                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    Unaudited

         The  accompanying  financial  statements  have  not been  audited,  but
reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
fair  presentation of financial  position,  results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
These consolidated  financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's  audited  financial  statements  and notes thereto for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1998.

         Effective  at the close of business on December  31,  1996,  a tax free
spin off of the  Company's  common  stock from its  former  parent,  Pages,  was
completed (the  "Distribution").  In the  Distribution,  for every ten shares of
Pages common stock  outstanding on the record date,  one and one-half  shares of
the Company's common stock was distributed to Pages shareholders.

         On  January  23,  1998  the  Company  redeemed,  at  a  discount,   the
subordinated  debenture  due to Pages on January 1, 2002.  The  debenture in the
original principal amount of $5 million was redeemed for $3.5 million.

         Also on January  23,  1998,  Huntington  National  Bank  increased  the
Company's line of credit from $2 million to $5.5 million from which funds became
available to redeem the  subordinated  debenture due to Pages. On July 30, 1998,
the Company replaced the line of credit with the Huntington National Bank with a
$5 million line of credit with Branch Banking & Trust.

         On March 4, 1998 the Company  sold its 167,000 sq. ft.  Kings  Mountain
warehouse.  The sale netted the Company approximately $425,000. Also on March 4,
1998 the Company obtained  financing from First National Bank secured by a first
deed of trust on the Shelby facilities.  The loan is in the amount of $2,362,500
at an interest  rate of prime plus 1/2% and will not  increase or decrease  more
than two percent. The term of the loan is fifteen years, callable after 5 years.

         On July 30, 1998 the Company  entered into an  agreement  with Awards &
Gifts,  Inc.  and  Richard  W.  Terlau,  Jr.,  providing  for  the  purchase  of
substantially  all  assets  and  certain  liabilities  of  Awards & Gifts by the
Company.  Under the terms of the Asset Purchase  Agreement,  the assets included
Awards & Gifts customer list,  machinery and  equipment,  inventories,  Awards &
Gifts intellectual property assets,  prepaid expenses,  and general intangibles,
the  liabilities  included  the  assumption  of an  equipment  lease  and a real
property lease.  The purchase price for the assets was $1.5 million with certain
adjustments made for pro-rated  items,  with $1.3 million in cash and a $200,000
promissory note. The note is secured by an Irrevocable  Standby Letter of Credit
issued by Branch  Banking & Trust  Company.  The purchase  price under the Asset
Purchase  Agreement  was  determined  by arm's length  negotiations  between the
parties  based on the  market  value  of the  assets  purchased  and  sold.  The
acquisition  was financed with proceeds from its revolving  credit facility with
Branch Banking & Trust Company.

     On October 1, 1998 the Company  entered  into an  agreement  with  American
Awards & Gifts,  Inc.  and Frank G. and Judith J.  McGinnis,  providing  for the
purchase of substantially all assets and certain  liabilities of American Awards
& Gifts, Inc. by the Company.  Under the terms of the Asset Purchase  Agreement,
the  assets  included  American  Awards & Gifts  customer  list,  machinery  and
equipment,  tools and  dies,  inventories,  intellectual  property  assets,  and
general intangibles, the liabilities included the assumption of certain accounts
payable.  The purchase  price for the assets was $255,177  with $100,000 in cash
and a $155,177  promissory  note.  The purchase  price under the Asset  Purchase
Agreement was determined by arm's length negotiations  between the parties based
on the market value of the assets  purchased and sold. The goodwill  acquired in
this  transaction  will be amortized over fifteen years using the  straight-line
method.

         There were no options  granted under the Company's 1998 Incentive Stock
Option Plan and under the  Non-Employee  Director  Stock  Option Plan during the
three months ended March 31, 1999.


ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Quarter Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 1998:

         Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999  approximated  $5.97
million,  compared to $4.86 million in revenues for the three months ended March
31, 1998, an increase of 22.6% or approximately  $1.11 million.  The increase is
attributable  to  strong  retention  of  existing  customers  coupled  with  new
customers  in the new markets  with  employed  recognition  consultants  and the
acquisitions made by the Company in 1998.

         Cost  of  goods  sold  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999
approximated $3.02 million,  compared to approximately  $2.58 million of cost of
goods sold for the three months  ended March 31, 1998,  an increase of 17.22% or
approximately  $440,000.  The increase in cost of goods sold was attributable to
the  increase in  revenues.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,  cost of goods sold
decreased to 50.7% for the three  months ended March 31, 1999,  from 53% for the
three months ended March 31, 1998.  The 2.3%  decrease in the cost of goods sold
as a percentage of revenues was principally  attributable to a change in product
mix and improved inventory purchasing strategy.

         Selling, general, and administrative expense for the three months ended
March 31, 1999  approximated  $2.19  million,  compared to $1.94 million for the
three  months  ended  March  31,  1998,  a  increase  of 12.7% or  approximately
$247,000.  The increase in selling,  general,  and  administrative  expense were
principally  attributable to expansion of the internal  employed sales force and
the cost associated with the  acquisitions in 1998. As a percentage of revenues,
selling,  general and  administrative  decreased  to 36.6% for the three  months
ended March 31, 1999,  from 39.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The
3.3%  decrease as a percentage  of revenues  were  principally  attributable  to
benefits obtained from aggressive cost containment policies, and the increase in
revenues generated by the employed sales force.

         Interest expense was approximately  $101,000 for the three months ended
March 31,  1999,  compared to $52,335 for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
an increase  of  approximately  $49,000.  The  increase in interest  expense was
primarily  due to the Company's  mortgage on the buildings  obtained to complete
the early  redemption  of the Company's  subordinated  debenture due to Pages on
January 1, 2002.  The  increase  was also  attributable  to the  interest on the
Company's line of credit which was used to finance the acquisitions in 1998. The
average  outstanding debt for the first three months in 1999  approximated  $5.2
million   compared  to  $2.3  million  for  the  first  three  months  in  1998.
Additionally,  the  average  interest  rate for the first  three  months in 1999
approximated 7.84% compared to approximately 9.33% for the same period in 1998.

         Depreciation and amortization  expense was  approximately  $174,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $103,000 for the three months
ended  March 31,  1998,  an  increase  of 69.3% or  approximately  $71,000.  The
increase in depreciation and amortization  expense was principally  attributable
to the depreciation of newly acquired assets in 1997 and 1998.

         Income tax  provision was $192,100 for the three months ended March 31,
1999,  compared to an income tax provision of $14,900 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The provisions  for income tax benefit were  calculated  through
the use of estimated income tax rates based upon the income before taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


     The Company's  primary  sources of liquidity  have been cash generated from
operating  activities and amounts  available  under its existing credit facility
and proceeds  from the public  offering of units  consisting of common stock and
warrants  during the third quarter of 1997. The Company's  primary uses of funds
consist of financing inventory, receivables and acquisitions.

        The  Company has adopted a growth  strategy  which will be  accomplished
through increased  efforts of the Company's  existing highly trained sales force
in order to expand current market share and enter into new markets.

     The Company  anticipates  that  operating cash flows during the next twelve
months, coupled with its ability to borrow under the credit facility, will cover
operating  expenditures and meet the short-term debt obligations.  The Company's
credit facility is due and payable in full on July 30, 1999. Although the lender
has not issued a commitment to do so, the Company's relationship with its lender
is  favorable  and the  Company  anticipates  that the credit  facility  will be
renewed when due.

        On July 30, 1998 the Company  entered  into an  agreement  with Awards &
Gifts,  Inc.  and  Richard  W.  Terlau,  Jr.,  providing  for  the  purchase  of
substantially  all  assets  and  certain  liabilities  of  Awards & Gifts by the
Company.  Under the terms of the Asset Purchase  Agreement,  the assets included
Awards & Gifts customer list,  machinery and  equipment,  inventories,  Awards &
Gifts intellectual property assets, prepaid expenses, and a real property lease.
The purchase price for the assets was $1.5 million with certain adjustments made
for pro-rated  items,  with $1.3 million paid in cash and a $200,000  promissory
note. The note is secured by an  Irrevocable  Standby Letter of Credit issued by
Branch  Banking & Trust  Company.  The purchase  price under the Asset  Purchase
Agreement was determined by arm's length negotiations  between the parties based
on the market value of the assets  purchased and sold. The goodwill  acquired in
this  transaction  will be amortized over fifteen years using the  straight-line
method. The acquisition was financed with proceeds from the Company's  revolving
credit facility with Branch Banking & Trust Company.

