</TABLE>
    NET SALES.  Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1997 
increased 33.5% to $33.8 million from $25.3 million for the comparable period 
of 1996. The increase is primarily due to sales to new customers beginning in 
late 1996 and higher sales to existing customers over the same period in 
1996. For the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1997, the Company's sales mix 
changed slightly from that of the comparable period of 1996, as assembly 
sales were slightly increased.
 
    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased 15.1% to $4.4 million for the 
thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1997, compared to $3.9 million for the same 
period of the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales ("Gross 
Margin") decreased to 13.1% for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1997, 
compared to 15.2% for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996. The Gross 
Margin decrease was due primarily to wage inflation without peso devaluation, 
in addition to a change in the business structure in some assembly contracts.
 
    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased 21.5% to $2.0 million and decreased as 
percentage of net sales 6.0%, for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1997, as 
compared to $1.7 million, or 6.6% of net sales, for the thirteen weeks ended 
March 31, 1996. This increase resulted in part from an increase in costs 
associated with personnel restructuring in several departments, in addition 
to an increase in other corporate expenses.
 
    OPERATING INCOME.  Operating income increased by 10.1% to $2.4 million, 
or 7.1% of net sales, for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1997, from $2.2 
million, or 8.6% of net sales, for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996. 
The decrease in operating income as a percentage of sales was mainly a result 
of the Gross Margin decrease explained above partially offset by the 
economies of scale in Selling, General and Administrative expense.
 
    INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense increased to $0.8 million, or 2.3% 
of net sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1997, from $0.8 million 
or 3.1% of net sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996. The 
estimated effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1997 was 
32%, compared to an estimated effective tax rate of 35% for the same period 
in 1996. The lower effective tax rate was due to an increased dollar value of 
net operating losses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
                                  6
<PAGE>
 
    During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1997, the Company had gross 
operating funds of $3.7 million, which consisted of net income of $1.7 
million plus depreciation and amortization of $1.0 million, in addition to 
deferred taxes and allowances of $1.0 million. This flow of funds financed a 
net increase in accounts and other receivables of $4.4 million and prepaid 
and other assets of $0.2 million, in addition to a decrease in accounts 
payable of $2.4 million, which were offset by a net decrease in inventories 
of $3.4 million, and increases in accrued expenses and other liabilities of 
$0.8 million, resulting in net cash provided by operations of $0.9 million. 
The increase in accounts receivable was due to the Company's increased net 
sales during the period. The decrease in inventory was due to increased 
turnover in inventories and a line of products phasing out. Cash provided by 
operations allowed the Company to pay down $0.1 million of capital lease 
obligations and to invest $0.7 million in property, plant and equipment.
 
The Company had the following lines of credit, outstanding borrowings and 
significant capital leases at March 30, 1997:
