1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited and have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the
opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a
normal and recurring nature), which are necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods. Operating results for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year or for future periods. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2004.

2. ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS:

On March 15, 2005, Sparks Exhibits & Environments Corp., a subsidiary of the
Company, acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed specified
liabilities of Showtime Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiary, Showtime
Enterprises West, Inc. (collectively "Showtime"). Showtime designed, marketed
and produced trade show exhibits, point of purchase displays, museums and
premium incentive plans. Showtime had sales of approximately $21 million in
2004. The aggregate purchase price was $6.3 million, comprised of $2.8 million
paid in cash, $1.7 million for contingent royalty and percentage of sales
payments, $1 million of long-term debt assumption and $0.8 million for stock
warrants. The Company financed this acquisition by increasing its revolving
credit facility borrowing capacity and obtaining a new term loan. The Company's
Audit Committee engaged the Company's registered public accounting firm to
perform the required audit of Showtime's financial statements. It was
subsequently determined that such audit could not be performed. The inability to
file these audited financial statements may limit the Company's ability to
engage in certain types of transactions requiring Securities and Exchange
Commission review, including without limitation, public offerings and certain
private offerings of securities and business combination transactions requiring
shareholder approval.

6. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or
Disposal Activities" ("FASB Statement FAS 146"). FAS 146 addresses significant
issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated
with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are
currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") has set forth in EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Effective in the first
quarter of 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 146. This new
accounting principle had an impact on the timing and recognition of costs
associated with the Company's relocation and consolidation of its West Coast
operations, and is expected to have an impact on the timing and recognition of
costs associated with the Showtime acquisition and subsequent integration.

In December 2004, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment ("FAS123(R)" or the "Statement"). FAS 123(R) requires that the
compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants
of employee stock options, be recognized in financial statements. That cost will
be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments
issued. FAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements
including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share
appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The effect of the
Statement will require entities to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for stock options based on the grant-date fair value of the
award, and to recognize the cost over the period the employee is required to
provide services for the award. FAS 123(R) permits entities to use any
option-pricing model that meets the fair value objective in the Statement. The
Company will be required to apply FAS 123(R) starting January 1, 2006. FAS
123(R) allows two methods for determining the effects of the transition: the
modified prospective transition method and the modified retrospective method of
transition. Under the modified prospective transition method, an entity would
use the fair value based accounting method for all employee awards granted,
modified, or settled after the effective date. As of the effective date,
compensation cost related to the non-vested portion of awards outstanding as of
that date would be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as
calculated under the original provisions of Statement No. 123; that is, an
entity would not re-measure the grant-date fair value estimate of the unvested
portion of awards granted prior to the effective date of FAS 123(R). An entity
will have the further option to either apply the Statement to only the quarters
in the period of adoption and subsequent periods, or apply the Statement to all
quarters in the fiscal year of adoption. Under the modified retrospective method
of transition, an entity would revise its previously issued financial statements
to recognize employee compensation cost for prior periods presented in
accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123. Although it has
not yet completed its study of the transition methods, the Company believes it
will elect the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, the
Company estimates that the adoption of FAS 123(R) would require the Company to
record approximately $15,000 of stock compensation expense in 2005 related to
employee options issued and outstanding at December 31, 2004. Based on expected
vesting of stock options outstanding at March 31, 2005, the Company may record
compensation expense of approximately $270,000 in each of 2006 through 2010. Any
further impact of this Statement on the Company in fiscal 2005 and beyond will
depend upon various factors including future compensation strategy. The pro
forma compensation costs are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model and may not be indicative of amounts which should be expected in future
years.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for grants of stock options under its stock option plans
based on the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and
related Interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on net

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared with three months ended
March 31, 2004

Sales

Three Months Ended
(in thousands)
March 31, 2005 March 31, 2004
---------------- ----------------
Trade show exhibits group $ 13,412 $ 13,208
Permanent and scenic displays group 5,423 5,341
---------------- ----------------
Total sales $ 18,835 $ 18,549
================ ================

Total net sales of $18.8 million for the first quarter of 2005 increased 1.5%
from total net sales of $18.5 million for the first quarter of 2004. Sales of
trade show exhibits and related services increased 1.5% in the first quarter of
2005 from the same prior year period as sales to new customers offset budget
reductions experienced for existing customers. Sales of permanent and scenic
displays also increased 1.5% in the first quarter of 2005 from the comparable
2004 period as lower sales of permanent museum displays were offset by higher
sales of store fixtures and point of purchase displays.

