NOTE 3. INVESTMENT IN AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES

As of August 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $7.5 million in corporate
debt and marketable equity securities with contractual maturity dates of up to
one year. Market values approximated carrying values. Accordingly, no unrealized
gains or losses were recorded at August 31, 1999.

The Company has a diverse portfolio of investment in debt and marketable equity
securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of the
securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of
such classifications at each balance sheet date. At August 31, 1999, management
has determined that all securities should be classified as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, and unrealized holding
gains and losses, net of the related deferred tax effect, are reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity.

Premiums and discounts on investments in debt securities are amortized over the
contractual lives of those securities. The method of amortization results in a
constant effective yield on those securities (the interest method). Interest on
debt securities is recognized in income when declared. Realized gains and
losses, including losses from declines in value of specific securities
determined by management to be other-than-temporary, are included in income.
Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of the specific
identification of the securities sold.

ITEM 2

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

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
our Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in this report.
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform act of 1995. The statements contained in
this report that are not historical in nature, particularly those that utilize
terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "anticipates,"
"estimates," "believes" or "plans," or comparable terminology, are
forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions.

     Various risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. These
risks and uncertainties include those related to the failure to successfully
develop and market Internet output solutions, our ability to grow through
acquisitions, the impact of competition from other companies and
technologies, the continued development and growth of the Internet, the
continued demand for printed financial documents, our ability to develop or
respond to new technologies, our ability to maintain our strategic
relationships and the other factors set forth in our periodic reports and
other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

BACKGROUND

     We are a leading worldwide provider of enterprise output solutions that
enable organizations to electronically transmit and output information across
distributed computing environments. Our products consist of connectivity and
output enhancement solutions that work with many operating systems and
protocols.

     Our network connectivity products include print server firmware and
hardware products and a software-only solution. These products enable an
organization to distribute and output information across distributed computing
environments. Our current Internet connectivity product, PrintraNet-TM-, is a
software and firmware solution that enables a user at one location to print to
another location over the Internet. PrintraNet-TM- offers a number of
advantages, including lower cost and higher quality than fax transmissions, and
eliminates software compatibility issues associated with e-mail.

     Our output enhancement products include software, firmware, hardware and
imaging supplies that enable standard laser printers to print MICR lines
(magnetic ink characters used on checks and other financial documents),
graphics, barcodes and forms. These products also enable a printer to perform
other functions not offered by most printer manufacturers such as auditing and
status checking, and provide security.

     We were originally incorporated in California in 1996 and were
reincorporated in Delaware in May 1998. We are the result of various mergers and
acquisitions involving a company originally founded in 1982 by the existing
shareholders. In October 1998, we acquired Troy XCD, a leading supplier of
connectivity solutions. In May 1999, we acquired Troy Telgate, a Canadian
software development company.

OVERVIEW

     Net sales are generated from the sale of our connectivity and output
enhancement products and services. We recognize revenue from the sale of our
products when the goods are shipped to the customer and we recognize service
revenue over the period of the contract on a straight-line basis. In the nine
months ended August 31, 1999 and the fiscal year ended November 30, 1998, a
reseller of our


                                       9

<PAGE>

imaging supplies, Cannon IV Inc., accounted for 10.8% and 17.1%, respectively,
of our net sales, of which we believe a significant portion was sold to a single
customer. In addition, a reseller of our laser printers and connectivity
products, Comark, Inc. also sold products to this same customer which accounted
for 15.0% and 0.0%, respectively, of our net sales for the nine months ended
August 31, 1999 and the fiscal year ended November 30, 1998. We also sell our
products directly to this significant customer. Direct sales to these resellers'
significant customer were 3.4% and 6.8% of our net sales for the nine months
ended August 31, 1999 and the fiscal year ended November 30, 1998. We do not
have a written or oral contract with Cannon IV, Comark, Inc. or their
significant customer. All sales are made through purchase orders.

     Cost of goods sold includes direct material and labor, warranty expenses,
license fees and manufacturing and service overhead. Inventories are stated at
the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Equipment is depreciated
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the equipment.
Improvements to leased property are amortized over the lesser of the life of the
lease or the life of the improvements.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs of our
sales, marketing and customer support staffs, other marketing expenses,
management and administrative personnel costs, professional services, legal and
accounting fees and administrative operating costs. We expense all of these
costs when incurred.

     Research and development expenses include costs associated with the
development of new products and significant enhancements of existing products,
and consist primarily of employee salaries, benefits and consulting expenses. We
expense research and development costs as they are incurred.

