$1,490,000 after provision for various expenses and fees.  This amount also 
includes the estimated result of discontinued operations during 1995.

The consolidated statements of operations have been restated for all prior 
periods to report the net results of Rytex as loss from discontinued 
operations.  Rytex reported sales of $2,518,000 for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1995 compared to $2,762,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations

On March 14, 1995, the Company determined to seek a buyer for the Rytex 
subsidiary.  The consolidated statements of operations have been restated 
for all prior periods to report the net results of The Rytex Company as 
loss from discontinued operations.

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 increased by 12.9% to 
$18,975,000 from $16,811,000 for the same quarter last year.  For the 
three-month period ended March 31, 1995, the Company reported a net loss of 
$399,000 from net income of $106,000 for the same period last year due to 
the loss from discontinued operations.  Income from continuing operations 
increased 31.3% to $1,091,000 from $831,000 for the same period last year.

Gross profit as a percent of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 
decreased slightly from 1994 levels.  This is primarily due to higher costs 
associated with raw material purchases.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1995 amounted to $5,394,000 as compared to $5,206,000 for the 
corresponding period in 1994.  The increase is generally associated with 
the increased sales volume.

Interest expense, net for the three-month period increased to $310,000 in 
1995 from $194,000 in 1994.  This increase is principally due to higher 
borrowing levels as a result of funding the working capital needs of the 
Rytex operation as well as increased interest rates.

The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 38.3% for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1995 compared to 37.2% for the prior year period.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.2 to 1 at the end 
of the first quarter of 1995, compared to 2.5 to 1 at December 31, 1994.  
Working capital amounted to $23,824,000 at March 31, 1995 compared to 
$20,585,000 at December 31, 1994.  This increase is principally 
attributable to the reclassification of Rytex fixed and other assets to 
current assets held for sale.

In January 1995, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan purchased 150,000 shares 
of the Company's Common Stock at a cost of $1,050,000.

There were no significant changes in capitalization of the Company during 
the periods presented, nor has the Company entered into any significant 
financial arrangement not reflected in the financial statements.  The 
Company expects that available cash and existing lines of credit will be 
sufficient to meet its normal operating requirements.
