--------------------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES. The Company's net sales for the third quarter ended September 30,

for the third quarter of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net
sales were $16,914,000, an increase of 23%, compared to net sales of $13,770,000
for the first nine months of 2001. POPS program sales increased 39% from
$9,534,000 in the first nine months of 2001 to $13,218,000 for the first nine
months of 2002. Thermal sign card sales decreased 12% from $2,139,000 during the
first nine months of 2001 to $1,875,000 in the first nine months of 2002.

GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit for the third quarter of 2002 increased
32% to $2,960,000, compared to $2,247,000 for the third quarter of 2001. Gross
profit for the first nine months of 2002 increased 30% to $10,187,000, compared
to $7,836,000 for the first nine months of 2001. The increase in gross profit
for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2002 is primarily due to the
increase in the POPS program sales which have higher margins. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales was $58.3% for the third quarter of 2002, compared to
56.2% for the third quarter of 2001, and was 60.2% for the first nine months of
2002, compared to 56.9% for the first nine months of 2001.

increased 26% for the third quarter of 2002, compared to the third quarter of
2001 and reflects the continuing commitment to the POPS program. Sales expenses

2001. Marketing expenses increased 48% for the third quarter of 2002, compared

promotional expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2002. General and
administrative expenses increased 13% for the third quarter of 2002, compared to
the third quarter of 2001. This increase was due primarily to increased legal
fees, investor relations fees and rent.

This increase in POPS operating expenses for the first nine months of 2002
reflects the continuing commitment to the POPS program. Sales expenses increased
4% for the first nine months of 2002, compared to the first nine months of 2001.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

As previously disclosed, the Company was sued in August 2000 in U.S. District
Court in New York, New York by News America Marketing In-Store, Inc. The
complaint alleges that News America has exclusive promotional agreements with
certain grocery store retailers, and that the promotional agreements prevented
those retailers from contracting for the Company's POPS program. The complaint
also accuses the Company of unfair competition, false advertising and
interfering with business relationships. The Company has denied any wrongful or
improper action and has brought counterclaims alleging that News America has
engaged in anti-competitive practices and is attempting to stifle competition,
and that News America's use of exclusive dealing clauses and other
anti-competitive behavior violate the anti-trust laws.

The District Court has established a deadline for completion of discovery of
January 10, 2003, except for discovery involving experts, which is to be
completed by March 1, 2003. All papers regarding motions to the Court that would
terminate the case are to be filed with the Court by April 25, 2003. These dates
