PART I

ITEM 1. Business

A. General

Anacomp, Inc., (Anacomp or the Company) is a leading information management
company which provides micrographics products and services, magnetics products
and electronic image management systems to a broad range of customers
worldwide. The Company's fiscal 1994 revenue was $ 593 million and operating
income (continuing operations income before interest, other income and taxes)
was $ 80 million. Approximately 29% of the Company's revenues are derived from
international business.

Anacomp was incorporated in Indiana in 1968. By 1986, Anacomp had become,
through acquisitions and internal growth, the leading company in the Computer
Output Microfilm (COM) data service center segment of the micrographics
industry. COM is a process for transferring large volumes of information
created by data processing directly from electronic form to microfilm.
Microfilm is a cost-effective alternative to the use of paper or electronic
files as a means of information storage and retrieval.

In 1987, Anacomp acquired the stock of DatagraphiX, Inc., the world's leading
manufacturer of COM systems, from General Dynamics Corporation. The
acquisition of DatagraphiX, which developed the first COM system in 1954, made
Anacomp the world's leading provider of COM products and services by adding COM
systems and maintenance to the Company's product line.

In 1988, the Company acquired Xidex Corporation, the leading manufacturer and
distributor of duplicate microfilm (a consumable supply used in the COM
process) and microfilm readers and reader/printers. Xidex was also a
manufacturer and marketer of computer tape products.

In the early 1990's, Anacomp, recognizing the evolution of technologies
competing with COM, modified its strategic objective to becoming a provider of
information and image management products and services. Today, in addition to
being the world's largest provider of COM solutions for image and information
management, Anacomp offers electronic image management products and services.
These include writable/erasable magneto-optical disks, CD-R (Compact Disk,
Recordable) optical disks and CD-ROM (Compact Disk, Read Only Memory) optical
disk storage systems. The Company is also a major manufacturer and distributor
of computer tape products used by data processing operations. Additionally,
Anacomp provides image and data conversion services whereby documents in human
readable form are scanned and digitized for storage on any of the various
electronic storage media.

Anacomp's strategy is to provide customers a blend of COM and electronic
storage media products and systems that will give them the most cost effective
integrated data and image management storage and retrieval solution.

B. The Information and Image Management Industry

The Information and Image Management (I & IM) industry consists of companies
whose products and services store information in a compacted format. The trend
toward increased emphasis on efficient management of information is driven by
several factors. First, companies understand that effective information
management is an important competitive advantage and allows them to better
serve their customers. Second, the increasing amounts of data processing
output and stored information have made cost-effective and flexible information
management more important. Finally, information itself is coming to be viewed
as a strategic corporate asset and managing this asset is therefore crucial.

The two major technologies applied in the I&IM industry are: (a)
micrographics, which includes COM and source document micrographics and
(b) electronic image management, which includes magnetic and optical
technologies for both data and image storage and retrieval.

Micrographics

Micrographics is the conversion of information stored on paper or in electronic
form to microfilm or microfiche. Anacomp's primary micrographics business is
the sale of COM services, systems, and related maintenance and supplies.

COM is a sophisticated application of micrographics in which information is
directly converted at high speed from magnetic or electronic forms to
microfilm. COM systems, also known as COM recorders, create an image which is
transferred to microfilm. During this process, the COM recorder organizes the
information and inserts indexing, output formatting, titling and other
retrieval aids tailored to specific customer applications.

COM recorders are data processing peripherals which record computer-generated
data and graphics onto microfilm or microfiche at high speeds. COM was
initially developed as an information management system that would reduce the
cost and increase the speed of computer output by "printing" computer-generated
data on microfilm. Since then, COM recorders have become a standard computer-
output peripheral.

Compared to paper, COM has a number of benefits. COM recorders can print
reports substantially faster than typical impact printers and multiple copies
can be made easily and economically on high-speed duplicators. COM has other
important cost advantages as well. A COM recorder can print a 1,000 page
report on just four 4" by 6" microfiche. Mailing COM reports represents a
substantial cost savings over the shipment and handling of paper output. With
correct indexing, retrieval of information is easier and faster with COM than
with paper storage.

Anacomp offers a complete line of micrographics services and products,
including: (i) COM processing services provided to customers on an outsourcing
contract basis; (ii) COM systems for users who perform their own data
conversion to microfilm; (iii) maintenance services for COM and other
micrographics equipment; (iv) source document microfilming services; and (v)
consumable supplies used by micrographics systems. Anacomp also sells certain
computer tape and other magnetic media products.
4
Source document micrographics relates to the broad range of photographic,
mechanical and other technologies necessary to convert hard copy images to
microforms and then to store, retrieve, duplicate and reproduce such images.
Applications of source document micrographics include the transferring of paper
copy to a microform for more cost-effective storage.

By providing a full range of services, Anacomp can customize its offerings of
products and services to meet the specific needs of any customer. Once a
customer purchases a COM system from Anacomp, the Company has the opportunity
to provide follow-up service, including maintenance and supplies, as well as to
sell additional compatible hardware. Anacomp estimates that each dollar of COM
system sales generates 36 cents of annual supply revenue and 14 cents of annual
maintenance revenue.

Despite the continual decline in the cost of magnetic and optical storage media
and systems, micrographics technology is expected to retain significant cost
and functional advantages which will keep it competitive in a wide range of
applications beyond the year 2000. In addition, micrographics technology can
complement other storage media systems to meet the information management needs
of many companies.

Electronic Data and Image Management

Electronic data and image management is the application of various
technologies, including magnetic media and optical disks, to the storage and
retrieval of information and image data. Storage media include magnetic tape,
magnetic disks, writable/erasable magneto-optical disks, CD-R optical disks,
and CD-ROM optical disks. Data that is created during data processing
activities is directly written to the chosen media for later retrieval. Data
and images that are in human readable documents are scanned and digitized in
binary form and then recorded on the media of choice.

Electronic storage and management of image data provides users with improved
data retrieval access time and storage density as a trade off for increased
cost versus other storage technologies such as COM.

Anacomp's offerings in the electronic data and image management field include
systems incorporating magneto optical disks for use in large, high output
volume data centers, and CD-R storage systems intended for operations with only
a few users. The Company is also a major manufacturer and distributor of
magnetic storage media used by data processing operations, including open reel,
3480 cartridge and 3490 cartridge computer tape.

Anacomp, through its Image Conversion Services Division, provides data and
image conversion services where original source documents or other human
readable forms and images are scanned, digitized and stored in binary form on
any of a variety of magnetic or optical storage media.

Micrographics Services

The Company operates 47 data service centers in the United States. Anacomp's
data service centers, which generally operate 24 hours per day every day of
the year, receive on a daily basis thousands of magnetic tapes from more than
8,000 customers. The data service centers then convert the information on
these tapes to 16mm microfilm or to microfiche, which are 4" x 6" microfilm
cards, each of which can store approximately 250 pages of computer output.

For the typical Anacomp data service center customer, an Anacomp salesperson
identifies potential COM applications through a survey performed at the
customer's site or observation of paper reports at a data processing location.
For example, a bank may need to transfer a computerized record of all checking
account activity to microfiche for distribution and use at various branch
locations. The Anacomp salesperson obtains information regarding any
specialized requirements, such as customer indexing, retrieval, rapid
turnaround, conversion frequency or distribution, and relays this information
to Anacomp's software programmers. The Anacomp data service center then
creates a test sample for the customer. Once the test sample is approved
by the customer, Anacomp establishes a regular schedule for gathering the
customer's tapes for processing. The COM data service center creates,
processes, duplicates, packages and returns the microfiche to the customer.
Turnaround time ranges from two hours to 36 hours depending on customer needs.

Through its data service centers, Anacomp also offers CD-R data storage
services. This offering is for customers who prefer their computer output
stored on CD-R optical disks instead of microfiche. As with COM customers,
Anacomp receives data on computer tape or via direct transmission and records
the data on CD-Rs.

6
The data service center industry is highly fragmented with numerous small
operations in each major geographic market. Due to the emphasis on prompt
service, competition is primarily limited to data service centers within a 50-
mile radius of a customer. Anacomp and First Image Management Company (First
Image), a division of First Financial Management Corporation, are the two
largest U.S. data service center organizations. The remainder of the market
is served by numerous small, local data service centers.

The Company has been successful in acquiring data service centers located in
markets attractive to Anacomp and consolidating these operations with its
existing network where appropriate. Such acquisitions result in additional
volumes being serviced by Anacomp's existing data service centers, thereby
improving operating margins while maintaining competitive prices. Anacomp has
acquired 24 data service centers or the related COM services customers and
one microforms service center during the past three fiscal years.

