MAIL-WELL I CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations - Mail-Well I Corporation ("M-W Corp." or the "Company")
is the largest printer and manufacturer of envelopes in the United States and
Canada competing primarily in the higher-margin consumer direct market
segment of the envelope printing industry in which envelopes are designed and
manufactured to customer specifications. The Company is also a leading high
impact color printer specializing in printing advertising literature, high-
end catalogs and annual reports and is recognized as an innovative provider
of quality printed products to leading companies in the United States. Mail-
Well, Inc. (the "Parent") owns 100% of the Company's common stock.
On July 31, 1995, M-W Corp. acquired all of the outstanding shares of common
stock of Supremex, Inc. ("Supremex") a Canadian printer and manufacturer of
envelopes (the "Supremex Acquisition"). On August 25, 1995, M-W Corp.
acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Graphic Arts
Center, Inc. ("GAC"), one of the leading high impact commercial printers in
the United States (the "GAC Acquisition").
In April 1996, M-W Corp. acquired substantially all of the assets of Quality
Park Products, Inc. ("Quality"), a printer and manufacturer of envelopes (the
"Quality Acquisition"). The total consideration for the Quality Acquisition
was approximately $26.6 million. The Quality Acquisition was financed by
amending and restating the current bank credit agreement to add $20,000,000
in term loans to the current facility and to allow the use of funds from the
revolver facilities to finance the remainder of the Quality Acquisition.
The Supremex Acquisition, GAC Acquisition and Quality Acquisition were
accounted for as purchases and accordingly, the net purchase prices were
allocated to the various purchased assets according to their fair value at
the date of purchase.
The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results of operations as
if the Supremex Acquisition and the GAC Acquisition had occurred on January
1, 1994 and the Quality Acquisition (collectively, the "Acquisitions") had
occurred on January 1, 1995. As these Acquisitions were accounted for as
purchases, their results of operations are included in the Company's
statements of operations from the dates of the respective acquisitions. The
summary pro forma results are based on assumptions and are not necessarily
indicative of the results which would have occurred had the Acquisitions
actually taken place on the dates specified above, or of the future results
of operations of the Company.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements for all
periods presented include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
6
<PAGE>
Cash - Cash is managed using zero balance bank accounts.
Interim Financial Information - The financial information contained herein is
unaudited and includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the information set
forth. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements which are included in
the Company's Form 10-K. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year of the Company
ending December 31, 1996. The Company believes that the report filed on Form
10-Q is representative of its financial position, its results of operations
and its cash flow for the quarters and periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
Fiscal Period - Each fiscal quarter includes thirteen weeks. The Company's
second fiscal quarter ends on the last Saturday in June. For presentation
purposes, however, the fiscal quarter is presented as if it ended on June 30,
1996.
Inventories - Inventories for all entities, except for one wholly-owned
subsidiary, are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost or
market and include the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead.
Pavey inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the last-in,
first-out ("LIFO") method, or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment is recorded at
cost. Replacements of major units of property are capitalized and the
replaced properties are retired. Replacements of minor units of property and
repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Income Taxes - The provision for income taxes is based on income recognized
for financial statement purposes and includes the effects of temporary
differences between such income and that recognized for tax return purposes.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan - Unearned ESOP compensation balance is
presented in the accompanying financial statements as a reduction of equity.
As the ESOP shares are allocated to participants, the unearned ESOP
compensation balance will decrease and compensation expense will be recorded.
Foreign Currency Translation - The balance sheet of Supremex is translated
from Canadian dollars, the functional currency of Supremex, to U.S. dollars
at the period end rates of exchange. Results of operations are translated at
average rates prevailing during the period. The effects of translation at the
balance sheet date are accumulated as the cumulative foreign currency
translation adjustment in stockholders' equity.
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Reclassification - Certain amounts in the 1995 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to 1996 presentation.

provide an effective LIBOR interest rate cap of 8.5% and expire May 16, 1997;
agreements for a notional value of $35,000,000 provide an effective LIBOR
interest rate cap of 9.0% and expire March 31, 1997.
