PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more
detailed information, including information contained under the caption "Risk
Factors," and financial statements, including notes thereto, appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus.
THE COMPANY
OVERVIEW
TMCI Electronics, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State
of Delaware on December 7, 1995 for the purpose of acquiring the businesses of
Touche Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("Touche") and Touche Electronics, Inc.
("TEI"). The principal executive offices of the Company, Touche and TEI are
located in San Jose, California. Touche and TEI were principally owned by
Rolando Loera, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The
Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of
Touche and TEI on March 5, 1996 from Mr. Loera and all of the minority
shareholders of Touche and TEI pursuant to the terms of certain Stock Purchase
Agreements dated December 28, 1995 (the "Stock Purchase Agreements").
Following the exchange of common stock of Touche and TEI contemplated
by the Stock Purchase Agreements, the Company's business became that of Touche
and TEI. The Company now derives its revenues from the operation of its wholly
owned subsidiaries, including Touche and TEI.
Touche and TEI provide custom manufacturing and value-added services,
respectively, to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). Their customers are
concentrated into four (4) different segments of the Information Technology
Industry and include manufacturers of mini, mainframe, micro and personal
computers, telecommunications equipment, semiconductor manufacturing test
equipment and medical test equipment. Touche and TEI do not manufacture or
produce any products that are sold to customers from inventory; all of their
products are manufactured to customer specifications and all value-added
services are performed to the specifications of the customer.
The Company has recently acquired a wire cable and harness business, a
metal stamping manufacturing business and an electronic parts distributor. See
"Pen Interconnect, Inc.", "Enterprise Industries, Inc." and "Trinity
Electronics, Inc."
TOUCHE MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC.
Touche manufactures custom designed fabricated metal cabinets or
enclosures for OEMs that produce computers, telecommunications equipment,
semiconductor manufacturing test equipment and medical test equipment. These
products are used by the OEMs to house various types of electronic components.
Touche is a full service manufacturing facility for such products. As such,
Touche's engineering and design personnel work closely with each customer to
design and build an initial prototype of the specified cabinet or enclosure.
Based upon the actual production of the prototype, its design and
specifications are reviewed and a cost effective manufacturing process is
developed. All of the various manufacturing processes, which include metal
shearing, punching, bending and welding, as well as machining, detailing, zinc
plating, painting and final assembly are provided in-house by Touche. All of
the raw materials used to manufacture these products are readily available from
numerous suppliers at competitive prices. By controlling the various
manufacturing processes in-house, Touche is able to
-3-
<PAGE>
provide its customers custom manufactured metal cabinets or enclosures in a
timely, efficient and cost-effective manner. The full service manufacturing
capability enables Touche to derive a competitive advantage over manufacturers
that have to sub-contract for one or more of the various manufacturing
processes. All of Touche's products are manufactured to specific customer
requirements pursuant to contracts or purchase orders with the respective
customers. Approximately 75% of Touche's manufacturing is performed on a mass
production basis for metal cabinets or enclosures, while the remaining 25% is
in developing prototype products for future development by its customers.
TOUCHE ELECTRONICS, INC.
In late 1992, a number of Touche's customers expressed an interest in
identifying methods of reducing their own manufacturing costs. This desire led
the management of Touche to examine its existing manufacturing capabilities and
to consider other types of services that could be offered to its customers in
conjunction with its manufacturing of custom designed fabricated metal cabinets
or enclosures. Accordingly, in early 1993 TEI was formed as a sister company to
Touche. TEI provides value-added turnkey services to many of Touche's OEM
customers. Today, these services are primarily the installation of cable and
harness assemblies into the products manufactured by Touche and also into
enclosure products manufactured by other local enclosure manufacturers that do
not have the in-house capability to provide such services. All of TEI's
value-added turnkey services are provided pursuant to contracts or purchase
orders with its customers.
The custom manufacturing of fabricated metal cabinets or enclosures
combined with the capability to provide cable and harness assembly services
enables Touche and TEI to attract and retain customer business that they may
not have otherwise obtained, thereby enhancing their competitive position in
the marketplace.
CUSTOMER PRODUCT SERVICES
Touche and TEI work with their respective customers in designing and
engineering products and in helping to develop prototypes for such products
before production manufacturing. The following processes are involved in
providing these services: shearing, bending, sheet metal, welding, machining,
detailing, zinc plating, painting and assembly. These services are currently
provided to a wide range of computer manufacturing companies,
telecommunications equipment manufacturing companies, semiconductor test
equipment manufacturing companies and medical test equipment manufacturing
companies throughout the Silicon Valley area.
The businesses of Touche and TEI, in providing customers with custom
designed and manufactured products or services, relate to four major market
areas:
Computer Systems. Touche and TEI manufacturing and assembly businesses
provide a full complement of manufacturing capabilities for mini and mainframe
computers, microcomputers and personal computers. Even though this segment of
the information technology industry is being reshaped by evolutionary changes
in semiconductor design and memory capacity, the Company intends to increase
its marketing efforts in these areas. However, the Company's principal focus
will remain in commercial markets.
Telecommunications Equipment. The changes in the basic structure of
the telecommunications segment of the information technology industry are
reflected in the recently adopted legislation that allows
-4-
<PAGE>
for wireless communications and cable operators to offer telephone service over
coaxial connections to the home. The information superhighway is expected to
provide new avenues into the home. The use of coaxial cable and fiber optics
will give companies the bandwidth necessary to deliver hundreds of channels of
voice, data, and video services. Based on the changing conditions within the
industry, telecommunications equipment is forecast to continue to grow at an
above average annual rate. Touche and TEI believe that, with their present and
future manufacturing and service capabilities, they are well positioned to take
on the competitive challenges of this growing industry. Penetration of this
market segment is considered a more long term goal for the Company. Marketing
activities in this segment are directly in line with the Company's current
development of manufacturing facilities for the production of specific types of
wire and cable that is used in the computer systems segment of the information
technology industry.
Test Equipment. Touche and TEI intend to market their product
manufacturing and service capabilities in test equipment market areas. The
Company's target customers are principally large and medium-sized corporations
that specialize in the design and development of scientific measurement and
production devices that may be used by major producers in the semiconductor
industry who design and manufacture wafers that produce computer chips and the
like. The Company will continue to explore and expand new opportunities with
its customer base and look to refine the diversification of its production
capabilities in designing and manufacturing products within this market segment
as well as others.
Medical Equipment. Touche and TEI intend to continue marketing their
manufacturing and cable harness assembly services, respectively, to existing
and prospective OEMs of medical equipment. The Company targets customers with
strong track records in the design, development and production of sophisticated
medical diagnostic and analysis equipment, such as MRI equipment, which is used
in hospital and medical clinics by medical doctors to assist in their diagnoses
of otherwise very serious and complicated patient medical problems. The Company
believes that this segment of the information technology industry will grow,
offering increased opportunities to companies like Touche and TEI which are
positioned to provide cost-effective manufacturing services at competitive
prices.
PEN INTERCONNECT INC.
On November 12, 1996, TEI acquired the net assets (accounts
receivable, inventory and capital equipment) of the San Jose-based wire cable
and harness manufacturing division of Pen Interconnect Inc.
("PII").
The division acquired is a wire cable harness manufacturer, producing
different types of cable and harnesses that are used by TEI and other
subcontractors in the production of original equipment products. TEI intends to
continue such business by operating it as a division.
The consideration paid for the acquisition consisted of (a) $2.0
million in cash; (b) two promissory notes in the principal amounts of $500,000
and $400,000, respectively; and (c) 134,172 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. The notes bear interest at the prime rate plus .5% and are payable over
periods of 48 and 24 months, respectively. TMCI may also be obligated to issue
up to an additional 13,417 shares of Common Stock in the event that certain
overdue accounts receivable are collected.
Subsequent to the closing of the foregoing acquisition, a dispute
arose concerning various aspects of the transaction. On February 14, 1997, TMCI
filed a Demand for Arbitration against PII, seeking a
-5-
<PAGE>
substantial purchase price reduction or, in the alternative, other remedies and
damages as provided by law. TMCI and PII reached a mutual agreement on November
25, 1997 whereby there will be no purchase price reduction nor any other legal
remedies or damages. For a more detailed discussion of the agreement, see
"Legal Proceedings."
ENTERPRISE INDUSTRIES, INC.
On January 24, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of Enterprise Industries, Inc. ("EII"), a North
Hollywood, California based metal stamping manufacturing business. The purchase
price consisted of $1,000,000 in cash and the issuance of 96,560 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. EII will continue to operate under its present name as
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The President of Enterprise
Industries, Inc. has signed a five (5) year employment contract with the
company to manage that company's operations.
TRINITY ELECTRONICS, INC.
On December 22, 1997, Trinity Electronics, Inc. ("Trinity"), a
distributor of electronic parts located in Santa Clara, California, merged with
and into TMCI/Trinity Acquisition Corp. ("TMCI/Trinity"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The effective date of the transaction was October 1,
1997. The Company paid a total of $4,290,000, consisting of a cash payment of
$1,000,000, two promissory notes in the amounts of $1,000,000 and $290,000,
respectively, and the issuance of 404,539 shares of the Company's Common Stock,
valued at $2,000,000. TMCI/Trinity will operate as wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company. The President and Chief Executive Officer of Trinity has signed a
five (5) year employment contract with the subsidiary to manage that company's
operations.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1875
Dobbin Drive, San Jose, California 95133 and its telephone number is (408)
272-5700.

RISK FACTORS
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH
DEGREE OF RISK. ONLY THOSE PERSONS ABLE TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT SHOULD
PURCHASE THESE SECURITIES. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS, PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT
DECISION, SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THIS PROSPECTUS AND CONSIDER, ALONG WITH OTHER
MATTERS REFERRED TO HEREIN, THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS:
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this Prospectus, the words "believes", "anticipates",
"expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify in certain
circumstances, forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected, including the risks described in the "Risk
Factors" section. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. The Company also
undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
NEW COMPANY WITH LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
TMCI Electronics, Inc. (the "Company"), incorporated in the State of
Delaware on December 7, 1995, is a recently organized corporation that acquired
in March 1996 all of the issued and outstanding stock of Touche Manufacturing
Company, Inc. ("Touche") and Touche Electronics, Inc. ("TEI"), San Jose,
California, in an exchange of securities, whereby each corporation became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company's only operations prior to
March 1996 consisted of entering into agreements to acquire Touche and TEI and
taking steps preparatory to the March 1996 Offering. On January 24, 1997 and on
December 22, 1997, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock of Enterprise Industries, Inc. ("EII")and Trinity
Electronics, Inc. ("Trinity"), respectively. The Company now derives its
revenues from the operation of its wholly owned subsidiaries, including
Touche, TEI, EII and Trinity. Therefore, the performance of the parent company
is measured by and depends entirely upon the activities of its subsidiaries.
The Company can make no assurances that the combination of these companies
will prove as successful as the subsidiaries were independently. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and "Business."
NO ASSURANCE OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY
Although Touche and TEI had a combined rolling backlog at December 31,
1996 of approximately $10 million, no assurance can be given that the future
operations of the Company or its subsidiaries will be profitable. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
NO ASSURANCE OF PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
No assurance can be made that should the operation of the Company or
its subsidiaries be profitable the Company will pay dividends. Even if the
Company or its subsidiaries do remain profitable, it is likely that the Company
or its subsidiaries would retain much or all of the earnings in order to
finance future growth and expansion. Therefore, the Company does not presently
intend to pay dividends. See "Price Range of Common Stock and Dividend Policy."
-9-
<PAGE>
COMPANY'S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH CERTAIN COVENANTS ON ITS DEBT
In March 1996, the Company entered into a line of credit and term loan
facility with a financial institution. The facility contains certain covenants
which require the Company, among other things, to maintain minimum levels of
earnings, minimum tangible net worth and certain financial ratios. The
quarterly Minimum Earnings requirement is $1.00; the Tangible Net Worth
requirement is $5,500,000; the Current Ratio is 1.20:1.00; the Debt to Tangible
Net Worth Ratio is 2.00:1.00 and the Cash Flow Coverage Ratio is 1.50:1.00. At
December 31, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Earnings
requirement and the Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio but obtained a waiver from
the financial institution. The bank waiver was temporary and expired on January
1, 1997; however, to the best of the Company's knowledge and belief, it is
currently in compliance with all covenants. In the event that at any future
time the Company is not in compliance with such covenants, the financial
institution will be able to declare the Company in default and to exercise its
rights as a secured party. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition ad Results of Operations and Results of Operations --
Liquidity and Capital Resources."
In addition, the line of credit also contains negative covenants
requiring, among other provisions, the consent for the disposition of assets,
acquisition or merger of any business, guaranty of any third party obligations,
capital restructure, and any other distributions or payment of any dividends in
cash or in stock.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
maintain compliance with applicable covenants under the line of credit and term
loan facility in the future.
DEPENDENCE UPON MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The largest customers of Touche and TEI are Lam Research Corporation,
Tandem Computers Incorporated and Hewlett-Packard Company. Sales to these
customers accounted for 28%, 24% and 13%, respectively, of the combined
revenues of Touche and TEI for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The contracts relating to these sales are terminable upon short notice
and none of these customers is obligated to continue to use Touche or TEI
product services at all or at existing prices. In addition, these customers
could demand price concessions from Touche and/or TEI which could adversely
affect profits and profit margins. The termination by these customers of their
relationship with Touche and/or TEI or a substantial decrease in prices paid by
these customers would have a material adverse effect upon the business,
properties, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the
Company.
The dependence on major customers subjects Touche and TEI to
significant financial risk in the operation of their business should a major
customer terminate, for any reason, its business relationship with Touche or
TEI. In such an event, the financial condition of the Company may be adversely
affected and the Company may be required to obtain additional financing, of
which there is no assurance.
The continuing ability of Touche and TEI to maintain these customer
relationships and to build new relationships is dependent, among other things,
upon their ability to maintain the high quality standards demanded by their
customers. See "Business--Major Customers."

