PART I
ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
American Custom Components, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("ACC-NV" or the
"Company"), was incorporated on December 31, 1991 as Rainbow Bridge Services,
Inc. ("Rainbow"). Effective August 15, 1997, Rainbow, which had no assets or
operations, acquired all of the outstanding common stock of American Custom
Components, Inc., a California corporation incorporated on April 18, 1994
("ACC-CA"). Following the acquisition, Rainbow changed its name to American
Custom Components, Inc. In October 1997, the Company acquired ninety-eight
percent (98%) of the issued and outstanding stock of Caribbean Electronics,
Ltd., a St. Lucian corporation incorporated on February 13, 1986 ("CEL").
Effective January 31, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common
stock of K5 Plastics, Inc., a California corporation incorporated on February 8,
1983 ("K5"). Finally, on March 16, 1999, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of Loyd International, Inc., a Wyoming corporation
("Loyd"). The Company is a holding company for its four (4) subsidiaries,
ACC-CA, CEL, K5 and Loyd.
Through its subsidiaries, the Company is engaged in the business of providing
electronic assemblies (connectors and related parts) for use in multiple
applications ranging from general commodities such as industrial supply products
to specialized components such as high technology computer and peripheral
interconnect systems. The Company offers design, assembly/test and shipment of a
wide variety of connector components and offers the design, assembly and test of
specialized tooling for use in the production of various injected plastic molded
products. The Company also offers low cost subcontract assembly in its off shore
production facility. The Company has targeted five major market segments that
all benefit from the Company's offerings. Those segments are:
Telecommunication - Industrial - Medical - Computer
Peripheral - General Products
The Company offers its technology customers a solution to many of their
electronic connector needs. The primary products offered are connector and
interconnect systems and a variety of metal tools used in the production of
injected plastic components. Components used in the connector and interconnect
systems include plastic housings which are designed, tooled and produced
in-house, thereby reducing production costs.
Services include designing and building custom tooling for plastic injection
molding applications and designing and manufacturing interconnect components
using injected plastic housings and metal contacts.
The Company offers the customer low cost and fast turnaround on designs, samples
and production of both standard and custom interconnect systems. The Company
believes that its competitive advantage is its ability to provide system level
design support, faster than the competition, in a market that traditionally
relies on "catalog sales." The Company provides services and products that
create fast time-to-volume for its customers. Its strategy is to identify the
weaknesses of the competition, offer products and services that satisfy customer
needs and penetrate selected market niches using its core competence for
competitive advantage. Customers currently include Motorola, Western Digital,
Iomega, Allied Manufacturers, Mattel, Polaris Pools, Calluna, GE Fanuc, Hughes
Aircraft, Thermador, Smartflex, Westlock, Medtrex, Linear Technology, Furon and
Adflex.
The Company's strategy is to continue to expand its custom connector and
subcontract assembly business in Santa Ana, California and to continue expanding
its 12,000 square foot manufacturing capability in St. Lucia. The Company
intends to use the St. Lucia plant to assemble and distribute products for
worldwide customers and to undertake manufacturing and molding. The Company
intends to manufacture critical molds and tooling at the Santa Ana facility and
ship them to the St. Lucia plant for use in volume production.
The corporate offices of the Company and its subsidiaries are located at 3310 W.
MacArthur Boulevard, Santa Ana, California 92704. The telephone number is (714)
662-2080.
THE ELECTRONICS CONNECTOR MARKETPLACE
According to Ken Fleck in Electronic Buyers News, the worldwide electronic
connector sales by end-use equipment were approximately $23.4 billion in 1997
and will be approximately $24.9 billion in 1998. Virtually every electric or
electronic product utilizes electronic connectors of varying sophistication. To
date, the Company's principal activities in the electronic connector marketplace
<PAGE>
have principally focused in the computer disk drive segment of that marketplace.
In recent years, this computer disk drive industry has been driven by extremely
high competitive pressures in terms of storage capacity, performance and
pricing, among other factors, and is characterized by frequent new product
introductions, short product life spans, and the need for high quality and
reliability. The Company seeks to address this market with quick response times,
which the Company also sells to other segments such as industrial and
telecommunications components.
