Item 2.

         (a)      Name of Person Filing:
                  ----------------------

                  This  statement  is  being  filed by (i)  Neumeier  Investment
                  Counsel,  a  limited  liability   corporation  and  registered
                  investment  adviser  ("IA"),   and  (ii)  Peter  Neumeier,   a
                  controlling  member  of  IA  ("Member")   (collectively,   the
                  "Reporting Persons"). Member controls IA by virtue of member's
                  position as the holder of the majority interest (91%) of IA.
                  

                  IA's  beneficial  ownership of Peak  International  Ltd. ("the
                  Common  Stock")  is direct  as a result of IA's  discretionary
                  authority to buy,  sell,  and vote shares of such Common Stock
                  for its investment  advisory  clients.  Member's  ownership of
                  Common  Stock is  indirect  as a result of  Member's  majority
                  interest in IA, and is reported  solely because Rules 13d-1(a)
                  and (b) under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
                  (the  "Rules"),   require  any  person  who  is  "directly  or
                  indirectly" the beneficial  owner of more than five percent of
                  any equity  security of a  specified  class to file a Schedule
                  13G within the specified time period. The answers in blocks 5,
                  7, 9 and 11 on  page 3  above  and in  responses  to item 4 by
                  Member  are  given on the basis of the  "indirect"  beneficial
                  ownership  referred  to in such  Rules,  based  on the  direct
                  beneficial   ownership   of   Common   Stock  by  IA  and  the
                  relationship of the Member to IA referred to above.

         (b)      Address of Principal Business Office or, if none, Residence:
                  ------------------------------------------------------------
                           IA's Principal Business Office is located at:

                                    EXHIBIT B

                      Identification and Classification of
                    Subsidiary Which Acquired Security Being
                    Reported On By the Parent Holding Company



         IA, a registered investment adviser, acquired "beneficial ownership" of
the securities being reported on as a result of its  discretionary  authority to
acquire,  dispose  and (with  respect to certain  of such  securities)  vote the
securities being reported on. Under a series of SEC no-action letters, including
the letter  issued to Warren  Buffet and  Berkshire  Hathaway,  Inc.  (available
December 5, 1986),  Member is considered  the  equivalent of the parent  holding
company  of IA and is  therefore  eligible  to report  his  indirect  beneficial
ownership in such shares on Schedule 13G.
