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 third quarter of 1995 and 1994
were 7,501 and 7,577, respectively.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
A. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -THIRD QUARTER 1995 COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER OF
1994
The company reported a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.20 per share, in the
third quarter of 1995 compared with a net loss of $0.7 million ($0.10 per
share) in the same quarter of 1994. This decline in performance was
attributable principally to lower unit volume, continued higher-than-
anticipated costs related to the expansion of product and service offerings,
and significant increases in paper costs and related LIFO inventory provision.
The LIFO inventory adjustment had a negative impact on net earnings per share
of $0.13 in the current quarter.
The Company has adjusted selling prices to reflect the rise in paper costs,
however, pressure on margins continues, reflecting the highly competitive
nature of the marketplace. The supply of bond paper has improved somewhat, and
Duplex has been able to satisfy customer requirements. The Company does not
anticipate a material change in this situation in the foreseeable future.
Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 were $64.4 million, up 0.7% from the
$64.0 million posted in the comparable period in 1994, with lower unit volume
essentially offseting selling price gains. The decline in unit volume was
attributable to softness in overall market demand and a reduction of the
Company's sales coverage due to the departure of sales personnel. An
aggressive recruiting program is underway to rebuild and expand the sales
force.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 21.5% for the third quarter of 1995
compared with 24.1% in the year-earlier period. This year's rate was depressed
3.2 percentage points due to the increase in the LIFO inventory provision.
Under-utilization of plant capacity because of the decline in physical volume
also had a negative impact on gross profit.
Selling, general, and administrative costs totaled $16.7 million (25.9% of
sales) in 1995's third quarter, an increase of $0.2 million from $16.5 million
(25.9% of sales) in the same period of 1994.

The Company's operating loss increased to $2.9 million in the third quarter of
this year from $1.2 million a year ago.
Other income totaled $0.4 million for the third quarter, up $0.4 million over
last year. The increase was attributable primarily to gain on the sale of
facilities.
B. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NINE MONTHS 1995 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS 1994
For the first nine months of 1995, Duplex incurred a net loss of $1.3 million
($0.17 per share) as contrasted with a net loss of $16.7 million ($2.19 per
share) for the first nine months of last year. Last year's results were
negatively impacted by the effect of restructuring charges ($7.3 million) and
an accounting change ($7.1 million). Excluding these items, year-to-date
performance represented a $1.0 million improvement over results a year ago.
This improvement was driven principally by growth in revenues and reductions in
manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher product and service expansion
costs, significant increases in paper costs and related LIFO inventory
provision, and higher operating expenses.
The Company posted net sales of $207.3 million for the first three quarters of
this year, up 6.0% from the $195.6 million reported in the corresponding period
in 1994. This increase reflected higher selling prices, offset in part by a
decline in volume of shipments.
For the first nine months of the year, gross profit as a percentage of sales
was 23.0%, down 0.4 percentage points from the previous year.
Selling, general, and administrative costs totaled $50.3 million (24.3% of
sales) in 1995's first nine months, an increase of $0.9 million from $49.4
million (25.2% of sales) in the same period of 1994. This increase was due
primarily to higher spending on training, sales promotion, and process
improvement.
Excluding the impact of 1994 restructuring charges, the operating loss in the
first nine months of 1995 ($2.5 million) represented a $1.1 million improvement
from last year's level.
For the first three quarters of this year, other income amounted to $0.5
million. This was a $0.5 million increase over last year due largely to higher
gain on the disposition of facilities and equipment.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital of $65.5 million at the end of the third quarter of 1995 was
$6.0 million lower than at year-end 1994. This reduction was driven primarily
by declines in cash, receivables, and inventory balances, partially offset by
lower accounts payable and accrued expense levels. The current ratio at July
29, 1995 was 3.6 to 1, up 0.5 from the corresponding year-earlier date.
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 July 29, 1995 was $6.1 million, down $1.1 million
from year-end 1994. Total debt as a percentage of total capital was 5.8% at
the end of 1995's third quarter, 0.9 percentage points lower than at the end of
1994.
-7-

Cash and equivalents at the end of 1995's third quarter were $11.4 million, a
decrease of $5.0 million from year-end 1994. A similar decline in cash and
equivalents occurred in the first nine months of 1994.
During the first three quarters of 1995, $3.6 million was provided by operating
activities, up $2.1 million from 1994's $1.5 million level. This generation of
cash was driven primarily by depreciation and decreases in receivable and
inventory balances, partially offset by a reduction in accrued expenses,
principally payroll, employee benefit, and restructuring costs.
Cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 1995 aggregated
$7.0 million, consisting primarily of $2.5 million for the purchase of
long-term securities and $5.1 million for capital expenditures. This year's
capital expenditures were $3.2 million higher than in the previous year and
were incurred primarily to upgrade and increase the operating efficiency of
manufacturing equipment.
Cash consumed by financing activities decreased to $1.5 million in the first
nine months of 1995 from $2.4 million a year earlier. The decrease was due
primarily to the drop in restricted stock repurchases.