DEPENDENCE UPON THE SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING MARKET
The Company's business depends exclusively upon contracts and orders
from original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). These OEMs manufacture
computers, telecommunications equipment and test and medical equipment. The
OEMs sell their products to semiconductor manufacturers for use during product
testing and for use in semiconductor related products that are produced for
sale on the wholesale and retail levels. Accordingly, any material change in
the semiconductor manufacturing market could have a material effect on the
Company's results. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition ad Results of Operations" and "Business."
RISK OF INVENTORY OBSOLESCENCE
The products manufactured by the original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) which are serviced by the Company are being upgraded and enhanced on a
continuous basis by these OEMs. As a result of this process, the inventory
maintained by the Company may become obsolescent. Such obsolescence may cause
the Company to have excess supplies of unusable inventory which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business."
IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
An investor in this offering will experience immediate and substantial
dilution of $2.07 (37.6%) per share. Prior to the offering, the Company had a
net tangible book value of $7,451,962 or $2.07 per share, derived from the
Company's September 30, 1997 combined balance sheet and based upon 3,596,332
shares being outstanding as of that date. After projecting the effect of the
possible sale of the shares offered hereby at an assumed offering price of
$5.50 per share and after deducting warrant solicitation fees and estimated
offering expenses, pro forma net tangible book value would have been
$21,515,122 or $3.43 per share. The result will be an immediate increase in net
tangible book value per share of $1.36 to existing shareholders and an
immediate dilution to new investors of $2.07 per share.
See "Dilution."
LITIGATION INVOLVING MARKET MAKER
Although Biltmore Securities, Inc. ("Biltmore") is not the sole market
maker in the Company's securities, from time to time it may be the dominant
market maker in such securities. For each of the three months ended September
30, 1997, the number of the Company's shares traded by Biltmore as a percentage
of the total number of the Company's shares traded was 85%, 67% and 67%,
respectively. Biltmore is involved in litigation which may adversely affect its
ability to make a market in the Company's securities.
The Company has been advised by Biltmore that on or about May 22,
1995, Biltmore and Elliott Loewenstern and Richard Bronson, principals of
Biltmore, and the Commission agreed to an offer of settlement (the "Offer
of Settlement") in connection with a complaint filed by the Commission
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida
alleging violations of the federal securities laws, Section 17(a) of
the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) and 15(c) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, and Rules 10b-5, 10b-6 and 15c1-2 promulgated thereunder. The
complaint also alleged that in connection with the sale of securities in three
(3) IPOs in 1992 and 1993, Biltmore engaged in fraudulent sales practices. The
proposed Offer of Settlement was consented to by Biltmore and
-11-
<PAGE>
Messrs. Loewenstern and Bronson without admitting or denying the allegations
of the complaint. The Offer of Settlement was approved by Judge Gonzales on
June 6, 1995. Pursuant to the final judgment (the "Final Judgment"), Biltmore:
o was required to disgorge $1,000,000 to the Commission, which
amount was paid in four (4) equal installments on or before
June 22, 1995;
o agreed to the appointment of an independent consultant
("Consultant").
Such Consultant was obligated, on or about November 1, 1996 (or at such later
date as may be extended by the Consultant without court approval):
o to review Biltmore's policies, practices and procedures in
six (6) areas relating to compliance and sales practices;
o to formulate policies, practices and procedures for Biltmore
that the Consultant deems necessary with respect to
Biltmore's compliance and sales practices;
o to prepare a report devoted to and which details the
aforementioned policies, practices and procedures (the
"Report");
o to deliver the Report to the President of Biltmore and to the
staff of the Southeast Regional office of the Commission;
o to prepare, if necessary, a supervisory procedures and
compliance manual for Biltmore, or to amend Biltmore's
existing manual; and
o to formulate policies, practices and procedures designed to
provide mandatory on-going training to all existing and newly
hired employees of Biltmore. The Final Judgment further
provides that, within thirty (30) days of Biltmore's receipt
of the Report, unless such time is extended, Biltmore shall
adopt, implement and maintain any and all policies, practices
and procedures set forth in the Report.
On or about December 19, 1996, the Consultant completed the Report
which was thereafter delivered to Biltmore. The Report addresses the areas
relating to compliance and sales practices referred to above. Biltmore is
reviewing the Report and undertaking steps to implement the recommendations and
procedures in the Report, in accordance with the provisions of the Final
Judgment.
The Final Judgment also provides that an independent auditor
("Auditor") shall conduct four (4) special reviews of Biltmore's policies,
practices and procedures, the first such review to take place six (6) months
after the Report has been delivered to Biltmore and thereafter at six-month
intervals. The Auditor is also authorized to conduct a review, on a random
basis and without notice to Biltmore, to certify that any persons associated
with Biltmore who have been suspended or barred by any Commission order are
complying with the terms of such orders.
On July 10, 1995, the action as against Messrs. Loewenstern and
Bronson was dismissed with prejudice. Mr. Bronson has agreed to a suspension
from associating in any supervisory capacity with
-12-
<PAGE>
any broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, investment advisor or
investment company for a period of twelve (12) months, dating from the
beginning of such suspension. Mr. Loewenstern has agreed to a suspension from
associating in any supervisory capacity with any broker, dealer, municipal
securities dealer, investment advisor or investment company for a period of
twelve (12) months commencing upon the expiration of Mr. Bronson's suspension.
Both suspensions have been completed.
In the event that the requirements of the foregoing judgment adversely
affect Biltmore's ability to act as a market maker for the Company's stock, and
additional brokers do not make a market in the Company's securities, the market
for and liquidity of the Company's securities may be adversely affected. In the
event that other broker dealers fail to make a market in the Company's
securities, the possibility exists that the market for and the liquidity of the
Company's securities may be adversely affected to such an extent that public
security holders may not have anyone to purchase their securities when offered
for sale at any price. In such event, the market for, liquidity and prices of
the Company's securities may not exist. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING
BILTMORE, INVESTORS MAY CALL THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES DEALERS,
INC. AT (800) 289-9999.
Recent State Action Involving Biltmore -- Possible Loss of Liquidity
The State of Indiana commenced an action seeking, among other things,
to revoke Biltmore's license to do business in such state. The complaint
alleged that Biltmore offered and/or sold securities that were neither
registered nor exempt, engaged in dishonest or unethical practices in the
securities business, failed to reasonably supervise its agents and violated the
antifraud provisions of the Indiana Securities Act. The action was settled
without any admission, finding or judgment against Biltmore of any violation of
the Indiana Securities Act and the Biltmore agreed to, among other things,
resolve certain customer claims, the payment of a fine and costs and
restrictions with respect to the sale of securities to Indiana residents.
Specifically, Biltmore agreed that it will not sell any securities to Indiana
residents (i) which are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American
Stock Exchange or Nasdaq; (ii) for which Biltmore has served as lead
underwriter or as a member of the selling syndicate; or (iii) for which
Biltmore is a market maker. Under the terms of the settlement agreement,
Biltmore continues to maintain its license in the State of Indiana. The Company
does not intend to seek qualification for the sale of securities in the State
of Indiana.
On July 18, 1997, the State of Arkansas, Securities Department issued
a consent order in lieu of the filing of a compliant as settlement of all
claims against Biltmore Securities and Elliot A. Loewenstern. The claims
related to certain practices constituting violations of the Arkansas Securities
Act including promising customers price appreciation, failing to disclose
negative information regarding stocks, representing that they know of "inside
information" and using high pressure sales tactics during the period February
1992 to October 1993. Biltmore and Mr. Loewenstern consented to the entry of
the order without admitting or denying any wrongdoing or violation. The consent
order censured Biltmore Securities and Elliott A. Loewenstern and required that
they pay the amount of $25,000 for costs and expenses relating to the
proceedings. The consent order also required that Biltmore deliver to the
Commissioner of Securities a copy of the final report prepared by the
independent consultant. All terms of the consent order have been fully complied
with.
On September 10, 1997, the State of California issued a Notice of
Intention to Issue Order Revoking Biltmore's Broker-Dealer Certificate. The
accusations allege that it is appropriate for Biltmore's broker-dealer license
to be revoked in the public interest as a result of Biltmore being subject to
enforcement orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Arkansas Securities
-13-
<PAGE>
Department and the Indiana Securities Division. Biltmore intends to request
a hearing and contest the accusation. Such proceeding, if ultimately
successful may adversely affect the market for and liquidity of the
Company's securities if additional broker-dealers do not make a market
in the Company's securities.
According to the records of the Central Registration Depository
maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers Regulation, Inc.
("NASDR"), Messrs. Loewenstern and Bronson, the principals of Biltmore, have 46
and 44 recorded incidents respectively, some of which are disciplinary
complaints.
POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
The Company intends to fund its operations and other capital needs for
the next twelve (12) months substantially from operations, but there can be no
assurance that such funds will be sufficient for these purposes. The Company
may require substantial amounts for its future expansion, operating costs and
working capital. There can be no assurance that such financing will be
available, or that it will be available on acceptable terms. In addition, any
additional financing may be on terms which may cause current shareholders of
the Company to suffer significant dilution. See "Use of Proceeds."
DEPENDENCE ON MANAGEMENT
The Company's business is principally dependent on certain key
management personnel for the operation of its business. In particular, Rolando
Loera has played the primary role in the promotion, development and management
of the Company. The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Loera
on March 5, 1996 for a period of five years, with an automatic five year
extension in the absence of notice to the contrary from either party. In
addition, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Anthony
Magnone, the President of Enterprise Industries, Inc. on January 1, 1997 for a
period of five years. If the employment by the Company of either Mr. Loera or
Mr. Magnone terminates, or if either Mr. Loera or Mr. Magnone becomes unable to
perform his duties, the Company may be adversely affected. The Company has
obtained key-man life insurance on Mr. Loera in the amount of $1 million. The
Company will be the owner and beneficiary of the insurance policy.
See "Use of Proceeds," "Business" and "Management."
SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION
The Company encounters substantial competition from domestic
businesses. Nearly all of such entities have substantially greater financial
resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than the Company
and, consequently, the Company may be at a substantial competitive disadvantage
in the conduct of its business. See "Business -- Competition."
NO ASSURANCES THAT RECENT ACQUISITIONS WILL BE PROFITABLE
The Company has recently acquired a wire cable and harness
manufacturing business, a metal stamping business and an electronic parts
distributor. No assurances can be made that any of the combinations will be
successful. In addition, subsequent to the purchase of Pen Interconnect, Inc.
("PII"), the wire cable and harness manufacturing business acquisition, a
dispute arose with respect to the valuation of certain assets acquired in the
purchase. The dispute was resolved through an agreement
-14-
<PAGE>
entered into between the Company and PII. See "Business" and "Legal
Proceedings."
POSSIBLE UNSPECIFIED FUTURE ACQUISITIONS
In the event that any of the Warrants are exercised, the Company may
use the bulk of any such proceeds for future acquisitions; however, no
assurances can be made that such funds will enable the Company to expand its
base or realize profitable consolidated operations. The Company is currently
considering acquiring a number of companies, including a manufacturing and
assembling company, based in Santa Clara county. No affiliate of the
Company will receive any payment in connection with these possible acquisitions.
In the event of the exercise of the Warrants, Biltmore Securities, Inc.
will be entitled, subject to certain conditions to a 4% Warrant Solicitation
Fee. In addition, Biltmore Securities, Inc. may be entitled to a fee in the
event that the Company acquires a business introduced to the Company by
Biltmore. None of the businesses acquired by the Company to date have been
introduced by Biltmore. There can be no assurance that this potential
acquisition or any other acquisition will be successfully completed.
In addition, the Company's shareholders may not have the opportunity to review
the financial statements of any of the companies that may be acquired or have
the opportunity to vote on any proposed acquisitions. Should such funds not be
utilized in its acquisitions activities, the Company intends to utilize any
proceeds for working capital purposes. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Business."
BROAD DISCRETION IN APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
The management of the Company has broad discretion to allocate 100% of
the net proceeds of this offering in order to address changed circumstances and
opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, the success of the Company will be
substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the management of
the Company with respect to the application and allocation of the net proceeds
hereof. Pending use of such proceeds, any proceeds of this offering will be
invested by the Company in temporary, short-term interest-bearing obligations.
See "Use of Proceeds," "Business" and "Management."
VOTING CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT; POTENTIAL ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT
Assuming none of the Warrants are exercised, the officers, directors
and principal stockholders of the Company beneficially own approximately 32.23%
of the Company's Common Stock. Accordingly, such persons may, with the votes of
the holders of an additional 17.77% of the Company's Common Stock, be able to
approve major corporate transactions including amending the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company or the sale of substantially all of the Company's
assets, and may be able to elect all of the directors of the Company and to
control the Company's affairs. This voting control may have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company and may adversely
affect the rights of the holders of the shares of Common Stock of the Company.
In addition, the Company is subject to a State of Delaware statute regulating
business combinations which may also hinder or delay a change of control. See
"Management" and "Principal Stockholders."
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ON THE PART OF CERTAIN EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF
THE COMPANY
In addition to acting as Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, Rolando Loera is also the sole owner of Touche
Properties, Inc. ("TPI"), a real estate company which owns and leases the real
property located at 1881-1899 Dobbin Drive (the "Property") to TEI and Touche,
two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The rent payments made by TEI and
Touche to TPI amounted to approximately $576,144, $477,640 and $479,307 in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. In addition, TPI has a loan in the amount of
$1,000,000 on the Property, and TEI and
-15-
<PAGE>
Touche have guaranteed the satisfaction of TPI's obligations under this
loan. See "Certain Transactions." There are no other potential conflicts
of interest relating to any of the other executive officers of the Company.
BENEFITS TO INSIDERS FROM PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING
There are currently no plans, agreements, arrangements or
understandings whereby the officers or directors of the Company would benefit
from the proceeds of this Offering.
SUBSTANTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
Substantial environmental laws have been enacted in the United States
and California in response to public concern over environmental deterioration.
These laws and the implementing regulations affect nearly every activity of the
Company. The principal federal legislation which has the most significant
effect on the Company's business includes the following: The Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; The Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act; The Clean Air Act; The Safe Drinking Water Act;
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act; The Clean Water Act and
The Toxic Substance Control Act. Failure by the Company to comply with
applicable federal and state environmental regulations could result in the
Company incurring substantial fines and penalties and/or having restraining
orders issued against it. To the best of the Company's knowledge and belief,
its operations are not currently in violation of any governmental regulatory
requirements nor is it expected or anticipated that any fines, penalties, or
assessments will be imposed or required to satisfy any violation. See "Business
- - Regulation."
LIMITATION ON DIRECTOR LIABILITY
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to the Company
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary
duty, except for liability in four specific instances. These are for (i) any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders,
(ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock purchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. As a result of the Company's
charter provision and Delaware law, stockholders may have more limited rights
to recover against directors for breach of fiduciary duty than as existing
prior to the enactment of the laws. See "Management - Limitation on Liability
of Directors."
NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY CAN MAINTAIN A CURRENT REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND
QUALIFY FOR SALE UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
The Company will be able to issue shares of its Common Stock upon the
exercise of the Warrants and the Unit Purchase Option only if (i) there is a
current prospectus relating to the securities offered hereby under an
effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and (ii) such Common Stock is then qualified for sale or
exempt therefrom under applicable state securities laws of the jurisdictions in
which the various holders of Warrants reside. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company will be successful in maintaining a current
registration statement. After a registration statement or post-effective
amendment thereto becomes effective, it may require updating by the filing of
one or more post-effective amendments. A post-effective amendment is required
(i) anytime
-16-
<PAGE>
after nine (9) months subsequent to the effective date of the
registration statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto when any
information contained in the prospectus is over sixteen (16) months old; (ii)
when facts or events have occurred which represent a fundamental change in the
information contained in the registration statement; or (iii) when any material
change occurs in the information relating to the plan or distribution of the
securities registered by such registration statement. The Company intends to
qualify the sale of the Common Stock in a limited number of states, although
certain exemptions under certain state securities ("Blue Sky") laws may permit
the Warrants to be transferred to purchasers in states other than those in
which the Warrants were initially qualified. The Company will be prevented,
however, from issuing Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants in those
states where exemptions are unavailable and the Company has failed to qualify
the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company may decide
not to seek, or may not be able to obtain qualification of the issuance of such
Common Stock in all of the states in which the ultimate purchasers of the
Warrants reside. In such a case, the Warrants of those purchasers will expire
and have no value if such warrants cannot be exercised or sold. Accordingly,
the market for the Warrants may be limited because of the Company's obligation
to fulfill both of the foregoing requirements. See "Description of Securities."
ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZED SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
MARKET
The Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of its Common
Stock, $.001 par value per share. If all of the Warrants are exercised, there
will be a total of 6,672,871 shares of Common stock issued and outstanding.
However, this number does not include the exercise of the Unit Purchase Option
granted to the underwriter in the Company's initial public offering which
represents the right to acquire 128,000 Units at $8.25 per Unit. After
reserving a total of 128,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon the
exercise of the foregoing Unit Purchase Option, and 128,000 shares of Common
Stock for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants included in said Unit Purchase
Option and 100,000 shares for issuance upon the exercise of other options, the
Company will have 17,971,129 shares of authorized but unissued capital stock
available for issuance without further shareholder approval. As a result, any
issuance of additional shares of common stock may cause current shareholders of
the Company to suffer significant dilution which may adversely affect the
market. See "Dilution" and "Description of Securities."
WARRANTS SUBJECT TO REDEMPTION
The Warrants became exercisable commencing March 5, 1997. Each Class A
Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at $5.50 per
share during the four year period commencing March 5, 1997. The Class A
Warrants are redeemable by the Company for $.01 per Warrant, at any time after
March 5, 1997, upon thirty (30) days' prior notice, if the average closing
price or bid price of the Common Stock, as reported by the Nasdaq equals or
exceeds $8.75 per share, for any twenty (20) consecutive trading days within a
period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending within five (5) days
prior to the date of the notice of redemption. Upon thirty (30) days' written
notice to all holders of the Class A Warrants, the Company shall have the right
to reduce the exercise price and/or extend the term of the Class A Warrants
in compliance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 to the extent applicable.
See "Description of Securities."
-17-
<PAGE>
MARKET MAKER'S INFLUENCE ON THE MARKET MAY HAVE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES
Although it has no legal obligation to do so, Biltmore from time to
time in the future may make a market in and otherwise effect transactions in
the Company's securities. To the extent Biltmore acts as market maker in the
securities, it may be a dominating influence in that market. The price and
liquidity of such securities may be affected by the degree, if any, of
Biltmore's participation in the market, inasmuch as a significant amount of
such securities may be sold to customers of Biltmore. Such customers
subsequently may engage in transactions for the sale or purchase of such
securities through or with Biltmore. Such market making activities, if
commenced, may be discontinued at any time or from time to time by Biltmore
without obligation or prior notice. If a dominating influence at such time,
Biltmore's discontinuance may adversely affect the price and liquidity of the
securities.
To the extent that Biltmore solicits the exercise of the Warrants,
Biltmore may be prohibited pursuant to the requirements of Regulation M
under the Exchange Act from engaging in market-making activities during such
solicitation and for a period of up to five days preceding such solicitation.
As a result, Biltmore may be unable to continue to provide a market for the
Company's securities during certain periods while the Warrants are exercisable.
See "Description of Securities."
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS MAY HAVE DILUTIVE EFFECT ON MARKET
The Class A Warrants to be issued in connection with this offering
will provide, during their term, an opportunity for the holder to profit from a
rise in the market price, of which there is no assurance, with resulting
dilution in the ownership interest in the Company held by the then present
shareholders. Holders of the Warrants most likely would exercise the Warrants
and purchase the underlying Common Stock at a time when the Company may be able
to obtain capital by a new offering of securities on terms more favorable than
those provided by such Warrants, in which event the terms on which the Company
may be able to obtain additional capital would be affected adversely. See
"Description of Securities."
"PENNY STOCK" REGULATIONS MAY IMPOSE CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY OF
SECURITIES
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") has adopted
regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that
has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price
of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The Company's
securities are currently exempt from the definition of "penny stock" based upon
their being listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. If the Company's securities
are removed from listing on Nasdaq at any time they may become subject to rules
that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell
such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors (generally, those person with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or
annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For
transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special
suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received
the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.
Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure
document mandated by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The
broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the
broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed
control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing
recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
-18-
<PAGE>
information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny
stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's
securities and may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell
the Company's securities in the secondary market.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET
Certain of the Company's currently outstanding shares of common stock
are "restricted securities" and, in the future, may be sold upon compliance
with Rule 144, adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Rule 144
provides, in essence, that a person holding "restricted securities" for a
period of one year may sell only an amount every three months equal to the
greater of (a) one percent of the Company's issued and outstanding shares, or
(b) the average weekly volume of sales during the four calendar weeks preceding
the sale. The amount of "restricted securities" which a person who is not an
affiliate of the Company may sell is not so limited, since non-affiliates may
sell without volume limitation their shares held for two years if there is
adequate current public information available concerning the Company. Assuming
that there is no exercise of any issued and outstanding Warrants, the Company
will have 4,000,871 shares of its Common Stock issued and outstanding, of which
1,628,871 shares are "restricted securities" and 2,372,000 are publicly traded
shares. Therefore, during each three month period, a holder of restricted
securities who has held them for at least the one year period may sell under
Rule 144 a number of shares up to 16,289 shares. Nonaffiliated persons who
hold for the two-year period described above may sell unlimited shares once
their holding period is met. Notwithstanding the above, the current officers,
directors and principal stockholders have agreed, except as noted below, not
to sell, transfer, assign or issue any securities of the Company for a period
of twenty-four (24) months ending March 5, 1998, without the consent of
Biltmore. These restrictions have been released by Biltmore with respect to a
portion of such securities. The Company has also agreed not to issue any
additional securities other than as contemplated by this Prospectus for a
period of twenty-four (24) months without the consent of Biltmore.
Prospective investors should be aware that the possibility of sales
may, in the future, have a depressive effect on the price of the Company's
Common Stock in any market which may develop and, therefore, the ability of any
investor to market his shares may be dependent directly upon the number of
shares that are offered and sold. Affiliates of the Company may sell their
shares during a favorable movement in the market price of the Company's Common
Stock which may have a depressive effect on its price per share. See
"Description of Securities."

USE OF PROCEEDS
There can be no assurance that any of the Warrants will be exercised.
In the event holders of Warrants elect to exercise the Warrants, Management
anticipates that the net proceeds from such exercise, estimated to be
$14,108,160 if all Warrants are exercised, would be contributed to working
capital of the Company. Nonetheless, the Company may at the time of exercise
allocate a portion of the proceeds to any other corporate purposes, including
the financing of possible future acquisitions. The Company is currently
considering acquiring a number of companies including a manufacturing and
assembling company, based in Santa Clara county. Although the Company currently
has no plans to allocate the proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants to such
acquisition, there can be no assurance that the funds will not be allocated to
such acquisition or to other, as yet unspecified, acquisitions in the future.
Accordingly, investors who exercise their Warrants will entrust their funds
to management, whose specific intentions regarding the use of such funds
are not presently and specifically known. See "RISK FACTORS--Possible Future
Acquisitions."
DILUTION
As of September 30, 1997, the Company had a net tangible book value of
$7,451,962(1), or $2.07 per share (based on the Company having 3,596,332 shares
outstanding as of that date), derived from the Company's balance sheet as of
that date. Net tangible book value per share means the tangible assets of the
Company, less all liabilities, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. After giving effect to the exercise of the Warrants at a price of
$5.50 per share, after deducting warrant solicitation fees and estimated
offering expenses, pro forma net tangible book value would have been
$21,515,122, or $3.43 per share. The result will be an immediate increase in
net tangible book value per share of $1.36 to existing shareholders and an
immediate dilution to new investors of $2.07 (37.6%) per share. "Dilution" is
determined by subtracting net tangible book value per share after the offering
from the offering price to investors. The following table illustrates this
dilution:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
On March 5, 1996, the Company acquired Touche and TEI pursuant to
certain Stock Purchase Agreements executed on December 28, 1995. Prior to that
time, the Company's operations consisted of forming the Company, preparing for
the acquisition of Touche and TEI, as well as preparing for the initial public
offering of its securities discussed below.
In the first quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company made a limited
investment to start two new divisions at TEI: the Wire and Cable Manufacturing
division and the Clean Room Assembly division. These divisions will produce
basic cable products and will provide clean-room assembly capabilities for
specialized products for their customers, respectively. The Company's strategy
has been to expand its core and value added business by increasing its product
offerings to satisfy its customers' needs and their growing demand for more
outsourcing of contract manufacturing services. In November 1996, TEI acquired
the wire cable and harness manufacturing division of Pen Interconnect, Inc. In
January 1997, the Company acquired Enterprise Industries, Inc. a metal stamping
business. See "Business."
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED
WITH 1996
The results of operations utilizes the consolidated results from TMCI
Electronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). The
discussion below should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto, that appear elsewhere in this report.
Net Sales
The Company's net sales increased approximately $5,482,200 or 104% to
$10,728,640 from $5,246,434 in the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, as
compared with the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. The growth in third
quarter sales was due primarily to a significant increase in existing as well
as new customer orders, and in part to new product services provided by the two
business acquisitions. As a percentage of sales, the Company's semiconductor,
computer, medical and telecommunications equipment market sales were less
concentrated, representing approximately 43%, 42%, 10% and 5%, respectively, in
the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, as compared with 28%, 59%, 8% and
5%, respectively, in the third quarter ended September 30, 1996.
In contrast, the Company's net sales increased approximately
$7,276,500 or 36% to $27,773,034 from $20,496,567 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997, as compared with the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996. The results continue to reflect significant growth and
continuing diversity of operations through the acquisition of the wire cable
and metal stamping manufacturing businesses as new product services continue to
be introduced and added to consolidated operations. During the third quarter,
the Company received a significant order from a medical equipment manufacturer.

<PAGE>
Gross Profit
The Company's gross profit increased approximately $1,846,900 or 85%
to $4,014,741 from $2,167,860 in the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, as
compared with the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. However, as a
percentage of sales, the Company's gross profit decreased approximately 4% to
37% from 41% in the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, as compared with
the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in gross profit, as a
percentage of sales, was primarily due to rescheduled delivery dates of one of
the Company's customer product lines, which resulted in the increase and
maintenance of a slightly higher inventory level during the third quarter ended
September 30, 1997. In contrast, the Company's gross profit increased
approximately $3,201,700 or 46% to $10,200,461 from $6,998,727 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997, as compared with the nine month period
ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased
approximately 3% to 37% from 34% for the nine month period ended September 30,
1997, as compared with the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. The nine
month period increase in gross profit is primarily due to production yields and
labor efficiencies, and the acquisition of wire cable and metal stamping
businesses which have allowed the Company to reduce material costs and to
tighten controls on costs, which it has been able to achieve through the
successful acquisition and integration of the wire cable and stamping
manufacturing businesses into its operations.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $977,300
or 51% to $2,899,896 from $1,922,557 in the third quarter ended September 30,
1997, as compared with the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. As a
percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses decreased
approximately 10% to 27% from 37% for the third quarter ended September 30,
1997, as compared with the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, which is in
line with improving and maintaining departmental efficiencies in the third
quarter ended September 30, 1997, as compared with the third quarter ended
September 30, 1996.
In contrast, the Company's general and administrative expenses
increased approximately $2,065,500 or 36% to $7,865,808 from $5,800,330 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1997, as compared with the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of sales, the Company's
general and administrative expenses remained unchanged at 28% for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997, as compared with the nine month period
ended September 30, 1996. The stability of this percentage for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1997, was primarily attributable to third quarter
increase in sales, which offset the increases in personnel, building rental
costs, repairs and maintenance, promotions and increases in management
positions and other related business operations.
Interest Expense
The Company's interest expense for the third quarter ended September
30, 1997 was approximately $184,900, representing an increase of approximately
$138,400 over the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. In contrast, interest
expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 was approximately
$419,100, representing an increase of approximately $172,400 from the nine
month period ended September 30, 1996. The Company's interest expense increased
during the third quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 1997, due to
an increase in short term cash requirements
-23-
<PAGE>
which resulted in increased bank borrowings in the third quarter and nine month
period ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the third quarter and nine
month period ended September 30, 1996.
Other Income [Expense]
The Company's other expenses increased approximately $134,700 to
$152,623 from $17,916 in the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, as
compared with the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. The increase was
primarily due to a net decrease of approximately $1,700 on the sale of
equipment, a net decrease of approximately $25,600 in interest income, and a
net increase of approximately $138,400 in interest expenses recognized, offset
by a net increase of approximately $31,000 in other income. In contrast, the
Company's other expenses decreased approximately $247,000 to $(231,282) from
$(478,291) in the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, as compared with
the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in other expenses
was primarily due to a net decrease of approximately $462,100 in a one-time
financing charge on certain bridge loans that were incurred by the Company in
the first quarter of 1996, and a net increase of approximately $146,800 in
other income, primarily due to interest and rental income, and one time refunds
from utilities, and Workmens' Compensation, a net increase of approximately
$172,400 in interest expense, offset by a net decrease of approximately
$138,200 on the sale of equipment, and a net decrease of approximately $53,600
in interest income recognized in the nine month period ended September 30,
1996.
Net Income
Net income increased approximately $434,900 or 252% to $607,671 from
$172,741 in the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, as compared with the
third quarter ended September 30, 1996. The third quarter increase in net
income was primarily due to: (1) a net increase in income from operations of
approximately $896,500, and (2) offset by a net increase in other expenses of
approximately $134,700, and a net increase in the provision for income taxes of
approximately $299,900. In contrast, the Company's net income increased
approximately $845,100 or 182% to $1,310,457 from $465,370 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1997, as compared with the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996.
The nine month period increase in net income was due primarily to: (1)
a net increase in income from operations of approximately $1,136,300, and (2) a
net decrease in other expenses of approximately $247,000, offset by a net
increase in the provision for income taxes of approximately $548,200.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has a long-term revolving line of credit with
Manufacturers Bank ("Mfrs."), which was renewed on June 1, 1997 for an
additional year, and bears interest at Mfrs.' base rate plus 1/4%. This
facility, which has been increased by $1,100,000, allows the Company to borrow
up to $5,500,000 based on a stipulated percentage of contractually defined
eligible trade accounts receivable. The Company had approximately $3,205,000 in
outstanding borrowings under the line of credit as of September 30, 1997. In
addition, the Company and Mfrs. have agreed to a term loan facility of up to
$5,500,000 available for equipment purchases, which will bear interest at
Mfrs.' base fixed rate of 8.75% per annum. There were approximately $4,214,800
outstanding borrowings under this facility as of September 30, 1997, with a
remaining availability of approximately $1,285,200 under the equipment line and
approximately $2,295,000 under the revolving line of credit at September 30,
1997.

