NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS August 2, 1997 Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with footnotes contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1997. (b) Earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each period. Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of certain stock options under the treasury stock method. Fully diluted earnings per share have not been separately presented since they would not be materially different. In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which supercedes APB Opinion 15. The Statement's objective is to simplify and harmonize the computation of earnings per share and to make the U.S. standard for computing earnings per share more compatible with the EPS standards of other countries and with that of the International Accounting Standards Committee. As required by SFAS No. 128, the Company will adopt this statement for the fiscal year ending January 31, 1998. Pro-Forma basic and diluted earnings per share had the Company adopted SFAS No. 128 for the second quarter of fiscal year 1997 would have been $.12. Pro-Forma basic and diluted earnings per share had the Company adopted SFAS No. 128 for the six month period of fiscal year 1997 would have been $.20 and $.21, respectively. Pro-Forma basic and diluted earnings per share had the Company adopted SFAS No. 128 for the second quarter of fiscal year 1998 would have been $.03. Pro-Forma basic and diluted earnings per share had the Company adopted SFAS No. 128 for the six month period of fiscal year 1998 would have been $.15. Note 2 - INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations: - ---------------------- Second quarter net sales of $10,677,000 were lower than the prior year's second quarter by 5%. The decrease was primarily due to the Company's international channel which had a 20% decline from last year's second quarter net sales. The strong US dollar adversely affected international net sales dollars although unit volumes in France, England and Asia were also down from last year. Domestically, net sales rose 2% over last year's second quarter. A sales profile by product group indicates Bar Code/Label Printer Products and Grass Products reported single digit growth rates and Core Products reported a 13% decline from last year's second quarter. For the six-month period, the Company's net sales are $22,383,000 reflecting a 3% increase over the prior year's net sales for the same period. The sales results by channel are mixed with domestic volumes being up 9% over the prior year while international sales are behind last year by 13%. Gross Profit Margins reached 38% in the second quarter as compared to 39% in last year's second quarter. The lower gross margin percentage is due to an unabsorbed factory overhead stemming from the lower sales volume. The six-month period has a similar profile with gross profit margins of 38% compared with last year's gross profit margins of 39%. Operating Expenses of $3,948,000 rose 6% from last year's second quarter level and were 3% higher than this year's first quarter. The increase in spending was due to additions in field sales personnel and Research & Development expenditures. General & Administrative spending was 10% lower than last year's second quarter and 11% lower than the first quarter. After six months, Operating Expenses are $7,797,000, a 1% increment over the prior year level. Selling and R & D expenses were up 5% and 17%, respectively, and G & A spending was 20% lower than last year. Second quarter other income, net of $126,000 which is net of currency exchange loss of $92,000 was lower than last year's second quarter by $38,000. Other income, net was $293,000 as compared to last year's $698,000 for the first two quarters. The difference results from last year's gain of $416,000 realized on the sale of a partnership interest from the Company's investment portfolio. Financial Condition: - -------------------- On the Balance Sheet, Assets rose 1% from the previous year. Cash and Marketable Securities increased 18% to $14,151,000 while the Company's working capital dollars remained flat at $28,247,000. Capital Expenditures were $398,000 during the second quarter with the primary investment being a capital lease associated with the purchase of application software for the Company's Information Technology architecture. The Company continued its -8- stock repurchase plan by purchasing 41,000 shares during the second quarter. The Company's Shareholders' Equity balance rose slightly from a year ago to $36,328,000 while the Company's book value per common share rose 3% to $7.50 at the end of the second quarter. Cash Flow decreased $325,000 during the second quarter as an outgrowth of the lower earnings and the disbursements made for Treasury Stock, $411,000 and Dividends, $196,000. For the six-month period of the current fiscal year, the Company's cash flow has increased $272,000. -9- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) Exhibits: None.
