IMPRESO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Impreso, Inc., a Delaware corporation (referred to collectively with its subsidiaries as the “Company”), is the parent holding company of TST/Impreso, Inc. (“TST”), a manufacturer and distributor to dealers and other resellers of paper and film products for commercial and home use in domestic and international markets, Hotsheet.com, Inc., the owner and operator of the Hotsheet.com web portal, and Alexa Springs, Inc. a natural spring water bottler. Currently, TST has one wholly owned subsidiary, TST/Impreso of California, Inc., which was formed to support the activities of the paper converting segment of the Company’s business.

2. INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management, the unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of November 30, 2004, and its results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2004 and November 30, 2003. Results of the Company’s operations for the interim period ended November 30, 2004, 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 unaudited Interim Condensed 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 “Form 10-K”), for the year ended August 31, 2004 (“Fiscal 2004”). Accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Form 10-K.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment to SFAS No. 123”. This statement provides alternative methods of transition for companies that elect to voluntarily change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company currently does not intend to change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation, but will adhere to the disclosure requirements of the Statement. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements for the third quarter of Fiscal 2003.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” an Interpretation of ARB 51, which expands upon and strengthens existing accounting guidance concerning when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity. A variable interest entity (“VIE”) does not share economic risk and reward through typical equity ownership arrangements; instead, contractual or other relationships distribute economic risks and rewards among equity holders and other parties. Once an entity is determined to be a VIE, the party with the

5


Table of Contents

controlling financial interest, the primary beneficiary, is required to consolidate it. FIN 46 also requires disclosures about VIEs that the Company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its balance sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. In accordance with the standard, a financial instrument that embodies an obligation for the issuer is required to be classified as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS 150 is effective for financial statements entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In November 2004, FASB issued SFAS No, 151 “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No.43 Chapter 4” (“FAS 151”). FAS 151 requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling be recognized as current-period charges rather than being included in inventory regardless of whether the costs meet the criterion of abnormal as defined in ARB 43. FAS 151 is applicable for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, The Company will adopt this standard beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on its financial statements as such costs have historically been expensed as incurred.

In December 2004, the Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No, 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” which addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair value accounting for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of an entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for the Company beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2004, FASB issued SPAS No., 123 (Revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment: an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95” (“FAS l23R”). FAS l23R sets accounting requirements for “share-based” compensation to employees, requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and disallows the use of the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock compensation. FAS l23R is applicable for all interim and fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. This statement is effective for the Company beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and is not expected to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

4. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally on a first-in, first-out basis) or market and include material, labor and factory overhead.

5. ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In March 2004, the Company began a lease with an unrelated party for a warehouse and manufacturing facility in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Due to the additional warehouse and manufacturing capacity resulting from the new lease, as of November 30, 2004, the Company no longer utilizes buildings located in Kearneysville, West Virginia and Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and is attempting to locate buyers for these facilities.

For the three month period ended November 30, 2004, the Company ceased depreciating the buildings and building improvements and has reclassified the net book value of the land, building and building improvements in the amount of $2.1 million to assets held for sale.

The Company has determined the plan of sale criteria in the statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, ‘Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets’ has been met. Accordingly, the assets held for sale are classified as current and are carried at the lower of their carrying or fair value, less costs to sell. There were no write downs of inventory as a result of this valuation.

The line of credit, as amended, has a restrictive covenant requiring the maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth, as defined in the agreement. One of the notes payable contains restrictive covenants on current and debt to worth ratio, and the payment of cash dividends. As of November 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

8. STOCK OPTIONS

The Company accounts for the Incentive Stock Option Plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. No stock-based compensation costs are reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation.

9. Legal Matters

On September 18, 2002, TST filed a lawsuit against a vendor in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas — Dallas Division. TST’s general claim is that the vendor breached a Distributor Agreement entered into with TST in several material respects, including the vendor’s late delivery of paper products, the vendor’s delivery of defective product, and the vendor’s failure to properly credit TST’s accounts based upon these and other alleged breaches. The vendor responded to TST’s demand for arbitration by generally denying TST’s claims and asserting a counterclaim seeking to recover disputed accounts receivable and damages related to TST’s alleged interference with the vendor’s relationship with its lender. The Trial has been moved to September 2005.

TST is a defendant in a suit filed in Fiscal 2003 for the collection of sums due under two promissory notes. The liability of $577,145 is included on the Company’s balance sheet as long term debt. TST prevailed in its motion to stay the adversary proceeding and to compel arbitration in Dallas, Texas under the terms of the parties purchase agreement. No date for arbitration has been set. TST asserts that liability does not exist because of fraud and contractual breaches in connection with the agreements.

In April 2004, TST filed a lawsuit in the 68th judicial district of Dallas County against two former outside sales representatives and a competitor, alleging breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with existing and prospective business relations, and civil conspiracy. The lawsuit seeks to enforce the duties of loyalty owed to TST by its sales agents, and also protect TST from any unfair business practices of TST’s competitors. The competitor filed a counter claim alleging business disparagement and tortious interference with existing and prospective business relations. The parties to the litigation are actively conducting discovery.

