Note 5- LOAN PAYABLE (continued):

                  In April 1997,  the  Company was  informed by the UDC that the
loan was sold and conveyed to WAMCO XXIV,  Ltd. All the terms and  conditions of
the loan remained in effect.

                  As of September  25, 1998,  the Company had failed to meet one
of the financial covenants of the loan agreement; namely that the "Company shall
be obligated to maintain a tangible  net worth of not less than  $1,300,000  and
the Company shall be obligated to maintain a ratio of current  assets to current
liabilities of 1.1 to 1.0.

                  The Company reported tangible net worth of $654,550. The ratio
of current assets to current liabilities was 1.01 to 1.0.

                  The Company had previously  received a waiver of this covenant
from the UDC  through  the period  ending  March 31,  1994 and has  applied  for
additional  waivers of this  covenant.  Neither the UDC or WAMCO XXIV,  Ltd. has
acted on these requests.

                  There are no  assurances  that the  Company  will  receive any
additional  waivers  of this  covenant.  Should  the  Company  not  receive  any
additional  waivers,  then it will  be  deemed  to be in  default  of this  loan
obligation and the entire loan plus interest will become due and payable.

Note 6- NOTES PAYABLE:

                  The  Company  was in arrears in the amount of  $236,000 to the
New York City Economic Development  Corporation  ("NYCEDC") for rent due for its
offices and manufacturing facilities.

                  In  May  1997,  the  Company  and  the  NYCEDC  negotiated  an
agreement for the Company to pay off its indebtedness  over a 48 month period by
the Company issuing notes payable to NYCEDC.

                  The notes bear  interest  at the rate of 8.25% per annum.  The
balance remaining at June 26, 1998 was $174,987.

Note 7- NOTES PAYABLE, EQUIPMENT:

                  The Company financed the acquisition of new computer equipment
and  software  with notes  payable.  The notes are  payable  over a sixty  month
period. The balance remaining at September 30, amounted to $48,120.

                        Aggregate future principal payments are as follows:

                           1999                    $10,198

Note 8- COMMITMENTS:

                  The Company has with the United Auto Workers of America, Local
259, a collective bargaining multi-employer pension plan. Contributions are made
in accordance  with a negotiated  labor  contract and are based on the number of
covered  employees  employed per month.  With the passage of the  Multi-Employer
Pension  Amendments  Act of 1980 ("The Act"),  the Company may become subject to
liabilities  in excess of  contributions  made under the  collective  bargaining
agreement.  Generally,  these  liabilities are contingent upon the  termination,
withdrawal or partial  withdrawal  from the Plan.  The Company has not taken any
action to  terminate,  withdraw or partially  withdraw from the Plan nor does it
intend to do so in the future.  Under the Act,  liabilities  would be based upon
the Company's proportional share of the Plan's unfunded vested benefits which is
currently not available.  The amount of  accumulated  benefits and net assets of
such  Plan  also  is  not  currently   available  to  the  Company.   The  total
contributions charged to operations under this pension plan were $19,861 for the
six months ended September 25, 1998.

                  In December  1993,  the  Company and Local 259 entered  into a
verbal  agreement  whereby the Company  would satisfy this debt by the following
payment schedule:

                  The sum of $10,000  will be paid by the Company  each month in
satisfaction of the current arrears until this total debt has been paid.

                  Additionally,  both  parties  agreed that  current  obligatory
funding by the Companywill be made on a timely current basis.

                  Effective  February  1, 1995,  the Company  withdrew  from the
Union's health and welfare plan and offered its employees an alternative  health
insurance plan.

                  As of September 25, 1998,  the Company  reported  arrears with
respect to its  contributions  to the  Union's  health and  welfare  and pension
plans.  The amount due the health and welfare  plan was  $155,189 and the amount
due the pension plan was $27,638

                  The  total   amount  due  of   $182,827  is  reported  on  the
accompanying  balance sheet in two  components;  $120,000  reported as a current
liability and $27,638 as a long-term liability.

                  On June 30, 1995, the Company  applied to the Pension  Benefit
Guaranty  Corporation  ("PBGC")  to have the PBGC  assume  all of the  Company's
responsibilities  and liabilities  under its Salaried Pension Plan. On April 26,
1996, the PBGC determined that the Salaried Pension Plan did not have sufficient
assets  available to pay  benefits  which were and are  currently  due under the
terms of the Plan.

                  The PBGC further determined that pursuant to the provisions of
the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") that
the Plan must be  terminated  in order to protect  the  interests  of the Plan's
participants. Accordingly, the PBGC proceeded pursuant to ERISA to have the Plan
terminated  and the PBGC  appointed as statutory  trustee,  and to have July 31,
1995 established as the Plan's termination date.

                                   (Unaudited)


Note 8- COMMITMENTS (continued):

                  At  September  25,  1998 and March 28,  1998,  $65,489  of the
pension liability is included in other current liabilities,  with the balance of
$516,966 shown as a long-term  liability.On  those dates, the long-term  portion
includes  $226,041,  which  represents  the  recognition  of additional  minimum
liability to comply with the  requirements  of Statement of Financial  Standards
No. 87.

                  In August 1998,  the Company was notified by the PBGC that the
Company is liable to the PBGC for the following amounts as of September 1, 1998:

                  $456,418   representing   the  amount  of   unfunded   benefit
                             liabilities   of  the  Plan 
                  $242,097   representing funding liability
                  $  2,931   representing the premium liability

                  The total amount claimed by the PBGC amounts to $701,446.

                  The amount  claimed is being  contested by the Company and the
PBGC has granted the
Company an extension of time until December 9, 1998 in which to file an appeal.

Note 9- CHANGES IN STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

                  The  Company  retired 34 shares of its issued and  outstanding
common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

                  Retained earnings (deficit) increased by $483 which represents
the net loss for the six months ended September 25, 1998.

