               JOHN H. HARLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
          NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          March 31, 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 fiscal 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 fiscal 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 
    long-term debt. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase 



<PAGE>


    method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of MPI 
    will be 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 will be 
    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 MPI and FTI acquisitions were for an aggregate cash amount of 
    $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 three months ended March 
    31, 1994 and 1993 includes the following (in thousands):

                                                   1994           1993

    Total                                       $  8,893        $ 8,201
                                                =========       ========

    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 cumu-
    lative 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 



<PAGE>


    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 March 31, 1994, 
    options representing 51,031 shares were exercised at a price of $18.70 
    per share. At March 31, 1994, there were 621,644 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 March 31, 1994 are as follows: 

                                                Shares     Exercise Price
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
    Options outstanding at December 31, 1993   375,688    $ 9.11  -  26.25 
    Options granted                            114,250               21.75
    Options exercised                           (2,854)     9.11  -  21.88

                                              =========
    The options generally become exercisable one year from the date of the 
    grant. At March 31, 1994, there were 348,834 options exercisable and 
    680,124 shares reserved for options under the Plans.  

7.   Net Income Per Share 

    Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common 
    shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. 
    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

First Quarter 1994 vs. 1993

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter 1994 decreased $2,461,000 or 
1.8% as compared to the first quarter of 1993. Sales for the Company's 
Financial Services Group ("FSG") experienced a decrease of $7,800,000 or 
6.4%, 5.7% of which represented a decrease in unit sales. The remaining 0.7% 
decrease was attributable to price/mix. The decrease in FSG sales units is 
primarily due to the loss of several former Rocky Mountain Bank Note 
("RMBN") accounts soon after the Company's acquisition of RMBN in January 
1993. Sales for the Company's Data Services Group ("DSG"), which 
manufactures and distributes optical mark reading equipment and scannable 
forms, increased $1,031,000 or 9.3% in the first quarter 1994 versus the 
comparable period in 1993. Primary contributors to this increase were in-
creased penetration of new product sales and higher service bureau sales, 
both of which were part of significantly stronger sales to commercial mar-
kets. On January 7, 1994 the Company purchased Marketing Profiles, Inc. 
("MPI"), a Maitland, Florida based database marketing and consulting company 
which provides software products and related marketing services to the 
financial industry. MPI's results of operations have been included in the 
Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, 
contributing $4,308,000 or 3.3% to the Company's first quarter 1994 
consolidated net sales.

Consolidated cost of goods sold decreased by $5,720,000 or 7.7%, and 
decreased as a percentage of net sales from 55.9% for the first quarter 1993 
to 52.5% for the first quarter 1994. The major reason for this decline was a 
decrease in FSG's cost of goods sold of $8,448,000 or 12.3% (from 55.9% of 
net sales in 1993 to 52.3% of net sales in 1994). Consolidation of excess 
imprint production capacity as well as reduced material costs (resulting 
from the closing of two base stock facilities) favorably impacted FSG's cost 
of goods sold. Cost of goods sold for DSG increased by $710,000 or 11.5%, 
and increased slightly as a percentage of net sales from 55.6% in the first 
quarter 1993 to 56.7% for the first quarter 1994.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased by 
$902,000 or 2.8%, and increased as a percentage of sales from 24.5% in the 
first quarter 1993 to 25.7% for the first quarter 1994. Major components of 
the increase were expenses resulting from acquired operations (MPI) as well 
as costs associated with the start-up of The Check Store, the Company's 
subsidiary which was formed in October 1993 to market checks and related 
products directly to consumers. DSG experienced a period-to-period increase 
in selling, general and administrative expense of 5.8%, but as a percentage 
of sales such expenses decreased from 40.2% in the first quarter 1993 to 
38.9% for the first quarter 1994. FSG experienced a significant decrease in 
selling, general and administrative expense from first quarter 1993 to first 
quarter 1994 (period-to-period decrease of 10.5%), and as a percentage of 
FSG net sales experienced an improvement from 19.8% in the first quarter 
1993 to 19.0% for the first quarter 1994. The principal reason for FSG's 
favorable comparison to 1993 was a reduction in the selling and

administrative functions of RMBN which took place after RMBN was acquired in 
January 1993; offset by increased investments in information technology.

Amortization of intangibles, principally resulting from acquisitions, 
increased by $498,000 or 23.0%, and increased slightly as a percentage of 
net sales from 1.6% in the first quarter 1993 to 2.0% for the first quarter 
1994. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of MPI 
which took place on January 7, 1994.

Other income (expense) increased, from a net expense of $244,000 in the 
first quarter 1993 to a net expense of $1,803,000 for the first quarter 
1994. The principal reason for the increase relates to the Company's 
issuance of $100,000,000 in long term debt in December 1993  ($85,000,000 
senior notes and a $15,000,000 bank term loan), which bears interest at an 
annual interest rate of 6.6%.

The Company's consolidated effective income tax rate for the first quarter 
1994 was 39.8% compared to 38.5% for the first quarter 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

At March 31, 1994 the Company had $52,563,000 in consolidated working capi-
tal, of which $11,349,000 was represented by cash and cash equivalents. Cash 
and cash equivalents decreased by $14,875,000 during the first three months 
of 1994. Primary uses of funds during the three month period ended March 31, 
1994 were to acquire MPI and FormAtion Technologies, Inc., and to disburse 
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 soft-
ware and hardware for issuing magnetic ink encoded financial documents. Cash 
flows generated from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 
1994 totaled $38,633,000, compared to $38,176,000 for the comparable period 
in 1993.

Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $5,896,000 for the three 
month period ended March 31, 1994, compared with $5,063,000 for the compara-
ble period in 1993. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures will 
exceed $30 million for the 1994 year.

The Company believes that funds from operations will be sufficient to meet 
anticipated requirements for working capital, dividends, capital expendi-
tures and other corporate needs, and management is not aware of any condi-
tion 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.
