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 $1,874,843 and had negative cash flows from operations of $349,563 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and had an accumulated deficit of $24,135,545 and a working capital deficit of $4,558,870 at September 30, 2009. 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 and acquisition strategies. It is management's objective to seek additional capital and funding sources to finance its acquisition strategy and future 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.

     For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company raised $2,185,000 through the issuance of preferred shares; issuance of convertible notes; the exercise of previously outstanding warrants; and the exchange of previously outstanding convertible debt for equity. 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"). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements are not included herein. 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, 2008.

      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; iPrint Technologies, LLC and Alpha Laser LLC (collectively referred to as the "Company"). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

      Estimates:

     The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. An inventory reserve has been set up to account for obsolete inventory.

      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.

AMERICAN TONERSERV CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

3. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

     Stock Based Compensation (continued):

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, 2009.

     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 three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $ 667,539 and $119,453, respectively, and $120,301 and $277,516, 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:

In the past, the Company has calculated the expected volatility for stock-based awards using the historical volatility for its peer group public companies which has been 35.0% because sufficient historical data did not yet exist for the Company's stock. As of October 1, 2008, 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.

      Stock Based Compensation (continued):

     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 by increasing the net loss for the periods to include the effect of both preferred stock dividends declared and paid and using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is 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 and 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 antidilutive.

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

    September 30,    September 30, 
    2009    2008 
   -----------   ----------- 
 
Potential equivalent shares excluded     70,687,286    45,677,529 
     ==========    ========== 

      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 of the conversion feature based on the intrinsic value of its 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 private offering.

      Warrants and Detachable Warrants:

     The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing method was used to value the warrants and detachable warrants. A per share price of $0.20 was attached to the warrants which represents the fair value of common stock at September 30, 2009, a volatility index ranging from 89.01% to 100.25% and risk free interest rates ranging from 0.46% to 2.71% based on the estimated lives ranging from 1.50 to 4.75 years, based on a potential offering occurring in the third quarter of 2010.

      Warrants and Detachable Warrants (continued):

     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 not fixed, at September 30, 2009, 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, 2009 and 2008, all material revenues have been derived from domestic operations.

4. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

    Adopted

     On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted accounting standards in accordance with Business Combinations, including that the purchase method be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This standard defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control instead of the date that the consideration is transferred. This requires an acquirer in a business combination, including business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisition), to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. It also requires the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from certain contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition- date fair values. Additionally, this standard requires acquisition-related costs to be expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services are received instead of including such costs as part of the acquisition price. Accounting standards for Business Combinations is reflected in our consolidated financial statements and did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

4. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards (continued)

    Adopted (continued)

     Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted accounting standards for “Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”. This standard applies to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from certain contingencies and requires (i) an acquirer to recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date, an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period otherwise the asset or liability should be recognized at the acquisition date if certain defined criteria are met; (ii) contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination be recognized initially at fair value; (iii) subsequent measurements of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies be based on a systematic and rational method depending on their nature and contingent consideration arrangements be measured subsequently in accordance with the provisions of these accounting standards; and (iv) disclosures of the amounts and measurement basis of such assets and liabilities and the nature of the contingencies. This accounting standard is reflected in our consolidated financial statements and did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

     In April 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting standards for the “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. These standards amend the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The intent of the position is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset. The accounting standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This accounting standard is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued accounting standards for "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. These standards establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. These standards also changes the way the consolidated statement of operations is presented. It requires consolidated net income or loss to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of operations, of the amounts of the consolidated net income or loss attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. These accounting standards were effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

4. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards (continued)

    Adopted (continued)

     In June 2008, the FASB ratified certain accounting standards as it relates to “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”. These standards provide a two-step approach for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. These standards are effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted an accounting standard for Subsequent Events. This accounting standard established a general standard of accounting for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, this standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

     On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted accounting standards for “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”. These standards provide additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance for identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This guidance is necessary to maintain the overall objective of fair value measurements, which is that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The adoption of these accounting standards had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

     On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted accounting standards relating to “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. These standards amend existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The adoption had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

4. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards (continued)

    Adopted (continued)

     On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.

