AMERICAN TONERSERV CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   The Company

     Organization and Business Activity:

     Managed Maintenance Systems, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware on May 30, 1995. During 1995, the Company changed its name to “Q MATRIX, Inc.” In January 2005, the Company changed its name to AMERICAN TONERSERV CORP. (the “Company”). The Company is a leading marketer of compatible and original-equipment-manufactured toner cartridges.  The Company is strategically building a nationwide organization to efficiently serve the printing needs of small- and medium-sized businesses by executing on key organic growth and acquisition initiatives designed to build sales distribution across the country.  In the more than $6.0 billion recycled printer cartridge and printer services industry, the Company offers top-quality, environmentally friendly products and local service teams to its customers.  The Company seeks to grow both organically and through strategic acquisitions. The Company is headquartered in Santa Rosa, California.

2.   Going Concern

     These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of business.

     The Company had a loss of $5,096,617 and had negative cash flows from operations of $687,552 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and had an accumulated deficit of $30,533,865 and a working capital deficit of $5,216,786 at September 30, 2010. Cash flows from operations are insufficient to sustain the current level of operations.  Thus, the Company has insufficient funds to meet its financial obligations as they become due.

     Management believes it will be successful in financing its operations for the next twelve months as it continues to implement its organic growth strategies. It is management's objective to seek additional capital and funding sources to primarily finance its organic growth strategy. Additionally, management is attempting to defer payments on its notes payable to help finance its operations. However, until such time as financing is obtained, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to finance its operations.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company raised $1,280,197 through notes payable, $650,000 through convertible notes payable and $280,000 through the issuance of common stock from exercised warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.  Although the Company will continue to seek additional cash resources through equity issuances in order to position the Company for possible future opportunities, there can be no assurance that funds will be available on an economic basis to the Company.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

3.   Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Unaudited Interim Financial Information:

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to state fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), but omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the American TonerServ Corp. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

     Principles of Consolidation:

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American TonerServ Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Optima Technologies, LLC, Tonertype, LLC, NC TonerServ, LLC, and iPrint Technologies, LLC and Alpha Laser, LLC (collectively referred to as the "Company"). Alpha Laser accounts are included through the termination date of May 21, 2010.  American TonerServ Corp. is the sole member of Optima Technologies, LLC, Tonertype, LLC, NC TonerServ, LLC, Alpha Laser,LLC and iPrint Technologies, LLC which are Delaware Limited Liability Companies. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Estimates:

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory and Inventory Reserve:

     Inventory consists of finished goods and raw materials which is primarily toner cartridges and service parts and is stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the average cost method. An inventory reserve has been set up to account for obsolete inventory.

    (Continued)

Deferred financing costs:

      Costs incurred by the Company relating to securing debt (including payments to individuals for the guaranty of debt) are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method.  When a note is paid in full, any unamortized financing costs are removed from the related accounts and charged to interest expense.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred $502,052 in financing costs paid to both third parties and related parties, in connection with the guaranty and issuance of certain debt instruments.  Amortization of deferred financing costs charged to interest expense was $802,226 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Stock Based Compensation:

     The Company has one stock incentive plan (the "Plan"), administered by the Board of Directors, which provides for the granting of options and shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and other service providers of the Company. Options granted under this Plan generally are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of a common share at the date of grant and typically vest over four years from the date of grant.  The total number of shares authorized to be granted under the 2008 Plan was 15,000,000 at September 30, 2010. 

     The estimated fair value of equity-based awards, less expected forfeitures, is amortized over the awards' vesting period on a straight-line basis.  Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations relating to stock options for the nine month periods ended September  30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 was $248,487 and $667,539, respectively.  The Company has not recorded income tax benefits related to equity-based compensation expense as deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance.

In calculating compensation related to stock option grants, the fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions. No stock options were granted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010:

Dividend yield                           None               None

Expected volatility                  115.0%-117.94%     89.01%-100.25%     

Risk-free interest rate               1.82%-2.58%         0.46%-2.71%

Expected terms (years)                  5.3-9.1            5.5-6.3

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

3.   Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (Continued)

      Stock Based Compensation (continued):

The Company calculates the expected volatility for stock-based awards using the historical volatility of its own stock.  The risk free interest rates were determined by the rates of the 5 and 7 year treasury bills on the grant date of the options. 