On July 9, 2004, TST received a Preference Claim demand from the Trustee of the estate a former
customer in the amount of $1.2 million. No suit has been filed to date. This demand is a gross preference demand and the Company believes subsequent to a full preference analysis and the Company’s utilization of

10

various defenses, any liability should be lowered to a materially reduced amount.

The Company’s Corporate Income Tax Returns for the fiscal years ending August 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003, are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The IRS has proposed adjustments to the fiscal years under examination, and the matter has been sent to the Appeals Division of the IRS. The Company does not believe that the proposed adjustments will be upheld by the Appeals Division.

On November 30, 2004, TST filed a lawsuit in the Dallas County Judicial District against a company that operated as our customer and as a vendor, alleging breach of contract seeking to collect an outstanding accounts receivable and against an employee of the company alleging libel and slander. The defendant was allowed an extension to file its answer.

10. Subsequent Events

As a result of the loss of key customers representing sales of approximately 29%, or $30 million, of Fiscal 2004 revenue, in January 2005, the Company began a plan to downsize its operations and reduce costs to return to profitability. The key elements of the plan are better utilization of space created by reduced operations; leasing available space; liquidating buildings that are vacant as a result of east coast consolidations; eliminating or reducing current work force and payroll; reducing inventories by $5 to $7 million; raise finished goods pricing as necessary to recoup raw material price increases; and replace lost sales as quickly as possible.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies described below is those the Company considers critical in preparing its consolidated financial statements. These are policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on historical experience, the Company’s observation of trends in the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate and available at the time the estimates are made. However, as described below, these estimates could change materially if different information or assumptions were used. The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment or estimation than other accounting policies.

Accounts Receivable (doubtful accounts) Reserves

The Company provides for losses on accounts receivable based upon their current status, historical experience and management’s evaluation of existing economic conditions. Significant changes in customer profitability or general economic conditions may have a significant effect on the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts.

Revenue Recognition

TST’s sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers. TST is reasonably assured a majority of the sales are collectible upon shipment due to its credit policies and collection methods. For those accounts TST is not reasonably assured of collection the Company reserves against doubtful accounts based upon historical experience and management’s evaluation of existing economic conditions. Hotsheet.com, Inc. generates its revenue by click through fee advertising revenues and commissions earned. Click through fees are generated when traffic is sent from the Hotsheet.com website, via a link, to a vendors website. Commissions are generated when the linked traffic makes purchases. The revenue is recognized upon receipt. For the three

11


Table of Contents

months ended November 30, 2004, Alexa Springs, Inc. had not generated sales.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method. Reserves for slow moving, obsolete products, or bad (damaged) products are based on historical experience, acquisition activities, and analysis of inventories on hand. The Company evaluates, and if necessary, adjusts reserves quarterly.

The Company records reductions in revenue when products are returned. Returns and allowances are monitored based on a historical percentage of sales. All returns must be approved by the Company prior to the product being returned, and in some instances a restocking fee is charged to the customer. The Company also monitors reasons for return, such as quality, shipping errors or ordering errors.

Commissions and Rebates

The Company reserves commissions and rebates paid to certain customers based on specific contractual agreements. These reserves are calculated based upon sales by customer, and adjusted monthly to reflect increases and decreases in each customer’s sales and payments of commissions and rebates.

Contingent liabilities.

The Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims related to wage and hour/labor, securities, environmental, product and other matters, and is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made when losses are determined to be probable and after considerable analysis of each individual issue. These reserves may change in the future due to changes in the Company’s assumptions, the effectiveness of strategies, or other factors beyond the Company’s control.

Results of Operations for the Interim Periods Ended November 30, 2004 and November 30, 2003.

Net Sales—Net sales decreased from $26.7 million in the three months ended November 30, 2003 (“First Quarter 2004”) to $20 million in the three months ended November 30, 2004 (“First Quarter 2005”) , a decrease of $ 6.7 million or 25.3%. Net sales decreased in First Quarter 2005, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, as a result of the loss of key customers.

Gross Profit-— Gross profit decreased from $3.4 million in the First Quarter 2004 to $980,000 in First Quarter 2005, a decrease of 71%. Gross profit margin for First Quarter 2005, decreased to 4.9 % as compared to 12.6% for First Quarter 2004. The decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin for First Quarter 2005 is a result of higher raw material costs and the loss of key customers.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses—SG&A expenses remained stable at $2.3 million in First Quarter 2004 and 2005. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 8.5% in the First Quarter 2004 to 11.4% in the First Quarter 2005. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales for First Quarter 2005, is due to the decrease in net sales.

Interest Expense—Interest expense decreased from $337,000 in First Quarter 2004, to 239,000 in the First Quarter 2005. The decrease of 29% is due to the reduction of inventories which reduced our borrowings under our line of credit and the sale of the California buildings in April 2004.

