                Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information  and with the  instructions  to Form  10-QSB  and  Article  10-01 of
Regulation  S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for annual
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating  results for the three months ended September 30, 2000
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended June 30, 2001. For further information,  refer to the financial statements
and  footnotes  thereto  included in the Access  Solutions  International,  Inc.
("ASI") annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2000.

2.       Legal Proceedings

On August 29, 1997, the Company filed a complaint in the United States  District
Court for the  District of Rhode  Island  against  Data/Ware  Development,  Inc.
("Data/Ware") and Eastman Kodak Company, Inc. ("Kodak") alleging infringement of
the Company's  patents.  The claim states that Data/Ware and Kodak  collectively
manufacture,  use and/or sell  equipment for recording data on optical media and
alleges that the manufacture  and sale of such equipment,  and use by purchasers
thereof,  infringes one or more of the Company's patents. The claim calls for an
order enjoining the defendants from further infringement of its patents, damages
and interest for  infringement  and  reasonable  attorney's  fees and such other
relief  that the  court  deems  proper.  The  outcome  of this  claim  cannot be
determined at this time.

3.       PaperClip Merger,  Management Agreements and Subsequent Events

ASI is  currently in  negotiations  with  PaperClip  Software,  Inc.  concerning
payment of advances ASI made to PaperClip in the amount of $2,220,722, which ASI
wrote off in June,  1998.  PaperClip is  considering  executing a $405,300  note
payable  in 36 equal  installments  to ASI over a three  year  period,  with the
balance to be conveyed to ASI in the form of shares of a new class of  PaperClip
convertible preferred stock.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations
         ---------------------------------------------------------------
Overview

ASI's sales  consist of sales of products  and  services.  Products  sold by ASI
consist of COLD  systems,  software  and  hardware  including  replacement  disk
drives,  subassemblies and miscellaneous  peripherals.  Services rendered by ASI
include  post-installation  maintenance and support. ASI recognizes revenue from
customers  upon  installation  of COLD  systems and, in the case of COLD systems
installed for evaluation, upon acceptance by such customers of the products. ASI
sells extended service  contracts on the majority of the products it sells. Such
contracts are one year in duration with payments received annually in advance of
the commencement of the contract.  ASI recognizes revenue from service contracts
on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.  The unearned portion of
the service revenue is reflected as deferred revenue.  As of September 30, 2000,
ASI had deferred revenue in the amount of $397,811.

ASI's  operating  results  have  in the  past  and may in the  future  fluctuate
significantly  depending upon a variety of factors which vary substantially over
time,  including industry conditions;  the timing of orders from customers;  the
timing  of  new  product   introductions  by  ASI  and   competitors;   customer
acceleration,  cancellation  or delay of shipments;  the length of sales cycles;
the level and timing of selling,  general and  administrative  and  research and
development  expenses;  specific  feature  needs of  customers;  and  production
delays.  A substantial  portion of ASI's quarterly  revenues is derived from the
sale of a  relatively  small number of COLD  systems,  which range in price from
approximately  $150,000 to $500,000.  As a result,  the timing of recognition of
revenue from a single product order has in the past and may in the future have a
significant  impact  on ASI's net sales and  operating  results  for  particular
financial periods.  This volatility is counter balanced by the increase in sales
of annual service contracts,  which generally accompanies an increase in systems
sales.

ASI's  primary  operating   expenses  include  selling  expenses,   general  and
administrative  expenses  and  research and  development  expenses.  General and
administrative  expenses consist  primarily of employee  compensation,  customer
support  and patent  litigation  expense  (see Note 2 of Item 1).  Research  and
development   expenses  include  compensation  paid  to  internal  research  and
development staff members and expenses incurred in connection with the retention
of  independent  research  and  development  consultants.  ASI  utilizes its own
employees for research and development functions except in certain circumstances
involving product  enhancements.  In those circumstances,  ASI regularly retains
independent  experts  to  consult  and design  new  software  modules  which are
subsequently  evaluated and tested by ASI's  internal  research and  development
staff.  Upon  successful  testing of such product  enhancements,  ASI's internal
staff integrates the new products with ASI's existing COLD systems and products.

ASI's total expenditures for research and development for Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal
1999  were  $90,343  and  $119,243,  respectively.   Fiscal  2000  research  and
development  expenses  were  substantially  reduced  from  prior  levels  due to
reductions in  depreciation  expense.  Several  assets became fully  depreciated
during FY 2000, significantly reducing net depreciation expense.

