                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
                                 ``UNAUDITED''


 1.In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements
   contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position
   and results of operations for the period covered in this report.  These
   statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the
   Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended
   December 31,1996.

   The internal accounting for the Company is on a fiscal calendar quarter
   basis.  The fiscal quarter dates may vary from the calendar quarter dates,
   (i.e. September 27 vs. September 30 for the third quarter 1997), except
   for the fourth quarter which ends on December 31.  The differences in
   interim periods are immaterial.

 2.The first nine months of the year are seasonally slower and do not
   represent 75% of the year.

 3.In the first nine months of 1997 $450,000 of dividends were paid on the
   Series G preferred shares.  Of this amount $237,112 was for previously
   reported and accreted dividends.

 4.In the first nine months of 1997, the Company incurred capital lease
   obligations totaling $452,000 in connection with equipment purchases.

 5.The Company anticipates that the effects of applying Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 will have no material impact on
   earnings per share.

 6.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
   accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that
   affect amounts reported in the financial statements.  Actual results could
   differ from those estimates.






                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                             OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THIRD QUARTER 1997 AND NINE MONTHS VS THIRD QUARTER AND
                               NINE MONTHS 1996

 The Company reported net income of $697,048 and income per common share of
 $.08 for the third quarter 1997, compared to net income of $653,286 and income
 per common share of $.07 for the third quarter 1996.  For the nine months
 ended September 30, 1997, the Company recorded net income of $1,098,705 and
 earnings per common share of $.11, compared to net income of $668,119 and
 income per common share of $.06 for the same period a year ago.  Per share
 calculations are made after provision for Series G preferred dividend
 requirements.

 Sales from Company stores were down $368,000, or 8% for the third quarter
 1997, and down $947,000, or 7% on a year-to-date basis, compared to the same
 period a year ago due to fewer Company stores in operation.  Sales from
 comparable stores were flat.

 Fewer Company stores also accounted for reduced Company store cost of sales
 and operating expenses which fell $362,000, or 9% for the third quarter, and
 $904,000, or 8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

 Compared to the same period a year ago merchandise sales were flat for the
 third quarter 1997, but increased $398,000, or 3% on a year-to-date basis, as
 a result of increasing franchisee comparable store sales offset by lower paper
 prices.

 Merchandise cost of sales and expenses declined $208,000, or 2% through
 September 1997, as the cost of increased merchandise sales was offset by the
 Company's first quarter temporary reduction to overhead.  In the third quarter
 of 1996 $363,000 was reclassified into merchandise cost of sales from selling,
 general, and administrative expenses.  Lower costs of certain products
 primarily accounted for the balance of the $642,000 decrease in this category.

 Royalty revenues increased $20,000, or 2% for the third quarter, and $305,000,
 or 9% for the six months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period
 a year ago primarily due to increased franchisee store sales.

 Franchise fees were down $13,000, or 8% for the quarter, and $98,000, or 19%
 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period a
 year ago due to fewer franchise store openings in 1997.

 Investment income increased $45,000, or 87% for the quarter, and $92,000, or
 60% on a year-to-date basis, compared to the same period a year ago primarily
 due to more notes receivable outstanding.

 Telemarketing revenues were up $50,000, or 27% for the third quarter, and
 $215,000, or 46% as of September 30, 1997, compared to the same period a year
 ago primarily due to the Company obtaining additional accounts other than
 portrait marketing for franchisees.

 Advertising costs were up $32,000, or 9% for the quarter, primarily due to the
 timing of expenditures.  As of September 30, 1997 advertising costs declined
 $134,000, or 12% compared to the same period a year ago, due to planned
 reductions to Company store advertising.

 Interest expense increased $7,000, or 6% for the quarter, but decreased
 $48,000, or 13% year-to-date due to lower levels of interest bearing debt.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 Cash used in operating activities increased by $1.2 million primarily due to
 payment of $3 million of additional accounts payable and $960,000 in accrued
 income taxes and accrued bonuses, offset by increased operating income.  The
 increase in other liabilities is primarily due to an increase in deferred
 revenues, $230,000 of which will be recognized as revenue during the year.
 Cash provided by financing activities increased $3.3 million due to increased
 proceeds from bank borrowings.  The proceeds were used to prepay $3 million of
 existing debt and to fund cash used in operating activities.
