Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
         FINANCIAL CONDITION

                      (Second Quarter Ended June 30, 1997)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES. The Company's net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 1997
were $4,198,000, an increase of 10%, compared to net sales of $3,800,000 for the
second quarter of 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net sales were
$8,354,000, an increase of 10% compared to net sales of $7,618,000 for the first
half of 1996. Revenue from the sales of the SIGNright system was relatively flat
for the first half of 1997 and was down from comparable sales of the Impulse
Retail System in the first half of 1996. The sale of sign cards used with the
Impulse Retail System and SIGNright system also remain relatively flat. Sales of
Stylus software and related supplies increased substantially in the second
quarter.

GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit for the second quarter of 1997
increased 20% to $2,311,000, compared to $1,935,000 for the second quarter of
1996. Gross profit for the first six months of 1997 increased 16% to $4,597,000,
compared to $3,968,000 for the first half of 1996. The increase in gross profit
for the second quarter and six months of 1997 is primarily due to an increase in
Stylus software sales, which has very high margins. Gross profit as a percentage
of net sales was 55% for the second quarter of 1997, compared to 50.7% for the
second quarter of 1996, and was 55% for the first six months of 1997, compared
to 52.1% for the first half of 1996.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased 20% in the second quarter of
1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996, and increased 13% for the first six
months of 1997, compared to the first half of 1996. Sales expenses increased 22%
and 17%, respectively. The increase reflects higher commissions due to higher
sales. Marketing expenses decreased 14% and 16%, respectively, product
development expenses increased 10% and 4%, respectively, and general and
administrative expenses increased 6% for the second quarter and decreased 3% for
the first half of 1997. The Company incurred $190,000 and $359,000 for the first
quarter and the first half of 1997, respectively, for POPS program operating
expenses as the Company proceeded to kick-off the Insignia POPS program. The
Company expects marketing, general and administrative and product development
expenses to remain flat, sales expenses to increase as sales commissions
increase as sales increase, and POPS program expenses to increase as the
Insignia POPS program gets underway.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 57% in the second quarter
of 1997 and 56% for the first six months of 1997, compared to 53% in the second
quarter of 1996 and 55% for the first half of 1996. The increase as a percentage
of net sales in 1997 was a result of initial POPS program expenses and increased
sales commissions paid. The Company expects its operating expenses as a percent
of net sales to increase as the POPS program operating expenses continue to
increase.

NET INCOME (LOSS). The Company had a net loss of $(95,000), or $(.01) per share
for the second quarter of 1997, compared to a net loss of $(89,000), or $(.02)
per share for the second quarter of 1996. For the first six months of 1997, the
net loss was $(94,000), or $(0.01) per share, compared to

<PAGE>


a net loss of $(183,000), or $(.03) per share for the first half of 1996. The
decrease in net loss for the first half of 1997 was the result of an increase in
sales and an increase in the sale of higher margin items. The net loss for the
second quarter of 1997 was the due primarily to incurring Insignia POPS program
operating expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1997, working capital was $6,543,000, compared to $3,512,000 at
December 31, 1996. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased
$1,288,000 from $598,000 at December 31, 1996 to $1,886,000 on June 30, 1997,
primarily due to the proceeds received from the issuance of common stock, offset
by an increase in accounts receivable, an increase in prepaids and other, and a
decrease in accounts payable. Accounts receivable increased $1,364,000 during
the first half of 1997 due to strong quarter-end sales and the granting of
extended terms. The Company expects accounts receivable levels to grow as sales
volume increases and the extended terms program is continued.

The Company anticipates that its working capital needs will continue to increase
due to the expected growth in the business. However, as a result of the issuance
of additional common stock during the first quarter of 1997, the Company
believes that it will have sufficient capital resources to fund its current
business operations anticipated growth for the foreseeable future.
