                   ENNIS BUSINESS FORMS, INC.
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Basis of Presentation
   ---------------------
   These  unaudited  condensed consolidated financial  statements
   of   Ennis   Business   Forms,  Inc.  and   its   subsidiaries
   (collectively  the  "Company" or  "Ennis"),  for  the  quarter
   ended  May  31,  2001  have been prepared in  accordance  with
   generally   accepted   accounting   principles   for   interim
   financial reporting.  Accordingly, they do not include all  of
   the  information and footnotes required by generally  accepted
   accounting  principles for complete financial  statements  and
   should  be  read in conjunction with the audited  consolidated
   financial  statements  and  notes  thereto  included  in   the
   Company's  Form  10-K for the year ended  February  28,  2001,
   from  which  the  accompanying condensed consolidated  balance
   sheet  at  February  28,  2001 was derived.   All  significant
   intercompany  balances and transactions have  been  eliminated
   in   consolidation.   In  the  opinion  of   management,   all
   adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
   considered  necessary for a fair presentation of  the  interim
   financial  information have been included.    The  results  of
   operations   for  any  interim  period  are  not   necessarily
   indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

2. Stock Option Plans
   ------------------
   As  of  May 31, 2001, the Company has reserved 980,777  shares
   of  common stock under incentive stock option plans.  For  the
   three  month  periods ended May 31, 2001  and  2000,  options,
   respectively,  were not included in the diluted  earnings  per
   share  computation  because  their  inclusion  would  not   be
   dilutive.   The difference between basic and diluted  earnings
   per share would be due to dilutive stock options.

3. Inventories
   -----------
   The  Company  uses  the Last-In, First-Out  (LIFO)  method  of
   pricing  the  raw  material content of most  of  its  business
   forms  inventories, and the First-In, First-Out (FIFO)  method
   is   used  to  value  the  remainder.   The  following   table
   summarizes  the  components  of  inventory  at  the  different
   stages of production (in thousands of dollars):

                                    May 31,     February 28,

4. Accumulated other comprehensive loss
   ------------------------------------
   Accumulated   other  comprehensive  loss   consists   of   the
   effective unrealized portion of changes in the fair  value  of
   the  Company's  cash  flow  hedge.  Comprehensive  income  was
   approximately  $2,700,000 for the three months ended  May  31,
   2001.   There  were  no  differences between  net  income  and
   comprehensive income in fiscal year 2001.

5. Segment Data
   ------------
   The  Company  operates  three business  segments.   The  Forms
   Solutions  Group is primarily in the business of manufacturing
   and   selling  business  forms  and  other  printed   business
   products to customers primarily located in the United  States.
   The  Promotional Solutions Group is comprised of Adams McClure

7. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
   -------------------------------------------------------
   The  Company  adopted  Statement   of   Financial   Accounting
   Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  133,     "Accounting  for Derivative
   Instruments  and  Hedging Activities,"  as amended by SFAS No.
   138, on March 1, 2001.  SFAS No. 133 establishes standards for
   derivative   instruments,      including   certain  derivative
   instruments  embedded  in  other  contracts,  and  for hedging
   activities.     It  requires  that  an  entity  recognize  all
   derivatives  as  either  assets  or liabilities in the balance
   sheet   and  measure  those  instruments  at  fair  value.  It
   establishes   conditions  under  which  a  derivative  may  be
   designated as a hedge, and establishes standards for reporting
   changes in the fair value of a derivative.

   The Company uses principally floating-rate debt to finance its
   operations.    These  debt  obligations  expose the Company to
   variability  in  interest  payments due to changes in interest
   rates.   Management  believes  it  is  prudent  to  limit  the
   variability  of its interest payments.  To meet this objective
   and  in  accordance  with  the  Company's  hedging policy, the
   Company  utilizes  interest  rate  swaps  to  manage   overall
   borrowing costs and reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in
   interest  rates.   The Company does not enter into  derivative
   instruments  for any purpose  other  than  cash  flow  hedging
   purposes.   That  is, the  Company  does not  speculate  using
   derivative instruments.

   The  Company   assesses   interest  rate  cash  flow  risk  by
   continually  identifying  and  monitoring  changes in interest
   rate exposures  that may adversely impact expected future cash
   flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.

   The Company  has entered into an  interest rate swap agreement
   with a  notional amount  of $22,450,000 at May 31, 2001.   The
   interest  rate swap  agreement  expires  in  fiscal  2003  and
   effectively  converts  the  floating rate  debt under the term
   loan and  revolving  credit  facility to fixed rate debt.  The
   estimated fair value of the swap agreement at May 31, 2001 was
   a liability of approximately  $713,000,  which is included  in
   accrued  expenses in the  accompanying  condensed consolidated
   balance  sheet.   The  transition  adjustment   recorded  upon
   adoption of SFAS No. 133  was  $825,000 and the change  during
   the three  months  ended  May 31, 2001  was  due to the  early
   extinguishments  of a  portion  of the  hedged debt obligation
   and amounts reclassified into interest expense.

   Changes  in the fair  value of interest rate swaps designed as
   hedging   instruments  of   the   variability  of  cash  flows
   associated  with floating  rate  obligations  are  reported in
   accumulated  other  comprehensive   income.     These  amounts
   subsequently are reclassified into interest expense as a yield
   adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on
   the floating-rate debt obligations affects earnings.

   During  the  next  twelve  months,  approximately  $400,000 of
   losses  in accumulated  other comprehensive  income related to
   the interest  rate swap  are expected  to be reclassified into
   interest  expense as  a yield  adjustment  of the  hedged debt
   obligation.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources
------------------------------
     At  May 31, 2001, the Company's financial position continues
to   be  strong.   Working  capital  increased  marginally   from
$40,355,000 at February 28, 2001 to $40,685,000 at May 31,  2001.
The  Company  has  $11,403,000  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents,
$1,694,000  in short term investments, $1,084,000  in  long  term
investments  and  $20,297,000  in long-term  debt,  less  current
installments.   The Company expects to generate  sufficient  cash
flow  to  more  than cover its operating and capital requirements
for the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations
---------------------
     Net sales for the first quarter ended May 31, 2001 increased
21.2%  from  the  corresponding period in  the  prior  year.  The
increase  in  the first quarter resulted from Northstar  Computer
Forms,  Inc.  (Northstar), which we acquired  in  June  2000  and
accounted for an increase of 23.8%.  This was mitigated by a 2.6%
decline  in  revenue in the Forms Solutions  Group  which  was  a
result  of  weakness  in  the general economy.   The  Promotional
Solutions Group remained relatively unchanged.

     Gross  profit  margins decreased from  29.8%  in  the  first
quarter  ended  May 31, 2000 to 26.9% in the first quarter  ended
May  31,  2001.  The decrease is the result of a  combination  of
factors, primarily margin pressures in the Forms Solutions Group,
which   are   due  to  economic  conditions  and  accounted   for
approximately  1.4  percentage  points  of  the  reduction.    In
addition,   the   Promotional  Solutions  Group   accounted   for
approximately  1.1  percentage points of  the  reduction  due  to
higher cost of sales from the prior year.  Finally, the inclusion
of  the  Financial Solutions Group (Northstar) accounted  for  an
approximate  reduction of .4 percentage points, as  this  group's
normal  margins  are  generally lower than  the  Forms  Solutions
Group.

     Selling,  general and administrative expenses for the  first
quarter  ended  May  31,  2001 increased 15.3%  compared  to  the
corresponding period in the prior year.  This increase was mainly
attributable to the acquisition of Northstar in June  2000  which
accounted  for  an increase of 26%.  This was mitigated  by  cost
reductions  in the Forms Solutions Group of 3.4%, the Promotional
Solutions Group of 6.5% and in Corporate of .8%.

     Interest expense increased from $10,000 in the first quarter
ended May 31, 2000 to $686,000 in the first quarter ended May 31,
2001 as a result of the $36,500,000 debt incurred on June 6, 2000
to finance the Northstar Acquisition.

     Investment  and other income decreased in the first  quarter
ended May 31, 2000 from the same period in the prior year due  to
decreased amounts of funds available for investment.

     The  effective  rate  of the Federal and  state  income  tax
expense  was 39.3% and 37.8% for the first quarter ended May  31,
2001 and May 31, 2000, respectively.  The primary reason for  the
increase  is  due to non-deductible goodwill from the acquisition
of Northstar.

Forward looking statement
-------------------------
      Management's  result of operations contains forward-looking
statements  that reflect the Company's current view with  respect
to future revenues and earnings.  These statements are subject to
numerous  uncertainties, including (but not limited to) the  rate
at   which   the  business  forms  market  is  contracting,   the
application  of  technology to the production of business  forms,
demand for the Company's products in the context of a contracting
market,  variability  in  the  prices  of  paper  and  other  raw
materials,  and  competitive conditions  in  the  business  forms
market.  Because of such uncertainties, readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of June 29, 2001.
