TO ALL SHAREHOLDERS AND BONDHOLDERS:


         The second quarter of 1998 continued to see improvements in the basic
operating performance of San Jacinto Holdings Inc. and its subsidiary, Safeguard
Business Systems, Inc., (the "Company"). During this quarterly period, earnings
before interest, taxes and amortization ("EBITA") were $2.5 million compared to
the previous quarter's results of $1.8 million or 41% higher; and $1.5 million,
or 156% higher, in comparison to the same period in 1997.

         The overall operational quality of the Company has continued to
improve. While sales were off slightly from the first quarter of 1998 (1%),
operating expenses have continued to decline compared to the first quarter of
1998 at an even greater rate (5%). More importantly though, technological
advancements continued to be implemented; managerial positions in key personnel
areas continued to be filled; and customer service initiatives continue to be
emphasized.

         The Company has spent a great deal of time focusing on its strategic
direction to improve future growth. Although the events of the past 18 months
were disruptive to normal operating procedures, the lack of major operational
problems during the first half of 1998 has allowed the Company to focus on its
core competencies in renewing its steps toward improved profitability.

TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS

         The conversion to the AS/400 platform has been accomplished and is now
providing substantial improvements in the operations of the Company. The Company
is focused on adding and improving the many peripheral systems that can run from
the AS/400 platform, and which can improve the efficiency and competitiveness of
the Company's operations. The Company has also upgraded its proprietary order
entry system for use in the distribution channel, and is focusing more of its
attention on utilizing the Internet and the Intranet for processing orders and
communicating with the distribution channel. The Internet will have a very
favorable impact on reducing communication costs in the future, and provide an
excellent complimentary sales tool for our distributor network

         Additionally the Company is in the beginning phases of automating the
credit and collection function to realize more operational efficiencies from the
conversion to the AS/400. Likewise the Company has implemented bar code scanning
in the Pennsylvania plants to allow



                                       1
<PAGE>   3
for the location and monitoring of its orders and the tracking of costs
associated with production. This process should be implemented in the remainder
of the plants by year end, and allow for cost efficiencies as well as improving
customer service capabilities. This is also an integral part of improving the
Company's cost accounting processes.

MANAGEMENT CHANGES

         The Company has been successful in attracting and hiring new personnel
to improve its operational strength, as well as provide the managerial talent to
grow the Company. The plant manager from the previously closed plant in Addison,
Illinois has relocated to Pennsylvania to coordinate management of all of the
imprint plants in that area; and a new plant manager has recently begun work at
the Los Angeles facility to fill the vacancy created when Jim Panatone accepted
the position of Senior Vice President and Director of Manufacturing.

         Additionally Mike Magill has assumed the role and duties of President
and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. All of his previous reporting
responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer will continue in his new position.
(See enclosed announcement)

CUSTOMER SERVICE INITIATIVES

         The Company has established a Customer Service initiative that focuses
on improving many of the operational areas that interface with the distribution
channel and the end-user customer base. Additionally, the Company has
established and filled a key position to manage a customer service department
reporting to Ross Mason, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer in
Dallas. The Company believes that customer service must continue to be part of
the overall strategic focus of Safeguard and its distribution channel. It is
critical in the current business environment to retain existing customers, and
the focus and attention to customer service is absolutely necessary to remain
competitive in the marketplace.

FRANCHISE INITIATIVES

         During the second quarter of 1998, the California appellate courts in
the Gentis case confirmed a lower court decision that 13 former California
distributors were franchisees within the meaning of the California Franchise
Investment Law. Although the Company and its long-standing outside counsel in
this case disagree with the ruling in the Gentis matter, we deem it appropriate
to address this issue in California. At this time we will move forward and
prepare a franchise registration of our existing form of relationship in
California, and in turn the rest of the states in which the Company operates to
maintain the consistency of the form of relationship by which we operate. While
the Company does not expect such a registration to change the existing
relationship with its current distribution channel, it will provide for
increased flexibility in its dealings with distributors in the future. It will
also allow the Company to comply with the franchise laws in those states where
the Company's activities might be construed to require franchise registration.


