NOTE 3

         Net Income per common share is computed based on the weighted average
         number of common shares outstanding and the potentially dilutive
         effective of stock options during the respective periods. Stock option
         dilution is computed under the Treasury Stock method using the average
         market price of the Company's common stock.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $3,152,000, an increase of
29.1% from the same quarter in the prior year. Sales for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 were $5,099,000, an increase of 8.8% over the same period in the
prior year. Lighting sales increased $572,000 for the second quarter and
$284,000 for the year to date period, as compared to the same periods in the
prior year. In October 1997, the manufacturing of the lighting product line was
moved from California to Minnesota. Because of the inefficiencies associated
with the move, certain sales backlog was not shipped in 1997 and the first
quarter of 1998. However, production exceeded demand in the second quarter and
substantially all past due backlog was shipped. The camera product line accounts
for an increase in sales of $280,000 for the second quarter and $522,000 for the
year to date period, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. A new
zoom lens camera was introduced with shipments beginning in June 1997. Because
of customers' long lead times for product evaluation, orders of the new zoom
lens cameras have progressed at a slower rate than anticipated. However, the
sales demand is improving in 1998. Sales of the third product line, printers,
decreased by $141,000 for the second quarter and $395,000 for the year to date
period, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The sales trend for
the printer line continues to decline because the photographic printer market
continues to experience consolidation and excess capacity.

The gross profit margin for the second quarter of 1998 increased to 26.0% from
24.0% in the second quarter of 1997. The gross profit margin for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 decreased to 18.8% from 21.1% in the prior year period. The
decline for the six months is attributable to the inefficient production of the
lighting equipment line as a result of the move from California to Minnesota.
However, beginning in the second quarter margins improved, a trend that
management expects to continue.

Marketing and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to
14.1% for the second quarter of 1998 from 30.2% for the second quarter of 1997
and decreased to 19.2% for the first six months of 1998 from 33.3% for the same
period in 1997. Marketing and administrative expenses decreased $292,000 for the
second quarter of 1998 as compared to the second quarter of 1997 and decreased
$581,000 for the first six months of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997.
Research, development and engineering expense decreased by $48,000 for the
second quarter of 1998 compared to the second quarter of 1997 and decreased by
$114,000 for the first six months of 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.
The decreases reflect staff reductions as a result of consolidation of
operations in Minnesota.

<PAGE>


As a result of decreased outstanding debt, interest expense decreased by $4,000
in the second quarter of 1998 compared to the second quarter of 1997 and
decreased $13,000 for the first six months of 1998 compared to the same period
in 1997.


LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash decreased $767,000 to $41,000 since December 31, 1997. Operations for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 resulted in $1,110,000 of negative cash flow. In
addition, $259,000 was spent on capital equipment.

At June 30, 1998 the company had borrowed $600,000 under the line of credit. The
Company can borrow up to $1,500,000 under its line of credit. The line is
unsecured, at the prime rate of interest and renewed annually in May.

The Company believes that its cash flow from future operations and available
borrowing capacity will be sufficient to finance operations and capital
requirements.
