6. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company has identified significant accounting policies that, as a result of
the judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying
accounting standards and operations involved, could result in material changes
to its financial condition or results of operations under different conditions
or using different assumptions. The Company's most critical accounting policies
are related to the following areas: revenue recognition, long-lived assets and
concentrations of credit risks. Details regarding the Company's use of these
policies and the related estimates are described in the Company's Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002 filed with the SEC. There have been no
material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies that impacted the
Company's financial condition or results of operations in the three months ended
November 30, 2002 ("First Quarter 2003").

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE INTERIM PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2002 AND
NOVEMBER 30, 2001

Net Sales---Net sales increased from $25.4 million in the three months ended
November 30, 2001 ("First Quarter 2002"), to $31.8 million for the First Quarter
2003, an increase of 25.4% as a result of sales to new customers due to the
acquisition of United Computer Supplies, Inc. ("United") and fewer competitors
in the marketplace.

Gross Profit---Gross profit increased from $2.6 million in the First Quarter
2002 to $3.2 million in the First Quarter 2003, an increase of approximately
24.9%. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of increased sales.
Our gross profit margin remained stable at 10.2% for the First Quarters of 2003
and 2002.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses--- SG&A expenses for First Quarter
2003 were $2.4 million, or 7.4% of net sales, as compared to $2.1 million, or
8.2% of net sales for First Quarter 2002. SG&A expense increased in dollars in
the First Quarter 2003 as compared to the First Quarter 2002 due primarily to
the integration of new personnel from the acquisition of United. SG&A decreased
as a percentage of net sales in the First Quarter of 2003 due to our acquisition
of United's customers and leveraging existing fixed costs.

Interest Expense---Interest expense increased from $452,000 in the First Quarter
2002 to $484,000 in the First Quarter 2003, an increase of $31,000, or
approximately 6.9%. The increase in interest expense was the result of increased
borrowings to finance increased inventory.

Other Expense (Income)---On October 16, 2001, TST received approximately $1
million in a United States class action lawsuit involving international and
domestic manufacturers' alleged attempt to fix jumbo roll thermal facsimile
paper prices in the United States. TST was not a named plaintiff and did not
participate in the lawsuit. The award is reported as other income in First
Quarter 2002. The award skews net income results for First Quarter 2003 as
compared to First Quarter 2002. If this other income is excluded from the
results for First Quarter 2002, First Quarter 2003 reflects an increase in net
income from operations as compared to the corresponding period of the prior
year.



8




Income Taxes---Our income tax expense for the First Quarter 2003 decreased to
$193,000, as compared to $435,000 for the corresponding period of the prior
year. The decrease resulted primarily from the effect of the litigation
settlement in the First Quarter 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital increased to $12.3 million at November 30, 2002 from $11.9
million at August 31, 2002. This represented an increase of 2.9%.

Borrowings under TST's line of credit increased from $17.8 million at August 31,
2002 to $22.6 million at November 30, 2002, an increase of $4.8 million, or
26.7%. The increased borrowing primarily resulted from TST's increasing
inventory.

In April 2002, TST entered into an agreement with a bank for a two-year renewal
of its revolving line of credit. The new agreement increases the line from $22
million to $25 million. The loan is secured by, among other things, inventory,
trade receivables, equipment and a personal guarantee of Marshall Sorokwasz, our
Chairman of the Board and President, 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 .25% (5.0% at November
30, 2002), are based upon specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable
and inventories. As of November 30, 2002, there was a $2.0 million borrowing
capacity remaining under the $25 million revolving line of credit. The revolving
credit line will mature in May 2004.

We believe that the funds available under the loans encumbering our California,
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. 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, 2002, we did not own derivative or other financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We do not use financial
instruments and, therefore, the implementation of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" did not have a material impact on our financial position or results
operations.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT; RAW MATERIALS OF TST

We believe that it is necessary for TST to maintain a large inventory of
finished goods and raw materials to adequately service its customers. In recent
years inventory levels had been increased to facilitate the introduction of new
brands and expanded product lines. At the beginning of Fiscal 2002, management
implemented a program to reduce inventory. From August 31, 2001 to August 31,
2002, TST reduced its inventory levels by $4.35 million. This is in addition to
the depletion of $3 million of inventory acquired in the purchase of the assets
of United. Although inventories rose in the First Quarter 2003, management
intends to continue reducing inventory levels through the fiscal year ending
August 31, 2003 ("Fiscal 2003"). However, downward pressures on raw material
prices could compress the market for our existing inventory and have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations of TST, or restrain management's
attempts at reducing inventory.



9




In recent years we have depended primarily on international vendors of raw
materials. One of the largest vendors from Asia has suffered a financial crisis
and this has created supply disruption and a tighter raw material market for the
Company. The Company in recent months has shifted its supply chain from
international to domestic sources, which historically charge higher prices for
raw materials. This shift could have a material adverse effect on the results of
operation by making our finished goods pricing uncompetitive.

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 OF TST

The primary product produced by the Company's recent acquisitions are continuous
feed business forms. Management believes that the market for business forms,
which declined in 2002, will continue to decline in 2003.

September 11, 2001's impact on the economy also impacted the net sales of TST;
however, the exact impact on the results of operations is not ascertainable.
Although net sales in Fiscal 2002, as compared to Fiscal 2001, increased
approximately 28%, the Company expected net sales to have been significantly
higher due to the acquisition of United in March 2002 and reduction in the
market place of competing distributors of the Company's products. Management
believes that the slowed economy will continue to effect the Fiscal 2003 results
of operations.

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. Four
customers accounted for more than 41% of TST's sales in the First Quarter 2003.
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.

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.



10






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

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 expenditures, 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.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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.
Simultaneously with the initiation of the lawsuit, TST requested that its
disputes with the vendor be submitted to arbitration through the American
Arbitration Association's Dallas, Texas office. 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. No date has yet been set for arbitration or litigation.

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, 2002. 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, 2002, there was no material exposure to our
financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 4. 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 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. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the
date of their evaluation.
