                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE 1:  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The interim financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in
     accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
     in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
     rules and regulations. In the opinion of Management, the interim financial
     statements include all normal adjustments and disclosures necessary to
     present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 1997,
     and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ended
     September 30, 1997 and 1996. These statements should be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the
     fiscal 1997 annual report.

NOTE 2:  RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128),
     "Earnings Per Share," which replaces the presentation of basic and diluted
     earnings per share on the face of the income statement for all entities
     with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of both the
     numerator and denominator of the basic and dilutive earnings per share
     computations. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements for both
     interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997 (second quarter
     of fiscal 1998 for the Company). The Company does not expect a material
     impact on earnings per share upon adoption of SFAS No. 128.

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS No. 130), "Reporting
     Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and
     display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses,
     gains, and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.
     SFAS No. 130 is effective for financial statements for annual periods
     beginning after December 15, 1997 (fiscal 1999 for the Company). The
     Company does not expect adoption to have a significant impact on its
     financial statements.

NOTE 3:  NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

     The computation of net income per common share is based on the weighted
     average common shares outstanding for the period, including common share
     equivalents. Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of stock
     options and common shares to be issued under a deferred compensation plan
     of 188,000 and 245,000 shares, respectively, for the three month periods
     ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

NOTE 5:  CASH DIVIDENDS

     The Company paid cash dividends (including special year-end dividends) of
     $955,000 and $722,000 in the three month periods ended September 30, 1997
     and 1996, respectively. In October, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors
     declared a $.0625 per share regular quarterly cash dividend ($596,000)
     payable on November 18, 1997 to shareholders of record November 10, 1997.

NOTE 6:  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Company has a non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan and a certain
     portion of the Plan investments are in common shares of the Company. As of
     September 30, 1997 a total of 32,854 common shares at a cost of $416,000
     were held in the Plan, and, accordingly, have been recorded as treasury
     shares.

NOTE 7:  SALES TO MAJOR CUSTOMERS

     The Company's sales in its Image Group (see discussion in Management's
     Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations)
     to a major customer, Chevron U.S.A., represented 11% of consolidated net
     sales in both of the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and
     1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

         Net sales of $43,957,000 in the first quarter of 1998 increased 19%
over first quarter net sales last year of $36,885,000. Quarterly results of the
Image Group in fiscal 1998 include the operations of the Company's new graphics
subsidiary, Grady McCauley, which was acquired June 30, 1997. Image Group net
sales increased 28% and Commercial / Industrial Lighting Group net sales
increased 2% during fiscal 1998. The increase in Image Group sales is
attributed to strong sales growth in the petroleum / convenience store market,
as well as to the inclusion of Grady McCauley in the operating results in
fiscal 1998. Sales in the Image Group to the petroleum / convenience store
market represented 46% and 47% of net sales in the first quarters of fiscal
1998 and fiscal 1997, respectively. The Company has one customer, Chevron
U.S.A., which accounted for 11% of net sales (reported in the Image segment) in
the first quarter of both fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997. The Company believes
that it continues to maintain a good business relationship with this customer;
however, the level of total sales is never assured in the future. While sales
prices were increased, inflation did not have a significant impact on sales in
1998 as competitive pricing pressures held price increases to a minimum.

         Gross profit of $15,519,000 increased 28% over last year's gross
profit of $12,140,000, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 35.3% in
the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 as compared to 32.9% in the same period
last year. The increase in gross profit is due primarily to the 19% increase in
net sales, to changes in lighting product mix to higher margin products, and to
improved manufacturing operating efficiencies in the Company's lighting
business. Increased volume and favorable customer program mix in the Company's
graphics operations also contributed to the increased gross profit. Selling and
administrative expenses increased to $10,729,000 from $8,805,000 primarily as a
result of increased sales volume and the addition of Grady McCauley. As a
percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were 24.4% in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to 23.9% in the same period last year.

         The Company reported net interest expense of $15,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to net interest income of $97,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 reflective of the significantly reduced amount of
short-term cash investments during the quarter. Cash which had been invested
was used at the end of fiscal 1997 for the acquisition of Grady McCauley. The
Company's effective tax rate was 37.5% in the first quarter of both fiscal 1998
and 1997.

                                     Page 8


<PAGE>   9


         Net income of $2,975,000 increased 39% over $2,136,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997. The increased net income resulted from increased gross
profit on higher net sales, partially offset by increased operating expenses,
reduced interest income, and increased income taxes. Per share earnings in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 of $.31 compares to $.23 per share in the same
period in fiscal 1997. The weighted average common shares outstanding increased
5% in 1998 to 9,683,000 shares from 9,240,000 shares in 1997 primarily as a
result the common shares used in the acquisition of Grady McCauley in June
1997.

         Certain recently issued accounting pronouncements will affect the
Company's future financial statements and / or disclosures. See Note 2 to these
financial statements for additional discussion.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At September 30, 1997 the Company had working capital of $32.3
million, compared to $30.2 million at June 30, 1997. The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities increased to 2.24 to 1 from 2.22 to 1. The
increased working capital is primarily attributed to increased inventories and
accounts receivable, and reduced accounts payable, partially offset by
increased accrued expenses and notes payable to bank.

         The Company generated $1.6 million of cash from operating activities
in the first three months of fiscal 1998 as compared to $2.2 million of cash
generated in the same period last year. The Company generated less cash in the
first three months of fiscal 1998 primarily due to significant inventory
increases in fiscal 1998 as compared to a significant decrease in fiscal 1997.
This decreased cash flow was partially offset by increased net income, and
increased depreciation and amortization expenses, as well as by reductions in
accounts payable and other accrued expenses in fiscal 1998 as compared to net
increases in fiscal 1997. As of September 30, 1997, the Company's days sales
outstanding were at approximately 59 days as compared to 64 days at June 30,
1997.

         In addition to cash generated from operations, the Company's primary
source of liquidity continues to be its lines of credit. The Company has two
revolving lines of credit totaling $20 million, all of which was available as
of October 28, 1997. The Company believes that the total available lines of
credit plus cash flows from operating activities is adequate for the Company's
anticipated 1998-1999 operational and capital expenditure needs. The Company is
in compliance with all of its loan covenants. Capital expenditures of $.9
million in the first three months of fiscal 1998 compare to $.6 million in the
same period last year. Expenditures in fiscal year 1998 are primarily related
to tooling for new products and to expansion of certain of the Company's
graphics operations. Capital expenditures totaling approximately $5 million are
planned for fiscal year 1998.

         In October 1997, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly
cash dividend of $.0625 per share ($596,000) to be paid November 18, 1997 to
shareholders of record on November 10, 1997.

         The Company continues to seek opportunities to invest in new products
and markets, and in acquisitions which fit its strategic growth plans in the
lighting and graphics markets. The Company believes that adequate financing for
any such investments or acquisitions will be available through future
borrowings or through the issuance of common or preferred shares in payment for
acquired businesses.
