We have agreed with the initial purchasers of the private notes to make this exchange offer and to register the issuance of the exchange notes after the initial sale of the private notes. This exchange offer applies to any and all private notes tendered by the expiration date.

The terms “Moore North America Finance, Inc.” and “Finance Inc.” refer only to Moore North America Finance, Inc. as issuer of the notes and not its parent. The term “Wallace” refers to Wallace Computer Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries, prior to the merger. The terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Moore Wallace Incorporated and to the combined businesses of Moore and Wallace after giving effect to the consummation of the Wallace acquisition. “Moore Wallace” refers to Moore Wallace Incorporated and to the combined businesses of Moore and Wallace after giving effect to the consummation of the Wallace acquisition.

Overview
As a result of the Wallace acquisition, we are one of the largest integrated providers of print management solutions in North America with an established and diverseFortune 500customer base, a broad geographic production and distribution network and a diversified product offering.
Industry Overview
The printing industry is one of the largest and most fragmented industries in the United States. According to the 2002PIA Print Market Atlas, prepared byPrinting Industries of America, there were approximately 46,000 printing businesses operating in the United States, and these firms generated aggregate revenues (calculated on the basis of the estimated value of shipments) in 2001 of approximately $159 billion. These printing businesses operate in a broad range of segments, including general and commercial printing, packaging, forms and labels, specialty printing, trade services and others.
As a result of the high degree of fragmentation in the printing industry, no single company accounts for more than 4% of total industry revenues, based upon the 2002PIA Print Market Atlasestimated printing industry revenues. According toPrinting Impressions(December 2002), the top 10 printing firms accounted for less than 16% of total industry revenues and only 11 printing companies had revenues in excess of $1 billion.
Since mid-2001, revenues generated within the printing industry have declined, as weakness in advertising spending and generally difficult economic conditions have resulted in reduced demand for printing products and services. According toPrinting Industries of AmericaandThe National Association for Printing Leadership, revenues for the industry declined approximately 2% in 2001 and 2% in 2002.The National Association for Printing Leadershipnoted that this is the first period in which revenues have declined in two consecutive years in nearly three decades. Printing industry revenues have historically grown approximately in line with U.S. Gross Domestic Product.
There are three major trends affecting the printing industry. First, increased outsourcing of printing operations is leading to increased opportunities for commercial printers. Second, increased use of technology is driving a trend towards electronic substitution, which is leading to a decline in the printed forms sub-segment of

the market. Third, the industry is entering a phase of consolidation which is leading to an increase in market strength of companies that have greater capacity and scope of product offerings to provide to their customers versus smaller operations.
Recent Developments
On November 8, 2003, Moore Wallace entered into a business combination agreement with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, referred to hereafter as RR Donnelley, under which each common share of Moore Wallace will be exchanged for 0.63 of a share of common stock of RR Donnelley. The transaction was unanimously approved by the board of directors of both Moore Wallace and RR Donnelley but remains subject to closing conditions that include, among others, receipt of required approval from Moore Wallace’s and RR Donnelley’s shareholders, required regulatory approvals and the approval of a plan of arrangement by an Ontario court as required by Canadian law to effect the business combination. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2004 following regulatory approvals and other customary approvals. See also “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” contained elsewhere in this prospectus. There can be no assurance, however, that the business combination with RR Donnelley will be consummated in the manner described under “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information,” or at all.
On November 26, 2003, Moore Wallace entered into an agreement to acquire Payment Processing Solutions, Inc., referred to hereafter as Payment Processing, a Tennessee-based provider of mortgage statement processing solutions to the financial services industry, for approximately $92.5 million in cash and Moore Wallace common shares. The purchase price includes the repayment of outstanding debt of Payment Processing. This transaction is expected to close on December 31, 2003 following regulatory and other customary approvals. Pro forma disclosure of the impact of this acquisition has been excluded from this prospectus because it is not significant to Moore Wallace’s consolidated statements of operations and financial position.
The Acquisition
On May 15, 2003, Moore completed the acquisition of Wallace by acquiring all of the outstanding stock of Wallace in exchange for average consideration of $14.40 in cash and 1.05 shares of Moore for each outstanding share of Wallace. The merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were adopted and approved at a meeting of the shareholders of Wallace on May 15, 2003.
Information About Finance Inc.
Moore North America Finance, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Moore Holdings U.S.A. Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Moore Wallace Incorporated. Finance Inc. will not engage in any business operations and will have no obligations for borrowed money other than the exchange notes and its guarantee of amounts borrowed under the new senior secured credit facility. Separate financial statements for Finance Inc. are not included in this prospectus because such financial statements would not be meaningful nor would such statements provide holders of exchange notes any important financial information. Finance Inc.’s principal executive office is located at 1200 Lakeside Drive, Bannockburn, Illinois 60015-1243 and its telephone number is (847) 607-6000.

Summary of the Exchange Offer
The Exchange Offer | We are offering to exchange |
• | $1,000 principal amount of our 7 7/8% Senior Notes due 2011 registered under the Securities Act, which we refer to as exchange notes, |
for |
• | each $1,000 principal amount of our unregistered 7 7/8% Senior Notes due 2011 issued on March 14, 2003 in a private offering, which we refer to as private notes. |
We sometimes will refer to the exchange notes and the private notes together as the notes. As of the date of this prospectus, there is $403,000,000 aggregate principal amount of private notes outstanding. See “The Exchange Offer.” |
Expiration Date | The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 22, 2004, unless we extend it for up to 20 business days. In that case, the phrase “expiration date” will mean the latest date and time to which we extend the exchange offer. We will issue exchange notes on the expiration date or promptly after that date. |
Conditions to the Exchange Offer | The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions which include, among other things, any applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC which, in our reasonable judgment, would materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of private notes being submitted for exchange. See “The Exchange Offer — Conditions.” |
Procedures for Participating in the Exchange Offer | If you wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must complete, sign and date an original or faxed letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions contained in the letter of transmittal accompanying this prospectus. Then you must mail, fax or deliver the completed letter of transmittal, together with the notes you wish to exchange and any other required documentation to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, which is acting as exchange agent, on or before the expiration date. By signing the letter of transmittal, you will represent to and agree with us that, |
• | you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business; |
• | you are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no arrangement or understanding with anyone to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes; and |
3
Table of Contents
• | you are not an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of Finance Inc., or a broker-dealer tendering the private notes acquired directly from Finance Inc. for its own account. |
If you are a broker-dealer who will receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for private notes that you acquired as a result of your market-making or other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. |
Resale of Exchange Notes | We believe that you may offer for resale, resell and transfer your exchange notes without registering them under the Securities Act and delivering a prospectus, if you can make the same three representations that appear above under the heading “Procedures for Participating in the Exchange Offer.” Our belief is based on interpretations of the SEC staff for other exchange offers that the SEC staff expressed in some of the SEC’s no-action letters to other issuers in exchange offers like ours. |
We cannot guarantee that the SEC would make a similar decision about this exchange offer. If our belief is wrong, or if you cannot truthfully make the representations mentioned above, and you transfer any exchange note issued to you in the exchange offer without meeting the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, or without an exemption from such requirements, you could incur liability under the Securities Act. Neither we nor Finance Inc. are indemnifying you for any such liability and we will not protect you against any loss incurred as a result of any such liability under the Securities Act. |
If you are a broker-dealer that has received exchange notes for your own account in exchange for private notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, you must acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that you will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. We have agreed that for a period of up to 180 days after the registration statement is declared effective, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any such broker-dealer that requests copies of this prospectus in the letter of transmittal for use in connection with any such resale. |
Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners | If your private notes are held through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to surrender such private notes, you should contact your intermediary promptly and instruct it to surrender your private notes on your behalf. |
4
Table of Contents
If you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, before completing and executing the letter of transmittal for the exchange offer and delivering your private notes, either arrange to have your private notes registered in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take a long time. |
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures | If you wish to tender your private notes and you cannot meet the expiration date deadline, or you cannot deliver your private notes, the letter of transmittal or any other documentation on time, then you must surrender your private notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures appearing below under “The Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.” |
Acceptance of Private Notes and Delivery of Exchange Notes | We will accept for exchange any and all private notes that are properly surrendered in the exchange offer and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date, if you comply with the procedures of the exchange offer. The exchange notes will be delivered promptly after the expiration date. |
Withdrawal Rights | You may withdraw the surrender of your private notes at any time prior to the expiration date, by complying with the procedures for withdrawal described in “The Exchange Offer — Withdrawal of Tenders.” |
Accounting Treatment | We will not recognize a gain or loss for accounting purposes as a result of the exchange. |
Material Federal Income Tax Considerations | The exchange of private notes for exchange notes should not be a taxable transaction for United States Federal income tax purposes. You should not have to pay federal income tax as a result of your participation in the exchange offer. See “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.” |
Exchange Agent | J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association is serving as the exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer. J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (as successor trustee to Bank One, National Association) also serves as trustee under the indenture governing the notes. The address, telephone number and facsimile number of the exchange agent are listed under the heading “The Exchange Offer — Exchange Agent.” |
Failure to Exchange Private Notes Will Adversely Affect You | If you are eligible to participate in this exchange offer and you do not surrender your private notes as described in this prospectus, you will not have any further registration or exchange rights. In that event, your private notes will continue to accrue interest until maturity in accordance with the terms of the private notes but will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer. As a result of such restrictions and the availability of registered exchange notes, your private notes are likely to be a much less liquid security than before. |

THE EXCHANGE NOTES
The exchange notes have the same financial terms and covenants as the private notes. In this prospectus we sometimes refer to the private notes and the exchange notes together as the “Notes”. The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the outstanding private notes which they replace. The private notes are, and the exchange notes will be, governed by the same indenture. The brief summary below describes the principal terms of the exchange notes. Some of the terms and conditions described below are subject to important limitations and exceptions. The “Description of the Exchange Notes” section of this prospectus contains a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the exchange notes.
Issuer | Moore North America Finance, Inc. |
Notes Offered | $403 million aggregate principal amount of 7 7/8% Senior Notes due 2011. |
Maturity Date | January 15, 2011. |
Interest Payment Dates | January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2003. Interest will accrue from the date it was most recently paid. |
Guarantees | The exchange notes will be guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by us, and all of our existing U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and, as required by the indenture governing the notes, future subsidiaries. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries that are not organized in the United States or Canada that guarantee the new senior secured credit facility will guarantee the notes on an unsecured basis, subordinated to their guarantees under the new senior secured credit facility. |
Ranking | The exchange notes and related guarantees will be Finance Inc.’s and the related guarantors’, respectively, general unsecured obligations, ranking equally in right of payment to all of Finance Inc.’s and the related guarantors’ existing and future senior debt (other than the guarantees of our non-U.S. and non-Canadian subsidiaries under the senior credit facility debt, which will be senior to the guarantees of the notes by those subsidiaries) and effectively subordinate to Finance Inc.’s and the related guarantors’ existing and future senior secured debt. |
As of September 30, 2003, we had outstanding debt (including the notes and the senior credit facility debt) of approximately $923.3 million, of which approximately, $522.9 million is secured. The guarantors may incur additional secured and unsecured debt in the future, including under the new senior secured credit facility. As of September 30, 2003, approximately $350.0 million of additional debt is available under the revolving portion of the new senior secured credit facility. |
6
Table of Contents
The obligations under the notes and related guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2003, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had less than $5.1 million of debt outstanding. |
Optional Redemption | Except as provided below under “Optional Redemption after Equity Offerings” and “Optional Redemption upon a Change of Control”, we may not redeem the exchange notes until January 15, 2007. After that date, we may redeem some or all of the exchange notes at our option at the redemption prices listed under “Description of Exchange Notes — Optional Redemption — General”. |
Optional Redemption after Equity Offerings | We may redeem up to 40% of the exchange notes at any time on or prior to January 15, 2006 with the proceeds of qualified equity offerings. The redemption prices are listed under “Description of Exchange Notes — Optional Redemption”. |
Optional Redemption upon a Change of Control | At any time on or prior to January 15, 2007, we may redeem the exchange notes if we or Finance Inc. experiences a change of control at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. See “Description of Exchange Notes — Optional Redemption — Optional Redemption upon a Change of Control”. |
Optional Redemption for Change in Withholding Taxes | If we become obligated to pay certain additional withholding taxes because of a change in the laws or regulations of Canada or a change in the interpretation thereof after the issue date, we may redeem the exchange notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the date of redemption unless a holder waives our obligation to pay such amounts under its guarantee. |
Change of Control | If Finance Inc. or we experience a change of control, holders of the exchange notes will have the right to require us to purchase their exchange notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. |
Asset Sale Proceeds | Subject to customary exceptions, if we or our subsidiaries sell assets, we generally must either invest the net cash proceeds from those sales in our business within a period of time, prepay debt under our senior credit facility, or make an offer to purchase a principal amount of the private notes and the exchange notes equal to the excess net cash proceeds. The purchase price of the exchange notes in this instance would be 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. |

Table of Contents
Certain Covenants | The indenture governing the notes limits Finance Inc.’s ability and the ability of the guarantors of the notes and the restricted subsidiaries to: |
• | incur additional debt; |
• | pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase capital stock; |
• | limit the issuance and sale of capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; |
• | limit dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries; |
• | make certain investments; |
• | enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; |
• | expand into unrelated businesses; |
• | create liens; and |
• | sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. |
These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions, limitations and qualifications, which are described under “Description of Exchange Notes — Certain Covenants”. |
During any period of time that the exchange notes have investment grade ratings, certain of the covenants will be suspended. See “Description of Exchange Notes — Certain Covenants — Covenant Suspension”. |
Events of Default | The indenture governing the notes defines certain events as “events of default”. These events include: |
• | default for 30 days in payment of interest on the notes; |
• | default in payment of the principal of the notes; |
• | failure to comply with any other covenant in the indenture, continued for 60 days after written notice as provided in the indenture; |
• | default in payment of the principal of any other indebtedness totaling more than $20 million; |
• | the entry of final judgments totaling more than $20 million against us or any of our significant subsidiaries that remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for 60 days; |
• | certain events of bankruptcy affecting us or any of our significant subsidiaries; and |
• | any guarantee of one or more significant subsidiaries ceasing to be in full force and effect. |
For a more detailed discussion of these events of default, see “Description of the Exchange Notes — Events of Default”. |

Table of Contents
Upon an event of default (other than bankruptcy events), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare the principal and accrued interest on all the notes to be due and payable. Also, the holders of majority in principal amount of the notes may waive any existing event of default other than a default in the payment of the principal or interest. |
If we perform our obligations under the notes and comply with other conditions specified in the indenture, we may elect to have our obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes or be released with respect to the relative covenants under the indenture. See “Description of the Exchange Notes — Defeasance”.
Absence of an Established Market for the Notes | We do not intend to apply to have the exchange notes listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for any quotation system to quote them. The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or the NASD, has designated the private notes as securities eligible for trading in the Private Offerings, Resales and Trading through Automated Linkages, or the PORTAL Market, and we have been advised that Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (formerly known as Salomon Smith Barney Inc.), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated have heretofore acted as market makers for the private notes. We have been advised by each of the aforesaid market makers that it currently intends to make a market in the notes. The market makers are not obligated, however, to make a market in the exchange notes, and any such market making may be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the market makers. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that a liquid market will develop for the exchange notes, that you will be able to sell your exchange notes or that the prices you receive when you sell will be favorable. |
Use of Proceeds | We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes. |
Risk Factors | Investing in exchange notes involves substantial risks. You should consider carefully all of the information set forth in this prospectus, and in particular, should evaluate the specific factors set forth under “Risk Factors” before investing in the exchange notes. |

An investment in the exchange notes is subject to numerous risks, including those listed below. You should carefully consider the following risks, along with the information provided elsewhere in this prospectus, before deciding to exchange your private notes for exchange notes pursuant to this exchange offer. These risks could materially affect our ability to meet our obligations under the exchange notes. You could lose all or part of your investment in and expected return on the exchange notes.
Risks Relating to Our Business
Our substantial debt could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations to you under the exchange notes.
We and our consolidated subsidiaries have substantial debt and, as a result, significant debt service obligations. As of September 30, 2003, we had outstanding debt of approximately $923.3 million, including the notes and borrowings under the new senior secured credit facility. Of the total debt, approximately $522.9 million is secured. As of September 30, 2003, approximately $350.0 million of additional debt is available under the revolving portion of the new senior secured credit facility. The new senior secured credit facility and the indenture governing the notes permit us and our subsidiaries to incur or guarantee certain additional secured and unsecured debt, subject to certain limitations. All borrowings under the new senior secured credit facility will be effectively senior (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the borrowings) to the notes and any future guarantees thereof.
Our substantial level of debt and debt service obligations could have important effects on your investment in the notes. These effects may include:
• | making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to you with respect to the notes and our other debt; |
• | limiting our ability to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments, debt service requirements and other general corporate requirements; |
• | increasing our vulnerability to general economic downturns, competition and industry conditions, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged; |
• | increasing our exposure to rising interest rates because a portion of our borrowings is at variable interest rates; |
• | reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments and other general corporate requirements because we will be required to use a substantial portion of our cash flow to service our debt obligations; and |
• | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate. |
If new debt is added to our or our subsidiaries’ current debt levels, the related risks that we and they now face could intensify.
Our ability to pay principal and interest on the notes and to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend upon our future operating performance and the availability of refinancing debt. If we are unable to service our debt and fund our business, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, seek additional debt financing or equity capital, restructure or refinance our debt or sell assets. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain additional financing, refinance existing debt or sell assets on satisfactory terms or at all.
13
Table of Contents
The notes and the new senior secured credit facility contain covenants that limit our flexibility and prevent us from taking certain actions.
The indenture governing the notes and the new senior secured credit facility include a number of significant restrictive covenants. These covenants could adversely affect us by limiting our ability to plan for or react to market conditions or to meet our capital needs. These covenants, among other things, restrict our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:
• | incur additional debt; |
• | pay dividends on our equity interests or repurchase equity interests; |
• | make certain investments; |
• | issue capital stock; |
• | enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; |
• | create liens; |
• | pay dividends or make other payments by our restricted subsidiaries to us; |
• | use assets as security in other transactions; and |
• | sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. |
These covenants may prevent us from integrating our acquired businesses and pursuing acquisitions, significantly limit our operating and financial flexibility and limit our ability to respond to changes in our business or competitive activities. In addition, the new senior secured credit facility includes other and more restrictive covenants and prohibits us from prepaying our other debt, including the notes, while borrowings under our new senior secured credit facility are outstanding. The new senior secured credit facility also requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and meet other financial tests. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in our being required to repay these borrowings before their scheduled due date. If we were unable to make this repayment or otherwise refinance these borrowings, the lenders under the new senior secured credit facility could foreclose on our assets. In addition, these lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed under the new senior secured credit facility, together with accrued interest, to be due and payable, which, in some instances, would be an event of default under the indenture governing the notes. If we were unable to refinance these borrowings on favorable terms, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted by increased costs and less favorable terms, including rates and covenants. Any future refinancing of the new senior secured credit facility is likely to contain similar restrictive covenants and financial tests.
Our financial performance is subject to the risks inherent in business acquisitions, including the risks related to increased borrowing and the integration of businesses.
Our business strategy includes growth through acquisitions. Such acquisitions may require increased borrowing, the issuance of equity securities, including our common shares, assumption of indebtedness or some combinations thereof. If such acquisitions are consummated, there may be certain integration risks. While we anticipate that any such acquisitions will be beneficial, we cannot predict whether any such transactions will be completed, the terms or forms of consideration required in any such transactions, nor whether the acquired businesses will be integrated successfully into our existing operations. Our success is dependent in part upon our ability to integrate effectively acquired operations with our own operations. Accordingly, no assurance can be made that such acquisitions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
14
Table of Contents
While we believe that we have sufficient management and other resources to accomplish the integration of our past and future acquisitions, there can be no assurance in this respect. We may also experience difficulties with retaining customers, suppliers, employees or other relationships critical to the success of our business strategy. We also rely on sellers for transition assistance. In addition, while we are generally entitled to customary indemnification from sellers of businesses for any difficulties that may have arisen prior to our acquisition of each business, the amount and time for claiming under these indemnification provisions is limited. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and make acquisitions on acceptable terms or that we will be able to obtain financing for such acquisitions on acceptable terms. As a result, our financial performance is now and will continue to be subject to various risks associated with the acquisition of businesses, including the financial effects associated with any increased borrowing or dilution required to fund such acquisitions or with the integration of such businesses.
We may be unable to integrate our operations successfully and may not realize the full anticipated benefits of the combination of Moore and Wallace.
Achieving the anticipated benefits of the combination of Moore and Wallace will depend in part upon our ability to integrate the two companies’ businesses in an efficient and effective manner. Our attempt to integrate two companies that have previously operated independently may face significant challenges, and we may be unable to accomplish the integration smoothly or successfully. In particular, the necessity of coordinating geographically dispersed organizations and addressing possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies may increase the difficulties of integration. The integration will require the dedication of significant management resources, which may temporarily distract management’s attention from the day-to-day businesses of the combined company. Employee uncertainty and lack of focus during the integration process may also disrupt the businesses of the combined company. The process of integrating operations after the merger could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of the combined company’s businesses and the loss of key personnel. Any inability of management to integrate the operations of Moore and Wallace successfully could have a material adverse effect on the businesses and financial condition of the combined company.
We have incurred and will continue to incur significant merger-related costs in connection with the merger of Moore and Wallace.
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant merger-related costs associated with combining the operations of Moore and Wallace. The specific size of such costs is difficult to predict. We may incur additional unanticipated costs as a consequence of difficulties arising from our efforts to integrate the operations of the two companies. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, can offset incremental transaction, acquisition-related and restructuring costs over time, we cannot give any assurance that this net benefit will be achieved in the near future, or at all.
The combination of Wallace and Moore may result in a loss of common customers.
We operate in a highly competitive market, and our performance will be affected by our ability to retain the customers of both Moore and Wallace before the merger. Before the merger, Moore and Wallace shared several large customers to which each company provided products and services. Our ability to maintain the current level of sales by Moore and Wallace to these common customers may be limited by the desire of these customers to minimize their dependence on a single supplier. If, following the merger, common customers seek alternative suppliers for at least a portion of the products and services currently provided by Moore and Wallace, the business of our combined company may be materially and adversely impacted.
15
Table of Contents
Customers have low barriers to product and vendor switching.
Our customers typically encounter minimal switching costs and frequently utilize more than one vendor to ensure the most favorable pricing. Due to the transactional nature of the business, customers’ purchasing decisions are almost entirely governed by pricing considerations, with little consideration given to previous historical business. The combined company’s strategies to minimize and reduce customer switching may not be successful. A high rate of customer switching could impair the ability of the combined company to increase the revenues of, or cause a deterioration in the operating margin of, the combined company as a whole.
Moore’s and Wallace’s financial statements reflect substantial net losses, and we cannot assure you that we will be profitable in the future.
Moore reported a net loss of $358.0 million for its fiscal year ended in 2001 and $66.4 million for its fiscal year ended in 2000. Moore’s net loss in fiscal year 2001 primarily reflected a substantial amount of restructuring and other charges. Moore’s net loss in fiscal year 2000 primarily reflected increasing cost of sales as a percentage of revenues and increased depreciation and amortization charges. Wallace reported a net loss of $114.7 million for its fiscal year ended in 2002. Wallace’s net loss for its fiscal year 2002 was attributable to a change in accounting principle and restructuring charges. While Moore was profitable in its fiscal year 2002, we cannot assure you that we will realize net income in the future. If our net losses continue, our ability to raise financing, or to do so on favorable terms, may be limited as those losses are taken into account by investors and credit ratings organizations.
Our initiatives to improve our cost structure may not be successful.
Since early 2001, Moore has been implementing a new business strategy to increase net sales and margins. The continued implementation of our strategy may result in future charges, which may be substantial. Although the strategy is being implemented to improve our cost structure, cost reductions, net sales enhancements and attractive acquisition opportunities may not arise and we may not achieve our strategic goals. In addition, our strategy calls for the sale of non-core assets, which may reduce our revenues and operating profit. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to sell those non-core assets on acceptable terms or at all. A failure to improve our cost structure and implement our strategy could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
A failure to deliver our products and services as required would lead to a loss of revenue and potential penalties.
We operate in markets in which we are entrusted with confidential data. Our customers expect us to protect their data and deliver products and services meeting their highly technical specifications. For example, in our Outsourcing segment, we prepare and supply brokerage and other statements directly to the customers of our customers, who expect each statement to comply with their technical and evolving specifications. In addition, our Outsourcing segment prepares statements containing personal healthcare information for companies that are subject to federal privacy regulations. A failure to meet our customers’ specifications, especially a publicized failure that comes to the attention of other customers and our competitors, or a failure to comply with applicable regulations would lead to a loss of net sales, a decrease in customers and statutory penalties, which could materially adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
We are exposed to significant risks related to potential adverse changes in interest rates, credit worthiness and foreign currency exchange rates.
We face interest rate risks arising from fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings under our credit facilities. We are also exposed to credit risks on accounts receivable balances. For example, if an unexpected number of our customers were to default on their accounts, such an event would have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition and results of operations.
16
Table of Contents
We are exposed to market risks resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, historically mainly the Canadian dollar, the Brazilian real and the Mexican peso. Although operating in local currencies limits the impact of currency rate fluctuations on the operating results of our foreign subsidiaries and business units, fluctuations in such rates affect the translation of these results into our financial statements. To the extent revenues and expenses are not in local currency, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the currency risk. We cannot be sure, however, that our efforts at hedging will be successful. There is always a possibility that our attempts to hedge currency risks will lead us to have even greater losses than predicted.
Our business could be adversely affected by turnover among our account executives or loss of key personnel.
Our ability to achieve our business plan depends to a significant extent on our ability to identify, hire, train and retain qualified sales personnel in each of the regions in which we operate. We expend a significant amount of resources and management time on identifying and training our account executives. Our ability to attract and retain qualified sales personnel depends on numerous factors, including factors outside of our control, such as conditions in the local employment markets in which we operate. A decrease in the number of account executives could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, as well as our ability to service our debt, including payments on the notes.
Furthermore, we depend on the continued services of key personnel, including our experienced senior management team as well as our regional sales management personnel. Although we believe that we could replace our senior management team and other key employees within a reasonable time period should the need arise, the loss of the services of any of our key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition due to disruptions in leadership and continuity of our business relationships.
There are risks associated with our international operations.
We have significant operations in Canada and in other foreign countries. Revenues from Moore’s Canadian operations accounted for approximately 10% of revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Revenues from Moore’s other international operations also accounted for approximately 10% of revenues for the same period. As a result, we are subject to certain risks inherent in conducting business internationally, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly as to our Latin American operations and, in the case of our operations in Venezuela, political instability risks as well. We are also subject to risks associated with the imposition of protective legislation and regulations, including those resulting from trade or foreign policy. In addition, because of our international operations, significant revenues and expenses are denominated in local currencies. Changes in exchange rates may have a significant effect on our cash flow and profitability.

Risks Relating to the RR Donnelley Transaction
The proposed business combination of Moore Wallace and RR Donnelley involves a number of risks, some of which could be substantial and are inherent in RR Donnelley’s and/or our business. You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information in this document, including the information incorporated by reference in this document. There can be no assurances that our transaction with RR Donnelley will be completed on the terms described under “Summary—Recent Developments”.
We may be unable to integrate the operations of RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace successfully and may not achieve the cost savings and increased revenues anticipated for the combined company.
Achieving the anticipated benefits of the RR Donnelley transaction will depend in part upon our ability to integrate the two companies’ businesses in an efficient and effective manner. Our attempt to integrate these two companies that have previously operated independently may result in significant challenges, and we may be unable to accomplish the integration smoothly or successfully. In particular, the necessity of coordinating geographically dispersed organizations and addressing possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies may increase the difficulties of integration. The integration will require the dedication of significant management resources, which may temporarily distract management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of the businesses of the combined company. The process of integrating operations after the transaction could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of the combined company’s businesses and the loss of key personnel. Employee uncertainty and lack of focus during the integration process may also disrupt the businesses of the combined company. Any inability of management to integrate the operations of RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace successfully could have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the combined company.
In addition to integrating the two companies’ businesses, the combined company will need to complete the integration of the Moore Wallace and Wallace businesses following the merger of those two companies in May 2003. The management of the combined company may be presented with significant challenges in being required to integrate the operations of three businesses at one time. There can be no assurance that management of the combined company will be able to integrate the operations of each of the businesses successfully or that the anticipated synergies between our companies will be realized. Moreover, the timing of synergies realized, if any, is uncertain.
Our rationale for the transaction is, in part, predicated on our ability to realize cost savings and to increase revenues through the combination of two strong companies. Achieving these cost savings and revenue increases is dependent upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. We may not be able to achieve the anticipated cross-selling opportunities, the development and marketing of more comprehensive commercial printing product offerings and solutions, cost savings or revenue growth. An inability to realize the full extent of, or any of, the anticipated benefits of the transaction, as well as any delays encountered in the transition process, could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, level of expenses, operating results and financial condition of the combined company.
We will incur significant combination-related and restructuring costs in connection with the transaction.
We expect to incur significant costs associated with combining the operations of Moore Wallace and RR Donnelley. However, it will be difficult to predict the specific size of those charges before we begin the integration process. The combined company may incur additional unanticipated costs as a consequence of difficulties arising from our efforts to integrate the operations of the two companies. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, can offset incremental transaction, combination-related and restructuring costs over time, we cannot give any assurance that this net benefit will be achieved in the near future, or at all.

We may lose employees due to uncertainties associated with the transaction.
The success of the combined Moore Wallace and RR Donnelley after the transaction will depend in part upon our ability to retain key employees of both companies. Competition for qualified personnel can be very intense. In addition, key employees may depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the combined company. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be able to retain key employees to the same extent that we have been able to do so in the past.
The business of the combined company will be subject to risks currently affecting the businesses of RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace.
If the transaction is completed, the business of the combined company will be subject to numerous risks currently affecting the businesses of RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace, including those listed above.
Risks Related to Our Industry
The highly competitive market for our products and industry consolidation will create adverse pricing pressures.
Although we are a diversified printing company, the markets for most of our product categories are highly fragmented, and we have a large number of competitors. Some of these competitors are larger than we are and have greater financial and technical resources. We believe that excess capacity in each of these markets combined with the current economic conditions have caused downward pricing pressure and increased competition. As we described above, our business strategy includes growth through acquisitions. If we are not successful in completing and integrating acquisitions, competitive pressures could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
The substitution of electronic delivery for printed materials may adversely affect our businesses.
Electronic delivery of documents and data, such as customer billings and statements, offers an alternative to traditional delivery of printed documents. Consumer acceptance of electronic delivery is uncertain, and we have no ability to predict the rate of its acceptance as an alternative. To the extent that our customers and the public accept this alternative, certain of our businesses would be adversely affected.
Fluctuations in the price and availability of raw materials could adversely affect our business and our ability to service the notes and other indebtedness.
The primary raw materials that we use are paper and ink. The cost of paper and ink represents a significant portion of cost of sales. Increases in price or a lack of availability of supply of these raw materials could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We use our significant purchasing volume to negotiate long-term supply contracts that give favorable prices, terms, quality and service. While we believe that these long-term contracts will enable us to receive adequate supplies of paper in the event of a tight paper supply, there can be no assurance in this regard.

