                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Connector Resources Unlimited, Inc.


In our opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet and the related
consolidated  statements  of  operations,  of  cash  flows  and  of  changes  in
shareholders'  equity present fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial
position of Connector Resources Unlimited,  Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary
at March 31, 1999, and the results of their  operations and their cash flows for
the  year  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.  These financial  statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management;  our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements  based on our audit.  We conducted  our audit of these  statements in
accordance with generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  which require that we
plan and  perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the
financial  statements  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial   statements,   assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and
significant  estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall financial
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable  basis
for the opinion expressed above.

As described in Note 11, on August 20, 1999,  all of the Company's  common stock
was  purchased  by a  subsidiary  of  Labtec  Inc.  The  accompanying  financial
statements do not include any adjustments relative to this matter.

1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     COMPANY
     Connector  Resources   Unlimited,   Inc.  (the  "Company"),   a  California
     corporation  formed  in  1986,  designs,  develops,  and  markets  computer
     peripheral products principally in North America.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION
     Revenues are recognized upon shipment of the Company's products,  net of an
     estimated  allowance for sales returns.  Gross revenues in fiscal 1999 from
     one customer were $2.9 million or 23.8% of total sales.

     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     The recorded amounts of cash, accounts receivable,  accounts payable, notes
     payable,  and accrued liabilities as presented in the financial  statements
     approximate  fair  value  because  of  the  short-term  maturity  of  these
     instruments.

     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
     The  Company  is  subject  to  credit  risk  primarily  from  its  accounts
     receivable. The Company mitigates its credit risk on receivables by control
     procedures   to  monitor  the  credit   worthiness  of  its  customers  and
     utilization of credit limits.  The Company's  customers are concentrated in
     the technology industry. Therefore, the Company's operations and collection
     of its accounts  receivable are directly associated with the results of the
     technology industry.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
     The  Company  considers  short-term  investments  which are highly  liquid,
     readily  convertible  into cash and have  original  maturities of less than
     three months to be cash equivalents.

     INVENTORIES
     Inventories,  net of  reserves  of $89,739 and $80,055 as of March 31, 1999
     and June 30, 1999, respectively,  are stated at the lower of cost or market
     with cost  being  determined  on the  first-in,  first-out  (FIFO)  method.
     Inventories  consist  primarily of assemblies and purchased  finished goods
     produced for the Company by foreign factories subcontracted by the Company.
     Of the total  inventories,  $476,120 was in transit at March 31, 1999.  The
     Company takes title upon shipment from the foreign port.

     FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
     Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on the
     straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and on an accelerated
     method for tax purposes over  estimated  useful lives ranging from three to
     seven  years.  Depreciation  expense  for the year ended March 31, 1999 was
     $102,870. Depreciation expense included in cost of sales for the year ended
     March 31, 1999 was $92,783.

     Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     ADVERTISING
     The Company expenses  advertising  costs when incurred.  Total  advertising
     expenses were $378,501 for the year ended March 31, 1999.

     INCOME TAXES
     The Company  accounts  for income  taxes in  accordance  with  Statement of
     Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 109 (FAS 109),  ACCOUNTING  FOR INCOME
     TAXES.  FAS 109  requires  the  recognition  of  deferred  tax  assets  and
     liabilities  for the  expected  tax effects  from  differences  between the
     financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.  In estimating
     future tax effects,  FAS 109 generally considers all expected future events
     other than enactments of changes in tax law or statutorily imposed rates.

     USE OF ESTIMATES
     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of the
     financial  statements,  and the  reported  amounts of revenues and expenses
     during  the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those
     estimates. Significant estimates and judgements made by the Company include
     items such as the collectibility of accounts receivable, the level of sales
     returns,  realizability of inventories and realizability of deferred income
     tax assets.

     INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
     The  accompanying  balance sheet as of June 30, 1999 and the  statements of
     operations  and of cash flows for the  three-month  periods  ended June 30,
     1998  and  1999,  are  unaudited.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  these
     statements  have been  prepared on the same basis as the audited  financial
     statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
     adjustments,  necessary  for the fair  presentation  of the  results of the
     interim  periods.  The financial  data and other  information  disclosed in
     these  notes to the  financial  statements  related  to these  periods  are
     unaudited.  The  results for the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 are not
     necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  for the fiscal year
     ending March 31, 2000.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
     Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130
     REPORTING  COMPREHENSIVE  INCOME as of April 1, 1998.  Comprehensive income
     equals net income in all periods presented.

     Deferred taxes are due to timing  differences  in  recognizing  deductions,
     primarily  related  to  depreciation,   amortization  and  certain  accrued
     expenses for income tax and financial reporting purposes.

     The income tax benefit  differs  from the amount  computed by applying  the
     statutory  federal  income  tax rate to  pretax  income  as a result of the
     following differences:

     Income taxes paid during the year ended March 31, 1999 and the three months
     ended  June  30,  1998 and  1999  were  $878,815,  $176,132  and  $243,708,
     respectively.

8.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     In January  1999,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  with a former
     minority  shareholder  to  repurchase  236,410  shares of common  stock for
     $320,000.  The common stock was retired upon repurchase.  The excess of the
     cost of the common stock  repurchased,  $320,000,  less the stated value of
     the common stock repurchased, $100,000, was charged to retained earnings.

9.   STOCK OPTIONS

     The Company  provided a stock  option plan (the Plan)  which  commenced  in
     September  1993.  Options under the Plan were granted at the  discretion of
     the Board of Directors.  The exercise price of these options  generally was
     the fair market value of shares at the date of grant as  determined  by the
     Board of Directors. Such options were exercisable generally at the time the
     options were granted.

     The Plan  allowed the granting of options to purchase up to an aggregate of
     58,248 shares of the Company's common stock. Options granted under the Plan
     were  either  incentive  stock  options or  nonqualified  stock  options as
     defined by the Internal Revenue Code.

9.   STOCK OPTIONS (CONTINUED)

     The Company has elected to follow APB No. 25,  "Accounting for Stock Issued
     to Employees" ("APB 25"), and related interpretations in accounting for its
     employee  stock  options.  Under APB 25,  because the exercise price of the
     Company's  employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying
     stock  on  the  date  of  the  grant,  no  compensation  expense  has  been
     recognized.  Pro forma  information  regarding  net income per share is not
     required by SFAS No. 123,  "Accounting for Stock- Based  Compensation",  as
     all stock options were granted and were fully vested as of October 1, 1993,
     which was before the release of SFAS 123.

     The following table  summarizes the stock option  transactions for the year
     ended March 31, 1999, under the plan described above.

10.  COMMITMENTS

     The Company leases its facilities  under operating lease  agreements  which
     expire  through  May  2001.  The  leases   require   monthly   payments  of
     approximately   $9,200.   Rent   expense   paid  under  these   leases  was
     approximately $113,000 for the year ended March 31, 1999.

     The Company also leases  equipment under  operating  lease  agreements with
     monthly  payments  totaling  approximately  $900. The leases expire through
     October 2001. Rent expense under these leases was approximately $12,200 for
     the year ended March 31, 1999.

     Future minimum annual lease payments required under these agreements are as

     The Company becomes involved in litigation and other proceedings arising in
     the  normal  course of its  business.  In the  opinion of  management,  the
     Company's  liability,  if any,  under  any  pending  litigation  would  not
     materially affect its financial condition or results of operations.

     shareholder to repurchase  65,527 shares of the Company's  common stock for
     $750,000.  The excess of the original cost of the common stock repurchased,

     charged to retained earnings.

LABTEC INC.


INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

On August  20,  1999,  Labtec  Inc.  ("Labtec")  completed  the  acquisition  of
Connector Resources  Unlimited,  Inc. ("CRU"). As a result,  Labtec acquired all
the  outstanding  shares  of CRU for  approximately  $12  million  in cash,  and
$1,500,000 in debt.  Concurrent with the acquisition of CRU, Labtec entered into
a $43 million credit facility with a bank and also sold 312,500 shares of common
stock for $1 million.  The net  proceeds  from the credit  facility and proceeds
from the stock sale were used to retire outstanding debt and accrued interest of
$23.4 million; to pay issuance costs and loan fees on the new credit facility of
$2.1  million;  to pay $275,000  for certain  acquisition  costs  related to the
purchase of CRU; and to fund the purchase of CRU.

The pro forma  financial  information has been prepared as if the acquisition of
CRU had taken place at June 30, 1999 for the pro forma  condensed  balance sheet
and at April 1, 1998 for the pro forma  condensed  statements of operations  for
the year ended March 31, 1999 and the three months ended June 30, 1999.

The  acquisition of CRU has been accounted for as a purchase,  whereby the basis
of accounting for the acquired assets and liabilities have been based upon their
estimated  fair  market  values  at the  date  of  the  acquisition.  Pro  forma
adjustments represent Labtec's preliminary determination of these values and are
based upon estimates and certain assumptions considered reasonable by management
under the  circumstances.  Any purchase  price or fair market value  adjustments
will be made within ninety days from the  acquisition  date and are not expected
to be material to the pro forma financial information taken as a whole.

These pro forma financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only
and are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that would have occurred if
the  acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in
the future. All information  contained herein should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Labtec's
Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  March 31,  1999,  the  financial
statements  and notes  thereto of CRU included in this Form 8- K/A and the notes
to the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information.

LABTEC INC.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET ADJUSTMENTS

(a)  Records the pro forma  purchase  price  allocations  to goodwill  and other
     identifiable intangibles.

(b)  Represents  net  incremental  borrowings  of  $13,651,774  on the Company's
     credit facility and the issuance of a $1,500,000 promissory note payable to
     the previous  shareholders of CRU as well as repayment of interest  accrued
     on retired debt.

(c)  Represents elimination of the equity accounts of CRU.

(d)  Represents transaction costs and other costs relative to the acquisition of
     CRU.

(e)  Represents  $2,144,399 of deferred financing costs incurred relative to the
     Company's credit facility used to finance the CRU acquisition.

(f)  Represents  sale of 312,500 shares of common stock to a finance company for
     proceeds of $1,000,000  ($3.20 per share),  the proceeds of which were used
     to repay debt.

(g)  Represents write-off of deferred loan fees incurred in conjunction with the
     debt   retired  by  the  proceeds  of  the  new  credit   facility.   Since
     non-recurring  charges  are  required  to be  excluded  from pro  forma net
     income, the impact of the write-off of deferred loan fees has been excluded
     from the pro forma consolidated income statements.


STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

(h)  Reflects  the  amortization  of  goodwill  and  other   intangible   assets
     associated  with the purchase of CRU.  Amortization  is over the  estimated
     useful life of three years.

(i)  Represents  additional  interest charges for interest  incurred on Labtec's
     incremental  borrowings  and on  Labtec's  promissory  note  issued  to the
     previous  shareholders of CRU plus amortization of deferred  financing fees
     relative  to the new  credit  facility.  The  deferred  financing  fees are
     amortized over the six year term of the credit  facility.  Interest charges
     are  calculated  at the  borrowing  rate  incurred on  Labtec's  new credit
     facility  of prime plus 1.75%  (10%) and the  stated  interest  rate on the
     promissory note issued to the previous shareholders of CRU (6%).

(j)  Represents   increase  in  income  taxes  as  a  result  of  the  foregoing
     adjustments. Income taxes are calculated at the Company's blended statutory
     tax rate of approximately 38.5%
