Note 5 - Common Stock Data
Authorized common stock consisted of 20,000 shares having a par value of $1.00
per share. Average shares outstanding for the first quarter of 1995 and 1994

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Results of Operations
The Company reported net earnings of $0.6 million, or $0.09 per share, in the
first quarter of 1995 compared with a net loss of $7.0 million ($0.92 per
share) in the prior year quarter. The cumulative effect of accounting changes
depressed last year s earnings by $7.0 million, or $0.92 per share.
The $0.6 million improvement in earnings before accounting changes in
the first quarter of 1995 was attributable principally to higher revenues and
continued improvement in manufacturing productivity, partially offset by
significantly higher paper costs, the increased LIFO provision, and higher
operating expenses. The LIFO provision increase, driven by paper cost inflation,
had a negative impact on net earnings per share of $0.13.
The Company has been successful in adjusting its selling prices to reflect the
rise in paper costs. While bond paper continues to be in short supply, Duplex
has been able to satisfy customer requirements by virtue of its long-standing
relationship with suppliers and through adjustments made to product mix. The
Company does not anticipate a material change in this situation in the
foreseeable future.
Net sales for the first quarter of 1995 were $73.3 million, up 12.2% from the
$65.4 million reported in the comparable period in 1994. Net sales in this
year s first quarter represented the highest quarterly level since the second
quarter of 1991. Most of the Company s product lines experienced sales growth
over the same period in 1994.
7
Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 24.7% for the first three months of
1995 compared with 24.5% in the year earlier period. Excluding the impact of
the LIFO provision, this year s gross margin rate was 27.0%, up 3.0 percentage
points from a year ago.
Selling, general, and administrative costs aggregated $17.1 million (23.3% of
sales) in 1995 s first quarter, an increase of $1.2 million from $15.9 million
(24.3% of sales) in the same period of 1994. This increase was due primarily
to higher spending on training, sales promotion, process improvement, and the
development and management of new products and services.
Operating profit in the first quarter of 1995 increased $0.9 million from the
prior year period, to $1.0 million, and represented the third consecutive
quarter of improved financial performance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
While net working capital at the end of the first quarter of 1995 of $71.7
million was at approximately the same level as at year-end 1994, material
account balance changes in the current period included a $5.0 million increase
in accounts and notes receivable and a $4.2 million decline in cash and
equivalents, which are discussed below. The current ratio at January 28, 1995
was 3.1 to 1, the same as at year-end 1994.
Management believes that the current level of working capital will be adequate
to cover the Company s liquidity needs related to normal operations in the
foreseeable future. Sufficient resources are deemed to exist to support the
Company s growth through a combination of currently available cash, cash to be
generated from future operations, or additional short-term borrowings.
The Company s total debt at January 28, 1995 was $7.0 million, down $0.2
million from year-end 1994. Total debt as a percentage of total capital was
6.5% at the end of 1995 s first quarter, 0.2 percentage points lower than at
the end of 1994.
Cash and equivalents at the end of 1995 s first quarter were $12.2 million.
This was a decrease of $4.2 million during the first three months of 1995
compared with a decline of $3.7 million during the same 1994 period.
During the first quarter of 1995, $2.4 million was used by operating
activities, up $0.8 million from first quarter 1994's usage of $1.6 million.
The operating cash flow usage in 1995 s first three months occurred primarily
because of an increase in accounts receivable generated by strong sales near
the end of the quarter, partially offset by net earnings and depreciation.
First quarter 1994's operating cash flow usage was attributable principally to
a decline in accounts payable balances, offset, in part, by depreciation.
Capital expenditures totaled $1.5 million in the first quarter of this year
compared with $0.6 million in the year earlier quarter. Expenditures in 1995
were made primarily to upgrade and increase the operating efficiency of
manufacturing equipment.
Cash consumed by financing activities decreased to $0.3 million in the first
quarter of 1995 from $1.5 million a year earlier. The decrease was due
primarily to a drop in restricted stock repurchases in 1995 s first three
months.
