Item 2.           Management's Discussion and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition
                  and Results of Operation

         During the second  quarter of fiscal  1999 ended  April 30,  1999,  the
Company had a net loss of $395,000 compared to net income for the same period in
the prior year of $238,000.  For the six month period ended April 30, 1999,  the
Company had a net loss of $335,000  compared to a net profit of $563,000 for the
same  period of 1998.  The  decline in income was the  result  principally  of a
decline in revenues from the sale of mylar  balloons for the fiscal year to date
compared to fiscal 1998 of approximately  $1.3 million,  and lowered pricing due
to market  pressures.  Management  believes the decline is the result of general
industry  conditions  causing  weakness in mylar  balloon  sales,  including the
bankruptcy reorganization of one principal party good retail chain and financial
difficulties of another.

         Income of the Company was also  affected by increases  in  depreciation
expense  arising from  investment in machinery and  equipment,  and increases in
interest costs arising from increased levels of borrowing.

         The  Company's  recent  capital  investments  and its efforts have been
directed to  increasing  its revenues  from the sale of printed,  laminated  and
specialty  film  products,  and reducing the level of the Company's  reliance on
mylar balloon sales.

Results of Operations

         Net Sales.  For the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 1999, net sales were
$4,862,000,  as compared to sales of $5,492,000  for the second quarter of 1998.
The decline in sales is mainly due to a decrease in metallized  balloon sales of
$610,000. Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 1999 were $9,850,000,  as
compared to sales of  $11,332,000  for the same  period in 1998.  The decline in
metallized  balloon  sales was the  primary  reason for the  decrease in overall
sales.

         Cost of Sales.  For the fiscal  quarter  ended April 30, 1999,  cost of
sales  increased  to 74.1% of net sales as compared to 58.9% of net sales in the
second  fiscal  quarter of 1998.  The increase was a result of lower  production
volumes and costs incurred in a new equipment  project.  Cost of goods sold were
67.8% of net sales for the first six months of fiscal 1999, as compared to 59.1%
for the same period of 1998.

         Administrative.   For  the  fiscal   quarter   ended  April  30,  1999,
administrative expenses were $557,000 or 11.5% of sales as compared to $697,000,
or 12.7% of sales  for the  second  fiscal  quarter  of 1998.  For the first six
months of fiscal 1999, administrative expenses were $1,089,000 or 11.1% of sales
as compared to  $1,223,000,  or 10.8% of sales for the same period of 1998.  The
decreases  were due to reduced phone  expenses,  lower legal costs,  and reduced
consulting fees.

         Selling.  For the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 1999, selling expenses
were $656,000 or 13.5% of sales, as compared to $708,000,  or 12.9% of net sales
for the second fiscal  quarter of 1998. For the first six months of fiscal 1999,
selling expenses were $1,301,000 or 13.2% of sales as compared to $1,449,000, or
12.8% of net sales for the same period of 1998.  The decline in selling  expense
dollars is  primarily  related to the  decline in sales  volume and the  selling
expenses directly associated with those sales.

         Advertising and Marketing. For the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 1999,
advertising  and  marketing  expenses  were  $400,000  or 8.2% of net  sales  as
compared to $462,000 or 8.4% of net sales in the second fiscal  quarter of 1998.
For the first six months of fiscal 1999, advertising and marketing expenses were
$878,000 or 8.9% of sales as compared to $941,000,  or 8.3% of net sales for the
same period of 1998. The decrease in advertising  and marketing  expense dollars
was primarily related to changes in programs for national accounts, resulting in
lower servicing costs and rebates to customers.

         Other Income or Expense. Interest expense increased to $214,000 for the
quarter  ended April 30,  1999,  as compared to $191,000  for the second  fiscal
quarter of 1998. Interest expense increased to $435,000 for the six months ended
April 30, 1999, as compared to $368,000 for the second  fiscal  quarter of 1998.
The  increased  interest  expense is a result of  increases in the level of both
long term and short term borrowings.

         Net Income or Loss.  For the fiscal  quarter ended April 30, 1999,  the
Company had a loss of $479,000  as compared to income  before  taxes of $335,000
for the second  fiscal  quarter of 1998.  The income tax  benefit for the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 was $84,000, resulting in a








                                       3

net loss of $395,000.  The  provision  for income tax for the second  quarter of
fiscal 1998 was $98,000, resulting in net income of $238,000. For the six months
ended April 30,  1999,  the net loss was $335,000 as compared to a net profit of
$563,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1998.



Financial Condition

         Liquidity  and Capital  Resources.  Cash flow  provided  by  operations
during the six months ended April 30, 1999 was $1,494,000, which was affected by
a decrease in inventory for the period of almost $1.6 million.  During the first
six months of 1998,  cash flows used in operations was  $2,437,000,  mainly as a
result of increased  sales and resulting  increases in accounts  receivable  and
inventory.

         Investment  Activities.  During the six months ended April 30, 1999 and
April 30, 1998, the Company invested $1,632,000 and $2,550,000, respectively, in
machinery and equipment, and its Mexican supplier of latex balloons.

         Financing  Activities.  For the six months  ended April 30,  1999,  the
Company  generated  $437,000 in financing  activities,  primarily as a result of
proceeds  from the issuance of long term debt.  Cash flow  provided by financing
activities  for the six months  ended  April 30, 1998 was  $6,045,000  resulting
primarily  from the proceeds of the  Company's  initial  public  offering of its
Common Stock in November 1997.

         At April 30, 1999, the Company  maintained a cash balance of $518,000 .
The Company's current cash management strategy includes maintaining minimal cash
balances and utilizing the revolving  line of credit for  liquidity.  At October
31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of $235,000.  At April 30,
1999, the Company had working  capital of  $2,466,000,  and at October 31, 1998,
working capital was $3,313,000.

         The Company believes that existing capital resources and cash generated
from  operations,  will be sufficient to meet the Company's  requirements for at
least 12 months.

         Seasonality.  In the mylar product line, sales have  historically  been
seasonal with  approximately 20% to 27% of annual sales of mylar being generated
in December and January and 11% to 13% of annual mylar sales being  generated in
June and July in recent years.  The sale of latex  balloons and  laminated  film
products have not historically been seasonal.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating  results for the six-month period ended April 30, 1999
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended  October 31,  1999.  For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements and footnotes  thereto included in the Registrant  Company
and  Subsidiaries'  annual  report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 31,
1998.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

The  Company  adopted  SFAS No.  128,  "Earnings  per Share," for the year ended
October 31, 1998.  Adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the income  available to common
shareholders,  net earnings  less  preferred  stock  dividends,  by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.

Diluted  earnings  per share is computed by dividing  net income by the weighted
average  number of shares of common  stock and common stock  equivalents  (stock
options and warrants), unless anti-dilutive, during each period.

Earnings per share for the periods ended April 30, 1999 and 1998 was computed as
follows:
