PART 1
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
- ------- ------------------------
(a) BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.
---------------------
The Company is a New Jersey corporation organized in 1947. On
September 7, 1993 the Company and its subsidiaries, Boonton International Sales
Corporation and Integra, Inc., filed separate, voluntary petitions for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. On August
4, 1994 the Company filed a consensual Plan of Reorganization with the
bankruptcy court and an Order Confirming Debtors' Plan of Reorganization was
entered on November 15, 1994.
The Company has accounted for all transactions related to the Chapter
11 proceedings in accordance with the Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial
Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" issued by the
American Institute of Certified Accountants in November 1990. Accordingly, all
pre-petition liabilities that were impaired by the Plan of Reorganization are
reported separately in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as "Chapter 11
Settlement", current and noncurrent.
The success of the Companys' Plan of Reorganization was due primarily
to the sale of its land and facility in Randolph, New Jersey and the termination
of an overfunded employees' defined benefit pension plan. The Company has
relocated its entire operation to the Township of Hanover, New Jersey. Further
details regarding the lease are provided in Item 2.(a) below and "Note 8" to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
(b) BUSINESS OF COMPANY.
--------------------
(1) The Company designs and produces electronic testing and measuring
instruments including power meters, voltmeters and modulation meters. Recent
models are microprocessor controlled and are often used in computerized
automatic testing systems. The Company's equipment is marketed throughout the
world to commercial and government customers in the electronics industry.
(2) The Company markets and distributes its products throughout the
United States and abroad through some 15 domestic sales representatives and 35
foreign distributors. Representatives sell on a commission basis, while
distributors buy products for resale at discounted ex-factory prices. Its
representatives and distributors also handle the products of other manufactures,
although these are not generally competitive with the Company's products except
that some items handled by foreign distributors may be somewhat competitive.
(3) Not applicable.
(4) The Company is in competition with many other manufacturers,
several of which are substantially larger than the Company and have far larger
professional staffs and far greater financial and technical resources. Of these,
Hewlett-Packard is believed to account for approximately 60% of the domestic
market and, together with other larger companies (including Tektronix, Fluke,
Giga-tronics, and Keithley Instruments in the United States, and Phillips,
Marconi Instruments, Mitsubishi and Anritsu abroad) accounts for approximately
90% of the worldwide market in electronic instrumentation.

<PAGE>
(5) The Company obtains raw materials from a variety of sources.
Neither the sources nor the availability of essential raw materials are
considered to play any significant part in the Company's business.
(6) During this fiscal year approximately 15% of the Company's sales
were made to the United States Government and agencies thereof. The Company
believes that an additional substantial portion of purchases made by its
non-Governmental customers are related to the filling of orders placed with such
customers by the United States Government and agencies thereof. The Company is
not able to determine the percentage of sales associated with purchases from
non-Governmental customers that are related to the filling of orders placed by
the United States Government and agencies thereof.
(7) The Company does not have any patents, trademarks, licenses,
franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts.
(8) Not applicable.
(9) Under established United States Government contract procedures,
substantially all of the Company's Government contracts are subject to
cancellation, in which case the Company would be entitled to recover its costs
incurred to the date of cancellation plus a reasonable profit thereon. The
cancellation costs and a reasonable profit are determined in accordance with
standard Government accounting practices.
(10) During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, the Company
spent $921,927 on company-sponsored research and development activities. The
Company spent $783,132 on such activities during the fiscal year ended September
30, 1995. The Company does not currently have any customer-sponsored research
and development activities.
(11) The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (the
"NJDEP") has conducted an investigation concerning disposal, at a facility in
New Jersey previously leased by the Company, of certain materials formerly used
by the Company's manufacturing operations at that site and the possible effect
of such disposal on the aquifer underlying the property. The disposal practices
and the use of the materials in question were discontinued in 1978. The Company
has cooperated with the NJDEP investigation and has been diligently pursuing the
matter in an attempt to resolve it as rapidly as NJDEP operating procedures
permits.
