                 NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         		      THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 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 March 31, 1996.  The results of operations
for the months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 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 MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
 1995.

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $11,180,969 as compared 
with $9,628,562 in 1995, an increase of 16.1%.  The increase resulted from 
stronger revenues in both the healthcare and airlaid nonwoven segments of the
business.

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was 80.9% of sales 
compared with 79.2% of sales in 1995. This slight increase in the cost of 
sales was due to higher raw material costs, particularly pulp, which had been
purchased in late 1995 and early 1996.  After the first month of the quarter,
raw material costs began to decrease.

Gross profit decreased to 19.1% of sales in the first quarter of 1996 compared 
to 20.8% in 1995.  This was due to higher raw material costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1996 
totalled $2,005,703 or 17.9% of sales compared to $1,691,371 or 17.6% in 1995.

The other income (expense) category increased in the first quarter to $97,105
from $16,859, a change of $80,246. The principal components of this change 
were lower interest expense due to the retirement of long-term debt, and 
higher other income due to a non-recurring loss on the sale of fixed assets 
in 1995.  


The pre-tax income earned in the first quarter of 1996 amounted to $231,020 
compared to $326,480 in 1995, a decrease of $95,460. This change was 
primarily due to reduced gross profit margin performance in 1996 partially 
offset by increased other income.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 amounted to $138,720 
compared to $197,570 in 1995, a decrease of 29.8%.  Net income per share was 
$.08 in 1996 compared with $.12 in 1995 and reflects a weighted average of 
1,692,476 shares outstanding in both years.

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 March 31, 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.
