NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating
results for the forty weeks ended January 6, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended
March 30, 1996.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 1995.

     The computation of earnings (loss) per common share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

NOTE 2 - Notes Payable to Parent

     Notes payable to parent consisted of the following at January 6, 1996
and April 1, 1995 (in thousands): 
                                                January 6,    April 1,

                                                ----------    --------
     Long-term
     ---------
     Unsecured term note payable, interest at
      the prime rate plus 2%, due on demand     $   665       $   593

     Unsecured term note payable, interest at
      the prime rate plus 2.5%, due on demand     1,400         1,400
                                                  -----         -----
                                                $ 2,065       $ 1,993
                                                  =====         =====
     The term notes payable have been classified as noncurrent liabilities
because of restrictions under a loan and security agreement.  Interest
expense on all borrowings from the parent was $52,000 and $48,000 for the
twelve weeks ended January 6,  1996 and January 7,  1995,  respectively, and
$175,000 and $149,000 for the forty weeks also ended January 6, 1996 and
January 7, 1995, respectively.

                           --------------            ---------------
                           1996      1995            1996       1995

     For the twelve weeks ended January 6, 1996, APC's overall volume (based
on tonnage) increased by 1.6% and net sales increased $6,521,000 or 13.8%
over fiscal 1995 third quarter net sales.  For the forty weeks ended January
6, 1996, APC's overall volume (based on tonnage) increased by 5.3% and net
sales increased $24,251,000 or 15.3% over fiscal 1995 sales for the same
period of time.  The increase in net sales in fiscal 1996 is attributable to
increased business resulting from the addition of a customer in December
1994.  Sales to this customer during the third quarter of fiscal 1996
accounted for approximately  25%  of APC's net sales. Year-to-date fiscal
1996 sales to this customer accounted for more than 25% of APC's net sales.

     For the twelve weeks ended January 6, 1996, gross profit decreased by
$176,000 or 14.2% from the corresponding period in fiscal 1995.  Gross profit
as a percentage of net sales was 2.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 as
compared to 2.6% in fiscal 1995.  For the forty weeks ended January 6, 1996,
gross profit decreased by $247,000 or 6.6% from the corresponding period in
fiscal 1995.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the forty weeks
ended January 6, 1996 was 1.9% as compared to 2.4% for the same period of
time in fiscal 1995.  The decrease in gross profit and the gross profit
percentage for the twelve and forty weeks ended January 6, 1996 as compared
to the same period of time in fiscal 1995 is primarily due to lower margins
on sales to the customer added in December 1994.

     For the twelve weeks ended January 6, 1996, selling and administrative
expenses decreased  $77,000  or  7.9%  from the same period in fiscal  1995.
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 1.7% in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to 2.1% in fiscal 1995.  For the
forty weeks ended January 6, 1996, selling and administrative expenses
decreased $63,000 or  2.0%  from the same period in fiscal 1995.  Selling and

                                       6

administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 1.7% for the forty
weeks ended January 6, 1996 as compared to 2.0% for the same period in fiscal
1995.  The decrease in these expenses in the third quarter and year-to-date
fiscal 1996 is primarily due to lower selling expenses attributable to a
reduction in the number of sales employees partially offset by increased
administration payroll and bad debt expenses.

     For the twelve and forty weeks ended January 6, 1996, interest expense
increased by $22,000 and $90,000, respectively, from the same periods in
fiscal 1995.  The increase is primarily attributable to increased interest
rates in fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company recorded cash provided by operating activities of $1,132,000
during the forty weeks ended January 6, 1996 as compared to cash provided by
operating activities of $1,957,000 for the same period of time in fiscal
1995. The cash provided from operating activities during the forty weeks
ended January 6, 1996 is primarily attributable to the following changes in
operating assets and liabilities:  a) receivables decreased by $1,151,000 or
11.9% from April 1, 1995; b) inventories increased $415,000 or 9.6% from
April 1, 1995 and c) accounts payable decreased $108,000 or 1.3% from April
1, 1995.

     Capital expenditures for property and equipment during the forty weeks
ended January 6, 1996 were $297,000.  Fiscal 1996 capital expenditures are
limited to $550,000 pursuant to restrictions in APC's credit facility.

     APC's credit facility provides a revolving line of credit of up to
$9,500,000 with interest at the prime rate plus  2.0%  through November 1997.
A $2 million letter of credit facility is included within the total credit
facility.  At January 6, 1996, APC borrowed $2,997,000 and had letters of
credit of $2,000,000 issued on its behalf.  At January 6, 1996, APC had
available unused borrowing capacity of $3,678,000.  In August and November
1995, APC and its lender entered into waiver and amendment agreements
relating to the Loan and Security Agreement in order to avoid violating
certain financial covenants in fiscal 1996.

     Diana continues to provide certain financial support to the Company and
has loaned the Company $2,065,000 in the aggregate as of January 6, 1996.  In
addition, Diana has provided other financial support to satisfy certain
requirements of the Company.  Diana has no obligation to provide any
additional financial support.  Diana is exploring options with respect to the
Company's investment in APC.
