          Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
                 (Thousands of dollars, except per share data)


NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes the disclosures included are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have
been reflected and are of a normal recurring nature.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto for the three years ended December 31, 1996.

The Company consummated the sale of its Plastics business segment on February
7, 1997 for cash of $93,485 plus working capital adjustments.  The Company
recorded a loss of $33 million in the fourth quarter of 1996 to adjust the
carrying value of the net assets of this business to net realizable value at
December 31, 1996, and to reflect the related settlement of shareholder
litigation.  The consolidated statement of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 has been restated to segregate the discontinued
operations, and the accounts of the discontinued operations have been
segregated in the balance sheet at December 31, 1996.

NOTE 2. INTERIM RESULTS

Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the year.

NOTE 3. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Schawk, Inc. is a leader in the prepress industry in the United States
primarily serving consumer products businesses.  The Company offers a complete
line of prepress services, digital image management, art production, digital
photography and products for the production of consumer product packaging and

NOTE 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE


In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, Earnings Per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used
to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the new
requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options will be excluded.  The impact is not expected to have a material
impact on primary or fully diluted earnings per share for the first quarter
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER 1997 COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER 1996
(Thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)


On February 7, 1997, the Company closed the sale of the Plastics business
segment and received cash of $93,485.  A final adjustment (the amount to be
determined) will be made based on working capital as of the date of the
closing.  The statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996
has been restated to segregate the operations of the Plastics Group.

NET SALES FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS of $26,192 for the first quarter of 1997
represents a 36% increase from sales of $19,280 from continuing operations for
the same period in 1996.  The first quarter sales growth included an increase
of sales to existing customers of approximately 10% with the remaining growth
resulting from the 1996 acquisitions in Canada, Atlanta and Connecticut.

COST OF SALES FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS for the first quarter of 1997
decreased to 58% from 59% of net sales for the first quarter of 1996 due to
greater efficiencies on the increased volume.

OPERATING INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS increased 59% to $3,748 in 1997
from operating income from continuing operations of $2,350 in the first quarter
of 1996.  This increase was due largely to the increased sales volume.  General
and administrative expenses increased by $1,804 for the first quarter but
decreased as a percentage of sales.

INTEREST INCOME increased to $309 for first quarter of 1997 compared with $110
for the first quarter 1996 due to the invested cash balances on hand as a
result of the sale of the Plastics Group.  Interest expense decreased to $907
in 1997 from $1,075 in 1996 as the Company retired debt with the proceeds of
the sale.

NET INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS increased 89% to $1,890 for the first
quarter of 1997 compared with $1,001 in 1996 due to the factors previously
described.

NET INCOME increased to $1,890 in the first quarter 1997 from 1,588 in the
first quarter of 1996, which included $587 of income from the discontinued
Plastics Group.

PRIMARY AND FULLY DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
increased 100% to $0.08 for the first quarter of 1997 from $0.04 for the first
quarter of 1996.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.07 for the
first quarter of 1996 included $0.03 from the discontinued Plastics Group.
Weighted average shares outstanding increased to 19,904 in 1997 from weighted
average shares outstanding of 19,451 in 1996 due primarily to the Company's
conversion of Series A preferred stock into Class A commons shares during 1996,
stock issued in connection with acquisitions in 1996, issuance of Class A
common shares under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan, offset by the
Company's purchase of outstanding shares.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Long-term debt and capital lease obligations decreased to $45,181 in 1997 from
$67,785 in 1996 as the Company repaid debt with the proceeds or the sale of the
Plastics Group.  The Company had $56,013 of available cash and short term
investments at March 31, 1997.  The Company's current ratio at March 31, 1997
was 2.7 with available working capital of $54,039 compared to a current ratio
on December 31, 1996 of 1.6 with available working capital of $21,881.

The Company believes that available amounts on its existing line of credit
agreement, along with the current level of working capital and the cash
generated from future operations will be sufficient to meet its needs for
working capital, capital expenditures, and the payment of dividends.

Capital expenditures of $1,804 were made during the first quarter of 1997 for
machinery, equipment and automation to expand production facilities and improve
productivity.
