                                  MAY 31, 1999

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
of Surge Components Inc. and subsidiaries contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of May 31, 1999

March 2, 1999, the Company entered into a Merger agreement and Plan of
Reorganization with Orbit. The Merger is subject to the satisfaction of
conditions precedent. In July 1999, both parties agreed to extend the Merger
agreement through July 30, 1999 to allow the resolution of certain matters.

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 ability to complete the merger with Orbit, lack of 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 and the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended November 30, 1998,
both of which have been filed with the Commission. These reports 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
six months ended May 31, 1999 increased by $355,153, or 9%, to $4,498,637 as
compared to net sales of $4,143,484 for the six months ended May 31, 1998. The
Company's net sales for the three months ended May 31, 1999 increased by
$524,117, or 30%, to $2,292,734 as compared to net sales of $1,768,617 for the
three months ended May 31, 1998. This increase results from an increase in sales
of the Company offset in part, by a decrease in sales of the Company's
subsidiary, Challenge/Surge Inc. ("Challenge"). The net sales for the Company
without Challenge's sales increased by $903,822, or 36% when compared to the six
months ended May 31, 1998. This growth was attributable primarily to increased
sales volumes as a result of the Company's investment in an increased sales
force. There can be no assurance, however, that the growth in sales volume
experienced in the past will continue. Challenge's net sales decreased by
$533,279, or 33% when compared to the six months ended May 31, 1998. This
decrease was primarily attributable to the economic effect of the over-abundance
of electronic components in the broker distributor market in which Challenge
operates in the beginning of 1999. This has resulted in the migration of some of
Challenge's customers to distributors who have established direct factory
relationships, in-house offices and inventory in the customer's facilities.
However, Challenge's sales for the three months ended May 31, 1999 remained
relatively the same as compared to the three months ended May 31, 1998, as a
result of the increased scarcity of electronic components in the broker

distributor market. There can be no assurance, however, that these improving
conditions may continue into latter part of 1999. The Company will continue to
attempt 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, 1999
increased by $180,891, or 18%, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 1998.
The Company's gross profit for the three months ended May 31, 1999 increased by
$175,143, or 41%, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 1998. Gross
margin as a percentage of net sales increased from 24.1% in the six months ended
May 31, 1998 to 26.2% in the six months ended May 31, 1999. The higher margins
were primarily a result of the Company making its operations more efficient by
reducing inventory acquisition costs. The Company is making an effort to improve
the efficiency of inventory management and has instituted a policy of increasing
direct shipments to its customer's factories overseas. This has resulted in a
substantial reduction of import related fees.

         General and administrative expenses for the six months ended May 31,
1999 increased by $137,574, or 17%, as compared to the six months ended May 31,
1998. For the three months ended May 31, 1999, general and administrative
expenses increased by $68,360, or 17%, as compared to the three months ended May
31, 1998. The increase is primarily due to costs associated with additional
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and costs related to the
proposed merger with Orbit Network Inc.

         Selling and shipping expenses for the six months ended May 31, 1999
increased by $61,754, or 14%, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 1998.
For the three months ended May 31, 1999, selling and shipping expenses increased
by $5,105, or 2%, as compared to the three months ended May 31, 1998. These
increases are primarily due to the Company's commitment towards increasing sales
and its related investment in additional salespeople during the second quarter
1999. 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 six months ended May 31, 1999 decreased by
$16,549, or 86%, as compared to the six months ended May 31, 1998. Interest
expense for the three months ended May 31, 1999 decreased by $10,540, or 86%, as
compared to the three months ended May 31, 1998. This decrease is primarily due
to the Company's decreased purchasing through letters of credit and bankers
acceptances. The Company intends to continue utilizing letters of credit and
bankers acceptances on an as needed basis based on its cash needs.

         Investment income decreased by $ 32,434 for the six months ended May
31, 1999 as compared to the six months ended May 31,1998. Investment income
decreased by $14,749 for the three months ended May 31, 1999, as compared to the
three months ended May 31, 1998. This decrease is primarily due to the Company's
use of previously invested funds in its operations.

