NOTE 4-   REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

          The Company has a $500,000 revolving bank line of credit.  Advances on
the credit line carry an interest rate of 1% over prime.  The line of credit
matures December 27, 1997, and is collateralized by property, accounts
receivable and inventory.  The agreement providing for the line of credit has
covenants which require the Company to maintain certain financial and operating
ratios, including tangible net worth and interest coverage ratio requirements.
At September 30, 1996 the Company had outstanding advances on this line of
credit of $275,100, which amount is included in long-term debt.

NOTE 5-   ACQUISITION

          On September 7, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
common stock, the 8% cumulative preferred stock and $935,091 of notes receivable
of Don Bell Industries, Inc. for a total consideration of $2,210,000 comprised
of the following:

          1) Cash of $360,000
          2) $750,000 convertible note with the following provisions:
             a) Coupon - 8%, payable semiannually
             b) Conversion price - $5.00 per share
             c) Term- five years payable in equal annual installments beginning
                September 1998
             d) Call provision - 105 in year one declining to 100 in year five
          3) 275,000 shares of common stock
          4) Additional cash, common stock or debt at the Company's option,
             contingently issuable should the market price of the Company's
             common stock not exceed $4 per share for any consecutive 20-day
             period prior to December 31, 1996

          The acquisition is being accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting.  The operating results of this acquisition are included in the
Company's consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

NOTE 6-   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

          During August 1996, the Company made a strategic decision to
discontinue the operations of Heritage Packaging Services, Inc. ("Heritage"),
its package wholesaling subsidiary.  On August 27, 1996, the Company sold
substantially all of Heritage's accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets
for cash proceeds of $35,000 and the assumption of certain liabilities.  During
the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company made an accrual in the aggregate
amount of $115,000 providing for a $57,764 loss on the sale of the net assets of
Heritage, with the remainder providing for estimated losses on operations and
close- down costs.

NOTE 7-   CAPITAL STOCK

          On July 12, 1996, the Company authorized a 5 percent stock dividend,
which was issued August 7, 1996 to holders of record on July 26, 1996.  The
dividend resulted in the issuance of an additional 152,768 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $1 per share.  Net income per share for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 has been retroactively restated to reflect the
effect of this stock dividend.
 

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
          During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, a total of 52,521
warrants to purchase common stock were exercised at a price of $.357 per share
for cash proceeds to the Company of $18,750. In addition, 16,961 shares of
common stock valued at $21,735 were issued in connection with the Company's
401(k) Plan's matching contribution.

NOTE 8-   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

          On October 29, 1996, representatives of MCI orally advised Vision
Trust Marketing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, that MCI has
determined to terminate its agent program.  Vision operates a long-distance
telemarketing operation as an agent of MCI under an agreement that allows MCI to
terminate the agreement on at least 90 days' prior written notice.  Vision has
not yet received written notice of termination from MCI, but is evaluating the
potential impact of MCI's pending termination of its agent program and is
exploring various alternative plans.

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

          The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended June 30, 1996 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
September 26,1996,  which discussion is incorporated herein by reference.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 VS. SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
- ------------------------------------------------------------

          The Company's consolidated sales of $4,278,801 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 increased $1,358,061 or 46% over the prior quarter ended
September 30, 1995.  Operating income of $142,247 for the quarter represented a
decline of $106,786 over the prior quarter operations of $249,033. Income from
continuing operations of $115,645 declined from $231,150.  Net income of
$115,645 was a decline of $85,507 over the prior quarter's income of $201,152.

          Earnings per share from continuing operations of $.04 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 dropped from $.09 in the September 30, 1995 quarter.
Net income per share dropped to $.04 from $.08 per share.  A contributing factor
in the decrease in earnings per share was the increase in the weighted average
number of shares outstanding, which increased 662,912 shares or 26% in the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended September 30,
1995, an impact of $.02 per share.  The higher number of shares outstanding
resulted primarily from the conversion of warrants, the DBI acquisition and
shares issued to the La-Man Corporation 401(k) plan.

          The results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
include the operations of Don Bell Industries, Inc. ("DBI"), which was acquired
in September 1995, and accounted for as a purchase transaction.  DBI's operating
results for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and the one month ended
September 30, 1995 are as follows:

          Absent the acquisition of DBI, consolidated sales of $2,323,360
represented an increase of $94,372 or 4% over the three months ended September
30, 1995.  The gross profit of $1,405,692 was an improvement of $ 50,711 or 4%.
The gross profit margin of 61% was unchanged with the comparative three month
period.

          The filtration division's sales of $438,259 was an increase of $26,505
or 7%, with gross margin decreasing to $263,617 from $275,676 due to product
mix.

          The church and school sign marketing operations' sales of $1,820,137
increased from $1,726,223 in the quarter ending September 30, 1995, an increase
of $93,914 or 5.5% .  Gross margins increased to $1,088,121 from $1,002,569, an
increase of $85,552 or 9%, due to the sales increase and a price increase, which
became effective late in the first quarter of 1996.

          The long-distance telemarketing operations' sales of $ 64,964
decreased from $91,014 in the quarter ending September 30, 1995.  Operating loss
also increased to $155,990 from $60,718 in the quarter ending September 30,
1995.  In October, 1996 the Company was notified by MCI that it is canceling its
agent program. (See Note 7 to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements).

          Excluding DBI, operating expenses of $1,404,311 for the quarter
represented an increase of $148,324 or 12% as compared to the quarter ending
September 30, 1995.  The primary reason for the increase was higher
telemarketing expenses at both the church and school sign operations and the MCI
long-distance  operations.  The addition of new support staff and salary
increases also contributed to the increase.

          Other expenses -net of $26,602 for the three-months ended September
30, 1996 increased from $2,743 for the three months ended September 30, 1995
primarily due to interest expense related to the DBI acquisition partially
offset by higher interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

          Liquidity and capital resources will be discussed in three broad
categories, namely, operating, investing and financing activities.  Cash
available at June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1996  was $112,727 and $28,295,
respectively.

          Net cash used for operating activities in the three- month period
ending September 30, 1996 was $230,387.  Net income of $115,645 and non-cash
charges for depreciation and amortization of $123,219 were more than offset by
the net changes in assets and liabilities of $474,488 and amounts provided by
discontinued operations of $6,380.

          Net cash used for investing activities was $117,164.  Capital
expenditures which amounted to $85,200 was the principle item.

          Net cash provided by financing activities was $263,119.  The Company
took down $275,100 of its line of credit.  Also, the Company made payments on
long-term debt of $26,384 and received $18,750 from the conversion of 52,521
warrants to common stock.  At November 7, 1996 there was $375,100 outstanding on
the line of credit.
