GRAPHIC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JULY 31, 1997
NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in 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 that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information not misleading. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the
1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, the financial
statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of July 31, 1997 and the results of the
operations and cash flows for the three months and six months then ended. The
results of operations for the six months ended July 31, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 31, 1998.
NOTE B--MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time
of purchase and reevaluates such securities at each balance sheet date. At July
31, 1997, all marketable securities were classified as "available for sale" and,
therefore, were carried at fair value, with the difference between cost and fair
value, net of tax, reported as a component of retained earnings. At July 31,
1997, this difference was an unrealized loss of $19,755 net of income taxes of
$16,163. This difference was due to the effect of changes in market interest
rates on the fair value of these securities.
NOTE C--NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Primary earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. The common share equivalents did
not materially dilute primary earnings per share. Fully diluted earnings per
share are based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share
equivalents outstanding and, when dilutive, assumed conversion of convertible
securities during the period, after appropriate adjustments for interest and
applicable income tax effect.
-5-
<PAGE>
NOTE D--SFAS NO. 128, "EARNINGS PER SHARE"
In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new
accounting pronouncement, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which will change
the current method of computing earnings per share. The new standard requires
presentation of "basic earnings per share" and "diluted earnings per share"
amounts, as defined. SFAS No. 128 will be effective for the Company's quarter
and year ending January 31, 1998, and, upon adoption, all prior-period earnings
per share data presented shall be restated to conform with the provisions of the
new pronouncement. Application earlier than the Company's quarter ending January
31, 1998 is not permitted.
Proforma basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months and six
months ended July 31, 1997 and 1996 calculated under the provisions of SFAS No.
128 are as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General. On May 31, 1996 Mercury Printing Company, Inc. ("Mercury"), Memphis,
Tennessee, a subsidiary of the Company, acquired The Wimmer Companies, Inc., a
printer and publisher of cookbooks in Memphis, Tennessee. The acquisition was
financed through the issuance of 53,830 shares of the Company's Common Stock
valued at $583,376 and cash payments amounting to $1,042,281 to retire certain
debt obligations. In the quarter ended July 31, 1997 the Seller returned 6,181
shares of the Company's Common Stock which related to a final closing
settlement. The shares were cancelled.
On November 1, 1996 the Company acquired Presstar Printing Corporation ("PPC"),
a commercial printing company in Silver Spring, Maryland, serving the Baltimore,
Maryland and Washington, DC market areas. The acquisition was financed through
the issuance of 102,059 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at $875,136
and cash payments amounting to $5,531,078 to retire certain debt obligations. In
the quarter ended April 30, 1997 the Seller returned $301,480 of cash and 40,816
shares of the Company's Common Stock as part of a post closing settlement. The
shares were cancelled.

<PAGE>
On June 3, 1997, Imaging Technologies Services, Inc. ("ITS"),
Atlanta, Georgia, a subsidiary of the Company, acquired Birmingham
Imaging Technologies, Inc. a reprographics company serving the
Birmingham, Alabama market. The acquisition was financed through
the issuance of cash payments in the amount of $871,250 and a note
payable of $153,750.
On July 1, 1997 the Company acquired The LithoPrint Company ("LC"),
a commercial printing company in Austin, Texas and LithoImage, Inc.
a state-of-the-art digital image processing company. The
acquisition was financed through the issuance of 366,029 shares of
the Company's Common Stock valued at $4,000,000 and a cash payment
of $500,000.
As of April 30, 1996 the Company recorded a one-time pre-tax
restructuring charge of $9,000,000. The after-tax effect of the
charge was $6,026,500 or equivalent to $0.52 per common share. The
charge covered the costs associated with the sale of the Company's
direct-mail subsidiary, Graphic Direct-Illinois ("GDI") and the
closing of a commercial printing subsidiary, The Stein Printing
Company, Inc. ("SPC"). Excluding the one-time charge, net income
for the six months ended July 31, 1996 would have been $6,003,681
or $0.52 per share primary and $0.50 per share fully diluted.
