Independent Auditor's Report Board of Directors United Computer Supplies, Inc. and United Computer Supplies-East, Inc. Itasca, Illinois We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of United Computer Supplies, Inc. and United Computer Supplies-East, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and the related combined statements of income and accumulated deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the 2001 combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of United Computer Supplies, Inc. and United Computer Supplies-East, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and the combined results of its operations and its combined cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9, the Companies have experienced significant net losses over the past two years, resulting in a material deterioration in the Companies working capital position. In addition, the Companies are not in compliance with certain covenants of their loan agreements, causing them to be in technical default of these agreements. The above-described conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companies' ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2001 and the Six Months Ended February 28, 2002 (Unaudited) ================================================================================ Note 1 - Nature of Operations The Companies manufacture and distribute paper products and business forms to be used with computers or computer-related applications. The Companies also manufacture and distribute paper rolls and related products to be used in retail applications, such as cash registers and gas station pumps. Products are sold primarily to distributors located throughout the midwest and eastern sections of the United States. Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Combined Financial Statements The combined financial statements include the accounts of United Computer Supplies, Inc. and United Computer Supplies-East, Inc. (collectively known as UCS or the Company), which are both commonly controlled and managed. All intercompany transactions and intercompany account balances have been eliminated in preparation of the combined financial statements. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out method. Depreciation and Amortization The Company's policy is to depreciate or amortize the cost of property and equipment over the estimated useful lives of the assets as indicated in the following tabulation by use of the straight-line method. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over their useful lives, or the applicable lease term, if shorter.
Years ----- Building and improvements 40 Leasehold improvements 10 Production equipment 5-10 Office equipment 5-10 Automobiles 5
Income Taxes The Companies have elected to be taxed as S corporations under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the financial statements do not include a provision for corporate income taxes. -5- United Computer Supplies, Inc. and United Computer Supplies-East, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2001 and the Six Months Ended February 28, 2002 (Unaudited) ================================================================================ Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Management Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Note 3 - Inventories

Notes to Combined Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2001 and the Six Months Ended February 28, 2002 (Unaudited) ================================================================================ Note 5 - Short-Term Borrowings As of December 31, 2001, UCS was obligated under a line of credit agreement with a bank for $3,470,541. Borrowings under this line of credit bear interest as stated in the credit agreement (9.5% as of December 31, 2001) and are secured by substantially all of the company's assets. As of December 31, 2001, there were no additional available borrowings on this line of credit and UCS was in default of loan and security agreement (Note 6). Note 6 - Long-Term Debt
(Unaudited) 2001 2002 ----------- ----------- Mortgage loan payable, bank, principal and interest paid monthly at 9.5% and expires in July 2001.* $ 3,065,998 $ 3,055,972 Note payable, bank, principal and interest paid monthly at 9%, final balloon payment due June 2005.* 887,941 787,805 Note payable, bank, principal and interest paid monthly at 8.25%, final balloon payment due November 2004.* 907,827 869,887 Note payable, stockholder, with interest payments at 10% due in monthly installments.

* The notes payable and line of credit (Note 5) contain certain covenants relating to the indebtedness. In addition, the agreement requires UCS to maintain compliance with a minimum tangible net worth target and other financial ratios. UCS is not in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2001, and therefore is in default on the loan and security agreement. Because of this default, the long-term portion of the obligations covered by this agreement has been reclassified as a current liability on the balance sheet. Interest expense on the stockholder note payable was $34,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. -7- United Computer Supplies, Inc. and United Computer Supplies-East, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2001 and the Six Months Ended February 28, 2002 (Unaudited) ================================================================================ Note 7 - Operating Leases UCS occupies three buildings under separate operating leases. The leases provide for minimum monthly lease payments ranging from $12,500 to $31,000 throughout the lease terms and expire between August 2004 and May 2006. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay for certain maintenance and taxes as defined in the lease agreements. The leases contain renewal options, which are not assured of being exercised and therefore are not included in the schedule below. Total rental expenses for these leases amounted to $725,835 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year, as of December 31, 2001: Fiscal Year Ending December 31: 2002 $ 736,067 2003 743,047 2004 572,777 2005 227,101 2006 95,518 ----------- Total Minimum Payments Required $ 2,374,510 ===========
Note 8 - Major Customer For the year ended December 31, 2001, sales to a major customer amounted to more than 10% of total sales. The amount of revenue from such customer amounted to approximately $4,700,000. The receivable balance for this customer was $566,003 as of December 31, 2001. -8- United Computer Supplies, Inc. and United Computer Supplies-East, Inc. Notes to Combined Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2001 and the Six Months Ended February 28, 2002 (Unaudited) ================================================================================ Note 9 - Going Concern and Subsequent Sale of Assets UCS has experienced significant net losses for the past two years, resulting in a material deterioration in the Company's working capital position. In addition, as described in Note 6, the Company is not in compliance with certain covenants of their loan agreements, causing them to be in technical default of these agreements. The combination of the events described above raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. On March 19, 2002, the company sold inventory and substantially all of its machinery and office equipment to an unrelated party for $2,907,346. Note 10 - Other Cash Flow Information Cash payments for interest amounted to $1,200,541 for the year ended December 31, 2001. -9-
