ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
John H. Harland Company (the "Company" or the "Registrant") was founded in 1923 as a general printer and lithographer. Today, the Company is a leading printer and supplier of checks, business documents and forms to the financial industry. The Company also designs and produces optical mark reading ("OMR") and optical character recognition ("OCR") forms and equipment for use in educational and commercial markets. The Company, a Georgia corporation, is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and operates primarily in the printing industry. In addition, the Company operates one major subsidiary, Scantron Corporation ("Scantron"). Scantron produces and provides OMR equipment and scannable forms to the educational and commercial markets. Scantron is a Delaware corporation based in Tustin, California. In November 1991, Scantron acquired the remaining 50% of Datascan, its European partner in OMR/OCR machine development and distribution, for $3 million. In September 1993, Scantron acquired Economics Research, Inc. ("ERI"), a software company based in Costa Mesa, California. ERI provides test development, scoring, analysis and grade management products for educational markets. In February 1992, the Company acquired the net assets of Interchecks Inc. ("Interchecks"), a Seattle, Washington-based check printer for $50 million in cash. Interchecks was purchased from the United Kingdom company Bowater plc through its United States subsidiary Rexham Inc. On January 1, 1993, the Company acquired substantially all the net assets of Rocky Mountain Bank Note Company ("RMBN"), a Lakewood, Colorado-based check printer, for $37.9 million in cash. A portion of the consideration was financed through borrowings under the Company's unsecured line of credit and the balance was paid in cash. RMBN assets were purchased from ROMO Corp., the sole shareholder of RMBN. In October 1993, the Company announced the formation of a new subsidiary, The Check Store, Inc. ("The Check Store"), which will market checks and related products directly to consumers. The Check Store will become operational during the first half of 1994. On January 7, 1994, the Company acquired Marketing Profiles, Inc. ("MPI"). MPI is based in Maitland, Florida and is a database marketing and consulting company which provides software products and related marketing services to the financial industry. On March 24, 1994, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to purchase the net assets of FormAtion Technologies, Inc.("FTI"). FTI develops, markets and supports lending and platform automation software for the financial services industry. The FTI acquisition is expected to be completed by March 31, 1994. Both the MPI and FTI transactions were for cash amounts which are not considered material. During 1993, the Company developed three strategic alliances with independent companies to provide its financial industry customers with additional services and products. Through its alliance with TeleCheck Services, Inc., the nation's leading provider of check authorization and related guarantee services, the Company addresses security and fraud concerns of financial institutions. Through Cardpro Services, Inc., a nationwide provider of magnetic stripe cards, the Company provides full-service plastic card programs for financial institutions. Through its alliance with Bottomline Technologies, Inc. , a leader in desktop printing of magnetic ink character recognition ("MICR") readable documents, the Company offers point of service production capabilities of MICR readable documents.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS UNITS
Overview In 1993, the Company operated under two business units, the Financial Services Group ("FSG") and the Data Services Group ("DSG"). Both units oper- ate primarily within the printing industry segment. FSG provides financial documents to support America's payment systems. DSG's principal operation is the production of data collection forms which are used in conjunction with form reading equipment. Approximately 95% of the Company's consolidated revenues during the three years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, were from sales of checks and related items, business documents, and scannable forms. Approximately 5% of the Company's consolidated revenues during the periods were from sales of scanning equipment and revenues from other areas.
Financial Services Group FSG includes the Company's check printing operations and specialty printing operations. FSG's principal products consist of MICR encoded checks, deposit tickets and related forms for financial institutions and their customers. The product line consists of a number of different styles of checks including scenic checks, which incorporate multi-colored backgrounds, personal and business three-to-the-page checks and carbonized payroll, voucher, window, and computer generated checks (includes continuous form checks and checks produced with laser printers). In 1993, FSG's overall prices of its checks and related products remained essentially unchanged from 1992 due to competitive conditions in the check printing industry. FSG, through its specialty print operations, also produces a number of printed or lithographed custom printed packages, forms, business products and computer-related documents for sale to financial institutions and other commercial establishments. Such custom printed items include specially designed checks and deposit tickets printed with a customer's individual design, magnetically encoded internal control documents and carbon- interleaved forms. FSG's documents are printed on stock lithographed in its 7 base stock plants and at its specialty printing plant. FSG imprints checks and related product documents at its 50 check printing facilities located in 33 states and 1 plant in Puerto Rico. All of these plants are devoted exclusively to printing checks, deposit tickets and related forms. FSG's products are marketed across the United States and in Puerto Rico through a sales force of approximately 360 personnel. FSG's sales organization is organized by customer type through three distinct sales support units, Primary, National and Business Services. The Primary sales unit, consisting of approximately 280 sales representatives, serves community based financial institutions. The National Accounts sales unit of 70 sales representatives serves the top 400 financial institutions in the country. The Business Services unit, consisting of approximately 10 representatives, serves selected retail markets such as superstores, software companies and catalog merchandisers. The primary responsibility of the sales force is to consult with customers regarding their needs and provide solutions to meet those needs. FSG also uses catalogs, brochures and similar sales aides to present solutions to customers.
