NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Financial Statements presented herein and these notes are
unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company
believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made,
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for
a full year. As such, these financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's most
recent Form 10-K which was filed for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.
NOTE 2 - FISCAL YEARS AND INTERIM PERIODS
The Company has a 52 or 53 week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday
nearest March 31. Each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks. The last quarter is
adjusted for those years which have 53 weeks. The ending dates for the periods
ended June 30, 1996, March 31, 1996 and June 30, 1995 were actually June 30,
1996, March 31, 1996 and July 2, 1995, respectively.
NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (first-in,
first-out method) or market. The net inventory balances are as follows:

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In the first quarter of Fiscal 1997, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". As allowable under SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to
disclose in the notes to the financial statements the impact on net income and
net income per share as if the fair value based compensation cost had been
recognized. The Company will reflect this disclosure in the notes to the March
31, 1997 fiscal year end consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars in thousands)

The table below should be read in conjunction with the following

</TABLE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 ("First Quarter
1997") were $52,855, an increase of $8,374, or 18.8%, over the three months
ended June 30, 1995, ("First Quarter 1996") revenues of $44,481. Revenues from
International operations were $23,032, an increase of $5,450, or 31.0%, over
First Quarter 1996 International revenues of $17,582. If exchange rates
had remained constant from First Quarter 1996, International revenues would have
increased $7,833 or 45.1%. International revenues accounted for 43.6% of First
Quarter 1997 total revenues, up from 39.5% of total revenues in First Quarter
1996. On a percentage basis and at constant exchange rates, all international
subsidiaries experienced double digit revenue growth over the comparable period
from last year. Revenues from North America were $29,823, an increase of
$2,924, or 10.9%, over First Quarter 1996 revenues of $26,899. North American
revenue growth was principally the result of new product introductions over the
last 15 months.
Gross profit in First Quarter 1997 increased to $28,437, or 53.8% of
revenues, from $25,084, or 56.4% of revenues, in First Quarter 1996. The dollar
increase was primarily due to increased volumes. The change in gross profit
margin is due to the revaluing of intercompany receivable amounts denominated
in currencies other
7
<PAGE> 8
than the U.S. dollar. The decrease in margin is primarily due
to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese Yen in First
Quarter 1997 compared to First Quarter 1996.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in First Quarter
1997 were $17,195, or 32.5% of revenues, an increase of $1,643 over SG&A
expenses of $15,552, or 35.0% of revenues, in First Quarter 1996. SG&A
decreased as a percentage of revenues as the Company was able to leverage
its existing support structure. The dollar increase relates to additional
marketing and personnel costs at international locations.
Operating income before amortization in First Quarter 1997 increased
to $11,242, or 21.3% of revenues, from $9,532, or 21.4% of revenues, in First
Quarter 1996, as a result of higher revenues and gross profit partially offset
by higher SG&A expenses. Operating income in First Quarter 1997 increased to
$10,297, or 19.5% of revenues, from $8,591, or 19.3% of revenues, in First
Quarter 1996.
Net interest expense in First Quarter 1997 declined to $1,131 from
$1,586 in First Quarter 1996 as a result of lower average borrowings and lower
average interest rates.
The estimated annual effective income tax rate of 44.0% for Fiscal
1997 is higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state
income taxes and the unfavorable impact of non-deductible intangibles
amortization.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company continues to meet all of its cash requirements through
cash flow from operations. During First Quarter 1997, cash flow from operations
after investing activities of $3,125 enabled the Company to reduce debt by
$3,052. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had $2,171 in cash and cash
equivalents, working capital of $32,483 and long-term debt of $37,541.
The Company's long-term debt at June 30, 1996 was comprised of $21,400
under the Mellon Credit Agreement, $16,000 of Senior Notes, and $141 of various
other loans. The weighted average interest rate on all indebtedness of the
Company as of June 30, 1996 was approximately 8.2% compared to 8.6% as of June
30, 1995. In addition, at June 30, 1996, the Company had $17,298 of additional
funds available under the Mellon Credit Agreement.
The Company has entered into, on a selective basis, forward exchange
contracts to reduce foreign currency exposure related to certain intercompany
inventory transactions. At June 30, 1996, the open foreign exchange contracts
were exclusively in Yen. The value of such open contracts was approximately
$5,642. The effect of these contracts on net income for the three month period
ended June 30, 1996 was not material.

The Company believes that its cash flow from operations and existing
credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy its liquidity needs for the
foreseeable future. This statement is made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as there
are important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statement. Such factors include significant
changes in worldwide competition or the occurrence of significant downward
economic conditions in several of the large countries in which the company
operates.
