3.   Net Income Per Share

     Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available to
     common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
     outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
     that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
     were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance
     of common stock that then shared in earnings of the entity. Income
     applicable to common stock gives effect to preferred stock dividends and
     accretion of preferred stock for the difference between carrying value and
     liquidation preference.

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

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ATTACHED
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO, AND WITH ZIMMERMAN SIGN
COMPANY'S (THE COMPANY) ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER
31, 1998, INCLUDING AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO FOR THE YEAR
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998.

The Company's net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 increased
$1,252,000 or 9.9% to $13,893,000 from $12,641,000 for the same period last
year. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased $2,431,000 or
10.4% to $25,899,000 compared to $23,468,000 for the same period in 1998. The
net sales increases are due primarily to increased sales to financial services
and automotive customers.

The Company's gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 1999
decreased to 20.1% from 21.5% for the same period in 1998. For the six months
ended June 30, 1999 the gross profit percentage decreased to 20.3% from 21.0% in
1998. The decrease for the three and six month periods is primarily due to
higher factory overhead expenses which were only partially offset by improved
direct manufacturing costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,489,000 or 10.7% of net
sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared to $1,518,000 or 12.0% of net
sales for the same period in the prior year. For the

                                       5

<PAGE>

six months ended June 30, 1999, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased $136,000 to $2,984,000 and were 11.5% as a percentage of sales
compared to $2,848,000 and 12.1%, respectively, for the six months ended June
30, 1998. The decrease as a percentage of sales for the three and six month
periods is primarily the result of payroll and related costs, travel expenses
and general depreciation and amortization increasing at a slower rate than
that of sales.

Interest expense increased slightly to $578,000 for the three-month period ended
June 30, 1999 from $574,000 for the same period in the prior year. Interest
expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was substantially unchanged at
$1,162,000 versus $1,163,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

Income before federal income taxes increased $101,000 to $723,000 for the three
month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $622,000 for the same period in the
prior year. Income before federal income taxes for the six months ended June 30,
1999 increased $183,000 to $1,101,000 from $918,000 for the same period in 1998.
This increase resulted primarily from higher sales volume and lower selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, as noted above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating working capital (defined as accounts receivable plus inventories, less
accounts payable, including accrued expenses and customer deposits) decreased
$668,000 to $17,499,000 at June 30, 1999 from $18,167,000 at December 31, 1998.
The decrease in operating working capital resulted almost entirely from
increased accounts payable and customer deposits being partially offset by
increased inventories and accounts receivable and decreased accrued expenses.
Net cash of $1,258,000 was provided by operating activities for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to $1,362,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998. Increases in accounts payable along with an increase in customer deposits
were the primary sources of cash provided by operating activities, which were
partially offset by increases in inventory, accounts receivable and prepaids.

Investing activities used $441,000 for the first six months of 1999 as a result
of property and equipment purchases. Financing activities used $937,000 as a
result of increased net borrowings under the Company's line of credit being
offset by the Company's purchase of 585,143 shares of the Company's common
stock, the preferred dividend and repayments of bank term loans.

The Company's future capital expenditures will relate principally to the
acquisition of new machinery and equipment designed to increase productivity and
factory efficiency. The Company believes its cash generated from operations and
funds available under the senior credit facilities are sufficient for its
planned requirements during 1999.

During January 1999, the Company purchased 357,143 shares of its common stock
from its largest stockholder at a cost of $625,000 in cash and 6,250 shares of
the Company's 6% Series C Preferred Stock, which has a liquidation and
redemption value of $625,000 and is mandatorily redeemable on September 30,
2008. Additionally, the Company purchased 228,000 shares of its common stock
from an officer of the Company at a cost of $98,000 in cash and 7,000 shares of
the Company's 6% Series B Preferred Stock, which has a liquidation and
redemption value of $700,000 and is mandatorily redeemable on September 30,
2008. The Company had 1,269,549 shares of common stock outstanding immediately
following the above stock purchases. In connection with the above transactions,
the Company cancelled 343,655 of its outstanding warrants.

SEASONALITY

The Company's sales exhibit limited seasonality, with sales in the first quarter
generally being the lowest of the four calendar quarters. First quarter sales
tend to be relatively lower because of weather constraints which may restrict
customers' construction activities and may reduce their sign purchases.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company is assessing the reporting and disclosure requirements of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This
statement requires that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. The accounting for
changes in fair value of a derivative (that is, gains and losses) depends on the
intended use of the derivative and resulting designation. This statement amends
and supersedes a number of existing SFAS's, and nullifies or modifies a number
of the consensuses reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force. As amended by SFAS
No. 137, this statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. At the present time, the Company has not
quantified the effect of adoption or the continuing impact of such adoption. The
Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2001.

YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS

The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any computer programs
that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using 00 as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including among other things,
a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in
similar normal business activities. To become Year 2000 compliant, the Company
has implemented a comprehensive study of its information technology systems.
Because many of its systems were outdated and no longer supported, ordinary
replacement with Year 2000 compliant systems has addressed most of the Company's
needs in those areas. However, the Company found it necessary to upgrade its
production scheduling and management software outside of the ordinary
replacement cycle to be Year 2000 compliant at a cost of approximately $50,000.
In addition, the Company has conducted a review of all PCs, HVAC, plant
equipment and similar systems and has upgraded such equipment to be Year 2000
compliant, as necessary. The Company does not expect future costs to address its
internal Year 2000 matters to exceed $50,000.

Because the Company's products are not date sensitive, the Company does not
believe that they will be affected by the Year 2000 issue.

Further, the Company has requested from all of its suppliers, and has received
from approximately 85% of its suppliers, written questionnaires and assurances
that they are taking the necessary measures to avoid any significant disruptions
from Year 2000 noncompliance. The Company is continuing its efforts to identify
any exposure from failure of any significant supplier to provide goods or
services required by the Company.

The Company believes itself to be fully Year 2000 compliant in all of its
information systems at this time. Although the Company is committed to a
successful and timely Year 2000 conversion and funds have been dedicated and
available for this project, no assurance can be given that it has been fully and
timely implemented. Failure of the Company's equipment or software to operate
properly with regard to the Year 2000 and thereafter could require the Company
to incur unanticipated expenses to remedy any problems, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial

condition. Furthermore, the purchasing patterns of customers or potential
customers may be affected by Year 2000 issues if their systems malfunction or
they expend significant resources to correct their current systems for Year
2000 compliance. These expenditures may result in reduced funds to purchase
products and services such as those offered by the Company, which could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition. The Company believes the least controllable and
therefore most probable exposure specifically related to its business would
be the failure of a supplier to timely provide goods or services required by
the Company. The Company has obtained assurances of Year 2000 compliance from
most of its suppliers, as noted above, and intends to continue canvassing
critical suppliers concerning the compliance of their systems. In addition,
the Company has in many instances sought to identify and qualify alternate
suppliers, where feasible. However, if notwithstanding these measures, the
Company does not receive required goods or services as a result of the
failure of one or more suppliers, such failure could have a material adverse
effect upon the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

results may vary significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated,
expected, intended or planned.
