             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
                    (000's omitted, except per share data)

                                 May 31, 2000
                                 ------------

1. In the opinion of management, the foregoing unaudited condensed consolidated
   financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to
   present fairly the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2000.

2. The results for the three month periods ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, are not
   necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year.

3. For the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, basic earnings per common
   share are calculated by dividing net earnings applicable to common stock by
   the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted
   earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net earnings applicable
   to common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
   outstanding and common stock equivalents which consist of stock options and
   warrants and convertible preferred stock.

4. The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach in accounting for income
   taxes that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
   for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized
   in the Company's financial statements or tax return.  In estimating future
   tax consequences, consideration is given to all expected future events other
   than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates.

5. On February 28, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a strategy
   decision to discontinue the operations comprising its Company owned
   franchises.  The Company owned franchises included the 100% owned franchises
   in Delray Beach, Florida and Merrimack, New Hampshire and the 70% owned
   franchise in Louisville, Kentucky.  The Company sold the Delray Beach,
   Florida and Louisville, Kentucky franchises in fiscal 2000.

   Net assets of the Merrimack, New Hampshire franchise of $248 are included in
   assets held for sale in the May 31, 2000 condensed consolidated balance
   sheet. Sales from Company owned franchise discontinued operations were $157
   and $800 for the three months ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
   Management intends to sell the Merrimack, New Hampshire franchise in fiscal
   2001; however, no assurances can be made that a sale will be consummated.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 ---------------------------------------------

Results of Operations
---------------------

Total revenues increased $139,000 or 3% for the first quarter ended May 31,
2000, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.  The
increase in revenue is attributable to increases in paper and printing sales
($52,000 or 1%), royalties ($14,000 or 1%), revenue from Franchise Sales
($15,000 or 100%) and other revenue ($58,000 or 91%).  Sales of the franchise
network were 3.2% greater than the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The
royalty revenue increase does not reflect the franchise network sales increase
because the Company ceased accruing royalty revenue from two troubled franchises
in July 1999.  The paper and printing sales increase did not keep pace with the
franchise network sales increase as catalog sales decreased $57,000 or 40%
during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to the same period in the
prior year.  Other revenues increased as the Company earned $43,000 in licensing
fees for Orderprinting.com(TM), an Internet based ordering application which was
introduced in January 1999.  Licensing fees associated with this application
were negligible in the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Selling and administrative expenses represented 24% and 20% of gross revenues
for the quarters ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  These expenses
increased as a result of an increase in general and administrative expense of
$15,000 combined with an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $138,000
and an increase in bad debt expense of $32,000.  Salaries and employee benefits
increased due to the addition of new positions to manage franchise operations,
national account relationships and to provide additional support or users for
Orderprinting.com(TM).

Income from continued operations decreased $176,000 or 26%. Net income decreased
$148,000 or 23% due to the increase in selling, general and administrative
expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Cash resources decreased $518,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2001.  The
Company used $445,000 from continued operations.  The Company utilized working
capital to make debt payments totaling $29,000, paid accrued liabilities and
accounts payable of $722,000 and invested $253,000 for additional inventory in
anticipation of price increases by paper mills.

The Company plans to continue to improve its working capital and cash positions
during fiscal 2000 by continuing its efforts to (i) increase cash collections;
and (ii) marketing to new customer channels by its franchise network through the
use of Orderprinting.com(TM), a proprietary internet based ordering system,
while containing capital expenditures and maintaining inventory levels.

The Company believes current reserves and internally generated funds will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that
external financing will not be needed.  The Company has available a $2 million
line of credit with a bank.  No advances have been made on the line.

Certain information contained in this report, particularly information regarding
future economic performance and finances, plans and objectives of management,
constitutes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal
securities laws.  In some cases, information regarding certain important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking
statement appear together with such statement.  In addition, the following
factors, in addition to other possible factors not listed, could affect the
Company's actual results and cause such results to differ materially from those
expressed in forward-looking statements.  These factors include competition
within the wholesale printing industry, which is intense; changes in general
economic conditions; technological changes; changes in customer tastes; legal
claims; the continued ability of the Company and its franchisees to obtain
suitable locations and financing for new Franchises as well as expansion of
existing Franchises; governmental initiatives, in particular those relating to
franchise regulation and taxation; and risk factors detailed from time to time
in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
