Note 5 - Income Taxes

    The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS
No. 109").  The Company anticipates utilizing its deferred tax assets primarily
to the extent of its deferred tax liabilities.  As of October 1, 1997, the
Company had extinguished all of its remaining net operating loss carryforward
for tax purposes.  As a result, the Company has begun providing for federal
income taxes at statutory rates.

Note 6 - Net Income per Common Share

    The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Number 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128").

    Net income per Common Share is calculated by dividing net income after
reduction for dividends on Preferred Stock, by the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding during the three-month period ended December
31, 1997.


Note 7 - Employee Stock Options

    The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Financial Accounting
Standard No. 123 ("SFAS 123").  SFAS 123 allows companies to record compensation
cost based on fair value of stock options, or to continue to record compensation
cost under APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"  (compensation
cost measured as the excess of fair value of the stock over the options price).
For companies using APB 25, the notes to the financial statements must disclose
pro forma net income and earnings per share as if it had used the fair value of
stock options (SFAS 123). The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure
requirements of SFAS 123.


Note 8 - New Accounting Pronouncements

    The Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"),
governing the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components,
and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131"), requiring
that all public businesses report financial and descriptive information about
their reportable operating segments.  Both Statements are applicable to
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  The impact of adopting
SFAS Nos. 130 and 131 is not expected to be material to the consolidated
financial statements or notes to consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

    Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements
which involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic,
competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company's
operations, markets, products, services and prices, and other factors discussed
in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

    The Company had working capital of $2,792,362 as of December 31, 1997, as
compared to working capital of $3,513,514 as of September 30, 1997.  The
decrease in the Company's working capital was due primarily to the Company's
retirement of the outstanding Preferred Stock of $1,000,000 and the
corresponding note payable to a bank for $800,000 recorded as a current
liability.  The proceeds of this loan were used towards the Preferred Stock
redemption. The Company had cash on hand as of December 31, 1997 of $1,108,839,
as compared to $1,659,062 as of September 30, 1997.

    On March 27, 1997, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the
"Agreement") with Fleet Bank, N.A. ("Fleet").  The Credit Agreement provides for
a $2,000,000 term loan ("Term Loan") to the Company and for a $2,000,000
revolving line of credit ("Line of Credit") to the Company.  The Term Loan is
for a term of five years and provides for quarterly principal payments of
$100,000, which commenced on June 30, 1997, with interest payable monthly in
arrears.  The Line of Credit is for a period of two years, and upon the
expiration thereof, unless such Line of Credit is extended, the outstanding
principal amount then outstanding, if any, is due and payable.  Interest on the
Line of Credit is payable monthly in arrears.

    Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan and on the
outstanding principal amount of the Line of Credit will accrue, at the Company's
option, at Fleet's prime rate, as announced from time to time, or the London
Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2%.  Both the Term Loan and the Line of
Credit are secured by all of the Company's assets, pursuant to the terms of
certain security agreements, dated as of March 27, 1997.

    On March 31, 1997, the Company borrowed $2,000,000 under the Term Loan.  The
current outstanding principal amount of $1,700,000 thereof bears interest at a
current rate of 7.858%.  On December 31, 1997, the Company borrowed $800,000 on
the Line of Credit at a current rate of 7.906% per annum.  The proceeds from
such borrowing were used to redeem the remaining 1,000 outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock.  The redemption price of the Preferred Stock was $1,000,000,
the face value of such stock.  To the extent the Line of Credit is not utilized
by the Company, the Company is obligated to pay an annual commitment fee of
 .1875% for the average unused portion of the Line of Credit.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
    The Company is required under the Agreement to adhere to certain affirmative
and negative covenants, and borrowings under the Line of Credit is limited to
80% of eligible accounts receivables and 50% of the inventory of the Company, as
set forth in the Agreement.

    The Company intends to fund its operations in the near term from cash on
hand and from cash flow generated from operations, and from the existing, unused
line of credit from Fleet, as described above (which unused line of credit
equalled $1,200,000 at December 31, 1997).  Except as described herein, the
Company is unaware of any other material commitments which may adversely affect
its liquidity in the near term.


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 1997, as compared to the Three Months Ended
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 31, 1996
- -----------------

    The Company, on a consolidated basis, generated net sales of $4,505,528 for
the three-month period ended December 31, 1997, as compared to net sales of
$3,793,817 for the same period of the prior year.

    The overall approximate 19% increase in sales over the prior year's quarter
was due to an approximate 12% increase in sales at the Company's Setterstix
subsidiary and an approximate 35% increase at its Jackburn subsidiary.  The
increase in sales at both the Setterstix and Jackburn subsidiaries were due
mainly to increases in volume due to higher customer demand for product.

    Gross profit was $1,604,920 (approximate 36% gross profit margin) for the
three months ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $1,290,018 (approximate 34%
gross profit margin) for the same period of the previous year.  The increase in
gross profit was due to the increase in sales, and higher operating
efficiencies.  In addition, the increase in gross profit margin was due to
manufacturing improvements due to the Company's recent investment in capital
expenditures and higher volume which helped reduce fixed overhead applied to
product costs.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $935,906 and $755,959 for
the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The increase
of $179,947 (28%) was due to the fact that the prior years figure was lower due
to the positive effect of a bad debt recovery of $110,000.  The balance of the
increase was due to higher selling expenses as a result of higher sales.

    Interest expense was $38,925 and $24,609 for the three months ended December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The increase is the result of higher debt
principal levels from the prior year as a result of the increased borrowings the
Company has made to redeem its outstanding Preferred Stock.

    The Company generated net income of $360,785 for the three months ended
December 31, 1997, as compared to net income of $449,831 for the same period of
the prior year.

The approximate 20% decrease in net income was the result of the increase in
sales and gross profit offset by higher selling and interest expenses. In
addition, during the prior year the Company utilized the remainder of its
Federal net tax loss carryforward. Therefore Federal tax expenses at December
31, 1997 were $201,000 versus $21,000 during the same period of the prior year.
