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

RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS FOR THE INTERIM PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999, AND 1998

Net Sales---Net sales increased from $14.3 million in the three months ended
November 30, 1998, ("First Quarter 1999"), to $16.5 million for the three months
ended November 30, 1999 ("First Quarter 2000"), an increase of 15.7%, as a
result of the increased sales of branded products.

Gross Profit---Gross profit increased from $1.7 million in the First Quarter
1999 to $1.9 million in the First Quarter 2000, an increase of approximately
10.7%. The increase of gross profit was primarily the result of increased sales.
Our gross profit margin decreased to 11.5% for the First Quarter 2000, as
compared to 12% for the corresponding period of the prior year. The decreased
gross profit margin resulted from increased raw material costs which were not
fully passed on to our customers.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses--- SG&A expenses increased from
$1.3 million in the First Quarter 1999, to $1.5 million in the First Quarter
2000, an increase of 14.2%. SG&A as a percentage of net sales remained constant
at 9%. SG&A expenses increased as a dollar amount during this period, as
compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due to increased
marketing costs, such as slotting fees and entertainment expenses.

Interest Expense---Interest expense increased from $182,000 in the First Quarter
1999 to $243,000 in the First Quarter 2000, an increase of $62,000, or
approximately 33.9%. The increase was primarily attributable to financing
acquisitions of property and equipment, and an increase in inventory which
increased the outstanding borrowing under our line of credit.

Income Taxes---Our income tax expense for the First Quarter 2000 decreased to
$51,176, as compared to $86,055 for the corresponding period of the prior year.
The decrease in income tax expense was the result of a deferred tax benefit
applied to the fiscal year ending August 31, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital increased to $8.8 million at November 30, 1999, from $8.7
million at August 31, 1998. This represented an increase of 1.0%, primarily
attributable to a $3.4 million increase in our inventory, partially offset by an
approximate $1.4 million increase in accounts payable, and a $ 2.8 million
increase in borrowing under our line of credit.

In May 1999, we entered into an agreement with a bank for a two-year renewal of
our revolving line of credit. The loan is secured by, among other things,
inventory, trade receivables, equipment and a personal guarantee of Marshall
Sorokwasz, Chairman of the Board and President of our company and trustee of a
trust which is a principal shareholder of our company. Available borrowings
under this line of credit, which accrues interest at the prime rate of interest
plus 1/4% (8.5% at November 30, 1999), are based upon specified percentages of
eligible accounts receivable and inventories. As of November 30, 1999, there was
a $3.7 million borrowing capacity remaining under the $13 million line of
credit. The renewed loan has more favorable terms, including an increase in the
line from $12 million to $13 million, a decreased interest rate ranging from
prime plus 1/2% to prime plus 1/4% based upon financial performance, and an
increased percentage of borrowing based on inventory.

On November 22, 1999, we entered into a loan agreement with Valley Bank-East,
National Association to co-fund the construction of a new building and the
refinance of the mortgage of our existing facility in West Virginia. On December
30, 1999, we entered into an agreement with the West Virginia Economic
Development Association on the same project. The new building will be
constructed on our property adjacent to our West Virginia plant, will be
approximately 50,000 square feet, and will be used to store inventory which is
currently stored at a public warehouse location. The additional debt we will
incur at the conclusion of the construction will be approximately $870,000 at
the anticipated completion date of May 2000.

We believe that the funds available under the loan and loan commitment for the
addition to our West Virginia facility, the revolving credit facility, cash and
cash equivalents, trade credit, and internally generated funds will be
sufficient to satisfy our requirements for working capital and capital
expenditures for at least the next twelve months. Such belief is based on
certain assumptions, including the continuation of current operations and no
extraordinary adverse events, and there can be no assurance that such
assumptions are correct. In addition, expansion of our operations due to demand
for the new types and brands of product we manufacture may require us to obtain
additional capital to add new manufacturing facilities. We anticipate if that
should occur, the funds required for the new facilities would be generated
through securities offerings or additional debt. There can be no assurance that
any additional financing will be available if needed, or, if available, will be
on acceptable terms.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are not exposed to market risks such as foreign currency exchange rates, but
are exposed to risks such as variable interest rates. Market risk is the
potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates. We do
not have supply contracts with any of our foreign vendors. All foreign vendors
are paid in United States currency. In addition, our international sales of
finished goods are insignificant. Accordingly, there are not sufficient factors
to create a material foreign exchange rate risk; therefore, we do not use
exchange commitments to minimize the negative impact of foreign currency
fluctuations.

We had both fixed-rate and variable-rate debts as of November 30, 1999. The fair
market value of long-term variable interest rate debt is subject to interest
rate risk. Generally the fair market value of variable interest rate debt will
decrease as interest rates fall and increase as interest rates rise.

                                       8
<PAGE>

The estimated fair value of our total long-term fixed rate and floating rate
debt approximates fair value.

As of November 30, 1999, we did not own derivative or other financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Based upon our market risk sensitive debt outstanding at November 30, 1999,
there was no material exposure to our financial position or results of
operations.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT; RAW MATERIALS

We believe that it is necessary to maintain a large inventory of finished goods
and raw materials to adequately service our customers. Because we are currently
manufacturing and distributing new brands and types of products, our raw
material and finished goods inventory requirements have increased over prior
years. Therefore, we have substantially increased our inventory levels. In
addition, increasing international sourcing of raw materials has impacted
delivery cycles resulting in our expanding inventory to accommodate less
frequent, larger shipments. We bear the risk of increases in the prices charged
by our suppliers and decreases in the prices of raw materials held in our
inventory. If prices for products held in our finished goods inventory decline
or if prices for raw materials required by us decline, or if new technology is
developed that renders obsolete products distributed by us and held in
inventory, our business could be materially adversely affected.

MARKET CONDITIONS

During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, our suppliers began increasing the
price of raw materials resulting in our implementing a price increase for our
finished goods. As a result of another price increase by our suppliers in the
First Quarter 2000, we began the implementation of another price increase on
finished goods.

Management believes that raw material paper costs will continue to increase into
the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and then stabilize. Although the finished
goods price increase in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 was successfully
implemented, resistance by customers to finished goods price increases in the
First Quarter 2000 has created downward pressure on finished goods selling
prices, which has resulted in lower profit margins. If selling prices for
products manufactured by us cannot increase in relationship to raw material cost
increases, or if prices for products manufactured by us decline as a result of
market pressures, our results of operations could be materially adversely
affected.

SEASONALITY

We may be subject to certain seasonal fluctuations in that orders for products
may decline over the summer months. However, we do not believe that such
fluctuations have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

YEAR 2000

Total costs of remediation of all information and non-information technology was
approximately $180,000. No adverse events occurred on January 1, 2000.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On December 28, 1999, we received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market that we
are in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(2), minimum market value of
public float.

On March 7, 2000, at our annual shareholders meeting, the shareholders will vote
on a proposal to create a parent holding company, named Impreso.com, Inc., which
will trade under the symbol ZCOM. Impreso.com, Inc. will hold the shares of
TST/Impreso, Inc. and a sibling subsidiary, Hotsheet.com, Inc.

The purpose of this transaction is to organize our different business segments
into separate companies which we believe will enable us to more rapidly respond
to opportunities and to more easily expand our HotSheet web portal site
business.

On December 15, 1999, we executed a consulting contract with Direct Marketing
Consultants, Inc., to locate and engage suitable experts, employees, and
investors in Hotsheet.com. We initially intend to raise $10 million, through
private placements, for approximately 10% to 15% of the equity of Hotsheet.com,
Inc. to finance the operations and growth of the HotSheet web portal. There can
be no assurance, however, that such financing can be obtained, or if available,
will be on acceptable terms.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and the Results of
Operations and the sections of this Form 10-Q contain "forward-looking
statements" about our prospects for the future, such as our ability to generate
sufficient working capital, our ability to continue to maintain sales to justify
capital expenses, and our ability to generate additional sales to meet business
expansion. 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
we operate, the potential of technological changes which would adversely affect
the need for our products, price fluctuations which could adversely impact the
large inventory we require, loss of any significant customer, and termination of
contracts essential to our business. Parties are cautioned not to rely on any
such forward-looking statements or judgments in making investment decisions.