NET SALES. Net sales, for the three months ended July 31, 1997,
increased approximately $8.3 million or 8.1% as compared to the
same period last year. Of this increase, approximately 4.2% was
attributable to the net sales of the acquisitions discussed above
in the General section. Excluding the sales of the acquired
businesses and of the subsidiaries affected by the restructuring,
net sales of the remaining operations increased by approximately
6.4%. Net sales, for the six months ended July 31, 1997, increased
approximately $10.5 million or 4.9% as compared to the same period
last year. Of this increase, approximately 3.3% was attributable
to the net sales of the acquisitions discussed above in the General
section. Excluding the sales of the acquired businesses and of the
subsidiaries affected by the restructuring, net sales of the
remaining operations increased by approximately 6.3% for the six
months ended July 31, 1997.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, remained
essentially the same for the three months ended July 31, 1997 as
compared to the same period last year. Cost of sales, as a
percentage of sales, decreased 0.2%, for the six months ended July
31, 1997, as compared to the same period last year. The
improvement resulted from the stabilization of paper prices which
has allowed our companies to more fully recover these costs in
their pricing.
-8-
<PAGE>
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased 0.5%, as a percentage of sales
for the three months ended July 31, 1997 and 0.3% for the six
months ended July 31, 1997, as compared to the same periods last
year. The percentage decrease in both periods is due primarily to
the significant sales increase which offset these expenses. The
dollar increase in these expenses is primarily due to higher
commissions on the increase in sales.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGE. A pre-tax $9,000,000 restructuring charge
was booked in the quarter ended April 30, 1996. See a discussion
of the restructuring charge in the General Section above in Results
of Operations.
INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME-NET. Interest and other income-net, as
a percentage of sales, remained the same for the three months ended
July 31, 1997 as compared to the same period last year. For the
six months ended July 31, 1997, interest and other income-net, as
a percentage of sales, decreased 0.1% as compared to the same
period last year. The decrease was due to a decrease in interest
income.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense, as a percentage of sales,
remained the same for the three months ended July 31, 1997 as
compared to the same period last year. For the six months ended
July 31, 1997, interest expense, as a percentage of sales,
increased 0.1% as compared to the same period last year. The
increase was due to an increase in the prime interest rate and
higher average borrowings.
INCOME TAXES. The effective income tax rate was 40.0% for the
three months ended July 31, 1997 and July 31, 1996. The effective
tax rate for the six months ended July 31, 1997 was 40.0% compared
to 102.3% for the six months ended July 31, 1996. The high tax
rate for the six months ended July 31, 1996 was due to the
restructuring charge booked at April 30, 1996 and discussed in the
General Section above in Results of Operations. A portion of the
restructuring charge related to the write-off of intangible assets
for which there is no tax benefit. The effective income tax rate
without the restructuring charge was 40.0% for the six months ended
July 31, 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At July 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $95.4 million in
working capital as compared to approximately $83.5 million at July
31, 1996. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment
were approximately $14.1 million during the six months ended July
31, 1997.
-9-
<PAGE>
The Company's capital expenditures and increase in other assets
have been financed by funds from operations, from additional
borrowings and from use of cash and cash equivalents during the
first six months. The increase in other assets is primarily due to
advance payments for several capital projects.
The Company believes that existing working capital, including a
cash and marketable securities balance of approximately $29.8
million at July 31, 1997, funds provided from operations, undrawn
bank lines and additional bank financing will be adequate to
satisfy the Company's presently anticipated needs for working
capital and capital expenditures, including possible future
acquisitions.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The Company has experienced increases in the costs of materials,
labor, equipment and machinery as well as other operating expenses.
Its ability to pass on such increased costs through increased
prices has been affected differently in different time periods;
however, the Company has generally been able to mitigate cost
increases by increasing its production efficiencies or by passing
on increased costs to customers.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 1, 1997, the Company acquired Harvey Press, Inc. ("HP"),
the largest commercial printing company in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The acquisition was financed through the issuance of 334,549 shares
of the Company's Common Stock valued at $4,300,000.
On August 29, 1997, the Company acquired Bruce Offset Company
("BOC"), a commercial printing company in Elk Grove Village,
Illinois, serving the Chicago, Illinois market area. The
acquisition was financed through the issuance of cash payments
amounting to $9,200,000, additional cash payments amounting to
$1,869,984 to retire certain debt obligations and the assumption of
certain debt obligations amounting to $875,000.
On September 3, 1997, The Central Press of Miami, Inc. ("CP"),
Pompano Beach, Florida, a subsidiary of the Company acquired
substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of Graphic
Technologies, Inc., a prepress and commercial printer in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida. The acquisition was financed through the
issuance of cash payments amounting to $987,110, additional cash
payments of $777,918 to retire certain debt obligations, the
assumption of certain debt obligation amounting to $554,073 and the
issuance of a note payable in the amount of $1,373,875.
