NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER 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, 1997. Other than Balance Sheet amounts as of
December 31, 1997, 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 ACQUISITIONS
Monarch:
On June 29, 1995, the Company acquired a 49% interest in Monarch Marking
Systems, Inc. ("Monarch"), which had been accounted for using the equity method.
On March 3, 1997, the Company acquired the remaining 51% of Monarch for a total
purchase price of $132, comprising of cash, notes, stock , options and warrants.
The acquisition was 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 was recorded as goodwill. The resulting
goodwill of $148.5 (including $13.5 related to the initial 1995 investment) is
being amortized over 40 years.

The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                  <C>   
Current assets                       $ 96.2
Property, plant and equipment          44.1
Goodwill                              148.5
Other assets                           11.8
Current liabilities                   (37.6)
Long-term debt                       (105.8)
Other                                  (5.1)
                                     ------
Net assets                            152.1
Initial investment (June 1995)        (20.1)
                                     ------
                                     $132.0
                                     ======
</TABLE>

The purchase price allocation is not complete and adjustments to goodwill may be
necessary, reflecting the outcome of pending litigation with Pitney Bowes, Inc.
(the former owner of Monarch). The litigation relates to a purchase price
adjustment to which the Company believes it is entitled. It is expected that the
matter will be finalized by the end of 1998.

The operating results of Monarch 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 1,1997.
These pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results of
operations which may result in the future.

NOTE 9:           ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities. The Statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement
requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Statement 133 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.

The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting Statement 133 on the
financial statements and has not determined the timing of or method of its
adoption of Statement 133. However, based on current interest rate levels, the
income statement impact of derivative contracts would not have a material impact
on the Company's results of operations.

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

ALL AMOUNTS IN THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION ARE STATED IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND
PER SHARE DATA.

OPERATING RESULTS

On March 3, 1997, the Company acquired the remaining 51% of Monarch Marking
Systems, Inc. ("Monarch") that it did not previously own. The acquisition has
been accounted for as a purchase, and, accordingly, the results of operations
include the results of Monarch since the date of acquisition. On October 28,
1997, the Company acquired International Imaging Materials, Inc. ("IIMAK"),
which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. As required with a
pooling of interests, historical financial information has been restated to
combine the financial statements of the Company and IIMAK for all periods.

depreciation and goodwill amortization.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
During the first six months of 1998 capital expenditures were $16.9 compared to
$14.2 in 1997. All new capital projects are carefully analyzed and other than
projects for employee safety and environmental improvement, are required to make
a positive contribution on a net present value basis, generating an advantageous
internal rate of return on invested capital. The Company currently anticipates
capital expenditures of approximately $32.0 for the year ending December 31,
1998.


On March 3, 1997, the Company acquired the remaining 51% of Monarch for a total
purchase price of $132, comprising of cash, notes, stock, options and warrants.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with assets acquired and
liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition. The 

<PAGE>   12
Company financed the cash portion of the purchase price with the proceeds of the
term loan under a $280 credit facility with Fleet Bank, N.A. and Wachovia Bank
of Georgia, N.A. as lead lenders.

On February 25, 1998, the Company acquired a 70% interest in the business of
Teslo Tekstil Urunleri Sanayii ve Ticaret A.S., located in Istanbul, Turkey, for
approximately $1.5. The Company has an option to acquire the remaining 30%
interest in Teslo from the minority shareholders.

The Company intends to augment its growth rate by the acquisition of
complementary or related businesses.

On March 3, 1997, the Company entered into an unsecured six-year, $280 credit
agreement with Fleet Bank, N.A. and other participating banks, consisting of a
term loan and revolving credit facility. On August 11, 1998, the Company and the
banks amended and restated their credit agreement to provide a $200 revolving
credit facility for five years from the date of the amendment. Borrowings under
the agreement bear interest at rates referenced to the London Interbank Offered
Rate (with applicable margins varying in accordance with the Company's
attainment of specified financial thresholds) or the Prime Rate (as defined),
and are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company.    

On August 11, 1998, the Company entered into unsecured ten-year $150 Senior
Note agreements with institutional lenders, primarily insurance companies. The
Senior Notes bear interest at 6.74%, payable semi-annually. The proceeds were
used to repay the term loan and a portion of the additional indebtedness
outstanding under the credit facility before it was amended.        


OTHER
Stock Repurchase:
On July 30, 1998, the Company announced a plan to purchase up to $25 of the
Company's common stock on the open market as conditions warrant. The repurchased
shares will be available for use under employee stock plans and other general
corporate purposes.

Asian Currency and Economic Situation:
The Company has worldwide operations, including operations in Asia. While the
currency situation is causing some pricing pressure on products sold in the
U.S. it is also creating opportunities for increased sales in Asia itself. On
the whole, the current economic situation in Asia is not expected to have a
material adverse impact upon the operations of the Company.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As a result of the June 29, 1995 acquisition of Monarch Marking Systems from
Pitney Bowes Inc., a dispute arose over the calculation of the purchase price.
In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the parties submitted
the dispute to binding arbitration. On September 6, 1996, the arbitrator
determined that, the purchase price should be reduced by $11.2. The New York
Supreme Court, New York County, upheld the arbitrator's decision, and a judgment
in the amount of $12.8 (including interest) was entered on March 11, 1997.
Pitney Bowes appealed the Order and Judgement to the New York Supreme Court,
Appellate Division. On May 14, 1998, a four member panel of the Appellate
Division, New York Supreme Court, unanimously affirmed the trial court's
decision. The amount owing on the judgment, including post-judgement interest
(which accrues at a 9% statutory rate) is approximately $14.1 million. Pitney
Bowes has sought leave to appeal to New York State's highest court, The New York
State Court of Appeals. The Company has filed its opposition to this motion.
During the appeal process, Pitney Bowes' bond will remain in place and interest
will continue to accrue on the judgement at the statutory rate.