Data Services Group The DSG provides creative data collection and management solutions for its customers. Data collection represents diverse technologies with similar
objectives -- converting information into a computer-compatible format, then providing information that can be used for a specific function. DSG concentrates on the production and distribution of OMR, OCR and imaging forms and systems within the data collection market. DSG's principal products are scanning equipment and the scannable forms used in conjunction with the equipment. DSG also offers maintenance services for the scanning machines and software products related to data collection and analysis activities. DSG forms and equipment are used as a solution for capturing, tabulating and analyzing data. DSG's primary market is the educational field for test scoring and grade reporting. Within the commercial sector, DSG equipment and forms are used to collect and analyze survey responses, inventory informa- tion, employee evaluations, order information and other forms of data collec- tion and analysis. The products are marketed primarily through 193 sales and service representatives located in 49 locations throughout the United States and 2 locations in Canada. Representatives sell and place new equipment and provide ongoing assistance, such as machine servicing and development of new forms. DSG's products are also marketed in certain foreign countries through distributorships.
Other Information Relating to Business of the Company
Seasonal Business There is a seasonal nature to DSG's business in the educational market, but it does not significantly affect the Company's consolidated results.
Patent, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions On February 4, 1992, the Company received a patent on a Scannable Form and System developed by Scantron. This patent expires February 4, 2009. Also, the Company has trademarks on names of several of its products and services. The Company believes these patents and trademarks impact business, however, it does not consider any of them to be critical to its operation.
Competition Financial Services Group -- At the present time, there are a number of domestic companies specializing in the production of MICR encoded checks and related items similar to those produced by the Company. The Company believes that the primary competitive factors considered by customers are printing accuracy, service capabilities, price and the availability of a complete product line. The Company compares favorably with its competitors with regard to these above mentioned factors. Although complete statistics on check production are not available, the Company believes it is among the largest printers of MICR encoded personalized checks in the United States. One other printer has substantially greater sales and financial resources than the Company. Technological advancements in electronics have created possible alternatives to the check as a medium of transferring funds. While electronic funds transfer has gained acceptance for some applications, it has had minimal acceptance by consumers as a mode of personal payment. At this time, the Company cannot determine or predict what effect this technology may eventually have on the check printing business. Data Services Group -- The data collection market is a highly fragmented industry, with many large and small competitors, and is growing at approximately 15% annually. DSG products are sold mainly in the United States with minor sales activity in Puerto Rico, Canada, Europe, the Middle East and
the Far East. Scannable forms are produced by commercial and specialized forms printers throughout the United States. DSG has attempted to identify and develop specialized products for niche markets. DSG believes it is the leading provider of OMR stand-alone equipment to the educational market in the United States. In Canada, one competitor has substantially larger sales. The loss of any one customer in the FSG or DSG would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Raw Materials The Company purchases its principal raw materials (safety paper, form paper and MICR bond) from several large domestic manufacturers. Past conditions in the paper market have resulted in temporary increases in paper prices and required advanced scheduling of paper deliveries. However, raw materials have traditionally been readily available, and the Company has never experienced a paper shortage. The Company purchases other raw materials, such as vinyl (used in the production of check book covers), inks, checkboards, packaging materials and miscellaneous paper from a number of suppliers. The components used in the assembly and manufacturing of the OMR equipment are purchased from equipment manufacturers, supply firms and others. The Company has no reason to believe that it cannot continue to obtain such materials or suitable substitutes for its operation. The Company has no long- term contracts with any of its raw material suppliers.
Number of Employees As of December 31, 1993, the Company and its subsidiaries employed ap- proximately 7,300 people (includes 649 temporary employees).

