7. STOCK REPURCHASE

In July 1999, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock from time to time at prevailing market prices. The
authorization was effective until July 2000. During fiscal 2000 the Company repurchased 33,100 shares of Common Stock under the repurchase program at a cost of $218,000. The Company has not
extended the authorization of the stock repurchase program.

8. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Restated)

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities,
measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge
accounting. The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will adopt SFAS
No. 133 in its fiscal 2002 first quarter.

In
December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which
provides guidance related to revenue recognition based on interpretations and practices followed by the SEC and was effective the first fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1999 and requires companies to report any changes in revenue recognition as a cumulative change in accounting principal at the time of implementation in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion 20, Accounting Changes. Subsequently, SAB No. 101A and 101B were issued to delay the implementation of SAB No. 101

9. RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESULTSCHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

After evaluation of the Company's revenue recognition policies compared to the guidance in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 101B ("SAB No. 101") the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue from mobile file storage equipment. Adoption of the change in accounting, in the third quarter of
fiscal year 2001, resulted in revenue being recorded only after installation of the equipment on customer premises rather than upon shipment, thus postponing revenue recognition by an average of two
months. The change in accounting necessitated the restatement of the first and second quarter 10 Q filings to properly reflect the beginning of the year recording of the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Restated)

This report, including without limitation the following section regarding Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, regarding the Company and its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks,"
"foreseeable," "estimates," and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Additionally, statements concerning future matters such as the
development of new products, enhancements or technologies, possible changes in legislation and other statements regarding matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements.

Although
forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of the Company's management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known
by the Company. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed
in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include without limitation those discussed in "Business Environment and Risk
Factors" as well as those discussed elsewhere in this report. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Readers
are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this report, which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect the Company's
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The
following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

Financial Condition (Restated)

At November 30, 2000, the Company had cash and short-term investments of $7.1 million, a decrease of $3.8 million from the
$10.9 million at May 31, 2000. The Company's working capital position at November 30, 2000 was $28.4 million as compared with $32.2 million at May 31, 2000.
The current ratio of 2.5 at November 30, 2000 was lower than the current ratio of 2.7 reported for May 31, 2000. The
decrease in cash and working capital are the result of operational losses, the payment of liabilities assumed as a result of the Docucon asset acquisition, which closed on May 25, 2000, and the
payment of compensation accrued in the prior year. Offsetting the decrease in cash was an accounts receivable decrease of $3.2 million from $29.7 million on May 31, 2000 to
$26.5 million on November 30, 2000 and a decrease in inventories to $6.7 million at November 30, 2000 as compared to $6.8 million at May 31, 2000.

Pursuant
to the Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets (the "Agreement"), by and between the Company and Bell & Howell Document Management Products Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Bell & Howell Company ("Bell & Howell"), the Company sold its Field Service Group to Bell & Howell. The Company's Field Service Group consisted of assets that
include existing service contracts and certain related tangible and intangible assets and certain liabilities. The price of the Purchased Assets, as defined in the Agreement, consisted of an initial
cash payment from Bell & Howell to the Company of $11,200,000, the assumption of liabilities and obligations of the Company valued at an estimated $4,300,000 and up to an additional $3,500,000
payable to the Company subject to certain adjustments for changes in certain accounts attributable to the Field Service Group. The sale was effective as of June 1, 1999. In connection with the
sale the Company recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $13.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000.

12

---

On June 22, 1999, the Company announced the consolidation of its paper manufacturing operations to its main plant located in Mayville, Wisconsin. The Company closed its paper
manufacturing facility located in Turlock, California and transferred the inventory and equipment to Mayville. As a result of the consolidation, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of
approximately $435,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000.

Current
liabilities decreased $0.5 million from $19.0 million at May 31, 2000 to $18.5 million at November 30, 2000. The decrease is primarily
related to the payment of liabilities assumed as a result of the Docucon asset acquisition.

Investments
in property, plant and equipment, which were primarily focused on company-wide management information systems and associated infrastructure investments, were
$0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months and six months ended November 30, 2000. Capital expenditures to support operations for fiscal 2001 are expected to total
approximately $1.0 million.

In
July 1999, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock from time to time at prevailing market prices. The authorization was effective until
July 2000. During fiscal
2000 the Company repurchased 33,100 shares of Common Stock under the repurchase program at a cost of $218,000. The Company has not extended the authorization of the stock repurchase program.

For
the six-month period ended November 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company paid cash dividends of $516,000 and $511,000, respectively.

The
Company currently has no outstanding debt. The Company has entered into a new $5 million secured line of credit with a bank. The line of credit contains covenants related
to cash flow and tangible net worth that the Company must maintain. The Company believes that its cash and borrowing capacity will provide sufficient working capital for the next twelve months.