     On the effective date of FASB Statement No. 168, the Codification will supersede all then -existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non- SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. The adoption had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

    Issued

     In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting standards related to amendments to certain FASB Interpretations. This accounting standard amends the FASB interpretation as it relates to the “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This amendment becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2010 and we do not anticipate that it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

9. Acquisition

     On April 8, 2009, the Company entered into an Independent Sales Partner (ISP) Agreement and an Asset Purchase Option Agreement that would give the Company an option to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Mid-America Environmental, LLC ("MAE"), doing business as Alpha Laser Services and Alpha Imaging Solutions of Evansville, Indiana. MAE provides printer and copier supplies, equipment and service to the greater Evansville area.

     The Company entered into this business combination to expand its geographic penetration, their customer relationships and expertise in both the printer and copier industries. This also is consistent with the Company’s growth strategy.

     By entering into these agreements, the Company takes over the strategic management and guidance of MAE and will provide both administrative and logistical support including volume purchasing power, operational expertise and related efficiencies. This will allow MAE to focus primarily on building local customer relationships, while offering the benefits of a nationwide cartridge and printer service provider.

     The independent sales partner agreement is for a term of five years, and provides, among other things, that the Company will pay MAE a monthly commission at the rate of 40% of the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Asset Purchase Option Agreement) of MAE.

     The Asset Purchase Option Agreement provides that the Company will have the option to purchase certain assets, and assume certain liabilities, of MAE during a period of five years. The Company paid MAE $499,600, of which $449,600 was paid in the form of two promissory notes, and the remaining $50,000 was paid in the form of 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock which was valued at $0.25 per share on the agreement date. In the event that the Company exercises its option to purchase the covered assets and assume the covered liabilities of MAE, the consideration for the assets will be the amount paid for the option, subject to the adjustments described below.

     The 7% promissory note, in the amount of $337,800, is payable in equal monthly installments over a 60 month period. The 5% promissory note (the "Contingent Note"), in the amount of $111,800 is payable in fifty-eight (58) monthly installments beginning in June 2009. The principal amount of the Contingent Note shall be increased or decreased on a quarterly basis by the amount which Adjusted EBITDA is above or below a targeted amount. The Contingent Note will also be reduced by the amounts paid as commissions under the independent sales agreement. The balance of these notes at September 30, 2009 was $425,787.

     The Asset Purchase Option Agreement also provides that three employees of MAE will be offered an opportunity to serve on the Company's Advisory Board and receive options to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock for serving on that board when certain performance criteria have been met. At September 30, 2009 these criteria had not been met.

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

     During the three months ended September 30, 2009, there were 1,725,000 options granted.

     As of September 30, 2009, there was approximately $871,341 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non -vested options granted under the plans, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.36 years, of which $108,170 is recorded as deferred compensation. During the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2009, a total of 1,110,736 and 3,777,673 options, respectively, vested with a total fair value of $116,692 and 417,636, respectively. No options were exercised during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009.

11. Credit Arrangements

     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, 2009. This line matures in April, 2011.

21



AMERICAN TONERSERV CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

11. Credit Arrangements (continued)

     The Company currently has 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 is $ 1,200,000. These lines are guaranteed by certain officers and directors of the Company. Draws on the letter of credit bear interest at 7.5% (5 percent over the prime rate) and are due and payable on December 31, 2009. At September 30, 2009, there was $1,200,000 in outstanding SBLC’s with certain vendors and there were no draws against these.

12. 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.

13. Subsequent Events

     Convertible notes issued in 2008 totaling $2,040,260 in connection with the acquisition of iPrint were interest only for the first twelve months, with an option to convert the notes into shares of common stock within the first twelve months, with principal and interest paid over the next twenty four months. In October 2009, the Company and the note holder verbally agreed to an extension of the maturity relating to these notes by extending the period of interest only payments an additional twelve months and giving the note holder an additional twelve months to exercise the conversion feature. As of November 16, 2009, the Company and the note holder have executed written documents to amend the terms of notes totaling $1,194,045. The Company is still in the process of securing the necessary documentation to amend the terms of the remaining $846,215 of notes.

     If all the notes were extended by one year the effect on the balance sheet would be a decrease in current portion of long term debt of approximately $917,000 and a corresponding increase in long term debt.

