1.   ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

     TST/Impreso, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a manufacturer and
     distributor to dealers and other resellers of paper products for
     commercial and home use in domestic and international markets. The
     Company's product line consists of standard continuous computer stock

     subsidiary  was formed to support activities of TST/Impreso, Inc.
     (referred to collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries as " the
     Company").

2.   INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     In the opinion of management, the Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial
     Statements of the Company include all adjustments, consisting of any
     normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the
     Company's financial position as of November 30, 1996 and its results of
     operations for the three months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995. Results
     of the Company's operations for the interim period ended November 30,
     1996, may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year. Certain
     information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
     regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
     "SEC").

     The interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in
     conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and
     accompanying notes of the Company and its subsidiaries, included in the
     Company's Form 10- K (the "Company's Form 10-K") for the fiscal year ended
     August 31, 1996, File Number  0-26774. Accounting policies used in the
     preparation of the Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are

     10-K.

     extraordinary gain totalling $132,381, net of related income tax expense
     of  $75,569. The extraordinary gain primarily  resulted from the Company's
     early extinguishment of a note payable to a financial institution with a
     face amount of $1,213,933 for a negotiated discounted amount of
     $1,000,000.

7.   STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

     During the quarter ended November 30, 1995, the Company granted 293,800
     options to certain employees, a Director, and a consultant under its 1995
     Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). These options were granted at an exercise
     price of $6.00 per share, the fair market value at the date of grant.
     These options will become exercisable at various dates beginning in April
     1996, through April 1999. Thirty-six hundred of those options were
     forfeited during the 1996 fiscal year, and 1,350 of those options were
     forfeited during the quarter ended November 30,1996.

     On January 2, 1996, the Company elected two new outside Directors to its
     Board of Directors. In accordance with the Plan, each Director received an
     automatic grant of an option for 1,000 shares of Common Stock. These
     options were granted at the fair market value at the date of grant with an
     exercise price of $6.75 per share and are exercisable in two equal annual
     installments.

     On October 1, 1996, an officer of the Company was granted an option for
     15,000 shares of Common Stock.  These options were granted at the fair
     market value at the date of grant with an exercise price of  $5.58 per
     share and are exercisable in accordance with the Plan beginning on April
     1, 1997.

     As of November 30, 1996, 72,800 of the options granted under the Plan are
     exercisable. The shares issuable on exercise of these options are
     restricted from public sale until April 4,1997, by the Underwriters'
     Agreement.  Remaining options available for grant under the Plan,
     including all forfeited options, total 94,150.

     In addition to options under the Plan, in October 1995, in connection with
     the Company's initial public offering "IPO"), the Company granted an
     option to purchase up to 147,730 shares of Common Stock (over-allotment
     option) to its Underwriters at $6.00 per share. The option was exercised
     in full on November 14, 1995.

     Also in connection with the Company's IPO, the Company issued warrants to
     its Underwriters for $.001 per warrant to purchase an aggregate of 110,000
     shares of Common Stock. The warrants became exercisable on October 5,
     1996, for four years at an exercise price of $7.20 per share.

     The Company also issued warrants to two consultants. One warrant for
     10,000 shares of Common Stock is exercisable for a period of five years
     from December 1, 1995, at an exercise price of $7.20 per share. The other
     warrant, also for  10,000 shares of Common Stock, became exercisable
     October 5, 1996, for a period of four years at an exercise price of $6.60
     per share.

8.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

     Earnings per share is based  on the weighted average number of common
     shares outstanding.  Common share equivalents have not been included in
     the computation of earnings per share as the dilution of these equivalents
     is not considered material.

9.   SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS PER SHARE DATA

     In October 1995, the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 filed
     with the SEC was declared effective for the sale of 1,247,730 shares
     (including over-allotment option shares) at $6.00 per share. The unaudited
     supplemental earnings per share data has been calculated assuming the IPO
     occurred as of the beginning of each respective period.

10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     In December 1996, the Company installed its second sheeter at its Texas
     manufacturing facility. The first sheeter was installed in fiscal 1996.
     The recently installed sheeter is a high volume commodity sheeter. A third
     sheeter, also a high volume commodity sheeter, was installed in the West
     Virginia facility on January 7,1997. Deposits made for the sheeters
     totalling $709,000 at November 30,1996, were reimbursed to the Company
     under an operating lease agreement in December 1996 .


ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of  Operations for the Interim Periods Ending November 30, 1996, and
1995.

     Net Sales---Net sales for the three months ended November 30, 1996,
     decreased $3.1 million, or 25.9%, as compared to the corresponding period
     of the prior year as a result of  the reduction in sales volume to a major
     customer of the Company, and decreased sales due to price increases
     combined with depressed market conditions.

     Gross Profit---Gross profit for the three months ended November 30, 1996,
     decreased $1.1 million, or 46.9%, as compared to the corresponding period
     of the prior year. The decreased gross profit was primarily the result of
     decreased sales volume and the Company's inability to pass on to the
     customers of the Company increased raw material costs resulting from
     temporary fluctuations in the market. The Company's gross profit margin
     was 14.1% for the three month period ended November 30, 1996, as compared
     to 19.7 % for the corresponding period of the prior year.

     Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses---Selling, General, and
     Administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30, 1996, were
     $1.1 million, or 12.4 % of net sales, as compared to $1.1 million, or 9.3%
     of net sales, for the corresponding period of the prior year. Selling,
     General, and Administrative expenses





                                       9
<PAGE>   11
     remained constant in dollars, but increased as a percent of net sales
     during this period because of the decrease in net sales.

     Interest Expense---Interest expense decreased by $137,000, or
     approximately  72.5%, to $52,000 for the three months ended November 30,
     1996, from $189,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year. The
     decrease was primarily attributable to the Company renegotiating its line
     of credit to a lower interest rate and extinguishment of a prepetition
     note payable.

     Income before taxes and extraordinary gain---Income before taxes and
     extraordinary gain for the three months ended November 30, 1996, was
     $125,000 as compared to $1,012,000 for the corresponding period of the
     prior  year, a decrease of $887,000, or 87.6%. This decrease was primarily
     attributable to the reduction in net sales and the decrease in gross
     profit margin.

     Extraordinary Gain---The Company did not record an extraordinary gain for
     the three months ended November 30, 1996, as compared to an extraordinary
     gain totalling $132,000, net of related income tax expense of $75,569, for
     the corresponding period of the prior year.  The prior  year gain resulted
     from the Company's early extinguishment of a prepetition note payable for
     a discounted amount.

     Income Taxes---The Company's provision for income taxes was $45,000 for
     the three months ended  November 30, 1996, as compared to $391,000 for the
     corresponding  period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to
     a decrease in pre-tax profits. The effective tax rate for the three month
     period ended November 30, 1996, was 36.3% as compared to 38.2% for the
     corresponding period of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Net cash used in operating activities was $278,000 for the three months
     ended November 30, 1996, as compared with $296,000 for the corresponding
     period of the prior  year.  Cash flows from operating activities decreased
     in this period, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year,
     due to the decrease in sales volume partially offset by the decrease in
     bonuses paid.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $668,000 for the three
     months ended November 30, 1996, compared with $1.0 million provided by
     financing activities for the corresponding period of the prior year. Net
     cash provided by financing activities was substantially higher in the
     corresponding period of the prior year because of the additional net
     proceeds from the issuance of common stock in October 1995, in connection
     with the Company's IPO.

     Working capital decreased to $9.6 million at November 30, 1996, from $9.8
     million at August 31, 1996, a decrease of 2%, primarily attributable to an
     increase in the Company's borrowings under its line of credit to $845,000
     at November 30, 1996, from $138,000 at August 31, 1996.

     In May 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank  for a one
     year, secured, revolving line of credit, which is secured by, among other
     things, inventory, trade receivables, equipment and a personal guarantee
     of Mr.  Sorokwasz, Chairman of the Board, President of the Company, and
     trustee of a trust which is the majority shareholder of the Company.
     Available borrowings under this line of credit, which accrues interest at
     the prime rate of interest plus 1% (9.25% at November 30, 1996), are based
     upon specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and
     inventories. As of November 30, 1996, there was a $4.2 million borrowing
     capacity remaining under the $5 million revolving line of credit. The
     revolving credit line matures in May 1997.

     The Company believes that the funds available under the facility, trade
     credit, and internally generated funds will be sufficient to satisfy the
     Company's requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for at
     least the next twelve months.  However, the Company is seeking a possible
     acquisition of one of its





                                       10
<PAGE>   12
     competitors. If that should occur, it would require that the funds for the
     proposed acquisition of the competitor  would be generated through 
     additional security offerings or additional debt.


Inventory Management

     The Company believes that it is necessary to maintain a large inventory of
     finished goods and raw materials to adequately service its customers. The
     Company attempts to maintain an aggregate of  $6.0 million in inventory.
     In accordance with the Company's strategic raw material purchasing
     policies and in order to obtain preferential pricing, the Company waives
     the rights to suppliers inventory protection agreements ( including price
     protection and inventory return rights).  The Company bears the risk of
     increases in the prices charged by its suppliers' and decreases in the
     prices of raw materials held in its inventory or covered by purchase
     commitments. If prices for products held in the finished goods inventory
     of the Company decline or if prices for raw materials required by the
     Company decline, or if new technology is developed that renders obsolete
     products distributed by the Company and held in inventory, the Company's
     business could be materially adversely affected.

Seasonality

     The Company generally experiences a relative slowness in sales during the
     summer months, which may adversely affect the Company's third and fourth
     fiscal quarter results in relation to sequential quarter performance.

Inflation

     The Company believes that inflation has not had a significant impact on
     the Company's operations. Historically, the Company has been successful in
     transferring to its customers increases in its manufacturing and other
     costs resulting from inflation by means of price increases.

Forward-Looking Statements

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of  Financial Condition and the
     Results of Operations, and other sections of this Form 10-Q contain
     "forward-looking statements" about the Company's prospects for the future,
     such as its ability to generate sufficient working capital, its ability to
     continue to maintain sales to justify capital expenses, its ability to
     generate additional sales to meet business expansion, and its ability to
     generate funds to effect an acquisition.  Such statements are subject to
     certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ
     materially from those projected, including availability of raw materials,
     availability of thermal facsimile, computer, laser and color ink jet paper,
     to the cyclical nature of the industry in which the Company operates, the
     potential of  technological changes which would adversely affect the need
     for the Company's products, and price fluctuations which could adversely
     impact the large inventory required in the Company's business.  Parties are
     cautioned not to rely on any such forward-looking beliefs or judgments in
     making investment decisions.
