                        ASD GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-QSB.
Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete
consolidated financial statements are not included herein. It is recommended
that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes of ASD Group, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company") contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 27, 1997. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included.

NOTE 2 - PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK

         In May 1997, the Company completed an Initial Public Offering of
945,000 shares of common stock at $5.75 per share (the "Offering"). Prior to the
Offering, there was no public market for the Company's common stock. The net
proceeds of the Offering, after deducting applicable issuance costs and
expenses, was approximately $3,890,000. The net proceeds of the Offering were
used primarily to repay certain indebtedness, increase staffing and purchase
inventory and capital assets.

NOTE 3 - REFINANCING

         On December 19, 1997, the Company completed a refinancing of its
indebtedness and secured a new credit facility with an increased borrowing
limit. The Company's new revolving line of credit with PNC Business Credit
permits borrowings of up to $8,750,000 at prime plus 1/2% and expires on
December 19, 2002 (the "Line of Credit"). The Line of Credit is secured by a
first lien on the Company's assets. The amount available for borrowings under
the Line of Credit is determined pursuant to a formula based upon the Company's
eligible accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment. As of March
27, 1998, $4,212,000 was outstanding under the Line of Credit and based on the
availability formula the Company had $145,000 available for additional
borrowings. Approximately $3,800,000 of the Line of Credit was used to repay the
existing revolving credit agreement, and machinery and equipment loan with
Bankers Trust Company. On that date, the Company entered into a three year term
loan with Bankers Trust Company for $2,801,000 at 10%. The term loan is secured
by a second lien on the Company's assets . The three year term loan replaces the
existing mortgage payable notes with Bankers Trust Company. On May 31, 1996, the
Company entered into an agreement with Bankers Trust Company which will permit
the Company to repay its indebtedness to Bankers Trust Company at a discount of
approximately $460,000. Under the terms of such loan agreement with Bankers
Trust Company, the discount will be earned when the unpaid principal balance of
the three year term loan reaches $460,000.

         The loan agreements with both PNC Business Credit and Bankers Trust
Company contain certain restrictive financial covenants. At March 27, 1998 the
Company was not in compliance with the covenants of both PNC Business Credit and
Bankers Trust Company loan agreements. Management of the Company has had and
continues to have discussions with PNC Business Credit regarding the Company's
lack of compliance and financing needs.

         Subsequent to March 27, 1998, the Company has entered into an agreement
with PNC Business Credit providing the Company with an additional $200,000
over-advance which is due May 22, 1998. As of May 15, 1998 the Company has used
$181,000 of the over-advance with $19,000 yet available. Without additional
financing it is unlikely that on May 22, 1998 the Company will be able to repay
the additional over-advance and meet all the Company's current operating
obligations. The Company is currently seeking additional financing. In addition,
the Company is exploring strategic alternatives, including a possible merger or
acquisition, with a view to enhancing shareholder value. However, there is no
guarantee that such efforts will be successful.

NOTE 4 - INVENTORY

         The components of inventory at March 27, 1998 are as follows:

                      Raw materials . . . . . . . . . . .     $    573,006

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

         ASD Group, Inc. (the "Company") cautions readers that certain important
factors may affect the Company's actual results and could cause such results to
differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to
have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on behalf of the
Company. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Report that are not
statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may," "will,"
"expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "would," "estimate," or
"continue" or the negative other variations thereof or comparable terminology
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but
are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with a contract
manufacturing company which is dependent upon a small number of large companies,
a limited history of profitability, dependence upon key personnel, need for
future capital and dependence upon certain industries. Additionally, the Company
is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with all contract
manufacturing companies including variability of customer requirements and
customer financing, limited availability of components and a market
characterized by rapidly changing technology and continuing process development.
The Company is also subject to other risks detailed herein or detailed from time
to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OVERVIEW

