                                     PART I

ITEM 1 BUSINESS

a)     GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

       Moore Corporation Limited, a corporation incorporated under the laws of
       Ontario, Canada, together with its subsidiaries, referred to herein as
       Moore or the Corporation, was established in 1882. At December 31, 2000,
       Moore had approximately 16,200 employees worldwide.

       Moore is a leading international provider of products and services that
       help companies communicate through print and digital technologies. As a
       leading supplier of document formatted information, print outsourcing and
       data based marketing, Moore designs, manufactures and delivers business
       communication products, services and solutions to customers.

       Moore operates in two distinct, but complementary market segments: (1)
       Forms, Print Management and Related Products which includes Labels and
       Label Systems and (2) Customer Communication Services ("CCS"), which
       includes personalized direct mail, statement printing and database
       management. Moore operates on a decentralized strategic business unit
       basis within each geographical segment. In order to better serve customer
       needs for sales and marketing, Moore also specializes by industry segment
       and process application. As of December 31, 2000, the Corporation
       operated in the following operating segments: (1) Moore North America,
       (2) CCS United States, (3) Europe and (4) Latin America. As a result of
       the 1998 divestment of the Australasian business and the commencement of
       the liquidation process of the China joint ventures, the Asia Pacific
       operating segment, which existed in 1998, no longer exists in 1999. For
       the year ended December 31, 2000, Moore derived approximately 84% of its
       revenues from North America.

       Moore is committed to growth. For 2000, research and development
       expenditures totaled $21 million, compared to $23 million in 1999 and $27
       million in 1998. In the business document arena, development expenditures
       were focused on continuing to improve our market-leading pressure
       seal-mailers and growing our print-on-demand offerings. For the high
       speed digital printing business, a number of new, higher print quality
       offerings were introduced that improved the product appearance and
       supported new personalized products. For Internet-based applications, the
       Corporation focused on development of seamless fulfillment for digital
       print and communication products, as well as systems that provide
       flexible, cost efficient management of forms and documents that are
       easily accessible to end users. While re-affirming its commitment to
       future research efforts that will benefit customers the Corporation
       announced, in January 2001, the closure of its stand alone research and
       development facility and the re-channeling of all of its future research
       efforts through its various business units. By focusing research, and
       integrating its research activities into the core businesses, we are
       moving our R&D activities closer to the customer.

       RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
       In the third quarter of 1998, the Board of Directors approved a
       restructuring program as part of the Corporation's continuing initiative
       to enhance Moore's competitive position in its Forms business and to
       strengthen its long-term prospects for profitable growth. Accordingly, a
       pre-tax restructuring charge of $630 million was recorded in the third
       quarter of 1998. During the fourth quarters of 1998, 1999 and 2000, the
       restructuring provision was reduced by $15 million, $68 million and $29
       million respectively. Included in the net charge were costs related to
       the following actions and activities:

       ORGANIZATIONAL INTEGRATION ($111 MILLION). This action covers the
       integration of the sales and marketing, and logistics and manufacturing
       operations in North America. Included in the restructuring charge are
       costs associated with upgrading administrative and transaction processing
       systems to improve efficiency and responsiveness in the order-to-delivery
       cycle, and the creation of a shared services organization involving
       finance, procurement, human resources, communications, information
       technology and research and development resulting in workforce
       reductions.

       NON-STRATEGIC ASSET ELIMINATION ($309 MILLION). The restructuring
       includes the sale of certain international and North American businesses
       and a revaluation of goodwill related to certain acquisitions.

       MANUFACTURING RATIONALIZATION ($98 MILLION). The Corporation is
       consolidating Forms manufacturing operations across North America and
       internationally, and ceasing production of certain unprofitable products
       which resulted in the closure of 10 manufacturing facilities, primarily
       in North America. In addition, the print centers in the United States and
       Canada will be integrated into the North American manufacturing and
       logistics organization.

       Costs associated with the restructuring plan included non-cash costs of
       $344 million, and cash costs of $174 million, which were funded through
       normal operations and borrowings. Included in the restructuring program
       are charges associated with the divestiture of certain international and
       North American businesses, and the write-down of goodwill and property,
       plant and equipment. The asset write-downs for goodwill and for property,
       plant and equipment represent mainly a revaluation made for selective
       acquisitions and property, plant and equipment, primarily to be
       abandoned, under the Moore North America operating segment.

       The restructuring charge includes amounts to be paid in cash of $174
       million. Cash costs include mainly severance and termination benefits of
       $107 million to be paid to employees. Other cash costs of $67 million
       include costs for lease terminations, service contract buyouts and other
       obligations. Future payments for severance and termination benefits are
       expected to be funded through normal operations and borrowings.

       Actions under the restructuring program commenced in the third quarter of
       1998 and are expected to be completed in the year 2001. The majority of
       the restructuring actions were executed in 1999.


                                       5
<PAGE>

       RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS COMPLETED THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1998
       The Corporation was successful in completing certain actions during 1998,
       especially in relation to the European and Australasia Forms businesses
       which were exited on more favorable terms than initially anticipated, and
       actual and planned workforce reductions at a lower cost. On August 1,
       1998, the Corporation disposed of its European Forms business resulting
       in a pre-tax loss of $85 million, of which $44 million was provided for
       in the 1998 restructuring charge, and $41 million was provided for in
       1997. The Australian and New Zealand businesses were divested on December
       30, 1998 resulting in a pre-tax loss of $42 million which was fully
       provided for in the restructuring provision. In the fourth quarter of
       1998, the Corporation initiated steps to liquidate its joint ventures in
       China at an estimated loss of $8 million as provided for in the
       restructuring provision.

       In the last six months of 1998, the Corporation undertook substantial
       steps to complete the integration of its sales and marketing, and
       logistics and manufacturing operations in North America, resulting in the
       consolidation of 10 operating units into one business. The creation of
       the North American shared services functions began, including the process
       of streamlining administrative functions. The Corporation closed two
       plants in North America, eliminated numerous management positions in its
       North America Forms and Labels operations, and commenced other workforce
       delayering actions. The employee base was reduced by approximately 2,900
       people by December 1998 due to the impact of the divestitures
       contemplated by the restructuring plan (2,600 employees), plant closures
       and other workforce reduction actions.

       RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS COMPLETED THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1999
       The Corporation completed a number of restructuring actions in 1999
       including the closure of five manufacturing facilities, bringing the
       total number of plant closures in North America to seven. Since July
       1999, the Corporation started the process of closing and integrating its
       warehouses and U.S. print centers into a new manufacturing organization.
       Other actions in North America during 1999 included the consolidation of
       the Canadian and U.S. sales and administrative offices, the
       implementation of a shared services organization, and the continuation of
       workforce delayering actions. In Europe, the Corporation substantially
       completed the consolidation of its manufacturing facilities in France and
       finalized the liquidation of a joint venture investment. Since the
       restructuring program began, the employee base was reduced by
       approximately 3,900 people by December 1999 due to divestitures
       contemplated by the restructuring plan (2,600 employees), plant closures
       and other workforce reduction actions.

       RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS COMPLETED THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2000
       The Corporation completed a number of restructuring actions in 2000
       including the process of closing and integrating its warehouses and U.S.
       print centers into a new manufacturing organization. Other actions in
       North America during 2000 included the continuation of workforce
       delayering actions. Since the restructuring program began, the employee
       base has been reduced by approximately 4,100 people by December 2000 due
       to divestitures contemplated by the restructuring plan (2,600 employees),
       plant closures and other workforce reduction actions.


                                       6
<PAGE>

       The successful completion of several restructuring actions within all
       three action areas at lower than anticipated costs, and the current
       forecast for outstanding actions, have resulted in the Corporation
       reversing $68 million of charges under the restructuring program during
       the fourth quarter of 1999 and a further $29 million in the fourth
       quarter of 2000. These activities included the sale of certain North
       American businesses, the favorable settlement of claims related to the
       disposition of the European and Australasia Forms businesses and the
       negotiation of costs to exit customer contracts and lease agreements at
       more favorable terms than originally planned. These reversals also
       reflect decisions made by management, during the period, to maintain some
       businesses that were originally earmarked for disposal. Gains on
       disposals have been credited to the restructuring provision to the extent
       that an impairment loss was classified as restructuring in the original
       provision.

       The carrying value of remaining assets held for disposal as at December
       31, 2000 is nil. Results of operations related to assets held for
       disposal at December 31, 2000 are sales of $4 million ($39 million in
       1999 and $46 million in 1998) and losses from operations of $1 million in
       2000 ($1 million in 1999 and $2 million in 1998). During 2000,
       approximately $10 million of severance and termination benefits were paid
       out to employees ($17 million in 1999 and $13 million in 1998).

       for the three years ended December 31, 2000 are presented in Note 20 of

c)     NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

       Products and Services

       Moore serves the business communication needs of corporations,
       governments and other enterprises through primarily two industry
       segments: (1) Forms, Labels and Related Products and (2) CCS. Moore
       manages the products and services offered through four different
       operating segments: Moore North America, CCS United States, Latin America
       and Europe. Due to dispositions made in 1998, the Asia Pacific operating
       segment, which existed in 1998 and prior, no longer exists in 1999.

       Forms, Labels and Related Products accounted for approximately 69% of
       Moore's revenues in 2000 and 1999 respectively. The forms and labels
       segment encompasses custom business forms and equipment, print management
       outsourcing, facilities management, pressure seal mailing services,
       pressure sensitive labels, linerless labels, variable image bar codes,
       integrated forms/labels combinations and electronic forms.

       Moore North America and the Latin American businesses each provide
       predominantly forms and label products and services, while Europe
       provides only CCS products and services.

                                       7
<PAGE>

       The CCS businesses accounted for approximately 31% of total revenue in
       2000 and 1999. The principal operations are conducted through Business
       Communication Services ("BCS") and Response Marketing Services ("RMS") in
       addition to certain ancillary businesses in both the United States and
       Europe.

       BCS services include statement re-engineering and printing, image and
       mail outsourcing, compliance mailings and prepaid calling cards. BCS
       accesses, selects and formats customer information and supplies
       appropriate marketing-oriented output, which is either paper-based or
       electronic.

       RMS creates, produces and manages effective personalized direct marketing
       programs. Additional revenue is generated by providing research, database
       expertise, customer relationship management and other independent direct
       marketing services, as well as other print related services.

       COMPETITION

       The Corporation derives 75% (1999 - 76%) of its revenue from the United
       States marketplace with sales in Forms, Print Management and Related
       Products representing the largest component of its United States revenue.

       While the forms segment in North America continues to consolidate, there
       are 15 to 20 major forms companies of which Moore ranks in the top five.
       In addition, there are approximately 480 smaller companies organized on a
       regional and local basis.

       The industry is very competitive with customers focused on increasing
       their revenue, controlling expenses and managing assets more effectively.
       Moore's strategy, in line with this environment, is to provide integrated
       management of all business documents - both paper and digital - and the
       services that support these documents and programs throughout their life
       cycle.

       The traditional United States forms marketplace is experiencing
       competition from commercial printing markets, label manufacturers, office
       products suppliers, and direct mail production companies as well as
       service bureaus. The trends in the marketplace are toward electronic
       commerce, integrated business communications management; shorter
       production runs; the logical extension of forms into direct mail and
       other targeted communications; and the conversion of most business
       information to digital format including changing what is printed as well
       as quantity, method and frequency of printing.

       RAW MATERIAL

       The primary raw material required in a printing operation is paper. The
       price of paper is volatile over time and may cause significant swings in
       net sales and cost of sales. We generally are able to pass on increases
       in the cost of paper to our customers, while declines in paper costs
       result in lower prices to our customers. Our materials


                                       8
<PAGE>

       management program capitalizes on our purchasing power in order to
       minimize materials costs while optimizing inventory management. In
       addition, our strong commercial relationships with a small number of
       suppliers allow us to negotiate favorable price discounts and achieve
       more assured sourcing of paper that meets our specifications. We are not
       dependent upon any one source for our paper.

       INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

       Moore is the holder of a significant number of patents and trademarks in
       the United States and throughout the world. The Corporation believes that
       its patents, trademarks and other proprietary rights are material to the
       operations of its business. Moore actively pursues copyright protection
       for its form and stationery products to prevent copycat production by
       competitors. In addition Moore utilizes copyright protection for certain
       software and firmware developments.

       BACKLOG

       At December 31, 2000, the backlog of firm customer orders to be handled
       in the next 120 days was approximately $129 million. ($115 million at
       December 31, 1999).

       WORKING CAPITAL

       Short-term securities, accounts receivables and inventory comprise
       substantially all of the working capital in the Corporation.

       In North America, the Corporation sells its products and services
       principally on a "net 30 days" basis, which is the standard industry
       payment term. For the Corporation's other subsidiaries the payment terms
       are standard within their business segment and country.

       Raw material inventory is mainly paper and is comprised of externally
       purchased plain paper and a combination of internally converted
       carbonless and carbonized paper. Raw material on hand as of December 31,
       2000 and December 31, 1999 was 1.1 months and 1.1 months, respectively.

       Finished goods inventory is comprised principally of orders
       custom-manufactured for customers under forms management agreements under
       which the forms are released to the customers over a set period of time.
       The cost of warehousing and financing these inventories is included with
       the price of the products. The finished goods inventory was 60% of total
       inventory at December 31, 2000 (December 31, 1999 - 65%).

       EMPLOYEES

       At December 31, 2000, the Corporation employed 16,166 employees (December
       31, 1999 - 15,812).

       ITEM 2  PROPERTIES

       The operations of the Corporation are carried on in 10.4 million square
       feet of manufacturing, administrative, warehouse, sales offices and
       research space. This is a slight decrease from 1999 space of 10.9 million
       square feet. The decrease is attributable to the actions brought upon by
       the restructuring plan. The plan has resulted in the closure of many
       manufacturing and administrative locations as well as moves from larger
       to smaller facilities.

       The following table summarizes the manufacturing and administrative space
       of the Corporation at December 31, 2000:

</TABLE>

       In addition to the above listed properties, the Corporation maintains
       warehouse facilities and sales offices, most of which are leased.

       The Corporation's facilities have been well maintained and, with a few
       exceptions in the overseas subsidiaries, are believed to conform to
       modern industrial standards in their respective locations. At December
       31, 2000, 86.9% of the total square footage was utilized. The utilization
       rate is affected by the existence of empty plants resulting from the
       restructuring actions as mentioned above. These locations comprise 1.1
       million square feet or 10.25% of the total square footage mentioned
       above.

       indicates that, individually and in the aggregate, the probable ultimate
       resolution of such matters will not have a materially adverse effect on
       the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation.

Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Retained Earnings and Cash Flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, together with the report thereon of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP dated February 22, 2001, appearing on pages 29 to 57
of the Moore Corporation Limited 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders, are
incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K. With the exception of the
aforementioned information and the information incorporated in Items 1, 5, 6, 7
and 8 of this Form 10-K, the Moore Corporation Limited 2000 Annual Report to
Shareholders is not to be deemed filed as part of this report. The financial
statement schedule which follows should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements in the Moore Corporation Limited 2000 Annual Report to
Shareholders. Financial statement schedules not included have been omitted
because they are not applicable or the required information is shown in the
financial statements or notes thereto.

Separate financial statements of associated companies accounted for by the
equity method have been omitted because the proportionate share of their profit
before income taxes and total assets of each company are less than 20% of the
respective consolidated amounts, and investments in such companies are
individually less than 20% of consolidated total assets of the Registrant.

The Report of Independent Accountants on the Financial Statement Schedule
