               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders of
    the Elba Group:

We have audited the  accompanying  combined balance sheet of Elba Electric GmbH,
Elba  Modul  GmbH,   Elba  Elektronic  AG,  Elba   Electronics   Ltd.  and  Elba
Electric-Produktion  s. r. o. (collectively the "Elba Group") as of December 31,
1996 and the related combined  statements of income,  retained earnings and cash
flows for the year 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 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 the Elba Group as of December
31, 1996 and the results of their  operations  and their cash flows for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

<PAGE>

       Minority Interest-

Minority interest  represents the minority  shareholders'  proportional share of
the equity in the income and the net assets of Elba  Electronique  S.A.R.L.  and
KRP  Power  Source  B.V.  Elba   Electronic  GmbH  owns  70%  and  60%  of  Elba

Schultz  together  own 20% of  Elba  Electronique  S.A.R.L.  The  remaining  10%
ownership of Elba  Electronique  S.A.R.L.  and 40% ownership of KRP Power Source
B.V. are included in minority  interest in the accompanying  combined  financial
statements.

       Cash-

Cash includes cash held in demand deposit accounts.

       Revenue Recognition-

The Company recognizes revenue as products are shipped or services are rendered.
Net sales are  comprised of gross sales less  provisions  for expected  returns,
discounts  and other  sales  allowances.  Reserves  for  estimated  returns  are
established by the Company  concurrently  with the  recognition of revenue.  The
amount of  reserves  are  established  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles  based  upon  consideration  of  a  variety  of  factors,
including  actual return,  experience for products during the past several years
by product  type and the market for the  product.  Actual  product  returns are,
however, dependent upon future events and may differ from established estimates.

       Inventories-

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, on a first-in,  first-out basis, or
market.

       Property, Plant and Equipment-

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using
a declining balance method that  approximates the straight-line  method over the
estimated  useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold  improvements  are recorded at
cost and are amortized using the  straight-line  method over the remaining lease
term or the economic useful life,  whichever is shorter.  Expenditures for major
additions  and   improvements  are   capitalized,   while  minor   replacements,
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

       Product Warranty-

Generally, the Company offers a one year warranty on the majority of its product
sales. The Company  recognizes  estimated product warranty costs at the time the
related  products  are sold based on sales  levels and costs  incurred  in prior
years.

       Fair Value of Financial Instruments-

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable,  other
assets,  loans  payable,  accounts  payable,  accrued  liabilities  and  due  to
shareholders.  The  amounts  of these  financial  instruments  reflected  in the
accompanying  combined  balance sheet as of December 31, 1996  approximate  fair
market value due to their short-term nature and market rates of interest.

       Foreign Currency Translation-

The Company's  functional  currencies  include the Deutsche Mark, Dutch Guilder,
French  Franc,  Swiss Franc and British  Sterling.  Assets and  liabilities  are
translated from their functional currency into U.S. dollars using exchange rates
in effect at the balance  sheet date.  Income and expense  items are  translated
using  average  exchange  rates for the  period.  The  effect of  exchange  rate
fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S.
dollars is included in shareholders' equity.

       Income Taxes-

Income  taxes  provided  reflect the current and deferred  tax  consequences  of
events that have been  recognized in the Company's  financial  statements or tax
returns.

       Concentration of Credit Risk-

The financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consists  principally of accounts  receivable.  The Company sells
its products to  customers  primarily in Europe.  The Company  performs  ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers'  financial condition and generally does not
require collateral.  The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses,
and such losses have been within management's expectations.  Management believes
the Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk.

       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
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(3)  INVENTORIES:

The components of inventories are as follows:

             UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following tables set forth selected  unaudited pro forma combined  financial
data for Computer Products,  Inc. ("CPI") for the fiscal year ended  January 3,
1997 and for the  twenty-six  week period ended July 4, 1997 after giving effect
to the acquisition, as if it had been consummated, with respect to the statement
of operations data, at the beginning of the periods presented,  or, with respect
to  balance  sheet  data,  as of the date  presented.  The  unaudited  condensed
combined pro forma financial  statements were prepared  utilizing the accounting
policies of the respective  entities as outlined in their  historical  financial
statements except as described in the accompanying notes.

The acquisition of the Elba Group was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.  Accordingly,  the unaudited  condensed combined pro forma financial
statements reflect CPI's preliminary  allocation of purchase price of Elba which
will be subject to further  adjustments  as CPI finalizes the  allocation of the
purchase price in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The
unaudited pro forma combined financial data do not reflect any cost savings or
synergies  anticipated  by  Computer  Products'  management  as a result  of the
acquisition. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined results
of  operations  do not  necessarily  reflect  actual  results  which  would have
occurred if the  acquisition  had taken place at the  beginning  of the earliest
period  presented  or as  of  the  date  indicated,  nor  are  they  necessarily
indicative of the results of future combined operations.

                         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                   CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The pro forma  adjustments with respect to the Elba Group acquisition have been
applied to the pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as if the acquisition
had taken place on July 4, 1997, or as of the beginning of the periods presented
in the case of the pro forma combined condensed statements of operations for the
fiscal year ended January 3, 1997 and the  twenty-six week period ended July 4,
1997. The adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain
estimates and assumptions as discussed below.

The following  adjustments  have been made in the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statements to give effect to the acquisition of the Elba Group:

(A)The purchase price for the capital stock of the Elba Group was approximately 
   $28.5 million in cash. Direct acquisition costs of approximately $1.6 million
   were also incurred. Such purchase price is subject to a downward
   adjustment based upon a  post-closing  audit  pursuant  to the  terms of the 
   Elba  Purchase Agreement.  The estimated amounts recorded for assets and
   liabilities may differ from the final assigned values as determined by the 
   audit of the Elba Group as of July 22, 1997.
   
   The purchase  price was funded by proceeds  from two  seven-year  term loans
   from First Union  National  Bank,  London Branch in the  aggregate  principal
   amount of 52 million  Deutsche  Marks, or approximately $28.5 million.
   The loans bear interest at Libor plus .75%, or  approximately  5.6%. 
   Debt issuance costs incurred in connection  with obtaining the loans were
   capitalized at approximately $100,000 and are being amortized  over the life 
   of the  loans. Amortization  of such  costs was not reflected in the pro 
   forma statements due to immateriality.

   The land and buildings acquired were recorded at their estimated fair market
   values  based on the result of an independent appraisal. Pro forma adjustment
   for depreciation expense was not presented due to immateriality.The excess of
   the purchase price versus the net assets acquired,after giving  effect to the
   fair  market  value for land and  buildings,  was  recorded as goodwill to be
   amortized over 20 years.

(B)To record amortization of goodwill based on a 20 year life in connection with
   the Elba Group acquisition.

(C)To record interest expense on the debt incurred to finance the acquisition of
   the Elba Group.

(D)To recognize  the income tax effect of pro forma  adjustments  related to the
   acquisition of the Elba Group.

The pro forma  results have been prepared for  comparative  purposes only and do
not purport to indicate  what  necessarily  would have occurred had the entities
been  acquired  at the  beginning  of the periods  presented,  or as of the date
indicated, nor what results may be in the future.