At June 30, 1996, M-W Corp. had an outstanding currency rate swap agreement
with a notional amount of $46.0 million which involves the exchange of
floating rate U.S. dollar denominated debt for floating rate Canadian dollar
denominated debt at a contracted exchange rate. At June 30,
8
<PAGE>
1996, M-W Corp. has recorded a receivable of $33,000 related to this
agreement. This amount represents the difference between the quarter end
exchange rate and the fixed exchange rate multiplied by the notional amount
of the contract.
5. PENDING ACQUISITION
In June, the Company announced that Supremex had signed a letter of intent to
acquire substantially all of the Canadian assets of Pac National Group
Products, Inc. ("PNG"), a Canadian envelope manufacturer based in Ontario.
The Bureau of Competition Policy in Canada has issued approval for the
transaction. In addition, the transaction is subject to negotiation of a
definitive acquisition agreement, due diligence and other closing conditions.

Quarter Ended June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1995
Operations of Acquired Business - Included in the results for the three and six
months ended June 1996 are the operations of Quality since the date of
acquisition. Quality's net sales of $20.4 million for the second quarter of
1996 represents a $3.2 million decline in sales as compared to the same period
in 1995. This decline was due to the loss of a major customer (which occurred
prior to the acquisition of Quality by the Company) representing $3.9 million in
sales offset by sales increases to other customers of $0.7 million. The gross
margins for Quality have improved from the prior year due to the discontinuation
of certain discounted pricing programs.
10
<PAGE>
The following discussion does not include the results of Quality's operations.
Net Sales - Net sales decreased 7.1% for the quarter ended June 1996 compared to
June 1995. The average price increased by 4.3% from the average 1995 sales
price. The increase was due to a favorable product mix and maintaining selling
prices despite decreasing paper costs. Total volume for the U.S. envelope
operations decreased 9.7% to 6.0 billion units for the quarter ended June 1996
from 6.6 billion units for the quarter ended June 1995. Volume in the second
quarter was negatively impacted by lower demand in the direct mail and merchant
markets.
Cost of Sales - The total cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was
consistent with 1995 at 76.5%. Margin as a percent to sales was consistent
despite lower paper costs due to a fall in proceeds from the sale of waste paper
and increases in other costs as a percentage of sales. Material costs,
exclusive of waste revenue, were 44.2% and 49.3% of net sales for the quarters
ended June 1996 and 1995, respectively. For the quarter ended June 1996, the
average cost of 24# white wove was approximately $36.50 per CWT versus $49.00
for the same period in 1995. Waste paper revenues declined from 4.4% of sales
in the second quarter of 1995 to 1.4% in the second quarter of 1996, as average
hard white waste paper prices dropped from $601 per ton for the quarter ended
June 1995 to $207 per ton for the quarter ended 1996. Labor and other and
manufacturing expenses increased to 33.7% of sales in the second quarter of 1996
compared to 31.7% in the second quarter of 1995 despite cost cutting measures
due to lower sales volumes.
The Company believes that material gross margin per unit (measured on a per
thousand envelope basis) and volume of units sold are better indicators of its
revenue trends than its net sales, since historically the Company has passed on
to its customers changes in its cost of paper. When measured on a unit basis,
material gross margin increased from $10.50 per thousand units in the second
quarter of 1995 to $11.37 per thousand units in the same period in 1996. The
increase in material gross margin on a unit basis is attributable to the
Company's ability to maintain sales price in a period of declining paper prices.
The effect of lower paper prices on material gross margin was partly offset by a
decrease in proceeds from the sale of waste paper. Waste revenue declined from
$0.84 per thousand units in the second quarter 1995 to $0.28 per thousand units
in 1996 (a dollar decline of $4.0 million).
Selling and Administrative - Selling and administrative expenses, as a percent
of sales, decreased to 11.7% from 12.1% due to efficiencies realized in the
consolidation efforts of certain functions when businesses have been acquired.
