NOTE E - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

         Earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average
number of shares outstanding. The effect of common stock equivalents on earnings
per share is not material.

NOTE F - TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

In September 1996, the Board of Directors voted to terminate the Company's
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) effective September 30, 1996, the end of
the 1996 plan year. Accordingly, all participants became fully vested on that
date. The unallocated shares of stock held by the ESOP were sold at market value
to the Company and retired. The proceeds were used to reduce the principle
balance of the loans. All shares allocated to the participants will be
distributed to the participants.

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



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased by 10% to $7.7 million
compared to $7.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The medical,
consumer and industrial segments experienced sales increases. Net income for the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased by 25% to $350,000 ($.11 per share) from
$280,000 ($.09 per share) in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in
net income resulted from the combination of higher sales volume and lower
expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to the first 
quarter of fiscal 1996.

         The Company's medical sales increased by 11% to $3.9 million in the
first quarter this year from $3.5 million in the same quarter last year due
mainly to an increase in unit sales of mattress overlays, patient positioners,
and static mattresses. Management expects that sales of medical products will be
higher in fiscal 1997 than in fiscal 1996 as a result of an agreement, dated 
June 1, 1996, to become the exclusive supplier of a national distributor's 
private label foam products. However, an increase in
convoluted foam product sales could result in a lower gross profit margin
percentage on medical foam products.

         Sales of consumer products during the first quarter rose by 21% to $1.6
million from $1.3 million in the same period last year. The increase was due to
a promotion of convoluted foam mattress pads and pillows. Management expects
that consumer foam sales will increase during the next two quarters of fiscal
1997 primarily due to higher sales of TerryFoam products.

         Contract packaging sales decreased 4% to $1.5 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 due to a lower volume of medical contract packaging
products. Management expects that contract packaging sales will be slightly
higher in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996.

         Industrial foam product sales increased by 11% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 to $795,000 from $715,000 in the same quarter last fiscal year. The
increase was primarily the result of higher sales to existing customers.
Industrial foam sales in fiscal 1997 are expected to be higher than in fiscal
1996.

The Company's gross profit increased by 4% to $2.2 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 from $2.1 million in the first quarter last year. However, the
gross profit margin percentage

                                        8

<PAGE>



decreased to 28.1% from 29.7%. The decrease in gross margin percent was due to
the higher sales volume of lower margin products during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. Management expects that the Company's gross margin percentage for
fiscal 1997 will be slightly higher than that of fiscal 1996.

         Sales and marketing expenses remained level at $1.1 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the same quarter last year. Total sales
and marketing expenses for fiscal 1997 are expected to be lower than those of
fiscal 1996.

         General and administrative expenses decreased by $30,000 (5%) in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
General and administrative expenses for the full 1997 fiscal year are expected
to be similar to those of fiscal 1996.

Non-operating income decreased by $8,000 (15%) to $82,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 as compared to the same quarter last year. Management expects
non-operating income in fiscal 1997 to remain at a level similar to fiscal 1996.

                  During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company paid
dividends of $82,000, or 23% of net income. This payment represented one
quarterly dividend of $.025 per share.

                  The statements contained in "Results of Operations" which are
not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Management wishes to caution the reader that these forward-
looking statements such as the Company's expectations for future sales
increases as compared to previous periods are forecasts. Actual events or
results may differ materially as a result of risks facing the Company. Such
risks include, but are not limited to: the loss of a major distributor of
the Company's medical or consumer products, the inability to achieve 
anticipated sales volume of medical products, changes in relationships with
large customers, the impact of competitive products and pricing, government
reimbursement changes in the medical market, F.D.A. regulation of medical
device manufacturing, raw material cost increases, and other risks referenced
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company generated cash from operations of approximately $1.2 
million during the first quarter of fiscal 1997. In addition, working capital 
expanded by $299,000 or 4%, during the three months ended December 28, 1996. The
increase in working capital was caused primarily by higher securities available 
for sale and lower accounts payable. The Company's current ratio increased 
to 3.8 at December 28, 1996 from 3.4 at fiscal year end 1996.

         Accounts receivable, net of allowances, declined 12% to $5.1 million at
the end of the first quarter of 1997 as compared to $5.7 million at the end of
fiscal 1996. All of the Company's accounts receivable are unsecured.

         Inventories increased by $104,000, or 3%, during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 to $3.6 million. The increase reflects normal monthly fluctuations
in raw material and finished goods inventories. Management expects a slight
decrease in inventory levels during fiscal 1997.

         Net property and equipment decreased by $120,000, or 2%, during the
first three months of fiscal 1997. The change resulted primarily from normal
depreciation expense and capital expenditures. Management expects that capital
expenditures

                                        9

<PAGE>



during fiscal 1997 will be higher than those of fiscal 1996.

         Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, increased by $133,000. The
change was primarily due to the Company's issuance in October of 31,474 shares
of its common stock at an approximate market value of $170,000 as additional
purchase price pursuant to the agreement by which the Company acquired
Healthflex in February 1992. Other assets decreased slightly to $1.9 million as
compared to $2.0 million at fiscal year end 1996.

In September 1996, the Board of Directors voted to terminate the Company's
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) effective September 30, 1996, the end of
the 1996 plan year. Accordingly, all participants became fully vested 
in unallocated shares on that date. All allocated shares will be distributed 
to the participants pursuant to the plan. As of September 30, 1996, the ESOP 
held 42,875 shares of unallocated Company stock. These unallocated shares 
were repurchased and retired by the Company at fair market value on the 
purchase date of $4.52 per share. The ESOP used the proceeds of this sale plus 
additional contributions from the Company to fully retire the loans which 
were secured by the unallocated shares and guaranteed by the Company.

        In November 1996, the Company repurchased 45,000 of its 
common stock for approximately $193,000 ($4.28 per share) in a 
private transaction from an unaffiliated seller. The repurchased shares 
will be retired.

         The Company's trade accounts payable declined by $332,000 or 16% as
compared to fiscal year end 1996. Accrued and sundry liabilities increased by
$232,000 or 24% because of increases in accrued medical insurance and income
taxes payable which were not offset by a decline in accrued property taxes.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

         Inflation was not a significant factor for the Company during the first
quarter of fiscal 1997. Higher inflation rates could impact the Company through
higher raw material costs. The Company's profit margin could be adversely
affected to the extent that the Company is unable to pass along to its customers
any increased costs.
