RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

         SALES:

                  Sales for the years ended  January 31, 1996,  January 31, 1995
and  January  31,  1994,   were   $31,510,000,   $30,133,000   and   $25,660,000
respectively. Sales for the year ended January 31, 1996 increased $1,377,000, or
4.6%, compared to the prior year, due primarily to an increase in the prices the
Registrant  charged for its products.  These  results were achieved  without the
contribution of sales from the Registrant's Hantico subsidiary which was sold in
January 1995 and which contributed  approximately $1,500,000 to sales during the
fiscal year ended  January 31, 1995.  Sales for the year ended January 31, 1995,
increased  $4,473,000,  or 17.4%,  compared  to the prior  year,  as a result of
increased  sales in all  divisions,  primarily  the Medical  Packaging and Haran
Divisions. The Registrant's Medical Packaging Division experienced strong demand
for Speci-GardTM  bags which were introduced during the fiscal year ended Janury
31, 1995. The  Speci-GardTM bag is designed to protect  healthcare  workers from
possible exposure to infectious diseases, including HIV.

         The  Registrant's  continued  efforts to market the  Medical  Packaging
Division's  products to the healthcare  industry resulted in the Medical Packing
Division accounting for 23% of the Registrant's total sales, or $7,261,000,  for
the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996. The Medical Packaging Division accounted
for 20% of the  Registrant's  total sales,  or  $6,087,000,  for the fiscal year
ended January 31, 1995.  During the year ended January 31, 1995,  the Registrant
also began  shipping its  Ultravault(TM)  tamper  evident  security  bag,  which
provides the user with visual evidence of tampering with the bag's contents.

                                       -4-

                  Cost of sales,  as a percentage  of sales,  increased to 64.4%
for the year ended January 31, 1996,  compared to 60.7% for the prior year. This
increase was due primarily to continued  increases in the cost of raw materials,
some of which could not  immediately be reflected in increased  product  prices.
Raw material  prices  during the year ended  January 31, 1996  stabilized by the
Registrant's  fiscal third  quarter  ended  October 31, 1995.  The  Registrant's
Central Purchasing  Department,  however,  continued to enable the Registrant to
efficiently  manage  the  flow  of  raw  materials  and  long-range   purchasing
commitments enabled the Registrant to anticipate certain increases.

                  Shipping, selling, general and administrative expenses for the
year ended January 31, 1996, decreased approximately $435,000, or 4.9%, compared
to the prior year.  This  decrease was due  primarily to decreases in insurance,
freight out and  environmental  expenses.  For the year ended  January 31, 1996,
other  expenses  increased  from $316,000 to $413,000,  or 31%, due to a gain on
sale of equipment  and  inventory of $94,000  reported for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 1995.

                  Interest expense for the year ended January 31, 1996 increased
$3,000,  or less than 1%,  compared  to the year ended  January 31,  1995.  This
increase was  attributable  to a nominal  increase in borrowings at the start of
the Registrant's 1996 fiscal year due to the start up of Southwest.

         JANUARY 31, 1995

                  Cost of sales,  as a percentage  of sales,  decreased to 63.0%
for the year ended  January 31,  1995,  compared to 63.1% for the prior year,  a
nominal  decrease.  Raw material  prices  during the year ended January 31, 1995
increased approximately 50%

                                       -5-

compared  to  the  prior  fiscal  year.  The  Registrant's   Central  Purchasing
Department,  however,  enabled the Registrant to efficiently  manage the flow of
raw materials and long-range  purchasing  commitments  enabled the Registrant to
anticipate certain increases. In addition, prompt payment by the Registrant, for
raw materials, at a discount, aided in moderating the effect of these increases.

                  Shipping, selling, general and administrative expenses for the
year ended  January 31,  1995,  increased  approximately  $1,317,000,  or 17.4%,
compared to the prior year.  This  increase was due to increases in  commissions
and selling  expenses  directly  related to the increase in sales.  For the year
ended January 31, 1995, other expenses  decreased from $375,000 to $316,000,  or
16%, as a direct  result of the gain from the sale of the  Registrant's  Hantico
Division.

                  Interest expense for the year ended January 31, 1995 increased
$35,000, or 9.2%, compared to the year ended January 31, 1994. This increase was
attributable  to  increases in the  interest  rate  charged by the  Registrant's
lender and a nominal increase in borrowings.

         INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:

                  Income  before  provision  for income taxes for the year ended
January 31, 1996, increased  approximately  $374,000, or 19.2%, to approximately
$2,317,000 compared to approximately $1,943,000 for year ended January 31, 1995.
This  increase  was  primarily   attributable  to  increased  sales,   continued
improvements in manufacturing  operations and a reduction in shipping,  selling,
general and  administrative  expenses.  Income before provision for income taxes
for the year ended January 31, 1996 would have been $150,000 greater without the
start up costs associated with Southwest.

                  Income  before  provision  for income taxes for the year ended
January 31, 1995,  increased  approximately  $424,000,  or 28%, to approximately
$1,943,000 compared to

                                       -6-
<PAGE>
approximately  $1,519,000 for the year ended January 31, 1994. This increase was
primarily  attributable  to the 17.4% increase in sales without a  corresponding
increase in operating expenses.

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:

                  Provision  for  income  taxes for the year ended  January  31,
1996, was $858,000  compared to $777,000 for the prior year primarily due to the
increase of $374,000 in income before provision for income taxes.

                  Provision  for  income  taxes for the year ended  January  31,
1995, was $777,000 compared to $541,000 for the prior year.  Utilizing  standard
federal and state tax rates,  $183,000 of the increase was directly attributable
to the increase of $424,000 in income  before  provision  for income  taxes.  In
addition,  during the year ended January 31, 1994, the Registrant  recognized an
$84,000  credit to the  provision  for income taxes as a result of a decrease in
the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS:

                  Working  capital for the fiscal year ended  January 31,  1996,
increased to  $6,699,000  from  $5,822,000  for the year ended January 31, 1995.
This  increase of $877,000,  or 15.1%,  was directly  attributable  to operating
activities during fiscal 1996. This increase resulted in a working capital ratio
of 3.9 to 1 as January 31, 1996.

         On April 24, 1995, the Registrant  entered into a new revolving  credit
facility establishing a three-year  $3,500,000 facility.  Proceeds of the credit
facility were used for the repayment of indebtedness, permitted acquisitions and
working capital.  The credit agreement contains financial covenants relating to,
among other things, capital expenditures, minimum debt service coverage, minimum
working  capital,  minimum  tangible net worth,  the ratio of current  assets to
current  liabilities  and the ratio of total  liabilities to tangible net worth.
Borrowings  under the credit  facility will bear interest,  at the  Registrant's
option, either at the bank's prime rate or at a rate

                                       -7-

1-1/2% per annum in excess of LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate).  During the
course of the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996,  the  Registrant  periodically
reduced its debt and on February  13,  1996  repaid its  indebtedness  under the
credit  facility.  The Registrant has unused lines of credit under its revolving
credit  facility of $3,500,000.  The Registrant  believes that it has sufficient
working  capital and unused lines of credit to meet its expected  liquidity  and
capital resource  requirements for the foreseeable  future and to fund potential
acquisitions.  The  Registrant  currently  has  budgeted  $500,000  for  capital
improvements in fiscal 1996.

                  In December 1990,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for  Postretirement  Benefits Other than Pensions" ("SFAS 106"). SFAS
106 requires that a company  recognize  costs currently that will be incurred in
the  future  relating  to  medical  and  other  benefits  to be  provided  after
retirement.  SFAS 106 was  implemented for the  Registrant's  fiscal year ending
January 31, 1994, and in the opinion of management, the adoption of SFAS 106 was
not material to the financial condition of the Registrant.

                  In  February   1992,   FASB  issued   Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  No. 109,  "Accounting  for Income  Taxes"  ("SFAS  109").
Companies are required to adopt SFAS 109 for years  beginning after December 15,
1992.  SFAS 109  requires  that  deferred  income  taxes be  recorded  using the
liability  method and restricts the conditions  under which a deferred asset may
be recorded.  The  Registrant is given the choice of reflecting  the adoption of
SFAS 109 in the year of change or  restating  any  number  of prior  years.  The
Registrant  adopted  SFAS 109 as of  February  1, 1993,  and,  in the opinion of
management,  its adoption had no material  effect on the financial  condition of
the Registrant.
