                            (Unaudited)


1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The accounting policies followed by quarterly financial reporting are the
same as those disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Company's report on Form 10K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1999.

2.  INVENTORIES:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Inventory at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 consisted primarily of
finished goods.

3.  INCOME /(LOSS)PER SHARE:

Income (loss) per common share is computed based upon the  weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding
for each period.  As of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, common
equivalent shares include the dilutive effect of stock options using the
treasury stock method.
















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

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial condition and results
of operation during the period included in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISK

This quarterly report may contain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These
forward-looking statements are based largely on  the Company's expectations
and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, certain of which are
beyond the Company's control. Actual results could differ materially from
these forward-looking statements as a result of such risks and uncertainties
including, among others, general economic conditions, governmental regulation
and competitive factors, and, more specifically, interest rate levels
availability of financing, consumer confidence and preferences, the
effectiveness of the Company's competitors, and costs of materials and
labor. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance
that the forward-looking information contained in this quarterly report will
in fact transpire.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital has a deficit of approximately $2,461,000 at June 30, 2000,
an increase of approximately   $484,000 from December 31, 1999.  The ratio
of current assets to current liabilities at June 30, 2000 was .52 to 1, as
compared to .46 to 1 at December 31, 1999.  The Company has met its working
capital requirements for the six months ended June 30, 2000 primarily from
a combination of internally generated funds and the used of cash  and cash
equivalents.

The Company  utilizes a revolving credit facility with Congress Financial
Corporation ("Congress") providing for borrowings up to $7,500,000 which
expires on December 31, 2000.  Maximum borrowings are tied by formula to
eligible accounts receivable and inventories.  Interest is charged on
outstanding borrowings at prime plus 2.5%.  This credit facility is secured
by all the accounts receivable and inventories of the Company. As of June 30,
2000 and December 31, 1999, borrowings outstanding under this credit facility
amounted to approximately $ 1,007,,000 and $1,001,000, respectively, and are
classified as current liabilities.

This credit facility with Congress contains certain restrictive covenants.
The minimum net worth requirements were not met by the Company as of
June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.  However, the lender has waived the
minimum net worth requirements through December 31, 2000. The Company may
not meet this covenant during 2000.  Management anticipates that this credit
facility may be renegotiated  or extended in 2000.

The Company has another credit facility from a financial institution in the
amount of $750,000, which is due on demand. Interest is charged on
outstanding borrowings at prime plus 1%. The company commenced borrowings
under this line in 1997. As of June 30, 2000 and December 31,1999 borrowings
outstanding under this credit facility  were  $750,000. In addition to this
credit facility the Company  borrowed from the same institution $1,520,000
that was used primarily to pay off the second mortgage on the land and
building to Congress Financial and to payoff the loan on the first mortgage
to First Union. The balance of the note on June 30,2000 was $1,214,000.

The Company  has another credit line from a financial institution in the
amount of $800,000 due on demand. Interest is charged on outstanding
borrowings at prime plus 2%. As of June 30, 2000 borrowings under this line
of credit amounted to $799,000. This line of credit facility is secured by
a subsidiary's accounts receivable and inventory.

The Company, during 1992, obtained an additional credit facility from a
financial institution in the amount of $1,200,000. This facility was
collateralized by $300,000 in interest-bearing deposits and interest is
charged on outstanding borrowings at prime plus 2.5%, which deposits were
used to pay down the loan during l996. At June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999
borrowings under this line amounted to $18,000 and $177,000 respectively.

Management believes that through existing credit facilities and the continued
commitment by the Company's principal stockholder to provide additional
financing at his discretion, the Company will be able to meet its working
capital requirements during 2000.

FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
The Company's stockholders' equity at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999
was ($2,488,000) and ($2,968,000), respectively. During the second quarter
of 2000, management continued to implement its plan to reduce the Company's
losses. In the second quarter of 2000 the Company continued sales of the new
line of TVs and Audio Equipment under the name of "Memorex" in the canadian
market, which they started last year. It is anticipated that the addition
of this new line of products will provide  an improvement in the
profitability of the Company  . However, the company's ability to
successfully implement its plan to reduce losses is dependent upon a number
of factors beyond its control. These factors include the overall retail
climate and competition, the success of new products and sales efforts, and
fluctuation in the  supply and costs of products sold. There can be no
assurance that the Company's sales or financial condition will improve during
fiscal year 2000.
