                                     PART I
Item 1.    Business
- -------    --------

General
- -------

         TNR Technical, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on October 4, 1979
under the laws of the State of New York. The Company designs, assembles and
markets high technology batteries, multi-cell battery packs and rechargeable
power supplies to a variety of industrial markets. The Company is an authorized
distributor for several major battery manufacturers, which products are
distributed nationally by Company and are sold at its retail store. The
Company's business is conducted principally at its two facilities in Sanford,
Florida and Irvine, California.

Industrial and Distribution Programs
- ------------------------------------

         The Company is an authorized distributor of (1) nickel-cadmium and
sealed lead-acid batteries and (ii) lithium cells and batteries manufactured by
Saft America, Powersonic Battery, Varta Battery, Yuasa, Duracell, Renata, GP
Battery, Eveready Battery, Sony and Sanyo Energy. As an authorized distributor,
the Company purchases cells, assembles them into battery packs and maintains an
inventory for resale. The Company sells its battery cells and/or battery packs
to the industrial users and wholesalers without geographical limitation and on a
non-exclusive basis. The Company also designs and assembles battery packs to
customers' specifications. The Company's batteries supply portable power for
tools, instruments, medical equipment, communications equipment, photography,
radios and remote control airplanes, video recorders, lighting, toys and
cellular telephones. The Company's batteries supply standby power for electronic
equipment, computer memories, emergency lighting, fire and burglar alarms,
electronic cash registers, logic systems, medical instruments and communications
systems.

         Sales under industrial and distribution programs accounted for
substantially all of the Company's total revenues during the Company's past
three fiscal years and no one customer accounted for 10% or more of the
Company's total revenues during these years. At July 31, 1997 and 1996, the
Company had no significant backlog.

Retail Program
- --------------

         The Company previously maintained a retail store consisting of
approximately 300 square feet in Sanford, Florida where the Company sold (I)
nickel-cadmium and sealed lead-acid batteries and (ii) lithium cells and
batteries under the name "Your Battery Store." In its retail store, the Company
offered to consumers the same products that it sells directly to the industrial
users and wholesalers. The Company promoted its retail store by advertising in
the local yellow pages and newspapers. In April 1997, the Company closed its
retail store to concentrate its efforts on its wholesale operations.

                                        2

<PAGE>

Competition
- -----------

         There are numerous companies producing and marketing batteries which
compete with those sold by the Company, including larger companies, battery
manufacturers and companies with a wider range of products and greater financial
and technical resources than the Company.

         It should be noted that the Company's products and proposed products
are technological in nature and that modern technology often progresses rapidly.
Accordingly, the Company's present and proposed products are subject to the risk
of obsolescence because of technological innovation by competitors.

Employees
- ---------

         At September 10, 1997, the Company had twenty-seven employees which
include nine salespersons (including two executive officers), four clerical
persons, two warehouse and shipping personnel and ten factory workers.

Item 2.    Properties
- -------    ----------

         The Company's principal executive office, sales, distribution and
assembly facility is located at 301 Central Park Drive, Sanford, Florida 32771.
These facilities, which consist of approximately 8,000 square feet of space, are
leased from RKW Holdings Ltd., a Florida Limited Partnership, controlled by
Wayne Thaw, an executive officer and director of the Company. The Florida lease
provides for a term of ten years with a base annual rent of $59,800 in year one
of the term with annual increases of five percent over the preceding year's base
rent. The Company is also responsible for the payment of all sales, use and
other taxes related to the leased facilities. The Company also leases a sales,
distribution and assembly facility at 17779 Main Street, Irvine, California
92614. These facilities consist of 1,620 square feet of space. The California
lease expires on June 14, 1998 unless extended by the Company for up to one
additional year. The Company pays a base rent of approximately $1,225 per month.
The Company owns production equipment, primarily welding, soldering, testing,
pneumatic and material handling equipment, and inspection equipment which has
been sufficient for its needs to date.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings
- -------    -----------------

         There are no material legal proceedings to which the Company is a
party.

Item 4.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
- -------    ----------------------------------------------------

         No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.

          The foregoing quotations represent approximately inter-dealers prices,
without retail markup, markdown or commission and do not represent actual
transactions. Such quotations should not be viewed as necessarily indicative of
the price that could have been obtained on that date for a substantial number of
securities due to the limited market and trading volume for the Company's
securities. On August 28, 1997, the last sale was $3.38.