        On October 1, 1998 the Company  entered into an agreement  with American
Awards & Gifts,  Inc.  and Frank G. and Judith J.  McGinnis,  providing  for the
purchase of substantially all assets and certain  liabilities of American Awards
& Gifts, Inc. by the Company.  Under the terms of the Asset Purchase  Agreement,
the  assets  included  American  Awards & Gifts  customer  list,  machinery  and
equipment,  tools and  dies,  inventories,  intellectual  property  assets,  and
general intangibles, the liabilities included the assumption of certain accounts
payable.  The purchase  price for the assets was $255,177  with $100,000 in cash
and a $155,177  promissory  note.  The purchase  price under the Asset  Purchase
Agreement was determined by arm's length negotiations  between the parties based
on the market value of the assets  purchased and sold. The goodwill  acquired in
this  transaction  will be amortized over fifteen years using the  straight-line
method.

        Effective at the close of business on December 31, 1996, a tax free spin
off of the Company's  common stock from its parent,  Pages,  was completed  (the
"Distribution"). In the Distribution, for every ten shares of Pages common stock
outstanding on the record date, one and one-half shares of the Company's  common
stock was  distributed  to Pages'  stockholders.  The Company  entered into a $5
million,   7%  subordinated   debenture  with  Pages   simultaneously  with  the
Distribution in satisfaction of amounts due to Pages by the Company.  The excess
of the  amount  due  to  Pages  as of  the  Distribution  over  the  $5  million
subordinated debenture was recorded as paid in capital.  Principal payments will
be $100,000  per year for the first four years,  and a final  payment due at the
end of the fifth year for the remaining principal balance. Interest is at 7% per
annum,  payable  quarterly.  Based  on  the  consummation  of  the  Distribution
effective  January 1, 1997,  the  amounts  due to Pages  previously  recorded as
current have been reclassified to long term, thus  significantly  increasing the
Company's net working capital, as described earlier in this section. The Company
discharged  the debenture in full in January 1998 for $3.5 million.  The Company
realized an  extraordinary  gain on  retirement  of debt of $1.5 million on this
transaction.


<PAGE>


        Management   believes  that  present  resources  will  meet  anticipated
requirements for operations of the business.

        The Company does not anticipate any material  expenditures  for property
and  equipment  during the next twelve  months,  out of the  ordinary  course of
business.

        The  Company  is  aware  of  no  trends  or  demands,   commitments   or
uncertainties  that will result in, or that  management  believes are reasonably
likely to result in, the  Company's  liquidity  increasing  or decreasing in any
material  way.  The  Company  is aware of no legal or other  contingencies,  the
effect of which are believed by  management  to be  reasonably  likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.

         A potential  problem exists for all companies that rely on computers as
the year 2000  approaches.  The "Year  2000"  problem  is the result of the past
practice  in the  computer  industry  of using two  digits  rather  than four to
identify the applicable  year.  This practice could result in incorrect  results
when the  Company's  computers or those of the third parties with which it deals
perform arithmetic operations, comparisons or data field sorting involving years
later than 1999.

         The Company has  conducted a  preliminary  assessment  of its  computer
systems to  identify  items that  could be  impacted  by the Year 2000 issue and
formulated the following course of action.  The Company will begin reviewing its
non-information  technology  systems in mid-1999.  Although the Company does not
anticipate that non-information technology systems will pose a major problem, as
its reliance on such systems is  relatively  small;  non-information  technology
systems are more  difficult to evaluate and repair than  information  technology
systems and may require replacement. The Company has already begun its review of
its information  technology systems and will make necessary software upgrades in
1999. In addition,  the Company has been  separately  evaluating  its accounting
software  and is  currently  in the  process of  implementing  a new system with
implementation anticipated to be complete during the second quarter of 1999.