The Company and the NJDEP have agreed upon a plan to correct ground
water contamination at the site, located in the Township of Parsippany-Troy
Hills, pursuant to which wells have been installed at an estimated cost to the
Company of $127,000. The plan contemplates that the wells will be operated and
that soil and water samples will be taken and analyzed until such time (which
the Company is unable to predict) as contamination levels satisfactory to the
NJDEP are attained. Operating expenditures incurred by the Company during the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 in connection with the site amounted to
approximately $51,879. The Company estimates that operating expenditures in this
regard during the current fiscal year, including the costs of operating the
wells and taking and analyzing soil and water samples, will amount to
approximately $52,000.
During the year ended September 30, 1996 the Company incurred
extraordinary costs of $171,772 associated with this location. These costs were
to further delineate the extent of the contamination in order to obtain a
"Classified Exception Area" designation for the site and a "Conditional No
Further Action" letter from the NJDEP. The Company
3
<PAGE>
has accrued an additional $100,000 for work to be performed in its 1997 fiscal
year that is expected to complete this process. The funding for this work has
been provided by General Electronique Mesure (GEM) through the purchase of the
Company's common stock.
(12) As of September 30, 1996 the Company had 63 employees of which
60 were full-time and 3 were part-time employees.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
------------------------
(a) On September 28, 1994, the Company sold its facility in Randolph,
New Jersey to NTV Realty, Inc. The proceeds of the sale of the land and
building, $2,300,000, were immediately transferred to United Jersey Bank in
accordance with the Company's Plan of Reorganization. The Company entered into a
lease agreement, effective October 1, 1994, with 25 Eastmans Road Associates,
Ltd. to lease approximately 30,000 square feet of a facility located in Hanover
Township, New Jersey. The term of the lease agreement is for seven years
beginning on October 1, 1994 and ending on September 30, 2001. The lease also
contains an option to extend the term of the lease by five years.
(b) and (c) Not applicable.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
------------------
(a) Reference is made to the discussion in Item 1.(a) above regarding
the status of the Company's Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization. The principal
parties are the Company, its subsidiaries and its creditors. As noted, the
Company's Plan of Reorganization was confirmed on November 15, 1994.
Reference is made to the discussion in Item 1.(b)(11) above regarding
an investigation by the NJDEP concerning certain discontinued disposal practices
of the Company and their effect on the soil and ground water at a certain
facility formerly occupied by the Company. No administrative or judicial
proceedings have been commenced in connection with such investigation. The owner
of the Parsippany-Troy Hills facility has notified the Company, that if the
investigation proves to interfere with the sale of the property, it may seek to
hold the Company liable for any resulting damages. Since May 1983, the owner has
been on notice of this problem and has failed to institute any legal proceedings
with respect thereto. While this does not bar the owner from instituting a suit,
it is the opinion of the Company's legal counsel that it is doubtful that the
owner would prevail on any claim due to the fact that such a claim would be
barred by the statute of limitations.
(b) Not applicable.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.
-------------------------------------
(A) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
----------------------
(i) 1996 versus 1995
----------------
Net sales of $6,038,336 for the fiscal year 1996 were $798,912 or 11.7%
below the prior year. Domestic sales decreased $655,547 which, as noted in the
Form 10-QSB filed for June 30, 1996, was attributable to an overall decline in
the industry in the United States. It is significant to note that there was a
$271,169 increase in military contract revenues during the year. In addition the
Company received two significant contract awards from the United States Air
Force in August 1996 which will total approximately $1.7 million in revenues
upon completion. International sales declined by $143,365 below the prior year.
This trend is not expected to continue in fiscal 1997 as greater emphasis will
be placed on the Southeast Asia region which has shown recent indications of
development.
The Company had a gross profit of $2,629,756 or 43.6% of sales versus a
prior year gross profit of $2,948,485 or 43.1% of sales. Commission expense
increased to 10.6% of sales versus 8.5% of sales for the prior year primarily
due to international sales, which carry a high commission rate and were 42.3% of
revenues in fiscal 1996 versus 39.5% of sales in fiscal 1995. There was a loss
from operations of $448,315 versus an income from operations of $163,032 for the
prior year. The loss in 1996 was partially attributable to the reduced volume
but was also impacted by certain costs that were non-recurring in nature. These
costs, which represent 46.2% of the loss from operations, were "CE" mark audit
fees of $108,525, funds provided for new technology research at the New Jersey
Institute of Technology totaling $65,000, and severance expense for the former
president of $33,920. Management of the Company has already instituted steps to
reduce operating costs in fiscal
5
<PAGE>
1997 which steps include reductions in wages and payroll taxes due to personnel
reductions. Further cost reductions will be implemented as identified by
management as fiscal 1997 progresses.
