          Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
                           (INTERIM & UNAUDITED)

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
information gives effect to the sale of 2,000,000 newly-issued shares of
common stock by the Company to Riverside Group, Inc.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 1,
1996 was generated based on interim internal financial reports that may not
be in full compliance with generally accepted accounting principles or the
Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"S.E.C.").  This statement is presented here solely at the request of the
Nasdaq Stock Market, and should not be relied upon by investors for any
purpose without careful review of the Company's periodic reports filed with
the S.E.C., including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 30, 1995, the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the period ended March 30, 1996, and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the period ended June 29, 1996 (which will be filed in the near
future).  The statement assumes the sale of stock occurred on January 1,
1995.

The impact of the pro forma adjustments to the Company's pro forma results
of operations for the five months ended June 1, 1996 would be an increase
to net income of $224,000 as the result of $365,000 in interest savings,
due to the reduced borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit,
less an incremental income tax expense of $141,000.  This assumes the sale
of stock occurred on January 1, 1995.

The impact of the pro forma adjustments to the Company's pro forma results
of operations for the year ended December 30, 1995 would be an increase to
net income of $468,000 as the result of $781,000 in interest savings, due
to the reduced borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit,
less an incremental income tax expense of $313,000.  This assumes the sale
of stock occurred on January 1, 1995.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated information contained herein
should not be considered projections of future operating results or
financial position.