                                       10

As a result of the foregoing, the Company had net loss of $163,317 for the six
months ended May 31, 1999 as compared to a net loss of $124,369 for the six
months ended May 31, 1998. The Company had net loss of $64,698 for the three
months ended May 31, 1999, as compared to a net loss of $152,506 for the three
months ended May 31, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Working capital decreased by $310,605 during the six months ended May
31, 1999 from $5,825,337 at November 30, 1998, to $5,514,732 at May 31, 1999.
This decrease resulted primarily from the decrease in cash, as partially offset
by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and taxes. The Company's
Current Ratio improved to 7.1:1 at May 31, 1999, as compared to 5.1:1 at
November 30, 1998, as a result of decreased accounts payable. Inventory turned
about the same amount in the six months ended May 31, 1999 as compared to the
six months ended May 31, 1998. The average number of days to collect receivables
decreased from 57 days to 48 days. Management believes that 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 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 May 31,1999. As of May 31, 1999 and November 30, 1998, there were
no outstanding direct borrowings, outstanding banker's acceptances or letters of
credit. Borrowings are collateralized by the assets of the Company. Currently,
the Company is in the process of renewing the letter of credit agreement.

         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 global OEM and distribution market, the
introduction of new products and the upgrade of existing product lines. In order
to effect this expansion, the Company 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 $237,000. Additionally, the renovation provides
additional space for test

                                       11

labs, which allows the Company to provide customers with prompt information
regarding the specifications of its products and provides space for additional
sales staff. 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 staffing 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 and marketing related charges.
The future profitability of the Company will therefore depend on increased sales
levels. In March 1999, the Company opened a marketing office in Taiwan. This
office will provide marketing and customer service for the Asian market. The
cost and related expenses of this office has been minimal since the Company is
utilizing the same office space used by its supplier management group.

         In March 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with Future
Electronics Inc. ("Future") for the marketing, promotion and distribution of
Surge's products. The agreement is for a one-year period and automatically
renews for one-year periods unless terminated in writing by either party. Future
is a world wide authorized distributor of passive components. Management
anticipates that this relationship with Future will introduce Surge's products
to many new potential customers.

         The Company has updated its equipment, procedures and personnel in the
hopes it will better enable itself to attract new customers as well as increase
the sales volume with its existing customers, and is seeking to expand sales to
its existing customer base by offering a broad range of complementary products.
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 commenced 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 recently 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

                                       12

financial position, liquidity or results of operations. Challenge was advised by
its computer consultants that some of its software needed to be updated to
resolve the Year 2000 Issue. The cost to resolve this problem was $5,600, which
was incurred in the year ended November 30, 1998.

         On December 29, 1998, the Company entered into a letter of intent to
purchase all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Orbit Network, Inc.
("Orbit") in exchange for approximately 30,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. On March 2, 1999, the Company entered into a Merger agreement and
Plan of Reorganization with Orbit. The Merger is subject to the satisfaction of
conditions precedent. In July 1999, the Company signed an agreement extending
the Merger agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Orbit to July 30, 1999.

         During the six months ended May 31, 1999, the Company had net cash used
by operating activities of $504,085, as compared to $478,928 provided by
operating activities in the six months ended May 31, 1998. The increase in cash
used by operating activities resulted from a reduction of accounts payable and
accrued expenses.

         The Company had net cash used in investing activities of $130,169 for
the six months ended May 31, 1999, as compared to $1,029,088 for the six months
ended May 31, 1998. In April 1998, Challenge, pursuant to its investment
program, invested a portion of its operating funds into marketable securities.
Additionally, the Company incurred costs related to the improvements of its
current facilities during 1998.

         The Company had net cash provided by financing activities of $16,236
for six months ended May 31, 1999, as compared to $140,137 used in the six
months ended May 31, 1998. This increase in the cash provided by financing
activities was the result of the proceeds from the exercise of employee stock
options and underwriter warrants and the result of the reduction of net
borrowings under the letter-of-credit agreement during the first quarter of
1999. As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net decrease in cash of
$618,018 during the six months ended May 31, 1999, as compared to a net decrease
of $690,297 for the six months ended May 31, 1998.

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