The
Company has completed the definitive agreement for the sale of unutilized property and a building for $2.9 million. The Company is in the process of preparing closing
documents at this time. Closing is projected for late January 2001.

After
evaluation of the Company's revenue recognition policies compared to the guidance in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101B ("SAB
No. 101") the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue from mobile file storage equipment. Adoption of the change in accounting, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2001, resulted
in revenue being recorded only after installation of the equipment on customer premises rather than upon shipment, thus postponing revenue recognition by an average of two months. The change in
accounting necessitated the restatement of the first and second quarter 10Q filings to properly reflect the beginning of the year recording of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle.

Revenuesfor the second quarter of fiscal 2001 amounted to $30.0 million, down $1.2 million or 3.8% from the
$31.2 million revenue reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Revenues for the six months ended November 30, 2000 were $60.2 million, down $3.0 million or 4.7% from
revenues of $63.2 million reported in the first six months of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced lower U.S. sales of file storage equipment, professional services and technology
products partially offset by increases in revenues from filing supplies and imaging services. Revenues for TAB's Canadian operations increased.

BacklogThe Company's order booking to invoicing ratio ("book-to-bill ratio") was 1:10:1.0 for
the second quarter of fiscal 2001, resulting in a small increase in backlog. The ratio was .94:1.0 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 and .98:1.0 in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. There can be no
assurance that the Company's book-to-bill ratio will continue to improve.

Cost of Revenue, as a percentage of revenues, was 62.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to the 59.5% cost of revenue
reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Cost of revenues

13

---

for the second quarter of fiscal year 2001 was the same as the previous year quarter at $18.6 million. For the six months ended November 30, 2000 cost of revenues was 63.2% as compared
to 59.8% cost of revenue in the first six months of the prior fiscal year. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to fixed costs not decreasing as sales volume
decreased.

Operating Expenseswere $14.2 million or 47.3% of total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to
$14.8 million or 47.4% of total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. For the six months ended November 30, 2000, operating expenses were $29.4 million or 48.9% of total
revenues as compared to $28.6 million for the six-month period or 45.3% of total revenues for the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues
for the six month period ended November 30, 2000, was primarily driven by lower revenues, the one-time charge of $1.4 million due to the retirement of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, and increased rent expense for the corporate office due to the sale of the previously owned corporate office partially offset by reduced branch operating expenses and salaries.

Interest, net, and other expenses was a net expense of $128,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to $16,000 in net
income in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. For the six months ended November 30, 2000 interest, net, and other was a net expense of $15,000 as compared to $127,000 in the prior fiscal year.
The increased expense for the three and six months ended November 30, 2000 was primarily due to foreign exchange losses and lower interest earned on the cash balances. There was no debt related
interest charge in the six months ended November 30, 2000. Fiscal 2000 contained higher cash balances due to proceeds from the sale of the Field Service Group.

Income Tax BenefitNet losses for the six months ended November 30, 2000 have been reduced by the amount of tax
refunds available from the carryback of net operating losses to prior years. The effective rate of 38.0% for the six-month period ended November 30, 2000 is lower than the effective
rate of 42.2% for the prior fiscal year due to limitation on carrybacks by certain states.

Net Loss Per Sharefor the three months ended November 30, 2000 was $0.34 for both basic and diluted shares compared to a loss
per share of $0.24 for both basic and diluted shares for the three months ended November 30, 1999. The net loss per share for the six months ended November 30, 2000 was $.94 for both
basic and diluted shares compared to earnings per share of $1.19 for both basic and diluted shares for the prior year comparable period.

Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting PrincipleAdoption of a change in accounting for the recognition of revenue
related to mobile filing systems necessitated a cumulative effect adjustment of $.3 million as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2001.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This
statement requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives
would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material
impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 in its fiscal 2002 first quarter.

In
December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which
provides guidance related to revenue recognition based on interpretations and practices followed by the SEC and was effective the first fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1999 and requires companies to report any changes in revenue recognition as a cumulative change in accounting principal at the time of

implementation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 20, Accounting Changes. Subsequently, SAB No. 101A and 101B were issued to delay the implementation of SAB No. 101.

Restatement of Financial ResultsChange in Accounting Principle

After evaluation of the Company's revenue recognition policies compared to the guidance in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 101B ("SAB No. 101") the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue from mobile file storage equipment. Adoption of the change in accounting, in the third quarter of
fiscal year 2001, resulted in revenue being recorded only after installation of the equipment on customer premises rather than upon shipment, thus postponing revenue recognition by an average of two
months. The change in accounting necessitated the restatement of the first and second quarter 10Q filings to properly reflect the beginning of the year recording of the cumulative effect on prior
years (to May 31, 2000) of a change in accounting principle.