STRATEGIC DIRECTION

                                       2
<PAGE>   4
         The Company has been engaged in overall strategic planning for the past
six months to map its future direction. This has involved every functional area
within the Company, and has necessitated a review of the industry, the Company's
competitors, and other similarly situated businesses within the Forms and Paper
markets. The Company believes that while its one-write product has been, and
will continue, to decline over the future, the Company's focus on providing
business solutions to the Small Business Customer is a very viable arena.
Industry studies from the International Business Forms Institute ("IBFI")
indicate that the Company's segment of the forms market will continue to grow
and remain viable for the future. Additionally, small business solutions or
systems sold through independent distributors are poised for consolidation. The
Company is uniquely positioned to attract such business and grow this channel to
reach a market largely ignored by the forms industry. Through this channel the
Company will continue to expand its systems and solutions for the small business
marketplace to generate growth and profitability for the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Quarterly sales were $41.6 million, or 16% below sales for the
comparable period in 1997. Those sales amounts in 1997 included sales from the
U.K. subsidiary of $5.0 million. Sales from payroll operations and data services
were included in the previous years reported sales and total $3.0 million. This
amount has been excluded from the reported numbers in both periods as
discontinued operations. Sales in one-write continue to decline at an 10% rate,
as well as short-run continuous forms at 9% rate. Laser sales continue to
increase at double digit rates. Sourced products have declined from comparable
periods due to several factors including pricing increases put into effect
during the second quarter of 1998. The Company has placed a greater emphasis
with its distribution channel on manufactured products, due to the more
favorable impact that such sales have on financial results of the Company.

         Operating expenses have declined by 23% from the comparable period in
1997 due to the sale of the U.K. subsidiary, and the discontinuance of payroll
and data services. However expenses have also declined 5% from the previous
quarter, from $20.8 million to $19.9 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1998. Improvements in cost controls and efficiencies are helping to improve
operating results.

         Earnings before interest, taxes and amortization ("EBITA") has
increased from $1.8 million in the first quarter of 1998 to $2.5 million in the
second quarter, primarily due to cost efficiencies and controls to reduce
expenses, and by $1.5 million from the comparable period in 1997. EBITDA (EBITA
plus depreciation) has increased from $3.0 million in the first quarter of 1998
to $3.3 million, or 10%, and by 20%, or $0.5 million, from the comparable period
in 1997.


                                       3

         All of the above data relate to the Company's results from operations.
From the consolidated statement of operations, the following highlights are
noted. Amortization expense has declined by $4.4 million from the comparable
period in 1997 due to the complete amortization of the customer list at the end
of 1997. Interest expense was essentially flat in the first and second quarters
of 1998 at approximately $3.3 million during each period, although down from the
comparable period in 1997 by $0.4 million. Thus the consolidated loss from
continuing operations declined by $6.2 million, from $7.6 million in the second
quarter of 1997, to $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

         The Company will continue to make strides in improving the quality,
performance and reliability of its operations; achieving improvements in sales
and profitability, identifying and integrating new products, and maintaining our
commitment to our independent distributor network where together, "We help small
business succeed".

TO:         ALL SAFEGUARD DISTRIBUTORS AND EMPLOYEES

FROM:             ELVIS L. MASON
                  CHAIRMAN & C.E.O.


         The Board of Directors of San Jacinto Holdings, Inc. and Safeguard
Business Systems, Inc. has approved the election of Michael Magill as President
and Chief Operating Officer, effective August 1, 1998. Mike, 50, who is both an
attorney and a C. P. A., joined Safeguard in July 1997 as Senior Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer.

         His direct reporting responsibilities include: Ross Mason, Senior Vice
President, Technology and Communications; James Panatone, Senior Vice President,
Manufacturing; Carol Prisco, Vice President and Controller; Bruce Krum, Vice

Business Planning. These functions will continue reporting to Mike and he
retains responsibility for the overall functions of the chief financial officer.
Additionally, Mike serves as a member of the Executive Management Committee and
is Chairman of the Operating Committee which meets weekly to coordinate all
operating functions.

         Mike earned a law degree at the University of Texas at Austin and an
undergraduate degree in Business Administration from the University of Texas at
Arlington. He has been a member of the Texas Bar Association since 1973 and a
Certified Public Accountant since 1974. His previous employment included working
with two public accounting firms, Ernst & Whinney and Peat, Marwick, Mitchell &
Co. Prior to joining Safeguard, he served as Executive Vice President, Director
and Chief Financial Officer of KBK Capital Corporation, a publicly traded
commercial finance corporation specializing in asset-based lending and working
capital financing for middle market companies. As such he reviewed the



                                       5
<PAGE>   7
operations of many small businesses throughout the United States that were
facing the difficulties of growth, both through operational problems, as well as
financial opportunities. Before joining KBK, Mike held senior executive
positions in two Texas banking organizations extending over a period of some 20
years. His experience included serving as Chief Financial Officer of a $22
billion publicly held multi-bank holding company and senior responsibilities in
lending, investments and operations.

         Since joining Safeguard, Mike has taken a leadership role in
implementing and supporting a broad range of improvements in all operating
areas. He is dedicated to Safeguard's independent distributor network and has
initiated many changes enhancing operating policies and procedures serving
Safeguard's distributors and customers. Mike is committed to high quality
customer service and is presently leading a company-wide effort to bring about
further improvements in this regard. As Mike has said, "It is a great
opportunity to work with the many distributors and employees who contribute to
the mutual well being of Safeguard, and I look forward to working toward our
joint goals of growth and profitability through serving the needs of small
businesses."

