                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
and recurring adjustments) have been made as of July 4, 1998 and 
July 5, 1997 to present the financial statements fairly.  However, the
results of operations for the three months then ended are not necessarily
indicative of results for the fiscal year.  The financial statements and
notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q, and do not contain certain
information included in the annual financial statements.  The financial
statements accompanying this report should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report to 
Shareholders for the year ended April 4, 1998.

2. The provision for income taxes is as follows:
                                            Three Months Ended
                                           7/4/98           7/5/97
Income (loss) before income taxes      $  (36,378)        $ 128,521

Provision                                 (12,624)           44,000
Change in valuation allowance                 --            (44,000)        
 
Net provision                          $  (12,624)        $    --

Provisions for Federal, State and Local income taxes are calculated at
statutory rates.  In the previous year, provisions were offset by reductions
in previously established valuation reserves related to the utilization of
net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards and other timing
differences.

3. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have
resulted if stock options had been converted into common stock. The
following reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:

                                            Three Months Ended 
                                             7/4/98       7/5/97
Net income (loss)                        $   (23,754)  $  128,521
Weighted average common shares used 
 to calculate basic earnings per share     2,598,375    2,664,109
Effect of dilutive options                    61,312       87,116

4. The Company repurchased 26,000 of its common shares at a cost of $67,787
during the first quarter of the fiscal year.  These transactions follow a
1997 announcement that its Board of Directors had approved a plan to
repurchase up to 200,000 Common Shares in market and other transactions from
time to time on a discretionary and indefinite basis. A total of 62,000
shares were repurchased in the previous fiscal year.

5. Effective this current year, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income."  This Statement establishes standards for reporting
and displaying comprehensive income and its components.  Comprehensive
income is defined as net income and all other non-owner changes in equity.
Components of comprehensive income, as it applies to the Company, would
include the write-up or write-down of securities held for sale to market
value. The effect of such adjustments to comprehensive income for the first 
quarters ended in 1998 and 1997 is not material and does not affect the
Company's reported results of operations or financial position.

6. The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
This Statement, which is effective beginning with annual financial
statements issued for periods beginning after December 15, 1997 requires
financial and descriptive information about an entity's operating segments
to be included in the financial statements.  This standard, when
implemented, is not expected to materially impact the reported financial
position or results of operations.

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

Results of Operations
Net sales were  $3,342,000 in the quarter ended July 4, 1998 down by 10%
from the $3,718,000,reported a year ago.  The reduction in volume is due
mostly to declines in demonstration and mail sales beginning in the last
quarter.  Because of the reduced sales and production activity, gross      
profits declined by $274,000.

The demonstration and mail sales decline, which continues into the second
quarter, is considered the Company's greatest challenge.  The Company has
addressed this problem through the hiring of sales professionals assigned
directly to demonstration sales and marketing.  The Company is further
examining cost cutting measures and productivity improvements.

Total operating expenses, including start up costs for new marketing
efforts, were reduced by $100,000 from the same period last year.  Interest
income improved by $14,000 on investments available for seasonal and
expansion needs.

Provisions for Federal, State and Local income tax and anticipated
recoveries are based upon statutory tax rates. The previous year's provision
for Federal income tax was eliminated as the expense has been offset by
reductions in valuation reserves related to deferred tax amounts, including
tax carryforwards, pursuant to SFAS 109.

As a result of the above, a net loss of  $24,000 and $.01 per diluted share
was incurred in the first quarter ended July 4, 1998 compared with net
income of  $128,000 and $ .05 per diluted share for the quarter ended
July 5, 1997.

              Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used from first quarter operating activities totaled $1,128,000
compared with $1,367,000 used in operations for the previous year.  The use
of cash resulted from an increase in accounts receivable together with
expanded inventories available for catalog and other new activities.  In
addition, $795,000 was disbursed to reduce accounts payable and accrued
expense balances since the first of the fiscal year. In the first quarter 
of last year, cash was used to reduce accounts payable and other 
current liabilities.

Working capital declined in the first quarter by $117,000 mostly as a result
of capital expenditures of $77,000 (principally tooling and facility
improvements) and common share repurchases totaling $68,000. Since July 5
1997 working capital grew by $1,310,000 or 50%.  The current ratio is
presently at 2.87 compared to 2.39 and 2.46 at April 4, 1998 and
July 5, 1997 respectively.  The debt to equity ratio has improved to .41
mostly because of current debt reductions.  This ratio was .56 at 
April 4, 1998 and .48 on July 5, 1997.






Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
        Not applicable.
