NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The interim financial statements as of March 26, 1994 and for the 13
week periods ended March 26, 1994 and March 27, 1993 are unaudited;
however, such interim statements reflect all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial position and the results of operations for the
interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year. The interim financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the
year ended December 25, 1993.
2. Average common and common equivalent shares utilized in computing
first quarter earnings per share include approximately 3,423,000 and
3,191,000 shares in 1994 and 1993, respectively, as a result of
applying the treasury stock method to outstanding stock options.
3. In February 1994, the Company completed the acquisitions of L. E.
Muran Co., Inc., a Boston-based contract stationer, and Yorkship
Press, Inc., a contract stationer servicing Philadelphia and southern
New Jersey. The Company issued 1,557,164 shares of common stock in
connection with these acquisitions. These acquisitions were accounted
for on a "pooling of interests" basis. The Consolidated Balance Sheet
as of December 26, 1993 has been restated to include the financial
position of the combined companies. Results of operations for
the 13 weeks ended March 26, 1994 includes the results of operations
of the combined companies. Results of operations and financial
position prior to December 26, 1993 have not been adjusted due to
immateriality. An adjustment to increase retained earnings as of
December 26, 1993 in the amount of $12,414,000 has been made.
4. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 13 weeks ended March
26, 1994 and March 27, 1993 do not include noncash financing
transactions of $2,096,000 and $2,119,000, respectively, relating to
additional paid-in-capital associated with tax benefits of stock
options exercised. In addition, the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows for the 13 weeks ended March 26, 1994 and March 27, 1993 do not
include noncash financing transactions of $3,879,000 and $1,884,000,
respectively, associated with accreted interest on convertible,
subordinated notes.

Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales increased 71% from $582,115,000 in the first quarter of 1993 to
$994,845,000 in the first quarter of 1994. Comparable store sales increased
34% for the first quarter of 1994. The balance of the sales increase was
attributable to the 66 new stores and the 12 contract stationer warehouses
acquired subsequent to the first quarter of 1993. The Company opened eleven
stores in the first quarter of 1994, bringing the total number of stores open
at the end of the first quarter to 362, compared with 297 stores at the end of
the first quarter of 1993. The Company also operated 5 delivery centers and 12
contract stationer warehouses at the end of the first quarter of 1994 compared
to 5 delivery centers at the end of the first quarter of 1993. The Company
expects to combine its contract stationer warehouses and delivery centers in
the future. All of the contract stationer warehouses were acquired subsequent
to the first quarter of 1993. Comparable store sales in the future may be
affected by competition from other stores, the opening of additional stores, or
expansion of contract stationer business in existing markets, and economic
conditions.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 23.3% during the first
quarter of 1994, and 23.0% during the comparable quarter in 1993. The increase
was primarily a result of purchasing efficiencies gained through vendor volume
discount programs that increased as purchasing levels continued to increase.
Additionally, the Company benefited from leveraging occupancy costs through
higher average sales per store. These gains were partially offset by lower
gross margins resulting from an increase in sales of lower margin business
machines and computers. Gross profit as a percentage of sales is higher in the
contract stationer portion of the business than the retail store portion as a
result of significantly fewer business machines and computers being sold
through the contract stationer portion.
Store and warehouse operating and selling expenses as a percentage of
sales were 16.0% in the first quarter of 1994, compared with 15.9% in the
comparable period in 1993. Store and warehouse operating expenses, consisting
primarily of payroll and advertising expenses, have increased in the aggregate
due to the Company's expansion program and due to selling expenses incurred by
contract stationers as well as somewhat higher operating expenses incurred by
contract stationers. While the majority of these expenses vary proportionately
with sales, there is a fixed cost component to these expenses such that, as
sales increase within a given market area, store and warehouse operating and
selling expenses should decrease as a percentage of sales. This benefit may
not be fully realized, however, during periods when a large number of new
stores are being opened, as new stores typically generate lower sales than the
average mature store, resulting in higher operating and selling expenses as a
percentage of sales for new stores. This percentage is also affected when the
Company enters large metropolitan market areas where the advertising costs for
the full market must be absorbed by the small number of stores initially
opened. As additional stores in these large markets are opened,
7

