COPPELL, Texas--Jan. 15, 2003--Impreso, Inc. (Nasdaq SmallCap:ZCOM), which through its subsidiaries is involved in (1) the manufacture and distribution of paper and film hard copy imaging products for commercial and home office applications and (2) the development of eCommerce initiatives, today announced higher sales and earnings for the first quarter of FY 2003.

Net sales for the first quarter of FY 2003 rose 25.4% to $31.8 million, compared with net sales of $25.4 million in the previous year. Gross profits increased approximately 24.9% to $ 3.2 million in the first quarter of FY 2003, versus approximately $2.6 million in the corresponding period of the prior year, while the gross profit margin remained stable at 10.2%. Net income decreased to $304,620, or $0.06 per share, in the most recent quarter, compared with $765,929, or $0.15 per share, in the first quarter of FY 2002.

"In the first quarter of 2002, Impreso, Inc. recorded as other income an approximate $1 million award from a class action lawsuit involving international and domestic manufacturers' attempt to fix jumbo roll thermal facsimile paper prices in the United States," stated Marshall Sorokwasz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Impreso, Inc. "The award skews net income results for First Quarter 2003 as compared to First Quarter 2002. If this other income is excluded from the results for First Quarter 2002, First Quarter 2003 reflects an increase in net income from operations as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year."

"We also believe that the slower economy will affect the second quarter FY2003 results of operations," continued Marshall Sorokwasz, "although we are unable to forecast the exact impact as a result of the United Computer Supplies, Inc. acquisition in March 2002, and its effect on increased sales."
