                  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 with proceeds from the redemption of short-term 
investments of $5.0 million and the balance of $10.4 million funded through 
the Company's revolving credit agreements.

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, income from continuing 
operations before extraordinary expenses, and net loss for the six months 
ended June 30, 1994 would have been approximately $82.7 million, $364,000 
($.11 income per share), and $256,000 ($.07 loss per share), respectively.  
For the six months ended June 30, 1993, unaudited pro-forma sales, loss from 
continuing operations, and net loss would have been $81.9 million, $1,225,000 
($.34 loss per share) and $13,000 (none per share), respectively.  The pro-
forma results have been adjusted for 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 
$9.4 million at June 30, 1994 and $.1 million at December 31, 1993.

5.  Merger/Merger Expenses
On March 17, 1994, the Company signed an agreement in principle to merge with 
Phillips & Jacobs, Incorporated (P&J), a national distributor of photographic 
and graphic arts supplies and equipment with 1993 sales in excess of $160 
million.  The merger is subject to shareholder approval at a special meeting 
of shareholders to be held on September 1, 1994. Closing of the merger is 
expected to occur immediately after the shareholders' approval.

Through June, 1994, the Company had incurred expenses, primarily professional 
fees, associated with this merger of $620,000.  These expenses, which are not 
deductible for income tax purposes, are shown as an extraordinary item on the 
statement of operations.  The Company anticipates the total merger expenses to 
be approximately $1 million.  In addition, the Company anticipates to incur 
employee severance costs of approximately $700,000.

6.  Dividends
No dividends were paid for the quarter ended June 30, 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                                                         
- ---------------------
Income from continuing operations before extraordinary expenses for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1994 was $366,000 ($.11 per share) on sales of 
$40,332,000 compared to a net loss of $1,009,000 ($.28 loss per share) on 
sales of $30,142,000 for the same quarter last year.  For the six months ended 
June 30, 1994, income from continuing operations before extraordinary expenses 
was $525,000 ($.15 per share) on sales of $75,005,000 compared to a net loss 
of $1,459,000 ($.41 loss per share) on sales of $60,145,000 for the same 
period last year.  After including extraordinary expenses in 1994 and income 
from discontinued operations in 1993, the net loss was $254,000 ($.07 loss per 
share) and $425,000 ($.12 loss per share) for the quarters ended June 30, 1994 
and 1993, respectively.  For the six month period, the net loss was $95,000 
($.03 loss per share) for 1994 and $247,000 ($.07 loss per share) for 1993.

The 34% sales increase for the quarter and 17% increase for the six month 
period, compared to the same periods in 1993, is due to the acquisition of 
Gray in March, 1994.  Excluding the sales of Gray, the Company's sales were 
down 4% for the quarter and 1% for the six month period.  This decline is 
primarily due to extremely weak sales in the Company's west coast locations.  
In general, sluggish sales of consumables, especially those used in pre-press 
operations, have been offset by strong sales of electronic pre-press products, 
systems and services.  For the six month period, revenues from pre-press 
systems increased 58% (81% with Gray) over last year.

Compared to the same periods last year, selling and administrative expenses as 
a percent of sales decreased from 20.6% to 17.4% for the quarter and from 
20.5% to 18% for the six month period.  This improvement is due primarily to 
the increased sales volume as a result of the Gray acquisition and the expense 
reduction program established in 1993.

The restructure and other charges for 1993 of $1,362,000 consists of $1 
million of restructuring expenses for the reorganizing of the Company's sales 
and marketing function (primarily employee severance and relocation costs) and 
$362,000 of salaries and benefits applicable to positions which were 
eliminated as a result of the divestiture of the discontinued operations.  The 
majority of the payments for the reorganizing of the sales and marketing 
function were paid in the third and fourth quarter of 1993 with proceeds from 
the sale of the Textiles Group.

The tax rate on income from continuing operations was 43% for the quarter 
compared to a 36% benefit on the loss for the first quarter of last year.  For 
the six month period, the tax rate on income from continuing operations was 
45% compared to a 35% benefit on the loss for 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.

Extraordinary expenses of $620,000 are costs (primarily professional fees) 
associated with the merger with P&J. The Company anticipates the total merger 
expenses to be approximately $1 million.  In addition, the Company anticipates 
to incur employee severance costs of approximately $700,000.

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

The Company had a cash flow from operating activities of $949,000 during the 
six months ended June 30, 1994. Non-cash expenses of $946,000 increased cash 
flow, while an increase in working capital of $548,000 decreased cash flow. 
The Company anticipates to continue to generate cash flow from operations over 
the remainder of the year.

Cash outflow from investing activities for the six month period was $13.4 
million.  This was primarily due to the purchase of Gray for $15.4 million 
offset by $3.4 million of proceeds received on the sale of the Textiles Group.  
In addition, the Company had additional expenditures of $1.4 million for 
property and equipment additions, other assets, and payment of merger costs.  
During the remainder of the year, the Company anticipates additional merger 
and employee severance costs of approximately $1.4 million.  Additional 
capital expenditures are not projected to be material.

Financing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $7.6 million.  This was 
primarily the result of increased borrowing under the Company's revolving 
credit lines for payment of the Gray acquisition.

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 June 30, 1994, $7.8 million was outstanding under these 
agreements.  The Company believes these credit facilities combined with the 
cash flow from operations provide adequate financing for the Company.

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.

Effects of the Merger
- ----------------------

The merger would create a national distribution company, without incurring the 
financial burdens of acquisition debt, with anticipated annualized revenues of 
approximately $350 million and annualized earnings of approximately $5 
million.  Sales, especially to national accounts, are likely to increase, but 
short-term cost reductions are not expected to be significant.  Borrowings for 
working capital are not expected to increase nor is it anticipated that there 
will be any increase in capital expenditures above current levels.  The 
current ratio will increase somewhat as a result of the merger and working 
capital will increase to over $50 million.  Shareholders' equity will also 
increase substantially to over $45 million, strengthening the combined 
company's balance sheet and improving its borrowing power.
