4.       POLY-FLEX ACQUISITION


         On March 1, 2000, the Company acquired the businesses of Poly-Flex
Circuits, Inc. and Poly-Flex Circuits, Limited (collectively "Poly-Flex").
Poly-Flex is engaged in the manufacture of polymer thick film, flexible
circuits and flexible interconnect assemblies. The acquisition was accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting. A preliminary allocation of
purchase price has been made to the assets acquired, principally inventory,
accounts receivable and property, plant and equipment, and the liabilities
assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
Approximately $120,000 representing a preliminary allocation of purchase
price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded
as goodwill and will be amortized over a 10 year period. The Company is in
the process of obtaining appraisals on certain of the assets acquired. The
excess of purchase price over estimated fair value may be adjusted based on
the results of such appraisals.


         The Company paid in cash at closing $19,650,000 and, as of March 26,
2000, has incurred approximately $430,000 of an estimated $600,000 of
transaction related costs for the acquisition. The purchase was financed
through borrowings from two new credit facilities, which consist of a $15.0
million revolving line of credit and a $15.0 million term loan.

         The results of operations of the Poly-Flex business from March 1,
2000 through March 26, 2000 are included in the consolidated financial
statements for the quarter and nine months ended March 26, 2000. Net sales
for this period totaled $1,821,000 representing 7% and 3% of the quarter and
nine months ended March 26, 2000 sales, respectively.

         This acquisition further diversified our product offerings by
providing us with polymer thick film and surface mount assembly capabilities.
Poly-Flex has manufacturing facilities in Cranston, Rhode Island and the
United Kingdom.

         PRO-FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  The
following unaudited pro forma summary presents the condensed consolidated
results of operations as if the Poly-Flex acquisition had occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented after giving effect to certain
adjustments, including changes in depreciation and interest expense on the
acquisition debt. These unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for
comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what would
have occurred had the acquisition been made as of July 1, 1998 or of results,
which may occur in the future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of March 26, 2000, the Company has cash on hand of approximately
$2,210,000.

         For the first nine months, the Company had net income of $4,600,000,
and non-cash items totalling $4,105,000, which, in the aggregate amounted to
$8,705,000. These monies, together with $1,606,000 from maturity of
investments and $209,000 from the exercise of stock options, accounted for
approximately $10,520,000 in receipts. In addition, the Company, for the
first nine months, borrowed approximately $25,101,000 to meet its obligations
and increase its cash position by approximately $1,000,000. These funds were
used to purchase Poly-Flex for $19,650,000 plus approximately $430,000 of
transaction related costs for the acquisition, additional working capital
requirements of $4,350,000, finance capital expenditures of $7,094,000, and
pay debt of $2,921,000.


         On March 1, 2000 we entered into two new credit facilities
consisting of a $15.0 million revolving line of credit and a $15.0 million
term loan, each subject to a right of setoff that our lender has against our
deposits or other property in its possession or control. We borrowed
approximately $20 million in connection with our Poly-Flex acquisition.
Borrowings under both the revolving line of credit and the term loan bear
interest at either our lender's prime rate (9.0% at March 26, 2000) or LIBOR
(6.18% at March 26, 2000) plus a margin that varies from 1.5% to 2.0%. As of
March 26, 2000, we had borrowed $15.0 million under the term loan and $7.4
million under our revolving line of credit facility. No further advances of
principal will be made under the revolving credit facility after December 31,
2001. We are required to pay our revolving line of



                                        -11-
<PAGE>

credit borrowing in forty-five equal monthly installments, the first being due
on January 1, 2002, and our term loan in twenty quarterly installments of
$750,000, the first being due on June 1, 2000. We must also pay quarterly in
arrears and commencing on June 1, 2000, a fee of one-quarter of one percent per
annum on the unused portion of our revolving line of credit. Our credit facility
requires compliance with a number of covenants, including restrictions on
payment of dividends, making of loans, investment in securities and changes in
control, and financial covenants.

         We have filed a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for a common stock offering of 1,250,000 shares by us and
150,000 shares by selling stockholders. Our underwriters have an option to
purchase up to an additional 210,000 shares from us to cover overallotments.
We intend to use the proceeds from this offering to pay off approximately
$22.4 million of debt, including approximately $20 million that we borrowed
in connection with our acquisition of Poly-Flex. We can, however, give no
assurance that we will complete this offering. If we do not complete this
offering, we expect our interest expenses to increase due to the increased
amount of our long-term debt.

         We believe that our cash on hand, our anticipated cash flow from
operations, and the amount available under our revolving credit facility should
be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for at least the next 12 months.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June, 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards, or SFAS, No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts and for hedging activities. We will adopt SFAS No. 133 during fiscal
2001. We have not completed an evaluation of the effects of adopting SFAS No.
133 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and financial
statement disclosures.

MARKET RISK

         The following discussion about our market risk disclosures involves
forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. We are exposed to market risk
related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do
not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

         We are exposed to market risks, which include changes in U.S. and
foreign interest rates and fluctuations in exchange rates.

We also have a revolving credit line and a term loan that bears interest, at our
choice, at our lender's prime rate or LIBOR plus a margin that varies from 1.5%
to 2.0%. Both the prime and LIBOR rates are affected by changes in market
interest rates. We owed approximately $22.4 million as of March 26, 2000. We
have the option to repay borrowings at anytime without penalty, other than
breakage fees in the case of prepayment of LIBOR rate borrowings, and therefore
believe that our market risk is not material.

         The remainder of our long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates and
is therefore not subject to market risk.
