NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA.

NOTE 1:   GENERAL

The accounting policies followed during interim periods are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, and are consistent with those applied
for annual periods as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1996. Other than Balance Sheet amounts as of
December 31, 1995 and 1996, all amounts contained herein are unaudited.

Reclassifications:

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the
current year presentation.

NOTE 2: BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On June 29, 1995, the Company acquired a 49% interest in Monarch Holdings, Inc.
("Holdings"), which had been accounted for using the equity method. On March 3,
1997, the Company acquired the remaining 51% of Holdings for a total purchase
price of approximately $130 million. The Company acquired the 49% equity
interest of Odyssey Partners, L.P. in Holdings for $94.1 million in cash, a
promissory note in the amount of $5.9 million at an annual interest rate of
4.88% payable on January 2, 1998, and five year warrants to purchase (a)
1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.10, at an exercise
price of $17.50 per share and (b) 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock
at an exercise price of $21.875 per share. The warrants have been recorded at a
fair value of approximately $9.7 million at the date of acquisition. Immediately
following the closing of the acquisition, the Company caused Holdings to merge
with and into the Company. Upon completion of such merger, the Chairman of
Holdings and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Holdings each received
125,229 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $19.00 per share, in
exchange for the shares of Holdings common stock owned by each of them. In the
merger, employees of Holdings received incentive stock options to purchase an
aggregate of 995,575 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the
Company's 1990 Employee Stock Option Plan in exchange for outstanding options to
purchase Holdings common stock. The options have been recorded at a fair value
of approximately $16 million at the date of acquisition.

The acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase with assets acquired and
liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition. The excess of the purchase price and transaction costs over the
fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price
allocation related to certain accruals and reserves is not complete and
adjustments to goodwill may be necessary.

The operating results of Monarch Marking Systems, Inc., which became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the merger of Holdings
into the Company, are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income beginning March 3, 1997. The following unaudited pro forma results of
operations assume the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 1996. These pro
forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which
may result in the future.

NOTE 7: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128" or the
"Statement"), Earnings Per Share ("EPS"), which establishes standards for
computing and presenting EPS, is effective for both interim and annual periods
ending after December 15, 1997. The statement does not permit early application
of its provisions. The statement replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation of basic EPS, as defined. It also requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of income for entities with a
complex capital structure. Had EPS been determined in accordance with SFAS No.
128, the Company's basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 would have been the following pro forma amounts:

The effective income tax rate was 30% for the three months ended March 31, 1997
compared to 28% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The overall effective
tax rate is impacted by many factors including different statutory rates on
foreign income. The lower rate in 1996 was attributable to the inclusion of
equity in net income of affiliate. The tax rate is below the U.S. statutory
federal income tax rate of 35% due to lower rates on income derived from foreign
sources, particularly from Hong Kong and in Italy where the companies acquired
in 1994 receive special tax abatement incentives which expire through 1999.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased to $5.7 million
(7.1% of sales) from $4.3 million (8.2% of sales) in the 1996 period. Net income
per share was $0.20 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $0.15 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash provided by operating activities continues to be the Company's primary
source of funds to finance operating needs and capital expenditures. During the
first quarter of 1997, cash provided by operating activities was $3.7 million.
Cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 1996 was $3.6
million. Depreciation and amortization was $3.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 1996.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

During the first quarter of 1997 capital expenditures were $2.4 million compared
to $4.1 million during the first quarter of 1996. Other than projects for
employee safety and environmental improvement, all new capital projects are
carefully analyzed and are required to make a positive contribution on a net
present value basis, generating an attractive internal rate of return on
invested capital. The Company currently anticipates capital expenditures of
$30.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997.

On March 3, 1997, the Company acquired the 49% equity interest of Odyssey
Partners, L.P. in Holdings for (i) $94,083,750 in cash, (ii) a promissory note
in the amount of $5,907,559 at an annual interest rate of 4.88% payable on
January 2, 1998 secured by a letter of credit issued by Fleet Bank, N.A. and
(iii) five year warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase (A) 1,000,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, par value $0.10 (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise
price of $17.50 per share and (B) 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
at an exercise price of $21.875 per share. The Company financed the cash portion
of the purchase price with the proceeds of a term loan under a $280 million
credit facility with Fleet Bank, N.A. and Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A., as
lead lenders. Immediately following the closing of the acquisition, the Company
caused Holdings to be merged with and into the Company, and as a result of the
merger, Monarch became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On March 13, 1997, Monarch commenced a cash tender offer for its $100,000,000
principal amount 12.5% Senior Notes due 2003 (the "Monarch Notes"). The offer
expired on April 10, 1997. The redemption price was $1,137.50 for each $1,000 of
principal of the Monarch Notes, and the Company paid a consent payment of $30
per $1,000 of principal of the Monarch Notes to each holder that consented to
certain amendments to the Indenture under which the Monarch Notes were issued.
On April 11, 1997, the payment date, Monarch paid $120.2 million to the holders
of all of the outstanding Monarch Notes (see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements). Upon payment, all of the outstanding Monarch Notes were
canceled and the indenture under which they were issued was terminated. The
source of the $120.2 million payment was provided under the $280 million credit
facility with Fleet Bank, N.A. and Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A., as lead
lenders.

The Company intends to continue its growth, in part by acquisitions of other
complementary or related businesses, and believes that further acquisitions
outside the United States would be of important strategic value.
