SURGE COMPONENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
of Surge Components Inc. and Subsidiary contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of August 31,
1998 and November 30, 1997 and the consolidated results of operations for the
nine and three months ended August 31, 1998 and 1997 and consolidated cash flows
for the nine months ended August 31, 1998 and 1997.
Except as follows, the accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth
in Note 2 to the Company's financial statements included in its Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB, for the year ended November 30, 1997.
The consolidated results of operations for the nine and three months ended
August 31, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
Earnings per Share - Effective December 1, 1997, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number
128, "Earnings Per Share". Under this standard, the method for calculation of
earnings per share was changed and requires the presentation of "basic" and
"diluted" earnings per share. Prior period earnings per share have been restated
to conform with these provisions.
NOTE 2 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards Number 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This standard
requires disclosures regarding comprehensive income, the change in an entity's
equity during a period from transactions and events other than those resulting
from investments by and distributions to owners. Had the new standard been
adopted effective December 1, 1996, comprehensive income (loss) for the nine
months ended August 31, 1998 and 1997 would have been $ (200,141) and $ 61,645,
respectively.

NOTE 3 - ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES
In June 1998, the Company approved the issuance of 18,000 shares of the
Company's $.001 par value common stock to an officer of the Company. On August
10, 1998 the company issued the shares to the officer of the Company in
connection with a settlement of a lawsuit.
NOTE 4 - AGREEMENT FOR ADDITIONAL OFFICE SPACE
In July 1998, the Company renewed their lease for office and warehouse space
through December 31, 2008 with a corporation controlled by officers of the
Company. Among other provisions, the agreement allows the Company to occupy an
additional 2,500 square feet at its current premises and allows for annual
increases in the rental payments.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Except for historical information, the materials contained in
this Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation is
forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and
Section 21E of the Exchange Act) and involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. These include the Company's marginal profitability, need to
manage its growth, general economic downturns, intense price cutting in the
electronics industry, seasonality of quarterly results, and other risks detailed
from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Although forward-looking statements in this Report reflect the good
faith judgment of the Company's management, such statements can only be based on
facts and factors currently known by the Company. Consequently, forward-looking
statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results
and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in
the forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to carefully review and
consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this Report, the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended November 30, 1997, all
of which have been filed with the Commission, and attempt to advise interested
parties of the risks and factors that may affect the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations and prospects.
Results of Operations
Net sales for Surge Components, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") for
the nine months ended August 31, 1998 decreased by $1,203,932, or 16%, to
$6,233,828 as compared to net sales of $7,437,760 for the nine months ended
August 31, 1997. The Company's net sales for the three months ended August 31,
1998 decreased by $746,072, or 26%, to $2,090,345 as compared to net sales of
$2,836,417 for the three months ended August 31, 1997. This decrease was
primarily attributable to the economic effect of the over-abundance of
electronic components in the broker distributor market in which the Company's
subsidiary, Challenge Surge Inc. ("Challenge"), operates. This has resulted in
the migration of some of Challenge's customers to distributors who have
established direct factory relationships. This condition may continue into 1999.
The net sales for the Company without Challenge's sales decreased by 2% for the
nine months ended August 31, 1998. This decrease was attributable primarily to
the lower demand of electronic products in the telecommunications and computer
industries. The electronic components industry as a whole has slowed down
significantly. The Company is attempting to increase sales by introducing new
products, hiring more salespeople and sales representatives.
The Company's gross profit for the nine months ended August 31, 1998
decreased by $290,333, or 16%, as compared to the nine months ended August 31,
1997. The Company's gross profit for the three months ended August 31, 1998
decreased by $107,176, or 18%, as compared to the three months ended August 31,
1997. These decreases were due primarily to the above market conditions related
to the Company's products.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended August
31, 1998 increased by $69,097, or 5%, as compared to the nine months ended
August 31, 1997. For
9
<PAGE>
the three months ended August 31, 1998, general and administrative expenses
increased by $72,815, or 16%, as compared to the three months ended August 31,
1997. The increases are primarily due to compensation charged to an officer of
the corporation and the hiring of additional staff such as salespeople,
purchasing and warehouse personnel. The Company has also incurred additional
computer expenses due to its new website and upgrade of computer software. In
addition, the Company's investment in personnel is expected to significantly
increase costs prior to the generation of increased sales attributable from such
additional employees during Fiscal 1998 or later.
