Item 2.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital increased approximately $2.5 million
during the nine months ended July 2, 1999, from $25.2 million at October
2, 1998 to $27.7 million at July 2, 1999.  The increase in working
capital is primarily a result of a $7.3 million increase in inventory
associated with the seasonality of the Company's business as well as the
inventory acquired from the acquisitions of Conlin in January, 1999 and
Larry Black in February, 1999.  This increase was partially offset by
(i) a $1.8 million increase in trade payables and (ii) a $1.8 million
increase in current notes payable.

On April 26, 1999, the Company replaced its existing senior credit
facility with a new credit facility.  The Credit Agreement ("Agreement")
under the new credit facility includes a revolving line of credit of
$30,000,000 and term loan of $10,000,000 with a maturity date of April
26, 2002.  The Agreement provides for reduced interest rates and fees as
well as reduced reporting requirements.  The Agreement also contains
financial and net worth covenants in addition to limits on capital
expenditures.

As of July 2, 1999, the Company had total borrowings under its senior
credit facility of approximately $17.6 million including a term loan of
$9.5 million which is payable in monthly installments of principal and
accrued interest of $167,000 through April 26, 2002, and outstanding
letters of credit for foreign purchases of inventory of approximately
$821,000.  The net increase of $2.5 million in borrowings under the
senior credit facility compared to October 2, 1998 reflects the cash
payments for the Conlin, Larry Black, and Flag A Tag acquisitions, the
stock purchased under the Company's stock buyback program, and cash paid
for the system implementation.
<PAGE>
The Company believes it will satisfy its short-term and long-term
liquidity needs from borrowings under its senior credit facility and
cash flows from operations.

On May 28, 1997, the Company approved the repurchase of up to 1,000,000
shares of its issued and outstanding common stock in the open market
and/or privately negotiated transactions.  On October 28, 1998, the
Company approved a second repurchase program of up to an additional
1,000,000 shares of its issued and outstanding common stock in the open
market and/or privately negotiated transactions.  Such purchases are
subject to price and availability of shares, working capital
availability and any alternative capital spending programs of the
Company.  As of July 2, 1999, the Company repurchased approximately
1,178,000 of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock in the
open market under both repurchase programs.
