NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA.

NOTE 1:        GENERAL

The accounting policies followed during interim periods 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, 1996. Other than Balance Sheet amounts as of
December 31, 1995 and 1996, 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 June 29, 1995, the Company acquired a 49% interest in Monarch Holdings, Inc.
("Holdings"), which had been accounted for using the equity method. On March 3,
1997, the Company acquired the remaining 51% of Holdings for a total purchase
price of approximately $130 million. The Company acquired the 49% equity
interest of Odyssey Partners, L.P. in Holdings for $94.1 million in cash, a
promissory note in the amount of $5.9 million at an annual interest rate of
4.88% payable on January 2, 1998, and five year warrants to purchase (a)
1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.10, at an exercise
price of $17.50 per share and (b) 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock
at an exercise price of $21.875 per share. The warrants have been recorded at a
fair value of approximately $9.7 million at the date of acquisition. Immediately
following the closing of the acquisition, the Company caused Holdings to merge
with and into the Company. Upon completion of such merger, the Chairman of
Holdings and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Holdings each received
125,229 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $19.00 per share, in
exchange for the shares of Holdings common stock owned by each of them. In the
merger, employees of Holdings received incentive stock options to purchase an
aggregate of 995,575 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the
Company's 1990 Employee Stock Option Plan in exchange for outstanding options to
purchase Holdings common stock. The options have been recorded at a fair value
of approximately $16 million at the date of acquisition.

The acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase 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. The purchase price
allocation is not complete and adjustments to goodwill may be necessary.

The operating results of Monarch Marking Systems, Inc., which became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the merger of Holdings
into the Company, are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income beginning March 3, 1997. The following unaudited pro forma results of
operations assume the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 1996. These pro 
forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations 
which may result in the future.

NOTE 7:        NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128" or the
"Statement"), Earnings Per Share ("EPS"), which establishes standards for
computing and presenting EPS, is effective for both interim and annual periods
ending after December 15, 1997. The statement does not permit early application
of its provisions. The statement replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation of basic EPS, as defined. It also requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of income for entities with a
complex capital structure. Had EPS been determined in accordance with SFAS No.
128, the Company's basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been the following pro forma
amounts:

NOTE 8:        INTEGRATION/RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

During the second quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company implemented an
integration and restructuring program associated with the acquisition of Monarch
which reduced operating income by $2.0 million. These charges reduced net income
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 by $1.4 million or $0.05 per share. The
charges include costs to consolidate certain facilities, severance and other
costs. Approximately $1.0 million of these costs have been paid as of June 30,
1997. Additional charges may be incurred during the remainder of 1997. These
charges are not expected to be material to the annual results of operations.

NOTE 9:        EXTRAORDINARY ITEM-LOSS ON EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

On April 11, 1997, Monarch Marking Systems, Inc. ("Monarch"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, completed the purchase of $100 million of principal
amount of Monarch's 12-1/2% Senior Notes due July 1, 2003 (the "Notes"), which
accounted for all of the issued and outstanding Notes. On April 11, 1997, the
payment date, Monarch paid $120.2 million, consisting of $100 million of
principal, $3.5 million of accrued interest, a $13.7 million premium, and a
consent payment of $3.0 million. Upon payment, all of the outstanding Notes were
canceled and the indenture under which they were issued was terminated. The
early redemption of the Notes resulted in a extraordinary charge of $8.6 million
net of tax of $5.1 million.


NOTE 10:       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 15, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with
International Imaging Materials, Inc. ("IIMAK"). The Company will acquire IIMAK
for approximately $200 million in stock. The merger will close early in the
fourth quarter of 1997. The transaction is to be accounted for as a pooling of
interest.

SECOND QUARTER 1997 COMPARED TO 1996
Sales increased to $134.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997
compared to $57.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Foreign-based and export sales increased from $23.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 to $55.1 million for the comparable period in 1997. Sales
from the Company's apparel identification business grew 16% in the three months
ended June 30, 1997 compared with the three months ended June 30, 1996. On March
3, 1997, the Company acquired the remaining 51% of Monarch Holdings, Inc.
("Holdings") that it did not own (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). During the three months ended June 30, 1997 Monarch Marking
Systems, Inc. ("Monarch"), which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
upon the merger of Holdings into the Company, contributed $67.9 million in
sales.

The gross profit was $54.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 1997
compared to $21.3 million in the comparable period of 1996. The gross profit
margin was 40.8% for the current period compared to 37.0% for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $39.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $14.1 million for the comparable
period of 1996. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 29.1% for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 24.6% for the comparable period in 1996.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company implemented an
integration and restructuring program associated with the acquisition of Monarch
which reduced operating income by $2.0 million. These charges reduced net income
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 by $1.4 million or $0.05 per share. The
charges include costs to consolidate certain facilities, severance and other
costs. Approximately $1.0 million of these costs have been paid as of June 30,
1997. Additional charges may be incurred during the remainder of 1997. These
charges are not expected to be material to the annual results of operations.

Operating income was $13.7 million or 10.2% of sales for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 compared to $7.2 million or 12.4% of sales for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.

Equity in net income of affiliate was $1.0 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Interest expense, net was $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997
compared to $0.5 million for June 30, 1996. The increase was primarily due to
debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of Monarch.

Income before taxes was $9.8 million (7.3% of sales) for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 as compared to $7.7 million (13.4% of sales) for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.

The effective income tax rate was 35.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1997
compared to 27.1% for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase is
primarily due to the acquisition of Monarch. The overall effective tax rate is
impacted by many factors including different statutory rates on foreign income.
The lower tax rate in 1996 is attributable to the addition of equity in the net
income of affiliate and 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 which expire through 1999.

Income before extraordinary item for the three months ended June 30, 1997
increased to $6.3 million (4.7% of sales) from $5.6 million (9.8% of sales) in
the 1996 period. Income before extraordinary item per share was $0.21 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $0.20 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996.

The extraordinary item of $8.6 million (net of tax of $5.1 million) was the
result of the early redemption of Monarch's 12-1/2% Senior Notes due July 1,
2003 (see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $2.2 million compared to
net income of $5.6 million in the 1996 period. Net loss per share was $0.08 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to net income per share of $0.20
for the three months ended June 30, 1996.

The effective income tax rate was 33.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
compared to 27.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase is
primarily due to the acquisition of Monarch. The overall effective tax rate is
impacted by many factors including different statutory rates on foreign income.
The lower tax rate in 1996 is attributable to the addition of equity in the net
income of affiliate. The tax rate is below the U.S. statutory federal income tax
rate of 35% due 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 which expire through 1999.

Income before extraordinary item for the six months ended June 30, 1997
increased to $12.0 million (5.6% of sales) from $9.9 million (9.0% of sales ) in
the 1996 period. Income before extraordinary per share was $0.41 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from $0.35 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

The extraordinary item of $8.6 million (net of tax of $5.1 million) was the
result of the early redemption of Monarch's 12-1/2% Senior Notes due July 1,
2003 (see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $3.5 million (1.6% of
sales) compared to $9.9 million (9.0% of sales) in the 1996 period. Net income
per share was $0.12 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $0.35 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Cash provided by operating activities continues to be the Company's primary
source of funds to finance operating needs and capital expenditures. Cash
provided by operating activities as of June 30, 1997 was $1.0 million. Cash
provided by operating activities as of June 30, 1996 was $8.6 million.
Depreciation and amortization was $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997 compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
During the first six months of 1997, capital expenditures were $10.3 million,
compared to $6.5 million during the first six months of 1996. 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 capital expenditures of
$29.2 million for the year ending December 31, 1997.

On March 3, 1997, the Company acquired the 49% equity interest of Odyssey
Partners, L.P. in Holdings for (i) $94,083,750 in cash, (ii) a promissory note
in the amount of $5,907,559 at an annual interest rate of 4.88% payable on
January 2, 1998 secured by a letter of credit issued by Fleet Bank, N.A. and
(iii) five year warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase (A) 1,000,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, par value $0.10 (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise
price of $17.50 per share and (B) 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
at an exercise price of $21.875 per share. The Company financed the cash portion
of the purchase price with the proceeds of a term loan under a $280 million
credit facility with Fleet Bank, N.A. and Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A., as
lead lenders. Immediately following the closing of the acquisition, the Company
caused Holdings to be merged with and into the Company, and as a result of the
merger, Monarch became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On March 13, 1997, Monarch commenced a cash tender offer for its $100,000,000
principal amount 12-1/2% Senior Notes due 2003 (the "Monarch Notes"). The
redemption price was $1,137.50 for each $1,000 of principal of the Monarch
Notes, and the Company paid a consent payment of $30 per $1,000 of principal of
the Monarch Notes to each holder that consented to certain amendments to the
Indenture under which the Monarch Notes were issued. On April 11,1997, the
payment date, Monarch paid $120.2 million to the holders of all of the
outstanding Monarch Notes. Upon payment, all of the outstanding Monarch Notes
were canceled and the indenture under which they were issued was terminated. The
source of the $120.2 million payment was provided under the $280 million credit
facility with Fleet Bank, N.A. and Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A., as lead
lenders.

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.

facility with Fleet Bank, N.A. and Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A., as lead
lenders, consisting of a $140 million term loan facility and a $140 million
revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the term loan and revolving credit
facilities bear interest at rates referenced to the LIBOR rate (with applicable
margins varying in accordance with the Company's attainment of specified
financial tests) or the Prime Rate (as defined) and are guaranteed by the
domestic subsidiaries of the Company. As of June 30, 1997, borrowings under the
term loan and revolving credit facilities were $140.0 and $84.0 million,
respectively, and the amount available was $56.0 million.
