                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Results of Operations
- ---------------------

COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 1, 1996 WITH THE QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER
3, 1995

     Revenues in the three months ended October 1, 1996 were $26.9 million, an
increase of 26.5% from $21.2 million in the three months ended October 3, 1995.

     The Company sells its ribbons primarily to printer original equipment
manufacturers, which in turn sell the ribbons under their own brand names to
end-users, either directly or through distributors and value-added resellers.
Revenues from OEM customers in the three months ended October 1, 1996 were

$20.1 million, comprised 75.0% of total revenues, and increased 21.6% from $16.6
million in the three months ended October 3, 1995.  This increase primarily
reflects the transfer of ribbon production for a significant color ribbon
program from Fujicopian to the Company, new product introduced by the Company to
existing tag and label customers in North America and increased sales of
existing products outside of North America.

     The Company also sells its ribbons directly to distributors and dealers
where such sales do not adversely affect the Company's OEM customers.  Revenues
from domestic distributors in the three months ended October 1, 1996 were $6.3
million, comprised 23.4% of total revenues, and increased 38.9% from

$4.5 million in the three months ended October 3, 1995.  In September 1995, the
Company acquired the thermal transfer supplies business from one of its OEM
customers, QMS Inc., and began selling ribbons and other thermal transfer
supplies under the QMS brand name directly to distributors, dealers and end-
users.  The higher selling prices for ribbons and other items included in the
QMS supplies business, the addition of several new significant tag and label
customers, and end-user migration towards this distributor channel from the OEM
channel as the market for tag and label ribbons matures contributed to this
growth.

     Revenues from international distributors in the three months ended October
1, 1996 were $427,000, comprised 1.6% of total revenues and increased 202.8%
from $141,000 in the three months ended October 3, 1995.  The rapid expansion of
the market for tag and label printing in South America, and the Company's
marketing programs targeting these opportunities, were principally responsible
for the addition of several new customers and the corresponding sales increase.

     Gross margin was 29.2% of revenues in the three months ended October 1,
1996, as compared to 29.3% in the three months ended October 3, 1995.  The
increased leverage of fixed overhead costs and production efficiencies from the
higher sales volume, higher margins on the QMS thermal transfer supplies
business and the benefit from the stronger U.S. dollar for product purchased
from Japan offset the incremental operating expenses from the new manufacturing
facility opened during the three months ended July 2, 1996.

     Operating expenses were $3.2 million in the three months ended October 1,
1996, an increase of $466,000 from $2.8 million in the three months ended
October 3, 1995.  Personnel additions in sales and marketing, including the
creation of a telemarketing capability for QMS thermal transfer supplies, and
increased advertising to maximize revenue from new products and identify
opportunities for future products were primarily responsible for the increase.

     Other expense was $205,000 in the three months ended October 1, 1996, an
increase of $206,000 from $1,000 of other income in the three months ended
October 3, 1995.  This increase reflects the expensing of current interest
charges on the Company's lines of credit in the three months ended October 1,
1996.  Interest charges incurred on the Company's lines of credit in the three
months ended October 3, 1995 were capitalized as part of the cost of
construction of the new manufacturing facility.

                                       7

 
     Weighted average common shares outstanding were 9.0 million shares in the
three months ended October 1, 1996, a decrease of 349,000 shares from 9.3
million shares in the three months ended October 3, 1995. This decrease
primarily resulted from the repurchase of 315,400 shares on the open market
during February and March 1996.


COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 1996 WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
OCTOBER 3, 1995

     Revenues in the six months ended October 1, 1996 were $51.9 million, an
increase of 28.9% from $40.2 million in the six months ended October 3, 1995.

     Revenues from OEM customers in the six months ended October 1, 1996 were
$38.0 million, comprised 73.3% of total revenues, and increased 20.7% from $31.5
million in the six months ended October 3, 1995.  This increase primarily
reflects the transfer of ribbon production for a significant color ribbon
program from Fujicopian to the Company, new products introduced by the Company
to existing tag and label customers in North America and increased sales of
existing products outside of North America.

     Revenues from domestic distributors in the six months ended October 1, 1996
were $12.6 million, comprised 24.3% of total revenues and increased 50.2% from
$8.4 million in the six months ended October 3, 1995.  The higher selling prices
for ribbons and other items included in the QMS supplies business, the addition
of several new significant tag and label customers, and end-user migration
towards this distributor channel from the OEM channel as the market for tag and
label ribbons matures contributed to this growth.

     Revenues from international distributors in the six months ended October 1,
1996 were $1.2 million, comprised 2.4% of total revenues, and increased 275.8%
from $330,000 in the six months ended October 3, 1995.  The rapid expansion of
the market for tag and label printing in South America, and the Company's
marketing programs targeting these opportunities, were principally responsible
for the addition of several new customers and the corresponding sales increase.

     Gross margin was 29.6% in the six months ended October 1, 1996 as compared
to 28.9% in the six months ended October 3, 1995.  The increased leverage of
fixed overhead costs and production efficiencies from the higher sales volume,
higher margins on the QMS thermal transfer supplies business and the benefit
from the stronger U.S. Dollar for product purchased from Japan more than offset
the incremental operating expenses from the new manufacturing facility opened
during the three months ended July 2, 1996.

     Operating expenses were $6.3 million in the six months ended October 1,
1996, an increase of $1.0 million from $5.3 million in the six months ended
October 3, 1995.  Personnel additions in sales and marketing, including the
creation of the telemarketing capability for QMS thermal transfer supplies, and
increased advertising to maximize revenue from new products and identify
opportunities for future products were primarily responsible for the increase.
Personnel additions in research and development to create new products for
future revenue growth also contributed to the increase.

     Other expense was $335,000 in the six months ended October 1, 1996, an
increase of $294,000 from $41,000 in the six months ended October 3, 1995  This
increase reflects the expensing of current interest charges on the Company's
lines of credit subsequent to the completion of construction of the Company's
new manufacturing facility in April 1996.  Interest charges incurred on the
Company's lines of credit in the six months ended October 3, 1995 were
capitalized as part of the cost of the facility.

     Weighted average common shares outstanding were 8.9 million shares in the
six months ended October 1, 1996, a decrease of 393,000 shares from 9.3 million
shares in the six months ended October 3, 1995.  This decrease primarily
resulted from the repurchase of 315,400 shares on the open market during
February and March 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company's financial condition remained strong, with long-term debt
comprising only 1.8% of total capitalization at October 1, 1996.  During the six
months ended October 1, 1996, $14.5 million of cash provided by operating
activities was used to fund $9.7 million of capital expenditures primarily
related to the construction and purchase of equipment for the Company's new
100,000 square foot manufacturing facility.  The Company also repaid $4.0
million of debt during the six-month period, consisting of $3.0 million repaid
on its lines of credit and $1.0 million of scheduled repayments on its long-term
facilities.  Raw material inventories decreased $3.9 million in the six months
ended October 1, 1996, primarily due to a reduction in polyester film.

     The Company expects to spend approximately $4.5 million on capital
expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 1997.  The Company had available
borrowing capacity on lines of credit with two banks of $16.7 million at October
1, 1996.  The Company anticipates funding its capital expenditure program and
its working capital requirements, in addition to repaying approximately $8.0
million of the $13.3 million balance on its lines of credit, with cash generated
by operating activities in fiscal 1997.  The Company believes that internally
generated cash will be more than sufficient to fully repay the lines of credit
and fund working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements in
fiscal 1998.