     The Company records the fair value of restricted stock and options granted to non-employees as deferred compensation at the date of issuance and recognizes compensation pro rata over the service period of the restricted stock or options.  The compensation is adjusted for the change in fair market value at the end of each period.                              

     Net Loss Per Share:

     Net loss per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per common share are computed similar to basic loss per share except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include additional common shares from the assumed exercise of options, non vested restricted stock, warrants and conversion of convertible debt, if dilutive. Dilutive loss per share is the same as basic loss per share in all periods, since there is a net loss in each period making the impact of outstanding options and warrants anti-dilutive.

     The following securities, which include options, non vested restricted stock, warrants, convertible debt, preferred stock and notes related to acquisitions, could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future:

                                              September 30,   September 30,

                                                  2010            2009

                                              ------------    ------------                               

     Potential equivalent shares excluded     122,646,092      70,687,286

                                              ===========      ==========

     Convertible Debt Securities:

     The Company has issued convertible debt securities with non-detachable conversion features.  The Company accounts for such securities on the balance sheet as a component of the overall fair value of the host securities.  The Company estimates fair value based on the intrinsic value of common stock by determining the difference between the total shares converted at fair value and the total shares converted at a 20% discount, which is the estimated discount of a PIPE offering.

     The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing method was used to value the warrants and detachable warrants.  A per share price of $0.05 was attached to the warrants which represents the fair value of common stock at September 30, 2010, a 117.94% volatility rate and risk free interest rate of 0.42% correlating to the estimated lives ranging from 1.5 to 2 years, based on an estimated PIPE occurring in the third quarter of 2011.

     As the warrant contracts must be settled by the delivery of registered shares and the delivery of the registered shares are not controlled by the Company and the number of warrants is variable, at September 30, 2010, the estimated fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as a warrant liability on the balance sheet.

     Segment:

     Based on the Company’s integration and management strategies, the Company operates in a single business segment.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, all material revenues have been derived from domestic operations.

4.  Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

    Adopted

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic 820”): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 10-06”). ASU 10-06 revises two disclosure requirements concerning fair value measurements and clarifies two others. It requires separate presentation of significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the reasons for such transfers. It will also require the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within Level 3 on a gross basis rather than a net basis. The amendments also clarify that disclosures should be disaggregated by class of asset or liability and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques should be provided for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. The Company’s disclosures about fair value measurements are presented in Note 3: Fair Value Measurements. These new disclosure requirements were adopted by the Company during the current period, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of this standard will not have a material impacted on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

On January 12, 2010, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Galt Asset Management, LLC ("Galt"). The Company has delivered to Galt four 10% Convertible Promissory Notes for a total of $450,000 which has been advanced to the Company by Galt.

The Galt Notes are payable interest only through October 31, 2011 at which time the notes will be payable in full. The 10% Convertible Promissory Notes will be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock beginning in 2011, unless there is an event of default or a change of control of the Company, in which case the notes would become immediately convertible. Until May 1, 2011, the conversion price of the notes will be $0.125. After that date, the conversion price of the notes will be the lower of $0.125 per share or 80% of the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock for the twenty trading days prior to the conversion date. The beneficial conversion feature of this note was valued at $245,455 and was recorded as additional paid in capital and a discount to the related debt.

8. Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable (continued)

The Galt Notes are secured by the customer lists and other intangible assets of two of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries: Optima Technologies, LLC and NC TonerServ, LLC.

As additional consideration for entering into the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Galt 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $204,545 which was recorded as a discount to the notes.  

On January 14, 2010, the Company borrowed $500,000 from an accredited investor in exchange for a Convertible Promissory Note ("Note").  The Note bears interest at 10% per annum and is payable interest only through January 14, 2011 at which time the Note will be payable in full.  The Note is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.125. The beneficial conversion feature of this note was valued at $206,572 and was recorded as additional paid in capital and a discount to the related debt.  The Note is personally guaranteed by Chuck Mache, the Company's President and CEO and Ryan Vice, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer.

