(b)  Pro Forma Financial Information:

     On April 22, 1996, Mail-Well, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary
     Mail-Well I Corporation (the "Company"), acquired substantially all of the
     assets and certain of the liabilities of Quality Park Products, Inc.
     ("QPP"), a company that operates three envelope manufacturing facilities in
     the United States.  On August 25, 1995, Mail-Well, Inc., through its
     wholly-owned subsidiary Mail-Well I Corporation, acquired all of the
     outstanding stock of Graphic Arts Center, Inc. ("GAC"), one of the leading
     high impact commercial printers in the United States.  On July 31, 1995,
     Mail-Well, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary Mail-Well I
     Corporation, acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of
     Supremex, Inc. ("Supremex") a Canadian manufacturer of envelopes.
     Collectively, these acquisitions are defined as the "Acquisitions".  On
     December 19, 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
     American Envelope Company ("American"), a manufacturer of envelopes.

     In September 1995, Mail-Well, Inc. completed an initial public offering
     (the "Offering") of 5,000,000 shares of common stock at $14.00 per share.
     The net proceeds of the Offering, after underwriting commissions and
     expenses, were approximately $64.4 million.

     The attached unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for
     Mail-Well I Corporation consists of an Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
     Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1995,
     and for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, and an Unaudited Pro Forma
     Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1996 (collectively, the "Pro
     Forma Statements"). The Pro Forma Statements give effect to the Offering,
     the Acquisitions and related financings. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
     Consolidated Statements of Operations give effect to the Acquisitions as if
     they had occurred on January 1, 1995. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated
     Balance Sheet gives effect to such transactions as if they had occurred on
     March 31, 1996. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available
     information and upon certain

     assumptions that management of the Company believes are reasonable under
     the circumstances.

                        Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors
Quality Park Products, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Quality Park Products, Inc. as
of March 31, 1996, and the related statements of income and retained earnings
(deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Quality Park Products, Inc. at
March 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                March 31, 1996

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Quality Park Products, Inc. ("the Company") manufactures a broad line of
commodity envelopes with primary emphasis in the office products market to
wholesale customers nationwide. The Company's products include open-side
envelopes, open-end envelopes, special purpose envelopes, filing supplies and
paper. The Company is a national distributor with four plants located in
Beresford, South Dakota; Atlanta, Georgia; St. George, Utah; and St. Paul,
Minnesota. Principal customers include national wholesale stationers, large
national office products dealers and superstores.

The Company is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Triumph Group Holdings,
Inc. ("the Parent").

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The last-in, first-out
(LIFO) cost method represents approximately 83% of inventories at March 31,
1996. The first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method represents approximately 17% of
inventories at March 31, 1996.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over
the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to thirty-nine
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the
lease or the life of the asset.
<PAGE>
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred income taxes
are provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax
basis of assets and liabilities.

Taxable income or loss of the Company is included in the consolidated federal
income tax return of the Parent. In accordance with the Parent's income tax
policy, income taxes are allocated to the Company based on amounts the Company
would pay or receive if it filed a separate federal income tax return, except
that the Company receives credit from the Parent for the tax benefit of the
Company's net operating losses and tax credits, to the extent that they can be
utilized in the Parent's consolidated federal income tax return.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on
long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present
and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are
less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement No. 121 also addresses the
accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The
Company does not believe the effect of adoption will be material.

</TABLE>

5. INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. These differences relate
to the tax treatment of inventory, allowance for doubtful accounts, financing
lease obligations, vacation pay and accelerated depreciation methods used for
tax purposes.

                                             ==========  
</TABLE>

The effective tax rate of 36% for the year ended March 31, 1996 exceeds the
federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of the provision for state
income taxes, net of federal benefit.

Taxable income or loss of the Company is included in the consolidated federal
income tax return of the Parent. Income taxes were paid by the Parent on behalf
of the consolidated group during the year ended March 31, 1996. $1,567,000 of

</TABLE>

The industrial revenue bonds bear interest at 7.5% per annum. In connection with
the sale of the Company (see Note 10), the bonds were paid in April 1996.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for the Company's long-term
debt approximate their fair values. Interest paid on indebtedness and
intercompany borrowings during the year ended March 31, 1996 amounted to
$2,054,000.
<PAGE>
 
7. INTERCOMPANY BORROWINGS

Intercompany borrowings represent amounts received from the Parent to finance
the Company's operations and the initial acquisition by the Parent. Interest is
paid to the Parent based on the Parent's borrowing rate under financing
arrangements with third party lenders. Various provisions of the Parent's
financing arrangements with third parties contain covenants and restrictions to
which the Company adheres. Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged
as collateral under the Parent's financing arrangements. The weighted average
interest rate on intercompany borrowings at March 31, 1996 was 8.1%.

8. COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain property and various equipment under noncancelable
operating leases which expire in September 2004. Rent expense charged to

                 NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET


The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects adjustments to record the
Quality Park Products, Inc. ("QPP") acquisition.  The total purchase price
included $25.1 million for the net assets of QPP, $1.0 million for a payment due
upon certain earnings targets (but not less than $1.0 million) plus transaction
costs. The purchase price has been allocated to the fair value of the acquired
assets and liabilities resulting in the following adjustments:

     (a)  Recording of the reduction in inventories of $0.2 million for the
          write-off of spare parts which was included in inventory, a $0.3
          million increase in inventory to fair value and $2.7 million related
          to the reversal of the LIFO reserve.

     (b)  Adjustment for assets not purchased.

     (c)  Recording of goodwill of $3.1 million.

     (d)  Recording of deferred financing costs associated with this
          transaction.

     (e)  Recording of value associated with an intangible asset of $0.5
          million.

     (f)  Reduction for $0.2 million of accrued liabilities not purchased.  
          Amount represents income taxes payable.

     (g)  Adjustment for debt not assumed.

     (h)  Recording of other current liabilities of $1.2 million which
          represents the Company's estimate of costs to close the St. Paul,
          Minnesota operations of the Company.  Estimated costs include
          severance and plant closing expenses.

     (i)  Amount represents debt incurred of $25.9 million.

     (j)  Adjustment for deferred income taxes not assumed.

     (k)  Adjustment represents the minimum payment to the seller which is due
          after the final QPP financial results for the twelve months ended
          March 31, 1997.

     (l)  Adjustment to reflect the QPP acquisition in equity.

                          NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                     CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

(a)  Supremex amounts included in the pro forma condensed consolidated statement
     of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995, represent the
     historical results of operations for the period from January 1, 1995
     through July 31, 1995.  The historical financial information for Supremex
     has been translated to United States dollars at the average exchange rate
     in effect during the period.  The Supremex financial information has been
     adjusted to conform to United States generally accepted accounting
     principles.

(b)  GAC amounts included in the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
     operations for the year ended December 31, 1995, represent the historical
     results of operations for the period from January 1, 1995 through August
     24, 1995.

(c)  QPP amounts included in the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
     operations for the year ended December 31, 1995, represent the historical
     results of operations for the year ended March 31, 1996.  QPP amounts
     included in the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations
     for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, represent the historical results of
     operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

(d)  Reflects adjustments to the Supremex acquisition, as follows:
     (1)  Adjustment to reduce cost of goods sold by $0.2 million for the seven
          months ended July 31, 1995 for the reduction in the cost of paper
          purchased by Supremex.  Due to the Company's large volume of paper
          purchases, the Company has historically purchased paper at lower
          prices than Supremex.  Subsequent to the Supremex acquisition, the
          paper purchases of Supremex were negotiated on a combined basis with
          the Company, and paper costs to Supremex were reduced.

     (2)  Adjustment to reduce cost of goods sold by $0.7 million for the year
          ended December 31, 1995 to eliminate non-recurring charges related to
          the Supremex Acquisition in July 1995.  The historical financial
          statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1995,
          include a charge to cost of goods sold of $0.7 million related to the
          adjustment of inventories to fair value in connection with the
          Supremex Acquisition.

     (3)  Adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense, as follows:

          Amortization of goodwill                                $0.5 million
          Elimination of historical amortization                  (0.5) million
          Reduction of depreciation                               (0.4) million
                                                                  -----        
               Total                                             $(0.4) million
                                                                 ======        
</TABLE> 
<PAGE>
 
          Amortization of goodwill is based on amortization over 40 years.  The
          change in depreciation expense results from an increase in the
          estimated useful lives of the purchased assets offset by an increase
          in the depreciable basis in connection with the allocation of purchase
          price.

