ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE
                        THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 1997

     NET SALES:  Net sales increased $5.7 million, or 18.2%, from $31.1 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to $36.8 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999.  Packaging sales decreased $0.5 million, or 2.0%, from $27.2
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to $26.7 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999.  Promotional sales increased $6.2 million, or 159.0%,
from $3.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to $10.1 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999, due to a higher level of customer promotions.

     GROSS PROFIT:  Gross profit increased $1.8 million, from $5.8 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to $7.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1999.  Gross margins increased from 18.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to
20.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 primarily due to higher plant
utilization related to supporting the higher level of promotional sales.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:  Selling, general and
administrative expenses of $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998
remained constant in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, but decreased as a
percentage of net sales from 4.8% to 4.0% due to the higher level of sales.

     OPERATING INCOME:  Operating income increased $1.9 million, from $4.1
million, or 13.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to $6.0
million, or 16.3% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 primarily
due to the reasons noted above.

     INCOME TAXES:  Income taxes increased $0.8 million, from $0.3 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1999, due to higher earnings.  The Company's effective state and Federal tax
rate was 43% in the first quarters of fiscal 1998 and 1999.

     NET INCOME:  For the reasons noted above, net income increased $1.1
million, from $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to $1.5 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

PRI issued $110.0 million in Senior Secured Notes due 2003 (the "Senior Secured
Notes") in May 1996.  In conjunction with this transaction, the Company also
entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") that, subject to
certain borrowing conditions and limitations, provides for borrowings of up to
$20.0 million.  As of May 31, 1998, there were no outstanding borrowings under
the Credit Agreement.

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $2.2 million in the first
three months of fiscal 1999 from $2.0 million in the comparable period of fiscal
1998.  The increase resulted primarily from a $1.1 million increase in net
income in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the first quarter of
fiscal 1998, partially offset by changes in other working capital items.

Capital expenditures were $2.9 million and $8.4 million for the first three
months of fiscal 1998 and 1999, respectively.  These expenditures, which will
expand production capacity and reduce costs, included (i) the addition of new
production lines and printing equipment, (ii) the expansion of the Company's
manufacturing space and (iii) the engineering and manufacture of new production
molds.  PRI's estimated capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal 1999 are
expected to exceed $25.0 million.  These expenditures are intended to further
expand production capacity and reduce costs.

In June 1998 the Company entered into a long-term operating lease agreement on a
building in Phoenix, Arizona.  This additional facility will expand production
capacity and will be used for the manufacture, warehouse and distribution of
PRI's products.  The plant is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1999.

Although there can be no assurances, the Company anticipates that its operating
cash flow along with the borrowings available under the Credit Agreement, will
be sufficient to meet its operating expenses, projected capital expenditures and
debt service requirements as they become due.

Instruments governing the Company's indebtedness, including the Credit Agreement
and the Indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes, contain financial and
other covenants that restrict, among other things, the Company's ability to
incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other
restricted payments, consummate certain asset sales, enter into certain
transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate with any other person or
sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of substantially all
of the assets of the Company.  Such limitations, together with the highly
leveraged nature of the Company, could limit corporate and operating activities,
including the Company's ability to respond to market conditions to provide for
unanticipated capital investments or to take advantage of business
opportunities.