Electronic connectors are generally comprised of contact material, generally
metallic, to transmit electric current, and insulating materials such as nylon,
to hold the contact material in proper positioning, to link the connector to
another connector or component and to insulate the contact material. Connectors
must be designed to accommodate the number and size of electrical contacts to be
joined, voltage and current, and to fit space and other requirements. Precise
manufacturing tolerances and quality control are essential, since electrical
short circuits or open circuits caused by a connector can render equipment
inoperable or cause expensive damage.
The Company's product cycle includes the following major stages: sales;
engineering and design; sourcing; tooling; manufacturing; packaging and
delivery, and to a lesser extent, contract customer repair work.
MARKETING AND SALES
The Company's sales efforts are primarily directed by the key managers of each
of the respective services; molding, mold tooling operations, sub contract
services, and connector/interconnect assemblies. The Company's marketing
strategy has been based on providing rapid design, engineering, tooling, molding
and assembly for its clients' custom connector requirements. To date, the
primary market for the Company's products has been disk drive manufacturers, but
the Company has also diversified its marketing to aerospace firms building
electronic assemblies for the U.S. military, and tooling for injected plastic
mold parts.
The Company primarily sells its products through numerous manufacturers
representatives, which can be terminated at any time. All sales orders are
subject to approval by the Company. No marketing or sales efforts are made
through subsidiaries of the Company.
MANUFACTURING, PACKAGING AND DELIVERY
The connector manufacturing process primarily consists of injection molding and
assembly. Where possible, and to provide higher quality and output, the Company
manufactures its own packaging materials. Since most of the Company's products
are small, many shipments can be made via overnight delivery services or counter
to counter airline freight to non-local customers. The Company seeks to
manufacture its products to applicable specification requirements.
In October 1997 the Company acquired a 12,000 square foot assembly plant in
Vieux Fort, St. Lucia. The Company has used and intends to use the St. Lucia
plant to assemble for worldwide customers. The Company intends to manufacture
critical molds and tooling at the Santa Ana facility and ship them to the St.
Lucia plant by overnight delivery service. The St. Lucia plant also performs
subcontract assembly services.
In addition to its own manufacturing requirements, which are satisfied by ACC-CA
and K5, the Company also designs and manufactures tools for outside customers.
The principal components of the Company's products include nylon and contact
materials such as brass, copper, nickel, gold, silver, aluminum, steel, tin,
solder, and nuts, screws and bolts. Prior to acceptance by the Company, all
materials and components undergo quality assurance procedures. All materials and
components used in the Company's products are available from several sources.
Although availability of such materials has been adequate to date, no assurance
can be given that cost increases or material shortages or allocations imposed by
suppliers in the future will not have a materially adverse effect on the
operations of the Company.
The Company's principal suppliers include Central MN Tool and Stamping, Inc.,
Electronic Plating Services, Fry Steel Co., Hasco Internorm Corp., Nascal
Interplex, Inc., Phantom Tool and Die, Plastic Resources, Inc., Precision
Components, Safe Plating, Inc., and Skyler International.
<PAGE>
CUSTOMERS OF THE COMPANY
The Company currently has five customers that in the aggregate represent 65% of
the total sales for its last two fiscal years. One of its five major customers
filed for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws subsequent to March 31,
1997. The Company has collected substantially all of its open accounts
receivable from such customer. The Company anticipates that it will continue to
rely upon these customers during the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999.
The Company has diversified its customer base and, in fact, over the last six
months as much as 65% of total sales were to customers other than the five
mentioned above.
SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITIONS
In October 1997, the Company acquired ninety-eight percent (98%) of the issued
and outstanding stock of Caribbean Electronics, Ltd., a St. Lucian corporation,
for $25,000 cash, a $100,000 note at an interest rate of 8% per annum, and 8,333
restricted shares of the Company's common stock. In connection with the
acquisition, the Company also assumed certain accounts payable of approximately
$25,000. Caribbean Electronics, Ltd. is an electronic parts assembly business
located on the island of St. Lucia. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase. The acquisition of Caribbean Electronics, Ltd. included acquisition of
a manufacturing and assembly facility which the Company intends to utilize for
its existing and new customers.