The financial statements and related financial information included in this report were prepared by the Company in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Management's best estimates and judgments were used, where appropriate.

The consolidated financial statements and supplementary financial schedules have been audited by the Company's independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of John H. Harland Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of John H. Harland Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in Item 14(a)2. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of John H. Harland Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes to conform with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109.

JOHN H. HARLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of John H. Harland Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of inventory for checks and related forms is determined by average costing. Cost of scannable forms and hardware component parts inventories is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Cost of data entry terminals is determined by the specific identification method. Investments - Short-term investments are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market, and consist primarily of certificates of deposit and demand notes with original maturities in excess of three months. Marketable equity securities included in long-term investments are carried at the lower of cost or market. Other long-term investments are carried principally at cost. Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation of buildings is computed primarily by the declining balance method. Depreciation of equipment, furniture and fixtures is calculated by the straight-line or sum-of-the-years digits methods. Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the life of the property, whichever is shorter. Accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes for all property where it is allowed. Goodwill and Other Intangibles - Amortization of goodwill is calculated by the straight-line method over a 40-year period. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of goodwill based on its judgment as to the future profitability of its operations. Other intangible assets consist primarily of purchased customer lists and non-compete covenants. Amortization of other intangible assets is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful life which is primarily a 5-year period. Net Income Per Share - Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common share equivalents outstanding during each year which was 32,460,128 for 1993, 35,688,645 for 1992 and 37,468,637 for 1991. Common share equivalents include the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company's stock options and the conversion of convertible securities. The difference between primary and fully diluted common share equivalents is not significant. Income Taxes - Effective Jan. 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109") in which deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
2. BUSINESS SEGMENTS: The Company operates principally within the printing industry.
-F9-
3. ACQUISITIONS: On January 1, 1993, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the net assets of the Denver-based Rocky Mountain Bank Note Company ("RMBN") for cash of $37.9 million and acquisition related costs of approximately $8.9 million. The purchase was funded through short-term borrowings of $18.0 million and by internally generated funds. The acquisi- tion has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the acquired net assets and operations have been included in the consolidated financial state- ments from the date of acquisition. Assets acquired totaled $46.8 million, net of liabilities assumed of $2.0 million. Of the total acquisition cost, $25.7 million was allocated to intangible assets, of which $10.7 million represented goodwill. On February 19, 1992, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the net assets of Interchecks Inc. ("Interchecks"), a Seattle, Washington-based check printer for a cash purchase price of $50 million and acquisition related costs of $9.4 million. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the acquired net assets and operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Assets acquired totaled $59.4 million, net of liabilities assumed of $4.7 million. Of the total acquisition cost, $38.4 million was allocated to intangible assets, of which $13.4 million represented goodwill. The following represents the unaudited pro forma results of operations which assumes the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the respective year in which the assets were acquired as well as the beginning of the immediately preceding year. These results include certain adjustments, primarily increased amortization of intangible assets, reduced interest income and reduced depreciation expense (in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts): 1992 1991 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales $ 539,889 $ 453,541 Income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle 55,968 45,938 Net income 55,968 43,553 Per common share: Income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle 1.57 1.21 Net income 1.57 1.15
The pro forma financial information presented above does not purport to be indicative of either the results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisitions taken place at the beginning of the periods presented or of future results of operations of the combined businesses.
4. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE: During the fourth quarter of 1991, the Company recorded a provision of $12,191,000 for the restructuring and revaluation of certain subsidiaries and investments of $9,191,000 and for taxes of $3,000,000 for the repatriation of earnings from Puerto Rico. The Company's policy had been to invest such earnings long term to avoid the payment of taxes upon repatriation.
5. INVESTMENTS AND OTHER ASSETS: Long-term investments at December 31, 1993 primarily consisted of investments in limited partnerships. Other assets at December 31, 1992 included a $31,900,000 deposit related to the acquisition of RMBN.
-F10-
6. SHORT-TERM DEBT: At December 31, 1993, the Company had available unsecured lines of credit under which it could borrow up to $111,000,000 in the form of short-term notes for which no compensating balances or commitment fees are required. At December 31, 1992, the Company had borrowed $18,000,000 under the lines of credit at an interest rate of 3.8%. No amounts were outstanding under the lines of credit at December 31, 1993. In addition, the Company had outstanding at December 31, 1993 and 1992 an Industrial Revenue Bond, due on demand, in the amount of $4,000,000 which bears interest at an average rate of 5.26%.