EBITDA - EBITDA, as a percentage of sales, increased to 11.8% for the period
ended June 1996, from 11.3% for the same period in 1995.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1995
Operations of Acquired Business - Included in the results for the three and six
months ended June 1996 are the operations of Quality since the date of
acquisition. Quality's net sales of $20.4 million for the second quarter of
1996 represents a $3.2 million decline in sales as compared to the same period
in 1995. This decline was due to the loss of a major customer (which occurred
prior to the acquisition of Quality by the Company) representing $3.9 million in
sales offset by sales increases to other customers of $0.7 million. The gross
margins for Quality have improved from the prior year due to the discontinuation
of certain discounted pricing programs.
The following discussion does not include the results of Quality's operations.
Net Sales - Net sales decreased 1.9% for the six months ended June 1996 compared
to the same period ended June 1995. The average price increased by 8.1% from
the average 1995 sales price. The increase was due to a favorable product mix
and maintaining selling prices despite decreasing paper costs. Total volume for
the U.S. envelope operations decreased 7.0% to 12.3 billion units for the period
ended June 1996 from 13.2 billion units for period ended June 1995. Volume in
the first half of the year was
11
<PAGE>
negatively impacted by lower direct mail and merchant volume combined with
adverse weather in the first quarter.
Cost of Sales - The total cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, increased
from 75.9% in the first half of 1995 to 77.5% in the same period for 1996.
Margin, as a percent of sales, decreased despite lower paper costs due to a fall
in proceeds from the sale of waste paper and increases in other costs as a
percentage of sales. Material costs, exclusive of waste revenue, were 46.5% and
48.3% of net sales for the quarters ended June 1996 and 1995, respectively. For
the six months ended June 1996, the average cost of 24# white wove was
approximately $39.70 per CWT versus $47.00 for the same period in 1995. Waste
paper revenues declined from 4.4% of sales in the first six months of 1995 to
1.6% in 1996, as hard white waste paper prices dropped from an average of $578
per ton in 1995 to $234 per ton in 1996. Labor and other and manufacturing
expenses increased to 32.6% of sales in the first half of 1996 compared to 32.1%
in the first half of 1995.
The Company believes that material gross margin per unit (measured on a per
thousand envelope basis) and volume of units sold are better indicators of its
revenue trends than its net sales, since historically the Company has passed on
to its customers changes in its cost of paper. When measured on a unit basis,
material gross margin increased from $10.42 per thousand units in the first half
of 1995 to $11.09 per thousand units in the same period in 1996. The increase
in material gross margin on a unit basis is attributable to the Company's
ability to maintain sales prices in a period of declining paper prices. The
effect of lower paper prices on material gross margin was partly offset by a
decrease in proceeds from the sale of waste paper. Waste revenue declined from
$0.82 per thousand units in the first half of 1995 to $0.33 per thousand units
in 1996.
Selling and Administrative - For the six months ended June 1996, selling and
administrative expenses, as a percent of sales, decreased to 11.6% from 12.4%
compared to the same period in 1995. The decrease is due to the reduction or
elimination of certain functions when businesses have been acquired, resulting
in cost savings.
EBITDA - EBITDA, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 10.9% for the period
ended June 1996, from 11.7% for the same period in 1995. This EBITDA decline
represents the lower demand in the direct mail and merchant markets.

Quarter Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to the Quarter Ended June 30, 1995
Net Sales - Net sales in the three months ended June 1996 decreased by 8.7%.
The units sold in the quarter ended June 1996 decreased by 6.1% compared to the
same period in 1995. The decline in units sold is due to the weak demand in the
direct mail segment of the envelope market. The average selling price decreased
to $20.16 per thousand units sold in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
$20.72 in the second quarter of 1995. The decrease in selling price is due to
passing on to customers the reduction in raw material costs of 14.4% as compared
to the quarter ended 1995.