Other expenses of $25,886 were below the prior years $245,527. This
decrease was primarily because there were no moving expenses or Chapter 11
expenses in fiscal 1996. The loss before taxes and special charges was $474,201
versus a loss of $82,495 for the prior year. The special charges of $350,405
were primarily a result of costs, and accrued costs for work to be performed in
1997, associated with further environmental delineation work performed at a site
formerly leased by the Company. This work is being performed in order to obtain
a "Conditional No Further Action Letter" from the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJDEP) which would allow the Company to finalize the
groundwater remediation program as discussed at Item 1.(b) (11) above. The loss
per share before special charges was $.48 versus earnings per share of $.17 for
the prior year. The net loss per share was $.72.
Accounts receivable decreased to $971,342 from a prior years $1,011,980
and the average collection period increased to 59.9 days from 53.8 days for the
prior year. Inventory of $1,210,940 was comparable to the prior year. The
average inventory turnover decreased, due to the reduced sales volume, to 2.8
versus a prior years 3.6. The current ratio was 2.3 to 1 versus a prior years
3.0 to 1. Working capital declined to $1,495,987 versus a prior years
$1,827,718. The decline in working capital was due primarily to the accrued
environmental costs for the work to be performed in fiscal 1997, reduction of
deferred tax assets and increased accounts payable balances. The Company's
backlog at September 30, 1996 was $1,362,193 which included $512,000 for the
military contracts.
The Company has incurred losses from operations during the last three
fiscal years. Management does not expect this to continue based on its operating
plan for fiscal 1997 which anticipates a 19% increase in revenue and a net
income of approximately $200,000. The 1997 first quarter revenues were
approximately $1.8 million which supports, on an annualized basis, the expected
increase in revenues. The military contracts awarded in fiscal 1996, which will
total $1.7 million in revenues upon completion, contributed approximately
$265,000 to the first quarter 1997 revenues. The Company's backlog as of
December 31, 1996 was $1,296,718 which included an additional $546,000 for the
military contracts. An additional $299,000 was released by the Air Force in
November 1996 against these contracts.
(ii) 1995 VERSUS 1994
----------------
Net sales of $6,837,248 for the fiscal year 1995 were $836,693 or 13.9%
over prior year. Domestic sales increased $311,575 primarily due to a $252,088
increase in military contract business. Export sales increased $525,118 over
prior year as an increased emphasis was placed on developing foreign
distributors contributions to overall revenues.
The Company had a gross profit of $2,948,485 or 43% of sales versus a
prior year gross profit of $1,991,227 or 33% of sales. There was an income from
operations of $163,032 versus a prior year loss of ($326,845). Commission
expense decreased as a percentage of sales to 8.6% from the prior year 11.6% due
to increased domestic military sales which carry a significantly lower
commission rate. All other categories of operating expense were $577,349 above
prior year as the Company emerged from bankruptcy on November 15, 1994 and began
to rebuild the work force to accommodate the increasing volume of business. The
loss before benefit from taxes was $(82,495) versus a prior year loss before
benefit from taxes and special charges of $(216,576).
6
<PAGE>
It is important to note that, in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions, the Company recorded a
$216,657 charge to operations (50% to cost of sales and 50% to operating
expense) as a result of the termination of its defined benefit pension plan. The
plan's termination also required a $33,522 charge to other expense for the 20%
excise tax required on the excess of funds returnable to the Company. The
pension plan termination was a requirement of the Company's Plan of
Reorganization which, as reported in fiscal 1994, was confirmed on November 15,
1994. Furthermore, the Company incurred moving expenses of $98,516 and other
expenses of $14,758 also related to the requirements of the Plan of
Reorganization and to the final accounting for Chapter 11. The Company would
have reported income before benefit for taxes of $280,958 had the recording of
these items of nonrecurring expense not been required.
