Item 6. Description of Business
(a) Narrative Description of Business.
(1) Business done and intended to be done
Espo's Inc. ("the Company") is a New York corporation chartered on
November 29, 1990. The Company formerly manufactured and sold clothing
and accessories and sold and rented sporting goods and gave lessons for
the sporting goods which it sold or rented. In December of 1999 the
Company divested itself of all its assets and traded shares of its
common stock to shareholders of Performance Interconnect Corp. in
exchange for their stock in Performance Interconnect Corp.
Performance Interconnect Corp. was incorporated October 10, 1996, in
the State of Texas. It was formed to acquire the assets of I-CON
Industries, Inc. , and actually acquired title to those assets on March
31, 1998. I-CON had been formed in 1979 as a limited partnership,
licensed by the Kollmorgen Corporation to design and manufacture
MULTIWIRE technology and was later incorporated under new ownership.
In March, 1999, PC Dynamics of Texas, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of Performance Interconnect Corp., acquired all the assets of PC
Dynamics Corporation, a Frisco, Texas, manufacturer of metalback RF
circuit boards.
As a result of all the foregoing, the Company owns 99.67% of the common
stock of Performance Interconnect Corp., and Performance Interconnect
Corp. owns all of the common stock of PC Dynamics of Texas, Inc. The
Company's business is conducted under the names of Performance
Interconnect Corp. and PC Dynamics of Texas, Inc.
(i) Principal Products, Principal Markets, Method of Distribution
The Company manufactures and markets circuit boards. Circuit
boards are the basic semiconductor interconnection system used in
almost all electronics equipment. The circuit boards manufactured
and marketed by the Company are at the high end of the market,
both as to technology and as to price. The Company has four kinds
of products:
(1) High reliability (military) RF (radio frequency)
circuit boards.
(2) Commercial RF circuit boards.
(3) Discrete wiring technology (DWT) circuit boards.
(4) Fiber optics circuit boards
<PAGE>
All of these are typically manufactured on specific orders from
the customer and shipped directly from the factory to the customer
by a common carrier, such as UPS or Federal Express. Usually the
method of shipment is specified by the customer. Sales are
effected through six U.S. manufacturer's representatives, with a
total staff of about 16 persons, two in-house sales persons and
one manufacturer's representative in Europe.
High Reliability RF (Radio Frequency) Circuit Boards
RF circuit boards are multilayer circuit boards manufactured with
low dielectric constant laminates and precise mechanical
requirements for the circuits. These special materials require
special processes not ordinarily available from high-volume
multilayer competitors. The Company's high-reliability circuit
boards have primarily military applications. They are
manufactured and marketed under the Performance Interconnect name.
Commercial RF Circuit Boards
The commercial RF circuit boards manufactured by the Company are
used primarily in cellular and PCS telecommunications, military
radar and communications and various high volume commercial
applications, such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
The telecommunications applications of these circuit boards are
important in developed nations like the United States, but they
are especially valuable in underdeveloped nations which do not
have the telephone infrastructure in place. Many of these
countries are going directly to wireless.
The commercial RF circuit boards are manufactured and marketed
under the PC Dynamics name.
Discrete Wiring Technology (DWT) Circuit Boards
Most circuit boards in use today are what are know as multilayer
circuit boards. Their circuits are printed and etched onto the
board. DWT circuits, by contrast, actually use insulated wires to
provide the signal interconnects. DWT is a more expensive
process, but it has several distinct advantages over printed
boards. These advantages are improved signal integrity, more
consistent uniformity board-to-board, lower weight, lower
temperature, superior impedance control and superior route
ability. DWT circuit boards are used primarily in high-
performance computers and telecom switching equipment where the
choice is driven more by performance characteristics than by
price. The Company expects this market to expand in proportion to
the expected increase in computer speeds.
DWT circuit boards' target markets include supercomputers, test
equipment, telecommunications, satellite communications, military
avionics, counter measures, missiles, smart bombs, defense systems
and communications.
Worldwide DWT revenue is estimated at $40 million. Domestic sales
account for 35% of this figure. There are six suppliers
worldwide, two domestically. The two domestic suppliers are
Advanced Interconnect Technology (AIT), with estimated DWT
revenues totaling $10 million, and the Company, with $3.7 million.
<PAGE>
Fiber Optics Circuit Boards
3M has a DARPA contract to develop a fiber optics backplane
technology. (A "DARPA" contract is a type of agreement with the
federal government providing for government funding in the
development of certain technologies.) 3M approached the Company
about two and one-half years ago to develop putting the fiber onto
3M's adhesive. 3M and the Company have almost, but not quite,
completed an agreement to determine the system by which the
product is to be marketed. It is not yet certain whether the
Company will manufacture and sell to the end user or will
manufacture and sell to 3M.
Unlike the Company's other circuit boards which transmit electric
signals, this product transmits light-waves.
(iii) The Company estimates that it has spent $520,000 during
each of the last two fiscal years on Company-sponsored research
and development activities. In addition, the Company has spent an
estimated $80,000 in each of the last two fiscal years on material
customer-sponsored research activities relating to the development
of new products, services or techniques or the improvement of
existing products or techniques.
(iv) The Company has 91 full-time employees, 80 permanent and
eleven temporary.
(v) Federal, state and local provisions regulating discharge of
materials into the environment do not have a material affect on
the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the
Company. The Company's manufacturing operations do generate acids
and other wastes. These wastes are collected and stored on a
short-term basis in an approved manner within the plant and are
then removed monthly under a contract with an approved carrier at
a total expense of approximately $10,000 per month. The disposal
of these wastes is subject to regulation and monitoring by the
Texas Natural Resources commission and by the Environmental
Protection Agency. There are no material estimated capital
expenditures for environmental control facilities for the
remainder of the current fiscal year or in the foreseeable future.
(2) Distinctive or Special Characteristics of the Company's Operation
or Industry Which May Have a Material Impact upon the Company's Future
Financial Performance.
The industry in which the Company is engaged (circuit boards) and the
industries which use the Company's products (high performance computers
and communications) have seen the rise and fall of numerous companies
and products in recent years. They are in a constant state of flux,
radically innovative. Any success which the Company may have had in
the past is probably less predictive in these industries than it is in
most.
<PAGE>
The Company intends to operate as a "niche" supplier and will not
typically compete with larger volume companies. There are, however,
many companies in the electronics field which have greater financial
resources, operational experience and technical facilities than the
Company. In the future these larger companies are not expected to
compete directly with the Company. If the "niche" grows larger and
more lucrative, the likelihood of competition will increase.

Overview
Effective December 23, 1998, Espo's Inc. entered into a stock-for-
stock reverse merger with Performance Interconnect Corp. As a
part of the plan of reorganization, all of the assets, liabilities
and business of Espo's Inc. prior to the date of the
reorganization were transferred to another company. Accordingly,
the prior operations of Espo's Inc. are treated as discontinued
operations for its year ended November 30, 1999.
Performance Interconnect Corp. ("PIC") is a contract manufacturer
of quality, high performance circuit boards located in Frisco,
Texas, just north of Dallas. PIC's products are used on
computers, communication equipments, the aerospace industry,
defense electronics and other applications requiring high
performance electrical capability.
The following discussion provides information to assist in the
understanding of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations for the years ended June 30, 1998, and 1999, and five
months ended November 30, 1999. It should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto
appearing in this Form 10-SB for the five months ended November
30, 1999, and the years ended June 30, 1999, and June 30, 1998.
<PAGE>
Results of Operations
Revenues Sales for the five months ended November 30, 1999, were
$3,867,356, compared to $4,929,025 for the year ended June 30,
1999, and $1,122,379 for the year ended June 30, 1998. The sales
figures reflect the acquisition of PIC's active business in March
of 1998 and the PC Dynamics business by PIC in March of 1999.
Average monthly sales were $374,126 during the three months of
active business reported in the June 30, 1998, year, $409,086
during the June 30, 1999, year, and $773,471 during the five
months ended November 30, 1999. The monthly revenue increased
during the year ended June 30, 1999, and the five months ended
November 30, 1999, were the result of the acquisition of the PC
Dynamics business.