         The Company provides comprehensive contract manufacturing and
engineering services to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs.") The Company
was formed in 1965 to provide design and engineering services to IBM's main
frame computer development and manufacturing operations in New York's Hudson
Valley ("IBM-Hudson Valley"). Over a 25-year period, the Company's relationship
with IBM-Hudson Valley evolved to the point where by the mid-1980's the Company
assembled, wired and tested a significant portion of IBM-Hudson Valley's main
frame computers. IBM Hudson Valley became the Company's principal customer,
providing over 90% of its revenues. Commencing in 1990, IBM-Hudson Valley's main
frame sales began to decline due to the recession and the shift in technology to
personal computer-based systems. In December 1992, IBM-Hudson Valley eliminated
the use of substantially all main frame assembly vendors, including the Company.
As a result, the Company had significant reductions in revenues and incurred
substantial losses. Accordingly, during 1993 and 1994 the Company undertook a
restructuring of its operations wherein it implemented a significant downsizing,
re-engineered its operations and commenced intensive efforts to market its
contract manufacturing services to other OEMs. While the IBM-Hudson Valley
downsizing greatly affected the Company, management believes that its
relationship with IBM-Hudson Valley permitted the Company to evolve into a
vertically integrated contract manufacturer with a well disciplined quality
control program.

         In May 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"IPO") of 945,000 shares of common stock at $5.75 per share. A portion of the
net proceeds of approximately $3,890,000 were used to repay $2,000,000 of
outstanding debt.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 27, 1998 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 28,
1997

         For the three months ended March 27, 1998, the Company's net sales
decreased by $710,000 or 18.3% to $3,164,000 from $3,874,000 for the three
months ended March 28, 1997. The decrease in sales was due to a recent slowdown
experienced by several large customers which resulted in the cutting back of
orders.

         Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 27, 1998 decreased
by $342,000 or 11.6% to $2,619,000 from $2,961,000 for the three months ended
March 28, 1997. The decrease in cost of goods sold is primarily the result of
the decrease in sales. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased by
6.4% from 23.6% for the three months ended March 28, 1997 to 17.2% for the three
months ended March 27, 1998. The decreased gross profit percentage was primarily
due to the reduction in orders.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three
months ended March 27, 1998 by $159,000 or 19.3% to $984,000 from $825,000 for
the three months ended March 28, 1997. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses is primarily the result of a change in the rate of
overtime pay, additional insurance costs and legal and consulting fees related
to post initial public offering activities and retroactive pay adjustments. It
is anticipated that certain of these additional expenses will be recurring.

         Interest expense decreased for the three months ended March 27, 1998 by
$154,000 or 35.6% to $277,000 from $431,000 for the three months ended March 28,
1997. The decrease in interest expense reflects a net reduction in debt as a
result of a portion of the proceeds of the initial public offering used to repay
debt.

         Benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 27, 1998 is
$294,000 as compared to a benefit of $140,000 for the three months ended March
28, 1997. The Company recorded a tax benefit from the loss during the period
ended March 27, 1998 and March 28, 1997.

         The Company incurred a loss before income tax benefit and net loss of
$702,000 and $407,000, respectively, during the three months ended March 27,
1998, as compared to a loss before income taxes and a net loss of $334,000 and
$194,000, respectively, during the three months ended March 28, 1997.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 27, 1998 AS COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 28, 1997

         For the nine months ended March 27, 1998, the Company's net sales
increased by $715,000 or 5.9% to $12,799,000 from $12,084,000 for the nine
months ended March 28, 1997. The increase in sales was a result of the Company
completing a $2,600,000 contract to manufacture equipment used in the production
of fiber optics in the first six months of the fiscal year. The increase in
sales noted was offset by a reduction in orders by several of the Company's
largest customers.

         Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended March 27, 1998 increased
by $1,006,000 or 11.2% to $10,000,000 from $8,994,000 for the nine months ended
March 28, 1997. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily the result of
the increase of sales. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased by
3.7% from 25.6% for the nine months ended March 28, 1997 to 21.9% for the nine
months ended March 27, 1998. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of
sales reflects the lower gross profit percentage on the aforementioned
$2,600,000 contract and the reduction in orders.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the nine
months ended March 27, 1998 by $636,000 or 24.8% to $3,203,000 from $2,567,000
for the nine months ended March 28, 1997. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses is primarily the result of a change in the rate of
overtime pay, additional insurance costs and legal and consulting fees related
to post initial public offering activities and retroactive pay adjustments. It
is anticipated that certain of these additional expenses will be recurring

         Interest expense decreased for the nine months ended March 27, 1998 by
$369,000 or 30.8% to $828,000 from $1,197,000 for the nine months ended March
28, 1997. The decrease in interest expense reflects a net reduction in debt as a
result of a portion of the proceeds of the initial public offering used to repay
debt.

