REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
U.S. Office Products Company
In our opinion, based upon our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements
of operations, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of U.S. Office Products Company and
its subsidiaries at April 30, 1996 and 1995 and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended
April 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
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 audits. We did not audit the financial statements of School Specialty,
Inc. and Re-Print Corporation (wholly owned subsidiaries) which statements
reflect total assets of approximately $44.3 million at December 31, 1994 and
total revenues of $150.5 million, $119.5 million and $21.4 million for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Those statements were
audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and
our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for
School Specialty, Inc. and Re-Print Corporation, is based solely on the reports
of the other auditors. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 1--BUSINESS ORGANIZATION
U.S. Office Products Company ("U.S. Office Products" or the "Company") was
founded in October 1994 to create a nationwide office products supplier,
primarily to corporate, commercial and industrial customers.
Concurrent with the closing of its initial public offering (the "IPO") in
February 1995, the Company acquired four companies for a combination of its
common stock and cash which are referred to herein as the "Combined Companies"
and acquired two companies in business combinations accounted for under the
purchase method. The six companies are referred to as the "Founding Companies."
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, U.S. Office Products acquired by
merger each of the Combined Companies (the "Mergers"). The assets and
liabilities of the Combined Companies are reflected at their historical amounts.
Capital stock of the Combined Companies is included in additional paid-in
capital. The Combined Companies previously reported on fiscal years ending other
than April 30. Commencing on May 1, 1994, the fiscal year-ends were changed to
April 30 which resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings during fiscal 1994
of $273 which resulted from revenues of $8,983 and expenses of $8,710.
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes to
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of U.S. Office Products,
the Combined Companies and the companies acquired in business combinations
accounted for under the purchase method (the "Purchased Companies") from their
respective acquisition dates and give retroactive effect to the results of the
companies acquired in business combinations accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method (the "Pooled Companies") for all periods presented.
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 the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
DEFINITION OF FISCAL YEAR
As used in these consolidated financial statements and related notes to
consolidated financial statements, "fiscal 1994," "fiscal 1995" and "fiscal
1996" refer to the Company's fiscal years ended April 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions
and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
F-19

