NOTE E - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
In 1997, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings per Share. Statement 128
replaced the previously reported 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 is very similar to the
previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share
amounts for all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to
conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
INTERIM FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased by 7% to $8.3
million compared to $7.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The
consumer, industrial and contract packaging segments experienced sales
increases. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased by 18% to
$412,000 from $350,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Basic earnings per
share were $0.13, up 23% from $0.11 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Diluted
earnings per share were $0.13 for the current quarter compared with $0.11 in the
first quarter last year. The increase in net income resulted from higher sales
volume during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to the first quarter
of fiscal 1997.
The Company's medical sales decreased by 10% to $3.5 million in the
first quarter this year from $3.9 million in the same quarter last year due
mainly to lower sales of static replacement mattresses. Management expects that
sales of medical products will be slightly higher in fiscal 1998 than in fiscal
1997.
Sales of consumer products during the first quarter rose by 17% to $1.9
million from $1.6 million in the same period last year. The increase was due to
a promotion of convoluted foam mattress pads and pillows. Management expects
that consumer foam sales will increase during the next two quarters of fiscal
1998 primarily due to higher sales of TerryFoam products.
Industrial foam product sales increased by 22% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 to $972,000 from $795,000 in the same quarter last fiscal year. The
increase was primarily the result of higher sales to existing customers.
Industrial foam sales in fiscal 1998 are expected to be higher than in fiscal
1997.
Contract packaging sales increased 30% to $1.9 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 due to new contracts received during the last half of
fiscal 1997. Management expects that contract packaging sales will be slightly
higher in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997.
The Company's gross profit increased by 5% to $2.3million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 from $2.2 million in the first quarter last year.
However, the gross profit margin percentage decreased to 27.6% from 28.1%. The
decrease in gross margin percent was due to the higher sales volume of lower
margin products and higher labor costs during the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Management expects that the Company's gross margin percentage for fiscal 1998
will be slightly higher than that of fiscal 1997.
Sales and marketing expenses remained level at $1.1 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to the same quarter last year. Total sales
and marketing expenses for fiscal 1998
8
are expected to be higher than those of fiscal 1997.
General and administrative expenses increased by $41,000 (7%) in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The
increase was due mainly to a one-time reduction in expenses in the first quarter
of last year related to termination of the Company's ESOP. General and
administrative expenses for the full 1998 fiscal year are expected to be higher
than those of fiscal 1997.
Non-operating income increased by $35,000 (42%) to $117,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to the same quarter last year due to
higher interest income. Management expects non-operating income in fiscal 1998
to be similar to that of fiscal 1997.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company paid dividends of
$82,000, or 20% of net income. This payment represented one quarterly dividend
of $.025 per share.
The statements contained in "Results of Operations" which are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Management wishes to caution the reader that these
forward-looking statements such as the Company's expectations for future sales
increases as compared to previous periods are forecasts. Actual events or
results may differ materially as a result of risks facing the Company. Such
risks include but are not limited to: the loss of a major distributor of the
Company's medical or consumer products, the inability to achieve anticipated
sales volume of medical products, changes in relationships with large customers,
the impact of competitive products and pricing, government reimbursement changes
in the medical market, F.D.A. regulation of medical device manufacturing, raw
material cost increases, and other risks referenced in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company generated cash from operations of approximately $608,000
during the first quarter of fiscal 1998. In addition, working capital expanded
by $151,000 or 2%, during the three months ended December 27, 1998. The increase
in working capital was caused primarily by higher securities available for sale
and lower accounts payable. The Company's current ratio decreased to 3.2 at
December 27, 1998 from 3.3 at fiscal year end 1997.
Accounts receivable, net of allowances, declined 7% to $4.6 million at
the end of the first quarter of 1998 as compared to $4.9 million at the end of
fiscal 1997. All of the Company's accounts receivable are unsecured.
Inventories increased by $672,000, or 21%, during the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 to $3.7 million. The increase occurred mainly in raw materials for
the contract packaging segment and is to support new contracts with new
customers. Management expects a slight decrease in inventory levels during the
remainder of fiscal 1998.
9
Net property and equipment decreased by $84,000, or 1%, during the
first three months of fiscal 1998. The change resulted primarily from normal
depreciation expense and capital expenditures. Management expects that capital
expenditures during fiscal 1998 will be higher than those of fiscal 1997.
Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, decreased by $37,000. The
change was due to normal amortization expense.
The Company's trade accounts payable increased by $251,000 or 10% as
compared to fiscal year end 1997 reflecting normal monthly fluctuations. Accrued
and sundry liabilities decreased by $75,000 or 4%.
In November 1997, the Company repurchased 23,000 of its common stock
for approximately $162,000 ($7.06 per share) in a private transaction from an
unaffiliated seller. The repurchased shares were retired.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Inflation was not a significant factor for the Company during the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. Higher inflation rates could impact the Company through
higher raw material costs. The Company's profit margin could be adversely
affected to the extent that the Company is unable to pass along to its customers
any increased costs.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is from time to time party to various legal actions arising in the
normal course of business. However, management believes that as a result of
legal defenses and insurance arrangements with parties believed to be
financially capable, there are no proceedings threatened or pending against the
Company that, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on
the business or financial position of the Company.