Effective January 31, 1998 the Company acquired K5 Plastics, Inc. ("K5"), a
tooling and mold manufacturer through the purchase of one hundred percent (100%)
of its issued and outstanding shares of stock. The Company acquired K5 for
$42,000 in cash, a $50,000 note at an interest rate of 10% per annum, and 25,000
shares of restricted common stock. Also, the Company delivered 60,000 warrants
with an exercise price of $3.00. Of these warrants, 30,000 are exercisable at
any time in the next two to five years and the remaining 30,000 are exercisable
at any time in the next three to six years. The Company has also assumed a K5
note payable to Union Bank of California in the amount of approximately $12,000
bearing an interest rate of 11% per annum and a line of credit to Union Bank of
California with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $50,000 at an
adjustable interest rate currently at 11.25%.
On March 16, 1999, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock
of Loyd International, Inc., a Wyoming corporation. In connection with the
transaction, (i) the Company's then-largest shareholder, Martin Tony Walk,
exchanged an aggregate of 4,972,000 shares of common stock for 500,000 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) the Company issued an aggregate of
1,600,000 shares of common stock to Edward Loyd, the sole shareholder of Loyd
International, Inc., and an Officer and Director of the Company, (iii) the
Company paid the sum of $11,000 to Mr. Walk and entered into a consulting
contract with him, (iv) the Company entered into an Assignment of Assets and
Assumption of Liabilities with Mr. Walk with respect to the assets and
liabilities of the Company as they related to Tagnology, Inc., and (v) the
Company agreed to assume all tax liabilities of Mr. Walk incurred as a result of
the transaction.
Management does not currently have any plans or arrangements for additional
acquisitions or other new ventures.
PATENTS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company and its subsidiaries generally own the design rights for the
connectors it manufactures, but does not generally rely upon patent protection
for its connectors but rather believes that the short lifespan and time to
market for products provides sufficient intellectual property protection for its
products. There can be no assurance that competitors of the Company do not have
competing patents which may preclude certain aspects of the Company's designs,
that competitors may reverse engineer and create competitive products to those
of the Company or that other technological protection can be obtained for the
Company's products. No assurance can be given that patents will be granted on
future patent applications. The Company has one trademark application pending.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company believes it is in compliance with federal, state and local
regulations with respect to environmental protection. The Company does not
anticipate that costs of compliance with such regulations will have a material
effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
<PAGE>
The Company, through its CEL subsidiary, operates in a foreign jurisdiction and,
as set forth in the auditor's report, is exposed to certain risks associated
therewith. These risks include currency differences and fluctuations, political
events and the status of relationships among governments, labor restrictions,
and overall market and economic conditions. Specifically, it is imperative that
the government of St. Lucia continue to support business on the island through
training and assisting in appeasing union negotiators as well as continue to
make improvements to roads, communication, and port facilities. Asian economic
volatility has currently slowed sales growth within the market. Management
believes that its marketing plan and the marketing plans of its major customers
are well positioned to deal with such uncertainties.
EMPLOYEES
The Company and its subsidiaries have approximately 100 employees (42 of which
are primarily part-time), including two officers, seven administrative
personnel, four in engineering, 79 in manufacturing, and eight in quality
control. Sales and marketing is undertaken primarily by four external sales
representation firms. Other than officers and directors, none of the Company's
subsidiaries have employees.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company expended approximately $190,000 in fiscal year 1998 for research and
development activities related to its manufacturing processes. Of such amount,
approximately $50,000 was reimbursed to the Company from its customers. None of
the Company's subsidiaries expended material sums for research and development.