Selling and shipping expenses for the nine months ended August 31, 1998
decreased by $77,467, or 15%, as compared to the nine months ended August 31,
1997. For the three months ended August 31, 1998, selling and shipping expenses
decreased by $47,719, or 30%, as compared to the three months ended August 31,
1997. These decreases were primarily a result of the decrease in sales
commissions due to the decrease in sales volume. Also the cost of printing the
new catalogs has decreased in 1998. The Company is committed to increasing sales
through authorized distributors, global and domestic sales representatives, an
Internet website, literature and participation in trade shows.
Interest expense for the nine months ended August 31, 1998 decreased by
$3,495, or 9%, as compared to the nine months ended August 31, 1997. Interest
expense remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended August 31, 1998
and 1997. The Company intends to continue utilizing letters of credit and
banker's acceptances on an as needed basis based on its cash needs.
Investment income increased by $ 13,485 for the nine months ended
August 31, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended August 31,1997. Investment
income increased by $900 for the three months ended August 31, 1998, as compared
to the three months ended August 31, 1997. The Company continues to aggressively
pursue its investment program by investing all excess funds.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net loss of $225,361
for the nine months ended August 31, 1998 as compared to a net income of $32,060
for the nine months ended August 31, 1997. The Company had a net loss of
$100,992 for the three months ended August 31, 1998, as compared to a net income
of $30,721 for the three months ended August 31, 1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital decreased by $356,748 during the nine months ended
August 31, 1998 from $6,296,417 at November 30, 1997, to $5,939,669 at August
31, 1998. This decrease resulted primarily from the decrease in accounts
receivable, inventory, accrued expenses and the use of banker's acceptances
offset by the increase in accounts payable. The Company's current ratio and
inventory turnover remained relatively unchanged during the period. The average
number of days to collect receivables increased from 41 days to 61 days. Working
capital levels are adequate to meet the current operating requirements of the
Company.
10
<PAGE>
In April 1998, the Company renewed the letter of credit agreement with
its bank through May 31,1999 allowing the Company to obtain up to $800,000 in
outstanding letters of credit and $300,000 in direct borrowings with a maximum
borrowing limit of $1,000,000. The direct borrowings incur interest at the
bank's prime rate per annum. The agreement also provides for the creation of
banker's acceptances (drafts drawn on and accepted by a bank). Direct borrowings
are limited to advances based on 80% of eligible receivables and 25% of eligible
inventory capped at $100,000. The Company is charged one-half percent (1/2%)
upon opening of the letter of credit, one-half percent (1/2%) on negotiation and
two percent (2%) per annum over the banker's acceptance rate over the borrowed
term. The agreement requires the Company to be in compliance with certain
financial ratios including a debt to equity ratio and a minimum amount of
tangible net worth. The Company was in compliance with the required financial
ratios as of August 31,1998. As of August 31, 1998, there were no outstanding
direct borrowings, although outstanding banker's acceptances and letters of
credit totaled approximately $570,000. Borrowings are collateralized by the
assets of the Company.
The Company intends to expand its facilities over the next several
years in order to achieve and maintain the growth expected primarily through the
increased penetration of the OEM and distribution market, the introduction of
new products and the upgrade of existing product lines. In order to effect this
expansion, the Company has allocated a portion of the net proceeds from its July
1996 public offering toward the significant up-front expenditures associated
with the expansion of office and warehouse space at its current facilities in
addition to potentially establishing additional sales/stocking facilities in
other strategic locations. The Company renovated its current facilities during
1998. The total cost of the renovation of its current facilities was
approximately $220,000. Additionally, the renovation provides additional space
for test labs, which allow the Company to provide customers with prompt
information regarding the specifications of its products and additional sales
staff expected to manage the Company's sales growth. In May 1998, the Company
leased an additional 2,500 square feet at its corporate headquarters to
facilitate the above changes and improvements, increase warehouse space, improve
efficiency and provide for the future expansion of staff needs.
