              JOHN H. HARLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         March 31, 1995
                          (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 note 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, 1994.

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, 1994. The
Company has consistently followed those policies in preparing this report.

3.   Acquisitions

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 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. ("FormAtion") for cash paid at closing and a contingent
purchase payment payable in 1997 to the former FormAtion shareholders. The
contingent purchase payment is based upon a multiple of FormAtion's
operating results during the three-year period ending in 1996 as defined in
the acquisition agreement. FormAtion 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 a provider of maintenance and
repair services for a broad variety of computers, peripherals, networks and
operating systems. FPC serves financial, commercial, governmental and
medical markets.










                               -6-

<PAGE>
The MPI, FormAtion and FPC acquisitions were 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. Assets acquired totaled $65.4 million, net of
liabilities assumed of $18.9 million. The cash paid for these acquisitions
totaled $65.0 million and estimated acquisition-related costs totaled $0.4
million. The purchases were 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. Of the total acquisition
costs, $59.3 million was preliminarily allocated to intangible assets, of
which $52.6 million represented goodwill. 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 represents the unaudited pro forma results of operations
which assume the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 1994. These results
include certain adjustments, primarily increased amortization expense
related to intangible assets and increased interest expense (in thousands
of dollars, except per share amounts):

                                               Three months ended
                                                  March 31, 1994
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales                                           $ 138,290
Net income                                             12,827
Net income per common share                               .42

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 on January 1, 1994 or of future
consolidated results of operations.

4.   Accounting for Income Taxes

The provision for income tax expense for the three months ended March 31,
1995 and 1994 includes the following (in thousands):

                                               1995           1994

Current provision                           $ 10,936        $ 11,251
Deferred benefit                              (2,427)         (2,658)
                                            ---------       --------
Total                                       $  8,509        $  8,593
                                            =========       ========

5.   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 March 31, 1995, options
representing 59,737 shares were exercised at a price of $16.89 per share.
At March 31, 1995, there were 404,795 shares reserved for purchase under
the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

                               -7-
<PAGE>

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, 1995 are as follows:

                                            Shares     Exercise Price
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Options outstanding at December 31, 1994   385,853    $ 11.59 - 26.25
Options granted                            120,250              19.38
Options exercised                           (7,833)     11.59 - 15.56
Options cancelled                          (71,943)     22.75 - 26.25
                                          ---------
Options outstanding at March 31, 1995      426,327      11.59 - 26.25
                                          =========

The options generally become exercisable one year from the date of the
grant. At March 31, 1995, there were 306,077 options exercisable and
669,411 shares reserved for options under the Plans.

6.   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.

7.   Inventories

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

                                            March 31,      December 31,
                                               1995            1994

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter 1995 vs. 1994

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter 1995 increased $7.2 million or
5.5% as compared to the first quarter of 1994.

Sales for the Company's Financial Services Group ("FSG") decreased $3.9
million or 3.4%, which consisted of a 10.0% decrease in units and a price
and product mix increase of 6.6%. The positive price and product mix is
attributable in part to a general price increase which FSG implemented in
December 1994, to increased revenues from FSG's specialty printing
operations and to revenues from expedited delivery programs. The unit
decrease is partially due to two events which occurred during 1994,
specifically the loss of business with one large customer and a reduction
of business under contract with another large customer, although the
business retained was renewed at more favorable pricing. FSG continues to
experience pricing pressures within the check printing industry.

Sales for the Company's Data Services Group ("DSG") increased $5.2 million
or 43.0% in the first quarter 1995 versus the comparable period in 1994.
The DSG sales increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Financial
Products Corporation ("FPC") in September 1994. FPC contributed over $4
million to DSG's first quarter 1995 sales. Also, DSG's sales to commercial
customers increased over 1994, primarily from increases in custom form
sales.

Sales for the Company's Information Services Group ("ISG") contributed
$7.7 million to consolidated sales in the first quarter of 1995. ISG
consists of Marketing Profiles Inc. ("MPI") and FormAtion Technologies,
Inc. ("FormAtion") which were acquired in January 1994 and March 1994,
respectively.  Cooperative marketing efforts between ISG and FSG
contributed to revenue increases over 1994.

Sales for the Company's Direct Marketing Group ("DMG"), which consists of
The Check Store, Inc. ("The Check Store"), substantially exceeded the
Company's expectations for the first quarter of 1995. The Check Store
markets checks and related products directly to consumers and began
production operations during the second quarter of 1994.

Consolidated cost of goods sold increased by $1.5 million or 2.2%, and
decreased as a percentage of net sales from 52.7% for the first quarter
1994 to 51.1% for the first quarter 1995.

FSG's gross margin improved from 47.8% in 1994 to 49.5% in 1995. The FSG
margin improvement is attributable to the price increase mentioned
previously and margin improvements related to product shipment. FSG's gross
margin was also favorably impacted by efficiencies realized from process
improvements but was negatively impacted by increased paper prices.

DSG experienced an improvement in gross margin from 43.3% in 1994 to 46.9%
in 1995. DSG's margin improvement is primarily due to the increase in form
sales which have a higher gross margin than machine sales and service
activities. Also, margins from form sales were improved due to printing
process improvements recently implemented by DSG.









                               -9-

<PAGE>


Cost of goods sold for ISG and DMG totaled $5.4 million in 1995.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased by $5.0
million or 14.8%, and increased as a percentage of sales from 25.7% in the
first quarter 1994 to 27.9% for the first quarter 1995. This increase is
primarily due to marketing expenditures associated with The Check Store.
Other components of the increase were expenses resulting from acquired
operations (principally FormAtion and FPC). These increases were partially
offset by a decrease in FSG administrative expenses primarily from plant
consolidation expenses incurred in 1994.

Amortization of intangibles, principally resulting from acquisitions,
increased by $0.9 million or 39.2%, and decreased as a percentage of net
sales from 1.9% in the first quarter 1994 to 1.8% for the first quarter
1995. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of
FormAtion and FPC.

Other income (expense) increased $144,000 over the first quarter 1994
primarily due to higher average balances of short-term debt during the first
quarter of 1995 coupled with the impact of higher interest rates in 1995.

The Company's consolidated effective income tax rate for the first quarter
1995 was 40.0% compared to 39.8% in 1994.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash flows provided by operations in the first quarter of 1995 were $34.9
million compared to $38.6 million in 1994. The primary uses of funds during
the first quarter of 1995 were to reduce short-term debt, to pay dividends
to the Company's shareholders and for capital expenditures.

Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $6.5 million in the first
quarter of 1995, compared to $5.9 million in 1994. The Company estimates
that its capital expenditures will total approximately $30 million in 1995.

The Company has unsecured lines of credit which provide for borrowings up
to $111.0 million. At March 31, 1995, no amounts were outstanding under
these lines of credit.

On March 31, 1995, the Company had $21.5 million in cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments. The Company believes that its
current cash position, funds from operations and the availability of funds
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 and access to equity capital markets to
pursue additional acquisition opportunities.
