           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 periods ended November 30, 2000 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  29,  2000, from which the accompanying condensed  consolidated
   balance  sheet  at  February  29, 2000  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  November 30, 2000, the Company has reserved 1,060,000 shares  of
   common stock under incentive stock option plans.  For the three and nine
   month  periods  ended  November  30,  2000 and 1999, 197,375 and 194,775
   options,  respectively, were  not included in  the diluted earnings  per
   share computation because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

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):

   Notes).   On  June  6,  2000,  the Company acquired  Northstar  Computer
   Forms, Inc. (Northstar) which became the Financial Solutions Group.   In
   the  comparative prior year periods, the Company reported the Tool & Die
   company   as  a  separate  segment.   The  current  year's  presentation

6. Plant Relocation
   ----------------
   In  April  2000,  the  Company decided to move its  Louisville,  Kentucky
   operations into its current Denver, Colorado facilities in order to  take
   advantage  of  synergies  identified  with  our  newly acquired business.
   Thirty-seven employees  at the Louisville plant have been terminated, and
   the Denver facilities have hired twenty-one additional employees to cover
   the added work.  The  move  was  completed in the quarter ended  November


                                     6


   30,  2000.  The Company has incurred a $652,000 pre-tax charge related to
   the shut down of  the Louisville plant for the nine months ended November
   30,  2000.   In  the  quarter  ending  November  30,  2000,  we  sold our
   Louisville facility for a pre-tax gain of $661,000.

7. Purchase of Northstar
   ---------------------
   On   June  6,  2000,  the  Company  completed  its  acquisition  of   the
   outstanding  stock  of  Northstar  for  approximately  $44,200,000.   The
   acquisition was financed with $36,500,000 in bank loans with the  balance
   being  provided  by internal cash resources.  Northstar became  a  wholly
   owned subsidiary and operates as the Financial Solutions Group.

   Northstar designs, manufactures and markets printed forms with an
   emphasis on machine-readable MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition)
   printing.  Northstar's two business concentrations are custom
   business/negotiable forms and internal bank forms.

   The acquisition of Northstar was accounted for by the purchase method and
   the Company recognized the excess of amounts allocated to net identifiable
   assets of approximately $15,700,000 which is being amortized over a period
   of 15 years.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
   the operations of Northstar since the date of acquisition.  The
   following table presents certain operating information on a pro forma
   basis as though Northstar had been acquired as of March 1, 1999, after
   including the estimated impact of adjustments such as amortization of
   goodwill and depreciation, interest expense, reduced interest income and
   related tax effects (in thousands, except per share amounts):

     Earnings per share - basic and diluted        0.25         0.23

     For the Nine Months Ended November 30,      2000         1999
     --------------------------------------      ----         ----

     Net sales                                 $170,616     $154,691
     Net earnings                                11,795       10,827
     Earnings per share - basic and diluted        0.73         0.67

   The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have
   occurred if the acquisition had been in effect for the periods
   presented.  In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of
   future results and do not reflect any synergies that might be achieved
   from combining the operations.

8. Long-Term Debt
   --------------
   Long-term debt consisted of the following at November 30, 2000 and
   February 29, 2000 (dollars in thousands):

                                    November 30,   February 29,
                                        2000           2000

   Term loan                          $21,000          $ --
   Revolving credit facility            8,500            --
   Industrial revenue bonds             1,340            --
   Other                                  816           764
                                       ------           ---
                                       31,656           764
   Less current installments            4,175           302
                                       ------           ---
   Long-term debt                     $27,481          $462
                                       ======           ===

   The term loan is due in quarterly installments of $850,000 commencing on
   September 30, 2000 and continuing each quarter until the loan is payable
   in full on June 30, 2003.  Interest payments are required monthly at
   LIBOR plus one percent (7.62% as of November 30, 2000).

   The availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by
   $460,000 commencing on March 31, 2001 and continuing each quarter until
   the loan matures on June 30, 2003, at which time all amounts outstanding
   are payable in full.  Interest payments are required monthly at LIBOR
   plus one percent (7.62% as of November 30, 2000).  Availability under
   the revolving credit facility at November 30, 2000 is $3,000,000.

   The industrial revenue bonds are obligations of Northstar and require
   annual principal repayments of $335,000 until fully paid in August 2004.
   Interest payments are required monthly at a variable rate based upon
   comparable tax-exempt issues.

   The Company utilizes swap agreements related to the term loan to
   effectively fix the interest rate at 6.89% for $25,000,000 of the
   principal amount of the loan. The fair value of the swap at November
   30, 2000 is not material.

   The term loan and the revolving credit facility contain certain
   restrictive covenants, including restrictions on additional indebtedness,
   investments in or advances to others, acquisitions of other businesses,
   declaration and payment of dividends and repurchase of capital stock.
   The term loan and revolving credit facility are unsecured.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
     At November 30, 2000, the Company's financial position continues to be
strong.  Working capital increased from $32,780,000 at February 29, 2000 to
$42,055,000 at November 30, 2000.  The increase is due to cash provided  by
operating  activities.   The  Company has  $10,163,000  in  cash  and  cash
equivalents, $1,079,000 in short term investments, $2,433,000 in long  term
investments  and $27,481,000 in long-term debt, less current  installments.
The  Company's  acquisition of Northstar for approximately $44,200,000  was
financed with $36,500,000 in bank loans with the balance being provided  by
internal cash  resources.  The Company made a scheduled payment of $850,000
and pre-paid  $6,150,000  of  the  debt financing during the quarter  ended
November 30, 2000.  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 three months and nine months ended November 30, 2000
increased  40.1% and 34.1% respectively from the corresponding  periods  in
the  prior  year. The increases for the three and nine months  were  mainly
attributable to revenue from the Company's newly acquired businesses, Adams
McClure  LP and American Forms, Inc., both acquired in November  1999,  and
Northstar acquired in June 2000.

     Gross  profit  margins decreased from 33.1% in the three months  ended
November  30,  1999 to 30.2% in the three months ended November  30,  2000.
Gross profit margins decreased from 31.9% in the nine months ended November
30, 1999 to 30.9% in the nine months ended November 30, 2000.  The decrease
in  gross  margin  is  attributable to the fact that our  acquisitions,  as
reflected  in  the Promotional Solutions Group and the Financial  Solutions
Group,  typically have lower gross profit margins than gross profit margins
in the Forms Solutions Group.

     Selling,  general and administrative expenses for the three  and  nine
months  ended  November  30, 2000 increased 46.2%  and  34.3%  respectively
compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.  This increase  was
mainly attributable to the acquisitions described above.

     Other  income  (expense) decreased in the three and nine months  ended
November  30,  2000  from the same periods in the prior  year  due  to  the
increase  in  interest  expense related to  our  loans  for  the  Northstar
acquisition.

     Earnings before income taxes increased 2.0% and 7.5% for the three and
nine  months ended November 30, 2000 from the corresponding periods in  the
prior year.  Basic and diluted earnings per share increased $0.01 and $0.04
respectively for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2000 from the
corresponding periods in the prior year. The per share earnings were  based
upon  three  months and nine months weighted average shares outstanding  of
16,270,876 and 16,239,279, respectively, for the periods ended November 30,
2000  and weighted average shares outstanding of 16,287,986 and 16,267,266,
respectively, for the periods ended November 30, 1999.

     The  effective rate of Federal and state income tax expense was  37.8%
and  37.5%  for the three months ended November 30, 2000 and  November  30,
1999,  respectively, and 38.5% and 37.1% for the nine months ended November


                                     9


30,  2000  and November 30, 1999.  The effective rate increased principally
as  a  result  of  an increase in non-deductible expenses relating  to  the
acquisitions.

Accounting Standards
--------------------
       Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  133,
Accounting for Derivative and Hedging Activities, was issued in June  1998.
This   statement  establishes  accounting  and  reporting   standards   for
derivative  instruments, including certain derivative instruments  embedded
in  other  contracts, and for hedging activities.  This statement  will  be
effective  for  the  Company beginning March 1, 2001.  The adoption of SFAS
No.  133  is  not  expected  to  have  a  material  impact on our financial
statements.




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 December 22, 2000.