COMPETITION
The Connector Business
The electronic connector business consists of a few very large entities, each
with annual sales over $1 billion per year. These companies include AMP, Berg,
Robinson Nugent, Molex, and many smaller companies with annual revenues between
$10 million and $100 million. The Company is small compared to the marketplace,
and competes against its larger competitors by offering "custom application"
components in a shorter time and for a lower cost. The Company is able to
compete on cost as a result of its off-shore manufacturing. In the event,
however, that its more-adequately financed and larger competition were to focus
their efforts on shorter turn-around times, they could materially erode the
Company's market share and have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial performance.
The Tooling Business
The Company entered the plastic tooling business when it acquired K5. K5 was in
the business of selling tooling services and mold making to a set of customers
at the time of the acquisition, and the Company continues to support and expand
the outside customer base inherited in the acquisition. The Company also uses
the capabilities of K5 for its in-house manufacturing of tools used in the
production of plastic components used in final assemblies.
The tooling industry consists of competitors that make their own tooling for
their own use, as well as small to medium sized companies that sell to outside
customers. The majority of the competition in the tooling segment are very small
machine shops, privately held and located in the United States. The Company,
through K5, offers a unique set of capabilities with very fast turn around times
that give customers a quick time-to-market. However, existing customers could
elect to vertically integrate and provide the now-subcontracted services
in-house, a move which, if followed by a substantial number of the Company's
customers, could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial
performance.
Subcontract Services Business
The Company entered the subcontract services business when it acquired CEL. CEL
was in the business of providing subcontract manufacturing services to outside
customers. The Company uses CEL both as an in-house manufacturing plant with low
cost labor as well as a plant to service outside customers inherited in the
acquisition.
<PAGE>
Competition in the Caribbean region is minimal, with most of the competition for
these services coming from the Far East. The Company uses the CEL facilities for
shipment to customers located in the European Economic Community as the island
nation is a protectorate of Great Britain and participates in the European
Trading Community. If competitors were to locate on the island of St. Lucia, the
Company could be effected by the reduced skilled labor available to the Company.
YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, the Company began the process of
identifying, evaluating, and implementing changes to its computer programs
necessary to address the Year 2000 issue. The Company has currently addressed
its internal Year 2000 issue by modification of existing programs and
conversions to new programs. While the Company is confident that it has
successfully completed the assessment and remediation of its computer software,
there can be no assurance that the necessary modifications and conversions will
be adequate or completely thorough, which could have a material adverse effect
on its results of operations. The total cost to the Company associated with the
required modifications and conversions was not material to the Company's results
of operations and financial position and was expensed as incurred.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that are
subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties, and the Company's
actual results could differ materially from those forward-looking statements.
The following discussion regarding the financial statements of the Company
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto.
OVERVIEW
The Company, together with its subsidiaries, has its primary operations located
in Santa Ana, California where it is currently engaged in the business of
designing and manufacturing electronic components and plastic injection tools
for computers, disk drives, computer systems, military applications, medical,
telecommunications and certain industrial devices. In August 1997, the Company
(which at the time was named Rainbow Bridge Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("Rainbow")) acquired all of the outstanding common stock of ACC-CA in a
business combination described as a "reverse acquisition." As such, the
historical financial statements are those of ACC-CA and the accounts of Rainbow
have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements from the August
1997 date of the acquisition. In October 1997, the Company acquired ninety-eight
percent (98%) of the issued and outstanding stock of Caribbean Electronics, Ltd.
("CEL"), an electronic components manufacturer, housed in a leased 12,000 square
foot assembly plant located on the island of St. Lucia. As of January 31, 1998,
the Company acquired one-hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding
stock and assumed certain debts of K5 Plastics, Inc., a California corporation
("K5"), a mold and tooling manufacturer and a previous vendor. K5 has been
consolidated with the Company's Santa Ana facility.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company's revenues
were derived principally from the following products:
i. Electrical components for disk drives
ii. Military and industrial connectors
For the year ended March 31, 1998, revenues were $2,583,094. This is an increase
of 4.4% from $2,473,095 recorded for the year ended March 31, 1997. The increase
was due to increased sales efforts arising from the Company's external sales
force. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, revenues were $718,748.
