DELUXE CORPORATION

PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

Deluxe Corporation was incorporated under the laws of Minnesota in 1920 as
the successor to a business founded in 1915. Unless the context otherwise
requires, the term "Company," as used herein, refers to Deluxe Corporation and
its seven wholly owned subsidiaries.

The seven wholly owned subsidiaries are: Deluxe Data Systems, Inc., a
supplier of software and processing services for automated teller machines,
point-of-sale systems, automated clearing houses and government benefit
transfers; Chex Systems, Inc., a new-account verification business providing
services to financial institutions; Electronic Transaction Corporation, a data
base business providing check authorization information to retailers; Deluxe
U.K. Limited, a manufacturer of short-run computer and business forms in the
United Kingdom; PaperDirect, Inc., a direct mail marketer of specialty paper;
Nelco, Inc., a supplier of tax forms, tax forms software, and electronic tax
filing services ; and Current, Inc., a direct mail marketer of greeting cards,
stationery, bank checks and related consumer specialty products.

The Company has three basic business units: (1) Payment Systems, in which
the Company provides check printing, electronic funds transfer, automated
terminal machine (ATM) card services and credit reporting services; (2) Business
Systems, in which the Company manufactures and supplies computer and business
forms, record-keeping systems, and a variety of related office products and
services; and (3) Consumer Specialty Products, in which the Company manufactures
and distributes, primarily through direct mail, greeting cards, gift wrap,
stationery, bank checks, and other products for household use. With the
exception of a relatively small volume of business forms and paper sales in the
United Kingdom, practically all of the Company's products and services are sold
in the United States.

Reference is made to the information contained in Note 9, Business Segment
Information, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 37 in the
Company's Annual Report.

PAYMENT SYSTEMS

The Company's Payment Systems Division prints and sells to banks and other
financial institutions and depositors a variety of checks and related banking
forms. It directs its efforts to the production and marketing of checks and
deposit tickets for personal and business

- 2 -



accounts. Several check styles are offered; some are designed for desk or office
use; others are designed to be carried in a pocket or purse.

Substantially all of the Company's checks and related banking forms are
imprinted with magnetic ink and are designed to conform with the specifications
of the magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) program currently utilized by
the U.S. banking system.

For several years the banking industry and others have been seeking ways to
improve the payment system and a variety of alternatives to the bank check as a
medium for settling financial transactions have been introduced, including, for
example, charge cards, credit cards, debit cards, telephone bill payment, etc.
Although such alternative means of settling financial transactions may reduce
the demand for checks, the Company is unable to predict the precise extent of
application of such alternatives or their effect on its future operations.

In the case of checks, depositors commonly submit initial orders and
reorders to their financial institutions which forward them to one of the
Company's printing plants. Completed orders are sent directly by the Company to
the depositors, typically on the business day after receipt of the order. The
Company's charges are paid by the financial institutions, which in turn usually
deduct the amounts from the depositors' accounts.

Skeleton check forms are lithographed in three of the Company's regional
warehouse and distribution centers, principally on high-speed roll-fed presses.
From these centers, the forms are distributed to the Company's 48 check
production plants, where names, addresses, financial institution name and other
information are printed on the documents. The Company's facilities are located
in major metropolitan areas throughout the United States.

The Company has no material backlog of orders. Approximately 96 percent of
all check orders received by the Company in 1993 were completed and shipped no
later than the first working day after receipt of the order. The approximate
number of financial institutions (not including branches as separate entities)
to which the Company made gross sales of checks and related banking forms in
excess of $100,000 during the year was 1,926. No single institution, including
its branches, accounted for more than approximately 2 percent of the Company's
1993 check sales.

The Company's principal raw materials are safety paper and special MICR
bond papers. The Company purchases substantially all of its safety paper from
Simpson Paper Company, which finishes and warehouses the paper in its plants in
Warwick, New York, and Burlington, Iowa. Most of the Company's special MICR bond
papers are obtained from Georgia Pacific Corporation, primarily from its
facility in Port Edwards, Wisconsin. The Company has no long-term contract with
any of its suppliers and has never experienced a shortage of either safety paper
or MICR bond papers. In order to assure adequate sources of supply, the Company
is continually experimenting with the use of special MICR bond papers from other
suppliers. Other raw materials used by the Company are of a standard composition
and are purchased from a number of sources at competitive prices.

