United Kingdom
operations.  Revenue for the Consumer Specialty Products segment increased 42.4%
as a result of Current's strong sales in its social expressions and direct mail
check printing product lines.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $40.1 million or 36.8% in
second quarter 1994 over second quarter 1993.  The Business Systems segment's
expenses increased approximately $21.8 million primarily due to the acquisition
of PaperDirect, Inc.  Also, the Consumer Specialty Products segment increased
its selling expense by approximately $9.5 million, primarily due to increased
advertising.  Net income was  $29.6 million in the second quarter of 1994, or
7.2% of sales, compared to $2.2 million in 1993 or 0.6% of sales.  Second
quarter 1993 net income includes a one-time, pretax charge of $60 million for
costs related to the restructuring of the Check Printing division.

FINANCIAL CONDITION - LIQUIDITY

Cash provided by operations was $60.9 million for the first six months of 1994,
compared with $100.6 million for the first six months of 1993.  This represents
the Company's primary source of working capital for financing capital
expenditures, acquisitions, and paying cash dividends.  The decline in 1994 is
primarily the result of cash payments related to the 1993 restructuring of the
Company's financial institution check printing operations.  The Company's
working capital on June 30, 1994 was $177.9 million, compared to  $224.5 million
on December 31, 1993.  The decrease in 1994 is primarily the result of the
acquisitions of National Revenue Corporation and T-Maker, Inc..   The current
ratio was 1.7 to 1 on June 30, 1994 and 1.8 to 1 on December 31, 1993.

Financial Condition - Capital Resources


Purchases of property, plant, and equipment totaled  $47.6 million for the first
six months of 1994, compared to $39.0 million one year ago.  The Company
anticipates total capital expenditures of approximately $85 million in 1994 for
new electronic payment system investments, further enhancements to printing
capabilities, and additional production facilities for the manufacturing of its
new water-washable ink, Printwise.

In February 1991, the Company issued $100 million in notes payable under its
1989 registration of $150 million in debt securities.  The Company also has
available unsecured bank lines of credit of $55 million should current cash
resources and cash provided by operations prove to be inadequate.  The Company
may incur additional borrowings during the remainder of the year to finance
acquisitions.

Cash dividends totaled $59.5 million for the first six months of 1994 compared
to $58.5 million for the first six months of 1993.
