              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The financial information included herein is unaudited and does not
include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles; however, such information reflects all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and
results of operations for the interim periods. Certain reclassifications have
been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year
presentations. This report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended June 30, 1999.

         The financial statements included in this Form 10-Q/A have been amended
from the financial statements included in the Form 10-Q filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 1999. The amendments
are a result of certain adjustments identified during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2000 related to inventory and beneficial conversion features of preferred
stock. The effect of the adjustments was to reduce net income attributed to
common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $842,908
as reported on Form 10-Q to $271,225 as reported in this Form 10-Q/A. Basic
earnings per share was reduced from $0.12 to $0.04 and diluted earnings per
share was reduced from $0.10 to $0.04.

         The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

         On July 1, 1999, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Lockwood Sign Group, Inc. ("Lockwood") in exchange for 415,000 shares of our
common stock valued at $1,909,000 and $1,900,000 in cash. Up to an additional
285,000 shares of the Company's $.001 par value common stock (the "contingent
shares") are issuable on a pro-rata basis if Lockwood's net income for the year
ending June 30, 2000 is between $350,000 and $625,000. The contingent shares are
issuable at a rate of 25,909 shares for each $25,000 of net income in excess of
$350,000 up to the maximum of 285,000 shares to be issued for net income of
$625,000 or higher. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the net assets
acquired based upon their estimated fair market values. The excess of the
purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was
$3,840,000, which has been accounted for as goodwill and is being amortized over
40 years. The operating results of Lockwood are included in our consolidated
results of operations from the date of the acquisition.

NOTE 5 - REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

         We have a $10 million revolving line of credit. The line of credit
bears interest, at our option, at either (A) three quarters of a percent over
the bank's prime rate or (B) 325 basis points over LIBOR and matures June 30,
2002. At September 30, 1999, the interest rate was 8.62%. The line of credit is
secured by eligible receivables and inventory and is cross-collateralized with
two letters of credit from the same lender and $4,775,000 in notes payable
secured by the letters of credit. As of September 30, 1999, $4,413,475 was
borrowed against this line of credit.

         We also have, through our Lockwood subsidiary, an additional $2,000,000
revolving line of credit. Advances on the credit line carry an interest rate of
0.5% over prime. The line of credit, which is renewable, initially matures June
22, 2001 and is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory of Lockwood
and its real property in Charlotte, NC. At September 30, 1999, $1,999,736 was
outstanding against this line of credit.

         During the three months ended September 30, 1999, a total of 88,827
options to purchase our common stock were exercised for total cash proceeds of
$67,509.

         Also during the three months ended September 30, 1999, 22,672 shares of
our common stock valued at $86,448 were issued in connection with our 401(k)
plan matching contribution.

         On July 1, 1999, in conjunction with the acquisition of Lockwood, we
issued 415,000 shares of common stock valued at $1,909,000.

         On August 1, 1999, 50,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock were issued for $5 million. The issuance costs of $54,000 reduced
additional paid in capital. The Series A Preferred Stock pays dividends of 5.25%
per year on the last day of March, June, September, and December in each year
and is required to be redeemed by the Company on July 30, 2004. The preferred
stock is entitled to a preference over common stock at liquidation at the
liquidation price of $100 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends and is
convertible into shares of common stock at the conversion price of $3.50 per
share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. Cash dividends of

NOTE 9 - INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

         Our operations are classified into two business segments: image
enhancement displays ("displays") and other.

         The display segment markets and produces custom designed and stock sign
products which are specifically designed for internal and external use by
institutional, governmental and commercial enterprises. The display segment also
provides peripheral services on the sign products such as installation,
maintenance and service.

         Operations within the other segment include the manufacture and sale of
a line of products which, when installed in compressed air lines, substantially
reduce or totally eliminate water and condensate problems and most foreign
contaminants in the air line.

         The following table shows sales and operating income from continuing
operations and other financial information by segment as of and for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998:

NOTE 10 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133). FAS 133 requires companies to recognize all
derivative contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to
measure them at fair value. FAS 133, as amended by FAS 137, is effective for
periods beginning after June 15, 2000. Historically, we have not entered into
derivative contracts. Accordingly, FAS 133 is not expected to affect our
financial statements.

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 our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June
30, 1999, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28,
1999, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference.

         Certain matters addressed in this report may constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to be different
materially from those anticipated by our management. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides certain "safe harbor" provisions for
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this
Quarterly Report on form 10-Q are made pursuant to such act. For more
information on the potential factors which could affect our financial results,
reference should be made to our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999.

         The results of operations for the three months ended September 30,
1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 VS. SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
------------------------------------------------------------

         Our sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 increased by
$6,062,544, or 36% over the same quarter in the prior year. Operating income
decreased by $665,448, or 37%, while net income decreased by $453,140, or 49%.