Risks Relating to the Exchange Notes
Because the exchange notes are our unsecured obligations, your right to receive payment on the exchange notes and the guarantees thereof is effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured indebtedness that we or the guarantors may incur.
The exchange notes will not be secured by any of our or the guarantors’ assets, and as such will be effectively subordinated to any existing or future secured indebtedness that we or the guarantors may incur. Holders of our secured debt and the secured debt of any guarantors will have claims that are prior to your claims as holders of the exchange notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing that other debt. Notably, the new senior secured credit facility will be secured by liens on substantially all of Moore Wallace NA’s assets, Wallace’s assets and the assets of their existing and future U.S. subsidiaries. The exchange notes and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all such secured debt to the extent of the value of its collateral. In the event of any distribution or payment of our or any guarantor’s assets in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or other bankruptcy proceeding, holders of secured debt will have a prior claim to the assets that constitute their collateral. Holders of the exchange notes will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured debt that is deemed to be of the same class as the respective notes, and potentially with all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. In any of the foregoing circumstances, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the exchange notes. As a result, holders of exchange notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of secured debt and less than the full amount you would be otherwise entitled to receive on the exchange notes. As of September 30, 2003, after giving effect to the issuance of the notes, the consummation of the Wallace acquisition and the closing of the new senior secured credit facility, we had approximately $522.9 million of senior secured debt. We may also incur additional senior secured debt in the future, consistent with the terms of the indenture governing the notes and our other debt agreements.
Finance Inc. is dependent on the guarantors for cash to fund its obligations. The exchange notes are not obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries and will be structurally subordinated to the claims of our non-guarantor subsidiaries’ creditors.
The exchange notes will be guaranteed by us and certain of our existing subsidiaries and, as required by the indenture governing the notes, future subsidiaries. Finance Inc. will not have any operations that generate cash flow and will not have any operating subsidiaries. We and each of our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities. Finance Inc. must receive distributions, payments or loans from us and our other subsidiaries to satisfy its obligations on the exchange notes. If such amounts are not timely received by Finance Inc., the guarantors would be obligated under the guarantees to make payments. Payments to Finance Inc. by us and our subsidiaries will be contingent upon our subsidiaries’ earnings and business considerations. In addition, any payment of dividends, distributions, loans or advances by us or our subsidiaries could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions.
Except for the guarantors, our other subsidiaries will have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the exchange notes or to provide funds for our payment obligations, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. Under the terms of the indenture governing the notes, the non-guarantor subsidiaries will have the ability to incur additional debt. The holders of the debt of our non-guarantor subsidiaries would have a claim prior to that of the holders of the exchange notes with respect to the assets of that non-guarantor subsidiary. In addition, even if we were a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our right as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of our subsidiaries and any debt of our subsidiaries senior to that held by us.
Servicing our debt obligations requires a significant amount of cash, and our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.
Our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations will depend, among other things, upon our future operating performance and our ability to refinance debt when necessary. Each of these factors largely depends on
20
Table of Contents
economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. If, in the future, we cannot generate sufficient cash from our operations to meet our debt service obligations, we may need to reduce or delay capital expenditures or curtail anticipated revenue growth and operating improvements. In addition, we may need to refinance our debt, obtain additional financing or sell assets, which we may not be able to do on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations, and we may not be able to obtain funding sufficient to do so. In addition, any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations.
The guarantees may potentially raise fraudulent transfer or fraudulent preference issues, which could impair the enforceability of the guarantees.
The incurrence of the guarantees by the guarantors may be subject to review under U.S. federal bankruptcy law or relevant state fraudulent conveyance laws, applicable Canadian federal or provincial law or applicable fraudulent transfer laws in European jurisdictions if a bankruptcy case or lawsuit is commenced by or on behalf of the guarantors’ unpaid creditors. Under these laws, if a court were to find that, at the time such guarantor incurred a guarantee of the notes, such guarantor
either:
• | incurred the guarantee of the notes with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding current or future creditors; |
or
• | received less than the reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for incurring the guarantee of the exchange notes and such guarantor: |
• | was insolvent, was rendered insolvent or, if in Canada, becomes subject to an insolvency proceeding within one year; |
• | was engaged, or about to engage, in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital to carry on its business; or |
• | intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they matured (as all of the foregoing terms are defined in or interpreted under the relevant fraudulent transfer or conveyance statutes), |
then the court could avoid the guarantee of such guarantor or subordinate the amounts owing under such guarantee to such guarantor’s presently existing or future debt or take other actions detrimental to you. The guarantees of European guarantors are subject to similar limitations.
The measure of insolvency for purposes of the foregoing considerations will vary depending upon the law of the jurisdiction that is being applied in any such proceeding. Generally, a company would be considered insolvent if, at the time it incurred the debt or issued the guarantee:
• | the sum of its debts (including contingent liabilities) is greater than its assets, at fair valuation; |
• | the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay the probable liability on its total existing debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and mature; or |
• | in addition, if in Canada, it fails to meet its obligations as they generally become due. |
If a guarantee is avoided as a fraudulent conveyance or found to be unenforceable for any other reason, you will not have a claim against that guarantor and will only be a creditor of Moore Wallace or any guarantor whose obligation was not set aside or found to be unenforceable.
21
Table of Contents
Canadian bankruptcy and insolvency laws may impair the ability of the trustee under the indenture governing the notes to enforce remedies under the notes.
The rights of the trustee under the indenture governing the notes to enforce remedies could be delayed by the restructuring provisions of applicable Canadian federal bankruptcy, insolvency and other restructuring legislation if the benefit of such legislation is sought with respect to Moore Wallace. For example, both theBankruptcy and Insolvency Act(Canada) and theCompanies’ Creditors Arrangement Act(Canada) contain provisions enabling an insolvent person to obtain a stay of proceedings against its creditors and to file a proposal to be voted on by the various classes of its affected creditors. A restructuring proposal, if accepted by the requisite majorities of each affected class of creditors and approved by the relevant Canadian court, would be binding on all creditors within each affected class, including those creditors that did not vote to accept the proposal. Moreover, this legislation, in certain instances, permits the insolvent debtor to retain possession and administration of its property, subject to court oversight, even though it may be in default under the applicable debt instrument, during the period that the stay against proceedings remains in place.
The powers of the court under theBankruptcy and Insolvency Act(Canada), and particularly under theCompanies’ Creditors Arrangement Act(Canada), have been exercised broadly to protect a restructuring entity from actions taken by creditors and other parties. Accordingly, we cannot predict whether guarantee payments by Moore Wallace under the exchange notes would be made during any proceedings in bankruptcy, insolvency or other restructuring, whether or when the trustee could exercise its rights against Moore Wallace under the indenture governing the notes or whether and to what extent holders of the exchange notes would be compensated for any delays in payment, if any, of principal, interest and costs, including the fees and disbursements of the trustee.
We may not have the ability to raise the funds to purchase the exchange notes upon a change of control as required by the indenture governing the notes.
Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, each holder of the exchange notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of its notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. Our ability to repurchase the exchange notes upon a change of control will be limited by the terms of our other debt. Upon a change of control, we may be required immediately to repay the outstanding principal, any accrued interest and any other amounts owed by us under the new senior secured credit facility. We cannot assure you that we would be able to repay amounts outstanding under the new senior secured credit facility or obtain necessary consents under the new senior secured credit facility to repurchase the exchange notes. Any requirement to offer to purchase any outstanding exchange notes may result in our having to refinance our other outstanding debt, which we may not be able to do. In addition, even if we were able to refinance this debt, the refinancing may not be on terms favorable to us.
There is no established trading market for the exchange notes. We cannot give you any guarantee as to the development or liquidity of any market for the exchange notes, and the price of your exchange notes may be adversely affected.
The exchange notes are new securities for which there is currently no established trading market. The initial purchasers are not obligated to repurchase the exchange notes or to provide markets that would allow the exchange notes to be traded. Although the NASD has designated the private notes as securities eligible for trading in the PORTAL Market, we cannot assure you that an active trading market may develop for the exchange notes. If markets for the exchange notes do not develop, you may not be able to resell your exchange notes for an extended period of time, if at all. Consequently, your lenders may be reluctant to accept the exchange notes as collateral for loans. In addition, in response to prevailing interest rates and market conditions generally, the exchange notes could trade at a price lower than their initial offering price.
Given the risks inherent in an investment in the exchange notes, you may have difficulty finding willing buyers for the exchange notes. Consequently, you may not be able to liquidate your investment readily, and the
22
Table of Contents
exchange notes may not be readily accepted as collateral for loans. Therefore, you should be aware that you may bear the economic risk of an investment in the exchange notes until maturity. Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the exchange notes. We cannot assure you that the market for the exchange notes, if any, will not be subject to similar disruptions. Any such disruptions may adversely affect you as a holder of the exchange notes.
If you wish to tender your private notes for exchange, you must comply with the requirements described in this prospectus.
You will receive exchange notes in exchange for private notes only after the exchange agent receives such private notes, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documentation within the time limits described below. If you wish to tender your private notes in exchange for exchange notes, you should allow sufficient time for delivery. Neither the exchange agent nor Finance Inc. has any duty to give you notice of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of private notes for exchange. Private notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following consummation of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing restrictions upon transfer relating to the private notes.
In addition, if you tender your private notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. Each broker-dealer who holds private notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities and who receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for such private notes pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes.
If you do not exchange your private notes, you may have difficulty in transferring them at a later time.
We will issue exchange notes in exchange for the private notes after the exchange agent receives your private notes, the letter of transmittal and all related documents. You should allow adequate time for delivery if you choose to tender your notes for exchange. Notes that are not exchanged will remain subject to restrictions on transfer and will not have rights to registration.
If you do not participate in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in the distribution of the exchange notes, you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for any resale transaction. Each broker-dealer who holds private notes for its own account due to market-making or other trading activities and who receives exchange notes for its own account must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. If any private notes are not tendered in the exchange or are tendered but not accepted, the trading market for such notes could be negatively affected due to the limited amount of notes expected to remain outstanding following the completion of the exchange offer.

The exchange offer is intended to satisfy certain obligations of Finance Inc. under our registration rights agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes. Because we are exchanging the private notes for the exchange notes, which have substantially identical terms, the issuance of the exchange notes will not result in any increase in our indebtedness. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the private notes, together with borrowings under the new senior secured credit facility, cash and equity to finance the Wallace acquisition and repay existing Moore and Wallace debt and fund fees and expenses related thereto and to the expenses in connection with the offering of the private notes themselves.
We have agreed to pay for the expenses of the exchange offer. In exchange for issuing the exchange notes as contemplated in this offering, we will receive private notes in the same principal amount. The form and terms of the exchange notes are identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the private notes, except as described below under the heading “The Exchange Offer — Terms of the Exchange Offer.” The private notes surrendered in exchange for the exchange notes will be retired and cancelled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, issuance of the exchange notes will not result in any increase in our outstanding debt.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
Two different unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements are provided on the following pages. The first (pages 26 to 35) combines Moore Wallace (formerly, Moore Corporation Limited or Moore) and Wallace, and are presented in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 are based on the historical financial statements of Moore and Wallace after giving effect to the merger as a purchase of Wallace by Moore using the purchase method of accounting. The second (pages 36 to 51) are presented due to the pending business combination between Moore Wallace and RR Donnelley. These unaudited pro forma financials are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and provide the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2003 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2003 based on the historical financial statements of RR Donnelley, Moore Wallace and Wallace after giving effect to (1) the pending acquisition of Moore Wallace by RR Donnelley (and the earlier merger of Moore Wallace and Wallace, effective May 15, 2003) using the purchase method of accounting and (2) the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations of
Moore Corporation Limited and Wallace Computer Services, Inc.
The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 are based on the historical financial statements of Moore Wallace (“MWI”), (formerly, Moore Corporation Limited) (“Moore” or the “Corporation”) and Wallace Computer Services, Inc. (“Wallace” or “WCS”) after giving effect to the merger as a purchase of Wallace by Moore using the purchase method of accounting.
The pro forma information is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions and is being furnished solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results that may occur. It does not reflect cost savings expected to be realized from the elimination of certain expenses and from the synergies to be created or the costs to implement such cost savings or synergies, and income taxes do not reflect the amounts that would have resulted had Moore and Wallace filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented. No assurance can be given that operating cost savings and synergies will be realized.
Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the estimated purchase price, the new debt and equity structure and to adjust amounts related to Wallace’s net tangible and intangible assets to a preliminary estimate of their fair values. Pro forma adjustments are also necessary to reflect the amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets, changes in depreciation and amortization expense resulting from fair value adjustments to net tangible assets, interest expense, and the income tax effect related to the pro forma adjustments.
The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are based on management’s estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The work performed by independent valuation specialists has been considered in management’s estimates of the fair values reflected in these Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations of Moore and Wallace for the year ended December 31, 2002 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 are presented as if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2002. Due to different fiscal period ends, the historical results of
27
Table of Contents
Moore for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the historical results of Wallace for the twelve months ended October 31, 2002 were combined. The historical results of Wallace for the twelve months ended October 31, 2002 were calculated as the historical results for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2002, plus the results of the unaudited results of the three-month period ended October 31, 2002, less the unaudited results of the three-month period ended October 31, 2001.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, which combines the historical results of MWI for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the historical unaudited results of Wallace for the 135-day period prior to the merger of Moore and Wallace (which was completed on May 15, 2003) were calculated by adding the historical unaudited results of Wallace for the three-month period ended April 30, 2003 and one-half of the historical unaudited results for the three-month period ended January 31, 2003. In addition, certain adjustments were required to eliminate the impact of nonrecurring charges or credits included in MWI’s historical September 30, 2003 statements that were directly attributable to the transaction.
An Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet is not presented herein because the combined entity’s balance sheet was reported in MWI’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2003.
Intercompany balances or transactions between Moore and Wallace were not significant. No material pro forma adjustments were required to conform Wallace’s accounting policies to MWI’s accounting policies. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform Wallace’s historical presentation to MWI’s. There were no material adjustments to Wallace’s historical U.S. GAAP statements of operations required to conform them to Canadian GAAP.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in Moore’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and MWI’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2003; MWI’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 15, 2003 and amended July 29, 2003 for Wallace’s fiscal year ended July 31, 2002, and MWI’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 26, 2003 for Wallace’s nine months ended April 30, 2003.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations are not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations of the combined company that would have been reported had the merger been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined company.
MWI expects to incur additional costs for severance and facility charges related to vacating redundant Moore and Wallace facilities, and other costs associated with exiting activities. Certain costs related to Wallace severance and facilities charges will be recorded as an additional cost of the acquisition. Costs related to Moore severance and facility charges were, and will continue to be, recorded in MWI’s statements of operations. Certain of these costs, primarily severance and lease termination costs, will result in future cash payments, the timing of which may exceed one year from the merger date. MWI expects to expend a substantial amount of effort evaluating facilities, finalizing valuations of tangible and intangible assets and determining headcount and equipment rationalizations. Although preliminary plans are currently being formulated, MWI does not expect such estimates and plans to be finalized until the close of MWI’s fiscal year.
Moore’s historical consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, which differs in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements in Moore’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and Note 9 to MWI’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2003 provide a description of the material differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED PRO FORMA
STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS OF MOORE
CORPORATION LIMITED AND WALLACE COMPUTER SERVICES, INC.
On May 15, 2003, the Corporation acquired all the outstanding shares of Wallace in exchange for consideration of $14.40 in cash and 1.05 shares of the Corporation for each outstanding share of Wallace (the “Acquisition”). The aggregate consideration to the Wallace shareholders was $1.1 billion and is comprised of a cash payment of $609.7 million and 44,458,825 common shares of the Corporation with a fair value of $471.7 million. The fair value of the Corporation’s shares is based upon the actual number of shares issued to the Wallace shareholders using the average closing trading price of the Corporation’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) during a five-day trading period beginning two days prior to the announcement of the merger agreement on January 17, 2003. The total purchase price of $1.3 billion also includes $218.2 million for the settlement of Wallace debt and other liabilities, and direct acquisition costs-to-date of $19.9 million.
The transaction was recorded by allocating the cost of the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of the Acquisition. The excess of the cost of the Acquisition over the net of amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.
(a) The historical results of Wallace for the twelve months ended October 31, 2002 were calculated as the historical results for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2002, plus the unaudited results of the three-month period ended October 31, 2002, less the unaudited results of the three-month period ended October 31, 2001. The historical unaudited results of Wallace for the 135-day period prior to the merger of Moore and Wallace (which was completed on May 15, 2003) were calculated by adding the historical unaudited results of Wallace for the three-month period ended April 30, 2003 and one-half of the historical unaudited results for the three-month period ended January 31, 2003.
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform Wallace’s historical amounts to the pro forma combined presentation. There were no material adjustments to Wallace’s historical U.S. GAAP statements of operations required to conform them to Canadian GAAP.
(b) Certain adjustments were required to eliminate the impact of nonrecurring charges or credits included in MWI’s historical September 30, 2003 statements that were directly attributable to the transaction. The pro forma statements of operations for both periods presented exclude the following items, and their related tax effects, which are directly attributable to the transaction and nonrecurring in nature: 1) a $34.8 million charge to cost of sales related to the capitalization at the date of Acquisition of manufacturing profit in inventory required under purchase accounting; 2) a $3.8 million charge to cost of sales related to purchased backlog to be recognized in a period of less than 1 year; 3) a net $4.4 million charge to investment and other income related to marking MWI’s interest rate swaps to market resulting from the extinguishment, upon consummation of the acquisition, of the underlying hedged debt; 4) a $7.5 million charge to debt settlement costs to write-off deferred financing fees related to historical Moore debt being refinanced; and 5) a $4.0 million charge to interest expense related to one-time bridge financing commitment fees.
(c) Represents pro forma adjustments to depreciation and amortization resulting from fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, amortizable intangible assets and system development costs. These adjustments are preliminary and are based on management’s estimates of the fair value. The actual adjustment may differ materially and will be based on final valuations. Of the total estimated purchase price, a preliminary estimate of approximately $64.3 million has been allocated to amortizable intangible assets acquired. Amortizable intangible assets consists of $40.0 million allocated to customer relationships to be amortized over 12 years; $7.5 million allocated to non-compete agreements to be amortized over two years; $13.0 million allocated to patents to be amortized over 8 years; and $3.8 million allocated to backlog to be amortized in less than one year. The customer

relationship intangible asset allocation reflects the nature of the markets within which Wallace operates and the price sensitivity of many of its customers. The markets in which Wallace operates are highly competitive and customers often use numerous vendors to ensure the most favorable pricing. Customers typically encounter minimal switching costs and due to the transactional nature of the business these customers’ purchasing decisions are almost entirely governed by pricing considerations, with little consideration given to previous historical business. These facts, coupled with the fact that the nature of customer contractual relationships in the printing industry typically does not involve purchase minimums or long term binding contracts, are primary reasons why the valuation of customer relationships is not a significant consideration in the evaluation of an acquisition target in the printing industry.
Approximately $92.3 million has been allocated to intangible assets with indefinite lives, consisting primarily of the Wallace trade names. The assumption used in the preliminary valuation is that the Wallace trade name will not be amortized and will have an indefinite remaining useful life based on many factors and considerations, including the length of time that the Wallace names has been in use, the Wallace name awareness, and the assumption of continued use of the Wallace brand as part of the marketing strategy of the combined company. This adjustment is preliminary and is based on management’s estimates and the preliminary work of independent appraisers. The actual adjustment may differ materially and will be based on final valuations.
Amortization related to Wallace’s system development costs were based on the estimated cost to reproduce and an estimated remaining life of seven years. This adjustment is preliminary and is based on management’s estimates and the preliminary work of independent appraisers. The actual adjustment may differ materially and will be based on final valuations.
Pro forma adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 and nine months ended September 30, 2003 were calculated as follows:

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP
The following sets out the material adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to reconcile Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with Note 25 to Moore’s December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements and Note 9 to Moore Wallace’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, which are incorporated by reference herein.
Moore Wallace’s Canadian GAAP accounting is consistent in all material aspects with U.S. GAAP with the following exceptions.
Pensions and Postretirement Benefits
With the adoption of Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 3461, Employee Future Benefits, effective January 1, 2000, there is no longer any difference in the method of accounting for these costs. However, the transitional rules for implementing the new Canadian standard continue to result in U.S. GAAP reporting differences. Under CICA Handbook Section 3461, all past net gains (losses), net assets and prior service costs were recognized as of the date of adoption, whereas, under U.S. GAAP, net gains (losses), net assets and prior service costs which occurred before January 1, 2000 are recognized over the appropriate amortization period.
Income Taxes
The liability method of accounting for income taxes is used for both Canadian and U.S. GAAP. However, under U.S. GAAP, temporary differences are tax effected at enacted rates, whereas under Canadian GAAP, temporary differences are tax effected using substantively enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Stock Compensation
The adoption of CICA Handbook, Section 3870—Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments, reduced most prospective differences in accounting for these costs between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. For both Canadian and U.S. GAAP, Moore Wallace uses the intrinsic value method for accounting for stock options. Prior to CICA Handbook Section 3870, recognition of compensation expense was not required for Moore Wallace’s Series 1 Preference Share options (which we refer to in this document as preference share options), whereas under U.S. GAAP, the expense is measured at the fair value of the Preference Share options, less the amount the employee is required to pay, and is accrued over the vesting period.
In April 2002, the Moore Wallace shareholders approved the amendment of the options to purchase Series 1 Preference Shares (which we refer to in this document as preference shares) to eliminate the cash-out provision and to make them exercisable for one common share per Preference Share option. The exercise price and the number of Preference Share options remained unchanged. This amendment effectively made these options common share equivalents for diluted earnings per share computations. The transition rules for CICA Handbook Section 3870 required that these common share equivalents be considered outstanding as of the beginning of the year, whereas for U.S. GAAP purposes, these Preference Share options were not considered common share equivalents until amended. The difference in the weighted average common shares between Canadian and U.S. GAAP relates solely to the amendment of the Preference Share options.
Additionally, no compensation expense is required to be recognized in the current and future periods under Canadian GAAP pursuant to CICA Handbook Section 3870, whereas under U.S. GAAP, unearned compensation cost will be recognized over the remaining vesting period (through December 11, 2004) based on the intrinsic value of the option on the date of approval.

Table of Contents
Comprehensive Income
U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the change in equity of Moore Wallace from transactions and other events other than those resulting from transactions with owners, and is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income. The components of other comprehensive income for Moore Wallace are unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments, change in fair value of derivatives and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no standard for reporting comprehensive income.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
For U.S. GAAP purposes, Moore Wallace’s interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and changes in their fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no standard requiring the recognition of the fair value of derivatives through comprehensive income.
Foreign Currency Translation
Under U.S. GAAP, foreign currency translation gains or losses are only recognized on the sale or substantial liquidation of a foreign subsidiary. Under Canadian GAAP, a foreign currency gain or loss due to a partial liquidation is recognized in income.
Business Process Reengineering
Under U.S. GAAP, business process reengineering activities are expensed as incurred. Prior to October 28, 1998, Canadian GAAP permitted these costs to be capitalized or expensed. Subsequent to October 28, 1998, Canadian GAAP requires expensing these costs. Prior to October 28, 1998, Moore Wallace capitalized business process reengineering costs and classified them as computer software. In 2002 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the U.S. GAAP reconciling item for computer software relates solely to the amortization differential of the capitalized amounts.
Convertible Debentures
The debt issue costs disclosed on the U.S. GAAP reconciliation represents the change in the fair value of contingent consideration granted in connection with the December 2001 induced conversion of the subordinated convertible debentures. The contingent consideration is the right granted with the inducement shares for the holder to potentially receive additional consideration in the future based on the 20-day weighted average Moore Wallace share price at December 31, 2003 and 2002. For Canadian GAAP purposes, to the extent that any stock or cash is paid, it will be recorded as a charge to retained earnings. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the fair value of this contingent consideration is recognized in earnings and recorded at fair market value in subsequent reporting periods. The fair value of the consideration was based upon an independent third party valuation using an option pricing valuation model that includes, but is not limited to, the following factors: Moore Wallace’s share price volatility; cost of borrowings; and certain equity valuation multiples.

Combined Financial Information of RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2003 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002 are based on the historical financial statements of RR Donnelley, Moore Wallace and Wallace after giving effect to (1) the transaction as a purchase of Moore Wallace by RR Donnelley (and the earlier merger of Moore Wallace and Wallace, effective May 15, 2003) using the purchase method of accounting and (2) the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The pro forma information is preliminary, is being furnished solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company. The pro forma information is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to such information. It does not reflect cost savings expected to be realized from the elimination of certain expenses and from synergies expected to be created or the costs to achieve such cost savings or synergies. Income taxes do not reflect the amounts that would have resulted had RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented. No assurance can be given that cost savings and synergies will be realized.
Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the estimated purchase price and the new equity structure and to adjust Moore Wallace’s net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities to preliminary estimated fair values. Pro forma adjustments are also necessary to reflect the amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets, changes in depreciation and amortization expense resulting from fair value adjustments to net tangible assets, interest expense and the income tax effects related to the pro forma adjustments.
The pro forma adjustments and allocation of purchase price are preliminary and are based on RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace managements’ estimates of the fair value of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. The preliminary work performed by independent valuation specialists has been considered in our managements’ estimates of the fair values reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The final purchase price allocation will be completed after asset and liability valuations are finalized. A final determination of these fair values, which cannot be made prior to the completion of the transaction, will include managements’ consideration of a final valuation prepared by the independent valuation specialists. This final valuation will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of Moore Wallace that exist as of the effective date. Any final adjustments may change the allocation of purchase price, which could affect the fair value assigned to the assets and liabilities and could result in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented in this document. Amounts preliminarily allocated to intangible assets with indefinite and definite lives may change significantly, which could result in a material increase or decrease in amortization of intangible assets. Estimates related to the determination of the lives of the assets acquired may also change, which could result in a material increase or decrease in depreciation or amortization expense. In addition, the impact of ongoing integration activities relating to Moore Wallace’s merger with Wallace, the timing of the completion of the transaction and other changes in Moore Wallace’s net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities prior to completion of the transaction could cause material differences in the information presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as if the transaction had been completed on September 30, 2003 and combines the historical unaudited balance sheet of RR Donnelley at September 30, 2003 and the historical unaudited balance sheet of Moore Wallace at September 30, 2003.

Table of Contents
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are presented as if the transaction had been completed on January 1, 2002. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 combines the historical results of RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace for the year ended December 31, 2002 and, due to a different fiscal year end, the historical results of Wallace for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2002. The historical results of Wallace for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2002 were calculated as the historical results of Wallace for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2002, plus the unaudited results of the three-month period ended October 31, 2002, less the unaudited results of the three-month period ended October 31, 2001.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 combines the historical results of RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as well as the historical unaudited results of Wallace for the 135-day period prior to the merger of Moore Wallace with Wallace (which was completed on May 15, 2003), calculated by adding the historical unaudited results of Wallace for the three-month period ended April 30, 2003 and one-half of the historical unaudited results of Wallace for the three-month period ended January 31, 2003.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in RR Donnelley’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2003; Moore Wallace’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2003; and Moore Wallace’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 15, 2003 and amended July 29, 2003 for Wallace’s fiscal year ended July 31, 2002; and Moore Wallace’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 26, 2003 for Wallace’s nine months ended April 30, 2003.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined company that would have been reported had the transaction been completed as of the dates presented and should not be considered as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined company.
Based on a preliminary analysis, RR Donnelley expects to incur, upon completion of the transaction or in subsequent quarters, costs for severance and facility charges related to vacating redundant RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace facilities and other costs associated with exiting activities. Costs related to Moore Wallace severance and certain facility charges will be recorded as an additional cost of the acquisition. Costs related to RR Donnelley severance and facility charges will be recorded in future combined statements of operations. Some of these costs, primarily severance and lease termination costs, will result in future cash payments, the timing of which may exceed one year from the effective date. No adjustment has been made to the pro forma information presented in this document to reflect these potential actions, as the costs of employee terminations, facility exit costs, the final valuation of tangible and intangible assets and related liabilities are not currently determinable. RR Donnelley expects to expend a substantial amount of effort evaluating facilities, finalizing valuations of tangible and intangible assets and determining appropriate employment levels. Although preliminary plans are currently being formulated, RR Donnelley does not expect such estimates and plans to be finalized until sometime close to or subsequent to the completion of the transaction. If and when the costs of such plans become estimable, the preliminary amount and allocation of consideration will be adjusted and appropriate pro forma adjustments will be recorded to the pro forma condensed combined financial statements to reflect the estimated costs of such actions.
RR Donnelley is in the process of identifying pre-transaction contingencies, if any, where the related asset, liability or impairment is probable and the amount of the asset, liability or impairment can be reasonably estimated. Upon completion of the transaction and prior to the end of the purchase price allocation period, if information becomes available that would indicate it is probable that such events have occurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, such items will be included in the final purchase price allocation.

As part of the transaction, it is anticipated that a significant portion of the combined company’s debt will be refinanced. Although such refinancing is anticipated, there is no guarantee that any or all of the combined debt can be refinanced at interest rates acceptable to the combined company. There is currently no commitment from lenders to refinance the debt and, accordingly, the pro forma financial statements do not reflect the impact of refinancing the existing debt.
The income tax rate applied to the pro forma adjustments is 39.5%, the expected statutory rate. All other tax amounts are stated at their historical amounts.
Moore Wallace’s historical consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, which differs in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements in Moore Wallace’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 provides a description of the material differences and a reconciliation between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. For the purposes of presenting the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, financial information relating to Moore Wallace has been adjusted to conform to U.S. GAAP.
Intercompany balances or transactions between the combining companies were not significant for any of the periods presented. No material pro forma adjustments were required to conform Moore Wallace’s accounting policies to RR Donnelley’s accounting policies. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the RR Donnelley, Moore Wallace and Wallace historical amounts to the pro forma presentation in addition to those required to conform the historical amounts of Moore Wallace to U.S. GAAP.

