PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
Zing Technologies, Inc. ("Zing" or the "Company") is a holding company with one
wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Omnirel LLC ("Omnirel"). The Company, through
Omnirel, engages in the manufacture and sale of "high reliability" multi-chip
power semiconductors, integrated power modules and packaged semiconductor
components in its military and industrial markets and has expanded its
distribution into the high-end commercial markets, as well. Prior to June 30,
1997, the Company owned 98% (84% on a fully diluted basis) of its Omnirel
Corporation subsidiary, and 90% of its Transition Analysis Component Technology,
Inc. subsidiary ("TACTech"). Commencing on June 30, 1997, the Company
distributed its 90% ownership interest in TACTech to the Company's shareholders.
The Company restructured its ownership in its Omnirel Corporation subsidiary by
merging Omnirel Corporation with and into Omnirel LLC ("Omnirel"), the Company's
newly-formed wholly owned subsidiary. In the Omnirel restructuring, the minority
interests in Omnirel Corporation were obtained by the Company in exchange for
shares of the Company's common stock, and certain options to purchase Omnirel
Corporation common stock became exercisable for the Company's common stock. Zing
was incorporated in New York on October 17, 1969.
Omnirel produces both standard and custom products in a clean room environment
and is certified to the federal government's MIL-PRF 19500 standard for discrete
semiconductors; and to the MIL-PRF 38534 standard for hybrid circuit modules,
and is registered to ISO 9001. Omnirel's products are used where circuit density
(including miniaturization), electrical performance and reliability are critical
design requirements, such as in the defense, aerospace, commercial
transportation, medical device industries and high end communication systems.
Omnirel's products are also used in the production of industrial controls and
power supplies where these same criteria are needed.
"High reliability" multi-chip power semiconductors and integrated power modules
are electronic components and are single-package devices with a power
dissipation of five watts or more. They combine active power semiconductor
components and passive components (such as capacitors and resistors) which form
integrated intelligent power electronic circuits which control, drive and
regulate the input and output of power (electricity) in motion control and power
supply applications for use in electronic systems and equipment. Omnirel
manufacturing techniques and design standards for the military and high
reliability industrial markets are more exacting than is the case for commercial
general purpose hybrid circuit components. The products manufactured by Omnirel
include custom designed products as well as standard commodity products.
The operations of the Company included TACTech through June 30, 1997. TACTech
licenses proprietary computer software databases to military semiconductor
manufacturers, the Department of Defense and defense contractors. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

COMPETITION
The market for high reliability power semiconductor multi-chip modules is
fragmented. There is no single firm which maintains a dominant position, either
in technology or in market share. Based on various industry publications, the
total consumption for power hybrids was approximately $590,000,000 in 1998. The
market for power hybrid products which Omnirel addresses is in excess of
$200,000,000 a year and approximately 65% of the sales to such market are made
by five manufacturers (including Omnirel) of power hybrid components. Omnirel is
the only such manufacturer whose primary focus is on high reliability power
semiconductor multi-chip modules. The principal competitors of Omnirel are other
hybrid manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers with internal capability
and power semiconductor manufacturers who offer multi-chip modules as a
complementary product line. Omnirel distinguishes itself in the marketplace
principally on the strength of its focus on power applications. It has complete
design, manufacturing and high reliability screening capabilities in-house, and
has developed a reputation for innovative solutions for customer needs. The
Company also competes on the basis of pricing and delivery.
MARKETING AND SALES
Omnirel markets its products through five regional sales managers in the United
States, one in Europe and fourteen sales representative organizations
world-wide. Omnirel sells both standard and custom products to approximately two
hundred customers world-wide. Standard products are sold both through
distributors and directly to customers. Custom products are sold directly to
customers.
Omnirel publishes and distributes to its existing customers and new customers a
catalogue of its standard products. Omnirel also publishes its standard products
on the Internet. Through the end of its 1999 fiscal year, Omnirel management has
focused its marketing effort in the United States through the coordination by
Omnirel's sales management of 14 independent sales representatives coordinated
by Omnirel's sales management. Key accounts were also covered by area managers
in each sales region. During the1999 fiscal year, Omnirel concentrated on direct
marketing efforts in the United States and Europe. Four independent sales
representatives remain engaged by Omnirel. Ten representatives/distributors are
currently in place outside of the United States marketing Omnirel's products.
