PRELIMINARY NOTE

         The persons filing this Amendment No. 5 are (i) Tweedy, Browne Company
L.P. ("TBC"), a Delaware limited partnership, (ii) TBK Partners, L.P. ("TBK"), a
Delaware limited partnership and (iii) Vanderbilt Partners, L.P. ("Vanderbilt"),
a Delaware limited partnership. This Amendment No. 5 amends a Statement on
Schedule 13D filed by TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt dated December 21, 1993 (the
"Statement"). The filing of this Amendment No. 5 should not be deemed an
admission that TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt comprise a group within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the"Act").

         This Amendment No. 5 relates to the Common Stock, $1.00 par value (the
"Common Stock"), of Duplex Products Inc. (the "Company"), which, to the best
knowledge of the persons filing this Amendment No. 5, is a company organized
under the laws of Delaware, with its principal executive offices located at 1947
Bethany Road, Sycamore, Illinois 60178.

         This Amendment No. 5 contains information regarding shares of Common
Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TBC. Such shares are held
in the accounts of various customers of TBC, with respect to which it has
obtained sole or shared voting power.

         This Amendment No. 5 is being filed because the filing persons are no
longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(d)(3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") as a result of the disposition of
their respective shares of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer by Delaware
Acquisition Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Reynolds ("Reynolds") to
purchase all outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock for $12.00 per
share (the "Tender Offer").

         Other than as set forth below, to the best knowledge of TBC, TBK and
Vanderbilt, there has been no material change in the information set forth in
response to Items 1, 2, 3,4, 6 and 7 of the Statement, as amended. Accordingly,
those Items are omitted from this Amendment No. 5.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         (a) As of the date hereof, TBC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner
of an aggregate of 370,055 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes
approximately 4.91% of the 7,543,278 shares of Common Stock which TBC believes
to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The TBC Shares are
held in the TBC Accounts.

         As a result of the disposition of 20,000 shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the Tender Offer, TBK does not beneficially own any shares of Common
Stock.

         As a result of the disposition of 12,300 shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the Tender Offer, Vanderbilt does not benefically own any shares of
Common Stock.

         Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims that it is the beneficial
owner of any of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts. The
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which TBC, TBK and
Vanderbilt could be deemed to be the beneficial owner as of the date hereof, is
370,055 shares, which constitutes approximately 4.91% of the 7,543,278 shares of
Common Stock, which the filing persons believe to be the total number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as
an admission that TBC is the beneficial owner of any of the TBC Shares.

         The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common Stock with
respect to which each of the General Partners may be deemed to be the beneficial
owner by reason of his being a general partner of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt,
respectively, is 370,055 shares, which constitutes approximately 4.91% of the
7,543,278 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The aggregate number of shares and
percentage of Common Stock with respect to which Thomas P. Knapp may be deemed
to be a beneficial owner by reason of his being a general partner of TBK is 0
shares of Common Stock which constitutes approximately 0% of the 7,543,278
shares of Common Stock outstanding. However, nothing contained herein shall be
construed as an admission that any of the General Partners or Thomas P. Knapp is
the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock, except as set forth herein
as expressly and admittedly being beneficially owned by a particular General
Partner or Thomas P. Knapp.
<PAGE>   7
         Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims beneficial ownership of
Common Stock held by the other. Except as described herein, to the best
knowledge of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt, no person who may be deemed to comprise a
group with any of TBC, TBK, Vanderbilt, or any other person named in Item 2
hereof, beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

         (b) TBC has investment discretion with respect to 370,055 shares of
Common Stock held by the TBC Accounts and has sole power to dispose or direct
the disposition of all of such shares. Of these shares of Common Stock, TBC has
sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 357,635 shares of Common Stock
held in certain TBC Accounts.

         Each of the General Partners of TBC, solely by reason of their
positions as such, may be deemed to have (i) shared power to dispose of or to
direct the disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC
Accounts; and (ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote of 357,635 shares of
Common Stock held in certain TBC Accounts.

         TBK has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of and dispose or
direct the disposition of the TBK Shares. Each of the General Partners and
Thomas P. Knapp, solely by reason of their positions as general partners, may be
deemed to have shared power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or
direct the disposition of the TBK Shares.

         Vanderbilt has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of and
dispose or direct the disposition of the Vanderbilt Shares. Each of the General
Partners of Vanderbilt, solely by reason of their positions as such, may be
deemed to have shared power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or
