                     THE STANDARD REGISTER COMPANY
                  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                  OF THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Net income for the second quarter 1994 was $10.6 million, a 10.6%
increase compared to the second quarter 1993 result of $9.5 million;
earnings per share were $.37 vs. $.33 a year earlier.  For the six
months year-to-date period, net income was $20.6 million or $.72 per
share, an 8.8% increase compared to 1993's $18.9 million and $.66 per
share result.

Total revenue increased 5.5% and 7.0% for the quarter and year-to-date
periods, respectively.  Business forms shipments rose 4.8% and 7.3% for
the respective reporting periods as the growth of pressure sensitive,
Stanfast, Imprint, cut sheet, and forms management services overcame
the continuing weakness in traditional custom continuous, stock, and
unit set form categories.  The 4.8% second quarter increase in business
forms was a result of both higher unit shipment levels and an average
3.0% increase in net selling prices.  Promotional direct mail shipments
were off 2.3% in the quarter and were up a modest 1.7% for the six
month period, reflecting an increasingly price competitive marketplace. 
Following a flat first quarter performance, equipment, supplies, and
related maintenance services rose a healthy 17.5% for the quarter on
the strength of continued expansion in third party maintenance
services.

1994 pretax profit margins as a percent of revenue have improved vs.
1993 for both the quarter and year-to-date periods--from 8.9% to 9.6%
in the quarter and 8.9% to 9.4% for the first half.  For the second
quarter this is attributed to improved gross margins driven by higher
average pricing and improved manufacturing cost ratios.  The favorable
year-to-date comparison reflects a favorable spread between the growth
rates of revenue and operating expenses.

Paper costs, which represent approximately half the manufacturing cost
of a typical business form, began to rise in June after eight months of
weakness.  By September, weighted average purchase prices for all
material categories are expected to increase 12%.  The company has
announced a 5% price increase for the majority of its forms products
effective August 1.  The most recent general price increase for
business forms was in July 1993 and the company expects to recover the
August 1 forms price increase over the near term.

The effective income tax rate was 40.2% for the second quarter 1994 vs.
38.6 for the 1993 quarter; the year-to-date comparisons show an almost
identical disparity.  The increased rates reflect higher state and
local tax rates and the 1% rise in the federal tax rate that was
adopted with a retroactive adjustment in the fourth quarter 1993.  The
total year effective tax rate for 1994 is expected to be similar to
last year's 40.0%.

The acquisition by the company of the Promotional Graphics Division of
Uarco became effective June 30, 1994.  This division, which markets
promotional direct mail produced by its Eudora , Kansas plant, has been
consolidated with Standard's COMMUNICOLOR Division.  The acquisition
provides the company with needed promotional printing capacity, a
western manufacturing operation, an expanded product offering,
experienced personnel, and a customer base that is expected initially
to add approximately $20 million to annual revenues.

Net cash flow for the first half 1994 was a negative $27.2 million vs.
an outflow of $1.8 million for the same period of 1993.  The $25.4
million greater outflow in 1994 resulted primarily from the acquisition
of Promotional Graphics plus increased capital spending.  1994's
capital spending includes projects to expand production capacity for
growth products and the continuing development of internal systems to
improve customer service and operating effectiveness.  1994 annual
capital expenditures are expected to total approximately $55 million,
including the Promotional Graphics acquisition.  Cash flow from
operations and financing activities was little changed from last year's
first half result.

At quarter-end, cash and equivalents stood at $51.8 million.  Total
debt, including current maturities, was $20.8 million, producing a net
cash position of $31.0 million.  Current assets were 4.9 times the
level of current liabilities.  The company believes that a combination
of internally generated funds and current cash reserves will be
adequate to meet operating and financing needs for the near term.
