NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
1) The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments, which are
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial position and the results of operations at and for the
periods presented. Such financial statements do not include all the information
or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation. Therefore, they should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated statements for the
year ended June 30, 1998 and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.
2) The Company has a $30,000,000 term loan and revolving line of credit facility
with its banks, which are based principally on eligible accounts receivables and
inventories as defined in the agreement. The agreement was amended to: (i)
extend the maturity date to September 13, 2000, (ii) change the interest rate to
a rate based on the average 30 day LIBOR rate plus 3/4 % to 1 1/4% depending on
the Company's performance for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters
measured by a certain financial ratio, and (iii) changed the requirements of
certain financial covenants. The applicable interest rate may be adjusted
quarterly and borrowings under this facility are collateralized by substantially
all of the assets of the Company.
3) The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the purchase of up to
650,000 shares of its outstanding common stock under a stock repurchase program.
The purchases may be made by the Company from time to time on the open market.
The Company has made purchases of 412,200 shares of its common stock as of May
14, 1999 for aggregate consideration of $2,204,515.
4) For interim financial reporting purposes, the Company uses the gross profit
method for computing inventories, which consists of goods held for resale, work
in process and raw materials.
5) In fiscal 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), "Earnings per Share." SFAS No.
128 replaces the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share
with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share,
basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and
convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the
previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share
amounts for all periods have been presented to conform to the SFAS No. 128
computation.

============== ================ ============= ============
</TABLE>
The diluted loss per common share for the nine months ended March 31,
1999 is based only on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, as the inclusion of 3,656 common share equivalents would have
been antidilutive.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999 options to purchase
584,230 and 613,564 shares of common stock, respectively, at a price range of
$2.69 to $12.75 and warrants to purchase 70,000 shares of common stock at $22.95
were outstanding during the period. The stock options and warrants not included
in the computation of diluted earnings per share was due to the exercise prices
being greater than the average market price of the common shares.
6) The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which
establishes guidelines for reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income and
its components. The purpose of reporting comprehensive income is to report a
measure of all changes in equity that resulted from recognized transactions and
other economic events of the periods presented other than transactions with
stockholders. Adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no economic impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position, net earnings, stockholders' equity or cash
flows, although the presentation of certain items has changed.
Comprehensive income and its components, net of tax, are as follows:

7) The Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" ( "SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 established standards to report
information about operating segments and related discussions about products and
services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS 131 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement permits early
application and requires restatement for all prior periods. SFAS 131 is not
required to be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of
adoption. Management believes that the adoption of this statement will not have
any material impact on previously reported information.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995:
Statements in this filing, and elsewhere, which look forward in time
involve risks and uncertainties which may effect the actual results of
operations. The following important factors, among others, have affected and, in
the future, could affect the Company's actual results: dependence on a limited
number of suppliers for products which generate a significant portion of the
Company's sales, the effect upon the Company of increases in tariffs or duties,
changes in trade treaties, strikes or delays in air or sea transportation and
possible future United States legislation with respect to pricing and/or import
quotas on products imported from foreign countries, and general economic
downturns in the electronics distribution industry which may have an adverse
economic effect upon manufacturers, end-users of electronic components and
electronic component distributors.
GENERAL
Jaco is a distributor of electronic components, provider of contract
manufacturing and value-added services. Products distributed by Jaco include
semiconductors, capacitors, resistors, electromechanical devices, flat panel
displays and monitors, and power supplies used in the assembly and manufacturing
of electronic equipment.
The Company's customers are primarily small and medium sized
manufacturers. The trend for these customers has been to shift certain
manufacturing functions to third parties ("Outsourcing"). The Company intends to
capitalize on this trend toward Outsourcing by increasing sales of products
enhanced by value-added services. Value-added services currently provided by
Jaco consist of full integration solutions with flat panel display, kitting
(e.g. supplying sets of specified quantities of products to a customer that are
prepackaged for ease of feeding the customer's production lines), automated
inventory management services and contract manufacturing through the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, Nexus Custom Electronics, Inc.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND MARCH 31, 1998
Net sales for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999 were $36.2
million and $104.4 million, respectively, compared to $38.3 million and $115.0
million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998, respectively,
representing decreases in net sales of 5.6% and 9.2%. The Company's net sales
were impacted by continued industry wide pricing pressures, compounded by the
softening demand for electronic components which has affected the electronics
industry for over two years. Sequentially, net sales has increased for two
quarters. Net sales for the fiscal third quarter grew 3.5% and 8.8% compared to
the fiscal second and fiscal first quarters, respectively. This growth is
primarily attributable to an increased penetration at the Company's account base
and an increased demand for active components (semiconductors and flat panel
displays) during the third quarter. Active component sales increased 6.5%
compared to the fiscal 1999 second quarter and 20.9% compared to the fiscal 1999
first quarter.
Gross profit margins as a percentage of net sales were 19.3% and 19.5%
for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999, respectively, compared to
20.6% and 20.8% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998,
respectively. The decreases are attributable to industry wide pricing pressures
and a change in product mix toward a greater amount of active components which,
historically, have a lower gross profit margin compared to passive components.
<PAGE>
FORM 10-Q March 31, 1999
Page 12
Selling, general and administrative (`SG&A') expenses for the three and
nine months ended March 31, 1999 were $6.5 million and $19.8 million,
respectively, representing decreases of $.7 and $1.4 million, or 9.1% and 6.7%,
when compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in
SG&A is the result of cost saving initiatives which the Company had implemented
in prior periods and a recovery during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 of
previously expensed legal fees.
Interest expense increased to $336,000 and $990,000 for the three and
nine months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $281,000 and $823,000 for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 1998, an increase of 19.5% and 20.3%
respectively. The increases are primarily attributable to increased net
borrowings due to the Company's purchases of its common stock under its stock
repurchase program, fixed asset additions primarily for contract manufacturing
and operational expenditures made to upgrade the Company's core financial and
reporting software.
Net earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999
were $71,000 and $(239,000) or $0.02 and $(0.06) per share, respectively,
compared to $263,000 and $1,124,000 or $0.07 and $0.29 per share, during the
same periods last fiscal year. The weighted average number of diluted shares
outstanding were 3,663,882 and 3,713,132 for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 1999, compared to 3,920,838 and 3,932,061 for the same periods last
fiscal year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's agreement with its banks, as amended, provides the
Company with a $30,000,000 term loan and revolving line of credit facility based
principally on eligible accounts receivable and inventories of the Company as
defined in the agreement which expires September 13, 2000. The interest rate of
the credit facility is based on the average 30 day LIBOR rate plus 3/4% to
1-1/4% depending on the Company's performance for the immediately preceding four
fiscal quarters measured by a certain financial ratio, and may be adjusted
quarterly. The outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit facility was
$18,704,453 at March 31, 1999. The term loan, with a remaining balance of
$428,571 at March 31, 1999, requires monthly principal payments of $17,857,
together with interest through September 13, 2000, with a final payment of
$107,146 due on September 13, 2000. Borrowings under this facility are
collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The agreement
contains provisions for maintenance of certain financial ratios, all of which
the Company is in compliance with at March 31, 1999 and prohibits the payment of
cash dividends.
For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 the Company's net cash used in
operating activities was approximately $.9 million compared to net cash provided
by operating activities of approximately $1.0 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998. The decrease is primarily attributable to the increase in
accounts receivable. Net borrowings under the Company's line of credit was
approximately $3.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 compared to
a $1.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The additional
borrowings is primarily attributable to the purchase of $.8 million of treasury
stock along with fixed asset additions primarily for the contract manufacturing
business. The Company's cash expenditure may vary significantly from current
levels, based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, future
acquisitions if any.
For the first nine months of fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998 inventory
turnover was 3.2:1 and 3.5:1, respectively. The average days outstanding of the
Company's accounts receivable at March 31, 1999 was 61 days, as compared to 53
days at March 31, 1998.
The Board of Directors of the Company had authorized the purchase of up
to 250,000 shares of its common stock under a stock repurchase program. During
fiscal 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an
additional 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The purchases may

be made by the Company from time to time on the open market at the Company's
discretion and will be dependent on market conditions. Through May 14, 1999 the
Company has purchased 412,200 shares of its common stock for aggregate
consideration of $2,204,515 under this program.
The Company believes that cash flow from operations and funds available
under its credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Company's capital needs
for at least the next twelve months.
Year 2000 Compliance
The year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the result of computer programs using a
two-digit format, as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. Such computer
systems will be unable to interpret dates beyond the year 1999, which could
cause a system failure or other computer errors, leading to disruptions in
operations. In April 1996, the Company developed a three-phase program for Y2K
information systems compliance. Phase I was to identify those systems with which
the Company has exposure to Y2K issues. Phase II was the development and
implementation of action plans to be Y2K compliant in all areas by late 1998.
Phase III, to be fully completed by mid 1999, is the final major area of
exposure to ensure compliance. The Company has identified three major areas
determined to be critical for successful Y2K compliance: (1) financial and
informational system applications, (2) manufacturing applications and (3) third
party relationships.
As of September 1, 1998, Jaco had completed the redesign and
development of an entirely new distribution software system. All of the dates in
this new database are 8 characters, including the century. The system has been
tested and has been in operation since September 1, 1998. The systems include
customer order entry, purchase order entry to the Company's manufacturers,
warehousing and inventory control.
The financial systems, Accounts Payable and General Ledger have been
Y2K compliant since April 1997. The Accounts Receivable system is Y2K compliant
as of September 1, 1998.
Jaco's distribution facilities: warehouse, shipping and other physical
handling have been tested and are Y2K compliant.
The Company, as it relates to the contract manufacturing operations in
accordance with Phase I of the program, is in the process of conducting an
internal review of all systems and contacting all software suppliers to
determine major areas of exposure to Y2K issues. In the financial and
information system area a number of applications have been identified as Y2K
compliant due to their recent implementation. The contract manufacturing core
financial and reporting systems are not Y2K compliant, but are scheduled to be
completed and fully tested by late 1999. The costs relating to Y2K compliance in
the contract manufacturing area are not expected to be material to the Company.
In the third party area, the Company has contacted most of its major third
parties. These parties state that they intend to be Y2K compliant by the year
2000.
The Company believes it will cost approximately $1.8 million to replace
the core financial and reporting software systems for its distribution business.
The Company is utilizing outside consultants to undertake a portion of such
work.
INFLATION
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations
during the last three fiscal years.
