Note 1 - In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
         financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
         fairly the financial position as of March 2, 1997 and the results of
         operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 2, 1997 and
         March 3, 1996.

Note 2 - The results of operations for the three-months ended March 2, 1997 and
         March 3, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be 
         expected for the full year.

Note 3   In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS
         No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which establishes new standards for
         computations of earnings per share. Statement No. 128 will be effective
         for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and will require
         presentation of: (1) "Basic Earnings per Share", computed by dividing
         income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
         of common shares outstanding during the period and (2) "Diluted
         Earnings per Share", which gives effect to all dilutive potential
         common shares that were outstanding during the period, by increasing
         the denominator to include the number of additional common shares that
         would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had
         been issued. Had FAS 128 been effective for the three months ended
         March 2, 1997 and March 3, 1996, basic and diluted earnings per share
         would have been as follows:
        
                                                    1997                 1996
                                                    ----                 ----

                      Basic earnings per share      $0.16               $0.06
                      Diluted earnings per share    $0.15               $0.06

                                                                               8

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------
UNAUDITED
- -------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations:
- ---------------------

Three Months ended March 2, 1997 Compared to Three Months ended March 3, 1996.

Net shipments during the first three months of 1997 increased by $623,000 or
1.8% to $35,416,000 from $34,793,000 in 1996 Management believes that shipments
increased primarily from the addition of new dealers, increased purchases by
existing customers and favorable product mix. Partially offsetting was the
elimination of some lower margined product lines in the second half of last year
and the continuation of a lackluster retail environment.

Gross profit during the first three months of 1997 increased by $2,289,000 or
30.5% to $9,793,000 from $7,504,000 in 1996 Gross profit as a percentage of net
shipments during the first three months in 1997 increased to 27.7% from 21.6% in
1996. Positively impacting gross margins were improvement in product mix and
benefits from the manufacturing restructuring that took place during late 1995
and early 1996. Margins in the second, third and fourth quarters of 1996
improved significantly over the first quarter of 1996.

Selling and administrative expenses during the first three months of 1997
increased by $112,000 or 1.8% to $6,477,000 from $6,365,000 in 1996 Selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net shipments during the first three
months of 1997 and 1996 were 18.3%.

Operating income was $3,316,000 versus $1,139,000 in the prior year. The
increase related primarily to higher shipments and improved margins.

Net interest expense during the first three months of 1997 decreased by $31,000
or 28% to $80,000 from $111,000 in 1996. The decrease in net interest expense
resulted from elimination of long-term debt and reduction in short-term
borrowings.

Other income during the first three months of 1997 decreased by $64,000 to
$277,000 from $341,000 in 1996. The decrease in other income was due primarily
to reduced rental income from a vacancy in property located in Christiansburg,
Virginia.

Net earnings during the first three months of 1997 increased by $1,280,000 to
$2,110,000 from $830,000 in 1996 reflecting higher net shipments and lower cost
of shipments

                                                                               9

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------
(UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Liquidity and Source of Capital:
- --------------------------------

The Company has historically financed its operations and capital requirements
with internally generated funds and bank or other financing. The Company has
minimized its working capital requirements by improving operating efficiencies
in various aspects of its business, including inventory and receivable
management, labor productivity and product distribution.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,503,000 during the first three
months of 1997 versus $3,262,000 net cash used in 1996. Fluctuations in net cash
provided by operating activities are primarily the result of changes in
operating income and changes in working capital accounts.

Capital Expenditures were $476,000 during the first three months of 1997 and
$789,000 in 1996. These expenditures were incurred primarily in connection with
maintaining the Company's production capacity and certain additions of equipment
and systems.

Net cash used by financing activities during the first three months of 1997 was
$2,511,000 versus $5,254,000 cash provided in 1996. In 1997, these activities
related primarily to the decrease in short-term borrowings, cash dividends and
purchase of treasury stock.

As of March 2, 1997, the Company has current maturities only on long-term debt
of $389,000.

The Company has unsecured short-term bank lines of credit totaling $15 million.
The interest rates on those lines of credit do not exceed the prime rate. The
amount outstanding under the lines of credit as of March 2, 1997 was
approximately $2.7 million.

Management believes that net cash provided by operating activities and available
bank lines of credit will be sufficient to fund anticipated growth and to meet
the Company's anticipated capital requirements and operating needs through 1997.

Changes in accounting standards. In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued FAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". See note 3 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. This statement is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's reporting of Earnings per Share.
