   The Company has a senior credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") with Bank of America, N.A., Credit Suisse First Boston
and certain other lenders providing (i) a $90 million term
facility consisting of a (a) $40 million tranche A term loan
("Term Loan A"), and (b) $50 million tranche B term loan ("Term
Loan B"), and (ii) a $35 million revolving credit facility (the
"Revolving Credit Facility").  Borrowings under the Credit
Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate per
annum equal to either the Eurodollar rate (the London interbank
offered rate for eurodollar deposits as adjusted for statutory
reserve requirements) or a base rate plus a varying applicable
percentage.  At August 31, 2000 the nominal interest rates for
Term Loan A and Term Loan B were 9.49% and 9.99%, respectively.
Term Loan A and Term Loan B are each payable in separate
quarterly installments commencing February 29, 2000.  The final
maturity of Term Loan A is November 30, 2005 and the final
maturity of Term Loan B is November 30, 2006.  Borrowings under
the Revolving Credit Facility are due on November 30, 2005.  In
addition, the Company issued $125 million in principal amount of
11-7/8% senior subordinated notes due July 1, 2009
(the "Notes") to qualified institutional buyers under a private
placement offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the
Securities Act of 1933, which notes were then exchanged for new
notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933 with
substantially identical economic terms, resulting in
approximately $120.4 million in proceeds to the Company.
Interest is payable on the Notes semi-annually on January 1 and
July 1 of each year commencing January 1, 2000.  The Notes are
unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company,
subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
senior indebtedness of the Company, including the Credit
Facility.  Each of the aforementioned debt facilities contain
restrictive covenants.  The Secured Credit Agreement requires the
Company to maintain certain financial ratios, as defined.

   As of May 31, 2000, the Company was not in compliance with a
requirement of the Secured Credit Agreement for maintaining a
minimum ratio of EBITDA to Interest Expense, as defined.  On June
30, 2000, the lenders agreed to waive compliance with this
requirement for the quarter ended May 31, 2000 and modified this
and other financial ratios for the remainder of the term.

  The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of
the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, as more
particularly described in the Credit Agreement dated June 29,
1999 and filed as an exhibit hereto.  The aggregate amounts of
existing long-term debt maturing in each of the next five years
are as follows: 2001 - $4,404,000; 2002 - $5,202,000; 2003 -
$6,789,000; 2004 - $6,789,000; 2005 - $8,394,000.

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

   On June 30, 1999, the Company issued 1,060,000 shares of
Series A convertible stock ("Preferred Stock") to Fremont
Investors and certain employees of the Company.  Holders of the
Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly
dividends, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors, in
an amount equal to or greater than:

              -dividends which would have been payable to
               holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
               in such quarter they converted their Series A
               Convertible Preferred Stock into Juno common
               stock prior to the record date of the dividends
               declared on the common stock in such quarter, or

              -the stated amount then in effect multiplied by 2%.


   Through June 30, 2004, the dividends for the preferred Stock
will be payable by an increase in the stated amount of such
stock.  After June 30, 2004, the dividends will be paid in cash
until redemption or conversion.  The Preferred Stock is
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a price
of $26.25 per share.  Holders of the Preferred Stock are
entitled to vote for each whole share of common stock that would
be issuable to such holder upon the conversion of all the shares
of Preferred Stock held by such holder on the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote.  Additionally,
holders of the Preferred Stock have a preference over common
stockholders in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

   Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net (loss)
income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is calculated by
dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding including assumed exercise of dilutive
stock options during the periods.  Such weighted average number
of shares outstanding is as follows:

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

   As of December 1, 1998, the company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" (SFAS 130).  The adoption of this statement had no impact
on the Company's net income or stockholders equity.  SFAS 130
establishes new rules for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components.  SFAS 130 requires
foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or
losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities to be
included in other comprehensive income.  Prior to the adoption of
SFAS 130, the Company reported such adjustments and unrealized
gains or losses separately in stockholders' equity.  Amounts in
prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform
to SFAS 130.