     The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain
information derived from our consolidated statements of operations expressed as
a percentage of net sales

THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31,
1998

     NET SALES. Our net sales were $17.4 million for the three months ended
August 31, 1999, with $15.1 million attributable to output enhancement products
and $2.3 million attributable to connectivity products and software. This
represented an increase in net sales of $8.0 million or 84.2% from $9.5 million
in the three months ended August 31, 1998. This increase was due primarily to an
increase of $2.3 million in sales of print server software, firmware and
hardware as a result of the Troy XCD and


                                       10

<PAGE>

Troy Telgate acquisitions, an increase of $500,000 in sales of our proprietary
imaging supplies and services and an increase of $5.4 million in sales of our
laser printers, primarily related to a sale to Comark. This increase was
offset by a $200,000 decrease in sales of our impact printers. We believe that
impact printer sales will decline in future periods because of continuing
increases in print quality and speed and continuing reductions in prices of
non-impact printers. Net sales were not significantly affected by price changes.

     COST OF GOODS SOLD. Cost of goods sold increased by $5.1 million or 90.5%
to $10.8 million in the three months ended August 31, 1999 from $5.7 million in
the three months ended August 31, 1998. This increase was primarily due to
increased net sales. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased
to 62.1% in the third quarter of 1999 from 60.1% in the third quarter of 1998.
This increase was primarily due to the sale of a significant amount of laser
printers to Comark at a reduced profit margin.

     GROSS PROFIT. As a result of the above factors, gross profit increased by
$2.8 million or 74.6% to $6.6 million in the three months ended August 31, 1999
from $3.8 million in the three months ended August 31, 1998. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 37.9% in the third quarter of 1999 from
39.9% in the third quarter of 1998. This decrease was also primarily due to the
sale of a significant amount of laser printers to Comark at a reduced
profit margin.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million or 93.9% to $3.0 million in
the three months ended August 31, 1999 from $1.5 million in the three months
ended August 31, 1998. This increase was due primarily to the additional
operating expenses of $463,000 as a result of the acquisitions of Troy XCD and
Troy Telgate, an increase of $986,000 due to increases in personnel,
amortization of intangible assets due to the acquisitions, promotions, and other
expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales increased to 17.2% in the third quarter of 1999 from 16.3% in the third
quarter of 1998, due to our acquisition strategy and our associated growth
requirements.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased by $287,000 or 45.4% to $919,000 in the three months ended August 31,
1999 from $632,000 in the three months ended August 31, 1998. Of this increase,
$304,000 was due to additional research and development expenses as a result of
the acquisitions of Troy XCD and Troy Telgate. Research and development expenses
as a percentage of net sales decreased to 5.3% in the third quarter of 1999 from
6.7% in the third quarter of 1998.

     OPERATING INCOME. As a result of the above factors, operating income
increased by $1.1 million or 67.6% to $2.7 million in the three months ended
August 31,1999 from $1.6 million in the three months ended August 31, 1998.
Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 15.4% in the third
quarter of 1999 from 16.9% in the third quarter of 1998.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $43,000 to $65,000 in the
three months ended August 31, 1999 from $22,000 in the three months ended August
31, 1998. This increase was due to increased borrowings under our line of credit
and term debt.

     INCOME TAXES. Income taxes increased to $1.1 million in the three months
ended August 31, 1999 from $24,000 in the three months ended August 31, 1998.
This increase resulted when Troy and Troy Systems terminated their S corporation
tax elections as of October 30, 1998 and were thereafter taxed as C
corporations. After giving effect to the pro forma adjustments, income taxes as
a percentage of pretax income increased to 44.0% in the third quarter of 1999
from 40.0% in the third quarter of 1998. This increase was due primarily to
additional state taxes.

NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1998

     NET SALES. Our net sales were $40.9 million for the nine months ended
August 31, 1999, with $34.2 million attributable to output enhancement products
and $6.7 million attributable to connectivity products and software. This
represented an increase in net sales of $13.1 million or 47.2% from $27.8
million in the nine months ended August 31, 1998. This increase was due
primarily to an increase of $6.7 million in sales of print server software,
firmware and hardware as a result of the Troy XCD and Troy Telgate acquisitions,
an increase of $1.4 million in sales of our proprietary imaging supplies and
services and an increase of $5.8 million in sales of our laser printers. This
increase was offset by a $1.0 million decrease in sales of our impact printers.
We believe that impact printer sales will decline in future periods because of
continuing increases in print quality and speed and continuing reductions in
prices of non-impact printers. Net sales were not significantly affected by
price changes.

     COST OF GOODS SOLD. Cost of goods sold increased by $8.6 million or 52.0%
to $25.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1999 from $16.4 million in
the nine months ended August 31, 1998. This increase was primarily due to
increased net sales. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased
to 61.1% in the nine months ended August 31, 1999 from 59.2% in the nine months
ended August 31, 1998. This increase was primarily due to the sale of a
significant amount of laser printers to Comark at a reduced profit margin.