The Company's primary competitors in the sale of bank checks and related
banking forms are two other large national printers who specialize in check
printing. However, any printer which complies with the American Bankers
Association's specifications for MICR

- 3 -



printing is a potential competitor. The Company is the largest firm engaged
principally in check printing.

The Company is also a major supplier of electronic funds transfer software
and processing services, particularly software and services for automated teller
machines, processing of ATM interchange transactions within and between regional
shared networks, and electronic benefit transactions. Deluxe provides ATM
transaction processing technology and services to six of the 10 largest ATM
networks. The Company provides electronic benefit transactions services for the
automated payment of aid to dependent children and food stamp benefits in
Maryland and New Jersey.

Competition for the Company's electronic funds transfer software and
processing services comes from several large financial institutions and
communications companies.

BUSINESS SYSTEMS

This division directs its primary efforts to the production and marketing
of short-run printed computer and business forms and record-keeping systems for
small businesses and professional practices. In addition, it is a direct mail
marketer of decorated and other specialty papers to users of laser printers and
office copiers. Other products and services marketed by the division include tax
forms, tax forms software, one-write accounting systems, and electronic tax
filing services.

The division has no material backlog of orders and does not carry
significant inventory. Approximately 94 percent of all personalized standard
forms orders were completed and shipped no later than the third working day
after receipt, and all custom forms were completed and shipped no later than the
fifth day after receipt. Orders for specialty papers were typically filled no
later than the first day after receipt.

Business Systems' products are sold primarily through direct mail and check
package advertisements. Business Systems' products are produced or inventoried
in nine of the Company's plants. Its competition consists of a large number of
national and local business forms and office products suppliers and tax filing
service providers.

CONSUMER SPECIALTY PRODUCTS

This division produces and markets greeting cards, gift wrap, miscellaneous
stationery and bank checks. In addition, it markets a variety of novelty items
for household use, many of which have been created by the division and are sold
under its proprietary trademarks. All such products are sold to consumers by
means of catalogs and other direct mail advertisements. Many of the division's
promotions are based on holidays, and due to the relative size of the year-end
holiday season, approximately 40 percent of the division's sales occur in the
fourth quarter.

Consumer Specialty Products are produced in two of the Company's plants.
The division's competitors are primarily the national greeting card and
stationery printers that market their products through owned and franchised card
and gift shops, and a large number of check printers that solicit orders by
direct mail.

EMPLOYEES

Including its subsidiaries, the Company has approximately 17,748 full and
part-time employees. It has a number of employee benefit plans, including
medical, hospitalization and retirement plans. The Company has never experienced
a work stoppage or strike and considers its employee relations to be good.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY

The executive officers of the Company are elected by the board of directors
each year. The term of office of each executive officer will expire at the
annual meeting of the board after the annual shareholders' meeting on May 9,
1994. The principal occupation of each of the executive officers listed below is
with the Company.

Item 2. Properties

The Company conducts production operations in 73 facilities located in 30
states, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom aggregating approximately 4,623,000
square feet; in addition, the Payment Systems Division occupies three facilities
in Shoreview, Minnesota, aggregating approximately 433,000 square feet, which
are devoted to administration, information systems, research and development,
the Business Systems Division occupies a 156,000 square foot administration
building in Shoreview, Minnesota, and the Consumer Specialty Products Division
occupies a 148,000 square foot administration and product design building in
Colorado Springs, Colorado. All but four of the production facilities are of
one story construction and most were constructed and equipped in accordance with
the Company's plans and specifications.

Over one-half of the Company's total production area has been constructed
during the past 20 years. The Company owns 58 of its facilities and leases the
remainder for terms expiring from 1994 to 2001. Depending upon the
circumstances, when a lease expires, the Company either renews the lease or
constructs a new facility to replace the leased facility. All facilities are
adequately equipped for the Company's operations.