In December 1993, Anacomp acquired two data service centers from First Image
in markets where Anacomp provides COM services to separate customer bases. In
January 1994, Anacomp acquired the COM services customers of 14 data service
centers from National Business Systems. These were also in markets where
Anacomp provides COM services. Consistent with past practices, all of these
operations were incorporated into existing Anacomp data service centers (See
Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In September 1993, Anacomp,
as part of a comprehensive agreement, sold two data service centers to First
Image. These centers were in markets whose potential did not meet Anacomp's
requirements.

Image Conversion Services

In October 1994, Anacomp established Image Conversion Services as a separate
division. Anacomp operates 11 image conversion centers which provide
microforms services. Microforms services take two forms: the conversion of
both active and archival paper documents to microfilm (source document
microfilming), and the reproduction of large data bases, such as parts
catalogs, on microfilm (micropublishing). Anacomp works closely with its
customers to determine how best to convert records to microfilm or microfiche
and to index them so that the information is easily accessed.

This division also provides a service to record data and/or image management
information onto CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, magneto optical disk, magnetic tape or other
electronic storage media. The process involves taking a human readable
document, usually an original source paper document, scanning and digitizing
the data, and recording it on the chosen media for later retrieval.

Image Conversion Services personnel are trained to work closely with Anacomp's
COM sales force to identify COM customers who are potential users of image
conversion services. Additionally, the Image Conversion Services sales force
prospects for new business from non-Anacomp COM customers. Anacomp competes
with EDS, customer in-house installations, and numerous small regional
providers.
7
COM Systems Anacomp is the world's leading manufacturer of COM systems,
manufacturing and marketing a complete line of COM recorders, processors
and duplicators, and related software.

The basic components of a COM recorder are relatively standard. An input
section receives data directly from a computer, from magnetic tape or any
other data storage device. The COM recorder interprets and converts the data
performing certain functions such as film manipulation, output formatting,
titling and index extraction. The data is converted into images and
transferred directly onto film and the finished microfilm and duplicates are
produced. Critical subassemblies for COM recorders and duplicators are
manufactured, assembled and tested at the Company's facilities in Poway,
California. Other components, such as tape drives, power supplies and frames
are purchased from outside vendors. Multiple sources for these components
exist.

Anacomp supplies a complete line of COM recorders covering all feature
possibilities, including wet or dry process technology, roll or cut fiche,
medium to high speed, stand-alone or integrated film processors and
duplicators, a PC-based operator control interface, and an electronic forms
generation capability on its laser-based system. All of the Company's COM
recorders are software compatible, which provides for customer transfer
throughout the product line.

In 1990, Anacomp introduced the XFP 2000 COM system. The XFP 2000 represents
the fourth generation of COM recorder technology. The XFP 2000 is the most
significant technological advance in the COM industry in the last decade,
permitting graphic as well as alphanumeric reproduction. The XFP 2000 is
faster and more reliable than previous COM recorders. When coupled with the
necessary software, the XFP 2000 can reproduce bit-mapped images and duplicate
the output of laser printers of various manufacturers onto microfiche. This
ability, which is not available in older generation COM recorders, allows
applications such as signatures, logos and photographs to be output to
microfiche.

In October 1991, Anacomp signed an agreement with Eastman Kodak to serve as
the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for Kodak's new COM recorder. The
six-year agreement calls for Anacomp to supply (subject to certain contractual
cancellation rights) between 600 and 1,500 specially modified XFP 2000s to
Kodak. Through September 1994, Kodak has purchased 149 XFPs under the
agreement, 25 of which were purchased in fiscal 1994.

In October 1992, Anacomp and Xerox Corp. announced a joint effort to develop
software that will enable the XFP 2000 to process and image Xerox high speed
printing data streams. This effort will result in the XFP 2000 being able to
output virtually all Xerox print data streams, including those containing
fonts, forms, logos, signatures and other images on microfiche. This software
is exected to be available during the first calendar quarter of 1995.

In November 1993, Anacomp and Pennant Systems, a division of IBM, announced a
joint effort to develop software which will allow Anacomp's XFP 2000 to
process and image IBM Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) formatted data.
This program will result in the XFP 2000 being able to interpret AFP data
streams, including, as with the Xerox program, those containing fonts, logos,
signatures and other images on microfiche. This software is expected to be
available during mid - 1995.
8
The Company's primary competitors in the sale of COM systems are Kodak, Agfa-
Gevaert and Micrographic Technology Corporation (MTC). Competition is based
on such factors as price, product quality, product features and service.
Anacomp has the largest installed base of COM systems of any company
(approximately 58% of the machines in use) and accounts for approximately 70%
of all new COM system sales (inclusive of OEM unit sales). Because changing
from one manufacturer's COM system to another is difficult due to software
conversion and operator training costs, Anacomp's large installed base is an
important advantage. With an installed base that is more than twice as large
as its nearest competitor and a technologically advanced family of new
products, management believes that the Company has a strong competitive
position in the replacement and add-on market.

Optical Disk Systems

In November 1993, the Company announced an OEM agreement with IBM to produce
an extended data storage product that bridges the gap between on-line storage
and COM storage. The product, called XSTAR, features an OEM version of IBM's
3995 Optical Library Dataserver and will allow mainframe computer users to
store and retrieve data through desktop terminals or PCs while also supporting
storage via COM systems. XSTAR operates in IBM's MVS environment and
provides up to 377 gigabytes of machine-readable storage, equivalent to more
than 100 million pages. The system will support storage of data on mainframe
magnetic disk, industry standard 5.25-inch single or double density optical
disks as well as 3480/3490 cartridge tape and COM. Anacomp received its first
order in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 and has placed additional units
with selected customers for evaluation and possible sale.

In April 1994, Anacomp announced a joint product development program with
FileNet to develop a product known as VELLOS. As a document image storage and
retrieval system, VELLOS is based on either CD-R optical disks, or
writable/erasable magneto-optical disks. It operates as a client/server
system in the Unix environment with retrieval options in Windows. The system
is designed for small departmental multi-user applications. VELLOS is being
marketed exclusively by Anacomp through its Image Conversion Services
division, and Anacomp recorded its first sale in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1994.

Maintenance Services

Anacomp provides maintenance to 2,770 COM systems representing approximately
98% of its installed base (2,076 in the U.S. and 694 outside the U.S.)
through over 900 service employees operating worldwide. Anacomp provides 24-
hour service through a network of maintenance service centers and resident
service representatives. The maintenance organization offers installation,
ongoing maintenance and field technical support for existing and new
products. As additional COM systems are sold, the Company is able to
provide maintenance without adding maintenance centers or a significant
number of personnel, thereby resulting in increased maintenance margins. In
addition, the infrastructure is in place to compete for service contracts on
other COM products or selected data processing products. Historically, each
dollar of COM system sales has resulted in approximately 14 cents of annual
maintenance revenue.

Historically, competition in maintenance has been limited as most customers
tend to use the maintenance services of the vendor that installed their
system. However, some customers choose to use in-house maintenance staffs.
Thus, revenues are primarily a function of new COM system sales and the size
of the installed base. Anacomp has the largest installed base in the
industry.

9
In March 1992, Anacomp acquired the COM maintenance service operations of
TRW, Inc. TRW was the last major third party provider of such services.
These operations expanded the Company's maintenance service base and created
new opportunities for COM system sales, COM data service back-up and
supplies sales. The TRW operations were integrated into Anacomp's existing
maintenance organization. As part of the September 1993 agreement between
Anacomp and First Image, Anacomp became First Image's exclusive COM system
maintenance provider in the United States.

Micrographics Supplies

Anacomp sells the most comprehensive line of micrographics supplies in the
world, offering duplicate microfilms, chemicals for microfilm processing,
original silver halide films, paper and toners for reader/printers,
micrographics lamps and bulbs, and other consumables. Anacomp's large
installed base of COM systems provides the Company with a ready market for
its consumable supplies although Anacomp also sells supplies outside of its
COM systems base. Historically, every dollar of COM system revenue has
generated approximately 36 cents of annual supply revenues. A majority of
the supplies sold consist of duplicate microfilm and private label
consumables incorporating proprietary chemistry and film developed
specifically for Anacomp's COM systems and for which, in most cases, Anacomp
is the sole supplier. Anacomp's duplicate microfilm market share is
estimated to be 73% and its primary competitor is Rexham. Beginning in
October 1994, Anacomp became the exclusive provider of duplicate microfilm
to First Image.

In March 1992, Anacomp formed a strategic alliance with SKC Limited and SKC
America, Inc. (collectively, SKC), member companies of the Sunkyong Group, a
worldwide $22 billion Korean general trading company and manufacturer of
petroleum-based products. In the first quarter of fiscal 1994, SKC
purchased Anacomp's Sunnyvale, California, duplicate microfilm manufacturing
facility. SKC now supplies Anacomp with substantial amounts of magnetic-
base polyester and coated duplicate microfilm. SKC also provides Anacomp
with a $25 million trade credit arrangement (See Note 4 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements).

Readers and Reader/Printers

Anacomp also designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of metal and
plastic microfiche/microfilm readers and reader/printers. Readers are
relatively simple, low-cost units (which sell for approximately $100 to $400
per unit) used to view microfilm. Reader/printers, which allow users to
print a paper copy of the microfilm or microfiche being viewed, sell for
approximately $1,250 to $6,300 per unit.

Anacomp is a supplier to Kodak, First Image and Bell & Howell for readers
and reader/printers. Anacomp's market share of the worldwide reader market
is estimated to be 63% with the remainder of the market held by EyeCom and
several small manufacturers, none of whom have more than 10% of the total
unit shipments. Anacomp's share of the reader/printer market is
approximately 20%. In the reader/printer market, Anacomp competes with
Canon, Minolta and Infographics.
10
In April 1993, the Company announced the introduction of the MicroImage
Digital Scanner 300, a low-cost full-function workstation for digitizing and
electronically processing micrographic images on demand. The device scans
and digitizes micrographic images, allowing them to be viewed, edited or
enhanced on a personal computer screen. The digitized image then can be
sent electronically to a laser printer or fax machine, or distributed over
an electronic network to another image-capable device. Anacomp has
approximately 5% of the digital scanner market and competes with Kodak, 3M,
Canon and Minolta.


Computer Tape Products

The Company manufactures open reel tape as well as 3480 and 3490 computer
tape cartridges used in large mainframe computers such as IBM, Amdahl,
Unisys and NEC. It also manufactures a 1/2" tape cartridge for use with DEC
computers. The market for open reel tape is comprised of data processing
installations with large data storage needs. Demand for this product has
been declining and is expected to continue this trend at a rate of 30% per
year as 3480 and 3490 computer tape cartridges gain market share.
The computer tape cartridge market continues to develop as IBM and DEC
aggressively establish new standards. This process has resulted in the 3480
product being gradually replaced by 3490 computer tape cartridges. Demand
for 3480 computer tape cartridges is expected to decline by approximately 8%
per year while demand for 3490 computer tape cartridges is expected to grow by
35% per year. Anacomp has approximately 35% of the 3480 computer tape
cartridge market and competes with 3M (with approximately 35% market share),
BASF (with approximately 18% market share) and Memorex (approximately 10%
market share). In the 3490 computer tape cartridge market, Anacomp has
approximately 30% market share. Anacomp's competitors and their approximate
respective market shares for 3490 computer tape cartridges are 3M (50%),
BASF (15%) and Memorex (3%).

New installations as well as library conversions are the driving forces
behind the growth in the 3490 computer tape cartridge market. Price
competition in the computer tape cartridge market has resulted because of
the large amount of manufacturing capacity installed by all producers.
However, Anacomp's products consistently receive the highest possible
quality ratings from independent rating agencies.

In May 1994, Anacomp acquired Graham Acquisition Corporation which
manufactures open reel tape as well as 3480 and 3490 computer tape
cartridges at its Graham, Texas facility (See Note 3 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements). As a result of the acquisition, Anacomp now
manufacturers over 95% of the world's supply of open reel tape. In October
1994, Anacomp announced that the 3480 and 3490 computer tape cartridge
operations in the Omaha, Nebraska facility would be relocated to Graham,
Texas to lower manufacturing costs of this product.
11
International

Approximately 29% of the Company's revenues are attributable to its
international operations. Anacomp has wholly-owned operating subsidiaries
in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy,
Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Canada, Brazil and Japan. The Company's
international product and service offerings are virtually identical to those
in the U.S. market, except that data service centers are not operated in
foreign markets. The most significant markets are the United Kingdom (27%
of fiscal 1994 international sales), Germany (18%), France (12%), Canada
(6%) and the Benelux countries (5%). In countries where Anacomp does not
have subsidiaries, it sells COM systems and supplies through dealers and
agents. International sales in 1994 by product line include micrographics
supplies (36%), COM systems (12%), maintenance (19%) and computer tape and
other magnetics products (33%).

Customers in Western Europe and Canada are primarily in financial services,
retailing, health care, COM data service centers, manufacturing and
government agencies. Data service centers are the major customers for COM
applications in emerging international markets.

In Europe, Anacomp has an estimated 70% market share in COM system sales, an
approximate 50% share of the installed base of COM systems, an approximate
38% market share in maintenance and an approximate 33% market share in
supplies.

In the Americas (excluding the United States) and Asia, Anacomp's
approximate market shares are 63% in COM systems, 15% in maintenance and 39%
in supplies. Anacomp has an approximate 51% share of the installed base of
COM systems in these markets.

Anacomp's international supplies market share is significantly below the
U.S. level because these sales have historically been through dealers and
agents. Anacomp's international subsidiaries are gradually taking over
supplies sales from dealers and agents, enabling Anacomp to compete more
effectively with other manufacturers, especially European manufacturers.
Anacomp may establish subsidiaries in countries where it currently operates
through distributors. Competition varies by country with no company in the
world competing with Anacomp across all markets. For COM systems and
maintenance, the Company primarily competes with MTC and Agfa-Gevaert in
Germany and the United Kingdom; Agfa-Gevaert, MTC and Kodak in France; Kodak
and Agfa-Gevaert in Italy and Northern Europe; and Kodak, NCR and Fuji in Japan.
For supplies, the Company primarily competes with Kalle, Messerli
and Rexham in Germany, the United Kingdom and France; Rexham and Kalle in
Italy; Rexham and Messerli in Northern Europe; and Kodak and Fuji in Japan.
12
D. Marketing and Customers

The Company has traditionally maintained separate sales forces for its data
service centers, COM systems and maintenance services, micrographics
supplies, computer tape products and international activities. In October
1994, Anacomp reorganized its domestic sales force. The data service
centers, COM systems, and direct channel supplies sales organizations were
merged and organized into two direct sales divisions covering the western
and eastern sections of the United States. Each division contains 14 Area
Business Units (ABU's) responsible for marketing COM services and COM
systems and related supplies, and electronic image management systems in
specific geographic areas of their division. The Maintenance Services
division and the sales forces selling through indirect channels were left
unchanged as independent operations. Additionally, the Company created Image
Conversion Services as a separate division that offers microfilm, CD-R, CD-
ROM and magnetic tape storage and retrieval solutions to customers. Sales
force compensation is based on: (i) maintaining recurring sales volumes
with existing customers, (ii) adding annual increments to these volumes and
(iii) gross margin earned on sales.

Area Business Units

Anacomp's Area Business Units employ over 170 sales people, including
managers, who are trained to sell the merits of COM to their customers'
senior management and to identify individual data processing applications
for which COM is the most appropriate output alternative. The salespeople
work with the customer to determine the best alternative between out-
sourcing to an Anacomp data service center and purchasing their own COM
systems for in-house operation. The Anacomp salespeople also market COM
system maintenance services, consumable supplies, readers and
reader/printers, source document micrographics products, and computer tape
products. Anacomp salespeople are also trained to identify customer
applications that are better suited for an optical disk storage solution and
to assist such customers to design an information and image management
system that provides the optimal mix of COM and optical storage solutions.

Principal customers for the Company's COM systems include banks, insurance
companies, financial service companies, retailers, healthcare providers, COM
data service centers, manufacturers and government agencies. Anacomp has
almost 900 active COM system customer sites. Principal customers for COM
services are similar to COM system customers with the exception of COM data
service centers. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of the
Company's revenues.

Maintenance

Anacomp's Maintenance Services division is made up of 500 service engineers
and managers, who provide geographic coverage through 10 districts in the
United States.

Indirect Supplies

Anacomp's indirect supplies operation consists primarily of the sale of
Anacomp manufactured products to dealers and distributors throughout the
United States and includes the sale of consumable supplies, readers and
reader/printers. The indirect operation maintains a sales force of
approximately 20 salespeople who provide geographic coverage throughout the
United States.

13
Magnetic Media Anacomp's magnetics operation consists primarily of the sale
of Anacomp manufactured products to dealers and distributors throughout the
United States and includes the sale of computer tape and flexible diskette
products. The magnetics operation maintains a sales force of approximately
20 salespeople who provide geographic coverage throughout the United States.

International

International sales include micrographics products and services as well as
certain data processing related products. The Company employs 70 direct
salespeople in wholly-owned subsidiaries and has approximately 100
distributors in other countries. Approximately one-third of Anacomp's
installed base of COM systems is outside of the United States.

E. Engineering, Research and Development

The Company supports several engineering processes, including basic
technological research, COM system and related software product development,
and sustaining engineering support for existing customer installations. The
engineering department is located in Poway, California and employs
approximately 130 engineers and technicians. The operating costs associated
with all engineering programs (including research and development) amounted
to approximately $7.2 million in 1994, $7.9 million in 1993 and $8.3 million
in 1992. The majority of these costs relate to the continued software
development for the XFP 2000 COM recorder.

