Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

1.	Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 2, 1994, the 
condensed statements of operations for the three months ended October 2, 
1994 and October 3, 1993 and the nine months ended October 2, 1994 and 
October 3, 1993, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine 
months ended October 2, 1994 and October 3, 1993,  have been prepared by 
the Company, without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments 
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present 
fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash 
flows at October 2, 1994 and for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these 
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the 
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1993 
Annual Report to Stockholders.  The results of operations for the period 
ended October 2, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the operating 
results for the full year.

2.	Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly 
owned subsidiary, American Sign & Marketing Services, Inc.  All significant 
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

3.	Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:		  October 2,   January 2, 
                                      		       1994         1994
 Finished goods                            $ 15,770	  $   14,098 
	Work-in-process                           	  1,806      	 1,696 
	Raw materials	                               6,096        4,437 
	Less LIFO inventory reserve                 (3,163)      (2,975)

	Total net inventory                       $ 20,509   $   17,256 	

Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost or market.  Cost is determined 
by the last-in, first-out method (LIFO). 

4.	Earnings Per Share

Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of 
common and common equivalent shares outstanding in each period.   For 
purposes of computing common equivalent shares outstanding, shares relating 
to options have been calculated using the treasury stock method for the 
portion of each period for which the options were outstanding and using the 
fair value of the Company's stock for each of the respective periods.

The weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares 
outstanding at October 2, 1994 were 3,699,088.  


5.	Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 financial statements 
to conform to the 1994 presentation.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A.	Consolidated results of operations for the three months ended October 2, 
1994 (1994 Quarter) compared to the consolidated results of operations for 
the three months ended October 3, 1993 (1993 Quarter):

The Company's sales in the current three month period decreased 22.7% to 
$17,933,000 from $23,192,000 for the same period last year.  The sales 
decrease is due to lower sales to the Company's automotive, fast food and 
bank customers.  The reduction is primarily due to the non-recurrence of a 
number of significant sign changeouts.  

The Company's gross profit margin increased to 19.3% in the 1994 Quarter 
versus 16.6% during the 1993 Quarter.  The increase was primarily due to 
a favorable sales mix combined with cost savings from improved manufacturing
performance at both the Knoxville and Florence manufacturing facilities.
	
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $3,176,000 for the 1994 
Quarter versus $2,467,000 for the 1993 Quarter,an increase of 28.7%.
The increase is primarily a result of the costs of a Company-wide business
process reengineering project. 

Operating income was $285,000 and $1,384,000 for the 1994 and 1993 
Quarters, respectively, a 79.4% decrease.  The lower income was due to both
the decreased sales volume and the costs of the business process 
reengineering project.

Interest expense increased to $192,000 for the 1994 Quarter from $146,000 
in the 1993 Quarter.  This was primarily a result of higher average debt 
balances in the 1994 Quarter.

B.	Consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended October 2, 
1994 as compared to the consolidated results of operations for the nine 
months ended October 3, 1993.

Net sales were $53,342,000 in the first nine months of 1994 as compared to 
$68,440,000 in the first nine months of 1993, a 22.1% decrease.  The 
decrease in sales is primarily attributable to sales reductions across all 
major customer groups, particularly for our bank and fast food customers.  
These customers have not experienced the level of image changeouts that 
occurred in 1993.  

Cumulative gross profit as a percentage of sales at the end of the third 
quarter of 1994 increased to 18.0% from 17.8% at the end of the same period 
in 1993.  The increase was primarily due to an improved sales mix combined
with performance improvements at both the Knoxville and Florence
manufacturing facilities.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 
1994 were $8,872,000 as compared to $8,126,000 during the same period in 
1993, a 9.2% increase of $746,000.  The  increase in expense is primarily the 
result of the costs of a Company-wide business process reengineering 
project which were partially offset by the reduction in other selling, 
general and administrative costs due to decreased sales volume.

Operating income for the first nine months of 1994 of $750,000 was 
$3,308,000 lower than the same period in 1993, a 81.5% decrease.
This was due to lower sales volume along with the costs of the business
reengineering project.

Interest expense of $484,000 for the first nine months of 1994 was 
$85,000 lower than the same period of 1993, a 14.9% decrease.
This was primarily a result of lower interest rates and lower average
principal balances. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $744,000 at 
October 2, 1994 increased $229,000 from the January 2, 1994 balance.  The 
increase was due to increased investments in marketable securities.

At October 2, 1994, the Company had working capital of $23,012,000, an 
increase of $4,299,000 from January 2, 1994.  Funds in the amount of 
$2,557,000 were used by operating activities during the current nine month 
period.  Increases in  inventory to support fourth quarter sales was the
primary use of cash.
 
Investing activities used $1,959,000 during the first nine months of 1993.  
Capital expenditures and marketable security purchases were the primary uses 
of investing funds.  Financing activities provided $4,549,000 of cash.  Net 
borrowings on the revolving line of credit provided the majority of funds from 
financing activities.

The Company's future capital expenditures for fiscal 1995 will relate
principally to the acquisition of new machinery and equipment and furniture
and fixtures designed to increase productivity and factory efficiency. 
The Company believes its cash generated from operations and funds available
under the existing line of credit are sufficient for all planned operating
and capital requirements through the fiscal year 1995.

Seasonality

The Company's sales exhibit limited seasonality, with sales in the first 
quarter generally being the lowest and fourth quarter sales the highest.  
First quarter sales tend to be relatively lower because of weather constraints 
which slow down customer's construction schedules and their pattern of sign 
purchases.