U.S. OFFICE PRODUCTS COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers temporary cash investments with original maturities of
three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
trade accounts receivable. The Company invests a portion of its cash in highly
rated corporate commercial paper with original maturities of 30 days or less and
in overnight investments collateralized by U.S. government securities.
Receivables arising from sales to customers are not collateralized and, as a
result, management continually monitors the financial condition of its customers
to reduce the risk of loss.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined
on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis and consist primarily of product held for
sale.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions and improvements are
capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of
property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The estimated useful lives
range from 25 to 40 years for buildings and its components and 5 to 15 years for
furniture, fixtures and equipment. Property and equipment leased under capital
leases are being amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or their lease
terms.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill, which represents the excess
of cost over the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations
accounted for under the purchase method. Goodwill is amortized on a straight
line basis over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Management periodically
evaluates the recoverability of goodwill, which would be adjusted for a
permanent decline in value, if any, by comparing anticipated undiscounted future
cash flows from operations to net book value.
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Balance sheet accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the
year-end exchange rate, and statement of operations accounts are translated
using the average exchange rate for the year. Translation adjustments are
recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's majority owned foreign subsidiary has entered into forward
foreign currency exchange contracts (the "Exchange Contracts") with
counterparties to hedge the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations to the
extent permissible by hedge accounting requirements. At April 30, 1996, the
Exchange
F-20
<PAGE>
U.S. OFFICE PRODUCTS COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Contracts, in the notional amount of $4,616, hedge approximately $5,292 of
foreign currency denominated assets. Discounts or premiums on the Exchange
Contracts are amortized over the life of the contracts.
The Company's majority owned foreign subsidiary has also entered into
interest rate swap agreements (the "Swap Agreements") with counterparties to
convert the interest rates associated with certain outstanding debt from
variable rates to fixed rates. The notional amount of the Swap Agreements was
$43,000 at April 30, 1996. The market risks associated with these Swap
Agreements result from short-term fluctuations in interest rates. The credit
risks related to non-performance of the Swap Agreements by the counterparties
are not deemed to be significant; however, non-performance would result in the
Company terminating the Swap Agreements and recognizing a gain or loss,
depending on the then fair market value of the Swap Agreements.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107,
"Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Company has
estimated the fair value of its financial instruments using the following
methods and assumptions:
- The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
accounts payable approximates fair value;
- The fair value of the 5 1/3% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2001 is
based on quoted market prices;
- The carrying amounts of the Company's debt, other than the 5 1/2%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2001, approximates fair value,
estimated by discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's current
incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," except for one Combined Company and certain
Pooled Companies which were organized as subchapter S corporations prior to
being acquired by the Company. The asset and liability approach used in SFAS 109
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax
consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates
applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.
TAXES ON UNDISTRIBUTED EARNINGS
No provision is made for U.S. income taxes on earnings of subsidiary
companies which the Company controls but does not include in the consolidated
federal income tax return since it is management's practice and intent to
permanently reinvest the earnings.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized upon the delivery of office products to customers. The
Company also leases equipment to customers under both short-term and long-term
lease agreements. Revenue related to the short-term leases is recognized on a
monthly basis over the life of the lease. Certain long-term leases
F-21
<PAGE>
U.S. OFFICE PRODUCTS COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
qualify as sales-type leases and accordingly the present value of the future
lease payments are recognized as income upon delivery of the equipment to the
customer.
COST OF REVENUES
Vendor rebates are recognized on an accrual basis in the period earned and
are recorded as a reduction to cost of revenues. Delivery and occupancy costs
are included as an increase to cost of revenues.
NONRECURRING ACQUISITION COSTS
Nonrecurring acquisition costs represent acquisition costs incurred by the
Company in business combinations accounted for under the pooling-of-interests
method. These costs include legal and accounting fees, investment banking fees,
recognition of transaction related obligations and various other acquisition
related costs.
DISCONTINUATION OF PRINTING DIVISION AT SUBSIDIARY
During fiscal 1996, the Company discontinued the printing division at one of
its subsidiaries and incurred a one time charge of $682, which consisted
rimarily of the writedown of printing division assets to their estimated market
value.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share for fiscal 1996 is calculated by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year
including common stock equivalents, if dilutive.
Net income per share for fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995 has not been presented
as it is not considered meaningful due to the Mergers and the IPO in conjunction
with the formation of the Company during fiscal 1995.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." SFAS 123 establishes a fair value
based method of accounting for employee stock based compensation plans and
encourages companies to adopt that method. However, it also allows companies to
continue to apply the intrinsic value based method currently prescribed under
APB Opinion No. 25, provided certain pro forma disclosures are made. SFAS 123 is
not required to be adopted by the Company until fiscal 1997. The Company
currently intends to continue to apply the accounting method prescribed by APB
Opinion 25 and, accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123 will not have a material
impact on the Company.
In March, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of." This statement requires that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. SFAS 121 is not required to
be adopted by the Company until fiscal 1997. The Company does not anticipate
that SFAS 121 will have a material effect on the Company's operating results.

and contains customary covenants, including financial covenants with respect to
the Company's net worth and fixed charge coverage ratios, and customary default
provisions related to non-payment of principal and interest, default under other
debt agreements and bankruptcy. It also provides for a default in the event that
there is a change in control of the Company. The Comapny was in compliance with
or obtained waivers relating to these covenants as of April 30, 1996. The amount
that is available to be borrowed under the line of credit varies from time to
time, depending upon the level of receivables and inventory available to
collateralize borrowings. Since April 30, 1996, the Company has not provided
certain information required by this facility and has not requested certain
consents in respect of actions taken by the Company since April 30, 1996, which,
if not corrected, could limit the Company's ability to draw funds against this
line of credit. No amounts were outstanding against this facility at April 30,
1996. The Company believes that, if necessary, the information required by the
line of credit facility could be provided and the necessary consents could be
obtained to enable the Company to utilize this source of financing although
there can be no assurances in this regard.