As additional consideration for the Note the Company issued to the investor 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $154,929. The investor also received warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.125 per share through January 14, 2015, which were valued at $138,499.  The value of the additional consideration is recorded as a discount to the note. 

On March 5, 2010, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from the James E. Berger and Joann E. Berger Trust (the "Berger Trust").  The funds from this loan are being held by a bank to secure stand-by letters of credits from that bank and have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements as restricted cash (Note 5).  Previously, the Berger Trust had deposited the funds directly with the bank as security for the stand-by letters of credit.  The Promissory Note is due on March 5, 2011 and bears interest at 10% per annum.  One-half of the interest on the notes is payable on a monthly basis, and the remaining interest is payable at maturity along with the principal. As additional consideration for the loan, the Berger Trust received warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.05 per share, which were valued at $148,483.  The warrants are exercisable through March 5, 2015. This loan is also personally guaranteed by William Robotham, director.  As compensation for this personal guaranty, Mr. Robotham received warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.05 per share, which were valued at $174,375.  The warrants are exercisable through March 5, 2015. The warrants issued to the Berger Trust and to Mr. Robotham were valued as of the grant date.  The Berger Trust warrants were recorded as a note discount valued at $148,483.  Mr. Robotham’s warrants were capitalized to deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the life of the loan.  Amortization relating to these warrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $101,719.

12.  Lines of Credit:

     The Company had two facilities in place to provide Standby Letters of Credit ("SBLC's") to secure standard terms from certain vendors. The amount available for SBLC's from these facilities was $1,365,000.  These lines were guaranteed by two directors of the Company and were set to expire on April 1, 2010 for the Company.  On March 5, 2010, the Company issued a note to an investor for $1,000,000 in return for $1,000,000 cash which is classified as restricted cash.  This investor received 2,000,000 warrants at an exercise price of $0.05 per share for this note.  This note was guaranteed by a director of the Company, who also received 2,000,000 warrants at an exercise

price of $0.05 per share. The note is due in full on March 5, 2011. The additional $365,000 in SBLC’s guaranteed by a director, were extended through

December 31, 2010.  In consideration for the extension, if or when there is a sale of either the Company or iPrint LLC, the director will be paid by the Company $365,000.

The Company has available a $2,500,000 revolving line of credit secured by all of the assets of the Company.  The availability of the line is based on eligible accounts receivables.  The interest rate on the outstanding balance was eight and one-half percent per annum as of September 30, 2010. This line matures in April, 2011.

13.  Commitments and Contingencies

     From time to time the Company may be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business, primarily vendor disputes. Management believes such claims will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position.

     The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2009 and the related notes, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Three Months Ended September, 2010 and 2009

     Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 ("Q3 2010") was $8,513,838 as compared to $7,760,601 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 ("Q3 2009"). The increase in revenue in Q3 2010 was primarily due to the revenue growth associated with the Company’s organic growth strategies.  Revenues from the sale of toner cartridges increased by $757,844 for three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to the revenue associated with the Company’s organic growth strategies. Revenues from service decreased by $4,607 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.                              

     Gross Profit. Gross profit for Q3 2010 increased to $2,003,742 from $2,000,083 in Q3 2009.  The gross profit margin in Q3 2010 was 23.5% compared to a gross profit margin for Q3 2009 of 25.8%. The Company's gross margins decreased compared to Q3 2009 primarily due to the change in product mix from compatible cartridges to OEM cartridges. Additionally, an increase in the cost of cores had an impact in reducing our gross margins compared to Q3 2009. 

     Salaries and Wages. Salaries and wages expenses were $723,583 for Q3 2010 compared to $808,314 in Q3 2009. The Q3 2010 decrease was due primarily to staff reductions at corporate headquarters.  

     Professional Fees and Services. Professional fees and services expenses were $96,518 in Q3 2010 compared to $222,734 in Q3 2009. This decrease was primarily due to tighter controls on our legal and accounting fees and lower costs associated with our investor relations program which was terminated in February 2010.     

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $681,884 for Q3 2010 compared to $611,972 in Q3 2009.  The increase in Q3 2010 was primarily due to the additional sales personnel hired during late 2009 related to the Company’s organic growth strategies and increased commissions paid out due to increased sales subject to commissions.  

