profit for the first nine months of 2001 increased 60% to $7,836,000, compared
to $4,899,000 for the first nine months of 2000. The increase in gross profit
for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2001 is primarily due to the
increase in the POPS program sales which have higher margins. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales was 56.2% for the third quarter of 2001, compared to
59.1% for the third quarter of 2000, and was 56.9% for the first nine months of

months of 2001, compared to the first nine months of 2000. Sales expenses
decreased 4% for the third quarter of 2001, compared to the third quarter of
2000. Marketing expenses increased 57% for the third quarter of 2001, compared
to the third quarter of 2000. This increase was due primarily to additional sign
promotional expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2001. General and
administrative expenses increased 8% for the third quarter of 2001, compared to
the third quarter of 2000. This increase was due primarily to increased legal
fees, investor relations fees and rent. POPS expenses increased 62% for the
third quarter of 2001, compared to the third quarter of 2000 and reflects the
continuing commitment to the POPS program.

Sales expenses decreased 5% for the first nine months of 2001, compared to the
first nine months of 2000. Marketing expenses increased 65% for the first nine
months of 2001, compared to the first nine months of 2000 and is due primarily
to additional sign promotional expenses during the first nine months of 2001.
General and administrative expenses increased 14% for the first nine months of
2001, compared to the first nine months of 2000. This increase was due primarily
to increased legal fees, investors relations fees and rent. POPS expenses
increased 71% for the first nine months of 2001, compared to the first nine
months of 2000. This increase in POPS operating expenses for the first nine
months of 2001 reflects the continuing commitment to the POPS program.

2001 and 59% for the first nine months of 2001, compared to 69% in the third
quarter of 2000 and 65% for the first nine months of 2000.

for the third quarter of 2001, compared to a net loss of $(295,000), or $(.03)
per share for the third quarter of 2000. For the first nine months of 2001, the
net loss was $(291,000), or $(0.03) per share, compared to a net loss of
$(798,000), or $(.08) per share for the first nine months of 2000. The increase
in the net loss for the third quarter of 2001 compared to the third quarter of
2000 resulted primarily from increased POPS program expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2001, working capital was $2,440,000, compared to $2,362,000 at
December 31, 2000. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased
$721,000 from $1,106,000 at December 31, 2000 to $1,827,000 on September 30,
2001. The change in the Company's cash position is due to proceeds received from
the issuance of common stock of $391,000, plus an


                                   Page 7 of 9



increase in accounts payable of $502,000 and a decrease in inventories of
$279,000, offset by the the net loss of $291,000 and an increase in accounts
receivable of $242,000.

due to the expected growth in the business. However, the company believes that
it will have sufficient capital resources to fund its current business
operations and anticipated growth for the foreseeable future.