In addition to the costs associated with the expansion of the Company's
facilities, the Company expects to continue to incur significant operating
costs. These costs consist principally of payroll, marketing and facilities
related charges. With the completion of the renovation of its current facilities
and the potential opening of new facilities, facilities related charges are
expected to rise dramatically. Staffing requirements for any new facilities may
substantially increase payroll related costs. The future profitability of the
Company will therefore depend on increased future sales levels. In that regard
the Company does not plan on opening new facilities unless market conditions
warrant such opening. Consequently, the Company's main focus will be towards
expanding the sales staff.
Effective January 1, 1996, Challenge entered into an agreement to
supply audible transducers for computer motherboards to Intel Corporation. The
agreement is for one year with a one-year renewal option; however, it is
terminable at will by Intel Corporation. Intel Corporation renewed the agreement
through December 1998.
11
<PAGE>
The Company is in the process of updating its equipment, procedures and
personnel which it hopes will better enable itself to attract new customers as
well as increase the sales volume with its existing customers, expand sales to
its existing customer base by offering a broad range of complementary products
and newly introduced product lines. In 1997, the Company established a Website,
giving the engineering community exposure and access to any and all information
about the Company and its products, which they would consider to include in
their design.
The Company believes that many of its suppliers and customers have year
2000 Issues ("Year 2000 Issue") which could affect the Company. Many older
computer software programs recognize only the last two digits of the year in any
date (e.g., "98" for "1998"). These programs were designed and developed without
considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century. If the software is
not reprogrammed or replaced, many computer applications could fail or create
erroneous results by or at the year 2000. The Company will commence a program to
pursue compliance by those with whom it electronically interconnects. It is not
possible, however, at present, to quantify the overall cost of resolving this
issue for the Company's suppliers and customers. The Company has been advised
that their own software has been designed and developed with a resolution to the
Year 2000 Issue and as such the Company presently believes that the cost of
fixing the Year 2000 Issue will not have a material effect on the Company's
current financial position, liquidity or results of operations. Challenge has
been advised by its computer consultants that some of its software needs to be
updated to resolve the Year 2000 issue. The estimated cost to resolve this
problem is $5,600, of which $2,800 has been incurred through August 31, 1998.
The Company has minimized the risk of currency fluctuations by
purchasing and selling its products in United States currency. The Company,
however, may be severely impacted by the recent and current economic conditions
in Southeast Asia, based upon the amount of business the Company's customers
transact there. Potential concerns may include loss of suppliers and increased
competition within the region. The Company can not estimate at the current time
any potential impact of these conditions to its financial position, liquidity or
results of operations.
During the nine months ended August 31, 1998, the Company had net cash
provided by operating activities of $232,960, as compared to $808,905 used in
operating activities in the nine months ended August 31, 1997. The increase in
cash provided by operating activities resulted from a decrease in accounts
receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses and taxes and increased accounts
payable and accrued expenses and taxes.
During the nine months ended August 31, 1998, the Company had net cash
used by investing activities of $1,139,287, as compared with $112,732 for the
nine months ended August 31, 1997. In April 1998, Challenge, pursuant to its
investment program, invested a portion of their operating funds into marketable
securities. Additionally, the Company has incurred costs related to the
improvements of their current facilities.
12
<PAGE>
During the nine months ended August 31, 1998, the Company had net cash
used in financing activities of $58,900, as compared with $506,848 provided by
operating activities in the nine months ended August 31, 1997. The increase in
the cash used by financing activities was the result of net borrowings under the
letter-of-credit agreement and proceeds of the issuance of stock during the nine
months ended August 31, 1998. As a result of the forgoing, the Company had a net
decrease in cash of $965,227 during the nine months ended August 31, 1998, as
compared to a decrease in cash of $414,789 during the nine months ended August
31, 1997.
The Company expects that its cash flow from operations, the
proceeds from its public offering and the Company's credit facility with its
bank will be sufficient to meet its current financial requirements over at least
the next twelve months.
