              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
                                (000's omitted)

                                August 31, 1998
                                ---------------

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, 1998.

2. The results for the three and six month periods August 31, 1998 and 1997, are
   not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal
   year.

3. For the three and six months ended August 31, 1998 and 1997, 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.

   The valuation allowance of $750 at February 28, 1998, which represented 40%
   of the gross deferred tax assets on that date, was $470, or 38% on August 31,
   1998. The tax provision for the six months ended August 31, 1998 includes a
   current tax benefit of $280.

5. In August 1998, the Company purchased 100,000 shares of treasury stock at a
   price of $2.55 per share in connection with it's Stock Repurchase Plan.

6. Effective September 28, 1998, the Company executed an asset purchase
   agreement whereby it acquired certain assets of the BCT Franchise in
   Merrimack, New Hampshire in exchange for cash and notes and accounts
   receivable due the Company amounting to approximately $737.

7. On September 18, 1998, the Company negotiated a line of credit with a bank
   for $2 million.  The line of credit bears interest of prime +.25%, interest
   is payable monthly.  No advances have been made on the line.

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


                                August 31, 1998
                                ---------------
                                        
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
 
Total revenues increased $463,000, or 10%, for the three months ended August 31,
1998 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.  The
increase in revenue is attributable primarily to increases in (i) sales of paper
products ($385,000, or 14%), (ii) royalty revenue ($67,000, or 5%), and a
decrease of Company Franchises revenue ($31,000, or 5%).  The increase in
royalty revenue is attributable to increased sales of the BCT network of
franchises.  The increase in sales of paper products is attributable to the
increase in BCT network sales and increased market share.

Total revenues increased $853,000, or 9%, for the six months ended August 31,
1998, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.  The
increase in revenue is attributable primarily to increases in (i) sales of paper
products ($582,000, or 10%), (ii) royalty revenue ($252,000, or 10%), and is
offset by a decrease in Company Franchises revenue ($74,000, or 6%).

Cost of paper and printing sales as a percentage of paper and printing sales was
86% and 85%, respectively, for the three and six months ended August 31, 1998,
as compared to 83% and 84%, respectively, for the corresponding periods in
fiscal 1998.  Although the percentage generally remains stable, it does
fluctuate due to periodic changes in the revenue mix.

Selling and administrative expenses represented 20% of gross revenues for the
three and six months ended August 31, 1998, and 20% for the corresponding
periods in fiscal 1998.

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

Cash resources increased $53,000 during the six months ended August 31, 1998.
The Company utilized working capital to make debt payments totalling $49,000,
made capital expenditures of approximately $43,000, most of which were dedicated
to equipment, and advanced $167,000 in anticipation of the resale of a
franchise.

The Company's cash position improved as a result of increased revenues and
collections and enabled the Company to reduce accounts payable $572,000 or 28%.

The Company plans to continue to improve its working capital and cash positions
during fiscal 1999 by focusing its efforts on increasing cash collections and
implementing new product lines.  During September 1998, the Company initiated a
plan to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
 
The Company believes that internally generated funds will be sufficient to
satisfy the Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements for
the foreseeable future; however, the Company has obtained a $2 million line of
credit with a bank.