     (4)  Adjustment to reflect interest expense on the additional bank
          borrowings incurred to consummate the Supremex acquisition and to
          adjust interest on previous Supremex bank debt being refinanced, based
          on (i) average total bank borrowings of $49.9 million and an average
          interest rate of 8.75% for the seven months ended July 31, 1995, and
          (ii) amortization of deferred financing costs incurred in connection
          with the Supremex acquisition.

(e)  Reflects adjustments to the GAC acquisition, as follows:
     (1)  Adjustment to reduce cost of goods sold by $0.4 million for the year
          ended December 31, 1995 to eliminate non-recurring charges related to
          the GAC Acquisition in August 1995.  The historical financial
          statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1995,
          include a charge to cost of goods sold of $0.4 million related to the
          adjustment of inventories to fair value in connection with the GAC
          Acquisition.

     (2)  Adjustment to reduce selling and administrative expense of GAC by $0.5
          million for the period ended August 24, 1995, consisting of:  (i)
          management advisory fees of $0.1 million; and (ii)  expenses of $0.4
          million related to a proposed initial public offering by GAC which was
          not completed.

     (3)  Adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense, as follows:

          <S>                                                         <C> 
          Amortization of goodwill                                    $0.5 million
          Elimination of historical amortization                      (0.2) million
                                                                      -----        
               Total                                                  $0.3 million
                                                                      ====        
</TABLE> 

          Amortization of goodwill is based on amortization over 40 years.

     (4)  Adjustment to reflect interest expense on the additional bank
          borrowings incurred to consummate the GAC acquisition and to adjust
          interest on previous GAC bank debt being refinanced, based on (i)
          average total bank borrowings of $79.5 million and an average interest
          rate of 8.75% for the eight months ended August 24, 1995, and (ii)
          amortization of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with
          the GAC acquisition.

(f)  Reflects adjustments related to the American Acquisition, as follows:
<PAGE>
 
     (1)  Adjustment to reduce cost of goods sold by $0.5 million for the year
          ended December 31, 1995 to eliminate non-recurring charges related to
          the American Acquisition in December 1994.  The historical financial
          statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 1995, include a
          charge to cost of goods sold of $0.5 million related to the adjustment
          of inventories to fair value in connection with the American
          Acquisition.

(g)  Adjustment to interest expense to reflect terms under the Bank Credit
     Agreement. In connection with the acquisitions of GAC and Supremex, the
     Company amended and restated the Bank Credit Agreement.  Under the Bank
     Credit Agreement, the Company is charged lower interest rates on all
     borrowings, including those borrowings in place prior to the GAC
     acquisition and the Supremex acquisition.  The adjustment reduces interest
     expense by 1/2% per annum on average actual borrowings by the Company.

(h)  The Company used the proceeds of the Offering to repay $50.0 million in
     term loans and $14.4 million in revolving credit loans under the Bank
     Credit Agreement.  Unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.8 million were
     charged against earnings related to the partial repayment of debt under the
     Bank Credit Agreement.  The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
     operations do not reflect this non-recurring charge.  Adjustment to reduce
     interest expense of $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 for
     the reduction of debt under the Bank Credit Agreement, resulting in a
     corresponding reduction of interest expense and amortization of debt
     issuance costs.

(i)  Adjustment to record the income tax effects of the GAC and Supremex
     Acquisitions.

(j)  Reflects adjustments to the QPP acquisition, as follows:
     (1)  Adjustment to reduce cost of goods sold by $0.4 million and $0.1
          million, respectively, for the year and quarter ended March 31, 1996
          for the reduction in the cost of paper purchased by QPP.  Due to the
          Company's large volume of paper purchases, the Company has
          historically purchased paper at lower prices than QPP.  Subsequent to
          the QPP acquisition, the paper purchases of QPP will be negotiated on
          a combined basis with the Company, and paper costs to QPP will be
          reduced.

     (2)  Adjustment to reflect interest expense of $2.4 million and $0.6
          million for the year and quarter ended March 31, 1996, respectively,
          on the additional bank borrowings incurred to consummate the QPP
          acquisition, based on average additional borrowings of $26.6 million
          and an average interest rate of 9.1% and 8.4% for the year and quarter
          ended March 31, 1996, respectively.  This expense has been reduced by
          the historical interest

          recorded by QPP which would not have been paid of $2.0 million and
          $0.4 million for the year and quarter ended March 31, 1996,
          respectively.