7. LONG-TERM DEBT: The Company's long-term debt consists of (in thousands):
1993 1992 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Series A Senior Notes $ 85,000 Term Loan 15,000 Convertible Subordinated Debentures 10,600 $ 10,579 Other 1,477 2,573 ----------------------- 112,077 13,152 Less current portion 535 530 ----------------------- Long-term Debt $ 111,542 $ 12,622 =======================
In December 1993, the Company issued $85,000,000 of Series A Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") and arranged a $15,000,000 Term Loan ("Term Loan"). The Senior Notes and the Term Loan are at fixed interest rates of 6.60% and 6.63%, respectively. The Senior Notes mature from 2004 to 2008 and the Term Loan is due 2003. Both the Term Loan and the Senior Notes contain certain covenants, the most restrictive of which limit the amount of funded indebtedness of the Company and require the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. At December 31, 1993, the Company was in compliance with the covenants associated with these agreements. The Company's 6.75% convertible subordinated debentures are convertible into common stock of the Company at any time prior to maturity, at a conversion price of $25.17 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events. At December 31, 1993, there were 328,249 shares of common stock reserved for conversion of the debentures. The debentures are entitled to an annual mandatory sinking fund, commencing June 1, 1996, calculated to retire 75% of the debentures prior to maturity in 2011. The debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Company at specific redemption prices plus accrued interest. The debentures are subordinated to all senior debt. Other long-term debt relates principally to capitalized lease obligations. Annual maturities of long-term debt including sinking fund requirements during the next five years are: 1994-$535,000; 1995-$519,000; 1996-$813,000; 1997-$559,000; and 1998-$550,000.
8. INCOME TAXES: Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS 109. Previously, the Company had computed its income tax expense in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 109 was not significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
-F11-
The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 (including the impact of the accounting change in 1991) includes the following (in thousands): 1993 1992 1991 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Current: Federal $ 28,350 $ 29,709 $ 29,259 State 7,090 4,055 4,959 -------------------------------------- Total 35,440 33,764 34,218 -------------------------------------- Deferred: Federal (1,999) (1,879) (5,254) State (289) (256) (513) -------------------------------------- Total (2,288) (2,135) (5,767) -------------------------------------- Total $ 33,152 $ 31,629 $ 28,451 ====================================== The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company's net deferred tax asset and liability as of December 31, 1993 are as follows (in thousands): - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Current deferred tax asset: Accrued vacation $ 2,634 Other accrued liabilities 4,742 Other (682) -------- Total 6,694 -------- Noncurrent deferred tax liability: Difference between book and tax basis of property (13,976) Other liabilities 5,542 Postretirement benefit obligation 2,085 Other (44) -------- Total (6,393) Valuation allowance 0 Net deferred tax asset $ 301 ======== A reconciliation between the Federal income tax statutory rate and the Company's effective income tax rate is as follows: 1993 1992 1991 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Statutory rate 35.0% 34.0% 34.0% State and local income taxes net of Federal income tax benefit 5.0 4.3 4.0 Income from Puerto Rico (3.7) (3.3) (2.3) Other, net 2.4 0.8 1.8 ---------------------------------- Effective income tax rate 38.7% 35.8% 37.5% ==================================
-F12-
9. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY: Each share of common stock includes a stock purchase right which is not currently exercisable but would become exercisable upon occurrence of certain events as provided for in the Rights Agreement. The rights expire on July 5, 1999.
10. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN: The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which employees are granted an option to purchase shares of the Company's common stock during the quarter in which the option is granted. The option price is 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the beginning or end of the quarter, whichever is lower. Options for shares were exercised at prices ranging from $18.70 to $23.06 in 1993, $17.64 to $20.24 in 1992 and $16.26 to $19.60 in 1991. At December 31, 1993, there were 672,657 shares of common stock reserved for purchase under the plan.
11. STOCK OPTION PLANS: The Company has granted incentive and non-qualified stock options to certain key employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. The options generally become exercisable one year from the date of grant. Option transactions during the three years ended December 31, 1993 are as follows: Exercise Shares Price - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance, December 31, 1990 460,541 $ 9.11 - 25.13 Options Granted 68,000 22.75 Exercised (76,202) 9.11 - 21.88 Cancelled (47,100) 21.88 - 25.13 --------- Balance, December 31, 1991 405,239 9.11 - 25.13 Options Granted 92,500 23.88 - 24.75 Exercised (90,414) 9.11 - 23.50 Cancelled (47,176) 11.59 - 25.13 --------- Balance, December 31, 1992 360,149 9.11 - 24.75 Options Granted 102,157 23.88 - 26.25 Exercised (55,467) 9.11 - 23.50 Cancelled (31,151) 11.34 - 24.75 --------- Balance, December 31, 1993 375,688 9.11 - 26.25 =========
At December 31, 1993, there were options for 273,531 shares exercisable and 682,978 shares of common stock reserved for options under the plans.
