INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the opinion of management, the Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company include all adjustments, consisting of any normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of November 30, 1997 , and its results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 1997 and 1996. Results of the Company's operations for the interim period ended November 30, 1997, may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes of the Company and its subsidiaries, included in the Company's Form 10-K (the "Company's Form 10-K") for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1997, ("Fiscal 1997") File Number 0-26774. Accounting policies used in the preparation of the Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Form 10-K. 3. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally on a first-in, first-out basis) or market and include material, labor, and factory overhead. Inventory consisted of the following: November 30, August 31, 1997 1997 ---- ---- Finished Goods $4,228,689 $3,915,325 Raw Materials 3,906,170 3,493,589 Supplies 570,093 455,738 Work-in-process 32,197 25,297 -------------------- ----------------- Total Inventories $8,737,149 $7,889,949 ==================== ================= 5 8 4.

SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Three Months Ended November 30, 1997 1996 ---- ---- Cash paid during the period for: Interest $112,799 $51,778 Income taxes $18,764 $8,000 6. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE The FASB has issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which will require the Company to change its 6 9 method of calculating earnings per share ("EPS"). SFAS No.128 simplifies the computation of EPS by replacing the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Options, warrants, and other potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of basic EPS. Diluted EPS, which has not changed significantly from the current calculation of fully diluted EPS, includes the options, warrants and other potentially dilutive securities that are excluded from basic EPS. In accordance with the provision of SFAS No. 128, the Company will adopt this new standard for its reporting periods subsequent to December 15, 1997. ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS HISTORICAL From 1978 to 1991, the Company owned a majority interest in Origami, Inc. ("Origami"), a wholesaler of business consumables. In 1989, the Company and Origami executed a loan agreement with a secured lender which was cross-collateralized by the assets of both the Company and Origami as security for revolving loans to each. Origami filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United Sates Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in June 1991. Such Chapter 11 proceeding was converted to a liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in August 1991. The liquidation of Origami resulted in a $3 million shortfall to the Company's lender and an uncollected $5.5 million receivable from Origami to the Company. The deficiency on the Origami portion of the loans was added to the Company's borrowing base with such lender, and the resulting losses on a combined basis far outweighed the borrowing base which the Company's collateral could support. On November 10, 1992, the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, primarily as a result of the Company's inability to renegotiate its line of credit agreement with its lender and to settle disputes regarding amounts owed to the lender under the Company's guarantee of the indebtedness of Origami to the lender. In April 1993, the Company's Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan of Reorganization") was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court. The Company has completed payment of substantially all of its prepetition obligations under the Plan of Reorganization. The Company has been operating in conformity with and meeting the remaining payment terms of the Plan of Reorganization. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE INTERIM PERIODS ENDING NOVEMBER 30, 1997, AND 1996. Net Sales---Net sales for the three months ended November 30, 1997, decreased $1.0 million, or 11.5%, to $7.8 million as compared to $8.8 million in the corresponding period of the prior year as a result of increased competition in the market for suppliers of continuous forms while the industry reacts to the changing business consumable requirements of new technology. In addition, depressed market conditions have resulted in decreased selling prices and reduced sales volume of some of the Company's products. Management believes that the decline in net sales may reverse significantly as the Company begins manufacturing and distributing the new brands and types of products the Company intends to manufacture in Fiscal 1998. However, there can be no assurance sales will increase, or if increased, such sales will result in significant impact on the Company's profitability. Gross Profit---Gross profit for the three months ended November 30, 1997, decreased $154,000, or 12.4%, to $1.1 million, as compared to $1.2 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. The decreased gross profit was primarily the result of an increase of manufacturing expenses as a percentage of net sales as the Company shifts its manufacturing activities from producing continuous forms to the manufacture of batch cut sheet products, in addition to increased costs associated with the introduction of new brands. The 7 10 Company's gross profit margin was 14.0% for the three month period ended November 30, 1997, as compared to 14.1% for the corresponding period of the prior year. Management believes gross profit margins will increase in the year ending August 31, 1998 ("Fiscal 1998"), as the Company's sales shift from lower margin continuous forms and uncoated cut sheet paper products to higher margin technical imaging products. However, there can be no assurance gross profit margins will increase, or if increased, such sales of higher margin products will result in a significant impact on the Company's profitability. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses- SG&A expenses for the three months ended November 30, 1997, were $1.3 million, or 16.3% of net sales, as compared to $1.1 million, or 12.4% of net sales, for the corresponding period of the prior year because fixed costs were spread over a lower sales base. SG&A expenses slightly increased as a dollar amount during this period, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due to expansion of Company operations and costs associated with implementing the sale of new brands and types of products. Interest Expense---Interest expense increased by $61,000, or approximately 118.0%, to $113,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1997, from $52,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to the Company increasing its borrowings under its revolving line of credit. Income (Loss) Before Taxes---Income (loss) before taxes for the three months ended November 30, 1997, was $(265,000) as compared to $125,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, a decrease of $389,000, or 312.2%. This decrease was attributable to the factors previously discussed. Income Taxes---The Company recognized an income tax benefit for the three months ended November 30, 1997 of $(82,261), as compared to $45,300 for the corresponding period of the prior year. The benefit recorded resulted primarily from losses incurred by the Company for the three months ended November 30, 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash used in operating activities was $1.2 million for the three months ended November 30, 1997, as compared with $278,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in the Company's net cash used in operations related substantially to a loss for the period ended November 30, 1997, as compared to a profit from the corresponding period of the prior year. In addition, net cash used in operations was impacted by increases in inventory as the Company expanded its inventory to manufacture the new brands and types of products the Company began producing in Fiscal 1998; as well as accounts receivable which reflected increased sales in the three months ended November 30, 1997, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 1997. Net cash provided by investing activities was $824,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1997, as compared with $356,000 used in investing activities for the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in the Company's net cash provided by investing activities primarily related to the sale of the Company's investment in the common stock of an unrelated publicly traded company which had been held for investment purposes. Net cash used in financing activities was $1.2 million for the three months ended November 30, 1997, compared with $668,000 used in financing activities for the corresponding period of the prior year. Net cash used in financing activities increased primarily due to the pay down of the Company's line of credit. 8 11 Working capital decreased to $9.7 million at November 30, 1997, from $9.9 million at August 31, 1997, a decrease of 2.0%, primarily attributable to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. In May 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank for a one year, secured, revolving line of credit, which is secured by, among other things, inventory, trade receivables, equipment and a personal guarantee of Mr. Sorokwasz, Chairman of the Board, President of the Company, and trustee of a trust which is the single largest shareholder of the Company. Available borrowings under this line of credit, which accrues interest at the prime rate of interest plus 1% (9.50% at November 30, 1997), are based upon specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. As of November 30, 1997, there was a $3.4 million borrowing capacity remaining under the $5 million revolving line of credit. The revolving credit line, which matured in May 1997, has been automatically renewed under identical terms until May 1998. In February 1998, the Company intends to solicit bids from its current and other financial institutions in order to negotiate the most favorable terms on its revolving credit facility. Prior borrowings by the Company have been personally guaranteed by the Company's President, Marshall Sorokwasz. There can be no assurance that, if required, Mr. Sorokwasz would personally guarantee any renewals with the current lender or other financial institutions. The Company believes that the funds available under the revolving credit line facility, assuming it is renewed or replaced, cash and cash equivalents, trade credit, and internally generated funds will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. Such belief is based on certain assumptions, including the continuation of current operations of the Company and no extraordinary adverse events, and there can be no assurance that such assumptions are correct. In addition, expansion of Company operations due to demand for the new types and brands of products manufactured by the Company in Fiscal 1998, may require the Company to obtain additional capital to pursue an acquisition or for the addition of new manufacturing facilities. If that should occur, the funds required for the potential acquisition or new facilities would be generated through additional security offerings or additional debt. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available if needed, or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. NEW PRODUCTS In January 1998, the Company expects delivery of a state-of-the-art sheeting and packaging system it designed with the manufacturer to batch sheet and package products with special surfaces including transparency film, glossy papers such as digital photo paper, and T-shirt transfers. These products require machines that do not scratch or mar the surface of the product during the conversion and packaging process. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1997, and the first quarter of Fiscal 1998, the Company has been constructing a special clean room at the Texas facility to house the special surface cut sheet manufacturing operation. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT The Company believes that it is necessary to maintain a large inventory of finished goods and raw materials to adequately service its customers. As a result of the Company manufacturing and distributing new brands and types of products, its raw material and finished goods inventory requirements have increased, therefore the Company has substantially increased its inventory levels. 9 12 The Company bears the risk of increases in the prices charged by its suppliers, and decreases in the prices of raw materials held in its inventory or covered by purchase commitments. If prices for products held in the finished goods inventory of the Company decline or if prices for raw materials required by the Company decline, or if new technology is developed that renders obsolete products distributed by the Company and held in inventory, the Company's business could be materially adversely affected. MARKET CONDITIONS During the Company's second and third quarters in Fiscal 1997, demand for the products manufactured by the Company declined at a rapid pace. As a result, the Company had to lower its selling prices on products to customers which resulted in decreased gross profit and net income for Fiscal 1997, as compared to the year ended August 31,1996. At the end of the third quarter in Fiscal 1997, prices for those products stabilized and remained stable throughout the fourth quarter and into the first quarter of Fiscal 1998. Management believes that product selling prices will remain constant in the first and second quarters of calendar 1998, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be profitable. SEASONALITY The Company may be subject to certain seasonal fluctuations in that orders for products may decline in summer months. However, the Company does not believe that such fluctuations have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. INFLATION Inflation is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's business. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and the Results of Operations, and other sections of this Form 10-Q contain "forward-looking statements" about the Company's prospects for the future, such as its ability to generate sufficient working capital, its ability to renew or replace its revolving credit facility, its ability to continue to maintain sales to justify capital expenses, and its ability to generate additional sales to meet business expansion and future market conditions. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including availability of raw materials, availability of thermal facsimile, computer, laser and color ink jet paper, to the cyclical nature of the industry in which the Company operates, the potential of technological changes which would adversely affect the need for the Company's products, and price fluctuations which could adversely impact the large inventory required in the Company's business. Parties are cautioned not to rely on any such forward-looking beliefs or judgments in making investment decisions. 10 13 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6: Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K EXHIBIT NO.