     The Company evaluated subsequent events through November 16, 2009, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, and determined that there are no additional material events which have occurred after the balance sheet date that would be deemed significant or require recognition or additional disclosure.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

     This Report contains statements that may contain forward-looking statements, concerning the Registrant's future operations and planned future acquisitions and other matters and the Registrant intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. Any statements that involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, belief, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using phrases such as "expects", or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", "estimates" or "intends", or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", could", "might", or "will" be taken to occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward looking statements". These forward-looking statements include statements relating to, among other things, the ability of the Registrant to continue as a going concern.

     The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

     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, 2008 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 30, 2009 and 2008

     Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 ("Q3 2009") was $7,760,601 as compared to $2,653,858 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 ("Q3 2008"). The increase in revenue in Q3 2009 was primarily due to the acquisition of iPrint Technologies, LLC, (“iPrint”) which occurred on October 31, 2008. Revenues from the sale of toner cartridges increased by $4,541,759 for three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to the revenue associated with the acquisition of iPrint. Revenues from service increased by $ 564,984 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 primarily due to additional service contracts that were won in 2009.

23



Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (continued)

     Gross Profit. Gross profit for Q3 2009 increased to $2,000,083 from $1,078,174 in Q3 2008. The gross profit margin in Q3 2009 was 25.8% compared to a gross profit margin for Q3 2008 of 40.6% . The Company's gross margins decreased compared to Q3 2008 due to the lower margins associated with sales to customers acquired from iPrint which have a high concentration of OEM cartridge sales which have lower margins than remanufactured cartridges.

     Salaries and Wages. Salaries and wages expenses were $ 808,314 for Q3 2009 compared to $717,517 in Q3 2008. The Q3 2009 increase was due to the increase in employees due to the iPrint acquisition offset by a reduction in headcount at corporate headquarters.

     Professional Fees and Services. Professional fees and services expenses were $222,734 in Q3 2009 compared to $217,143 in Q3 2008. These fees remained relatively the same during each of the quarters.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $611,972 for Q3 2009 compared to $ 237,333 in Q3 2008. The increase in Q3 2009 was primarily due to the additional sales personnel hired through the acquisition of iPrint, increased commissions paid out due to higher revenues and an increase in Independent Sales Partners (ISP’s) in 2009 from 2008. The iPrint acquisition brought on seventeen ISP’s and since then, the Company has increased that amount to forty ISP’s through an aggressive recruiting strategy.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $490,420 in Q3 2009 as compared to $ 460,065 in Q3 2008. General and Administrative expenses increased due to the overhead associated with the operations of iPrint.

     Amortization Expense. Amortization expense was $181,616 in Q3 2009 as compared to $155,224 in Q3 2008. The increase was due to the acquisition of assets from iPrint in October 2008 of $58,101 offset by a reduction in amortization from the Tonertype customer list of $37,564 as a result of a purchase price adjustment in December 2008.

     Other (Expense) Income. During the three month period ended September 30, 2009, there was an increase of $145,965 in interest expense as compared to three month period ended September 30, 2008 as a result of the issuance of notes in connection with the iPrint acquisition in 2008 and the issuance of notes in a private offering. There was an increase in income related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $41,739 for Q3 2009 versus Q3 2008. The Company did not recognize a gain or loss in Q3 2009 on the fair value of convertible debt which compared to an expense of $31,250 during Q3 2008.

     Net Loss from operations. The net loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $314,973 compared to a net loss of $ 709,108 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in the net loss of $394,135 for Q3 2009 was primarily related to the effect of the iPrint acquisition.

     Net Loss. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,028,777 compared to a net loss of $956,080 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in the net loss over the prior year

24



Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (continued)

     was primarily related to an increase in the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of approximately $291,000 and interest expense of $146,000 offset by the decrease in net loss from operations discussed above.

     Net Loss per Share. The net loss per share in Q3 2009 was $0.014 compared to a net loss of $ 0.015 in Q3 2008. The decrease in the net loss per share was primarily due to the acquisition of iPrint and an increased number of shares of common stock outstanding which occurred during the last six months of 2008 and in 2009.

     EBITDA. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for Q3 2009 was a negative $473,271 compared to a negative EBITDA of $584,006 for Q3 2008. The $110,735 improvement in EBITDA was primarily the result of the iPrint acquisition.

     Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, which represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash related expenditures, for Q3 2009 was $61,200 compared to a negative Adjusted EBITDA of $401,400 for Q3 2008. This improvement of $462,600 was primarily the result of the iPrint acquisition

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

     Revenue. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 ("YTD 2009") was $21,493,092 as compared to $8,106,084 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 ("YTD 2008"). The increase in revenue in YTD 2009 was primarily due to the acquisition of iPrint Technologies, LLC, (“iPrint”) which occurred on October 31, 2008. Revenues from the sale of toner cartridges increased by $11,720,414 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to the revenue associated with the acquisition of iPrint. Revenues from service increased by $1,666,594 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 primarily due to additional service contracts that were won in 2009.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit for YTD 2009 increased to $6,215,305 from $3,036,228 in YTD 2008. The gross profit margin in YTD 2009 was 28.9% compared to a gross profit margin for YTD 2008 of 37.5%. The Company's gross margins decreased due to the lower margins associated with sales to customers acquired from iPrint which have a high concentration of OEM cartridge sales.

     Salaries and Wages. Salaries and wages expenses were $ 2,557,927 for YTD 2009 compared to $ 2,074,177 in YTD 2008. The increase was due to the additional wages resulting from the iPrint acquisition of $424,959 and $113,884 in bonuses paid out to certain operations managers.

     Professional Fees and Services. Professional fees and services expenses were $1,006,043 in YTD 2009 compared to $948,270 in YTD 2008. This increase was primarily due to compensation of $365,576 for the issuance of warrants in exchange for personal guarantees by certain directors of the Company in 2009 offset by a reduction in stock related compensation of $265,311 paid to the Company’s former investment banker in 2008.

25



Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (continued)

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $1,712,472 for YTD 2009 compared to $ 717,540 in YTD 2008. The increase was primarily due to the additional sales personnel hired through the acquisition of iPrint, increased commissions paid out due to higher revenues and an increase in Independent Sales Partners (ISP’s) to forty in 2009 from three in 2008.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $1,477,950 in YTD 2009 as compared to $1,202,576 in YTD 2008. General and Administrative expenses increased due to the overhead associated with the operations of iPrint.

     Amortization Expense. Amortization expense was $535,107 in YTD 2009 as compared to $461,430 in YTD 2008. The increase was due to the acquisition of intangible assets from iPrint in October 2008 of $172,053 which was partially offset by a reduction in amortization from the Tonertype customer list purchase price adjustment of $111,354 in December 2008.

     Other (Expense) Income. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, there was an increase of $506,675 in interest expense as compared to nine month period ended September 30, 2008, as a result of the restructuring of the Brody Enterprises note, the issuance of notes in connection with the iPrint acquisition in 2008 and the issuance of notes in a private offering. There was an increase in income related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $409,056 for YTD 2009 versus YTD 2008 due to the decrease in the Company’s stock price that is used to value the warrants.

     Net Loss from operations. The net loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $1,074,194 compared to a net loss of $2,367,765 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in the net loss of $1,293,571 for YTD 2009 was primarily related to the effect of the iPrint acquisition.

     Net Loss. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $1,874,843 compared to a net loss of $3,408,006 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in the net loss over the prior year was primarily related to the increased gross profit from the acquisition of iPrint along with the implementation of cost cutting measures and improved operational efficiencies. The reduction in the net loss has reduced the amount of outside capital that the Company needs to raise to support its operations and existing debt service.

     Net Loss per Share. The net loss per share for YTD 2009 was less than $0.02 compared to a net loss of $0.05 for YTD 2008. The decrease in the net loss per share was primarily due to the acquisition of iPrint and an increased number of shares of common stock outstanding which occurred during the last six months of 2008.

     EBITDA. EBITDA for YTD 2009 was negative $81,350 compared to a negative EBITDA of $2,232,399 for YTD 2008. The $2,313,749 improvement in EBITDA was primarily the result of the iPrint acquisition, the implementation of cost cutting measures and improved operational efficiencies. An increase in other income related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $159,806 and a $581,250 positive change in the fair value of convertible debt for YTD 2009 versus YTD 2008 also impacted this number positively.

26



Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (continued)

     Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for YTD 2009 was $345,616 compared to a negative Adjusted EBITDA of $1,158,902 for YTD 2008. This increase of $1,504,518 was primarily the result of the iPrint acquisition, the implementation of cost cutting measures and improved operational efficiencies.

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.

     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.

27



Non-GAAP Measures (continued):

     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, 2009 and 2008 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. This presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

The following is a reconciliation of cash flows provided by operating activities to EBIT, EBITDA, and net loss:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 30, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,558,870 including cash and equivalent balances of $ 62,866 compared to a working capital deficit of $4,973,437 at December 31, 2008. 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; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful.

29



Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

     Accounts receivable increased from $2,753,445 at December 31, 2008 to $3,668,519 at September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to increased revenues associated with the hiring of additional Independent Sales Partners (ISP’s) and organic growth.

     Accounts payable and accrued expenses, which consist primarily of amounts due to third party service providers and toner suppliers, increased from $3,030,599 at December 31, 2008 to $4,373,529 at September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the Company obtaining longer payment terms from key suppliers and due to the revenue growth of the Company.

     The Company entered into no derivative financial instrument arrangements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

     During the first nine months of 2009, the Company raised $1,185,000 through private offerings and warrant exercises. The Company also issued shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for $1,000,000 of convertible notes in a private offering.

     Also in January 2009, $51,915 of 10% convertible notes payable were issued with and a detachable warrant to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Warrants"). The notes are interest only during the first twelve months and then principle and interest is amortized over the next twenty four months. The Notes may be converted, at the option of the holder, into shares of Common Stock at $0.30 per share during the first twelve months of the note.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company used $349,563 in cash for operations. The cash flows were used primarily to cover the Company's continued losses from operations. The Company anticipates that 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 sustain its current revenue growth. Management believes it will be successful in financing 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, 2009, the Company received $461,505 in cash from financing activities. These cash flows were primarily from $700,000 for the issuance of preferred stock, $135,000 from warrants exercised, $21,275,968 from draws on a revolving line of credit offset by $20,930,993 in payments on the revolving line of credit and $1,025,990 in payments relating to notes payable.

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 2009 and its ability to continue as a going concern.

30



Business Outlook, Risks and Uncertainties (continued)

      Sufficiency of Working Capital

     As of September 30, 2009, the Company had a net working capital deficit of $4,558,870. 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 is also continuing to raise capital through equity offerings to pay off a portion of this 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 to sustain its business activities as they currently are. Management believes that the Company can achieve positive cash flow 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 Company's business. The Company is currently spending approximating $50,000 more cash per month than is being generated from operations due to debt service payments.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company raised $2,185,000 in proceeds from private offerings. The Company estimates that it will need to raise an additional $1,000,000 during the next 12 months to meet its minimum working 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 $2,000,000. The availability of the line is determined by eligible accounts receivables. On April 23, 2009, this line was increased to $2,500,000 and extended through April 23, 2011. The current interest rate on the outstanding balance is nine percent per annum. The balance due was $1,691,697 at September 30, 2009. The approximate availability under the line was $110,000 at September 30, 2009. As of November 16, 2009, the availability under the line was approximately $120,000.

     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 effected by changes in interest rates and certain other credit risk associated with its operations.

31



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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not Required.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

     The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). This term refers to the controls and procedures of a Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods.

     There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have not been disclosed in reports on Form 8-K and 10-Q, except as set forth below.

     During August 2009, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of certain warrants held by an accredited investor from $ 0.30 per share to $0.10 per share, and the accredited investor used a dividend payable to him on Series D Convertible Preferred Stock he holds of $11,000 to exercise warrants to purchase 110,000 shares at the reduced exercise price.

     In connection with this sale, the Company relied upon the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), and/or Rule 506 under the Act. The securities were sold to a person who was already a shareholder of the Company. The Company reasonably believes that the investor is an "Accredited Investor," 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 certificate representing the securities issued.

     During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued 2,100,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock in a private offering at an offering price of $0.25 per share to eight accredited investors.

     In connection with the sale of the shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company relied upon the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), and Rule 506 under the Act. The securities were sold to persons who the Company reasonably believes are "Accredited Investors," as defined under the Act, who had access to complete information concerning the Company. Each investor was given a private placement memorandum that provided detailed information about the Company and the securities to be issued, and investors were given an opportunity to ask questions of management. No advertising or other general solicitation was used in connection with the offering. The investors signed subscription documents representing that they were acquiring the securities for investment purposes only. A Form D was filed with the SEC in connection with the offering.
