Thirteen weeks ended January 27, 1996, compared to the thirteen weeks ended
January 28, 1995

   Net earnings totaled $1,623,000 in the first quarter of 1996, compared to
$1,279,000 in 1995, an increase of 26.9%.  Earnings per share reached $.17 in
1996, compared to $.13 in 1995, a 30.8% increase.

   Net sales for the first quarter of 1996 were $25.4 million, an increase of
35.1% over 1995 first quarter net sales of $18.8 million.  The sales increase
over the prior year primarily resulted from strong sales performance from the
Company's National Accounts program, which focuses on large national
restaurant chains, and incremental sales from the acquisition of Decor
Concepts during 1995.  Net sales for the quarter excluding sales resulting
from this acquisition were approximately $22.9 million.

   Cost of sales was $17.8 million  for the 1996 first quarter, an increase
of 37.2% from $13.0 million in the 1995 first quarter.  The overall increase
is primarily related to increased sales volume.  Gross margin increased to
$7.6 million for the first quarter of 1996, a 30.6% increase from $5.8
million in the same quarter of 1995.  Gross margin as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 29.9% in 1996 from 31.0% in 1995 primarily due to higher
production costs of the new facility acquired from Decor Concepts.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.0 million in the 1996
first quarter, compared to $3.8 million in the 1995 first quarter, a 31.7%
increase.  The overall increase is primarily related to higher sales volume.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased to 19.8% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 20.3% for the
same period of 1995, primarily due to certain economies of scale associated
with the sales volume increases and operating expense control measures.

   The Company reported net interest income of $27,000 for the first quarter
of 1996, versus net interest income of $37,000 for the comparable period in
1995.  The decrease in net interest income is primarily due to the reduction
of available funds invested in interest-bearing securities due to the
acquisition of Decor Concepts in 1995.

   Income tax expense increased by $243,000, or 32.4%, in the first quarter
of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 due to higher earnings and an
increase in the effective tax rate during 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The Company's working capital at January 27, 1996, was $29.3 million and
its ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.5 to 1.0, compared
to $29.9 million and 3.3 to 1.0 at October 28, 1995.

   During the first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired 62,000 shares of its
common stock for a total cost of approximately $800,000.  The Company is
authorized to purchase up to 250,000 shares of its common stock under a stock
repurchase plan previously approved by the Board of Directors.

   The Company has a $2 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement
with a commercial bank.  The revolving line of credit bears interest at the
London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.25% and expires on July 1, 1997.  As of
January 27, 1996, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line
of credit.

   The Company expects that it will meet its ongoing working capital and
capital requirements, from a combination of internally generated funds,
available cash reserves, and available borrowings under its revolving credit
facility.  The Company's operating cash flows constitute its primary internal
source of liquidity.

   Generally, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company in the
past and no such effect is expected in the near future.  Historically, the
Company has been able to increase prices to offset increases in the cost of
manufacturing its products, and management presently believes that the
Company will continue to be able to do so.
