                                (000's omitted)

                                August 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
     August 31, 2000.

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

3.   For the three and six months ended August 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 $150 are included
     in assets held for sale in the August 31, 2000 condensed consolidated
     balance sheet. Sales from Company owned franchise discontinued operations
     were $144 and $353 for the three months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999,
     respectively, and were $301 and $1,154 for the six months ended August 31,
     2000 and 1999, respectively. In a transaction effective September 30, 2000,
     the Company tranferred the assets of the Merrimack, New Hampshire Franchise
     in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $150. The Company
     recorded an additional loss on discontinued operations of $50 for the
     period ended August 31, 2000 in anticipation of this transaction.

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


                                August 31, 2000
                                ---------------

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

Total revenues decreased $242,000, or 4.8%, for the three months ended August
31, 2000 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The
decrease in revenue is attributable primarily to decreases in (i) catalog sales
at the Company's printing facility ($186,000, or 73%), (ii) royalty revenue
($31,000, or 2.4%),(iii) sales of paper and supplies ($91,000 or 2.7%). These
decreases were offset by increases in (iv) interest income ($15,000 or 18%) and
(v) monthly fees charged to franchises for orderprinting.com ($50,000). Catalog
sales decreased in fiscal 2001 due to lower demand. During the first and second
quarter of fiscal 2000, there was a large backlog of orders for catalogs due to
the release of a new catalog design in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. This
backlog was eliminated in October 1999. Royalties decreased primarily due to the
Company's practice begun in July 1999 of providing a reserve for royalties whose
collection the Company considers to be doubtful. During the three months ended
August 31, 2000 additions to this reserve amounted to $36,000 as compared to
$24,000 in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Paper and supplies
sales decreased primarily due to holiday greeting card stock sales which
occurred in August last year, but were delayed until September this year.
Interest income increased due to additional promissory notes signed with
franchises during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Fees charged to franchises
for the use of orderprinting.com, the Company's internet based ordering system,
were increased in January 2000, which resulted in higher revenues this fiscal
year.

Total revenues decreased $103,000, or 1%, for the six months ended August 31,
2000, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The
decrease in revenue is attributable primarily to decreases in (i) catalog sales
at the Company's printing facility ($307,000, or 67%), and (ii) royalty revenue
($17,000, or .6%). These decreases were offset by increases in (iii) sales of
paper and supplies ($82,000 or 1.2%), (iv) interest income ($35,000 or 22.9%)
and (v) monthly fees charged to franchises for orderprinting.com ($93,000).

Cost of paper and printing sales as a percentage of paper and printing sales was
84% and 85%, respectively, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2000,
as compared to 81% and 82%, respectively, for the corresponding periods in
fiscal 2000. Although the percentage generally remains stable, it does fluctuate
due to periodic changes in the revenue mix. In addition, the percentage has been
impacted in fiscal 2001 by higher freight charges due to fuel surcharges and by
increases in the prices charged by paper mills for certain paper stocks.

Selling and administrative expenses represented 27% and 26% of gross revenues
for the three and six months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to 40% and 30%
for the corresponding periods in fiscal 2000. The selling and administrative
expense percentage was higher in the prior fiscal year due to an additional
$650,000 provision for bad debt, as well as severance and relocation expenses
incurred related to changes at the President and CEO position and two other key
management positions.

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

Cash resources decreased $590,000 during the six months ended August 31, 2000.
The Company used cash to make principal payments on debt of $59,000, to make
capital expenditures of $132,000 and to reduce accounts payable and accrued
liabilities $906,000.

The Company plans to continue to improve its working capital and cash positions
during fiscal 2001 by continuing its efforts to (i) increase cash collections;
and (ii) increase marketing to new customer channels through orderprinting.com,
its proprietary internet based ordering system while containing capital
expenditures and maintaining inventory levels.

The Company believes current cash 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.
