PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
Anacomp, Inc. ("Anacomp" or the "Company") is a leading provider of
products and services that enable organizations to effectively and efficiently
manage their documents. The Company does business with approximately 15,000
customers in more than 65 countries. The Company offers a broad range of
short-term and long-term solutions for the conversion, storage, and retrieval of
computer data and images utilizing micrographic, magnetic media and, to an
increasing extent, electronic technologies.
Anacomp has built a strong reputation as the world's leading
full-service provider of film-based (micrographic) systems, services, and
supplies. Micrographics is the conversion of information stored in electronic
form or on paper to microfilm or microfiche. Traditionally, micrographics has
provided one of the most cost-effective means of data storage and retrieval for
information-intensive organizations such as banks, insurance companies,
financial service companies, retailers, healthcare providers and government
agencies. Anacomp's primary micrographics focus is Computer-Output-to-Microfilm
("COM") solutions, and the Company believes it possesses worldwide COM market
share in excess of 40%. COM involves the high-speed conversion of coded data
directly from a computer or magnetic tape to microfilm or microfiche.
The Company has an extensive installed base of COM equipment, which
management estimates to be in excess of 55% of the systems in use worldwide.
This installed base, together with the Company's strong customer relationships,
provide the Company with what management believes to be a substantial recurring
revenue stream from COM maintenance and supplies. For customers that prefer
outsourcing solutions, the Company provides COM services through its network of
42 service centers in the United States and six international centers.
The Company has established itself as a leading provider of Compact
Disc ("CD") solutions for document management applications through the growth of
its ALVA(TM) CD ("ALVA") services as well as the Company's acquisition in 1997
of Data/Ware Development, Inc. ("Data/Ware"), a leading manufacturer and
supplier of CD output systems. CD services are offered at a majority of the
Company's service centers around the world, and this business has enjoyed
healthy growth over the past two years. The Company's Data/Ware CD systems
generally are sold to businesses with high-volume CD output needs. The Company
believes it can enhance sales of Data/Ware CD systems by leveraging its customer
relationships and capital equipment expertise.
The Company is a leading provider of half-inch computer tape (magnetic
media) products for larger computing systems, with manufacturing plants in the
United States and in Europe. To at least partially offset the mature market
trends for many of the magnetic media products, the Company plans to invest in
technology to assemble newer-generation metal particle tape cartridges and to
significantly increase the magnetic media-related services it offers to
customers.
Overall, the Company plans to maintain its leadership position in
traditional information management solutions while continuing to capitalize on
its expertise and customer base to add new products and services. This migration
toward faster growth areas of the document management industry is being
accomplished through internal product development, strategic alliances and
acquisitions of companies and technology.
History & Recent Developments
Anacomp was incorporated in Indiana in 1968. In the 1970s and 1980s,
Anacomp became the leader in the COM services portion of the document management
industry through acquisitions and internal growth. In 1987, the Company became
the world's leading manufacturer of COM systems by acquiring DatagraphiX, Inc.
In 1988, Anacomp acquired Xidex Corporation ("Xidex"), a leading
manufacturer of magnetic media products, duplicate microfilm, and microfilm
readers and reader/printers. Primarily due to substantial debt incurred as a
result of the Xidex acquisition, the Company filed for bankruptcy protection
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on January 5, 1996. The Company
emerged from Chapter 11 under its Plan of Reorganization on June 4, 1996 with
significantly reduced debt, lower interest payments, a new financial structure,
a new Board of Directors and management and a new business strategy. Subsequent
to the Company's emergence from Chapter 11, the Company has refinanced both its
senior and subordinated debt, further reducing its annual cash interest payments
and enhancing the Company's liquidity.
Recently, in addition to enhancing its traditional micrographics
products and services, the Company has significantly expanded its electronic
document management solutions. Initiatives include the development of ALVA
services; the acquisition of CD businesses, including Data/Ware and
Com-informatic AG ("Com-informatic"), a leading Swiss developer and installer of
Computer Output to Laser Disc ("COLD") and imaging digital solutions; reseller
agreements for the distribution of foldering, report distribution, COLD, and
imaging solutions; and the acquisition of Cambridge Technology Group, Inc.
("Cambridge Technology"), developers of a leading software application for the
trust/custody financial market.
Document Management Industry
Anacomp operates within the document management industry, which the
Company believes to be in excess of $8 billion worldwide. Industry suppliers
provide products and services used in the conversion, storage, and retrieval of
computer data and images. Users of these solutions must balance the ease of
accessibility of information with the cost of storing and accessing that
information.
This balancing and the Company's industry strategy adheres to a
paradigm known as the Information Delivery Life Cycle, which describes the
relationship between the age of information, the frequency and speed of access,
and the type of media upon which the information is stored. In general, as
information ages, customer requirements for frequency of retrieval and speed of
delivery decline. To achieve the greatest degree of cost-effectiveness and
efficiency, organizations migrate their information across several different
delivery systems over the life of the information.
(GRAPH IS NOT AVAILABLE)
Generally, newly created information is the most frequently accessed,
requiring a high-speed storage media such as magnetic disk (i.e., DASD). As the
information begins to age, it often is first migrated to optical disk or CD,
which offers high storage capacity and quick access to information at a lower
cost than DASD. As the need to access information becomes more infrequent, the
information often is next migrated to magnetic tape, an even lower cost media
that provides somewhat slower, yet readily accessible, information delivery.
Once information moves to an archival stage in its life cycle, it is often
migrated to microfilm or microfiche, which offers very low storage costs for
both archival and non-archival applications.
Anacomp's array of products and services is designed to help
organizations optimize how they store, deliver, and migrate their information
across this entire life cycle. The Company believes that vendor consolidation
and a gradual shift toward integrated solutions will favor suppliers that can
provide a broad, technologically advanced suite of products and services across
the entire cycle. The Company also believes that this market will continue to
favor suppliers with a fully developed domestic and international infrastructure
that allows them to serve large customers and to benefit from economies of
scale.
