ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

         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, upon key
personnel and upon certain industries as well as a company which has a limited
history of profitability and a need for additional capital. 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 24, 2000 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 26,
1999

         For the three months ended March 24, 2000, the Company's net sales
decreased by $202,000 or 6.9% to $2,706,000 from $2,908,000 for the three months
ended March 26, 1999. The Company experienced longer lead times and tight supply
conditions for electronic components used in its semiconductor and
telecommunications businesses.

         Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 24, 2000 increased
by $407,000 or approximately 22.8% to $2,189,000 from $1,782,000 for the three
months ended March 26, 1999. This was primarily the result of an increase in the
proportion of sales with a higher percentage of parts to labor and higher
material and shipping costs arising from material shortages.

         Total operating expenses decreased for the three months ended March 24,
2000 by $255,000 or 22.2% to $891,000 from $1,145,000 for the three months ended
March 26, 1999. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $31,000 or 29% as the
Company increased its marketing efforts to target new business. However, general
and administrative expenses decreased by $286,000 or 27.5% to $753,000 from
$1,039,000. Lower professional fees, reduced staffing levels and tighter control
on general and administrative expenditures were major factors in the reduction.

                                        5

<PAGE>

         Interest expense decreased for the three months ended March 24, 2000 by
$26,000 or 16% to $136,000 from $162,000 for the three months ended March 26,
1999. The decrease in interest expense results from a net reduction in borrowing
levels over the period.

         The Company incurred a loss before extraordinary gain of $509,000
during the three months ended March 24, 2000, as compared to a loss of $181,000
for the three months ended March 26, 1999. Cost savings from reduced expenses
were offset by lower sales volumes and decreased profit margins, during the
latest quarter.

         Net loss per share for the three months ended March 24, 2000 was $0.04
compared to net income per share of $0.55 for the three months ended March 26,
1999. The income in 1999 resulted from an extraordinary gain from debt
restructuring of $2,836,000, net of preferred stock dividends of $943,000, in
the three months ended March 26, 1999.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 24, 2000 AS COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 26, 1999

         For the nine months ended March 24, 2000, the Company's net sales
increased by $1,679,000 or 25% to $8,403,000 from $6,724,000 for the nine months
ended March 26, 1999. The increase in sales was primarily the result of
increased sales efforts and additional marketing expenditures by management and
the Company's sales team during the last nine months.

         Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended March 24, 2000 increased
by $223,000 or 3% to $6,610,000 from $6,387,000 for the nine months ended March
26, 1999. Increased raw material costs and tight supply conditions in the third
quarter of 2000 negatively affected the year to date cost of goods sold. Despite
this, gross profit margin improved favorable from 5% of net sales for the nine
months ended March 26, 1999 to 21.3% of sales over the comparable nine month
period of this year. This resulted in an overall increase in gross profit of
$1,456,000. The gross profit for the nine months ended March 26, 1999 was
negatively affected by a write down of inventory. During the latest period,
management has tightly monitored inventory levels and direct labor efficiencies
in a continued effort to improve profitability. The Company continues to benefit
from settlements with vendors on past due amounts and the Company's former
insurance carrier.

         Total operating expenses decreased for the nine months ended March 24,
2000 by $994,000 or 28.7% to $2,464,000 from $3,458,000 for the nine months
ended March 26, 1999. The general and administrative expenses decreased due to a
decrease in professional fees as well as settlements with some of the Company's
professionals as well as management efforts in controlling expenditures in all
other general and administrative areas.

         Interest expense decreased for the nine months ended March 24, 2000 by
$168,000 or 29% to $420,000 from $588,000 for the nine months ended March 26,
1999. The decrease in interest expense results from reduced borrowing levels by
the Company over the latest nine month period.

         The Company incurred a loss before extraordinary gain of $1,106,000
during the nine months ended March 24, 2000 compared to a loss before
extraordinary gain of $3,708,000 for the nine months ended March 26, 1999.

         Loss applicable to common stockholders improved by $610,000 or 33.6% to
$1,206,000 from $1,816,000 after an extraordinary gain from debt restructuring
of $2,836,000 during the nine months ended March 26, 1999 and preferred stock
dividends of $100,000 and $943,000 during the respective periods. The dividends
arose to record the beneficial conversion feature relating to the convertible
preferred stock.

         Net loss per basic and diluted common shares was $0.10 for the nine
months ended March 24, 2000 compared to a loss of $0.77 in the nine months ended
March 26, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

         Net cash used in operations was $815,000 for the nine months ended
March 24, 2000 as compared to $3,446,000 used in operations for the nine months
ended March 26, 1999. Cash was used to fund operating losses in both periods.
After accounting for non-cash items, net cash used in operations decreased
primarily as a result of reduced inventory levels.

                                        6

<PAGE>

         Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended
March 24, 2000 was $876,000 as compared to $3,481,000 for the nine months ended
March 26, 1999. Overall, the Company generated a net increase in cash of
$58,000.

         Working capital showed a deficiency of $3,381,000 at March 24, 2000
from a deficiency of $2,841,000 at March 26, 1999. Working capital is lower, in
part, because the PNC Bank revolving line of credit which has a due date of
October 30, 2000, is being classified as a current liability in the latest
period.

LINE OF CREDIT

         The Company's revolving bank line of credit (the "Line of Credit")
currently permits borrowings of up to $5,000,000. The amount available for
borrowings under the Line of Credit is determined pursuant to a formula based
upon the Company's eligible machinery, equipment, accounts receivable and
inventory plus an overadvance by the bank of $1,500,000. As of March 24, 2000,
$4,613,000 was outstanding under the Line of Credit and the Company had no
additional borrowings available. PNC Bank has agreed to keep the Company's
existing credit facility in place at least through October 30, 2000, with a one
year extension, provided that certain conditions are met and no events of
default occur.
