Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

1.	Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

	The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 3, 1994, the condensed 
statements of operations for the three months ended July 3, 1994 and July 
4, 1993 and the six months ended July 3, 1994 and July 4, 1993, and the 
consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended July 3, 1994 
and July 4, 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 July 3, 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 July 3, 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:      		July 3,      		January 2, 
                         		       				        	1994         	    1994
	Finished goods                   			     $   15,201        $   14,098 
	Work-in-process				 	                         2,442        	    1,696 
	Raw materials	 				                           4,261        	    4,437 
	Less LIFO inventory reserve			               (3,091)       	   (2,975)

	Total net inventory		              	     $   18,813        $   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 July 3, 1994 were 3,706,862.  

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 July 3, 1994 
(1994 Quarter) compared to the consolidated results of operations for the 
three months ended July 4,1993 (1993 Quarter):

	The Company's sales in the current three month period decreased 28.3% to 
$19,438,000 from $27,126,000 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 decreased to 17.4% in the 1994 Quarter 
versus 19.2% during the 1993 Quarter.  The decrease was primarily due to an 
unfavorable sales mix and lower sales volume.
	
	Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $3,075,000 for the 1994 
Quarter versus $3,090,000 for the 1993 Quarter.  The decrease is primarily 
due to a reduction in costs caused by the sales volume decrease discussed 
above.  This was only partially offset as a result of the costs of a 
Company-wide business process reengineering project. 

	Operating income was $306,000 and $2,105,000 for the 1994 and 1993 
Quarters, respectively, an 85.5% decrease.  This was due to decreased sales 
volume.

	Interest expense decreased to $171,000 for the 1994 Quarter from $232,000 
in the 1993 Quarter.  This was primarily a result of lower interest rates 
and lower average principal balances.

B. Consolidated results of operations for the six months ended July 3, 1994,as
   compared to the consolidated results of operations for the six months ended 
   July 4, 1993.

	Net sales were $35,409,000 in the first six months of 1994 as compared to 
$45,248,000 in the first six months of 1993, a 21.7% decrease.  The 
decrease in sales is due to lower sales to automotive, fast food, and 
banking customers.  The reduction is primarily due to the non-recurrence of 
a number of significant sign changeouts.  The Company continues to enjoy 
strong market share positions in the current markets served.

	Cumulative gross profit as a percentage of sales at the end of the second 
quarter of 1994 decreased to 17.4% from 18.4% at the end of the same period 
in 1993.  The decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable sales mix and 
lower sales volume.

	Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first six months of 
1994 were $5,696,000 as compared to $5,659,000 during the same period in 
1993, an increase of $37,000.  The slight 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 six months of 1994 of $465,000 was 
$2,209,000 lower than the same period in 1993.  This was due to the 
decrease in sales volume.

	Interest expense of $292,000 for the first six months of 1994 was $131,000 
lower than the same period of 1993. 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 $814,000 at 
July 3, 1994 increased $299,000 from the January 2, 1994 balance.  The 
increase was due to increased investments in marketable securities.

At July 3, 1994, the Company had working capital of $23,022,000, an increase 
of $4,309,000 from January 2, 1994.  Funds in the amount of $3,023,000 were 
used by operating activities during the current six month period.  Increases 
in  inventory  to support second half sales along with lower customer deposits 
and deferred revenue were the primary uses of cash.  Investing activities used 
$1,017,000 during the first six months of 1993.  Capital expenditures and 
marketable security purchases were the primary uses of investing funds.  
Financing activities provided $4,143,000 of cash.  Net borrowings on the 
revolving line of credit provided the majority of funds from financing 
activities.

The Company's future capital expenditures 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.

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.
