               JOHN H. HARLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
          NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         September 30, 1994
                           (Unaudited) 
                                                                    
1.   Basis of Presentation 

    The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report 
    are unaudited but reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal 
    recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary 
    for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position 
    and cash flows of the John H. Harland Company and subsidiaries ("the 
    Company") for the interim periods reflected. Certain information and 
    footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared 
    in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been 
    omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities 
    and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim 
    period reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be 
    expected for the full year.

2.   Accounting Policies 

    The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should 
    be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and 
    notes thereto, and the Independent Auditors' Report included in the 
    Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 
    1993.

    Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in 
    the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 
    Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993. The 
    Company has consistently followed those policies in preparing this 
    report.

3.   Acquisitions

    On January 1, 1993, the Company completed the acquisition of 
    substantially all the net assets of the Denver-based Rocky Mountain Bank 
    Note Company ("RMBN") for cash of $37.9 million and acquisition related 
    costs of approximately $8.9 million. The purchase was funded through 
    short-term borrowings of $18.0 million and internally generated funds. 
    The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, 
    the acquired net assets and operations have been included in the 
    consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Assets 
    acquired totaled $46.8 million, net of liabilities assumed of $2.0 
    million. Of the total acquisition costs, $25.7 million was allocated to 
    intangible assets of which $10.7 million represented goodwill.
    
    On January 7, 1994, the Company acquired Marketing Profiles, Inc. 
    ("MPI") for cash paid at closing and a contingent purchase payment 
    payable in 1997 to the former MPI shareholders. The contingent purchase 
    payment is based upon a multiple of MPI's 1996 operating results as 
    defined in the acquisition agreement. MPI is based in Orlando, Florida 
    and is a database marketing and consulting company which provides 
    software products and related marketing services to the financial 

<PAGE>




    industry.

    On March 31, 1994, the Company acquired the net assets of FormAtion 
    Technologies, Inc. ("FTI") for cash paid at closing and a contingent 
    purchase payment payable in 1997 to the FTI shareholders. The contingent 
    purchase payment is based upon a multiple of FTI's operating results 
    during the three year period ending in 1996 as defined in the 
    acquisition agreement. FTI is based in Denver, Colorado and develops, 
    markets and supports lending and platform automation software for the 
    financial industry.

    On September 30, 1994, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Scantron
    Corporation, acquired the net assets of Financial Products Corporation
    ("FPC") for cash paid at closing. FPC is based in Omaha, Nebraska and is
    a provider of installation, maintenance and repair services for a broad
    variety of computers, peripherals, networks and operating systems.  FPC
    serves financial, commercial, government and medical markets.

    The MPI, FTI and FPC acquisitions have been accounted for using the 
    purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of 
    operations of each acquisition are included in the consolidated 
    financial statements from the date of acquisition. The cash paid for 
    these acquisitions totaled $64,150,000 which was funded with a portion 
    of the proceeds received in the December 1993 issuance of long-term 
    debt, proceeds from short-term borrowings and from internally generated 
    funds. Based on preliminary estimates, goodwill totaled $53,042,000 
    which will be amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging 
    from 10 to 25 years. Subsequent contingent purchase payments will be 
    recorded as an increase in goodwill and will be amortized over the 
    remaining life of the goodwill at the time of payment.

    The following pro forma financial information assumes the MPI, FTI and 
    FPC acquisitions occurred on January 1, 1993. These results include 
    certain adjustments, primarily increased amortization of intangible 
    assets, increased interest expense and other appropriate adjustments (in 
    thousands, except per share amounts):
    
                                          Nine Months Ended September 30,
                                                  1994          1993

    Net income per common share                     1.28          1.21        

    The pro forma financial information presented above does not purport to 
    be indicative of either the results of operations that would have 
    occurred had the acquisitions taken place at the beginning of the 
    periods presented or of future consolidated results of operations.

4.   Investments

    As of January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115, entitled 
    "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". 
    Investments classified as available for sale are carried at cost which 
    approximates market. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 115 was not

                                                =========       =========

    On August 10, 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA 
    '93") was signed into law by the President. The OBRA '93 increased the 
    corporate tax rate from 34% to 35% as well as made other changes to 
    corporate tax law. Pursuant to SFAS 109, the Company recorded the 
    cumulative effect of the changes on current and deferred income taxes as 
    a result of the OBRA '93 during the third quarter of 1993.

6.   Employee Stock Plans 

    The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which employees 
    are granted an option to purchase shares of the Company's common stock 
    during the quarter in which the option is granted. The option price is 
    85% of the fair market value of the stock at the beginning or end of the 
    quarter, whichever is lower. In the quarter ended September 30, 1994, 
    options representing 56,108 shares were exercised at a price of $17.69 
    per share. At September 30, 1994, there were 513,180 shares reserved for 
    purchase under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  

    The Company has incentive and non-qualified stock option plans ("Plans") 
    which provide for the granting of options to certain key employees of 
    the Company to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the fair 
    market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Option 
    transactions for the three months ended September 30, 1994 are as 
    follows: 

                                                Shares     Exercise Price
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

                                              =========
    The options generally become exercisable one year from the date of the 
    grant. At September 30, 1994, there were 310,789 options exercisable and 
    678,944 shares reserved for options under the Plans.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third Quarter 1994 compared with Third Quarter 1993

Consolidated net sales decreased $768,000 or 0.6% over the same period in 
1993. The Company's Financial Services Group ("FSG") had a sales decrease of 
$7,816,000 or 6.9% which consisted of a 10.8% decrease in units and a 
positive price/mix of 3.9%.  FSG units were impacted by the loss of business 
with one large customer and by a reduction of business under contract with 
another large customer, although the business retained was renewed at more 
favorable pricing. The positive FSG price/mix is attributable to several 
items including a general price increase effective in December 1993, the 
previously mentioned loss of business which was priced at greater discount 
than average and some favorably priced one-time conversion business which 
was produced during the quarter. However, the price component of FSG's 
price/mix continues to be under pressure due to competitive conditions in 
the check printing industry. Sales for the Company's Data Services Group 
("DSG") decreased $1,588,000 or 9.4% over 1993 primarily due to a decrease 
in its sales to educational markets and lower sales in Europe. DSG's sales 
in commercial markets increased primarily due to increased maintenance 
services and other revenues related to new products and services which were 
introduced during 1993 and 1994. The Company's Information Services Group 
("ISG"), which consists of Marketing Profiles Inc. ("MPI") acquired in 
January 1994 and FormAtion Technologies, Inc. ("FTI") acquired at the end of 
March 1994, contributed $7,594,000 to consolidated net sales for the 1994 
period. The Check Store, Inc. ("The Check Store"), which markets checks and 
related products directly to consumers, began production operations during 
the second quarter of 1994 and contributed slightly more than $1,000,000 to 
the Company's consolidated sales for the third quarter. 

Consolidated cost of goods sold decreased $6,925,000 or 9.5% from 1993 and 
decreased as a percentage of sales from 56.2% in 1993 to 51.2% in 1994. As a 
percentage of its sales, FSG's cost of goods improved from 57.2% in 1993 to 
52.1% in 1994. The FSG margin improvement is attributable to cost reductions 
gained from consolidations of imprint and base stock facilities. FSG is also 
beginning to realize efficiency increases resulting from process improvement 
efforts initiated in 1994. DSG's cost of goods sold declined as a percentage 
of its sales from 49.5% in 1993 to 45.5% in 1994. Cost control improvements 
and increases in sales of higher margin products are the primary reasons for 
DSG's gross margin improvement. Cost of goods sold for ISG and The Check 
Store totaled $4,139,000 for the 1994 third quarter. 

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased by 
$4,058,000 or 13.8%, and increased as a percentage of sales from 22.6% in 
1993 to 25.9% in 1994. Major components of the increase were expenses from 
acquired operations (MPI and FTI) as well as marketing costs associated with 
The Check Store.  
 
Amortization of intangibles, principally resulting from acquisitions, 
increased $1,471,000 or 67.7%, and increased as a percentage of sales from 

<PAGE>




1.7% in 1993 to 2.8% in 1994. This increase is attributable to the 
acquisitions of MPI and FTI in January 1994 and March 1994, respectively.

Other income (expense) increased from a net expense of $859,000 in 1993 to a 
net expense of $1,702,000 in 1994. This increase is principally due to 
interest expense associated with the Company's issuance of $100,000,000 in 
long-term debt in December 1993 at an annual interest rate of 6.6%.

