  The accompanying financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

Note 2

When dilutive, stock options are included as equivalents using the Treasury Stock method when computing the diluted earnings per share.

Note 4

  The compensation cost based on the fair values of options at grant dates consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, would be $54,280 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $.03 per share of common stock.

Item 2:   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003 were $1,851,000, a decrease of 25.8% or $645,000 from the third quarter in 2002. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $5,023,000, a decrease of 19.3% or $1,204,000 from the same period in the prior year. The photographic products sales decreased $475,000 in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter in 2002 which consisted of a camera product line sales decrease of $208,000, a printer product line sales increase of $51,000, a flash equipment product line sales decrease of $291,000, and a Lindahl shades product line sales decrease of $27,000. Photographic product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $4,187,000, a decrease of 18.3% or $939,000 over the same period in the prior year which consisted of a camera product line sales decrease of $674,000, a printer product line sales decrease of $3,000, a flash equipment product line sales decrease of $175,000 and a Lindahl shade product line sales decrease of $87,000. The decrease in the photographic product line sales reflects a general overall weakness in demand due to the economic downturn and in particular a contracting market in the photographic industry. In addition, many customers are not buying new film cameras in anticipation of switching to digital cameras in the near future. The Bookendz dock product line sales decreased $170,000 in the third quarter of 2003 as compared to 2002. Bookendz dock product line sales decreased $265,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 over the same period in the prior year. Apple introduced three new powerbooks, a twelve inch, a fifteen inch and a seventeen inch model in 2003, however the Company did not ship the twelve inch dock until June and is in the process of evaluating docks for the fifteen and seventeen inch models.

The gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2003 increased to 27.4% from 23.0% in the third quarter of 2002. The gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 decreased to 20.5% from 23.4% in the prior year period. The changes in gross margin is attributable to changes in the product mix and increasing costs on the Bookendz product line.

Marketing and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales to 15.5% for the third quarter of 2003 from 13.6% for the third quarter of 2002 and increased to 21.2% for the first nine months of 2003 from 17.4% for the same period in 2002. Marketing and administrative expenses decreased $53,000 for the third quarter of 2003 as compared to the third quarter of 2002 and decreased $17,000 for the first nine months of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. Research, development and engineering expense increased by $30,000 for the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002 and increased by $110,000 for the first nine months of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. The overall decrease in marketing and administrative expense reflects increased sales promotion activity for trade shows, advertising, and a direct user sales promotion offset by

cost decreases in general and administrative expenses. The increase in research, development and engineering expense reflects the cost to develop two new digital cameras.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

Cash increased by $379,000 to $3,899,000 since December 31, 2002. This cash increase for the nine months was due to $591,000 of positive cash flow from operations, offset by $22,000 of capital equipment expenditures and payment of $184,000 on the Bookendz purchase contract. At September 30, 2003 there was no borrowing under the line of credit.

The Company believes that its cash flow from future operations and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to finance operations and capital requirements for 2003 and 2004.

Item 4:   Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2003 an evaluation was performed by the Company’s President and Treasurer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the President and Treasurer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
