                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
and recurring adjustments) have been made as of July 3, 1999 and
July 4, 1998 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 3, 1999.

2. The provision for income taxes is as follows:
                                                    July 3,     July 4,
                                                     1999        1998
Loss before income taxes                      $   (384,049)  $  (23,754)
Provision for (recoverable) income taxes:
Current                                       $          -   $  (24,624)
Deferred                                          (196,000)      12,000
Change in valuation allowance                            -            -

Net provision for (recoverable) income taxes   $  (196,000) $   (12,624)

Provisions for recoverable income taxes have been computed at statutory rates.
Resulting deferred tax assets amounting to $1,255,000 at July 3, 1999 and
$1,059,000 at April 3, 1999 reflect the impact of temporary differences
between the amount of assets and liabilities recorded for financial
reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations.
The Company believes that it is more likely than not that these assets are
realizable and represent its best estimate based on the available evidence
as prescribed in SFAS 109.  If the Company is unable to generate sufficient
income in the future through operating results, an increase in the valuation
allowance will be required through a charge to expense.

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:

4. The Company is utilizing SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
This Statement establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components. 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 effects of such adjustments to
comprehensive income for the first quarters ended in 1999 and 1998 are not
material and do not affect the Company's reported results of operations or
financial position.

5.   A revolving credit agreement  has been renewed to expire on
July 31, 2000. The agreement provides for maximum short-term borrowing of
$500,000 with interest charged at one-half of one percent over the Bank's
prime rate.  The agreement requires compliance with certain minimum
net worth, working capital and other miscellaneous covenants.  Substantially
all tangible assets except for land and building are pledged as collateral.

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

Results of Operations

First quarter sales increased to $3,727,000 or 11.5% from $3,342,000
generated a year ago.  This increase in volume, continuing from the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1999, is mostly due to favorable customer responses in
our demonstration sales channel.

Gross margin rates improved by one percentage point over last year.  In
addition, total margins improved to $2,030,000 on the additional volume for
the three months ended July 3, 1999 from $1,850,000 experienced in the first
quarter of last year.  Operating expenses expanded to $2,568,000 in the
current fiscal year from $1,929,000 last year mostly reflecting the
Company's decision to expand selling and promotional efforts aimed at
increasing sales volumes.

Provisions for recoverable Federal income taxes ($196,000 in FY 2000 and
$12,000 in FY 1999) are based on estimated annual effective rates.

Because of the factors above, a net loss of $384,000 or $.15 per diluted
share was experienced in the quarter ended July 3, 1999 compared to a net
loss of $24,000 or $.01 per diluted share for the same period of last year.

Liquidity and Financial Position

Cash used in operations totaled $1,282,000 in the current year compared with
$1,128,000 for the first quarter of the preceding year.  The net loss of
$384,000 together with expansion of current assets (prepaid items $178,000;
inventories $350,000) and liquidation of current liabilities were the main
reasons for the cash usage in the current quarter.  Maturing short-term
investments of $492,000 and $1,236,000 in fiscal 2000 and 1999 respectively,
were utilized to fund operating cash requirements.

The Company's assets include $1,255,000 of deferred income tax assets at
July 3, 1999.  Presently, the Company believes that these assets are
realizable and represent management's best estimate based on the weight of
available evidence as prescribed in SFAS 109.  Management will continue to
evaluate these assets and the need for additional valuation allowances based
on near-term operating results and longer-term projections. If the Company
is unable to generate sufficient operating income in the future, the
valuation allowance will have to be increased by means of a charge against
operating results.

The current ratio was 2.14 to 1 at July 3, 1999 compared to 2.12 to 1 at
the beginning of the current fiscal year.  The debt to equity ratio improved
slightly to 1.27 to 1 from 1.28 to 1 at April 3, 1999.

The Company has now experienced operating losses for five consecutive
quarters. Continuation of operating losses will negatively affect the
Company's liquidity both (a) as a result of negative cash flow caused by
the losses, and (b) by putting the Company in the position of failing to
satisfy the conditions applicable to drawing under the Company's line of
credit.
<PAGE>
Year 2000 Impact
The year 2000 issue is related to computer software utilizing two digits
rather than four to define the year.  As a result, any of the Company's
computer programs or any of the Company's suppliers that have date
sensitive software may cause system failures or generate incorrect data.

The Company has identified information technology applications requiring
modification to ensure year 2000 compliance.  Evaluation and testing of
on-going programs is underway.  Replacement of certain of these systems has
been identified and related software has been acquired.  Non-information
technology systems have been evaluated.  While no formal contingency plan
has been adopted, the Company believes that it will be able to address
Year 2000 issues as they arise without material disruption of its business.

The Company has communicated with its major suppliers and financial
institutions to assess the impact on the Company's operations should they
fail to achieve Year 2000 compliance.  Based on responses to date, many of
these third parties indicate programs in place without specific confirmation
of year 2000 compliance.

Costs incurred to date for year 2000 activities have not been material to
the Company.  Also, the Company believes that, based on current estimates,
the total costs of compliance will not have a material adverse impact on
results of operations or financial condition.

Achievement of year 2000 compliance is subject to a variety of risks beyond
the Company's control, including continued availability of personnel and
preparedness of third parties.  The failure of the Company, its customers,
vendors, taxing and governmental authorities to achieve Year 2000 readiness
could adversely affect the Company's operations and/or financial condition.
Year 2000 failures could adversely affect aspects of the business such as
procurement of materials, scheduling of selling events, processing of sales
orders and functioning of the Company's Internet web pages.

Forward Looking Statements
The foregoing discussion and the Company's consolidated financial statements
contain certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to the following: (a) the adequacy
of operating cash flows together with currently available working capital to
finance the operating needs of the Company, (b) generation of future taxable
income to utilize existing deferred tax assets, (c) successful
implementation of Year 2000 compliance by the Company and its suppliers,
(d) the absence of unanticipated costs and delays in achieving Year 2000
compliance and (e) the Company's ability to effectively address any other
Year 2000 issues

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned jointly and severally promise to pay to

which term shall include any holder hereof) at the Bank's offices located

<PAGE>
This Note is executed and the advances contemplated hereunder are to be made
pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement between the undersigned and the
Bank dated as of September 1, 1989, and all amendments and modifications
thereto, including but not limited to a First Amendment to Loan and Security
Agreement dated July 11, 1990, a Second Amendment to Loan and Security
Agreement dated April 23, 1991, a Third Amendment to Loan and Security
Agreement dated June  21, 1993, a Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security
Agreement dated October 5, 1994, a Fifth Amendment to Loan and Security
Agreement dated as of July 1, 1995, a Sixth Amendment to Loan and Security
Agreement dated as of July 1, 1996, a Seventh Amendment to Loan and Security

Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 31, 1999 (collectively
the "Loan Agreement"), and all the covenants, representations, agreements,
terms, and conditions contained therein, including but not limited to
additional conditions of default, are incorporated herein as if fully
rewritten.

This Note is substitute evidence of the obligations originally evidenced by a
certain Revolving Note dated as of August 28, 1997, in the original
principal sums of $500,000.00.

INTEREST

Interest will accrue on the unpaid balance of the Principal Sum until paid
at a variable rate of interest per annum, which shall change in the manner
set forth below, equal to one half of one percentage point in excess of the
Prime Commercial Rate.

Upon default, whether by acceleration or otherwise, interest will accrue on
the unpaid balance of the Principal Sum and unpaid interest, if any, until
paid at a variable rate of interest per annum, which shall change in the
manner set forth below, equal to four and three-quarter percentage points
(4-3/4%) in excess of the Prime Commercial Rate.

All interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the
actual number of days the Principal Sum or any part thereof remains unpaid.
There shall be no penalty for prepayment, except that any discounted
interest shall only be rebated in the event of prepayment in full, based on
the actual number of days elapsed, but no rebate shall be made for any
amount less than $1.00.

As used herein, "Prime Commercial Rate" shall mean the rate established by
the Bank from time to time based on its consideration of economic,
money market, business and competitive factors.  The Prime Commercial Rate
is not necessarily the Bank's most favored rate.  Subject to any maximum or
minimum interest rate limitation specified herein or by applicable law, any
variable rate of interest on the obligation evidenced hereby shall change
automatically without notice to the undersigned immediately with each change
in the Prime Commercial Rate.
<PAGE>
MANNER OF PAYMENT

The Principal Sum shall be due and payable on July 31, 2000, and at maturity,
whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise.  Accrued interest shall be due
and payable monthly beginning on August 1, 1999, and continuing on the first
day of each month thereafter, and at maturity, whether by acceleration or
otherwise.

LATE CHARGE

Any installment or other payment not made within 10 days of the date such
payment or installment is due shall be subject to a late charge equal to
5% of the amount of the installment or payment, provided, however, that the
Bank provides written notice to the undersigned of such nonpayment.

SECURITY

This Note is secured by the security interests and assignments granted or re-
ferred to in the Loan Agreement.

DEFAULT

Upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(1)	the undersigned fail to make any payment of principal or interest
on or before the date such payment is due; or

(2)	an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall have
occurred;

then the Bank may, at its option, without notice or demand, accelerate
the maturity of the obligations evidenced hereby, which obligations shall
become immediately due and payable and the Bank shall have all other rights
of a secured party or creditor under Ohio law.  In the event the Bank shall
institute any action for the enforcement or collection of the obligations
evidenced hereby, the undersigned agree to pay all costs and expenses of
such action, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent permitted
by law.
<PAGE>

surety, or guarantor, hereby jointly and severally waive presentment, notice
of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and diligence in bringing suit
against any party hereto, waive the defenses of impairment of collateral for
the obligation evidenced hereby, impairment of a person against whom the
Bank has any right of recourse, and any defenses of any accommodation maker
and consent that, without discharging any of them, the time of payment and
any other provision of this promissory note may be extended or modified an
unlimited number of times before or after maturity without notice to the
undersigned.  The undersigned jointly and severally agree that they will pay

action on Bank's part in connection with the acquisition, perfection,
possession, enforcement, disposition, or modification of all the obligations
evidenced hereby or any and all security therefor, and no omission or delay

of any said obligations, or to pursue, exhaust or preserve any of Bank's
rights or remedies with respect to any collateral, security or other
guaranties given to secure said obligations.

The obligations evidenced hereby may from time to time be evidenced by an-
other note or notes given in substitution, renewal or extension hereof.  Any
security interest or mortgage which secures the obligations evidenced hereby
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any such substitution,
renewal, or extension.

The captions used herein are for references only and shall not be deemed a
part of this Note.  If any of the terms or provisions of this Note shall be
