ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
This Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Form 8-K") is being filed by the
Registrant for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-05 under Regulation S-X, in
contemplation of the filing by the Registrant of one or more registration
statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which registration
statement(s) will incorporate by reference this Form 8-K. This Form 8-K includes
certain audited and unaudited financial statements, as well as pro forma
financial statements, with respect to thirteen companies whose stock or assets
were acquired or are probable of being acquired by the Registrant subsequent to
its fiscal year end on March 2, 1996 (the "Acquired Companies"). The aggregate
consideration paid by the Registrant for the stock and assets of the Acquired
Companies was approximately $38.5 million, which consideration was paid in cash,
promissory notes and common stock of the Registrant. The source of the cash used
in the acquisition of the Acquired Companies was a portion of the proceeds
received from the issuance of the Registrant's 4 1/2% Convertible Notes due on
July 1, 2000 (the "Notes). The nature and amount of consideration paid in
connection with the Acquired Companies was determined based on negotiations
between the Registrant and the sellers of the Acquired Companies (the
"Sellers"). Prior to the acquisitions, there were no material relationships
between the Registrant or any of its affiliates, directors or officers or any
associates thereof and the Acquired Companies or the Sellers.

defined in Note 1. These financial statements are the responsibility of the

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Check Office Equipment Company

Check Office Equipment Company
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation:
Certain assets and liabilities of Check Office Equipment Company, Inc.,
(the "Company") were acquired by a subsidiary of Corporate Express, Inc.
at the close of business on March 3, 1996. These financial statements
include certain defined assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the
operations which comprised the Company and were acquired by Corporate
Express, Inc. The accompanying financial statements as of and for the 12
months ended February 29, 1996 have been prepared as if the assets and
liabilities acquired had operated as an independent entity and are
presented on a historical cost basis. The pro forma income tax provision
has been presented to reflect the tax provision on a separate company
basis. No current tax liability has been presented in the financial
statements as the liability for income taxes remains the obligation of
the parent company pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement with
Corporate Express, Inc.
The Company markets office equipment, supplies and furniture and provides
routine maintenance and support for office equipment. The Company's
customers are primarily located in the state of Missouri.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
a. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
As of February 29, 1996, cash held on deposit exceeded federally
insured limits by approximately $17,000. The fair market value of cash
and cash equivalents approximates book value.
b. Inventories: Inventories consist of finished goods. Inventories are
primarily valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or
market.
c. Plant and Equipment: Plant and equipment are stated at cost. The cost
and related accumulated depreciation of plant and equipment retired or
sold are removed from the applicable accounts and any gain or loss is
included in operations. Depreciation is computed for financial
reporting purposes using both straight-line and accelerated methods
over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Equipment 5-7 years
Furniture and fixtures 5-7 years
Leasehold improvements 5-31.5 years
<PAGE>
Check Office Equipment Company
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
d. Accounting for Income Taxes: Under the asset and liability method of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of
existing assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the
temporary differences are expected to reverse.
All of Check Office Equipment Company's operations for the year ended
February 29, 1996 are included in the Parent Company's federal and
state consolidated income tax returns. The pro-forma provision for
income taxes reflects taxes calculated on a separate return basis. No
liability for potential future income tax assessments relating to
prior years is included in the financial statements. Such liability
would be the obligation of the Parent Company pursuant to the Asset
Purchase Agreement with Corporate Express, Inc.
e. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements: The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
3. Plant and Equipment:
The major classes of plant and equipment at February 29, 1996 are as
follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Equipment $ 245,500
Furniture and fixtures 201,366
Leasehold improvements 33,097
----------
479,963
Less accumulated depreciation 355,256
----------
$ 124,707
==========
</TABLE>
<PAGE>
Check Office Equipment Company
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
4. Related Party Transactions:
The Company leases certain office facilities under month-to-month
operating lease agreements from a related company owned by the sole
shareholder of the Company. Rent expense on these facilities was $183,060
for 1996.
The Company has issued notes payable to several related entities that are
owned, in part, by the sole shareholder of the Company. These notes are
demand notes and bear interest ranging from 9.5% to 11.5%. Interest
expense on these notes was $12,739 for 1996. The carrying value of these
notes approximates the fair value of these instruments based on the
short-term nature of the notes and management's best estimate of interest
rates that would be available on similar debt obligations as of February
29, 1996.
5. Pro Forma Income Taxes:
The components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes at February
29, 1996 are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Current $ 160,500
Deferred (2,000)
----------
Total provision $ 158,500
==========
</TABLE>
The effective income tax rate on income before income taxes differed from
the U.S. federal statutory rate as of February 29, 1996 for the following
reasons:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
U.S. federal statutory rate 35.0 %
Effect of graduated rates (1.0)
U.S. state and local taxes, net of federal benefit 4.5
------
38.5 %
======
</TABLE>
<PAGE>
Check Office Equipment Company
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
The components of the net deferred income tax asset are recognized in the
accompanying balance sheet at February 29, 1996. The types of temporary
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts that give rise to a significant portion of
the deferred income tax assets relate primarily to items recognized in
book income which are not yet recognized for tax.
SFAS 109 requires a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if,
based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not
that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based
upon prior positive earnings and the expectations that taxable income
will continue for the foreseeable future, management believes it is more
likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets and
accordingly, no valuation allowance has been provided as of February 29,
1996.
6. Employee Benefit Plans:
The Company maintains a retirement plan which is qualified under section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all
employees who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows
participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax
basis. The Company matches 25% of employee contributions on the first 4%
of salary. Profit sharing contributions may be made at the discretion of
the Board of Directors.
Total expenses related to the Plan, including matching and profit sharing
contributions were $13,000 in 1996.
The Company does not offer other post-employment or post-retirement
benefits.

---------
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, determined by the
first-in, first-out method.
Property and Equipment
----------------------
Depreciation for vehicles and equipment purchased prior to 1992 are
provided principally using accelerated methods. Depreciation for
vehicles and equipment purchased after December 31, 1991 is provided
using the straight-line method. Depreciation for buildings and
improvements is computed on the straight-line method. Estimated useful

Buildings and improvements 25 years
Depreciation expense was $79,090 for the year ended December 31, 1995.

while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any
resulting gain or loss is included in operations.

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
---------------------
The Company has a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of

of the Company.
NOTE 13 - PROFORMA EFFECT OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE (UNAUDITED)
---------------------------------------------------------
There are timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses
for financial and income tax reporting purposes. The differences arise
from the use of different methods of computing depreciation and the
timing of recognition of certain payroll expenses and income. The
effective rate on income before income taxes was less than the
statutory rate of 35% due to the graduated tax rates, and the effect
of non-deductible life insurance and entertainment expenses.

1. Basis of Presentation:
---------------------
Center Office Products, Inc. (the "Company") was acquired by a subsidiary of
Corporate Express, Inc. at the close of business on July 7, 1996. The
accompanying financial statements are presented on an historical cost basis.
The accompanying financial statements for the 12 months ended July 6, 1996
have been prepared as if the Company had operated as an independent stand-
alone entity. These financial statements include certain defined assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses of the operations which were acquired by
Corporate Express, Inc.
The Company markets office supplies and provides printing services to large
and small businesses.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
------------------------------------------
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment.
Inventories:
Inventories consist of finished goods. Inventories are primarily valued at
the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market.
Furniture and Equipment:
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed for
financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, generally over five years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:
The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing
their carrying amounts with the replacement value. If the carrying amounts
exceed the replacement value, the assets are written down to their fair
value.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Forms and Supplies, Inc.
Memphis, Tennessee
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Forms and Supplies,
Inc. as of December 31, 1995, and the related statements of income
and retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 1994, were audited by other auditors
whose report, dated February 17, 1995, expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 1995 financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Forms and Supplies, Inc. as of December 31, 1995, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1: Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
-------------------------------------------------------
O Nature of Business:
Forms and Supplies, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in
Tennessee in 1975 and is a distributor of business and computer forms and
computer-related supplies and equipment. The Company also specializes in
office interiors and design services. The corporate office is in Memphis,
Tennessee with branch locations in Nashville, Tennessee; Little Rock,
Arkansas; Birmingham, Alabama; Paducah, Kentucky; Jackson, Mississippi; and
Tupelo, Mississippi.
O Inventory:
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined on a moving
weighted-average basis, or market.
O Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Years
-----
<S> <C>
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 - 7
Computer equipment 5 - 7
Automobiles and trucks 4 - 5
</TABLE>
O Deferred Taxes:
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby
deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences
and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary
differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets relate primarily to
the deferred lease obligation, and deferred tax liabilities relate
primarily to property and equipment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects
of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1: (Continued)
O Amortization of Goodwill:
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a company acquired
over the fair value of its net assets at date of acquisition and is being
amortized on the straight-line method over 15 years.
O Reclassification:
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the current year presentation.
O Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt and line of credit
is estimated based on the quoted market price for the same or similar
issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same
remaining maturities. At December 31, 1995, the carrying value of these
financial instruments approximates the fair value.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business: The Company's operations are in the sale of office products
- ------------------
and supplies. The Company sells on credit terms it establishes for individual
customers.
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:
Fiscal year: The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to
- -----------
September 30th each year. The years ended September 30, 1995 and October 1,
1994 each consisted of 52 weeks.
Cash and cash equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company
- -------------------------
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out
- -----------
method) or market.
Property and equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation
- ----------------------
and amortization are computed principally by accelerated methods over the
following estimated useful lives: buildings 20 to 40 years; furniture and
equipment 5 to 10 years; vehicles 5 years. Amortization of property and
equipment leased under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.
Intangible assets: The intangible assets purchased from Southern Cartridge,
- -----------------
Inc. are amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
the assets which range from 9 months to 10 years.
Income taxes: The Company has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation for
- ------------
federal income tax purposes. Consequently, taxable income reported by the
Company in its federal income tax returns is reported by the stockholders in
their individual income tax returns, and the Company is not liable for federal
income taxes on such taxable income.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
- ---------
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Inventories
Valuation of inventories under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method would have
been $26,775 in excess of LIFO valuation at September 30, 1995 and $(30,721)
less than the LIFO valuation at October 1, 1994.

DOCK TRUCK EXPRESS INC.
-----------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
--------------------------
Dock Truck Express Inc. (the Company) was formed on December 13, 1991. The
Company is a provider of same-day scheduled and on-demand courier service
primarily within the state of Minnesota.
The stockholder of the Company entered into a definitive agreement with U.S.
Delivery Systems, Inc. (U.S. Delivery), a subsidiary of Corporate Express, Inc.,
in July 1996, pursuant to which U.S. Delivery acquired all of the assets and
liabilities of the Company in an asset purchase.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
--------------------------------
Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------
The Company maintains its records, and the accompanying financial statements
have been prepared, on the accrual basis of accounting.
Interim Financial Information
- -----------------------------
The interim financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and
footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been omitted. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows with respect to the interim financial statements, have
been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.
Fixed Assets
- ------------
Equipment is recorded at cost. The Company capitalizes fixed assets over
$1,000. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the asset's
useful life. The categories and useful lives are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Category Life
-------- ----
<S> <C>
Vehicles 5 years
Buildings and improvements 7-39 years
Furniture and equipment 5 years
</TABLE>
Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
Revenue is recognized when the services are provided to the Company's customers.
<PAGE>
-2-
Income Taxes
- ------------
The Company has elected S Corporation status as defined by the Internal Revenue
Code whereby the Company is not subject to taxation for federal or state
purposes. Under S Corporation status, the stockholder reports his share of the
Company's taxable earnings or losses in his personal tax return.
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited to the
wide variety of customers and markets into which Dock Truck Express Inc.
deliveries are performed. As a result, the Company does not consider itself to
have any significant concentrations of credit risk. The Company performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. In addition, the Company maintains
allowances for potential credit losses, and historical losses have been within
management's expectations.
3. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS:
----------------------
Long-term obligations consist of the following as of December 31, 1995:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Notes payable to a bank, due 1996 to 1999, interest rates ranging from
7.25% to 10.0%, secured by vehicles and buildings $ 332,693

