NOTE A - ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS
POWER STREAM TECHNOLOGY
Effective April 1, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets, and assumed certain liabilities and the operations, of
PowerStream Technology, Inc. ("PowerStream") by issuing 150,000 shares of
common stock valued at $1.50 per share. PowerStream is a research and
development company specializing in power recharging devices and power
supply products. In addition the Company entered into a 5 year Employment
Agreement with Daniele Reni, the President of PowerStream. The Company
believes that Mr. Reni is an expert in the area of power recharging
devices and power supply products. This transaction was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly the purchased assets
and liabilities have been recorded at their fair value at the date of
acquisition and the excess purchase price over fair value of net tangible
assets acquired of $749,114 is being amortized over 15 years. The results
of operations of the acquired business have been included in the
financial statements since the effective date of acquisition.
SALE OF SAN JOSE DIVISION
Effective November 1, 1996, the Company sold substantially all of the
net assets used by the San Jose Division ("Division") to Touche
Electronics, Inc. ("Touche"), a subsidiary of TMCI Electronics, Inc.
("TMCI"). The sales price for the net assets of the Division was
$3,300,000; consisting of $2,000,000 in cash, $900,000 in promissory
notes, and 53,669 shares of TMCI common stock with an agreed upon
guaranteed value of $400,000. In addition, the Company had the right
to receive up to $700,000 in contingent earnouts for a potential total
sale price of $4,000,000. The Company originally purchased the
Division in March 1995 for approximately $2,100,000. As part of the
transaction, Touche and TMCI also assumed certain liabilities
associated with the operations of the Division.
In February 1997, TMCI filed a notice of demand for rescission of the
purchase and sale of the Division. The Company filed a counterclaim
against TMCI in May, 1997, alleging that TMCI had defaulted in its
obligations under the promissory notes. The disputes were subsequently
submitted to arbitration in August, 1997.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSALS - CONTINUED
In December 1997, the Company and TMCI entered into a Settlement and
Release Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement"), releasing each other
of any and all respective claims the parties may have had against each
other. The Settlement Agreement provided, in part, that TMCI issue to
the Company, 137,390 shares of TMCI's common stock to replace the
$900,000 of promissory notes and related accrued interest payable by
TMCI to the Company. The Settlement Stock is guaranteed to have a
minimum value of $7.4532 per share. In the event the Settlement Stock
is sold by the Company at less than that amount, TMCI is obligated to
pay the Company the difference between the sales price and the
guaranteed value. The conclusion of the disputes, will allow the
Company and TMCI to continue their joint sales and marketing
arrangements.
The results of operations include one month of operations for the nine
month period ended June 30, 1997. The balance sheet excludes the
Division as of June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997.

Earnings (loss) per share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per
Share." SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements for periods
ending after December 15, 1997, and requires companies to report both
"basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. A "Basic" earnings per share does
not include the addition of common stock equivalents to the shares
outstanding. "Diluted" earnings per share requires the addition of common
stock equivalents to the shares outstanding. Average shares outstanding is
the denominator used in "basic" earnings per share calculations.
Accordingly, "basic" earnings per share will be higher than "diluted"
earnings per share. This statement replaces Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share." The effect of adopting SFAS
128 did not materially effect the Company's earnings per share. The
following tables show the amounts used in computing earnings (loss) per
common share, including the weighted average number of shares and dilutive
potential common shares

ITEM 2.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. This report contains certain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as
amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
that involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, the Company may from time to
time make oral forward-looking statements. Actual results are uncertain and may
be impacted by the following factors. In particular, certain risks and
uncertainties that may impact the accuracy of the forward-looking statements
with respect to revenues, expenses and operating results include without
limitation, cycles of customer orders, general economic and competitive
conditions and changing consumer trends, technological advances and the number
and timing of new product introductions, shipments of products and components
from foreign suppliers, and the timing of operating and changes in the mix of
products ordered by customers. As a result, the actual results may differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Because of these and other factors that may affect the Company's operating
results, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of
future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate
results or trends in future periods.
The following discussion and analysis provides certain information which the
Company's management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of
the Company's results of operations and financial condition for the three and
nine month periods ending June 30, 1998 and 1997. This discussion should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and notes
thereto included in the Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended September 30, 1997.
General
Pen Interconnect, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pen") is a total interconnection
solution provider offering internal and external custom cable and harness
interconnections, mobile satellite equipment, EMSI (Electronic Manufacturing
Service Industry) manufacturing (circuit board assembly) and custom design and
manufacturing of battery chargers, power supplies and Uninterruptible Power
Supply UPS systems for original equipment manufactures ("OEMs") in the computer,
peripheral, telecommunications, instrumentation, medical and testing equipment
industries. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on
September 30, 1985. The Company maintains divisions located in Salt Lake City,
and Orem, Utah and Irvine, California.
Results of Operations
Effective March 24, 1995, the Company acquired the net assets of the San Jose
Division which has been accounted for as a purchase. This division was sold on
November 1, 1996 (Note A). Therefore, the statement of operations data include
the results of operations for only one month in the nine months ended June 30,
1997.

Net sales. Net sales for the Company remained flat for the three month period
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Net sales
have decreased approximately 20% for the nine month period ending June 30, 1998
as compared to the same period in the prior year. The flat sales for the three
month period is the direct result of the start of a significant contract for our
InCirT Division which started during this most recent quarter. The decrease for
the nine month period principally resulted from the loss of a large customer,
the move out of several orders into future quarters of the year and decreased
orders by several other significant customers. Such move out and loss of orders
were not able to be replaced within the short-term.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales have decreased to
approximately 78% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to 91%
for the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales as a percentage of net
sales have decreased to approximately 78% for the nine months ended June 30,
1998, as compared to 85% for the same period in the prior year. These decreases
in costs resulted from reduced materials costs due to discounts obtained from
vendors on several new contracts. In addition, the Company has reduced support
costs in cost of goods sold during the most recent nine month period to
correspond with the reduced sales levels.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses have increased as a percentage of net
sales to approximately 19% for the three and nine month periods at June 30,
1998, respectively as compared to approximately 17% and 14% for the same periods
in the prior year. These cost increases have resulted from the following two
areas: 1) Research and Development expenditures in an effort to develop new
products with improved margins and 2) depreciation and amortization due to
amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with past
acquisitions. Sales and marketing actually decreased when compared to the prior
year but reflect an increase in relation to sales due to the decrease in sales.
General and Administrative expenses increased in the three month period due to
increased costs in public relations and the legal and accounting fees associated
with the merger negotiations with TMCI. Due to the fixed components included in
the other operating costs they could not be significantly reduced in the
short-term and due to the expected rebound in sales in future quarters such
reductions were not considered necessary.
Other income and expenses. Other income and expenses (not including the gain on
the sale of the San Jose Division) as a percentage of net sales of approximately
(1%) and (2%) respectively for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1998 are
basically unchanged as compared to approximately (2%) for both the three and
nine months ended in the prior year.

Net earnings(loss) and earnings(loss) per share. Net earnings for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $63,451 or $0.01 basic per share earnings,
compared with a loss of ($297,879) or ($0.09) basic per share loss for the same
period in the prior year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1998 the net
earnings were $53,400 or $0.01 basic per share earnings, compared with a loss
(before the gain on sale of division) of ($215,272) or ($0.07) basic per share
loss for the same period in the prior year.
The increase in earnings and earnings per share as compared to the prior periods
(excluding the gain on the sale of the division) is due in large part to
improved pricing from several vendors and cost cutting efforts implemented by
management.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital increased to $3,847,388 on June 30, 1998 from $1,065,778 on
September 30, 1997. The increase is principally due to the proceeds received
from the sale of the debentures and from the additional term loan.
Management believes that existing cash balances, borrowings available under the
line of credit together with cash generated from projected operations should be
adequate to meet the Company's anticipated cash requirements during the next
twelve months. However; in the event the Company's operating performance is less
than projected the Company may be forced to seek additional financing. There can
be no assurance that such additional financing, if required, would be available;
and if available would be available on favorable terms.
Inflation and Seasonality
The Company does not believe that it is significantly impacted by inflation.
Historically, the computer industry sales tend to decline in December, January,
July and August when activity in the personal computer industry as a whole is
reduced. However, the Company has recently diversified into the medical and
telecommunications products in an effort to offset the seasonality in the
computer industry.
