             NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      		      SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

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-Q 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,
the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary to present
fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1996, the results of operations
for the six months and three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash 
flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  For further 
information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1995.

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

The following information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
unaudited financial statements and the note thereto included in Item I of 
this quarterly report, and the financial statements and the notes thereto 
and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results 
of operations contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 
year ended December 31, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED 
   JUNE 30, 1995.

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $10,156,687 as compared 
with $10,339,650 in 1995. The decrease resulted from lower sales of the 
airlaid roll goods product line, partially offset by increased sales in the 
health care and airlaid wiper segments of the business.

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased to 83.7% 
of sales compared with 82.5% in 1995.  The increase was due to operational 
issues including downtime associated with the installation of machine 
enhancements, resulting in unfavorable labor and overhead spending and 
higher training costs.

Gross profit decreased to 16.3% in the second quarter of 1996 compared to 
17.5% in 1995.  The decrease was due to operational issues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1996 
totaled $2,059,607 or 20.3% of sales compared to $1,737,587 or 16.8% of 
sales in 1995.  This change is principally due to increased research and 
development spending and higher professional and consulting fees.

Net other income increased in the second quarter of 1996 to $34,278 from 
$22,433 in 1995, mainly as a result of lower interest expense in 1996.

The pre-tax loss of $370,810 incurred in the second quarter compared with a 
profit of $90,815 in 1995, a decline of $461,625. This adverse pre-tax 
change resulted from a reduced gross profit margin performance in 1996 and 
higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to $226,510 
compared to net income of $58,481 in 1995.  The net loss per share was $.13 
in 1996 compared with net income per share of $.03 in 1995.  The per share 
calculation reflects a weighted average of 1,692,476 shares outstanding in 
both 1996 and 1995.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $21,337,655 compared with 
$19,968,212 in 1995.  The increase of 6.9% resulted from increases in the 
health care and airlaid wiper segments of the business, partially offset by 
lower sales in the airlaid roll goods product line.

Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased to 82.2% of 
sales compared with 80.9% of sales in 1995.  The increase was due to 
operational issues in the second quarter, principally downtime and 
unfavorable labor and overhead spending associated with the installation of 
machine enhancements and to higher raw material costs in the first quarter 
which moderated in the second quarter.

Gross profit decreased to 17.8% of sales for the six months ended 
June 30, 1996 as compared to 19.1% in 1995.  The decrease was due to 
operational issues and higher raw material costs during the first quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended 
June 30, 1996 amounted to $4,065,306 or 19.1% of sales compared to 
$3,428,958 or 17.2% of sales in 1995.  The increase was due to higher 
research and development expenditures as well as higher professional and 
consulting fees.

The pre-tax loss incurred for the six months ended June 30, 1996 amounted 
to $140,010 compared to a pre-tax profit of $417,295 in 1995.  This adverse 
change was principally due to the gross profit shortfall in the second 
quarter and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to $88,010 
compared with net income of $256,051 in 1995.  The net loss per share  was 
$.05 in 1996 compared with net income per share of $.15 in 1995. The per 
share calculation reflects a weighted average of 1,692,476 shares 
outstanding in both 1996 and 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Funds for the Company's current operations are derived from the sale of 
its products and the ability, when necessary, to borrow on a secured line 
of credit with First Fidelity Bank, N.A., New Jersey.  At June 30, 1996, 
none of the above credit line was utilized.

The Company believes that it has adequate funds available to conduct and 
continue to expand its business and that of its subsidiaries. In addition, 
the Company believes that, if necessary, it will be able to make favorable 
financial arrangements for any future capital requirements.