         Benefit for income tax for the nine months ended March 27, 1998 is
$504,000 as compared to a benefit of $258,000 for the nine months ended March
28, 1997. The Company recorded a tax benefit from the loss during the periods
ended March 27, 1998 and March 28, 1997.

         The Company incurred a loss before income tax benefit and a net loss of
$1,200,000 and $696,000, respectively, during the nine months ended March 27,
1998, as compared to a loss before income taxes and a net loss of $615,000 and
$357,000, respectively, during the nine months ended March 28, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

         Net cash used in operation was $856,000 for the nine months ended March
27, 1998 as compared to $71,000 used in operations for the nine months ended
March 28, 1997. The increase in cash used in operations was primarily the result
of the net loss incurred during the period. Net cash provided by financing
activities during the nine months ended March 27, 1998 was $268,000. During this
period, $7,575,000 was provided from borrowings, $7,062,000 of long-term debt
was repaid, $223,000 of financing costs were incurred and payments of deferred
compensation of $22,000 were made. Working capital decreased to $(2,150,000) at
March 27, 1998 from $3,240,000 at March 28, 1997. The decrease in working
capital is the result of the Company being in default on the loans due to PNC
Business Credit and the Banker Trust Company resulting in the total amount due
of $6,963,000 being reclassified to current liabilities.

REFINANCING

         The amount available for borrowings under the Line of Credit is
determined pursuant to a formula based upon the Company's eligible accounts
receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment. As of March 27, 1998, $4,029,000
was outstanding under the Line of Credit and the Company had $4,721,000
available for additional borrowings.

         On December 19, 1997, the Company completed a refinancing of its
indebtedness and secured a new credit facility with an increased borrowing
limit. The Company's new revolving line of credit with PNC Business Credit
permits borrowings of up to $8,750,000 at prime plus 1/2% and expires on
December 19, 2002 (the "Line of Credit"). The Line of Credit is secured by a
first lien on the Company's assets. The amount available for borrowings under
the Line of Credit is determined pursuant to a formula based upon the Company's
eligible accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment. As of March
27, 1998, $4,212,000 was outstanding under the Line of Credit and based on the
availability formula the Company had $145,000 available for additional
borrowings. Approximately $3,800,000 of the Line of Credit was used to repay the
existing revolving credit agreement, and machinery and equipment loan with
Bankers Trust Company. On that date, the Company entered into a three year term
loan with Bankers Trust Company for $2,801,000 at 10%. The term loan is secured
by a second lien on the Company's assets . The three year term loan replaces the
existing mortgage payable notes with Bankers Trust Company. On May 31, 1996, the
Company entered into an agreement with Bankers Trust Company which will permit
the Company to repay its indebtedness to Bankers Trust Company at a discount of
approximately $460,000. Under the terms of such loan agreement with Bankers
Trust Company, the discount will be earned when the unpaid principal balance of
the three year term loan reaches $460,000.

         The loan agreements with both PNC Business Credit and Bankers Trust
Company contain certain restrictive financial covenants. At March 27, 1998 the
Company was not in compliance with the covenants of both PNC Business Credit and
Bankers Trust Company loan agreements.

         Subsequent to March 27, 1998, the Company has entered into an agreement
with PNC Business Credit providing the Company with an additional $200,000
over-advance which is due May 22, 1998. As of May 15, 1998 the Company has used
$181,000 of the over-advance with $19,000 yet available. Without additional
financing it is unlikely that on May 22, 1998 the Company will be able to repay
the additional over-advance and meet all the Company's current operating
obligations. The Company is currently seeking additional financing. However,
there is no guarantee that such efforts will be successful.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.   Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

         On May 12, 1997, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission declared
effective the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (SEC File Number
333-7731). The offering of the securities registered pursuant to the
Registration Statement commenced on May 13, 1997. The IPO terminated after the
sale of 945,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share
(the "Common Stock"), for $5.75 per share. The managing underwriter for the IPO
was H. J. Meyers & Co., Inc.

         In connection with the IPO, the Company incurred expenses of
approximately $1,544,000. These expenses were in the form of direct or indirect
