RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 1999

         NET SALES. Net sales increased 46.7% to $10,319,736 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 from $7,035,426 in the quarter ended September
30, 1999. Sales from new product lines due to the acquisition of Domtar's
specialty paper products line and the introduction of GeoFiles were the major
factors contributing to the sales increase of $3,284,310, for the second
quarter. New product sales from Domtar Specialty Paper and GeoFiles were
$793,130 and $2,614,584, respectively. Sales of core paper products were flat
and international core paper product sales were down slightly.

         GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin was $2,243,873 and $2,033,323 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Gross margin as a
percentage of gross sales decreased to 18.8% in the quarter ended September 30,
2000, from 25.0% in the same period in fiscal 2000. The lower gross margin
percentage is attributable to higher accruals for customer program costs,
warehouse set-up costs for the distribution center in Windsor, Wisconsin,
increase in freight-in expenses related to GeoFiles, amortization of license
fees, royalties on new products, higher shipping and handling costs and a
one-time air freight charge relating to a special promotion on GeoFiles.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $2,415,781 (20.2% of gross sales) during
the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $1,900,885 (23.4% of gross sales)
in the same period in fiscal 2000. The increase is primarily attributable to
sales volume related increases in commissions ($72,669), advertising and
promotion ($68,334), and customer promotional allowances ($85,239).
Additionally, audit and legal expenses increased $62,598, and depreciation and
amortization increased $87,259 between periods.

         OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income for three months ended September
30, 2000 was $40,600 compared to other income of $137,279 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. The reduction in other income during the second quarter this
year compared to last year is due to favorable settlements of amounts owed to
vendors in the second quarter ended September 30, 1999.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased to $372,956 (3.1% of gross
sales) for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $183,824 (2.3%
of net sales) during the same period in fiscal 2000. The higher interest expense
was due to an increase in borrowings from the Company's line of credit with its
bank.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2000 vs. Six Months Ended September 30, 1999

         NET SALES. Net sales increased 62.1% to $19,524,410 in the six months
ended September 30, 2000 from $12,041,790 in the six months ended September 30,
1999. The increase in sales of $7,482,620 was mainly attributable to new
products due to the acquisition of Domtar's specialty paper product line and the
introduction of the GeoFiles product line. Domtar Paper sales of $2,005,885 and
GeoFile sales of $3,255,849 account for 26.8% and 43.5% of the sales increase,
respectively. Sales of core paper products have increased $2,344,332, and
international sales are currently running behind the comparable period last year
by ($123,446).

         GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin for the six months ended September 30, 2000
was $4,828,871 compared to $3,543,318 for the six months ended September 30,
1999. Gross margin as a percentage of gross sales decreased to 21.6% in the six
months ended September 30, 2000, from 25.9% in the same period in fiscal 2000.
The lower gross margin percentage is attributable to higher accruals for
customer program costs, warehouse set-up costs for the distribution centers in
Wisconsin, increase in freight-in



                                   -2-

expenses related to GeoFiles, amortization of license fees, royalties on new
products, higher shipping and handling costs and a one time air freight charge
relating to a special promotion on GeoFiles.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $4,430,373 (19.8% of gross sales) during
the six months ended September 30, 2000 from $3,349,808 (24.5% of gross sales)
in the same period in fiscal 2000. The increase is primarily attributable to
sales volume related increases in commissions ($113,714), advertising and
promotion ($219,363), and customer promotional allowances ($407,000).
Additionally, depreciation and amortization increased $101,658 between periods.

         OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income for the six months ended September
30, 2000 amounted to $26,222 compared to $309,671 for the six months ended
September 30, 1999. The reduction is due to the income recognized through
September 30, 1999 from favorable settlements of amounts owed to vendors.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased to $594,771 (2.7% of gross
sales) during the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $421,569
(3.1% of gross sales) during the same period in fiscal 2000. The higher interest
expense was due to increased borrowings, primarily caused by the increases in
receivables and inventories supporting higher sales volumes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As a result of the rapid growth of the Company's specialty papers
group, the introduction of the plastic file cabinet and storage group, and the
acquisition of certain assets from Domtar, the Company has required, and
continues to require, substantial externally provided working capital. At the
date of this Report, the Company's only other available source of working
capital consisted of borrowings available under its revolving credit facility.
The revolving credit facility permits borrowings of up to $9.5 million subject
to a borrowing base limitation of 75% of the value of the Company's eligible
accounts receivable and 50% of the value of its eligible inventory. Borrowings
under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and are secured by
substantially all of the Company's assets. Under the terms of the facility, the
Company is required to comply with a number of financial covenants relating to,
among other things, the maintenance of minimum net worth, debt-to-equity ratios
and cash flow coverage ratios. Borrowings under this facility were $8,466,788 at
September 30, 2000. Other sources and uses of liquidity are described in Item 5
- Other Information.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.
133, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
SFAS No. 133, requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the
balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are
recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income,
depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction
and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The Company does not expect that
the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.

         In June 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101B. SAB 101B delays the effective date of SAB
101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," until no later than the
fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. SAB 101
provides guidance on revenue recognition and the SEC staff's views on the
application of accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The
Company does not expect that the adoption of SAB 101 will have material impact
on its consolidated financial statements.



                                      -3-


<PAGE>   6





         In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached
consensus on Issue No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and
Costs." Issue No. 00-10 deals with the accounting for income billed and costs
related to shipping and handling charges on processing and delivery of customer
orders. Application of EITF 00-10 is required no later than the fourth fiscal
quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The EITF concluded
that amounts directly billed to customers for shipping and handling should be
classified as revenue. The Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF
00-10 will have material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3.  QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Substantially all of the revenue and operating expenses of the
Company's foreign subsidiaries are denominated in local currencies and
translated into US dollars at rates of exchange approximating those existing at
the date of the transactions. Foreign currency translation impacts primarily
revenue and operating expenses as a result of foreign exchange rate
fluctuations. The Company's foreign currency transaction risk is primarily
limited to amounts receivable from its foreign subsidiaries, which are
denominated in local currencies. The Company does not currently utilize foreign
currency hedging contracts.

         The Company also has foreign exchange translation exposures resulting
from the translation of foreign currency-denominated earnings into U.S. dollars
in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Foreign currency transaction
exposure arises when an operating unit transacts business denominated in a
currency that is not its own functional currency. The Company's transaction
risks are attributable primarily to inventory purchases from third party
vendors. The introduction of the Euro has significantly reduced such risks, and
transaction exposures on an overall basis are not material.

         If the U.S. dollar uniformly increases in strength by 10% in fiscal
year 2001 relative to the currencies in which the Company's sales are
denominated, loss before taxes would increase by $104,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would
change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition to the
direct effects of changes in exchange rates, which are a changed dollar value of
the resulting sales, changes in exchange rates also affect the volume of sales
or the foreign currency sales price as competitors' products become more or less
attractive. The Company's sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in sales
levels or local currency prices.

Company has retained ownership of its designs, copyrights and trademarks, and
has provided an exclusive license to Smead/Atlanta Group for the use of the
Geographics brand for paper products and a non-exclusive license to the Geofile
brand for file and storage products in exchange for royalty payments on sales of
the licensed products. Atlanta Group BV is headquartered in Hoogezand, The
Netherlands, and also has distribution facilities in Austria, Belgium, England,
France, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company has received approximately $500,000 in initial proceeds,
and will receive royalties of 5% of the sales of all of the Company's products
sold by the Smead/Atlanta Group.

         To expand its product offerings and customer base, as of December 18,
2000, the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of the
Z-GRAFIX(R) brand image paper from Kansas City, Missouri based Z-International,
Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company and Z-International have
entered into a license agreement for the Company to use the Z-GRAPHIX name.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has made an initial payment of
$100,000, will pay for inventory as sold, and will negotiate for the payment of
remaining inventory, if any, at a future date. The agreement also provides for
the payment of commissions on net sales, which shall not exceed three years. The
Z-International product line acquisition was funded from the proceeds of the
Smead/Atlanta transaction.

         The Company has also entered into an exclusive supply and distribution
agreement, effective as of November 28, 2000, for the production and
distribution of its products in Mexico. Under the agreement, the Company's paper
products will be printed and packaged in Mexico, and will be sold directly to
the Company's Mexican distributor in US dollars. This arrangement will greatly
enhance the Company's ability to service its customers in Mexico, such as Office
Depot and Wal-Mart, as well as enhancing the ability to reach traditional
Mexican retailers.

         As of the date of this report, the Company has entered into
negotiations for a long-term lease of a warehouse and sales offices in Waukesha,
Wisconsin. The Company intends to consolidate its warehouse operations currently
located in Toronto, Canada, Dallas, Texas, Madison and Windsor, Wisconsin to
Waukesha, Wisconsin. The Milwaukee sales office will also be relocated into the
Waukesha facility.

NOTE 3- ASSET ACQUISITION AND COMMITMENTS

         Effective as of April 1, 2000, the Company acquired certain assets of
the Consumer Products Business of the Communication Papers Division of Domtar,
Inc. of Canada, for total consideration of $4,781,140, plus expenses of $49,138.
Under the provisions of the agreement, the Company was granted an exclusive
world-wide license to convert, distribute and sell products under certain
exclusive Domtar trademarks, and a non-exclusive license to use the Domtar
Trademark. The initial term of the licenses is for a three year period extending
to March 31, 2003, extendable for an additional three year period, and
automatically renewable thereafter, unless terminated by either party. The
license remains exclusive providing annual sales achieve certain minimum sales
levels, or the payment of minimum royalties. The Agreement also provides for the
payment of royalties on the sale of Domtar products, an option by Domtar to
repurchase the assets at a premium, and the purchase of paper from Domtar.

         The total purchase price of these acquired assets, exclusive of
inventories is included in Licenses, Trademarks and Other Intangible Assets in
these condensed consolidated financial statements, and is being amortized to
cost of sales over a fifteen year period on the straight-line basis. The Company
plans to complete an analysis of the specific assets acquired, the allocation of
the total purchase price to the specific assets, and the estimated useful lives
related thereto. Upon completions of this analysis, if the Company determines
that an amortization period other than fifteen years is more appropriate, it
will revise its accounting at that time.

Outstanding stock options and warrants that could potentially dilute basic net
income (loss) per share in the future that were not included in the computation