Omnirel's customers are primarily major electronic equipment and systems
manufacturers such as General Electric, Lockheed Martin, Allied Signal, Boeing,
Texas Instruments, Raytheon and Motorola. Sales to General Electric for
transportation systems aggregated 23% of Omnirel's sales revenues for fiscal
year 1999. Arrow Electronics is Omnirel's primary distributor in the continental
United States of its single and multi-chip semiconductor devices. Sales to Zeus
Electronics (an Arrow company) aggregated 6% of Omnirel sales revenue for fiscal
year 1999.

</TABLE>
For the fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997, Omnirel did not enter into any
contracts with either customers of the United States Government or any agency of
the United States Government. Omnirel sells its products to subcontractors of
certain government agencies through customer purchase orders. Cancellation of
purchase orders from time to time is customary in the power semiconductor
industry. Under standard industry practices, in the event of cancellation,
Omnirel is entitled to reimbursement of costs incurred and a reasonable profit
for work performed prior to the cancellation.
The sale of Omnirel products is not seasonal.
SUPPLIERS AND MATERIALS USED
Unpackaged semiconductors, in chip form, and other components such as capacitors
and resistor chips or surface mount devices, combined with metal, plastic
packages and ceramic packaging materials are used by Omnirel in the manufacture
of its products. These materials and components, none of which are presently in
short supply, are purchased from time to time on the open market, and Omnirel
has no long term commitments for their purchase. Omnirel is not dependent on any
one supplier for a primary material. Omnirel has agreements with a number of
premier semiconductor manufacturers which allow Omnirel to buy products directly
from such manufacturers. These agreements allow Omnirel to be apprised of
technological advances and developments.
PRODUCT WARRANTY
Omnirel warrants that its products are free from defects in workmanship and meet
the agreed upon specifications supplied by the customer or Omnirel's current
published specifications. Omnirel's liability for defective products is limited
solely to replacement thereof upon receipt from the customer of notice of breach
of warranty within periods varying between three (3) and twenty-four (24) months
of the date of shipment, depending upon the product. Omnirel disclaims any
liability for a customer's cost of replacement of defective products, lost
profits, loss of use and consequential damages. Omnirel also disclaims any
warranty of merchantability and all other warranties, expressed or implied. The
enforceability of these limitations of warranty have not been tested in court
and there can be no assurance that such limitations will be judicially upheld.

<PAGE>
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
Omnirel has applied for and has received a patent pending notification from the
United States Department of Commerce on its CERMOD product, a hermetically
sealed, high power ICBT or Mosfet module. Although Omnirel does not possess any
other patents, Omnirel believes that its proprietary processes and product
technologies are such that they give it a unique position in the design and
manufacture of power semiconductor modules and multi-chip modules using
semiconductor technology. Omnirel has applied for federal trademark registration
of its name and logo as well as the product names CERMOD-TM-, MCPM-TM-, and
OMNITHERM-TM-.
INVENTORY
Omnirel follows industry standards for procurement, sale and return of its
inventory. Materials are procured based upon purchase orders which have standard
terms and conditions including the right of return for inferior quality or
non-compliance with purchase order terms. Omnirel inventory is maintained at its
principal place of business in storage facilities with temperature and humidity
controls. Omnirel stocks inventory for standard products, and for certain of its
custom products.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
Omnirel believes that its operations are in compliance with applicable
environmental law and regulations involving the discharge of potentially
hazardous material. Omnirel does not expect to incur significant expenditures
relating to environmental compliance.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Generally, Omnirel's research and development expenditures involve engineering
and design of custom products for specific applications, development of new
packaging techniques and development of packaging for new semiconductor devices.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998
Zing Technologies, Inc., a holding company with one wholly owned operating
subsidiary, Omnirel LLC, reported net income of $1,378,000 or $.57 per share
basic ($.56 diluted) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. For the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1998, the Company reported income of $1,523,000 or $.60 per
share (basic and diluted).
Sales of Omnirel for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 increased to
$25,362,000 as compared to sales of $21,773,000 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1998. The sales increase of $3,589,000 was primarily attributable to an
increase in shipments of discrete power semiconductor devices to a manufacturer
of undersea telecommunication cable systems amounting to $2,631,000.
Approximately $804,000 of the sales increase was attributable to shipments of
customer power hybrids and power modules to a medical equipment manufacturer.

<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998 (CONTINUED)
Included in Omnirel sales are revenues generated by the continued fulfillment of
a series of orders placed by General Electric for multi-chip power modules
containing hybrid components. Sales to General Electric in each of the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, were $5,873,000 and $5,929,000 respectively,
representing 23% and 27% respectively of Omnirel's total sales.
The Company's gross profit for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was
$9,169,000 and $8,029,000, respectively. The increase in Omnirel's gross profit
of $1,140,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 is attributed to the
increase in sales volume.
Omnirel's gross profit percentage decreased approximately one percent and this
was attributable to increases in both labor and manufacturing overhead costs.
Labor rates were increased to attract qualified employees due to the demand for
skilled labor. Manufacturing overhead dollar increases of approximately $895,000
over the prior fiscal year was attributable to personnel costs, equipment
depreciation and plant expansion related to new product development in the
current fiscal year.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the selling and general administrative
expenses were $6,059,000 as compared to $5,279,000 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1998. Of this $780,000 increase, approximately $512,000 is attributable
to the conversion to a direct sales force, hiring regional sales managers and
augmenting the sales staff with independent sales representatives. The remainder
of the increase related to general staff increases and the Company management
incentive plan.
Research and development costs are presented separately in the 1999 fiscal year,
and reclassified for the 1998 fiscal year for consistent presentation. The
amount for 1999 is $1,853,000 as compared to $1,843,000 in the 1998 fiscal year.
Interest expense increased approximately $22,000 to $1,063,000 during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $1,041,000 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1998. During each of the fiscal years 1999 and 1998 respectively,
approximately 67% and 68% of the interest expense was attributable to financing
incurred by the holding company, the proceeds of which were used to finance the
investment portfolio.
Interest and other income decreased to $2,033,000 during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999 from $2,409,000 in the prior comparable period. Interest and other
income is primarily comprised of revenues from dividends, interest and realized
gains and losses on the sales of securities, which increased approximately
$124,000 during the current reporting period. Effective April 3, 1993, Zing sold
the net assets of its high reliability electronic component distribution
business to Arrow Electronics, the sales price of which included a $3,000,000
premium over the net book value transferred in respect to a five year
non-compete agreement which terminated during the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998. The Company recognized revenues attributable to the non-compete agreement
during the fiscal year 1998 in the amount of $500,000.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, a decrease in nontaxable dividend
income offset by fully reserved federal tax credits increased the effective 1999
tax rate to 16% from 11% in the prior year.
10
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1997
Zing reported net income of $1,523,000 or $.60 per share (basic and diluted) for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. During the year ended June 30, 1997, the
Company also owned 90% of the equity of TACTech.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company realized income of
$1,608,000 or $.64 per share (basic and diluted), after deducting a charge
relating to the Omnirel restructuring of $1,227,000 or $.32 after tax benefit
per share (see Note B (i) to the consolidated financial statements). Exclusive
of TACTech operations, the Company realized income of $1,409,000 or $.56 per
share (basic and diluted).
Sales of Omnirel for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 increased to
$21,773,000. Sales for the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 were
$21,300,000, comprised of net sales from Omnirel of $19,094,000 and sales from
TACTech of $2,206,000.
Included in Omnirel sales are revenues generated by the continued fulfillment of
a series of orders placed by General Electric for multi-chip power modules
containing hybrid components. The increase in Omnirel's fiscal year 1998 sales
revenue of 14% from the prior fiscal year is attributed to increases in revenues
generated by the General Electric orders. Sales to General Electric in each of
the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were $5,929,000 and $4,476,000
respectively, representing 27% and 24% respectively of Omnirel's total sales.
The Company's gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 was
$8,029,000. The $9,184,000 gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997
was comprised of $2,206,000 gross profit from TACTech and $6,978,000 of gross
profit from Omnirel. The increase in Omnirel's gross profit of $1,051,000 for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 is attributed to the increase in sales
volume.
Omnirel's cost of goods sold expressed as a percentage of sales was 63% in both
fiscal years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. Material costs increased
approximately $900,000 from period to period primarily attributable to product
mix, although expressed as a percentage of sales, they remained at 33% for each
of the reporting periods. Similarly, manufacturing overhead, expressed as a
percentage of sales, was 22% for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998
and 1997, although increasing approximately $600,000 in absolute dollars. This
increase was primarily attributable to increases in the General Electric
revenue, thereby necessitating increases in testing expenses and in the
provision for warranty reserves in the approximate amounts of $71,000 and
$238,000 respectively. A significant portion of the balance of the increase in
the approximate amount of $220,000 is attributable to increase in staff and
related expense (including depreciation) for the manufacture of the Company's
new hermetic high voltage ICBT module to be sold to users requiring high
reliability power modules required to operate in extreme environments.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the selling and general administrative
expenses were $7,122,000 as compared to $6,267,000 (or $8,030,000 including
TACTech) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. Of this $855,000 increase,
approximately $478,000 is attributable to Omnirel's conversion to regional
direct sales forces in lieu of selling through independent sales
representatives. This included the hiring of sales management, recruiting costs
and additional staff at the corporate headquarters to service the additional
sales personnel. Other increases during the current fiscal year were in research
and
11
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1997 (CONTINUED)
development and management incentive bonuses of $70,000 and $398,000
respectively. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in professional
fees at Zing of approximately $225,000.
Interest expense increased approximately $48,000 to $1,041,000 during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $993,000 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1997. During each of the fiscal years 1998 and 1997, 68% of the interest
expense is attributable to financing incurred by the holding company, the
proceeds of which were used to finance the investment portfolio.
Interest and other income decreased approximately $1,188,000 to $2,409,000
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 from $3,597,000 in the prior
comparable period. Interest and other income is primarily comprised of revenues
from dividends, interest and realized gains and losses on the sales of
securities, each of which declined $634,000 and $454,000, respectively, during
the current reporting period. The Company recognized income attributable to the
1993 non-compete agreement with Arrow Electronics during the fiscal year 1998
and 1997 in the amounts of $500,000 and $600,000 respectively.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, an adjustment to the valuation
allowance reduced the effective tax rate to 11% as compared to 16% for the
comparable prior reporting period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the year ended June 30, 1999, cash provided from operations along with
proceeds from bank borrowings were used to repurchase 59,206 shares of the
Company's common stock in the open market and from former employees at a total
cost of $478,000 or approximately $8.07 per share and for the acquisition of
equipment and marketable securities. Management expects that the Company's
internally generated funds and available credit facilities will be sufficient to
finance the acquisition of fixed assets and equipment, and the continued
operations of the Company. The Company does not expect that it will be obligated
to make any payments under its guaranty of the TACTech credit facility described
in Note B to the consolidated financial statements.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
Computer systems and electronic devices which are based on software programs
which process dates with two digits rather than four to define the applicable
year may assume that all years occur only in the 20th century. This could cause
a system failure or miscalculation causing disruptions of operations controlled
by such systems or devices, including, among other things, an inability to
process transactions, send invoices, control equipment or engage in similar
normal business activities. In the Company's case, its exposure to this
potential phenomenon is concentrated principally in the operations of its
Omnirel subsidiary.
The following discussion is based on management's best estimates, which were
derived using numerous assumptions of future events, including the continuing
availability of basic utilities and other resources, the availability of trained
personnel at reasonable cost, and the ability of third parties to cure
12
<PAGE>
noncompliant software. There can be no guarantee that these assumptions will
prove accurate and, accordingly, the actual results may materially differ from
those anticipated.
EVALUATION EFFORTS
The Company's Omnirel subsidiary has completed its assessment of all systems
that could be significantly affected by the Year 2000 problem, including
information technology systems, software and hardware (embedded chips) used in
production and manufacturing systems, manufacturing equipment, and HVAC systems.
Based on a review of Omnirel's product line, the Company does not believe that
the products Omnirel has sold and will continue to sell will require remediation
to be Year 2000 compliant. Additionally, the Company is gathering information
about the Year 2000 compliance efforts of Omnirel's significant suppliers and
subcontractors and continues to monitor their compliance.
READINESS AND COMPLIANCE PLAN
Omnirel has separated its Year 2000 compliance efforts into four major segments:
Information Technology (Software and Hardware); Telecommunications Systems;
Manufacturing Equipment; and Compliance by Vendors and Customers. The following
is the status of each major segment:
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The Company upgraded its main business system software programs in March 1998
and as a result the main business software programs are capable of processing
transactions with dates beyond December 31, 1999. The Company has completed the
upgrade of its networking software. The Company has completed the evaluation of
secondary software programs used to minimize clerical tasks. The Company has
acquired software for these secondary programs upgrades or has selected
alternate programs and the installation of these upgrades are expected to be
completed by October 1999.
The Company has performed an evaluation of all information technology hardware
within the Company (excluding computer systems used with manufacturing
equipment) for Year 2000 compliance. The evaluation revealed that the majority
of the hardware systems can be made Year 2000 compliant with a minor operating
system software modification. A small number of the hardware systems will
require replacement of the microprocessor board. The Company does not expect to
replace any computer hardware systems in order to become Year 2000 compliant.
The upgrade of the Company's information technology equipment is expected to be
completed November 1999.
TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
The Company replaced its telephone system in September 1998. The new telephone
system is Year 2000 compliant.
MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT
The Company has completed the evaluation of manufacturing equipment and HVAC
systems. The Company has determined that certain pieces of manufacturing
equipment with integrated computer
13
<PAGE>
systems will not recognize the date "00" as the year 2000. The Company is
working with equipment manufacturers in order to upgrade the computer systems
incorporated in manufacturing equipment to become Year 2000 compliant. The
Company is aware of the fact that equipment may contain an embedded
microprocessor chip, however most of the Company's manufacturing equipment does
not require the processing of dates in order to operate. The Company believes
that the inability of certain pieces of equipment to interpret a date field "00"
as the year 2000 will not prevent the equipment from operating and consequently
does not anticipate an interruption in its ability to manufacture products as a
result of the Year 2000 issue. The Company has determined that its HVAC Systems
are Year 2000 Compliant and the Company has received certification statements
from the equipment manufacturers.
COMPLIANCE BY VENDORS AND CUSTOMERS
The Company has requested Year 2000 compliance certificates from vendors. The
majority of the Company's vendors have provided certification indicating that
the Year 2000 issue will not cause an interruption in their ability to provide
products and services.
The Company has not received compliance certificates from key customers although
it continues to issue requests for them. The Company does not expect any
material interruption in business from its key customers, even if their
operations are not Year 2000 compliant, although the Company may experience
delays in receipt of payments and/or reorders.
COST OF YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The total Year 2000 project cost is estimated at approximately $100,000.
The estimated costs are comprised of anticipated expenditures for internal
manpower costs for evaluation and upgrade of systems, consulting services for
evaluation of systems, cost for the purchase of new equipment and componentry
and costs for the purchase of new software programs. Omnirel has expended
approximately $40,000 on its Year 2000 compliance effort during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
The Company believes that its information technology systems will be capable of
processing transactions beyond December 31, 1999 and, consequently, the Company
does not have a contingency plan for information systems.
The Company's manufacturing equipment does not require processing of dates to
operate. In the event that the Company is not able to upgrade manufacturing and
other equipment to operate beyond December 31, 1999, the Company plans to power
down the equipment and restart the equipment with a fictitious historical date
in order to resume operations until the problem can be corrected.
SUMMARY
The costs of the project and the date on which the Company believes it will
complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous
14
<PAGE>
assumptions of future events, including the continued availability of certain
resources and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these
estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material differences
include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained
in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and
similar uncertainties.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Inflation did not have significant impact on the operations of the Company for
all periods presented.

for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Zing Technologies,
Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

ZING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
NOTE A. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Zing Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") operates primarily in one business
segment - sales of high reliability power semiconductor multi-chip modules for
use in military/aerospace and high-end industrial applications. The Company also
marketed a turnkey software package and database of pertinent component
information through its fiscal year ending June 30, 1997 (see Note B).
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Omnirel LLC ("Omnirel"). Income Statements for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 included its formerly 90% owned subsidiary
Transition Analysis of Component Technology, Inc. ("TACTech"). All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes sales at the time products are shipped and services are
provided. Consistent with industry practice, Omnirel warrants that its products
are free from defects in workmanship and meet the agreed upon specifications
supplied by the customer or Omnirel's current published specifications. As of
June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company has warranty reserves of $112,000 and
$170,000, respectively.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all short-term liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Debt securities that the Company has both the positive intent and ability to
hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Debt securities that the Company
does not have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and all
marketable equity securities are classified as "available-for-sale" and are
carried at fair
23
<PAGE>
ZING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE A. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as available
for sale are carried as a separate component of shareholders equity, net of
applicable income taxes. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities
classified as trading are reported in earnings. As of June 30, 1999 and 1998,
all marketable securities are held as available for sale.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment, including equipment leased under capital leases,
are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to twenty five years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or
the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
EXCESS OF COST OVER ASSETS ACQUIRED
The excess cost over assets acquired is being amortized over fifteen years. The
Company periodically reviews the carrying value of the excess of cost over
assets acquired for recoverability in relation to future earnings.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The
diluted income (loss) per share computation includes the dilutive effect, if
any, of shares which would be issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock
options, reduced by the number of shares assumed to be purchased by the Company
from the resulting proceeds at the average market price during the period.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
24
<PAGE>
ZING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE A. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
expenses reasonably approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these
items; marketable securities are based upon quoted market prices. The carrying
amounts of loans payable bank and long-term obligations also approximate fair
value in that the credit facilities bear interest at current rates.
IMPAIRMENTS
The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets when events and
circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying
amount of those assets. There have been no such impairment losses through
June 30, 1999.
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
As of July 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income ("Statement 130"). Statement 130 establishes new rules for
the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however,
the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's net income or
shareholders' equity. Statement 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the
Company's available-for-sale securities which prior to adoption were reported
separately in shareholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive
income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
requirements of Statement 130.
NOTE B. ORGANIZATION
(i) OMNIREL
During fiscal 1997, the Company purchased the balance of the outstanding
ownership interests of its Omnirel Corporation subsidiary (the predecessor to
Omnirel LLC) not owned by the Company (2% outstanding and 16% on a fully diluted
basis). In connection therewith, Omnirel Corporation was merged into Omnirel,
LLC (a newly formed Delaware limited liability corporation) and became a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company issued approximately 164,420 shares
of its Common Stock in exchange for the minority interests in Omnirel (including
132,603 shares in exchange for options to purchase Omnirel Common Stock) to
effect the purchase. As a result, the Company incurred a pre-tax charge against
earnings in the fourth quarter ending June 30, 1997 of approximately $1.2
million repre-

senting compensation paid to the employee option holders equal to the value of
the shares issued in exchange for options held by such employees. In connection
with the transaction, certain Omnirel optionees elected to retain their options
which (assuming full vesting) are exercisable for up to 60,041 shares of Company
common stock.
(ii) TACTECH
The Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend distribution (the
"Distribution") to the Company shareholders of record as of June 17, 1997 on the
basis of one share of TACTech Common Stock for each 5.0024 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. The distribution was effective June 30, 1997 and
following the distribution, TACTech commenced operations on a stand alone basis.
During fiscal 1997, TACTech filed a registration statement on Form SB-1 and

In March 1999, Omnirel replaced a $5,750,000 credit facility with a new
$6,000,000 facility (the "Loan Facility") comprised of (a) a $3,000,000
revolving line of credit maturing on November 30, 1999, (b) a $1,000,000
equipment line expiring November 30, 1999 (advances convert to five year term
loans) and (c) a $2,000,000 standby term loan expiring November 30, 1999. At the
Company's option, interest rates are selected at the time of each advance,
(7.75% on the revolving line of credit and 6.9% to 7.9% on the term loan at June
30, 1999). As of June 30, 1999 and 1998, the outstanding balance on the
revolving line of credit was $200,000, and $953,000 was outstanding with respect
to term loan provisions of the facility at June 30, 1999 ($351,000 - 1998).
The Loan Facility requires maintenance of certain financial ratios and contains
other restrictive covenants, including a restriction on the payment of
dividends. Substantially all assets, excluding real estate and related fixtures,
have been pledged as collateral.
Omnirel has various term loans outstanding under prior credit facilities, the
proceeds from which were used to finance equipment acquisitions. These loans are
payable through various dates through May 2003 at interest rates ranging from
7.6% to 8.1%. At June 30, 1999 and 1998 $1,240,000 and $1,361,000 was
outstanding on these term loans, respectively.
Omnirel obtained a mortgage on its real estate and related fixtures in December
1995. During fiscal year 1997, an additional $390,000 was added to its existing
mortgage. The outstanding balance on the mortgage at June 30, 1999 and 1998 was
$1,760,000 and $1,803,000, respectively. The mortgage matures on December 18,
2003 and principal payments are made monthly using a twenty year amortization
schedule. $1,334,000 of the balance bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.5% per
annum. The remaining balance of $426,000 bears interest at the fixed rate of
8.75% per annum.

In April 1997, the Company entered into a $7,500,000 line of credit (the "Line
of Credit") with an interest rate equal to either the prime rate less .75% or
the LIBOR plus .70% with an expiration date of March 2, 1998. Proceeds from the
loan were used to reduce borrowings under the Company's brokerage margin
account. Simultaneously with the borrowing of the Line of Credit, the Company
purchased an interest cap for $38,000, which capped the LIBOR at 5.875% through
the expiration date of the Line of Credit. Effective March 30, 1998, the Line of
Credit was extended through April 1, 2000, on similar terms and conditions as
the original Line of Credit, except for the interest rate. The interest rate
during the extended period is based on an interest rate comprising a floating
rate index USD one-month LIBOR-BBA plus .70%, to a fixed rate of 6.61%. The
applicable rate at June 30, 1999 was 5.92%. The fair value of the interest cap
at June 30, 1999 is $25,000. Marketable securities, principally preferred stocks
