These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

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
June 30, 1995, the results of operations for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and July 1, 1994, and cash flows for the six- month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and July 1, 1994.


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


Net sales for the second quarter of 1995 increased 12 percent to $137.1 million
compared to the second quarter of 1994, and for the first six months of 1995
increased 11 percent to $261.4 million compared to the same period of 1994,
reflecting increased revenue in all three business segments.  Net income for
the second quarter of 1995 was $1.9 million, versus $2.9 million for the same
quarter last year, as lower operating results in the Commercial Products and
Photofinishing Groups more than offset significantly improved Precision
Technologies results.  Income from continuing operations for the six month
period increased to $1.9 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior year.
Included in the 1994 year-to-date results from continuing operations were
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 Product Group's second quarter sales increased 2 percent to
$83.4 million versus the same period of 1994, the result of significantly
higher copier paper volume as well as increased remanufactured laser printer
cartridge and toner volumes, offset by sales declines in other product areas.
Sales of labels, facsimile paper, tapes and diskettes all declined in the
second quarter of 1995, as volume decreases more than offset the impact of
higher selling prices.  Sales for the first six months of 1995 increased 4
percent compared to the same period of 1994, primarily attributable to higher
sales of labels, toner, copier paper and remanufactured laser printer
cartridges.  Operating profits in the second quarter of 1995 were $2.0 million,
23 percent lower than the second quarter of 1994, due to higher raw material
costs and a less favorable product mix, partially offset by the strong demand
for copier paper and selected selling price increases.  The group's operating
profit for the six months increased from $2.8 million before restructuring
charges in 1994 to $3.1 million in 1995, due primarily to the volume
improvements in the first quarter of 1995, and administrative cost savings
associated with restructuring actions taken in 1994.

Photofinishing Group sales for the second quarter and first six months of 1995
increased 28 percent and 22 percent, respectively, from the comparable 1994
periods.  The inclusion of the European mail-order and Northern Ireland-based
wholesale processing operations acquired in January 1995, and the favorable
exchange impact of a weaker U.S. dollar versus the British pound, more than
offset the impact of significantly lower U.S. mail-order volumes for the year
and lower average prices in the second quarter.  The U.S. business continues to
be affected by aggressive discounting

in the direct mail channel and competing retail channels.  Operating profit for
the second quarter of 1995 was $2.7 million, a decrease of 35 percent from
1994, as lower sales and increased promotional expense in the U.S., and higher
costs and reduced third- party income in the U.K., offset the inclusion of the
European and Irish operating results.  For the six months, operating profit
declined 49 percent to $3.4 million due to the unfavorable factors noted above
and the timing of the completion of the European acquisition which occurred
after the peak holiday volume period.

Precision Technologies recorded net sales of $5.7 million and $10.5 million for
the second quarter and first six months of 1995, respectively, significantly
higher than the comparable 1994 periods.  Operating income rose to $1.1 million
and $1.7 million, respectively, in the three and six month periods this year
versus small losses last year.  The improved sales and profitability reflect
significantly higher sales volumes and improved manufacturing efficiencies as
the operation continues to broaden its product offerings and customer base.
Management believes Precision Technologies will continue to benefit from the
general strength of the computer disk drive industry at least through the end
of 1995.

Administrative expenses increased by 18 percent and 6 percent in the second
quarter and first six months of 1995, respectively, compared to the same 1994
periods, as the impact of including the European and Irish operations was only
partially offset by cost savings associated with restructuring actions taken in
early 1994.  Selling expenses increased as a percentage of sales in both the
second quarter and year-to-date periods of 1995 compared to 1994, due to the
inclusion of the acquired photofinishing businesses, which generally have a
higher ratio of selling expense to sales than the Company's other businesses,
and to higher promotional spending in the U.S. photofinishing operation.
Research and development spending in 1995 has remained fairly consistent with
1994 spending levels as the Company maintains the increased focus on new
product development it began last year.

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 work force 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.

As of June 30, 1995, the provision related to severance costs represents
payments to be made in 1995 to 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 1995 to the Company's original estimate of the costs associated with the
restructuring actions.

The effective tax rate of 40.5 percent for the first six months of 1995 is
higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent due primarily to the
unfavorable impact of non-deductible goodwill and state income taxes.

Working capital increased $5.6 million to $52.4 million from December 31, 1994.
Increases in accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued
expenses from December 31, 1994 are primarily attributable to the acquisition
of the European photofinishing businesses.  The Company also received $6.0
million from the payment of a note received in connection with the 1994 sale of
the Computer Products Group.  The Company has borrowed an additional $33
million of its $75 million revolving credit facility during 1995, with
approximately $25.7 million being used to acquire the European photofinishing
business and the remainder being used to fund tax payments associated with
discontinued operations.  At June 30, 1995, borrowings under the $75 million
revolving credit facility were $60 million.
