3.   Subsequent Events:

     On May 1, 1995, the Company closed a senior subordinated loan
transaction whereby the Company received $5,000,000 of loan proceeds from
Pacific Mezzanine Fund, L.P. and its participant (the "PMF Loan").
Additionally, in order to comply with a condition precedent to the closing
of the PMF Loan, Signal Resources, L.P. ("Signal"), an affiliate of the
Company, loaned $1,500,000 to the Company (the "Signal Loan") on
substantially the same terms as the PMF Loan, prior to the closing of the
PMF Loan.  The PMF Loan also contemplates that Signal, Mr. H. P. Park (the
Company's Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer), Mr. David W. Hardee
(the Company's President and Co-Chief Executive Officer), and / or their
affiliates, or a syndicate arranged by any of them, will provide an
additional loan of $1,500,000 (the "Additional Loan") by April 21, 1996.
However, there is no penalty if this Additional Loan is not made.  The PMF
Loan, Signal Loan and any Additional Loan will bear interest at the rate of
thirteen (13%) per cent per annum, payable quarterly.  Repayment of
principal is also on a quarterly basis, commencing twenty-one (21) months
following the closing, through maturity on the seventh (7) anniversary date
of closing.  Repayment of the PMF Loan and the Signal Loan is subordinate
to the Company's bank credit facility with LaSalle National Bank.  The PMF
Loan is secured by a first lien on the Company's machinery and equipment.
The Company has agreed to use the loan proceeds to finance the development
of the Company's Kodak photograph album line, and for working capital
purposes.

     In connection with their respective loans, PMF (including its
affiliate and its participant) and Signal received Warrants (the
"Warrants") to purchase 503,530 and 151,059 shares of the Company's common
stock, respectively.  The Warrants are exercisable for a five (5) year
period commencing on March 31, 1996 at the exercise price of $6.00 per
share, with an automatic net issuance conversion if the closing price of
the Company's publicly traded common stock is at least $16.00 for twenty
(20) consecutive trading days.  The closing price of the Company's common
stock on the American Stock Exchange on May 1, 1995 was $8 3/8 per share.


                                                                     Page 6

<PAGE>
     In the event Signal, Messrs. Park and / or Hardee or any of their
affiliates provide the $1,500,000 Additional Loan by April 21, 1996, such
lender(s) will receive Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 151,059 shares.
If an Additional Loan of less than $1,500,000 is made, the lender(s) will
receive a proportionately reduced number of Warrants.  The issuance of
shares upon the exercise of the Warrants issued, or to be issued, to
Signal, affiliates of the Company, or members of a syndicate arranged by
them, in connection with the Signal Loan or the Additional Loan, is subject
to the approval of a majority of the stockholders of the Company, other
than Signal, Messrs. Park and Hardee and their affiliates.

     In connection with the debt financing, the Company extended the term
of its bank borrowing facility with LaSalle National Bank for an additional
year through June 30, 1997.  Other significant amendments to the loan
agreement included modifications to the monetary thresholds of the
covenants with respect to minimum net worth levels and the restriction of
funds movement from the Company's subsidiaries to the Company.
Additionally, $1,750,000 of intercompany debt due to the Company from KVP
has been subordinated to the Company's bank credit facility.

</TABLE>

FIRST QUARTER 1995 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 1994

     Sales for the three month period in 1995 increased by $719,000 or
14.2% over those in 1994.  Sales for the Company's album business posted a
sales increase of $1,363,000 or 40.0% for the quarter, primarily
attributable to market share gains.  Sales for the Company's operations
located in Brownsville, Tennessee, operating as ProLine Storage Corporation
since September, 1994, decreased by $644,000 or 38.6%.  Approximately
$900,000 of this decline was due to the disposition during 1994 of Dixie
Printing Company, the microfilm division and the government division's page
protector business, offset by sales increases of $256,000 for the remaining
divisions.

     Gross profit margins declined from 15.4% in 1994 to 12.7% in 1995 due
to (i) significantly higher costs for polypropylene and paper, the
Company's principal raw materials and (ii) higher overhead costs associated
with the Company's expansion of capacity to handle future expected growth
including expenses in developing and launching the Kodak photo album line,
which is not expected to generate revenues until late in the second quarter
of 1995.

     Selling expenses in relation to sales decreased from 14.1% in 1994 to
13.0% in 1995, due primarily to increased sales to accounts with relatively
lower sales commission.

                                                                     Page 7

<PAGE>

     Interest and general and administrative costs increased by $128,000.
The increase was comprised of (i) additional interest costs of $164,000 due
to higher average borrowing levels and increases in the bank's prime
lending rate, (ii) reduced general and administrative costs of $315,000 as
a result of the restructuring of the Company's Brownsville, Tennessee
operations, and (iii) increased costs associated with the expanded album
division operations to support the launch of the Company's Kodak photo
album line.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash flows from operations of $1,489,000 in 1995 improved $3,097,000
over those for the comparable period in 1994, despite having incurred
larger losses than in 1994.  The collection of trade receivables and an
increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses were primarily
responsible for providing cash from operations, and were offset somewhat
due to a buildup in inventories.  The cash provided by operations was
principally used to repay borrowings under the Company's bank line of
credit.  As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements, and Part II Item 5, the Company consummated a Senior
Subordinated Loan on May 1, 1995.  The Company expects that with the
proceeds from the subordinated loan and improved cash flows from
operations, it will be able to support the cash requirements for its
anticipated growth.

PROSPECTS

     The Company's business strategy since 1993 has been to build the
infrastructure necessary to become the leading manufacturer in the
photograph album business.  This investment for the future growth of the
Company has resulted in the Company's achievement of continuous and
significant market share gains during the past two years.  The Company
achieved a quarterly profit in the fourth quarter of 1994, despite the
significant material cost increases experienced in the last half of 1994,
as it finally achieved sufficient volume levels to profitably utilize its
expanded fixed cost base.  The losses experienced in the first quarter of
1995 were anticipated by the Company due to the seasonal nature of the
business.  Sales volume during the second half of the year, particularly
during the pre-Christmas holiday season, is substantially greater than
during other periods of the year.

     Due to changing global economic conditions, it is not possible to
predict with any assurance the movement of the costs of the plastic and
paper materials used in the Company's production.  Historically, however,
movement of these material costs has been cyclical, and it is management's
belief there will be no significant downward movement until 1996.  The
Company has achieved some success and is continuing to pursue opportunities
to recoup these cost increases through its product pricing programs.

     Of particular significance, the Company announced, on January 10,
1995, the consummation of a license arrangement with Kodak to manufacture
and distribute a new line of Kodak branded photograph album products.  The
product launch is scheduled for the second quarter of 1995.  The
incremental pricing of these branded products will avail the company of a
distinct advantage over its competition in overcoming the higher material
costs currently being experienced by the industry.  Further, consumer
recognition of  a branded product should enhance the Company's ability to
grow its market share.

                                                                     Page 8

     On May 1, 1995, the Company closed a senior subordinate loan
transaction whereby the Company received $5,000,000 of loan proceeds from
Pacific Mezzanine Fund, L.P. and its participant (the "PMF Loan").
