NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
April 30, 1997
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three month period ended April 30,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending January 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the audited
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1997. Prior
period financial statements have been restated to reflect the June 28, 1996
merger with Satastar Corporate Services, Inc., which was accounted for as a
pooling of interests (See Note B).
NOTE B - MERGER WITH SATASTAR CORPORATE SERVICES, INC.
Satastar Corporate Services, Inc. (dba PVS Corporate Services), a videotape
duplicator located in Chicago, Illinois, was merged with the Company on June 28,
1996 by the issuance of 165,357 shares of common stock, $.10 par value, in
exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Satastar Corporate
Services, Inc. The business combination has been accounted for as a pooling of
interest, and, accordingly, the financial statements have been restated to
include the combined results of operations from the date Satastar commenced
operations.
Included in the results of operations for the period ended April 30, 1996 are
the following results of the previously separate companies for the period of
February 1, 1996 to April 30, 1996:
Three Months Ended April 30, 1996
---------------------------------
Company Satastar Combined
------- -------- --------
Net Sales $18,482,500 $833,300 $19,315,800
Net Income (Loss) 671,600 (35,500) 636,100
NOTE C - EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February, 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used
to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new
requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options will be excluded. The impact is expected to result in no change
in primary earnings per share for the first quarter ended April 30, 1997 and an
increase of $.02 per share in primary earnings per share for the first quarter
ended April 30, 1996. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of fully
diluted earnings per share for these quarters is not expected to be material.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Net sales decreased 5% in the first quarter from $19,316,000 in 1996 to
$18,266,000 in 1997. The decrease in sales was primarily attributable to the
Products Division, where sales declined by $980,000 from the previous year's
first quarter. Gross margins as a percentage of sales increased from 32% in the
first quarter of 1996 to 34% in the first quarter of 1997. Operating expenses
in the first quarter of 1997 declined by approximately $112,000, or 2%, from the
first quarter of 1996. Interest expense also declined slightly in the first
quarter of 1997 due to lower levels of borrowings. The Company's effective tax
rate in the first quarter of 1997 was approximately the same as the prior year's
first quarter. The improvement in gross margins, and the decrease in expenses
offset the decrease in sales and resulted in a 13% increase in net income, from
$636,000 in the first quarter of 1996 to $720,000 in the first quarter of 1997.
The contribution each division made to these results is outlined below.
COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION
The Communications Division's net sales of $13,970,000 in the first quarter of
1997 were approximately the same as the previous year's first quarter. The
Company has twelve duplication facilities throughout the United States, and the
sales performance from these facilities has been mixed. Six of the facilities
have had significant (34%) sales growth from the previous year, while the
remaining facilities are either even with or behind last year's sales. The
Company continues its efforts to improve the underperforming facilities and
maintain the growth in the other facilities.
Gross margins as a percentage of sales increased from 32% in the first quarter
of last year to 34% for the current year's first quarter. The improvement in
gross margins reflects the Company's continued efforts of cost containment and
improvements in operating efficiencies.
Selling and administration expenses increased 3% in the first quarter of 1997
compared to the prior year's first quarter. The Company has instituted an
expense control program to ensure that operating expenses do not grow faster
than sales in the future.
The increase in operating expense was more than offset by the improvement in
gross margins and resulted in a 46% increase in pretax income, from $578,000 in
1996 to $844,000 in the first quarter of 1997.
PRODUCTS DIVISION
The Products Division's net sales decreased 19% in the first quarter of 1997,
from $5,273,000 to $4,293,000. The decrease can be attributed in part to the
seasonal nature of the business and the need to ship a great majority of its
products in a short period of time. Last year, the Company was shipping from
two facilities -- Minneapolis and Seattle. With the merger of the two
operations in Seattle, it has proven to be more difficult to ship the same
volume from the single facility compared to the volume which was shipped from
two facilities last year. The Company has orders that are approximately
equal to last year and expects to be able to at least partially make up the
sales short-fall in the next several months.
The gross margin percentage decreased from 32% in the first quarter of 1996 to
30% in 1997. The decrease can be attributed primarily to the decrease in sales.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased by 21% in the first quarter, from
$1,091,000 in 1996 to $862,000 in 1997, and reflects the Company's efforts at
cost control and the merger of the operations into one facility. The reduction
in operating expenses helped to partially offset the decrease in sales and gross
margins. However, pretax income in the first quarter of 1997 was $390,000, a
28% decrease from the prior year's first quarter pretax income of $543,000.
- 6 -
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The Company used approximately $682,000 of cash in operating activities in the
first quarter of 1997 compared to $1,051,000 used in the same period in 1996.
The increase in net income for the period and improvement in working capital
accounts accounted for the improvements. Accounts receivable balances increased
$3,170,000 from year end as a result of the sales growth in the Products
Division which grants its customers extended credit terms.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity continue to be operating income,
long-term debt secured by specific equipment, and its revolving credit facility.
At April 31, 1997, approximately $6,400,000 of this facility was available, and
the Company believes that the liquidity provided by the sources described above
will be adequate to meet its normal operating requirements over the near term.
The Company continues to investigate potential acquisitions, and depending on
the size and structure of the transaction, additional funding may be required.
As of May 31, 1997, no definitive agreements have been reached regarding any
such acquisitions.