<PAGE>
GROSS MARGINS
The Company realized a gross margin of $1,059,399 reported for the year ended
March 31, 1998. This is an increase of 47.2% over $719,652 for the year ended
March 31, 1997. The increase is due to a shift of some final assembly operations
from Southern California to the plant in St. Lucia, which provided a lower cost
of labor and favorable overall economic conditions for the region. The gross
margin as a percentage of revenues was 41% for the year ended March 31, 1998 and
29% for the year ended March 31, 1997. The Company realized a gross margin of
$256,659 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996. The gross margin as a
percentage of revenues was 36% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.
Operating income was a negative $672,998 for the year ended March 31, 1998. This
is a decrease of 558% from $147,019 recorded for the year ended March 31, 1997.
The decrease is due to a decrease in sales volume during the last three months
of the fiscal year. Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses were
increased during the second and third quarter in response to indications of
continued increasing sales. The reaction time to correct this expense increase
resulted in lower income from operations, which also resulted in a decreased net
income. Operating income was a negative $71,758 for the fiscal year ended March
31, 1996.
OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSE
Operating costs and expenses increased by $1,159,764 (203%) for the year ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the year ended March 31, 1997. The increase was
due primarily to the increased cost of sales associated with sales commissions
to representatives and the hiring of certain key personnel. These new employees
come from some of the Company's largest customers, bringing with them certain
knowledge specific to the industry. Operating costs and expenses increased by
$244,216 (74%) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE
Total other operating expenses, consisting primarily of bad debt expense,
payroll taxes, rent, telephone and utilities, printing, and office supplies,
increased by $296,050 (226%) for the year ended March 31, 1998 as compared to
the year ended March 31, 1997. This increase was due in large part to the
conversion of a significant percentage of the Company's labor force from
independent contractors to Company employees. Total other operating expenses
decreased by $11,555 (8%) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 as compared
to the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.
NET INCOME
Net income for the year ended March 1998 was a negative $773,263 compared to
$77,342 for the year ended March 1997, a 1100% decrease. As stated earlier, this
decrease was due primarily to a decreased sales volume during the last three
months of the fiscal year while SG&A expenses were increased during the second
and third quarter in response to indications of continued increasing sales.
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Total assets increased from $759,145 as of the year ended March 1997 to
$1,486,046 as of the year ended March 1998. This increase of 95% was due
primarily to the inclusion of assets as a result of the acquisitions of CEL and
K5. Inventory increased from $75,410 as of the year ended March 1997 to $227,465
(201%) as of the year ended March 1998 due to a slow down in shipments during
the first quarter of 1998. Net property and equipment increased from $245,556 as
of the year ended March 1997 to $750,371 (a 205% increase) as of the year ended
March 1998 primarily as a result of the acquisitions described above.
Total liabilities increased from $791,276 for the period ended March 1997 to
$1,119,606 (a 41% increase) for the period ended March 1998 due to an increase
in accounts payable (an increase from $238,708 to $456,977, or 91%) and the
addition of notes payable, net of current portion. The accounts payable increase
resulted from increased trade payables as the CEL and K5 acquisitions occurred.
The other increase in total liabilities came from the creation of notes payable
during the reverse merger.
<PAGE>
SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Shareholders Equity increased from a negative $32,131 as of the period ended
March 1997 to $366,440 as of the period ended March 1998. This increase of 1240%
reflects the negative earnings reported for the period ended March 1998
($773,263) and the issuance of shares and related additional paid-in capital
raised during the fiscal year from private offerings of the Company's securities
($1,171,834).
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 1998
Sales for the six months ended September 1998 were $832,011. Gross profit was
$410,614, or 49.35%, an increase of 8.3% over the period ended March 31, 1998.
The Company's net income was a negative $57,794.
Sales continued to decline following the end of the 1998 fiscal year, primarily
due to a slow down in the marketplace. The decrease in sales occurred faster
than the Company could adjust the SG&A costs, thus resulting in a net loss for
the period. However, overhead expenses were reduced as a percentage of sales.
