          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          (dollars in thousands)

          NOTE 1:  GENERAL:

          The accounting policies followed during the interim periods
          reported on are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
          principles, and are consistent with those applied for annual
          periods as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
          for the year ended December 31, 1994.  Other than Balance Sheet
          amounts as of December 31, 1994, all amounts contained herein are
          unaudited.

          RECLASSIFICATIONS:

          Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to
          conform to the current year presentation.

          NOTE 2:  BUSINESS ACQUISITION:

          On May 2, 1994, the Company acquired, through its wholly owned
          subsidiaries, ownership of the corporate capital of the Italian
          companies Collitex, S.r.l., Astria, S.r.l. and T.I.E., S.r.l.
          (the Collitex Group).  The total purchase price, net of cash
          acquired, was approximately $12.6 million, which includes the
          issuance of 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued
          at $11.20 per share (share amounts adjusted for subsequent stock
          split) and $619 due in April 1997.  In addition, up to $1.5
          million of additional consideration may be paid in April 1997, if
          the average earnings of the Collitex Group in the 1994-96 period
          exceeds a stipulated base level.  Such payments by the Company,
          if any, would represent additional purchase price and,
          accordingly, would increase goodwill.

          On October 10, 1994, the Company acquired, through its wholly
          owned subsidiaries, Orvafin S.r.l. and its affiliates (Orvac), an
          Italian company.  The total purchase price, net of cash acquired,
          was $6.1 million, which includes the issuance of 125,000 shares
          of the Company's common stock, valued at $10.875 per share, and
          $606 due in October 1995.

          The acquisitions of the Collitex Group and Orvac are being
          accounted for as purchases with assets acquired and liabilities
          assumed recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of
          acquisition.  The excess of the purchase price and transaction
          costs over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as
          goodwill.  Liabilities assumed include deferred income taxes
          related to differences between the basis of assets and
          liabilities (principally property, plant and equipment) for tax
          and financial reporting purposes and to certain government grants
          previously received by the Collitex Group and Orvac which would
          be subject to Italian tax if distributed.  The purchase price
          allocation related to certain accruals and reserves is not
          complete and immaterial adjustments to goodwill may be necessary.<PAGE>

          Sales were $50.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
          1995 compared to $36.0 million for the three months ended March
          31, 1994, an increase of 40%.  Domestic sales increased from
          $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1994 to $33.4
          million for the comparable period in 1995.  Foreign-based and
          export sales increased from $9.1 million for the three months
          ended March 31, 1994 to $17.2 million for the comparable period
          in 1995.  Acquisitions made in 1994 subsequent to March 31, 1994
          contributed $5.3 million or 15% to the increase in sales. 
          Exclusive of the acquisitions the Company's apparel
          identification business grew 37%, its labeling systems business
          grew 9% and its electronic systems and bar code products business
          grew 28% in the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared
          with the three months ended March 31, 1994.

          The gross profit was $18.5 million in the three months ended
          March 31, 1995 compared to $12.6 million in the comparable period
          of 1994, an increase of 47%.  The gross profit margin was 36.6%
          for the current period compared to 35.0% for the three months
          ended March 31, 1994.  The improvement is primarily due to higher
          utilization rates at the Company's manufacturing facilities.<PAGE>

          Selling, general and administrative expenses were $12.4 million
          for the three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to $9.2
          million for the comparable period of 1994, an increase of 35%. 
          As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative
          expenses were 24.5 for the three months ended March 31, 1995
          compared to 25.5% for the comparable period in 1994.

          Operating income was $6.1 million or 12.1% of sales for the three
          months ended March 31, 1995 compared to $3.4 million or 9.5% of
          sales for the three months ended March 31, 1994.

          Interest expense, net was $402,000 for the three months ended
          March 31, 1995 compared to $48,000 for March 31, 1994.  The
          increase is attributable to higher levels of bank borrowings
          arising from the acquisitions in May and October, 1994.

          Income before taxes was $5.7 million (11.3% of sales) for the
          three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared with $3.4 million
          (9.3% of sales) for the three months ended March 31, 1994.  The
          increase in pretax profit for the three months ended March 31,
          1995 compared to March 31, 1994 is summarized as follows:

          The effective income tax rate was 31% for the three months ended
          March 31, 1995 compared to 35% for the three months ended March
          31, 1994.  The overall effective tax rate is impacted by many
          factors including different statutory rates on taxable income
          generated on a global basis within different taxing
          jurisdictions.  The lower rate is mainly attributable to lower
          rates on income derived from foreign sources, particularly from
          Hong Kong and in Italy where the companies acquired in 1994
          receive special tax abatement incentives.

          For the reasons discussed above, net income increased in the 1995
          period to $3.9 million, or $0.22 per share from $2.2 million or
          $0.12 per share in the 1994 period.<PAGE>

          Operating activities:
          Cash provided by operating activities continues to be the
          Company's primary source of funds to finance operating needs and
          capital expenditures.  During the first quarter of 1995, cash
          provided by operating activities was $4.6 million.  Cash used in
          operating activities in the first quarter of 1994 was $3.0
          million.  Depreciation and amortization was $2.1 million during
          the first quarter of 1995 compared to $1.3 million in the first
          quarter of 1994.

          Investing activities:
          During the first quarter of 1995 capital expenditures were $1.6
          million compared to $2.4 million during the first quarter of
          1994.  Other than projects for employee safety and environmental
          improvement, all new capital projects are carefully analyzed and
          are required to make a positive contribution on a net present
          value basis, generating an attractive internal rate of return on
          invested capital.  The Company currently anticipates that capital
          expenditures for the year ended December 31, 1995 will
          approximate $10 million.  In addition, the Company intends to
          continue its growth, in part by acquisitions of other
          complementary or related businesses and believes that further
          acquisitions outside the United States would be of important
          strategic value.<PAGE>

          Long-term debt decreased to $12.3 million at March 31, 1995 from
