As I said I've found nothing on the case. For anyone else who wants to follow another point of interest here is a FUJU related news release:
One-Time Use Cameras and Wholesale Distribution Represent
Growing Industries
Business Wire - June 15, 1998 16:42
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 1998--Emerging Company Report, the nationally syndicated television program
that profiles emerging- growth companies (http://www.emergingcompany.com), produced their weekly show "On-Location" from The Chicago Money Show and featured interviews with the people behind Page International Inc. (OTC/BB:PGII) and PSI Industries Inc. (OTC/BB:PSII). PSI Industries is a national distributor of photo film and supplies for companies like Kodak (NYSE:EK), Fuji (Nasdaq:FUJIY) and Polaroid (NYSE:PRD). The company also has developed and is marketing a unique one-time use camera, "The Message Camera," which includes customized greetings and color messages printed on each photo. "It is ideal for birthdays, graduations, weddings, you name it," said PSI Industries Chief Operating Officer Ben Cohen. "The Message Camera can also be customized with corporate messages; we have already produced private label cameras for Harley Davidson (NYSE:HDI) and Compaq (NYSE:CPQ). We are selling our retail cameras in outlets like K-Mart (NYSE:KM) and Toys R Us (NYSE:TOY)."
Page International Chief Executive Officer Tony Page described his 12-year-old company as being in the wholesale distribution business. "We are one of the largest distributors of Timex watches," said Page.
"From our 37,000 square foot plant in Kentucky, we also distribute umbrellas, compact discs, children's books, Seiko watches and Zippo lighters. As profit margins become slimmer in retail, companies find themselves looking to cut costs and administration by outsourcing. This is exactly where we fit in."
Other companies discussed this week include:
-- Sims Communications Inc. (OTC/BB:SIMS), whose transaction automation solutions are a step forward to bringing the cashless society to reality.
-- Internet-based companies like America Online (NYSE:AOL) and Excite (Nasdaq:XCIT) have been the talk of Wall Street lately. Likewise, Maxnet Inc. (OTC/BB:MXNT) and its webphonebook.com Internet directory has company officials enthusiastic about competing with Yahoo! (Nasdaq:YHOO).
-- Steroidogenesis Inhibitors International (OTC/BB:STGI) and Gene-Cell Inc. (OTC/BB:GCLL) are two companies whose medical breakthroughs have joined companies like Genentech (NYSE:GNE), Entremed (Nasdaq:ENMD) and Abbott Labs (NYSE:ABT) in making news within the medical and financial communities.

Keep in mind Safari only does recycled cameras. Someone needs to produce the shells first! What's good for them is good for Safari.
