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



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

As reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1995 and 
in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 
December 31, 1995, the Company reduced its product offerings in order to 
focus on its traditional ribbon business for impact printers, particularly 
ribbons for which the Company has molds, and on its toner products line for 
laser printers.  The reduction in sales and the reduction in inventory 
levels in the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1996 from the 
same periods in 1995, are primarily the result of the elimination of 
unprofitable products from the Company's product line and a continuing 
deterioration in the sales of the Company's core products.  In addition, 
inventory levels are lower at March 31, 1996 compared to March 31, 1995 by 
approximately $374,000.

The Company has reduced its manufacturing overhead to be more in line with 
its current rate of sales, which is predominantly responsible for the 
increase in gross profit percentage for the three and nine month periods 
compared to the same periods in 1995.

The Company reduced its selling, general and administrative costs by 
approximately $161,000 for the three months and approximately $510,000 for 
the nine months, ended March 31, 1996, compared to the same periods in 1995, 
to be more in line with the Company's current rate of sales.  Selling, 
general and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
also represented a decrease of approximately $36,000 from the three months 
ended December 31, 1995.

There was no interest expense in the three or nine month periods ended
March 31, 1996 due to the elimination of debt.


















                                 9.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The investment in the Company by Buckeye Business Products, Inc., a Division 
of Bobbie Brooks, Incorporated ("Buckeye"), in 1993, allowed the Company to 
utilize its assets in a more productive manner in an effort to return the 
Company to profitability.

The Company used Buckeye's investment to eliminate the Company's working 
capital debt and the relationship with Buckeye allowed the Company to sell 
its building, eliminate all long-term debt, and substantially reduce 
staffing levels.  This has resulted in improvement in the Company's 
operating results and a reduction in the Company's cash requirements, 
notwithstanding the continuing sales deterioration that began several years 
ago.

On February 15, 1995, the Company announced that it would purchase, from 
time to time in the open market, up to 750,000 shares of its stock.  Through 
May 13, 1996, the Company has repurchased 203,600 of its shares at an 
aggregate purchase price of $164,187.

The Company's current ratio was 7.1 to 1 at March 31, 1996 compared to 5.4 
to 1 at June 30, 1995.  The Company has $3,081,191 in cash and cash 
equivalents and $2,171,747 in marketable securities and other short-term 
investments and no long-term debt at March 31, 1996.  Accordingly, the 
Company believes that its capital resources are more than sufficient to 
support its current and planned levels of operations and its announced stock 
repurchase.

The Company has not generated pretax income in recent years and, therefore, 
the potential future tax benefits of the deferred tax assets, primarily net 
operating loss carryforwards, may not be realized.  Accordingly, a valuation 
allowance has been provided equal to the net deferred tax assets related to 
these potential future tax benefits, which totaled approximately $500,000 at 
December 31, 1995.  Should the Company generate pretax income in future 
years, the tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards and other 
items will be realized, which will have a positive impact on the future cash 
flows, liquidity and capital resources of the Company.

New Accounting Standards

In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting 
standard effective for 1996 that will be applicable to the Company.  SFAS 
No. 121-"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for 
Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of", establishes accounting standards for 
the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and 
goodwill related to those assets to be held and used, and for long-lived 
assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of.  The Company 
has determined the effect upon its adoption to be immaterial to results of 
operations.

           On October 24, 1995, the Company received a proposal from Pubco 
           Corporation ("Pubco") pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary 
           of Pubco would purchase substantially all of the Company's 
           assets, the Company would be liquidated, and the Company's 
           stockholders would receive one share of Pubco's Common Stock for 
           each seven shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by them.  
           On April 25, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors accepted the 
           Pubco proposal, subject to stockholder approval, and authorized 
           the Company to enter into a Sale and Liquidation Agreement, which 
           was executed on April 26, 1996.  The Company's stockholders will 
           consider the matters at a Special Meeting to be held on June 27, 
           1996.