Management expects that its near-term engineering efforts will be
concentrated on adding additional software capabilities to its COM
recorders. Anacomp has intensified its development efforts aimed at
providing optical disk based storage technology solutions and expects to
continue to expand its efforts in this area over the next several years.
The Company's primary focus will be to provide a technology bridge between
COM and the newer optical disk technologies.

Anacomp owns several patents and licenses covering certain aspects of its
products and production processes. However, the Company believes that the
patent protection is of lesser significance than the knowledge and
experience of its management and personnel, and their abilities to develop
and market the Company's products.

F. Employees and Labor Relations

As of October 1994, Anacomp employed approximately 4,400 people who were
engaged in management, sales and services, manufacturing, computer and
micrographics operations. In October 1993, Anacomp employed approximately
4,200 people.
14

operates in a single business segment - providing equipment, supplies and
services for information management, including storage, processing and
retrieval. Financial information concerning the Company's operations in
different geographical areas is included in Note 15 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Item 2. Properties

Meridian Street, Carmel, Indiana (a suburb of Indianapolis). Anacomp's

Other Facilities consist primarily of leased space from discontinued operations
and property held for sale. Approximately 776,000 square feet of the Other
Facilities have been sublet to others and an additional 21,000 square feet is
vacant as of November 1994. Anacomp also leases standard office space for its
sales and service centers in a variety of locations. Anacomp considers its
facilities adequate for its present needs and does not believe that it would
experience any difficulty in replacing any of its present facilities if any
of its present agreements were terminated.
15
Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Anacomp has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and state governmental agencies (State) as a potentially responsible party
pursuant to federal and/or state law for the costs associated with the
remediation undertaken or to be undertaken at various disposal sites located
in the United States. At most of these sites, Anacomp is one of many parties
identified by the EPA and/or the State; at others, it is one of a small
number of parties so identified. The liability for such remediation under
federal law and, in some instances, state law is strict, joint and several
where the alleged harm is indivisible. The actual liability, if any, of
Anacomp at these sites cannot be precisely determined at this time, but the
Company believes that any ultimate liability will not have a material adverse
effect upon its financial position or results of operations because adequate
liability estimates have been recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Anacomp also is involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to its
business and believes that the outcome of any of those matters will not have
a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results
of operations.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted during the three months ended September 30, 1994, to a

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

Anacomp's fiscal 1994 revenues totalled $592.6 million compared to $590.2
million in fiscal 1993. As discussed below, Anacomp acquired Graham Acquisition
Corporation (Graham), a manufacturer of computer tape cartridges and open reel
tape, in early May 1994. The Graham acquisition contributed $22.4 million to
1994 revenues. Anacomp also acquired the COM services customer base of 14 data
service centers from National Business Systems (NBS) in early January 1994
which contributed $9.1 million to 1994 revenues. Excluding the contributions
from these two acquisitions, fiscal 1994 revenues decreased $29.1 million from
fiscal 1993 principally due to decreased sales of COM systems, duplicate film,
and retrieval devices.

Revenues in 1993 were down $38.7 million compared to the prior year. The
continued maturing of certain of Anacomp's computer tape products caused
approximately one-half of the decline, with another quarter attributable to
unfavorable currency fluctuations compared to the prior year. The balance is
generally attributable to the continued weakness in the European economies.

Revenues in 1992 were down $6.5 million from fiscal 1991's $635.4 million.
Micrographics services, maintenance services, COM systems and computer tape
products all enjoyed revenue increases ranging from 2-13% in 1992.
Micrographics supplies revenues, however, decreased 8%, primarily reflecting a
decline in film and chemistry sales, most of which occurred in the indirect
channels.

Selling, general and administrative costs in 1994 decreased $4.3 million , due
in part to the receipt of insurance proceeds related to EPA liabilities.
Selling, general and administrative costs in 1993 decreased $3.5 million
primarily as a result of favorable settlements of certain facility lease
obligations.

Operating margins (continuing operations income before interest, other income,
income taxes and extraordinary credits) as a percent of revenue were 13.4% in
1994 compared to 15% in 1993. Accordingly, operating income decreased $9.0
million in 1994. The decrease is largely attributable to a change in product
mix as the relatively less profitable computer tape products represent a
greater portion of total sales. Operating income decreased $11.7 million from
1992 to 1993, generally in proportion to the decline in revenues. Operating
margins were 15.9% in 1992.

Operating income decreased $5.2 million in 1992, in part due to the $6.4
million reduction in revenue. In addition, Anacomp completed two major factory
consolidations during the third and fourth quarters in which its manufacturing
operations in Hartford, Wisconsin, and its ten separate manufacturing
facilities around San Diego county were relocated to a single site in Poway,
California (outside San Diego). One-time costs associated with these moves
totalled more than $3.2 million and are reflected in 1992's operating income.

======== ==== ======== ==== ======== ====

Micrographics Supplies, Readers and Reader/Printers

Micrographics supplies revenues decreased 8% in 1994, principally due to
reduced demand for duplicate film and readers and reader/printers. Duplicate
film sales are expected to improve in 1995 with the addition of a U.S. data
service center customer.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993, Anacomp introduced the Digital
Scanner 300 (DS 300), a low-cost workstation for scanning and digitizing
microfiche and microfilm images, which can then be viewed, edited, or enhanced
on a personal computer screen. The DS 300 contributed $1 million of revenue
in fiscal 1994, which was less than expected. However, each quarter's sales
increased during the year and further increases are expected in fiscal 1995, as
a result of product improvements and better identification of the user markets.

Micrographics supplies revenues decreased from $237.3 million in 1992 to $223.1
million in 1993, a 6% decline. However, approximately 2% is attributable to
currency fluctuations, and another 2% is attributable to the loss in mid - 1992
of the recently regained customer mentioned above. Micrographics supplies
revenues declined 8.5% in 1992. Anacomp believes the decrease in 1992
resulted principally from the generally weak worldwide economic conditions.

During 1992, Anacomp entered into a long-term supply agreement with SKC Limited
and SKC America, Inc. (collectively, SKC), members of the Sunkyong Group of
Korea (See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). SKC was Anacomp's
primary source for polyester, the basic raw material for duplicate microfilm
and computer tape products. In the first quarter of fiscal 1994, SKC purchased
Anacomp's Sunnyvale, California, duplicate microfilm manufacturing facility and
became Anacomp's sole supplier of duplicate microfilm. In connection
therewith, SKC invested several million dollars to consolidate and enhance the
Sunnyvale facilities to improve both productivity and quality, the benefits of
which are now enjoyed by Anacomp and its customers.
28
Micrographics supplies operating profits were down in fiscal 1994 in proportion
to the decline in revenue. In 1993, micrographics supplies operating margins
were down 2-3%, due in part to currency fluctuations affecting both revenues
and costs, as well as pricing competition in certain product lines.
Micrographics supplies operating profits were down in fiscal 1992 in proportion
to the decline in revenues, excluding approximately $2 million of costs
associated with the factory relocation.

Micrographics Services

Micrographics services revenues, predominantly COM services through Anacomp's
47 U.S. data service centers, increased 5% in 1994, decreased 2% in 1993 and
increased 6% in 1992, on volume increases of 10%, 13% and 14% in 1994, 1993,and
1992, respectively. As previously mentioned, the increase in fiscal 1994 is due
to the acquisition of the COM services customer base of 14 data service centers
from NBS. The revenue decline in 1993 is due to the absence of certain
government contracts which expired in 1992 and were not replaced, as well as
reduced prices. The volume growth is both from new customers and increased
services to existing customers. Operating margins as a percent of revenue in
1994 were down approximately 2% as reductions in average selling prices
exceeded reductions in production costs. In 1993 and 1992, reductions in
operating costs kept margins steady in spite of price competition.

Maintenance Services

Maintenance revenues are derived principally from COM recorders and
duplicators. Such revenues increased $3.1 million in 1994, decreased $4.8



million in 1993, and increased $1.7 million in 1992. The improvement in 1994 is
largely the result of the addition of a U.S. data service center company to
Anacomp's customer base. Approximately one-half of the decline in 1993 is
caused by currency fluctuations. The remainder is in part the result of the
improved capacity and efficiency of the XFP 2000, which allows customers to
produce more volume on fewer machines. Operating margins were modestly reduced
in 1994 after remaining level in 1993 and 1992.