The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") tax assessment relates to the deferral
of a gain on the sale of land and building by a subsidiary of the Company. The
IRS has determined that a portion of the gain recorded by the subsidiary does
not qualify for deferral and has required that the Company pay additional taxes.
The subsidiary has recorded a deferred tax liability as a result of the
assessment and the related interest. The Company has filed an appeal with the
IRS relating to the above assessment; however, the IRS has not yet responded to
the appeal.

NOTE 11--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the
normal course of its business. Management believes that none of this litigation
will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.
POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Company has entered into employment agreements with several employees
that would result in payments to these employees upon a change of control or
certain other events. No amounts have been accrued at April 30, 1996 or 1995
related to these agreements.
NOTE 12--EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Certain subsidiaries of the Company have qualified defined contribution
benefit plans, which allow for voluntary pre-tax contributions by the employees.
The subsidiaries pay all general and administrative expenses of the plans and in
some cases make matching contributions on behalf of the employees. For the
fiscal years ended April 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996, the subsidiaries incurred
expenses totaling $220, $450 and $683, respectively, related to these plans.
One Combined Company entered into agreements with three officers which
provided for future compensation to those officers subsequent to termination of
employment with the Combined Company for a period of five years. The future
compensation would not be received, however, in the event that an officer
received payment under that Company's Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Purchase Plan") in excess of the purchase price of the stock paid by the
officer. No compensation expense was recorded with

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 12--EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED)
respect to the agreement related to two of the officers, as it was probable that
they would receive payment under the Restricted Stock Purchase Plan. Future
compensation expense of approximately $1,030 was being recognized as expense for
the third officer over the estimated term of the officer's service to the
Company of approximately eleven years. The compensation expense equaled $95 in
fiscal 1994 and $71 in fiscal year 1995. The agreements were terminated upon
closing of the Merger.
The Purchase Plan was considered to be compensatory, for the benefit of
certain officers. Two of these officers each purchased 1,000 shares of stock for
$1 under the Purchase Plan. The stock was restricted and could only be purchased
by the Combined Company at specified prices that varied upon the occurrence of
certain events. As a result, the Combined Company's future compensation expense
of $1,398, under this Purchase Plan, was being recognized as expense over the
expected periods of the officers' future service to the Combined Company of 20
and 28 years. Compensation expense of approximately $60 and $45 was recognized
in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995, respectively. The Plan was terminated upon
closing of the Merger.
NOTE 13--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
LONG-TERM COMPENSATION PLAN
In October 1994, the Board of Directors and the Company's stockholders
approved the Company's 1994 Long-Term Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). The
purpose of the Plan is to provide directors, officers, key employees and
consultants with additional incentives by increasing their ownership interests
in the Company. The maximum number of options to purchase Common Stock granted
in any calendar or fiscal year under the Plan is equal to the greater of 855,000
shares or 15% of the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
at the time an award is granted, less, in each case, the number of shares
subject to previously outstanding awards under the Plan.
Under the provisions of the Plan, non-qualified stock options and other
stock awards are granted at prices not less than fair market value at the date
of grant. A summary of option transactions follows:

ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
In May 1996, the Company completed an offshore offering and a concurrent
private placement of $230,000, principal amount of 5 1/2% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2003, including the underwriters' over-allotment option
of $30,000. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in June 1996.
The net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $223,000.
REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
In June 1996, the Company entered into a commitment letter with a bank,
subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including execution of a
definitive credit agreement and related documentation, pursuant to which a
syndicate of financial institutions with the bank, as agent, will provide a
$250,000 revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") bearing interest, at
the Company's option, at the bank's base rate, plus an applicable margin of up
to 1.25%, or a eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin of up to 2.5%. The
Credit Facility is expected to be secured by all of the assets of the Company
and is expected to contain customary covenants, including financial covenants
with respect to the Company's net worth and fixed charges coverage ratio and
customary default provisions relating to non-payment of principal and interest,
default under other debt agreements, bankruptcy and change in control events.
NOTE 16--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company completed a total of 28
business combinations, 10 accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method
and 18 accounted for under the purchase method. Included in the business
combinations completed during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was the purchase
acquisition of Whitcoulls Group Limited ("Whitcoulls"), the largest contract
stationer/office products company in the Australia-New Zealand Market. As the
acquisition of Whitcoulls was completed on the last day of the quarter, the
consolidated results of operations for the three months ended July 27, 1996 do
not reflect any impact from Whitcoulls, however, the balance sheet of Whitcoulls
is included in the Company's July 27, 1996 consolidated balance sheet.