The Company's working capital increased by approximately $2,053,500
from $4,036,532 to $6,089,998 in the nine month period ended September 30,
1997. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in accounts receivable
of approximately $2,733,300, an increase in inventory of approximately
$2,768,000, an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $263,300, an
increase in notes receivable of approximately $193,500, offset by an increase
in accounts payable of approximately $915,800, an increase in short-term bank
borrowings of approximately $2,620,000, and a decrease in cash of approximately
$33,800. The high level of accounts receivable at September 30, 1997 as
compared to December 31, 1996, is due primarily to a significant increase in
revenues in the six months ended September 30, 1997.
The Company required cash to fund operating activities of
approximately ($1,825,600) in the nine month period ended September 30, 1997,
as compared to required cash to fund operating activities of approximately
($375,500) in the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. Additional cash
was required to pay for inventory buildup, a reduction in accounts payable, and
an increase in prepaid expenses. The increase in operating activities is
primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable as a result of the overall
growth in sales as compared to the prior period, an increase in inventory as a
result of an increase in volume of sales, offset by a rise in accounts payable
and accrued expenses as a result of increased purchases in the current period
as compared to the prior period. Cash used in investing and financing
activities, includes the purchase of equipment, debt reduction, acquisition of
Enterprise Industries, Inc., note payable proceeds, bank short-term borrowings,
repayment of bridge note payable, and an increase in third party loans, was
approximately $1,791,800 and $1,821,100 in the nine months ended September 30,
1997 and September 30, 1996, respectively.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 and September
30, 1996, the Company spent approximately $488,600 and $321,700, respectively,
to purchase capital equipment which was funded through long-term borrowings and
current operations. Additionally, management expects the Company's level of
future capital expenditures to increase at a level that is consistent with the
Company's projected growth and operations. Management has projected capital
expenditure requirements of approximately $2,000,000 for the calendar year
ending December 31, 1997. This increase will be supported by increased bank
borrowings and internal operations.
Management believes that its current financial position, together with
the available borrowings under the Company's available borrowings under its
various short and long-term credit facilities will be sufficient to meet the
Company's anticipated operating needs and projected capital expenditure
requirements through the year ending December 31, 1997.

Revenue decreased approximately $1,950,100 or 7% to $26,139,828 from
$28,089,919 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as compared with the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The decline in revenue was due primarily
to significant order cancellations and rescheduling of orders by one of the
Company's major customers, which resulted from (1) a change in local market
conditions, and (2) a general slowdown in the semiconductor manufacturing
marketplace which also impacted the industry as a whole. The Company believes
that while current market trends are showing signs of significant improvement,
through increased backlog orders, new contracts, and new customers there can be
no future assurance that the economy and industry will continue to be strong or
that OEMs will continue increasing their outsourcing to contracting
manufacturers such as the Company.
The information technology industry continues to place greater demands
on the products produced by Touche's and TEI's customers. In turn, these
demands have placed greater demands on enclosure
-26-
<PAGE>
manufacturing, value-added assembly, and cable and harness manufacturing and
installation services provided by the Company. Furthermore, diversity in the
manufacturing processes, through vertical integration into value-added assembly
and cable and harness manufacturing and installation elements of the business,
continues to provide the Company with the ability to grow and to capitalize on
new business opportunities that were not previously available.
Inasmuch as the Company's three largest customers accounted for
approximately 65% of revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, with
the largest accounting for 28% of such revenues, the disruption or loss of any
one or a significant amount of their business as a customer could have a
material adverse impact on the total revenues of the Company.
Gross profit increased approximately $940,327 or 12% to $9,047,597
from $8,107,270 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. As a percentage of sales, gross profit
increased approximately 6% to 35% from 29% for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1996, as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The increase
is primarily due to adjustments in operations and efficiencies which continue
to play a major role in the Company's growth and general operation. However,
the Company's gross profit margin may be materially impacted by the diversity
of its operations which are constantly modified in order to meet the changing
growth demands of the competitive market bidding processes with its customers.
In addition, the Company believes that its expansion into the manufacture of
wire cable and harness assemblies will enable it to lower its production costs
to more competitive and acceptable industry levels. The Company's further
expansion into metal stamping is also expected to reduce costs. However, the
Company's gross profit margins may also be materially impacted by the pricing
of product services which is directly affected by increases in direct labor and
material cost.
Operating expenses increased approximately $2,137,701 or 33% to
$8,522,647 from $6,384,946 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as
compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. This increase was
primarily due to two factors: (1) an investment in infrastructure to support
planned growth, including two new operating divisions, plus the acquisition of
the San Jose Division of Pen Interconnect, Inc., which included (2) additional
personnel, building rent costs, repairs, professional fees, promotions of
certain engineers to management positions and other related items.
Interest expense decreased approximately $292,200 or 47% to $323,679
from $615,881 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. Interest expense decreased during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 due to a substantial reduction in
outstanding long term debt, capital lease obligations, and bank borrowings, as
compared to December 31, 1995.
Income tax expense declined primarily due to the decrease in taxable
income as well as the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards. Pro
forma income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 gives effect to
the loss of the S corporation on a combined basis prior to March 5, 1996.
Income before income taxes decreased approximately $840,300 or 83% to
$167,336 from $1,007,616 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as
compared with the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The decline in income
before taxes was primarily due to a substantial increase in the Company's
operating expenses (as discussed above) which increased 33% for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996 over the prior fiscal year.
-27-
<PAGE>
Net Income after taxes decreased by approximately $325,100 or 69% to
$148,337 from $473,416 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as compared
to the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The decrease was primarily due to
two factors: (1) an increase in financing charges of $174,244 on certain bridge
loans that were made by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1995 to help fund
its initial public offering, and (2) increased operating expenses incurred to
fund two new divisions which produced nominal income during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has a long-term revolving line of credit with
Manufacturers Bank ("Mfrs."), which as of December 31, 1996, had an interest
rate of Mfrs.' base rate plus 1/2% and permitted the Company to borrow up to
$4,000,000 based on a stipulated percentage of contractually defined eligible
trade accounts receivable. The Company had $585,000 in outstanding borrowings
under the line of credit; the unused portion of the line of credit was
$3,415,000 as of December 31, 1996. The Company was in default of certain
covenants at December 31, 1996 in which it received a waiver from its bank (See
Note 10 to Notes to Financial Statements). The loan agreement was renewed on
May 1, 1997 and Management renegotiated the agreement and its underlying
covenants to the benefit of the Company. In addition, the Company and Mfrs.
have agreed to a term facility of up to $2,500,000 available for equipment
purchase, which will bear interest at Mfrs.' base rate plus 1%. There was
approximately $1,691,700 in term debt outstanding at December 31, 1996.
On March 11, 1996, the Company closed an Initial Public Offering of
its securities resulting in new proceeds of approximately $5.7 million. The
Company used the proceeds of the offering to repay certain bridge notes and
other debt and applied the remaining proceeds to working capital and the
purchase of a business.
The Company's working capital increased by approximately $2,916,600 or
260% from $1,119,957 to $4,036,532 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996,
as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. This increase resulted
primarily from an increase in inventory of approximately $1,991,300, a decrease
in accounts payable of approximately $1,885,700, and a decrease in the line of
credit draw down of approximately $1,059,600.
The Company required cash to fund operating activities of
approximately $724,200 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as compared
to generating cash from operating activities of approximately $1,285,000 in the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. Required cash in the amount of
approximately $555,800 was provided by net operating, investing, and financing
activities, which included cash generated from normal operations, sale and
purchase of equipment, debt reduction, acquisition of a business, and proceeds
from the initial public offering in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as
compared to cash generated in the amount of approximately $685,800 for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Company's
property, plant, and equipment increased by approximately $1,533,000. During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Company spent approximately
$1,115,000 of cash to purchase capital equipment. The remainder of the 1996
expenditures have been financed through bank borrowings.
In addition, the Company spent $2,000,000 in cash to purchase the net
assets of the San Jose Division of Pen Interconnect, see "BUSINESS-Pen
Interconnect Inc.," which was utilized from the net
-28-
<PAGE>
proceeds of the Company's March 1996 initial public offering. Use of such funds
depleted available cash proceeds, however, the Company feels that its existing
balances are adequate and that the increase in cash generated as a result of
this new division as well as from its core business will compensate for the
usage of such funds.
The Company's inventory increased by approximately $1,275,000 for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995. The increase in inventory was due primarily to the Company's
need to revise its forecast downward to reflect a general slow-down of the
overall industry coupled with a revised sales forecast.
The Company's accounts receivable decreased by approximately
$1,992,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The decrease in accounts receivable was
primarily due to a significant increase in collections coupled with a decline
in related sales. Such decline was not the result of significant changes with
respect to credit terms, collection efforts or credit utilization.
Management feels that its current financial position, together with
available increased borrowings under the Company's various credit facilities
will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated needs and projected
capital assets purchase requirements for the next twelve months.
Certain statements made above relating to plans, objectives and
economic performance go beyond historical information and may provide an
indication of future results. To such extent, they are forward looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and each
is subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in
the forward looking statement. Such factors include but are not limited to, the
assumption that not material changes in general market conditions will occur
and the assumption that the Company does not incur any unanticipated
expenditures.
INFLATION
Touche and TEI have continued to experience the benefits of a low
inflation economy locally, regionally and nationally. However, Touche and TEI
enter into mostly short-term fixed price contracts and a large portion of these
contracts is labor intensive. Accordingly, the short-term contracts are less
susceptible to inflationary pressures and may have less of an impact on the
eventual profitability of the contracts.