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $508,739 in Q3 2010 as compared to $490,420 in Q3 2009. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to overhead associated with the operations of Alpha Laser which began in April 2009 and terminated in May 2010.  

     Amortization Expense.  Amortization expense was $173,268 in Q3 2010 as compared to $181,616 in Q3 2009.  The decrease was due to the asset purchase option agreement with Alpha Laser in April 2009. This option agreement was terminated in May 2010.

     Net Loss from operations. The net loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $180,250 compared to a net loss of $314,973 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease in the net loss of $134,723 for Q3 2010 was primarily related to a decrease in professional fees of $126,216. 

     Other (Expense) Income. During the three month period ended September 30, 2010, there was an increase of $326,930 in interest expense as compared to three month period ended September 30, 2009 as a result of the costs related to the issuance of notes payable and the guaranty of Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC’s).     

     Net Loss. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,292,843 compared to a net loss of $1,028,777 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The $264,066 increase in the net loss over the prior year was primarily related to the increase in interest expense as a result of the costs related to the issuance of notes payable and the guaranty of Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC’s) offset somewhat by the drop in professional fees.  

     The Company believes that it will continue to have net losses for the foreseeable future due to the amortization of customer lists from acquisitions and other non-cash related expenses such as the change in the fair value of warrant liability.

     Net Loss per Share. The net loss per share in Q3 2010 and Q3 2009 was $0.01.  

     EBITDA. EBITDA for Q3 2010 was a negative $412,443 compared to a negative EBITDA of $473,271 for Q3 2009.  The $60,828 reduction in negative EBITDA was primarily the result of the decrease in professional fees.

     Adjusted EBITDA.  Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2010 was $130,879 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $61,200 for Q3 2009.  The increase of $69,676 was primarily the result of the decrease in professional fees.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

     Revenue. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 ("YTD 2010") was $25,428,103 as compared to $21,493,092 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 ("YTD 2009"). The increase of $3,935,011 in revenue in YTD 2010 was primarily due to the revenue growth associated with the Company’s organic growth strategies. Revenues from the sale of toner cartridges increased by $3,951,445 for nine months ended September 30, 20010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to the revenue growth associated with the Company’s organic growth strategies. Revenues from service decreased by $16,434 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit for YTD 2010 decreased to $6,115,177 from $6,215,305 in YTD 2009. The gross profit margin in YTD 2010 was 24.0% compared to a gross profit margin for YTD 2009 of 28.9%. The Company's gross margins decreased due to an increase in the cost of compatible cartridges as the cost for the core components increased.  There were lower margins associated with sales to customers acquired from iPrint which have a high concentration of OEM cartridge sales. Additionally, we reduced our pricing in June 2009 to a significant customer to achieve a preferred vendor status.  This status results in significantly increased sales to this customer but at a reduced profit margin.

     Salaries and Wages. Salaries and wages expenses were $2,371,290 for YTD 2010 compared to $2,557,927 in YTD 2009. The decrease was due primarily to staff reductions at corporate headquarters.  

     Professional Fees and Services. Professional fees and services expenses were $552,717 in YTD 2010 compared to $1,006,043 in YTD 2009. This decrease was primarily due to compensation of $365,576 for the issuance of warrants to certain directors of the Company in YTD 2009 and tighter controls on the legal and accounting costs.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $2,130,726 for YTD 2010 compared to $1,712,472 in YTD 2009. The increase was primarily due to the additional sales personnel hired during late 2009 related to the Company’s organic growth strategies and increased commissions paid out due to increased sales subject to commissions.  

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $1,538,861 in YTD 2010 as compared to $1,477,950 in YTD 2009. General and Administrative expenses increased due primarily to overhead expenses associated with the operations of Alpha Laser which began in April 2009.  

     Amortization Expense. Amortization expense was $533,716 in YTD 2010 as compared to $535,107 in YTD 2009.

     Net Loss from operations. The net loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $1,012,133 compared to a net loss of $1,074,194 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in the net loss of $62,061 for YTD 2010 was primarily due to the decrease in professional fees partially offset by an increase in sales and marketing costs.  