Income before income taxes decreased $265,000 or 1.2% and decreased as a 
percentage of sales from 17.0% in 1993 to 16.9% in 1994. The Company's 
consolidated effective income tax rate for the 1994 period was 39.8% 
compared to 39.7% in 1993.

Year to Date 1994 compared with Year to Date 1993

Consolidated net sales decreased $2,456,000 or 0.6% over the same period in 
1993. FSG sales decreased $21,878,000 or 6.2% which consisted of a unit 
decrease of 8.2% and a positive price/mix of 2.0%. The loss of several 
former Rocky Mountain Bank Note ("RMBN") accounts, which had been 
anticipated when the Company acquired RMBN in January 1993, in addition to 
the reasons previously discussed in the analysis of the third quarter 
results are the primary reasons for the FSG unit decrease. DSG sales 
decreased $450,000 or 1.1% when compared to the 1993 period. ISG and the 
Check Store contributed $19,872,000 to consolidated net sales for the 1994 
period.

Consolidated cost of goods sold decreased $15,355,000 or 7.1% from the same 
period in 1993 and as a percentage of sales decreased from 55.4% in 1993 to 
51.8% in 1994. FSG's cost of goods sold decreased as a percentage of its 
sales from 55.6% in 1993 to 52.0% in 1994. DSG experienced an improvement in 
cost of goods sold as a percentage of its sales, from 51.9% in 1993 to 50.0% 
in 1994. Cost of goods sold for ISG and The Check Store totaled $9,899,000 
for the 1994 period. 

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased by 
$7,276,000 or 7.7%, and increased as a percentage of sales from 24.0% in 
1993 to 26.0% in 1994. Major components of the increase were expenses 
resulting from acquired operations (MPI and FTI) as well as marketing costs 
associated with The Check Store. These increases were offset by FSG's 
decreased selling, general and administrative expenses primarily as a result 
of the consolidation of selling and administrative functions of RMBN.

Principally due to the acquisitions of MPI and FTI, amortization of 
intangibles increased $3,439,000 over 1993 and increased as a percentage of 
sales from 1.7% in 1993 to 2.5% in 1994. 

Other income (expense) increased from a net expense of $1,479,000 in 1993 to 
a net expense of $4,917,000 in 1994. This increase is principally due to 
interest expense associated with the Company's issuance of $100,000,000 in 
long-term debt in December 1993 at an annual interest rate of 6.6%.

Income before income taxes decreased $1,406,000 or 2.1% and decreased as a 
percentage of sales from 16.8% in 1993 to 16.6% in 1994. The consolidated 
effective tax rate for the 1994 period was 39.8% versus 38.7% in 1993.  The 
primary factors contributing to the increase in the consolidated effective

income tax rate are impacts of OBRA '93, along with certain non-deductible 
amortization of intangible assets associated with acquired businesses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash flows from operating activities for the nine month period ended 
September 30, 1994 totaled $86,132,000 compared to $79,209,000 for the 
comparable period in 1993. At September 30, 1994 the Company had $30,333,000 
in consolidated working capital including $11,534,000 of cash and cash 
equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $14,690,000 during the 
first nine months of 1994. 

Primary uses of funds during the nine month period ended September 30, 1994 
were to acquire MPI, FTI and FPC, expenditures for property, plant and 
equipment and disbursements of dividends to the Company's shareholders. 
Additionally, the Company made an equity investment of $2,000,000 in 
Bottomline Technologies, Inc., a New Hampshire-based company which is a 
leading provider of desktop laser software and hardware for issuing magnetic 
ink encoded financial documents. 

Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $28,829,000 for the nine 
month period ended September 30, 1994, compared with $17,715,000 for the 
comparable period in 1993. This increase is primarily attributable to 
equipment purchased to improve FSG production processes and a property 
located in Denver, Colorado. The Company estimates that its capital 
expenditures will exceed $30 million for the 1994 year.

At September 30, 1994, $15,000,000 in borrowing was outstanding under the 
Company's unsecured lines of credit. The Company has unsecured lines of 
credit which provide for borrowing up to $111.0 million. 

The Company believes that funds from operations and available amounts under 
its lines of credit will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for 
working capital, dividends, capital expenditures and other corporate needs, 
and management is not aware of any condition that would materially alter 
this trend. The Company also believes that it possesses sufficient unused 
debt capacity to pursue additional acquisition opportunities should they 
avail themselves to the Company.
