                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its majority owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions.

The balance sheet at February 29, 2000 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments "consisting of only normal accruals"
necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of
August 31, 2000 and the Consolidated Statement of earnings for the six months
ended August 31, 2000 and 1999.

NOTE B - INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market.

NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS

In May 2000, the Company purchased the common stock of Lexel Imaging Systems,
Inc. ("Lexel") and in June 2000 the Company purchased certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities of the electro optical division of Imaging and Sensing
Technology ("IST"). The Company paid $3,000,000 and $1,598,000 for Lexel and
IST, respectively. The purchase price for Lexel was financed by short-term,
unsecured debt, guaranteed by an officer of the Corporation with a stated
interest rate of LIBOR plus 2%. The IST purchase price was financed by a demand
note payable with an officer of the Corporation with a stated interest rate of
prime plus 1%. Both of these notes were entered into with the intent to be
consolidated into one facility at the time of the Primary line of credit
refinancing.

All of the above transactions have been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting and the results of operations of the acquired businesses since
their acquisition dates have been included in the consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE E - LINES OF CREDIT AND SHORT-TERM DEBT

During early 1998, the Company refinanced its loan agreement ("Agreement") to
provide for a $4,500,000 (increased to $5,500,000 in May 1999) line of credit
with its primary bank and $3,500,000 with a second bank secured by substantially
all assets of the Company. In conjunction with this refinancing, the Company
borrowed $2,800,000 from the CEO to pay down the original line of credit. The
Company amended its Primary Line to extend the termination date to December 1,
2000 and to lower the interest rate to a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum. The
commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the Primary line was also
eliminated. All other terms of the Primary Line remained the same as the
original line of credit. The Secondary Line was extended to November 30, 2000
with the interest rate and all other terms remaining the same, including a
commitment fee of 0.5% charged on the unused portion. Borrowings under the Lines
are limited by eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined. As of
August 31, 2000, the outstanding balances on the Primary Line and Secondary Line
were $5,266,000 and $3,120,000, respectively. The additional availability under
the Primary and Secondary Lines were $234,000 and $108,000, respectively, as of
August 31, 2000. The Line agreements contain affirmative and negative covenants
including requirements related to tangible net worth, indebtedness to tangible
net worth and cash flow coverage. Additionally, dividend payments, capital
expenditures and acquisitions have certain restrictions.

In May 2000, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 note payable with its primary
bank to finance the acquisition of Lexel as discussed in Note C above. The 120
day note has a stated interest rate of LIBOR (6.698% as of August 31, 2000) plus
2%. The note is guaranteed by the CEO of the Company. The note was extended to
December 1, 2000.

In June 2000, the Company borrowed an additional $1,400,000 from the CEO to
assist with the acquisition of the electro optics division of IST. As of August
31, 2000, the Company owes the CEO $3,600,000. Also during the second quarter of
fiscal 2001, the Company repaid $17,000 on a note payable to a Director, leaving
a balance of $183,000 at August 31, 2000.

Subsequently, in September 2000, the Company signed a letter of intent with its
primary bank to consolidate its existing Primary Line and the $3,000,000 Lexel
acquisition loan into one $10,000,000 credit facility. The interest rate will be
based on a floating LIBOR rate based on a debt to EBITDA ratio. The effective
rate at the date of commitment was 9.375%. The note will mature July 1, 2003.
The principal balance will be reduced by $500,000 on July 1, 2001 and $500,000
on July 1, 2002.

Advance rates will remain the same as under the previous line and included is a
commitment fee for the unused portion of 0.25%. The Company does not anticipate
any problems in closing this transaction, nor does the Company anticipate
problems renewing its Secondary Line.

Net Sales
---------

Consolidated net sales increased $2,355,000 and $1,449,000 for the three and six
months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to the same periods ended August 31,
1999. CRT division sales were up $3,155,000 or 27.9% and $2,948,000 or 12.2% for
the three and six month comparative periods. The wholesale consumer electronic
parts division sales were down $801,000 or 18.2% and $1,499,000 or 16.6% for the
same comparative periods.

The net increase in CRT division sales is primarily attributable to growth
within the display and monitor segments. The Company's newest locations within
the display segment in Connecticut and Florida, acquired in the third and fourth
quarters, respectively, of fiscal 2000, contributed revenues of $1,149,000 and
$1,644,000 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2000. Within the
monitor segment, the

                                      13
<PAGE>

Company's subsidiary location, Lexel, acquired in May 2000, provided $3,044,000
for the three months and $4,348,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2000.
There were no comparative revenues for these locations in the same periods a
year ago.

Offsetting declines in sales within the CRT division of $599,000 and $1,012,000
for the comparative three and six month periods ended August 31, 2000 are
attributed primarily to the entertainment segment. This reflects the decline in
sales to major television retailers. Television retail sales, particularly
extended warranty sales to end user consumers, as well as the size of sets sold,
negatively impacted the entertainment division sales.

The decline in sales in the wholesale consumer parts segment of $801,000 and
$1,499,000 for the three and six month comparative periods ended August 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively, is attributed primarily to the sale of Vanco
International, Inc. ("Vanco"), a former subsidiary, in September 1999. The three
and six months ended August 31, 1999 included sales of $884,000 and $1,836,000,
respectively, for Vanco.

Gross margins
-------------

Consolidated gross margins remain unchanged from 31.4% for the six months ended
August 31, 2000 as compared to August 31, 1999. CRT division margins were higher
in the comparative six month period by 2.1%, while wholesale consumer parts
declined 5.8% for the comparative period.

The CRT division margins are up slightly due to volume increases within the
monitor and display segments. The Company continued to consolidate facilities in
the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Earlier realignments within the monitor
segment have begun to positively impact revenues and margins in fiscal 2001.

The wholesale consumer parts division margins are down in part due to the
exclusion of Vanco in fiscal 2001, and also due to declines in margins realized
on the fire and safety and other existing consumer parts product lines. During
the second quarter, these product line margin declines resulted from reduced
selling prices to move some older, slower moving merchandise as well as effects
of the mix of products sold that were purchased at higher costs than some bulk
purchases realized in the past.

Operating expenses
------------------

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 24.8% from 27.7% for
the three month comparative periods and to 25.6% from 26.8% for the six month
comparative periods.

The CRT division operating expenses increased $1,087,000 during the comparative
six month period. Included in these increases are $706,000 of expenses relating
to the new locations within the monitor and display segments not in fiscal 2000
comparative figures. Increases in sales volume as well as the positive impact of
internal restructuring and reorganization have contributed in the decline of
operating expenses as a percentage of sales.

                                      14
<PAGE>

The wholesale consumer parts division reduced operating expenses $1,086,000 for
the six months ended August 31, 2000 compared to the same period one year ago.
Included in the decline within this division is the elimination of operating
costs of Vanco, which were $670,000 for the six months ended August 31, 1999.
Additionally, the remaining subsidiary within the division has eliminated two
locations and reduced personnel at its home office in response to the recent
decline in sales within that division.

Interest expense
----------------

Interest expense increased $210,000 and $186,000 for the three and six month
comparative periods. The majority of the increase is attributed to the increase
in debt incurred in conjunction with the recent business acquisitions.

Income taxes
------------

The effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2000 was 36.5% as
compared to 34.9% for the same period one year ago. An income tax benefit in the
prior year comparative period from foreign operation losses is the primary
reason for the increase in fiscal 2001.

Liquidity and capital resources
-------------------------------

Working capital has decreased $1,691,000 from $21,862,000 to $20,171,000. The
decrease is a result of the impact of short-term debt utilized in recent
acquisitions.

The Company entered into short-term debt arrangements in order to complete the
recent acquisitions of Lexel and IST with the intent to consolidate these notes
during the renewal of the Company's existing Primary Line during the second
quarter of fiscal 2001. The short-term notes and Primary Line were extended to
December 1, 2000 in order to complete the renewal with the Company's primary
bank. In September 2000, the Company reached an agreement to increase its
current line to $10,000,000 at a floating interest rate based on LIBOR. The
effective rate will be 9.375% based on LIBOR at the date of commitment. The note
will mature on July 1, 2003, and has a decreasing principal of $500,000 on July
1, 2001 and $500,000 on July 1, 2002. The note includes advance rates based on
available eligible receivables and inventory as well as the collateral of
certain real estate and equipment. Included in the agreement is an unused
commitment fee of 0.25% payable quarterly.

The Secondary Line was extended to November 30, 2000. The Company will be
required to refinance its revolving line with its secondary bank in the third
quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company is not anticipating any problems with this
renegotiation.

The Company does not anticipate any significant capital investments for the
balance of fiscal 2001.