     GROSS PROFIT. As a result of the above factors, gross profit increased
by $4.6 million or 40.1% to $15.9 million in the nine months ended August 31,
1999 from $11.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1998. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 38.9% in the nine months
ended August 31, 1999 from 40.8% in the nine months ended August 31, 1998.
This decrease was also primarily due to the sale of a significant amount of
laser printers to Comark at a reduced profit margin.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $2.1 million or 41.5% to $7.0 million in
the nine months ended August 31, 1999 from $5.0 million in the nine months ended
August 31, 1998. This increase was due primarily to the additional operating
expenses of $1.2 million as a result of the acquisitions of Troy XCD and Troy
Telgate, an increase of $900,000 due to increases in personnel, amortization of
intangible assets due to the acquisitions, promotions, and other expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased to 17.2% in the nine months ended August 31, 1999 from 17.9% in the
nine months ended August 31, 1998.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased by $801,000 or 43.1% to $2.7 million in the nine months ended August
31, 1999 from $1.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1998. Of this
increase, $712,000 was due to the additional research and development expenses
as a result of the acquisitions of Troy XCD and Troy Telgate. Research and
development expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 6.5% in the nine
months ended August 31, 1999 from 6.7% in the nine months ended August 31, 1998.

     OPERATING INCOME. As a result of the above factors, operating income
increased by $1.7 million or 37.4% to $6.2 million in the nine months ended
August 31, 1999 from $4.5 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1998.
Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 15.2% in the nine
months ended August 31, 1999 from 16.2% in the nine months ended August 31,
1998.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $136,000 to $227,000 in the
nine months ended August 31, 1999 from $91,000 in the nine months ended August
31, 1998. This increase was due to increased borrowings under our line of credit
and term debt.

     INCOME TAXES. Income taxes increased to $2.5 million in the nine months
ended August 31, 1999 from $67,000 in the nine months ended August 31, 1998.
This increase resulted when Troy and Troy Systems terminated their S corporation
tax elections as of October 30, 1998 and were thereafter taxed as C
corporations. After giving effect to the pro forma adjustments, income taxes as
a percentage of pretax income increased to 41.5% in the first nine months of
1999 from 40.0% in the first nine months of 1998.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

     Many computer systems and applications were historically designed to use
two-digit date fields to designate a year. As a result, date-sensitive computing
systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900, or not at all, which may cause
systems to incorrectly process financial and operational information.

     Our potential areas of exposure to this so-called Year 2000 problem include
our products, our own internal information technology, or "IT" systems and other
"non-IT systems" having embedded technology or software, such as manufacturing
equipment and mechanical and telephone systems. Year 2000 issues may also affect
the business and operations of our vendors, customers and other business
partners.

     STATE OF READINESS. In response to the Year 2000 problem, we are currently
reviewing all of our areas of potential exposure. The following summarizes our
progress to date:

          -    All of our current products and products under development have
               been reviewed and are believed to be Year 2000 compliant.

          -    All of our internal IT systems and non-IT systems have been
               reviewed and are believed to be Year 2000 compliant.

          -    We have evaluated the Year 2000 compliance of our material
               vendors, distributors and other significant business partners and
               believe that they have achieved or will achieve Year 2000
               compliance on a timely basis.

     COSTS. We do not separately track our internal Year 2000 costs such as
personnel time spent on Year 2000 matters, but believe that they have been
immaterial to date. Our external costs to date have been less than $50,000. This
amount includes the fees and expenses of our outside consultant and the cost of
replacing non-compliant hardware and software. We believe that additional costs
to identify and remediate potential Year 2000 problems, if any, will not be
material. We also do not expect that our Year 2000 identification and
remediation efforts will cause a significant diversion of the efforts of our
employees or management away from other duties or information technology
initiatives. We cannot assure you, however, that any further assessment will not
identify Year 2000 problems requiring significant cost or efforts to remediate
or that we will not encounter unforeseen difficulties or expense in obtaining
Year 2000 solutions.

     RISKS. Based upon our current information, we believe that our most
reasonably likely, worst case scenario as a result of the Year 2000 problem is
the risk that one or more of our significant vendors, customers or business
partners will not be Year 2000 compliant and that we fail to determine or react
to their Year 2000 problem on a timely basis. If the operations of any of our
significant vendors, customers or other business partners are disrupted due to
the Year 2000 problem, and we are unable to develop and implement an effective
contingency plan, our ability to purchase adequate supplies of raw materials,


                                       13

<PAGE>

manufacture, distribute and receive payment for our products, or to otherwise
carry on essential activities could be materially adversely impacted. Although
we have assessed the Year 2000 readiness of these third parties and believe that
they are or will be Year 2000 compliant, we cannot assure you that we have
identified all Year 2000 risks related to these partners or that we can
adequately plan around these risks.