Total assets increased from $1,486,046 to $1,712,961, while inventory was
reduced from $227,465 to $161,643. Owners equity increased from $366,440 to
$616,146.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In August 1997, the Company (which at the time was designated Rainbow Bridge
Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Rainbow")) acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of American Custom Components, Inc., a California
corporation ("ACC-CA") in a business combination described as a reverse
acquisition. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as the
acquisition of Rainbow (the Company) by ACC-CA. Immediately prior to the
acquisition, Rainbow had 832,752 shares of stock outstanding. As part of the
reorganization, the Company issued 7,447,000 shares to the shareholders of
ACC-CA in exchange for 7,447 shares of common stock in ACC-CA. In addition, the
Company issued options to purchase 1,100,000 shares of its common stock to
certain consultants and employees. The Company subsequently changed its name
from Rainbow to American Custom Components, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The
Company is currently experiencing growth beyond its financial resources. The
Company intends to acquire additional funds through establishing a bank lending
relationship and additional equity financing. Although management currently is
negotiating with several funding sources, no specific plans or arrangements have
been made for said financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in obtaining any such funding.
In October 1997, the Company acquired ninety-eight percent (98%) of the issued
and outstanding stock of Caribbean Electronics, Ltd., a St. Lucian corporation
("CEL"), for $25,000 cash, a $100,000 note payable with interest at 8% per
annum, and 8,333 restricted shares of the Company's common stock. In connection
with the acquisition, the Company also assumed certain accounts payable of
approximately $25,000. Caribbean Electronics, Ltd. is an electronic contract
assembly business located on the island of St. Lucia. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase.
Effective January 31, 1998 the Company acquired K5 Plastics, Inc. ("K5"), a
tooling and mold manufacturer through the purchase of one hundred percent (100%)
of its issued and outstanding shares of stock. The Company acquired K5 for
$42,000 in cash, a $50,000 note at an interest rate of 10% per annum, and 25,000
shares of restricted common stock. Also, the Company delivered 60,000 warrants
with an exercise price of $3.00. Of these warrants, 30,000 are exercisable at
any time in the next two to five years and the remaining 30,000 are exercisable
at any time in the next three to six years. The Company has also assumed a K5
note payable to Union Bank of California in the amount of approximately $12,000
bearing an interest rate of 11% per annum and a line of credit to Union Bank of
California with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $50,000 at an
adjustable interest rate currently at 11.25%.
In connection with a private offering of securities which was made by the
Company in the Third Calendar Quarter of 1997, the Company entered into three
(3) Note Purchase Agreements with accredited purchasers under Rule 504 of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 wherein the purchasers
purchased an aggregate of $374,700 in Notes convertible at the greater of (i)
<PAGE>
83% of the closing bid price of the Company's common stock, or (i) $4.98. As of
the date hereof, all of the Notes have been converted into an aggregate of
75,241 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
In connection with a private offering of securities which was made by the
Company in the Fourth Calendar Quarter of 1997 and the First Quarter of 1998,
the Company sold an aggregate of 245,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to
accredited investors under Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933 at a price of $1.75 per share, resulting in net proceeds
to the Company of $428,750.
In connection with a private offering of securities which was made by the
Company in the First and Second Calendar Quarters of 1998, the Company sold an
aggregate of 49,514 restricted shares of Common Stock to accredited investors
under Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 at
a price of $1.75 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $86,650.

Lucia production facilities. The objective of the expansion program is to

to finance future acquisitions through both capital raised from future private

PROPOSED FUTURE OPERATIONS
The Company has historically been engaged in the business of design and
manufacture of electronic components and interconnect systems for the computer
disk drive industry. The Company's Management has recently determined to broaden
the Company's business plan from a disk drive connector manufacturer to now
offering its technology customers a more complete solution to their interconnect
and systems integration needs and to penetrating additional market places. The
Company designs its products to customer specifications using sophisticated
engineering facilities; manufactures its molds and other necessary tooling; and
manufacturing components and assemblies.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain of the statements contained in this report involve risks and
uncertainties. The future results of the Company could differ materially from
those statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this report. While the
Company believes that these statements are accurate, the Company's business is
dependent upon general economic conditions and various conditions specific to
technology-based industries. Accordingly, future trends and results cannot be
predicted with certainty.
