PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

John H. Harland Company (the "Company" or the "Registrant") was founded in
1923 as a general printer and lithographer. Today, the Company is a leading
printer and supplier of checks, business documents and forms to the financial
industry. The Company also designs and produces optical mark reading ("OMR")
and optical character recognition ("OCR") forms and equipment for use in
educational and commercial markets. The Company, a Georgia corporation, is
headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and operates primarily in the printing
industry. In addition, the Company operates one major subsidiary, Scantron
Corporation ("Scantron").
Scantron produces and provides OMR equipment and scannable forms to the
educational and commercial markets. Scantron is a Delaware corporation based
in Tustin, California. In November 1991, Scantron acquired the remaining 50%
of Datascan, its European partner in OMR/OCR machine development and
distribution, for $3 million. In September 1993, Scantron acquired Economics
Research, Inc. ("ERI"), a software company based in Costa Mesa, California.
ERI provides test development, scoring, analysis and grade management
products for educational markets.
In February 1992, the Company acquired the net assets of Interchecks Inc.
("Interchecks"), a Seattle, Washington-based check printer for $50 million in
cash. Interchecks was purchased from the United Kingdom company Bowater plc
through its United States subsidiary Rexham Inc. On January 1, 1993, the
Company acquired substantially all the net assets of Rocky Mountain Bank Note
Company ("RMBN"), a Lakewood, Colorado-based check printer, for $37.9 million
in cash. A portion of the consideration was financed through borrowings under
the Company's unsecured line of credit and the balance was paid in cash. RMBN
assets were purchased from ROMO Corp., the sole shareholder of RMBN.
In October 1993, the Company announced the formation of a new subsidiary,
The Check Store, Inc. ("The Check Store"), which will market checks and
related products directly to consumers. The Check Store will become
operational during the first half of 1994.
On January 7, 1994, the Company acquired Marketing Profiles, Inc. ("MPI").
MPI is based in Maitland, Florida and is a database marketing and consulting
company which provides software products and related marketing services to
the financial industry. On March 24, 1994, the Company announced that it had
signed a definitive agreement to purchase the net assets of FormAtion
Technologies, Inc.("FTI"). FTI develops, markets and supports lending and
platform automation software for the financial services industry. The FTI
acquisition is expected to be completed by March 31, 1994. Both the MPI and
FTI transactions were for cash amounts which are not considered material.
During 1993, the Company developed three strategic alliances with
independent companies to provide its financial industry customers with
additional services and products. Through its alliance with TeleCheck
Services, Inc., the nation's leading provider of check authorization and
related guarantee services, the Company addresses security and fraud concerns
of financial institutions. Through Cardpro Services, Inc., a nationwide
provider of magnetic stripe cards, the Company provides full-service plastic
card programs for financial institutions. Through its alliance with
Bottomline Technologies, Inc. , a leader in desktop printing of magnetic ink
character recognition ("MICR") readable documents, the Company offers point
of service production capabilities of MICR readable documents.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS UNITS

Overview
In 1993, the Company operated under two business units, the Financial
Services Group ("FSG") and the Data Services Group ("DSG"). Both units oper-
ate primarily within the printing industry segment. FSG provides financial
documents to support America's payment systems. DSG's principal operation is
the production of data collection forms which are used in conjunction with
form reading equipment.
Approximately 95% of the Company's consolidated revenues during the three
years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, were from sales
of checks and related items, business documents, and scannable forms.
Approximately 5% of the Company's consolidated revenues during the periods
were from sales of scanning equipment and revenues from other areas.

Financial Services Group
FSG includes the Company's check printing operations and specialty
printing operations. FSG's principal products consist of MICR encoded checks,
deposit tickets and related forms for financial institutions and their
customers. The product line consists of a number of different styles of
checks including scenic checks, which incorporate multi-colored backgrounds,
personal and business three-to-the-page checks and carbonized payroll,
voucher, window, and computer generated checks (includes continuous form
checks and checks produced with laser printers). In 1993, FSG's overall
prices of its checks and related products remained essentially unchanged from
1992 due to competitive conditions in the check printing industry.
FSG, through its specialty print operations, also produces a number of
printed or lithographed custom printed packages, forms, business products and
computer-related documents for sale to financial institutions and other
commercial establishments. Such custom printed items include specially
designed checks and deposit tickets printed with a customer's individual
design, magnetically encoded internal control documents and carbon-
interleaved forms.
FSG's documents are printed on stock lithographed in its 7 base stock
plants and at its specialty printing plant. FSG imprints checks and related
product documents at its 50 check printing facilities located in 33 states
and 1 plant in Puerto Rico. All of these plants are devoted exclusively to
printing checks, deposit tickets and related forms.
FSG's products are marketed across the United States and in Puerto Rico
through a sales force of approximately 360 personnel. FSG's sales
organization is organized by customer type through three distinct sales
support units, Primary, National and Business Services. The Primary sales
unit, consisting of approximately 280 sales representatives, serves community
based financial institutions. The National Accounts sales unit of 70 sales
representatives serves the top 400 financial institutions in the country. The
Business Services unit, consisting of approximately 10 representatives,
serves selected retail markets such as superstores, software companies and
catalog merchandisers. The primary responsibility of the sales force is to
consult with customers regarding their needs and provide solutions to meet
those needs. FSG also uses catalogs, brochures and similar sales aides to
present solutions to customers.

Data Services Group
The DSG provides creative data collection and management solutions for its
customers. Data collection represents diverse technologies with similar



-4-







objectives -- converting information into a computer-compatible format, then
providing information that can be used for a specific function. DSG
concentrates on the production and distribution of OMR, OCR and imaging forms
and systems within the data collection market. DSG's principal products are
scanning equipment and the scannable forms used in conjunction with the
equipment. DSG also offers maintenance services for the scanning machines and
software products related to data collection and analysis activities.
DSG forms and equipment are used as a solution for capturing, tabulating
and analyzing data. DSG's primary market is the educational field for test
scoring and grade reporting. Within the commercial sector, DSG equipment and
forms are used to collect and analyze survey responses, inventory informa-
tion, employee evaluations, order information and other forms of data collec-
tion and analysis.
The products are marketed primarily through 193 sales and service
representatives located in 49 locations throughout the United States and 2
locations in Canada. Representatives sell and place new equipment and provide
ongoing assistance, such as machine servicing and development of new forms.
DSG's products are also marketed in certain foreign countries through
distributorships.

Other Information Relating to Business of the Company

Seasonal Business
There is a seasonal nature to DSG's business in the educational market,
but it does not significantly affect the Company's consolidated results.

Patent, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions
On February 4, 1992, the Company received a patent on a Scannable Form and
System developed by Scantron. This patent expires February 4, 2009. Also,
the Company has trademarks on names of several of its products and services.
The Company believes these patents and trademarks impact business, however,
it does not consider any of them to be critical to its operation.

Competition
Financial Services Group -- At the present time, there are a number of
domestic companies specializing in the production of MICR encoded checks and
related items similar to those produced by the Company. The Company believes
that the primary competitive factors considered by customers are printing
accuracy, service capabilities, price and the availability of a complete
product line. The Company compares favorably with its competitors with regard
to these above mentioned factors. Although complete statistics on check
production are not available, the Company believes it is among the largest
printers of MICR encoded personalized checks in the United States. One other
printer has substantially greater sales and financial resources than the
Company.
Technological advancements in electronics have created possible
alternatives to the check as a medium of transferring funds. While electronic
funds transfer has gained acceptance for some applications, it has had
minimal acceptance by consumers as a mode of personal payment. At this time,
the Company cannot determine or predict what effect this technology may
eventually have on the check printing business.
Data Services Group -- The data collection market is a highly fragmented
industry, with many large and small competitors, and is growing at
approximately 15% annually. DSG products are sold mainly in the United States
with minor sales activity in Puerto Rico, Canada, Europe, the Middle East and



-5-







the Far East. Scannable forms are produced by commercial and specialized
forms printers throughout the United States. DSG has attempted to identify
and develop specialized products for niche markets. DSG believes it is the
leading provider of OMR stand-alone equipment to the educational market in
the United States. In Canada, one competitor has substantially larger sales.
The loss of any one customer in the FSG or DSG would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

Raw Materials
The Company purchases its principal raw materials (safety paper, form
paper and MICR bond) from several large domestic manufacturers. Past
conditions in the paper market have resulted in temporary increases in paper
prices and required advanced scheduling of paper deliveries. However, raw
materials have traditionally been readily available, and the Company has
never experienced a paper shortage.
The Company purchases other raw materials, such as vinyl (used in the
production of check book covers), inks, checkboards, packaging materials and
miscellaneous paper from a number of suppliers.
The components used in the assembly and manufacturing of the OMR equipment
are purchased from equipment manufacturers, supply firms and others. The
Company has no reason to believe that it cannot continue to obtain such
materials or suitable substitutes for its operation. The Company has no long-
term contracts with any of its raw material suppliers.

