NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
For the Six Months Periods Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The
results of operations for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the related disclosures contained in the
Company's Form 10-KSB dated April 13, 1998, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income. Statement 130 establishes new rules for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components;
however, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's
net loss or shareholders' equity for 1998 or 1997.
2. STOCK OPTION PLAN:
The Company has a stock option plan that provides for the grant of
incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options for up to
450,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The option price
must be at least 100% of market value at the date of the grant.
The following table summarizes activity of the stock option plan for
the six-month period ended June 30, 1998:

6. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:
In 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. This
statement replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted
earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike
primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any
dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
Diluted earnings per share are very similar to the previously reported
fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for
all periods have been presented, and where appropriate, restated to
conform to the Statement 128 requirements. The following table sets
forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements, within the
meaning of the "safe-harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, the attainment of which involve various risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe",
"estimate", "anticipate", "continue", or similar terms, variations of those
terms or the negative of those terms. The Company's actual results may differ
materially from those described in these forward-looking statements due to,
among other factors, competition in each of the Company's product areas,
dependence on suppliers, the Company's limited manufacturing experience and the
evolving nature of the Company's fiber optic technology.
Results of Operations
Revenues are derived primarily from the sale of fiber optic side glow(R) and end
glow(TM) cable and light sources, point of purchase fiber optic signs and
displays and sales of fiber optic landscape and task lighting systems. Total
revenues for the three months ("1998 quarter") and six months ended June 30,
1998 ("1998 six months") were approximately $2,596,000 and $4,914,000,
respectively, as compared to approximately $2,542,000 and $4,746,00 for the
three months ("1997 quarter") and six months ended June 30, 1997 ("1997 six
months"). This represented increases of 2% and 4%, respectively. The increase in
revenues is primarily attributable to domestic sales of the Company's
architectural lighting products. The Company's improved lighting systems have
been well received in the architectural lighting community, and the Company has
expanded marketing and sales efforts in this area. Modest revenue growth was
also seen in the Company's pool and spa division, although sales of the
Company's pool and spa products were below forecast. Sales in the pool and spa
industry have been weakened by continued wet weather conditions in the Western
United States. Management believes the delay in the building season in the
Western United States may result in an extended construction season in this
region in the remainder of 1998. The Company further noted that export sales
were well below historical levels. Exports to the Pacific Rim were 80% below
forecast for the 1998 six months. Management believes this is due to Asian
regional economic difficulties and the strength of the U.S. dollar which has
made the Company's products more expensive relative to other conventional
lighting products. The Company is concentrating international marketing efforts
in the European and South American regions at this time. Revenues during the
1997 six months included approximately $830,000 of revenue recognized under a
long-term contract completed in May 1997 for what the Company believes to be the
world's largest custom fiber optic display. Management believes the overall
market available to fiber optic lighting products continues to increase as the
commercial, sign and pool and spa industries become aware of the benefits and
applications of fiber optics in these market segments.
Cost of sales were approximately $1,659,000, or 64% of revenues, during the 1998
quarter and $3,029,000, or 62% of revenues, for the 1998 six months as compared
to approximately $1,524,000, or 60% of revenues, for the 1997 quarter and
$2,845,000, or 60% or revenues, for the 1997 six months. The gross margin was
36% and 38%, respectively, for the 1998 quarter and 1998 six months as compared
to 40% for the both 1997 quarter and 1997 six months. Gross margins for the 1998
quarter and six months were adversely affected by a sales mix that favored light
sources as opposed to lighting systems and fiber products. Management
anticipates that the sales mix will normalize over the course of the full year.
Management further noted that the lower than anticipated sales volume increased
fixed overhead costs per unit produced. The increase in overall fixed overhead
costs resulted from the Company's relocation in August 1997 from its previous
facilities totaling 27,000 square feet to its new facility of 70,000 square
feet. Fixed overhead costs include rent, utilities, insurance and other costs of
facility maintenance and operation. Management believes that the increased costs
associated with the new facility are necessary for the Company to effectively
compete in the long term in the market and to service the potential increased
sales volumes which Management believes may result from continued marketing and
sales efforts.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $932,000 and
$1,717,000 during the 1998 quarter and 1998 six months, respectively, as
compared to approximately $634,000 and $1,300,000 for the 1997 quarter and 1997
six months, respectively. This represented increases of 47% and 32%,
respectively. During the 1998 quarter, the Company attended eight major trade
shows compared to three in the 1997 quarter. Advertising expenditures for trade
publication placements were significantly increased to support these trade
events.
9
<PAGE> 12
Literature expenses and educational training seminars were also increased as the
Company received greatly increased inquiries for product catalogs and requests
for applications training, which Management believes is a result of the trade
advertising and show attendance. Management believes this increased exposure may
result in future revenue growth for the Company. The Company has developed
several new products specifically for its target markets and expenses were
incurred during the 1998 six months to introduce these products. Additionally,
the Company had increased personnel levels during late 1997 in the areas of
Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service in order to more effectively penetrate
and service the selected markets for the Company's products. While Management
believes these marketing and sales expenses are critical to potential future
revenue growth, Management is implementing more cost effective methods of
developing and delivering these materials and training services including
utilization of electronic catalogs and internet based systems.
Research and development costs were approximately $74,000 and $152,000,
respectively, during the 1998 quarter and 1998 six months as compared to
approximately $83,000 and $132,000, respectively, during the 1997 quarter and
1997 six months. This represented a decrease of 11% for the 1998 quarter and an
increase of 15% for the 1998 six months. During the 1998 quarter, the Company
undertook several joint product development efforts with key vendors and
technology partners to attempt to reduce fixed research and development costs.
Management believes that these relationships may allow the Company to accelerate
product development while reducing development costs and cycle times. During the
1998 six months, the Company increased personnel levels in the area of research
and development in order to further shorten development time of several new
light sources and to accelerate a cost reduction and re-engineering program in
several core product categories to reduce manufacturing costs of these product
lines. Further increases in costs were incurred in the development of products
designed to unique customer specifications under rapid development cycles, which
the Company is now marketing to specific niche target markets. Management
believes the increased expenditures for engineering and research and development
are necessary to ensure that the Company continues to expand its product
offerings to the market and to maintain a leadership position in fiber optic
lighting technology.
Interest income is derived from the short-term investments of liquid cash
balances in low risk commercial paper and money market funds. Net interest
income for the 1998 quarter and 1998 six months was approximately $25,000 and
$57,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $37,000 and $76,000,
respectively, for the 1997 quarter and 1997 six months. The decrease is
attributable to lower average cash balances available for investment during the
1998 six months. The Company utilized cash during the 1998 six months to expand
inventory in advance of the traditional summer building season in the pool and
spa and architectural lighting markets.
Interest expense increased from approximately $0 for the 1997 quarter and 1997
six months to approximately $110,000 and $219,000 for the 1998 quarter and 1998
six months. The increase is attributable to the accounting treatment for the
lease on the Company's new facility as a capital lease under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting for Leases.
Provision for income taxes included a tax benefit of approximately $56,000 and
$53,000, respectively, for the 1998 quarter and 1998 six months compared to
income tax expense of $110,000 and $168,000, respectively, for the 1997 quarter
and 1997 six months. The tax benefit as a percentage of the loss before taxes
was 36% for the 1998 quarter and the 1998 six months. The provision for income
taxes as a percentage of pre-tax income was 35% and 31%, respectively, for the
1997 quarter and 1997 six months.
The net loss for the 1998 quarter and 1998 six months was approximately
$(99,000) and $(95,000), respectively, or $(.04) per diluted common share, as
compared to net income of approximately $228,000, or $.10 per diluted common
share, in the 1997 quarter and $377,000, or $.17 per diluted common share for
the 1997 six months. The decrease is primarily due to sales volume that was
below projected levels in the areas of pool and spas and export markets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of approximately $5,379,000.
Cash and investments decreased by approximately $1,019,000 during the 1998 six
months. Inventory increased by approximately $372,000 during the 1998 six
months. Inventory was expanded in order to ensure availability of finished
goods, primarily in the pool and spa and architectural product lines in advance
of the summer construction season. Other assets increased by approximately
$140,000. The increase was primarily due to payment of deposits on booth space
at trade shows. Deposits on orders decreased by approximately $79,000. In the
past, the Company had required deposits on orders prior to order acceptance. As
the Company's customer

mix has evolved, the Company has modified its credit terms to industry standards
for qualified customers. Accounts payable decreased by approximately $308,000 as
extended credit term purchases from major vendors became due. Net equipment and
furniture decreased by approximately $68,000. Acquisitions of fixed assets and
computer equipment were exceeded by depreciation on existing assets. Management
believes capital expenditures for fixed plant will remain at these levels, with
the exception of tooling investments that Company plans to make in core product
lines to increase the unit profitability of these products.
Escrowed Shares
In January 1994, the Company and certain stockholders of the Company entered
into an agreement providing for the escrow of 2,918,000 shares held by such
individuals (the "Escrow Shares"). In the event any of the shares were released
from escrow to officers, directors and other employees of the Company,
compensation expense would be recorded for financial reporting purposes as
required by GAAP. As of March 31, 1997, Brett Kingstone, the President and
Chairman, voluntarily retired 2,891,870 shares of Class B Common Stock
previously held in the escrow account. These shares were returned to the Company
treasury. The Company currently has 26,130 shares of Class B Common Stock held
in escrow. In the event the Company attains certain earnings thresholds, or the
Company's Class A Common Stock meets certain minimum bid prices required for the
release of the remaining 26,130 Escrow Shares, the Company may, in the event of
the release of such shares from escrow, recognize during the period in which the
earnings threshold are met or are probable of being met or such minimum bid
prices attained, charges to earnings as compensation expense which would have
the effect of reducing the Company's earnings at such time.
