ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
GENERAL
- - -------
Paris Business Forms, Inc. ("Paris"), incorporated in 1964 under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is a holding Company with four wholly
owned subsidiaries, viz., two active operating companies in New Jersey and
Texas, one inactive Florida corporation, and a Delaware corporation which owns
the Company's trademarks. Paris Business Products, Inc., a New Jersey
corporation and Paris Business Forms, Inc., a Texas corporation, are the two
operating companies, with plants in New Jersey and Texas, respectively. PBF
Corporation is the Delaware corporation. The Texas and Florida corporations are
both wholly owned subsidiaries of the New Jersey corporation. Paris also has a
30% interest in a corporation, Signature Corporation, formed in 1992, to market
office products through the supermarket and drug chain channels. Xerox and two
individuals own the remainder of the interest in Signature Corporation
The Company converts mill paper rolls to business forms at its two
manufacturing and distribution plants in New Jersey and Texas and distributes
office products, computer products and software through a number of market
channels including forms dealers, paper merchants, stationers, office product
and computer superstores, consumer electronics retailers, buying groups,
catalogs, supermarkets, and drugstore chains. Products include stock and custom
continuous forms; mill cut, value added, and custom cut sheets; paper handling
products for small offices and home offices, computer based printers and
scanners, office products and on-demand laser software. Geographically the
Company markets its products throughout the United States and Canada through
Company sales representatives, independent representatives, brokers, dealers,
and distributors.
Traditionally, the principal focus of the business was the manufacture
of continuous forms designed to run on dot matrix and high speed impact
printers. The Company serves the stock "green bar" continuous forms market, as
well as the custom forms market for commercial businesses providing business
forms to customer specifications. In recent years, with printer technology
changing to laser and inkjet imprinting and the evolution of software to provide
design capability to the user, the demand for continuous forms has begun to
decline and is expected to continue at a negative 5% to 10% annual declining
rate into the future. Accordingly, the Company is changing its focus to the
development and sale of value added and custom cut sheet products used on laser
and inkjet printers. Perfed, punched, lined cut sheets, high quality printing
cuts, collated sets, colored cuts and novelty cut products have been recently
introduced. Additional diversification strategies in hardware and software
products have been successfully embarked on within the past year.
The Company has completed the installation of both a local area and wide
area computer network this past year resulting in significant increases in
productivity internally, with enhanced communication and information exchange in
a client/server environment utilizing an IBM AS400 minicomputer, Compaq
microcomputer server, and over sixty user devices. The Company provides EDI
capability to its customers and suppliers as required by many companies today to
handle orders, shipment confirmations and billing.
COMPETITION
- - -----------
The business forms market is divided into two major markets. One segment
consists of "forms" manufacturers who distribute their own forms directly to end
users. The other segment consists of "manufacturers", like the Company, who
distribute their forms through resellers and retailers. The Company competes
principally with those manufacturers which distribute their products through
forms resellers and retailers.
In the reseller market, the Company competes principally with four
companies in stock computer paper. Although the Company does not compete
directly with the approximate dozen direct sellers, weak industry conditions
have forced the direct sellers to market to the smaller companies which
traditionally
2
bought through the indirect market. The Company's selling prices have suffered
accordingly, but lost market share has been minimal. With respect to custom
forms, all of the direct and approximately four hundred regional companies
participate in that market.
SUPPLIERS
- - ---------
The Company purchases registered bond paper, (consisting of a wide
variety of weights, widths, colors, sizes and qualities), and carbonless paper
from the major United States paper mills. The Company believes that it has good
relationships with all of its suppliers.
During the past fiscal year, the major paper mills have shifted some
capacity, or in some cases eliminated capacity, creating a shortage in raw paper
supply for the Company and the paper industry at large. As a result, paper costs
have accelerated at a rapid pace, nearly doubling during the period of July to
December, 1994, and increasing another 25% from January, 1995 to September,
1995. The tight supply conditions have ceased since September, 1995, with
reduced demand from manufacturers and distributors throughout the supply channel
due to high inventory levels. The Company believes, however, that demand-supply
equilibrium will return in early 1996, and that supply allocations could
continue for an indefinite period thereafter.
