1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited and have
been prepared in accordance with 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 and nine month periods 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, 2003.
2. ACQUISITION AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS:
On August 1, 2003, a Company subsidiary acquired the assets of Exhibit Crafts,
Inc., a Los Angeles, CA area manufacturer of trade show exhibits and a 20%
interest in International Exposition Services, Inc., (IES), a trade show
shipping and installation provider. The initial purchase price was $694,000,
including the assumption of certain liabilities totaling $310,000. In addition,
the sellers received 20% of the subsidiary's common stock. The purchase price
approximated the fair value of the net assets acquired. In addition, the asset
purchase agreement provides for contingent payments of up to $750,000 based on
operating performance in 2004, 2005 and 2006. The Company relocated its San
Diego area manufacturing facility to the acquired Los Angeles, CA area facility
during the third quarter of 2003. Costs recorded in the third quarter of 2003 in
connection with this relocation and consolidation were $1.1 million, which
included relocation and employee termination expenses and the Company recorded a
charge for a portion of the remaining lease obligation related to the vacated
San Diego area facility.
3. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATIONS:
During the first nine months of 2004 and 2003, one customer accounted for 11.3%
and 17.9%, respectively, of the Company's total sales. This customer accounted
for 12% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2004.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Excluded in the computation of diluted income per common share were outstanding
options and warrants to purchase 333,000 shares of common stock at September 30,
2004 and 336,000 shares of common stock at September 30, 2003 because the option
and warrant exercise prices were greater than the market price of the common
shares. Also excluded in the computation of diluted income per common share were
outstanding options and warrants to purchase 1,272,000 shares of common stock at
September 30, 2004 and 1,163,000 shares of common stock at September 30, 2003
because inclusion of such shares would be antidilutive.

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" ("SFAS 146"). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 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 during the second half
of 2003 and in the second quarter of 2004.

Permanent and scenic displays group 21,009 18,982 10.7
------- ------- ----
Total sales $55,901 $49,946 11.9%
======= ======= ====
Total net sales of $16.8 million for the third quarter of 2004 increased 33%
from the third quarter of 2003, and total net sales of $55.9 million for the
first nine months of 2004 increased 11.9% from the same prior year period. The
third quarter increase was principally attributable to higher sales of trade
show exhibits and related services, which grew 55.6% from comparable sales for
the third quarter of 2003. New customers and higher sales to several existing
customers contributed to the third quarter trade show exhibits sales increase.
Sales of permanent and scenic displays increased 16.9% in the third quarter of
2004 from the same 2003 period primarily due to higher sales of store fixtures.
The sales increase for the first nine months of 2004 was comprised of a 12.7%
increase in sales of trade show exhibits and related services and a 10.7%
increase in sales of permanent and scenic displays. These increases were largely
the result of the same factors discussed for the third quarter.
Gross Profit
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, improved to 19.8% in the third quarter
of 2004 from 17.6% in the same 2003 period. This improvement was attributable to
several factors, including cost reduction initiatives and the favorable effect
of higher sales on fixed overhead expenses. The gross profit percentage
decreased to 22.1% for the first nine months of 2004 as compared with 22.5% in
the same prior year period. This decrease was due, in large part, to additional
lease expense of $0.2 million accrued in the second quarter of 2004 in
connection with the Company's consolidation of its West Coast operations
initiated during the second half of 2003. The lease obligation for the remaining
portion of the Company's vacated San Diego area facility was terminated on June
30, 2004. The additional expense recorded in the second quarter of 2004
reflected costs associated with this lease termination.
8
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 11.2% for the third
quarter of 2004 and to 10.8% for the first nine months of 2004 from 14.4% and
12.7% for the respective 2003 periods. These decreases were largely the result
of cost reduction initiatives implemented near the end of 2003, which were
realized during 2004.
Administrative and General Expenses
Administrative and general expenses were reduced $0.1 million in the third
quarter of 2004 and $0.6 million in the first nine months of 2004 from the
expense levels for the comparable periods of 2003. These reductions were
principally attributable to cost reduction initiatives implemented for the
Company's trade show exhibit businesses as well as to costs recognized in the
second quarter of 2003 in connection with a terminated merger transaction.
Restructuring and Other Expenses
The Company relocated its San Diego area manufacturing facility to its Los
Angeles, CA area facility during the third quarter of 2003. Costs recorded in
the third quarter of 2003 in connection with this relocation and consolidation
were $1.1 million, which included relocation and employee termination expenses
and the Company recorded a charge for a portion of the remaining lease
obligation related to the vacated San Diego area facility.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $156,000 in the third quarter of 2004 from $58,000
in the same 2003 period and to $381,000 for the first nine months of 2004 from
$169,000 for the first nine months of 2003. Approximately half of these
increases were due to higher borrowing from the Company's revolving credit
facility largely as a result of financing higher accounts receivable. The
remaining portion of these increases was the result of higher interest rates on
the Company's new credit facility discussed below.
Income from Investments in Affiliate
A gain of $50,000 was recognized in the third quarter of 2004 related to the
sale of the Company's stock in a portable trade show exhibit manufacturer.
Benefit from Income Taxes
In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company established a valuation allowance for
deferred income tax assets related to net operating loss carry forwards. As a
result, the Company did not record a provision for income taxes in 2004. In the
third quarter of 2003, the Company recognized the benefit of an expected income
tax refund for $0.4 million related to a net operating loss carry back.
Net Income (Loss)
The Company incurred a net loss of $0.2 million ($.01 per fully diluted share)
in the third quarter of 2004 as compared with a net loss of $1.9 million ($.15
per fully diluted share) in the same prior year period. Net income of $1.2
million ($.09 per fully diluted share) for the first nine months of 2004
compared favorably to a net loss of $1.2 million ($.09 per fully diluted share)
for the comparable period of 2003. These improvements were due in large part to
higher sales and cost reduction initiatives in 2004 and the $1.1 million
restructuring charge recorded in the third quarter of 2003.
9
Backlog
The Company's backlog of orders was approximately $16 million at September 30,
2004 and September 30, 2003.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On February 6, 2004, the Company replaced its $8 million revolving credit
facility with a new credit facility provided by a commercial asset-based lender.
The new credit facility, which expires on February 6, 2007, provides for
borrowing capacity of up to $12 million based on a percentage of eligible
accounts receivable and inventories. This new facility bears interest based on
the 30-day dealer placed commercial paper rate plus 4.50% (effective rate of
approximately 6% at September 30, 2004), restricts the Company's ability to pay
dividends, and includes certain financial covenants (fixed charge coverage ratio
and maximum cash capital expenditure amount of $1 million in 2004 and $1.25
million in 2005 and in 2006). The Company's borrowing capacity was $9.2 million
at September 30, 2004. Proceeds from this credit facility are used primarily for
working capital and other capital purposes.
The Company's working capital increased to $7.5 million at September 30, 2004
from $3 million at December 31, 2003, largely due to a $4 million increase in
accounts receivable. The increase in accounts receivable was principally
attributable to higher sales near the end of the third quarter of 2004 as
compared with sales near the end of 2003 as well as slower payment schedules
from several of the Company's Fortune 1000 clients. The increase in accounts
receivable also led to the increase in long-term debt to $7.6 million at
September 30, 2004 from $5.1 million at December 31, 2003.
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 is as follows:
Payment due by period

The Company leases a facility from a partnership controlled by two outside
shareholders of the Company. This lease, which expires on May 14, 2019, contains
an option for the Company to terminate after 10 years (May 14, 2009) subject to
the landlord's ability to relet 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.
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. Payments in
connection with this lease are made by IES.
10
OUTLOOK
The Company expects sales volume in 2004 to increase modestly above the 2003
sales level. The Company's trade show exhibit and retail chain client base of
Fortune 1000 companies is expected to continue to closely manage their marketing
and capital budgets, which would inhibit the Company's sales and margin growth.
The Company continues to explore new sales opportunities while continuing to
pursue operating efficiency improvements and cost reduction initiatives to
mitigate the impact of its clients' tight budget management.
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" ("SFAS 146"). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 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 during the second half
of 2003 and in the second quarter of 2004.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the
words "intends," "believes," "plans," "expects," "anticipates," "probable,"
"could" and similar words are used to identify these 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 enter new markets
and expand existing business; continued availability of financing to provide
additional sources of funding for capital expenditures, working capital and
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 and labor prices from suppliers; changes in
customers' financial condition; the Company's ability to attract and retain
competent employees; the Company's ability to add and retain customers; changes
in sales mix; the Company's ability to integrate and upgrade technology;
uncertainties regarding accidents or litigation which may arise; the financial
impact of facilities consolidations; uncertainties about the impact of the
threat of future terrorist attacks on business travel and related trade show
attendance; 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.
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 4.50%. The Company had
borrowings of $7.4 million from its revolving credit facility at September 30,

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The Company established a Disclosure Committee chaired by the
