           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Basis of Presentation
   The information included herein reflects all adjustments (none of which
   were other than normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of the
   Company, are necessary to a fair statement of the financial position as
   of November 30, 1998 and February 28, 1998, and the results of
   operations and cash flows for the three months and nine months ended
   November 30, 1998 and 1997.

   Statement of Cash Flow - Acquisition of Business was a purchase price
   of $3,400,000.  115,816 shares of Treasury stock valued at $1,133,313
   was issued as part of payment.

2. Earnings Per Common Share
   The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
   Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), Earnings Per Share, in the fourth quarter
   of fiscal 1998, which requires companies to present basic earnings per
   share and diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share is
   computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
   weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
   Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could
   occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
   exercised or converted into common stock.  The Company has restated its
   November 30, 1997 earnings per share calculation to reflect the
   adoption of SFAS 128.

3. Stock Option Plans
   As of November 30, 1998, the Company has reserved 1,124,212 shares of
   common stock under incentive stock option plans.

4. Inventories
   The Company uses the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method of pricing the
   raw material content of most of its business forms inventories, and the