         The approximate number of holders of record of the Company's Common
Stock, as of September 10, 1997 was 1,536 as supplied by the Company's transfer
agent, American Stock Transfer Company, 40 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005.

         No cash dividends have been paid by the Company on its Common Stock and
no such payment is anticipated in the foreseeable future.

Item 7.    Managements Discussion and Analysis of
- -------    --------------------------------------
           Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
           ----------------------------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         Working capital amounted to $1,677,501 at July 31, 1997 as compared to
$1,569,635 at July 31, 1996 as compared to $1,456,548 at July 31, 1995. Cash and
short-term investments amounted to $556,468 at July 31, 1997 as compared to
$774,570 at July 31, 1996 as compared to $608,161 at July 31, 1995. As more
fully described in the "Statements of Cash Flows" included in the Company's
Financial Statements elsewhere herein, net cash provided by (used in) operating
activities for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1997, July 31, 1996 and July 31,
1995 were ($166,403), $242,858, and ($83,021), respectively.

           During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company's net income contributed to
cash flows from operating activities. In 1997 net cash was used in operating
activities primarily as a result of substantial increases in accounts receivable
and inventories partially offset by the Company's net income and increases in
accounts payable. The substantial increase in inventory is primarily due to low
inventory levels at July 31, 1996 in anticipation of the Company's move to its
new facilities in Sanford, Florida in the summer of 1996. During 1997, net cash
was provided by investing activities as a result of reduction in short term
investments partially offset by purchase of property and equipment.

           In 1996, cash flow from operating activities was increased
substantially by decreases in inventories partially offset by increases in
accounts receivable. The substantial decrease in inventory is primarily due to
the Company's move to its new facilities as described above. With respect to
accounts payable, the balance of accounts payable was decreased approximately
$150,000 during the year ended July 31, 1996, as a result of the availability of
cash which was primarily caused by substantially decreased levels of inventory
purchases for the reasons discussed above. During 1996, net cash was provided by
investing activities as a result of reduction in short term investments
partially offset by purchase of property and equipment.

         In 1995, cash was used in operating activities primarily as a result of
increases in inventories and deferred income taxes partially offset by the
Company's net income. Management purchased larger than customary volumes of
product during the latter half of 1995 primarily to take advantage of certain
price breaks offered at the time and in anticipation of increased sales in
fiscal 1996 over fiscal 1995. In early 1996 as a result of strong, but not
dramatically increased sales, further purchases of inventory were substantially
reduced which caused inventory levels to decrease to more manageable and
appropriate level given the volume of sales experienced over the past three
years. During 1995, net cash was used in investing activities to increase short
term investments and purchase property and equipment. During the past three
years, the Company did not have any external sources of financing.
                                        6

<PAGE>

         During the past three years, the Company's liquidity needs has been
satisfied from internal sources including cash from operations and amounts
available from the Company's working capital. During fiscal 1998, Management
expects this trend to continue. There are no material commitments for capital
expenditures or any long-term credit arrangements as of July 31, 1997.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         Sales for 1997 increased $446,886 or approximately 12% as compared to
fiscal 1996. Sales for 1996 increased by approximately $82,000 or 2% as compared
to fiscal 1995. The sales increases were due to increased demand for the
Company's products from the Company's existing client base and from new
customers. During the past three years, no customer accounted for more than 10%
of revenues. The Company's gross margin fluctuated slightly over the past three
years primarily due to changes in product mix.

         Operating (selling, general and administrative) expenses increased
during fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996 and for fiscal 1996 as compared to
fiscal 1995, substantially due to increases in rent, insurance, administrative
salaries and depreciation. Operating expenses when expressed as a percentage of
net sales was 23.0%, 22.7%, and 21.5%, for fiscal 1997, fiscal 1996 and fiscal
1995, respectively.

         During the past three years, the Company did not charge its operations
with any research and development costs.

         Net income for fiscal 1997 was $88,701 as compared to $135,398, for
fiscal 1996 as compared to a net income for fiscal 1995 of $437,982. Net income
per share for fiscal 1997, fiscal 1996 and 1995 were $.34, $.52 and $1.67,
respectively.

