ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following is Management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's earnings during the
periods included in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of
income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER COMPARISON 2000 vs. 1999


Net sales were $17,575,000 in the first quarter of 2000 as compared to
$12,978,000 in the first quarter of 1999 an increase of $4,597,000 or 35.4%. Net
sales of sporting goods increased $3,421,000 or 61.1% and net sales of office
and graphic arts products increased $ 1,176,000 or 15.9%.

The increase in sporting goods net sales was about 1/3 due to the Zue
acquisition products (upper end basketball systems) and 2/3 due to some sales
increases this year and prior year sales being adversely impacted by excess
inventory carryover by a major customer which reduced first quarter requirements
mainly in game parlor products. The increase in office and graphic arts machines
and equipment net sales was mainly due to the Mead Hatcher acquisition products
which were not in last year's first quarter.

Cost of sales was $11,578,000 in the first quarter of 2000 as compared
to $8,893,000 in the first quarter of 1999, an increase of $2,685,000 or 30.2%.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 65.9% in the first
quarter of 2000 as compared to 68.5% in the first quarter of 1999. Sporting
goods cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased 10.2% and office and
graphic arts machines and equipment cost of sales as a percentage of net sales
decreased 1.2%. Sporting goods cost of sales decrease was mainly due to the
increased volume resulting in higher factory expense absorption. Office and
graphic arts machines and equipment cost of sales decrease was mainly in factory
expense.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $3,858,000 in the
first quarter of 2000 as compared to $3,103,000 in the first quarter of 1999, an
increase of $755,000 or 24.3%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales was 21.9% in the first quarter of 2000 as compared to 23.9% in the first
quarter of 1999. This decrease as a percentage of net sales was mainly due to
the higher sales volume.

Interest expense increased $90,000 to $234,000 in 2000 from $144,000
in 1999, an increase of 62.5% due to higher average borrowing levels and higher
interest rates.

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2000 was 42.4%
as compared to 43.7% in 1999.
10
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities was
$11,090,000 in the first quarter of 2000 as compared to $16,353,000 in the first
quarter of 1999. Most of the cash provided by operating activities was from
collection of the year end accounts receivable during the first quarter. The net
accounts receivable balance at the end of the year was $24,773,000 and at the
end of the first quarter the net accounts receivable balance was $13,609,000.
The Company's net cash used for investing activities was $1,269,000 in the first
quarter of 2000 as compared to $235,000 in the first quarter of 1999. $1,100,000
of this increase was due to the purchase of Lifetime table tennis assets. The
Company's net cash used by financing activities was $11,570,000 in the first
quarter of 2000 as compared to $15,769,000 in the first quarter of 1999. The
cash used by financing activities was for the pay down of bank debt. At the end
of the year, the bank debt was $22,270,000 and at the end of the first quarter
the bank debt bank was $10,700.000.

The Company's working capital requirements are currently funded by
cash flow from operations and a domestic line of credit in the amount of
$12,000,000 which includes letters of credit. The outstanding loans under the
domestic line of credit bear interest at either of the following rates, as
selected by the Company from time to time; the bank's prime lending rate or the
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus 1.00%. There was $1,000,000 borrowed under
this domestic line of credit at the end of the first quarter.

On March 31,2000 the Company completed its Dutch Auction with the
purchase of 758,312 shares of its Common stock from its stockholders at a price
of $18.00 per share. This transaction was financed by additional term debt from
Bank One in the amount of $13.5 million. This increased the Company's long term
bank debt with Bank One to $20.5 million payable over a 5-year period in annual
installments of $4.1 million on March 31.