Subsequent to July 27, 1996, the Company has completed 11 business
combinations for an aggregate purchase price of $65.4 million, consisting of
approximately $16.1 million of cash and 1,709,778 shares of the Company's common
stock with a market value of approximately $49.3 million.
In August 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Bankers Trust
Company (the "Bank"), whereby the Bank, or a syndicate of financial institutions
including the Bank, will provide a $500 million revolving credit facility (the
"Credit Facility") bearing interest, at the Company's option, at the Bank's base
rate plus an applicable margin of up to 1.25%, or a eurodollar rate plus an
applicable margin of up to 2.5%. The availability under the Credit Facility is
subject to certain sublimits including $100 million for working capital loans
and $400 million for acquisition loans, with $180 million of the acquisition
loan sublimit available and expected to be used to refinance certain outstanding
indebtedness of the Company in Australia and New Zealand. The Credit Facility is
secured by a majority of the assets of the Company and contains customary
convenants, including financial covenants with respect to the Company's leverage
and interest coverage ratios, capital expenditures, payment of dividends and
purchases and sales of assets, and customary default provisions, including
provisions related to non-payment of principal and interest, default under other
debt agreements and bankruptcy.
In August 1996, at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the
stockholders approved, among other things, a proposal by the Board of Directors
of the Company to adopt an amendment to Article Four of the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, authorized for issuance from
100,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares.

of Common Stock in the September Stock Sale.
(b) Adjustment to reflect purchase price adjustments and repayment of certain
long-term debt associated with the Fiscal 1997 Completed Acquisitions and
the Fiscal 1997 Pending Acquisitions noted below. The portion of the
consideration assigned to goodwill in transactions accounted for as
purchases represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of the net
assets acquired. The Company amortizes goodwill over a period of 40 years.
The recoverability of the unamortized goodwill will be assessed on an
ongoing basis by comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from
operations to net book value.

ADJUSTMENTS (CONTINUED)
(f) Adjustment to reflect an increase in interest expense resulting from the
utilization of the proceeds from the sales of the February Notes and the May
Notes to effect acquisitions as if such debt had been outstanding for the
entire period. In addition, the adjustment reflects an increase in interest
expense resulting from the amortization of debt issue costs over the terms
of the February Notes and May Notes. The increase is offset by a reduction
of interest expense resulting from refinancing of existing debt of the
Fiscal 1997 Completed Acquisitions and the Fiscal 1997 Pending Acquisitions.
Adjustment also reflects a decrease in interest income resulting from the
utilization of a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of Commmon Stock
and the February Notes in the February Offerings to effect certain
transactions and refinance existing debt.
(g) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of the minority interest representing
49% of the net income of Blue Star for the year ended April 30, 1996.
(h) Adjustment to calculate the provision for income taxes on the combined pro
forma results at an effective income tax rate of approximately 44%. The
difference between the effective tax rate of 44% and the statutory tax rate
of 35% relates primarily to state income taxes and non-deductible goodwill.
(i) The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate pro forma earnings
per share is based on 42,330, 43,018, and 41,980 shares of Common Stock and
Common Stock equivalents outstanding for the year ended April 30, 1996 and
the three months ended July 27, 1996 and July 31, 1995, respectively. The
amounts are comprised of 38,614 shares outstanding for each of the periods,
1,710 shares issued for Fiscal 1997 completed acquisitions, 1,528 shares to
be issued for the Fiscal 1997 Pending Acquisitions and 478, 1,166, and 128
common stock equivalents considered to be outstanding related to stock
options, for the year ended April 30, 1996, and the three month periods
ended July 27, 1996 and July 31, 1995, respectively.
(j) Adjustment to reflect the income taxes for certain acquisitions accounted
for under the poolings-of-interests method which were taxed as subchapter S
corporations as if these companies had been subject to taxation as C
corporations. As a result of being subchapter S corporations, any tax
liabilities prior to acquisition were the responsibility of the individual
company stockholders.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
International Interiors, Inc.
Jacksonville, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of International Interiors,
Inc., as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income,
accumulated deficit, and cash flows for the years 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our report dated November 10, 1995, we expressed an opinion that the 1995
financial statements did not fairly present financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles because the Company accounted for commissions that it earned on
government sales by recording the gross sale and cost of sale amounts to yield
the respective commission earned. As described in Note 10, the Company has
changed its method of accounting for that item and has restated its 1995
financial statements to conform with generally accepted accounting principles.
Accordingly, our present opinion on the 1995 financial statements, as presented
herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of International Interiors, Inc.
as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS
International Interiors, Inc. (the Company) operations consist of
sales of office furniture, accessories, and supplies (new and refurbished).
The Company operates primarily in the Northeast Florida area. Most sales
are on account and are billed monthly. The Company is incorporated in the
State of Florida.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation for fiscal
years 1995 and 1994 in the amount of $80,085 and $82,077, respectively, was
computed using the straight-line method. Estimated lives used to compute
depreciation for property and equipment are as follows:
Years
-----

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS
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.
2. INCOME TAX
Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
cumulative effect of the change in accounting for income tax for prior
years is included in the year ended September 30, 1994.
The provision for income taxes consists of:
1994 1995
---- ----
Current $ 2,514 $ --
Deferred 172,684 42,865
-------- --------
Total $175,198 $ 42,865
-------- --------
-------- --------
The income tax provision differs from the expense that would result
from applying federal and state statutory rates to income before income
taxes, primarily because deferred income taxes are calculated using a flat
rate.
As of September 30, 1995 the Company has a $61,205 net operating loss
carryforward available to offset future taxable income through 2010. At
September 30, 1995 the Company has general business credits in the amount
of $38,967 available to offset income tax expense in future years from 1996
through 2008.
Deferred income taxes result from differences in the timing of
reporting income and expenses for financial statement and income tax
purposes. The differences relate primarily to depreciable assets (use of
different depreciation methods and lives for financial statement and income
tax purposes) and net operating loss carryforwards.
10
<PAGE>
2. INCOME TAX (continued)
At September 30, 1995 and 1994, deferred tax liabilities recognized
for taxable temporary differences totaled $17,186 and $15,455,

differences and net operating loss carryforwards totaled $60,618 and
$101,752 respectively, at September 30, 1995 and 1994.

bi-weekly salary into the plan. The employer can make a matching
discretionary contribution for the employee, not to exceed 25% of the first
6% of the employees' annual contribution. Employer contributions for the

$38,048 were paid by the Company during the 1995 fiscal year and are
included in operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 1995.
10. RESTATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These financial statements have been restated to reflect a newly
adopted accounting principle which will be the same as the one expected to
be used in future periods.
During the 1995 fiscal year the Company participated with its
wholesale factories on governmental sales which fall within the Company's
jurisdiction and which require a government bidding process. Title to the
goods pass directly from the factory to the government purchasing unit.
The Company in most cases coordinates the sales process, handles customer
service follow-up and often provides installation services.
The Company earns a net commission on the sale, usually 10% of
the sale amount. For 1995 such commissions amounted to $42,466.
Previously, the Company recorded the effect of the net commission by
recording the gross sale amount in its revenue. The difference between
the gross sale amount and the net commission earned was recorded as
purchases. For the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1995, revenue and
cost of sales have been restated and have been decreased by $358,007 and
$400,473, respectively. The net effect of the difference of $42,466
commissions has been added to sales.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITION
The Office Furniture Store, Inc. (OFS or the Company) is a distributor of
office furniture and accessories in the Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan area.
On May 23, 1996, the Company entered into a letter of intent with U.S.
Office Products Company (U.S. Office Products) whereby the Company agreed
to merge with U.S. Office Products. Pursuant to the letter of intent, the
Company's stockholders will exchange all of the outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock for 171,034 shares of U.S. Office Products' common
stock.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CREDIT RISK
Revenues are recognized upon shipment when all risks and rewards of
ownership have passed to the customer. The Company sells its products to a
wide group of industries in the Cincinnati area and its credit risks are
well distributed. The Company monitors its credit risk by establishing
credit limits and monitoring its outstanding accounts receivable.
Management has not provided an allowance for doubtful accounts as all
receivables are considered to be collectible.
Other receivables represent rebates and credits due from the Company's
suppliers.
INVESTMENTS
The Company has investments in certain equity securities which it has
classified as available for sale. Unrealized gains and losses on
investments held for sale are included in a separate component of equity.
Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific
identification method.
INVENTORY
Inventory consists solely of finished goods and is stated at the lower of
cost or market. Cost is determined utilizing the average cost basis.
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets, as follows: leasehold improvements - 20 years, furniture and
fixtures - seven years, computer equipment - five years and vehicles - five
years. Maintenance and repair costs which do not enhance efficiency or
increase the useful life of the asset are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed," which is required
to be adopted by the Company in 1996. The implementation of this Statement
is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of the Company's monetary assets and liabilities is a
reasonable estimate of fair value because of the liquid, short-term and
variable nature of these financial instruments.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this statement, deferred income taxes
are provided, to the extent considered realizable by management, for the
basis differences of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and
income tax purposes. Gross deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
not significant.
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 amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
SOURCES OF SUPPLY
In order to receive volume discounts the Company currently purchases
approximately 60% of its inventory from one vendor. Management believes
that other suppliers could provide similar products at comparable prices.
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information as of and
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and comparable information for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 contain all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results for
the periods presented.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounts are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with
Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views and the requirements
in Schedule 5 to the Corporations Regulations. The accounts have been prepared
on the basis of historical costs and do not take into account changing money
values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. The
accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the
Company in the preparation of the accounts.
(a) Receivables
A provision is raised for any doubtful debts based on a review of all
outstanding amounts at year end. Bad debts are written off during the
period in which they are identified.
(b) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Costs have been assigned to inventory quantities on hand at balance date
using the first-in-first-out and weighted average cost basis.
(c) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are included at cost. All property, plant
and equipment other than land are depreciated over their estimated useful
lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
(d) Comparative Figures
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with
changes in presentation in the current year.
(e) Goodwill
Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase consideration over the fair
value of identifiable net assets acquired arising upon the acquisition of
a business entity is shown as an intangible asset. Goodwill is amortised
on a straight line basis over the period of expected benefit, that period
not exceeding 20 years. For the years ended June 1988 and 1989, acquired
goodwill was written off in full via the profit and loss account. An
offsetting entry was posted from the "Acquired goodwill written off
reserve."

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounts are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with
Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views and the requirements
in Schedule 5 to the Corporations Regulations. The accounts have been prepared
on the basis of historical costs and do not take into account changing money
values or, except where stated, current valuations of non current assets. The
accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the
Company in the preparation of the accounts.
(a) Goodwill
Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase consideration over the fair
value of identifiable net assets acquired arising upon the acquisition of a
business entity is shown as an intangible asset. Goodwill is amortised on
a straight line basis over the period of expected benefit, that period not
exceeding 20 years. For the years ended June 1988 and 1989, acquired
goodwill was written off in full via the profit and loss account. An
offsetting entry was posted from the "Acquired goodwill written off
reserve."
(b) Receivables
A provision is raised for any doubtful debts based on a review of all
outstanding amounts at year end. Bad debts are written off during the
period in which they are identified.
(c) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs
have been assigned to inventory quantities on hand at balance date using
the first-in-first-out and weighted average cost basis or under the retail
inventory method.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are included at cost. All property, plant and
equipment, other than land are depreciated over their estimated useful
lives using the straight line method commencing from the time the asset is
held ready for use.
(e) Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with
changes in presentation in the current year.

A provision is raised for any doubtful debts based on a review of all
outstanding amounts at year end. Bad debts are written off during the

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs
are assigned on a first in first out basis; and include an appropriate
share of both variable and fixed costs.

Property, plant and equipment are included at cost. All property, plant
and equipment other than land are depreciated over their estimated useful
lives using the straight line method commencing from the time the asset is
held ready for use.

Where necessary comparative figures in the notes to the accounts have been
altered to conform with the current year's presentation and to give more
meaningful comparisons. The comparatives in the accounts remain unaltered.