         Management of TNR Technical, Inc. has received a number of comments
from its odd lot stockholders regarding the costs associated with any sale of
their odd lots. Further, Management would like to reduce TNR's expense of
maintaining mailings to odd lot holders. Accordingly, TNR will from time-to-time
privately purchase from odd lot holders of its common stock, such odd lots (i.e.
99 shares or less) from its stockholders of record on December 15, 1995 so long
as such purchases would not have the effect of reducing TNR's record holders to
500 or less. The purchase price to be paid will be based upon the closing asked
price on the NASD electronic bulletin board of TNR's Common Stock for the
preceding trading day. Stockholders will not be permitted to breakup their
stockholdings into odd lots and stockholders or their legal representatives must
affirm to TNR that the odd lot shares submitted for payment represent the
stockholder's entire holdings and that such holdings do not exceed 99 shares.
(This offer shall be open to all odd lot beneficial holders even those held in
street or nominee name so long as the proper representations can be obtained
satisfactory to TNR that the shares are odd lot shares, were owned by the
beneficial stockholder as of December 15, 1995 and represent such stockholder's
entire holdings of TNR). This offer will not be valid in those states or
jurisdictions where such offer or sale would be unlawful.

         In November 1995, the Company reported the death of Burton R. Abrams
CPA, 22 Julliard Drive, Plainview, New York 11803, the Company's certifying
accountant. Mr. Abrams was a sole practitioner. The Burton R. Abrams' firm was
terminated as a result of the death of Mr. Abrams. Burton R. Abrams' report on

The Shareholders and Board of Directors
TNR Technical, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of TNR Technical, Inc. as of
July 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for the two years 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 audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide 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 TNR Technical, Inc. as of July
31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                             July 31, 1997 and 1996


(1)       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
          ------------------------------------------

          (a) Nature of Operations
              --------------------

              TNR Technical, Inc. (TNR or the Company) designs, assembles and
              markets batteries and multi-cell battery packs to a wide variety
              of industrial markets. The Company is a distributor for a number
              of major U.S. battery manufacturers and markets its products
              nationally.

          (b) Inventories
              -----------

              Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
              determined by the first-in, first-out method.

          (c) Property and Equipment
              ----------------------

              Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company provides
              depreciation for machinery and equipment using the straight-line
              method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets,
              which range from five to ten years. Amortization of leasehold
              improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the
              lesser of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the
              improvements.

          (d) Research and Development Costs
              ------------------------------

              Research and development costs are charged against income in the
              year incurred.

          (e) Revenue Recognition
              -------------------

              The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of its product from
              its warehouse facilities.

          (f) Advertising Costs
              -----------------

              Advertising expenditures relating to product distribution and
              marketing efforts consisting primarily of product presentation
              material, catalog preparation, printing and postage expenses are
              amortized over the period during which the benefits are expected.

          (g) Use of Estimates
              ----------------

              Management of the Company has made certain estimates and
              assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities
              and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare
              these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
              accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those
              estimates.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                             July 31, 1997 and 1996
(1),  Continued

      (h) Financial Instruments Fair Value, Concentration of Business and
          ---------------------------------------------------------------
          Credit Risks
          ------------

          The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash, short-term
          investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
          expenses approximates fair value because of the immediate or
          short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Financial
          instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
          of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable which
          amount to approximately $575,000 and money market funds amounting to
          approximately $483,000. The Company performs periodic credit
          evaluations of its trade customers and generally does not require
          collateral. The Company maintains its cash balances at certain
          financial institutions in which balances are insured by the Federal
          Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The Company's uninsured
          balances amount to approximately $400,000 and $200,000 at July 31,
          1997 and 1996, respectively.

      (i) Income Taxes
          ------------

          Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
          consequences attributable to differences between the financial
          statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
          their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
          measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
          in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
          recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
          liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
          period that includes the enactment date.

      (j) Cash Flows
          ----------

          For purposes of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
          investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
          equivalents.

      (k) Earnings Per Common Share
          -------------------------

          Earnings per common share have been computed based upon the weighted
          average number of common shares outstanding during the years
          presented. Common stock equivalents resulting from the issuance of the
          stock options have not been included in the per share calculations
          because such inclusion would not have a material effect on earnings
          per common share.

      (i) Reclassifications
          -----------------

          Certain amounts from 1996 and 1995 have been reclassified to conform

(5)  Stock Option Plan
     -----------------

     In November 1992, the Board of Directors approved an Incentive and
     Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, which was ratified by the stockholders in
     January 1993. The plan covers 60,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to
     adjustment of shares under the anti-dilution provisions of the Plan. The
     plan authorizes the issuance of the options covered thereby as either
     "Incentive Stock Options" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code
     of 1986, as amended, or as "Non-Statutory Stock Options." No options may be
     granted after November 16, 2002.

     Under the Plan, the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the
     option is granted) of the optioned stock for which Incentive Stock Options
     are exercisable for the first time by any employee during any calendar year
     shall not exceed $100,000.

     In December 1996, the Company granted options to purchase 30,000 shares of
     stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share to three of its officers and
     directors. The options are exercisable for a ten-year period expiring in
     December 2006.

In the year ended July 31, 1994, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" and recorded a gross
deferred tax asset of $250,000 which was offset by a valuation allowance in the
same amount as of July 31, 1994. During fiscal 1995, the Company reversed the
entire valuation allowance and, accordingly, credited $250,000 to income tax
expense.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will be realized. Management considers the projected future taxable
income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company
believes that future earnings in addition to the amount of taxable differences
which will reverse in future periods, will be sufficient to offset recorded
deferred tax assets and, accordingly, a valuation allowance is not considered
necessary at July 31, 1997 and 1996.

At July 31, 1997, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $640,000, which will expire as follows:

         The Company has no employment contracts with its executive officers.
Jerrold Lazarus and Wayne Thaw are currently receiving a monthly salary of
$6,438 and $9,209, respectively. Directors do not presently receive compensation
for serving on the Board or on its committees. Depending on the number of
meetings and the time required for the Company's operations, the Company may
decide to compensate its directors in the future.

         The Company provides each of its two above named executive officers
with a leased automobile. The Company has no annuity, pension, or retirement

directors any other personal benefits, the value of which exceeds 10% of his
cash compensation, which is not directly related to job performance or provided
generally to all salaried employees.

Stock Option Plan
- -----------------

         The 1992 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, (the "1992
Plan"), was approved by the Board of Directors on November 17, 1992 and ratified
by stockholders on January 29, 1993. The 1992 Plan covers 60,000 shares of
Common Stock, subject to adjustment of shares under the anti-dilution provisions
of the 1992 Plan. The 1992 Plan authorizes the issuance of the options covered
thereby as either "Incentive Stock Options" within the meaning of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or as "Non-Statutory Stock Options." Persons
eligible to receive options under the 1992 Plan includes employees, directors,
officers, consultants or advisors, provided that bona fide services shall be
rendered by consultants or advisors and such services must not be in connection
with the offer or sale of securities in a capital raising transaction; however,
only employees (who may also be officers and/or directors) are eligible to
receive an Incentive Stock Option. The 1992 Plan also provides that no options
may be granted after November 16, 2002. As of August 31, 1997, the Company has
granted ten year non-statutory options to purchase 30,000 shares at an exercise
price of $3.25 per share to Wayne Thaw (10,000 shares), Jerrold Lazarus (10,000
shares) and Kathie Thaw (10,000 shares).

         The 1992 Plan is administered by the Company's Board of Directors or a
stock option committee consisting of three members of the Board which has the
authority to determine the persons to whom options shall be granted, whether any
particular option shall be an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the
number of shares to be covered by each option, the time or times at which
options will be granted or may be exercised and the other terms and provisions
of the Options.

         Under the 1992 Plan, the aggregate fair market value (determined at the
time the option is granted) of the optioned stock for which Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by any employee during any calendar
year (under all such Plans of the

                                       13

<PAGE>

individual's Employer Corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporation)
shall not exceed $100,000.

         The 1992 Plan also provides that the Board of directors shall determine
the exercise price of the Common Stock under each option. The 1992 Plan also
provides that: (I) the exercise price of Incentive Stock Options granted
thereunder shall not be less than 100% (110% if the optionee owns 10% or more of
the outstanding voting securities of the Company) of the fair market value of
such shares on the date of grant, as determined by the Board or Committee, and
(ii) no option by its terms may be exercised more than ten years (five years in
the case of an Incentive Stock Option, where the optionee owns 10% or more of
the outstanding voting securities of the Company) after the date of grant. Any
options which are canceled or not exercised within the option period become
available for future grants. All Stock Options are non-transferable except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution.