12. PROFIT SHARING AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION: The Company has a non- contributory profit sharing plan to provide retirement income for most of its employees. The Company is required to contribute to the profit sharing plan's trust fund an amount equal to 7.5% of its income before income taxes and profit sharing contribution plus such additional amount as the Board of Directors may determine, up to a maximum of 15% of the aggregate compensation of participating employees (see Consolidated Statements of Income).
-F13-
The Company has deferred compensation agreements with certain officers. The present value of cash benefits payable under the agreements is being provided over the periods of active employment. The charge to expense for the agreements was $345,000 in 1993, $286,000 in 1992 and $463,000 in 1991.
13. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS: The Company sponsors two defined postretirement benefit plans that cover qualifying salaried and non-salaried employees. One plan provides health care benefits and the other provides life insurance benefits. The medical plan is contributory and contributions are adjusted annually based on actual claims experience, while the life insurance plan is noncontributory. The Company's intent is that the retiree provide approximately 50% of the actual cost of providing the medical plan. Neither plan is funded. In 1991, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and elected immediate recognition of the transition amount of $3,816,000 ($2,385,000 after income taxes). As of December 31, 1993, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation ("APBO") was $7,614,000. The following table reconciles the plans' status to the accrued postretirement health care and life insurance liability as reflected on the balance sheet as of December 31, (in thousands):
1993 1992 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ APBO: Retirees $ 1,890 $ 1,834 Fully eligible participants 1,790 1,057 Other participants 3,934 2,907 -------------------- 7,614 5,798 Unrecognized net loss (1,195) (457) --------------------- Accrued postretirement benefit obligation - included in Other Liabilities $ 6,419 $ 5,341 =====================
Net postretirement costs are summarized as follows (in thousands):
1993 1992 1991 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Service costs $ 245 $ 184 $ 131 Interest on APBO 523 456 338 -------------------------------- Net periodic postretirement cost $ 768 $ 640 $ 469 ================================
For measurement purposes, the cost of providing medical benefits was assumed to increase by 12% in 1993, decreasing to an annual rate of 7.5% after 1998. The medical cost trend rate assumption could have a significant effect on amounts reported. An increase of 1% in the assumed rate of increase would have had the effect of increasing the APBO by $851,000 and the net periodic postretirement cost by $113,000. The weighted average discount rate used in determining the APBO was 7.5% in 1993, 8.5% in 1992 and 9% in 1991 and employee earnings were estimated to increase 4.5% annually until age 65.
-F14-
14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Short-term investments - The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Long-term investments - The fair values of certain investments are estimated based on quoted market prices. The fair values of the Company's investments in limited partnerships are based on estimates by general partners in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. For the Company's other investments, which are not actively traded and are immaterial, fair value is based on an estimate of the net realizable value of those investments. Long-term debt - The fair values of the Company's convertible debentures are based on recent market quotes. The fair value of the other long-term debt is based on estimated rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities. The carrying value and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1993 and 1992 are as follows (in thousands):
Carrying Value Fair Value 1993 1992 1993 1992 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Assets: Short-term investments $ 1,900 $ 150 $ 1,900 $ 150 Long-term investments 8,103 7,705 9,169 8,601 Liabilities: Long-term debt 111,542 12,622 112,105 13,931
15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Total rental expense was $12,257,000 in 1993, $6,969,000 in 1992, and $3,731,000 in 1991. Minimum annual rentals under non-cancellable operating leases total $22,471,000 and range from $7,536,000 in 1994 to $1,847,000 in 1998.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT: On January 7, 1994, the Company acquired Marketing Profiles, Inc. ("MPI") for $18,000,000 in cash and a contingent purchase payment payable in 1997 to the former MPI shareholders. The contingent purchase payment is based upon a multiple of MPI's 1996 operating results as defined in the acquisition agreement. The acquisition price was funded with a portion of the proceeds received in the December 1993 issuance of long-term debt (See Note 7). The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of MPI will be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. MPI is based in Maitland, Florida and is a database marketing and consulting company which provides software products and related marketing services to the financial industry.

