                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  ------------------------------------------

1.  Adjustments
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission and instructions to Form 10-Q.  While these 
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring 
accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair 
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented, they do not 
include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted 
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These statements 
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and 
footnotes thereto included in the Company's 1993 Annual Report as amended on 
Form 10-K/A for further information.

2.  Inventory Pricing  
Inventories consist primarily of purchased goods for sale.  The Company's 
inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, 
first-out (LIFO) method of accounting.  Because the inventory determination 
under the LIFO method can only be made at the end of each fiscal year, interim 
financial results are based on estimated LIFO amounts and are subject to final 
year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.

3.  Acquisition 
Effective March 1, 1994, under the terms of an asset purchase agreement 
consummated in April, 1994, the Company purchased substantially all of the 
assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of Minneapolis-based, T.K. Gray 
Inc., (Gray)  a regional distributor of graphics arts and printed circuit 
supplies and equipment.  The purchase price was approximately $15.4 million 
which was paid in April, 1994.  At March 31, 1994, the liability for the 
acquisition was shown as a current obligation to the extent of the Company's 
short-term investments of approximately $5.2 million (which were redeemed in 
April, 1994) with the balance of approximately $10.2 million (which was funded 
through the Company's revolving credit agreements) included in long-term 
obligations.

The acquisition of Gray (a closely-held Sub-Chapter S corporation) is 
accounted for as a purchase.  Assuming the acquisition had occurred at the 
beginning of the period, unaudited pro-forma sales and net income for the 
three months ended March 31, 1994 would have been approximately $42.3 million 
and $41,000 ($.01 per share), respectively.  For the three months ended March 
31, 1993, unaudited pro-forma sales, loss from continuing operations and net 
income would have been $41.0 million, $321,000 ($.09 loss per share) and 
$307,000 ($.08 per share), respectively.  The pro-forma net income has been 
adjusted, in general, for reductions in officers' compensation pursuant to the 
terms of individual employment contracts with Momentum, reduced legal and 
accounting fees (in-house counsel and audit fees for one entity) and costs 
associated with purchase price adjustments (amortization of intangibles, debt 
service costs, and taxes).

4.  Goodwill
Goodwill, the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net 
assets of acquired businesses, is being amortized on a straight-line method 
over a fifteen year period.  Goodwill, net of amortization, was approximately 
$9.5 million at March 31, 1994 and $.1 million at December 31, 1993.

5.  Dividends
No dividends were paid for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.  The Company has 
no plans to pay any cash dividends.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis
         of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations                                                         
- ---------------------
Net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 was 
$159,000 ($.05 per share) on sales of $34,673,000 compared to a net loss of 
$450,000 ($.12 loss per share) on sales of $30,003,000 for the same quarter 
last year.

The 15.6% sales increase for the quarter over the same quarter last year was 
primarily due to the acquisition of Gray.  Excluding the sales of Gray, the 
Company's sales increase of 1.5% was below expectations.  There are two 
reasons.  First, the industry's major manufacturers have not increased prices 
since early 1993.  Second, and more importantly, the industry's shift away 
from the traditional procedures is accelerating toward the digital preparation 
of text and images for printing.   The Company has anticipated this change in 
demand, and has gradually shifted its organization to increase its 
participation in the areas of the industry which offer continued growth: 
electronic pre-press systems and pressroom consumables.  Revenues from pre-
press systems, which was the Company's first area of emphasis, increased 66% 
(81% with Gray) over last year.  The technical resources which the Company 
believes are required to increase pressroom consumable sales were added during 
the second half of 1993 and are anticipated to begin having a significant 
impact on sales in the second half of the year.

Selling and administrative expenses were 18.6% of sales for the quarter 
compared to 20.3% for the first quarter last year.  This improvement is due to 
the increased sales volume as a result of the Gray acquisition and the expense 
reduction program established in 1993.

The restructure charge for 1993 of $182,000 represents salaries and benefits 
applicable to positions which were eliminated as a result of the divestiture 
of the discontinued operations.

The tax rate on income from continuing operations was 48% for the quarter 
compared to a 34% benefit on the loss for the first quarter of last year. The 
high tax rate for 1994, was due to state tax expenses and nondeductible 
expenses.

Income from discontinued operations represents earnings from the Company's 
Textiles Group which was disposed of in September, 1993.


Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------

The Company had a cash outflow from operating activities of $1.3 million 
during the first quarter. This net outflow was the result of a $2.1 million 
increase in receivables.  Receivables at December 31, 1993 were at a low level 
due to the traditionally lower sales levels in December. The Company 
anticipates improvement in cash flow from operations during the remainder of 
the year.

Cash flow from investing activities for the quarter consisted of $2.4 million 
in additional proceeds from the 1993 sale of discontinued operations offset by 
$49,000 in property and equipment additions and $106,000 in other asset 
additions.  During the second quarter, the Company received an additional $1 
million from the sale of the discontinued operations and expended 
approximately $15.4 million for payment of the acquisition of Gray.

Financing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $70,000.  This was the 
result of the purchase of treasury shares offset primarily by an increase in 
debt.

<PAGE>  

The Company's primary source of debt financing is two revolving credit 
agreements, with a total commitment of $17.5 million, subject to certain 
covenant restrictions.  One agreement expires in July, 1995 and the other in 
January, 1996.  At March 31, 1994, there was no outstanding debt under these 
agreements.

At March 31, 1994, the Company had $5.2 million in short-term investments.  
These investments combined with the revolving credit commitments provide over 
$22 million in available funds.  Approximately $15.4 million was expended in 
April, 1994 to purchase Gray.  The balance of these funds combined with 
anticipated proceeds from operations plus $1.0 million additional proceeds 
from the sale of the discontinued operations provide adequate financing for 
the internal growth of the Company.  Any additional expansion of the Company 
through acquisitions would potentially require additional sources of 
financing.

During inflationary times, the Company's prices generally rise in tandem with 
costs.  Operating results partially provide for the effects of inflation by 
using LIFO inventory accounting, so that the cost of sales generally reflects 
the most recent cost of the inventory sold.  Asset values are based upon 
historical costs that do not necessarily represent either replacement costs or 
result in charges to operations based on replacement costs; however, since the 
Company is not capital intensive, it is the Company's opinion that charging 
operations for replacement costs of long-lived assets would not significantly 
reduce income from operations.

On March 17, 1994, the Company signed an agreement in principle to combine 
with Phillips & Jacobs, Incorporated (P&J), a national distributor of 
photographic and graphic arts supplies and equipment with sales in excess of 
$160 million.  The combination is subject to the execution of a definitive 
agreement, the approval of the shareholders of both Momentum and P&J, 
satisfactory completion of due diligence investigations by both parties, 
receipt of customary regulatory approvals, and satisfaction of certain other 
standard conditions.  Pending the above approvals, the combination is expected 
to be completed in the late summer of 1994.