noncancelable operating lease was $16,650 in 1996 and $8,550 in 1997.
Rent expense related to operating leases amounted to $17,028 for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
------------------------------
The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal
course of its business, most of which involves claims for personal injury and
property damage incurred in connection with its operations. The Company
maintains insurance coverage, subject to deductibles, in order to reduce
exposure of losses resulting from these claims. Management believes that the
ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
<PAGE>
-3-
5. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
---------------------------
On April 19, 1994, the Company and Trudeau Distributing Company, Inc., an
affiliate of the Company, entered into a contract to purchase real property in
Isle, Minnesota. Each company owns 50 percent of the property which was
purchased for $76,208. The purchase was financed by a note for $55,765 with
both parties as debtors. The remainder of the purchase price was paid in cash.
The Company recorded its 50 percent share of the property as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>

-----------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
--------------------------
Pronto Delivery Service, Inc. (the Company), was formed on March 15, 1982. The
Company is a provider of same-day scheduled and on-demand courier service
primarily within the state of Texas.
The stockholders of the Company entered into a definitive agreement with U.S.
Delivery Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Corporate Express, Inc., in August 1996,
pursuant to which Corporate Express, Inc., acquired all of the issued and
outstanding stock of the Company in a merger accounted for as a pooling of
interests.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
--------------------------------
Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------
The Company maintains its records, and the accompanying financial statements
have been prepared, on the accrual basis of accounting.
Interim Financial Information
- -----------------------------
The interim financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows with respect to the interim financial statements, have
been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.
Fixed Assets
- ------------
Equipment is recorded at cost. The Company capitalizes fixed assets over
$1,000. Depreciation is computed on the MACRS basis, which approximates
straight-line basis, over the asset's useful life. The categories and useful
lives are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Category Life

<S> <C>
Computer equipment 3 years
Leasehold improvements Life of lease

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
Revenue is recognized when the services are provided to the Company's customers.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The Company has implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," for all periods presented. This
statement provides for a liability approach to accounting for income taxes.
Deferred income taxes are provided for differences in the recognition of revenue
and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes. Temporary differences
result primarily from differences between cash basis reporting for income tax
purposes and accrual basis reporting for financial reporting purposes.
<PAGE>
-2-
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited to the
wide variety of customers for which and markets into which Pronto Delivery
Services, Inc., deliveries are performed. As a result, the Company does not
consider itself to have any significant concentrations of credit risk. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. In addition, the
Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses, and historical losses
have been within management's expectations.

property damage incurred in connection with its operations. The Company
maintains insurance coverage, subject to deductibles, in order to reduce
exposure of losses resulting from these claims. Management believes that the
ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
---------------------------------
Virginia Impression Products Co., Inc. (the "Company") is a distributor of
approximately 2,000 office products. The Company consists of two sales
divisions: one which services commercial and state/local accounts within the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and a second division, Federal Marketing Company,
which services hundreds of Federal Agencies, both nationwide and overseas.
1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices:
---------------------------------------------
(a) Sales are recorded as income when delivery is made to customers.
Expenses are recorded on the accrual method.
(b) Depreciation expense is computed using the straight line method.
Depreciation expense was $96,088 and $100,188 for the years ending
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
(c) Inventories are determined at the lower of cost or market on the
first-in, first-out method.
(d) Bad debts are accounted for using the reserve method. As of December
31, 1995, a reserve for bad debts has been established in the amount of
$54,300. As of December 31, 1994, the reserve was $54,300.
(e) Some amounts have been reclassified to make these statements
comparative.
(f) For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of one year or less to be
cash equivalents.
(g) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Note Payable
------------
Note payable is due to a former officer of the Company. This loan was
satisfied in early 1995.
3. Leases
------
Office and warehouse facilities at the Company's headquarters are rented
from its majority stockholder at a rental of $9,720 per month, plus taxes
and insurance, for a term of ten years commencing February 1, 1992. Office
and warehouse space is leased in Virginia Beach, Virginia from an unrelated
party thru April, 1999 at $1,350 per month. Lease commitments are as
follows:

---------
Total $ 756,810
=========
4. Income Taxes (See Note 12, also)
------------
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in
the financial statements. They consist of taxes currently due plus deferred
taxes. Deferred taxes arise primarily from timing differences of income and
expenses in the financial statements, as compared to the timing of these
items on the tax returns. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent
the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either
be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or
settled.
Components of income tax expense are as follows:
1995 1994
---------- ----------
Current income taxes $ 267,718 $ 179,976
Deferred income taxes (22,010) (18,330)
---------- ----------
Total $ 245,708 $ 161,646
========== ==========
Deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:
1995 1994
---------- ----------
CURRENT
-------
Deferred tax asset $ 110,375 $ 84,404
Deferred tax liability -0- (3,817)
---------- ----------
Net Deferred Tax Asset $ 110,375 $ 80,587
========== ==========
NONCURRENT
----------
Deferred tax liability $ 42,020 $ 34,242
========== ==========
<PAGE>
Page 8
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
---------------------------------
The deferred tax asset results from an allowance for bad debts that is not
deductible for tax purposes until losses are identified and written off,
and inventory adjustments under Internal Revenue Code Section 263A "Uniform
Capitalization rules" which require certain costs to be allocated to
inventory and tax deductions to be reduced. The deferred tax liability
results from certain costs which are allowed to be deducted for income tax
purposes, but are capitalized under generally accepted accounting
principles, and the use of accelerated methods of depreciation of property
and equipment.

7. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
-----------------------------
In 1985, the Company formed an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The
plan currently owns 94,750 shares of Company stock which represents 47% of the
outstanding stock. For the year ending December 31, 1995, the Company is
entitled to deduct, for tax purposes, all contributions made before September
15, 1996. Contributions to the plan were $102,500 and $40,000 for 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

10. Mortgage Receivable
-------------------
The Company loaned to Mr. and Mrs. D.H. Redman $784,000 in January of 1992.
Mr. Redman is currently employed by the Company as the Chief Executive
Officer. The loan is secured by a deed of trust note, dated January 31,
1992, and collateralized by the Hanover County land and building that the
Company currently occupies and leases. The note bears interest at eight and
one-half percent (8.5%), and is due in monthly installments of $9,720 for a
term of ten years. Interest income of $49,469 and $54,925 has been included
in the income statements for 1995 and 1994, respectively.
11. Accounts Receivable - USOPA
---------------------------
Regional member companies of the United Specialty Office Products
Association (USOPA) wanted to maximize their discount from a supplier
(Hewlett-Packard) by buying in large quantities. Virginia Impression
Products Co., Inc. (a USOPA member) agreed to act on behalf of themselves
and the other USOPA members and the supplier. None of this activity is
included in the income statement of the Company, since there is no sale in
the normal course of business. However, the net of accounts receivable from
USOPA members, and related accounts payable to the supplier are included in
the balance sheet.
12. Change in Accounting Principle
------------------------------
During 1994, the Company adopted SFAS Statement No. 109 - Accounting for
Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed annually
<PAGE>
Page 10
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
---------------------------------
for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or
refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in
deferred tax assets and liabilities. Financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1993 have been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 109
effective January 1, 1993, and its impact is as follows:

========== ==========
</TABLE>
13. Contingencies
-------------
During 1995, the Internal Revenue Service concluded an examination of the
Company's 1992, 1993, and 1994 tax returns. In September, 1995, the IRS
proposed that the Company was subject to the accumulated earnings tax in the
amount of $515,787 for the years under examination. The Company strongly
contests these proposed adjustments, and as of January 31, 1996, had filed a
written protest with the Richmond appeals office. As of the date of our
report, no date has been set to meet with the appeals office. Management
believes that this matter is without basis, and intends to vigorously defend
its position. As such, there has been no accrual of the proposed tax
increase.
The Company is currently defending itself from a lawsuit filed by a
competitor for violation of a 1982 consent decree whereby the Company is
allowed to do business as "F.M.C. of Virginia" in the District of Columbia.
As damages, the suit seeks the profit on sales found to be in violation of
the consent decree. As of the date of our report, the amount of damages are
indeterminate, and the Company is vigorously defending the suit. As such,
management has made no accrual for any potential liability.