Note 10- YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUE:

         The Company does not believe that the impact of the year 2000  computer
issue will have a significant  impact on its  operations or financial  position.
The  Company  has  allocated  approximately  $100,000  to upgrade  its  computer
operations to obviate any potential problems that might arise as a result of the
impact of the year 2000. To date the Company has acquired new computer equipment
at a cost of $65,847.  However,  if internal systems do not correctly  recognize
date information when the year changes to 2000, there could be an adverse impact
on the Company's operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that another
entity's failure to ensure year 2000 capability would not have an adverse effect
on the Company.

Comparative Analysis:

Operating  revenues  for the six months  ended  September  25, 1998  amounted to
$2,321,344,  reflecting  a 8.8%  decrease  versus  the  comparative  six  months
operating   revenues  of  $2,545,736.   The  decrease  is  a  direst  result  of
management's  to redirect its dependence on  governmental  and military sales to
developing new market sales in the commercial electronic sector.

Cost of products sold amounted to $1,688,136 for the six months ended  September
25, 1998 or 72.7% of operating revenues. This reflected a decrease of $81,345 or
4.6% in the cost of products sold of $1,769,481
for the six months ended  September 26, 1997.  This decrease is primarily due to
reduced  production  costs inherent in producing new products.  Cost of products
sold increased as a percentage of revenues in the comparative periods.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses were $421,972 or 18.2% of revenues
compared to $437,995 or 17.2% of revenues for the comparable  three month period
ended  September  26,  1997.  This  reflected  a decrease  of 3.7% and  reflects
management's efforts to better control expenses.

Interest  expense was $66,362 or 2.9% of revenues as compared to $52,373 or 2.1%
of revenues in the six month period ended  September 26, 1997.  This increase of
26.7%  reflects the  increase in borrowing by the Company in the current  fiscal
period.

Depreciation  and  amortization of $137,160 or 5.9% of revenues was reported for
the six month period ended  September 25, 1998. This reflects a decrease of 0.2%
from the  comparable  six month period ended  September  26, 1997 of $139,680 or
5.5% of revenues.  The decrease is a result of decreased  depreciation levels on
fixed assets during the six month period ended September 25, 1998.

The Company  reported a net loss of $483 for the six months ended  September 25,
1998,  representing  basic loss per common  share of $.0002 as compared to basic
income of $139,966 or $.06 per common share for the six months  ended  September
25, 1997.

The  resultant  decrease in net income can be attributed to reduced sales in the
commercial sector in the current six month period ending September 25, 1998.

Comparative Analysis:

Operating  revenues for the three months ended  September  25, 1998  amounted to
$1,087,695,  reflecting a 13.3%  decrease  versus the  comparative  three months
operating   revenues  of  $1,254,888.   The  decrease  is  a  direst  result  of
management's  to redirect its dependence on  governmental  and military sales to
developing new market sales in the commercial electronic sector.

Cost of products sold amounted to $808,837 for the three months ended  September
25, 1998 or 74.3% of operating revenues. This reflected a decrease of $76,080 or
8.6% in the  cost of  products  sold of  $884,917  for the  three  months  ended
September 26, 1997. This decrease is primarily due to reduced  production  costs
inherent in  producing  new  products.  Cost of  products  sold  increased  as a
percentage of revenues in the comparative periods.
<PAGE>
Selling,  general and administrative expenses were $207,487 or 19.2% of revenues
compared to $217,856 or 17.0% of revenues for the comparable  three month period
ended  September  26,  1997.  This  reflected  a decrease  of 4.8% and  reflects
management's efforts to better control expenses.

Interest  expense was $33,730 or 3.0% of revenues as compared to $30,763 or 2.0%
of revenues in the three month period ended September 26, 1997. This increase of
9.6%  reflects the  increase in  borrowing by the Company in the current  fiscal
period.

Depreciation  and  amortization  of $68,590 or 6.3% of revenues was reported for
the three month period ended  September  25, 1998.  This  reflects a decrease of
0.2% from the comparable  three month period ended September 26, 1997 of $69,840
or 5.9% of revenues.  The decrease is a result of decreased  depreciation levels
on fixed assets during the three month period ended September 25, 1998.

The Company  reported a net loss of $35,149 for the three months ended September
25, 1998, representing basic loss per common share of $.015 as compared to basic
income of $47,971 or $.02 per common share for the three months ended  September
25, 1997.

The  resultant  decrease in net income can be attributed to reduced sales in the
commercial sector in the current three month period ending September 25, 1998.

Item 5: Other Information

         In June 30, 1995, the Company applied to the Pension  Benefit  Guaranty
Corporation   ("PBGC")   to  have  the  PBGC   assume   all  of  the   Company's
responsibilities  and liabilities  under its Salaried Pension Plan. On April 26,
1996,  the Company was notified that the PBGC had granted the Company's  request
and agreed to assume the Company's obligations under the Salaried Pension Plan.

         In August,  1998 the PBGC  notified  of its  accounting  and order with
respect to the Salaried  Pension Plan. The PBGC determined that the Company owed
approximately (i) $456,000  representing  unfunded benefit  liabilities and (ii)
$242,000  representing funding liability.  The Company is reviewing the analysis
and order of the PBGC and  intends  to submit a proposal  to the PBGC  regarding
repayment  terms.  The  Company  does  not have  funds  available  to repay  the
liabilities in a single payment. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to negotiate  repayment terms upon terms  acceptable to it. The PBGC may
require  significant  periodic payments which may affect the Company's cash flow
and ability to use funds to operate and expand the  business.  In addition,  the
PBGC may place a lien upon the Company's assets which could impact the Company's
ability to obtain financing from third parties.