Revenue levels experienced during the five months ended November
30, 1999, are not high enough to cover the fixed manufacturing and
operating expenses of the Company. The Company has embarked upon
a strategy of obtaining increased sales from Radio Frequency (RF)
customer, while changing the product mix of PC Dynamics' sales to
better reflect the Company's manufacturing strengths. Sales for
the year ended November 30, 2000, are expected to increase to
$10,526,000. Sales targets for the years ended November 30, 2001,
and 2002 are $18,700,000 and $26,040,000 respectively.
Gross Profit Gross profit of $175,103 was reported for the year
ended June 30, 1998, with $344,678 shown for the year ended June
30, 1999, and a negative of $649,011 for the five months ended
November 30, 1999. As a percentage of sales, the gross profit
was 15.60%, 6.99% and negative to 16.78% for the respective
periods.
The gross profit for the year ended June 30, 1998, was not
sufficient to make the Company profitable because the volume of
sales was not high enough to absorb the fixed manufacturing
overhead and operating expenses. Revenues were enhanced by the PC
Dynamics acquisition, but not by enough to overcome fixed cost
increases caused by the acquisition. In addition, problems
encountered in integrating the businesses, including excessive
scrap related to PC Dynamics orders booked prior to purchase,
caused manufacturing cost overruns which resulted in substantial
deterioration in gross profit for the year ended June 30, 1999,
and the five months ended November 30, 1999.
Management believes that the excessive manufacturing cost overruns
resulting from the PC Dynamics acquisition were brought under
control after November 30, 1999. For the year ended November 30,
2000, the Company projects a gross profit of $1,546,000, or 14,69%
of sales. The targeted gross profit for the years ended November
30, 2001, and 2002 is $5,070,000 and $8,643,000, comprising 27.11%
and 33.19% of sales in each year.
Operating Expenses Operating expenses totaled $256,424,
$1,685,260 and $517,144 in the years ended June 30, 1998, and
1999, and the five months ended November 30, 1999. Taking into
account the three months of active operations in the year ended
June 30, 1998, the monthly average is $85,475, $140,438 and
$103,429 for each period.
<PAGE>
The Company projects operating expenses to be $2,271,000, an
average or $189,250 per month, for the year ended November 30,
2000. Targeted operating expenses are $2,732,000 and $3,365,000
for the years ended November 30, 2001, and 2002. Increased
operating expenses are anticipated as the result of increased
sales for each period.
Other Income and Expenses During the years ended November 30,
1998, and 1999 and the five months ended November 30, 1999, net
other expenses of $221,531, $370,916 and $252,423 were reported.
Non-recurring losses of $10,472 and $51,785 were shown in the
years ended July 30, 1998, and 1999. Net interest expense of
$211,159, $319,131 and $252,423 was incurred in the years ended
June 30, 1998, and 1999 and the five months ended November 30,
1999. The net interest expense has increased with the Company's
increased borrowing over those periods.
The Company projects net other expense of $498,000 in the year
ended November 30, 2000. Targeted other expense of $616,000 is
expected in the year ended November 30, 2001, and $633,000 is
targeted in the year ended November 30, 2002. The projected
interest expense results from projected operating cash flow
increases, and a capital expenditure of $5,000,000, which the
Company plans to accomplish in the years ended November 30, 2001,
and 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources For the years ended June 30,
1998, and 1999 and the five months ended November 30, 1999, the
Company reported net losses of $302,952, $1,711,498 and
$1,418,578. Operations provided cash of $254,047 and then used
cash of $871,479 and $874,300 in each period. Total uses of cash,
including property acquisitions, were $2,496,065, $1,789, 015 and
$924,166 for each period. Those cash needs were provided
primarily through borrowing and issuance of preferred stock.
The Company projects a net loss of $1,223,000 for its year ended
November 30, 2000, with $442,000 of cash required to be used to
fund operations. This amount, plus additional capital
expenditures projected at $338,000, is expected to be funded by
borrowing.
For the years ended November 30, 2001, and 2002, the Company
targets net income of $1,722,000 and $3,551,000. Operating cash
flows of $1,689,400 and $4,390,000 are targeted, with projected
capital expenditures of $2,100,000 and $2,900,000 in each year.
