                  Independent Auditors' Report



To the Participants and Administrator
Ennis Business Forms, Inc. 401(k) Plan


We   have  audited  the  accompanying  statement  of  net  assets
available  for  benefits  (modified  cash  basis)  of  the  Ennis
Business Forms, Inc. 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2002, and the
related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
(modified  cash basis) for the year 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 audit.

We  conducted  our  audit 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 audit provides  a  reasonable
basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 2, the financial statements and supplemental
schedule  were  prepared on a modified cash basis of  accounting,
which   is  a  comprehensive  basis  of  accounting  other   than
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States  of
America.

In  our  opinion,  the  financial statements  referred  to  above
present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  net   assets
available  for  benefits  (modified  cash  basis)  of  the  Ennis
Business Forms, Inc. 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2002, and the
changes  in  net  assets  available for benefits  (modified  cash
basis)  for  the year then ended in conformity with the  modified
cash basis of accounting described in Note 2.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion  on
the  financial  statements taken as a  whole.   The  accompanying
supplemental  schedule (modified cash basis) of assets  (held  at
end of year) as of December 31, 2002 is presented for purposes of
additional  analysis and is not a required part of the  financial
statements  but  is  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.   The  supplemental schedule is the responsibility  of  the
Plan's  management.   The  supplemental schedule  (modified  cash
basis)  has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied  in
our  audit of the 2002 financial statements and, in our  opinion,
is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2002
financial statements taken as a whole.

                  Notes to Financial Statements
                      (Modified Cash Basis)

                   December 31, 2002 and 2001

1. Description of the Plan

   The  following description of the Ennis Business  Forms,  Inc.
   (the  Company) 401(k)  Plan (the Plan) provides  only  general
   information.  Participants should refer to the  Plan  document
   for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

   (a) General

       The Plan  was  formed February 1, 1994 and  is  a  defined
       contribution plan covering substantially all employees  of
       the Company.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
       Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)
       and the Internal  Revenue  Code  (IRC).  In  addition, the
       financial statements have been prepared in compliance with
       ERISA.

   (b) Eligibility

       Employees age 18 and older of the Company are eligible  to
       participate in  the  Plan  after  completing  60  days  of
       service, as defined by the Plan.

   (c) Contributions

       Participants may make voluntary contributions to  the Plan
       ranging  from  1% to 100% of eligible pay  subject to  the
       Internal  Revenue  Service (IRS) annual  limitations.  The
       Plan   allows   rollovers   of  distributions  from  other
       qualified  plans.  The  Plan  provides  for  50%  employer
       matching    contribution    or    discretionary   employer
       contributions  not  to exceed $1,000 for certain employees
       not enrolled  in  the Pension  Plan for Employees of Ennis
       Business   Forms,    Inc.   Eligibility    for    employer
       contributions  depends  on  the  participant's  employment
       location.

       During  the  year,  the  Company  made  a  profit  sharing
       contribution of $450,000 on behalf of the former employees
       of  Northstar Computer Forms, Inc in accordance with their
       original  Plan. The Northstar Computer Forms,  Inc. 401(k)
       Profit   Sharing   Plan   was  merged  into  the  Plan  on
       February 1, 2001.

   (d) Participant Accounts

       Each participant's   account   is   credited   with    the
       participant's contribution, any employer contribution, and
       allocation of the Plan earnings. Allocations are based  on
       participant  earnings  or account  balances, as defined in
       the Plan document.  The  benefit to  which  a  participant
       is entitled  is  the  benefit that can  be  provided  from
       the participant's interest in his or her account.

   (e) Vesting

       Participants are immediately vested in their contributions
       plus   actual  earnings  thereon  and  qualified  employer
       matching contributions.  Profit sharing contributions vest
       over a period of five years.

1. Description of the Plan - Continued

   (f) Loans

       Under provisions of the Plan, participants may borrow up to
       50%  of their  total account balance up  to  a  maximum  of
       $50,000.  Loan  repayments are made in  equal  installments
       through  payroll deductions generally over  a term  not  to
       exceed  five  years.  All loans are considered  a  directed
       investment from  the participant's Plan  account  with  all
       payments  of  principal  and  interest  credited   to   the
       participant's account.  A maximum number of two outstanding
       loans are  allowed  per individual.  The  minimum  loan  is
       $1,000 and requires a $75 set-up fee payable for each loan.
       The interest rate is determined based on the prime rate  as
       determined by the Plan's trustee plus 2%, as determined  by
       the Plan's trustee.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   (a) Basis of Accounting

       The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on
       the  modified cash basis of accounting and present  the net
       assets  available  for  benefits and changes  in  those net
       assets.   Consequently, certain additions  and the  related
       assets  are  recognized  when  received  rather  than  when
       earned  and  certain  deductions  are  recognized when paid
       rather than when  the  obligation is incurred.  Investments
       are  adjusted  to  fair  value  for   presentation  in  the
       accompanying financial  statements. Purchases and sales are
       recorded on a  trade-date  basis.  The  modified cash basis
       of  accounting  is  a  comprehensive  basis  of  accounting
       other  than accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in
       the  United  States  of America.

   (b) Use of Estimates

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity  with
       the  modified  cash  basis  of  accounting,  which   is   a
       comprehensive  basis of accounting  other  than  accounting
       principles generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of
       America, requires management to make estimates that  affect
       the  amounts  reported  in  the  financial  statements  and
       accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those
       estimates.

   (c) Investments

       Investments  in  registered  investment companies are valued
       at  published  market  prices, which represent the net asset
       value of the shares held by  the Plan at year-end.  Units of
       common  collective trusts are valued based on the fair value
       of  the underlying assets of the trust as determined by  the
       trust sponsor.  Common  stock is valued at the quoted market
       price on  the  last  business day of the year.  Money market
       funds  are   valued  at  cost,  which  approximates   market
       value.  Participant   loans   are   valued  at  cost,  which
       approximates fair value.

   (d) Benefits paid to Participants

       Benefits  paid  to participants are  recorded as a reduction
       of net assets available for benefits when paid.

   the  available investment funds.  Provisions of the plan allow
   participant contributions in 5% increments to be vested in any
   of the available funds.

4. Plan Termination

   Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it
   has the  right under the plan to discontinue its contributions
   at  any  time  and  to  terminate  the  Plan  subject  to  the
   provisions of ERISA.

5. Tax Status of Plan

   The  Plan has  obtained its latest determination letter  dated
   September  27,  2002  in  which the Internal  Revenue  Service
   stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with
   the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  The
   plan administrator and the Plan's management believe that  the
   Plan is  currently  being operated within the  applicable  IRS
   rules and regulations.