It is imperative that the St. Lucia government continues to support business on
the island through training and assisting in appeasing union negotiators as well
as continues to make improvements to roads, communication and port facilities.
Asian economic volatility has currently slowed sales growth within the market.
To date, the Company has not experienced any problems relating to currency
translation nor does management anticipate any problems in the future.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, there exists certain risks related to
currency translation and there can be no assurances that these risks, if they
materialize, will not have a material adverse effect on the operations and
earnings of the Company.
While the Company plans to acquire/develop additional sales and gain synergy
from acquisitions, difficulties and expenses may be encountered in integrating
the newly acquired operations with those of the Company already in place.
The Company has not experienced a material adverse impact of such risks and
uncertainties and does not anticipate such an impact. However, no assurance can
be given that such risks and uncertainties will not affect the Company's future
results of operations or its financial position.

Report of Independent Accountants
To Board of Directors
K-5 Plastics, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of K-5 Plastics, Inc. (a
California corporation) as of January 31, 1998, and the related statements of
income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the ten month period then
ended. 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 audit 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 overall accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of K-5 Plastics, Inc. as of
January 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
ten-month period then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Ten Month Period Ended January 31, 1998
-----------------------------------------------
1. Description of Business
-----------------------
K-5 Plastics, Inc. (the "Company") manufactures and sells plastic
injection moldings to various manufacturers throughout Southern
California.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
Recognition of Revenues
Revenues are recognized when the Company's products are shipped.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated
using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the
related assets, which range from three to seven years. Expenditures for
normal maintenance and repairs are charged to operations and renewals and
betterments are capitalized.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are
recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying
enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of
existing assets and liabilities. The principal sources of temporary
differences are the different methods of reporting depreciation for
financial and income tax reporting purposes.
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.
3. Accounts Receivable
-------------------
During the ten month period ended January 31, 1998, the Company recorded an
allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,645 and recognized a bad debt expense
of $3,645.

capital up to $50,000. The line of credit bears
interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2.75%

the Company. The line matures on June 10, 1998. $ 40,180

8. Commitments
-----------

9. Contingencies
-------------
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. To reduce credit risk,
the Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customer's financial
condition but does not generally require collateral. Sales to four
customers accounted for approximately 65% of revenues for the ten month
period ended January 31, 1998. At January 31, 1998, accounts receivable
included $18,435 due from these customers, which represents approximately
55% of total trade accounts receivable at that date.
10. Disclosure about Fair Values of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------------------------
The estimated fair value amounts of all financial instruments have been
determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. Fair value is described as the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between informed
willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. However, considerable
judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the
estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in
a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair
value amounts. The Company does not have any off balance sheet financial
instruments.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating fair value disclosures for financial statements:
Cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain
other current liability amounts are reported in the balance sheet at
approximate fair value due to the short term maturities of these
instruments.

Components, Inc. in a transaction that has been accounted for as a business
combination using the purchase method of accounting and is now its wholly
owned subsidiary. The financial results of the Company's operations after
January 31, 1998 are consolidated with the financial statements of American
Custom Components, Inc. ("ACC"). As a result, the Company is controlled by
ACC, and the operations of ACC may impact the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.
12. Year 2000 Disclosure
--------------------
The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer operations
to identify the systems that could have been adversely affected by the Year
2000 Issue and has developed and implemented a plan that it believes had
resolved the issue. The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs
being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable
year. Any of the Company's programs that have time-sensitive software might
have recognized a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could have resulted in a major system failure or
miscalculations. The Company presently believes that, with modifications
already made to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year
2000 Issue will not pose significant operational problems for the Company's
computer systems as so modified and converted.
