                NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENTS


   
1.   Basis of Presentation - The Pro Forma Consolidated Income Statements assume
     that the sale of PaperDirect and Social Expressions, as described in Item 2
     of this Report on Form 8-K/A-1 dated March 5, 1999, occurred as of January
     1, 1997.
    

2.   Pro Forma Adjustments:

     I.   Reflects the elimination of the PaperDirect and Social Expressions
          businesses historical results of operations, as previously included in
          the Company's consolidated statements of income.

   
     II.  Reflects the tax effects related to the elimination of PaperDirect
          and Social Expressions historical results of operations. For the nine
          months ended September 30, 1998, the effective tax rate used is the
          statutory rate of 35 percent. For the year ended December 31, 1997,
          tax expense was recalculated to reflect the actual tax impact of the
          elimination of the results of the businesses sold.

3.   No assumptions were made in the pro forma consolidated income statements
     concerning the use of the cash received in consideration for the sale of
     the businesses.

             NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET


   
1.   Basis of Presentation - The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
     assumes that the sale of PaperDirect and Social Expressions, as described
     in Item 2 of this Report on Form 8-K/A-1 dated March 5, 1999, occurred on
     September 30, 1998.
    

2.   Pro Forma Adjustments:

     I.   Reflects the sale of the Company's equity interest in PaperDirect and
          the assets of Social Expressions, as well as all costs resulting from
          the sale. Cash consideration received is shown prior to any related
          transaction costs, as such costs are assumed to be paid subsequent to
          the sale date.

     II.  Reflects the tax related to the pre-tax loss on disposal. The
          effective tax rate used is the statutory rate of 35 percent.

   
3.   Had the businesses been sold on September 30, 1998, the loss recognized
     on the sale would have been $9.6 million. The actual loss on the sale
     recognized as of December 31, 1998 was $10.5 million.
