NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS
Laminating Technologies Inc.
On December 23, 1998, the Company signed a definitive agreement to merge
with Laminating Technologies Inc. (LTI). The merger calls for the
acquisition of all assets and liabilities of LTI by issuing shares of Pen
stock in exchange for shares of LTI stock. The definitive agreement calls
for Pen to exchange one share of its stock for a number of shares of LTI
stock calculated by taking the market price of Pen's stock and dividing
it by $0.50. The Company is currently in the process of filing an Form
S-4 with the SEC in completing this transaction. It is anticipated that
the merger will be brought before LTI's shareholders for a final vote in
May of this year. This merger is expected to bring approximately $1.8
million in cash to the Company to be used in funding operations.
Cables To Go Inc.
On January 29, 1999 the Company signed a purchase agreement to sell
certain assets and transfer certain liabilities of the Cable division to
Cables To Go Inc (CTG). CTG purchased certain of the receivables,
inventory, machinery and equipment and assumed capital lease liabilities
for $1,075,000. The CTG transaction yielded a gain of $68,988; however,
assets remaining with the Company after the transaction when written off
resulted in a charge of $1,039,863 to income yielding a net loss from the
transaction of $970,875. Although the net transaction yielded a
substantial loss, the Company is expected to save $62,000 per month in
cash and operating losses which management feels is necessary to return
the Company to profitable operations on a monthly basis. The agreement
with CTG also provides for royalty payments equal to 2 percent of sales
to be paid quarterly up to an amount of $600,000 of which $150,000 is
guaranteed.
Mobile Technology Inc.
On February 1, 1999 the Company signed a letter of intent with Mobile
Technology Inc. (MTI) to sell all assets and liabilities of the MotoSat
division. The purchase price is $600,000 which will be supported by a
note for said amount to paid at a rate of $60,000 for ten years. Payments
against this note will be offset against obligations the Company has to
pay Jim Pendleton, principal owner of MTI and former CEO of the Company
for retirement benefits under an employment contract entered into with
the Company. The agreement requires the Company to maintain and/or
provide a $300,000 credit facility with the Company's major lender.
Inasmuch as MTI does not currently have the working capital to cash out
the Company from its obligation with its major lender, the Company will
retain ownership of MotoSat receivables and inventory which are being
used as collateral for advances to the Company. Future sales and
purchases of inventory will have to continue to be used as collateral to
raise the cash needed to sustain operations until independent financing
can be secured. There is no guarantee however that this financing will
ever be able to be secured.

The Company signed a definitive agreement to merge with Transdigital
Communications, Inc. (TCC) in July of 1999. The agreement, which would
result in a reverse merger with TCC management becoming the management of
the new company, stipulated various closing conditions for both Pen and
TCC. As of this date, it is doubtful that the closing conditions
stipulated in the agreement will be met and both parties have mutually

percent. If the merger with LTI is not consummated, the loans will be
repaid by the issue of warrants. One bridge loan was secured in November
for $500,000 and the other in December for $400,000 and are included in
long-term obligations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
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 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 months
ended December 31, 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, 1998.
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.
Potential merger. The Company signed a definitive agreement to merge with
Transdigital Communications, Inc. (TCC) in July of 1999. The agreement, which
would result in a reverse merger with TCC management becoming the management of
the new company, stipulated various closing conditions for both Pen and TCC. As
of this date, it is doubtful that the closing conditions stipulated in the
agreement will be met and both parties have mutually agreed to terminate the
agreement, although a writing to this effect has not been completed.

Results of Operations
Net sales. Net sales for the Company increased $853,122 or approximately 22
percent for the three month period ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the
same period in the prior year. This increase resulted from an increase in the
Alaris contract at the InCirt division. Sales for this division during the first
three months of FY 99 were $3,391,569 compared to $2,100,000 during the first
three months in FY 98. This increase is offset by a decline in sales of the
Cable division of $350,000.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales have increased to
approximately 96 percent for the three months ended December 31, 1998, as
compared to 78 percent for the same period in the prior year. This increase is
due to declining sales in the cable division and no reduction in overhead costs
and a decrease in the margins on the Alaris contract at the InCirt division.
This decrease in prices raised the breakeven point beyond where this division
has sustained sales.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased during the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 by approximately $288,260. This increase resulted in the following
areas: (1) Research and development of $79,310 associated with new product
development costs in the PowerStream Division; (2) General and Administrative
costs increased by $166,704 primarily due to legal and audit fees to support the
merger and divestiture discussions and increased overhead expenses at the InCirt
division to support the increased level of sales with the Alaris contract; and
(3) Sales and marketing expenses increased by $29,904 primarily due to sales
efforts made to replace sales lost in the sale of the Cable division.
Other income and expenses. Other income and expenses increased $218,286 for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in the prior
year. This increase is the result of increased interest expense of $113,835 due
to an increase in the average line of credit outstanding during the quarter
resulting primarily from the Alaris contract expansion at the InCirt division
and the related increase in receivables and inventory associated with that
increase, $40,000 of non-operating income from the TMCI settlement booked in FY
1998 but not repeated in FY 1999 and $74,294 in expenses associated with
interest expense on the subordinated debentures and with the Finova line of
credit.
Net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share. Net loss for the first fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 1999 totaled ($1,245,235) or ($0.22) per share,
compared with losses of ($34,166) or ($0.01) per share for the first fiscal
quarter of 1998. The increase in the loss per share of ($0.21) is primarily
caused by ($0.12) due to decreased margins on sales, ($0.01) from an increase in
research and development costs, ($0.03) from an increase in interest expense and
($0.02) from an increase in other expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first three months of FY 99 the Company sustained losses of
$1,245,235 which continued the trend of FY 98. Management has taken steps to
correct this trend by signing a purchase agreement with Cables To Go as of the
date of this filing to sell the Cable division and by signing a definitive
agreement with Jim Pendleton to sell the MotoSat division. With the selling of
the two aforementioned divisions, the Company expects to save approximately
$170,000 per month in operating costs and interest. The Company has also signed
a definitive agreement with Laminating Technologies Inc. (LTI) to merge with Pen
being the surviving company. This merger will bring additional funds of
approximately $1.8 million to the Company.
13
<PAGE>
As a result of these losses, the Company has had to raise cash through two
bridge loans and the exercise of warrants from a re-strike of the purchase price
of the stock. The bridge loans, based on the cash to be received from the merger
with LTI, raised a total of $896,000 while the exercise of warrants yielded an
additional $212,012.
The Company anticipates increases in sales and a return to profitability
beginning in the third quarter of FY 99. Until such time, it is estimated that
between $1 million and $2 million will have to be raised to sustain operations.
These funds are expected to be raised from the sale of Preferred Convertible
stock for approximately $1 million and additional loans on the expected cash
from the LTI merger.
Management believes that these additional sources of funds will be sufficient to
sustain operations through the second quarter and into the third quarter when
sales increases are expected. Management also believes that sales increases from
new contracts with better margins is necessary to return the Company to
achieving positive earnings. Management cannot guarantee however that these
efforts to raise funds nor the expected increases in sales will materialize.
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.
