                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 May 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 May 31, 1998
and November 30, 1997 and the consolidated results of operations for the six and
three months ended May 31, 1998 and 1997 and consolidated cash flows for the six
months ended May 31, 1998 and 1997.

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 six and three months ended 
May 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 November 1, 1997, comprehensive income (loss) for the six
months ended May 31, 1998 and 1997 would have been $ (103,611) and $ 5,917,
respectively.

                                  MAY 31, 1998

NOTE 3 - EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

The employment agreements between the Company and two of its officers have been
amended to extend the termination dates from July 30, 2001 to July 30, 2003.
Furthermore, the amended agreements will automatically renew and extend all
terms of the agreements.


NOTE  4 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS

In March 1998, the 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan was amended and approved by
the Company's shareholders on July 6, 1998, to increase the number of aggregate
common shares available under the plan from 350,000 to 850,000.

In March and May 1998, three employees exercised options to purchase 11,000
shares at an aggregate exercise price of $13,625.

NOTE  5 - AGREEMENT FOR ADDITIONAL OFFICE SPACE

In May 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to lease additional office
space from a corporation, which is 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 for monthly rental of $1,800. The agreement
remains in effect until the end of the term of the Company's current lease at
which time it is expected to be combined into one lease agreement.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

         The statements discussed in this Report include forward looking
statements that 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.

Results of Operations

         Net sales for Surge Components, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") for
the six months ended May 31, 1998 decreased by $457,859, or 10%, to $4,143,484
as compared to net sales of $4,601,343 for the six months ended May 31, 1997.
The Company's net sales for the three months ended May 31, 1997 decreased by
$703,114, or 28%, to $1,768,617 as compared to net sales of $2,471,731 for the
three months ended May 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 previously did not have on hand the
required levels of inventory of the various components. This condition may
continue into 1999. The net sales for the Company without Challenge's sales
decreased by 4% for the six months ended May 31, 1998. This decrease was
attributable primarily to the low demand of electronic products in the
telecommunications and computer industries. The electronic components industry
as a whole has slowed up 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 six months ended May 31, 1998
decreased by $183,156, or 16%, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 1997.
The Company's gross profit for the three months ended May 31, 1998 decreased by
$190,684, or 31%, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 1997. These
decreases were due primarily to the above market conditions related to the
Company's products. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased from
25.7% in the six months ended May 31, 1997 to 24.1% in the six months ended May
31, 1998. The lower margins were primarily a result of modest price erosion in
the highly competitive, fast-growing electronics industry in which the Company
competes.

         General and administrative expenses for the six months ended May 31,
1998 decreased by $3,720, or less than one percent, as compared to the six
months ended May 31, 1997. For the three months ended May 31, 1998, general and
administrative expenses increased by $9,849, or 2%, as compared to the three
months ended May 31, 1997. The decrease for the six months ended May 31, 1998 is
primarily due to the expiration of the Company's contract with its investment
banker for consulting fees in July 1997 netted against the hiring of additional
staff such as salesmen, 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.

                                       9

         Selling and shipping expenses for the six months ended May 31, 1998
decreased by $29,747, or 8%, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 1997.
For the three months ended May 31, 1998, selling and shipping expenses decreased
by $33,590, or 16%, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 1997. These
decreases were primarily a result of the delay in printing of new catalogs due
to the current market conditions. The Company is committed to increasing sales
through authorized distributors, sales representatives, an Internet website,
literature, and participation in trade shows.

         Interest expense for the six months ended May 31, 1998 decreased by
$3,362, or 15%, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 1997. Interest
expense remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended May 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 $ 12,585 for the six months ended May
31, 1998 as compared to the six months ended May 31,1997. Investment income
increased by $13,012 for the three months ended May 31, 1998, as compared to the
three months ended May 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 net loss of $124,369 for
the six months ended May 31, 1998 as compared to a net income of $1,339 for the
six months ended May 31, 1997. The Company had net loss of $152,506 for the
three months ended May 31, 1998, as compared to a net loss of $6,894 for the
three months ended May 31, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Working capital decreased by $229,620 during the six months ended May
31, 1998 from $6,296,417 at November 30, 1997, to $6,066,797 at May 31, 1998.
This decrease resulted primarily from the decrease in accounts receivable,
inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses and the use of banker's
acceptances. The Company's Current Ratio improved to 5.4:1 at May 31, 1998, as
compared to 4.6:1 at November 30, 1997. Inventory turned more in the six months
ended May 31, 1998. The average number of days to collect receivables increased
from 41 days to 54 days. Working capital levels are adequate to meet the current
operating requirements of the Company.

         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 prime
rate per annum. The agreement also provides for the creation of banker's
acceptance (a draft 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 May 31,1998. As of May 31, 1998 and 1997, there were no outstanding
direct borrowings, although outstanding banker's 

                                       10

<PAGE>

acceptances and letters of credit totaled approximately $460,000 and $510,000, 
respectively. 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 currently is renovating its current
facilities which are expected to be completed in third quarter 1998. The total
cost of the renovation of its current facilities is estimated to be $200,000.
Additionally, the renovation plans contain provisions for additional space for
test labs, which will 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.

         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, as well as professional fees associated with being a public
reporting company. Upon the updating 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.

         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.

         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. The Company has initiated a public relations
program to promote these products throughout the market. In 1997, the Company
established a Website, giving the engineering community exposure and access to
any and all of the Company's 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 

                                       11

<PAGE>

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 May 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 it transacts there.
Potential concerns may include drastic devaluations of currencies, 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 six months ended May 31, 1998, the Company had net cash
provided in operating activities of $478,928, as compared to $585,022 used in
operating activities in the six months ended May 31, 1997. The increase in cash
provided in operating activities resulted from an decrease in accounts
receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses and taxes and decreased accounts
payable and accrued expenses and taxes.

         During the six months ended May 31, 1998, the Company had net cash used
by investing activities of $1,029,088, as compared with $73,544 for the six
months ended May 31, 1998. 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.

         During the six months ended May 31, 1998, the Company had net cash used
by financing activities of $140,137, as compared with $190,780 provided in
operating activities in the six months ended May 31, 1997. The increase in the
cash used by financing activities was the result of net borrowings under the
letter-of-credit agreement during the six months ended May 31, 1998. As a result
of the forgoing, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $690,297 during the
six months ended May 31, 1998, as compared to a decrease in cash of $467,786
during the six months ended May 31, 1997.

         The Company expects that its cash flow from operations, the proceeds
from its public offering and the Company's line of credit agreement will be
sufficient to meet its current financial requirements over at least the next
twelve months.