         The most  reasonably  likely worst case  scenario the Company  faces in
regards to Year 2000  problems is a lack of  compliance on the part of the third
parties  with  which it deals.  Though not highly  dependent  on any  particular
vendor,  the failure on the part of its vendors  could result in the Company not
being  able to get those  supplies  it needs to  administer  its  business.  The
Company is prepared to find  alternative  vendors should this problem result and
is considering building up an inventory of any necessary supplies to prevent any
shortage if such an eventuality were to occur.

         The Company  will  utilize  both  internal  and  external  resources to
reprogram  or replace and test all of its  software.  The Company  preliminarily
estimates that it will cost $5,000 to evaluate,  reprogram and replace equipment
and software to ensure Year 2000 compliance,  of which all $5,000 will likely be
spent on outside  consultants.  In addition,  as discussed above, the Company is
going to spend $40,000 to replace its existing accounting system. Such costs are
being  financed  through an existing line of credit and will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
<PAGE>

         The  Company  is  addressing   its  Year  2000   compliance   needs  by
implementing a new Enterprise  Resource  Planning (ERP) application on a new IBM
AS/400 platform. Since its custom written software will be modified to work with
its new ERP system, the Company will design and test its systems to be Year 2000
compliant during 1999.


SEASONALITY


        The Company's business is highly seasonal, with approximately 40% of its
revenues and most of its profits  recorded in the months of November,  December,
and January. As a result, the Company's working capital requirements are highest
during  November and December when the  combination of receivables and inventory
are at peak levels.  The Company typically  experiences losses in its second and
third quarters.

         As the results from the Company's growth strategy develop,  the effects
of seasonality should be diminished.  The business segments on which the Company
has chosen to focus offer  steadier  revenue flows,  as well as more  consistent
requirements for working capital.


INFLATION


     Although the Company  cannot  determine  the precise  effects of inflation,
inflation has an influence on the cost of the  Company's  products and services,
supplies, salaries, and benefits. The Company attempts to minimize or offset the
effects of inflation through increased sales volumes and sales prices,  improved
productivity,  alternative  sourcing of products and supplies,  and reduction of
other costs.  The Company  generally has been able to offset the impact of price
increases  from  suppliers by increases in the selling  prices of the  Company's
products and services.


SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain  statements   contained  in  this  Form  10-Q  under  "Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and  Results of  Operations"
regarding matters that are not historical facts and "forward looking statements"
(as such term is  defined in the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of
1996) and  because  such  statements  involve  risks and  uncertainties,  actual
results  may  differ   materially  from  those  expressed  or  implied  by  such
forward-looking  statements.  Those  statements  include  remarks  regarding the
intent,  belief, or current expectations of the Company,  its directors,  or its
officers with respect to, among other things:  (i) future  operating cash flows;
(ii) the Company's  financing  plans,  and (iii) the Company's  growth strategy,
including  the  expansion  of current  market  share and the  entrance  into new
markets.  Prospective  investors  are  cautioned  that any such  forward-looking
statements  are not  guarantees  of future  performance  and  involve  risks and
uncertainties,  and  that  actual  results  may  differ  materially  from  those
projected in the forward-looking  statements as a result of various factors. The
accompanying   information  contained  in  this  Form  10-Q,  including  without
limitation and information set forth under the heading "Management's  Discussion
and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations",  identifies
important factors that could cause such differences.
<PAGE>

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The  Company is exposed to the impact of interest  rate  changes on its
debt  obligations.  The Company is not exposed to foreign currency exchange rate
risk or investment risk.

        Interest  Rate Risk.  The  Company's  exposure  to market  rate risk for
changes in interest  rates relates  primarily to the Company's  short-term  debt
obligation  line of credit.  The  interest  rate on this line of credit is prime
plus 1/2 percent.  The prime  interest rate at March 31, 1998 was 7 3/4 percent.
The Company's line of credit is renewable and negotiable yearly. The fluctuation
of the interest rate may increase  interest  expense if the prime  interest rate
increases before the line of credit could be renegotiated to a fixed rate loan.