         Please join me in congratulating Mike on his election as President and
Chief Operating Officer. He is a highly competent, experienced senior executive
who is providing outstanding leadership throughout Safeguard.

NOTE A.  UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

         Basis of presentation - The accompanying interim financial statements
         have been prepared by the Company without audit. These statements
         include all adjustments which management believes necessary for a fair
         presentation of the statements and have been prepared on a consistent
         basis using the accounting policies described in the Summary of
         Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the consolidated
         financial statements included in the Company's 1997 audited financial
         statements. These policies and notes to consolidated financial
         statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim
         financial statements. The interim operating results are not necessarily
         indicative of the operating results expected for the full year. The
         accompanying financial statements as of and for the year ended December
         31, 1997 are derived from the Company's audited financial statements as
         of that date.

         Reclassification - certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997
         financial statements to conform to the classification used in 1998.

NOTE B.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

         In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company announced its decision to
         divest of its payroll and data processing operations. On March 31,
         1998, effective as of April 1, 1998, the Company sold its payroll
         processing operations to Advantage Business Services Holdings, Inc.
         Safeguard reported a gain of $6.4 million after expenses and payments
         to third parties. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay a
         portion of the Revolving Loan and a portion of the Term Loan, and to
         fund operations. The net assets of the data processing operations were
         sold at approximately net book value, effective January 1998.
         Consideration for this sale will be in the form of royalty payments
         beginning in 1999.

         The net assets relating to the payroll and data processing operations
         have been segregated on the consolidated balance sheet from their
         historic classification to separately identify them as assets held for
         disposition. The net sales from discontinued operations were $2.9
         million for the first quarter of 1998 and $3.5 million for the same
         period in 1997. The sales and related expenses of the operations were
         excluded from the determination of the Company's income (loss) from
         continuing operations for the periods presented.

         On April 1, 1998, the Company received proceeds totaling $11.3 million
         from the disposition of the payroll operations of which $3.3 million
         was payable to third parties associated with the sale of payroll
         operations. The funds were used to make an additional $1.3 million pay
         down of the Term Loan, and a permanent $2.2 million pay down of the
         Revolving Loan. The remaining funds were used to reduce the outstanding
         balance under the Collateralized Revolving Loan.

NOTE E.  CONTINGENCIES:

         On April 22, 1998, the California Supreme Court declined to hear the
         Company's appeal of a decision on an issue reached in 1996 relating to
         the applicability of the California Franchise Investment Law to the
         Company's California distributors. The Court's action means the
         appellate court's decision is final. This action has no material impact
         on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of
         operation since this contingent liability was recorded in 1996. The
         remaining financial settlement was satisfied in the second quarter of
         1998.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
            THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following commentary presents management's discussion and analysis of the
Company's financial condition and results of operations. Certain of the
statements included below, including those regarding future financial
performance or results, or that are not historical facts, are or contain
"forward-looking" information as that term is defined in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The words "expect", "believe", "anticipate", "project",
"estimate", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. The Company cautions readers that any such statements are not
guarantees of future performance or events and such statements involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to industry conditions,
general economic conditions, interest rates, competition, ability of the Company
to successfully manage its growth, and other factors discussed below and in the
Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1997 and quarterly
report for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Should one or more of these risks
or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, those actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those
indicated in the forward-looking statements. This review should be read in
conjunction with the information provided in the financial statements,
accompanying notes and selected financial data appearing in the Company's Annual
Report for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the quarterly report for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998. The following table sets forth, for the periods
indicated, selected financial data as a percentage of net sales.

Excluding sales from Europe, the second quarter of 1998 sale results are $2.8
million (or 6.2%) below the second quarter of 1997. For the first six months,
excluding sales from Europe, net sales in 1998 are $3.7 million (or 4.2%) below
sales for the same period in 1997. The sales decline in the second quarter and
the first six months of 1998 is due in part to one less workday than in 1997,
which results in less time for sales activity and plant production. The sales
results reflects a 23.5% growth in laser forms off-set by a 9.9% decline in
manual form sales and a 8.6% decline in computer forms sales. The sales
performance of the remaining product lines approximates 1997. The manual and
computer forms sales reflect the small business customer's transition from
manual and pin-fed forms to laser forms. The decline in manual and computer
forms sales is off-set in part by a 3.0% average price increase.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit is before selling and administrative expenses,
including commission expense. Gross profit margin from continuing operations in
North America are as follows:

operations in 1997. These efficiencies have been off-set in part by a shift in
the Company's product mix from manual forms sales to laser forms and sourced
products, as percentage of total sales. Computer and laser forms, and sourced
products carry greater material, direct labor and overhead costs (as a
percentage of sales) resulting in lower gross profit margin than for manual
forms.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling and administrative expenses are
$19.9 million in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $25.5 million for the
same period in 1997, representing 47.8% and 51.6% of net sales in each period.
For the six months, selling and administrative expenses are $40.8 million in
1998 compared to $49.0 million in 1997, representing 48.6% and 50.3% of net
sales in each period. The reduction in selling and administrative costs in 1998
is attributable to sale of the Company's European operation and strategic cost
reductions. The Company's operation in Europe, of which $1.5 million in the
second quarter and $3.0 million in the six month period of expense is included
in the 1997 results, was sold in December 1997. Commissions to independent
distributors account for 70% of total selling and administrative costs in 1998
and 60% in 1997. As a percent of total sales commission costs have remained
constant at approximately 34% of net sales.

OTHER INCOME - Distributor Receivables. Other income (cash received greater than
carrying value of Distributor receivables) is $0.4 million for the second
quarter 1998 and $0.5 million for the same period in 1997, representing 1.0% of
net sales in 1998 and in 1997. Other income for the six month period is $0.9
million in 1998 and $1.0 million in 1997. In connection with the Company's
purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Safeguard in December 1986, the
value assigned to distributor receivables associated with loans and advances
previously made by Safeguard to facilitate the purchase of account protection
and future income rights by distributors was $4.8 million, net of deferred
interest income of approximately $7.8 million. This value was primarily based on
an independent valuation of the distributor receivables which aggregated
approximately $26.0 million as of December 31, 1986. Due to the effect of
collection and distributor advance policies instituted in 1988, the net
distributor receivables balance was reduced to zero by early 1992. Cash
collection of this distributor receivable are expected to continue in amounts
approximating $2.0 million through the year 2000.

AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Amortization expense is $0.4 million for the second
quarter of 1998 and $4.8 million in 1997. Amortization expense is $0.9 million
and $9.6 million for the first six months of 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
expense consists primarily of the amortization of intangible assets, including
the customer list, excess purchase price over net assets acquired and deferred
financing costs. The significant decline in amortization expense in 1998 is as a
result of the customer list being fully amortized as of December 31, 1997. The
customer list amortization was $4.3 million in the second quarter of 1997 and
$8.6 million for the six month period of 1997.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense is $3.3 million for the second quarter of
1998 and $3.7 million for the same period in 1997. For the first six months,
interest expense is $6.7 million in 1996 in comparison to $7.4 million in 1997.
The decrease in interest expense in 1998 is attributable to a reduction in the
Company's average outstanding borrowings as a result of principal repayment and
the repayment of foreign debt obligations.

INCOME TAX PROVISION. The Company's provision for income tax in 1997 is related
to its operations in Europe. No tax liability is incurred in the United States
as a result of net losses from operations.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. In 1997 the Company announced its decision to divest of
its payroll and data processing operation. On December 31, 1997, effective
January 1, 1998, the data services operation was sold at approximately net book
value of the associated assets. On March 31, 1998, effective April 1, 1998, the
payroll processing operations were sold, resulting in a gain of $6.4 million,
reported in the first quarter of 1998. Net sales from discontinued operations
were $2.9 in the first six months of 1998 and $5.9 for the same period in 1997.
Year to date the sales and related expenses of these operations are excluded
from the determination of the Company's loss from continuing operations for the
periods presented.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from
operations, cash on hand and borrowing capacity under the revolving loans. The
Company's cash flows generated from operating activities is $4.0 million in the
first six months of 1998. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had $0.8 million in
cash and cash equivalents, $1.3 million in availability under the revolving
loans. At that date, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3.3
million and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 0.9:1.

The Company's ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from capital
expenditures, working capital needs and debt service. The Company's capital
expenditures for the first six months of 1998 are $1.0 million in software,
hardware and equipment purchases. The Company anticipates total capital
expenditures in 1998 of $3.0 million. These expenditures will be funded through
additional capital lease obligations and cash flow from operations.

As described in Note B and above, on March 31, 1998, the Company sold its
payroll operations. The net proceeds of $8.0 million, net of $3.3 million in
payments due to third parties, was used to reduce the Revolving Loan to a
borrowing capacity of $4.0 million and to repay an additional $1.3 million under
the Term Loan. The remaining proceeds were used to reduce the outstanding
borrowings under the Collateralized Revolving Loan and outstanding trade
payables. The Company has met all of its debt obligations and is not in default
of any of its loan agreements. The Company continues to monitor its cash
position and believes that sufficient funding exists to meet its obligations as
they come due.