       The components of comprehensive income, net of related
tax, are as follows (in thousands):

MERGER AND RECAPITALIZATION

   On June 30, 1999, Jupiter Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Sub"), a
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fremont
Investors I, LLC ("Fremont Investors"), was merged (the "Merger")
with and into the company pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Recapitalization and Merger dated March 26, 1999 (the "Merger
Agreement") by and among Merger Sub, the Company and Fremont
Investors.  Pursuant to the Merger, the holders of all the issued
and outstanding shares of Juno common stock, $.01 par value per
share, were entitled to receive either $25 cash or one share of
Juno common stock, $.001 par value per share, for each share of
common stock issued and outstanding; provided that this
consideration was subject to proration, as such holders were
entitled to receive an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares of Juno
common stock.  The Company funded this effective retirement of
16,242,527 shares of the Company's common stock with a payment to
stockholders in the aggregate of approximately $406 million.  The
sources of this funding included the Company's available cash, a
$106 million preferred stock investment by Fremont and key
employees of Juno ("Preferred Stock"), approximately $94.9
million of bank debt ("Bank Debt") and the issuance of $125
million of subordinated debt ("Subordinated Debt").  In
connection with the Merger the Company incurred approximately
$9.9 million in transaction costs and $10.2 million of deferred
financing costs.  Included in these costs were payments of
approximately $4.9 million to Fremont Investors.

GUARANTORS' FINANCIAL INFORMATION

   The Company has registered and issued $125 million of Series B
Senior Subordinated Notes at 11-7/8% (the "Senior Subordinated
Notes") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), which notes were exchanged for Series A Senior
Subordinated notes with substantially identical economic terms
that were sold earlier in a private offering.  Pursuant to the
terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Company's wholly-
owned domestic subsidiaries, Juno Manufacturing, Inc., Indy
Lighting, Inc. and Advanced Fiberoptic Technologies, Inc., will
provide full and unconditional senior subordinated guarantees for
the Senior Subordinated Notes on a joint and several basis.

   Following is consolidating condensed financial information
pertaining to the Company ("Parent") and its subsidiary
guarantors and subsidiary non-guarantors.  The Company has not
presented separate financial statements and other disclosures
concerning its subsidiary guarantors because management has
determined that such information in not material to investors.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
----------------------

Three Months Ended August 31, 2000 Compared With Three Months
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ended August 31, 1999
------------------
      During the third quarter ended August 31, 2000, net sales
increased by 3.8% to $44,611,000 compared to $42,979,000 for the
like period in 1999. Sales increases, principally as a result of
new commercial construction activities and sales of the Company's
new Flex 12 product line were offset, in part, by a softening in
national account business.

   Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 50.9%
for the quarter, compared to 50.1% for the like period in 1999
due to a change in sales mix.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a
percentage of sales decreased to 29.6% for the third quarter of
2000 compared with 32.2% for the like period in 1999 due
primarily to one-time charges incurred in the third quarter of
1999 of $1,088,000 for bonuses paid to Juno officers pursuant to
Change of Control Benefit Agreements and $149,000 for the loss on
the early extinguishment of an Industrial Revenue Bond that was
paid off on June 30, 1999.


   As a result of the above factors, operating income increased
to 19.4% of sales as compared to 17.7% for the like period in
1999.

   Interest expense amounted to $5,661,000 for the third quarter
ended August 31, 2000 compared to $3,896,000 for the like period
in 1999. This increase reflects interest related to borrowings
used to finance the merger which closed on June 30, 1999.


Nine Months Ended August 31, 2000 Compared With Nine Months
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ended August 31, 1999
---------------------
   During the nine month period ended August 31, 2000, net sales
increased 3.6% to $130,298,000 compared to $125,761,000 for the
like period in 1999. In management's opinion, this increase is
due to increases in the overall demand for lighting products as
well as sales of the Company's new Flex 12 product line.

<PAGE 18>
   Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 50.8%
compared to 50.6% for the like period in 1999 due primarily to
changes in sales mix.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a
percentage of sales increased to 29.2% for the period compared
with 29.0% for the like period in 1999 due to the same factors
cited for the third quarter.

   As a result of the above factors, operating income decreased
to 19.9% of sales as compared to 20.4% for the like period in
1999.

   Interest expense amounted to $17,075,000 for the nine months
ended August 31, 2000 compared to $3,958,000 for the like period
in 1999. This increase reflects interest related to borrowings
used to finance the merger which closed on June 30, 1999.

INFLATION
---------
   While Juno believes that it generally has been successful in
controlling the prices it pays for materials and passing on
increased costs by increasing its prices, the Company may not
have future success in limiting material price increases or
reflecting any material price increases in the prices it charges
its customers or offsetting such price increases through improved
efficiencies.

 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
 --------------------------------
   During the nine month period ended August 31, 2000, the
Company generated positive net cash flow from operating
activities of $9,404,000.  This was comprised principally of net
income, depreciation and amortization, and a decrease in
inventory, (collectively aggregating $13,999,000), net of an
increase in accounts receivable of $1,221,000 and a decrease in
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3,796,000.

   Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $2,089,000
and was used to finance capital expenditures.

   The net cash used in financing activities of $13,543,000
consisted primarily of principal payments on long-term debt of
$17,952,000 less proceeds from the Revolving Line of Credit
Facility of $4,250,000.

   The Company historically has funded its operations principally
from cash generated from operations, available cash and income
from marketable securities. The Company incurred substantial
indebtedness in connection with the Merger. The Company's
liquidity needs are expected to arise primarily from operating
activities and servicing indebtedness incurred in connection with
the Merger.

<PAGE 19>
   Principal and interest payments under the Senior Credit
Facility and the Subordinated Debt represent significant
liquidity requirements for the Company.  As of August 31, 2000,
the Company had cash of approximately $2.4 million and total
indebtedness of $196.5 million. Detailed information concerning
the terms of the Senior Credit Facility and the Subordinated Debt
can be found in the Company's audited financial statements.

   The Company's $35 million Revolving Credit Facility is
available to finance its working capital and had an outstanding
balance of $1.0 million on August 31, 2000. The Company's
principal source of cash to fund its liquidity needs will be net
cash from operating activities and borrowings under the Senior
Credit Facility. The Company believes these sources will be
adequate to meet its anticipated future requirements for working
capital, capital expenditures, and scheduled payments of
principal and interest on its existing indebtedness for the next
12 months. However, the Company may not generate sufficient cash
flow from operations or have future working capital borrowings
available in an amount sufficient to enable it to service its
indebtedness, including the notes, or to make necessary capital
expenditures.

                  PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
                  ===========================

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings - Reference is made to Item 3 of the
          Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
          year ended November 30, 1999 for a description of
          Linda Parnes v. George M. Ball, Thomas Tomsovic, Allan
          Coleman, Robert S. Fremont, Julius Lewis, Fremont
          Investors I, LLC, Fremont Partners, L.P. and Juno
          Lighting, Inc.

          On September 8, 1997, Juno Lighting, Inc. was served
          with a complaint for patent infringement alleged by
          Mr. Ole K. Nilssen (Case No. 97 C 4624 in the United
          States District Court for the Northern District of
          Illinois).  In this complaint, Mr. Nilssen alleged
          that Juno had infringed seven of Mr. Nilssen's patents
          and sought a permanent injunction against Juno's sale
          of products utilizing the inventions claimed by such
          patents and unspecified monetary damages including
          a request for treble damages. These patents relate
          variously to low-voltage, high frequency power supplies
          for lighting systems and to so-called track lighting
          systems incorporating such low-voltage high frequency
          power supplies.  Juno filed an answer and counterclaim
          denying the allegations of the complaint and asserting
          a number of affirmative defenses and prayers for
          declaratory relief.  To allow the parties to focus on
          negotiating a potential resolution of this dispute, on
          November 10, 1999, Juno and Mr. Nilssen dismissed their
          cases without prejudice and further entered into an
          agreement to toll the statute of limitations up to and
          including May 15, 2000.

          To avoid further operation of the statute of
          limitations, on May 15, 2000, Mr. Nilssen filed a
          a complaint against Juno Lighting, Inc. in the United
          States District Court for the District of Delaware and
          served the Company with the complaint on September 12,
          2000.  The parties have agreed that the Company's
          response to the complaint need not be filed until
          November 10, 2000.  In this complaint, Mr. Nilssen
          alleges the same causes of action and seeks the same
          relief as in the dismissed action.  The Company and Mr.
          Nilssen continue to focus on negotiating a potential
          resolution of this dispute.
