Options and warrants to purchase 930,000 and 597,000 shares of common stock were
outstanding at June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, but were excluded in the
computation of diluted income per common share because the options and warrants'
exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.

</TABLE>


Total sales grew 3.2% in the second quarter of 2000 and were essentially
unchanged in the first six months of 2000 as compared with the same 1999
periods. This was the net result of higher sales of trade exhibits (up 27.1% in
the second quarter and 26.2% in the first half) offset by lower sales of
permanent and scenic displays (down 25.2% in the second quarter and 31.7% in the
first half). Higher trade show exhibit sales were principally attributable to
sales to new clients secured near the end of 1999, resulting from the Company's
continuing focus on client expansion. The decrease in permanent and scenic
displays sales was largely the result of lower sales for store fixtures and for
Sparks scenic displays. The store fixtures decrease was primarily due to lower
sales to large national retail customers experiencing slower new store growth.
The decrease for scenic displays was due to large projects in the first half of
1999 which were not replaced with similar size projects in the first half of
2000, resulting from a general slowdown in the industry.

Operating Profit
----------------

Operating profit increased to $0.8 million, or 3.2% of sales, in the second
quarter 2000 from $0.6 million, or 2.7% of sales, in the same 1999 period, and
was essentially unchanged in the first half of 2000 as compared with the first
half of 1999. This was the net result of higher gross profit margins offset by
higher selling, administrative and general expenses. The gross profit margin, as
a percentage of sales improved to 22.4% and 24.1% from 19.8% and 20.7% in the
second quarter and first six month periods of 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
second quarter gross profit margin improvement was principally attributable to
higher margins generated by the scenic displays business. During the second
quarter of 1999, the Company incurred poor execution in estimating and
manufacturing certain significant projects, which reduced gross profit margins.
Management changes were made at this operation and gross margins improved
significantly in the second quarter of 2000. The improvement for the first six
month period was largely the result of this improvement in the scenic displays
business as well as to higher gross profit margins generated by trade show
exhibits sales during the first quarter.


                                       7
<PAGE>


Selling expenses, as a percentage of sales increased to 10.7% and 11.2% from
9.8% and 9.2% in the second quarter and first six months of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. These increases were largely the result of higher trade show
exhibit sales, which are subject to higher sales commissions and variable
selling expense.

Administrative and general expenses increased $0.4 million in the second quarter
and $0.7 million in the first half of 2000 versus 1999 due to several factors,
including higher depreciation expense related to investments in computer systems
and to improvements in the Company's office facilities at several locations. The
Company also relocated and consolidated its DMS Store Fixtures business during
the first half of 2000 and incurred higher recruiting expenses.

Other Income (Expense)
----------------------

Interest expense increased to $0.4 million and $0.6 million from $0.3 million
and $0.5 million in the second quarter and first half of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. This increase was due in large part to higher borrowings and
interest rates on the Company's revolving credit facility to finance working
capital requirements resulting from slower billing and collections of accounts
receivable.

Income Taxes
------------

The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of pre-tax income, increased to
48% in the second quarter and first six months of 2000 from 40% in the
comparable 1999 periods. The 1999 rate reflects a benefit from the utilization
of business tax credits. The difference between statutory income tax rates and
these effective tax rates is principally attributable to non-deductible goodwill
amortization.

Net Income
----------

Net income of $0.2 million ($.03 per fully diluted share) for the second quarter
2000 was essentially unchanged from the same prior year period. For the first
half of 2000, net income decreased to $0.8 million from $1.1 million due in
large part to higher interest expense and provision for income taxes.

Backlog
-------

The Company's backlog of orders increased to approximately $24 million at June
30, 2000 from $22 million at June 30, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital increased $9.7 million during the first half of
2000 to $21.8 million at June 30, 2000 from $12.1 million at December 31, 1999.
This increase was principally attributable to an $8.6 million increase in
accounts receivable and to a $2.8 million reduction in the current portion of
long-term debt, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in accounts payable
and accrued expenses. The accounts receivable increase was due to a higher
balance for the Company's DMS Store Fixtures business (up $4.2 million) largely
related to major new clients and to a slower billing and collection process
experienced by the Company's trade show exhibits operations. Billing and
collection delays were attributable to several factors, including continuing
difficulties associated with the deployment of a new computer system described
below. Management believes that these difficulties will continue for the
remainder of 2000. The decrease in the current portion of long-term debt was the
result of the debt agreement restructuring described below.

On January 21, 2000, the Company restructured its bank debt with an amended
revolving credit facility, providing for borrowing capacity up to $30 million.
This new facility, which matures on January 21, 2005, was used to refinance a
term loan and can be used to finance capital expenditures, permitted
acquisitions and other working capital requirements as needed. The new facility
is collateralized by all of the Company's assets and bears interest at rates
based on the LIBOR, adjusted for applicable spreads ranging from 1.25% to 2.5%.
The Company is subject to an annual commitment fee of 1/4% on the average unused
portion of the revolving credit facility. This new facility includes certain
financial covenants requiring a minimum net worth and maintenance of certain
financial ratios, and restricts the Company's ability to pay dividends. Loan
origination fees totaling $532,000 comprised of $432,000 of cash payments and
issuance of 37,210 shares of the Company's common stock are included under other
assets and will be amortized over five years. There were borrowings of $19.6
million under this facility at June 30, 2000.

OUTLOOK

The Company expects continued sales growth from trade show exhibits and
relatively flat sales from permanent and lower sales of scenic displays for the
last six months of 2000. Management believes that the trade show exhibit client
base of Fortune 1000 companies will continue to tightly manage their marketing
budgets, which may impact the Company's trade show exhibit profit margins. The
Company has upgraded several facilities and continues to pursue operating
efficiency improvements to mitigate the impact of margin pressure from its
client base.

The Company converted its management information system at the beginning of 1999
and incurred inefficiencies as a result of the transition, which have continued
into 2000. Although management is taking decisive action to address this
situation, inefficiencies are expected to continue into the second half of 2000.
Further investments are planned to upgrade the Company's management information
systems.

Management plans ongoing investment in human resources, particularly for new
sales executives and support staff to create long-term growth opportunities, and
believes that these investments combined with the new debt capacity, will
provide future opportunities for continued growth and business expansion.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements. In connection with the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
there are certain important factors that could cause the Company's actual
results to differ materially from those included in such forward-looking
statements. Some of the important factors which could cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected include, but are not limited to: the
Company's ability to continue to identify and complete strategic acquisitions to
enter new markets and expand existing business; continued availability of
financing to provide additional sources of funding for working capital
requirements, future acquisitions, capital expenditure requirements and foreign
investments; the effects of competition on products and pricing, growth and
acceptance of new product lines through the company's sales and marketing
programs; changes in material prices from suppliers; ability to attract and
retain competent employees; ability to add and retain customers; changes in
sales mix; ability to integrate and upgrade technology; uncertainties regarding
accidents or litigation which may arise in the ordinary course of business; and
the effects of, and changes in the economy, monetary and fiscal policies, laws
and regulations, inflation and monetary fluctuations as well as fluctuations in
interest rates, both on a national and international basis.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's revolving credit facility bears a floating rate of interest, based
on LIBOR rates, plus an applicable spread. The Company had borrowings of $19.6
million from its $30 million revolving credit facility at June 30, 2000.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates do not significantly affect the
Company's financial position and results of operations.