Business Environment And Risk Factors

The Company's future operating results may be affected by various trends and factors, which the Company must successfully manage in order to achieve favorable
operating results. In addition, there are trends and factors beyond the Company's control, which affect its operations. Such trends and factors include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in
general economic conditions or conditions in the specific markets for the Company's products, governmental regulation, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and other factors, including those listed
below.



The Company reaches its North American customers through a broad distribution system, which currently includes 24 sales branches in the U.S. and Canada
employing approximately 120 account managers who primarily call on large companies and government agencies. The Company currently also has approximately 100 U.S. and Canadian independent Channel
Partners who primarily serve medium and smaller size firms. Additional Channel Partners may be appointed in the future. The Company also maintains a call center to receive orders by telephone and
intends to expand the call center operation to include outbound solicitation of orders. There can be no assurance that the Company's distribution system will obtain sufficient orders to return the
Company to profitability.



The Company's future performance may depend in significant part upon attracting and retaining key senior management, sales, manufacturing, marketing and
technical support personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and the inability to retain its current key personnel or to attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified personnel in the
future on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.



Factors affecting the Company's operating results and gross margins include the volume of product sales, competitive pricing pressures, the ability of the
Company to match supply with demand, changes in product and customer mix, market acceptance of new or enhanced versions of the Company's
products and services, changes in the channels through which the Company's products and services are distributed, timing of new product announcements and introductions by the Company and its
competitors, fluctuations in product costs, variations in manufacturing cycle times, fluctuations in manufacturing utilization, the ability of the Company to achieve manufacturing volumes with its new
and existing products, increased research and development expenses, exchange rate fluctuations, a change in the Company's effective tax rate and changes in general economic conditions. All of these

15

---

factors are difficult to forecast and these or other factors can materially affect the Company's quarterly or annual operating results.



The Company expects competition to increase in the future from existing competitors and from other companies that may enter the Company's existing or future
markets with similar or alternative document management solutions that may be less costly or provide additional features. Such competition could result in lost sales and in lower operating results, if
the Company's average selling prices decrease faster than its costs.



The Company's Professional Services business requires submitting bids to customers based on estimates of the time and expense needed to meet various project
specifications and deadlines. Failure to estimate accurately and execute within proper estimates has had a negative impact on our gross margins and may continue to do so. Management is developing
improved cost controls and management oversight to produce better estimates and project execution. There can be no assurance that these improvements will be successful.



The Company purchases several critical components from single or sole source vendors for which alternative sources are not currently developed. Development of
alternative suppliers would require a significant amount of time to qualify in the case of certain of the Company's components. The Company does not maintain long-term supply agreements
with any of these vendors. The inability to develop alternative sources for these single or sole source components or to obtain sufficient quantities
of these components could result in delays or reductions in product shipments, which could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.



There can be no assurance that the Company's manufacturing facilities will achieve or maintain acceptable manufacturing volumes in the future. The inability of
the Company to achieve planned volumes from its manufacturing facilities could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Any problems experienced
by the Company in its current or future transitions to new processes and products or the consolidation of its manufacturing operations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.



Recent market research indicates there may be an accelerated move to digital technologies, such as imaging, by large paper intensive organizations. This trend
could result in a weakening of demand for the Company's paper-based records management supplies and records storage products. Failure of the Company to match the changing market with new document
management products and services in the digital arena could materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.



The backlog of orders has historically not been a significant factor in understanding the business of the Company because the
order-to-revenue cycle was typically completed within 30 to 60 days from receipt of an order. In recent periods, however, the orders obtained by the Company have
included a

16

---

higher percentage of larger projects with a longer order-to-revenue cycle. Revenue from product sales is generally recognized upon product shipment. Professional service
projects, some of which include product sales, tend to have a longer order-to-revenue cycle. The Company's working capital needs have increased to support the consequently
longer order-to-collection cycle. The Company is currently attempting to achieve a more favorable mix of orders of varying sizes and types. There can be no assurance that these
efforts will be successful.

The
Company's order booking to invoicing ratio ("book-to-bill ratio") was 1:10:1.0 for the second quarter of fiscal 2001, resulting in a small increase in
backlog. The ratio was .94:1.0 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 and .98:1.0 in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. There can be no assurance that the Company's book-to-bill
ratio will continue to improve.



Government revenues primarily expose the Company to risks from reductions in budget allocations to support regulation and administrative offices. The current
reinventing government initiative opens opportunities to help the government streamline workflow processes, reduce paperwork and increase customer service, which may provide short-term
opportunities for the Company. However, the long-term effect of a government initiative to streamline processes could have a negative impact on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.