Item 7. Description of Property
The Company's executive offices and manufacturing facilities are located
together in a single building at 10501 FM 720 East, in Frisco, Texas,
approximately forty minutes northeast of DFW Airport. Performance
Interconnect Corp. leased the building for a 3-year term which began on
March 25, 1999. It contains 45,000 square feet. At the this time the
Company occupies approximately 85% of the building and estimates that the
building is being used at approximately 65% of its capacity. The Company is
now running one full, and one partial, manufacturing shift. Utilization
can be increased as necessary by making the second shift a full shift and by
running a third shift.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Espo's Inc.
East Hampton, New York
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Espo's Inc. (a New York
corporation) as of November 30. 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of
operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company
management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those Standards require that I plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurances about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatements. 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. I believe that my audits, provide
a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Espo's. Inc. as of November
30, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Notes, to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements presented are those of Espo's, Inc. (the
"Company"). The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of New
York on November 29, 1990. The Company's business activities involve retail
and wholesale sales of beach and surfing related apparel, sporting goods and
accessories. Retail sales are a seasonal portion of the Company's
operations.
Discontinued Operations
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between the Company and
Performance Interconnect Corp. ("PIC"), a Texas corporation, whereby the two
companies entered into a stock-for-stock reverse merger transaction
effective December 23, 1999, the Company has transferred and assigned all of
its assets and liabilities and its on-going business operations J. Espo's
Inc., a New York corporation for $1 and some consideration. The Company
issued and exchanged 5,500,000 shares of Rule 144 restricted shares for a
minimum of 99% of PIC's issued and outstanding common stock totaling
2,437,000 shares in a transaction qualifying as tax-free, stock-for-stock
exchange pursuant to Section 368 (a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Pursuant to the agreement, the current officers and directors of the
Company will resign their positions and PIC designees will be appointed as
the new management and Board of Directors. Subsequent to the balance sheet
date, the Company cancelled 1,97l,250 of its restricted shares held by the
Company's officers and directors. The balance of the Company's 385,000
shares issued and outstanding, of which 350,000 shares shall be free
trading, will be named by its shareholders.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that effect the reporting 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 this
period. Actual results, could differ from those estimates.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on
a first-in first-out basis and market based on the lower of replacement cost
or realizable value.
<PAGE>
ESPO'S Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
Property and equipment and depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for both financial
reporting and income tax purpose is computed using combinations of the
straight line and accelerated methods over the estimated lives of the
respective assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when
incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of,
the re1ated cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
respective accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.
Income Taxes
The Company uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109) in reporting deferred income
taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires a company to recognize deferred tax liabilities
and assets for the expected future income tax consequences of events that
have been recognized in the company's financial statements. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
temporary differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax
bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rate in effect in the
years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The
differences relate solely to depreciable assets, (use of different
depreciation methods and lives for financial statement and income tax
purposes).
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income
(loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the year.
Note 2 - Common Stock Transactions
During the year ended November 30, 1999, the Company issued 300,000 shares
of free trading common stock to individual shareholders at $.25 per share,
50,000 shares of free trading common stock to the Company's financial
consultant for services rendered, and 6,000 shares of restricted common
stock to officers and directors of the Company for services, and costs
advanced. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company cance1ed
1,971,250 of its restricted shares held by the Company's officers and
directors. The balance of the Company's 385,000 shares issued and
outstanding, of which 350,000 shares shall be free trading, will be retained
by its shareholders.

November 30, 1999 was transferred to the surviving company, J. Espo's Inc.
Note 6 - Long-term Debt

July 1, 1996. The Company executed a counterclaim for damages caused by an
alleged defective tender of delivery. The Company expects to obtain a
favorable judgment in the case. However, the ultimate outcome of this
litigation is unknown at the present time. Accordingly, no provision for
any liability that may result has been made in the accompanying financial
statements. In the opinion of management, the existing litigation is not
considered to be material in relation to the Company's financial position
immediately prior to the transfer of its assets to J. Espo's. The president

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
History and organization
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PERFORMANCE
INTERCONNECT CORP. ("PI")and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Varga
Investments, Inc. and PC DYNAMICS OF TEXAS INC. (collectively referred to as
the "Company"). PERFORMANCE INTERCONNECT CORP. was incorporated in Texas in
1996 and began operations in 1998. Through its subsidiaries, the Company has
acquired certain assets and liabilities of two high tech manufacturing
operations in North Texas. The acquisitions were accounted for as a
purchase. The Company is involved in the design and manufacture of multi-
wire and rf/microwave circuit boards for sale and distribution throughout
the United States.
Subsequent recapitalization
On November 18, 1999, the major stockholder and chairman of the Company
signed a letter of intent with the president of ESPO's, Inc., an unrelated,
publicly traded entity, whereby the Company would be recapitalized through a
reverse acquisition merger with ESPO's, Inc. Under the agreement, the
Company agreed to cause its stockholders to exchange at least 99% of Company
common stock for up to 5,500,000 shares of restricted common stock in
ESPO's, Inc. The transaction was completed and consummated on December 21,
1999 and retroactively applied to the financial statements presented herein.
ESPO's capital structure after the recapitalization consists of 5,481,947
shares of common stock distributed to the stockholders of the Company and
385,000 shares in public float or owned by the previous principals of
ESPO's, Inc.
Subsequent to closing the recapitalization, ESPO's Inc. elected new
directors, officers and amended the articles of incorporation to permit
preferred stock. The preferred stock of the Company was exchanged under
identical terms with the newly authorized preferred stock of ESPO's.
Principles of consolidation
All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Inventory
The Company's inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on a
first-in, first-out basis, or market.
<PAGE>
Property and equipment
The majority of the Company's property and equipment was acquired through
the purchase transactions described above and in Note 9. These assets are
shown at their acquisition value (approximate fair market value) less
accumulated depreciation. Subsequent acquisitions of property and equipment
are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the underlying assets ranging from 3 to 10 years. The cost of normal
maintenance and repairs is charged to operating expenses as incurred.
Material expenditures which increase the life of an asset are capitalized
and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. The
cost of items sold, or otherwise disposed of, and he related accumulated
depreciation or amortization, are removed from the accounts and any gains or
losses are reflected in current operations.
In addition, the Company periodically reviews all long-lived assets,
including intangibles, in order to ascertain that the carrying value of the
asset is recoverable. For the balance sheets presented herein, it is the
Company's estimate that the net future cash flows from the use or disposal
of all long-lived assets are greater than their carrying value and,
therefore, impairment is not considered necessary.
Securities available for sale
These securities are equity stocks in a publicly traded company that are
anticipated to be held for investment or used as collateral for future
borrowings and as such are classified as available for sale. These
securities are carried at their fair market value which, at November 30,
1999, equals their historic cost. Any subsequent unrealized gain or loss
will be reflected as an element of equity on the balance sheet. See Note 9.
Other assets
Included in other assets are loan origination fees and goodwill. Loan
origination fees are being amortized using the interest method over the
expected life of the loan.
Goodwill is the excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired. It
originated from the Company's 1999 acquisition as discussed in Note 9 and is
being amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method.
Deferred income taxes
Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences resulting from
different financial and income tax reporting methods used to recognize
income and expenses. These differences result primarily from the methods
used to calculate depreciation, amortization, accrued vacation and the
allowance for doubtful accounts. See Note 8.
Concentration of risk
The Company may, on occasion, have cash balances in bank accounts in excess
of the federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses
from these accounts and management does not believe it has any significant
risk related to these accounts.
<PAGE>
At November 30, 1999, there was approximately $816,000 of trade receivables
due from four customers. This accounted for approximately 67% of trade
receivables, including receivables factored with recourse. Additionally,
sales to these four customers accounted for approximately $2,534,000 of
revenue (65%) for the five months ending November 30, 1999. See Note 3.
At June 30, 1999, amounts due from four customers, totaling approximately
$760,000, accounted for approximately 78% of trade receivables, including
receivables factored with recourse. Approximately $3,400,000 of revenue
(68%) for the year ended June 30, 1999 was attributable to three of these
customers.
At June 30, 1998, amounts due from three customers, totaling $338,049,
accounted for approximately 60% of trade receivables. Additionally,
approximately $612,000 of revenues (55%) for the period ended June 30, 1998
was attributable to two of these customers.
In addition, the Company occasionally uses a factor for a select group of
receivables. Due to the nature of the receivables factored, the Company
accounts for these transactions as if the receivables have been sold. See
Note 3.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basis earnings per share is calculated by dividing the income (loss)
available to common stock (the numerator) by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period (the denominator). At
November 30, 1999, the weighted average number of shares outstanding was
5,484,463 and at June 30, 1999 and 1998, the weighted average number of
shares outstanding was 5,481,947.
Diluted earnings per share adds to the denominator those securities that if
converted would cause a dilutive effect to the calculation. To compute the
weighted average number of shares outstanding for the calculation of the
diluted earnings per share, the number of shares vested in the employee
stock option plan must be included in the denominator on a weighted average
basis. At November 30, 1999, June 30, 1999 and 1998, the weighted average
number of shares outstanding were 5,511,093, 5,490,848, and 5,481,947,
respectively.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that effect the financial statements at, and
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company utilizes batch processing for orders from clients that are part
of an existing purchase and delivery contract. The Company only produces an
amount sufficient to complete the order and provide for quality control
inspections. Once a batch is complete, it is immediately shipped to the
customer, thus eliminating the need to warehouse finished goods.
Note 3 - Trade Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains an agreement to factor select accounts receivable with
a financing group. The Company receives 85% of the face amount of qualifying
invoices and the remaining 15% is held by the factor as a reserve until the
invoice is collected, whereby the reserve is then refunded to the Company
less applicable fees. Trade invoices factored represents all invoices that
have not been collected by the factor through November 30, 1999. The
reserve uncollected amount represents the difference between the face amount
of the invoices factored and the advances received from the factorer. All
invoices are factored with recourse to the Company.

Depreciation expense for the five months ended November 30, 1999 totaled
$223,904 of which $192,676 was included in cost of sales for depreciation on
production equipment. Amortization expense of intangible assets totaled
approximately $13,700 for the five months ended November 30, 1999.
Depreciation expense for the year ended June 30, 1999 totaled $399,660 of
which $373,595 was included in cost of sales for depreciation on production
equipment. Amortization expense of intangible assets totaled approximately
$3,800. Depreciation expense for the period ended June 30, 1998, totaled
$84,566 of which $82,541 was included in costs of sales for depreciation on
production equipment.
Note 5 - Lines of Credit
On March 25, 1999, a subsidiary of the Company entered in to an agreement
for a line of credit with a financial institution. The agreement allows
borrowings of up to the greater of $1,500,000 or a set percentage of
receivables and inventory. Interest is payable monthly with the principal
due at maturity. The agreement matures March 24, 2001, and shall be
automatically renewed for successive periods of one year unless otherwise
terminated as provided. Interest accrues at the Citibank, N.A. prime rate
(8.25% at November 30, 1999), plus 3%. The agreement is collateralized by a
first lien on specific assets of the Company and is guaranteed by a
stockholder and entities related through common ownership. The line of
credit also subjects the subsidiary to certain financial and negative
covenants. At November 30, 1999, the subsidiary was subject to financial
covenants that required the subsidiary to maintain a current ratio of 1.0 or
better and a net worth of at least $450,000. The subsidiary was in
violation of both covenants at November 30, 1999 and, therefore, requested
and received a waiver of those terms for the period ending November 30,
1999. For the period ending June 30, 1999, the subsidiary requested and
received a similar covenant waiver. At November 30, 1999 and June 30, 1999,
the outstanding balance on this line of credit was $661,635 and $575,255,
respectively, and is classified as a current liability due to the lenders
waiver not extending beyond the current reporting period. See Note 15.
<PAGE>
In addition, the Company has a line of credit with its major stockholder
whereby the stockholder has agreed to provide funding in the event
outstanding checks are presented to the bank and the Company has inadequate
funds in its account. These advances are to be repaid upon the Company
receiving adequate cash or if significant funds are raised through an equity
offering. The funds accrue nterest at approximately 18% and at November
30, 1999, the outstanding balance was $253,826.
Note 6 - Note Payable
In connection with the assets purchased during the year ended June 30, 1999,
as described in Note 9, the Company incurred a note payable to the seller.
The note accrued interest at the prime rate plus 1% and was payable in
monthly payments of $50,000 plus interest. The note was collateralized by a
subordinate lien on specific assets and guaranteed by the Company and a
stockholder of the Company. The balance of the note at June 30, 1999 was
$193,025 and has subsequently been paid in full.

Note 9 - Cash Flow Information
Non-cash transactions
During the five months ended November 30, 1999, the Company continued to
receive cash advances from entities related through common ownership. As
funds were advanced during the period, the amounts were added to existing
notes payable. On October 15, 1999, two notes due to related entities were
replaced with three new notes payable to third parties. In addition, the
Company received 300,000 shares of stock in uniView Technologies Corporation
with an estimated fair market value of $900,000 (see Note 14). The Company
subsequently sold 150,000 of these shares valued at $450,000 to a entity
related through common ownership for forgiveness of existing debt, accrued
interest and a future advance (other receivable) that was funded in December
1999. The replacement of the notes and the acquisition and sale of the
stock were considered non-cash transactions.
During the year ended June 30, 1999, the Company purchased certain assets of
a high-tech manufacturing entity for $1,066,554 of debt plus royalties. The
royalties were subsequently renegotiated as a series of payments totaling
$500,000, payable at $25,000 each month over a 20 month period and are based
on production and sales activity. See Note 16. In addition, the Company
purchased a vehicle with approximately $28,000 of bank debt.
<PAGE>
During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company received approximately
$2,575,000 of loans and advances from parties related through common
ownership. These funds were then advanced to an unrelated manufacturing
company. These and other funds previously advanced to the manufacturing
company were then converted into preferred stock of the manufacturing
company. The preferred stocks liquidating preference were the assets of the
manufacturing company. The Company subsequently exercised its liquidating
preference by exchanging the preferred stock and any accrued dividends for
fixed assets with an estimated value of $2,780,000. The Company's
liabilities related to these loans were subsequently converted into
preferred stock as discussed below.
On August 28, 1998, the board of directors amended the articles of
incorporation authorizing 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, including
3,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") with a par
value of $10. Pursuant to a letter of intent from four debt holders,
approximately $2,330,000 of long-term debt and $150,300 of accrued interest
were converted into 2,452 shares of Preferred Stock effective April 30,
1998. The conversion was incorporated into the financial statements as of
the effective date. The preferred stock pays a 6% cumulative dividend that
is computed on the liquidating value, which is two times the total of
converted debt plus accrued interest. The Preferred Stock is non-voting and
may be redeemed at the option of the Company at liquidating value. The
collateral associated with the converted debt was transferred to the
Preferred Stock and, in the event the Preferred Stock is not redeemed, the
holders of the Preferred Stock shall have the right to foreclose on the
collateral interest in the Company's assets.
Supplemental information
Interest paid for the five months ended November 30, 1999 and the years
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 totaled approximately $177,000, $261,000 and
$252,000, respectively. The Company was not required to and did not pay any
federal income taxes.
Note 10 - Related Party Transactions
As noted in Note 7, there are amounts included in long-term debt that are
due to related parties. Accrued interest relating to these liabilities
totaled approximately $41,000, $108,000 and $43,000 for the five months
ended November 30, 1999 and the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. At November 30, 1999, June 30, 1999 and 1998, accounts
payable includes approximately $165,000, $200,000 and $61,000, respectively,
due Winterstone Financial Services for consulting services. Winterstone is
related to the Company through common ownership.
Included in current liabilities at November 30, 1999, June 30, 1999 and 1998
are advances payable to related parties. These advances are short-term
advances of operating capital that accrue interest at 24% and are payable on
demand.
<PAGE>
Note 11 - Stock Compensation
On February 28, 1998, the Board of Directors and management of the Company
approved a stock-based compensation plan (the "Plan") for all individuals
employed as of March 31, 1998. The original number of shares to be issued
was approximately 1,145,000; however, through reverse stock splits, this has
been decreased to approximately 114,500 shares. The Company accounts for
the fair value of its grants under the Plan in accordance with FASB 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
The related compensation costs that have been charged against income are
$5,367 for the five months ended November 30, 1999, $7,156 for the year
ended June 30, 1999 and $2,385 for the period ended June 30, 1998. The
shares are valued at approximately $0.25 per share and is management's best
estimate considering the Company's financial position, the life of the
options, management's estimate of the expected price of the underlying stock
once trading begins, the expected volatility of the stock, expected
dividends and current risk-free interest rates. As the Company develops a
trading price and volatility history, management intends to make use of
pricing models to facilitate future valuations.
Under the Plan, eligible employees are to receive a predetermined amount of
shares, primarily based on their salary and tenure with the Company. The
employees vest at 25%, 25% and 50% for the periods ending March 1, 1999,
2000 and 2001, respectively. In the event the Company is purchased or
involved in a merger, all shares become 100% vested. The employees do not
have to contribute any capital to obtain the shares and, if terminated prior
to vesting, forfeit their rights to unvested shares.

Note 12 - Commitments
The Company rents office space, equipment and warehouse facilities under
non-cancellable operating leases. Total rent expense was $121,940 for the
five months ended November 30, 1999; $440,120 for the year ended June 30,
1999 and $84,728 for the year ended June 30, 1998. Future minimum lease

The Company has certain royalty agreements with a third party for sales of
multi-wire boards. Total royalty expense was approximately $41,000 for the
five months ended November 30, 1999, $101,000 for the year ended June 30,
1999 and $31,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998. The royalty agreement is
for a ten-year period ending December 31, 2003 and is automatically extended
for subsequent five-year periods. Either side may terminate at the end of
the ten-year or five-year periods.
Note 13 - Warrants
In conjunction with a financing agreement executed in October 1997, the
Company issued warrants for the purchase of 10% of the authorized number of
shares of common stock for $2,000,000. The warrants are exercisable through
October 22, 2002. Due to the estimated value of the underlying stock when
the warrants were issued, the restricted nature of the warrants and the
exercise price, the warrants have been estimated to have no significant
value.
Note 14 - Stockholders' Equity
On November 29, 1999, the Company received $900,000 of consideration in the
form of equity securities in exchange for preferred stock that was to be
offered in the surviving entity of the reverse acquisition merger described
in Note 15. The consideration is classified as subscribed, funded and
unissued preferred stock in the equity section of the balance sheet.
The Preferred Stock requires the Company to make monthly dividend and stock
redemption fund payments of approximately $28,000 and gives the Company the
first right of refusal on a proposed sale of the Preferred Stock by a
shareholder. The stock redemption fund is classified as a contra equity
account as it accumulates funds paid by the Company until a significant
block of Preferred Stock can be redeemed.
Note 15 - Subsequent Events
As discussed in Notes 5 and 7, PI and a subsidiary are subject to certain
financial covenants related to the line of credit and certain long-term
debt. As discussed in Note 5, a subsidiary was not in compliance with the
financial covenants at November 30, 1999, and, therefore, requested and
received a no-action letter waiving compliance. For the year ended June 30,
1999, PI and the subsidiary requested and received a similar letter.
Note 16 - Continued Operations
At June 30, 1998, the Company's financial statements and key financial
indicators presented a financial picture of an entity that had not been able
to take advantage of certain economies of scale as expenses and liabilities
outpaced earnings.
On March 15, 1999, the Company facilitated the acquisition of certain assets
of PC DYNAMICS CORPORATION ("PCD") by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,
PC DYNAMICS OF TEXAS, INC., and subsequently moved all manufacturing and
corporate operations of the Company to the leased facility previously
occupied by PCD. This move was viewed as an effort to apply corporate
overhead to a larger manufacturing base.
<PAGE>
At June 30, 1999, the Company had completed the move and had ramped up
operations and, shortly thereafter, initiated a limited second production
shift. The Company was still requiring outside cash infusion, but mainly as
a result of moving costs and costs associated with the acquisition.
From June 30, 1999 through November 30, 1999, stockholders had advanced and
loaned the Company approximately $800,000 to meet its cash requirements.
During this period, the Company enacted a plan to upgrade quality control
procedures in order to reduce waste and spoilage. These procedures were
designed to improve manufacturing efficiency in an effort to help achieve
operational profitability. The directors are continuing to seek additional
equity funding and are optimistic that the reverse merger discussed in Note
1 will provide the needed capital platform to raise additional equity and
continue operations.
The accompanying financial statements were prepared as if the Company would
continue as a going concern and, therefore, contemplates the realization of
assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
If the Company is unable to continue to generate increased sales, increased
profitability, or obtain additional equity participation to cover negative
cash flows, a director and several related party stockholders have agreed to
fund the capital requirements of the Company through November 30, 2000.