COM Systems

COM systems revenues were off 22% because of a decline in sales of XFP 2000 COM
systems from 293 systems in 1993 to 187 systems in 1994. These results were
partially due to reduced OEM shipments (25 systems in 1994 versus 67 in 1993).
Introduction of the Xerox Compatibility Feature (XCF), which was released to
beta sites in October 1994 and will be available in the first calendar quarter
of 1995, should positively influence 1995 sales of XFP 2000 COM systems. XCF
is the result of a two-year development effort between Anacomp and Xerox. The
feature adds to Anacomp's XFP 2000 imaging platform the capability to process
and image to microfilm Xerox high speed printing data streams.

In November 1993, Anacomp announced a joint effort with Pennant, the IBM
Printing Systems Company, to integrate IBM's Advanced Function Presentation
(AFP) capabilities with COM recorders. The availability is scheduled for
spring 1995 and is expected to further bolster XFP 2000 sales.

COM systems revenues were up slightly in 1993 after consideration of currency
effects. COM systems revenues grew over 7% in 1992, bolstered by sales of 212
XFP 2000 COM systems, an 84% increase over 1991's 115.
29
Operating margins as a percent of revenue improved in 1994, in spite of reduced
revenues, as a result of higher average selling prices. Operating margins in
1993 improved significantly both as a result of higher XFP volumes and from the
benefits of the facility consolidations that took place in 1992.

Operating margins in 1992 were essentially unchanged from the prior years,
excluding costs associated with the San Diego facility consolidation. During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1992, Anacomp consolidated its San Diego-based
manufacturing, engineering, maintenance and product marketing operations into a
newly constructed facility in Poway, California, just outside San Diego. The
move consolidated 10 different sites around San Diego county and involved
approximately 1,000 employees. In connection with the move, Anacomp expensed
approximately $1.2 million in the fourth quarter.

In early November 1993, Anacomp announced the signing of an OEM agreement with
the IBM Storage Systems Division to produce an extended data storage product
that bridges the gap between on-line data and long-term COM storage. Anacomp's
XSTAR features an OEM version of IBM Storage Systems Division's 3995 Optical
Library Dataserver and will allow mainframe computer users to store and
retrieve data through desktop terminals or PCs while also supporting permanent
storage via COM systems. Anacomp received its first order in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1994 and has placed additional units with selected customers
for evaluation and possible sale.

Computer Tape Products

Anacomp's acquisition of Graham in May 1994 was the primary reason for a 53%
increase in computer tape revenues over 1993. Graham manufactures computer
tape cartridges and open reel tape at its facility in Graham, Texas. Anacomp
will shift all of its U. S. production of those products from its Omaha,
Nebraska plant to the Graham facility during the first half of fiscal 1995.
The costs associated with this relocation will not be significant. The
consolidation is expected to produce operating synergies.

Computer tape revenues decreased $17.7 million in 1993. Almost half of the
decrease is due to the completion of a one-time OEM arrangement which
contributed $9.7 million in revenues in 1992 and only $1.1 million in 1993. In



addition, Anacomp and its competitors experienced decreased demand for 3480 and
TK 50-52 cartridges, as well as open reel tape, as these products continue to
mature. Anacomp introduced in mid-1993 the high compression 3490E cartridge
which contributed over $8 million of revenues in 1994.

Computer tape revenues increased $7.7 million, or 13%, in 1992, primarily the
result of the one-time OEM arrangement discussed above, which contributed an
incremental $4.5 million. In addition, sales of 3480 cartridges increased 14%.
The added revenues in 1994 increased operating profits and improved
manufacturing efficiencies. The reduced revenues in 1993 resulted in a
significant reduction in that year's operating profits. In 1992, operating
profits also declined in spite of increased revenues, due principally to
increased pricing pressures in the marketplace.

Other Revenues

Other revenues increased in 1994 and 1993 due to improved sales of flexible
diskette products and media. The decline in 1992 was due to the maturing of
certain of Anacomp's computer storage products.
30
Interest

The reduction in interest expense in 1994 resulted from lower debt levels which
was partly offset by the increase in short-term interest rates. Interest
expense in 1993 and 1992 continued to decline as a result of debt repayments as
well as reduced interest rates.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) is principally foreign exchange gains and losses
incurred by the foreign subsidiaries.

Income Taxes

Income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations were 54% in
1994, 43% in 1993, and 44% in 1992. In 1994 and 1993, income tax expense was
reduced $1.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively, as a result of favorable
settlement and disposition of previously established tax reserves. In 1992,
the effective tax rate was reduced by the receipt of $1.2 million in state tax
refunds, and by the inclusion in income of certain foreign exchange gains which
were not subject to tax.

As described in Note 10 to the accompanying financial statements, the effective
tax rate is higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to amortization of goodwill
not deductible for tax purposes, and generally higher foreign tax rates.

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, in the first quarter of fiscal year 1994. The adoption resulted
in a one-time increase to income of $8 million reflecting the cumulative effect
on prior years of this accounting change. See Note 10 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for a further discussion of the effect on the Company's
Financial Statements.

Discontinued Operations

The loss from discontinued operations represents the accretion of interest (net
of taxes) on the present value of obligations recorded in prior years for
unfavorable lease commitments and future lease costs discussed in Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In 1994, Anacomp continued to invest in data service center retooling, to make
important acquisitions such as Graham and NBS, and to make significant
investments in software including XCF and AFP. At the same time, short and
long-term debt was reduced over $27 million. These requirements were met



primarily from operating cash flow. In addition, common stock was issued in
each of the major acquisitions, inventory turnover rates were improved and
certain data service center equipment was sold under sale/leaseback
arrangements which generated approximately $12 million during the year.
31
As disclosed in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net
cash provided by operating activities was $52.7 million for fiscal 1994
compared to $45.9 million for the prior year. Net cash used in investing
activities increased $21.1 million primarily due to the Graham and NBS business
acquisitions in the current year and the decline in proceeds from sale of
assets. Net cash used in financing activities decreased $13.0 million due
primarily to reduced debt fees and long-term debt payments.

The Company has experienced positive cash flow from operations for the last
several years and anticipates positive cash flow will continue in the future.
In addition, the debt agreements provide $70 million in revolving credit
facilities, over $17 million of which was available at September 30, 1994.
Anacomp believes the positive cash flow from operations, amounts available from
sale/leaseback of data service center equipment, and the availability of
amounts under the revolving credit agreement will adequately fund operations,
debt reductions and planned capital expenditures in fiscal 1995. In October
1994, Anacomp sold $19.3 million of data service center equipment of which
$14.3 million of the proceeds were used to prepay debt. Anacomp believes that
it could generate additional liquidity, if needed, through equity offerings,
debt offerings or conversion of existing assets to cash. The revolving credit
facilities expire in October, 1995. In connection with their extension or
replacement, Anacomp intends to explore refinancing some or all of the
remaining senior credit facilities.

Management does not believe that the effects of inflation will have a material
impact on the Company. Neither is management aware of changes in prices of
materials or other operating costs, or in the selling prices of Anacomp's
products and services that will materially affect the Company.

Accounting Pronouncements

In October 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 119, which addresses the disclosure of
derivative financial instruments and fair value of financial instruments.
Adoption of this standard is required in fiscal 1995. The Company, based upon
existing practices, does not expect adoption of FAS 119 to have a material
adverse effect on its financial statements in the year of the adoption.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Anacomp, Inc. and Subsidiaries


NOTE 1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:


Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Anacomp, Inc.
(Anacomp or the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Material
intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the prior
year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
current presentation.

Foreign Currency Translation
Substantially all assets and liabilities of Anacomp's international operations
are translated at the year-end exchange rates; income and expenses are
translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year.
Translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate section of stockholders'
equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net
income.

Segment Reporting
Anacomp operates in a single business segment - providing equipment, supplies
and services for information management, including storage, processing and
retrieval.

Revenue Recognition
Sales of products and services are recorded based on shipment of products or
performance of services. Revenue from maintenance contracts is deferred and
recognized in earnings on a pro rata basis over the period of the agreement.
Revenues from the lease of equipment under sales-type leases are also
recognized as shipments are made. Accordingly, the present value of all
payments due under the lease contracts is recorded as revenue, cost of sales is
charged with the book value of the equipment plus installation costs, and
future interest income is deferred and recognized over the lease term.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined by
methods approximating the first-in, first-out basis.

The cost of the inventories is distributed as follows:



(In thousands) September 30, 1994 1993

Finished goods ..................... $ 41,661 $ 38,289
Work in process .................... 5,903 7,105
Raw materials and supplies ......... 15,811 23,798
$ 63,375 $ 69,192
======== ========

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization of
property and equipment are generally provided under the straight-line method

for financial reporting purposes over the shorter of the estimated useful lives
or the lease terms. Tooling costs are amortized over the total estimated units
of production, not to exceed three years.
39
Research and Development
The costs associated with research and development programs are expensed as
incurred, and amounted to $2,973,000 in 1994, $2,525,000 in 1993, and
$1,849,000 in 1992.