     Other (Expense) Income. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, there was an increase of $1,361,419 in interest expense as compared to nine month period ended September 30, 2009, due primarily to the costs related to the issuance of notes payable and the guaranty of Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC’s). There was a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the iPrint note modification of $1,454,245 for the YTD 2010 primarily related to the warrants issued in connection with the restructuring.  There was a loss on disposal of business assets related to the termination of the Alpha Laser agreement of $117,539 in YTD 2010.

     Net Loss. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $5,096,617 compared to a net loss of $1,874,843 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The $3,221,774 increase in the net loss over the prior year was primarily related to a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the iPrint note modification of $1,454,245 for the YTD 2010 and an increase of $1,361,419 in interest expense for the FYE 2010 due to the amortization of issuance costs and debt discounts related to the issuance of notes payable and the guaranty of Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC’s).

     Net Loss per Share. The net loss per share for YTD 2010 was $0.06 compared to a net loss of $0.02 for YTD 2009. 

     EBITDA. EBITDA for YTD 2010 was a negative $1,923,975 compared to EBITDA a negative $81,350 for YTD 2009. The $1,842,625 decrease in EBITDA was primarily the result of the loss on extinguishment of debt related to the iPrint note modification of $1,454,245 in YTD 2010. 

     Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for YTD 2010 was $30,615 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $345,616 for YTD 2009.

This decrease of $315,001 was primarily the result of a decrease in stock related compensation.

Non-GAAP Measures:

     EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented in this report are a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

26

     EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash related expenditures.  We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity. We believe investors may also find these measures meaningful, given how our management makes use of them. The following is a discussion of our use of these measures.

     We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure and compare the performance of our Company. We also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure performance for determining division-level compensation.  We also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a measurement to manage cash flow from our divisions to the corporate level and to determine the financial health of each division. We also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions and to evaluate whether to incur capital expenditures.

    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

     *   They do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures and contractual commitments;

     *   They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

     *   They do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

     *   Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

     *   Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

     Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in business growth or to reduce our indebtedness. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA only as supplements.

     We have presented EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 to reflect the exclusion of all stock related compensation and gain or loss recognized on the fair value of convertible debt and other one-time expenditures, including the loss on extinguishment of debt related to the iPrint note modification. This presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 30, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficit of $5,216,786 including restricted cash, cash and equivalent balances of $1,007,747 compared to a working capital deficit of $4,291,912 at December 31, 2009. This deficit was primarily related to short term note obligations which will be due over the course of the next twelve months.  The Company is seeking to renegotiate the terms of a portion of this debt or to exchange equity securities for a portion of the debt.  The Company believes that it will be successful in addressing its short term working capital requirements through various strategies and will continue to use its best efforts to meet the conditions in Note 8 to the financial statements; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful.

     Accounts receivable increased from $3,795,301 at December 31, 2009 to $3,853,529 at September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to increased revenues associated with the increase in toner sales.

     Accounts payable and accrued expenses, which consist primarily of amounts due to third party service providers and toner suppliers, increased from $4,242,676 at December 31, 2009 to $4,594,563 at September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increased sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 resulting in an increase in the cost of toner cartridges and corresponding payables along with stretching some general and administrative payables. 

     The Company entered into no derivative financial instrument arrangements for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

     During the first nine months of 2010, the Company raised $650,000 through the issuance of convertible notes payable, $1,100,000 in notes payable to accredited investors, $280,000 through issuance of common stock from exercised warrants, a shareholder loan of $50,000, a director loan of $100,000 and $30,199 in equipment financing. 

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company used $687,552 in cash for operations. The cash flows were used primarily to cover the Company's continued losses from operations.  The Company currently is in the process of restructuring the majority of its debt and is aggressively cutting costs. The Company believes that if it is successful in its debt restructuring and cost cutting measures then it will begin to generate sufficient cash from existing operations to meet its capital requirements during the next twelve months; however, there are no assurances that the Company will be able to complete its debt restructuring and cost cutting plans.  If the debt restructuring and cost cutting measures do not generate sufficient cash to meet its capital needs, Management believes it will be successful in obtaining debt or equity financing for its operations for the next twelve months.  However, until such time as financing is obtained, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to finance its operations.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company received $1,771,103 in cash from financing activities. These cash flows were primarily from $1,280,000 for the issuance of notes payable, $650,000 for the issuance of convertible notes payable, net proceeds of $370,541 from the its revolving line of credit offset, $280,000 from the issuance of stock for exercised warrants, offset by $821,788 in payments relating to notes payable and $142,718 relating to repayment of shareholder advances.

