ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
HISTORY

1993 (the "Offering"), the Company's business was operated by The Harrah and

BUSINESS
Champion is engaged in the commercial printing and office products and
furniture supply business in regional markets east of the Mississippi River. The
Company's sales force sells a full range of printing services, business forms,
office products and office furniture. Management views these sales activities as
complementary since frequent customer sales calls required for one of its
products or services provide opportunities to cross-sell other products and
services. The Company believes it benefits from significant customer loyalty and
customer referrals because it provides personal service, quality products,
convenience and selection with one-stop shopping.
The Company's printing services range from the simplest to the most
complex jobs, including business cards, books, tags, brochures, posters, 4- to
6-color process printing and multi-part, continuous and snap-out business forms.
The Company's state-of-the-art equipment enables it to provide computerized
composition, art design, paste-up, stripping, film assembly and color scanner
separations. The Company also offers complete bindery and letterpress services.
The printing operations contributed $98.1 million, $96.7 million and $92.4
million or 78.4%, 76.5% and 74.3% of the Company's total revenues for the fiscal
years ended October 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.
The Company provides a full range of office products and office
furniture primarily in the budget and middle price ranges, and also offers
office design services. The Company publishes a catalog of high volume,
frequently ordered items purchased directly from manufacturers. These catalog
sales account for the bulk of sales volume and afford sales personnel
flexibility in product selection and pricing. Medium to large volume customers
are offered levels of pricing discounts. In addition, the Company offers a broad
line of general office products through major wholesalers' national catalogs.
The Company has implemented an Internet e-commerce site, which allows customers
to order office products, furniture and forms online. The e-commerce site
includes the office products and office furniture catalog and may be accessed at
the Company's web page at www.champion-industries.com. The Company believes that
this site will allow customers to access data concerning their company's
purchase habits so as to better control expenditures for office products and
eliminate large in-house inventories. The Company is a member of a major office
products purchasing organization. Members benefit from volume discounts, which
permit them to offer competitive prices and improve margins. The Company's
office furniture business focuses on the budget to middle price range lines,
although upscale lines are offered as well. Office products, office furniture
and office design operations
6
contributed $27.0 million, $29.7 million and $32.0 million, or 21.6%, 23.5% and
25.7% of the Company's total revenues for the fiscal years ended October 31,
2001, 2000 and 1999.
ORGANIZATION
Champion's two lines of business are comprised of twenty-three operating
divisions. The Huntington headquarters provides centralized financial management
and administrative services to each of its two business segments.
Commercial Printing
Eleven commercial printing divisions are located in Huntington,
Charleston and Parkersburg, West Virginia; Lexington, Kentucky; Baton Rouge and
New Orleans, Louisiana; Jackson, Mississippi; Cincinnati, Ohio; Kingsport and
Knoxville, Tennessee; and Asheville, North Carolina. Each has a sales force, a
customer service operation and a pre-press department that serve the customers
in their respective geographic areas. Although each customer's interface is
solely with its local division's personnel, its printing job may be produced in
another division using the equipment most suited to the quality and volume
requirements of the job. In this way, for example, Champion can effectively
compete for high quality process color jobs in Lexington by selling in
Lexington, printing in Cincinnati and binding in Huntington. The full range of
printing resources is available to customers in the entire market area without
Champion having to duplicate equipment in each area.
Interform Corporation, doing business as Interform Solutions and located
in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, manufactures business forms and related products,
which it sells through a network of independent distributors concentrated in
Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and metropolitan New York.
Consolidated Graphic Communications division in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
operates as a full line printing and printing services distributor. The division
offers complete print management, fulfillment services and B2B e-commerce
solutions.
Carolina Cut Sheets, Inc., located in Huntington, West Virginia,
manufactures single sheet business forms which are sold to other commercial
printers and dealers and through the Company's other divisions.
The Huntington, West Virginia division of Chapman Printing Company
manufactures single sheet and multi-part, snap-out and continuous business forms
for sale through many of the Company's commercial printing divisions.
U.S. Tag, located in Baltimore, Maryland, manufactures and sells tags
used in the manufacturing, shipping, postal, airline and cruise industries
throughout the United States through dealers and the Company's other divisions.
Transdata, located in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana, operates
as a subsidiary of Bourque Printing performing sales and customer service
functions.
7
Office Products, Office Furniture and Office Design
Stationers, located in Huntington, Clarksburg (doing business as
"Champion Clarksburg"), Morgantown (through its Champion Morgantown division),
West Virginia and Belpre, Ohio (doing business as "Garrison Brewer"), provides
office products and office furniture primarily to customers in the Company's
West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky market areas. Products are sold by printing
division salespeople and delivered in bulk daily to each division, or shipped
directly to customers.
Smith & Butterfield, located in Evansville, Indiana and Owensboro,
Kentucky, provides office products and office furniture primarily to customers
in the Company's Indiana and Kentucky market areas. Products are sold by Smith &
Butterfield sales personnel and delivered to customers daily.
Diez, located in Gonzales, Louisiana, provides office products and
office furniture primarily to customers in the Company's Louisiana market area.
Stationers, through its Capitol division, offers office design services
throughout West Virginia and eastern Kentucky.
Champion Jackson located in Jackson, Mississippi functions as both a
printing sales headquarters with full digital prepress and an office products
sales center.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Printing Services
Champion's primary business is commercial printing and business forms
manufacturing. The Company, unlike most of its regional competitors, offers the
full range of printing production processes, enabling the Company to provide
customers a one-stop, one-vendor source without the time and service constraints
of subcontracting one or more aspects of production. Major production areas
include: (i) printing of business cards, letterhead, envelopes, and one, two, or
three color brochures; (ii) process color manufacturing of brochures, posters,
advertising sheets and catalogues; (iii) die cutting and foil stamping; (iv)
bindery services, including trimming, collating, folding and stitching the final
product; (v) forms printing, encompassing roll-to-roll computer forms, checks,
invoices, purchase orders and similar forms in single-part, multi-part,
continuous and snap-out formats; (vi) tag manufacturing; and (vii) high volume
process color webprinting of brochures and catalogs.

Office Products, Office Furniture and Office Design
Champion provides its customers with a wide range of product offerings
in two major categories: supplies, such as file folders, paper products, pens
and pencils, computer paper and laser cartridges; and furniture, including
budget and middle price range desks, chairs, file cabinets and computer
furniture. Office supplies are sold primarily by Company salespeople through the
Company's own catalogs. Office furniture is primarily sold from catalogs and
supplied from in-house stock. Special orders constitute a small portion of
sales. The Capitol division of Stationers provides interior design services to
commercial customers. The design services include space planning, purchasing and
installation of office furniture, and management of design projects.
MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company's pre-press facilities have desktop publishing, typesetting,
laser imagesetting and scanning/retouching equipment, and complete layout,
design, stripping and plate processing operations. Sheet printing equipment (for
printing onto pre-cut, individual
9
sheets) includes single color duplicators, single to six color presses and
envelope presses. Rotary equipment (for printing onto continuous rolls of paper)
includes multi-color business form web presses, carbon and multi-part collators,
and a high-speed 5-color half-web press.
Binding equipment consists of hot-foil, embossing and die cutting
equipment, perforators, folders, folder-gluers, scoring machines,
collator/stitcher/ trimmers for saddle stitching, automatic and manual perfect
binders, numbering machines and mailing equipment.
Each of the Company's offices is linked with overnight distribution of
products and on-line electronic telecommunications permitting timely transfer of
various production work from facility to facility as required. While the Company
maintains a fleet of delivery vehicles for intracompany and customer deliveries,
it utilizes the most cost effective and expeditious means of delivery, including
common carriers.
Requirements for the Company's press runs are determined shortly before
the runs are made and, therefore, backlog is not a meaningful measure in
connection with the Company's printing business.
The Company's inventory goal is to have approximately 85% of the office
product items the Company sells in stock. Another 12% are ordered on a daily
basis and received overnight. The remaining 3% are items that come direct from
manufacturers and may take one week from placement of order to delivery to
customer. Office furniture sales are made primarily from the Company's in-house
stock. However, special orders from manufacturers may require up to 90 days for
delivery.
CUSTOMERS
The Company believes that its reputation for quality, service,
convenience and selection allows it to enjoy significant loyalty from its
customers. Champion's marketing strategy is to focus on manufacturers,
institutions, financial services companies and professional firms. Consistent
with customary practice in the commercial printing and office products
industries, the Company ordinarily does not have long-term contracts with its
customers, although a number of high volume customers issue yearly purchase
orders. These purchase orders, which are typically for office products but may
include printing services, are for firm prices adjustable for paper price
changes. Depending upon customer satisfaction with price and service, these
purchase orders may be renewed for another year or up to three years without
repeating the full bidding process.
During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 no single
customer accounted for more than 3% of the Company's total revenues. Due to the
project-oriented nature of customers' printing requirements, sales to particular
customers may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the number and
size of their projects.
10
SUPPLIERS
The Company has not experienced difficulties in obtaining materials in
the past and does not consider itself dependent on any particular supplier for
supplies. The Company has negotiated Company-wide paper purchasing agreements
directly with paper manufacturers and is a member of a major office products
buying group, which management believes provides the Company with a competitive
advantage.
COMPETITION
The markets for the Company's printing services and office products are
highly competitive, with success based primarily on price, quality, production
capability, capacity for prompt delivery and personal service.
Champion's printing competitors are numerous and range in size from very
large national companies with substantially greater resources than the Company
to many smaller local companies. In recent years, despite consolidation within
the printing industry, there has been a substantial increase in technological
advances in new equipment, resulting in excess capacity and highly competitive
pricing. The Company has remained competitive by maintaining its printing
equipment at state-of-the-art levels and emphasizing personal attention to
customers.
Large national and regional mail order discount operations provide
significant competition in the office products and office furniture business.
The economics afforded by membership in a national purchasing association and by
purchasing directly from manufacturers, and the high level of personal services
to customers, contribute substantially to the Company's ability to compete in
the office supply and office furniture market segments.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The Company is subject to the environmental laws and regulations of the
United States and the states in which it operates concerning emissions into the
air, discharges into waterways and the generation, handling and disposal of
waste materials. The Company's past expenditures relating to environmental
compliance have not had a material effect on the Company and are included in
normal operating expenses. These laws and regulations are constantly evolving,
and it is impossible to predict accurately the effect they may have upon the
capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the Company in the
future. Based upon information currently available, management believes that
expenditures relating to environmental compliance will not have a material
impact on the financial position of the Company.
GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The Company's operations and the majority of its customers are located
east of the Mississippi River. The Company and its profitability may be more
susceptible to the effects of unfavorable or adverse local or regional economic
factors and conditions than a company with a more geographically diverse
customer base.
11
SEASONALITY
Historically, the Company has experienced a greater portion of its
annual sales and net income in the second and fourth quarters than in the first
and third quarters. The second quarter generally reflects increased orders for
printing of corporate annual reports and proxy statements. A post-Labor Day
increase in demand for printing services and office products coincides with the
Company's fourth quarter.
EMPLOYEES
On October 31, 2001, the Company had approximately 815 employees.
The Company's subsidiary, Interform Corporation, is party to a
collective bargaining agreement with the United Steelworkers of America,
AFL-CIO-CLC on behalf of its Local Union 8263 covering all production and
maintenance employees (totaling 88 employees at October 31, 2001) at its
Bridgeville, Pennsylvania facility. This contract expires May 31, 2006. The
Company believes relations with the union and covered employees are good.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Company is a commercial printer, business forms manufacturer and
office products and office furniture supplier in regional markets east of the
Mississippi River. The Company has grown through strategic acquisitions and
internal growth. Through such growth, the Company has realized regional
economies of scale, operational efficiencies, and exposure of its core products
to new markets. The Company has acquired fifteen printing companies, seven
office products and office furniture companies and a paper distribution division
(which was subsequently sold) since its initial public offering on January 28,
1993.
The Company's largest acquisition since the initial public offering was
the purchase of Interform on December 31, 1996. The addition of Interform sales
to the printing segment increased the printing component of the Company's
revenue mix. Through sales to independent distributors, and through its own
distributor, Consolidated Graphic Communications, Interform provides the Company
access to the large northeastern markets of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New
York.
The Company's net revenues consist primarily of sales of commercial
printing, business forms, tags, other printed products, office supplies, office
furniture, data products and office design services. The Company recognizes
revenues when products are shipped or services are rendered to the customer. The
Company's revenues are subject to seasonal fluctuations caused by variations in
demand for its products.
The Company's cost of sales primarily consists of raw materials,
including paper, ink, pre-press supplies and purchased office supplies,
furniture and data products, and manufacturing costs including direct labor,
indirect labor and overhead. Significant factors affecting the
20
Company's cost of sales include the costs of paper in both printing and office
supplies, the costs of labor and other raw materials.
The Company's operating costs consist of selling, general and
administrative expenses. These costs include salaries, commissions and wages for
sales, customer service, accounting, administrative and executive personnel,
rent, utilities, legal, audit, information systems equipment costs, software
maintenance and depreciation.

The following discussion and analysis presents the significant changes
in the financial position and results of operations of the Company and should be
read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes
thereto included elsewhere herein.
YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2000
Revenues
Consolidated net revenues were $125.1 million for the year ended October
31, 2001 compared to $126.3 million in the prior fiscal year. This change
represents a decrease in revenues of $1.2 million or 0.9%. Printing revenues
increased by $1.5 million or 1.5% from $96.7 million in 2000 to $98.1 million in
2001. The increase in printing sales was primarily the result of acquisitions
during 2001. Office products and office furniture revenue decreased $2.7 million
or 9.0% from $29.7 million in 2000 to $27.0 million in 2001. The decrease in
revenues for the office products and office furniture segment was primarily
attributable to lower furniture sales, resulting from a challenging economic
environment during 2001. Gross margin dollars declined in both divisions with an
overall decrease of $2.4 million or 6.4%.
Cost of Sales
Total cost of sales for the year ended October 31, 2001 totaled $90.5
million compared to $89.3 million in the previous year. This change represented
an increase of $1.2 million or 1.3% in cost of sales. Printing cost of sales
increased $2.4 million or 3.5% to $71.8 million in 2001 compared to $69.4
million in 2000. Printing cost of sales was higher due to an overall increase in
printing sales coupled with an increase in material costs as a percentage of
sales partially due to the recording of certain costs of the Company's
restructuring and profitability enhancement plan as a component of cost of goods
sold. Office products and office furniture cost of sales decreased $1.3 million
or 6.4% to $18.7 million from $19.9 million in 2000, primarily due to lower
furniture sales.
Operating Expenses and Income
Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses decreased $822,000
to $31.8 million in 2001 from $32.6 million in 2000. S,G&A as a percentage of
net sales represented 25.4% of net sales in 2001 compared with 25.8% of net
sales in 2000. This decrease is related, in part, to decreases in corporate
overhead expenses, and lower payroll related costs partially offset by increased
health insurance costs, travel costs and bad debt expenses.
The Company initiated a corporate-wide restructuring and profitability
enhancement plan in the third quarter of 2001. The plan was implemented to
effectuate certain key initiatives including plant and office consolidations,
headcount reductions, asset impairment issues and a general response to a
deteriorating economic environment. The Company followed the applicable
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, to
compute the tangible and intangible impairment portions of the restructuring
charges. As a result of the restructuring plan, the Company recorded a pre-tax
charge of $6.1 million or $4.3 million net of tax or $0.44 per share. The
charges were composed of the following components: write-down of
22
goodwill, facilities and equipment of $3,060,000; employee severance and
termination benefits of $55,000 and restructuring and other charges of
$2,976,000. The restructuring and other charges included charges related to
increases and related write-offs in the allowance for doubtful accounts,
inventory obsolescence reserves and inventory valuation modifications, costs
related to duplicative facility leases, computer systems related charges,
termination fees of a pension plan of an acquired company, and other general
charges to implement the above mentioned plan.
The charges are classified on the statement of operations as components
of income from operations. Inventory obsolescence and valuation reserves are
classified as a component of cost of sales in the amount of $978,000.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense decreased $127,000 to $900,000 in 2001 from $1.0
million in 2000 primarily as a result of a decrease in interest rates.
Other income increased approximately $400,000 primarily due to a gain
resulting from the strategic alliance with Xpedx.
Income Taxes
Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes were a benefit of
14.3% in 2001 compared with income tax expense of 41.0% in 2000.
The Company recorded a tax benefit in the third quarter of 2001 as a
result of restructuring and asset impairment charges. The effective income tax
rate in 2001 is reflective of certain tax attributes of non-deductible goodwill
resulting from asset impairment charges.
The effective income tax rate in 2000 approximates the combined federal
and state, net of federal benefit, statutory income tax rate.
Net Income (Loss)
For reasons set forth above, net income for 2001 decreased $4.3 million
to a net loss $(2.2) million, or $(0.22) per share on a basic and diluted basis,
from net income of $2.1 million for 2000, or $0.22 per share on a basic and
diluted basis.
YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999
Revenues
Consolidated net revenues were $126.3 million for the year ended October
31, 2000 compared to $124.4 million in the prior fiscal year. This change
represents a growth in revenues of $2.0 million or 1.6%. Printing revenues
increased by $4.3 million or 4.6% from $92.4 million in 1999 to $96.7 million in
2000. Office products and office furniture revenue decreased $2.3 million or
7.1% from $32.0 million in 1999 to $29.7 million in 2000. The decrease in
revenues for the office products and office furniture segment was primarily
attributable to lower furniture
23
sales. Gross margin dollars declined in both divisions with an overall decrease
of $548,000 or 1.5%.
Cost of Sales
Total cost of sales for the year ended October 31, 2000 totaled $89.3
million compared to $86.8 million in the previous year. This change represented
an increase of $2.5 million or 2.9% in cost of sales. Printing cost of sales
increased $4.4 million or 6.7% to $69.4 million in 2000 compared to $65.0
million in 1999. Printing cost of sales were higher due to an overall increase
in printing sales coupled with an increase in material costs as a percentage of
sales. Office products and office furniture cost of sales decreased $1.8 million
or 8.4% to $19.9 million from $21.8 million in 1999, primarily due to lower
furniture sales.
Operating Expenses and Income
Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses increased $1.2
million to $32.6 million in 2000 from $31.4 million in 1999. S,G&A as a
percentage of net sales represented 25.8% of net sales in 2000 compared with
25.2% of net sales in 1999. This increase is related, in part, to increases in
corporate overhead expenses, higher information system costs, depreciation on
newly acquired equipment and increased health insurance costs and expenses
related to AIM Printing and IPS being included for a full year in 2000. In
addition, expenses for eleven months for Diez are included in 2000.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense decreased $211,000 to $1.0 million in 2000 from $1.2
million in 1999 as a result of a reduction in debt. Interest income decreased
$87,000 to $71,000 in 2000 from $158,000 in 1999. The additional income in 1999
was due to higher average funds invested as a result of a stock offering in
April of 1998.
Income Taxes
Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes were 41.0% in 2000
compared with 40.1% in 1999. This increase was primarily caused by a change in
the geographic profitability mix of our operations, which resulted in higher
effective tax rates at the state level.
Net Income
For reasons set forth above, net income for 2000 decreased $1.1 million
to $2.1 million, or $0.22 per share on a basic and diluted basis, from $3.2
million for 1999, or $0.33 per share on a basic and diluted basis.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of October 31, 2001, the Company had $5.8 million of cash and cash
equivalents, an increase of $2.6 million from the prior year. Working capital as
of October 31, 2001 was $26.0 million, a decrease of $3.0 million from October
31, 2000. The decrease in working capital was
24
primarily the result of a decrease in current assets and an increase in current
liabilities in part due to capital expenditures, dividend payments and principal
payments on debt. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily
attributable to cash provided from operations including net cash flow from
accounts receivable and inventory reductions of $3.0 million and $1.0 million.
The Company has historically used cash generated from operating
activities and debt to finance capital expenditures and the cash portion of the
purchase price of acquisitions. Management plans to continue making significant
investments in equipment and to seek appropriate acquisition candidates.
However, to fund the Company's continued expansion of operations, additional
financing may be necessary. The Company has available a line of credit totaling
$10.0 million and a line of credit totaling $1.0 million (see Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information). For the
foreseeable future, management believes it can fund operations, meet debt
service requirements, and make the planned capital expenditures based on the
available cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and lines of
credit.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities for the years ended October 31,
2001, 2000 and 1999 were $11.5 million, $8.7 million and $4.2 million. Cash
flows from operating activities for the fiscal year 2001 compared to 2000
increased primarily due to positive cash flow from the reduction of accounts
receivable and inventory.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was ($2.7) million, ($3.1) million,
and ($4.9) million for the years ended October 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. Cash
flows used in investing activities decreased in 2001 compared to 2000 due to a
decrease in the purchase of property and equipment and from proceeds from the
sale of a division. These increases in cash were partially offset by cash
expended in the purchases of businesses in 2001. Cash flows used in investing
activities decreased in 2000 compared to 1999 due to a decrease in the purchase
of property and equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities for the years ended October 31,
2001, 2000, and 1999 were ($6.1) million, ($4.9) million and ($6.6) million.
Cash flows used in financing activities increased in 2001 compared to 2000 due
to an increase in principal payments on long-term debt. Dividends paid in 2001,
2000 and 1999 were $1.9 million per year.
INFLATION AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Management believes that the effect of inflation on the Company's operations has
not been material and will continue to be immaterial for the foreseeable future.
The Company does not have long-term contracts; therefore, to the extent
permitted by competition, it has the ability to pass through to its customers
most cost increases resulting from inflation, if any. In addition, the Company
is not particularly energy dependent; therefore, the increase in energy costs
should not have a significant impact on the Company.
25
SEASONALITY
Historically, the Company has experienced a greater portion of its
annual sales and net income in the second and fourth quarters than in the first
and third quarters. The second quarter generally reflects increased orders for
printing of corporate annual reports and proxy statements. A post-Labor Day
increase in demand for printing services and office products coincides with the
Company's fourth quarter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Champion Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Champion
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of October 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, statements of shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October
31, 2001. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in
the index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedule based upon our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Champion Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries at October 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended October 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the
related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.