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
TMCI Electronics, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State
of Delaware on December 7, 1995 for the purpose of acquiring the businesses of
Touche Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("Touche") and Touche Electronics, Inc.
("TEI"). The principal executive offices of the Company, Touche and TEI are
located in San Jose, California. Touche and TEI were principally owned by
Rolando Loera, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The
Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of
Touche and TEI on March 5, 1996 from Mr. Loera and all of the minority
shareholders of Touche and TEI pursuant to the terms of certain Stock Purchase
Agreements dated December 28, 1995 (the "Stock Purchase Agreements"). Following
the exchange of common stock of Touche and TEI contemplated by the Stock
Purchase Agreements, the Company's business became that of Touche and TEI.
On January 24, 1997, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of Enterprise Industries, Inc. ("EII"), a
metal stamping manufacturing business. The Company now derives its revenues
from the operation of its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Touche, TEI and
EII.
The Company provides custom manufacturing and value-added services,
respectively, to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). Its customers are
concentrated into four (4) different segments of the Information Technology
Industry and include manufacturers of mini, mainframe, micro and personal
computers, telecommunications equipment, semiconductor manufacturing test
equipment and medical test equipment. The Company does not manufacture or
produce any products that are sold to customers from inventory; all of their
products are manufactured to customer specifications and all value-added
services are performed to the specifications of the customer.
TOUCHE MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC.
Touche manufactures custom designed fabricated metal cabinets or
enclosures for OEMs that produce computers, telecommunications equipment,
semiconductor manufacturing test equipment and medical test equipment. These
products are used by the OEMs to house various types of electronic components.
Touche is a full service manufacturing facility for such products. As such,
Touche's engineering and design personnel work closely with each customer to
design and build an initial prototype of the specified cabinet or enclosure.
Based upon the actual production of the prototype, its design and
specifications are reviewed and a cost effective manufacturing process is
developed. All of the various manufacturing processes, which include metal
shearing, punching, bending and welding, as well as machining, detailing, zinc
plating, painting and final assembly are provided in-house by Touche. All of
the raw materials used to manufacture these products are readily available from
numerous suppliers at competitive prices. By controlling the various
manufacturing processes in-house, Touche is able to provide its customers
custom manufactured metal cabinets or enclosures in a timely, efficient and
cost-effective manner. The full service manufacturing capability enables Touche
to derive a competitive advantage over manufacturers that have to sub-contract
for one or more of the various manufacturing processes. All of Touche's
products are manufactured to specific customer requirements pursuant to
contracts or purchase orders with the respective customers. Approximately 75%
of Touche's manufacturing is performed on a mass production basis for metal
cabinets or enclosures, while the remaining 25% is in developing prototype
products for future development by its customers.
-30-
<PAGE>
TOUCHE ELECTRONICS, INC.
In late 1992, a number of Touche's customers expressed an interest in
identifying methods of reducing their own manufacturing costs. This desire led
the management of Touche to examine its existing manufacturing capabilities and
to consider other types of services that could be offered to its customers in
conjunction with its manufacturing of custom designed fabricated metal cabinets
or enclosures. Accordingly, in early 1993 TEI was formed as a sister company to
Touche. TEI provides value-added turnkey services to many of Touche's OEM
customers. Today, these services are primarily the installation of cable and
harness assemblies into the products manufactured by Touche and also into
enclosure products manufactured by other local enclosure manufacturers that do
not have the in-house capability to provide such services. All of TEI's
value-added turnkey services are provided pursuant to contracts or purchase
orders with its customers.
The custom manufacturing of fabricated metal cabinets or enclosures
combined with the capability to provide cable and harness assembly services
enables Touche and TEI to attract and retain customer business that they may
not have otherwise obtained, thereby enhancing their competitive position in
the marketplace.
ENTERPRISE INDUSTRIES, INC.
On January 24, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of Enterprise Industries, Inc. ("EII"), a North
Hollywood, California based metal stamping manufacturing business. The purchase
price consisted of $1,000,000 in cash, taken from the proceeds of the March
1996 offering and the issuance of 96,560 shares of the Company's Common Stock
pursuant to the terms of a certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 1,
1997. EII provides a broad array of metal stamping manufacturing service
capabilities. EII will continue to operate under its present name as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, providing services in its existing
market as well as augmenting those manufacturing and turnkey services that are
currently being offered by Touche and TEI to their respective customers. The
President of EII has signed a five (5) year employment contract with the
Company to manage EII's operations.
CUSTOMER PRODUCT SERVICES
The Company works with its customers in designing and engineering
products and in helping to develop prototypes for such products before
production manufacturing. The following processes are involved in providing
these services: shearing, bending, sheet metal, welding, machining, detailing,
zinc plating, painting and assembly. These services are currently provided to a
wide range of computer manufacturing companies, telecommunications equipment
manufacturing companies, semiconductor test equipment manufacturing companies
and medical test equipment manufacturing companies throughout the Silicon
Valley area.
The business of the Company, in providing customers with custom
designed and manufactured products or services, relates to four major market
areas:
Computer Systems. The Company's manufacturing and assembly businesses
provide a full complement of manufacturing capabilities for mini and mainframe
computers, microcomputers and personal computers. Even though this segment of
the information technology industry is being reshaped by evolutionary changes
in semiconductor design and memory capacity, the Company intends to increase
-31-
<PAGE>
its marketing efforts in these areas. However, the Company's principal focus
will remain in commercial markets.
Telecommunications Equipment. The changes in the basic structure of
the telecommunications segment of the information technology industry are
reflected in the recently adopted legislation that allows for wireless
communications and cable operators to offer telephone service over coaxial
connections to the home. The information superhighway is expected to provide
new avenues into the home. The use of coaxial cable and fiber optics will give
companies the bandwidth necessary to deliver hundreds of channels of voice,
data, and video services. Based on the changing conditions within the industry,
telecommunications equipment is forecast to continue to grow at an above
average annual rate. The Company believes that, with its present and future
manufacturing and service capabilities, it is well positioned to take on the
competitive challenges of this growing industry. Penetration of this market
segment is considered a more long term goal for the Company. Marketing
activities in this segment are directly in line with the Company's current
development of manufacturing facilities for the production of specific types of
wire and cable that is used in the computer systems segment of the information
technology industry.
Test Equipment. The Company intends to market its product
manufacturing and service capabilities in test equipment market areas. The
Company's target customers are principally large and medium-sized corporations
that specialize in the design and development of scientific measurement and
production devices that may be used by major producers in the semiconductor
industry who design and manufacture wafers that produce computer chips and the
like. The Company will continue to explore and expand new opportunities with
its customer base and look to refine the diversification of its production
capabilities in designing and manufacturing products within this market segment
as well as others.
Medical Equipment. The Company intends to continue marketing its
manufacturing and cable harness assembly services, respectively, to existing
and prospective OEMs of medical equipment. The Company targets customers with
strong track records in the design, development and production of sophisticated
medical diagnostic and analysis equipment, such as MRI equipment, which is used
in hospital and medical clinics by medical doctors to assist in their diagnoses
of otherwise very serious and complicated patient medical problems. The Company
believes that this segment of the information technology industry will grow,
offering increased opportunities to companies like Touche and TEI which are
positioned to provide cost-effective manufacturing services at competitive
prices.
PEN INTERCONNECT INC.
On November 12, 1996, TEI acquired the net assets (accounts
receivable, inventory and capital equipment) of the San Jose-based wire cable
and harness manufacturing division of Pen Interconnect Inc.
("PII").
The acquired division is a wire cable harness manufacturer, producing
different types of cable and harnesses that are used by TEI and other
subcontractors in the production or original equipment products. TEI intends to
continue such business by operating it as a division.
The consideration paid for the acquisition consisted of (a) $2.0
million in cash, taken from the proceeds of the March 1996 offering; (b) two
promissory notes in the principal amounts of $500,000 and $400,000,
respectively; and (c) 134,172 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The notes
bear interest at the prime rate plus .5% and are payable over periods of 48 and
24 months, respectively.
-32-
<PAGE>
TMCI may also be obligated to issue up to an additional 13,417 shares of Common
Stock in the event certain overdue accounts receivable are collected.
Subsequent to the closing of the foregoing acquisition, a dispute
arose concerning various aspects of the transaction. On February 14, 1997, TMCI
filed a Demand for Arbitration against PII, seeking a substantial purchase
price reduction or, in the alternative, other remedies and damages as provided
by law. On November 25, 1997, TMCI and PII entered into a letter agreement
whereby there will be no purchase price reduction and TMCI will pay PII the
full amount due under the promissory note, plus interest, in common stock of
the Company. TMCI will pay 132,000 shares of stock, valued at $984,000.
For a more detailed discussion of the dispute, see "Legal Proceedings."
TRINITY ELECTRONICS, INC.
On December 22, 1997, Trinity Electronics, Inc. ("Trinity"), a
distributor of electronic parts located in Santa Clara, California, merged with
and into TMCI/Trinity Acquisition Corp. ("TMCI/Trinity"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The effective date of the transaction was October 1,
1997. The Company paid a total of $4,290,000, consisting of a cash payment of
$1,000,000 two promissory notes in the amounts of $1,100,000 and $290,000,
respectively, and the issuance of 404,539 shares of the Company's Common Stock,
valued at $2,000,000. Neither any affiliates of the Company nor of Biltmore
Securities, Inc. received any payment in connection with the transaction.
TMCI/Trinity will operate as wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The
President and Chief Executive Officer of Trinity has signed a five (5) year
employment contract with the subsidiary to manage that company's operations.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1875
Dobbin Drive, San Jose, California 95133 and its telephone number is (408)
272-5700.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company's customers include various information technology
industry related companies, such as Hewlett Packard Company, Lam Research
Corporation, Tandem Computers Incorporated, Applied Materials, Inc., KLA
Instruments Corporation, Varian Associates, Inc. and Teradyne, Inc. For the
year ended December 31, 1996, revenues derived from three customers (Lam
Research Corporation, Tandem Computers Incorporated and Hewlett Packard
Company) amounted to approximately 28%, 24% and 13%, respectively, of total
revenue, excluding intercompany sales. For the year ended December 31, 1995,
revenue from these three customers amounted to 33%, 18% and 19%, respectively,
of total revenue, excluding intercompany sales. For the year ended December 31,
1994, revenue from these three customers amounted to approximately 29%, 26% and
13% of total revenue, excluding intercompany sales. As the sales arrangements
with these customers are terminable upon short notice, the loss of any of them
would have a material adverse impact on the Company's revenues and profits,
given the significant percentage of revenues derived from these customers. The
Company believes, however, that the expansion of services offered to these
customers through the Company's vertical expansion will contribute toward the
on-going relationship with these customers.
MANUFACTURING
The Company's engineering, production and assembly facilities have
adequate space for its current operations, and also for the planned
implementation of clean room assembly, wire cable harness
-33-
<PAGE>
manufacturing and metal stamping, and are capable of fabricating and assembling
computers, telecommunications equipment, semiconductor manufacturing test
equipment and medical test equipment. The Company maintains a comprehensive
manufacturing, assembly and quality control inspection program to ensure that
all products meet exacting customer requirements for performance and quality
workmanship prior to delivery. The Company is in the business of fabricating
custom-designed metal enclosures. This product and service cannot be
homogenized into one operation or manufacturing approach for its entire
production line. With each custom order received from a customer comes a
different list of requirements for manufacturing design, process and finish. In
addition, the manufacturing environment allows for the manufacture of both
prototype and production of the various types of customer products. To support
its operations, The Company has purchased a wide variety of sophisticated
automated machinery and shop equipment, components, tools and supplies from
proven outside vendors, distributors and service organizations.
MARKETING AND SALES
The Company's marketing strategy focuses on developing long-term
relationships with producers of computers, telecommunication equipment,
semiconductor manufacturing test equipment and medical test equipment. The
Company's customer base consists of manufacturers of computers, medical
equipment and test equipment markets and the Company intends to expand over the
next few years this customer base to include a greater number of manufacturers
of telecommunications equipment. Telecommunications equipment sales is an area
in which little has been done to penetrate the market on the local level.
However, the Company's marketing efforts will continue to reflect the evolution
of the principal industry segments of the information technology industry.
The Company will continue to focus and concentrate on major existing
customers and to pursue new business from other potential customers in evolving
segments of the information technology industry. The ability of the Company to
maintain its relationships with its major existing customers shall remain a
significant factor in determining the future growth of the Company. The Company
intends to achieve growth through competitive pricing strategies, expansion of
existing turnkey capabilities and more aggressive direct sales efforts. As a
result of the limited and focused target market, the Company's marketing
efforts will rely primarily on direct sales efforts, which will emphasize the
Company's design-engineering and quality control manufacturing capabilities.
The Company's sales activities are handled by a combination of direct
sales personnel and limited use of independent sales representatives, who may
also sell products of the Company's competitors. Because of the complexity and
analysis involved in the customer's design and purchase decision, management
emphasizes active interaction between the direct sales staff, its independent
sales representatives and the buyer or engineer throughout the selling process.
SOURCES OF SUPPLY, MAJOR SUPPLIERS AND BACKLOG
The largest supplier of the Company is Lassen Electronics, Inc.
Purchases from this vendor accounted for 8.8% of the combined purchases of
Touche and TEI in fiscal 1996.
The raw materials, such as sheet metal, metal frames and other
electrical wire or cable components used in the development and manufacture of
the Company's customer products, are generally available from domestic
suppliers at competitive prices; fabrication of certain major components may be
subcontracted for on an as-needed basis. With the exception of other material
requirements, sheet metal
-34-
<PAGE>
may be purchased on an as-needed basis under a consignment arrangement with
suppliers. Touche and TEI do not have any long term contracts for new
materials. Touche, TEI and EII have not experienced any significant difficulty
in obtaining adequate supplies to perform under their respective contracts.
Touche, TEI and EII have established operating policies that require
the development and maintenance of a second vendor source for purchasing
materials and supplies that are needed to perform under contract for their
customers. This purchasing requirement focuses on the prevention of potential
problems that might otherwise originate from a single supplier's financial
condition. Such policies allow greater flexibility in keeping purchasing costs
down and greater assurance that raw material is available in order to meet
customer contract and delivery requirements.
At December 31, 1996, Touche and TEI's combined backlog was
approximately $10 million. Touche and TEI do not believe that their combined
rolling backlog at any particular time is necessarily indicative of their
future business or performance.
CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT
Touche, TEI and EII handle all customer service-related inquiries or
complaints through the sales staff who have been assigned to handle and manage
account relationships. This requirement enables the salesperson to monitor and
control the quality of production during the entire manufacturing process,
which is designed to help prevent production problems before shipment is made
to customers. Such efforts are supported by Touche, TEI and EII's engineering
departments which are directly involved in the development process of the
products.
To ensure that adequate support is given to customers, each
salesperson has formal sales training augmented by direct participation in the
manufacturing process at Touche, TEI and EII's facilities and also in the
installation and acceptance tests at the customer's facility.
PATENT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Company does not have any patent or copyright applications
pending, because the Company does not offer or provide any original design work
that is not otherwise proprietary to the product design-engineering of their
customers. The Company owns common law trademark rights to its "Touche"
trademark and servicemark.
COMPETITION
The information technology industry (computers, telecommunications
equipment, semiconductor manufacturing test equipment and medical test
equipment) is highly competitive, involves rapid technological change and is
characterized by substantial competition. The Company's competitors range from
small firms to mid-sized local companies. Competition is generally based on
several factors, including quality of work, reputation, price and marketing
approach. The Company is established in the industry and maintains a strong
competitive presence by delivering high-quality work in a timely fashion within
the customer's budget constraints.
The Company offers full-service facility capabilities to customers,
which includes the capability of taking the development of an enclosure from
conception, to design, to prototype, to full fabrication of the finished
product. This process offers better control over quality, turnaround time and
delivery. This
-35-
<PAGE>
process also enables the Company to price its products based on marketing its
services as a full-service facility compared to competitors who may offer the
same services, but at different locations that may be less efficient and less
cost-effective to a customer.
Because of the continuing change by OEMs from manufacturers to
design-engineering and marketing organizations, companies like Touche, TEI and
EII are receiving a much greater share of the overall manufacturing task of
products that are designed for manufacture by their customers. The process
itself removes more and more of the subcontracting and replaces it with a prime
contractor status gradually eliminating the need for submitting joint
subcontracting work proposals. By the Company reducing the number of
subcontractors, the customers benefit from the reduction in the turnaround time
and the maintenance of more efficient and quality based manufacturers. The
creation and maintenance of a "one-stop shop" manufacturing environment is
believed to be advantageous to the Company's success as an effective competitor
in the industry.
NEW PRODUCT SERVICE LINES OF BUSINESS
To continue to respond to its customers' needs and to strengthen and
diversify its competitive position in the marketplace, the Company intends to
introduce the additional service listed below. Neither the Company has not
derived any revenues to date from this service, and other services to be
provided by the recent acquisitions.
Clean Room Assembly. This new service is designed to generate
additional business from existing customers that have asked TEI to provide
clean room assembly capabilities for certain specialized products. These
customers include OEMs as well as other local enclosure manufacturers that are
currently customers of TEI. This service is directly linked to the value-added
services currently provided by TEI. The implementation of this service is not
expected to be a significant cost to TEI and is being funded out of its current
cash flow. Additional space will not be required for this service and TEI
expects that it will hire one or two additional employees that are experienced
in clean room assembly.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Substantial environmental laws have been enacted in the United States
and California in response to public concern over environmental deterioration.
These laws and the implementing regulations affect nearly every activity of the
Company. The principal federal and state legislation which has the most
significant effect on the Company's business includes the following: The
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; The
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; The Clean Air Act; The Safe Drinking
Water Act; The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act; The Clean
Water Act; and The Toxic Substance Control Act. Failure by the Company, Touche,
TEI or EII to comply with applicable federal and state environmental
regulations could result in the Company incurring substantial fines and
penalties and/or having restraining orders issued against it. To the best of
the Company's knowledge and belief, its operations are not currently in
violation of any governmental regulatory requirements nor is it expected or
anticipated that any fines, penalties, or assessments will be imposed or
required to satisfy any violation.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1996, the Company employed approximately 283
persons, including the officers of the Company, all of whom are full-time
employees and none of whom are subject to collective
-36-
<PAGE>
bargaining agreements. Of these full-time employees, 35 are engaged in
administration and finance, 230 in manufacturing, engineering and production, 7
in marketing and sales and 11 in operations and development. Many of the
Company's employees have overlapping responsibilities in these job
descriptions.
The Company believes that its combined future success will depend in
large measure upon the continued ability of Touche, TEI and EII to recruit and
retain technical personnel. Competition for qualified technical personnel is
significant, particularly in the geographic area in which the Company, Touche,
TEI and EII are located. Touche, TEI and EII have never experienced a work
stoppage. The Company, Touche, TEI and EII believe that their relationships
with their employees are good.
FACILITIES
Touche leases approximately 145,000 square feet of factory
manufacturing space in two adjacent buildings which are equipped with
state-of-the-art metal fabrication equipment. Touche leases approximately