The Company has partnered or formed strategic alliances with a number of
companies to provide raw material, market support, and/or name recognition for
its value added cut sheet product and non-paper products. Xerox and the Company
have formed Signature Corporation to market office products under the Xerox
brand name through the supermarket and drugstore chains. The Company has
entered into a distribution agreement with Seiko Instruments, Inc. to sell a
label printer product through selected markets in the United States. Recently,
Paris contracted with Microtek, Inc., a billion dollar Taiwanese manufacturer,
to private label manufacture a scanner product with optical recognition software
capability, and with another Taiwan Company, Asco Products, Inc. to provide a
variety of products, viz., a private label paper folder for managing mail
distribution and after-market paper feed trays for Hewlett Packer laser
printers. Currently, the Company represents the largest volume customer of
Boise Cascade for certain specialty retail cut sheet products. The Company
believes the strong relationship between Paris and Boise will provide the
Company a solid footing for future cut sheet supply. Finally, Paris is working
with a number of entrepreneurial startup companies with unique products that fit
well within the existing product offerings. Touch-It Corporation produces heat
sensitive envelopes, folders, and note pads that change color when touched.
Compu-Notes, Inc. produces clip boards, binders and address books made from
recycled circuit boards. Paris is working closely with both of these firms to
introduce their products to certain select markets.
SEGMENTS AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
- - ----------------------------
The Company operates in three segments or lines of business, including
stock continuous forms and cut sheets, continuous forms and cut sheets and
office products. Financial information for each of the Company's segments
including net sales, operating income, total assets, capital expenditures and
sales to major customers, are included in the accompanying financial statements.
No customer accounts for more than 10% of the Company's custom
shipments. However, one customer, Office Depot, Inc., a leading office
superstore, accounts for more than 32% of stock computer paper shipments. The
loss of Office Depot would have a material adverse affect on net sales and gross
profits. We have no reason to believe that this business is in jeopardy since
our relationship is excellent. The Company has been a major supplier to Office
Depot, Inc. for the past seven years. However, there are no contractual
relationships guaranteeing our continued presence as a vendor.
3
EMPLOYEES
- - ---------
As of September 30, 1995, the Company employed approximately 178 people
in manufacturing, sales and administrative functions in its corporate offices
and plants in New Jersey and Texas.
DISTRIBUTION
- - ------------
The Company markets the custom and stock forms products through
approximately 2,500 independent dealers in the United States and Canada, as well
as through retail superstores. The independent distributors rely on several
manufacturers, like the Company, to supply these end users. The distributors
range in size from a single individual to a distributorship with several offices
and an extensive sales force. The Company operates, or contracts for storage
space, in several strategically located warehouses along the east coast,
southeast and southwest regions of the country. These locations are used as the
storage and shipping points for its stock forms. Currently, the Company's
primary method of generating sales contacts is through its own sales force,
sales representatives, extensive marketing programs, referral and reputation.
The sales force consists of a National Sales Manager and five
salespersons covering New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest and
Southwest regions of the eastern United States. A network of independent sales
representatives covering the entire United States has been assembled in fiscal
1995 to sell the new non-paper products through major resellers and retailers.
Several new marketing positions (Director of Sales, Director of Marketing,
Product Manager, and Director of Communications) have been created to support
the new product line. The individuals filling these positions bring over fifty
years of marketing experience to the Company, particularly in the computer
markets that present many opportunities for our new products.
MANUFACTURING
- - -------------
The Company's custom paper products are manufactured in the New Jersey
plant and consists of five rotary presses and one collator. The rotary presses
range in size from 14" to 22" and provide the Company with the ability to
produce a broad spectrum of form sizes. Each piece of machinery requires a
skilled operator; support personnel are required on some equipment. The custom
forms operation runs primarily two shifts per day, however some equipment runs
three shifts. The estimated annual capacity of the custom business is
approximately $12 million in sales at current prices.
The Company's stock form business is manufactured from two locations.
The New Jersey facility has four presses and one collator, and Texas has two
presses and one collator. The majority of the stock forms is produced to be
sold from inventory. Each plant is also capable of producing customized
computer paper or stock forms upon order. The stock operation is three shifts
per day, five days per week, with overtime on an as needed basis. The estimated
annual capacity of the stock business is approximately $55 million in sales at
current prices.
The Company's equipment is very well suited to produce nearly all of the
forms products required by a forms distributor or retailer. The Company
continues to monitor any new product requirements of its forms distributors and
assess what new equipment or equipment modifications are required to produce the
products.
OPERATIONS
- - ----------
The Company owns a 159,000 square foot plant and corporate office in
Burlington, New Jersey and leases a 45,000 square foot plant in Fort Worth,
Texas. Of the approximate 200,000 square feet of space, 5% is devoted to
offices, 50% to warehouse and 45% to paper conversion. There are six stock
presses, five custom presses and three collators operating at the two plants.
There are no union affiliations among the 133 hourly and 45 salaried employees
at the Company's two locations. The Company ships via common
4
carrier trucks either directly to its customers from its plant warehouses or
through contract distribution sites or cross dock sites.
Production capacity far exceed expected demand in stock continuous forms
products and the Company plans on reducing capacity by 30-50% within the next
12-18 months as a result of expiring equipment leases and the sale of equipment.
Current demand approximates 8,500 cartons per day with capacity at close to
13,000 carton per day.
In April, 1995 the Florida plant was closed and certain equipment was
sold or scrapped. In addition, a press was purchased at the expiration of the
lease and resold at a profit. The Company expects to maintain its present two
plants in fiscal 1996, but will continue to reduce capacity whenever possible in
its stock continuous forms business.
Custom forms capacity has been converted from roll to sheeting
capability and will continue over the next two years to address the shift in
demand from continuous forms to cut sheet forms. Currently, 40% of capacity is
directed to custom cut sheets. By 1997, 100% of production will be allocated to
cut sheet products.
The Company has adequate domestic and foreign paper supply sources with
paper mills and brokers at the present time. However, no new mill capacity is
schedule until 1997. The mills are reallocating capacity to higher grade papers
that yield higher margins and, as a result, are de-emphasizing forms bond used
in continuous form production. During the first six months of calendar 1995,
the mills commenced on an allocation program yielding lower levels of supply to
all their customers, including Paris. In addition, the supply of foreign paper
was absorbed in Europe. The resulting tight supply conditions yielded much
higher market prices for the Company, equal to or greater than the higher raw
paper increases. The Company was able to utilize its long term relationships
with the mills and brokers and buying expertise to obtain lower but adequate
paper tonnage to satisfy its customer base and certain new accounts at higher
price levels. Despite unit volume decreasing approximately 60%, pricing
increased at a much greater rate resulting in margins of 30% compared to the
average in prior years of 15%. Paris has negotiated short term supply contracts
for the near term with Boise Cascade for both forms bond and cut sheet supply,
and anticipates sufficient tonnage in fiscal 1996. The Company cannot predict
if tight market conditions will repeat and whether margin opportunities will be
present again in the coming fiscal year.
Due to the paper mill allocations that occurred in the first nine months
of fiscal 1995, Paris built inventory levels far in excess of normal levels,
reaching in excess of three months supply by September, 1995. The Company, like
many of its competitors and dealers, purchased paper in anticipation of future
shortage and even higher prices during the summer of 1995. As of late
September, supply conditions have softened and demand has slowed due to the high
inventory levels at all distribution points. As a result, the Company has
negotiated a moratorium on paper tonnage during the October to December 1995
period to reduce its raw paper inventories to quantities not to exceed 45 days
supply. Short term selective dumping of product may be necessary if pricing
gets too competitive. The Company believes that more normal inventory levels
throughout the system will occur by the end of calendar 1995 and that 1996 will
see less volatile supply and pricing than in the previous year.