Cost of Sales - Cost of sales for the quarters ended June 1996 and 1995 remained
steady at 68.0% of sales. Total raw material costs decreased 14.4% to $8.8
million for the quarter ended June 1996. This reduction is due to the lower
paper prices in 1996; the average cost per CWT of paper used decreased by 17.6%
from the same quarter in 1995. The total gross profit (calculated as net sales
less cost of goods sold) per thousand units decreased to $6.44 per thousand
units for the second quarter of 1996 from $6.60 per thousand units for the
comparable period in 1995. This decrease was due to the lower sales prices and
decreased volume as total cost of sales (as a percentage of sales) did not
fluctuate for the period.
Selling and Administrative - For the quarter ended June 1996, selling and
administrative expenses decreased by $0.2 million from the comparable period in
1995. The decrease is mainly the result of the shutdown of Brantford
manufacturing facility.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
Net Sales - Net sales decreased by 1.0% from the first half of 1996 compared to
1995. The average selling price increased by 7.3% from $19.41 per thousand
units in the first half of 1995 to $20.82 per thousand units in 1996. The
increase was due to a favorable product mix and maintaining average selling
prices despite decreasing paper costs. Total volume for Canadian envelope
operations decreased by 7.6% to 2.0 billion units for the period ended June 1996
from 2.2 billion units for the period ended June 1995. Volume in the first half
of the year was negatively impacted by a weak Canadian economy in 1996.
Cost of Sales - Cost of sales remained steady at approximately 69.7% as a
percentage of sales for the first half of 1996 as compared to the same period in
1995. The cost of raw materials, which is mainly paper, decreased 2.6% from
1995. This reduction was due to the lower paper prices in 1996; the average
cost by CWT of paper used is down 12.8% from 1995. The product mix changed such
that products with a higher paper content were sold in 1996 thus increasing the
selling price. Waste revenue decreased from 2.5% of sales in 1995 to 1.0% of
sales in 1996 due to the weaker market for waste paper. Additionally , there was
a higher gross profit contribution on units sold in 1996 compared to 1995 due to
signed contracts for envelopes at the higher paper prices. The total gross
profit, calculated as net sales less cost of goods sold, per thousand units
increased by 6.1% to $6.31 per thousand units in 1996 from $5.95 per thousand
units in 1995.
Selling and Administrative - The decline in selling and administrative expenses,
as a percentage of sales, is primarily due to a reduction of professional fees
and to the shutdown of the Brantford manufacturing facility. The sales force
has been reduced and administrative responsibilities combined with other
regions.

</TABLE>
Quarter Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to the Quarter Ended June 30, 1995
Net Sales and Cost of Sales - Net sales of $24.3 million for the three months
ended June 1996 decreased 32.7% over the same period in the prior year. The
decline in sales consisted almost entirely of decreased web sales, which were
down from the prior year by $11.5 million. The decrease in web sales reflects
the competitive market for web sales as well as an overall drop in catalog and
other long run web work used for general advertising. The latter was reflected
in a drop in advertising insert work related to new car introductions. Finally,
GAC continues to shift its product mix from catalogs to advertising and
commercial work, which is generally shorter run, sheetfed work. Gross margin
was 24.3% for the three month period ended June 1996 as compared to 22.2% for
the period ended June 1995. This improvement reflects lower material costs.
The lower material costs are primarily the result of the disproportionate
decline in paper intensive web sales noted above. Production efficiency has
improved and fixed manufacturing expenses have been reduced but the more
competitive print market continues to drive down margins.
Selling and Administrative - GAC's selling and administrative expenses increased
as a percentage of sales from 14.2% to 16.2% as a result of the decline in
volume. Cost reductions have been and continue to be made which include
reductions in spoilage, production supplies, employee counts and travel and
entertainment expenses.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
Net Sales and Cost of Sales - Of the $8.1 million decline in net sales, $11.8
million is due to the poor web sales in the second quarter. For the first
quarter of 1996, net sales increased $3.7 million on unit growth in the annual
reports segment of the market. GAC is also beginning to generate volume from
its Northern California facility in the sheetfed market. GAC's gross margin was
19.1% for the six month period ended June 1996 compared to 23.7% for the six
months ended June 1995. The overall decline reflects the continuing competitive
market for printing services in GAC's markets.
Selling and Administrative - The decline in year to date selling and
administrative expenses is as expected given the cost reduction efforts which
include reductions in spoilage, production supplies, employee counts and travel
and entertainment expenses.

</TABLE>
Depreciation Expense - The depreciation expense increased for the quarter and
six months ended June 1996 compared to the quarter and year-to-date period in
the prior year due to the depreciation of the property acquired in the
acquisitions of Supremex, GAC and Quality.
Amortization Expense - The amortization expense increased due to the
amortization of the intangibles acquired in the acquisitions of Supremex, GAC
and Quality.
Interest Expense - The interest expense increase for the quarter and six months
ended June 1996 was the result of larger debt balances as compared to the same
period in 1995 due to the debt incurred in the acquisitions of Supremex, GAC and
Quality. Included in the interest expense amount is the amortization of
deferred financing costs. The 1995 interest amount also includes the accretion
of the discount on the deferred coupon notes which were repurchased in the
second half of 1995.
Corporate Selling and Administrative Expenses - These expenses are those
incurred to run the corporate office of the Company. They include, primarily,
the salaries and benefits of corporate staff, investor relations, professional
fees and certain insurance policies. The increases from the same periods in
1995 represent the additional expenses incurred with resources devoted to
corporate communications with investors and acquisition activities.
Loss on Disposal of Assets - This loss primarily represents the loss on the
disposal of certain assets when consolidating the Texas facilities and
relocating the Philadelphia facility.
Income Taxes - The effective tax rate for the year to date period ended June
1996 is 42.8% as compared to an effective tax rate of 44.3% for the year to date
period ended June 1995. The effective tax rate for both periods is higher than
the federal statutory rate due to state and provincial income taxes. The rate
is less than that in the prior year due to significant tax planning including
the reorganization of the U.S. envelope divisions to minimize state income
taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historical Cash Flow - Net cash provided by operating activities was $36.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996; net cash provided by operating
activities totaled $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The
acquisition of Quality required the use of $25.6 million of cash of which $22.5
million was borrowed under the Company's bank credit agreement. Other investing
activities for both periods include capital expenditures of $7.1 million for
1996 and $3.6 million for 1995. Proceeds of $2.1 million in 1996 represent the
sale of a manufacturing building in Denver. The 1996 expenditures were
15
<PAGE>
offset by the proceeds of $0.25 million from the maturity of temporary cash
investments. The repurchase of deferred coupon notes in 1995 consumed $0.3
million of cash.
Debt Obligations - As of June 30, 1996, the Company had borrowed $46.6 million
(including $5.1 million in letters of credit) under the revolving credit
facility of the Bank Credit Agreement. After giving effect to borrowing base
limitations, $55.3 million was available for additional borrowings. Interest
rates on the Company's bank debt ranged from 7.50% to 8.4375 % as of June 30,
1996. The average interest rate was 8.1%.
Capital Requirements - The Company estimates that, based on current utilization
of its existing equipment and expected demand, it will spend $15.0 to $20.0
million per year on capital expenditures exclusive of acquisitions.
Effects of Inflation - The effects of inflation have not been material to the
Company. However, due to the competitive nature of its business, it may not
always be able to continue to pass on inflationary cost increases in the future.
Manufacturing costs are affected by inflation and the effects of inflation may
be experienced by the Company in future periods.
Effects of Foreign Currency - The effects of foreign currency exchange have not
been material to the Company to date. The Company recognized a net foreign
exchange gain of $43,000 in the first six months of 1996 which relates,
primarily, to U.S. dollar denominated debt borrowed by the Canadian subsidiary.
Term loans with a face value of $50,000,000 were borrowed in U.S. dollars and
are included in the balance sheet of Supremex. Supremex entered into a currency
rate swap agreement which involves the exchange of floating U.S. dollar
denominated debt for floating rate Canadian dollar denominated debt at a
contracted exchange rate. This swap agreement is intended to minimize the
exchange rate risk to the Company.
Seasonality and Environmental - The effects of seasonality and environmental
matters had no material financial impact on the historical operations of the
Company and are not expected to have an effect on the Company's liquidity and
capital resources.