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
The Company has entered into an employment agreement ("Agreement")
dated as of December 28, 1995 with Rolando Loera. The term of employment
commenced on March 5, 1996 and will expire on the fifth anniversary thereof.
The annual salary under the Agreement is $225,000. The term of employment will
be automatically extended for an additional five year term in the absence of
notice from either party. This salary may be increased to reflect annual cost
of living increases and may be supplemented by discretionary and performance
increases as may be determined by the Board of Directors except that during the
first three years following the Effective Date, his salary may not exceed
$225,000. Mr. Loera is also eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to
$100,000, payable in four quarterly installments. The Agreement provides that
during the initial three years of the term of employment, an annual bonus of
$100,000 will be awarded to Mr. Loera and that such bonus awards will be used
by Mr. Loera to repay the $473,952 loan by TEI to Touche Properties, Inc. See
"Certain Transactions." The 1996 bonus was relinquished by the President and no
payments were made to Touche Properties, Inc. during 1996. Bonuses during the
remainder of the term of employment will be at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. No objective criteria have been established for determining the
amount of any bonuses for subsequent years.
The Agreement provides, among other things, for participation in an
equitable manner in any profit-sharing or retirement plan for employees or
executives and for participation in other employee benefits applicable to
employees and executives of the Company. The Agreement further provides for the
use of an automobile and other fringe benefits commensurate with his duties and
responsibilities. The Agreement also provides for benefits in the event of
disability. Under the Agreement, the Company is also obligated to procure and
pay the premiums for a $1 million term life policy and, in the event of Mr.
Loera's death, to use the death benefit under such policy to purchase from Mr.
Loera's estate shares of the Company's Common Stock at its fair market value.
Pursuant to the Agreement, employment may be terminated by the Company
with cause or by the executive with or without good reason. Termination by the
Company without cause, or by the executive for good reason, would subject the
Company to liability for liquidated damages in an amount equal to the
terminated executive's current salary ($225,000) and a pro rata portion of his
prior year's bonus (up to $100,000) annually, for the remaining term of the
Agreement, payable in equal monthly installments, without any set-off for
compensation received from any new employment. In addition, the terminated
executive would be entitled to continue to participate in and accrue benefits
under all employee benefit plans and to receive supplemental retirement
benefits to replace benefits under any qualified plan for the remaining term of
the Agreement to the extent permitted by law.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has adopted a stock option plan, effective December 22,
1995. Under such plan, key employees and officers and consultants of the
Company may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock
at their fair market value on the date of grant. The plan provides for an
aggregate of 500,000 options. Options to purchase 100,000 shares at $3.75 per
share were granted to Rolando Loera effective December 22, 1995. These options
vest two years from the date of grant and will expire December 2005. The plan
also permits Stock Appreciation Rights to be granted in tandem with options.
Finally, the plan permits awards of Restricted Stock.
-41-
<PAGE>
Any future awards will be determined by the Board of Directors or a
Committee established by the Board.
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS
As permitted by Delaware law, the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation includes a provision which provides that a director of the
Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for
monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which prohibits the
unlawful payment of dividends or the unlawful repurchase or redemption of
stock, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper
personal benefit. This provision is intended to afford directors protection
against, and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting
from, suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director. As a
consequence of this provision, stockholders of the Company will be unable to
recover monetary damages against directors for action taken by them that may
constitute negligence or gross negligence in performance of their duties unless
such conduct falls within one of the foregoing exceptions. The provision,
however, does not alter the applicable standards governing a director's
fiduciary duty and does not eliminate or limit the right of the Company or any
stockholder to obtain an injunction or any other type of nonmonetary relief in
the event of a breach of fiduciary duty. Management of the company believes
this provision will assist the Company in securing and retaining qualified
persons to serve as directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
Company's Common Stock owned as of November 10, 1997 by (i) each person who is
known by the Company to own beneficially more than five percent (5%) of the
Company's common stock; (ii) each of the Company's executive officers and
directors; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. The percentage of
shares calculations have been based on there being 3,596,332 shares outstanding
on November 10, 1997.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 7,
1995, under the name TMCI Electronics, Inc. A predecessor of the Company was
organized under the laws of the State of California ("TMCI California") on
September 26, 1995 and was merged into the Company on December 28, 1995.
Mr. Loera was originally issued 600,000 shares of TMCI California's
common stock for $1,000. Upon the merger of TMCI California into the Company,
Mr. Loera was issued 600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in exchange
for his shares of TMCI California.
On March 16, 1994, $50,000 and on April 1, 1994, $25,000 was advanced
to Touche by Frank Ramirez III and Livino Ribaya, Jr., employees of Touche and
TEI, in exchange for convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 7.382%
and 6.75% per annum and payable in monthly installments of $920 and $979,
respectively, through 2009. Identical loans were made to TEI on the same dates
by the same employees. In June 1995, $25,000 was advanced to each of Touche and
TEI by Jose Antonio Agredano in exchange for a convertible promissory note
bearing interest at 10% per annum and payable in monthly installments of $950.
All of these notes were converted into shares of Touche and TEI immediately
prior to the Effective Date of the Stock Purchase Agreements described below.
On December 30, 1996, the Company made loans in the principal amounts
of $95,986, $34,479 and $32,761, respectively to Frank Ramirez III, Jose A.
Agredano and Livino Ribaya, Jr. Such loans shall be repaid over ten years
bearing interest at 10% per annum.
The Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements dated as of
December 28, 1995 (the "Stock Purchase Agreements") with Rolando Loera,
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Rolando
Loera as Trustee for the Touche Employee Stock Ownership Plan pursuant to which
the Company has acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Touche and
TEI in exchange for the issuance of 893,600 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. Immediately prior to the close as of the public offering on March 11,
1996, Messrs. Jose Antonio Agredano, Frank Ramirez III and Livino Ribaya, Jr.
exercised their right to acquire shares of Touche and TEI which they converted
into 74,680, 149,360 and 74,680 shares of the Company, respectively. The
remaining 594,880 shares were issued to Rolando Loera and to the Touche
Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
TEI leases approximately 78,000 square feet of space located at
1881-1899 Dobbin Drive, San Jose, California from Touche Properties, Inc.
("TPI"), a company wholly owned by Rolando Loera, Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, pursuant to a lease agreement dated November
1, 1993. In addition, TEI leases space to subtenants. Touche is one subtenant.
The other two subtenants are unaffiliated with the Company. Rent expense
amounted to approximately $576,144 in 1996. Such amounts represent payments by
TEI and Touche to TPI, exclusive of any subtenant payments.
In connection with its acquisition of 1881-1899 Dobbin Drive (the
"Property"), TPI borrowed $1,000,000 from the Small Business Administration.
This loan bears interest at 6.359% per annum, matures on January 1, 1994 and is
secured by a first mortgage on the Property. Touche and TEI, inter alia, have
guaranteed the satisfaction of TPI's obligations under this loan.
-44-
<PAGE>
TPI also borrowed $303,325 from TEI in December, 1993. This loan bears
interest at 10% per annum, and principal and interest are payable in equal
monthly installments until satisfied. The principal balance on the loan
increased as a result of certain expenses of TPI advanced by Touche. The
outstanding balance of the loan as of December 31, 1996 was $473,952.
In addition, in 1993 Touche made loans to Rolando Loera aggregating
$87,190.39. This loan bears interest at 10% per annum and is payable in monthly
installments of $1,000. Certain additions were made to the principal amount of
the loan in fiscal 1996 to account for payments of certain personal expenses of
Rolando Loera by Touche. Accordingly, the outstanding principal balance on the
loan was $238,166 at December 31, 1996.
In 1995, Touche owed Textron Financial approximately $401,700 which
Antonio Zertuche, Touche's landlord, agreed to repay in exchange for Touche's
promissory note to make monthly installments of approximately $6,322, including
interest at 11.5% per annum, maturing December 1996. In January 1996, the
Company refinanced the note, and issued a new note for approximately $291,000
which is the difference between the Company's original note payable of
approximately $401,700 and its cancellation of an outstanding note receivable
from the landlord of approximately $99,000, plus approximately $11,600 in the
overpayment of property taxes on leased property located at 1875 Dobbin Drive,
San Jose, California. The new note payable was satisfied in March 1996, from
the proceeds of the initial public offering (IPO).

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
COMMON STOCK
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 25,000,000
shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share. As of November 10, 1997
there were 3,596,332 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and
approximately 44 stockholders of record of the Company. Holders of the Common
Stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of Common
Stock or other subscription rights. The Common Stock carries no conversion
rights and is not subject to redemption or to any sinking fund provisions. All
shares of Common Stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources
legally available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors
and, upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or
involuntary, to share equally in the assets of the Company available for
distribution to stockholders. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are
validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and all shares to
be sold and issued as contemplated hereby, will be validly authorized and
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Board of Directors is authorized to
issue additional shares of Common Stock, not to exceed the amount authorized by
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, and to issue options and warrants
for the purchase of such shares, on such terms and conditions and for such
consideration as the Board may deem appropriate without further stockholder
action. The above description concerning the Common Stock of the Company does
not purport to be complete. Reference is made to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and bylaws which are available for inspection upon proper notice
at the Company's offices, as well as to the applicable statutes of the State of
Delaware for a more complete description concerning the rights and liabilities
of stockholders.
Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all
matters on which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Since the shares of
Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than
fifty percent (50%) of the shares voting for the election of directors can
elect all the directors if they choose to do so and, in such event, the holders
of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to the Board of
Directors.
CLASS A WARRANTS
There are currently 2,672,000 Class A Warrants ("Warrants")
outstanding. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common
Stock at $5.50 per share during the four year period which commenced March 5,
1997. The Common Stock underlying the Warrants will, upon exercise of the
Warrants, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Class A Warrants
are redeemable by the Company for $.01 per Warrant, at any time after March 5,
1997, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, if the average closing price
or bid price of the Common Stock, as reported by Nasdaq, equals or exceeds
$8.75 per share, for any twenty (20) consecutive trading days within a period
of thirty (30) consecutive days ending within five (5) days prior to the date
of the notice of redemption. Upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to all
holders of the Class A Warrants, the Company shall have the right to reduce the
exercise price and/or extend the term of the Class A Warrants.
The Warrants can only be exercised when there is a current effective
registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the
Warrants. Because the Warrants included in the Units being offered hereby may
be transferred, it is possible that the Warrants may be acquired by persons
residing in states where the Company has not registered, or is not exempt from
registration such that the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants may
not be sold or transferred upon exercise
-46-
<PAGE>
of the Warrants. If the Company does not or is unable to maintain a current
effective registration statement, including audited financial statements for
companies acquired, the Warrant holders will be unable to exercise the Warrants
and the Warrants may become valueless. See "Risk Factors-Requirements of
Current Prospectus and State Blue Sky Registration in Connection with the
Exercise of the Warrants Which May Therefore Be Valueless."
Warrant certificates may be exchanged for new certificates of
different denominations, and may be exercised or transferred by presenting them
at the offices of the Transfer Agent. Holders of the Warrants may sell the
Warrants if a market exists rather than exercise them. However, there can be no
assurance that a market will develop or continue as to such Warrants. If the
Company is unable to qualify its common stock underlying such Warrants for sale
in certain states, holders of the Company's Warrants in those states will have
no choice but to either sell such Warrants or allow them to expire.
Each Warrant may be exercised by surrendering the Warrant certificate,
with the form of election to purchase on the reverse side of the Warrant
certificate properly completed and executed, together with payment of the
exercise price to the Warrant Agent. The Warrants may be exercised in whole or
from time to time in part. If less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a
Warrant certificate are exercised, a new Warrant certificate will be issued for
the remaining number of Warrants.
Holders of the Warrants are protected against dilution of the equity
interest represented by the underlying shares of common stock upon the
occurrence of certain events, including, but not limited to, issuance of stock
dividends. If the company merges, reorganizes or is acquired in such a way as
to terminate the Warrants, the Warrants may be exercised immediately prior to
such action. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, holders of the Warrants are not entitled to participate in the
Company's assets.
For the life of the Warrants, the holders thereof are given the
opportunity, at nominal cost, to profit from a rise in the market price of the
common stock of the company. The exercise of the Warrants will result in the
dilution of the then book value of the Common Stock of the Company held by the
public investors and would result in a dilution of their percentage ownership
of the Company. The terms upon which the Company may obtain additional capital
may be adversely affected through the period that the Warrants remain
exercisable. The holders of these Warrants may be expected to exercise them at
a time when the Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain equity
capital on terms more favorable than those provided for by the Warrants.
UNIT PURCHASE OPTION
Biltmore Securities, Inc. ("Biltmore") is the holder of a unit
purchase option to purchase up to 128,000 Units at a price of $8.25 per Unit.
The unit purchase option was issued to Biltmore in connection with the
Company's initial public offering in March 1996 in consideration of the payment
of $128. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's Common Stock, $.001
par value per share, and one Class A Warrant. The option is exercisable during
the four year period which commenced March 5, 1997.
RESTRICTED SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
1,628,871 of the Company's currently outstanding shares of common
stock are "restricted securities" and, in the future, may be sold upon
compliance with Rule 144, adopted under the Securities
-47-
<PAGE>
Act of 1933, as amended. Rule 144 provides, in essence, that a person holding
"restricted securities" for a period of one year may sell only an amount every
three months equal to the greater of (a) one percent of the Company's issued
and outstanding shares, or (b) the average weekly volume of sales during the
four calendar weeks preceding the sale. The amount of "restricted securities"
which a person who is not an affiliate of the Company may sell is not so
limited, since non-affiliates may sell without volume limitation their shares
held for two years if there is adequate current public information available
concerning the Company. Assuming no exercise of any outstanding Warrants, the
Company has 3,596,332 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Therefore, during
each three month period, beginning June 4,1996, a holder of restricted
securities who has held them for at least the one year period may sell under
Rule 144 a number of shares up to 12,243 shares. Non-affiliated persons who
hold for the two-year period described above may sell unlimited shares once
their holding period is met. Notwithstanding the above, the current officers,
directors and principal stockholders have agreed, except as noted below, not to
sell, transfer, assign or issue any securities of the Company for a period of
twenty-four (24) months ending March 5, 1998 without the consent of Biltmore
Securities, Inc., the underwriter in the March 1996 public offering
("Biltmore"). Biltmore has released the foregoing lock-up with respect to
certain of the shares held by officers and directors and may, in its
discretion, release additional shares from time to time. The Company has also
agreed not to issue any additional securities other than as contemplated by
this Prospectus for a period of twenty-four (24) months ending March 5, 1998
without the consent of Biltmore.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent and registrar for the securities of the Company is
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company located at 40 Wall Street, New York,
New York 10005.
REPORTS TO SECURITYHOLDERS
The Company will furnish to holders of its Common Stock and Warrants
annual reports containing audited financial statements. The Company may issue
other unaudited interim reports to its securityholders as it deems appropriate.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of Common Stock to which this Prospectus relates are being
registered exclusively for issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants. Each
Warrant, when exercised, entitles the holder thereof to receive one share of
Common Stock upon the payment of the exercise price of $5.50 per share. The
Warrants are exercisable for a four year period beginning on March 5, 1997. See
"Description of Securities - Class A Warrants." The expenses relating to the
exercise of the Warrants will be borne by the Company and are anticipated to be
approximately $587,840. No underwriting discounts or commissions are payable in
connection with the exercise of the Warrants.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Subsequent to the closing of the acquisition of the San Jose Division
of Pen Interconnect ("PII"), a dispute arose concerning various aspects of the
transaction. On February 14, 1997, TMCI filed a Demand for Arbitration against
PII, seeking a substantial purchase price reduction or, in the alternative,
other remedies and damages as provided by law. TMCI sought such remedies based
upon a failure of consideration furnished by PII and upon misrepresentations of
PII, in particular, in overstating the value of inventory, in substantially
changing the financial conditions, prior to TMCI taking over operations and to
the detriment of TMCI, and in failing to disclose certain accounts payable.
Management suspended all payments to PII, including payments due under the
promissory notes, aggregating $900,000. Pen, in turn, sought to accelerate the
promissory notes. On November 25, 1997, TMCI and PII entered into a letter
agreement whereby there will be no purchase price reduction and TMCI will pay
PII the full amount due under the promissory notes in the form of unregistered
common stock of the Company. At September 30, 1997, the Company classified the
promissory notes as maturing under the original terms provided therein.
None of the Company, Touche, TEI or EII is a party to any other
significant legal proceedings and, to the best of the Company's information,
knowledge and belief, none is contemplated or has been threatened.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities being offered hereby have been passed
upon for the Company by Gould & Wilkie, One Chase Manhattan Plaza, New York, NY
10005.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
TMCI Electronics, Inc.
San Jose, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
of TMCI Electronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 1996.
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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards 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. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of TMCI Electronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

