NOTE 4.  LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

      In June 2000, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement
(the "Credit Agreement") with a commercial bank.  The Credit Agreement
expires in 2002 and provides a revolving credit facility up to $10 million
based on a formula that includes eligible accounts receivable and inventory.
Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime rate or, at the Company's
option, LIBOR plus 2.1% (effective rate of 8.75% at July 1, 2000).  The
Company incurs an unused line fee of 1/8% per annum on the unused portion of
the credit facility.

NOTE 4.  LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS - CONTINUED

      The Credit Agreement includes certain restrictive covenants common for
such agreements and requires maintenance of certain minimum financial ratios.
The Company's accounts receivable and inventory secure the credit facility.

NOTE 5.  DISPOSAL OF OPERATING ASSETS

      During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a charge of
$1,100,000 in connection with the planned closing and disposition of
manufacturing facilities in Greenville, Alabama.  The Company originally
planned to cease operations at this facility by June 30, 2000.  Operations
are now expected to continue through August 31, 2000 with a substantially
reduced work force.  The Company has received a letter of intent for the sale
of the Greenville real property and essentially all equipment with an
expected closing of August 31, 2000.

      Certain expenses of the Greenville facility incurred during the first
six months of 2000 were charged to the estimated disposition liability
recorded in 1999.  At this time, management believes the disposition
liability should be adequate to cover the costs associated with closing
operations in Greenville.  However, actual proceeds from the sale of property
and raw material inventory liquidation may vary from current estimates.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Certain statements, other than statements of historical fact, included
in this Quarterly Report including, without limitation, the statements under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements that
involve significant risks and uncertainties, and accordingly, there is no
assurance that these expectations will be correct. These expectations are
based upon many assumptions that the registrant believes to be reasonable,
but such assumptions ultimately may prove to be materially inaccurate or
incomplete, in whole or in part and, therefore, undue reliance should not be
placed on them.  Several factors which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to: uncertainties and changes in general economic
conditions, unusual weather patterns which could affect domestic demand for
the registrant's products, performance and price issues with international
suppliers, greater than anticipated operating asset disposition costs,
pricing policies of competitors and the ability to attract and retain
employees in key positions.  All subsequent forward-looking statements
attributable to the registrant or persons acting on its behalf are expressly
qualified in their entirety.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

      Total revenues for the three months ended July 1, 2000 were $6,977,000,
down $506,000, or 6.8%, from the comparable quarter in 1999.  Sales in the
work gloves and protective wear segment increased $64,000, or 1.1%.  Sales in
this segment increased slightly due to improved volume in the industrial
market with the consumer market essentially unchanged from the prior year.
Selling prices fell from the comparable period in 1999 because of competitive
pressure and lower purchase costs on imported goods.

      In the pet supplies segment, second quarter sales declined $518,000, or
43.3%, from the prior year due to the loss of a major account at the end of
1999.  In addition, the Company's largest customer in this segment notified
the Company of its intent to obtain pet supplies from another supplier by the
end of 2000.  The loss of these two accounts is expected to significantly
reduce 2000 sales in the pet supplies segment. The Company has recruited a
new sales team with industry experience to aggressively pursue new business.
In addition, the Company is importing certain key products to improve its
cost structure.

      Sales in the corporate and other segment consist primarily of balloon
revenues.  Sales in this segment declined $52,000 on reduced volume.

                                      8

<PAGE> 9

      For the six month period ended June 26, 1999, consolidated sales
totaled $17,633,000, an increase of $1,020,000, or 6.1%, from the comparable
period in 1999.  This sales increase was attributable to the work gloves and
protective wear segment and resulted from volume increases primarily in the
first quarter due to new customers added in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Increased sales in the work gloves and protective wear segment were partially
offset by reduced sales in the pet supplies segment which declined because of
the loss of certain key customers.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

      Cost of sales for the three months ended July 1, 2000 were $4,889,000
compared to $5,360,000 in the corresponding period of 1999.  The drop in cost
of sales reflects the sales decline previously discussed as well as the
reduction in the purchase price of goods.  On a percentage of sales basis,
cost of sales totaled 70.1%, down from 71.7% for the second quarter of 1999.
This improvement resulted from reduced costs in both the work gloves and
protective wear segment and the corporate and other segment.  The cost of
imported products in the work glove and protective wear segment continued to
decline as previously discussed.  In the corporate and other segment, margins
improved because the Company discontinued domestic manufacturing and began
importing balloons from Mexico during 1999.

      On a year to date basis, cost of sales in 2000 totaled $12,002,000, up
$373,000 from 1999.  This increase was due primarily to higher sales in 2000.
As a percentage of sales, cost of sales declined to 68.1%, down 1.9% from
1999.  The lower cost of sales percentage resulted primarily from reduced
costs in the corporate and other segment associated with the importing of
balloons from Mexico.  The Company also experienced slightly improved margins
in its other segments of business because of lower pricing on imported goods.