Income Taxes-— Income tax expense decreased from $286,000 in First Quarter 2004 to a tax benefit of $393,000 in the First Quarter 2005. The decrease in income tax expense for First Quarter 2005, as compared

12

to the corresponding period of the prior year is a result of the decrease in net income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital increased to $15.6 million as of November 30, 2004, from $12.7 million at August 31, 2004. This represented an increase of 23%.

Effective December 14, 2004, TST amended its loan agreement with a commercial financial corporation to increase its available borrowings under its line of credit. The amended agreement provides for a $15 million line of credit and an inventory sub-limit of $15 million. The amended loan is secured by, among other things, inventory, trade receivables, and equipment.

Available borrowings under this line of credit, are based upon specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. As of November 30, 2004, we did not have adequate capital available to operate our business, and therefore expanded our revolving line of credit from $10 million to $15 million.

We believe that the funds available under the loans encumbering our Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois and West Virginia plants, 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 an increased demand for products TST manufactures or significant growth of Hotsheet.com, Inc., or Alexa Springs, Inc., our water bottling subsidiary, may require us to obtain additional capital to add new operations or manufacturing facilities. If that should occur, we anticipate that the funds required 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.

As of November 30, 2004, we did not own derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” does not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Inventory Management; Raw Materials of TST

We believe that it is necessary for TST to maintain a sufficient inventory of finished goods and raw materials to adequately service its customers. In the past inventory levels had been increased to facilitate the introduction of new brands and expanded product lines. From July 2004, our inventory began gradually increasing due to decreasing sales and our receipt of raw materials ordered in advance due to extended international shipping timeframes.

TST bears the risk of increases in the prices charged by its suppliers and decreases in the prices of raw materials held in its inventory. If prices for products held in its finished goods inventory decline, if prices for raw materials required by it increase, or if new technology is developed that renders obsolete products distributed and held in inventory by TST, the Company’s business could be materially adversely affected.

TST purchases raw paper, coated thermal facsimile paper, coated technical paper, carbon and carbonless paper (consisting of a wide variety of weights, widths, colors, sizes and qualities), transparency film, packaging and other supplies in the open market from a number of different companies around the world. We believe that TST has adequate sources of raw material supplies to meet the requirements of its business. We believe that TST has a good relationship with all of its current suppliers.

Market Conditions

The primary product produced by the Company is continuous feed business forms. Competitors in the marketplace have aggressively solicited existing TST customers. Management believes that the market for business forms, as well as its share of the market, will continue to decline in Fiscal 2005.

As a result of the loss of key customers representing sales of approximately 29%, or $30 million, of Fiscal 2004 revenue, in January 2005, the Company began a plan to downsize its operations and reduce costs to return to profitability. The key elements of the plan are better utilization of space created by reduced operations; leasing available space; liquidating buildings that are vacant as a result of east coast consolidations; eliminating or reducing current work force and payroll; reducing inventories by $5 to $7 million; raise finished goods pricing as necessary to recoup raw material price increases; and replace lost sales as quickly as possible.

If selling prices for products manufactured by us cannot increase in relation 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.

Although TST has specialized in select markets and has emphasized service and long-term relationships to meet customer needs more effectively, there are no long-term contractual relationships between it and any of its customers. There can be no assurance that purchases by these customers will remain at significant levels. TST may in the future be dependent on these or other significant customers. The loss of any other significant customer could materially adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company also believes that its entrance into the bottled water business is significant as we begin the diversification of our product offerings out of continuous computer paper. The introduction of water into our paper business is an ideal companion sale as the distribution model for our water products is substantially similar to our paper products. Many of the customers who are currently purchasing business imaging supplies from us also buy bottled water. The weight and dimensions of a pallet of water and paper, and therefore the costs, are also similar. The introduction of water should expand our sales to our existing customers. The bottled water business has experienced phenomenal growth in the past few years. We plan to effectively compete in the wholesale market by offering competitive price points on our water products.

Seasonality

TST may be subject to certain seasonal fluctuations in that orders for products may decline over the summer months. If the market for finished goods decreases, then the adverse impact of the seasonal fluctuations on the Company will be greater.

Hotsheet.com revenues are partially generated by retail sales which are typically stronger during the Christmas holiday season.

The bottled water business is subject to seasonal fluctuations with its demand cycle greatest in summer months.

Forward-Looking Statements

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this Form 10-Q contain “forward-looking statements” about our prospects for the future, including but not limited to 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

14


Table of Contents

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 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.

Item 3. 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. Our subsidiaries do not have supply contracts with any of their foreign vendors. All foreign vendors are paid in United States currency. In addition, TST’s 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, 2004. 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.

The estimated fair value of our total long-term fixed rate and floating rate debt approximates carrying value. Based upon our market risk sensitive debt outstanding at November 30, 2004, there was no material exposure to our financial position or results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     Evaluation of controls and procedures

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s amendments to its disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings. No material changes to controls have occurred in the current quarter.
