               JOHN H. HARLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
          NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           June 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 by internally generated 
    funds. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accord-
    ingly, 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. The acquisition price was funded 
    with a portion of the proceeds received in the December 1993 issuance of 






    <PAGE>
    long-term debt. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase 
    method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of MPI 
    have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements 
    from the date of acquisition. MPI is based in Maitland, Florida and is a 
    database marketing and consulting company which provides software 
    products and related marketing services to the financial 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. The acquisition price was funded with portion of 
    the proceeds received in the December 1993 issuance of long-term debt. 
    The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of 
    accounting and, accordingly, the acquired net assets of FTI have been 
    included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the 
    date of acquisition. FTI is based in Denver, Colorado and develops, 
    markets and supports lending and platform automation software for the 
    financial industry.

    The cash paid for the acquisitions of MPI and FTI totaled $45,050,000.

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 
    significant to the Company's financial statements. 
 
5.   Accounting for Income Taxes 

    The provision for income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 
    1994 and 1993 includes the following (in thousands):

                                                   1994           1993

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

    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 




    <PAGE>

    85% of the fair market value of the stock at the beginning or end of the 
    quarter, whichever is lower. In the quarter ended June 30, 1994, options 
    representing 52,346 shares were exercised at a price of $18.43 per 
    share. At June 30, 1994, there were 569,288 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 June 30, 1994 are as follows: 

                                                Shares     Exercise Price

                                              =========
    The options generally become exercisable one year from the date of the 
    grant. At June 30, 1994, there were 291,219 options exercisable and 
    680,124 shares reserved for options under the Plans.  

7.   Net Income Per Common Share 

    Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of 
    common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the peri-
    od. Common share equivalents include the number of shares issuable upon 
    the exercise of the Company's stock options.

8.   Inventories 

    Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands of dollars):

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter 1994 vs. 1993

Consolidated net sales increased $773,000 or 0.6% over the same period in 
1993. The Company's Financial Services Group ("FSG") had a sales decrease of  
$6,262,000 or 5.4% which consisted of a 7.1% decrease in units and a 
price/mix increase of 1.7%.  The loss of several former Rocky Mountain Bank 
Note ("RMBN") accounts, which was known when the Company acquired RMBN in 
January 1993, continued to impact FSG sales units. In addition, units 
were impacted by loss of one large customer and by a reduction in the 
amount under contract with another large customer, although the business 
retained was renewed at more favorable pricing. The FSG price/mix increase 
is attributable to increases in sales of higher priced product lines, a 
general price increase effective in December 1993 and efforts by FSG to 
reduce discounting. Sales for the Company's Data Services Group ("DSG") 
increased $107,000 or 0.8% over 1993. 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. 
These increases were offset by a decrease in DSG's sales in international 
markets. DSG sales to its educational customers showed a small increase when 
compared to the 1993 period. The Company's recently formed 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 $6,062,000 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 1994. Sales by The Check Store exceeded 
the Company's expectations but were not significant as a portion of 
consolidated net sales.

Consolidated cost of goods sold decreased $2,710,000 or 3.9% from 1993 and 
decreased as a percentage of sales from 54.0% in 1993 to 51.6% in 1994. As a 
percentage of its sales, FSG's cost of goods improved from 54.1% in 1993 to 
51.6% in 1994. The FSG margin improvement is attributable to cost reductions 
gained from consolidations of excess imprint and base stock facilities as 
well as from lower material costs. DSG's cost of goods sold declined as a 
percentage of its sales from 51.8% in 1993 to 49.0% 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 $3,741,000 for the 1994 second quarter. 

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased by 
$2,316,000 or 7.2%, and increased as a percentage of sales from 24.7% in 
1993 to 26.3% in 1994. Major components of the increase were expenses 
resulting from acquired operations (MPI and FTI) as well as marketing costs 
associated with the start-up of The Check Store. DSG selling, general and 
administrative expense increased $532,000 and increased as a percentage of 
its sales from 36.2% in 1993 to 39.9% in 1994. FSG continued its trend of 
lower selling, general and administrative expense which decreased by 






<PAGE>
$2,309,000 and as a percentage of its sales improved from 20.4% in 1993 to 
19.5% in 1994. This favorable comparison is principally due to consolidation 
of selling and administrative functions of RMBN which was acquired in 
January 1993.
 
Amortization of intangibles, principally resulting from acquisitions, 
increased $1,470,000 or 67.8%, and increased as a percentage of sales from 
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 $376,000 in 1993 to 
a net expense of $1,412,000 in 1994. This increase is principally due to 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 $1,400,000 or 6.2% and decreased as a 
percentage of sales from 17.5% in 1993 to 16.3% in 1994. The Company's 
consolidated effective income tax rate for the 1994 period was 39.8% 
compared to 37.8% 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.

Year to Date Analysis

Consolidated net sales decreased $1,688,000 or 0.6% over the same period in 
1993. FSG sales decreased $14,062,000 or 5.9% which consisted of a unit 
decrease of 6.4% and a price/mix increase of 0.5%. DSG sales increased 
$1,138,000 or 4.6% primarily for the same reasons discussed in the analysis 
of second quarter results. ISG contributed $10,370,000 to consolidated net 
sales for the 1994 period.

Consolidated cost of goods sold decreased $8,430,000 or 5.8% from the same 
period in 1993 and as a percentage of sales decreased from 54.9% in 1993 to 
52.1% in 1994. FSG's improvement in cost of goods sold as a percentage of 
sales was the primary reason for the improvement in the consolidated gross 
margin.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased by 
$3,218,000 or 5.0%, and increased as a percentage of sales from 24.6% 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 start-up of 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 $1,968,000 over 1993 and increased as a percentage of 
sales from 1.6% in 1993 to 2.4% in 1994. 

Other income (expense) increased, from a net expense of $620,000 in 1993 to 
$3,215,000 in 1994. This increase is principally due to the Company's 
issuance of $100,000,000 in long-term debt in December 1993 at an annual 
interest rate of 6.6%.






<PAGE>
Income before income taxes decreased $1,141,000 or 2.6% and decreased as a 
percentage of sales from 16.7% in 1993 to 16.4% in 1994. The consolidated 
effective tax rate for the 1994 period was 39.8% versus 38.1% in 1993.


FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

At June 30, 1994 the Company had $54,980,000 in consolidated working capital 
including $15,149,000 of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash 
equivalents decreased by $11,075,000 during the first six months of 1994. At 
June 30, 1994, $6,000,000 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.

Primary uses of funds during the six month period ended June 30, 1994 were 
to acquire MPI and FTI, 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. Cash flows generated from operations for the six month period 
ended June 30, 1994 totaled $54,708,000, compared to $55,791,000 for the 
comparable period in 1993. Purchases of property, plant and equipment 
totaled $19,672,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1994, compared 
with $10,978,000 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.

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 ample unused debt 
capacity to pursue additional acquisition opportunities should they avail 
themselves to the Company.
