                          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, 1998, and the results of its operations
         and its cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.
         These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
         statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 1998 annual report.

NOTE 2:  RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS No. 133), "Accounting
         for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes
         standards for reporting and disclosure of derivative and hedging
         instruments. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of all
         fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company will not be
         affected by this new standard because the Company has no derivative or
         hedging financial instruments.

NOTE 3:  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS No. 130), "Reporting
         Comprehensive Income," which established 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. The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 in the quarter ended
         September 30, 1998. For the periods disclosed, periods ending September
         30, 1998 and 1997, comprehensive income is equal to the net income
         reported.

NOTE 4:  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128),
         "Earnings Per Share," which requires 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. The Company adopted SFAS No. 128
         effective with the second quarter of fiscal year 1998. All prior period
         earnings per share have been restated for the new disclosure.

     (B)   Options to purchase 46,094 common shares during the quarter ended
           September 30, 1997 were not included in the computation of diluted
           earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the
           average fair market value of the common shares.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1997

         Net sales of $53,414,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 increased
22% over fiscal 1998 first quarter net sales of $43,957,000. Image Group net
sales increased 19% and Commercial / Industrial Lighting Group net sales
increased 27% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to the prior year.
The increase in Commercial / Industrial Lighting Group net sales is attributed
to growth in substantially all markets. The increase in Image Group sales is
attributed to growth in substantially all markets and products, particularly
petroleum lighting, graphics, and quick service restaurant. Net sales of the
Image Group to the petroleum / convenience store market represented 47% and 46%
of net sales in the first quarters of fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998, respectively.
While sales prices were increased, inflation did not have a significant impact
on sales in 1999 as competitive pricing pressures held price increases to a
minimum.

         Gross profit of $18,234,000 increased 17% over last year's first
quarter gross profit of $15,519,000, and decreased as a percentage of net sales
to 34.1% in fiscal year 1999 as compared to 35.3% in the prior year. The
increase in amount of gross profit is due primarily to the 22% increase in net
sales. The decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily related to a product
mix of increased lighting sales in the Company's Commercial / Industrial
Lighting Group. Selling and administrative expenses increased to $11,973,000
from $10,729,000 primarily as a result of increased sales volume. As a
percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were at 22.4% in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to 24.4% in the prior year.

         The Company reported net interest income of $74,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to net interest expense of $15,000 in fiscal
1998 reflective of an increased amount short-term cash investments. The
Company's effective tax rate increased to 37.9% in the first quarter of fiscal
1999 as compared to 37.5% in fiscal 1998 primarily due to increased provision of
state and local income tax.

         Net income of $3,912,000 increased 31% over $2,975,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. The increased net income resulted from increased gross
profit on higher net sales, and from the reporting of a larger amount of net
interest income in fiscal 1999 as compared to 1998, partially offset by
increased operating expenses and income taxes. Diluted earnings per share of
$0.40 increased 29% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $0.31 per share in
fiscal 1998. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of
computing diluted earnings per share increased 2% in the first quarter of fiscal
1999 to 9,849,000 shares from 9,683,000 shares in 1998 primarily as a result of
the exercise of stock options during the year.

         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, 1998 the Company had working capital of $43.9 million,
compared to $40.2 million at June 30, 1998. The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities increased to 2.73 to 1 from 2.37 to 1. The increased working
capital is primarily attributed to increased cash, and decreased accrued
expenses and accounts payable, partially offset by decreased accounts receivable
and inventories.

         The Company generated $2.5 million of cash from operating activities in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to $1.6 million fiscal 1998. The
Company generated more cash in the first three months of fiscal 1999 primarily
due to increased net income, and reductions of accounts receivable and
inventories, partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued
expenses. As of September 30, 1998, the Company's day's sales outstanding were
at approximately 53 days as compared to 55 days at June 30, 1998. Accrued
expenses decreased significantly reflective of first quarter payments related to
the Company's compensation and retirement plans, and accounts payable decreased
in line with the flow of inventory replenishment.

         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 $24 million, all of which was available as of
November 6, 1998. These lines of credit are unsecured and expire in fiscal 1999.
The Company believes that the total of available lines of credit plus cash flows
from operating activities is adequate for the Company's fiscal 1999 operational
and capital expenditure needs. The Company is in compliance with all of its loan
covenants. Capital expenditures of $.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1999 compare to $.9 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures totaling
approximately $6 million are planned for fiscal 1999, exclusive of business
acquisitions.

         In October 1998, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly
cash dividend of $.0675 per share ($653,000) to be paid November 17, 1998 to
shareholders of record on November 10, 1998.

         The Company has completed a review of its business systems, office
support systems, and its facilities and equipment with respect to year 2000
programming deficiencies. The review has extended to major suppliers and
customers, and this element of the review is expected to be completed by June
30, 1999. The Company does not anticipate material costs to be incurred to
modify or replace any affected systems. The Company anticipates completion of
this process prior to June 30, 1999.

         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.
