                                                                          PAGE 6

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


THIRD QUARTER 1995 VERSUS THIRD QUARTER 1994

     Sales for the three month period in 1995 decreased by $734,000 or 10.2%
from those in 1994.  Sales for the Company's album business declined by
$572,000 or 9.5%.  Declining growth in the retail sector as well as some
price erosion for the Company's products were primarily responsible for lower
sales revenues.  Sales for the Company's other product lines decreased by
$162,000 or 13.6%.

     Gross profit margins declined from 19.0% in 1994 to 9.6% in 1995, due to
i) increased costs for the Company's principal raw materials, polypropylene
and paper and ii) an underutilization of the Company's manufacturing
capacity, due to reduced sales, as explained above.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 24.0% of
sales in 1994 to 30.9% of sales in 1995.  The increase of $266,000 is largely
due to i) the marketing and product development costs incurred to support the
introduction of the Company's Kodak photograph album line and ii) increased
legal expenses.

     Interest expense in the third quarter increased by $224,000 over the
comparable period last year.  The increase was a result of higher borrowing
levels to fund operating expenses and to build inventory for the new Kodak
line.


NINE MONTHS 1995 VERSUS NINE MONTHS 1994

     Sales for the nine months of 1995 decreased by $206,000 or 1.1% from
those for the nine months of 1994.  Sales for the Company's photo album
business achieved an increase of $509,000 or 3.5%.  Sales for the Company's
other product lines decreased by $715,000 or 16.3%.  Approximately $900,000
of this decline was due to the disposition during 1994 of Dixie Printing
Company, the microfilm business and the page protector business, offset by
sales increases of $185,000 for the remaining product lines.

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined from 19.1% in 1994 to
8.7% in 1995, due to the reasons noted above for the third quarter.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 27.0% in
1994 to 31.2% in 1995, due primarily to the costs related to the introduction
of the Kodak photograph album line.

     Interest expense increased in 1995 by $508,000 due to the factors noted
above for the third quarter.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash flows used by operating activities were $4,438,000 in the first
nine months of 1995 compared to $3,559,000 in the first nine months of 1994.
Operating losses and a buildup in inventories, to support anticipated sales
increases for the fourth quarter, were primarily responsible for the use of
cash in operations, and were offset somewhat by the collection of trade
receivables.  Capital expenditures to increase production capacity totaled
$349,000.  The Company consummated a financing on May 1, 1995 in the amount
of $6,500,000.  The Company is currently in negotiations with the lenders to
modify certain of the terms of the loans, including a reduction in the
interest rates in exchange for an increased equity participation and a
conversion of a portion of the loans to equity.  During the third quarter the
Company borrowed $700,000 from an affiliated company.  The Company expects
that with improved cash flows from operations, it will be able to support the
cash requirements for the foreseeable future.





                                                                          PAGE 7