     CONTINGENCY PLAN. To date, we have not developed any detailed contingency
plans to address the risk that our material customers, vendors and other
business partners do not become Year 2000 compliant, as we have not identified
any current, material exposure to this risk. We have also not developed any
detailed contingency plans to address any failure of our internal IT or non-IT
systems to become Year 2000 compliant. To the extent that we identify third
party or other Year 2000 compliance issues that cannot be addressed on a timely
basis, we will seek to develop appropriate contingency plans in order to
mitigate our risks.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Prior to our initial public offering in July, 1999, our primary source of
liquidity has been through cash generated from operations and borrowings under
our revolving credit facility and term loans.

     Cash flows used in operating activities were $1.2 million in the nine
months ended August 31, 1999 compared to $4.3 million provided by operating
activities in the nine months ended August 31, 1998. The cash flows used in
operating activities in the nine months ended August 31, 1999 were comparatively
greater than in the nine months ended August 31, 1998 due primarily to increases
in accounts receivable and inventories and a decrease in accrued expenses. The
receivable increase resulted primarily from higher sales in 1999. The increase
in inventories resulted primarily from increased levels to meet anticipated
sales. The decrease in accrued expenses is primarily the result of payment of an
assumed compensation liability to the employees of Troy XCD.

     Cash flows used in investing activities were $7.8 million in the nine
months ended August 31, 1999 compared to $623,000 in the nine months ended
August 31, 1998. Included in cash flows used in investing activities in the nine
months ended August 31, 1999 was $7.5 million in purchases of available-for-sale
securities following our initial public offering in July, 1999. For the balance
of the fiscal year ending November 30, 1999, we plan to spend approximately
$200,000 on additional purchases of equipment.

     Cash flows provided by financing activities were $11.6 million in the nine
months ended August 31, 1999 compared to cash flows used in financing activities
of $3.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1998, primarily as a result
of our initial public offering which closed on July 27, 1999. Through August 31,
1998, approximately $2.2 million of S corporation distributions and net
additional payments of approximately $930,000 were recorded.

     We currently have a revolving line of credit. Our revolving line of credit
had no outstanding balance as of August 31, 1999 and currently bears interest at
a rate of 8.00%. The revolving line of credit has no expiration date. Under the
line of credit, we are permitted to borrow 80% of eligible accounts receivable
and 50% of eligible inventories (up to a maximum of $2.5 million for eligible
inventories). As of August 31, 1999, the amount available under the line of
credit was approximately $4.9 million.

     We believe that cash generated by operating activities, the net proceeds
from our initial public offering and funds available under our credit facility
will be sufficient to finance our operating activities for at least the next 12
months. To the extent that the funds generated from these sources are
insufficient to finance our operating activities, we would need to raise
additional funds through public or private


                                       14

financing. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on
terms favorable to us, or at all.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values or to
future cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial
instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of
changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and
other market changes. Market risk is attributed to all market sensitive
financial instruments, including long term debt.

     We do not utilize derivative financial instruments. Accordingly, our
exposure to market risk is through our investments in available-for-sale
securities and our bank debt which bears interest at variable rates.
Available-for-sale securities consist of corporate debt and marketable equity
securities with contractual maturity dates of up to one year. At August 31,
1999, market values approximated carrying values. Due to the short-term
maturities of these securities, management believes that there is no significant
market risk. The bank debt is a revolving line of credit. All borrowings bear
interest based upon the reference rate per annum as announced by the bank (8.25%
at August 31, 1999). At August 31, 1999, there were no amounts outstanding under
the line of credit agreement and, accordingly, the sustained increase in the
reference rate of 1% would not cause our annual interest expense to change.

ITEM 2 - CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

     In May 1998, we initially filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File
No. 333-51523) with the Securities and Exchange Commission for our initial
public offering. Under this Registration Statement, as amended, we registered
the offer and sale under the federal securities laws of up to $25,875,000 in
shares of our common stock. The SEC declared our Registration Statement
effective on July 21, 1999 and the closing of our initial public offering was
held on July 27, 1999. The managing underwriters were Cruttenden Roth
Incorporated, Pennsylvania Merchant Group and H.C. Wainwright & Co., Inc.

     The aggregate offering price of the shares offered was $17,500,000. All of
the offered shares were sold and the net proceeds to Troy from the offering were
$14,997,000, after deducting the underwriting discount of $1,575,000 and the
estimated offering expenses of approximately $928,000, of which approximately
$5,000 was incurred from the effective date through August 31, 1999. All of the
expenses incurred in connection with the initial public offering were paid to
unrelated parties or entities.

     From July 27, 1999 to August 31, 1999, we have spent the net proceeds from
the offering as follows:
