In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal 
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of 
March 31, 1995, the results of operations for the three-month periods ended 
March 31, 1995 and April 1, 1994, and cash flows for the three-month periods 
ended March 31, 1995 and April 1, 1994.

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

Net sales of $124.3 million for the first quarter of 1995 were up 10 percent, 
with increased revenue in all three groups.  The Company generated an after-tax 
profit of $70,000 from continuing operations during the period compared with a 
net loss from continuing operations of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 
1994. Included in the results of continuing operations for the first quarter of 
1994 were pretax charges of $.9 million related to a potential acquisition of a 
non-U.S. photofinishing business and a restructuring charge of $2.6 million 
associated with the Company's early retirement program.

The Commercial Products Group's first quarter sales increased 6 percent to 
$83.1 million compared to the first quarter of 1994.  Higher sales of labels, 
toner, copier paper and remanufactured laser printer cartridges were partially 
offset by lower carbonless and facsimile paper sales.  Additionally, price 
increases were implemented in a number of product areas to offset higher raw 
materials costs.  The group's operating profit increased from $.2 million 
before restructuring charges in 1994 to $1.1 million in 1995 due primarily to 
the volume improvements and, to a lesser extent, selected price increases.

Net sales increased 16 percent in the Photofinishing Group to $36.4 million 
compared to the first quarter last year, reflecting the January 1995 
acquisition of a mail-order photofinishing business in Europe and a wholesale 
processing operation in Northern Ireland, as well as weakness in the U.S. 
dollar versus the British pound.  Volume decreased from last year's level in 
the U.S. and U.K. mail-order businesses, which was only partially offset by 
higher average prices. Business in both countries was hurt by unfavorable 
weather, and volume in the U.S. was further affected by aggressive discounting 
by a mail-order competitor and delayed delivery of promotional mailings due to 
the large mail volume immediately preceding this year's postage increase.  The 
operating profit for the first quarter of 1995 of $.7 million compared 
unfavorably to last year by $1.9 million as a result of the lower U.S. and U.K. 
sales volume, the impact of the U.S. postage increase and the timing of the 
completion of the European acquisition which occurred after the peak holiday 
volume period.

Precision Technologies recorded net sales of $4.8 million in the first quarter 
of 1995, a 47 percent increase over 1994, and generated operating income of $.6 
million compared to a small operating loss in 1994.  The improved sales and 
operating income reflect increases in both price and volume attributable to 
Precision Technologies' expanded product offering and the general strength of 
the disk drive industry.

Administrative expenses for the first quarter remained flat compared to the 
first quarter of 1994, as the inclusion of the European photofinishing 
businesses offset cost savings in the remaining operations.  Selling expenses 
as a percentage of sales increased due to the inclusion of the acquired 
photofinishing businesses, which generally have higher selling expenses than 
the Company's other businesses.  Research and development spending in 1995 was 
consistent with the first quarter of 1994, as the Company continues the 
increased focus on new product development it began last year.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>   7
In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of 
$11.8 million related to the integration and streamlining of the operations of 
the Commercial Products Group, including workforce reductions, as well as 
consolidation of facilities and the write-down of certain assets. As part of 
the restructuring plan, the Company offered certain of its employees an early 
retirement program and recorded an additional restructuring charge of $2.6 
million in the first quarter of 1994.

The details of the Company's restructuring reserve remaining at December 31, 
1994 and the activity recorded in the first quarter of 1995 are as follows:

</TABLE>

As of March 31, 1995 substantially all planned employee reductions have taken 
place, and the remaining accrual represents payments to be made in 1995 to 
these former employees. The provision for assets to be sold or discarded 
represents costs associated with holding vacated portions of certain corporate 
and manufacturing facilities during the period until the property can be sold 
or otherwise disposed of. There were no material changes during the quarter to 
the Company's original estimate of the costs associated with the restructuring 
actions.

The estimated annual effective income tax rate of 40.0 percent for the first 
quarter of 1995 is higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the 
unfavorable impact of non-deductible goodwill and state income taxes.

Working capital increased $3.1 million to $49.9 million from December 31, 1994. 
Increases in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable from 
December 31, 1994 are primarily attributable to the acquisition of the European 
photofinishing business. The Company borrowed $31 million of its $75 million 
revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 1995, with approximately 
$25.7 million being used to acquire the European photofinishing businesses, and 
the remainder to fund tax payments associated with discontinued operations. At 
March 31, 1995, borrowings under the $75 million revolving credit facility were 
$64 million.
