MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER 1996 COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER 1995
                (Thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)

NET SALES of  $40,898 for the first quarter 1996 represents a 10% decline from
sales of $45,420 for the same period in 1995. Sales in the Plastics Group
decreased 3% as the Plastics Group continued to selectively eliminate low
volume and low margin business in its filter operations.  Automotive business
was down 13%, while the medical and consumer product segments were up
approximately 10%.  Thermoformed sales were up 9% with increases coming from
new medical customers and existing customer growth.  Sales for the Imaging
Group were $19,280, down 17% from the first quarter of 1995 at $23,162.  While
sales were below projections, sales volume in February and March showed a 22%
improvement over January's performance, anticipating a return to more normal
market conditions.

COST OF SALES for the first quarter of 1996 increased to 71% from 69% of net
sales for the first quarter of 1995. The Plastics Group cost of sales decreased
to 81% in 1996 from 83% of net sales in 1995 due to manufacturing efficiencies
and change in product mix.  The Imaging Group cost of sales increased to 59% in
1996 from 55% of net sales in 1995 due to the resulting under absorption of
overhead on the lower sales volume. This increased cost of sales percentage was
experienced by all prepress Imaging divisions.

INCOME  FROM OPERATIONS declined to $3,612 in 1996 from operating income of
$3,745 in the first quarter of 1995. This decline was due to the cost of sales
percentage increase previously described, offset by a 21% decrease in selling,
general and administrative expenses, as the Company has significantly reduced
its administrative cost structure over the last year.

NET INCOME available for Class A common stock was $1,275 in 1996 compared to
$1,271 in the first quarter of 1995 due to the factors described above.  The
Company's effective income tax rate declined from 34% in 1995 to 30% in 1996
due to the reduction of income tax reserves of $170 provided for in prior
years.

PRIMARY AND FULLY DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE remained unchanged at $0.07 in
1996 and 1995.  Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding increased to
19,451 in 1996 from fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 19,359
in 1995 due primarily to the Company's conversion of Series A preferred stock
into Class A common shares during 1995, offset by the Company's purchase of
outstanding shares, and issuance of Class A common shares under the Company's
dividend reinvestment plan.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Long-term debt and capital lease obligations increased to $77,116 in 1996 from
$75,582 in 1995 as the Company borrowed to meet short term working capital
needs.  As of March 31, 1996 the Company had approximately $25,000 available
under its $55,000 line of credit agreements.  The Company's current ratio at
March 31, 1996 was 2.2 with available working capital of $29,824 compared to a
current ratio on March 31, 1995 of 1.5 with available working capital of
$20,925.

The Company believes that available amounts on its existing line of credit
agreement, along with the current level of working capital and the cash
generated from future operations will be sufficient to meet its needs for
working capital, capital expenditures, and the payment of dividends.

Capital expenditures of $3,013 were made during the first quarter of 1996 for
machinery, equipment, automation, and tooling to expand production facilities
and improve productivity.