Number of Employees
As of December 31, 1993, the Company and its subsidiaries employed ap-
proximately 7,300 people (includes 649 temporary employees).

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 1993, the Company and its subsidiaries owned 49

taled 2,000,000 square feet. The Company leases approximately 591,000 square

JOHN H. HARLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements and related financial information included in
this report were prepared by the Company in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Management's best
estimates and judgments were used, where appropriate. Management is
responsible for the integrity of the financial statements and for other
financial information included in this report. The consolidated financial
statements and supplementary financial schedules have been audited by the
Company's independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche. As set forth in their
report, their audits were conducted in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards and formed the basis for their opinion on the
accompanying financial statements. They consider the Company's control
structure and perform such tests and other procedures as they deem necessary
to express an opinion on the fairness of the financial statements.

The Company maintains a control structure which is designed to provide
reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that the financial
records reflect the authorized transactions of the Company. As a part of this
process, the Company has an internal audit function which evaluates the
adequacy and effectiveness of the control structure.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors includes directors who are
neither officers nor employees of the Company. The Committee meets
periodically with management, internal auditors and the independent auditors

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
John H. Harland Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of John H.
Harland Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and
the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders'
equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in Item
14(a)2. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules
based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of John H. Harland Company and
its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set
forth therein.

As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income
taxes to conform with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109.

JOHN H. HARLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of John H. Harland Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries (the "Company"). Intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost
of inventory for checks and related forms is determined by average costing.
Cost of scannable forms and hardware component parts inventories is
determined by the first-in, first-out method. Cost of data entry terminals is
determined by the specific identification method.
Investments - Short-term investments are carried at cost plus accrued
interest, which approximates market, and consist primarily of certificates of
deposit and demand notes with original maturities in excess of three months.
Marketable equity securities included in long-term investments are carried at
the lower of cost or market. Other long-term investments are carried
principally at cost.
Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are carried
at cost. Depreciation of buildings is computed primarily by the declining
balance method. Depreciation of equipment, furniture and fixtures is
calculated by the straight-line or sum-of-the-years digits methods. Leasehold
improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the life of the
lease or the life of the property, whichever is shorter. Accelerated methods
are used for income tax purposes for all property where it is allowed.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles - Amortization of goodwill is calculated by
the straight-line method over a 40-year period. The Company periodically
assesses the recoverability of goodwill based on its judgment as to the
future profitability of its operations. Other intangible assets consist
primarily of purchased customer lists and non-compete covenants. Amortization
of other intangible assets is calculated by the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life which is primarily a 5-year period.
Net Income Per Share - Net income per common share is based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common share
equivalents outstanding during each year which was 32,460,128 for 1993,
35,688,645 for 1992 and 37,468,637 for 1991. Common share equivalents include
the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company's stock
options and the conversion of convertible securities. The difference between
primary and fully diluted common share equivalents is not significant.
Income Taxes - Effective Jan. 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS
109") in which deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on
the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse.