The Company relies on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyright and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to protect
its intellectual property rights. The Company has been notified in the past and the Company may be notified in the future of claims that they may be infringing upon patents or other intellectual
property rights owned by third parties. There can be no assurance that in the future any patents held by the Company will not be invalidated, that patents will be issued for any of the Company's
pending applications or that any claims allowed from existing or pending patents will be of sufficient scope or strength or be issued in the primary countries where the Company's products can be sold
to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage to the Company. Additionally, competitors of the Company may be able to design around the Company's patents.



In January 1999, certain member countries of the European Union established permanent, fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies and the
European Union's common currency (the Euro). The transition period for the introduction of the Euro is scheduled to phase in over a period ending January 1, 2002, with the existing currency
being completely removed from circulation on July 1, 2002. The timing of phasing out all uses of the existing currencies will comply with the legal requirements and also be scheduled to
facilitate optimal coordination with the plans of our vendors,
distributors and customers. Work related to the introduction of the Euro and the phasing out of the other currencies includes converting information technology systems; recalculating currency risk;
and taking action, if needed, regarding continuity of contracts; and modifying our processes for preparing tax, accounting, payroll and customer records. Management believes the introduction of the
Euro and the phasing out of the other currencies will not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.



International sales accounted for approximately 24% and 21%, respectively of the Company's total revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000.
Fluctuations in currencies negatively impacted

17

the Company in its second quarter and could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations in the future. In addition, gains and losses on the conversion to
United States dollars of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities arising from international operations may contribute to fluctuations in the Company's results
of operations. Because sales of the Company's products have been denominated to date primarily in United States dollars, increases in the value of the United States dollar could increase the price of
the Company's products so that they become relatively more expensive to customers in the local currency of a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales and profitability in that country. The
Company is subject to the risks of conducting business internationally, including foreign government regulation and general geopolitical risks such as political and economic instability, potential
hostilities and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships. Manufacturing and sales of the Company's products may also be materially adversely affected by factors such as unexpected changes in, or
imposition of, regulatory requirements, tariffs, import and export restrictions and other barriers and restrictions, longer payment cycles, greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection,
potentially adverse tax consequences, the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws and other factors beyond the Company's control. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries in
which the Company's products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold, may not protect the Company's intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States and thus
make piracy of the Company's products a more likely possibility. There can be no assurance that these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations.



The Company increased its expense levels in fiscal 1999 and 2000 to support planned growth. In fiscal 2001 the Company will be focusing on reducing costs since
growth has not materialized as planned. If
the cost reduction measures do not align with the current revenue levels, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS

The Company is exposed to market risk related to fluctuations in interest rates and in foreign currency exchange rates.

The
Company's exposure to market risk due to fluctuations in interest rates relates primarily to its short-term investment portfolio, which consists of corporate debt
securities, which are classified as available-for-sale and were reported at an aggregate fair value of $4.5 million as of November 30, 2000. These
available-for-sale securities are subject to interest rate risk in as much as their fair value will fall, if market interest rates increase. If market interest rates were to
increase immediately and uniformly by 10% from the levels prevailing at May 31, 2000, the fair value of the portfolio would not decline by a material amount. The Company does not use derivative
financial instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in these securities. However, the Company does attempt to reduce such risks by typically limiting the maturity date of such securities to no more
than nine months, placing its investments with high credit quality issuers and limiting the amount of credit exposure with any one issuer. In addition, the Company believes that it currently has the
ability to hold these investments until maturity, and therefore, believes that reductions in the value of such securities attributable to short-term fluctuations in interest rates would
not materially affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

The
Company's exposure to market risk due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to the intercompany balance with its European subsidiary. Although the
Company transacts business with various foreign countries, settlement amounts are usually based on local currency. Transaction gains or losses have not been significant in the past and there is no
hedging activity on Netherlands Guilders or other currencies. Based on the intercompany balance of

18

---

$0.1 million at November 30, 2000, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in Netherlands Guilders against U.S. dollars would not result in a material foreign exchange loss. Consequently, the
Company does not expect that reductions in the value of such intercompany balances or of other accounts denominated in foreign currencies resulting from even a sudden or significant fluctuation in
foreign exchange rates, would have a direct material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Notwithstanding
the foregoing analysis of the direct effects of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the value of certain of the Company's investments and
accounts, the indirect effects of such fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, international demand for
the Company's products could be affected by foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, interest rate fluctuations may affect the buying patterns of the Company's customers. Furthermore, interest
rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations have broad influence on the general condition of the U.S., foreign and global economies, which could materially and adversely affect the Company.