Gross Profit

Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 23.4% for the first
quarter of 2005 from 25.5% for the first quarter of 2004. This decrease was
attributable to several factors, including additional facility costs incurred
for the acquired Showtime business with no related trade show exhibit sales and
lower gross profit margins earned on certain first quarter 2005 projects. Higher
facility costs are expected to continue in 2005 and in the foreseeable future,
which should be absorbed by higher volume anticipated from the Showtime
business. The Company will relocate the Showtime Paulsboro, NJ facility to its
Philadelphia, PA facility in the second quarter of 2005. Costs incurred for this
relocation and consolidation are expected to reduce the Company's second quarter
gross profit by approximately $300,000.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses of $2.1 million, or 11.4% of net sales, for the first quarter
of 2005 decreased from $2.2 million, or 11.9% of net sales, for the
corresponding period of 2004. This decrease was largely the result of cost
reduction initiatives, partially offset by approximately $200,000 for initial
Showtime payroll costs with no corresponding trade show exhibit sales.


10


Administrative and General Expenses

Administrative and general expenses decreased to $1.2 million in the first
quarter of 2005 from $1.5 million in the same prior year period. This decrease
was principally attributable to a bad debt recovery of $575,000 from a
bankruptcy settlement. Specifically, the Company received 4,266 shares of Sears
Holding Corp (previously K-Mart) stock from its bankruptcy claim for accounts
receivable and inventories, which were fully reserved for in 2001. The total
number of shares from the bankruptcy claim is 5,019, with approximately 15%
being subject to a holdback for the potential settlement of any excess
bankruptcy claims. The Company will recognize an additional bad debt recovery
based on the market price of Sears Holding Corp stock if and when the remaining
753 shares are received. The Company also recorded a reserve provision of
$175,000 for a customer dispute in the first quarter 2005, which partially
offset the bad debt recovery.

Other Income (Expense)

In the first quarter of 2005, the Company recognized income of $34,000 from a
former affiliate company.

Interest expense increased to $135,000 in the first quarter of 2005 from $92,000
in the first quarter of 2004 primarily as a result of higher interest rates
under the Company's new borrowing base facility discussed below and additional
indebtedness incurred in connection with the Showtime business acquisition.

Operating Profit

Operating profit increased to $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2005 from $1
million for the same period of 2004 largely as a net result of the bad debt
recovery reported under general and administrative expenses partially offset by
lower gross profit margins.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company is currently using operating loss carry forwards to offset its
taxable income. As a result, the Company did not record an income tax provision
in the first quarters of 2005 or 2004. The Company currently has a full
valuation allowance against its operating loss carry forwards. This allowance is
reviewed by management for possible recovery on a periodic basis.

Net Income

Net income of $1 million for the first quarter 2005 increased from $0.9 million
for the comparable 2004 period largely as a result of the bad debt recovery,
partially offset by the lower gross profit margins.

Backlog

The Company's backlog of orders was approximately $33 million at March 31, 2005
and $21 million at March 31, 2004. The increase in the backlog is due in large
part to new permanent museum display projects, a substantial portion of which
extends through 2006.


11


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On February 6, 2004, the Company replaced its revolving credit and security
agreement with a new credit facility provided by a commercial asset-based
lender. The new credit facility originally expired on February 6, 2007 and
provided for maximum borrowing capacity of up to $12 million based on a
percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. This facility bore
interest based on the 30-day dealer placed commercial paper rate plus a
formula-determined spread of 4.5% in 2004, restricts the Company's ability to
pay dividends, and includes certain financial covenants (fixed charge coverage
ratio and maximum capital expenditure amount). Based on the Company's
performance in 2004, the formula-determined spread was reduced to 3.5% effective
March 22, 2005, resulting in a total effective rate of 6.2% at such date.

On March 21, 2005, the Company amended its credit facility to increase the
maximum borrowing capacity from $12 million to $15 million, to increase the
maximum borrowings on certain inventories and to extend the term by one year to
February 6, 2008. The Company also obtained a one-year term loan for $1 million,
bearing interest at the commercial paper rate plus 3.75% and requiring monthly
principal payments of $25,000 starting on April 1, 2005, with the remaining
balance of $700,000 due on March 21, 2006. The Company had borrowings of
approximately $10 million and additional borrowing capacity of approximately
$4.9 million at March 31, 2005. This credit facility amendment and term loan
were obtained to finance the Showtime acquisition.

The Company's working capital increased $3.7 million in the first quarter of
2005 to $8.2 million at March 31, 2005 from $4.5 million at December 31, 2004,
largely due to a $4 million increase in accounts receivable. The increase in
accounts receivable was largely due to higher sales in the first quarter of 2005
as compared with the fourth quarter of 2004 ($18.8 million versus $16 million)
and accounts receivable acquired in connection with the Showtime acquisition.

The Company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $1 million for
2005.

The Company has lease commitments for certain facilities under non-cancelable
operating leases. Timing of future lease commitments as well as maturities of
long-term debt are as follows:

The Company jointly leases a 31,000 square foot facility with International Expo
Services ("IES"), in which the Company holds a minority interest. The annual
lease commitment for this facility is $214,000 through September 22, 2007, which
is not included with the above future operating lease commitments since IES
occupies this entire facility and pays the rent.

The Company leases a facility from a partnership controlled by two shareholders
of the Company. This lease, which expires on May 14, 2019, contains an option
for the Company to terminate after May 14, 2009 subject to the landlord's
ability to re-rent the premises. The minimum annual rent is $771,000 through May
14, 2009 and is reset thereafter (not included in the table above). The Company
is also responsible for taxes, insurance and other operating expenses for this
facility.

OUTLOOK

The Company expects sales of trade show exhibits and related services to
increase in 2005 due to the Showtime acquisition.

Planned profit improvements for the Company's base businesses in 2005 are
expected to be offset by relocation and transition costs anticipated to
integrate the Showtime business with the Company's existing businesses.
Subsequent to this relocation and transition, the Company expects profit
improvements in 2006.

The Company wrote off accounts receivable and inventories in 2001 as a result of
K-Mart, a DMS Store Fixtures customer, filing for bankruptcy. The subsequent
settlement from its bankruptcy claim is for 5,019 shares of Sears Holding Corp
(previously K-Mart) common stock. The company received 4,266 shares of the stock
and recognized a bad debt recovery of $575,000 in the first quarter of 2005.
Based on the current market price of Sears Holding Corp common stock, the
Company has a contingent additional bad debt recovery of approximately $109,000
for the remaining 753 shares from this bankruptcy settlement.

The Company acquired a past-due accounts receivable from mPhase Technologies,
Inc. ("mPhase") in connection with the 2003 acquisition of Exhibit Crafts, Inc.
In March 2005, the Company settled the claim with this customer for
approximately 213,000 shares of mPhase restricted common stock. Based on the
current market value of this common stock, the Company has a contingent gain of
approximately $50,000. Any gain will be recognized when the restrictions on the

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or
Disposal Activities" ("FASB Statement FAS 146"). FAS 146 addresses significant
issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated
with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are
currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") has set forth in EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Effective in the first
quarter of 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 146. This new
accounting principle had an impact on the timing and recognition of costs
associated with the Company's relocation and consolidation of its West Coast
operations, and is expected to have an impact on the timing and recognition of
costs associated with the Showtime acquisition and subsequent integration.


13


In December 2004, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment ("FAS123(R)" or the "Statement"). FAS 123(R) requires that the
compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants
of employee stock options, be recognized in financial statements. That cost will
be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments
issued. FAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements
including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share
appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The effect of the
Statement will require entities to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for stock options based on the grant-date fair value of the
award, and to recognize the cost over the period the employee is required to
provide services for the award. FAS 123(R) permits entities to use any
option-pricing model that meets the fair value objective in the Statement. The
Company will be required to apply FAS 123(R) starting January 1, 2006. FAS
123(R) allows two methods for determining the effects of the transition: the
modified prospective transition method and the modified retrospective method of
transition. Under the modified prospective transition method, an entity would
use the fair value based accounting method for all employee awards granted,
modified, or settled after the effective date. As of the effective date,
compensation cost related to the non-vested portion of awards outstanding as of
that date would be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as
calculated under the original provisions of Statement No. 123; that is, an
entity would not re-measure the grant-date fair value estimate of the unvested
portion of awards granted prior to the effective date of FAS 123(R). An entity
will have the further option to either apply the Statement to only the quarters
in the period of adoption and subsequent periods, or apply the Statement to all
quarters in the fiscal year of adoption. Under the modified retrospective method
of transition, an entity would revise its previously issued financial statements
to recognize employee compensation cost for prior periods presented in
accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123. Although it has
not yet completed its study of the transition methods, the Company believes it
will elect the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, the
Company estimates that the adoption of FAS 123(R) would require the Company to
record approximately $15,000 of stock compensation expense in 2005 related to
employee options issued and outstanding at December 31, 2004. Based on expected
vesting of stock options outstanding at March 31, 2005, the Company may record
compensation expense of approximately $270,000 in each of 2006 through 2010. Any
further impact of this Statement on the Company in fiscal 2005 and beyond will
depend upon various factors including future compensation strategy. The pro
forma compensation costs are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model and may not be indicative of amounts which should be expected in future
years.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's revolving credit facility bears a floating rate of interest, based
on the 30-day dealer placed commercial paper rate plus 3.50%. The Company had
borrowings of approximately $10 million from its revolving credit facility at
March 31, 2005.

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

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company established a Disclosure Committee chaired by the
Company's Chief Financial Officer and comprised of managers
representing the Company's major areas, including financial
reporting and control, sales, operations and information technology.
This Committee carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, and
established ongoing procedures to monitor and evaluate these
controls and procedures in the future. Based upon that evaluation,
within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to
the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be
included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.

(b) Changes in internal controls

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls
or in other factors that would significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

The Company's Audit Committee engaged the Company's registered public accounting
firm to perform the required audit of Showtime's financial statements as
previously reported on Form 8-K. It was subsequently determined that such audit
could not be performed. The inability to file these audited financial statements
may limit the Company's ability to engage in certain types of transactions
requiring Securities and Exchange Commission review, including without
limitation, public offerings and certain private offerings of securities and
business combination transactions requiring shareholder approval.

12, 2005 in a manner substantially consistent with the disclosures in the