2. BUSINESS SEGMENTS: The Company operates principally within the printing
industry.

3. ACQUISITIONS: On January 1, 1993, the Company completed the acquisition
of substantially all the net assets of the Denver-based Rocky Mountain Bank
Note Company ("RMBN") for cash of $37.9 million and acquisition related costs
of approximately $8.9 million. The purchase was funded through short-term
borrowings of $18.0 million and by internally generated funds. The acquisi-
tion has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the acquired net
assets and operations have been included in the consolidated financial state-
ments from the date of acquisition. Assets acquired totaled $46.8 million,
net of liabilities assumed of $2.0 million. Of the total acquisition cost,
$25.7 million was allocated to intangible assets, of which $10.7 million
represented goodwill.
On February 19, 1992, the Company completed the acquisition of
substantially all the net assets of Interchecks Inc. ("Interchecks"), a
Seattle, Washington-based check printer for a cash purchase price of $50
million and acquisition related costs of $9.4 million. The acquisition has
been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the acquired net assets
and operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements
from the date of acquisition. Assets acquired totaled $59.4 million, net of
liabilities assumed of $4.7 million. Of the total acquisition cost, $38.4
million was allocated to intangible assets, of which $13.4 million
represented goodwill.
The following represents the unaudited pro forma results of operations
which assumes the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the respective
year in which the assets were acquired as well as the beginning of the
immediately preceding year. These results include certain adjustments,
primarily increased amortization of intangible assets, reduced interest
income and reduced depreciation expense (in thousands of dollars, except per
share amounts):
1992 1991
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales $ 539,889 $ 453,541
Income before cumulative effect of change
in accounting principle 55,968 45,938
Net income 55,968 43,553
Per common share:
Income before cumulative effect of change
in accounting principle 1.57 1.21
Net income 1.57 1.15

The pro forma financial information presented above does not purport to be
indicative of either the results of operations that would have occurred had
the acquisitions taken place at the beginning of the periods presented or of
future results of operations of the combined businesses.

4. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE: During the fourth quarter of 1991, the Company
recorded a provision of $12,191,000 for the restructuring and revaluation of
certain subsidiaries and investments of $9,191,000 and for taxes of
$3,000,000 for the repatriation of earnings from Puerto Rico. The Company's
policy had been to invest such earnings long term to avoid the payment of
taxes upon repatriation.

5. INVESTMENTS AND OTHER ASSETS: Long-term investments at December 31, 1993
primarily consisted of investments in limited partnerships.
Other assets at December 31, 1992 included a $31,900,000 deposit related
to the acquisition of RMBN.



-F10-








6. SHORT-TERM DEBT: At December 31, 1993, the Company had available unsecured
lines of credit under which it could borrow up to $111,000,000 in the form of
short-term notes for which no compensating balances or commitment fees are
required. At December 31, 1992, the Company had borrowed $18,000,000 under
the lines of credit at an interest rate of 3.8%. No amounts were outstanding
under the lines of credit at December 31, 1993.
In addition, the Company had outstanding at December 31, 1993 and 1992 an
Industrial Revenue Bond, due on demand, in the amount of $4,000,000 which
bears interest at an average rate of 5.26%.

7. LONG-TERM DEBT: The Company's long-term debt consists of (in thousands):

1993 1992
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Series A Senior Notes $ 85,000
Term Loan 15,000

112,077 13,152
Less current portion 535 530
-----------------------
Long-term Debt $ 111,542 $ 12,622
=======================

In December 1993, the Company issued $85,000,000 of Series A Senior Notes
("Senior Notes") and arranged a $15,000,000 Term Loan ("Term Loan"). The
Senior Notes and the Term Loan are at fixed interest rates of 6.60% and
6.63%, respectively. The Senior Notes mature from 2004 to 2008 and the Term
Loan is due 2003. Both the Term Loan and the Senior Notes contain certain
covenants, the most restrictive of which limit the amount of funded
indebtedness of the Company and require the Company to maintain a minimum
fixed charge coverage ratio. At December 31, 1993, the Company was in
compliance with the covenants associated with these agreements.
The Company's 6.75% convertible subordinated debentures are convertible
into common stock of the Company at any time prior to maturity, at a
conversion price of $25.17 per share, subject to adjustment in certain
events. At December 31, 1993, there were 328,249 shares of common stock
reserved for conversion of the debentures. The debentures are entitled to an
annual mandatory sinking fund, commencing June 1, 1996, calculated to retire
75% of the debentures prior to maturity in 2011. The debentures are
redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Company at
specific redemption prices plus accrued interest. The debentures are
subordinated to all senior debt.
Other long-term debt relates principally to capitalized lease obligations.
Annual maturities of long-term debt including sinking fund requirements
during the next five years are: 1994-$535,000; 1995-$519,000; 1996-$813,000;
1997-$559,000; and 1998-$550,000.

8. INCOME TAXES: Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS 109.
Previously, the Company had computed its income tax expense in accordance
with the provisions of the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11. The
cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 109 was not significant to the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

The Company has deferred compensation agreements with certain officers.
The present value of cash benefits payable under the agreements is being
provided over the periods of active employment. The charge to expense for the
agreements was $345,000 in 1993, $286,000 in 1992 and $463,000 in 1991.

13. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS: The Company sponsors two defined postretirement
benefit plans that cover qualifying salaried and non-salaried employees. One
plan provides health care benefits and the other provides life insurance
benefits. The medical plan is contributory and contributions are adjusted
annually based on actual claims experience, while the life insurance plan is
noncontributory. The Company's intent is that the retiree provide
approximately 50% of the actual cost of providing the medical plan. Neither
plan is funded.
In 1991, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and elected
immediate recognition of the transition amount of $3,816,000 ($2,385,000
after income taxes).
As of December 31, 1993, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
("APBO") was $7,614,000. The following table reconciles the plans' status to
the accrued postretirement health care and life insurance liability as
reflected on the balance sheet as of December 31, (in thousands):

1993 1992
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
APBO:
Retirees $ 1,890 $ 1,834
Fully eligible participants 1,790 1,057
Other participants 3,934 2,907
--------------------
7,614 5,798
Unrecognized net loss (1,195) (457)
---------------------
Accrued postretirement benefit obligation
- included in Other Liabilities $ 6,419 $ 5,341
=====================

Net postretirement costs are summarized as follows (in thousands):

1993 1992 1991
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service costs $ 245 $ 184 $ 131
Interest on APBO 523 456 338
--------------------------------
Net periodic postretirement cost $ 768 $ 640 $ 469
================================

For measurement purposes, the cost of providing medical benefits was
assumed to increase by 12% in 1993, decreasing to an annual rate of 7.5%
after 1998. The medical cost trend rate assumption could have a significant
effect on amounts reported. An increase of 1% in the assumed rate of increase
would have had the effect of increasing the APBO by $851,000 and the net
periodic postretirement cost by $113,000. The weighted average discount rate
used in determining the APBO was 7.5% in 1993, 8.5% in 1992 and 9% in 1991
and employee earnings were estimated to increase 4.5% annually until age 65.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The following methods and assumptions were used to
estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it
is practicable to estimate that value:
Short-term investments - The carrying amount approximates fair value
because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Long-term investments - The fair values of certain investments are
estimated based on quoted market prices. The fair values of the Company's
investments in limited partnerships are based on estimates by general
partners in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. For the
Company's other investments, which are not actively traded and are
immaterial, fair value is based on an estimate of the net realizable value of
those investments.
Long-term debt - The fair values of the Company's convertible debentures
are based on recent market quotes. The fair value of the other long-term debt
is based on estimated rates currently available to the Company for debt with
similar terms and maturities.
The carrying value and estimated fair values of the Company's financial
instruments at December 31, 1993 and 1992 are as follows (in thousands):

Carrying Value Fair Value
1993 1992 1993 1992
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assets:
Short-term investments $ 1,900 $ 150 $ 1,900 $ 150
Long-term investments 8,103 7,705 9,169 8,601
Liabilities:
Long-term debt 111,542 12,622 112,105 13,931

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Total rental expense was $12,257,000 in
1993, $6,969,000 in 1992, and $3,731,000 in 1991. Minimum annual rentals
under non-cancellable operating leases total $22,471,000 and range from
$7,536,000 in 1994 to $1,847,000 in 1998.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT: On January 7, 1994, the Company acquired Marketing
Profiles, Inc. ("MPI") for $18,000,000 in cash and a contingent purchase
payment payable in 1997 to the former MPI shareholders. The contingent
purchase payment is based upon a multiple of MPI's 1996 operating results as
defined in the acquisition agreement. The acquisition price was funded with a
portion of the proceeds received in the December 1993 issuance of long-term
debt (See Note 7). The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of MPI will
be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date
of acquisition. MPI is based in Maitland, Florida and is a database marketing
and consulting company which provides software products and related marketing
services to the financial industry.

JOHN H. HARLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1993 versus 1992
1993 consolidated net sales increased $74.5 million or 16.7% over 1992 and
represented the 44th consecutive year of sales increases. The Company's
Financial Services Group ("FSG") had a net sales increase of $72.1 million or
18.4% which consisted of an 18.1% increase in units and a price and product
mix increase of 0.3%. The FSG sales increase is attributable to the
acquisition of Rocky Mountain Bank Note Company ("RMBN") in January 1993
coupled with the impact of the February 1992 acquisition of Interchecks, Inc.
("Interchecks") (see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). Competitive pricing pressures within the check printing
industry contributed to the mild change in the FSG price and product mix. Net
sales by the Company's Data Services Group ("DSG") increased $2.4 million or
4.6% in 1993 primarily due to increases in hardware sales and service-related
revenues while 1993 form sales were flat compared to 1992. The hardware sales
and service-related revenue increases offset sales decreases by DSG's
European sales subsidiary Datascan and the loss of revenues associated with
American Testronics Company, the assets of which were sold in June 1992.
Consolidated cost of goods sold increased $52.2 million or 22.1% and
increased as a percentage of sales to 55.6% from 53.2% in 1992. FSG's cost of
goods sold increased as a percentage of sales to 56.0% from 53.4% in 1992
primarily due to acquired operations, which had lower margins, and
duplication of costs during integration of acquired operations. FSG achieved
labor productivity improvements of 0.6% in 1993. DSG's cost of goods sold
increased slightly as a percentage of sales to 51.8% in 1993 from 51.1% in
1992. DSG's gross margin improved as a result of the 1992 sale of American
Testronics Company, which had lower margins, but the improvement was offset
by increased machine sales and service-related revenues, which have lower
margins than forms, and by increased product development costs.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased $14.0
million or 12.6% in 1993 primarily due to acquired operations, higher
information systems costs and increases in employee health care costs. As a
percentage of sales, consolidated selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased from 25.0% in 1992 to 24.1% in 1993. The consolidation of
selling and certain administrative functions of the acquired operations was a
primary factor contributing to this decrease. Profit sharing costs increased
$0.5 million but decreased as a percentage of sales from 2.0% in 1992 to 1.9%
in 1993.
Due to the February 1992 acquisition of Interchecks and the January 1993
acquisition of RMBN, amortization of intangibles increased $4.0 million over
1992 and was 1.7% as a percentage of sales in 1993 compared to 1.1% in 1992.
Of the total 1993 amortization of intangibles, $8.0 million relates to
intangible assets which are being amortized over 5 years.
Interest and other income (expense) - net decreased $6.4 million from
1992. The primary components of the change were gains of $3.4 million
realized in 1992 on the dispositions of American Testronics Company and the
Puerto Rico bond investment portfolio and increased interest expense, which
totaled $2.6 million in 1993 due to increased levels of debt. Another
component of the interest and other income (expense) - net change was reduced
interest income earned in 1993 due to lower average cash and investment
balances.
Income before income taxes decreased $2.6 million or 2.9% from 1992 and


-F17-






decreased as a percentage of sales from 19.8% in 1992 to 16.5% in 1993. The
effective consolidated income tax rate for 1993 was 38.7% compared to 35.8%
in 1992. The effective tax rate increased primarily as a result of the
Omnibus Tax Reconciliation Act of 1993, which increased the federal corporate
tax rate from 34% to 35%, and certain nonrecurring tax exempt items and
higher tax exempt income in 1992.

1992 versus 1991
Consolidated 1992 sales increased $66.3 million or 17.5% over 1991. Both
FSG and DSG experienced sales increases with FSG contributing $60.7 million
of the increase and DSG contributing $5.6 million. FSG's sales growth was
attributable to a 25.7% increase in check unit production tempered by a 7.4%
reduction from price and product mix. The unit increase came principally from
the new business obtained through the acquisition of Interchecks in February
1992 with a lesser portion due to an increase in FSG's core business. Lower
pricing in 1992 resulted from competitive conditions in the check printing
industry. DSG's sales increased 11.8% partially due to the consolidation of
Datascan's results of operations after acquisition of the remaining 50% of
Datascan's stock in December 1991 and to sales increases in educational
markets.
Consolidated gross profit margin declined in 1992 to 46.8% from 49.9% in
1991. Margins in both FSG and DSG were negatively impacted by acquired
operations (Interchecks and Datascan, respectively); however, FSG realized an
increase in labor efficiency of 3.6% in its core operations as a result of
completion of the conversion to offset printing and computerized production
systems in 1991. DSG's margin declines were moderated by the sales increase
in standard forms in its educational markets which generally provide higher
margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $17.0 million in
1992 or 18.1% and, as a percentage of sales, increased to 25.0% from 24.8% in
1991. The primary components of this increase were employee health care
costs, the costs of enhanced data processing systems, expenses of acquired
operations and marketing costs associated with customer relations. Profit
sharing costs increased $1.0 million but decreased as a percentage of sales
from 2.1% in 1991 to 2.0% in 1992.
Amortization of intangibles costs associated with the acquired operations
totaled $4.7 million or 1.1% as a percentage of sales.
Interest and other income decreased $0.5 million or 9.5% from 1991, which
is attributable to both lower interest rates and significantly lower
investment balances, a result of the use of funds for the acquisitions of
Interchecks and Datascan and for the stock repurchase program. The reduced
interest and other income was offset by $3.4 million of gains realized in the
sale of the Puerto Rico bond investment portfolio and the sale of the assets
of American Testronics Company.
The Company's effective consolidated income tax rate decreased to 35.8%
from 37.5% primarily due to the higher level of tax exempt income in 1992.