TMCI ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES - NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION RELATED TO THE INTERIM PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996
IS UNAUDITED)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1] FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION, ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis commencing March
5, 1996 and include the results of operations of the parent company, TMCI
Electronics, Inc. ["TMCI"], and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Touche
Manufacturing, Inc. ["Touche"], and Touche Electronics, Inc. ["TEI"]
[collectively, the "Company"]. The Company's revenues are predominately
generated from the manufacture and sale of custom-fabricated metal enclosures
for manufacturers of computers, telecommunications equipment, semiconductor
manufacturing test equipment and medical test equipment. The Company also
assembles and installs wire cable harnesses used in custom-fabricated metal
enclosures for manufacturers of computers, telecommunications test equipment
and medical test equipment. The Company sells to original equipment
manufacturers primarily located in the Silicon Valley, California area.
All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated for all periods
presented.
[2] BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements [the "Agreements"] with the
stockholders of Touche and TEI to acquire all of their issued and outstanding
stock. The combined financial statements as of and for the period ended
December 31, 1995 give retroactive effect to the acquisition by TMCI
Electronics, Inc. of all of the outstanding common stock of TEI [an S
corporation] and Touche on March 5, 1996. The financial statements of the
Company are presented on a consolidated basis commencing as of such date. Prior
to that date the separate results of TEI and Touche had been combined on an
as-if pooling basis consistent with that of consolidated financial statements
giving retroactive effect to the issuance of 27,280 shares of the Company's
common stock to the stockholders of TEI, and 567,600 shares of the Company's
common stock to the stockholders of Touche. Additionally, the S corporation
equity section of TEI has been reclassified to additional paid-in capital. No
adjustment of assets to "fair value" had been recorded and all intercompany
balances and transactions were eliminated. The accompanying combined financial
statements for 1995 will become the historical financial statements upon
issuance of financial statements for the period subsequent to March 5, 1996.
[3] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. At December
31, 1996, there were no cash equivalents.
INVENTORY - Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Cost, which
includes materials, labor and overhead, is determined using the first-in,
first-out basis method. The Company reviews inventory items that have been on
hand for more than 60 days and charges against earnings if it is determined
that such inventory has become obsolete. During the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company charged $40,000, $-0-, and $-0- respectively.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION - Property and equipment is stated at
cost. Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 5 to 7 years.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [CONTINUED]
GOODWILL AND AMORTIZATION - Goodwill is amortized utilizing the straight-line
method over a period of 15 years. When changes in circumstances warrant it, the
Company evaluates the carrying value and the periods of amortization of
goodwill based on the current and expected future non-discounted cash flows of
the entities or assets giving rise to the goodwill.
DEFERRED LOAN COSTS - Deferred loan costs have been amortized over the term of
the loan using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method.
EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earnings per share of common stock is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented.
The 1995 and 1994 weighted average number of shares gives retroactive effect
for the shares issued in the business combination [See Note 2]. Common stock
equivalents are included if dilutive.
ADVERTISING - The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Total
advertising costs charged to expense amounted to $18,316, $11,874 and $0 for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
STOCK OPTIONS - The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation
under the intrinsic value based method as prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board ["APB"] Opinion No. 25. The Company applies the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ["SFAS"] No. 123 to non-employee stock-based
compensation and the pro forma disclosure provisions of that statement to
employee stock-based compensation.
RISK CONCENTRATIONS - Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and
accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company
places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial
institutions located in the western United States.
The Company periodically has money in financial institutions that is subject to
normal credit risk beyond insured amounts. This credit risk, representing the
excess of the bank's deposit liabilities reported by the bank over the amounts
that would have been covered by federal insurance, amounted to approximately
$191,000 and $669,000 at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.
The Company's extension of credit to its customers, which are primarily located
in the Silicon Valley, California, results in accounts receivable arising from
its normal business activities. The Company does not require collateral from
its customers, but routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers.
Based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers and the
Company's historical collection experience, an allowance for uncollectible
accounts amounting to $93,279 and $8,279 has been established at December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company believes that its accounts receivable
credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited. Such assessment may be
subject to change in the near term.
The Company had sales to three unrelated customers in the computer industry
approximating $7,404,000, $6,285,000 and $3,487,600 representing 28%, 24% and
13%, respectively, of the Company's total net sales for the year ended December
31, 1996. For the year ended December 31, 1995, sales to these three unrelated
customers approximated $9,273,000, $5,058,000 and $5,339,000 representing 33%,
18% and 19%, respectively. For the year ended 1994, sales to these three
unrelated customers approximated $6,052,000, $5,426,100, and $2,713,000
representing 29%, 26% and 13%, respectively. The loss of one or more of these
customers may have a severe impact on the Company in the near term.

[4] BUSINESS ACQUISITION
Effective November 1, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets and assumed certain liabilities of Pen Interconnect, Inc.'s San Jose
Division [a manufacturer of wire cable harnesses] for a purchase price of
$3,300,000. The Company acquired assets of approximately $1,309,000 and assumed
certain liabilities of $372,000. The consideration paid consisted of $2,000,000
in cash, $900,000 in promissory notes, and 134,172 shares of TMCI common stock
with an agreed-upon guaranteed value of $400,000 at the date of acquisition of
which 80,503 shares were held in escrow subject to the outcome of an earn out
agreement entered into between the Company and Pen Interconnect, Inc. The
acquisition was accounted for utilizing the purchase method and the operations
of the new division are included in the Company's results of operations from
November 1, 1996. Goodwill of approximately $2,577,000 [of which approximately
$214,000 was for legal and accounting costs directly related to the
acquisition] was recorded in connection with the transaction which is being
amortized utilizing the straight-line method over a period of 15 years.
Amortization expense of $27,593 was recorded for the period ended December 31,
1996 and accumulated amortization amounted to $27,593 at December 31, 1996. In
addition, the Company entered into agreements whereby based on the attainment
of certain earnings levels the seller can earn additional proceeds of $700,000.
TMCI may also be obligated to issue up to an additional 13,417 shares of Common
Stock in the event that certain overdue accounts receivable are collected. In
the event any such future payments will take place, the amount will be
capitalized as part of a goodwill. [See Note 21A - Subsequent Events -
Unaudited-Arbitration of Pen Interconnect Acquisition.]
The following pro forma unaudited information presents the results of the
combined operations of TMCI Electronics, Inc. and the San Jose Division of Pen
Interconnect, Inc., treating the latter as if it was a division of Touche'
Electronics, Inc. for the entire years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, with
pro forma adjustments as if the acquisition had been consummated as of the
beginning of 1995. This pro forma information does not purport to be indicative
of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of January 1, 1995
or results which may occur in the future.

[8] DUE FROM RELATED PARTY
The Company has amounts due from an entity controlled by the majority
stockholder of the Company with interest to 10% per annum. The balance due the
Company amounted to $473,952 and $444,676 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Interest income on these amounts approximated $30,000 for each of
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. In addition, the entity
borrowed $1,000,000 from the Small Business Administration. The Company has
guaranteed amounts due under the loan.
[9] DUE FROM STOCKHOLDER - NONCURRENT
The December 31, 1996 balance due from stockholder is comprised of two
unsecured promissory notes due on demand from the Company's president. Each of
the notes call for interest payable at 10% per annum. The cumulative balance
outstanding of these notes was $238,167 and $232,033 at December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.
[10] LINE OF CREDIT
In March 1996, the Company entered into a new line of credit and term loan
facility with a financial institution. The new facilities bear interest rates
ranging from prime plus 1.25% to prime plus .75%, are collateralized by all
corporate assets and was used to pay off the former line of credit and other
debt aggregating approximately $2,800,000. The unused portion of the line of
credit was $3,415,000 [based upon eligible accounts receivable] at December 31,
1996 of which approximately $1,000,000 from the line was used to finance the
acquisition of Enterprise Industries, Inc. [See Note 20]. The new facility
requires the Company, among other things, to maintain minimum levels of
earnings, tangible net worth and certain minimum financial ratios. Effective
December 31, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants and
obtained a waiver from the financial institution of the required minimum level
of earnings, tangible net worth, and debt service coverage ratio. The line of
credit also contains negative covenants among other provisions, requiring the
consent for the disposition of assets, acquisition or merger of any business,
guaranty of any third party obligations, capital restructure, and any
distributions or payment of any dividends in cash or in stock. The weighted
average interest rate on short-term borrowings at December 31, 1996 was 11.3
percent. The line of credit is personally guaranteed by the president of the
Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain
compliance with applicable covenants under the line of credit and term loan
facility in the future.

[12] OTHER LIABILITIES
Pursuant to a purchase agreement with the previous owner of the operating
assets of the business, consummated in September 1992, the Company assumed, and
agreed to perform and pay when due, all of the liabilities, obligations, and
contracts of the previous owner as of August 31, 1992, and any additional
liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business. Accrued expenses
include management's estimate of their liability under this purchase agreement
of approximately $68,000.
[13] BRIDGE NOTES PAYABLE
In November and December 1995, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $1,000,000
in bridge loans, as evidenced by four promissory notes of $250,000 each bearing
a rate of eight percent [8%] simple interest. The loans matured on the
consummation of the public offering of the Company's securities [See Note 18C].
As additional consideration, solely for making the loans, the Company granted
the lenders the right to receive an aggregate of 200,000 units ["Bridgeholder's
Units"]. Each Bridgeholder's Unit consists of (i) two shares of Common Stock,
(ii) two Class A Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants ["Class A Warrants"]
and (iii) two Class B Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants ["Class B
Warrants"]. The Lenders may exercise the right to receive the Bridgeholder's
Units by delivering the notice thereof to the Company at any time after the
effective date of the offering. The holders of the Bridge Units agreed not to
sell, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Bridge
Units for a period of thirteen months following the effective date of the
offering. The Company has valued these units at $3.75 per unit taking into
consideration restrictions imposed on the holders of the Bridge Units as to the
salability of the units issued. The Company has accounted for the $750,000
value of the Bridgeholder's Units as debt issue costs which were amortized by
the straight-line method which approximates the interest method over the life
of the promissory notes. For the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
amortization of $462,122 and $287,878, respectively, of such costs are
reflected in the statement of operations.

[14] INCOME TAXES
Commencing March 5, 1996, the Company will file its tax returns on a
consolidated basis with all of its subsidiaries. Prior to March 5, 1996, TMCI
and Touche filed separate Subchapter C corporation tax returns and TEI was
taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial
reporting amounts, and consist primarily of depreciation, inventory
capitalization, allowance for bad debts, contribution deductions, and the
alternative minimum tax.
The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

[15] RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In 1995, Touche owed Textron Financial approximately $401,700 which Antonio
Zertuche, Touche's landlord, agreed to repay in exchange for Touche's
promissory note to make monthly installments of approximately $6,322, including
interest at 11.5% per annum, maturing December 1996. In January 1996, the
Company refinanced the note, and issued a new note for approximately $291,000
which is the difference between the Company's original note payable of
approximately $401,700 and its cancellation of an outstanding note receivable
from the landlord of approximately $99,000, plus approximately $11,600 in the
overpayment of property taxes on leased property located at 1875 Dobbin Drive,
San Jose, California. The new note payable was satisfied in March 1996, from
the proceeds of the initial public offering.
In addition to acting as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, Rolando Loera is also the sole owner of Touche Properties, Inc.
("TPI"), a real estate company which owns and leases the real property located
at 1881-1899 Dobbin Drive (the "Property") to TEI and Touche, two wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company. The rent payments made by TEI and Touche to TPI
amounted to approximately $576,144, $477,640 and $479,307 in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. In addition, TPI has a loan in the amount of $1,000,000 on
the Property, and TEI and Touche have guaranteed the satisfaction of TPI's
obligations under this loan.
[16] EMPLOYEES' STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND EMPLOYEES' DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
TMCI has a Noncontributory Employees' Stock Ownership Plan ["the Plan"]
covering all full-time employees who have met certain service requirements. It
provides for discretionary contributions by Touche as determined annually by
the directors and stockholders. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Plan
owned approximately .8% and 10% respectively of Touche's outstanding shares.
The Company has a voluntary 401(k) savings plan covering all eligible
employees. The Company matches up to 5% of all contributions on a discretionary
basis and each employee vests 100% over 7 years. The Company's 1996, 1995 and
1994 contributions were $5,036, $1,945 and $0, respectively.
[17] COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
OPERATING LEASES - The Company leases its production and administrative
facilities. This obligation extends through April 2003. Annual rental increases
on each January 1st shall be adjusted per the average annual Consumer Price
Index - San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose Metropolitan Area. Beginning on May 1,
2003 and continuing through the remaining lease term, the base rent will be the
prevailing market rate.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT - The Company has entered into an employment agreement
["Agreement"] dated as of December 28, 1995 with its president. The term of
employment commenced on March 5, 1996, the effective date of the public
offering and will expire on the fifth anniversary thereof. The annual salary
under the Agreement is $225,000. The term of employment will be automatically
extended for an additional five year term in the absence of notice from either
party. This salary may be increased to reflect annual cost of living increases
and may be supplemented by discretionary and performance increases as may be
determined by the Board of Directors except that during the first three years
following the effective date, his salary may not exceed $225,000. The Agreement
provides that during the initial three years of the term of employment, an
annual bonus of $100,000 will be awarded to the president. The 1996 bonus was
relinquished by the President. Bonuses during the remainder of the term of
employment will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The Agreement provides, among other things, for participation in an equitable
manner in any profit-sharing or retirement plan for employees or executives and
for participation in other employee benefits applicable to employees and
executives of the Company. The Agreement further provides for the use of an
automobile and other fringe benefits commensurate with his duties and
responsibilities. The Agreement also provides for benefits in the event of
disability.
If employment by the Company of Mr. Loera terminates or Mr. Loera becomes
unable to perform his duties, the Company may be adversely affected.

