RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
Sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002 were $2,497,000, a decrease
of 15.4% from the same quarter in the prior year. Sales for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 were $6,228,000, a decrease of 32.4% over the same
period in the prior year. Lighting sales increased $275,000 for the third
quarter and decreased $806,000 for the year to date period, as compared to the
same periods in the prior year. A decrease in an order from one large customer
accounted for the year to date sales decrease in the lighting product line. The
camera product line accounts for a decrease in sales of $650,000 for the third
quarter and $2,302,000 for the year to date period, as compared to the same
periods in the prior year. The decrease in camera product line sales is
attributable to a decrease in sales as compared to last year under the
$6,200,000 camera contract. Shipments under this contract began in December of
1999 and were completed in August 2001. Sales of the third product line,
printers, decreased by $59,000 for the third quarter and decreased $101,000 for
the year to date period, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The
sales trend for the printer line continues to decline because the optical
photographic printer market continues to experience consolidation and excess
capacity. The Lindahl shades product line sales decreased $36,000 for the third
quarter and $122,000 for the year to date period , as compared to the same
periods in the prior year. In general, all areas of the professional photography
market have experienced a decline in volume in 2002 as compared to 2001. The
Bookendz product line sales increased $15,000 for the third quarter and $353,000
for the year to date period, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.
The year to date increase reflects the sales of new Bookendz docks for the Apple
ibook computer which began shipping in January 2002 and the Apple ipod which
began shipping in June 2002.

Because of the completion of the camera contract discussed above and the
decrease in sales backlog, it is expected that the downward trend in sales for
the first nine months of 2002 compared to 2001 will continue into the last three
months of 2002. In 2003, the Company expects certain of its customers to begin
switching from film cameras to digital cameras. Although the Company currently
sells both film and digital cameras, its current digital products are being
redesigned and updated to incorporate newer technology and components. The
Company believes it will be able to take advantage of the switch from film to
digital cameras. However, the Company is unable to predict the timing and
related quantity of this switch to digital cameras or the impact it will have on
sales and profits. The Company continues to explore new growth and product
opportunities while at the same time controlling and reducing its costs.

The gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2002 decreased to 23.0% from
30.3% in the third quarter of 2001. The gross profit margin for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 decreased to 23.4% from 32.4% in the prior year period.
Because of the low sales volume in 2002 there was an under absorption of
manufacturing overhead of $522,000 compared to an under absorption of $180,000
in 2001. Also, the inventory was reviewed for obsolescence in the third quarter
and a provision of $158,000 was recorded. The effect on the gross profit margin
from the under absorption and the provision for obsolescence was 8.3% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Marketing and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales to
13.6% for the third quarter of 2002 from 13.5% for the third quarter of 2001 and
increased to 17.4% for the first nine months of 2002 from 14.5% for the same
period in 2001. Marketing and administrative expenses decreased $60,000 for the
third quarter of 2002 as compared to the third quarter of 2001 and decreased
$257,000 for the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001.
Research, development and engineering expense decreased by $36,000 for the third
quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001 and decreased by $163,000
for the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001. The
expense reductions reflect decreased staff in all departments. On September 25,
2002 the Company sold its 5,000 square foot building and related land in
Hinckley Minnesota at a gain of $90,055.


LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
-----------------------------

Cash increased by $91,000 to $3,117,000 since December 31, 2001. Operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 resulted in $242,000 of cash flow. The
purchase contract debt was reduced by $236,000 and land and building were sold
for cash of $95,555.

At September 30, 2002 there is no borrowing under the line of credit. The
Company can borrow up to $1,000,000 under its line of credit. The line is
unsecured, at the prime rate of interest and renewed annually.

The Company believes that its cash flow from future operations and available
borrowing capacity will be sufficient to finance operations and capital
requirements.