Adjustment to goodwill | $ | 1,522,390 | ||
(1) Represents the value of the approximately 99.6 million shares of RR Donnelley common and restricted stock to be issued to holders of Moore Wallace common and restricted shares at an assumed price of $27.48 per share, which is calculated using the average of the closing share price on the New York Stock Exchange during the five-day trading period beginning two trading days before the date of announcement of the transaction on November 9, 2003. This amount is a preliminary estimate, and the actual value of shares of RR Donnelley common and restricted stock received by holders of Moore Wallace common and restricted shares could materially differ since it will be based on the number of Moore Wallace common shares outstanding on the effective date which could be affected by stock option exercises and the issuance of shares to consummate the pending acquisition of PPS.
(2) Represents the fair value of approximately 2.6 million RR Donnelley stock options issued in exchange for existing Moore Wallace stock options in connection with the transaction. This amount is a preliminary estimate, as is the intrinsic value of Moore Wallace stock options allocated to unearned compensation, both of which could materially differ based upon the number of options and awards outstanding and the associated exercise prices, as well as the market value of shares of RR Donnelley common stock, on the effective date.
(3) Represents estimated direct transaction costs incurred by RR Donnelley, including financial advisory, legal, accounting and other costs.
(e) Represents adjustments to reflect the elimination of the historical equity of Moore Wallace totaling $835.3 million; the issuance of $2,767.4 million of new RR Donnelley equity less $0.3 million of fees related to the equity issuance (see note c) and less $18.4 million related to unearned compensation for the exchange of Moore Wallace unvested options and restricted shares for RR Donnelley unvested options and restricted stock as well as the issuance of unvested RR Donnelley restricted stock units; a $4.0 million non-recurring charge directly attributable to the funding of a Moore Wallace supplemental executive retirement plan required as a result of the transaction; and approximately $10.0 million related to advisory fees paid by Moore Wallace.
(f) Represents the estimated purchase accounting adjustment of $101.5 million to capitalize manufacturing profit in inventory. This amount was estimated as part of the initial assessment of the fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. This adjustment is preliminary and is based on RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace managements’ estimates and the preliminary work of independent valuation specialists. The actual adjustment may differ materially and will be based on final valuations.
42
Table of Contents
(g) The current deferred tax liability reflects the estimated impact on the purchase allocation adjustment for inventories (see note f). The non-current deferred tax liability reflects the estimated impact on the purchase allocation adjustments other than that for inventory. These estimates are based on the statutory tax rate of 39.5%.
(h) Reflects the estimated adjustments of $210.7 million required to record Moore Wallace’s property, plant and equipment at its fair value based on a depreciated replacement value. Real property is recorded at book value and will subsequently be adjusted to its fair value upon the completion of appraisals currently in process. This adjustment is preliminary and is based on our managements’ estimates and the preliminary work of independent valuation specialists. The actual adjustment may differ materially and will be based on final valuations.
(i) The pro forma amount of $721 million for other intangibles represents an increase of $478.5 million as a result of increasing the historical book value to a preliminary estimate of fair value. Of this $721 million, amortizable intangible assets consist of $199.1 million allocated to customer relationships to be amortized over 15 years; $17.6 million allocated to non-compete agreements to be amortized over two years; $98.0 million allocated to patents to be amortized over eight years; and $8.7 million allocated to backlog to be amortized over one year. This adjustment is preliminary and is based on RR Donnelley and Moore Wallace managements’ estimates and the preliminary work of independent valuation specialists. The actual adjustment may differ materially and will be based on final valuations. The customer relationship intangible asset allocation reflects the nature of the markets within which Moore Wallace operates and the price sensitivity of many of its customers. The markets in which Moore Wallace operates are highly competitive, and customers often use multiple vendors to ensure the most favorable pricing. Customers typically encounter minimal switching costs and, due to the transactional nature of the business, these customers’ purchasing decisions are almost entirely governed by pricing considerations, with little consideration given to previous historical business. These facts, coupled with the fact that the nature of Moore Wallace customer contractual relationships typically does not involve purchase minimums or long-term binding contracts, are primary reasons why the valuation of customer relationships is not more significant.
Approximately $310.9 million has been preliminarily allocated to intangible assets with indefinite lives, consisting primarily of the various trade names under which Moore Wallace does business. The assumption used in the preliminary valuation is that the identified trade names will not be amortized and will have indefinite remaining useful lives based on many factors and considerations, including name awareness and the assumption of continued use of the Moore Wallace and related brands as part of the marketing strategy of the combined company. These assumptions and adjustments are preliminary and are based on our managements’ estimates and the preliminary work of independent valuation specialists. The actual adjustment may differ materially and will be based on final valuations.
(j) Reflects the estimated adjustments of ($40.2) million required to record Moore Wallace’s system development costs at fair value based on the estimated cost to reproduce and an estimated remaining life of five years. This adjustment is preliminary and is based on our managements’ estimates and the preliminary work of independent valuation specialists. The actual adjustment may differ materially and will be based on final valuations. Also reflects the adjustment of ($31.0) million required to record Moore Wallace deferred financing fees at fair value.
(k) Represents the adjustment necessary to record the Moore Wallace $403 million Senior Notes at estimated fair value. The adjustment includes an estimated credit-adjusted trading premium at September 30, 2003 of $48.4 million. The resulting effective interest rate on the Moore Wallace Senior Notes is approximately 5.87%. The amount ultimately allocated to the fair value of the Moore Wallace Senior Notes may differ materially from this preliminary valuation.
(l) Represents adjustments of $19.8 million and $14.7 million, net of cash paid, necessary to record the prepaid pension cost and pension liability, respectively, of Moore Wallace at estimated fair value. The adjustments incorporate the elimination of previously deferred gains and losses, the fair value of the projected
43
Table of Contents
benefit obligations discounted at market rates in effect at September 30, 2003 and the market value of plan assets at September 30, 2003 for the funded plans. The amount ultimately allocated to the fair value of the prepaid pension cost and pension liability may differ materially from this preliminary valuation.
Additionally, an estimated $19.1 million is required to be funded into a trust upon completion of the transaction pursuant to certain Moore Wallace Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans, of which approximately $4.0 million would result in a non-recurring charge to earnings of Moore Wallace. The amount that will be funded upon completion of the transaction will be based on the accumulated deferred compensation and accrued interest upon completion of the transaction and may differ significantly from these estimates.
Represents the adjustments to current income taxes payable of $7.5 million for the funding of the Moore Wallace Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.
(m) Represents the adjustment of $59.9 million necessary to record the postretirement liability of Moore Wallace at estimated fair value. The adjustment incorporates the elimination of previously deferred gains and losses and the fair value of the projected benefit obligations discounted at market rates in effect at September 30, 2003. The amount ultimately allocated to the fair value of the postretirement liability may differ materially from this preliminary valuation.
(n) Represents a preliminary estimate of $4.6 million for the amount required to be funded pursuant to the Moore Wallace director deferred compensation plan change in control provisions.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations
(a) Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of RR Donnelley, Moore Wallace and Wallace financial information in order to conform to the pro forma condensed combined presentation.
(b) Historical results of Moore Wallace are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP and have been adjusted to conform with RR Donnelley’s presentation under U.S. GAAP. The differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP that are material to Moore Wallace’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are described in the section entitled “Differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP.”
(c) The historical results of Wallace for the 12 months ended October 31, 2002 were calculated as the historical results for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2002 plus the results of the three-month period ended October 31, 2002 less the results of the three-month period ended October 31, 2001. The historical results of Wallace for the 135 days prior to Moore Wallace’s merger with Wallace were calculated using the unaudited historical results for the quarter ended April 30, 2003 plus one-half of the historical unaudited results for the quarter ended January 31, 2003.
(d) Represents pro forma adjustments required to eliminate amortization of actuarial deferred gains and losses resulting from the fair valuation of the prepaid pension costs, pension liability and postretirement liability of $20.7 million ($12.4 million in cost of sales and $8.3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses) for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $15.9 million ($9.5 million in cost of sales and $6.4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
(e) The pro forma statements of operations do not reflect the following: an estimated $101.5 million non-recurring charge to cost of sales that will be incurred as the capitalized manufacturing profit added to inventory under purchase accounting is recorded as those inventories are sold following the close of the transaction; the recognition of an $8.7 million charge to intangible assets attributable to backlog for amortization within the year following the completion of the transaction; a $4.0 million non-recurring charge associated with the funding of a Moore Wallace supplemental executive retirement plan; and a charge of approximately $10.0 million related to advisory fees paid by Moore Wallace. These charges are directly attributable to the transaction, are non-recurring in nature and are not expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined company.
(f) Represents a pro forma adjustment to reflect incremental depreciation and amortization resulting from fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, amortizable intangible assets and system development costs as illustrated below. The amount of this adjustment and the assumptions regarding useful lives are preliminary and based on our managements’ estimates and the preliminary work of independent valuation specialists as they relate to the underlying fair values and useful lives. The actual adjustment may differ materially and will be based on final valuations.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP
The following describes the material adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to reconcile Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with Note 25 to Moore Wallace’s December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements which are included in or incorporated by reference into this document.
Moore Wallace’s Canadian GAAP accounting is consistent in all material aspects with U.S. GAAP with the following exceptions.
Pensions and Postretirement Benefits
With the adoption of Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 3461, Employee Future Benefits, effective January 1, 2000, there is no longer any difference in the method of accounting for these costs. However, the transitional rules for implementing the new Canadian standard continue to result in U.S. GAAP reporting differences. Under CICA Handbook Section 3461, all past net gains (losses), net assets and prior service costs were recognized as of the date of adoption. In contrast, under U.S. GAAP, net gains (losses), net assets and prior service costs that occurred before January 1, 2000 are recognized over the appropriate amortization period.
Income Taxes
The liability method of accounting for income taxes is used for both Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. However, under U.S. GAAP, temporary differences are tax effected at enacted rates, whereas under Canadian GAAP, temporary differences are tax effected using substantively enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Stock Compensation
The adoption of CICA Handbook, Section 3870—Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments reduced most prospective differences in accounting for these costs between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. For both Canadian and U.S. GAAP, Moore Wallace uses the intrinsic value method for accounting for stock options. Prior to CICA Handbook Section 3870, recognition of compensation expense was not required for Moore Wallace’s Series 1 Preference Share options (which we refer to in this document as preference share options), whereas under U.S. GAAP, the expense is measured at the fair value of the preference share options, less the amount the employee is required to pay, and is accrued over the vesting period.
In April 2002, the Moore Wallace shareholders approved the amendment of the options to purchase Series 1 Preference Shares (which we refer to in this document as preference shares) to eliminate the cash-out provision and to make them exercisable for one common share per preference share option. The exercise price and the number of preference share options remained unchanged. This amendment effectively made these options common share equivalents for diluted earnings per share computations. The transition rules for CICA Handbook Section 3870 required that these common share equivalents be considered outstanding as of the beginning of the year, whereas for U.S. GAAP purposes, these preference share options were not considered common share equivalents until amended. The difference in the weighted average common shares between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP relates solely to the amendment of the preference share options.
Additionally, no compensation expense is required to be recognized in the current and future periods under Canadian GAAP pursuant to CICA Handbook Section 3870, whereas under U.S. GAAP, unearned compensation cost will be recognized over the remaining vesting period (through December 11, 2004) based on the intrinsic value of the option on the date of approval.

Table of Contents
Comprehensive Income
U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the change in equity of Moore Wallace from transactions and other events other than those resulting from transactions with owners and is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income. The components of other comprehensive income for Moore Wallace are unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments, the change in fair value of derivatives and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no standard for reporting comprehensive income.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
For U.S. GAAP purposes, Moore Wallace’s interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, and changes in their fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no standard requiring the recognition of the fair value of derivatives through comprehensive income.
Foreign Currency Translation
Under U.S. GAAP, foreign currency translation gains or losses are only recognized on the sale or substantial liquidation of a foreign subsidiary. Under Canadian GAAP, a foreign currency gain or loss due to a partial liquidation is recognized in income.
Business Process Reengineering
Under U.S. GAAP, business process reengineering costs are expensed as incurred. Prior to October 28, 1998, Canadian GAAP permitted these costs to be capitalized or expensed. Subsequent to October 28, 1998, Canadian GAAP requires expensing these costs. Prior to October 28, 1998, Moore Wallace capitalized business process reengineering costs and classified them as computer software. In 2002, the U.S. GAAP reconciling item for computer software relates solely to the amortization differential of the capitalized amounts.
Convertible Debentures
The debt issue costs disclosed on the U.S. GAAP reconciliation represents the change in the fair value of contingent consideration granted in connection with the December 2001 induced conversion of the Moore Wallace subordinated convertible debenture. The contingent consideration is the right granted with the inducement shares for the holder to potentially receive additional consideration in the future based on the 20-day weighted average Moore Wallace share price at December 31, 2003 and 2002. For Canadian GAAP purposes, to the extent that any stock or cash is paid, it will be recorded as a charge to retained earnings. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the fair value of this contingent consideration is recognized in earnings and recorded at fair market value in subsequent reporting periods. The fair value of the consideration was based upon an independent third-party valuation using an option pricing valuation model that includes Moore Wallace’s share price volatility, cost of borrowings and certain equity valuation multiples.

Purpose of the Exchange Offer
We sold the private notes on March 14, 2003, to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (formerly known as Salomon Smith Barney Inc.), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as initial purchasers in a private offering pursuant to a purchase agreement. These initial purchasers subsequently sold the private notes to:
• | “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”), as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, in reliance on Rule 144A; and |
• | persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. |
As a condition to the initial sale of the private notes, we and the initial purchasers entered into a registration rights agreement on March 14, 2003. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we agreed to:
• | file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the exchange notes no later than 210 days after March 14, 2003; |
• | use our reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 270 days after March 14, 2003; |
• | conduct the exchange offer after the registration statement is declared effective and keep the exchange offer open for no less than 30 days (or longer if required by applicable law); and |
• | use our reasonable best efforts to cause the exchange offer to be consummated not later than 300 days after March 14, 2003. |
The registration rights agreement provides, among other things, that if we default in our obligations to take required actions to make the exchange offer within the required time periods described above, the interest rate on the private notes will be increased by up to a maximum additional annual interest rate of 1.0% until the default is remedied.
We agreed to issue and exchange the exchange notes for all private notes properly surrendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of the exchange offer. The summary in this document of the registration rights agreement is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, all the provisions of the registration rights agreement.We urge you to read the entire registration rights agreement carefully.A copy of the registration rights agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement which includes this prospectus. The registration statement is intended to satisfy some of our obligations under the registration rights agreement and the purchase agreement.
Terms of the Exchange Offer
Based on the terms and conditions in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will issue $1,000 principal amount of exchange notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding private notes properly surrendered pursuant to the exchange offer and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date. Private notes may be surrendered only in integral multiples of $1,000. The form and terms of the exchange notes are the same as the form and terms of the private notes except that:
• | the exchange notes will have a different CUSIP number from the private notes; |
• | the exchange notes will be registered for the exchange offer under the Securities Act and, therefore, the exchange notes will not bear legends restricting the transfer of the exchange notes; and |
• | holders of the exchange notes will not be entitled to any of the registration rights of holders of private notes under the registration rights agreement, which will terminate upon the consummation of the exchange offer. |
53
Table of Contents
The exchange notes will evidence the same indebtedness as the private notes, which they replace, and will be issued under, and be entitled to the benefits of, the same indenture, that authorized the issuance of the private notes. As a result, both series of notes will be treated as a single class of debt securities under the indenture.
As of the date of this prospectus, $403,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the private notes is outstanding. All of it is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). Solely for reasons of administration, we have fixed the close of business on December 22, 2003 as the record date for the exchange offer for purposes of determining the persons to whom this prospectus and the letter of transmittal will be mailed initially. There will be no fixed record date for determining holders of the private notes entitled to participate in this exchange offer.
In connection with the exchange offer, neither the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware nor the indenture governing the notes gives you any appraisal or dissenters’ rights nor any other right to seek monetary damages in court. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the related SEC rules and regulations.
For all relevant purposes, we will be regarded as having accepted properly surrendered private notes if and when we give oral or written notice of our acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the surrendering holders of private notes for the purposes of receiving the exchange notes from us.
If you surrender private notes in the exchange offer, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees. In addition, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, you will not have to pay transfer taxes for the exchange of private notes. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described under “— Fees and Expenses” below.
By executing or otherwise becoming bound by the letter of transmittal, you will be making the representations described under “— Representations on Tendering Private Notes” below.
Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments
The “expiration date” is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 22, 2004, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer for up to 20 business days, in which case the expiration date is the latest date and time to which we extend the exchange offer.
In order to extend the exchange offer, we will:
• | notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or written notice; and |
• | issue a press release or other public announcement which will include disclosure of the approximate number of private notes deposited; such press release or announcement would be issued prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. |
We expressly reserve the right:
• | to delay accepting any private notes; |
• | to extend the exchange offer; or |
• | if, in the opinion of our counsel, the consummation of the exchange offer would violate any law or interpretation of the staff of the SEC, to terminate or amend the exchange offer by giving oral or written notice to the exchange agent. |
Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as soon as practicable by a press release or other public announcement. If the exchange offer is amended in a manner determined by us to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose that amendment by means of a prospectus supplement
54
Table of Contents
that will be distributed to the holders. We will also extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during the five to ten business days period.
We will have no obligation to publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate any public announcement of any delay, extension, amendment or termination that we may choose to make, other than by making a timely release to an appropriate news agency.
Interest on the Exchange Notes
The exchange notes will accrue interest on the same terms as the private notes, i.e., at the rate of 7 7/8% per year from the date interest was most recently paid, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing July 15, 2003.
Resale of the Exchange Notes
We believe that you will be allowed to resell the exchange notes to the public without registration under the Securities Act, and without delivering a prospectus that satisfies the requirements of the Securities Act, if you can make the three representations set forth above under “Summary — Summary of the Exchange Offer — Procedures for Participating in the Exchange Offer.” However, if you intend to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes, you must comply with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and deliver a prospectus, unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. In addition, you cannot be an “affiliate” of Finance Inc. as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or a broker-dealer tendering the private notes acquired directly from Finance Inc. for its own account. You are required to represent to us in the letter of transmittal accompanying this prospectus that you meet these conditions exempting you from the registration requirements.
We base our view on interpretations by the staff of the SEC in no-action letters issued to other issuers in exchange offers like ours. We have not, however, asked the SEC to consider this particular exchange offer in the context of a no-action letter. Therefore, you cannot be sure that the SEC will treat this exchange offer in the same way as it has treated others in the past. If our belief is wrong, or if you cannot truthfully make the representations described above, and you transfer any exchange note issued to you in the exchange offer without meeting the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, or without an exemption from such requirements, you could incur liability under the Securities Act. We are not indemnifying you for any such liability and we will not protect you against any loss incurred as a result of any such liability under the Securities Act.
A broker-dealer that has bought private notes for market-making or other trading activities has to deliver a prospectus in order to resell any exchange notes it has received for its own account in the exchange. This prospectus may be used by a broker-dealer to resell any of its exchange notes. In addition, a broker-dealer which has acquired the private notes for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities may participate in the exchange offer if it has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with Finance Inc. or an affiliate of Finance Inc. to distribute the exchange notes. We have agreed in the registration rights agreement to make this prospectus, and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus, available to any broker-dealer that requests copies in the letter of transmittal for a period of up to 180 days after the registration statement relating to this exchange offer is declared effective. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information regarding broker-dealers.
Procedures for Tendering
If you wish to surrender private notes you must do the following:
• | properly complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal (or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal); |
• | have the signatures on the letter of transmittal (or facsimile) guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal; and |
55
Table of Contents
• | mail or deliver the letter of transmittal (or facsimile) together with your private notes and any other required documents to the exchange agent at the address appearing below under “— Exchange Agent” for receipt prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. |
In addition, either:
• | certificates for such private notes must be received by the exchange agent along with the letter of transmittal; |
• | a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of the private notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below under “— Book-Entry Transfer,” must be received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date; or |
• | you must comply with the procedures described below under “— Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.” |
In order for the tender to be effective, the exchange agent must receive the private notes, a completed letter of transmittal and all other required documents before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.
The method of delivery of private notes and the letter of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at your election and risk, and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received or confirmed by the exchange agent.
As an alternative to delivery by mail, you may wish to consider overnight or hand delivery service, property insured.In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date.Do not send the letter of transmittal or any private notes to us. You may ask your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or nominee to perform these transactions for you.
If you do not withdraw your surrender of private notes prior to the expiration date, you will be regarded as agreeing to surrender the exchange notes in accordance with the terms and conditions in this exchange offer.
If you are a beneficial owner of the private notes and your private notes are held through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you want to surrender your private notes, you should contact your intermediary promptly and instruct it to surrender the private notes on your behalf. If you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, before completing and executing the letter of transmittal for the exchange offer and delivering your private notes, either arrange to have your private notes registered in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take a long time.
By tendering, you will make the representations described below under “— Representations on Tendering Private Notes.” In addition, each participating broker-dealer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”
Your tender and our acceptance of the tender will constitute the agreement between you and us set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.
Signature on Letter of Transmittal
Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal described below under “— Withdrawal of Tenders,” as the case may be, must generally be guaranteed by an eligible institution. You can submit the letter of transmittal without guarantee if you surrender your private notes (i) as a registered holder and you have not completed the box titled “Special Delivery Instruction” on the letter of transmittal or (ii) for the account of an eligible institution. In the event that signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal are required to be guaranteed, the guarantee must be made by:
• | a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the NASD; |
• | a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States; or |
56
Table of Contents
• | an “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act which is a member of one of the recognized signature guarantee programs identified in the letter of transmittal. |
If you sign the letter of transmittal even though you are not the registered holder of any private notes listed in the letter of transmittal, your private notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The bond power must authorize you to tender the private notes on behalf of the registered holder and must be signed by the registered holder as the registered holder’s name appears on the private notes.
In connection with any surrender of private notes in definitive certificated form, if you sign the letter of transmittal or any private notes or bond powers in your capacity as trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact or officer of a corporation or if you are otherwise acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, you should indicate this when signing. Unless waived by us, you must submit with the letter of transmittal evidence satisfactory to us of your authority to act in the particular capacity.
Acceptance of Tendered Private Notes
All questions as to the validity, form, acceptance, withdrawal and eligibility, including time of receipt of surrendered private notes, will be determined by us in our sole discretion, which will be final and binding.
We reserve the absolute right:
• | to reject any and all private notes not properly surrendered; |
• | to reject any private notes if our acceptance of them would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful; and |
• | to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of surrender as to particular private notes. |
Unless waived, you must cure any defects or irregularities in connection with surrenders of private notes within the time period we will determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities in connection with surrenders of private notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor anyone else will be liable for failure to give such notice. Surrenders of private notes will not be deemed to have been made until any defects or irregularities have been cured or waived.
We do not currently intend to acquire any private notes that are not surrendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any private notes that are not surrendered pursuant to the exchange offer. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to purchase or make offers for any private notes that remain outstanding after the expiration date. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we also reserve the right in our sole discretion to purchase private notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The terms of any future purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the exchange offer.
Representations on Tendering Private Notes
By surrendering private notes pursuant to the exchange offer, you will be telling us that, among other things,
• | you have full power and authority to surrender, sell, assign and transfer the private notes tendered; |
• | you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business; |
• | you are not an “affiliate”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of Finance Inc., or a broker-dealer tendering the private notes acquired directly from Finance Inc. for its own account; |
• | you are not participating, do not intend to participate and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the exchange notes; |
57
Table of Contents
• | you acknowledge and agree that if you are a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act or you are participating in the exchange offer for the purposes of distributing the exchange notes, you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale of the exchange notes, and you cannot rely on the position of the SEC staff in their no-action letters; |
• | you understand that a secondary resale transaction described above and any resales of exchange notes obtained by you in exchange for private notes acquired by you directly from us should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or Item 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K of the SEC; and |
• | we will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to the private notes being tendered, free and clear of all security interests, liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sale agreements or other obligations relating to their sale or transfer, and not subject to any adverse claim when the private notes are accepted by us. |
If you are a broker-dealer and you will receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for private notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes.
Return of Private Notes
If any surrendered private notes are not accepted for any reason described here or if private notes are withdrawn or are submitted for a greater principal amount than you desire to exchange, those private notes will be returned, at our cost, to (i) the person who surrendered them or (ii) in the case of private notes surrendered by book-entry transfer, the exchange agent’s account at DTC. Any such private notes will be returned to the surrendering person or credited to an account maintained with DTC promptly.
Book-Entry Transfer
The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the private notes at DTC for purposes of facilitating the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus. Subject to the establishment of the account, any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s systems may make book-entry delivery of private notes by causing DTC to transfer the private notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures for transfer. However, although delivery of private notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC, you must transmit the letter of transmittal with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents to the exchange agent at the address appearing below under “— Exchange Agent” for its receipt on or prior to the expiration date or pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
If you wish to surrender your private notes and (i) your private notes are not readily available so you cannot meet the expiration date deadline or (ii) you cannot deliver your private notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, you may still participate in the exchange offer if:
• | the surrender is made through an eligible institution; |
• | prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such eligible institution a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery substantially in the form provided by us, by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery, containing: |
the name and address of the holder, the certificate number(s) of the private notes, if applicable, and the principal amount of private notes surrendered;
58
Table of Contents
a statement that the surrender is being made thereby;
a guarantee that, within five New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) trading days after the expiration date, the letter of transmittal, together with the certificate(s) representing the private notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation, and any other required documents, will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and
the properly executed letter of transmittal, as well as the certificate(s) representing all surrendered private notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal are received by the exchange agent within five NYSE trading days after the expiration date.
The exchange agent will send you a notice of guaranteed delivery upon your request if you wish to surrender your private notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth above.
Withdrawal of Tenders
Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your surrender of private notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.
To withdraw a surrender of private notes in the exchange offer, the exchange agent must receive a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal at its address set forth below under “— Exchange Agent” prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Any notice of withdrawal must:
• | specify the name of the person having deposited the private notes to be withdrawn; |
• | identify the private notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate number or numbers, if applicable, and principal amount of the private notes; and |
• | be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which the private notes were tendered. |
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility and time of receipt of notices will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, and our determination shall be final and binding upon all parties. Any private notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly surrendered for purposes of the exchange offer, and no exchange notes will be issued unless the private notes so withdrawn are validly re-tendered. Properly withdrawn private notes may be re-tendered by following one of the procedures described above under “— Procedures for Tendering” at any time prior to the expiration date.
Conditions
Despite any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange the exchange notes for, any private notes, and we may terminate the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before the acceptance of those private notes if, in our judgment, any of the following conditions has occurred or exists or has not been satisfied or waived prior to the expiration of the exchange offer:
• | any law, statute, rule or regulation is proposed, adopted or enacted, or the staff of the SEC interprets any existing law, statute, rule or regulation in a manner, which, in our reasonable judgment, would materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer; |
• | any action or proceeding is instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer which, in our reasonable judgment, would materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer; or |
• | any governmental approval, which we deem necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer, has not been obtained. |
59
Table of Contents
If we determine in our sole discretion that any of these conditions are not satisfied, we may:
• | refuse to accept any private notes and return all tendered private notes to the tendering holders; |
• | extend the exchange offer and retain all private notes tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, subject, however, to the rights of holders who tendered the private notes to withdraw their tendered private notes; or |
• | waive the unsatisfied conditions with respect to the exchange offer and accept all properly tendered private notes which have not been withdrawn. If that waiver constitutes a material change to the exchange offer, we will promptly disclose the waiver by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the registered holders, and we will extend the exchange offer to the extent required by law. |
The conditions listed above are for our sole benefit and we may assert these rights regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any of these conditions. We may waive these conditions in our reasonable discretion in whole or in part at any time and from time to time. If we fail at any time to exercise any of the above rights, the failure will not be deemed a waiver of these rights, and these rights will be deemed ongoing rights which may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of private notes being submitted for exchange.
Termination of Certain Rights
All registration rights under the registration rights agreement benefiting the holders of the private notes will terminate when we consummate the exchange offer. That includes all rights to receive additional interest in the event of a registration default under the registration rights agreement. In any case we are under a continuing obligation, for a period of up to 180 days after the registration statement is declared effective, to use our reasonable best efforts to keep the registration statement effective and to make this prospectus, and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus, available to any broker-dealer that requests copies in the letter of transmittal for use in a resale.

Fees and Expenses
We will pay for the expenses of this exchange offer. The principal solicitation for tenders of private notes is being made by mail. However, additional solicitation may be made by telegraph, facsimile transmission, e-mail, telephone or in person by our officers and regular employees.
We have not retained a dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer, and will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with providing the services.
We will pay any transfer taxes applicable to the exchange of private notes. If, however, a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange, then the amount of any transfer taxes will be payable by the person surrendering the notes. If you do not submit satisfactory evidence of payment of taxes or of an exemption with the letter of transmittal, the amount of those transfer taxes will be billed directly to you.
Accounting Treatment
We will record the exchange notes at the same carrying value as the private notes as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Therefore, we will not recognize a gain or loss for accounting purposes. We will amortize the expenses of the exchange offer and the unamortized expenses related to the issuance of the private notes over the remaining term of the notes.
Consequence of Failure to Exchange
You do not have to participate in the exchange offer. You should carefully consider whether to accept the terms and conditions of this exchange offer. We urge you to consult your financial and tax advisors in deciding what action to take with respect to the exchange offer.
Private notes that are not exchanged will remain “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3)(iii) of the Securities Act. Accordingly, they may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except:
• | so long as the private notes are eligible for resale under Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person who the seller reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, purchasing for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A; |
• | outside the U.S. to a foreign person in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S under the Securities Act; |
• | pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144, if available; |
• | pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; or |
• | pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, |
in each case in accordance with all other applicable securities laws.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EXCHANGE NOTES
You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading “— Certain Definitions.” Defined terms used in this description but not defined below under the heading “— Certain Definitions” or elsewhere in this description have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture. In this description, the “Company,” “us”, “we” and “our” refer to Moore North America Finance, Inc. (“Finance Inc.”), references to “Parents” refer to Moore Wallace Incorporated and Moore Holdings USA, Inc. together, references to “Moore Wallace” refer to Moore Wallace Incorporated, references to “Moore Wallace NA” refer to Moore Wallace North America, Inc., and references to “Wallace” refers to Wallace Computer Services, Inc. after the consummation of the Acquisition and in all cases do not refer to any of their respective Subsidiaries. References in this section to the “Notes” are references to both the private notes and the exchange notes.
The private notes were, and the exchange notes will be, issued under an indenture, dated as of March 14, 2003, among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (as successor trustee to Bank One, National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”).
The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture. It does not restate that agreement in its entirety. We urge you to read the indenture because it may contain additional information and defines your rights as a note holder. A copy of the indenture is available upon request to the Company at the address indicated under “Where You Can Obtain Additional Information.” The indenture contains provisions that define your rights under the Notes. In addition, the indenture governs the obligations of the Company and each Guarantor under the Notes. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the indenture and, upon effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to the Notes, those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
The Company may, subject to compliance with the covenant described under “— Certain Covenants — Limitation on Debt”, as well as with the other covenants in the indenture which are described under “— Certain Covenants”, issue additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount at any time and from time to time under the same indenture. Any Additional Notes that the Company issues in the future will be substantially identical in all respects to the Notes that the Company is issuing now, and will be treated as a single class for all purposes of the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions, offers to purchase and for all other voting purposes under the indenture, except that Additional Notes issued in the future may have different issuance prices and will have different issuance dates. Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein are to the Notes, including any Additional Notes.
The Company will issue Notes only in fully registered form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The Trustee will initially act as Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes. The Notes may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the Registrar, which initially will be the Trustee’s corporate trust office. The Company may change any Paying Agent and Registrar without notice to holders of the Notes and the Company or a Guarantor may act as paying agent or registrar. The Company will pay principal (and premium, if any) on the Notes at the Trustee’s corporate trust office in New York, New York. At the Company’s option, interest may be paid at the Trustee’s corporate trust office or by check mailed to the registered address of holders.
Any Notes that remain outstanding after the completion of the exchange offer, including the exchange notes issued in connection with the exchange offer and any Additional Notes, will be treated as a single class of securities under the indenture.
Principal, Maturity and Interest
The Notes will mature on January 15, 2011. Unless we issue Additional Notes in the future, the aggregate principal amount of Notes will be $403 million.
65
Table of Contents
Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 7.875% per annum and will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2003. We will pay interest to those persons who were holders of record on the January 1 or July 1 immediately preceding each interest payment date.
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes
If a holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will pay, or cause to be paid by the paying agent, all principal, interest and additional interest, if any, on that holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the holders at their address set forth in the register of holders.
Guarantees
The obligations of the Company pursuant to the Notes and the indenture have been fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed (A) on an unsecured senior basis by each Parent (the “Parent Guarantees”), Moore Wallace NA (the “Moore Wallace NA Guarantee”), Wallace (the “Wallace Guarantee” and, together with the Moore Wallace NA Guarantee, the “Sister Guarantees”) and each Guarantor organized under the laws of any State in the United States or in Canada or any province or territory thereof (the “NA Subsidiary Guarantees” and collectively with the Parent Guarantees and the Sister Guarantees, the “Notes Senior Guarantees”) and (B) on an unsecured senior basis, other than subordination of the obligations of such Guarantor to all obligations of such Guarantor under, or with respect to, Senior Credit Facility Debt, by each Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Subsidiary Guarantor organized outside the United States or Canada (the “Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantees” and, together with the Notes Senior Guarantees, the “Notes Guarantees”). The Subsidiary Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released in certain circumstances as described under “— Certain Covenants — Creation of Subsidiaries; Additional Subsidiary Guarantees”.
Each Notes Guarantee is limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by each specific Guarantor after giving effect to all of its other contingent and fixed liabilities (including, without limitation, all of its obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt) without rendering each Notes Guarantee, as it relates to the applicable Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. A court could also subordinate a Notes Guarantee to all other Debt (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the relevant Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such Debt, a Guarantor’s liability on its Notes Guarantee could be reduced to zero.
In the event that Moore Wallace pays amounts in accordance with its Parent Guarantee, in satisfaction of any amounts that may reasonably be regarded as being attributable to interest payable under the Notes, or amounts deemed to be interest, such amounts may be subject to non-resident withholding tax at a rate determined pursuant to theIncome Tax Act(Canada) and any applicable income tax treaty to which Canada is a party. Moore Wallace has agreed to gross up any such payment made by it pursuant to its Parent Guarantee. See “— Additional Amounts”.
Ranking
The Debt evidenced by the Notes is a senior unsecured obligation of the Company and Debt evidenced by the Notes Guarantees is a senior unsecured obligation of each of the respective Guarantors;providedthat the Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantees are subordinated to the obligations of such Guarantor under or with respect
66
Table of Contents
to Senior Credit Facility Debt. The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and the Notes Guarantees:
• | ranks pari passu in right of payment with all other senior Debt of the Company and the Guarantors, other than subordination of the Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantees to all obligations of such Guarantor under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt; |
• | ranks senior in right of payment to all Debt of the Company and the Guarantors that is, by its terms, expressly subordinated to the Notes or Notes Guarantees; and |
• | is effectively subordinated to the senior secured Debt (including Senior Credit Facility Debt) of the Company and the Guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Debt. |
As of September 30, 2003, we had outstanding debt of approximately $923.3 million, of which approximately $522.9 million is secured. The Guarantors may incur additional debt in the future, including under the new senior secured credit facility. See “— Certain Covenants — Limitation on Debt”.
Subordination of Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantees
The obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to its Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantee are subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt. The terms of the subordination provisions described herein apply to any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under the Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the holders of the Notes may receive or accept payments under a Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantee at a time when they are not entitled to receive payment under the Notes.
Only obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt rank senior in right of payment to the relevant Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of the indenture. The Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantees in all respects rank senior in right of payment to all other subordinated Debt of the Company, either Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors.
A Subsidiary Guarantor is not permitted to pay on a Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantee (collectively, “pay the Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantee”) if:
(1) a payment default on obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt (including upon any acceleration of the maturity thereof) occurs and is continuing; or
(2) any other default on obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt occurs that permits holders of obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt to accelerate the maturity thereof and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Representative of any Designated Senior Debt.
Payments on a Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantee may and shall be resumed:
(1) in the case of a payment default upon the date on which such default is cured or waived or will have ceased to exist; and
(2) in the case of a nonpayment default upon the earlier of (x) the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived or will have ceased to exist (so long as no other default as in clause (2) above exists) and (y) 180 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received.
No new Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered unless and until 360 days have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice.
67
Table of Contents
No known Default (other than a payment default) that existed upon the commencement of a Payment Blockage Notice (whether or not such Event of Default is on the same obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt) shall be made the basis for the commencement of any other Payment Blockage Notice, unless such default has been cured or waived or will have ceased to exist for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days subsequent to the commencement of such initial Payment Blockage Notice (it being acknowledged that any subsequent action, or any breach of any financial covenants for a period commencing after the date of such Payment Blockage Notice that, in either case, would give rise to an event of default pursuant to any provisions under which an event of default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new event of default for this purpose).
Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor that has given a Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantee or its property upon a total or partial liquidation or dissolution or reorganization of or similar proceeding relating to such Subsidiary Guarantor or its property:
(1) the holders of obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all such obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt (including interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy or other like proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any such proceeding) before the holders of the Notes are entitled to receive any payment;
(2) until the obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt are paid in full, in cash or cash equivalents, any payment or distribution to which holders of the Notes would be entitled but for the subordination provisions of the indenture will be made to holders of such obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt as their interests may appear; and
(3) if a distribution is made to holders of the Notes that, due to the subordination provisions, should not have been made to them, such holders of the Notes are required to hold it in trust for the holders of obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.
Unsecured Debt is not deemed to be subordinate or junior to secured Debt merely because it is unsecured or receives priority in respect of asset sales, cash flows or other prepayments, and Debt which has different security or different priorities in the same security will not be deemed subordinate or junior to secured Debt no matter what the differences are.
If payment or distribution of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company or the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of obligations under, or with respect to, Senior Credit Facility Debt or the Representative of such holders of the acceleration.
No provision contained in the indenture or the Notes affects our obligation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Notes when due. The subordination provisions of the indenture and the Notes will not prevent the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under the indenture or limit the rights of the Trustee or any holder to pursue any other rights or remedies with respect to the Notes.
By reason of the subordination provisions contained in the indenture, in the event of a liquidation or insolvency proceeding, creditors of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary Guarantor who are holders of obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt may recover more, ratably, than the holders of the Notes, and the creditors of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary Guarantor who are not holders of obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt may recover less, ratably, than holders of obligations under or with respect to Senior Credit Facility Debt.
The terms of the subordination provisions described above do not apply to payments from money or of Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, held in trust by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes pursuant to the provisions described under “— Defeasance.”

Additional Amounts
All payments made by Moore Wallace with respect to its Guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes, unless Moore Wallace is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If Moore Wallace is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to its Guarantee, Moore Wallace will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder of Notes (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted;provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a holder of Notes (an “Excluded Holder”) (i) with which Moore Wallace does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) at the time of making such payment or at the time that any such payment is deemed to be paid or credited or (ii) which is subject to Taxes by reason of its being connected with Canada or any province or territory thereof otherwise than by the mere acquisition, holding or disposition of the Notes or the receipt of payments thereunder. Moore Wallace will also (i) make such withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. Moore Wallace will furnish to the Trustee within 30 days after the date of the payment of any Taxes due pursuant to applicable law a certification that such payment has been made.
Moore Wallace will indemnify and hold harmless each holder of Notes (other than an Excluded Holder), and upon written request of any holder of Notes (other than an Excluded Holder), reimburse each such holder for the amount of (i) any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such holder as a result of payments made under or with respect to Moore Wallace’s Guarantee; (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expense) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, and (iii) any such Taxes so levied or imposed with respect to any reimbursement under the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) so that the net amount received by such holder after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount the holder would have received if Taxes on such reimbursement had not been imposed.
Optional Redemption

Starting on that date, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at any time or from time to time, after giving the required notice under the indenture. The Notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Optional Redemption upon a Change of Control.At any time on or prior to January 15, 2007, the Notes may also be redeemed or purchased, by or on behalf of the Company, in whole but not in part, at the Company’s option, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption or purchase (the “Redemption Date”) (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Such redemption or purchase may be made upon notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date (but in no event more than 90 days after the occurrence of such Change of Control). The Company may provide in such notice that payment of such price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person. Any such notice may be given prior to the occurrence of the related Change of Control, but any such redemption or purchase or notice is subject to the occurrence of the related Change of Control and may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.
“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Note at any Redemption Date, the excess of (A) the present value at such Redemption Date of (1) the redemption price of such Note on January 15, 2007 (such redemption price being that described in the “General” paragraph of this “Optional Redemption” section) plus (2) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Notes through January 15, 2007, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points over (B) the principal amount of such Note on such Redemption Date. Calculation of the Applicable Premium will be made by the Company or on behalf of the Company by such Person as the Company shall designate.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to a Redemption Date, the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) that has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to such Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from such Redemption Date to January 15, 2007;provided, however, that if the period from such Redemption Date to January 15, 2007 is not equal to the constant maturity of the United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from such Redemption Date to January 15, 2007 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.
Any notice to holders of Notes of a redemption hereunder needs to include the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but does not need to include the redemption price itself. The actual redemption price, calculated as described above, must be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date.
Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes
If Moore Wallace becomes obligated to pay any Additional Amounts (to the extent such Additional Amounts exceed the Additional Amounts that would have been payable by Moore Wallace under the laws or regulations of Canada or any Canadian taxing authority or under any official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in either case existing on the Issue Date) because of a change in the laws or regulations of Canada or any Canadian taxing authority, or a change in any official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, that is publicly announced or becomes effective on or after the Issue Date, Moore Wallace may, at any time, redeem all, but not part, of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, to the redemption date,providedthat at any time that the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding is greater than $20 million, any holder of the Notes may, to the extent that it does not adversely affect Moore Wallace’s after-tax position, at its option, waive Moore’s
70
Table of Contents
compliance with the covenant described under the caption “— Additional Amounts”,provided, further, that if any holder waives this compliance, Moore Wallace may not redeem that holder’s Notes pursuant to this paragraph.
Mandatory Redemption
The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes, other than a Special Mandatory Redemption.
Selection and Notice of Redemption
If the Company redeems less than all the Notes at any time, the Trustee will select Notes on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate.
The Company will redeem Notes of $1,000 or less in whole and not in part. The Company will cause notices of redemption to be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.
If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The Company will issue a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the holder upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption, including Notes called for Special Mandatory Redemption, become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for such redemption.
Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon a Change of Control
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”);provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall not be obligated to purchase the Notes pursuant to this covenant in the event that it has mailed the notice to exercise its right to redeem all the Notes under the terms of the covenant titled “— Optional Redemption” at any time prior to the requirement to consummate the Change of Control Offer and redeems the Notes in accordance with such notice.
Within 30 days following any Change of Control, or, at the Company’s option, prior to the consummation of such Change of Control but after it is publicly announced, the Company shall send, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each holder of Notes at such holder’s address appearing in the Note register, a notice stating:
(1) that a Change of Control has occurred or will occur and a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the covenant described under “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon a Change of Control” and that all Notes timely tendered will be accepted for payment;
(2) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the purchase date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day and a point in time occurring after the consummation of the Change of Control and not later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed;
(3) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of Control;
71
Table of Contents
(4) if the notice is mailed prior to a Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control occurring and Notes will not be accepted for payment unless and until the Change of Control is consummated; and
(5) the procedures that holders of Notes must follow in order to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that holders of Notes must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment.
Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company or its agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives, not later than one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of the Note that was delivered for purchase by the holder and a statement that such holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased.
On or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the paying agent (or, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is acting as the paying agent, segregate and hold in trust) in cash an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price payable to the holders entitled thereto, to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this covenant. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company or its agent shall deliver to the Trustee the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company for payment. The Trustee or the paying agent shall, on the Change of Control Payment Date, mail or deliver payment to each tendering holder of the Change of Control Purchase Price. In the event that the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price is less than the amount delivered by the Company to the Trustee or the paying agent, the Trustee or the paying agent, as the case may be, shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after the Change of Control Payment Date.
The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, including any applicable securities laws of the United States. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described hereunder, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this covenant by virtue of such compliance with these securities laws or regulations.
The Change of Control repurchase feature is a result of negotiations between the Company and the initial purchasers. Management has no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that management would decide to do so in the future. Subject to certain covenants described below, management could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the indenture, but that could increase the amount of debt outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings.
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of Moore Wallace’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ assets, taken as a whole. Although there is case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase. Accordingly, if Moore Wallace were to dispose of less than all its assets, it may be unclear whether a holder of Notes has the right to require the Company to repurchase its Notes.
The Credit Agreement contains, and future debt of the Company or the Guarantors may contain, limitations on certain events that would constitute a Change of Control or require such debt to be repurchased upon a Change of Control. Moreover, the exercise by holders of Notes of their right to require the Company to
72
Table of Contents
repurchase their Notes could cause a default under existing or future debt of the Company or the Guarantors, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on us. Finally, the Company’s ability to pay cash to holders of Notes upon a repurchase may be limited by the Company’s and the Guarantors’ financial resources at that time. We cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases. The Company’s failure to purchase Notes in connection with a Change of Control would result in a default under the indenture. Such a default would, in turn, constitute a default under the Company’s existing debt, and may constitute a default under future debt as well. The Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified at any time prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes. See “— Amendments and Waivers”.
The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if another entity makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.
Certain Covenants
Covenant Suspension.Set forth below are summaries of certain covenants applicable to the Notes. During any period of time that the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from the Required Rating Agencies, the Company, the Guarantors and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions of the indenture:
• | “— Limitation on Debt”, |
• | “— Limitation on Restricted Payments”, |
• | “— Limitation on Asset Sales”, |
• | “— Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries”, |
• | “— Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates”, |
• | clause (x) of the fourth paragraph of “— Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries”, |
• | “— Limitation on Business”, |
• | “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon a Change of Control” and |
• | clause (d) of the first paragraph and the second paragraph of “— Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property” |
(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Company, the Guarantors and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, subsequently, a Required Rating Agency withdraws its rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes so that the Notes no longer have Investment Grade Ratings from the Required Rating Agencies or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Company, the Guarantors and the Restricted Subsidiaries will from such time and thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants and compliance with the Suspended Covenants with respect to Restricted Payments made after the time of such withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default will be calculated in accordance with the terms of the covenant described below under “— Limitation on Restricted Payments” as though such covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date.
Limitation on Debt.The Company and the Guarantors will not, and none of them will permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Debt;provided, however, that the Company or any Guarantor may Incur Debt and the Company or any Guarantor may Incur Acquired Debt if the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been filed with the Commission
73
Table of Contents
pursuant to the covenant described under “— Reports” immediately preceding the date on which such Debt is incurred would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on apro forma basis (includingpro formaapplication of the net proceeds therefrom for such four-quarter period), as if the additional Debt had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period, with any letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have an aggregate principal amount of Debt equal to the maximum amount available thereunder and with any revolving credit facility being deemed to be utilized only to the extent of amounts outstanding thereunder.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, any or all of the following Debt (collectively, “Permitted Debt”) may be Incurred:
(a) Debt of the Company or any Guarantor under a Credit Facility;providedthat the aggregate principal amount of all such Debt under Credit Facilities shall not exceed $950 million at any time outstanding less (i) the amount of any permanent mandatory repayments of principal of term loans made under a Credit Facility which was incurred under this clause (a) and (ii) the amount of any permanent mandatory repayments of principal of revolving loans made under a Credit Facility which was incurred under this clause (a) which are accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction, in each case which are made with Net Available Cash from Asset Sales as required as a result of a sale of assets;

(c) Debt of the Company or any Guarantor in respect of Capital Lease Obligations and Purchase Money Debt,providedthat:
(1) the aggregate principal amount of such Debt secured thereby does not exceed the Fair Market Value (on the date of the Incurrence thereof) of the Property acquired, constructed or leased, and
(2) the aggregate principal amount of all Debt Incurred and then outstanding pursuant to this clause (c) (together with all Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred and then outstanding in respect of Debt previously Incurred pursuant to this clause (c)) does not exceed $100 million;
(d) Debt (1) of the Company owing to and held by Moore Wallace or any Restricted Subsidiary, (2) of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by Moore Wallace, the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, and (3) of Moore Wallace owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary;provided, however, that any subsequent issue or transfer of Capital Stock or other event that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of any such Debt (except to Moore Wallace, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of such Debt by the issuer thereof not permitted by this clause (d);
(e) Debt under Interest Rate Agreements entered into by the Company, a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of their financial management and not for speculative purposes;
(f) Debt under Currency Exchange Protection Agreements entered into by the Company, a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of their financial management and not for speculative purposes;

74
Table of Contents
credit or similar instruments pursuant to self-insurance and workers’ compensation obligations;providedthat upon the drawing of such letters of credit or other instrument, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing;provided, further, that with respect to clauses (1) and (2) above, such Debt is not in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances;

(k) Debt Incurred by a Securitization Entity in connection with a Qualified Securitization Transaction;provided, however, that in the event such Securitization Entity ceases to qualify as a Securitization Entity, such Debt will be deemed, in each case, to be Incurred at such time;
(l) Debt of the Company or a Guarantor consisting of a Guarantee of, or a Lien securing, Debt of the Company or a Guarantor;providedthat such Debt constitutes Debt that is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to this covenant, but subject to compliance with the other provisions described under “— Certain Covenants”;

For the purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt permitted by this covenant or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the second paragraph of this covenant, the Company in its sole discretion shall be permitted to classify on the date of its Incurrence, or later reclassify, all or a portion of such item of Debt in any manner that complies with this covenant;providedthat all outstanding Debt under the Credit Agreement at the time of the Release shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Debt.
Debt permitted by this covenant need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Debt but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this covenant permitting such Debt.
For the purposes of determining any particular amount of Debt under this covenant, (a) Guarantees, Liens, obligations with respect to letters of credit and other obligations supporting Debt otherwise included in the
75
Table of Contents
determination of a particular amount will not be included and (b) any Liens granted to the holders of the Notes that are permitted by the covenant described under “— Limitation on Liens” will not be treated as Debt.
For purposes of determining compliance with any dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Debt, with respect to any Debt which is denominated in a foreign currency, the dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Debt incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Debt was incurred, and any such foreign-denominated Debt may be refinanced or replaced or subsequently refinanced or replaced in an amount equal to the dollar equivalent principal amount of such Debt on the date of such refinancing or replacement whether or not such amount is greater or less than the dollar-equivalent principal amount of the Debt on the date of initial incurrence.
If obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to the Credit Facility and are being treated as incurred pursuant to clause (a) of the second paragraph of this covenant and the letters of credit relate to other Debt, then such other Debt shall be deemed not Incurred.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall Incur any Debt that is expressly subordinated to any other Debt of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Debt is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Notes Guarantee of such Guarantor to the same or a greater extent than such Debt is subordinated to such other Debt.
Limitation on Restricted Payments. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall make, and none of them shall permit any Restricted Subsidiary to make, any Restricted Payment if at the time of, and after giving effect to, such proposed Restricted Payment,
(a) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
(b) the Company could not Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to the first paragraph of the covenant described under “— Limitation on Debt”, or
(c) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments declared or made since the Issue Date (the amount of any Restricted Payment, if made other than in cash, to be based upon Fair Market Value) would exceed an amount equal to the sum of:
(1) 50% of the aggregate amount of Combined Consolidated Net Income accrued on a cumulative basis during the period (treated as one accounting period) from the first day of the fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date occurs to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ended prior to the date of such proposed Restricted Payment for which financial statements are available pursuant to the covenant described under “— Reports” below (or if the aggregate amount of Combined Consolidated Net Income for such period shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus
(2) 100% of Capital Stock Sale Proceeds and cash capital contributions after the Release by a Person who is not the Company, a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or a Guarantor, plus (without duplication)
(3) the sum of:
(a) the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company, a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary from the issuance or sale after the Release of convertible or exchangeable Debt or Disqualified Stock that has been converted into or exchanged for its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock), and
(b) the aggregate amount by which Debt (other than Subordinated Obligations) of the Company, the Guarantors or the Restricted Subsidiaries is reduced on its consolidated balance sheet on or after the Issue Date upon the conversion or exchange of any Debt issued or sold on or prior to the Issue Date that is convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than
76

(5) $75 million.
Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Company or any Guarantor may:
(i) pay dividends on its Capital Stock within 60 days of the declaration thereof if, on said declaration date, such dividends could have been paid in compliance with the indenture (for the avoidance of doubt, such dividend shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments only at the time such dividend is paid);

Limitation on Liens.Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall, and none of them shall permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its Property (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary and intercompany notes), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom, unless it has made or will make effective provision whereby the Notes or the relevant Notes Guarantee will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to) all other obligations of the Company, a Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary secured by such Lien until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.
The Lien on the Escrowed Property created for the benefit of the holders of the Notes will provide by its terms that any such Lien will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the Release.
Limitation on Asset Sales.Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall, and none of them shall permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

(c) the Company delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that such Asset Sale complies with the foregoing clauses (a) and (b).

Table of Contents
The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales may be applied by the Company, a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Company or such Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt):
(a) to permanently prepay or permanently repay any (i) Debt under any Credit Facility, (ii) Debt which had been secured by the assets sold in the relevant Asset Sale and (iii) Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor; and/or
(b) to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets with Net Available Cash received by the Company, a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary).
Pending the final application of the Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof), the Company, a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily repay Debt under any Credit Facility or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in Temporary Cash Investments.
Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance with the second preceding paragraph within 365 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25 million, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase (the “Prepayment Offer”) the Notes and any other Debt of the Company outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer that ispari passuin right of payment with the Notes or a Notes Guarantee and subject to terms and conditions in respect of Asset Sales similar in all material respects to the covenant described hereunder and requiring the Company to make an offer to purchase such Debt at substantially the same time as the Prepayment Offer, which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds, on a pro rata basis according to principal amount, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth herein. To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence, the Company, such Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for any purpose not restricted by the indenture and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.
The term “Allocable Excess Proceeds” will mean the product of:
(a) the Excess Proceeds and
(b) a fraction,
(1) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, and
(2) the denominator of which is the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, and (B) the aggregate principal amount of other Debt of the Company or a Guarantor outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer that ispari passuin right of payment with the Notes or a Notes Guarantee, as the case may be, and subject to terms and conditions in respect of Asset Sales similar in all material respects to the covenant described hereunder and requiring the Company or a Guarantor to make an offer to purchase such Debt at substantially the same time as the Prepayment Offer (subject to proration in the event that such amount is less than the aggregate offer price of all Notes tendered).
Within 15 Business Days after the Company is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer as described in the second preceding paragraph, the Company shall send a written notice, by first-class mail, to the holders of Notes, accompanied by such information regarding the Company and the Guarantors as the Company in good faith believes will enable such holders to make an informed decision with respect to such Prepayment Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the purchase date (the “Purchase Date”), which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed.
80
Table of Contents
Not later than the date upon which written notice of a Prepayment Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Prepayment Offer (the “Offer Amount”), (ii) the allocation of the Net Available Cash from the Asset Sales pursuant to which such Prepayment Offer is being made and (iii) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of the second paragraph of this covenant. On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the paying agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the paying agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) in Temporary Cash Investments (other than in those enumerated in clause (b) of the definition of Temporary Cash Investments), maturing on the last day prior to the Purchase Date or on the Purchase Date if funds are immediately available by the opening of business, an amount equal to the Offer Amount to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this covenant. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Prepayment Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company. The Trustee or the paying agent shall, on the Purchase Date, mail or deliver payment to each tendering holder in the amount of the purchase price. In the event that the aggregate purchase price of the Notes delivered by the Company to the Trustee is less than the Offer Amount, the Trustee or the paying agent shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this covenant.
Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company or its agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Purchase Date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the Purchase Date a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of the Note that was delivered for purchase by the holder and a statement that such holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased. If at the expiration of the Offer Period the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis for all Notes (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased). Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.
At the time the Company or its agent delivers Notes to the Trustee that are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this covenant. A Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee or the paying agent mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering holder.
The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to the covenant described hereunder, including any applicable securities laws of the United States. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of the covenant described hereunder, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the covenant described hereunder by virtue thereof.
Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor a Guarantor shall, and neither of them shall permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the right of any Restricted Subsidiary to:
(a) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock to the Company, a Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary,
(b) pay any Debt or other obligation owed to the Company, a Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary,

(C) imposed by a Credit Facility with respect to Debt permitted to be Incurred on or subsequent to the date of the indenture,providedthat the restrictions imposed by such Credit Facility on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to take the action described in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) are not materially more restrictive than the restrictions imposed by the Credit Agreement;
(D) imposed by Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary existing at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary if such restriction was not created in connection with or in anticipation of the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Company or a Guarantor;
(E) that result from the Refinancing of Debt Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (1)(A) or (D) above;providedsuch restriction is no less favorable in any material respect to the holders of Notes than those under the agreement evidencing the Debt so Refinanced when taken as a whole;
(F) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by leases or other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(G) any encumbrances or restrictions required by any governmental, local or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company, a Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their businesses in connection with any development grant made or other assistance provided to the Company, a Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary by such governmental authority;
(H) customary provisions in joint venture or similar agreements or other arrangements with minority investors in Restricted Subsidiaries and customary provisions in Debt incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries organized outside the United States;provided, however, that such encumbrance or restriction is applicable only to such Restricted Subsidiary; andprovided, further, that (i) the encumbrance or restriction is customary in comparable agreements and (ii) the Company determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the ability of the Company to make any anticipated payments of principal or interest on the Notes;
(I) with respect to a Securitization Entity in connection with a Qualified Securitization Transaction;provided, however, that such encumbrances and restrictions are customarily required by the institutional sponsor or arranger of such Qualified Securitization Transaction in similar types of documents relating to the purchase of similar receivables in connection with the financing thereof;
(J) customary restrictions contained in asset sale, stock sale, merger and other similar agreements limiting the transfer, disposition or distribution of such Property pending the closing of such sale, including any restriction imposed with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement to dispose of all or substantially all the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary; or

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall, and neither of them shall permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any Property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:
(a) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Company, such Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company,
(b) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $10 million, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Moore Wallace or, if there is only one disinterested director, such disinterested director, determine that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a) of this covenant as evidenced in the minutes or other evidence of Board action, and
(c) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $50 million, the Company obtains a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect that the consideration to be paid or received in connection with such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company, such Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable.

(k) sales or transfers or dispositions of Receivables and Related Assets to a Securitization Entity and acquisitions of Investments in connection therewith.
Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.By resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of Moore Wallace, any Subsidiary of Moore Wallace may be designated to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if:

(b) the Company would be permitted under the covenant described under “— Limitation on Restricted Payments” to make a Restricted Payment in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Investment in such Subsidiary. For the purposes of this provision, in the event the Fair Market Value of such assets exceeds $50 million, such Fair Market Value shall be determined by an Independent Financial Advisor.
Unless so designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, any Person that becomes a Subsidiary of Moore Wallace will be classified as a Restricted Subsidiary at the time it becomes a Subsidiary.
Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, no Restricted Subsidiary may be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. In addition, neither the Company, a Guarantor nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any
84
Table of Contents
time be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt that provides that the holder thereof may (with the passage of time or notice or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its Stated Maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Debt, Lien or other obligation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary).
By resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of Moore Wallace, any Unrestricted Subsidiary may be designated to be a Restricted Subsidiary if, immediately after giving pro forma effect to such designation,
(x) the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to the first paragraph of the covenant described under “— Limitation on Debt,” and
(y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom.
Any such designation or redesignation will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee the Board Resolutions giving effect to such designation or redesignation and an Officers’ Certificate of the Company that:
(a) certifies that such designation or redesignation complies with the foregoing provisions, and
(b) gives the effective date of such designation or redesignation, such filing with the Trustee to occur on or before the time financial statements are filed with the Commission or the Trustee pursuant to “— Reports” below in respect of the fiscal quarter in which such designation or redesignation is made (or, in the case of a designation or redesignation made during the last fiscal quarter of the fiscal year, on or before the time financial statements in respect of such fiscal year are filed with the Commission or the Trustee pursuant to “— Reports” below).

The Notes Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released if
(1) any Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture; or
(2) in connection with the sale of (A) that number of shares of Capital Stock of a Guarantor such that such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of Moore Wallace or (B) all or substantially all of the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not the Company or a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary;providedthat such sale complies with the covenant described under “— Limitation on Asset Sales”.
In addition, in the event a Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor solely because it Guarantees other Debt, then upon the full and unconditional release of the Guarantee of such other Debt (providedthat the Trustee is given two Business Days’ written notice of such other release) such Guarantee of such Subsidiary shall also be released.
85

(E) grants any similar relief under any foreign laws;
and in each such case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days;
(8) any judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an unsecured aggregate amount (net of any amount covered by insurance issued by a reputable and creditworthy insurer that has not contested coverage or reserved rights with respect to the underlying claim) in excess of $20 million are entered against the Company, Moore Wallace or any Significant Subsidiary and shall not be waived, satisfied or discharged for any period of 60 consecutive days after such judgment becomes final and nonappealable; or
(9) (a) a Parent Guarantee, a Sister Guarantee or any Subsidiary Guarantee from a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee) or (b) either of the Parents, either of the Sister Guarantors or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee.
The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
A Default under clause (4) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding notify the Company (and in the case of such notice by holders, the Trustee) of the Default and such Default is not cured within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default and any event that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
The Company shall immediately notify the Trustee if a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company, either Sister Guarantor or either Parent is convened to consider any action mandated by a petition for debt settlement proceedings or bankruptcy proceedings. The Company shall also promptly advise the Trustee of the approval of the filing of a debt settlement or bankruptcy petition prior to the filing of such petition.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default resulting from certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company, the Parents, Moore Wallace NA or a Significant Subsidiary) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the registered holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of acceleration. In case an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company, the Parents, Moore NA or a Significant Subsidiary shall occur, such amount with respect to all the Notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the holders of the Notes. After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the registered holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, premium or interest, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture.

Table of Contents
In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in clause (5) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the payment default or other default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (5) shall be remedied or cured or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within the grace period applicable to such default provided for in the documentation governing such Debt and if (a) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (b) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.
Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the Notes, unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes.
No holder of Notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or Trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless:
(a) such holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b) the registered holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made written request and offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee, and
(c) the Trustee shall not have received from the registered holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days after such notice, request and offer.
However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of any Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.
Amendments and Waivers
Subject to certain exceptions, the indenture may be amended with the consent of the registered holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived (except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest and certain covenants and provisions of the indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note) with the consent of the registered holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note, no amendment may,
(1) reduce the amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver,
(2) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note,
(3) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Note,
(4) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note,

(7) modify the provisions described under “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon a Change of Control” or the related definitions at any time on or after the Company is obligated to make a Change of Control Offer, or

Without the consents of the requisite lenders under the Credit Agreement, no amendment may be made to the subordination provisions described under “— Subordination of Subordinated Subsidiary Guarantees” or the requirement set forth in the proviso at the end of the second paragraph under “— Creation of Subsidiaries; Additional Subsidiary Guarantees”.
The consent of the holders of the Notes is not necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. After an amendment that requires the consent of the holders of Notes becomes effective, the Company is required to mail to each registered holder of the Notes at such holder’s address appearing in the Notes register a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all holders of the Notes, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders
No director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Notes Guarantees or the indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

Governing Law
The indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees are governed by the internal laws of the State of New York without reference to principles of conflicts of law.
Consent to Jurisdiction and Service
The indenture provides that each of Moore Wallace and the Guarantors that is organized outside the United States revocably appoints Moore Wallace NA as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to the indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees and for actions brought under federal or state securities laws in any federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York and submits to such non-exclusive jurisdiction.
Enforceability of Judgments Against Moore Wallace
Since Moore Wallace is a Canadian corporation with substantial assets located outside the United States, any judgments obtained in the United States against Moore Wallace, including judgments with respect to the payment of principal, premium, interest, special interest, Additional Amounts, offer price, redemption price or other amounts payable under the Notes, may not be collectible within the United States.
A substantial portion of Moore Wallace’s assets (other than equity interests in or loans to its subsidiaries) are located in Québec and Ontario. Moore Wallace has been informed by its Canadian counsel, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, that the laws of Québec permit a motion and the laws of Ontario permit an action to be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Québec and Ontario (a “Canadian Court”) on any final, conclusive and enforceable civil judgment of any federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York which is a court of competent jurisdiction against Moore Wallace in connection with any action arising out of or relating to the indenture (a “New York Court”) that is not impeachable as void or voidable (or subject to ordinary remedy in Québec) under the internal laws of the State of New York for a sum certain if (i) the New York Court rendering such judgment had jurisdiction over the judgment debtor, as recognized by a Canadian Court (submission by Moore Wallace in the indenture to the jurisdiction of the New York Court being sufficient for such purpose); (ii) such judgment was not obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to natural justice or in contravention of the fundamental principles of procedure and the decision and enforcement thereof would not be inconsistent with public policy or public order, as such terms are understood under the laws of Québec and Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, as the case may be (or inconsistent with public order as understood in international relations, as that term is applied by a court of competent jurisdiction in Québec); (iii) the enforcement of such judgment does not constitute, directly or indirectly, the enforcement of foreign revenue laws (including taxation laws), or expropriatory or penal laws; (iv) the action to enforce such judgment is commenced within the applicable limitation period; (v) a dispute between the same parties based on the same subject matter has not given rise to a decision rendered by a Canadian Court or has been decided by a foreign authority and the decision meets the necessary conditions for recognition in Québec or Ontario, as applicable; (vi) in Québec, the decision has not been rendered by default unless the plaintiff has proven due service of the act of procedure initiating the proceedings on the defaulting party in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the decision was rendered and the defendant does not prove that, owing to the circumstances, it was unable to learn of the act of procedure or it was not given time to offer its defense; (vii) no new admissible evidence is discovered and presented before the Canadian Court reaches its judgment; and (viii) such judgment was not obtained contrary to an order made by the Attorney General of Canada under theForeign Extraterritorial Measures Act(Canada) or by the Competition Tribunal under theCompetition Act(Canada). Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP is not aware of any reasons under the present laws of Québec and Ontario for avoiding enforcement of judgments of a New York Court with respect to the indenture on the basis of public policy or order, as that term is understood under the laws of Québec and Ontario.

Table of Contents
In addition, under theCurrency Act(Canada), a Canadian Court may only render judgment for a sum of money in Canadian currency, and in enforcing a foreign judgment for a sum of money in a foreign currency, a Canadian Court will render its decision in the Canadian currency equivalent to such foreign currency.

The exchange notes initially will be represented by one or more permanent global certificates in definitive, fully registered form (the “Global Notes”). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”) and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC, in the form of a global certificate.
The Global Notes
DTC has advised us that pursuant to procedures established by it (i) upon the issuance of the Global Notes, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its internal system, the principal amount at maturity of the individual beneficial interests represented by such Global Notes to the respective accounts of persons who have accounts with such depositary and (ii) ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC (“participants”) or persons who hold interests through participants. Holders may hold their interests in the Global Notes directly through DTC if they are participants in such system, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such system.
So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of the notes, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Notes for all purposes under the indenture governing the notes. No beneficial owner of an interest in the Global Notes will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC’s procedures, in addition to those provided for under the indenture with respect to the exchange notes.
Payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including additional interest) on, the Global Notes will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Notes. None of Finance Inc., the trustee or any paying agent under the indenture governing the notes will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interest.
DTC has advised us that its present practice is, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest (including additional interest) on the Global Notes, to credit immediately participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Notes as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.
Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way through DTC’s same-day funds system in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same-day funds. If a holder requires physical delivery of a certificated security for any reason, including to sell notes to persons in states which require physical delivery of the notes, or to pledge such securities, such holder must transfer its interest in a Global Note, in accordance with the normal procedures of DTC and with the procedures set forth in the indenture governing the notes.
DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes, including the presentation of notes for exchange as described below, only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in the Global Notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an event of default under the indenture governing the notes, DTC will exchange the Global Notes for certificated securities, which it will distribute to its participants.

DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a “Clearing Agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly (“indirect participants”).
Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Note among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.
Certificated Securities
Certificated securities will be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the Global Notes (i) if requested by a holder of such interests or (ii) if DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The exchange of private notes for exchange notes should not be treated as a taxable transaction for United States Federal income tax purposes because the terms of the exchange notes should not be considered to differ materially in kind or in extent from the terms of the private notes.

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF MOORE CORPORATION LIMITED:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Moore Corporation Limited (the “Corporation”) as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, prior to the change in accounting policy for earnings per share as described in Note 2, the reclassification of segmented information in Note 20 to conform with management’s process for making decisions with regard to resource allocation and performance evaluation and reclassification of various amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation and disclosure of net loss and net loss per share adjusted to exclude amortization expense related to goodwill as described in Note 7, were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated February 22, 2001. We have audited the adjustments and reclassifications to the 2000 financial statements and, in our opinion, such adjustments and reclassifications, in all material respects, are appropriate and have been properly applied.

CANADA – UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REPORTING DIFFERENCE
In the United States of America, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there are changes in accounting principles that have a material effect on the comparability of the Corporation’s financial statements, such as the changes described in Note 2 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated February 12, 2003 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to such changes in accounting principles in the auditors’ report when the change is properly accounted for and adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

MOORE CORPORATION LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
1. Summary of Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
Moore Corporation Limited is a corporation continued under the Canada Business Corporation Act. The consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), include the accounts of Moore Corporation Limited and its subsidiaries. Entities that are not controlled and over which the Corporation has significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. All other investments are accounted for on the cost basis. The Corporation does not have any transactions with unconsolidated special purpose entities or variable interest entities. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Comparative figures have been reclassified where appropriate to conform to the current presentation. Significant differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP are discussed in Note 25.
Revenue Recognition
The Corporation typically recognizes revenue for the majority of its products upon shipment to the customer and the transfer of title. Under agreements with certain customers, custom forms may be stored by the Corporation for future delivery. In these situations, the Corporation receives a logistics and warehouse management fee for the services provided. In these cases, delivery and billing schedules are outlined with the customer and product revenue is recognized when manufacturing is complete, title transfers to the customer, the order is invoiced and there is reasonable assurance of collectability. Since the majority of products are customized, product returns are not significant, however, the Corporation accrues for the estimated amount of customer credits at the time of sale.
Revenue from services is recognized as services are performed. Long-term product contract revenue is recognized based on the completed contract method or percentage of completion method. The percentage of completion method is used only for contracts that will take longer than three months to complete, and project stages are clearly defined and can be invoiced. The contract must also contain enforceable rights by both parties. Revenue related to short-term service contracts and contracts that do not meet the percentage of completion criteria is recognized when the contract is completed.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
The consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars because a significant part of the Corporation’s net assets and earnings are located or originate in the United States. Except for the foreign currency financial statements of subsidiaries in countries with highly inflationary economies, Canadian and other foreign currency financial statements are translated into United States dollars on the following bases: all assets and liabilities at the year-end exchange rates; income and expenses at average exchange rates during the year. Net unrealized exchange adjustments arising on translation of foreign currency financial statements are charged or credited directly to shareholders’ equity and shown as cumulative translation adjustments.
The foreign currency financial statements of subsidiaries in countries with highly inflationary economies are translated into United States dollars using the temporal method whereby monetary items are translated at current exchange rates, and non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates. In 2001, Venezuela was the only highly inflationary economy in which the Corporation operated. In 2002, Venezuela’s economy was no longer considered highly inflationary, and the impact of this change in method of translation was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Exchange losses or gains are included in earnings. In 2001, a loss of $2,936 is included in investment and other income. Amounts included in investment and other income for 2002 and 2000 were not material. In 2002, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ (CICA) amended Handbook Section 1650, Foreign Currency Translation. The impact of the adoption of the standard was not material.
Financial Instruments
The Corporation enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations in the ordinary course of business. The contracts are normally for terms of less than one year and are used as hedges of foreign denominated revenue streams, costs and loans. The unrealized gains and losses on outstanding contracts are offset against the gains and losses of the hedged item. In 2002, the Corporation entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its Term Loan B Facility. The interest rate differential received or paid on these agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.
Short-term securities are highly liquid and consist of investment grade instruments in governments, financial institutions and corporations.
Unless disclosed otherwise in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities approximates carrying value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a purchased maturity of three months or less.
Inventories
Inventories of raw materials and work-in-process are valued at the lower of cost or replacement cost and inventories of finished goods at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In the United States, the cost of the principal raw material inventories and the raw material content of work-in-process and finished goods inventories is determined on the last-in, first-out basis. The cost of all other inventories is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of buildings range from 20 to 50 years and from 3 to 17 years for machinery and equipment. All costs for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Gains or losses on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are included in investment and other income, and the cost and accumulated depreciation related to these assets are removed from the accounts.
The Corporation reviews property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Corporation then compares expected future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows, the asset would be adjusted to its net recoverable amount and an impairment loss would be charged to operations in the period identified.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquired entity over the fair value assigned to the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill from acquisitions that occurred prior to July 1, 2001 was amortized over its useful life on a straight-line basis, not to exceed 40 years. Goodwill from acquisitions subsequent to July 1, 2001 was not amortized. Effective January 1, 2002, all goodwill ceased to be amortized.
Identifiable intangible assets are recognized apart from goodwill and are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment, unless events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In the absence of comparable market valuations, the Corporation compares expected future discounted cash flows to be generated by the asset or related business to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the sum of the future discounted cash flows, the asset would be adjusted to its fair value and an impairment loss would be charged to operations in the period identified (see Note 7).
Amortization of Deferred Charges
Deferred charges include certain costs to acquire and develop internal-use computer software, which is amortized over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method, up to a maximum of seven years.
Deferred debt issue costs are amortized over the term of the related debt.
Pension and Postretirement Plans
The Corporation records annual amounts relating to its pension and postretirement plans based on calculations specified by GAAP, which include various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. The Corporation reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications is generally recorded or amortized over future periods. The Corporation believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience, market conditions and input from its actuaries.
Income Taxes
The Corporation applies the liability method of tax allocation for accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the substantively enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred income tax liabilities and assets is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs. No provision has been made for taxes on undistributed earnings of subsidiaries not currently available for paying dividends as such earnings have been reinvested in the business.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Corporation has stock-based compensation plans as described in Note 12. The Corporation accounts for stock options using the intrinsic value method. No compensation expense was recognized in 2002, 2001 or 2000 as the options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value at dates of grant. See Notes 12 and 25 for the pro forma effect of accounting for stock options under the fair value method for both Canadian and U.S. GAAP, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
In October 2002, the Corporation awarded 385,000 restricted common shares under its 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Compensation expense is measured based upon the fair value on the date of issue and is recognized as the shares vest (see Note 12).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including but not limited to allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, amortization, asset valuations, employee benefits, taxes, restructuring and other provisions and contingencies.
2. Changes in Accounting Policies
CICA Section 3062 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the CICA Handbook Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (see Note 7).
The transitional impairment testing required by this standard had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position and result of operations since the carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets did not exceed their fair values.
CICA Section 1581 Business Combinations
In 2002, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the CICA Handbook Section 1581, Business Combinations. The standard requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. This standard had no material impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
CICA Section 1650 Foreign Currency Translation
Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the CICA to amended Handbook Section 1650, Foreign Currency Translation. The amendment eliminates the deferral and amortization of unrealized translation gains and losses on non-current monetary assets and liabilities and requires that exchange gain or loss arising on translation of a foreign currency denominated non-monetary item carried at market be included in income in the current reporting period. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
CICA Section 3870 Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments
Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments. The recommendations establish standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services. It applies to transactions, including non-reciprocal transactions, in which an enterprise grants shares of common stock, stock options, or other equity instruments, or incurs liabilities based on the price of common stock or other equity instruments. The standard encourages, but does not

require, fair value measurement and recognition of equity instruments awarded to employees and cost of services received as consideration. A pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share using the fair value based method of accounting has been presented for the required period.
CICA Section 3500 Earnings Per Share
Effective January 1, 2001, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the CICA Handbook Section 3500, Earnings Per Share. The standard requires the disclosure of the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share and the use of the treasury stock method for calculating the dilutive impact of stock options. The impact on prior reported amounts was not material.
CICA Section 3461 Employee Future Benefits
Effective January 1, 2000, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the CICA Handbook Section 3461, Employee Future Benefits. Under past Canadian standards, the Corporation recognized the cost of postretirement benefits other than pensions as an expense when paid. This standard requires that the expected costs of the employees’ postretirement benefits be expensed during the years that the employees render services to the Corporation. In addition, the new standard changes the accounting for recognition of involuntary termination benefits.
The standard was applied retroactively without restatement of prior year financial statements. The cumulative effect of this change, as of January 1, 2000, resulted in a $33,295 increase to opening retained earnings.
CICA Section 3465 Accounting for Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 2000, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the CICA Handbook Section 3465, Accounting for Income Taxes. This represented a change from the deferral method of tax allocation to the liability method of tax allocation.
The new standard was applied retroactively without restatement of prior year financial statements. The cumulative effect of the change as of January 1, 2000 resulted in a $2,443 increase to opening retained earnings.
3. Acquisitions and Pending Acquisitions
On December 31, 2001, and January 31, 2002, the Corporation acquired certain assets relating to the Document Management Services business of IBM Canada Limited and The Nielsen Company, a commercial printer, for total consideration of $14,592 and $57,202, respectively, net of cash acquired. The allocation of the purchase prices to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair values at the dates of acquisition were as follows:
Working capital, other than cash | $ | 10,933 | ||
Property, plant and equipment | 9,475 | |||
Other liabilities | (15,020 | ) | ||
Goodwill and other intangibles | 66,406 | |||
Purchase price, net of cash received | $ | 71,794 | ||

In May 2002, the Corporation purchased the remaining minority interest in its consolidated subsidiary, Quality Color Press, Inc., for total consideration of $6,680. The cost of this acquisition exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $5,437 allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets. Management has reclassified this business from the Commercial segment to the Forms and Labels segment in order to reflect the business synergies and integration plans. During August 2002, the Corporation purchased the remaining minority interest of its consolidated subsidiaries located in Central America for consideration of $2,750 ($2,000 in cash and $750 payable within the next twelve months). The carrying value of the minority interests approximated the purchase price.
Pro forma disclosures for the aforementioned acquisitions have been excluded because they are not material to the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
On January 16, 2003, the Corporation signed a definitive merger agreement with Wallace, a leading provider of printed products and print management services, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Wallace in exchange for average consideration of $14.40 in cash and 1.05 shares of the Corporation for each outstanding share of Wallace. The purchase price is approximately $1.3 billion based on approximately 42 million Wallace shares outstanding, which includes the assumption of approximately $210 million in debt, but does not include any direct transaction costs. The estimated purchase price was derived using the closing trading price of the Corporation’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) at January 16, 2003, which approximates the average closing price of Moore shares two trading days before and after January 17, 2003, the announcement date. Completion of the Wallace merger is subject to customary closing conditions that include, among others, receipt of required approval from Wallace shareholders, required regulatory approvals and closing of the required financing. The transaction, while expected to close in the first half of 2003, may not be completed if any of the closing conditions are not satisfied. Under certain terms specified in the merger agreement, the Corporation or Wallace may terminate the agreement, and as a result, either party may be required to pay a termination fee of up to $27.5 million to the other party. Upon consummation, the transaction will be recorded by allocating the cost of the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the net of amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. Unless otherwise indicated, the consolidated financial statements and related notes pertain to the Corporation as a stand-alone entity and do not reflect the impact of the pending business combination transaction with Wallace.

7. Goodwill and Other Intangibles
On January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under this standard goodwill from acquisitions, subsequent to July 1, 2001 is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test. Effective January 1, 2002, all goodwill ceased to be amortized and is subject to an annual impairment test. Previously, goodwill from acquisitions prior to July 1, 2001 was amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life, not to exceed 40 years, or was written down when a permanent impairment in value occurred.
This standard requires reclassification of identifiable intangibles separately from previously reported goodwill. This standard also requires goodwill and identifiable intangible assets to be reviewed annually for impairment, unless events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying values may not be recoverable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
In August 2002, the Corporation entered into a $400.0 million secured credit facility. The facility is comprised of a five-year $125.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, a five-year $75.0 million Delayed Draw Term Loan A Facility, and a six-year $200.0 million Term Loan B Facility, all of which are subject to a number of financial and restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit additional indebtedness and the ability of the Corporation to engage in certain transactions with affiliates, create liens on assets, engage in mergers and consolidations, or dispose of assets. The financial covenants calculated on a quarterly basis include, but are not limited to, tests of leverage and fixed charges coverage. The Delayed Draw Term Loan A Facility is to be used for acquisitions and related initial working capital requirements. The facility must be drawn within 18 months of the closing in a maximum of two drawings. Proceeds from the Term Loan B Facility were used in part to refinance the existing $168.0 million revolving credit facility that expired on August 5, 2002, and to fund working capital requirements as necessary. The Term Loan B Facility bears interest at LIBOR (London Interbank Offer Rate) plus a 300 basis point spread. Three-month LIBOR at December 31, 2002, was 1.38%.
For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Corporation was in compliance with all debt covenants.
During 2002, the Corporation entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on the Term Loan B Facility. These swap agreements exchange the variable interest rates (LIBOR) on this facility for fixed interest rates over the terms of the agreements. The resulting fixed interest rates will be the contracted swap rate plus the LIBOR basis spread on the Term Loan B Facility. At December 31, 2002, the notional amount of the swap agreements was $150.0 million comprised as follows: a $100.0 million, 3.78% fixed rate agreement that expires in August 2006; and a $50.0 million, 2.56% fixed rate agreement that expires in September 2004. The interest rate differential received or paid on these agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. At December 31, 2002, the fair value of these swap agreements was a $5,089 liability.
On December 27, 2001, the Corporation redeemed $100.0 million of its senior guaranteed notes. On September 4, 2002, the Corporation redeemed the remaining $100.0 million of these senior guaranteed notes and incurred a net prepayment charge of $16,746.
On December 28, 2001, the $70.5 million subordinated convertible debentures held by Chancery Lane/GSC Investors L.P. (the “Partnership”) were converted into 21,692,311 common shares. The Corporation issued 1,650,000 additional common shares (“additional shares”) as an inducement to the Partnership’s Class A limited partners to convert prior to December 22, 2005, the date the Corporation could have redeemed the debentures. The right to receive the additional shares was assigned by the Partnership to its Class A limited partners. Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the Class A limited partners were entitled to all the interest paid on the subordinated convertible debentures. As part of the inducement agreement, the Corporation has agreed that if at December 31, 2003, the 20 day weighted average trading price of the common shares on the NYSE is less than $10.83, the Corporation must make a payment equal to the lesser of $9.0 million or the value of 6,000,000 of its common shares at such date. The $9.0 million payment may be reduced under certain circumstances. At the option of the Corporation, these payments may be made in common shares, subject to regulatory approval. To the extent that shares or cash is paid, it will be recorded as a charge to retained earnings. At December 31, 2002, the Corporation’s 20-day weighted average trading price was less than the $10.83 measurement price. The Corporation has no indication that the 20-day weighted average share price will continue to trade below the measurement price. Certain officers of the Corporation, including the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, and the former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, were investors in the Partnership.
For financial reporting purposes, the subordinated convertible debentures had a liability component and an equity component. The liability component was classified as long-term debt, representing the present value of

interest and principal payments discounted at a rate of interest applicable to a debt only instrument of comparable term and risk. The equity component at December 28, 2001, was $8,343 representing the value of the conversion option, calculated as the difference between the proceeds and liability component.
Upon conversion, the Corporation allocated the consideration given to extinguish subordinated convertible debentures to the liability and equity components based on fair values on the date of conversion, which approximated their carrying values. As such, no gain or loss was recorded. The inducement payment of the additional shares issued was allocated to the equity component and, accordingly, charged to retained earnings. Professional fees of $1,600 incurred for the conversion were also charged to retained earnings.
Deferred issue costs of $10,396 in 2001 relating to the subordinated convertible debentures were charged to earnings upon extinguishment.
Other long-term debt, including capital leases, bears interest rates ranging from 3.4% to 14.2% and matures on various dates through 2012. Loans (excluding leases) amounting to $329 (2001 — $4,000) are payable in currencies other than United States dollars.
The net book value of assets subject to liens in 2002 is $26,563 (2001 — $27,485). The liens are primarily mortgages against property, plant and equipment and other current assets.
Payments required on long-term debt (excluding capital lease obligations) are as follows: 2003 — $219; 2004 — $110; no repayments required for 2005 and 2006; 2007 — $84,500; and thereafter — $95,000.
The Corporation also maintains uncommitted bank operating lines in the majority of the domestic markets in which it operates. These lines of credit are maintained to cover temporary cash shortfalls. Maximum allowable borrowings under these uncommitted facilities amounted to $40,221 at December 31, 2002 ($1,397 outstanding), and may be terminated at any time at the Corporation’s option. Total availability under these facilities at December 31, 2002, was $38,824.

Proceeds received were allocated to the asset sale and supply agreement based on an independent appraisal. Since the Corporation anticipates making purchases ratably over the term of the supply agreement, the proceeds related to the agreement have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement as a reduction in cost of goods sold. The price terms of the supply agreement were no more favorable than those available from other parties.
Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2002, is $6,138 (2001 — $6,918) representing the current portion of the supply agreement.

12. Share Capital
The Corporation’s articles of continuance provide that its authorized share capital be divided into an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preference shares, issuable in one or more series. On February 7, 2002, the Corporation announced a program to repurchase up to $50.0 million of its shares. The program calls for shares to be purchased on the NYSE from time to time depending upon market conditions, market price of the common shares and the assessment of the cash flow needs by the Corporation’s management.

The Corporation has a long-term incentive program under which stock options and restricted stock awards may be granted to certain key employees. At December 31, 2002, there were 583,000 common shares available for grants (2001 — 877,500; 2000 — 171,700). Stock options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value at date of grant. Options granted generally vest at 20% or 25% per year from the date of grant. Upon retirement, all options become vested. Options granted prior to 1999 are eligible for exercise for five years after the date of retirement. Options granted after 1998 are eligible for exercise for one year after the date of retirement. The options expire not more than 10 years from the date granted.
On October 17, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved the award of 385,000 restricted shares under the Corporation’s 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The effective grant date of the restricted shares was October 17, 2002. The restricted shares are subject to repurchase by the Corporation at no cost in the event employment is terminated other than as a result of death, retirement or disability. These repurchase rights expire with respect to 25% of the initial restricted share grant each year beginning on the first anniversary of the restricted share award. Upon issuance of the restricted shares, unearned compensation expense equal to the market value was charged to share capital. The unearned compensation of the restricted shares is disclosed as a separate component of shareholders’ equity that will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense for 2002 was $1,093.
On December 11, 2000, the Board of Directors approved the creation of Series 1 Preference Shares, which are non-voting and entitle the holder to a non-cumulative preferential annual dividend of CDN $0.001 and to receive any dividend paid on a common share. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, a holder of a Series 1 Preference Share is entitled to receive a preferential amount of CDN $0.001, together with all dividends declared and unpaid thereon. Thereafter, the Series 1 Preference Shares and common shares rank equally with each other on a share-for-share basis. Stock options to acquire 1,580,000 Series 1 Preference Shares were issued on December 11, 2000, and vest at 25% per annum. In April 2002, the shareholders of the Corporation approved the amendment of the options to purchase Series 1 Preference Shares

14. Retirement Programs
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
During 2000, the Corporation amended its United States pension plan to cease all benefit accruals effective December 31, 2000, and announced the Corporation’s intention to terminate and wind-up the plan. The 2000 net pension expense includes a curtailment gain of $6,630 for this amendment. In March 2001, the Corporation partially settled this plan by purchasing approximately $600.0 million in annuities. This settlement reduced the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets by $608,323 and $611,057, respectively, and resulted in a settlement loss of $109,115. Pension expense for 2002 and 2001 on the unsettled portion of the plan was calculated using a discount rate and rate of return on plan assets, which were based upon estimated market rates to settle the remaining portion of the plan. The Corporation anticipates settling the remainder of the plan upon receiving anticipated regulatory approval and expects to incur an additional settlement loss. Since the Corporation has no control over the timing of the regulatory approval, the amount of settlement loss cannot be determined.
During 2001, the Corporation purchased annuities to settle substantially all of the obligation under the United Kingdom pension plan. This settlement reduced the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets by $99,144.
In some subsidiaries, where either state or funded retirement plans exist, there are certain small supplementary unfunded plans. Pensionable service prior to establishing funded contributory retirement plans in other subsidiaries, covered by former discretionary non-contributory retirement plans, was assumed as a prior service obligation. In addition, the Corporation has supplemental retirement programs for certain senior executives. These unfunded pension obligations are included in other liabilities and include the unfunded portion of this prior service obligation and the supplementary unfunded plans.
All of the retirement plans are non-contributory. Retirement benefits are generally based on years of service and employees’ compensation during the last years of employment. At December 31, 2002, none of the United States or International plans’ assets and about 62% of the Canadian plan’s assets were held in equity securities with the remaining portion of the assets being mainly fixed income securities.

Only the savings plan in the United Kingdom requires Corporation contributions for all employees who are eligible to participate in the retirement plans. These annual contributions consist of a retirement savings benefit contributions ranging from 1% to 3% of annual eligible compensation depending upon age. For all savings plans, if an employee contribution is made, a portion of such contribution may be eligible for a contribution match by the Corporation. For 2002, the defined contribution savings plan expense was $8,745 (2001 — $6,913; 2000 — $4,667).

In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Corporation recorded a restructuring provision of $4,395 for workforce reduction of 154 employees, primarily related to the closure of a plant.
The 2001 restructuring plan was directed at streamlining the Corporation’s processes and significantly reducing its cost structure. The restructuring provision included $76,994 for severance and other termination benefits for 3,366 employees (substantially all employees were terminated by December 31, 2002), $52,041 for lease terminations, $9,200 for facility closings, $3,600 for onerous contracts and $700 for other incremental exit costs.
In the fourth quarter of 2002 and 2001, the Corporation reversed $5,245 and $12,856, respectively, of the restructuring reserve due to the favorable settlement of liabilities for obligations and future payments related to the disposition of the European and Asian forms business. The Corporation recorded a net reversal of $24,033 of

restructuring charges under the 1998 restructuring plan during the fourth quarter of 2000. In 2000, the reversals resulted from facility closing costs that were lower than originally estimated and subleasing these facilities on more favorable terms than originally estimated.
The reconciliation of the restructuring reserve at December 31, 2002, is as follows:
Balance at December 31, 2001 | Provision, Net | Cash Paid | Balance at December 31, 2002 | |||||||||||
Employee terminations | $ | 41,955 | $ | 4,395 | $ | (32,031 | ) | $ | 14,319 | |||||

$ | 126,673 | $ | (850 | ) | $ | (44,383 | ) | $ | 81,440 | |||||
The restructuring reserves classified as “other” of $67,121 at December 31, 2002, primarily consist of the estimated remaining payments related to lease terminations and facility closing costs. Payments on these lease obligations continue until 2010. Market conditions and the Corporation’s ability to sublease these properties may affect the ultimate charge related to its lease obligations. Any potential recovery or additional charge may affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of future periods. The Corporation anticipates that payments associated with employee terminations will be substantially completed by the end of 2003.
At December 31, 2002, the restructuring reserve includes approximately $63,769 and $13,286 related to the 2001 and 1998 restructuring plans, respectively, primarily related to lease payments.
During 2002, the Corporation recorded other charges of $16,746 associated with the redemption of $100 million of senior guaranteed notes and an executive separation of $9,202, included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Corporation recorded other charges as follows:

Included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses is a charge of $11,165 for the write-off of inventory and accounts receivable relating to exiting certain non-core businesses. The Corporation also recorded a net loss of $96,605 (of which $61,209 was included in cost of sales and $35,396 in selling, general and administrative expenses) associated with the partial settlement of the U.S. pension plan, which was curtailed as of December 31, 2000, and other cash charges of $4,816 included in selling, general and administrative expense. A charge of $11,617 related to the partial redemption of the $100.0 million of senior guaranteed notes and the conversion of the subordinated convertible debentures is included in debt settlement cost and $1,000 for legal and other professional fees is in selling, general and administrative expense.

impairments are included in depreciation and amortization. Asset impairments relate to write-offs of property, plant and equipment (see Note 5) and capitalized software (see Note 8). For the write-down of goodwill for non-core businesses to be disposed of, one non-core business was subsequently sold in 2001 and the other non-core business is being held for sale (see Note 16). A loss on disposition of non-core businesses of $4,014 and $928 for the write-down of investments were charged to investment and other income (see Note 7 and Note 16).
During 2000, the Corporation recorded net other charges of $20,913, related to non-cash charges of $34,717 for write-down of a non-core asset held for disposal and the impairment of a component of the ERP asset, both included in depreciation and amortization; loss on disposal of investment in JetForm Corporation of $8,474; the write-down of a permanently impaired investment of $3,500; and $4,885 of other charges. These charges were offset by the reversal of a restructuring reserve of $24,033 and a gain on the curtailment of the Corporation’s U.S. pension plan of $6,630.

MOORE CORPORATION LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
At December 31, 2002, the Corporation has tax loss carryforwards totaling $353.0 million. Of this amount, a valuation allowance has been recorded against $239.0 million. Of the $239.0 million, approximately $106.0 million expires between 2003 and 2012 and $133.0 million has no expiration. In addition, the Corporation has recorded a valuation allowance against approximately $55.0 million of temporary differences that are available for utilization in future years.
The 2002 difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate relates to lower tax rates in non-U.S. jurisdictions offset by the inability to recognize the tax benefit from certain foreign operating losses, combined with a partial reduction in the deferred tax valuation allowance (which is based on estimates of future taxable income), the resolution of an income tax refund, partially offset by required tax reserves. In 2001, the effective income tax benefit resulted from the partial recognition of operating losses.
The valuation allowance at December 31, 2002, relates to net operating losses generated in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe (which have limited carry-forward periods), and future deductible expense. The decrease (increase) in the valuation allowance of approximately $53.0 million and $(103.0) million for 2002 and 2001, respectively, primarily relates to amounts recorded against deferred tax assets in the United States.
The Corporation has reduced the valuation allowance for a portion of its deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that those assets will be realized.

At December 31, 2002, lease commitments require future payments as follows:

2004 | $ | 28,073 | |
2005 | $ | 21,238 | |
2006 | $ | 16,185 | |
2007 | $ | 12,564 | |
2008 and thereafter | $ | 36,669 |
Rent expense amounted to $52,137 in 2002 (2001 — $56,499; 2000 — $69,897).
22. Contingencies
At December 31, 2002, certain lawsuits and other claims were pending against the Corporation. While the outcome of these matters is subject to future resolution, management’s evaluation and analysis of such matters indicates that, individually and in the aggregate, the probable ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
The Corporation is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Corporation provides for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change and are not discounted. While it is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that the Corporation’s subsidiaries may undertake in the future, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a material adverse effect upon the results of operations or consolidated financial condition of the Corporation.
The Corporation has been identified as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at the Dover, New Hampshire Municipal Landfill, a United States Environmental Protection Agency Superfund Site. The Corporation has been participating with a group of approximately 26 other PRP’s to fund the study of and implement remedial activities at the site. Remediation at the site has been on-going and is anticipated to continue for at least several years. The total cost of the remedial activity was estimated to be approximately $26,000. The Corporation’s share is not expected to exceed $1,500. The Corporation believes that the reserves are sufficient based on the present facts and recent tests performed at this site.
As described in Note 3, the Corporation may be required to pay a termination fee of up to $27.5 million if the Corporation terminates its merger agreement with Wallace.
23. Financial Instruments
At December 31, 2002, the aggregate amount of forward exchange contracts used as hedges was approximately $13,600 (2001 — $13,700). Gains and losses from these contracts, for all years presented, were not significant.
The notional amount of interest rate swaps at December 31, 2002, use to hedge exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on the Term Loan B Facility was $150.0 million (see Note 10).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
The Corporation may be exposed to losses if the counterparties to the above contracts fail to perform. The Corporation manages this risk by dealing only with financially sound counterparties and by establishing dollar and term limits for each counterparty. The Corporation does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
24. Cash Flow Disclosure
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the following non-cash transactions are required to be disclosed for both Canadian and U.S. GAAP as follows:
Subordinated convertible debentures | $ | 71,506 | |
Inducement to certain debenture holders | 15,345 |
25. Differences Between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
The continued registration of the common shares of the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and listing of the shares on the NYSE require compliance with the integrated disclosure rules of the SEC.
The accounting policies in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in Canada are consistent in all material aspects with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) with the following exceptions.
Pensions and Postretirement Benefits
With the adoption of CICA Handbook Section 3461, Employee Future Benefits, effective January 1, 2000, there is no longer any difference in the method of accounting for these costs. However, the transitional rules for implementing the new Canadian standard continue to result in U.S. GAAP reporting differences. Under CICA Handbook Section 3461, all past net gains (losses), net assets and prior service costs were recognized as of the date of adoption. Under U.S. GAAP, net gains (losses), net assets and prior service costs which occurred before January 1, 2000 are recognized over the appropriate amortization period.
Statement of Cash Flows
For Canadian GAAP the Statements of Cash Flows discloses the net change in cash resources, which is defined as cash and cash equivalents less bank indebtedness. U.S. GAAP requires the disclosure of cash and cash equivalents. Under U.S. GAAP, net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for 2002, 2001, and 2000 would be $(10,962), $(66,315), and $18,451, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents are the same for both Canadian and U.S. GAAP.
Income Taxes
The liability method of accounting for income taxes is used for both Canadian and U.S. GAAP. However, under U.S. GAAP, temporary differences are tax effected at enacted rates, whereas under Canadian GAAP, temporary differences are tax effected using substantively enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse (see Note 18).

MOORE CORPORATION LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
U.S. GAAP requires net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities to be reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized, whereas under Canadian GAAP such investments are carried at cost with no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity. Under both Canadian and U.S. GAAP, impairments deemed to be other than temporary would be charged to earnings.
Stock Compensation
The adoption of CICA Handbook, Section 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments, reduced most prospective differences in accounting for these costs between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. The pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share under the fair value method of accounting for stock options will continue to differ as CICA Handbook Section 3870 is applicable for awards granted on or after January 1, 2002. For both Canadian and U.S. GAAP the Corporation uses the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options. Prior to CICA Handbook Section 3870, recognition of compensation expense was not required for the Corporation’s Series 1 Preference Share options, whereas under U.S. GAAP, the expense is measured at the fair value of the Preference Share options, less the amount the employee is required to pay, and is accrued over the vesting period.
In April 2002, the shareholders of the Corporation approved the amendment of the options to purchase Series 1 Preference Shares (the “Preference Shares”) to eliminate the cash-out provision and to make them exercisable for one common share per each Preference Share option. The exercise price and the number of Preference Share options remained unchanged. This amendment effectively made these options common share equivalents for diluted earnings per share computations. The transition rules for CICA Handbook Section 3870 required that these common share equivalents be considered outstanding as of the beginning of the year, whereas for U.S. GAAP purposes, these Preference Share options were not considered common share equivalents until amended. The difference in the weighted average common shares between Canadian and U.S. GAAP relates solely to the amendment of the Preference Share options.
Additionally, no compensation expense or pro forma compensation expense is required to be recognized in the current and future periods under Canadian GAAP pursuant to CICA Handbook Section 3870, whereas under U.S. GAAP, unearned compensation cost will be recognized over the remaining vesting period (through December 11, 2004) based on the intrinsic value of the option on the date of approval. Pro forma fair value compensation expense will also be recorded under U.S. GAAP for the Preference Shares commencing on the amendment date. Compensation expense under U.S. GAAP for 2002 and 2001, was $11,839 and $2,700, respectively. In accordance with the transition rules for CICA Handbook Section 3870, no compensation expense was recorded for the Preference Shares for Canadian GAAP.
Comprehensive Income
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130 requires disclosure of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the change in equity of the Corporation from transactions and other events other than those resulting from transactions with owners, and is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income. The components of other comprehensive income for the Corporation are unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments, change in fair value of derivatives and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no standard for reporting comprehensive income.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
For U.S. GAAP purposes the Corporation’s interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and changes in their fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no standard requiring the recognition of the fair value of derivatives through comprehensive income.
Foreign Currency Translation
Under U.S. GAAP, foreign currency translation gains or losses are only recognized on the sale or substantial liquidation of a foreign subsidiary. Under Canadian GAAP, a foreign currency gain or loss due to a partial liquidation is recognized in income.
Business Process Reengineering
Under U.S. GAAP, business process reengineering activities are expensed as incurred. Prior to October 28, 1998, Canadian GAAP permitted these costs to be capitalized or expensed. Subsequent to October 28, 1998, Canadian GAAP requires expensing these costs. Prior to October 28, 1998, the Corporation capitalized business process reengineering costs and classified them as computer software.
In 2000, certain deployment and training costs related to the implementation of the Corporation’s ERP system were expensed for U.S. GAAP purposes and capitalized for Canadian GAAP purposes. In those years, such expenses exceeded the amortization differential since the ERP system was not placed in service until 2000. In 2002 and 2001, the U.S. GAAP reconciling item for computer software relates solely to the amortization differential of the capitalized amounts.
Convertible Debentures
Canadian GAAP requires that a portion of the subordinated convertible debentures be classified as equity. The difference between the carrying amount of the debenture and contractual liability is amortized to earnings. U.S. GAAP requires classification of subordinated convertible debentures as a liability.
Under U.S. GAAP, when convertible debt is converted to equity securities pursuant to an inducement offer, the debtor is required to recognize in earnings, the fair value of all securities and other consideration transferred in excess of the fair value of the securities issuable in accordance with the original conversion terms. Under Canadian GAAP, the fair value of the securities issued is charged to retained earnings. Also under Canadian GAAP, certain other contingent consideration is not recognized until paid.
Under U.S. GAAP, when convertible debt is converted to equity securities, unamortized deferred debt issuance costs are charged to share capital. Under Canadian GAAP, these costs are charged to earnings.
The components of “Debt conversion costs” included in the U.S. GAAP reconciliation for 2001 are as follows:
Inducement shares issued | $ | (15,345 | ) | |
Deferred debt issuance costs | 10,396 | |||
Contingent consideration | (2,000 | ) | ||
Debt conversion costs | $ | (6,949 | ) | |

The value of the inducement shares represents the fair market value of 1,650,000 of the Corporation’s common shares and is based upon the closing price of these shares on the NYSE on December 28, 2001, the date the shares were issued. For Canadian GAAP purposes, the fair value of the inducement shares was charged to equity and additionally shown on the statement of operations as a reduction to the amount available to common shareholders in the calculation of earnings per share. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the fair value of the inducement shares was recognized as an increase to share capital and recognized as a charge to earnings for the period. The deferred debt issuance costs represent the unamortized balance of the deferred issuance costs related to the convertible debentures at conversion. For Canadian GAAP purposes, these costs were recognized in earnings for the period, whereas for U.S. GAAP purposes, these costs were recorded as a component of share capital. The contingent consideration represents the right granted with the inducement shares for the holder to potentially receive additional consideration in the future based on the 20-day weighted average share price of the Corporation’s stock at December 31, 2002 and 2003 (see Note 10). For Canadian GAAP purposes, to the extent that any stock or cash is paid, it will be recorded as a charge to retained earnings. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the fair value of this contingent consideration is recognized in earnings and recorded at fair market value in subsequent reporting periods. The fair value of the consideration was based upon an independent third party valuation using an option pricing valuation model that includes, but is not limited to the following factors: the Corporation’s stock price volatility; cost of borrowings; and certain equity valuation multiples.
Settlements of Pension Plans
Under U.S. GAAP, a gain or loss arising upon the settlement of a pension plan is only recognized once responsibility for the pension obligation has been relieved. Under Canadian GAAP, prior to January 1, 2000, an intention to settle or curtail a pension plan that was expected to result in a loss, required recognition once the amount was likely and could be reasonably estimated.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, the costs related to the early extinguishment of debt are classified as an extraordinary item. On September 4, 2002, the Corporation redeemed $100.0 million of the senior guaranteed notes at a redemption price that includes a net prepayment charge of $16,746 or $10,215 net of taxes. Net earnings before extraordinary items for 2002 is $93,993. Basic and diluted earnings per share before extraordinary items for 2002 are $0.84 and $0.83, respectively.
Gains and (losses) on the disposal of property, plant and equipment for 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $8,730, $(792) and $(2,630), respectively. For U.S. GAAP purposes these amounts are recorded in income from operations.
Interest expense is net of investment income of $1,843, $2,895 and $4,545 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

26. Pending Accounting Standards
In May 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS 145”). Among other things, under the provision of SFAS 145, gains and losses from the early extinguishment of debt are no longer classified as an extraordinary item, net of income taxes, but are included in the determination of pretax earnings. The effective date for SFAS 145 is for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. Upon adoption, all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt previously reported as an extraordinary item shall be reclassified to pretax earnings. It is anticipated that the adoption of SFAS 145 will have no impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS 146”). This statement addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) has set forth in EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The principal difference between SFAS 146 and EITF 94-3 is that SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred versus the EITF 94-3 where a liability was recognized on the date an entity committed to an exit plan. SFAS 146 is effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.
In January 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). The Statement provides alternative methods of transitioning to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Also, this Statement amends the previous disclosure requirements to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This interpretation expands the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees and requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. In general, FIN 45 applies to contracts or indemnification agreements that
F-41
Table of Contents
MOORE CORPORATION LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying that is related to an asset, liability, or equity security of the guaranteed party. Certain guarantee contracts are excluded from both the disclosure and recognition requirements of this interpretation. Other guarantees are subject to the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 but not to the recognition provisions and include, among others, a guarantee accounted for as a derivative instrument under SFAS 133. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for the Corporation as of December 31, 2002, and require disclosure of the nature of the guarantee, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make under the guarantee, and the current amount of the liability, if any, for the guarantor’s obligations under the guarantee. The recognition requirements of FIN 45 are to be applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Significant guarantees that have been entered into by the Corporation are disclosed in Note 10. The Corporation does not expect the requirements of FIN 45 to have a material impact on results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
In 2002, the CICA Handbook Sections 3063, Impairment of Long Lived Assets, and 3475, Disposal of Long Lived Assets and Discontinued Operations, were issued to harmonize with SFAS No. 144. The standards will require an impairment loss to be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset held for use exceeds the sum of undiscounted cash flows. The impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. An asset held for sale is to be measured at the lower of carrying cost or fair value less cost to sell. In addition, this guidance broadens the concept of a discontinued operations and eliminates the ability to accrue operating losses expected between the measurement date and the disposal date. CICA Section 3063 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2003, and CICA Section 3475 applies to disposal activities initiated by an enterprise’s commitment to a plan on or after May 1, 2003. The sections will be applied prospectively with early adoption encouraged.
In 2002, the Accounting Standards Board of the CICA issued Accounting Guidelines No. 13 that increases the documentation, designation and effectiveness criteria to achieve hedge accounting. The guideline requires the discontinuance of hedge accounting for hedging relationships established that do not meet the conditions at the date it is first applied. It does not change the method of accounting for derivatives in hedging relationships, but requires fair value accounting for derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The new guideline is applicable for fiscal years commencing July 1, 2003. The Corporation is evaluating the impact this standard might have on its results of operations and financial position.
27. Subsequent Event
On May 15, 2003, the Corporation acquired all the outstanding shares of Wallace in exchange for consideration of $14.40 in cash and 1.05 shares of the Corporation for each outstanding share of Wallace. The aggregate consideration to the Wallace shareholders was $1.1 billion and was comprised of a cash payment of $609.7 million and 44,458,825 common shares of the Corporation with a fair value of $471.7 million. The fair value of the Corporation’s shares was based upon the actual number of shares issued to the Wallace shareholders using the average closing trading price of the Corporation’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) during a five-day trading period beginning two days prior to the announcement of the merger agreement on January 17, 2003. The total purchase price of $1.3 billion also included $218.2 million for the settlement of Wallace debt and other liabilities, and direct acquisition costs to date of $19 million.
The transaction was recorded by allocating the cost of the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of the Acquisition over the net of amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed

was recorded as goodwill. Based on the Corporation’s preliminary independent valuation, which is subject to further refinement, the purchase price was allocated as follows:
Accounts receivable | $ | 238,321 | ||

Deferred taxes — net | (131,306 | ) | ||
Other long-term liabilities | (19,031 | ) | ||
Total purchase price — net of cash acquired | $ | 1,318,651 | ||
In March 2003, the Corporation entered into an $850.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “New Facility”) in connection with the Acquisition. The New Facility consists of a seven-year $500.0 million B Term Loan, which was funded into escrow until the consummation of the Acquisition on May 15, 2003, and a five-year $350.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. The loans under the New Facility bear interest based on a variable index (LIBOR), plus an applicable margin. The New Facility replaced the Corporation’s $400.0 million senior secured credit facility. The Corporation subsequently entered into an agreement with the lender of its New Facility in August 2003 to amend the New Facility to reduce the applicable margin.
Concurrently, in March 2003, the Corporation issued $403.0 million of 7 7/8% senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) due 2011 at a $2.8 million discount to the principal amount. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2003. The Corporation, at its option, may redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes prior to January 15, 2006, at a predetermined redemption price with the proceeds of certain equity offerings. In addition, subsequent to January 15, 2007, the Senior Notes may be redeemed at predetermined redemption prices. On or prior to January 15, 2007, the Corporation may also redeem the Senior Notes upon a change of control, at a price equal to 100% of the principal plus an applicable premium.
28. Supplemental Consolidating Financial Information
Moore North America Finance Inc (“Finance Inc.”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Parent”) is the issuer of the Senior Notes. The Parent and certain of the Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”) have guaranteed Finance Inc.’s obligation under the Senior Notes. The Guarantees are joint and several, full, complete and unconditional. Other wholly owned subsidiaries of the Corporation (“Non-guarantor Subsidiaries”) have not guaranteed the obligation under the Senior Notes.
The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial data illustrates, in separate columns, the composition of the Parent, Finance Inc., Guarantor Subsidiaries, Non-guarantor Subsidiaries, eliminations, and the consolidated total.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the equity method for purposes of the supplemental condensed consolidating financial data. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The financial data may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the subsidiaries been operated as independent entities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except per share data)
1. Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by Moore Wallace Incorporated (the “Corporation”), formerly Moore Corporation Limited (“Moore”), in accordance with the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 1751 — Interim Financial Statements. As permitted by these standards, these interim financial statements do not include all information required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be included in annual financial statements. However, the Corporation considers that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation. Comparative figures have been reclassified where appropriate to conform to the current presentation. Net sales and net earnings for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.
On May 15, 2003, the Corporation acquired all the outstanding shares of Wallace Computer Services, Inc. (“Wallace”), a leading provider of printed products and print management services (see Note 3). The Corporation’s results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 include the results of Wallace from May 15, 2003 (“the acquisition date”). The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change, based upon the determination and receipt of additional information, including the finalization of the fair value of real and personal property acquired and the recognition of certain liabilities in connection with the acquisition.
The consolidated interim financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with Canadian GAAP, and include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included.
These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in each of Moore’s and Wallace’s latest Annual Reports on Form 10-K filed on February 13, 2003 and October 23, 2002, respectively.
In June 2003 the CICA issued Accounting Guideline AcG-15, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“AcG-15”). This guideline addresses consolidation by business enterprises of certain variable interest entities where there is a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity or where the variable interest does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. AcG-15 is effective for both new and pre-existing entities to annual and interim periods beginning on or after November 1, 2004. The Corporation is assessing the impact, if any, of the adoption of ACG-15 on the results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation.

MOORE WALLACE INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
3. Acquisition
On May 15, 2003, the Corporation acquired all the outstanding shares of Wallace, a leading provider of printed products and print management services, in exchange for consideration of $14.40 in cash and 1.05 shares of the Corporation for each outstanding share of Wallace. Management believes the acquisition of Wallace (the “Acquisition”) will enhance the Corporation’s combined competitive position within the industry and establish the Corporation as a leading provider of integrated print management services across multiple industries. Management also believes the Acquisition will enable the Corporation to improve profitability, achieve significant cost synergies, leverage complementary products and services and augment cross-selling opportunities across a more diverse platform. The aggregate consideration to the Wallace shareholders was $1.1 billion and was comprised of a cash payment of $609.7 million and 44,458,825 common shares of the Corporation with a fair value of $471.7 million. The fair value of the Corporation’s shares was based upon the actual number of shares issued to the Wallace shareholders using the average closing trading price of the Corporation’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) during a five-day trading period beginning two days prior to the announcement of the merger agreement on January 17, 2003. The total purchase price of $1.3 billion also included $218.2 million for the settlement of Wallace debt and other liabilities, and direct acquisition costs to date of $19.9 million.
The transaction was recorded by allocating the cost of the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of the Acquisition over the net of amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. Based on the Corporation’s preliminary independent valuation, which is subject to further refinement, the purchase price was allocated as follows:
Accounts receivable | $ | 238,321 | ||
Inventory | 137,562 | |||
Customer backlog | 3,790 | |||
Other current assets | 13,350 | |||

5. Debt
In March 2003, the Corporation entered into an $850.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “New Facility”) in connection with the Acquisition. The New Facility consists of a seven-year $500.0 million B Term Loan, which was funded in escrow until the Acquisition, and a five-year $350.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, each of which are subject to a number of restrictive and financial covenants that, in part, limit additional indebtedness and the ability of the Corporation to engage in certain transactions with affiliates, create liens on assets, engage in mergers and consolidations, or dispose of assets. The financial covenants are calculated quarterly and include, in part, tests of leverage and interest coverage.
The loans under the New Facility bear interest based on a variable index (LIBOR), plus an applicable margin. On August 5, 2003, the Corporation entered into an agreement with the lenders of the New Facility to amend the New Facility to reduce the basis point spread. The New Facility replaced the Corporation’s $400.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “Existing Facility”). At September 30, 2003, $498.8 million is outstanding under the New Facility.
Also, in March 2003, the Corporation issued $403.0 million of 7 7/8% senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) due 2011 at a $2.8 million discount to the principal amount. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, and commenced on July 15, 2003. The proceeds from the Senior Notes, along with $16.0 million in prepaid interest through September 15, 2003, were held in escrow until the Acquisition. The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit additional indebtedness and the Corporation’s ability to engage in certain transactions with affiliates, create liens on assets, engage in mergers and consolidations, or dispose of assets. The Corporation, at its option, may redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes prior to January 15, 2006, at a predetermined redemption price with the proceeds of certain equity offerings. In addition, subsequent to January 15, 2007, the Senior Notes may be redeemed at predetermined redemption prices. On or prior to January 15, 2007, the Corporation may also redeem the Senior Notes upon a change of control, at a price equal to 100% of the principal plus an applicable premium.
In August 2002, the Corporation entered into the Existing Facility which is comprised of a five-year $125.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, a five-year $75.0 million Delayed Draw Term Loan A Facility, and a six-year $200.0 million Term Loan B Facility. On September 4, 2002, with proceeds from the Term Loan B Facility, the Corporation redeemed $100.0 million of senior guaranteed notes and incurred a net prepayment charge of $16.7 million. At December 31, 2002, $179.5 million was outstanding under this facility.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, interest expense includes the following acquisition related items: pre-acquisition interest expense of $10.7 million; the write-off of deferred financing fees of $7.5 million; interest income of $1.3 million on aforementioned proceeds held in escrow; and $4.0 million of bridge financing fees.

MOORE WALLACE INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
As a result of replacing the Existing Facility, the Corporation recorded a charge of $5.2 million during the second quarter for the fair value on $150.0 million notional amount fixed rate interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of the variable interest on the Existing Facility. The $5.2 million liability resulting from this charge will be ratably reduced and recorded as income over the remaining term of the swaps. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, investment and other income (expense) includes $0.7 million of income, related to the reduction of this liability. These swap agreements exchange the variable interest rates (LIBOR) for fixed interest rates over the terms of the agreements. The Corporation has designated these swaps as cash flow hedges of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest payments. The Corporation entered into an additional $250.0 million notional amount fixed rate interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest payments. These swaps, which begin accruing interest on October 7, 2003, exchange the LIBOR interest on the New Facility to fixed rate interest over the term of the swaps. At September 30, 2003, the $400.0 million notional amount fixed interest rate swaps outstanding had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.29% and their fair market value was a $5.8 million liability.
The Corporation has also entered into $250.0 million notional amount interest rate swaps that exchange the fixed rate interest on the Senior Notes to floating rate six-month LIBOR plus a basis point spread. The swaps are designated as a fair value hedge against $250.0 million of principal on the Senior Notes and mature January 2011. At September 30, 2003, the fair market value of these floating rate swaps was an $11.1 million liability.
The interest rate differential received or paid on both the cash flow and fair value hedges is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.
The Corporation had approximately $43.0 million in outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2003, of which $23.7 million were issued against the $350.0 million Revolving Credit Facility.
6. Restructuring and Restructuring Related Charges
During 2003, in connection with the Acquisition, management approved and initiated plans to restructure the operations of both Wallace and Moore (“restructuring plans”) to eliminate certain duplicative functions, to close certain facilities and to dispose of redundant software systems, underutilized assets and real estate holdings in order to reduce the combined cost structure of the organization. As a result, the Corporation accrued approximately $12.8 million of costs to exit certain Wallace activities, such as severance, costs of vacating redundant facilities (leased or owned) and other costs associated with exiting these activities. These costs are recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination and are included in the allocation of the cost to acquire Wallace and are included in goodwill (see Note 3). The Corporation accrued $10.6 million and $13.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, of similar restructuring costs in connection with exiting of certain Moore activities. These costs have been included as a charge to the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003.
The restructuring charges recorded are based on the aforementioned restructuring plans that have been committed to by management and are in part based upon management’s best estimates of future events. Changes to the estimates could require adjustments to the restructuring liabilities. Adjustments to the Wallace restructuring liability will be recorded through goodwill during the allocation period and adjustments to other restructuring liabilities would be reflected in the results of operations.

$ | 7,063 | $ | 3,570 | $ | 10,633 | $ | 10,359 | $ | 3,580 | $ | 13,939 | |||||||
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Corporation recorded a restructuring provision of $7.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively, for workforce reductions (289 and 330 employees, respectively) primarily related to the closure of several plants and the elimination of duplicative corporate administrative functions resulting from the Acquisition, as well as $3.6 million of other charges for lease termination and facility closing costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the net restructuring provision includes the reversal of $1.6 million of restructuring reserves related to its 2001 program due to favorable settlements of liabilities for obligations and future payments primarily related to the European operations within the Commercial segment. No reversals were made during the three months ended September 30, 2003.
There was no restructuring provision recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Restructuring Costs Capitalized as a Cost of Acquisition
At September 30, 2003, the $12.8 million in costs that were accrued in connection with restructuring Wallace, and recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination and included in the allocation of the cost to acquire Wallace, relate to workforce reductions of 684 employees for the plant closures and elimination of certain duplicative corporate administrative functions.
The reconciliation of the restructuring reserve as of September 30, 2003 is as follows:
Balance at December 31, 2002 | Restructuring Provision—Net | Capitalized Restructuring Costs | Cash Paid | Balance at September 30, 2003 | ||||||||||||
Employee terminations | $ | 14,319 | $ | 10,022 | $ | 11,521 | $ | (14,965 | ) | $ | 20,897 | |||||
Other | 67,121 | 2,308 | 1,269 | (8,387 | ) | 62,311 | ||||||||||
$ | 81,440 | $ | 12,330 | $ | 12,790 | $ | (23,352 | ) | $ | 83,208 | ||||||
The restructuring reserves classified as “other” primarily consist of the estimated remaining payments related to lease terminations and facility closing costs. Payments on these lease obligations are scheduled to continue until 2010. Market conditions and the Corporation’s ability to sublease these properties may affect the ultimate charge related to its lease obligations. Any potential recovery or additional charge may affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of future periods. The Corporation anticipates that payments associated with employee terminations will be substantially completed by the end of 2003.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Restructuring Related Charges
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Corporation recorded in the Forms and Label Segment, a charge of $1.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for asset impairments associated with the disposal of machinery and equipment and the disposal of redundant enterprise software systems as a result of the Acquisition.
7. Income Taxes
The difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate relates to lower tax rates in non-U.S. jurisdictions combined with a reduction of the deferred tax valuation allowance, which is based on management’s best estimate of the amount of deferred tax assets that will more likely than not be realized. The 2003 rate was also affected by a loss generated in the U.S. as a result of expenses incurred from the Acquisition. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the valuation allowance was reduced $1.2 million and $41.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, the valuation allowance was reduced by $6.7 million and $42.8 million, respectively.
8. Assets Held for Disposition
In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Corporation classified a non-core business as an asset held for disposition and the carrying value was adjusted to its net recoverable amount. Included in the results of the Commercial segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are net sales relating to this business of $49.5 million and $150.4 million, respectively, and $49.0 million and $148.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, income from operations relating to this business was $2.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively, and $2.9 million and $9.1 million, respectively.
9. Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP
The following summarizes the significant accounting differences between Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) that result in the differences disclosed in the U.S. GAAP reconciliation.
Pensions and Postretirement Benefits
The adoption of CICA Handbook Section 3461, Employee Future Benefits, on January 1, 2000, eliminated any material difference in the method of accounting for these costs. However, the transition rules for the implementation of this Canadian standard continue to result in a U.S. GAAP reporting difference. Under CICA Handbook Section 3461, all past net gains (losses), net assets and prior service costs were recognized as of the date of adoption. Under U.S. GAAP, net gains (losses), net assets and prior service costs which occurred before January 1, 2000 are recognized over the appropriate amortization period.
Statement of Cash Flows
The Statements of Cash Flows for Canadian GAAP disclose the net change in cash resources, which is defined as cash and cash equivalents less bank indebtedness. U.S. GAAP requires the disclosure of the net change in cash and cash equivalents. Under U.S. GAAP, net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 is $742.0 million and $20.1 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents are the same for both Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP.
F-62
Table of Contents
MOORE WALLACE INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Income Taxes
The liability method of accounting for income taxes is used for both Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. However, under U.S. GAAP, temporary differences are tax effected at enacted rates, whereas under Canadian GAAP, temporary differences are tax effected using substantively enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. For all periods presented, the tax rates used are the same for both Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP.
Stock Compensation
The adoption of CICA Handbook, Section 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments, reduced most prospective differences in accounting for these costs between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. The pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share under the fair value method of accounting for stock options will continue to differ as CICA Handbook Section 3870 is applicable for awards granted on or after January 1, 2002. For both Canadian and U.S. GAAP, the Corporation uses the intrinsic value method for accounting for stock options. Prior to CICA Handbook Section 3870, recognition of compensation expense was not required for the Corporation’s Series 1 Preference Share options, whereas under U.S. GAAP, the expense is measured at the fair value of the Preference Share options, less the amount the employee is required to pay, and is accrued over the vesting period.
In April 2002, the shareholders of the Corporation approved the amendment of the options to purchase Series 1 Preference Shares (“Preference Shares”) to eliminate the cash-out provision and to make them exercisable for one common share per each Preference Share option. The exercise price and the number of Preference Share options remained unchanged. This amendment effectively made these options common share equivalents for diluted earnings per share computations. The transition rules for CICA Handbook Section 3870 required that these common share equivalents be considered outstanding as of the beginning of the year, whereas for U.S. GAAP purposes, these Preference Share options were not considered common share equivalents until amended. The difference in the diluted weighted average common shares between Canadian and U.S. GAAP relates solely to the Preference Share options.
Additionally, no compensation expense or pro forma compensation expense is required to be recognized in the current and future periods under Canadian GAAP pursuant to CICA Handbook Section 3870, whereas under U.S. GAAP, unearned compensation cost will be recognized over the remaining vesting period (through December 11, 2004) based on the intrinsic value of the options on the date of approval. Pro forma fair value compensation expense will also be recorded under U.S. GAAP for the Preference Shares commencing on the amendment date. In accordance with the transition rules for CICA Handbook Section 3870, no compensation expense was recorded for the Preference Shares for Canadian GAAP.
Comprehensive Income
U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the change in equity of the Corporation from transactions and other events other than those resulting from transactions with owners, and is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income. The components of other comprehensive income for the Corporation are unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments and the change in fair value of derivatives. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no standard for reporting comprehensive income.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
For U.S. GAAP purposes the changes in the fair value of the Corporation’s interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income. For U.S. GAAP purposes the
F-63
Table of Contents
MOORE WALLACE INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
changes in the fair value of the Corporation’s interest rate swaps that are designated as fair value hedges are recorded as an adjustment to the Senior Notes. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no standard requiring the recognition of the fair value of derivatives either through comprehensive income or the hedged item.
Foreign Currency Translation
Under U.S. GAAP, foreign currency translation gains or losses are only recognized on the sale or substantial liquidation of a foreign subsidiary. Under Canadian GAAP, a foreign currency gain or loss due to a partial liquidation is recognized in income.
Business Process Reengineering
Under U.S. GAAP, business process reengineering activities are expensed as incurred. Prior to October 28, 1998, Canadian GAAP permitted these costs to be capitalized or expensed. Subsequent to October 28, 1998, Canadian GAAP requires the cost of business process reengineering activities to be expensed as incurred. Prior to October 28, 1998, the Corporation capitalized business process reengineering costs and classified them as computer software. As a result, computer software under Canadian GAAP exceeds the amount capitalized under U.S. GAAP.
Convertible Debentures
The debt conversion costs relate to the December 28, 2001 induced conversion of the Corporation’s subordinated convertible debentures and more specifically represent the right granted with the inducement shares for the holder to potentially receive additional consideration in the future based on the 20-day weighted average share price of the Corporation’s share at December 31, 2002 and 2003. For Canadian GAAP purposes, to the extent that any shares or cash is paid, it will be recorded as a charge to retained earnings. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the fair value of this contingent consideration is recognized in earnings and recorded at fair market value. The fair value of the consideration is based upon an independent third party valuation using an option pricing valuation model that includes, but is not limited to, the following factors: the Corporation’s share price volatility; cost of borrowings; and certain equity valuation multiples.
Changes in Accounting Policies
In the first quarter of 2003, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS 145”). Among other things, under the provision of SFAS 145, gains and losses from the early extinguishment of debt are no longer classified as an extraordinary item, net of income taxes, but are included in the determination of pretax earnings. The effective date for SFAS 145 is for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. Upon adoption, all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt previously reported as an extraordinary item shall be reclassified to pretax earnings. The adoption of SFAS 145 had no impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
In the first quarter of 2003, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS 146”). This statement addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) has set forth in EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and
F-64
Table of Contents
MOORE WALLACE INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The principal difference between SFAS 146 and EITF 94-3 is that SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred versus EITF 94-3 where a liability was recognized on the date an entity committed to an exit plan. SFAS 146 is effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of SFAS No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). In particular, it clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, amends the definition of an underlying, and amends certain other existing pronouncements. SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 149 had no material impact on the results of operation or financial condition.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements. The remaining provisions of this Statement are consistent with the proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity shares, depending on the nature of the relationship established between the holder and the issuer. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 had no material impact on the results of operations or financial condition.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”). This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of certain variable interest entities where there is a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity or where the variable interest does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Corporation is assessing the impact, if any, of the adoption of FIN 46 on the results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation.

10. Segment Information
The Corporation operates in the printing industry with three distinct operating segments based on the way management assesses information on a regular basis for decision-making purposes. The three segments are Forms and Labels, Outsourcing and Commercial. These segments market print and print related products and services to a geographically diverse customer base. Management has aggregated divisions within the reportable segments due to strong similarities in the economic characteristics, nature of products and services, production processes, class of customer and distribution methods used.
Wallace historically operated in two operating segments, Forms and Labels and Integrated Graphics. The principal products within the Forms and Labels segment included paper-based forms, electronic data processing and packaging labels and a standard line of office products. The principal products within the Integrated Graphics segment included commercial print and direct mail. The Corporation has classified the Wallace Forms and Labels operations within the Forms and Labels segment and the Integrated Graphics operations within the Commercial segment. The segment information in the table below includes Wallace from the acquisition date.
As a result of acquiring the remaining interest in Quality Color Press, Inc. in May 2002, management has reclassified this business from the Commercial segment to the Forms and Labels segment.

11. Contingencies
At September 30, 2003, certain lawsuits and other claims and assessments were pending against the Corporation. While the outcome of these matters is subject to future resolution, management’s evaluation and analysis of such matters indicates that, individually and in the aggregate, the probable ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
The Corporation is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Corporation provides for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change and are not discounted. While it is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that the Corporation’s subsidiaries may undertake in the future, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a material adverse effect upon the results of operations or consolidated financial condition of the Corporation.
The Corporation has been identified as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at the Dover, New Hampshire Municipal Landfill, a United States Environmental Protection Agency Superfund Site. The

Corporation has been participating with a group of approximately 26 other PRP’s to fund the study of and implement remedial activities at the site. Remediation at the site has been on-going and is anticipated to continue for at least several years. The total cost of the remedial activity was estimated to be approximately $26.0 million. The Corporation’s share is not expected to exceed $1.5 million. The Corporation believes that its reserves are sufficient based on the present facts and recent tests performed at this site.

13. Supplemental Consolidating Financial Information
Moore North America Finance Inc. (“Finance Inc.”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Parent”), is the issuer of the Senior Notes. The Parent and certain of the Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”) have guaranteed Finance Inc.’s obligation under the Senior Notes. The guarantees are joint and several, full, complete and unconditional. Other wholly owned subsidiaries of the Corporation (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) have not guaranteed the obligation under the Senior Notes.
The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial data illustrate, in separate columns, the composition of the Parent, Finance Inc., Guarantor Subsidiaries, Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, eliminations, and the consolidated total.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the equity method for purposes of the supplemental condensed consolidating financial information. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the subsidiaries been operated as independent entities.

14. Subsequent Event
During 2000, the Corporation amended the United States pension plan ( the “Plan”) to cease all benefit accruals and announced its intention to terminate and wind-up the Plan. In April 2001, the Plan was further amended to terminate effective June 2001. Upon termination the Corporation sought a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to the Plan’s tax qualification status. The terms of the April 2001 Plan amendment made the receipt of the IRS determination letter a prerequisite to the wind-up of the Plan and the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
distribution of the Plan assets. The IRS has imposed a moratorium on issuing such determination letters. Due to the uncertainty regarding the receipt of the determination letter and the effect such uncertainty has on the Corporation’s ability to effectively manage the Plan’s assets, on October 15, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Corporation resolved to take the steps necessary to revoke the amendment terminating the Plan. The Plan, as restored, remains frozen and will continue with no further benefit accruals.
Proposed Combination
On November 8, 2003, the Corporation entered into a combination agreement with R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (“Donnelley”) under which each common share of the Corporation will be exchanged for 0.63 of a share of common stock of Donnelley. The transaction was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both the Corporation and Donnelley, but remains subject to closing conditions that include, among others, receipt of required approval from the Corporation’s and Donnelley’s shareholders, required regulatory approvals and Ontario Superior Court of Justice approval of a plan of arrangement. The transaction may not be completed if any of the closing conditions are not satisfied. If approved, the transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2004.

R.R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of R.R. Donnelley & Sons and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the company). Minority interests in the income (loss) of consolidated subsidiaries of $0.7 million, ($0.1) million, and $0.2 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of income. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Nature of Operations—The company provides a wide variety of print and print-related services and products for customers. The company also provides logistics and distribution services for its print customers and other mailers. Approximately 60% of the company’s business was under contract in 2002. Some contracts provide for progress payments from customers as certain phases of the work are completed; however, revenue is not recognized until the earnings process has been completed in accordance with the terms of the contracts. Some customers furnish paper for their work, while in other cases the company purchases the paper and resells it to the customer.
Foreign Operations—Foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates during the respective periods.
Revenue Recognition—The company recognizes print revenue when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. Contracts typically specify F.O.B. shipping point terms. The company recognizes revenue upon final shipment for a print job and not on a partial shipment basis. For most print jobs, it is common for customers to inspect the quality of the product at company facilities up to and including at the time of shipment. The company’s products are not shipped subject to any contractual right of return provisions. Absent specific contract terms, the company recognizes revenue upon final delivery of the product or upon completion of the service performed.
Revenues related to the company’s Premedia Technologies operations, which include digital content management such as photography, color services and page production, are recognized in accordance with the terms of the contract, typically upon shipment of the completed product if sold as a part of a final printed product, or once the service has been performed and accepted by the customer if sold separately (e.g., digital photography). With respect to Donnelley Logistics, whose operations include the delivery of packages and printed material, the company recognizes revenue upon completion of the delivery services it provides.
Cash and Equivalents—The company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Receivables—Receivables primarily include trade receivables, notes receivable and miscellaneous receivables from suppliers.
Inventories—Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of approximately 80% of the inventories at December 31, 2002 and 2001 has been determined using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method. This method reflects the effect of inventory replacement costs in earnings; accordingly, charges to cost of sales reflect recent costs of material, labor and factory overhead. The remaining inventories are valued using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) or specific identification methods.

R.R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Long-lived Assets—Long-lived assets are comprised primarily of property, plant and equipment and certain identifiable intangible assets, other than goodwill.
The company is required to assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based upon the most recent information available. Estimated fair market value is generally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows developed by the company’s management. Long-lived assets other than goodwill and intangible assets that are held for disposal are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the fair market value less the estimated cost to sell.
The company’s investments in affordable housing, which are included in other noncurrent assets, are recorded at cost, as adjusted for any declines in the fair value of the underlying properties that are deemed to be other than temporary. Based on its ownership percentages and inability to exercise significant influence, the company accounts for its investments in affordable housing under the cost method. The company determines its estimates of fair value using remaining future tax credits to be received and expected residual values upon sale or disposition of its ownership interests. Expected residual values are developed from industry assumptions and cash flow projections provided by the underlying partnerships, which include certain assumptions with respect to operating costs, debt levels and certain market data related to the properties such as assumed vacancy rates.
Property, plant and equipment—Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated primarily on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from 15 to 33 years for buildings and from three to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls that extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized. When properties are retired or disposed, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in income.
Goodwill—In accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the company ceased amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill is now reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The review is a two-step process beginning with an estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit. The first step is a screen for impairment and the second step measures the amount of any impairment. The fair value amounts are determined by discounting future cash flows of the reporting unit as developed by management.
Financial Instruments and Interest Rate Swaps—From time to time, the company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate mix and overall cost of borrowing. Any differences paid or received on interest rate swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense over the life of each swap, thereby adjusting the effective interest rate on the underlying obligation. The company does not use interest rate swaps or other derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Stock-Based Compensation—The company has stock-based employee compensation plans which are described more fully in Note 15,“Stock and Incentive Programs for Employees,” to the consolidated financial statements. The company accounts for stock-based compensation by applying Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as allowed under SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The company uses the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock-based awards; additionally, no stock-based employee compensation cost for options is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The company bases its estimates on historical experience, actuarial valuations and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While for any given estimate or assumption made by the company’s management there may be other estimates or assumptions that are reasonable, the company believes that, given the current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any such other reasonable estimate or assumption would materially impact the financial statements.
Comprehensive Income—Under SFAS No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income,comprehensive income for the company consists of net income, minimum pension liability adjustments and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity on page F-5.
Reclassifications—Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.
Note 2. Divestitures
In June 2002, the company recorded a pretax gain of $6 million ($6 million after-tax, or $0.06 per diluted share) upon collection of a note receivable that had been previously reserved in connection with the sale of Modus Media International (MMI) in 1999.
In November 2001, the company sold its remaining investment in the common stock of Stream International (Stream) for approximately $10 million in cash. The company recognized a pretax gain of $7 million ($7 million after-tax or $0.05 per diluted share) from this transaction.
In June 2000, the company sold its 100% interest in R.R. Donnelley (India) Ltd. and its 25.37%-owned subsidiary, Tata Donnelley Limited, to Tata Sons Limited for approximately $13 million in cash; there was no gain or loss recognized from this transaction.
Note 3. Acquisitions and Investments
We made no business acquisitions in 2002 or 2001.
During February 2000, the company acquired certain net assets of CTC Distribution Services L.L.C. (CTC or package logistics), one of the largest shippers of business-to-home packages in the U.S., for approximately $160 million, net of cash acquired. CTC, formerly headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has 18 facilities nationwide. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price has been allocated based upon fair values at the date of the acquisition. Goodwill from this transaction was $153 million.
During 2000, the company made several business acquisitions to extend its geographic reach and expand its range of capabilities. Within the Donnelley Print Solutions segment, in January 2000, the company acquired Omega Studios–Southwest, Inc., a photography studio offering digital photography and creative services. In February 2000, the company acquired Iridio, Inc., a Seattle-based full-services premedia company. Both of these acquisitions are included within the company’s Premedia Technologies operations. During February 2000, the company also acquired EVACO Inc., a Florida-based financial printer, included within Financial Services in the
F-85

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Other segment. In July 2000, the company acquired Circulo do Livro, a Brazilian book printer, included within the company’s International operations in the Other segment. All of these acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. During 2000, the company also acquired minority interests in an Internet communications services company and in several start-up businesses. Excluding CTC, the aggregate cost of these acquisitions and investments in 2000 was $57 million. Upon finalization of the purchase price allocation, these acquisitions and investments resulted in goodwill of $22 million.
Prior to 1996, the company acquired certain ownership interests in 26 investment level partnerships, which in turn held varying ownership percentage interests in limited partnerships that invested in affordable housing (properties that met the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requirements for low-income housing tax credits). The company’s total gross investment in affordable housing was approximately $160 million. Under the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, companies that invested in affordable housing were to receive certain tax credits over a 10-year period, a portion of which was subject to recapture if a company did not retain its investments for a minimum holding period (typically 15 years). These tax credits were provided as a legislative economic incentive to encourage companies to invest in properties dedicated and restricted to lower-income tenants for the 15-year holding period. The company intends to maintain its investments in affordable housing for the qualifying 15-year holding periods, which begin to expire in 2008. The company’s expected recovery of its investment in affordable housing is based on the future tax credits to be received and the estimated residual value of the properties. Residual value represents what the company expects to realize upon either sale of the underlying properties or the refinancing of the partnership interests at the end of the requisite holding periods.
During 2002, the company recorded a non-operating pretax charge of $26 million to adjust the carrying value of its affordable housing investments to fair value based on the results of its current year impairment analysis. The reduction in fair value was based on both declining future tax credits (based on tax credits realized to-date) and declines in residual values for certain of the underlying properties, which were deemed to be other than temporary. During 2001 and 2000, the company recorded non-operating pretax charges to writedown the carrying value of its affordable housing investments by $8 million and $4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, the company’s net investment in affordable housing was $105 million, which was included in other noncurrent assets. Projected future affordable housing tax credits expected to be received by the company by year are: 2003: $13 million; 2004: $9 million; 2005: $3 million, and 2006 and beyond: $1 million.
Note 4. Restructuring and Impairment
The company regularly assesses its manufacturing platforms to assure that they are efficient, flexible and aligned properly with customer needs. Beginning in 2001, and continuing in 2002, the company initiated restructuring actions, which consisted primarily of the consolidation of operations within the Donnelley Print Solutions segment and Financial Services, and the elimination of general and administrative positions company-wide. Specific elements of the restructuring activities, the related costs and the current status are discussed below.
2002
In 2002, due to declining market conditions, the company initiated additional restructuring actions to align the business with current market conditions. The total 2002 pretax restructuring and impairment charge of $89 million ($54 million after-tax, or $0.47 per diluted share) was included as restructuring and impairment charges in the consolidated statements of income on page F-2. The 2002 pretax charge was comprised of the following: employee termination benefits related to additional workforce reductions; plan curtailment loss related to postretirement benefit plans; exit costs related to closed facilities; relocation costs for defined exit activities which were expensed as incurred, and asset impairments to reduce the carrying values of assets held for disposal to fair value. Total 2002 pretax charges by segment were as follows: Donnelley Print Solutions—$55 million; Logistics Services—$2 million; Corporate—$16 million; and Other—$16 million.

The components of the 2002 charges included:
· | Employee termination benefits associated with 1,798 employees, including severance, early retirement benefit costs and outplacement costs of $37 million. Of this charge, $23 million represented early retirement benefit costs to be financed by the company’s various retirement benefit plans.

The majority of the remaining separations are expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2003. |
· | A non-cash curtailment loss of $8 million related to the company’s postretirement benefit plan. This charge was recorded in the Corporate segment. The curtailment loss recognized represents the increase in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the recognition of prior service costs related to the reduction in the number of employees due to workforce reductions. |
· | Exit costs of $6 million. Exit costs comprise expected remaining future cash outlays associated with maintaining closed facilities until the date of sale or lease termination, including trailing lease payments, lease termination payments, restoration costs and other building-related costs.

· | Relocation costs incurred for employees transferred from closed facilities, as well as equipment transfer charges, totaled $22 million in 2002. These charges are expensed on an as incurred basis, and relate primarily to plant closures announced within the Donnelley Print Solutions segment in 2001, as well as the Berea, Ohio closure in 2002. |
· | Asset write-downs in 2002 included property, plant and equipment write-downs of $16 million, primarily related to facility closings. Of this charge, $5 million related to the closing of the Berea, Ohio facility in the second quarter of 2002. Also included in 2002 was an additional $9 million in non-cash write-downs for anticipated losses on the disposal of buildings, the majority of which related to announced closings made in 2001. |

2001
In 2001, as part of efforts to build a more effective print platform, the company announced the closures of seven facilities, and additional workforce reductions and consolidations at several other facilities, including a company-wide reduction of 250 administrative positions. Total pretax business restructuring charges and asset impairments of $106 million related to restructuring actions were recorded by segment as follows: Donnelley Print Solutions—$86 million; Logistics Services—$1 million; Corporate—$4 million; and Other—$15 million. The 2001 pretax charge was comprised of the following: employee termination benefits related to additional workforce reductions; exit costs related to closed facilities; relocation costs for defined exit activities which were expensed as incurred; and asset impairments to reduce the carrying values of assets held for disposal to fair value.
Also in 2001, the company recorded a pretax impairment charge of $90 million to adjust the carrying values of certain of its businesses to fair value. The impairment charges reduced goodwill by $36 million and property and equipment by $54 million and were recorded by segment as follows: Donnelley Print Solutions segment $11 million; and Other $79 million comprised of RRD Direct ($37 million) and International (Argentina—$19 million; Brazil—$11 million; and Mexico—$12 million), as described more fully below.
During 2001, both the Newark, Ohio and Berea, Ohio facilities generated significant shortfalls in net sales from their original acquisition plans. The Newark facility also experienced deterioration in operating performance following the consolidation in 2000 of another RRD Direct facility into Newark. Based on the company’s review for impairment as determined in accordance with SFAS No. 121, the company recorded a pretax impairment charge for Newark in 2001 of $37 million ($26 million after-tax or $0.22 per diluted share) that included writedowns of $10 million for goodwill and $27 million for property and equipment. The total pretax impairment charge for Berea of $11 million ($7 million after-tax, or $0.06 per diluted share) was related entirely to goodwill.
The deterioration in the Argentine economy during 2001 led the company to re-evaluate its wholly-owned investment in Argentina in accordance with SFAS No. 121. Based on that assessment, the company recorded a pretax impairment charge in 2001 of $19 million ($19 million after-tax or $0.16 per diluted share) to reduce the value of its investment. The charge included write-downs of $2 million for goodwill and $17 million for property and equipment. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the company announced plans to consolidate its two Brazilian book operations (Circulo do Livro and Hamburg Gráfica Editora) into one facility to streamline costs, and to sell its Hamburg Gráfica Editora plant. The total pretax impairment charge for Brazil of $11 million ($8 million after-tax, or $0.07 per diluted share) included write-downs of $3 million for goodwill and $8 million for property and equipment.
During the third quarter of 2001, the company re-evaluated its investment in Ediciones Eclipse S.A. de C.V. in Mexico (Eclipse; acquired in 1998) following the loss of several key customers and poor operating performance. Based on the re-evaluation, the company recorded a pretax impairment charge for Eclipse of $12 million ($12 million after-tax or $0.10 per diluted share) that included write-downs of $10 million for goodwill and $2 million for property and equipment. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the company closed its Eclipse operations.
The total 2001 pretax restructuring and impairment charge of $196 million ($137 million after-tax, or $1.15 per diluted share) was included as restructuring and impairment charges in the consolidated statements of income on page F-2.

The Berea, Ohio facility was considered held for disposal as of December 31, 2002. Additional charges related to the 2002 plans are expected to be approximately $3 million, which are anticipated to be recognized through the second quarter of 2003, and relate primarily to employee and equipment relocation. Of a total of 1,798 planned employee terminations related to the 2002 plans, 1,539 have been completed. The remaining terminations, primarily related to workforce reductions announced in the fourth quarter, are expected to be completed by March 31, 2003.
In connection with the 2001 plans, the company has ceased print production at its St. Petersburg and South Daytona, Florida, Des Moines, Iowa, Old Saybrook, Connecticut and Hamburg Gráfica Editora (Brazil) facilities, and all customer work has been transferred to other company facilities.

Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill not be amortized over an estimated useful life. Instead, goodwill must be assessed for impairment at least annually by applying a fair-value-based test.
SFAS No. 142 prohibits the restatement of prior year financial statements. For comparison purposes, the following table presents the prior year amounts adjusted to exclude amortization expense related to goodwill that is no longer being amortized.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2002, authorized expenditures on incomplete projects for the purchase of property, plant and equipment totaled $225 million. Of this total, $47 million has been contractually committed. The company also has a contractual commitment of approximately $24 million for various outsourced professional services. The company also has a variety of contracts with suppliers for the purchase of paper, ink and other commodities for delivery in future years at prevailing market prices. There are no minimum volume guarantees associated with these contracts.
The company has non-cancelable operating lease commitments totaling $260 million extending through various periods to 2016. The lease commitments total $62 million for 2003, range from $28 million to $52 million in each of the years 2004 through 2007 and total $32 million for years 2008 and thereafter.
The company is not exposed to significant accounts receivable credit risk, due to its customer diversity with respect to industry classification, distribution channels and geographic locations.
Litigation
On November 25, 1996, a class action was brought against the company in federal district court in Chicago, Illinois, on behalf of current and former African-American employees, alleging that the company racially discriminated against them in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1871, as amended, and the U.S. Constitution(Jones, et al. v. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co.). The complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, and asks for actual, compensatory, consequential and punitive damages in an amount not less than $500 million. Although plaintiffs sought nationwide class certification, most of the specific factual assertions of the complaint relate to the closing by the company of its Chicago catalog operations in 1993. Other general claims brought by certain named individuals relate to other company locations.
On June 30, 1998, a class action was filed against the company in federal district court in Chicago on behalf of current and former African-American employees, alleging that the company racially discriminated against them in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964(Adams, et al. v. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co.). While making many of the same general discrimination claims contained in theJones complaint, theAdams plaintiffs also claim retaliation by the company for the filing of discrimination charges or otherwise complaining of race discrimination.
On April 6, 2001, in an amended opinion, the district court judge in theJones andAdams cases certified three plaintiff classes in the actions: a class consisting of African-American employees discharged in connection with the shutdown of the Chicago catalog operations; a class consisting of African-American employees of the Chicago catalog operations after November 1992 who were other than permanent employees; and a class consisting of African-Americans subjected to an allegedly hostile working environment at the Chicago catalog operations, the Chicago Financial, Pontiac or Dwight, Illinois, manufacturing operations. The judge also consolidated theJones andAdams cases for pretrial purposes.
In a decision issued September 16, 2002, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a ruling by the trial court and held that a two year statute of limitations applies to the claims filed under Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act. The court of appeals remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with its opinion, and on November 21, 2002, the court of appeals denied plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing. Absent the trial court’s adoption of plaintiffs’ theories tolling the statute of limitations, the ruling of the court of appeals, unless released on appeal, will bar the claims of the classes in theJones case.
On December 18, 1995, a class action was filed against the company in federal district court in Chicago alleging that older workers were discriminated against in selection for termination upon the closing of the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Chicago catalog operations(Gerlib, et al. v. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co.). The suit also alleged that the company violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) in determining benefits payable under its Retirement Benefit and Separation Pay Plans to retiring or terminated employees. The complaint sought recalculation of pension benefits and separation pay due plaintiffs since their termination dates, as well as actual damages for, and reinstatement to correct, the alleged discrimination. On August 14, 1997, the court certified classes in both the age discrimination and ERISA claims limited to certain former employees of the Chicago catalog operations.
On December 28, 2000, a purported class action was brought against the company and certain of its benefit plans in federal district court in Chicago on behalf of certain former employees of the Chicago catalog operations(Jefferson, et al. v. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., et al.). The suit alleged that enhanced pension benefits were not paid to plaintiffs and that plaintiffs are being required to contribute to the costs of retiree medical coverage, both allegedly in violation of plan documents and ERISA. The complaint sought recalculation of pension benefits due plaintiffs since their retirement dates, reimbursement of any amounts paid by plaintiffs for medical coverage, interest on the foregoing amounts, as well as a declaration as to the benefits due plaintiffs in the future.
TheGerlib andJefferson cases raised many of the same claims for recalculation of benefits due employees and are before the same district court judge. In an order dated October 26, 2001, further clarified in an order dated January 25, 2002, the district court judge ruled that permanent employees who were eligible and elected to receive special augmented separation pay in conjunction with the closure of the Chicago catalog operations were not eligible to also receive regular separation pay, and that employees other than those considered permanent employees at the date of closure were not eligible to receive special augmented separation pay. In the same order, the judge ruled that under the terms of the company’s plans, permanent employees who were eligible and elected to receive enhanced retirement benefits were also entitled to receive regular separation pay. In an order dated June 11, 2002, the district court judge found that employees who were otherwise not eligible to receive enhanced retirement benefits at the date of closure of the Chicago catalog operations but whose combined age and service equaled 75 years or more at the date of their termination were entitled to receive enhanced retirement benefits, and that employees of the Chicago catalog operations in 1994 who were in surplus occupations were entitled to receive enhanced retirement benefits regardless of their age at the date of termination. In the June 2002 order, the judge further ruled that members of the classes who elected to receive augmented separation pay in connection with the closure of the Chicago catalog operations were not entitled to also receive enhanced retirement benefits.
As to other claims of the plaintiffs in the cases, by order dated January 4, 2002, the district court judge granted summary judgment on theJefferson claim relating to medical benefits, finding that retirees from the Chicago catalog operations were not entitled to non-contributory medical benefits for life. Following a two week trial on the age discrimination claim raised inGerlib, on August 2, 2002, a jury reached a verdict in the company’s favor, finding that the company did not discriminate against older workers in the shutdown of the Chicago catalog operations. On August 12, 2002, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking a new trial on the age discrimination claim, alleging that the jury verdict is contrary to the weight of the evidence. That motion was denied on November 7, 2002.
TheJones,Gerlib andJefferson cases relate primarily to the circumstances surrounding the closure of the Chicago catalog operations. The company believes that it acted properly and without discriminating in closing the operations, and that the adverse rulings of the district court judge are based on language contained in the company’s plan documents rather than on wrongdoing of the company. Further, the company does not believe that it discriminated against any of the plaintiffs who have made allegations surrounding other operations of the company. However, rather than continue to litigate the issues inGerlib andJefferson through the appellate process and begin the multiple trials required to decide the claims raised in theAdams case, the parties entered

reached agreement on the terms for settlement. The settlements, which must be approved by the district court following fairness hearings, resolve all of the issues in theAdams,Gerlib andJefferson cases, and resolve the issues inJones which relate to claims arising in locations other than the Chicago catalog operations without any admission of wrongdoing by the company. The total amount to be paid in connection with the settlements is $21 million, of which $9 million will be paid by the company’s Retirement Benefit Plan. The total pretax charge during 2002 related to these settlements was $16 million and was recorded in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income on page F-2.
While the settlements described dispose of theAdams,Gerlib andJefferson cases, and a portion of theJones litigation, the issue relating to the application of the statute of limitations to certain of the discrimination claims in theJones case has not been finally decided. Management is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the overall loss that could result from an unfavorable final determination of this matter.
In addition, the company is a party to certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial condition of the company.
Note 9. Retirement Plans
The company maintains seven principal retirement plans: the Retirement Benefit Plan of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (the primary R.R. Donnelley retirement plan); an unfunded Supplemental Benefit Plan; the Haddon Craftsmen, Inc. Retirement Plan; the R.R. Donnelley U.K. Pension Plan; the Merged Retirement Income Plan for Employees at R.R. Donnelley Printing Company, L.P. and R.R. Donnelley Printing Company; the Supplemental Unfunded Retirement Income Plan for Employees of Meredith-Burda Corporation Limited Partnership; and the Supplemental Unfunded Retirement Income Plan for Employees of Meredith-Burda Corporation. Participants of these last three plans no longer accrue benefits under such plans; all qualified active employees of the company who formerly participated in these plans are current participants of the R.R. Donnelley Retirement Plan (the Retirement Benefit Plan or the Plan).
The Retirement Benefit Plan is a noncontributory defined benefit plan. Substantially all U.S. employees age 21 or older are covered by the Plan. Normal retirement age is 65, but reduced early retirement benefits are paid to fully vested participants at or after age 55. The company uses the projected unit credit actuarial cost method to determine pension cost for financial reporting purposes. In conjunction with this method, the company amortizes deferred gains and losses (using the corridor method) and prior service costs over the average remaining service life of its active employee population. In addition, a transition credit (the excess of Plan assets plus balance sheet accruals over the projected obligation as of January 1, 1987) is being amortized over 19 years. For tax and funding purposes, the entry age normal actuarial cost method is used. Plan assets consist primarily of marketable equity securities and government and corporate fixed income securities which are valued using market quotations. In the event of Plan termination, the Plan provides that no funds can revert to the company and any excess assets over Plan liabilities must be used to fund retirement benefits.
In addition to pension benefits, the company provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Most of the company’s regular full-time U.S. employees become eligible for these benefits upon reaching age 55 while working for the company and having 10 years of continuous service at retirement. For employees who began employment with the company prior to January 1, 2002, the company funds liabilities associated with these plans through a tax-exempt trust. The assets of the trust are invested primarily in marketable equity securities and government and corporate fixed income securities under a life insurance contract covering certain of the company’s employees.

The company recognizes a minimum pension liability when the accumulated benefit obligation for a plan exceeds the fair value of the respective plan’s assets. Of the total minimum pension liability as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, $37 million and $27 million, respectively, related to the R.R. Donnelley U.K. pension plan (the U.K. pension plan) and the remainder to two of the company’s smaller plans. The increase in minimum pension liability during 2002 related to the U.K. pension plan; this included a $6 million increase in the accumulated benefit obligation primarily due to foreign exchange and a $4 million decrease in the fair value of plan assets. The minimum pension liability for the U.K pension plan arose in 2001 primarily as a result of a decline in the fair value of plan assets, principally U.K. equity securities.
The weighted average assumptions used in the actuarial computation that derived the above funded status amounts were as follows:
Pension Benefits | Postretirement Benefits | |||||||||||
2002 | 2001 | 2000 | 2002 | 2001 | 2000 | |||||||
Discount rate | 6.7% | 7.0% | 7.2% | 6.8% | 7.0% | 7.3% | ||||||
Expected return on plan assets | 9.4% | 9.4% | 9.4% | 9.0% | 9.0% | 9.0% | ||||||
Average rate of compensation increase | 4.0% | 4.0% | 4.0% | 4.0% | 4.0% | 4.0% |
The discount rates for purposes of determining annual periodic benefit income (expense) were 6.9%, 7.2% and 7.2% in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, for the company’s pension plans, and were 7.0%, 7.3% and 7.3% in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, for the company’s postretirement benefit plans.
For purposes of determining the funded status of the company’s various pension plans as of the plans’ measurement date (September 30, 2002), the company assumed a weighted average discount rate of 6.7%. As a basis for sensitivity analysis, a one-percentage-point decline in the assumed discount rate for the company’s pension plans to 5.7% would result in an estimated additional charge to other comprehensive income (a component of shareholders’ equity) of approximately $238 million. Under the company’s assumptions for 2002, only the U.K. pension plan and two of the company’s smaller plans recognized an additional minimum liability. By applying a 5.7% discount rate and holding other assumptions constant, the fair value of plan assets for the company’s Retirement Benefit Plan would fall below the accumulated benefit obligation in 2002, resulting in the recognition of an additional minimum liability. The breakdown of the estimated $238 million charge to shareholders’ equity following a one-percentage-point decline in discount rate by plan would be as follows: Retirement Benefit Plan ($225 million); the U.K. pension plan ($12 million) and other plans: ($1 million).
For measuring other postretirement benefits, a 9.8% annual rate of increase in the per-capita cost of covered healthcare benefits was assumed for 2002 (the trend rate occurring during 2002 to arrive at 2003 levels). The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5.0% by 2008 and remain at that level thereafter.

The company has used corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) to fund employee benefits for several years. In 1996, the United States Health Care Reform Act was passed, eliminating the deduction for interest from loans borrowed against COLI programs. 1998 was the final year of the phase-out for deductions. In several federal court decisions involving different corporate taxpayers, the courts disallowed deductions for loans against those taxpayers’ COLI programs. In its audit of the company’s 1990 to 1992 tax returns, the IRS disallowed the deductions taken by the company.
On April 1, 2002, the company reached a settlement agreement with the IRS resolving all disputes over the tax deductibility of interest on loans taken out against its COLI programs. As part of the settlement, the company agreed to the disallowance of 80% of its interest deductions on loans related to its COLI programs from 1990 through 1998. Prior to the settlement, the company’s exposure related to past COLI interest deductions was $272 million, including interest, after-tax. Based upon the 80% settlement, the company’s exposure for all years was approximately $217 million in taxes and interest, after-tax, of which $62 million ($55 million after-tax) was paid in prior years. The company paid approximately $130 million of this liability to the IRS in April 2002. The remaining amount owed is classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as current income taxes payable and other noncurrent liabilities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
As part of the settlement with the IRS, the company also surrendered approximately 17,000, or 61%, of its outstanding COLI policies to the insurance carriers in April 2002. The IRS agreed to an 80% reduction of the taxable portion of the gain related to the surrender of the COLI policies. The tax at 40% on the remaining 20% gain upon surrender of the policies resulted in additional amounts owed to the IRS of $18 million. In April 2002, the company received $12 million in net cash surrender value related to the policies surrendered.
As a result of the company’s settlement agreement with the IRS, the company reduced its tax reserves related to COLI to equal the settlement amounts. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2002, the company recorded a one-time tax benefit of $30 million to reflect the reduction in tax reserves. In addition, the company recorded a nonrecurring pretax charge of $5 million in the first quarter of 2002 related to the surrender of the above COLI policies, which is classified in other income (expense), net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of income on page F-2.

As of December 31, 2002, the company had domestic and foreign tax loss carryforwards of approximately $36 million and $13 million, respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2004 and 2012. Limitations on the utilization of these tax benefits may apply, and accordingly, valuation allowances have been provided to account for the potential limitations. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the valuation allowance decreased by $5 million resulting from changes in the realizability of an acquired subsidiary’s deferred tax assets due to the finalization of annual tax audits for the year the subsidiary was acquired. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the valuation allowance increased $11 million primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance associated with the company’s foreign net operating losses in Mexico and Argentina. It is the company’s policy to not record a tax benefit for net operating losses in countries with a limited net operating loss carry-forward period.
Cash payments for income taxes were $197 million (including a $130 million payment related to the company’s settlement with the IRS relating to COLI), $149 million (including a $62 million payment related to the company’s settlement with the IRS for COLI) and $55 million (net of a $77 million refund related to the 1999 sale of the company’s investment in Stream, Corporate Software & Technology and MMI) in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Based upon the interest rates available to the company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of the company’s debt exceeded its book value at December 31, 2002, by approximately $51 million.
In October 2002, the company replaced its revolving credit facilities with two new revolving credit facilities. The new facilities consist of a short-term facility that matures in October 2003 and provides for borrowings of up to $175 million and a long-term facility that matures in October 2007 and also provides for borrowings of up to $175 million. The company pays an annual commitment fee on the total unused portion of the credit facilities of 0.07% for the short-term facility and 0.09% for the long-term facility. The credit facilities bear interest at variable rates based on the current LIBOR rate and the company’s credit rating. As of December 31, 2002, there have been no borrowings under these credit facilities.
The company also has $208 million in credit facilities at its non-U.S. units, most of which are uncommitted. As of December 31, 2002, total borrowings under these facilities were $115 million.
As of December 31, 2002, $500 million of debt securities were available for issuance by the company under effective Form S-3 registration statements filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The weighted average interest rate on all commercial paper during 2002 was 1.73% (1.29% at December 31, 2002). Annual maturities of debt are as follows: 2003—$246 million, 2004—$1 million, 2005—$166 million, 2006—$234 million, 2007—$0.5 million and $351 million thereafter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Interest paid, net of capitalized interest, was $72 million, $71 million and $91 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 2002 excludes interest received of $10 million related to interest rate swap agreements. See Note 14,“Financial Instruments,” to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Note 12. Guarantees
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation 45,Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The Interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. It also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes under the guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual financial statements. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.
The company has unconditionally guaranteed the repayment of certain loans and related interest and fees for certain of its consolidated subsidiaries. The guarantees continue until the loans, including accrued interest and fees, have been paid in full. The maximum amount of the guarantees may vary, but is limited to the sum of the total due and unpaid principal amounts plus related interest and fees. Additionally, the maximum amount of the guarantees, certain of which are denominated in foreign currencies, will vary based on fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. As of December 31, 2002, the maximum principal amount guaranteed was approximately $193 million.
The company may recover a portion of its maximum liability upon liquidation of the investee’s assets. The proceeds from such liquidation cannot be accurately estimated due to the multitude of factors that would affect the valuation and realization of such proceeds of a liquidation.
Note 13. Earnings per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128,Earnings per Share, the company has computed basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS), using the treasury stock method.

Options outstanding to purchase 11 million, 9 million and 12 million shares of common stock at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market prices of the company’s common shares. The range of exercise prices for these options was between $26.55 and $46.88, $29.78 and $46.88 and $23.38 and $57.70 at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The number of common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 was 113 million.

Note 14. Financial Instruments
The company has limited transactions that fall under the accounting rules of SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. From time to time, the company uses financial instruments, including interest rate swap agreements and forward exchange and option contracts, to manage exposure to movements in interest rates and exchange rates.
On November 14, 2001, the company issued $225 million in notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum and maturing on November 15, 2006. In conjunction with this issuance the company entered into a series of pay-floating and pay-fixed swaps. Pay-floating swaps effectively convert fixed rate obligations to variable rate instruments indexed to LIBOR. Pay-fixed swaps effectively convert floating rate obligations to fixed rate instruments.
The following table summarizes the company’s interest rate swaps at December 31, 2002:
Thousands of dollars | Notional Principal(1) | Interest Rates | Fair Values | ||||||||||||
Effective Date | Maturity Date | Receive | Pay | ||||||||||||
November 14, 2001 | November 15, 2006 | $ | 100,000 | (4) | 5.0 | % | LIBOR + 0.863% | $ | 4,900 | (2) | |||||
November 14, 2001 | November 15, 2006 | 100,000 | (4) | 5.0 | % | LIBOR + 0.863% | 4,900 | (2) | |||||||

May 15, 2003 | November 15, 2003 | 100,000 | (5) | LIBOR | 1.650% | (123 | )(3) |
(1) | The notional principal is the amount used for the calculation of interest payments that are exchanged over the life of the swap transaction and is equal to the amount of dollar principal exchanged at maturity, if applicable. |
(2) | Swap is considered a fair value hedge. Accordingly, the fair value is recorded in “Other noncurrent assets” with offsets recorded in “Long-term debt.” |
(3) | Swap does not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the change in the fair value of this agreement was recorded in “Interest expense” with offsets recorded in “Other accrued liabilities.” |
(4) | Receive fixed-pay floating interest rate swap. |
(5) | Receive floating-pay fixed interest rate swap. |
The net effect of the various interest rate swaps was a reduction in interest expense of $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Note 15. Stock and Incentive Programs for Employees
Restricted Stock Awards—At December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the company had 337,000 and 313,000 unvested restricted shares of its common stock granted to certain officers. These shares are registered in the names of the recipients, but are subject to conditions of forfeiture and restrictions on sale or transfer for one to five years from the grant date. Dividends on the restricted shares are paid currently to the recipients. The expense of the grant is determined based on the market prices at the date of the grant and is recognized evenly over the vesting period.
During 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, a total of 79,600, 51,000, and 209,000 shares of restricted stock were issued with a grant date fair value of $2 million, $3 million and $4 million, respectively. Charges to expense for these grants were $2 million, $3 million and $4 million in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.
Incentive Compensation Plans—In 2001, the company implemented both a new senior management annual incentive cash plan and a long-term incentive award program designed to encourage and reward sustained value

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
creation together with achievement of annual objectives and employee retention. Payments under the annual plan are based on the achievement of Economic Value Added (EVA®) improvement targets, along with earnings per share objectives and other individual and strategic targets. Long-term awards made to senior officers during 2001 will be paid based on total shareholder return relative to the performance of the S&P 500 over a three year period ending December 2003. The long-term awards are denominated in stock units and participants receive dividend equivalents during the performance period. Awards ultimately may be paid in stock, cash or a combination of stock and cash. The company’s incentive compensation plans for other officers, managers and supervisors are based primarily on annual improvements in EVA, along with earnings per share and other individual strategic targets.
The value of the long-term awards was $5 million based upon the closing price of the company stock at December 31, 2002 ($21.77 per share). A total of 32,980 long-term stock unit awards, including 8,947 in dividend equivalents earned on the original grant, were granted during the year ended December 31, 2002. Compensation expense was $2 million and $3 million during 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Stock Unit Award—In connection with the execution of an employment agreement, the Chief Executive Officer of the company was granted an award of 115,385 stock units during 2001. During 2002, an additional 4,444 stock units were granted relating to dividend equivalents earned on the original grant. This award vests over three years and is payable in shares of the company’s stock upon the executive’s retirement, death or permanent and total disability. The executive receives dividend equivalents while the award is outstanding. The award is recorded at market value on the date of grant as unearned compensation, and expense is recognized over the vesting period. The initial value of the award is amortized over the vesting period, net of forfeiture.
The value of the stock unit award was $3 million based upon the closing price of the company stock at December 31, 2002. The grant date fair value of the award was $3 million, and compensation expense during 2002 and 2001, respectively, was $1.4 million and $0.3 million.
Stock Options—The company has stock incentive plans for its employees. Under these plans, options vest from one to nine and one-half years after date of grant and may be exercised, once vested, up to 10 years from the date of grant. A maximum of 8 million shares were available for future grants of stock options, stock units and restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2002. The company accounts for employee stock options under APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, under which no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, the company’s net income and respective earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

Other Information—Under the stock programs, authorized unissued shares or treasury shares may be used for issuance under the stock option programs. The company intends to use reacquired shares of its common stock to meet the stock requirements of these programs in the future.
Note 16. Preferred Stock
The company has two million shares of $1.00 par value preferred stock authorized for issuance. The Board of Directors may divide the preferred stock into one or more series and fix the redemption, dividend, voting, conversion, sinking fund, liquidation and other rights. The company has no present plans to issue any preferred stock. One million of the shares are reserved for issuance under the Shareholder Rights Plan discussed in Note 17, “Shareholder Rights Plan,” below.
Note 17. Shareholder Rights Plan
The company maintains a Shareholder Rights Plan (the Plan) designed to deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics, to prevent a person or group from gaining control of the company without offering fair value to all shareholders and to deter other abusive takeover tactics that are not in the best interest of shareholders.
F-104
Table of Contents
R.R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Under the terms of the Plan, each share of common stock is accompanied by one right; each right entitles the shareholder to purchase from the company one one-thousandth of a newly issued share of Series A Junior Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $140.
The rights become exercisable 10 days after a public announcement that an acquiring person (as defined in the Plan) has acquired 15% or more of the outstanding common stock of the company (the Stock Acquisition Date), 10 business days after the commencement of a tender offer that would result in a person owning 15% or more of such shares or 10 business days after an adverse person (as defined in the Plan) has acquired 10% or more of such shares and such ownership interest is likely to have a material adverse impact on the company. The company can redeem the rights for $0.01 per right at any time until 10 days following the Stock Acquisition Date (under certain circumstances, the 10-day period can be shortened or lengthened by the company). The rights will expire on August 8, 2006, unless redeemed earlier by the company.
If, subsequent to the rights becoming exercisable, the company is acquired in a merger or other business combination at any time when there is a 15% or more holder, the rights will then entitle a holder (other than a 15% or more shareholder or an adverse person) to buy shares of the acquiring company with a market value equal to twice the exercise price of each right. Alternatively, if a 15% holder acquires the company by means of a merger in which the company and its stock survives, if any person acquires 15% or more of the company’s common stock or if an adverse person acquires 10% or more of the company’s common stock and such ownership is likely to have a material adverse impact on the company, each right not owned by a 15% or more shareholder or an adverse person would become exercisable for common stock of the company (or, in certain circumstances, other consideration) having a market value equal to twice the exercise price of the right.
Note 18. Industry Segment Information
The company operates primarily in the commercial print portion of the printing industry, with related service offerings designed to offer customers complete solutions for communicating their messages to target audiences. Beginning January 1, 2002, the company revised its segment reporting to reflect changes in how it operates and reports internally its businesses. As a result of these changes, the company now discloses two reportable segments: Donnelley Print Solutions and Logistics Services. R.R. Donnelley Print Solutions (Donnelley Print Solutions) is comprised of the company’s businesses serving the following end markets within the commercial print industry: Magazines, Catalogs and Retail; Book Publishing Services; Telecommunications; and Premedia Technologies. Donnelley Print Solutions was created to optimize the company’s production capacity serving these end markets and to enhance service delivery capabilities. The formation of Donnelley Print Solutions was intended to create a more cost-effective, integrated and flexible print platform using a single business model and operating under one management team.
R.R. Donnelley Logistics (Donnelley Logistics) represents the company’s logistics and distribution services operations for its print customers and other mailers. Donnelley Logistics serves its customers by consolidating and delivering printed products and packages to the U.S. Postal Service closer to the final destination, resulting in reduced postage costs and improved delivery performance. Operating results for Donnelley Logistics are included under the reportable segment “Logistics Services.”
Prior to January 1, 2002, the company disclosed two reportable segments: Commercial Print and Logistics Services. Results previously reported within the Commercial Print segment included the company’s businesses serving the following end markets: Magazines, Catalogs and Retail (including Specialized Publishing Services); Book Publishing Services; Telecommunications; Premedia Technologies; Financial Services; RRD Direct (direct mail); and International, which provides similar products and services outside the U.S. Following the formation of Donnelley Print Solutions, the operating results for Financial Services, RRD Direct and International are included in Other for segment reporting purposes. Prior year results have been restated to conform to the new segment presentation.

Note 20. New Accounting Pronouncements
On July 30, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement rescinds Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) No. 94-3,“Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the statement include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. This statement will be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities that are initiated by the company after December 31, 2002. The company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123.Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. As of December 31, 2002, the company has elected not to change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The company accounts for employee stock options under Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, under which no compensation cost was recognized by the company.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” to provide new guidance with respect to the consolidation of all previously unconsolidated entities, including special-purpose entities. The company believes that the adoption of this interpretation, required in 2003, will not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company:
Chicago, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the years then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated January 23, 2002.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such 2002 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the years then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. As described in Note 18, the Company changed the composition of its reportable segments in 2002, and the amounts in the 2001 and 2000 financial statements relating to reportable segments have been restated to conform to the 2002 composition of reportable segments. We audited the adjustments that were applied to restate the disclosures for reportable segments reflected in the 2001 and 2000 financial statements. Our procedures included (a) comparing the adjusted amounts of segment revenues, operating income and assets to the Company’s underlying records obtained from management, and (b) testing the mathematical accuracy of the reconciliations of segment amounts to the consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. As described in Note 5, these financial statements include the transitional disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (Statement) No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2002. Our audit procedures with respect to the disclosures in Note 5 with respect to 2001 included (i) comparing the previously reported net income to the previously issued financial statements and the adjustments to reported net income representing amortization expense (including any related tax effects) recognized in those periods related to goodwill to the Company’s underlying records obtained from management, and (ii) testing the mathematical accuracy of the reconciliation of adjusted net income to reported net income and the related earnings-per-share amounts. In our opinion, the disclosures for 2001 in Note 5 are appropriate. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 or 2000 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to such disclosures and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2001 or 2000 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited (although the balance sheet at December 31, 2002 is condensed from the audited balance sheet at that date) and have been prepared by the company to conform with the requirements applicable to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Certain information and disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been omitted as permitted by such requirements. However, the company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect, in the opinion of the company, all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial information for such periods. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to maintain comparability with current year classifications.
NOTE 2. Components of the company’s inventories at September 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, were as follows:
Thousands of dollars | 2003 | 2002 | ||||||
Raw materials and manufacturing supplies | $ | 100,328 | $ | 83,701 | ||||
Work in process | 170,679 | 108,947 | ||||||
Finished goods | 4,533 | 1,824 | ||||||
Progress billings | (49,503 | ) | (28,977 | ) | ||||
LIFO reserve | (51,556 | ) | (49,304 | ) | ||||
Total | $ | 174,481 | $ | 116,191 | ||||
Progress billings represent customer prepayment for raw materials or work in progress.
| ||||||||
NOTE 3. The following provides supplemental cash flow information: | ||||||||
Nine Months Ended | ||||||||
Thousands of dollars | 2003 | 2002 | ||||||
Interest paid(1) | $ | 42,738 | $ | 42,809 | ||||
Income taxes paid(2) | 7,559 | 176,700 |
(1) | Excludes interest received of $6 million and $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, on interest rate swap agreements (see Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). |
(2) | Includes taxes and interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 of$7 million and $135 million, respectively, related to the company’s settlement with the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities for deductions related to corporate-owned life insurance (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). |
NOTE 4. As reported in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2002, the company has settled three previously pending cases:Adams, et al. v. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co; Jefferson, et al. v. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., et al,andGerlib, et al. v. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co. without any admission of wrongdoing by the company. The company also settled that portion ofJones, et al. v. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., relating to claims

arising in locations other than the Chicago catalog operations without any admission of wrongdoing by the company. The company recorded a total pretax charge of $16 million in 2002 ($9 million in the second quarter and $7 million in the fourth quarter) relating to these settlements.
The issue remaining in theJones case affects two classes certified by the trial court: a class consisting of African-American employees discharged in connection with the shutdown of the Chicago catalog operations, and a class consisting of African-American employees of the Chicago catalog operations after November 1992 who were other than permanent employees. On September 16, 2002, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a ruling by the trial court and held that a two year statute of limitations applies to the claims of these classes, which absent any other ruling would result in dismissal of the claims on the basis of timeliness. On May 19, 2003, the United States Supreme Court agreed to review the issue of the appropriate statute of limitations to apply and set the matter for argument in the 2003 term. At this time, management is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the overall loss, if any, that could result from the final determination of this matter.
From time to time, customers of the company file voluntary petitions for reorganization under the United States bankruptcy laws. In such cases, certain pre-petition payments received by the company could be considered preference items and subject to return to the bankruptcy administrator. The company believes that the final resolution of these preference items will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In addition, the company is a party to certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 5.Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income,the company reports changes in shareholders’ equity that result from either recognized transactions or other economic events, excluding capital stock transactions, which affect shareholders’ equity. For the company, the differences between net income and comprehensive income were as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30 | Nine Months Ended September 30 | ||||||||||||||
Thousands of dollars | 2003 | 2002 | 2003 | 2002 | |||||||||||
Net income | $ | 53,730 | $ | 47,742 | $ | 78,825 | $ | 94,178 | |||||||

Comprehensive income | $ | 51,306 | $ | 40,540 | $ | 85,109 | $ | 73,694 | |||||||
NOTE 6.The company operates primarily in the commercial print portion of the printing industry, with related service offerings designed to offer customers complete solutions for communicating their messages to target audiences. Beginning January 1, 2003, the company revised its segment reporting to reflect RR Donnelley Financial as a separate business segment. The company’s Financial Services operations were previously reported within the Other business segment. As a result, the company discloses three reportable segments: Donnelley Print Solutions, Logistics Services and Financial Services.
RR Donnelley Print Solutions (Donnelley Print Solutions) is comprised of the company’s businesses serving the following end markets within the commercial print industry: Magazines, Catalogs and Retail; Book Publishing Services; Telecommunications; and Premedia Technologies. Donnelley Print Solutions was created to optimize the company’s production capacity serving these end markets, and to enhance service delivery

capabilities. The formation of Donnelley Print Solutions in 2002 was intended to create a more cost-effective, integrated and flexible print platform using a single business model and operating under one management team.
RR Donnelley Logistics (Donnelley Logistics) represents the company’s logistics and distribution services operations for its print customers and other mailers. Donnelley Logistics serves its customers by consolidating and delivering printed products and packages to the U.S. Postal Service closer to the final destination, resulting in reduced postage costs and improved delivery performance. Operating results for Donnelley Logistics are included under the reportable segment “Logistics Services.”
RR Donnelley Financial (Financial Services) serves the domestic and international capital markets, and provides customized communications solutions to investment management, banking, managed care and insurance clients to help manage and produce their stakeholder communications.
The company has disclosed earnings (loss) from operations as the primary measure of segment earnings (loss). This is the measure of profitability used by the company’s chief operating decision-maker that is most consistent with the presentation of profitability reported within the consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies of the business segments reported are the same as those described in Note 1,“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 7.The company used corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) to fund employee benefits for several years. In 1996, the United States Health Care Reform Act was passed, eliminating the deduction for interest from loans borrowed against COLI programs. 1998 was the final year of the phase-out for deductions. In several recent federal court decisions involving different corporate taxpayers, the courts disallowed deductions for loans against those taxpayers’ COLI programs. In its audit of the company’s 1990 to 1992 tax returns, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) disallowed the deductions taken by the company.
On April 1, 2002, the company reached a settlement agreement with the IRS resolving all disputes over the tax deductibility of interest on loans taken out against its COLI programs. As part of the settlement, the company agreed to the disallowance of 80% of its interest deductions on loans related to its COLI programs from 1990 through 1998. Based upon the 80% settlement, the company’s exposure for all years was approximately $217 million in taxes and interest, after-tax, of which $62 million ($55 million after-tax) was paid prior to 2002. The company has satisfied approximately $172 million ($145 million after-tax) of the remaining liability to the IRS and state tax authorities. The remaining amount owed is classified in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as current income taxes payable and other noncurrent liabilities.
As part of the settlement with the IRS, the company also agreed to surrender approximately 17,000, or 61%, of its outstanding COLI policies to the insurance carriers in April 2002. The IRS agreed to an 80% reduction of the taxable portion of the gain related to the surrender of the COLI policies. The tax at 40% on the remaining 20% gain upon surrender of the policies resulted in additional amounts owed to the IRS of $18 million. In April 2002, the company received $12 million in net cash surrender value related to the policies surrendered.
As a result of the company’s settlement agreement with the IRS, the company reduced its tax reserves related to COLI to equal the settlement amounts. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2002, the company recorded a one-time tax benefit of $30 million to reflect the reduction in tax reserves. In addition, the company recorded a

nonrecurring pretax charge of $5 million in the first quarter of 2002 related to the surrender of the above COLI policies, which was classified in other income (expense) net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Options outstanding to purchase 10 million and 11 million shares of common stock at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market prices of the company’s common shares. The range of exercise prices for these options was between $25.45 and $46.88 and$25.81 and $46.88 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and was between $22.59 and $46.88 and $28.25 and $46.88 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The number of basic common shares outstanding for both September 30, 2003 and 2002 was 113 million.
NOTE 9. The company has limited transactions that fall under the accounting rules of SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137, SFAS No. 138 and SFAS No. 149. From time to time, the company uses financial instruments, including interest rate swap agreements and forward exchange and option contracts, to manage exposure to movements in interest rates and exchange rates.
On November 14, 2001, the company issued $225 million in notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum and maturing on November 15, 2006. In conjunction with this issuance, the company entered into a series of pay-floating and pay-fixed interest rate swaps to take advantage of lower interest rates on floating rate debt. The pay-floating swap was executed in two transactions that mature in November 2006. To reduce its exposure to future increases in floating interest rates, the company entered into additional floating-to-fixed swap agreements, effectively fixing the interest rates for the May 15, 2002, November 15, 2002, May 15, 2003 and November 17, 2003 interest rate resets on the original swaps. Pay-floating swaps effectively convert fixed rate obligations to variable rate instruments indexed to LIBOR. Pay-fixed swaps effectively convert floating rate obligations to fixed rate instruments.
The following table summarizes the company’s interest rate swaps at September 30, 2003:

• | $0.5 million for anticipated losses on the disposal of equipment, primarily in connection with plant consolidations within RRD Direct. The asset impairment loss recognized was based on the difference between the estimated selling prices of the assets to be sold and the related carrying values. Selling prices were estimated based on the company’s prior experience with comparable equipment disposals. |
During the first quarter of 2003, the company recognized pretax restructuring and impairment charges of $2.6 million, and reduced earnings from operations in the company’s business segments as follows: Donnelley Print Solutions: $0.2 million; Financial Services: $0.6 million; Corporate: $1.1 million and Other: $0.7 million.

The remaining employees were terminated in the second quarter. |
• | A $1.1 million curtailment loss related to the company’s postretirement benefit plan. This charge was recorded in the Corporate segment.

In connection with the restructuring plans announced in 2002, the company has ceased print production at its Berea, Ohio facility, and all continuing customer work has been transferred to other company facilities. The Berea, Ohio facility was considered held for sale as of September 30, 2003. Additional future charges related to all 2002 announced actions are expected to be approximately $1 million, which are anticipated to be recognized by the end of 2003, and relate primarily to employee and equipment relocation. All 1,798 planned employee terminations related to the 2002 plans have been completed.
In connection with the restructuring plans announced in 2001, the company has ceased print production at its St. Petersburg and South Daytona, Florida; Des Moines, Iowa; Old Saybrook, Connecticut; and Hamburg

Gráfica Editora (Brazil) facilities, and all continuing customer work has been transferred to other company facilities. Additional charges related to the 2001 plans are expected to be minimal. All 2,850 planned employee terminations related to the 2001 plans have been completed. The St. Petersburg, Florida; Des Moines, Iowa; and Old Saybrook, Connecticut facilities were considered held for sale as of September 30, 2003. The Hamburg Gráfica Editora (Brazil) facility was sold in the second quarter of 2003 for $2 million in cash. The company recorded a pretax gain on sale of $1 million. The South Daytona, Florida, facility was sold in the third quarter of 2003. No gain or loss was recognized on this sale.
As of September 30, 2003, a total of 4,884 employee terminations have been completed under the restructuring plans announced in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
The net book value of assets to be disposed of under the restructuring plans as of September 30, 2003 of $7 million relates primarily to the Donnelley Print Solutions segment. The assets are comprised primarily of land, plant facilities and related equipment. These assets have been reviewed under SFAS No. 144,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and reflect the estimated fair value, less costs to sell.
NOTE 11. Goodwill associated with each of the company’s business segments and changes in those amounts during the period were as follows:

Other intangible assets primarily consist of the costs of acquiring print contracts and volume guarantees that are amortized as a reduction to net sales over the periods in which benefits will be realized. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $5 million and $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $18 million and $20 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
NOTE 12. On March 6, 2003, the company acquired certain net assets of Momentum Logistics, Inc. (MLI), a Florida-based provider of package distribution services, for approximately $17 million in cash. MLI operates sortation facilities and a dedicated fleet of vehicles to provide business-to-business and business-to-consumer package distribution services. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary pending completion of valuations of the assets acquired by independent valuation firms and final determination of the acquired liabilities.
In July 2003, the company sold its 25% equity investment in Global Directory Services Company to an unrelated third-party purchaser for $23 million in cash. In connection with this transaction, the company reduced goodwill by $10 million, which represented the remaining balance of the goodwill that arose at the time of the company’s acquisition of this equity investment. The company recorded a pretax gain on sale of $4 million ($3 million after-tax, or $0.03 per diluted share).

NOTE 13. As permitted under SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were exercisable at prices equal to the fair market value of the company’s common stock on the dates the options were granted; accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for the stock options granted.

NOTE14. In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 46,“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, An Interpretation of APB No. 51.” FIN 46 provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights (variable interest entities or VIE) and how to determine when and which business enterprises should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to entities (1) where the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest or (2) whose equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN 46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. FIN 46 applies immediately to VIEs created after January 31, 2003 and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. In October 2003, the FASB deferred the implementation date of FIN 46 for arrangements entered into prior to January 31, 2003. The company is now required to adopt FIN 46 in the fourth quarter of 2003 for these arrangements. The company’s risk of loss related to its equity investments, including investments in affordable housing entities, is generally limited to the carrying value of these investments, which was approximately $108 million at September 30, 2003. The company is continuing to evaluate its investments to determine which, if any, will be impacted by the adoption of FIN 46.
Effective January 1, 2003, the company adopted SFAS No. 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which rescinds Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3,“Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal

activities when they are incurred, rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by this statement include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing or other exit or disposal activity. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, which requires certain financial instruments that were previously presented on the consolidated balance sheets as equity to be presented as liabilities. Such instruments include mandatorily redeemable financial instruments and certain options and warrants. SFAS No. 150 is generally effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Effective July 1, 2003, the company adopted EITF 00-21,Accounting For Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, which establishes criteria for whether revenue on a deliverable can be recognized separately from other deliverables in a multiple deliverable arrangement. The criteria considers whether the delivered item has stand-alone value to the customer, whether the fair value of the delivered item can be reliably determined and the customer’s right of return for the delivered item. Adoption of EITF 00-21 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45,Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The Interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. It also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes under the guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual financial statements. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As of December 31, 2002, the company adopted the disclosure requirement of SFAS No. 148. This statement amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. As of September 30, 2003, the company has elected not to change to the fair value based-method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The company accounts for employee stock options under APB No. 25, under which the company did not recognize any compensation cost for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2003 or 2002. See Note 13 for the related disclosures required under SFAS No. 148.
Note 15. In October 2003, the company replaced its short-term revolving credit facility, which expired in October 2003 and provided for borrowings of up to $175 million, with a new short-term credit facility expiring in October 2004, which also provides for borrowings of up to $175 million. The new facility bears interest at a variable rate based on the current LIBOR rate and the company’s credit rating. The company pays an annual commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility of 0.07%. As of November 12, 2003, there have been no borrowings under this new facility.

Note 16. On November 8, 2003, the company entered into a combination agreement with Moore Wallace Incorporated (Moore Wallace), a leading provider of print management and outsourced communications. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the company will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Moore Wallace whereby each share of Moore Wallace will be exchanged for 0.63 of a share of common stock of the company. The company expects that, upon closing of the transaction, it will issue approximately 100 million shares of its common stock, as well as undertake the obligation for the indebtedness of Moore Wallace which was approximately $900 million as of September 30, 2003. The transaction was approved by the Boards of Directors of both the company and Moore Wallace, but remains subject to certain closing conditions that include, among others, the receipt of required approval from both companies’ shareholders, required regulatory approvals and Ontario Superior Court of Justice approval of a plan of arrangement. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2004.

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding,providedthat such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and other agents of such corporation in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
The Certificate of Incorporation of Moore North America Finance, Inc. contains provisions that provide for indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, Moore North America Finance, Inc.’s Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of a director to Moore North America Finance, Inc. or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, subject to certain exceptions.
Moore North America Finance, Inc. maintains policies insuring its officers and directors against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, Moore North America Finance, Inc. has agreed to indemnify holders of registrable notes against certain liabilities. Also pursuant to the registration rights agreement, Moore North America Finance, Inc. and certain broker-dealers, including certain persons associated with such broker-dealers, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities.
Moore Wallace Incorporated
As permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act, Moore Wallace’s bylaws require Moore Wallace to indemnify its directors or officers, former directors or officers, or other individuals who, at its request, act or acted as directors or officers, or in a similar capacity, of another entity against all costs, charges, and expenses they reasonably incurred (including amounts paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment) in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which they may become involved because of their association with Moore Wallace or other entity.
To be entitled to indemnification, those persons must have acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of Moore Wallace or other entity, as the case may be, and, in addition, in any criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, they must have had reasonable

grounds for believing that their conduct was lawful. The bylaws authorize Moore Wallace to advance money to an indemnified person for expenses of any such proceedings but only upon receipt of an undertaking that he or she will repay the same if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. In an action by or on behalf of Moore Wallace or other entity, as the case may be, to procure a judgment in its favor to which a person is made a party because of the person’s association with Moore Wallace or other entity, Moore Wallace shall seek and obtain an approval of a court before indemnifying the person or advancing moneys to him or her.

Item 22.Undertakings
1. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

2.

3. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
4. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