Additionally, competitive pressures on organizations served by Anacomp
have steadily increased the demand for outsourcing services. Concerns over
technology obsolescence, the sometimes high capital cost of information
management systems, and a general recognition of the benefits of outside
expertise have induced many companies to reduce in-house expenditures on certain
operations in favor of third-party service providers. Through outsourcing,
companies are able to avoid the capital requirements of proprietary document
management and storage systems and maintain flexibility to migrate their
information as new products and technologies become available. Anacomp believes
this trend toward outsourcing should have a positive impact on many of the
output services offered by the Company. Moreover, the Company seeks to
differentiate itself from other service providers through feature-rich
offerings, high levels of customer service, and value-added consulting services.
Traditionally, film-based imaging solutions (micrographics and
particularly COM) have provided the most cost-effective means of document
storage and retrieval for information-intensive organizations such as banks,
insurance companies, financial service companies, retailers, healthcare
providers, and government agencies. However, the continued expansion of computer
technology to users' desktops has resulted in the development of many viable
electronic alternatives to micrographics, particularly for applications that
require frequent document access. The Company believes that many organizations
will continue to migrate to electronic solutions for active records management,
but that over the next few years micrographics technology will continue to be
competitive in a wide range of applications. Over a longer term, the Company
believes micrographics technology will be viewed predominately as a reliable and
cost-effective method for long-term storage.
The Company's primary business strategy is to capitalize on these
trends by leveraging its document management expertise and its competitive
strengths to provide newer electronic products and services, while maintaining
its leading market position in COM solutions as well as magnetic media products
and services. In addition, the Company plans to expand its consulting and
professional services to better assist its customers in developing tailored
document management and migration strategies.
Competitive Strengths
Strong Customer Relationships
Since its inception, Anacomp has developed long-term relationships (in
excess of five years) with many of its customers. Among the Company's current
long-term customers are Aetna Inc., AT&T Corp., Automatic Data Processing, Inc.,
BankAmerica Corporation, Citicorp, Daimler-Benz AG, Deutsche Bank AG, Electronic
Data Systems Corporation, FMR Corp., General Electric Capital Corporation, IBM,
Eastman Kodak Company, and Travelers Group Inc. The terms of the contractual
relationships with these customers vary; however, they typically provide for
minimum quantities, pricing structure, terms of one or more years, and automatic
renewal. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's revenues
in fiscal 1997.
The Company believes that the strength of its customer relationships
results from consistently meeting or exceeding its customers' document
management needs and expectations. The Company manages these customer
relationships through a worldwide sales force of approximately 200 individuals
as well as extensive distributor networks.
Leading Market Shares
Within the document management industry worldwide, the Company believes
that it is the largest manufacturer and distributor of COM systems; the largest
provider of COM maintenance services and supplies; the second largest provider
of COM services; the largest manufacturer of half-inch computer tape products;
and the largest provider of CD output solutions. The Company believes that its
market position and customer base provides the necessary platform to introduce
new and complementary information management products and services.
Installed Base of Equipment
The Company believes it has the world's largest installed base of COM
equipment, with an estimated market share of 55%. In addition, the Company has a
significant installed base of Data/Ware CD systems. These installed bases,
together with the Company's strong customer relationships, provide the Company
with what it believes to be substantial recurring revenues from maintenance
services and supplies sales.
Broad Product Offering
In recent times, the Company has introduced new products and services
in order to create a broad product offering across the entire information life
cycle. In addition to enhancing its traditional COM products (through
innovations such as DragonCOM(TM), a modified COM system capable of processing
Asian languages, and Image Direct(TM), a software enhancement for processing
images), the Company has become a premier provider of CD output solutions
through the development of ALVA CD services and the acquisition of Data/Ware CD
systems. The Company also plans to expand and introduce complementary services
related to its existing offerings, including archival storage services and
magnetic media-related services.
Experienced Management Team
The Company's relatively new senior management team is led by Ralph W.
Koehrer, who became the Company's President in January 1997 and Chief Executive
Officer in May 1997. This management team has more than 300 cumulative years of
experience in the document management industry and is highly committed to
executing the Company's new business strategy. As the Company evolves, it
continues to recruit managers from other highly successful companies and to
promote from within where appropriate.
Products and Services
Anacomp operates in a single industry generally known as document
management, and it offers a wide range of products and services within this
industry. These solutions can be grouped into five major families: output
services, output systems, technical services, micrographics supplies, and
magnetic media.
The table below shows Anacomp's revenues for each of these product
families for the last three fiscal years. The information is presented on a
traditional comparative basis for the year ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, to
facilitate a meaningful comparison to fiscal year 1997. Consequently, the fiscal
1996 and 1995 information presented below does not comply with accounting
requirements for companies upon emergence from bankruptcy, which calls for
separate reporting for the newly reorganized Company and the predecessor
company.

Output Services
The principal output services delivered by Anacomp are COM services and
ALVA CD services, which are delivered through the Company's 48 service centers
throughout the world. Output services are sold by Anacomp's direct sales forces
in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The Company recently has acquired or
started several small COM and CD service centers as part of its strategy to
increase its market share in specific locations and in the maturing COM services
business. The Company also has introduced, on a modest basis, archival and print
& mail services.
The Company has a large base of output services customers that has
proved to be loyal to the Company in the past. Clients include banks, insurance
companies, financial service companies, retailers, healthcare providers, and
government agencies. No one customer accounted for more than 10% of the
Company's output services revenues in fiscal 1997. The typical service contract
is exclusive, lasts one year with a one-year automatic renewal period, and
provides for usage-based monthly fees, subject to increase on 30 days' notice.
The Company believes that approximately 75% of the Company's COM services
customers are subject to contracts and that approximately 90% of these contracts
are renewed annually.
Competition for output services customers traditionally has been
limited to service companies with operations within a 50-mile radius of a
customer, partially because most customers have required that their information
(usually stored on computer tape) be physically picked up by the service
provider and partially because of the desire for rapid turnaround of the output
media. This traditional model may be changing, however, with the advent of
readily available data transmission capabilities and the increased usage of
electronic desktop delivery solutions for quick turnaround needs. Anacomp and
First Image Management Company ("First Image") (which the Company believes has
approximately 50 output service centers in the United States) are the two
largest national output services providers. The remainder of the market is
served by regional or local output service centers.
COM Services. COM services, the delivery of micrographics outsourcing
services, represents the largest component of Anacomp's output services. The
Company believes that COM services providers processed over 45 billion images in
1995, generating over $350 million in revenues. The Company believes it holds an
estimated 25% to 30% market share, second only to First Image.
On a daily basis, Anacomp's service centers receive thousands of
computer tapes and, increasingly, electronic downloads from customers. This
information (both text and graphics) is converted to 16mm microfilm or to
microfiche, which is a four by six-inch film medium capable of storing up to
1,000 pages of computer output. Turnaround for a typical COM services job ranges
from two hours to 36 hours, depending on specific circumstances and
requirements, and the centers generally operate 24 hours a day every day of the
year.
In response to a gradual decline in the market for COM services and a
more competitive market, in fiscal 1995 the Company completed installation of
XFP2000 COM systems in all of its service centers, increasing the efficiency of
COM production. Additionally, the Company has upgraded many of these systems
with Anacomp-developed emulation software for IBM and Xerox laser print streams,
expanding the potential market for COM services and resulting in higher average
prices than for other COM output.
As an adjunct to COM services, Anacomp also provides External
Facilities Management ("XFM") services to selected customers. Under an XFM
arrangement, Anacomp operates and manages a customer's COM production at
Anacomp's facilities.
ALVA CD Services. Although still a relatively small percentage of the
Company's revenues, Anacomp quickly has become a significant provider of digital
output services since entering this emerging market in fiscal 1995. Competition
in this industry is highly fragmented, and Anacomp believes it is the second
largest U.S. provider of CD output services.
Anacomp's CD services provide customers with a high-capacity storage
and delivery solution for applications requiring frequent, high-speed
information retrieval. Customer documents, such as invoices and statements, are
indexed and stored on recordable compact discs (known as CD-Recordable or CD-R
discs.) In addition to indexed CD output, ALVA also includes sophisticated
Windows NT-based software for accessing and retrieving the data. ALVA is
available at the majority of the Company's service centers in the United States
and at selected locations internationally.
The Company believes that its ALVA solution has significant advantages
over competing products, primarily due to the Company's network of service
centers, its extensive knowledge of applications and indexing expertise, and
ALVA's flexible and easy-to-use user interface. In addition, Anacomp's
acquisition of Data/Ware provides an opportunity for the Company to create a
"best-of-breed" product that further extends ALVA's value in the marketplace.
Archival and Print &Mail Services. Anacomp provides archival storage
services at several of its service centers in the United States, providing for
the long-term storage of original microfilmed records for its COM services
customers. The media is stored in a secure vault within the facility, providing
customers with a convenient and safe method of off-site storage of critical
business records. In addition, Anacomp offers customers the ability to retrieve
their records on an as-needed basis.
Anacomp also offers the storage of other media (including paper and
computer tape) at an underground, climate-controlled storage vault in
Massachusetts acquired in October 1996 from Archive Storage, Inc. As a result of
this acquisition, the Company also acquired expertise in records management and
disaster recovery consulting services, which helps customers ensure they are
storing the right information on the most cost-effective media for the
appropriate periods of time.
Anacomp offers limited print & mail services - for paper documents such
as invoices and statements -- to its customers through a Company-owned
print-and-mail service center in Europe as well as through relationships with
third party providers.
The Company does not believe it has significant market shares in either
archival storage services or Print & Mail services.
Technical Services
Anacomp provides round-the-clock maintenance services through
approximately 400 highly trained service employees in the United States, Canada,
and Europe. Internationally, some of these services may be provided by employees
of the Company's distributors.
The Company believes that it maintains virtually all of its own
installed base of COM systems, as well as a large percentage of COM systems
built by other companies. In addition, the Company provides maintenance services
for other micrographics-related devices and, increasingly, non-micrographics
equipment. Since many customers tend to use the maintenance services of the
supplier that installed the system, maintenance revenues traditionally have been
a function of new COM system sales and the size of the installed base. Anacomp
believes that its COM maintenance market share is approximately 65% in the
United States, 50% in Europe, and 15% in the Americas (excluding the United
States) and Asia.
As sales of COM systems mature, the Company's strategy is to leverage
its maintenance infrastructure by expanding the technical services it provides
for non-micrographics equipment. Recent additions to the Company's maintenance
base include tape drives and automated tape libraries, tape cleaning and
conversion equipment, and optical storage systems (jukeboxes). The Company added
maintenance of high-speed laser printers to its offering with the acquisition of
a small laser printer maintenance provider in December 1997.
Recently, the Company has identified professional and consulting
services as potential growth areas. The Company's business strategy calls for
professional services to be offered as an adjunct to Company-provided products
and services and for consulting services to be a stand-alone business offering
customers a sophisticated level of guidance about document management strategies
and solutions.
Output Systems
The principal output systems products delivered by Anacomp are COM
systems; CD systems; and COLD, imaging, and report distribution software. The
Company sells these products through its direct sales forces in the United
States, Canada, and Europe and through distributors in Latin America, Europe,
and Asia. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's output
system sales in fiscal 1997.
COM Systems. Anacomp is the world's leading manufacturer and
distributor of COM systems, offering a complete line of COM recorders,
duplicators, sorters, and related software. Anacomp's installed base of COM
systems, approximately 55% of those in use worldwide, is more than twice as
large as its nearest competitor, and related sales of COM services and supplies
to the installed base provide significant recurring revenues.
The Company's XFP2000 is the most advanced COM recorder on the market
and has enabled the Company to capture what it believes to be an estimated 57%
of all new COM systems sold or leased. The XFP2000 is faster and more reliable
than previous COM recorders and, through its laser technology, has the
capability to generate precise reproductions of any image. The Company sold or
leased 135 new and used XFP2000 systems in fiscal 1997, compared to 122 systems
in fiscal 1996.
In fiscal 1996, Anacomp introduced DragonCOM, a version of the XFP2000
for the Asian market, which is capable of processing Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese,
Japanese and other ideographic languages utilizing the popular IBM AFP
architecture. The Company is marketing DragonCOM to customers in Asia through an
agreement with the Asia-Pacific region of the Eastman Kodak Company ("Kodak").
Through the end of fiscal 1997, Kodak had purchased 11 DragonCOM systems and had
a remaining commitment to purchase 39 additional DragonCOM systems over the next
three years.
Anacomp also has developed and currently markets several software
enhancements to the XFP2000, including products that emulate IBM and Xerox laser
print streams. AFP software, developed in conjunction with IBM, enables the
XFP2000 to process and image AFP formatted data streams used by IBM high-speed
mainframe laser printers. XCF software, developed in partnership with Xerox
Corporation, enables the XFP2000 to process the same data stream used by Xerox
high-speed, high-volume laser printers. In addition, Anacomp recently introduced
its Image Direct application for the XFP2000, which enables users to output
document images directly to microfilm from desktop workstations. The initial
release of Image Direct supports TIFF images, the most popular bitmap format in
use today; additional format compatibility is expected in future releases.
Principal customers for the Company's COM systems include
information-intensive organizations such as banks, insurance companies,
financial service companies, retailers, healthcare providers, and government
agencies, as well as non-Anacomp COM service centers. While the majority of COM
systems are sold outright, customers are increasingly selecting leasing plans
and monthly usage options.
In international markets, the Company sells COM systems through wholly
owned operating subsidiaries and, in countries in which the Company does not
have a subsidiary, through dealers and agents. In 1994, Kodak became the
Company's exclusive distributor in Asia (other than Japan) and Australia..
International sales accounted for approximately 52% of the Company's fiscal 1997
COM System revenues, with sales in Asia, Germany and France accounting for
approximately 17%, 10% and 10%, respectively; however, no single country was
responsible for 10% or more of the Company's total revenues in fiscal 1997.
The Company's primary competitors in the sale of COM systems are
Agfa-Gevaert AG ("Agfa") and Micrographic Technology Corporation. The Company
believes that it sells approximately 57% of all new COM systems sold worldwide,
including those sold through its OEM arrangement with Kodak. Competition is
based principally on product features, as well as on such factors as product
quality, service, and price. The Company's large installed base is an important
competitive advantage in the sale of new COM systems, because changing from one
manufacturer's COM system to another is difficult due to software conversion and
operator training costs.
CD Systems. Anacomp became a leading provider of CD output systems for
mainframe and client/server computer environments through its acquisition in
fiscal 1997 of Data/Ware. The Company's flagship Data/Ware products, the
Enterprise Authoring System ("EAS") and the Server/Enterprise Authoring System
("S/EAS"), provide companies with in-house solutions for the highly automated
output of documents to CDs.
The Company's CD output systems are sold by its direct sales force
worldwide and also by distributors in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Because
of the similarity between the Company's CD and COM systems relating to target
markets, applications, and sales cycle, the Company believes it can leverage its
extensive COM knowledge and customer relationships to increase sales of CD
systems. In addition, the Company intends to begin maintenance services for its
Data/Ware CD systems, creating a recurring revenue stream for installed units.
The Company's primary competitors in the sale of high-volume CD output
systems are Young Minds, Inc., Rimage Corporation, and, to a lesser extent,
Kodak. Kodak's product primarily competes in mid-range applications. In the
high-volume CD system market, the Company believes that it and Young Minds have
the largest market shares. The Company also has a significant installed base of
CD output systems.
Electronic Delivery Solutions. Anacomp is working actively to bring to
market a wide range of electronic delivery solutions. The Company provides COLD
and imaging solutions through its recent acquisition of Com-informatic -- the
leading COM services provider in Switzerland and also a developer of advanced
COLD and imaging products - as well as through a reseller arrangement in the
United States.
The Company also markets an integrated system for document management
which is sourced from a third party under the brand names Folders and EOS (an
acronym for enterprise output systems). Launched by the Company in 1995, Folders
and EOS provide document management solutions for mainframe/host computing
environments that allow organizations with significant document access
requirements to expedite retrieval regardless of the document's location. As the
name indicates, Folders is software that creates electronic document folders,
allowing users to organize and store electronic documents. EOS provides for the
storage and distribution of electronically generated reports (often voluminous),
thereby enabling users to avoid paper storage of such reports and to distribute
all or selected portions of reports throughout an organization.
In addition, the Company recently purchased Cambridge Technology,
developers of SPAR(TM) (Securities, Processing, Accounting and Reporting), an
advanced securities-related accounting software application for the
international trust/custody market. The Company believes that it can increase
sales of SPAR by leveraging its global sales and support infrastructure as well
as its extensive experience and contacts with financial customers. The Company
plans to purchase other software applications synergistic with its current
business as opportunities arise.
Although there are numerous competitors providing a variety of
electronic delivery solutions, the Company believes it can be among the first to
offer a complete range of solutions - both analog and digital that address all
of a customer's document management needs.
Micrographics Supplies
Anacomp sells the most comprehensive line of micrographics supplies in
the world, including original silver halide film, duplicate film, chemicals for
microfilm processing, paper and toners for reader/printers, micrographics lamps
and bulbs, and other consumables. These products are sold through Anacomp's
direct sales forces and through distributor channels.
The Company also markets a complete line of microfilm/microfiche
readers. Many of these products have become only marginally profitable in recent
years. To increase profitability, the Company signed an agreement to outsource
the manufacture of readers and reader/printers beginning in fiscal 1996 as
demand and margins for these products continued to decline. Additionally, the
Company ceased production of its DS 300 reader/scanner in fiscal 1996 after
completing a build-out of inventory. These decisions resulted in a significant
one-time write-off in fiscal 1995. However, the Company continues to offer these
types of products to its customers on a reseller basis.
The Company supplies proprietary wet and dry original halide film used
in its XFP series of COM systems and proprietary wet and dry original halide
film for its X-series, an earlier generation of Anacomp COM systems. All
original microfilm for the Company's COM systems is manufactured for the Company
by Kodak under an exclusive supply agreement in what the Company considers to be
a proprietary package. The Company believes it can maintain its market share of
XFP2000 film sales going forward because of the complexity of the manufacturing
process, the Company's patents on its proprietary canister, and the industry's
interest in other segments of the film business.
Anacomp is the world's largest supplier of duplicate microfilm, which
is used to create one or more additional copies of original microfiche and
microfilm masters. The Company believes that its share of this estimated $75
million worldwide market is approximately 67%, which includes sales to its own
output centers. Anacomp's primary competitor in the duplicate microfilm market
is Rexham Graphics Ltd. ("Rexham"), with an estimated 25% share of the worldwide
duplicate film market. For fiscal 1997, the Company believes that Kodak
accounted for approximately 32% and First Image accounted for approximately 12%
of the Company's shipments of duplicate microfilm.
The Company sells original microfilm for Anacomp's COM systems and for
other manufacturers' COM systems, with film sold for Anacomp's systems
representing the vast majority of original microfilm sales. The Company competes
in sales of non- proprietary original COM microfilms with other manufacturers,
including Agfa, Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc. ("Fuji"), Kodak, and Imation
Corporation ("Imation"), formerly part of 3M. For non-OEM sales of the XFP2000,
the Company is the exclusive supplier of original microfilm because of the
proprietary nature of the canister in which the film is placed. Anacomp believes
that it sells its consumable supplies directly to more than 90% of its worldwide
installed base. In fiscal 1996, the Company acquired the assets of one of its
competitors, COM Products, Inc. ("CPI"), providing the Company with a more
diverse customer base. In fiscal 1997, the Company acquired the assets of
Comstor Technology, Inc., a provider of spare parts, refurbished COM systems,
and supplies for the COM marketplace.
International sales in fiscal 1997 accounted for 43% of the Company's
total micrographics supplies revenues. In international markets, the Company
offers supplies through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and, in countries in
which the Company does not have a subsidiary, through a network of distributors.
Anacomp believes that it has an estimated 33% of the micrographics supplies
market in Europe and an estimated 39% of the supplies market in the Americas
(excluding the United States) and Asia. In Europe, the Company's primary
competitors for micrographics supplies and equipment are the Kalle Microfilm
Division of Hoechst AG, A. Messerli AG, and Rexham.
Its primary competitors in Japan are Kodak and Fuji.
Magnetic Media
Anacomp manufactures, sells, and distributes a broad range of magnetic
media products such as open reel tape; 3480, 3490E, and 3590 tape cartridges;
DLT tape cartridges; TK 50/52 CompacTape; quarter-inch, 4mm, and 8mm back-up
tape cartridges; and voice logging and instrumentation tape.
The Company is the world's largest manufacturer of chromium dioxide
half-inch tape products (open reel tape, 3480, 3490E, and TK 50/52), widely used
by organizations for the near-line and off-line storage of business data. These
products are manufactured at Company facilities in Graham, Texas and Brynmawr,
Wales. The Company is developing partnerships to enable it to participate in the
next generation of magnetic media products, particularly half-inch metal
particle tape (3590 cartridges), and it plans to make modest investments in this
area. The Company also plans to expand the magnetic media services it offers to
its customers; such services include labeling, initialization, library planning,
media cleaning and conversion, and disaster recovery.
Anacomp sells its magnetics products through a worldwide distributor
network and, to a lesser extent, through parts of the Company's direct sales
force. The Company markets these products under the Memorex, Dysan, Graham, and
StorageMaster brand names, and it also is a leading OEM for many of the magnetic
media products it manufactures.
The Company has leading manufacturing and market shares for the
products it makes. The Company has no significant competitors with respect to
the manufacture of open reel tape, and its worldwide manufacturing and market
shares for 3480 and 3490E cartridges are estimated at 38% and 35%, respectively.
The Company's major competitors for half-inch tape cartridges are Imation and
Emtech Magnetics GmbH (formerly BASF Magnetics GmbH).
Engineering, Research, and Development
Anacomp's engineering costs, including research and development, were
$4.8 million in fiscal 1997, compared to $3.7 million in fiscal 1996 and $2.2
million in fiscal 1995. The Company expects its current research and development
efforts to increase as it introduces new electronic and applications solutions.
Costs associated with these efforts will be tempered by the Company's plan to
acquire the rights to core technologies whenever possible.
Major projects in fiscal 1997 included the substantial completion of
the Company's DragonCOM system, a version of the XFP2000 for the Asian market
that is capable of processing double-byte ideographic languages; efforts to
improve the speed and expand the functionality of the Company's Image Direct
bitmapping initiative; continued development of the Company's "Pegasys"
initiative to automate the Company's service centers and to develop advanced
transmission capabilities for these centers; uncompleted efforts to develop a
customer service application; and various engineering efforts inherited as a
result of the Company's acquisition of Data/Ware including research into
emerging DVD technology as it relates to document storage.
The Company owns various patents and licenses covering aspects of its
product line and its production processes, as well as proprietary trade secret
information relating to its products and services. While the Company believes
that the protection provided by these patents, licenses, and proprietary
information is important, it also believes that equally significant is the
knowledge and experience of its employees and their abilities to develop and
market the Company's products and services and to provide value-added benefits
to customers.
Raw Materials and Suppliers
Polyester is the principal raw material used in the manufacture of both
microfilm and magnetic media products. Costs for polyester remained generally
stable in fiscal 1997, as a result of a relative balance between supply and
demand. There can be no assurance, however, that the current trend will
continue.
SKC America, Inc. and SKC Limited (collectively, "SKC") is Anacomp's
sole supplier of duplicate microfilm, the result of a ten-year supply agreement
between the companies entered into in 1993 as part of SKC's purchase of
Anacomp's Sunnyvale, California duplicate microfilm facilities. SKC also
provides Anacomp with polyester for a large percentage of its magnetic media
products. In connection with the supply agreement, SKC also provided Anacomp
with a $25 million trade credit facility, which was reduced to $15 million in
fiscal 1997, secured by up to $10 million of products sold to Anacomp by SKC. In
addition, under an amendment to the supply agreement executed in 1996, Anacomp
agreed to certain price increases, retroactive to 1994, and agreed to make the
following deferred payments to SKC related to the retroactive price increases:
$400,000 paid in 1997; $600,000 due in 1998; $800,000 due in 1999; $800,000 due
in 2000; and $1,000,000 due in 2001.
Pursuant to the SKC agreement, the Company is required to purchase a
substantial portion of its polyester requirements for its magnetic media
products. While the Company could purchase certain of these magnetics polyester
products from vendors other than SKC, SKC currently is the sole source for
polyester used by the Company to manufacture many magnetic media products,
including open reel tape.
Anacomp's XFP2000 COM system utilizes a proprietary, patented original
film canister, and the original film used in that canister is supplied
exclusively by Kodak. Anacomp also purchases from Kodak substantially all of its
requirements for original microfilm for earlier-generation COM recorders
manufactured by Anacomp and others, although the Company has from time to time
purchased original microfilm utilized in those older COM recorders from other
suppliers.
Industry Segments & Foreign Operations
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements,
Anacomp operates in a single business segment -- providing equipment, supplies,
and services for document management, including storage, processing, and
retrieval. Financial information concerning the Company's operations in
different geographical areas is included in Note 21 to the consolidated
financial statements.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Anacomp maintains corporate offices in Carmel, Indiana (metropolitan
Indianapolis) and in Poway, California (metropolitan San Diego). Micrographics
manufacturing, engineering, customer service, marketing and product maintenance
facilities are all located in Poway, California. Anacomp's magnetics
manufacturing facilities are located in Graham, Texas and Brynmawr, Wales. All
of Anacomp's facilities have received international recognition for quality
standards, earning International Standards Organization ("ISO") 9002
certification.

========= ======= ====== =========
Other Facilities consist primarily of leased space of abandoned
facilities. Approximately 122,908 square feet of the Other Facilities have been
sublet to others. Anacomp also leases standard office space for its sales and
service centers in a variety of locations. Anacomp considers its facilities
adequate for its present needs and does not believe that it would experience any
difficulty in replacing any of its present facilities if any of its current
agreements were terminated.
During October 1997 the Company re-negotiated a significant lease for
its Poway, California facility. Pursuant to the amended lease, the Company will
expand the space it currently occupies (approximately 170,000 square feet) to
include the entire facility (333,485 square feet). The new lease is effective
January 1, 1998, and has an initial term of ten years, at the end of which time
it may be renewed for successive five-year terms. As discussed in Note 24 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements the expanded space will primarily be utilized
for the consolidation/relocation of the Company's Indianapolis, Indiana
corporate offices.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and its subsidiaries are potential or named defendants in
several lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While
the outcome of such claims, lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company
cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that such liability, to
the extent not provided for through insurance or otherwise, will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial statements of the Company.
In the section entitled Management's Discussion and Analysis of the
Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Legal Proceedings, of the
Prospectus included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed
on April 16, 1997 (file number 333-25281), the Company described three legal
proceedings to which it was then a party: (1) the "DTSC Matters," pursuant to
which the California Department of Toxic Substances Control and the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region, sought civil
penalties and injunctive relief against the Company for alleged environmental
law violations with respect to Anacomp's Sunnyvale, California facility, and
sought to impose certain clean-up obligations upon the Company with respect to
such facility; (2) the "Customs Claim," pursuant to which the United States
Customs Service ("Customs") sought the repayment of what Customs believed were
duty drawback claims improperly refunded to Anacomp; and (3) the "Contract
Claim," pursuant to which Smith Barney, Inc. ("Smith Barney") sought additional
fees from the Company which Smith Barney allegedly earned for services that it
provided in connection with Anacomp's financial restructuring period. All three
of these matters have now been settled to the satisfaction of the Company, which
settlements did not have a material adverse affect on its financial statements.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted during the three months ended September 30,
1997, to a vote of Anacomp's security holders through the solicitation of
proxies or otherwise.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
On May 20, 1996 The Company's Reorganization Plan was confirmed by the
United States Bankruptcy Court and the Company emerged from bankruptcy
reorganization. The Plan of Reorganization resulted in a reduction of
approximately $174 million in principal and accrued interest on the Company's
debt obligations and in liquidation amount and accrued dividends on its
preferred stock. As a result of the Reorganization, the recording of the
restructuring transaction and the implementation of Fresh Start Reporting, the
Company's results of operations after May 31, 1996 (the cutoff date used for
financial reporting purposes) are not comparable to results reported in prior
periods. See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for
information on consummation of the Plan of Reorganization and implementation of
Fresh Start Reporting.
To facilitate a meaningful comparison of the Company's quarterly and
year-to-date operating performance in fiscal years 1997, 1996 and 1995, the
following discussion of results of operations on a consolidated basis is
presented on a traditional comparative basis for all periods. Consequently, the
prior years' information presented below does not comply with accounting
requirements for companies upon emergence from bankruptcy, which requirements
call for separate reporting for the newly reorganized company and the
predecessor company.

Results of Operations-Fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995
General
Anacomp reported a net loss of $67.8 million for the year ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to net income of $143 million and a net loss of
$238.3 million for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Included in the fiscal 1997 net loss is non-cash amortization of the Company's
reorganization value asset of $75.8 million and an extraordinary loss on the
extinguishment of debt comprised of a 3% call premium and unamortized discount
on the Company's existing 13% subordinated notes totalling $11.0 million net of
income taxes.
Pursuant to a 1990 OEM agreement Kodak was obligated to purchase an
additional 151 XFP 2000 systems by October 1997 or pay a cash penalty to the
Company. The Company and Kodak negotiated an amendment to the OEM agreement,
whereby the Company accepted a $3.6 million cash payment from Kodak, which is
included in the current period results, a commitment to purchase an additional
28 XFP 2000 systems by the end of calendar 1997, and a one-time purchase of
spare parts. As of September 30, 1997, 12 systems remained to be purchased under
this agreement. Kodak purchased all the remaining XFP 2000 systems during the
quarter ended December 31, 1997.
Net income for fiscal 1996 included $25.7 million in non-cash
amortization of the Company's reorganization value asset, a gain of $92.8
million for reorganization items and an extraordinary gain resulting from the
discharge of indebtedness of $52.4 million. Included in the fiscal 1995 loss are
special charges of $136.9 million, representing a write-off of goodwill of $108
million and $28.9 million of costs associated with software investments. Also
included in the fiscal 1995 loss is a $29 million deferred tax provision and
$32.7 million of restructuring charges.
Earnings before interest, other income, reorganization items, special
and restructuring charges, taxes, depreciation and amortization and
extraordinary items ("EBITDA") was $83.7 million, or 18.1% of revenues for the
year ended September 30, 1997. This compares to EBITDA of $84.2 million, or
17.3% of revenues, and $77.4 million, or 13.1% of revenues for the years ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Excluding the Kodak payment of $3.6
million described above, EBITDA was $80.1 million for the current period or
17.5% of revenues.
Total revenues for fiscal 1997 of $462.5 million represent a $23.6
million decrease from fiscal 1996, which had experienced a decrease from fiscal
1995 of $105 million. Approximately $9.8 million of the fiscal 1997 decrease is
due to the discontinuance and downsizing of selected product lines, including
ICS ($1.5 million), readers and reader/printers ($5.5 million), source document
film ($.5 million) and micrographics accessories ($2.3 million). The remaining
$13.8 million decrease in revenues is due primarily to the expected general
downward trend in both the micrographics supplies and magnetics product lines
offset by revenue contributions from the Company's acquisitions and new digital
products. Approximately $60.1 million of the fiscal 1996 decrease is due to the
discontinuance or downsizing of certain product lines including ICS ($20
million), flexible diskette media ($20.2 million), reader and reader printer
products ($12.7 million) and source document film ($7.2 million).
Cost of services provided as a percentage of services revenue was 52%
in fiscal 1997, compared to 55% and 58% for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The decrease is due primarily to cost reduction efforts in maintenance services
initiated by new management. Cost of equipment and supplies sold as a percentage
of equipment and supplies sales, excluding the one-time $3.6 million payment
noted above, was 76% for fiscal years 1997 and 1996, compared to 78% for fiscal
1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 20% of revenues in
fiscal 1997, excluding the one-time $3.6 million payment noted above, compared
to 19% in fiscal 1996. The slight increase was primarily the result of
amortization and transition costs associated with the Company's fiscal 1997
acquisition activity. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 22% of
revenues in fiscal 1995.

=================================================================
Output Services
Output services revenues increased $1.3 million in fiscal 1997,
compared to fiscal 1996 (excluding the effect of the ICS sale). COM service
volumes increased by 9% while average selling prices decreased by 12%. Data
center acquisitions and several large customer gains have contributed to both
the increase in volumes and the decrease in average selling prices. Gross
margins as a percentage of revenue decreased by 3 percentage points due to the
aforementioned impact of lower average selling prices. Output services revenues
were down $8.4 million in fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995 (excluding the
effect of the ICS sale), primarily due to an 11% decrease in volume. Decreases
in average selling prices during fiscal 1996 also adversely affected output
services gross margins as a percent of revenue, which decreased 1% from fiscal
1995 to fiscal 1996. ALVA CD services grew by $2.5 million in fiscal 1997 and
now comprise approximately 4% of total output services revenue as compared to 1%
in fiscal 1996.
Technical Services
Technical services (primarily maintenance) revenues decreased $5.0
million in fiscal 1997, compared to fiscal 1996 and $4.0 million from fiscal
1995 to fiscal 1996, in part due to the effect of replacing older generation COM
systems with the XFP, which has a significantly greater capacity than the older
COM systems. Gross margins as a percentage of revenue improved 7 percentage
points over the prior year in each of fiscal 1997 and 1996 primarily as a result
of the cost reduction efforts mentioned above.
Output Systems
Output systems revenues, which is comprised of both COM and Digital
output systems, increased $3.9 million in fiscal 1997 primarily as a result of
contributions from the Company's acquisition of Data/Ware in January 1997.
Output systems gross margins as a percentage of revenues increased by 12% due to
the change in product mix with a greater portion of sales represented by
refurbished sytems which have higher margins.
COM systems revenues in fiscal 1997 decreased by $5.4 million compared
to fiscal 1996, which had experienced an $18.5 million decrease from fiscal
1995. Included in COM systems revenues for fiscal 1995 are $3.5 million in sales
of equipment for use in Anacomp data centers under sale and leaseback
arrangements. The Company sold or leased 135 XFP2000 units in fiscal 1997
compared to 122 and 156 in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. The decrease in
revenue is attributable to an increase in 1997 in the number of units shipped
under operating lease arrangements, and a decrease in the number of systems
shipped under straight sales arrangements along with a change in the mix and
pricing of new and used systems. Fiscal 1997 and 1996 gross margins as a
percentage of revenues improved several percentage points due to the change in
product mix.
Digital systems revenues in fiscal 1997 were $9.3 million with the
second quarter acquisition of Data/Ware contributing $6.4 million in revenues.
There were no digital systems sold during fiscal 1996 or 1995.
Micrographics Supplies
Micrographics supplies revenues decreased $18.8 million in fiscal 1997
compared to fiscal 1996 consistent with the projected market trends for reader
and reader/printers, original COM film, duplicate film and other accessories.
Gross margins as a percentage of revenue were comparable between periods.
Micrographics supplies revenues decreased $40.2 million from fiscal 1996 to 1995
principally as a result of the discontinuance and downsizing of product lines,
as well as the projected market trends noted above. Micrographics supplies gross
margins as a percent of revenue increased 5% in fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal
1995 as a result of changes in product mix due primarily to the sale and
downsizing of product lines.
Magnetic Media
Magnetic media revenues decreased $9.4 million in fiscal 1997 compared
to fiscal 1996. The major product categories experiencing a decrease in revenue
include 3480 tape cartridges ($5.9 million), open reel tape ($7.7 million) and
TK 50/52 tape ($2.0 million). These decreases were partially offset by the new
contributions of $5.8 million from metal particle tape products. Gross margins
as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 1997 increased slightly from fiscal 1996.
Magnetic media revenues decreased $16.2 million in fiscal 1996 compared to
fiscal 1995. The decrease was due to the closure of the Omaha, Nebraska factory,
which produced flexible diskette media, as well as reduced unit sales of open
reel tape. Magnetic media gross margins had remained level in fiscal years 1996
and 1995.
Interest Expense
Interest expense and fee amortization of $35.9 million for fiscal 1997,
decreased $3.7 million over the prior year due to the Company's refinancing
efforts in fiscal 1997 and its improved debt structure as a result of the
Reorganization in fiscal 1996. Interest expense and fee amortization of $39.6
million for fiscal 1996, decreased $31.3 million compared to fiscal 1995. The
decrease relates to the discontinuance of interest accrued on the Predecessor
Company's old subordinated debt during the bankruptcy proceedings, as well as
reduced interest expense on the new debt instruments.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in fiscal 1997 includes $5.4 million on
earnings of Anacomp's foreign subsidiaries and $4.2 million of domestic taxes
after considering the impact of the extrordinary loss. Of the $4.2 million net
domestic tax provision, approximately $0.7 million is currently payable. See
Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
The provision for income taxes in fiscal 1996 includes $6.1 million on
earnings of Anacomp's foreign subsidiaries and $2 million of domestic income
taxes primarily related to the non-cash charge in lieu of taxes of $1.3 milion
along with the alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes. The effective
rate as a percentage of income before reorganization items, extraordinary
credit, and cumulative effect of accounting change (8.2%) is lower than the U.S.
statutory rate because of non-taxable reorganization income partially offset by
increases resulting from non-deductible amortization.
Included in the provision for income taxes in fiscal 1995 is a deferred
tax provision of $29 million. The deferred tax provision includes U.S. tax on
undistributed foreign earnings of $9 million and a write-off of net deferred tax
assets of $20 million. This write-off results from the uncertainty regarding the
financial restructuring that was in progress and, accordingly, the uncertainty
regarding the ultimate benefit to be derived from Anacomp's tax loss
carryforwards. The remaining components of the provision for income taxes in
fiscal 1995 were taxes of $4.8 million on earnings of Anacomp's foreign
subsidiaries and a tax reserve adjustment of $1.2 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the period ended September 30, 1997, Anacomp completed the
refinancing of substantially all of its significant debt obligations (see Note
13 to the consolidated financial statements). The refinancings will result in
significant interest savings to the Company. Anacomp's cash interest cost will
now be at an annual rate of approximately $30 million as compared to
approximately $40 million upon the Company's exit from bankruptcy on May 31,
1996. The Company's debt amortization has also been significantly reduced as a
result of the refinancings. Anacomp made no principal payments on the new debt
during fiscal 1997 and now has scheduled principal payments of $8.7 million in
fiscal 1998 and $13.8 million in fiscal 1999. As of September 30, 1997, the
current portion of long-term debt was $9.6 million as compared to $31.8 million
at September 30, 1996.
Anacomp's working capital at September 30, 1997, excluding the current
portion of long-term debt was $41.4 million, compared to $26.4 million at
September 30, 1996. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $57.8
million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, compared to $49.8 million
in the comparable prior period. Net cash used in investing activities was $32.8
million in the current period, compared to net cash provided by investing
activities of $3.9 million in the comparable prior period. This change was
primarily the result of the Company using $22.4 million of cash for acquisitions
in the current period while the Company generated $13.6 million in cash from the
sale of the ICS Division in the prior period. Also, the Company increased its
capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment by $4.6 million during
the current period.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased to $5.1 million for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, compared to $35.5 million in the
comparable prior period. The Company's successful rights offering of
approximately 3.6 million shares of common stock provided approximately $24.5
million in cash in the current period and the Company's debt refinancing and
principal reductions used approximately $30.1 million in net cash. Fiscal 1996
financing activities include a $13 million repayment of debt with proceeds from
the sale of the ICS Division and $24.9 million in principal reductions on debt.
The Company's cash balance (including restricted cash) as of September
30, 1997 was $65.5 million, compared to $47.8 million at September 30, 1996. The
Company also has availability of $22.6 million on its $25 million revolving
credit facility at September 30, 1997.
The Company has significant debt service obligations. The ability of
the Company to meet its debt service and other obligations will depend upon its
future performance and is subject to financial, economic and other factors, some
of which are beyond its control. However, the Company believes that cash on hand
and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its debt service
requirements, acquisition strategies and working capital requirements in the
foreseeable future.
Accounting Pronouncements
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued a pronouncement related to the calculation and disclosure of Earnings Per
Share information. This pronouncement is effective for periods ending after
December 15, 1997 and, consequently, no adjustments are reflected in the
consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 1997.
Adoption of this pronouncement would not have a significant impact on EPS
reported for the twelve month period ended September 30, 1997.
In June 1997, FASB issued two additional pronouncements related to
reporting comprehensive income and disclosure of segment information. These two
pronouncements are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The
Company has not yet determined the additional disclosures specified by this
pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements for the period ended
September 30, 1977.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Anacomp, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Anacomp, Inc. (an Indiana corporation) and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997
and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity (deficit), and cash flows for the twelve months ended September 30, 1997,
the four months ended September 30, 1996, the eight months ended May 31, 1996
and the twelve months ended September 30, 1995. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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.
As more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, effective June 4, 1996, the Company emerged from protection under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a Reorganization Plan which
was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on May 20, 1996. In accordance with AICPA
Statement of Position 90-7, the Company adopted "Fresh Start Reporting" whereby
its assets, liabilities and new capital structure were adjusted to reflect
estimated fair values as of May 31, 1996. As a result, the consolidated
financial statements for the periods subsequent to May 31, 1996 reflect the
Successor Company's new basis of accounting and are not comparable to the
Predecessor Company's pre-reorganization consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Anacomp,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of