</TABLE>

      Operating expenses (selling, general and administrative expenses)
totaled $2,772,000 for the three months ended July 1, 2000, compared to
$2,908,000 for the corresponding period in 1999.  The decline in operating
expenses in comparison to 1999 is due primarily to legal expenses incurred
during the prior year in connection with litigation settled during the third
quarter of 1999.  Operating expenses increased in the work glove and
protective wear segment due in part to higher depreciation and operating
expenses on the Company's new computer system and increases in certain
warehousing expenses.

                                      9

<PAGE> 10

      For the six month period ended July 1, 2000 operating expenses were
$6,030,000, up $377,000 from the comparable period in 1999.  Such expenses
increased in the work glove and protective wear segment due in part to
variable expenses associated with increased sales such as commissions and
shipping.  In addition, operating expenses were up in this segment due to
higher depreciation and operating expenses on the new computer system and
increases in certain warehousing expenses.  Operating expenses declined in
the corporate and other segment due to reduced legal expenses in 2000 as
previously discussed.

</TABLE>

      For the second quarter of 2000, the Company's operating loss totaled
$684,000, an improvement of $101,000 in comparison to the second quarter of
1999.  The corporate and other segment produced the greatest improvement from
1999 due to improved margins on the balloon operations in this segment and
reduced legal expenses in the corporate area.  The operating loss in the work
gloves and protective wear segment also declined slightly due to increased
sales and improved margins.  Pet supplies generated an operating loss of
$55,000 for the second quarter of 2000 because of lower sales as discussed
above.  The second quarter is historically the Company's weakest in the work
gloves and protective wear segment due to reduced product demand in warm
weather months.

      The Company generated an operating loss of $399,000 for the six month
period ended July 1, 2000 compared to a loss of $669,000 during the first six
months of 1999.  As previously discussed, improved results in the corporate
and other segment comprised the bulk of this improvement.  Reduced earnings
in the pet supplies segment attributable to reduced sales partially offset
the improvement in results from the corporate and other segment.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

      The Company incurred $70,000 in interest expense during the second
quarter of 2000, a decrease of $80,000 from the comparable period in 1999.
Interest expense declined because of reduced borrowings under the Company's
revolving line of credit during the quarter due in large part to reduced
inventory levels in comparison to the second quarter of 1999.  Interest
income for the quarter ended July 1, 2000 totaled $42,000, an increase of
$17,000 from the previous year due to increased cash on hand which resulted
from litigation settlement proceeds in the second half of 1999.

      On a year to date basis through July 1, 2000, interest expense totaled
$161,000, down  $109,000 from 1999.  Reduced inventory levels in comparison
to 1999 were the primary factor in this decrease.  Interest income for the
six-month period increased from $48,000 in 1999 to $99,000 in 2000 due to
increased cash on hand as discussed above.

                                      10

<PAGE> 11

      The Company entered into a new loan and security agreement with a
commercial bank during the second quarter of 2000.  The new agreement, which
expires in 2002, provides a revolving credit facility of up to $10 million.
Terms of the new loan and security agreement are generally favorable in
comparison to the Company's previous line of credit with interest charged at
prime or, at the Company's option, LIBOR plus 2.1%.  The Company's accounts
receivable and inventory secure the credit facility.

TAXES

      Tax expense reflects state income taxes on certain of the Company's
operations.  Because of losses in prior years, the Company recorded no
federal income tax expense during the periods presented and has available
substantial net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
These carryforwards have certain limitations due to changes in control
experienced in previous years.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Operating activities used $1,510,000 in cash flow through the first six
months of 2000, compared with $580,000 of cash provided by operating
activities during the same period in 1999.  The use of cash during 2000 was
due in large part to increased inventory levels in the second quarter.  The
Company's substantially reduced 1999 year-end inventory levels did not
adequately support first quarter 2000 shipping requirements.  The Company
began building inventory during the second quarter of 2000 to improve
shipping performance and meet expected demand during the third quarter.  In
addition to the change in inventory, the Company's seasonal decline in
accounts receivable was smaller in 2000 than in the previous year due to
higher sales during the first half of 2000.

      Cash used by investing activities totaled $33,000 for the six months
ended July 1, 2000, a decrease of $232,000 from 1999.  Purchases of property
and equipment were nominal in the first half of 2000.  Capital expenditures
in 1999 were primarily associated with the implementation of the Company's
new computer system.

      Financing activities provided cash of $815,000 through the first six
months of 2000 as the Company borrowed funds to support working capital
requirements.

      Under the terms of its $10,000,000 revolving line of credit, the
Company had drawn approximately $1,752,000 as of July 1, 2000.  Based on the
provisions of the credit agreement, the Company had additional availability
of  $5,900,000 under its line of credit as of July 1, 2000.  The Company
expects the availability under the current credit facility and current cash
on hand to provide adequate liquidity for the Company's expected working
capital and operating needs.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS

      The Company has minimal exposure to market risks such as changes in
foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  The value of the
Company's financial instruments is generally not impacted by changes in
interest rates and the Company has no investments in derivatives.
Fluctuations in interest rates are not expected to have a material impact on
the interest expense incurred under the Company's revolving credit facility.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

position or liquidity.