Included in "Other assets" on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets are
unamortized deferred software costs of $19,745,000 and $14,134,000 as of
September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Deferred software costs are the
capitalized costs of software products to be sold with COM systems in future
periods. The unamortized costs are evaluated for impairment each year by
determining net realizable value. Such costs are amortized under the straight-
line method or over the estimated units of sale, not to exceed five years. See
Note 12 for the amortization expense recorded during the past three years.

Intangibles
Excess of purchase price over net assets of businesses acquired is amortized
primarily on the straight-line method over 40 years. Other intangibles
represent the purchase of the rights to provide microfilm or maintenance
services to certain customers and are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over 10 years. The unamortized costs are evaluated for impairment each year by
determining net realizable value. Balances are as follows:


(In thousands) September 30, 1994 1993

Excess of purchase price over net
assets of businesses acquired ..... $ 320,200 $ 342,663
Other intangibles .................. 37,277 21,580
357,477 364,243
Less accumulated amortization ...... (77,870) (67,817)
$ 279,607 $ 296,426
========== ==========


At September 30, 1994, the aggregate amortization of intangibles by year
through fiscal year 1999 are: 1995, $12,954,000; 1996, $12,627,000; 1997,
$12,137,000; 1998, $11,586,000; and 1999, $10,998,000.

Accrued Lease Reserves

Other noncurrent liabilities include acquisition reserves established for
unfavorable facility lease commitments, vacant facilities and related future
lease costs. Total obligations recorded for these unfavorable lease
commitments and future lease and related costs at their estimated present value
were $12,460,000 and $19,402,000 at September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The current portion of these obligations was $3,427,000 and $6,081,000 as of
September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively and is included in "Other accrued
liabilities". The accretion recorded related to these obligations, net of tax
effects, is included in "Loss from discontinued operations" in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

Sale/Leaseback Transactions

Anacomp entered into sale/leaseback transactions of $11,870,000 in 1994 and
$9,858,000 in 1993 relating to COM systems installed in the data service
centers. Part of the proceeds were treated as fixed asset sales and the
remainder as sales of equipment. Revenues of $5,620,000 and $4,739,000 were
recorded respectively. All profits were deferred and are being recognized over
the applicable leaseback periods. In October 1994, Anacomp entered into
additional sale/leaseback transactions of $19,320,000 relating to COM systems
installed in the data service centers.
40
Income Taxes

In general, Anacomp's practice is to reinvest the earnings of its foreign
subsidiaries in those operations and to repatriate these earnings only when it
is advantageous to do so. It is expected that the amount of U.S. federal tax
resulting from a repatriation will not be significant. Accordingly, deferred
tax is not being recorded related to undistributed foreign earnings.

In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS
109). FAS 109 mandates the liability method for computing deferred income
taxes and requires that the benefit of certain loss carryforwards be estimated
and recorded as an asset unless it is "more likely than not" that the benefit
will not be realized. Another principal difference is that changes in tax
rates and laws will be reflected in income from continuing operations in the
period such changes are enacted.

Anacomp adopted FAS 109 in the first quarter of fiscal 1994. Under FAS 109,
the Company has recorded a significant deferred tax asset to reflect the
benefit of loss carryforwards that could not be recognized under prior
accounting rules. The recording of this asset reduced goodwill and increased
income as discussed in more detail in Note 10.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Anacomp considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These temporary
investments, primarily repurchase agreements and other overnight investments,
are recorded at cost, which approximates market, and totalled $8,000,000,
$14,000,000, and $8,000,000 at September 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

NOTE 2.
FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures About Fair
Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information
for certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts for trade receivables
and payables are considered to be their fair values. The carrying amounts and
fair values of the Company's other financial instruments at September 30, 1994,
and 1993, are as follows:

The estimated fair values of Long-Term Debt and Redeemable Preferred Stock are
based on quoted market values or discounted future cash flows using current
interest rates.

NOTE 3.
ACQUISITIONS:

During the three years ended September 30, 1994, Anacomp made the acquisitions
set forth below, each of which has been accounted for as a purchase. The
consolidated financial statements include the operating results of each
business from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have
not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions were not
significant.

Fiscal 1994

During fiscal 1994, Anacomp acquired 16 data service centers or the
related customer base (all were incorporated with existing Anacomp
service centers), a computer tape products company and the customer
base of a micrographics supplies business. Total consideration for
these acquisitions was $39,141,000 of which approximately $24,173,000
has been assigned to excess of purchase price over net assets of
businesses acquired and other intangible assets. In connection with
these acquisitions, Anacomp issued $17,201,000 of its common stock and
increased debt and accrued liabilities by $4,290,000.

National Business Systems

One of the acquisitions included above was the purchase of the COM
services customer base of 14 data service centers operated by National
Business Systems (NBS). The acquisition was effective on January 3,
1994, and the acquisition cost consisted of the following (in
thousands):



Cash paid to NBS shareholders.............. $ 7,400
Common stock issued to NBS shareholders.... 7,400
Acquisition costs incurred................. 416
$15,216
=======

Anacomp issued 1,973,000 common shares to the NBS shareholders using
$3.75 per share. As part of the acquisition agreement, Anacomp agreed
to provide stock price protection at the end of two years on those
shares so designated by the NBS shareholders (1,128,000 of the shares
issued are subject to this protection).

On January 3, 1996, Anacomp will recalculate the share price based on
the average closing price of Anacomp stock for the 30 consecutive
trading days ending on December 29, 1995. The revised price will be
used to adjust the number of issued shares which are subject to the
price protection. However, the revised price to be used for the
revaluation will not be higher than 150% or lower than 50% of the
original $3.75 per share price.
42
If the per share price reached the 150% maximum, NBS shareholders
would return 376,000 shares to Anacomp. If the per share price reached
the 50% minimum, Anacomp would issue 1,128,000 additional shares to
the NBS shareholders. The adjustment in the number of shares issued in
connection with the NBS acquisition will not affect the recorded
purchase price. Contingently issuable shares under the above
arrangement are measured at each reporting period based on the market
price of the Company's stock at the close of the period being reported
on, and are considered in the computation of earnings per share.

Graham Magnetics

Another of the acquisitions included above was the purchase of Graham
Acquisition Corporation (Graham), a computer tape products company.
The acquisition was effective on May 4, 1994, and the acquisition cost
consisted of the following (in thousands):







Common stock issued to Graham shareholders. $ 8,515
Common stock issued for a note payable..... 1,286
Issuance of note payable to a creditor..... 4,240
Cash paid to retire bank debt.............. 5,540
Acquisition costs incurred................. 689
$20,270
=======

Anacomp issued 2,129,000 common shares to the Graham shareholders
based on an agreed upon per share price. However, to determine the
acquisition cost, the shares were valued at the market price on the
date of closing.

Contingent consideration of $7,600,000 is payable in Anacomp common
stock and will be based upon defined future earnings through September
1997. The contingent consideration will be computed based upon an
agreed upon formula using a minimum stock price of $2.00 per share and
will be issuable beginning in January 1995. The contingent
consideration is not included in the acquisition cost total above but
is recorded when the future earnings requirements have been met. The
contingent consideration amount for fiscal 1994 is estimated to be
approximately $144,000.

Anacomp also issued 360,000 common shares to a Graham creditor at
$3.57 per share to reduce the note payable to $4,240,000. The note is
unsecured and bears interest at 10%. Principal payments of $345,000
plus accrued interest are payable quarterly beginning July 15, 1994.
The note holder may at any time require Anacomp to prepay any amount
of the note by issuing common stock. The shares of common stock to be
issued will equal the prepayment amount divided by $3.57. The current
outstanding note balance subject to prepayment was $3,895,000 at
September 30, 1994.

Anacomp has reserved 3,800,000 shares of authorized common stock for
the contingent acquisition consideration and 1,091,000 shares of
authorized common stock for the contingent prepayment of the note.
43
Fiscal 1993

During fiscal 1993, Anacomp acquired four micrographics service
centers (all four were merged with existing Anacomp service centers)
and certain assets of a microfilm reader maintenance services business
for a total consideration of $4,434,000, of which approximately
$1,904,000 has been assigned to excess of purchase price over net
assets of businesses acquired and other intangible assets.

Fiscal 1992

During fiscal 1992, Anacomp acquired four micrographics service
centers and one microforms service center (all five were merged with
existing Anacomp service centers) and certain selected assets of a
computer output microfilm maintenance services business, for a total
consideration of $9,602,000, of which approximately $6,356,000 has
been assigned to excess of purchase price over net assets of
businesses acquired and other intangible assets.