The benefit from income taxes, recorded in accordance with financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, was $316,339. The
reported credit was due to a decrease in the valuation allowance which thereby
increased the deferred tax asset required by FAS No. 109. The earnings per share
from continuing operations was $.17 versus a prior year loss per share of
$(.14). The earnings per share for fiscal 1995 would have been $.38 had the
nonrecurring items discussed in the paragraph above not been required.
Accounts receivable was $7,616 above the prior year however the average
collection period was reduced to 53.8 days versus a prior years 63.5 days.
Inventories of $1,203,358 were $251,438 above the prior years $951,920 due to
increased volume of business. The average inventory turnover increased to 3.6
from the prior years 2.2 indicating the Company has improved its efficiency in
managing this important asset. The current ratio at September 30, 1995 was 3.01
to 1 versus 2.64 to 1 the prior year. Also, the Company's working capital
increased $190,375 to $1,827,718 from a prior years $1,637,343. In October 1995
the Company, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, made the first
payment of $101,515 in total to the unsecured creditors and made the final
payment of $73,052 in total for Chapter 11 professional costs as included in the
Company's September 30, 1995 consolidated balance sheet.
(b) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
--------------------------------
The Company's working capital for the fiscal years ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 was $1,495,987 and $1,827,718, respectively.
Under the conditions set forth in the Plan of Reorganization (see Item
1.(a) above), the Revolving Credit and Loan Agreement, dated August 15, 1990, as
amended by Letter Agreement dated May 1, 1992, secured by assets and/or
collateral as set forth in such agreement, between the Company and United Jersey
Bank was satisfied by payments totaling $3,000,000. The $3,000,000 in payments
consist of the following: $2,300,000 from the proceeds the Company realized from
the sale of the facility and land in Randolph, New Jersey; $150,000 realized
from the sale of excess inventory and assets; $150,000 consisting of three
$50,000 payments in June, July and August of 1994; and a $400,00 note payable,
at 8% interest, payable in $25,000 monthly installments of principal and
interest commencing September 1994 and continuing until January 1996. As of
January 1996, the commitment to United Jersey Bank was completed. The second
payment to the unsecured creditors was
7
<PAGE>
made in October 1996. The Company expects to finance the $201,505 balance due
unsecured creditors from operations in fiscal 1997 and 1998.
On February 6, 1995, The Board of Directors loaned $300,000 at 14%
interest per annum to the Company. Initially these loans were to be repaid by
April 1995 however due to the Company's need to maintain the use of the proceeds
from these loans, repayment was waived. Effective September 1, 1995, the
interest rate for these loans was reduced to 9% per annum. Repayment of these
loans is now covered by a Subordination Agreement by and between the Directors
and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) in accordance with the
terms of a loan the Company has with NJEDA which is discussed below.
On July 31, 1996, the Company executed a Direct Loan Agreement by and
between the Company and the NJEDA. The agreement provides for a direct loan of
$500,000 at 6 3/4% per annum. The proceeds of the loan are to be used primarily
for the acquisition of capital assets. As of September 30, 1996, the Company had
used $90,019 of the loan amount and had repaid principal of $1,679. The Company
will use the balance of the available loan amount in the first half of the
fiscal 1997.
During fiscal 1996 the net cash provided by the reissued treasury
shares of $563,438 was used principally to fund the cash used by operations of
$483,889 and the acquisition of capital assets of $89,024. Due to the net loss
in fiscal 1996, total debt-to-capital at September 30, 1996 was 72.5% compared
to 53.3% the prior year end.
During 1997 the Company expects to finance capital spending and working
capital requirements with funds from NJEDA borrowings, with cash provided from
operations and with the funds invested on December 9, 1996 by G.E.M. USA, Inc.
(see Note 12 - Subsequent Event).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
BOONTON ELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of
Boonton Electronics Corporation and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1996 and
1995, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Changes in
Stockholders' Equity and Cash Flows for the years in the three year period ended
September 30, 1996. 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 audit.
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 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 Boonton Electronics
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results
of its operations and cash flows for the years in the three year period ended

BOONTON ELECTRONICS CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES AND DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS:
A. The Company is a New Jersey corporation organized in 1947. The
Company designs and produces electronic testing and measuring
instruments including power meters, voltmeters and modulation meters.
Recent models are microprocessor controlled and are often used in
computerized automatic testing systems. The Company's equipment is
marketed throughout the world to commercial and government customers
in the electronics industry.
The Company markets and distributes its products throughout the
United States and abroad through some 15 domestic sales
representatives and 35 foreign distributors. Representatives sell on
a commission basis, while distributors buy products for resale at
discounted ex-factory prices. Its representatives and distributors
also handle the products of other manufactures, although these are
not generally competitive with the Company's products except that
some items handled by foreign distributors may be somewhat
competitive.
B. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boonton
Electronics Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Boonton
International Sales Corporation and Integra, Inc. All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The wholly-owned subsidiaries ceased operations
effective October 1, 1994.
C. 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 may differ from those estimates.
D. The company accounts for uncollectible accounts under the direct
write-off method whereas generally accepted accounting principals
require provision for such expenses under the allowance method. The
effect of using this method approximates the allowance method as all
amounts are deemed to be fully collectible.
E. Inventories - stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
F. Property, plant and equipment - Depreciation and amortization is
calculated by the straight-line method for financial reporting
purposes at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:
Building and improvement 39
Machinery and equipment 5-10
Office furniture and fixtures 5-10
Transportation equipment 3
The accelerated cost recovery system and modified accelerated cost
recovery system is used for income tax purposes. Cost of major
renewals and betterments that extend the life of the property and
equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs
are charged to expenses as incurred.
G. Financial risk - The Company regularly maintains bank account
balances in excess of FDIC insurable limit.

BOONTON ELECTRONICS CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
H. Income Taxes - The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
which requires a company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and
assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have
been recognized in a Company's financial statements or tax returns.
Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined
based on the differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using expected tax
rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to
reverse. The Company recognized the benefit of net operating loss
carryforwards applying the valuation allowance which requires that
the tax benefit be limited bases on the weight of available evidence
and the probability that some portion of the deferred tax asset will
be realized.
I. Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments include
cash, cash equivalents, trade receivables and payable, long-term debt
and loans from related parties for which carrying amounts approximate
fair value. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of
related party loans and long-term debt.
NOTE 2 - PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 AND GOING CONCERN
PRESENTATION:
The Company operated under Chapter 11 proceedings for the period
September 7, 1993 through November 15, 1994 when, on the later date, the order
confirming the Plan of Reorganization was entered by the United States
Bankruptcy Court, District of New Jersey subject to the court closing the case
180 days after said entry (Local Rule 25(a)) cause for extension of time in
closing case (Local Rule 25(b)) and filing of application for allowance of fees
and allowance within 90 days after entry of final order confirming plan (Local
Rule 25(c)).

NOTE 5 - RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
The Company has incurred losses from operations during the last three
fiscal years. Management does not expect this to continue based on its operating
plan for fiscal 1997 which anticipates a 19% increase in revenue and a net
income of approximately $200,000. The 1997 first quarter revenues were
approximately $1.8 million which supports, on an annualized basis, the expected
increase in revenues. The military contracts awarded in fiscal 1996, which will
total $1.7 million in revenues upon completion, contributed approximately
$265,000 to the first quarter 1997 revenues. The Company's backlog as of
December 31, 1996 was $1,296,718 which included an additional $546,000 for the
military contracts. An additional $299,000 was released by the Air Force in
November 1996 against these contracts.
The loss in 1996 was partially attributable to the reduced volume but
was also impacted by certain costs that were non-recurring in nature. These
costs, which represent 46.2% of the loss from operations, were "CE" mark audit
fees of $108,525, funds provided for new technology research at the New Jersey
Institute of Technology totaling $65,000, and severance expense for the former
president of $33,920. Management of the Company has already instituted steps to
reduce operating costs in fiscal 1997 which steps include reductions in wages
and payroll taxes due to personnel reductions. Further cost reductions will be
implemented as identified by management as fiscal 1997 progresses.