ASI has historically incurred net losses and anticipates that further net losses
will be incurred  prior to the time, if ever,  that ASI achieves  profitability.
However,  ASI has recently  taken certain steps intended to limit the occurrence


                                       8
<PAGE>


of future net losses.  Such steps include:  (i) searching for joint  development
and marketing agreements or a synergistic  acquisition  candidate which would be
expected to increase  sources of revenues at minimum cost. (ii) Critical reviews
of all procedures and costs to ensure maximum  efficiency and  effectiveness are
achieved in ASI's  operations.  While no assurance  can be given that such steps
will be  sufficient to limit  losses,  which may be incurred in the future,  ASI
believes  that such  steps,  when fully  implemented,  may enable ASI to realize
improved operating  results.  ASI does not believe that these steps have to date
or will in the future materially adversely impact ASI's revenues and earnings.

Results of Operations

The  following  discussion  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  unaudited
condensed   financial   statements   and  notes  thereto  of  Access   Solutions
International, Inc. contained elsewhere herein.

Three Months Ended  September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended  September
30, 1999

Net Sales


Net sales for the three months ended  September  30, 2000 was $216,628  compared
with  $225,961  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1999, a decrease of
$9,333 or 4%.  Product  sales were  $7,367 for the first  quarter of Fiscal 2000
compared  with  $22,040  for the first  quarter of Fiscal  1999,  a decrease  of
$14,674 or 67%.  Service  revenues were $209,261 for the first quarter of Fiscal
2000 compared with $203,921 for the first quarter of Fiscal 1999, an increase of
$5,340 or 3%.


Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes component costs,  firmware license costs,  labor,  travel
and certain  overhead  costs.  Costs of sales in the aggregate  decreased 15% to
$53,702 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $63,161 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999.

The cost of  product  sales  decreased  96% to $245 for the three  months  ended
September  30, 2000 from $5,733 for the three months ended  September  30, 1999.
The decrease in product  related cost of sales was a result of lower sales and a
greater  mix of higher  margin  peripherals  than  media.  The cost of  services
decreased by 7% to $53,457 for the three months  ended  September  30, 2000 from
$57,428  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  primarily  due to
renegotiated third-party contracts.

 General and Administrative Expenses

General and  administrative  expenses  consist of  administrative  expenses  and
technical support.  General and administrative expenses increased 68% or $59,831
to $148,039 for the three months ended  September  30, 2000 from $88,208 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to higher
personnel  costs and increased  legal fees. In FY 2000, it was  recognized  that
legal expenses  previously incurred relative to the DataWare patent infringement
lawsuit should be shared by the co-owner of the suit. Consequently, one third of
legal costs were  rebilled to Malcolm  Chace,  III,  resulting in a  significant
reduction of legal costs in Fiscal 2000. No rebilling  for previous  periods was
reported for Fiscal 2001.


                                       9
<PAGE>

ASI's Director's and Officers insurance  decreased  significantly as a result of
the Company's  renegotiations  with a different carrier,  resulting in decreased
rates of up to 28%.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development  expenses decreased by 15% or $3,134 to $18,205 for the
three  months ended  September  30, 2000 from $21,339 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. The decrease in research and  development  was primarily due
to  reduced  depreciation  for ASI as a result of the  company's  downsizing  in
Fiscal 1999.

Selling Expenses

Selling  expenses  decreased  by $5,784 or 15% to $32,533  for the three  months
ended  September 30, 2000 from $38,317 for the three months ended  September 30,
1999. The decrease was primarily the result of further  reduced  personnel costs
due to more efficient utilization of labor and reduced depreciation for ASI as a
result of the company's downsizing in Fiscal 1999.

Other Income and Expenses

Other income and expenses  consisted  of interest  expense and interest  income,
both of which had no significant change.

Net Loss

As a result of the  foregoing,  ASI's net loss  increased  to $67,332  ($.02 per
share on 3,963,940  weighted  average shares  outstanding)  for the three months
ended  September  30,  2000  from a net  loss of  $16,581  ($.005  per  share on
3,963,940  weighted  average shares  outstanding)  during the three months ended
September 30, 1999.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

ASI had a working  capital deficit of $864,938 as of September 30, 2000 compared
to a working capital deficit of $1,018,487 at September 30, 1999.

