                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The consolidated balance sheet as of  September 30, 1994, the related
     consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month
     periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 and the consolidated statements
     of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
     are unaudited; in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for
     a fair presentation of such financial statements are included.  Such
     adjustments consist 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 $1,457,000 as of September  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."  Under SFAS 112 the Company accrues 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 third quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a $10 million credit
     to reduce its restructuring reserve.  The restructuring reserve was
     established in 1993 when the Company recorded a $60 million charge (reduced
     to  $49 million in the 4th quarter of 1993) in connection with a formal
     restructuring plan for the closure of 16 of its check printing plants.  As
     of September 30, 1994, the Company had closed 15 of the 16 plants.  Certain
     costs included in the 1993 charge were not incurred.  The $6.2 million
     balance of the reserve at September 30, 1994 represents specifically
     identified, incremental  employee severance and asset impairment and
     disposal costs to be incurred as a result of the closings.

5.   During the third quarter of 1994, the Company acquired all of the
     outstanding stock of Software Partnership Limited, which is included in the
     Electronic Payment Systems Division, for $15.8 million.  The Company
     recorded the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. The
     acquisition did not have a material proforma impact on operations.

6.   The Company has uncommitted bank lines of credit of $155 million available
     at variable interest rates.  As of September 30, 1994, $18 million was
     drawn on those lines at an interest rate of 5.13%.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 COMPARED TO NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1993

Net sales were $1,269.0 million for the first nine months of 1994, up 11.3% over
the first nine months of 1993, when sales were $1,140.6 million.  The Payment
Systems segment revenue for the first nine months of 1994 decreased 0.3% from
the first nine months of 1993 due to continued price competition in the
financial institution (FI)  market.  This decline was offset by a 31.4% increase
in revenue from the Company's Electronic Payment Systems division.

Deluxe's Business Systems segment posted a 54.5%  increase in revenue for the
first nine months of 1994 over the first nine 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 of the Consumer Specialty Products segment increased 25.4%
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 $115.3 million or 33.7%
for the first nine months of 1994 over the first nine months of 1993.  The
Business Systems segment's expenses increased approximately $58.1 million
primarily due to the acquisition of PaperDirect, Inc.  Also, the Consumer
Specialty Products segment increased its selling expense by approximately $26.0
million, primarily due to increased advertising.  The remaining increase is due
to increases in costs associated with acquisitions, international operations and
re-engineering projects.  Net income was  $100.9 million for the first nine
months of 1994, or 8.0% of sales, compared to $91.0 million for the first nine
months of 1993 or 8.0% 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.  During the third quarter
of 1994 the Company recorded a $10 million credit to reduce its 1993
restructuring charge, as certain of the costs included in the charge were not
incurred.

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

Net sales were $426.7 million for the third quarter of 1994, up 14.7% over the
third quarter of 1993, when sales were $372.0 million.  The third quarter
Payment Systems segment's revenue increased 5.1% over the third quarter of 1993.
A 45.8% increase in revenue from the Company's Electronic Payment Systems
division was partially offset by a decline in revenue  due to continued price
competition in the FI market.

Deluxe's Business Systems segment posted a 60.6% increase in revenue in the
third quarter of 1994 over third quarter 1993 primarily due to the contribution
of PaperDirect, Inc., which the Company acquired in the third quarter of 1993,
T-Maker Inc., which the company acquired in the second quarter of 1994, and the
growth of the Company's Canadian and United Kingdom operations.  Revenue for the
Consumer Specialty Products segment increased 17.6% 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 $44.5 million or 38.3% in
third quarter 1994 over third quarter 1993.  The Business Systems segment's
expenses increased approximately $20.2 million primarily due to the acquisition
of PaperDirect, Inc.  Also, the Consumer Specialty Products segment increased
its selling expense by approximately $6.4 million, primarily due to increased
advertising.  The remaining increase is due to increases in costs associated
with acquisitions, international operations and re-engineering projects.  Net
income was  $33.3 million in the third quarter of 1994, or 7.8% of sales,
compared to $37.0 million in 1993 or 10.0% of sales.

FINANCIAL CONDITION - LIQUIDITY

Cash provided by operations was $112.9 million for the first nine months of
1994, compared with $150.2 million for the first nine 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 September 30, 1994 was $153.6 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, T-Maker, Inc., and Software
Partnership.   The current ratio was 1.5 to 1 on September 30, 1994 and 1.8 to 1
on December 31, 1993.

FINANCIAL CONDITION - CAPITAL RESOURCES

Purchases of property, plant, and equipment totaled  $74.2 million for the first
nine months of 1994, compared to $51.4 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 of notes, payable in 2001
under its 1989 shelf registration of debt securities.  Additional long-term
borrowings could be secured in the event the Company makes a significant
acquisition.  Such borrowings could include medium or long-term notes.

In addition, the Company has uncommitted bank lines of credit of $155 million.
As of September 30, 1994, $18 million was drawn on those lines.  The Company may
secure additional short-term financing to fund acquisitions.  Such financings
could include committed lines of credit and a commercial paper program.
Borrowings under these financings would be dependent upon favorable short-term
interest rates.

Cash dividends totaled $90.0 million for the first nine months of 1994 compared
to $88.2 million for the first nine months of 1993.
