                         CONNECTIVITY TECHNOLOGIES INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)


Note 1 - Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

               The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein
have been prepared by Connectivity Technologies Inc. ("CTI" or "the Company")
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures which are made are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Further, the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information,
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K and reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the
periods indicated.

               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 could differ from those estimates.

               These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read
in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto
included in CTI's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
1997.

               The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. The Company incurred a loss in 1997 and for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and has a working capital deficiency. Also, as
further described in Note 4, the Company has negotiated an amendment to its
revolving credit and term loan facility, under which, among other things, all
amounts outstanding are to become due on November 30, 1998. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.

               Management's plans to resolve these matters presently include the
sale of the Company's Energy Electric Assembly (EEA) division (see note 6). A
written offer has been received by the Company for EEA. If a sale is
successfully consummated, the proceeds from the sale would be applied against
the outstanding balance due under the revolving credit facility and the Company
would seek to refinance or amend its credit facility in order to extend the
repayment terms. In addition, the Company has recently formed a new management
team and is currently making changes in its operations in order to improve
profitability and to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations.
Operational changes include, but are not limited to, 




                                       6






<PAGE>   7
focusing solely on the BSCC division following the sale of EEA, the
installation of new machinery which will augment existing product lines and the
implementation of a new costing system which should enable the Company to better
analyze the profitability of its product lines.

               There can be no assurance that management will be successful in
its efforts to sell the EEA division at a price acceptable to the Board of
Directors. Further, there can be no assurance that management will be successful
in its efforts to refinance or amend its credit facility at commercially
available rates and with favorable repayment terms, or carry out its operational
plan. If the Company's efforts are not successful, the lenders would be in a
position to commence legal proceedings against the Company for the repayment of
the entire debt, plus certain amounts, and to proceed against the Company's
assets. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.


Note 2 - Comparative 1997 Financial Statements

               The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations
and cash flows do not include comparative information for the corresponding
period of the preceding year. The Company disclosed in its annual report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997, that several significant
adjustments, increasing the 1997 loss from continuing operations by
approximately $14,447,000 and increasing the gain on sale of discontinued
operations by approximately $3,483,000, were recorded during the fourth quarter
of 1997. The Company is in the process of estimating the effect of these
adjustments on previously reported results of operations for each quarter of
1997. When its analysis is complete, the Company will file an amended Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, to present restated financial statements
for the comparable 1997 quarter.


Note 3 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

               The primary business of the Company is the manufacture and sale
of wire and cable products. The major market served by the Company is industrial
(commercial and residential security, factory automation, traffic and transit
signal control and audio systems).

               The Company's first quarter 1998 condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of CTI and operations of its 85% owned 
subsidiary (see Note 5) Connectivity Products Incorporated ("CPI"). All 
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in 
consolidation.

                Certain reclassifications of amounts reported in the
accompanying December 31, 1997, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet have been
made to permit comparison with March 31, 1998 classifications.

Note 4 - Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility

               On July 10, 1998, the Company's subsidiary, CPI, failed to make a
required payment of approximately $5,000,000 due on its revolving credit and
term loan facility. The loan balance was reduced by approximately $2,050,000 in
August, 1998, with proceeds received from the sale of marketable securities. On
September 1, 1998, CPI and its lenders finalized a Forbearance Agreement and
Tenth Amendment (the "Agreement") to the existing loan agreement. Under the
terms of the Agreement, the maximum principal balance was reduced from
$20,000,000 to $17,946,680, reflecting the sale of the marketable securities
discussed above. Proceeds from the sale of one of CPI's operating divisions also
are to be used to repay outstanding borrowings (see note 6). The terms of the
Agreement provide that it will expire on November 30, 1998, at which time all
outstanding borrowings will become payable. Interest is to accrue at the bank's
base rate (8.5% at September 1, 1998) plus 2%. The Agreement contains various
financial and operating covenants, including meeting monthly minimum EBITDA
requirements, maintaining the overadvance amount to certain predetermined
levels, and limiting capital expenditures to a specific agreed upon amount. In
the event of any default, interest is to accrue at the bank's base rate plus 6%.


Note 5 - Subordinated Debt

               On June 30, 1998, four stockholders of CPI assigned all of their
rights, title and interest in their subordinated notes ($3,352,800 plus accrued
interest of approximately $166,000), outstanding common stock of CPI (64 shares,
representing 8% of the total outstanding common stock of CPI) and outstanding
stock options of CTI (114,705 options) to CPI and CTI. In exchange, the Company
has agreed not to assert any claims concerning any matters against these former
stockholders. The agreement required consents, which were received in July 1998,
from outside third parties.

               On August 26,1998 the Company entered into an agreement with
another stockholder pursuant to which the stockholder transferred to CTI and CPI
subordinated notes of $1,414,600 plus accrued interest of approximately $94,000,
33.7941 shares of common stock of CPI (representing 4.41% of the outstanding
common shares of CPI), 90,669 stock options of CTI and cash of $325,000. This
agreement required consents from outside third parties, which were received in
September 1998.

               These agreements have reduced the balance of subordinated notes
payable to $882,600 at August 26, 1998.

Note 6 - Assets Held for Sale

               The Company is currently negotiating the sale of its Energy
Electric Assembly (EEA) division and, accordingly, has classified the assets of
EEA as Assets Held for Sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet. Net sales of the division approximated $3.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. Net proceeds after income taxes received from the sale of
the division are to be used to repay outstanding indebtedness.

Note 8 - Comprehensive Income (Loss)

               As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted FASB Statement No.
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (Statement 130). Statement 130 established
new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components. Statement 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's
available-for-sale securities which, prior to adoption, were reported separately
in stockholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive income. During
the first quarter of 1998, total comprehensive loss amounted to $605,038 and
consisted of the following:

                       Net loss                                     $(290,275)
                       Unrealized loss on marketable securities      (314,763)
                                                                    ---------- 

                                                                    $(605,038)
                                                                    ========== 


Note 9 - Marketable Securities

               Marketable securities with a fair value of approximately
$2,714,000 at March 31, 1998, were sold during August 1998. Net proceeds of
approximately $2,050,000 received from the sale were used to reduce outstanding
borrowings (see Note 4).


Note 10 - Discontinued Operations

               Income from discontinued operations of $38,151 recognized during
1998 resulted from the final settlement of the sale price of the Company's
Energy Electric Cable division, which was sold in 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

MARCH 31, 1998

The primary business of Connectivity Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "CTI")
is the manufacture and sale of wire and cable products. The major market served
by the Company is industrial (commercial and residential security, factory
automation, traffic and transit signal control and audio systems).

Before acquiring 85% of the common stock of Connectivity Products Incorporated
("CPI") as of May 31, 1996, the Company's principal activity consisted of
seeking and evaluating candidates for acquisition. The Company's goals are to
grow internally through capacity expansions and product line extensions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating results for the period ended March 31, 1997 are not available at the
time of this filing (see Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements). When the information becomes available upon the Company's
completion of its analysis of significant 1997 fourth quarter adjustments and
the related effect on previously reported results of operations, this discussion
will be amended to include a comparison of the results of operations for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998, with those of the corresponding period of the
preceding year. Because comparative information for the first quarter of 1997 is
not available, the following discussion compares operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, to the year ended December 31, 1997.

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 18.4% during the quarter
from 15.1% for the preceding year. The increase is attributable principally to
increased manufacturing efficiencies inherent in new machinery acquired and new
manufacturing and scheduling processes implemented by management. Stabilization
of copper prices over the three month period also are reflected in improved
gross margin performance; whereas in 1997 decreases in copper commodity prices,
which are directly related to sales prices, lowered gross margins.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 17.4% of net sales for
the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to 25.0% for the year ended
December 31, 1997. The decrease is attributable to a number of factors including
bonuses and severance payments made to former management and directors in 1997;
write off of deferred debt issuance costs of approximately $460,000 in 1997;
greater professional fees in 1997; and cost-saving measures instituted by
current management.




                                       10



<PAGE>   11

The average interest rate approximated 8.8% for the three months ended March 31,
1998, as compared to 8.6% for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in
interest rates is attributable to a reduction in principal subject to
preferential LIBOR rates during the three months ended March 31, 1998.

The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit on losses incurred in the
current period because management is unable to conclude it is more likely than
not that any such benefits will be realized in the future.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

The accompanying statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1998 reports cash used in operating activities of approximately $3,069,000.
Included in the determination of cash flows from operating activities are tax
payments of approximately $2,700,000 related to the taxable gain realized on the
sale of its Energy Electric Cable division in 1997. This tax payment was
financed with proceeds from long-term borrowings. Increased inventory levels
resulted in approximately $328,000 of cash flows used in operating activities,
primarily caused by an inventory build since December 31, 1997. This is a normal
trend at March 31 as the Company reduced its inventory levels at December 31,
1997 in anticipation of a holiday plant shutdown and a physical inventory. Cash
flows of approximately $808,000 were provided by a reduction of receivables at
the BSCC division, primarily due to collection efforts. A decrease in assets
held for sale, primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable at
EEA, due to collection efforts resulted in approximately $331,000 of cash flows
provided by operating activities. The Company used approximately $487,000 in
operating cash flows to reduce accounts payable as a concerted effort has been
made to keep payments slightly below accepted trade terms. Decreased accrued
liabilities used approximately $828,000 in operating cash flows, primarily
caused by a change in paying a major copper vendor in cash.

Purchased manufacturing equipment for the BSCC division primarily accounted for
approximately $571,000 of cash used in investing activities. As mentioned above,
long-term borrowings of $2,700,000 were used for tax payments. In addition to
the tax payments, long-term borrowings totaling $4,000,000 were used for the
purchase of equipment, the repayment of subordinated debt, and for the financing
of working capital.

As described in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, the Company has negotiated a Forbearance Agreement and
tenth amendment to its revolving credit facility, which to date has been the
Company's principal external source of capital. The terms of the new agreement
extend the existing facility to November 30, 1998. The Company intends to enter
into discussions with its lender regarding further financing beyond this date.
However, no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in
obtaining financing with its current lender beyond November 30, 1998, or from
any other source. If the Company is not successful obtaining other financing
beyond November 30, 1998, the lenders would be in a position to commence legal
proceedings against the Company for the repayment of the entire debt plus
certain other amounts 





                                       11




<PAGE>   12
and to proceed against the Company's assets. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

At March 31, 1998 the Company had $5,650,000 of subordinated notes payable
outstanding which had been issued in 1996 for the redemption of stock in
connection with the acquisition of CPI. On June 30, 1998 four stockholders of
the Company assigned all of their rights, title, and interest in their
subordinated notes ($3,352,800), outstanding common stock of CPI (64 shares,
representing 8% of the total outstanding common stock of CPI) and outstanding
stock options of CTI (114,705 options) to CPI and CTI. The assignment was
finalized in July 1998 upon receipt of required consents from outside third
parties. On August 26, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with another
stockholder pursuant to which the stockholder transferred to CPI and CTI
subordinated notes of $1,414,600, 33.7941 shares of common stock of CPI
(representing 4.41% of the outstanding common shares of CPI), 90,669 outstanding
stock options of CTI and cash of $325,000. This agreement required consents from
outside third parties, which were received in September 1998. These agreements
have reduced the balance of subordinated notes payable to $882,600 at  August
26, 1998.


SAFE HARBOR PROVISION OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

The statements contained in Item 2 (Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations) that were not historical facts
may be forward-looking statements. Whenever possible, the Company has identified
these forward-looking statements by words such as "believes", "plans",
"intends", and similar expressions. The Company cautions readers that these
forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties
that could cause the Company's actual results in the remainder of 1998 and
beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. These risks and uncertainties
are more fully described in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission including, without limitation, general economic and business
conditions affecting the industries of the Company's customers, competition from
other manufacturers and assemblers that have greater financial, technical, and
marketing resources than the Company, the Company's ability to adequately
address its going concern issues in a timely matter including, without
limitation, its ability to sell EEA, reduce its debt, and negotiate a longer
term credit facility.
