        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
  Note 1. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are
unaudited (although the balance sheet at December 31, 1993 is condensed from
the audited balance sheet at that date) and have been prepared by the company
to conform with the requirements applicable to this quarterly report on Form
10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, have been omitted as permitted by such requirements. However, the
company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
the related notes included in the company's 1993 annual report on Form 10-K.
 
  The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect, in
the opinion of the company, all adjustments (which include only normal,
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial information
for such periods.
 
  Note 2. Because the inventory determination under the LIFO method can only be
made at year-end based on the current inventory levels and costs, interim LIFO
determinations, including that at March 31, 1994, must necessarily be based on
management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Since
future estimates of inventory levels and costs are subject to many forces
beyond the control of management, interim financial results are subject to
final year-end LIFO inventory amounts. Components of total net inventories at
March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 were as follows:

  Note 4. At March 31, 1994, the company continues to have two existing, unused
revolving credit facilities totaling $550 million with a number of banks. These
credit facilities provide support for the issuance of commercial paper and
other credit needs. As of March 31, 1994, the company continues to have
effective shelf registration statements permitting it to issue from time to
time up to $500 million of debt securities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
      OF OPERATIONS
 
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION
 
  With the growth in cash flow and the credit facilities and shelf registration
discussed below, management believes the company has the financial flexibility
to fund current operations and growth. Excluding the restructuring charge taken
in the first quarter of 1993, net income from operations before cumulative
effect of accounting changes plus depreciation and amortization was $119
million, compared to $105 million in 1993. Cash flow from operations was used
primarily to fund capital investments and pay dividends.
 
  Working capital increased by $57 million from December 31, 1993, due to
increased inventories that resulted from recent acquisitions, as well as
increased quantities to support 1994 revenue growth, and reduced payables and
accrued compensation reflecting the payment of year-end balances.
 
  During the first quarter of 1994, capital investments totaled $127 million.
Full-year capital investment is estimated to be $450 million, reflecting
continued investment to expand and upgrade operations, including new equipment
to meet the growing needs of present and new customers; expansion of
manufacturing facilities; and joint venture investments.
 
  At March 31, 1994, the company continues to have two unused revolving credit
facilities totaling $550 million with a number of banks. These credit
facilities provide support for the issuance of commercial paper and other
credit needs. As of March 31, 1994, the company continues to have effective
shelf registration statements permitting it to issue from time to time up to
$500 million in debt securities.
 
CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF FIRST QUARTER 1994 TO FIRST
QUARTER 1993
 
  Net sales increased 11.5% above the prior year reflecting increased volume of
services provided to customers through the company's global expansion into new
markets and recent acquisitions. Strong demand for global software services,
book publishing services and financial printing services continued in 1994
combined with volume increases in new products (free-standing inserts,
specialty products and special interest magazines). Catalog and newspaper
insert production levels improved in spite of lower Sears volume resulting from
the decision by Sears to discontinue its catalog operations early in 1993.
 
  The gross profit increase of 10.9% was slightly lower than the net sales
increase principally reflecting increased depreciation and amortization
expense, a higher LIFO provision and increased start-up expenses resulting from
recent investments to enter new markets and expand globally. Selling and
administrative expenses were higher than the prior year as a result of new
operations and global expansion but grew at 10.9%, less than the 11.5% growth
in sales. The 1993 first quarter loss from operations included a $90 million
restructuring charge related primarily to the closing of the company's Chicago
manufacturing facility following the decision by Sears to discontinue its
catalog operations. Excluding this charge, earnings from operations increased
10.9% as a result of higher sales and a more favorable sales mix. Other
expense-net was up $2 million from the prior year resulting from higher
interest expense (due to larger commercial paper balances and higher interest
rates) and lower investment income. The effective tax rate of 32% in 1994 was
lower than the first quarter 1993 rate of 32.5% reflecting benefits associated
with life insurance programs and credits associated with affordable housing
investments, partially offset by the impact of the higher federal statutory
income tax rate. During the first quarter of 1993, in addition to the
restructuring charge, the company recognized one-time amounts related to the
adoption of two required accounting standards for postretirement benefits (a
net-of-tax charge of $127.7 million) and income taxes (a credit of $58.2
million). Excluding the one-time items reflected in the first quarter of 1993,
net income increased by 10.6%, reflecting the volume increases and the
favorable tax rate.