JOHN H. HARLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1993 versus 1992 1993 consolidated net sales increased $74.5 million or 16.7% over 1992 and represented the 44th consecutive year of sales increases. The Company's Financial Services Group ("FSG") had a net sales increase of $72.1 million or 18.4% which consisted of an 18.1% increase in units and a price and product mix increase of 0.3%. The FSG sales increase is attributable to the acquisition of Rocky Mountain Bank Note Company ("RMBN") in January 1993 coupled with the impact of the February 1992 acquisition of Interchecks, Inc. ("Interchecks") (see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Competitive pricing pressures within the check printing industry contributed to the mild change in the FSG price and product mix. Net sales by the Company's Data Services Group ("DSG") increased $2.4 million or 4.6% in 1993 primarily due to increases in hardware sales and service-related revenues while 1993 form sales were flat compared to 1992. The hardware sales and service-related revenue increases offset sales decreases by DSG's European sales subsidiary Datascan and the loss of revenues associated with American Testronics Company, the assets of which were sold in June 1992. Consolidated cost of goods sold increased $52.2 million or 22.1% and increased as a percentage of sales to 55.6% from 53.2% in 1992. FSG's cost of goods sold increased as a percentage of sales to 56.0% from 53.4% in 1992 primarily due to acquired operations, which had lower margins, and duplication of costs during integration of acquired operations. FSG achieved labor productivity improvements of 0.6% in 1993. DSG's cost of goods sold increased slightly as a percentage of sales to 51.8% in 1993 from 51.1% in 1992. DSG's gross margin improved as a result of the 1992 sale of American Testronics Company, which had lower margins, but the improvement was offset by increased machine sales and service-related revenues, which have lower margins than forms, and by increased product development costs. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased $14.0 million or 12.6% in 1993 primarily due to acquired operations, higher information systems costs and increases in employee health care costs. As a percentage of sales, consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 25.0% in 1992 to 24.1% in 1993. The consolidation of selling and certain administrative functions of the acquired operations was a primary factor contributing to this decrease. Profit sharing costs increased $0.5 million but decreased as a percentage of sales from 2.0% in 1992 to 1.9% in 1993. Due to the February 1992 acquisition of Interchecks and the January 1993 acquisition of RMBN, amortization of intangibles increased $4.0 million over 1992 and was 1.7% as a percentage of sales in 1993 compared to 1.1% in 1992. Of the total 1993 amortization of intangibles, $8.0 million relates to intangible assets which are being amortized over 5 years. Interest and other income (expense) - net decreased $6.4 million from 1992. The primary components of the change were gains of $3.4 million realized in 1992 on the dispositions of American Testronics Company and the Puerto Rico bond investment portfolio and increased interest expense, which totaled $2.6 million in 1993 due to increased levels of debt. Another component of the interest and other income (expense) - net change was reduced interest income earned in 1993 due to lower average cash and investment balances. Income before income taxes decreased $2.6 million or 2.9% from 1992 and
-F17-
decreased as a percentage of sales from 19.8% in 1992 to 16.5% in 1993. The effective consolidated income tax rate for 1993 was 38.7% compared to 35.8% in 1992. The effective tax rate increased primarily as a result of the Omnibus Tax Reconciliation Act of 1993, which increased the federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 35%, and certain nonrecurring tax exempt items and higher tax exempt income in 1992.