         The increased sales resulted from increases in the sign and image
enhancement display segment (the "display segment"). The display segment's
sales, which accounted for 97.6% of consolidated sales for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, increased by $6,066,496, or 37%, while filter sales
decreased by $3,953, or 1%, over the same quarter of the prior year. The sales
growth in the display segment can be broken down into internal sales growth of
$228,293 and growth from acquisitions of $5,838,203.

         The acquisition growth in the display segment resulted from the July 1,
1999 acquisition of Lockwood. Excluding the effects of acquisitions, display
segment sales increased from $16,617,877 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to
$16,846,170 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This modest internal growth
rate follows record sales levels during last year's first quarter. We
experienced growth in sales of both our commercial displays and our
institutional displays.

         Our overall gross profit margin dropped to 29.8% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999, -- from 35.2% for the same quarter of the previous year. The
drop in gross margin is due to the drop in margins on the display segment from
35% to 29%, while the filter sales margins increased to 58% from 57%. The
decrease in margins on display segment sales is a result of a change in the
sales mix from last year's first quarter. The current year's first quarter
includes a significant amount of low margin work on certain national accounts
that are expected to produce higher margins in future periods.

         Selling expense increased by 19% from $2,461,240 in the first quarter
of fiscal 1999, to $2,940,511 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This increase
was mostly a result of acquisitions. Selling expenses, as a percentage of sales,
dropped from 14% of sales during last year's first quarter to 13% of sales
during this year's first quarter.

         General and administrative expenses increased from $1,752,058 to
$2,823,096 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
The display segment, which includes the effects of acquisitions, had an increase
from $1,228,114 to $2,122,497. Additionally, corporate general and
administrative expenses increased from $460,803 to $598,515 for the first
quarters of fiscal 1999 and 2000, respectively.

         A majority of the increase in the display segment's general and
administrative expenses came from the acquisition of Lockwood, which added
$570,276. The remainder of the increase is a result of general increases in
operating costs that have been incurred to support the growth of the Company.
The most significant areas of increase have been in personnel costs and
depreciation, as we have continued to invest in our employees and our equipment.
These increased costs will continue to support our growth throughout the
remainder of the fiscal year.

         Corporate general and administrative expenses primarily consist of
executive compensation and benefits, occupancy costs of the corporate office,
and other compliance costs incurred as a result of being


                                       10
<PAGE>

a public company such as legal fees, director fees, SEC and NASDAQ filing costs
and investor relations and publicity costs. From the quarter ended September 30,
1998 to the quarter ended September 30, 1999 corporate general and
administrative costs increased $137,712. A majority of this increase resulted
from increased salaries to executives whose compensation is calculated under a
formula based upon the financial performance of the Company.

         Non-operating items netted to a $280,820 expense for the first quarter
in fiscal 1999 compared to a $352,512 expense in the first quarter of fiscal
2000 - a net increase in expenses of $71,692. The main component of this
increase is interest expense, which increased by $127,617 or 42%, from $305,282
for the three months ended September 30, 1998 to $432,899 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999. A majority of the increase in interest expense is
attributable to the Lockwood acquisition, which contributed an additional
$90,304 in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1999, while
the remaining increase relates to increased debt. The increase in interest
expense was partially offset by increases in interest income and other
miscellaneous income.

         Net income decreased by 49%, from $918,115 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 to $464,975 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. On
a per share basis, basic earnings per share decreased by 78% from $0.18 per
share for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to $0.04 per share for the first
quarter of fiscal 2000. The 32% increase in weighted average shares outstanding
contributed to the reduction in earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share
decreased by 71% from $0.14 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 to
$0.04 for the three months ended September 30, 1999.

         The increase in our basic weighted average shares outstanding is
principally due to shares issued in the acquisition of Lockwood, as well as
convertible preferred stock issued in August 1999 and for net proceeds of
$4,946,000. A portion of these proceeds were used to fund the Lockwood
acquisition and $500,000 was invested in convertible preferred stock of
AmeriVision Outdoor, Inc. The remainder is held for future acquisitions. Common
stock equivalents were anti-dilutive for the quarter ended September 30, 1999
and, therefore, were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per
share.

         AmeriVision is an outdoor electronic media company that owns L.E.D.
(light emitting diode) displays that are used for third party advertising
primarily at major shopping malls. AmeriVision owns and operates the signs and
collects revenue from the advertisers who buy time on the displays. As of
November 12, 1999, AmeriVision had identified sites for its first 150 displays
in major markets, secured advertising for the two displays currently operating,
and received serious expressions of interest from major national advertisers for
its network of displays. AmeriVision expects to have displays operating in major
markets in New York, California and Texas by December 31, 1999. During September
1999, AmeriVision sold two of its displays that were not located at shopping
malls.

         Pursuant to an agreement dated June 28, 1999, we purchased 8,000 newly
issued shares of convertible preferred stock from AmeriVision for $500,000. The
preferred stock pays quarterly cumulative dividends at a rate of 9% per year.
Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, the preferred stock is convertible
into common stock of AmeriVision at the price of $62.50 per share, which upon
issuance would be 80% of the outstanding common stock of AmeriVision. We also
have the option, upon certain conditions, to purchase the remaining 20% of the
common stock of AmeriVision.