Outlook
The Company will continue its efforts to further diversify its business
during 1994. On January 7, 1994, the Company acquired Marketing Profiles,
Inc. ("MPI"), a database marketing and consulting company which provides
software products and related marketing services to the financial industry.
See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In October 1993, the Company announced the formation of a new subsidiary,
The Check Store, Inc. ("The Check Store"), which will market checks and
related products directly to consumers. The direct marketing of checks and
related products to consumers is currently the fastest growing segment of the


-F18-






check printing market and The Check Store, which will become operational
during the first half of 1994, represents the Company's entry into this
distribution channel. It is anticipated that The Check Store will have lower
margins than the Company's traditional check printing operations and, due to
start-up costs and expenditures for marketing and product development, will
negatively impact the Company's results and cash flows during 1994. The
Company is unable to determine if or when The Check Store operations will
contribute positively to cash flow or operating results.
The Company expects that its check printing operations will continue to
experience competitive pricing pressures during 1994, and as a result the
price component of changes in revenue might be flat or negative. However, the
Company anticipates that profit margins should experience a slight
improvement in 1994 as a result of the continued integration of acquired
operations along with other cost control measures.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash flows provided by operations in 1993 were $90.7 million compared to
$78.4 million in 1992, an increase of 15.7%. The primary uses of funds in
1993 were for the purchase of the Company's common stock, the acquisition of
the net assets of RMBN, additions to property, plant and equipment and
dividends paid to the Company's shareholders.
In December 1993, the Company issued $85.0 million of Series A Senior
Notes ("Senior Notes") with a final maturity of December 2008, and also
arranged a $15.0 Million Term Loan ("Term Loan") due December 2003. The
Senior Notes and the Term Loan have a fixed annual interest rate of 6.60% and
6.63%, respectively. Proceeds from these obligations were used to repay
amounts outstanding under short-term lines of credit and to fund the January
1994 purchase of MPI and will be used to fund additional purchases of Company
stock and for general corporate purposes.
The Company has unsecured lines of credit which provide for borrowing up
to $111.0 million. At December 31, 1993, no amounts were outstanding under
these lines, a decrease of $18.0 million from December 31, 1992.
Excluding the borrowings under the unsecured lines of credit, which the
Company replaced with long-term financing, the ratio of current assets to
current liabilities increased from 2.7 at December 31, 1992 to 3.1 at
December 31, 1993, and working capital increased to $90.9 million at December
31, 1993 from $69.2 million at December 31, 1992.
In March 1993, the Company completed a program announced in November 1991
to repurchase 4.0 million shares of its common stock. In June 1993, the
Company initiated a new program to repurchase 3.4 million additional common
shares which was completed in November 1993 at an average cost of $26.24 per
share. In December 1993, the Company announced another program to repurchase
1.5 million common shares but had not purchased any shares under this program
as of December 31, 1993.
Additions to property, plant and equipment for 1993 were $27.1 million
compared to $18.7 million in 1992. The Company anticipates 1994 capital
expenditures will total approximately $37 million.
On December 31, 1993, the Company had $28.1 million in cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments. The Company believes that its current
cash position, funds from operations and available amounts under its lines of
credit will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for working
capital, dividends, capital expenditures, the purchase of MPI, the announced
stock repurchase program and other corporate needs.