1992 versus 1991 Consolidated 1992 sales increased $66.3 million or 17.5% over 1991. Both FSG and DSG experienced sales increases with FSG contributing $60.7 million of the increase and DSG contributing $5.6 million. FSG's sales growth was attributable to a 25.7% increase in check unit production tempered by a 7.4% reduction from price and product mix. The unit increase came principally from the new business obtained through the acquisition of Interchecks in February 1992 with a lesser portion due to an increase in FSG's core business. Lower pricing in 1992 resulted from competitive conditions in the check printing industry. DSG's sales increased 11.8% partially due to the consolidation of Datascan's results of operations after acquisition of the remaining 50% of Datascan's stock in December 1991 and to sales increases in educational markets. Consolidated gross profit margin declined in 1992 to 46.8% from 49.9% in 1991. Margins in both FSG and DSG were negatively impacted by acquired operations (Interchecks and Datascan, respectively); however, FSG realized an increase in labor efficiency of 3.6% in its core operations as a result of completion of the conversion to offset printing and computerized production systems in 1991. DSG's margin declines were moderated by the sales increase in standard forms in its educational markets which generally provide higher margins. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $17.0 million in 1992 or 18.1% and, as a percentage of sales, increased to 25.0% from 24.8% in 1991. The primary components of this increase were employee health care costs, the costs of enhanced data processing systems, expenses of acquired operations and marketing costs associated with customer relations. Profit sharing costs increased $1.0 million but decreased as a percentage of sales from 2.1% in 1991 to 2.0% in 1992. Amortization of intangibles costs associated with the acquired operations totaled $4.7 million or 1.1% as a percentage of sales. Interest and other income decreased $0.5 million or 9.5% from 1991, which is attributable to both lower interest rates and significantly lower investment balances, a result of the use of funds for the acquisitions of Interchecks and Datascan and for the stock repurchase program. The reduced interest and other income was offset by $3.4 million of gains realized in the sale of the Puerto Rico bond investment portfolio and the sale of the assets of American Testronics Company. The Company's effective consolidated income tax rate decreased to 35.8% from 37.5% primarily due to the higher level of tax exempt income in 1992.
Outlook The Company will continue its efforts to further diversify its business during 1994. On January 7, 1994, the Company acquired Marketing Profiles, Inc. ("MPI"), a database marketing and consulting company which provides software products and related marketing services to the financial industry. See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In October 1993, the Company announced the formation of a new subsidiary, The Check Store, Inc. ("The Check Store"), which will market checks and related products directly to consumers. The direct marketing of checks and related products to consumers is currently the fastest growing segment of the
-F18-
check printing market and The Check Store, which will become operational during the first half of 1994, represents the Company's entry into this distribution channel. It is anticipated that The Check Store will have lower margins than the Company's traditional check printing operations and, due to start-up costs and expenditures for marketing and product development, will negatively impact the Company's results and cash flows during 1994. The Company is unable to determine if or when The Check Store operations will contribute positively to cash flow or operating results. The Company expects that its check printing operations will continue to experience competitive pricing pressures during 1994, and as a result the price component of changes in revenue might be flat or negative. However, the Company anticipates that profit margins should experience a slight improvement in 1994 as a result of the continued integration of acquired operations along with other cost control measures.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Cash flows provided by operations in 1993 were $90.7 million compared to $78.4 million in 1992, an increase of 15.7%. The primary uses of funds in 1993 were for the purchase of the Company's common stock, the acquisition of the net assets of RMBN, additions to property, plant and equipment and dividends paid to the Company's shareholders. In December 1993, the Company issued $85.0 million of Series A Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") with a final maturity of December 2008, and also arranged a $15.0 Million Term Loan ("Term Loan") due December 2003. The Senior Notes and the Term Loan have a fixed annual interest rate of 6.60% and 6.63%, respectively. Proceeds from these obligations were used to repay amounts outstanding under short-term lines of credit and to fund the January 1994 purchase of MPI and will be used to fund additional purchases of Company stock and for general corporate purposes. The Company has unsecured lines of credit which provide for borrowing up to $111.0 million. At December 31, 1993, no amounts were outstanding under these lines, a decrease of $18.0 million from December 31, 1992. Excluding the borrowings under the unsecured lines of credit, which the Company replaced with long-term financing, the ratio of current assets to current liabilities increased from 2.7 at December 31, 1992 to 3.1 at December 31, 1993, and working capital increased to $90.9 million at December 31, 1993 from $69.2 million at December 31, 1992. In March 1993, the Company completed a program announced in November 1991 to repurchase 4.0 million shares of its common stock. In June 1993, the Company initiated a new program to repurchase 3.4 million additional common shares which was completed in November 1993 at an average cost of $26.24 per share. In December 1993, the Company announced another program to repurchase 1.5 million common shares but had not purchased any shares under this program as of December 31, 1993. Additions to property, plant and equipment for 1993 were $27.1 million compared to $18.7 million in 1992. The Company anticipates 1994 capital expenditures will total approximately $37 million. On December 31, 1993, the Company had $28.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company believes that its current cash position, funds from operations and available amounts under its lines of credit will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for working capital, dividends, capital expenditures, the purchase of MPI, the announced stock repurchase program and other corporate needs.