     On July 8, 2010 the Berger Trust exercised the right, represented by warrants, to purchase 5,200,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company at a temporarily reduced price of $0.05 per share for an amount of $260,000.

Two other warrant holders exercised their rights, represented by warrants, to purchase 200,000 shares each of the Common Stock of the Company at a temporarily reduced price of $0.05 per share for an amount of $10,000 each.  These proceeds are being used for operating purposes.

Business Outlook, Risks and Uncertainties

     Economic Uncertainties 

     Current economic slowdown, financial market conditions, and the political environment may affect the Company's ability to raise financing. The Company will be required to raise additional capital to establish business operations. The uncertainty about the Company's ability to raise financing makes it difficult to predict the Company's results for fiscal year 2010 and its ability to continue as a going concern.

     Insufficient Working Capital 

     As of September 30, 2010, the Company had a net working capital deficit of $5,216,786 which includes $4,198,541 of debt that matures in the next twelve months. This deficit was primarily related to short term note obligations which are due over the next twelve months.  The Company is seeking to renegotiate the terms of a portion of this debt or to exchange equity securities for a portion of the debt.  The Company believes that it will be successful in addressing its short term working capital requirements through various strategies. The Company has inadequate financial resources and insufficient working capital to sustain its business activities as they currently are. We believe that we can achieve profitability through an aggressive organic growth plan to increase sales, increasing operational efficiencies and by aggressively reducing overhead costs. We have already begun implementing parts of our organic growth plan and cost reductions; however, we do not know the overall impact that these efforts may have on the business. The Company is currently spending approximating $75,000 more cash per month than is being generated from operations due to debt service payments, however, the growth of its sales has helped the Company to finance operating deficits through its revolving line of credit. 

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company raised $1,930,000 from notes payable and convertible notes payable from accredited investors and $280,000 from issuance of common stock from the exercise of warrants. The Company has extended principal payments on over $1.0 million of current debt and is continuing its efforts to extend further debt. The Company estimates that it will need to raise an additional $1,000,000 of cash during the next twelve months and extend principal payments of a minimum of $3,000,000 of debt to meet its minimum capital requirements. There is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern, absent raising additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the required financing or renegotiating terms or converting a portion of its short term obligations into equity.

     In April 2008, the Company entered into a line of credit with a financial institution, which is secured by all of the assets of the Company.  The amount of the line of credit is $2,500,000.  The availability of the line is determined by eligible accounts receivables.  The balance due was $2,122,359 at September 30, 2010 and the approximate availability under the line was $375,000 at September 30, 2010.

     The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of business.  If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

     The Company does not use financial instruments for trading purposes and is not a party to any leverage derivatives. To the extent that the Company has or continues to issue debt obligations outside of the course of its normal operations, the Company's business and results of operations may be materially affected by changes in interest rates and certain other credit risk associated with its operations.

Other Matters

     In the event the Company experiences substantial growth in the future, the Company's business and results of operations may be materially affected by changes in interest rates and certain other credit risk associated with its operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

     The Company has no off balance sheet financing arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

     Not required.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

     Except as stated below, there were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2010 that have not been disclosed in reports on Form 8-K.

     During July 2010, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of warrants held by three accredited investors with exercise prices from $0.18 and $0.30 per share to $0.05 per share. In July 2010, the Company issued 5,600,000 shares to the accredited investors for $280,000 upon the exercise of warrants at the reduced exercise price.

     In connection with these sales, the Company relied upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"). The securities were sold to persons who were already shareholders of the Company. The Company reasonably believes that the investors are "Accredited Investors," as defined under the Act, who had access to complete information concerning the Company. No advertising or other general solicitation was used in connection with the offering. A restrictive legend was placed on the certificates representing the securities issued.