NOTE 4.
SKC AGREEMENT:

In March 1992, Anacomp entered into a ten-year supply agreement (the
Supply Agreement) with SKC America, Inc., a New Jersey corporation
(SKCA), and SKC Limited (SKCL), an affiliated corporation of SKCA
organized pursuant to the laws of the Republic of Korea. SKCA and
SKCL are collectively referred to as SKC. Pursuant to the Supply
Agreement, Anacomp purchases substantially all of its requirements
for magnetic-base polyester and coated duplicate microfilm from SKC.

SKC is providing Anacomp with a $25 million trade credit arrangement
which expires December 31, 2001. The trade credit arrangement may be
terminated prior to the expiration in the event Anacomp restructures
or refinances substantially all of its subordinated debt or in the
event Anacomp breaches the Supply Agreement. The trade credit
arrangement bears interest at 2.5% over the prime rate of The First
National Bank of Boston (7.75% as of September 30, 1994).

In October 1993, the Supply Agreement was extended to December 2003
and amended to include finished microfilm products manufactured by SKC
exclusively for Anacomp. Concurrent with the modification of the
Supply Agreement, SKC purchased Anacomp's Sunnyvale, California,
duplicate microfilm manufacturing operation for $900,000, payable over
five years. At September 30, 1994, $720,000 is due from SKC. Costs
of $3,392,000 associated with this Supply Agreement have been deferred
and are being amortized over the life of the Supply Agreement.

On March 26, 1993, the Company completed amendments to its Senior Credit
Agreements and its 15% Senior Note Indenture. The provisions of these
amendments include the elimination of the requirement for the Company to make
Additional Amortization Payments as defined, allowance for the Company to use
up to 50% of its annual Excess Cash Flow to repurchase subordinated debt and
the creation of a Multicurrency Revolving Loan due in October 1995. The
amendments also reduced the existing Revolving Loan from $50 million to $43
million at March 26, 1993 with a further reduction to $40 million on
September 30, 1994 and provide for a final due date of October 1995.
Additionally, the amendments provided for the Company to retain specified
sale proceeds in connection with the sale/leaseback of certain fixed assets
and rescheduled the remaining amortization payments due on the Term Loan in
a manner favorable to the Company.

The Revolving Loan carries an interest rate of 275 basis points over the one- ,
two-, three - or six-month reserve adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR), selected at the Company's option.

The Multicurrency Revolving Loan is available to the Company and certain of its
foreign subsidiaries in U.S. Dollars, British Pounds, French Francs, German
Marks, Italian Lira and Swedish Krona in an equivalent amount of $30 million,
and carries an interest rate of 275 basis points over the one-, two-,
three - or six-month reserve adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) of
the borrowed currency, selected at the Company's option.
46
The Term Loans and Series A Senior Notes carry an interest rate of 275 basis
points over the three-month LIBOR and have scheduled installment payments of
$10.3 million in October 1994; $12.5 million in April 1995; $12.5 million in
October 1995; and $8.5 million in April 1996.

The Series B Senior Notes carry an interest rate of 12.25% and require semi-
annual installment payments commencing April 26, 1994, in amounts increasing
from 10% to 16.67% of the original principal amount.

In addition to scheduled payments, the Company is required to make annual
prepayments of the Revolving Loan, the Term Loans and Series A Senior and Series
B Senior Notes (the Senior Debt) in amounts between 50% and 75% of the Company's
Excess Cash Flow, as defined, depending on the amount of Excess Cash Flow used
to repurchase subordinated debt per the provisions of the March 1993 Senior
Debt Agreement amendments. Also, subject to certain exceptions, 100% of
proceeds from the sale of assets must be applied to repayment of the Senior
Debt.

The 15% Senior Subordinated Notes (the 15% Notes) were issued in 224,900 units
of $1,000 and 30.351 detachable warrants to purchase Anacomp Common Stock at
$1.873 per share. The 15% Notes are callable given 30 days notice beginning
November 1995, at 107.5% of the fully accreted value, and declining to 100% of
the fully accreted value by November 1998. Mandatory sinking fund payments of
$72,000,000 are due November 1998, and November 1999. After the Term Loans and
the Series A Senior Notes and Series B Senior Notes are fully repaid and cash
collateralization of any remaining Revolving Credit Facility Commitment occurs,
additional prepayments equal to 75% of Excess Cash Flow, as defined, are also
required.

The Master Agreement, which covers the Term Loans, the Revolving Credit
Commitments, and the Series A Senior Notes and Series B Senior Notes, gives the
Senior Creditors a security interest in all of the assets of Anacomp; contains
various limitations on advances and investments made by the Company; prohibits
or restricts, without prior approval of the Senior Creditors, mergers,
acquisitions, change of control, certain types of lease transactions, payment
of dividends on Anacomp Common Stock, and voluntary payment in cash of any
principal amount of Anacomp's subordinated debt; and contains certain other
restrictive covenants related to net worth, cash flow, fixed charges, debt
incurrence, capital expenditures and the current ratio. Subsequent to
September 30, 1994, Anacomp completed an amendment to the Master Agreement
lowering the Interest Coverage Ratio covenant for September 30, 1994, and all
of fiscal year 1995. Based on information currently available, the Company is
uncertain as to whether it will be able to satisfy certain of the restrictive
covenants in place as of September 30, 1995. The Company believes that in
connection with the replacement of the revolving credit facilities which expire
in October 1995, these restrictive covenants will be modified or eliminated such
that the Company expects to be in compliance with its covenants under the debt
agreements in place at that time. The Master Agreement also provides for the
availability of letters of credit in an amount up to $15,000,000. As of
September 30, 1994, letters of credit for approximately $9,000,000 have been
issued which reduce the amount of available revolver.

In conjunction with entering into the SKC Supply Agreement discussed in Note 4,
Anacomp sought and received from its senior lenders certain amendments to its
senior loan documents including certain financial covenant adjustments.
47
The 15% Notes are subordinated to the payment in full of the principal and
interest on all Senior indebtedness. The 15% Notes rank pari passu to the
remaining 12.25% Notes and 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes (if and when issued)
discussed in Note 8. Additionally, they are senior to the outstanding 9%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 1996 and the 13.875% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2002.

The 15% Note Indenture contains covenants relating to net worth, and limitations
on restricted payments, liens, transactions with affiliates, incurrence of
additional debt, asset sales, acquisitions, and change of control. The 15% Note
holders will be granted a security interest in all of Anacomp's assets upon the
repayment of all Senior Secured Indebtedness.

The 13.875% Convertible Subordinated Debentures require mandatory sinking fund
payments of $3,750,000 annually commencing January 15, 1999, unless sufficient
debentures have been converted or repurchased by Anacomp. The debentures are
convertible into 1,327,542 shares of Anacomp Common Stock at a conversion price
of $17.50 per common share, and allow optional redemption at a price of 100% at
any time. Anacomp International, N.V. a wholly-owned Netherlands Antilles
subsidiary, has issued the 9% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due January
15, 1996, guaranteed by Anacomp. The 9% debentures are convertible into
663,227 shares of Anacomp Common Stock at a conversion price of $15.80 per
common share. In the event of certain changes affecting United States or
Netherlands Antilles taxation, the interest rate will be increased for any
taxes required to be withheld or, at Anacomp's option, all debentures
outstanding may be redeemed at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued
interest.

The maturities of long-term debt in each of the next five years and thereafter
will be as follows:



Year ended September 30, (In thousands)
1995.......................................... $ 45,222

NOTE 8.
REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK:

Anacomp issued in a private placement in 1987, 500,000 shares of 8.25%
Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the Preferred
Shares). Each Preferred Share has a preference value of $50 and is convertible
into Anacomp common stock at a conversion price of $7.50. The redeemable
preferred stock was recorded at fair value on the date of issuance less issue
costs. The excess of the preference value over the carrying value is being
accreted by periodic charges to retained earnings over the life of the issue.

The Preferred Shares may be redeemed by Anacomp at prices declining from
105.78% to 100% of preference value, or earlier if the price of Anacomp common
stock remains at 160% of the conversion price for 20 of 30 consecutive trading
days. On March 15, 2000 and 2001, Anacomp must redeem at the preference value
125,000 shares each year unless a sufficient number of shares has already been
redeemed or converted. All remaining outstanding shares must be redeemed by
March 1, 2002.
48
At any dividend payment date after March 15, 1990, Anacomp may exchange the
Preferred Shares for an equal face amount of 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due
March 1, 2002 (the Exchange Debentures). Except for certain shareholder rights,
the Exchange Debentures will carry terms similar to the Preferred Shares. There
were no such exchanges as of September 30, 1994.

NOTE 9.
CAPITAL STOCK:


Shareholder Rights Plan

The Company has a Shareholder Rights Plan which was adopted by the Board of
Directors on February 4, 1990. The Rights Plan provides that each share of the
Company's common stock has associated with it a Common Stock Purchase Right.
Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one-
tenth of a share of Anacomp common stock, par value $.01 per share, at a cash
exercise price of $3.20 subject to adjustment.

The rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial
ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of Anacomp,
or announces a tender or exchange offer upon consummation of which, such person
or group would beneficially own 30% or more of the Company's common stock. If
any person acquires 15% of Anacomp's common stock, the rights would entitle
stockholders (other than the 15% acquiror) to purchase at $32 (as such price
may be adjusted) a number of shares of Anacomp's common stock which would have
a market value of $64 (as such amount may be adjusted). In the event that
Anacomp is acquired in a merger or other business combination, the rights would
entitle the stockholders (other than the acquiror) to purchase securities of
the surviving company at a similar discount.

Anacomp can redeem the rights at $.001 per right at any time until the tenth
day following the announcement that a 15% ownership position has been acquired.
Under certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Plan, the decision to
redeem shall require the concurrence of a majority of the Continuing Directors
(as such term is defined in the Rights Plan). The rights expire February 26,
2000.

Preferred Stock
Anacomp has authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 500,000
shares of redeemable preferred stock were issued and outstanding at September
30, 1994 and 1993 (see Note 8).

Stock Option Plans
Anacomp's stock option plans provide that the exercise price of the options be
determined by the Board of Directors (the "Board"), and in no case be less than
100% of fair market value at the time of grant for qualified options, or less
than the par value of the stock for non-qualified options. An option may be
exercised subject to such restrictions as the Board may impose at the time the
option is granted. In any event, each option shall terminate not later than 10
years after the date on which it is granted, except for certain non-qualified
options which shall terminate not later than 20 years after the date on which
granted.
49

Shares available for grant under the plans were 725,827 and 895,145 at
September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Options outstanding, of which
3,310,464 are exercisable as of September 30, 1994, are as follows:

========= =================

Warrants

In October 1990, Anacomp issued 6,825,940 warrants to holders of the 15% Senior
Subordinated Notes. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common
share at a price of $1.873 and is exercisable through the date of expiration,
November 11, 2000. Anacomp filed a shelf registration statement with respect
to the warrants which became effective on February 25, 1991.


Restricted Stock Bonus Plan
In December 1984, Anacomp adopted a Restricted Stock Bonus Plan (the "Plan")
allowing for the issuance of up to 2,800,000 shares of Anacomp common stock to
certain employees as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board.
The purposes of the Plan are to assist Anacomp in retaining key employees, to
provide additional motivation for those employees to continue their best
efforts on behalf of Anacomp and to conserve cash. At September 30, 1994,
1,246,819 shares were issued and outstanding under the Plan. All issued and
outstanding shares related to the plan were awarded from 1985 through 1988.
All vesting in the shares was completed by September 30, 1988. No shares have
been issued since 1988. Anacomp retained a right of first refusal to
repurchase these shares at market value on the date of sale less 80% of market
value on the date of grant.

At the time the shares were granted, they were recorded at 20% of the market
value at the date of grant. This cost was amortized as compensation expense
over the various vesting periods involved. When the stock is offered to the
Company for resale in the marketplace, the Company will record the difference
between the proceeds from the sale of the shares and the amount paid to the
employee as paid in capital.
50
Other Items
Under an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Anacomp may offer to sell common stock
to its employees. Purchases of these shares are made by employee participants
periodically at 85% of the market price on the date of offer or exercise,
whichever is lower.

At September 30, 1994, approximately 23,900,000 shares of Anacomp common stock
are reserved for exercise of stock options, conversion of convertible
subordinated debentures, purchases by stock purchase plan participants,
conversion of preferred stock, exercise of warrants, Graham acquisition
agreement requirements and other corporate purposes.

The Company adopted FAS 109 in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 and recorded a
deferred tax asset of $95 million representing the federal and state tax
savings from net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and tax credits. The
Company also recorded a valuation allowance of $60 million reducing the
deferred tax asset to a net $35 million. Recognition of the deferred tax
asset reduced goodwill by $27 million and provided a cumulative effect
increase to income of $8 million. During 1994, the net deferred tax asset was
reduced to $29 million, reflecting usage of the asset to reduce income taxes
payable by $6 million. Future utilization, if any, of NOLs and tax credits
for which a valuation allowance was provided, will further reduce goodwill up
to $37 million, increase accrued income taxes up to $13 million and increase
capital in excess of par value up to $7 million.









The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at September 30, 1994
and October 1, 1993 are as follows:

At September 30, 1994, the Company has NOLs of approximately $200 million
available to offset future taxable income. This amount will increase to $217
million as certain timing differences reverse in future periods. The Company
also has tax credit carryforwards of $3 million available to reduce future tax
liabilities, including $1 million of preacquisition tax credits. The NOLs
expire commencing in 1995 ($2 million) with remaining amounts in various
periods through 2007. The tax credit carryforwards expire substantially in
1997.

During 1994 and 1993, the Company settled various income tax matters,
including issues associated with the 1988 Xidex acquisition. Settlement of
these issues and other considerations resulted in a favorable adjustment to
federal and foreign tax reserves of $1.2 million and $3.7 million,
respectively. The adjustments are reflected as a credit to the income tax
expense from continuing operations.

In 1993 and 1992 the provisions for income taxes include amounts which are
offset by the utilization of federal and foreign NOLs. The tax benefits
from utilization of NOLs is reported as an extraordinary credit in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net tax provisions result from
foreign and state income taxes which cannot be reduced by NOLs from prior years.

In addition to the cumulative effect adjustment on the statement of
operations, the adoption of FAS 109 reduced goodwill amortization expense by
$773,000 during 1994. Accordingly, income from continuing operations and net
income increased by these same amounts. Earnings per common and common
equivalent share increased by $.02.

If FAS 109 had been adopted beginning October 1, 1991, the following pro forma
results would have been reported for the periods ended (in thousands except

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Anacomp has commitments under long-term operating leases, principally for
building space and data service center equipment. Lease terms generally cover
periods from five to twelve years. The following summarizes the future minimum
lease payments under all non-cancelable operating lease obligations, including
the unfavorable lease commitments and vacant facilities discussed in Note 1,
which extend beyond one year:

The total of future minimum rentals to be received under noncancellable
subleases related to the above leases is $8,740,000. No material losses in
excess of the liabilities recorded are expected in the future.

In October 1992, Anacomp and Xerox Corp. announced a joint effort to develop a
Xerox Compatibility Feature (XCF) that will enable the XFP 2000 to process and
image Xerox high speed printing data streams. This effort will result in the
XFP 2000 being able to output virtually all Xerox print data streams, including
those containing fonts, forms, logos, signatures and other images on
microfiche. At September 30, 1994, $350,000 remains to be paid related to
services to be performed.


Anacomp also executed a software license agreement with Xerox to use the XCF.
The agreement obligates Anacomp to pay Xerox $1,277,000 as a prepayment for 100
software license fees. The payment is due upon final acceptance of the XCF
scheduled for January 1995.

In November 1993, Anacomp and Pennant Systems, a division of IBM, announced a
joint effort to develop software which will allow Anacomp's XFP 2000 to process
and image IBM Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) formatted data. This program
will result in the XFP 2000 being able to interpret AFP data streams, including,
as with the Xerox program, those containing fonts, logos, signatures and other
images on microfiche.
54
As consideration for the development of the AFP, Anacomp agreed to pay Pennant
Systems a development fee of $6,500,000 payable quarterly from January 1994,
through April 1995. At September 30, 1994 $5,250,000 remains to be paid; $2.5
million has been accrued; and $2.75 million relates to services to be performed.

Anacomp also must pay Pennant Systems royalty payments for the licensed system
installations over the next six years. The minimum royalty payments for years
one through three are $1,500,000 per year and $1,000,000 per year for years
four through six. In addition, Anacomp must pay Pennant Systems for ongoing
system support which begins in December 1995 and continues for 10 years. The
minimum system support payments over the 10 year period are $5,671,000.

During 1994, the Company sold $5.9 million of lease receivables. Under the
terms of the sales, the purchasers have recourse to the Company should the
receivables prove to be uncollectible. The amount of the recourse at September
30, 1994 is $3.4 million.

Anacomp also is involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to its
business and believes that the outcome of any of those matters will not have a
material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

NOTE 14.
EARNINGS PER SHARE:

The computation of earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period plus (in periods in which they
have a dilutive effect) the effect of common shares contingently issuable,
primarily from stock options, exercise of warrants and acquisitions. Fully
diluted earnings per share also reflect additional dilution related to stock
options due to the use of the market price at the end of the period, when
higher than the average price for the period.

The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used to
compute earnings per share is:


Year ended September 30, 1994 1993 1992

For earnings per common and
common equivalent share ....... 46,691,337 42,749,933 41,712,865


For earnings per share
