                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1996
                                   (unaudited)

Note 1 - Statement of Information Furnished

In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1996, and the
results of operations and cash flows for the three month period ended March 31,
1996 and 1995. These results have been determined on the basis of generally
accepted accounting principles and practices applied consistently with those
used in the preparation of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other period or
for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share amounts are computed based upon the weighted average number
of common shares actually outstanding during the period. Common stock options
and purchase warrants, which are considered common stock equivalents, are not
considered in the average number of shares since the effect would be
anti-dilutive.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 were $2,572,000 as
compared to $3,127,000 for the comparable period of the prior year. The sales
decrease for the three month period of $555,000 or 17.8% was comprised of a
decrease of $361,000 in the sales of backlist titles and a decrease of $194,000
in the sales of new titles. Sales backlog at March 31, 1996 was $7,857,000
compared to $9,017,000 for the prior year. The decrease in sales can partially
be attributed to the record number of shipments in December of 1995 providing
virtually no carryover into the first quarter of 1996. Also the loss of Bedrock
Press, a division of Turner Publishing, as a customer contributed to the
decrease in sales as they provided over $600,000 in sales during the first
quarter of 1995. Backlog is also behind prior year's figures because of the loss
of business with Turner Publishing and the decline in the number of titles the
Company is doing for Disney.

Gross profit margin for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 was 23.8% of
sales as compared to 23.2% for the same period of 1995. Costs of sales consists
primarily of manufacturing costs, book development amortization, and royalties.
Manufacturing costs were $1,647,000 or 64% of sales for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared to $2,073,000 or 66.3% of sales for the same period of
1995. Amortization was $186,000 or 7.2% of sales for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, versus $198,000 or 6.3% of sales for the comparable period of
1995. Royalties for the first three months of 1996 were $103,000 or 4% of sales
compared to $119,000 or 3.8% of sales for the same period of 1995. The increase
in gross profit margin primarily resulted from the higher margins earned on
shipments of mini-books in the first quarter of 1996 which was partially offset
by the increases in amortization and royalties.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended
March 31, 1996 increased to $1,127,000 or 43.8% of sales as compared to
$1,034,000 or 33.1% of sales for the comparable period of the prior year, an
increase of $93,000. These expenses comprised of personnel, selling and
administrative are generally fixed and do not fluctuate with sales. Personnel
expenses were $535,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, as
compared to $546,000 for the same period of 1995. This decrease of $11,000 was
primarily attributable to the Company's measures taken in 1995 to reduce
employees and related personnel expense partially offset by salary increases in
the first quarter of 1996. Selling expenses were $139,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $193,000 for the same period of
1995. This decrease of $54,000 was primarily related to decreases in U.K.
office, travel and sample expenses. The Company's administrative expenses were
$452,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, as compared to
$294,000 for the same period of 1995. The increase was primarily comprised of
acquisition expenses of $128,000, directors' expenses of $31,000 and office
expenses of $21,000 partially offset by smaller decreases in several
administrative expenses. The Company added four new outside directors in the
first quarter of 1996 and also wrote off expenses incurred in the process of
analyzing a prospective acquisition candidate. Office expenses were up primarily
because of the Company's participation in a company workshop.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents were $1,265,000 at March 31, 1996 as compared to
$2,743,000 at December 31, 1995. Net cash provided by operations was $967,000 as
compared to $467,000 for the corresponding period of the previous year. The
$530,000 increase was primarily attributable to a $3,183,000 reduction in
accounts receivable partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of
$1,342,000 and net loss of $324,000. Net cash used in investing activities
amounted to $647,000 as compared to $349,000 during the same period in 1995.
Collections of accounts receivable were high in the first quarter of 1996
primarily because of the exceptionally high billings in the month of December
1995. The cash generated by these collections was the primary factor responsible
for the increase in cash used in investing activities. Working capital at March
31, 1996 was $4,257,000 compared to $4,654,000 at December 31, 1995.

The Company has an obligation to fund the Hunt Group $400,000 in 1996. This
obligation is being paid at the rate of $33,333 per month.

The Company has a $2,000,000 letter of credit line with City National Bank
expiring May 31, 1996, which the Company expects will be renewed. The credit
facility is available only for the issuance of letters of credit and as of March
31, 1996, the Company had $1,969,600 available under this letter of credit
facility.

As of May 1, 1996, the Company did not have any commitments for any material
capital expenditures for 1996 or beyond. Management of the Company believes that
the existing levels of funds, combined with the Company's ability to generate
cash, are adequate to finance current and expected levels of activity as well as
anticipated capital expenditures of the Company for at least the next twelve
months.