Total cash provided by operating  activities during the three-month period ended
September  30, 2000 was  $123,877,  compared  to the  three-month  period  ended
September 30, 1999 in which operating activities used a total of $414,492. ASI's
net losses were $67,332 for the three-month  period ended September 30, 2000 and
$16,581 the  three-month  period ended September 30, 1999.  Capital  provided by
operating  activities during the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 was
primarily the result of improved collection of trade receivables.

No cash was used for and provided by investing  activities  for the  three-month
period ended September 30, 2000, compared to 1999 when investing activities used
$435.

Cash  provided  by and  used  for  financing  activities  was  $77,223  for  the
three-month  period ended  September  30, 2000 and $352,359 for the  three-month
period ended September 30, 1999. Cash provided by investing  activities  derived
from an  increase  in long term  notes  payable.  The  advances,  along with the
principal,  which accrue interest at an annual rate of 19%,  convert to a demand
note at the lesser of three  years or the  completion  of the  company's  patent
litigation.

                                       10
<PAGE>

ASI has suffered  recurring  losses from  operations and has negative cash flows
from  operating  activities.  The recurring  losses and negative cash flows from
operating  activities raise substantial doubt about ASI's ability to continue as
a going  concern.  As a result,  ASI's  independent  accountants in their report
dated December 12, 2000 on the audited  financial  statements for the year ended
June 30, 2000 included an explanatory  paragraph that described  factors raising
substantial  doubt about  ASI's  ability to  continue  as a going  concern.  The
financial   statements   do  not  include  any   adjustments   relating  to  the
recoverability  of  asset  and  classifications  of  liabilities  or  any  other
adjustments  that might be necessary should ASI be unable to continue as a going
concern.


As of  September  30,  2000,  ASI had long term debt  totaling  $1,364,772  with
accrued interest of $296,057.  This amount included gross proceeds in the amount
of $650,000 from a loan to ASI in conjunction with the sale of a 30% interest in
the Company's patents for $100,000 and advances of $418,715.  The loan principal
bears  interest at a rate of 19% and  converts to a demand note at the lesser of
three years or the completion of the company's patent  litigation.  ASI believes
that funds  generated from  operations  will be sufficient to meet ASI's working
capital requirements through December,  2000. If ASI has insufficient funds from
the above noted  operations,  further  equity or debt  financing will be sought.
There  can be no  assurance  that  such  additional  funds  can be  obtained  on
acceptable  terms,  if at all. If additional  financing is not available,  ASI's
business will be materially  adversely  affected.  If ASI has insufficient funds
from the  above  noted  operations,  further  equity or debt  financing  will be
sought.  There can be no assurance that such additional funds can be obtained on
acceptable  terms,  if at all. If additional  financing is not available,  ASI's
business will be materially adversely affected.

ASI believes that its current corporate  infrastructure can support  significant
increases in sales without proportionate  increases in costs. However, there can
be no  assurances  that  sales will  increase  or that any cost  advantage  will
result.

Seasonality and Inflation

To date,  seasonality  and  inflation  have not had a  material  effect on ASI's
operations.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements  contained  in this Form  10-QSB  that are not  historical  facts are
forward-looking  statements  made pursuant to the safe harbor  provisions of the
Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995. In addition,  words such as
"believes",  "anticipates",  "expects" and similar  expressions  are intended to
identify  forward  looking  statements.  ASI cautions that a number of important
factors  could  cause  actual  results  for  Fiscal  2001 and  beyond  to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking  statements made by or on
behalf of ASI.  Such  statements  contain  a number of risks and  uncertainties,
including, but not limited to, future capital needs, variable operating results,
uncertainty of additional funding requirements, lengthy sales cycles, dependence
on  ASI's  COLD  system  product,   rapid   technological   change  and  product
development,   reliance  on  single  or  limited  sources  of  supply,   intense
competition,  recent  turnover in  management,  ASI's ability to manage  growth,
dependence on  significant  customers,  dependence on key  personnel,  and ASI's
ability to protect its intellectual  property. ASI cannot assure that it will be
able to anticipate or respond timely to changes which could adversely affect its
operating  results in one or more fiscal quarters.  Results of operations in any
past period  should not be  considered  indicative  of results to be expected in
future periods.  Fluctuations in operating results may result in fluctuations in
the price of ASI's securities.
