              NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


l.  The information contained in this Report is unaudited, but reflects all 
adjustments which are, in the opinion of the management, necessary for a fair 
statement of results of the interim periods, consisting only of normal 
recurring accruals.  The results for such interim periods are not necessarily 
indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary sources of the Registrant's liquidity are its operations and a 
line of credit from a commercial bank  to a limit of $2.9 million.   The line 
of credit was renewed for one year in April 1997.  The Registrant is required 
to maintain minimum working capital of $1,500,000, debt to  tangible net worth 
of 2 to 1 and debt service coverage of 1.7 times. As of year end 1996 
Registrant was in compliance with all terms.

The Registrant is involved in making sales in the Canadian market and must 
deal with the currency fluctuations of the Canadian currency.  The Registrant 
does not engage in currency hedging and deals with such currency risk as a 
pricing issue.

During the past few years Registrant has introduced various new products to 
the marketplace.  This has required the Registrant to carry greater amounts of 
overall inventory and has resulted in lower inventory turnover rates.  The 
effects of such inventory turnover have not been material to the overall 
operations of Registrant. Registrant believes that all required capital to 
maintain such increases can continue to be provided from operations and 
current lending arrangements.
 
Results of Operations For The Three Month Period April 1-June 30:

Gross Sales decreased approximately $784,000 or 21% when comparing the quarter 
ended June 30, 1997 with the comparable period of the preceding year. 
Management attributes the decrease to the loss of a filling contract at  the 
Alabama Plant.

Cost of Goods Sold decreased approximately 4% as a percentage of gross sales 
when comparing the quarter ended June 30, 1997 with the quarter ended June 30, 
1996.  This decrease was due to changes in the product sales mix.

Advertising and Promotion expenses increased approximately $12,000 or 7% when 
comparing the three months ended June 30, 1997 to the three months ended June 
30, 1996.  This was not due to any one factor but reflects the effect of timing
differences.

Selling and Administrative expenses increased approximately $6,000 or 1% when 
comparing the quarter ended June 30, 1996 to the comparable period in 1995.  
The increase was not attributable to any one factor.

Interest Expense increased approximately $27,000 comparing the quarter ended 
June 30, 1997 to the comparable period in 1996.  This was primarily due to 
increased borrowings outstanding on the registrant's line of credit during 
this period and the interest on the borrowings to purchase the Alabama Plant.

Results of Operations For the Six Month Period January 1 - June 30

Gross Sales decreased 11% or approximately $699,000  when comparing the six 
month periods of 1997 and 1996.  Management attributes the decrease  to the 
loss of a filling contract at the Alabama Plant.

Cost of Goods Sold remained relatively constant at approximately 63% as a 
percentage of gross sales when comparing the six months ended June 30, 1997 to 
the six months ended June 30, 1996. 

Advertising and promotion expenses increased approximately 19% or $48,000 when 
comparing the six months ended June 30, 1997 to the six months ended June 30, 
1996.  This was primarily due to seasonal variations.

Selling and administrative expenses increased for the six months ended June 
30, 1997 by approximately $14,000  or 1% when compared to the six months ended 
June 30, 1996.  This was not significant.

Interest expense increased in 1997 for the six month period by approximately 
$85,000  when compared to the six month period of 1996 reflecting increased 
levels of borrowings outstanding from the Company's commercial lender during 
this period and the cost of debt associated with the Alabama Plant purchase.