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

         Net cash used for continuing operating activities for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 was $2,325,974. Net income for the period provided cash of
$959,921, net of non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, stock
contributions to our 401(k) plan, the change in deferred income taxes and other
non-cash items. This cash provided was offset by a net change of $3,285,895 in
our operating assets and liabilities, consisting primarily of increases in
inventories, receivables, and accounts payable.

         Net cash used for investing activities for the quarter ended September
30, 1999 was $2,347,882 of which $1,844,980 was used to purchase Lockwood,
$539,961 was used for capital expenditures, and $37,059 was provided by the sale
of fixed assets.

         Net cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 was $5,005,789. Of this amount, $4,946,000 (net of issuance
costs) was received from the sale of preferred stock, $860,581 was received
through advances on our lines of credit, and $67,509 was received upon the
exercise of outstanding stock options. Other financing activities included
payments of notes payable and capital lease obligations of $608,676 and
$197,379, respectively, and the payment of preferred stock dividends of $43,750.

         We have a $10,000,000 revolving bank line of credit. Advances on the
credit line carry an interest rate of either (A) 3/4% over prime or (B) 325
basis points over LIBOR, and initially matures June 30, 2002. The line of credit
is collateralized by eligible receivables and inventory and is
cross-collateralized with the two letters of credit from the same lender and the
$4,775,000 in notes payable secured by the letters of credit. As of November 10,
1999, $6,379,843 was borrowed against this line of credit.

         We also have, through our Lockwood subsidiary, an additional $2,000,000
revolving line of credit. Advances on the credit line carry an interest rate of
1/2% over prime. The line of credit, which is renewable, initially matures June
22, 2001 and is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory of Lockwood
and its real property in Charlotte, NC. At November 10, 1998, $2,000,000 was
outstanding against this line of credit.

         During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, we issued 50,000 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for $5 million. The issuance costs of
$54,000 reduced additional paid in capital. The Series A Preferred Stock pays
dividends of 5.25% per year on the last day of March, June, September, and
December in each year and is required to be redeemed by the Company on July 30,
2004. The preferred stock is entitled to a preference over common stock at
liquidation at the liquidation price of $100 per share plus any accrued but
unpaid dividends and is convertible into shares of common stock at the
conversion price of $3.50 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other
adjustments.

YEAR 2000 COMPUTER COMPLIANCE
-----------------------------

         Many existing computer programs only use two digits to identify a year
in the date field, with the result that data referring to the Year 2000 and
subsequent years may be misinterpreted by these programs. If present in our
computer applications or our suppliers and not corrected, this problem could
cause computer applications to fail or to create erroneous results and could
cause a disruption in operations and have an adverse effect on our business and
results of operations.

         Over the last few years, we have analyzed and evaluated all internal
information technology

                                       12
<PAGE>


systems, equipment and operations to ensure their Year 2000 compliance. We have
been actively implementing new systems over the last few years, and believe that
all of our major information technology, including our computer operated
electronic display products, are Year 2000 complaint. Letters of compliance have
been requested from each vendor and, when the need is identified, we intend to
work with our vendors in determining appropriate testing and compliance
processes. Expenditures to remediate Year 2000 issues have not been material and
are not expected to be material in the future.

         We do not assess as high the risks to operations of Year 2000
noncompliance by vendors, since numerous alternate sources of suppliers exist.
However, despite this fact and our efforts to ensure our Year 2000 compliance
and that of our vendors, we could potentially experience a disruption in our
operations as a result of Year 2000 noncompliance of certain vendors, financial
institutions, governmental agencies or other third parties or external systems.
Such a disruption could potentially affect various aspects of business
operations, such as the timeliness of completion and delivery of major

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES.
-------------------------------

         On July 30, 1999, we completed a private sale of 50,000 shares of our
authorized preferred stock designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
for gross proceeds of $5,000,000. The preferred stock is convertible into shares
of common stock at the conversion price of $3.50 per share, subject to certain
anti- dilution and other adjustments.

         40,000 shares of the preferred stock were purchased by Raymond James
Capital Partners L.P., and the remaining 10,000 shares were purchased 5,000 each
by Renaissance Capital Growth & Income Fund III, Inc. and Renaissance U.S.
Growth & Income Trust PLC. We also issued to Raymond James and the two
Renaissance entities warrants to purchase 120,000 shares, 15,000 shares and
15,000 shares, respectively, of common stock at any time prior to July 30, 2004
at the exercise price of $3.50 per share. The exercise price is subject to
certain anti-dilution and other adjustments.

         The Series A Preferred Stock pays dividends at the rate of 5.25% per
year on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year and is
required to be redeemed by the Company on July 30, 2004. The Series A Preferred
Stock is entitled to a preference over common stock at liquidation at the
liquidation price of $100 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

         Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with
holders of common stock as a single class on all matters on which holders of
common stock are entitled to vote. Each share of preferred stock is entitled to
the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which it
is convertible.
