5.       Stock

On December 1, 1999 the Company  completed a one-for-two  reverse stock split of
its common stock.  Subsequent  to the reverse stock split,  one of the Company's

6.       Earnings Per Share

Net income (loss) per share on a diluted basis is based on the weighted  average
number  of  shares  of common  stock  and all  potentially  dilutive  securities
outstanding  during the periods,  computed  using the treasury  stock method for
stock options.  Given the Company's net loss for the three months ended June 30,
1999,  the  dilutive  effect  of  stock  options  has  been  excluded  from  the
computation  of the weighted  average shares  outstanding.  For the three months
ended June 30, 2000,  the dilutive  impact of stock  options are included in the
computation  of net income per share in accordance  with FAS 128. On December 1,
1999 the Company had a  one-for-two  reverse stock split.  The weighted  average
shares outstanding in 1999 have been adjusted to reflect the reverse split.

Weighted average shares outstanding consist of the following:

7.     Purchase of Connector Resources Unlimited, Inc.

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  $13,146 in cash and $1,500 in
debt.  Concurrent  with the  acquisition  of CRU,  Labtec entered into a $43,000
credit  facility  with a lender  and also sold 156  shares  of common  stock for
$1,000.  The net proceeds  from the credit  facility and proceeds from the stock
sale were used to retire outstanding debt and accrued interest totaling $23,400,
to pay debt issuance costs and loan fees on the new credit facility,  to pay for
certain  acquisition  costs  related  to the  purchase  of CRU and to  fund  the
purchase of CRU. CRU designs,  develops and markets computer peripheral products
principally in North America.  The  acquisition  was accounted for as a purchase
and therefore the operations of CRU have been included with those of the Company
since August 20, 1999.

The following sets forth the reconciliation of fair value of the assets acquired
and the liabilities assumed.

Purchase price                                                  $ 14,646
Fair value of tangible assets acquired                            (5,338)
Liabilities assumed                                                2,098
Direct costs of acquisition                                          755
                                                                --------
Excess of purchase price over fair value of tangible assets     $ 12,161
                                                                ========

The excess of the purchase price over fair value of tangible  assets acquired is
being amortized over an estimated useful life of twenty years.

The  following  unaudited  pro forma  information  presents  the  results of the
Company's  operations assuming the CRU acquisition  occurred at the beginning of
the  respective  three month  periods,  after giving effect to  adjustments  for
amortization  of  goodwill,  estimated  increase  in  interest  expense  and the
estimated impact on the income tax provision.

The unaudited pro forma financial  information is not necessarily  indicative of
the  operating  results that would have  occurred had the CRU  acquisition  been
consummated as of the beginning of each period, nor is it necessarily indicative
of future operating results.  The unaudited pro forma information should be read
in  conjunction  with the current report of the Company on Form 8-K dated August
20, 1999 and the current  report of the Company on Form 8-K/A filed  November 2,
1999.

8.     Borrowings

In  conjunction  with the purchase of CRU in August 1999, the Company repaid its
$7,500  revolving line of credit and $19,250  long-term loan with funds obtained
from a $27,000  long-term loan and a $16,000 revolving line of credit with other
lenders.  Also, a $1,500 seven and one-half year  promissory  note was issued to
the prior shareholders of CRU. Fees related to the extinguished  credit line are
included in the extraordinary  loss on extinguishment of debt. At June 30, 2000,
the long-term  loans and a portion of the revolving line of credit were accruing
interest at LIBOR plus  3.25-3.50%  and the  remaining  portion of the revolving
line of credit was accruing  interest at the prime rate plus 1.75%.  In December
1999, the Company  entered into an interest rate swap agreement with its primary
lender in order to fix the interest rate on a portion of its long-term  debt. At
June 30, 2000,  the amount of debt  subject to the fixed rate was  $12,450,  for
which the rate was 9.78%.  The bank line of credit is  secured by  substantially
all of the Company's  assets.  Loan fees paid to the banks and transaction  fees
relating to the term loan,  revolving  line of credit and  promissory  note were
$2,419 and have been recorded in debt issuance costs. The current line of credit
expires in September 2005 and the long-term debt expires June 30, 2005.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          ---------------------------------------------------------------
          Results of Operations.
          ----------------------

Overview

The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

This Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations  contains  forward-looking  statements that involve a number of risks
and  uncertainties.  The following are among the factors that could cause actual
results  to differ  materially  from the  forward-looking  statements:  business
conditions  and growth in the  personal  computer  and  workstation  industries;
general economies, both domestic and international; lower than expected customer
orders or variations in customer order patterns;  competitive factors, including
increased  competition,   new  product  offerings  by  competitors  and  pricing
pressures;  the  availability of parts and  components;  changes in product mix;
resource  constraints  encountered  in  developing  new  products;  and  product
shipment  interruptions due to manufacturing  difficulties.  The forward-looking
statements contained in the MD&A regarding industry trends,  product development
and liquidity and future  business  activities  should be considered in light of
these factors.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

Net sales for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000  increased  $8,576,095  to
$24,088,354  from $15,512,259 for the period in fiscal 2000. The increase in net
sales  over the  periods  was due to the  increase  in sales  for the  Company's
personal audio, multimedia speaker and PC Voice Access(TM) line of products, and
the addition of sales from the data storage  product line.  Also,  the Company's
North American retail business  increased  substantially.  The Company's largest
customer  represented 9.8% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000, as
compared to 8.1% of sales for three months ended June 30, 1999.

Cost of sales increased $5,266,604 to $14,441,798 in the three months ended June
30, 2000 from  $9,175,194  in the period in fiscal 2000.  The increase  over the
periods was primarily the result of an increase in net sales. As a percentage of
net sales,  the cost of sales  increased  slightly  to 60.0% for fiscal  2001 as
compared to 59.1% for fiscal 2000.  The increase as a percentage of net sales is
attributable to airfreight  expense incurred because of the shortage of PC Voice
Access(TM) products.

Selling and  marketing  expenses  increased  over the periods by  $1,875,363  to
$5,224,665 from $3,349,302.  As a percentage of net sales, selling and marketing
expenses  increased  slightly  to 21.7%  from  21.6%.  The  dollar  increase  is
primarily a result of additional sales personnel, higher travel costs to support
the increased  sales volume,  increased  variable costs related to the increased
sales  volume,  and increased  marketing  efforts in the North  American  retail
portion  of the  business  to  maintain  market  share in this very  competitive
market.

sales,  general and  administrative  expenses  decreased to 5.3% from 6.7%.  The
dollar increase is due primarily to labor costs related to the adding  personnel
for the CRU acquisition and bonuses accrued for to the Company's executives.  As
a  percentage  of net  sales,  general  and  administrative  expenses  decreased
primarily due to increased net sales.

Research  and  development  expenses  increased  over the periods by $101,006 to
$598,805  from  $497,799,  primarily  due to  the  increased  investment  in the
development  of  new  speaker  and  PC  Voice  Access(TM)  products  and  to the
enhancement  of  current  products.  Also,  the  dollar  increase  reflects  the
increased  hiring  of  employees  working  in  research  and  development.  As a
percentage of net sales,  research and  development  decreased  primarily due to
increased net sales.

Depreciation  increased  over the periods by $31,591 to $377,356 from  $345,765.
The increase was  primarily  the result of increased  capital  expenditures  for
tooling and molds for the new products being developed.  Depreciation  decreased
as a percentage of net sales primarily due to the increase in net sales.

Amortization  decreased  over the periods by $517,328 to $299,370 from $816,698.
This decrease was the result of changing the Spacetec  amortization  of goodwill
from three (3) years to ten (10) years.  Goodwill (the  purchase  price paid for
Spacetec  and CRU in excess of the fair value of net  tangible  assets) is being
amortized  over ten (10)  years for  Spacetec  and  twenty  (20)  years for CRU.
Amortization  decreased  as a  percentage  of  net  sales  primarily  due to the
increase in net sales.

Interest  expense  increased  over the periods by $410,562  to  $1,171,958  from
$761,396,  primarily as the result of the Company's  refinancing  and increasing
its debt in  conjunction  with the purchase of CRU.  Net  interest  expense as a
percentage of net sales remained the same.

The  provision for income taxes was $248,862 for the three months ended June 30,
2000,  as compared to $49,299  for the same period in fiscal  2000.  The primary
reason for the increase was the pre-tax income of $637,780 compared to a pre-tax
loss of $498,903 for the prior year.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2000, the Company had $1,474,985 in cash and cash equivalents and
working capital of $10,937,332.  The working capital balance decrease from March
31, 2000,  was  primarily due to the increase in borrowing on the line of credit
and increases in accounts  payable,  which was partially offset, by the increase
in inventory.

Net cash provided by operating  activities  was  $3,174,111 for the three months
ended June 30,  2000,  compared to cash  provided  by  operating  activities  of
$678,578 for the same period in fiscal 2000.  The increase in net cash  provided
by operating activities was primarily due to the increase in net income over the
prior year net loss and the increase in accounts  payable,  which was  partially
offset by an increase in inventories.

Net cash used in  investing  activities  was $653,122 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000, compared to net cash used in investing  activities of $177,558 in
fiscal 2000.  The increase was  primarily  due to capital  expenditures  for the
purchase of tooling and molds for the new products  being  developed this fiscal
year.

Financing activities used net cash of $2,426,523 for the three months ended June
30, 2000, principally for repayment of long-term debt.

At June 30, 2000, the long-term  loans were accruing  interest at the LIBOR rate
plus 3.25 - 3.50%, the subordinated note at 12%, the line of credit at the prime
rate  plus  1.75%,  and the  promissory  notes at 10% and 6%,  respectively.  In
December 1999, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with its
primary  lender in order to fix the interest  rate on a portion of its long-term
debt.  At June 30,  2000,  the  amount of debt  subject  to the  fixed  rate was
$12,450,000, for which the rate was 9.78%.

The  Company  believes  that its  existing  cash and  revolving  line of credit,
together  with future funds from  operations,  will satisfy its need for working
capital and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve-month period.

Year 2000 Issues

The Year  2000  issue is the  result  of  date-sensitive  devices,  systems  and
computer programs that were deployed using two digits rather than four to define
the applicable year. Any such  technologies may recognize a year containing "00"
as the year  1900  rather  than the year  2000.  This  could  result in a system
failure or  miscalculation  causing  disruption of operations  including,  among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in similar
normal business activities.

The Company did not experience  any  significant  malfunctions  or errors in its
information or business  systems when the date changed from 1999 to 2000.  Based
on its  operations  since  January  1,  2000,  the  Company  does not expect any
significant  problems  related to the Year 2000 issue.  However,  it is possible
that the full  impact of the date  change  has not been  fully  recognized.  For
example,  it is  possible  that Year 2000 or similar  issues,  such as leap year
related problems,  may occur with financial closings.  The Company believes that
any such problems will be minor and easily corrected.  In addition,  the Company
could still be negatively  impacted if the Year 2000 or similar issues adversely
affect its  customers or suppliers.  Currently,  the Company is not aware of any
significant Year 2000 or similar problems that have arisen with its customers or
suppliers.