The special charges of $350,405 was primarily a result of costs, and
accrued costs for work to be performed in 1997, associated with further
environmental delineation work performed at a site formerly leased by the
Company. This work is being performed in order to obtain a "Conditional No
Further Action Letter" from the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (NJDEP) which would allow the Company to finalize its groundwater
remediation program.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
COMMITMENTS:
A. RETIREMENT PLANS:
The Company adopted a non-contributory employee pension plan which
became effective January 1, 1972 and was consequently revised to
meet the requirements of the ERISA pension law. Substantially, all
employees were eligible to participate. Under the plan, the Company
was obligated to contribute such amounts as were actuarially
required to fund the plan. Effective October 1, 1987, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87,
Employers' Accounting for Pensions (FAS No. 87, for its
non-contributory defined benefit employee pension plan).
Effective September 9, 1994, The Company terminated the plan
pending approval of the Internal Revenue Service and the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Benefits provided by the plan ceased
accruing on the same date. As stated in Note 2, 10% of unsecured
claims in accordance with the confirmed plan of reorganization will
be provided from the after tax proceeds of the terminated plan. The
termination of the plan was finalized and the plan assets were
distributed on October 13, 1995. The 10% payments to the unsecured
creditors were made October 27, 1995.
Effective July 1, 1989, the Company adopted a defined contribution
plan for all eligible employees. In accordance with Internal
Revenue Code Section 401(k), the plan provides for elective
deferral of up to 15% of total compensation. The plan further
provided for a Company matching contribution of 25% of the elective
deferral amount of each participant that did not exceed 6% of total
compensation. Effective January 1, 1994, the matching Company
contribution was suspended due to the company's financial condition
and pending reorganization. Effective October 1, 1995, the Company
reinstated a matching contribution at 50% of the elective
27

Following an investigation by the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJDEP) of the Company's waste disposal
practices at a certain site that it formerly leased, the Company
put a ground water management plan into effect as approved by the
Department. Costs associated with this site are charged directly to
income as incurred. The lessor of this site has
29
<PAGE>

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
notified the Company that if the NJDEP investigation proves to have
interfered with a sale of the property, the lessor may seek to hold
the Company liable for any loss it suffers as a result. However,
corporate counsel has informed management that, in their opinion,
the lessor would not prevail in any lawsuit filed due to the
imposition by law of the statute of limitations.
Costs charged to operations in connection with the water management
plan amounted to $51,879 and $60,409 for the years ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company estimates the
expenditures in this regard for the fiscal year ending September
30, 1997 will amount to approximately $52,000. The Company will
continue to be liable under the plan in all future years until such
time as the NJDEP releases it from all obligations applicable
thereto.

========== =========
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes", requires that the Company record a valuation allowance when
it is "more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized". It further states that "forming a conclusion that a
valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence
such as cumulative losses in recent years".
The ultimate realization of this deferred income tax asset depends on
the ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future. The Company is
undergoing substantial restructuring changes and has made strategic realignments
of its operations in association with its Plan or Reorganization that management
believes will result in future profitability. While it is management's belief
that these measures will allow the total deferred income tax asset to be
realized by future operating results, the losses in recent years and a desire to
be conservative make it appropriate to record a valuation allowance.
Accordingly, the Company has provided a valuation allowance (based on
estimated future taxable income) for the portion of the total deferred income
tax asset that will not be realized as related to the operating loss
carryforward.
Income tax laws allow for the utilization of loss carryforwards over
periods not to exceed 15 and 7 years for Federal and State purposes,
respectively. If the Company is not able to generate sufficient taxable income
in the future through operating results, increases in the valuation allowance
will be required through a charge to expense (reducing stockholder's equity). In
the event the Company reports sufficient profitability to use all of the
deferred income tax assets, the valuation allowance will be eliminated through a
credit to expense (increasing stockholder's equity).

International Sales Corporation (DISC) under Section 992(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code. The Company is entitled to defer federal taxes on the income of
the DISC which amounted to $223,449 for 1994. This subsidiary ceased operations
effective October 1, 1994.
Cumulative undistributed earnings of the DISC subsequent to December

taxes since there is no intention to distribute the DISC income.
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state
purposes approximating $9,478,000 and $9,647,000 that will begin to expire
until the year 2006 and 1998, respectively. These loss carryforwards can be
utilized to reduce future taxable income dollar for dollar.