advertising costs, which are substantially a fixed expense for a market area,
should decrease as a percentage of sales. The Company has also continued a
strategy of opening stores in existing markets. While increasing the number of
stores increases operating results in absolute dollars, this may have the
effect of increasing expenses as a percentage of sales since the sales of
certain existing stores in the market may initially be adversely affected.
Pre-opening expenses decreased from $1,605,000 in the first quarter of 1993 to
$1,259,000 in the comparable period in 1994. Pre-opening expenses currently
are approximately $125,000 per store and are predominately incurred during a
six-week period prior to the store opening. These expenses consist principally
of amounts paid for salaries and supplies. Since the Company's policy is to
expense these items during the period in which they occur, the amount of
pre-opening expenses in each quarter is generally proportional to the number of
new stores opened.
General and administrative expenses have increased as a percentage of
sales from 2.7% in the first quarter of 1993 to 2.8% in the comparable period
in 1994. General and administrative expenses include, among other costs, site
selection expenses and store management training expenses, and therefore vary
with the number of new store openings in that quarter and the next quarter. The
Company's commitment to improving the efficiency of its computer systems
resulted in an increase in general and administrative expenses in the first
quarter of 1994; however, the Company believes the systems investment will
provide benefits in late 1994 and beyond. General and administrative expenses
also increased with the acquisitions of the contract stationers, as this
portion of the office products industry typically has a higher expense
component than retail stores. Additionally, there are some duplicative
expenses incurred as a result of the acquisitions. These increases have been
partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales for the Company's retail store operations, primarily as a
result of the Company's ability to increase sales without a proportionate
increase in corporate expenditures.
The Company incurred net interest expense of $3,242,000 in the first quarter of
1994, as compared to $681,000 in the first quarter of 1993 primarily due to
$185,000,000 raised in November 1993 via a public offering of zero coupon,
convertible, subordinated notes.
The Company recorded goodwill amortization of $1,269,000 in the first quarter
of 1994 as compared to $15,000 in the 1993 comparable quarter. The increase in
goodwill amortization was attributable to the contract stationer acquisitions
which occurred subsequent to the first quarter of 1993. The increase in the
effective income tax rate for 1994 was due to nondeductible goodwill
amortization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since the Company's store sales are substantially on a cash and carry basis,
cash flow generated from operating stores provides a source of liquidity to the
Company. Working capital requirements are reduced by vendor credit terms,
which allow the Company to finance a portion of its inventory. The Company
utilizes private label credit card programs. This allows the Company to expand
its retail sales without the burden of additional receivables since the
programs are administered and financed by financial services companies.
Sales made from the contract stationer warehouses are made under regular
commercial credit terms, where the Company carries its own receivables. As the
Company expands into servicing additional large companies in the contract
stationer portion of its business, it is expected that a greater portion of the
Company's receivables will be carried.
In the first quarter of 1994, the Company added 11 stores as compared to 13
stores for the comparable 1993 period. As stores mature and become more
profitable, and as the number of new stores opened in a year becomes a smaller
percentage of the existing store base, cash generated from operations will
provide a greater portion of funds required for new store fixed assets,
inventories and other working capital requirements. Cash generated from
operations will be affected by an increase in receivables carried without
outside financing, and an increase in inventory at the stores and warehouses as
the Company continues to expand its efforts in computers and business machines.
This has resulted in net cash provided (used) in operating activities of
$(1,044,000) and $70,587,000 in the first quarter of 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Capital expenditures are also affected by the number of stores
and warehouses opened or acquired each year and the increase in computer and
other equipment at the corporate office required to support such expansion.
Cash utilized for capital expenditures was $41,619,000 and $17,290,000 in the
first quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively.
During the three months ended March 26, 1994, the Company's cash balance
decreased approximately $39,623,000 and long- and short-term debt increased by
approximately $1,359,000. The decrease in cash was primarily attributable to
payments for fixed assets and inventories for new stores as well as payments
for inventory mix changes resulting from an increase in business machines and
computer sales.
The Company plans to open a total of approximately 55 to 60 additional stores
during the remainder of 1994. Management estimates that the Company's cash
requirements, exclusive of pre-opening expenses, will be approximately
$1,200,000 for each additional store. In addition, management estimates that
each new store will require pre-opening expenses of approximately $125,000.

The Company has a credit agreement with its principal bank and a syndicate of
commercial banks to provide for a working capital line of $200,000,000. The
credit agreement provides that funds borrowed will bear interest, at the
Company's option, at either 3/4% over the LIBOR rate or at a base rate linked
to the prime rate. The Company must also pay a fee of 1/4% per annum on the
unused portion of the credit facility. The credit facility expires in
September 1996. In addition to the credit facility, the bank has provided a
lease facility to the Company under which the bank has agreed to purchase up to
$15,000,000 of equipment from the Company and lease such equipment back to the
Company. As of March 26, 1994, there were no borrowings outstanding under the
working capital line and the Company has utilized approximately $7,711,000 of
this lease facility.
The Company's management is continually reviewing its financing
options. Although the Company has the ability to finance its planned expansion
through 1994 from cash on hand, funds received from the LYONS debt offering in
November 1993, funds generated from operations, and funds borrowed under the
Company's credit facilities, the Company will also consider alternative
financing, such as the issuance of equity, debt or convertible debt, if market
conditions make them financially attractive alternatives for funding the
Company's short-term or long-term expansion. The Company has acquired its
contract stationer businesses with cash and the issuance of common stock. The
Company's financing requirements in the future will be affected by the number
of new stores, delivery centers and contract stationer warehouses opened or
acquired.