OTHER MATTERS
- - -------------
The corporate structure of the Company's legal entities was reorganized
in fiscal 1995. Paris Business Forms, Inc. (PBFI), the public Company,
transferred substantially all of the operating assets and liabilities to a newly
formed subsidiary corporation, Paris Business Products, Inc. (PBP). The Texas
operating corporation, Paris Business Forms, Inc. (PBFITX) and a newly formed
Florida corporation, Paris Business Products, Inc. (PBPFL), are subsidiaries of
PBP. PBFI is now a holding Company which owns the Burlington, New Jersey plant
and cash and near cash investments. PBP, PBFITX and PBPFL are operating
5
corporations. PBF Corporation, a Delaware corporation, owns the Company
trademarks and remains a subsidiary of PBFI.
The Internal Revenue Service is presently engaged in an audit of the
Company's profit sharing plan, corporate tax returns, and employment tax filings
for the periods 1992, 1993 and 1994. The Company believes that total
assessments, interest, and penalties will not exceed $500,000. The Company has
recorded a $500,000 provision on its books as of September 30, 1995.
The Board of Directors have approved a resolution for a Deferred
Compensation Contract with the Chairman of the Board and CEO to pay $100,000 per
year for four years upon termination of employment in recognition of thirty-one
years of service.
ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES
The Burlington, New Jersey facility serves as the corporate office,
manufacturing plant and distribution center. The building has been expanded to
159,000 square feet. The original facility of 116,000 square feet, including
5,000 square feet of office space, was constructed and occupied during the first
half of 1986. The warehouse addition of 34,000 square feet was completed during
the summer of 1988.
The Fort Worth, Texas facility was sold in June, 1994 and replaced by a
45,000 square foot leased facility.
In March 1992 the Company purchased a 70,000 square foot building in
Jacksonville, Florida to expand stock forms operations. The cost of the
building plus improvements was approximately $1.3 million. In April 1995, the
Florida facility was sold for $1,050,000, and the facility was not replaced.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital increased $3,389,000 and cash and cash equivalents
increased $3,147,000 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. Sources of
working capital included net income of $3,451,000, plus the addition of non-cash
expenses such as depreciation of $1,135,000, loss on the sale of property,
plant, and equipment of $368,000, allowance for doubtful accounts of $330,000,
and other expenses of $129,000. The sale of the Jacksonville, Florida plant for
$1,050,000, and the sale of machinery and equipment for $175,000 also
contributed to the increase in working capital. Offsetting these increases were
the reclassification of a term loan from long term debt to short term debt of
$1,324,000, purchases of equipment of $921,000, repayment of long term debt of
$737,000, and other decreases of $267,000. Cash used in operations was
$1,283,000.
Inventories at September 30, 1995 were $17,347,847 as compared to
$4,315,119 at September 30, 1994 principally due to the Company's accelerated
paper purchases in the last quarter of its fiscal year to protect its paper
supply in light of industry paper allocation programs imposed by the paper mills
during the past year. In addition, inventories of new products accounted for
$400,000 of the increase in inventory levels and, in comparison, inventories
were abnormally low at the beginning of the fiscal year. The additional
investment in inventories was financed through trade credit and utilization of
the Company's working capital line of credit.
The Company has a $6,000,000 line of credit available through a commercial
bank at prime rate less one half a percentage point (9.00% at September 30,
1995). The outstanding balance on the line of credit at September 30, 1995 was
$4,926,500. See note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
more detail on the Company's line of credit. The Company also has $5,227,000 in
cash and cash equivalents, and $3,658,000 in diversified marketable securities
at September 30, 1995.
The Company leased two custom presses and two stock form presses in the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. One of the custom presses, purchased at
the end of fiscal 1995, was resold. The remaining custom press lease will expire
in 1996 and the leases on the stock form presses expire in 1997. The Company has
a lease on a 45,000 square foot building in Fort Worth, Texas, which expires in
August, 1999.
The loan outstanding at September, 1995 of $1,650,000 is a term loan with
interest at 75% of the prime rate. See note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more detail on the outstanding debt. The Company
anticipates funding its obligations through cash flow from operations.
Inflation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's sales or earnings.
1995 COMPARED TO 1994
Net sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 increased $7,024,000
or 12% as compared to fiscal 1994, due to increases in average selling prices of
59% in stock continuous forms products and 14% in custom forms resulting in
higher revenues of $18,811,000 and $1,031,000, respectively, in these business
segments. Offsetting the favorable price levels in fiscal 1995 was a decline in
unit volume of 30% or $14,662,000 in the Company's core computer paper business
due to the shrinking market for impact printer paper products averaging
approximately 10% per year and the industry paper supply shortages resulting
from paper mill supply allocations in the Company's third and fourth quarters of
fiscal 1995.
9
Cost of sales remained relatively stable ($67,000 change) in fiscal 1995
versus 1994. The lower sales volume of 30% was offset by higher unit costs of
equal effect due to raw material paper cost escalation during the year.
Gross profit increased $7,091,000 (145%) from fiscal 1994 to fiscal 1995
principally from the net incremental positive margins of $6,514,000 in the stock
computer paper business segment resulting from selling price increases outpacing
higher unit paper costs and declining volume. Conversely lower margins occurred
in the custom business forms segment of $511,000 where higher unit costs could
not be entirely passed on to customers through higher prices. Sales of new
products yielded incremental profit of $700,000. Cost reduction efforts
resulted in significant savings from the closing of various distribution sites
and the Florida manufacturing plant in the amount of $630,000. The cost of
underutilization of factory capacity of $242,000 accounted for the majority of
the remaining gross profit change.
Selling expenses increased $569,000 (33%) due to marketing and staffing
cost associated with new product introductions, including salaries of $175,000,
promotional materials and related expenses of $110,000, advertising expense of
$108,000, trade show expense of $72,000, and other sundry increases of $104,000.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,097,000 (39%) due to the
following: $400,000 for the adoption of a deferred compensation plan, increased
salaries and benefits of $206,000, an increase in bad debt expense of $197,000,
and other sundry increases of $294,000.
Interest expense increased $18,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1995, in comparison to the prior fiscal year. The change resulted from interest
incurred on a working capital loan of $68,000, offset by a decrease of $50,000
due to the paydown of mortgage debt and a bank term loan.
Other net expense increased $348,000 for the fiscal year ended September
30, 1995 in comparison to the prior fiscal year. The increase was due
principally to the loss on equipment sales and the retirement of dormant and
underutilized fixed assets of $368,000. The shutdown of the Jacksonville,
Florida facility comprised $198,000 of the loss on fixed assets.
1994 COMPARED TO 1993
Net sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994 decreased
$1,266,000 (2%) over fiscal year 1993 sales. The decrease in sales is due to the
continued decline in stock computer forms at a rate consistent with the industry
as well as a slowdown in the custom forms business.
Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994 decreased
$2,426,000 (4%) from fiscal 1993. The decrease is due to lower paper prices
throughout most of the year and a decrease in volume.
The gross profit for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994 increased
$1,160,000 (31%) from fiscal 1993. The increase is due principally to lower
paper costs and a significant effort by the Company to control operating costs.
Selling expenses decreased $260,000 (13%) and administration expenses
decreased $648,000 (19%) from Fiscal 1993 to 1994 due to reductions in
personnel, cost reduction programs Company-wide, offset partially by increased
costs for the development of new products.
Income before taxes for fiscal year ended September 30, 1994 increased
$1,711,000 (115%) over Fiscal 1993 principally due to higher profit margins
resulting from lower paper cost and improved pricing strategy, and management's
continuing focus on the reduction of fixed operating expenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Paris Business Forms, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company")
manufacture stock and custom business forms, provide value added services to cut
sheet products, and distribute office products and computer/printer peripheral
products. The Company manufactures stock and custom forms in Burlington, New
Jersey and stock forms in Fort Worth, Texas. The Company markets through
retailers, resellers, and dealers throughout the United States and Canada.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paris Business
Forms, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries with appropriate elimination of
intercompany accounts and transactions.
INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES:
At October 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial "Accounting
Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities: ("SFAS No. 115"). The adoption of SFAS No. 115 resulted in an
increase in stockholders' equity of $36,574, net of taxes of $18,841. In
accordance with SFAS No. 115, prior years financial statements have not been
restated to reflect the change in accounting method.
At September 30, 1995, marketable equity securities have been categorized as
available for sale. Such securities are stated at fair value based upon quoted
market prices. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, are reported as
a separate component of stockholders' equity. At September 30, 1994, marketable
equity securities were stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories are stated at the lower cost or market. Cost is determined by the
first-in, first-out method (FIFO).
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
Expenditures for renewals and betterments which increase the useful life or
capacity of property, plant and equipment are capitalized at cost. Expenditures
for repairs and maintenance are charged to income as incurred. Gain or loss on
the retirement or disposal of capital assets is reflected in income in the
period of disposal.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets.
JOINT VENTURE:
The Company is a joint venture participant with Xerox Corporation in Signature
Corporation, Inc. This investment is accounted for using the equity method.
INCOME TAXES:
Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which changed the criteria for
measuring the provision for income taxes
16
and recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. Income
taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial
statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related
primarily to differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for
financial and income tax reporting. The cumulative effect of the change on prior
years increased net income by $362,000 in 1994.
PER SHARE DATA:
Earnings per share data have been computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding (3,715,317 for the years ending
September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993), plus the dilutive effect of common stock
equivalents (stock options) computed using the treasury stock method which
resulted in an aggregate of 3,795,087 shares in 1995 and 3,715,317 shares in
1994 and 1993.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS AND CASH MANAGEMENT:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers short-term
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
ACQUISITION:
In December 1992, the Company acquired 266,667 shares or 33.3% of the common
stock of a developmental stage joint venture corporation, Signature Corporation,
Inc. ("Signature"), for $333,334 including cash and a note payable for $33,333,
(included in the current portion of long term debt), which was paid November 1,
1993. The Company's rights and obligations related to this investment are
included in the Stock Purchase, Stockholder and License Agreements including
certain common stock warrants and registration rights.
The Company's original investment of $333,334 or 33% of the common stock of
Signature Corporation, Inc., a joint venture, has been written off completely by
the Company's recognition of its equity in the operating losses of Signature of
$129,334 and $204,000 in fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994, respectively. In
addition, the Company paid expenses of Signature, on its behalf, in the amount
of $88,057 and $99,526 in fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994, respectively.
The Company invested $921,499 in property, plant, and equipment during the year,
of which $567,221 relates to a custom press and collator, and $160,500 relates
to computer equipment for the installation of a local area network.
DISPOSITION:
The Jacksonville, Florida facility was sold in April 1995, due to plant
rationalization and reorganization. The net sales proceeds were $978,182 and
the loss realized was $56,955. The retirement of other assets related to the
Jacksonville closing resulted in a loss of $141,291. Other costs expended to
complete the plant shutdown totaled $87,625, resulting in total disposition
costs of $285,871.
The Fort Worth, Texas facility was sold in June 1994 and replaced by a leased
facility in the same city. The net sales proceeds were $854,361 and the gain
realized was $89,158. The gain was included in 1994 in other income.

To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors
Paris Business Forms, Inc.
Burlington, New Jersey:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Paris
Business Forms, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995, and 1994, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholder's equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the period ended September 30, 1995. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Paris
Business Forms, Inc., and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended September 30, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
