Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
-----------------------------------
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended
September 30, 1999
Net sales increased $4,344 or 35%, for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
The large increase in sales was due to several reasons. First, the
Company's acquisition, in June 2000, of Uniflex, a heat shrink label
manufacturer, contributed $2,584 in sales for the three months ended
September 30, 2000. Second, several of the Company's global
consumer product customers launched new products during the
three months ended September 30, 2000. Lastly, new customers
contributed to the sales increase as well.
Gross profit increased $1,252 as compared to the same period in the
prior year. The Company's recent acquisition contributed $1,024 to
gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The
additional increase in gross profit was attributable to the volume
increase and the continued improvement of efficiencies and waste
reduction realized at the Scottsburg, Indiana manufacturing facility.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $435 as
compared to the same prior year period. The increase was primarily
attributable to additional expenses incurred as a result of the
companies acquired in 1999 and 2000.
Interest expense increased $303 as compared to the same period in the
prior year and was the result of higher average interest rates and
increased debt levels. The Company increased debt in connection with
the acquisitions in 1999 and 2000 by $14,050.
Income tax expense totaled $477 for the three months ended September
30, 2000. There was minimal income tax expense recorded for the same
period in the prior year. The Company now records income tax expense
as the Company expects to fully utilize net operating loss
carryforwards and no longer requires a valuation allowance to be
recorded against tax assets recorded on the Company's balance sheet.
The net income for the period was $733 ($.28 per diluted share) as
compared to net income of $783 ($.26 per diluted share after payment
of preferred stock dividends) in the same period in the prior year.
Six Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to the Six Months Ended September
30, 1999
Net sales increased $4,456 or 17%, in the first six months of fiscal
2001 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in
sales was due to several reasons. First, the Company's recent
acquisition of Uniflex contributed $3,466 in sales for the six months
ended September 30, 2000. Second, several of the Company's global
consumer product customers launched new products during the three
months ended September 30, 2000. Lastly, new customers contributed to
the sales increase as well. These sales increases were offset by
several of the Company's customers working off inventories during the
three months ended June 30, 2000 that were built up in 1999 in
anticipation of potential Y2K interruptions.
Gross profit increased $1,741 or 43% as compared to the same period in
the prior year. Gross profit margin for the first six months of fiscal
2001 was 19% as compared to 15% for the same period in the prior year.
The increase in gross profit margin was attributable to the Company's
recent acquisition as well as the continued improvement of
efficiencies and waste reduction realized at the Scottsburg, Indiana
facility.

<PAGE> 9
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $571 as
compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was
attributable to additional expenses incurred as a result of the
companies acquired in 1999 and 2000.
Interest expense increased $520 as compared to the same period in the
prior year and was the result of higher average interest rates and
increased debt levels. The Company increased debt in connection with
the acquisitions in 1999 and 2000.
Income tax expense increased $844 as compared to the same period in
the prior year. There was minimal income tax expense recorded for the
same period in the prior year. The Company now records income tax
expense as the Company expects to fully utilize net operating loss
carryforwards and no longer requires a valuation allowance to be
recorded against tax assets recorded on the Company's balance sheet.
The net income for the period was $1,346 ($.53 per diluted share) as
compared to net income of $1,697 ($.57 per diluted share) in the same
period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company is dependent on availability under its Revolving Credit
Agreement, approximately $3,500 at September 30, 2000, and its
operations to provide for cash needs. The Company entered into a new
credit agreement with PNC Bank, Ohio, National Association and another
lender on June 6, 2000 which is a restatement of its prior credit
agreements. The new credit agreement provides for available borrowings
under a revolving line of credit up to a maximum of $5,000. It also
provides for a $7,200 acquisition facility, which was utilized in June
2000 in connection with the Company's acquisition of Uniflex.
Under the terms of the new credit agreement, the Company is subject to
a number of financial covenants. Additionally, the Company is
prohibited from paying dividends on its outstanding stock.
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
("EBITDA") was $2,525 for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to $1,590 for the same period in the prior year. This
increase is due to the increased operating income incurred for the
three months ended September 30, 2000.
Through the six months ended September 30, 2000, net cash provided by
operating activities was $3,401 compared to net cash provided of
$1,650 through the same period of the prior year. The increase was due
to an increase in operating income as well as a decrease in accounts
receivable and inventories (exclusive of the recent acquisition) and a
decrease in the deferred tax asset as a result of expected utilization
of the Company's net operating loss carry-forwards. Through the six
months ended September 30, 2000, net cash used in investing activities
was $8,002 compared to net cash provided of $872 through the same
period of the prior year. The change is due to the acquisition of
Uniflex Corporation on June 5, 2000. In the same period of the prior
year, the Scottsburg, Indiana facility was sold to a third party in a
sale leaseback transaction. Through the six months ended September 30,
2000, net cash provided by financing activities was $4,599 compared to
net cash used of $2,528 through the same period of the prior year. The
increase was due to the loan incurred in connection with the
acquisition of Uniflex.
On October 19, 2000 the Board authorized the repurchase of up to
$250,000 per year of the Company's outstanding common shares subject
to market conditions and other investment opportunities.

<PAGE> 10
The Company believes it has both sufficient short and long term
liquidity financing. The Company had a positive working capital
position of $1,389 and $133 at September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. At September 30, 2000 the Company was in compliance with
its loan covenants and current in its principal and interest payments
on all debt.
The Company intends to make capital expenditures of approximately
$2,500 during fiscal 2001. The Company believes that cash flow from
operations and availability under the revolving line of credit are
sufficient to meet its capital requirements and debt service
requirements for the next twelve months. From time to time the Company
has reviewed potential acquisitions of businesses. While the Company
has no present commitments to acquire any businesses, such an
acquisition may require the Company to issue additional equity or
incur additional debt.
