              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 JUNE 30, 1998


(1)  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as of June 30, 1998 and December
     31, 1997, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash
     Flows for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, in the opinion of the
     Company, reflect all adjustments (which, except as noted below, include
     only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
     financial position, the results of operations and cash flows, as of/and for
     the periods then ended.  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 S.E.C. rules and regulations, although the Company believes
     that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
     misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed Financial Statements be
     read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the Notes, thereto,
     included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year-ended
     December 31, 1997.

(2)  The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(3)  It is the Company's policy to take an annual physical inventory, in
     conjunction with the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements. At
     times, other than year-end, it is necessary to estimate the breakdown of
     raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods inventories.  The
     estimate for the period ended June 30, 1998, and the components of the
     December 31, 1997 inventories, based on the physical count, both primarily
     on a LIFO basis, were as follows:

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                                 JUNE 30, 1998


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Net sales for the second quarter, 1998 increased 3.4% over the prior year period
and represented the second highest sales quarter in the Company's history.
This, on top of the first quarter which was our highest quarter ever, resulted
in record net sales for any six month period of $29,586,000 and represented a
5.3% increase over the prior year.  These results were attained even though 
hampered by a decline in international business for the quarter of 21%
due primarily to the economic and currency turmoil experienced in the Pacific
Rim.

For the three months ended June 30, 1998, gross profit dollars and gross profit
percentage increased as compared with last year as the result of the increased
sales volume combined with the positive effects of our price increase.  Gross
profit for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 8.6% to $9,694,000 as
compared to 1997.

Operating profits were up 10.2% for the Second Quarter ended June 30, 1998, as
compared to the Second Quarter, 1997.  This was due primarily to the increase
from gross profit and the reduction in operating expenses as a percentage of
sales, representing continued cost containment. Operating expenses for the first
six months of 1998 were $6,688,000 as compared to $6,332,000 for the same period
in 1997 and this increase was due to the cost of new product introductions and
higher promotional expenses aimed at gaining market share.

Interest income was $3,000 for the Second Quarter ended 1998, and $7,000 for the
first six months of 1998, as compared with $9,000 and $40,000, respectively, for
the comparable periods of 1997.  This decrease for the quarter is attributable
to a decrease in funds available for investment. Interest expense related to
short term borrowings under the aforementioned Line of Credit was $29,000 for
the Second Quarter ended 1998 and $40,000 for the first six months of 1998.
Interest expense for the Second Quarter of 1997 and the first six months of 1997
was $8,000.  Other income, net was $2,000 for the Second Quarter ended 1998, and
$5,000 for the first six months of 1998 compared to other income, net of $6,000
and $16,000, respectively, for the comparable periods of 1997.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
                                        
                                 JUNE 30, 1998


Net income for the Second Quarter ended June 30, 1998 increased 8.4% to $930,000
or 26 cents per share, up from $858,000, or 24 cents per share in the Second
Quarter, 1997. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, net income was $1,831,000
or 51 cents per share, up from $1,606,000 or 45 cents per share for the first
half of 1997.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL POSITION:

The Company had working capital of $21.0 million at June 30, 1998 and $19.9
million at December 31, 1997.  This represents a current ratio of 3.7 and 7.2
for these periods, respectively.

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments represented 2.3% and 3.6% of
this working capital at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 which, when not in
use, is invested in bank certificates of deposit, Euro dollar certificate
investments, and a managed portfolio of high quality variable rate notes and
tax-exempt seven day bonds.  This decrease is due primarily to significantly
higher sales during the second quarter of 1998.

The Company had shareholders' equity of $30.1 million at June 30, 1998 and $29.1
million at December 31, 1997 which, when compared to total liabilities,
represented an equity to liability ratio of 3.8 and 8.5, respectively.

The Company has more than sufficient capital resources and is in a strong
financial position to meet business and liquidity needs as they arise.  The
Company foresees no unusual future events that will materially change the
aforementioned summarization.
