INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The UARCO Savings Advantage 401(k) Plan

Dayton, Ohio

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the UARCO Savings Advantage 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

UARCO SAVINGS ADVANTAGE 401(k) PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2000

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following is a general description of the UARCO Savings Advantage 401(k) Plan (Plan). For a more complete description of the Plan's provisions, participants should refer to the Plan agreement.

General

The Plan was established June 1, 1988, by UARCO Incorporated (the Company) for eligible employees of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. The purpose of the Plan is to encourage those employees to provide for their financial security through regular savings and to assist them through matching contributions from the Company.

On December 31, 1997 all of the outstanding shares of the Company (plan sponsor) were purchased by the Standard Register Company (SRC). The Company operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of SRC for three months until it was merged into SRC, effective March 31, 1998.

Effective April 1, 1998, all UARCO Incorporated employees were employed by SRC and enrolled into the Standard Register Employee Savings Plan. No further employer contributions to the UARCO Savings Advantage 401(k) Plan are planned.

Eligibility

Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan if they were employees of the Company or its domestic subsidiaries and had completed at least one year of service of at least 1,000 hours.

Contributions

Participants were able to contribute up to 15% of pretax compensation, and up to 20% of compensation equal to any whole percentage of such compensation per payroll period. The sponsor was permitted to make discretionary matching contributions. Effective April 1, 1998, all of the employees of UARCO Incorporated were employed by the Standard Register Company and enrolled in the Standard Register Employee Savings Plan. No further contributions to the UARCO Savings Advantage 401(k) Plan are planned.

All pretax contributions are considered tax-deferred under sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

4

Participants were always fully vested in their own contributions, plus earnings thereon. Effective April 1, 1998, participants became fully vested in employer matching contributions. Prior to that date, vesting in employer matching contributions, plus earnings thereon, is 20% per year. When a participant terminates employment prior to being fully vested in the matching contributions, these nonvested amounts are considered forfeitures and are used as credits against future employer discretionary matching contributions.

Loans

Participants are eligible to borrow against the balances in their accounts, subject to limits established by the IRS. Participants may borrow 50% of their vested balance up to $50,000. The minimum loan is $750. Repayment of a long-term loan may not exceed 15 years. Repayment is intended to be made via payroll deductions. Interest is assessed at a rate, which is equal to 1% above prime at the time of the loan origin.

Distributions

All distributions under the Plan are lump sum, through installment payments, or through the purchase of a fixed annuity contract. Distributions are not permitted while the participants are employed by the Company, except for "Hardship" as defined by the IRS, when employees reach age 59 1/2 or become disabled, and distributions of after-tax contributions and rollovers. Participants who have terminated or retired may elect an immediate distribution or may defer this distribution up to age 70 1/2 if the fund balance is at least $3,500.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual method of accounting.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Administrative Expenses

Substantially all administrative expenses are paid by the Plan's sponsor.

5

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Plan Trustee

Investments are held by T. Rowe Price Trust Company, the Plan's trustee.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

T. Rowe Price Mutual Funds and Standard Register Company common stock are stated at fair value as determined by the market values of the underlying securities. Participant loans are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

During 2000 and 1999, the Plan's investments (including investments bought, sold, as well as held, during the period) (depreciated) appreciated in fair value by $(4,179,186) and $7,949,497, respectively, as follows:

	2000	1999
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. mutual funds	$  (4,162,594)	$  7,977,618
Standard Register Company common stock	(16,592)	(28,121)
Total	$  (4,179,186) ==========	$  7,949,497 =========

NOTE 4 - PLAN TERMINATION

Subject to certain limitations, the plan sponsor can amend, modify, or discontinue the Plan. If the plan sponsor should decide to discontinue the Plan, the trustee shall perform a valuation of the Trust fund as of the termination date, and the participant accounts will be adjusted by the plan sponsor in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Distributions to participants of their accounts will be made by the trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service ruled July 18, 1995, that the Plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, the related trust is not subject to tax under present income tax law. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification.

The plan sponsor has filed a walk-in closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service in an attempt to resolve certain operational defects that occurred from 1994 through 1997. The plan sponsor intends to cover the cost of any penalties or corrections that may be required as a result of this agreement. The plan sponsor, along with its legal counsel, believe that the plan's qualified status is not in any danger of being revoked.

6

NOTE 6 - CONCENTRATIONS OF INVESTMENT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the plan to significant concentrations of risk consist primarily of mutual funds and common stock. These investments are subject to the normal risks associated with financial markets.

The fair or contract value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's assets as of December 31 is as follows:

	December 31
	2000	1999
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. Mutual Funds:
MID Cap Growth Fund	$  6,179,534	$  5,438,753

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

ON SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

The UARCO Savings Advantage 401(k) Plan

Dayton, Ohio

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