[18] STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
[A] DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES - The authorized capital stock of the Company
consists of 25,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share. All
shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources
legally available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors
and, upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or
involuntary, to share equally in the assets of the Company available for
distribution to stockholders. All outstanding shares of common stock are
validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
[B] ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK - On November 6, 1995, the Company issued 600,000
shares of its common stock to its then sole stockholder in exchange for $1,000,
which is reflected retroactively in the statement of stockholders' equity in
connection with the business combination.
[C] PUBLIC OFFERING - On March 11, 1996, the Company closed the initial public
offering of its securities resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $5,700,000. The Company sold 1,472,000 Units consisting of one
share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and one redeemable Class A
warrant at a price of $5.00 per Unit. Each Class A warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $5.50 per share for a
period of four years beginning March 5, 1997. The Company may redeem the Class
A warrants any time after March 5, 1997, upon thirty days written notice, if
the average closing price or bid price of the common stock, as reported by the
principal market on which the common stock is quoted or traded, equals or
exceeds $8.75 per share, for any 20 consecutive trading days ending within five
days prior to the date of the notice of redemption. The Company used a portion
of the proceeds from the offering to repay the bridge notes described in Note
13.
Effective with the offering, the Company sold the underwriter an option to
purchase up to an aggregate of 128,000 units. Each unit shall be exercisable
during the four-year period commencing one year after March 11, 1996. The
exercise price of the units issuable upon exercise of the underwriter's units
during the period of exercisability shall be $8.25.
[D] CONVERSION OF DEBT-TO-EQUITY - Immediately prior to the public offering,
the holders of the convertible promissory notes exercised the conversion right
of the notes and exchanged them for 298,720 shares of TMCI.
[E] STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENTS - On December 28, 1995, the Company entered into
Stock Purchase Agreements [the "Agreements"] with the stockholders of Touche
and TEI to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of Touche and TEI.
Immediately prior to the public offering, the Company exchanged its shares of
Touche and TEI for 567,600 and 27,280 shares, respectively, of TMCI.
[F] STOCK OPTION PLAN - The Company has adopted a stock option plan, effective
December 22, 1995. Under such plan, key employees and officers and consultants
of the Company will be granted options to purchase shares of the Company's
common stock at their fair market value on the date of grant. The plan provides
for an aggregate of 500,000 options. On December 22, 1995, the Company's
president was granted options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at
$3.75 per share. The options vest two years from the date of grant and will
expire in December 2005. The Plan also permits stock appreciation rights to be
granted in tandem with options.

Had compensation cost for the Company's stock options issued to employees been
determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for stock options issued
under these plans pursuant to the methodology prescribed under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ["SFAS"] No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been
decreased, on a pro forma basis, by approximately $138,500, or $.05 per share
for the year ended December 31, 1996 which is based upon the amortization of
the 1995 fair value. The effect on 1995 earnings is immaterial. The fair value
of stock options granted to employees used in determining the pro forma amounts
is estimated at $377,000 during 1995 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model for the pro forma amounts with the following weighted average
assumptions:

[19] FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Effective December 31, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," which requires disclosing fair value to the extent practicable
for financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance
sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not
necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor
does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or
settlement. The following table summarizes financial instruments by individual
balance sheet classifications:

</TABLE>
In assessing the fair value of these financial instruments, the Company was
required to make assumptions, which were based on estimates of market
conditions and risks existing at that time. For certain instruments, including
cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, amounts due to
and from related parties and affiliates, and short-term debt, management
estimates that the carrying amount approximated fair value for the majority of
these instruments because of their short maturities. Management estimates that
the carrying amount of its long-term indebtedness approximates fair value since
the interest rates currently offered to the Company for debt of the same
remaining maturities approximates the average interest rates which the Company
is currently paying. The Company does not believe it is practicable to estimate
the fair value of the guarantee described in Note 8 and does not believe
exposure to loss is likely.
[20] SUBSEQUENT EVENT
ACQUISITION OF ENTERPRISE INDUSTRIES, INC. - On January 24, 1997, the Company
acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Enterprise
Industries, Inc. ["Enterprise"], a North Hollywood, California based metal
stamping manufacturing business for a total purchase price of $1,500,000,
consisting of $1,000,000 in cash and the issuance of 96,560 shares of the
Company's common stock. The Company acquired assets of approximately $1,088,000
and assumed liabilities of approximately $323,000 resulting in goodwill of
approximately $735,000. At the same time the Company entered into a five year
employment contract with the President of Enterprise. If employment by the
Company of the president of Enterprise terminates or if he becomes unable to
perform his duties, the Company may be adversely affected.
[21] SUBSEQUENT EVENTS [UNAUDITED] - SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORT DATE OF THE
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
[A] SETTLEMENT OF PEN INTERCONNECT ARBITRATION - Subsequent to the closing of
the acquisition of the San Jose Division of Pen Interconnect, a dispute arose
concerning various aspects of the transaction. On February 14, 1997, TMCI filed
a Demand for Arbitration against Pen, seeking a substantial purchase price
reduction or, in the alternative, other remedies and damages as provided by
law. Management suspended all payments to Pen, including payments due under the
promissory notes, aggregating $900,000. Pen, in turn, sought to accelerate the
promissory notes. At September 30, 1997, the Company classified the promissory
notes as maturing under the original terms provided therein. On November 25,
1997, TMCI and PII entered into a letter agreement whereby there will be no
purchase price reduction and TMCI will pay PII the full amount due under the
promissory note, plus interest, in common stock of the Company. TMCI will pay
132,000 shares of stock valued at $984,000. [See Note 11].

[B] LETTER OF INTENT - The Company has entered into a non-binding letter of
intent to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of a Santa Clara based
distributor of electronic parts. There can be no assurance that the acquisition

[22] PRO FORMA INCOME TAXES [UNAUDITED]
The pro forma income tax amounts presented in 1996 reflect the income tax
expense that would have been recorded if the Company had been combined as of
the beginning of the year and had been taxed as if all companies were a C
corporation.
[23] NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ["FASB"] has also issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ["SFAS"] No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities." SFAS No. 125
is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment
of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996. Earlier application is not
allowed. The provisions of SFAS No. 125 must be applied prospectively;
retroactive application is prohibited. Adoption on January 1, 1997 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company. The FASB deferred some
provisions of 125, which are not expected to be relevant to the Company.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ["FASB"] has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ["SFAS"] No. 128, "Earnings per Share," and SFAS
No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure," in February 1997.
SFAS No. 128 simplifies the earnings per share ["EPS"] calculations required by
Accounting Principles Board ["APB"] Opinion No. 15, and related
interpretations, by replacing the presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation of basic EPS. SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and
diluted EPS by entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in
the earnings of an entity, similar to the fully diluted EPS of APB Opinion No.
15. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application
is not permitted. When adopted, SFAS No. 128 will require restatement of all
prior-period EPS data presented; however, the Company has not sufficiently
analyzed SFAS No. 128 to determine what effect SFAS No. 128 will have on its
historically reported EPS amounts.
SFAS No. 129 does not change any previous disclosure requirements, but rather
consolidates existing disclosure requirements for ease of retrieval.
The FASB has issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No.
130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Earlier
application is permitted. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier
periods provided for comparative purposes is required. SFAS No. 130 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company.
The FASB has issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 changes how operating segments are
reported in annual financial statements and requires the reporting of selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
stockholders. SFAS No. 131 is effective for periods beginning after December
15, 1997, and comparative information for earlier years is to be restated. SFAS
No. 131 need not be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year
of its application. SFAS No. 131 is not expected to have a material impact on
the Company.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws contain
provisions which reduce the potential personal liability of directors for
certain monetary damages and provide for indemnity of directors and other
persons. The Company is unaware of any pending or threatened litigation against
the Company or its directors that would result in any liability for which such
director would seek indemnification or similar protection.
Such indemnification provisions are intended to increase the
protection provided directors and, thus, increase the Company's ability to
attract and retain qualified persons to serve as directors. Because directors
liability insurance is only available at considerable cost and with low dollar
limits of coverage and broad policy exclusions, the Company does not currently
maintain a liability insurance policy for the benefit of its directors although
the Company may attempt to acquire such insurance in the future. The Company
believes that the substantial increase in the number of lawsuits being
threatened or filed against corporations and their directors and the general
unavailability of directors liability insurance to provide protection against
the increased risk of personal liability resulting from such lawsuits have
combined to result in a growing reluctance on the part of capable persons to
serve as members of boards of directors of public companies. The Company also
believes that the increased risk of personal liability without adequate
insurance or other indemnity protection for its directors could result in
overcautious and less effective direction and management of the Company.
Although no directors have resigned or have threatened to resign as a result of
the Company's failure to provide insurance or other indemnity protection from
liability, it is uncertain whether the Company's directors would continue to
serve in such capacities if improved protection from liability were not
provided.
II-1
<PAGE>
The provisions affecting personal liability do not abrogate a
director's fiduciary duty to the Company and its shareholders, but eliminate
personal liability for monetary damages for breach of that duty. The provisions
do not, however, eliminate or limit the liability of a director for failing to
act in good faith, for engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly
violating a law, for authorizing the illegal payment of a dividend or
repurchase of stock, for obtaining an improper personal benefit, for breaching
a director's duty of loyalty (which is generally described as the duty not to
engage in any transaction which involves a conflict between the interest of the
Company and those of the director) or for violations of the federal securities
laws. The provisions also limit or indemnify against liability resulting from
grossly negligent decisions including grossly negligent business decisions
relating to attempts to change control of the Company.
The provisions regarding indemnification provide, in essence, that the
Company will indemnify its directors against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the
director's status as a director of the Company, including actions brought by or
on behalf of the Company (shareholder derivative actions). The provisions do
not require a showing of good faith. Moreover, they do not provide
indemnification for liability arising out of willful misconduct, fraud, or
dishonesty, for "short-swing" profits violations under the federal securities
laws, or for the receipt of illegal remuneration.
The provisions diminish the potential rights of action which might
otherwise be available to shareholders by limiting the liability of officers
and directors to the maximum extent allowable under Delaware law and by
affording indemnification against most damages and settlement amounts paid by a
director of the Company in connection with any shareholders' derivative action.
However, the provisions do not have the effect of limiting the right of a
shareholder to enjoin a director from taking actions in breach of his fiduciary
duty, or to cause the Company to rescind actions already taken, although as a
practical matter courts may be unwilling to grant such equitable remedies in
circumstances in which such actions have already been taken. Also, because the
Company does not presently have directors liability insurance and because there
is no assurance that the Company will procure such insurance or that if such
insurance is procured it will provide coverage to the extent directors would be
indemnified under the provisions, the Company may be forced to bear a portion
or all of the cost of the director's claims for indemnification under such
provisions. If the Company is forced to bear the costs for indemnification, the
value of the Company stock may be adversely affected. In the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 is contrary to public policy and, therefore,
is unenforceable.
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
The following information sets forth all securities of the Company
sold by it within the past three (3) years, which securities were not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended:
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 7,
1995. The Company has authorized capital of 25,000,000 shares of common stock,
$.001 par value. There are currently 3,596,332 shares of common stock issued
and outstanding. See "Principal Stockholders" and "Description of Securities."
On December 28, 1995, the Company issued 600,000 shares of its Common
Stock to Rolando Loera, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the
Company pursuant to the merger of the
II-2
<PAGE>
predecessor of the Company into the Company in exchange for the cancellation of
an equal number of shares in the predecessor company. The predecessor
corporation (TMCI Electronics, Inc.) was organized under the laws of California
on September 26, 1995 and had conducted no operations prior to the merger.
See "Principal Stockholders" and "Description of Securities."
The Company issued 893,600 shares of its Common Stock to Rolando Loera
and Rolando Loera, Trustee for Touche's Employee Stock Ownership Plan and three
officers of the Company (Jose Antonio Agredano, Frank Ramirez III and Livino
Ribaya, Jr.) pursuant to Stock Purchase Agreements dated as of December 28,
1995 in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding stock of Touche and TEI.
In November 1995, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 in a bridge loan
from the Selling Securityholders excluding for this purpose Rolando Loera) at
the rate of eight percent (8%) simple annual interest, which was paid at the
closing of the public offering from the net proceeds of the public offering.
400,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,200,000 Class A Warrants were issued to
the Selling Securityholders which were identical to the Class A Warrants
included in the Units being offered by the Company. The Shares of Common Stock,
Class A Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Class A Warrants
were registered in connection with that offering. The Company did not receive
any of the proceeds from the sale of the securities offered by the Selling
Securityholders. The Class A Warrants are redeemable upon certain conditions.
Should the Class A Warrants offered by the Selling Securityholders be
exercised, of which there is no assurance, the Company will receive the
proceeds therefrom aggregating up to an additional $6,600,000.
In November 1996, the Company issued 134,172 shares of Common Stock in
connection with the acquisition of certain assets from Pen Interconnect, Inc.
In January 1997, the Company issued 96,560 shares of Common Stock in
connection with the acquisition of Enterprise Industries, Inc.
On December 22, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement in
connection with the acquisition of Trinity Electronics, Inc. whereby the
Company is obligated to issue 404,539 shares of Common Stock.
The Company has relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, for its private placement exemption, such that the sales of the
securities were transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
All of the aforesaid securities have been appropriately marked with a
restricted legend and are "restricted securities," as defined in Rule 144 of
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
Washington, D.C. 20549. All of the aforesaid securities were issued for
investment purposes only and not with a view to redistribution, absent
registration. All of the aforesaid persons have been fully informed and advised
concerning the Registrant, its business, financial and other matters.
Transactions by the Registrant involving the sales of these securities set
forth above were issued pursuant to the "private placement" exemptions under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as transactions by an issuer not
involving any public offering. The Registrant has been informed that each
person is able to bear the economic risk of his investment and is aware that
the securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and cannot be re-offered or re-sold until they have been so registered
or until the availability of an exemption therefrom. The transfer agent and
registrar of the Registrant will
II-3
<PAGE>
be instructed to mark "stop transfer" on its ledgers to assure that these
securities will not be transferred absent registration or until the
availability of an exemption therefrom is determined.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to
participating broker-dealers, at the closing, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the participating
broker-dealers, to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
The undersigned Registrant also undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement;
(iii)To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
II-5
<PAGE>
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
preceding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
