ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
 
     Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated November 17, 1995, as amended
on February 9, 1996 (the "Acquisition Agreement"), Exide Electronics Group, Inc.
("Exide Electronics" or the "Company") intends to acquire (the "Deltec
Acquisition") Deltec Power Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively
"Deltec") from Fiskars Oy Ab and Fiskars Holdings, Inc. (collectively
"Fiskars"). Deltec designs, manufactures, markets, sells and services a broad
line of uninterruptible power supply ("UPS") products and power management
software worldwide through its principal operating subsidiaries, Deltec
Electronics Corporation ("Deltec EC"), which is headquartered in San Diego,
California, and FPS Power Systems Oy Ab ("FPS"), which is based in Espoo,
Finland. Deltec and its subsidiaries will become operating subsidiaries of the
Company following completion of the Deltec Acquisition.
 
     Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the purchase price of the
Deltec Acquisition is stated to be approximately $195.0 million, which will be
comprised of approximately $158.5 million in cash, 825,000 shares of the
Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") and 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's Series G preferred stock (the "Series G Preferred Stock"). The stated
contract price is based on the value of the Common Stock and Series G Preferred
Stock to be issued to Fiskars being fixed at $20.00 per share. For purposes of
reflecting the Deltec Acquisition on the Company's financial statements,
however, the Common Stock and Series G Preferred Stock that will be issued to
Fiskars will be valued at $14.00 per share and $18.00 per share, respectively,
resulting in a purchase price of approximately $188.1 million. The Series G
Preferred Stock will be convertible into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis
(subject to adjustment under certain circumstances), will have a per annum
dividend rate of $0.80 per share through March 31, 2001 and $1.20 per share
thereafter, and will be subject to redemption under certain circumstances. The
purchase price was based on the assumption that the net book value of Deltec on
the closing would be approximately $28.7 million. The purchase price will be
adjusted upward or downward to the extent the closing date net book value (as
adjusted for certain excluded assets and liabilities) differs from this amount.
In addition, under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company will pay
an estimated $4.1 million to Fiskars in payment of certain interest carrying
costs associated with Fiskars' agreement to extend the time for closing the
Deltec Acquisition to March 15, 1996. In the event the Company does not close
the Deltec Acquisition as scheduled, the Company has agreed to pay to Fiskars a
fee of $5.0 million.
 
     The Company expects to finance the cash portion of the purchase price of
the Deltec Acquisition with (i) borrowings under a new credit facility (the "New
Credit Facility"), for which the Company has obtained a commitment, and (ii) the
sale of 100,000 units (the "Units") comprised of $100.0 million of senior
subordinated notes (the "Notes") and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase an
unspecified number of shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Offering").
Under the terms of a commitment letter from Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, on its own behalf and as Administrative Agent for a group of financial
institutions, the New Credit Facility will provide for term and revolving credit
facilities in the aggregate amount of up to $225.0 million, which will be
automatically reduced to $200.0 million if the Company raises $100.0 million in
the Offering. Consummation of the Offering and the Deltec Acquisition and the
effectiveness of the New Credit Facility are each contingent upon the
consummation or effectiveness, as applicable, of each other.
 
     The Company intends to conduct the Offering as a private offering in
reliance upon Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. In connection with the Offering, the Company will distribute an
offering memorandum (the "Offering Memorandum") that contains certain projected
financial information (the "Projections") reflecting the Company's best
estimates of the Company's results of operations for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1996. The Company does not regularly publish projections of its
operating results. To insure that the public market is provided with the same
disclosure as the Offering Memorandum contains, however, the Company is filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission this interim report on Form 8-K,
which includes a copy of the Projections, as well as certain financial
information relating to Deltec described below. This Form 8-K also includes (i)
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements, (ii) Annual Consolidated
Financial Statements and unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of
Exide Electronics and (iii) Annual Combined and Consolidated Financial
Statements and unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Deltec
(collectively, the "Offering
<PAGE>   3
 
Memorandum Financial Statements"), all of which will be included in the Offering
Memorandum. The Projections and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial
Statements give effect to (i) the Deltec Acquisition, (ii) the October 1995
conversion of Exide Electronics' 8.375% convertible subordinated notes (the
"Convertible Subordinated Notes") into shares of Common Stock, (iii) the New
Credit Facility, and (iv) issuance of the Notes in the Offering (collectively
the "Transactions").
 
     THE PROJECTIONS CONTAIN FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION, AND INVESTORS AND
SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF AND REVIEW CAREFULLY THE ASSUMPTIONS
ACCOMPANYING THE PROJECTIONS, AS WELL AS THE CAUTIONARY DISCLOSURES CONCERNING
THE FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL OPERATING RESULTS TO DIFFER
ADVERSELY AND MATERIALLY FROM THE PROJECTIONS. ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER POTENTIAL
INVESTORS NOR SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THE PROJECTIONS. THE
COMPANY DOES NOT INTEND TO UPDATE OR OTHERWISE REVISE THE PROJECTIONS TO REFLECT
EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES, OR THE OCCURRENCE OF UNANTICIPATED EVENTS, AFTER THE
PROJECTIONS ARE ISSUED. THE PROJECTIONS SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER WITH THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K AND ANNUAL
REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND THE
ANNUAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTAINED THEREIN, THE COMPANY'S NOTICE
OF ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT DATED JANUARY 26, 1996, THE COMPANY'S
QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

                        PROJECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
INTRODUCTION
 
     The projected financial information included herein (the "Projections")
represents the Company's best estimates as of February 14, 1996 of the Company's
results of operations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996. The
Projections, which are forward looking statements, were prepared by the
Company's management and are qualified by, and subject to, the assumptions set
forth below and the other information contained in the Offering Memorandum
Financial Statements. The Projections were not prepared with a view toward
compliance with published guidelines of the Commission, the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants, any regulatory or professional agency or body,
or generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, neither Arthur
Andersen LLP, the independent public accountants for the Company, Price
Waterhouse LLP and KPMG, the independent accountants for Deltec, nor the Initial
Purchasers (as defined in the Offering Memorandum), have compiled or examined
the Projections and, accordingly, do not express any opinion or any other form
of assurance with respect thereto, assume no responsibility for and disclaim any
association with the Projections.
 
     No independent expert has reviewed the Projections. The Projections should
be read together with the information contained in the Offering Memorandum
Financial Statements and the Company Periodic Disclosure Documents.
 
     The Deltec -- Stand Alone projected Statement of Operations for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1996 is based on projected financial information
provided to the Company by Fiskars and Deltec. Based on the results of the
Company's due diligence procedures, the Company has reduced the Deltec -- Stand
Alone projected revenues and income from operations for 1996 from the amounts
projected by Fiskars and Deltec. Because the Deltec Acquisition has not been
consummated and because the Company's management did not participate in the
development of the projected financial information provided to the Company by
Fiskars and Deltec, the ability of the Company's management to project such
information is necessarily more limited than its ability to project financial
information for Exide Electronics -- Stand Alone. Accordingly, the projected
financial information for Deltec -- Stand Alone is necessarily more speculative
in nature.
 
     The Projections are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that,
while presented with numerical specificity and considered reasonable by the
Company when taken as a whole, are inherently subject to significant business,
economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are
beyond the control of the Company, and are based upon specific assumptions with
respect to future business decisions, some of which will change. Projections are
necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of
the assumptions of the Projections will not materialize or will vary
significantly from actual results. Accordingly, the Projections are only an
estimate and actual results will vary from the Projections and the variations
may be material and are likely to increase over time. The Company does not
intend to update or otherwise revise the projections to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events. In light of the foregoing, prospective purchasers of the
Units are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Projections.
 
     The Company's ability to achieve the projected financial results is
dependent upon a number of factors. For instance, the Projections assume the
success of the Company's operating strategy. The success of the Company's
operating strategy assumes, among other things, that the Company: (i)
successfully integrates the operations of Deltec with the existing operations of
the Company; (ii) continues to expand its revenues and profitability; (iii)
continues to increase its presence in the small systems segment; (iv) continues
to expand its international sales; (v) continues to expand its business in
emerging technologies; (vi) redefines its large systems focus; and (vii)
continues to expand its service business. The success of the strategy is subject
to uncertainties and contingencies beyond the Company's control, and no
assurance can be given that the strategy will be effective or that the
anticipated benefits from the strategy will be realized in the period for which
the Projections have been prepared.
 
     The Projections also assume that: (i) there will be no material change in
the existing political, fiscal or economic conditions, including changes in
foreign exchange rates, that are material to the Company's or Deltec's revenues
or costs; (ii) there will be no material change in legislation or regulations or
the
 
                                       P-2
<PAGE>   6
 
administration thereof, or changes in technology or industry standards that will
have an unexpected effect on the business of the Company or Deltec; (iii) there
will be no material change in any of the Company's or Deltec's existing material
contracts or customer relationships; (iv) there will be no change in generally
accepted accounting principles that will have a material effect on the financial
results of the Company or Deltec; (v) there will be no labor or other
disturbances that would materially affect the operations or revenues of the
Company or Deltec; (vi) there will be no material costs, gains or losses in
revenues arising from legal proceedings; (vii) there will be no periods of
recession which might adversely affect demand; (viii) there will be no
acceleration in the decline of product prices, which are currently projected to
decline at a rate of 5-10% per year; and (ix) there will be no inflation.
Although no standard rate of inflation was applied to the Projections, each
number was projected to reflect the actual number at such point in the future to
which such figure relates. See Notes to the Statements of Operations of Exide
Electronics Combined with Deltec, of Exide Electronics -- Stand Alone and of
Deltec -- Stand Alone, for a review of other assumptions underlying the
Projections.
 
     The assumptions described herein are those that the Company believes are
significant to the Projections. The failure of the Company to successfully
implement its operating strategy or the occurrence of any of the events or
circumstances set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph or elsewhere
herein could result in the Company's actual operating results being different
than the Projections, and such differences may be adverse and material.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The pro forma projected Statement of Operations of Exide
Electronics -- Combined with Deltec combines the separate projected Statement of
Operations of Exide Electronics -- Stand Alone with that of Deltec -- Stand
Alone and applies the assumed pro forma effect of the Transactions as defined
and explained below. The separate Stand Alone Statements of Operations do not
reflect any pro forma adjustments related to or any effects resulting from the
Transactions.
 
     The pro forma projected Statement of Operations of Exide
Electronics -- Combined with Deltec for the year ended September 30, 1996 gives
effect to the Deltec Acquisition, the conversion of the Convertible Subordinated
Notes, the New Credit Facility and the Offering (collectively, the
"Transactions") as if they had occurred as of October 1, 1995. The pro forma
Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 1995 gives effect to
the Transactions as if they had occurred as of October 1, 1994.
 
     The pro forma adjustments to reflect the Transactions assume the following
adjustments:

     The above pro forma adjustments are described in more detail in the Notes
to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements. See Note 2 for a
discussion of the preliminary estimates of the cost savings expected to result
from the Deltec Acquisition. See Note 3 for a discussion of the effect of the
preliminary purchase price allocation.
 
     The estimated preliminary non-recurring costs of implementing the above pro
forma cost savings are $3.5 million and are excluded from the above pro forma
adjustments. The actual non-recurring costs will be reflected in the Company's
operating results following the Deltec Acquisition and may differ significantly
from the preliminary estimates.
 
     The pro forma projected Statement of Operations of Exide
Electronics -- Combined with Deltec for the year ended September 30, 1996
assumes the Transactions had occurred as of October 1, 1995. However, the
consummation of the Deltec Acquisition, the New Credit Facility and the Offering
are currently scheduled to close on March 15, 1996. The pro forma results of
operations which the Company projects to report for fiscal 1996, assuming a
March 31, 1996 closing date, assuming actual cost savings resulting from the
Deltec Acquisition of $3 million in fiscal 1996 (representing approximately 4.5
months of actual savings at an annual rate of $8 million), excluding the
non-recurring costs of implementing the cost savings and including one-half of
the projected 1996 Deltec -- Stand Alone revenues, gross profit, income from
operations and EBITDA, are as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>
 
     The increase in pro forma interest expense is due primarily to higher
average principal outstanding under the New Credit Facility. Average LIBOR on
the New Credit Facility is assumed to be 6.0% in 1995 and 5.5% in 1996. There
can be no assurance that interest rates will actually decline.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
     The provision for income taxes is projected to be $5.8 million in fiscal
1996 as compared to a tax benefit of $2.3 million in fiscal 1995. The effective
tax rate is projected to be 52% in 1996 compared to an actual effective tax rate
of 39% for Exide Electronics -- Stand Alone and 24% for Deltec -- Stand Alone in
1995. The higher tax rate in fiscal 1996 is due primarily to the increase in
non-deductible goodwill. While the tax benefits for interest deductions on the
Notes have been reflected in the provision for (benefit from) income taxes, such
deductions may be subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue
Code.
 
MINORITY INTEREST
 
     In 1996, the Company is planning to form 51%-owned subsidiaries in Brazil
and India. The projected operating results of these subsidiaries have been
consolidated with the Company's projected operating results in the Exide
Electronics -- Stand Alone Statement of Operations. The 49% minority interest in
the earnings of these consolidated subsidiaries is projected to be $0.5 million
in 1996.
 
EBITDA
 
     EBITDA represents income from operations plus depreciation and amortization
(including the amortization of purchase accounting adjustments), non-recurring
1995 Exide Electronics merger, acquisition and litigation charges of $7.7
million and Deltec royalty expense payable to Fiskars that will not be charged
after the Deltec Acquisition. While EBITDA should not be construed as a
substitute for income from operations, net income and cash flows from operating
activities in analyzing operating performance, financial position and cash
flows, the Company has included EBITDA because it is commonly used by certain
investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of
operating performance, leverage and liquidity and to determine a company's
ability to service debt.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REVENUE AND MARGIN DATA:
 
     The following data are provided supplementally to the operating data set
forth above in order to reflect the effect on such historical and projected data
of the revenues and gross profit from the Company's business with the federal
government. The federal government product revenues as set forth below are
almost exclusively from large systems products. The Company does not compute
total actual gross margin percentages related to federal government revenues,
but estimates that the actual gross margin percentages for the period from 1991
to 1995 were approximately 20% to 25%.

REVENUES
 
     Revenues are projected to increase to $410.0 million in fiscal 1996 from
$391.0 million in fiscal 1995, an increase of $19.0 million or 4.9%. The
increase in revenues is a result of a projected increase of $56.9 million
(38.4%) in small systems revenues, offset by a projected decrease in large
systems revenues of $23.4 million (19.0%) and a decrease of $14.5 million
(12.1%) in service revenues.
 
     Large systems product revenues and service revenues are projected to be
adversely impacted by scheduled declines in revenues under the Federal Aviation
Administration Airport Traffic Control Center Modernization Program, for which
the Company supplies products and services pursuant to a five-year contract
awarded to the Company by the Air Force Logistics Command (the "ALC Contract")
in May 1988. The Projections do not include incremental revenues that could
result from a favorable resolution of the outstanding protest of the Company's
1995 award of a three-year follow-on to the ALC Contract. See the Company
Periodic Disclosure Documents.
 
     Commercial (non-federal government) revenues in each segment are projected
to grow in part due to continued growth in the UPS industry. The industry growth
is expected to be driven by increases in unit sales, somewhat offset by average
price declines of 5%-10% per annum. The following table sets forth projected
growth in the UPS industry by segment as compared to historical and projected
Company growth.

(1) Total includes commercial and federal government revenues. Commercial
    excludes federal government revenues.
(2) Based on industry analysts' and Company estimates.
 
     As indicated in the above table, the Company is projecting that its revenue
growth in small systems products and large systems commercial sales and in
commercial services will be at rates higher than those projected for the
industry on average, resulting in some market share gains in each segment.
 
     The projected increase in small systems revenues in fiscal 1996 is
partially attributable to the inclusion of a full year's revenues of Lectro
Products, Inc. ("Lectro"), which was acquired at the end of fiscal 1995.
Excluding 1995 actual and 1996 projected revenues of Lectro, the Company is
projecting an increase in small systems revenues of 30.4% in fiscal 1996.
 
     The Company's projected increase in small systems revenues is also
attributable to market share gains that are expected to be generated by
developing new and expanded original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") partnerships
and focusing on selected high growth market segments such as medical equipment.
In addition, the Company will focus on increasing international market share in
small systems products by building on the Company's current name recognition and
reputation. The Company also expects to achieve increased small systems and
large systems sales as a result of new 51%-owned subsidiaries in India and
Brazil, which are expected to begin operations during fiscal 1996. New product
offerings, such as line-interactive UPSs and expanded network management
software, will also drive incremental revenues.

<PAGE>   13
 
     The projected increase in commercial large system revenues is attributable,
in part, to increased international market share, which is expected to be
generated by introduction of certain mid-range products designed specifically
for international use, capitalization on the Company's current name recognition,
reputation and leadership role to exploit opportunities in selected
international markets, establishing a presence in certain under-served
international regions and leveraging the market share and distribution channels
of International Power Machines Corporation ("IPM") with those of the Company.
 
     Commercial service revenues are projected to increase due to initiatives to
capitalize on the trend among UPS end users of outsourcing various services that
the Company can provide, such as facilities and battery monitoring, battery
maintenance services, power quality diagnostic services, and powertrain
maintenance. In addition, the Company has recently expanded its Worldwide
Logistics Center to provide cost efficient depot repair and expects to expand
its revenues from repair and replacement services. The Company has also
identified service opportunities related to small systems products, primarily
battery monitoring, maintenance and extended warranty contracts. International
commercial service revenues have been increasing over time due to recent
acquisitions, and this trend is expected to continue. The Company plans to
continue to improve the global infrastructure that supports its worldwide
service organization, including improving information systems and global repair
and spare part depots, and will benefit from its planned 51%-owned subsidiaries
in Brazil and India, which are currently being formed.
 
GROSS PROFIT
 
     Gross profit is projected to increase to $117.0 million in fiscal 1996 from
$103.9 million in fiscal 1995. As a percentage of total revenues, gross profit
is projected to increase to 28.5% in fiscal 1996 from 26.6% in fiscal 1995 as
follows:

                  Total............................................  26.6         28.5
</TABLE>
 
     The projected increase in small system gross margins in fiscal 1996 is
primarily attributable to programs to standardize manufacturing processes and
incorporate new technologies to reduce costs. The Company also expects to
benefit from continued growth in the Powerware Prestige product family, which
generally generates higher gross margins than the product families it replaced.
Delays and higher than expected introduction costs related to the introduction
of products in the Powerware Prestige family reduced small systems gross margins
in fiscal 1995. In addition, the Company expects to institute programs to reduce
the cost of components by consolidating suppliers, outsourcing selected
sub-assemblies, and use of advanced materials.
 
     The projected increase in large system gross margins in fiscal 1996 is
primarily attributable to a move away from the Company's former strategy of
producing mostly customized products on a job-by-job basis toward more
standardized products with common parts and manufacturing processes. In
addition, fiscal 1996 will see the full year impact of higher margin mid-range
product lines which had very successful introductions in late fiscal 1995 and
contributed to improved margins in that fiscal year.
 
     The projected decrease in services gross margin in fiscal 1996 is primarily
attributable to market conditions, which are expected to require the Company to
reduce pricing to achieve its expected service revenue growth, which should
generate lower gross margins. Service gross margin in fiscal 1996 is also
expected to be adversely affected due to the integration of IPM and the
Company's existing service organizations.
 
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
 
     Selling, general and administrative expense is projected to increase to
$78.5 million in fiscal 1996 from $70.0 million in fiscal 1995. As a percentage
of revenues, selling, general and administrative expense is expected to increase
to 19.1% in fiscal 1996 from 17.9% in fiscal 1995. The increase in selling,
general and
 
                                      P-10
<PAGE>   14
 
administrative expense as a percentage of revenues is primarily attributable to
higher variable selling expenses related to the higher mix of commercial
revenues as compared to government revenues and investments in media to build
brand awareness, sponsorship of the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and the
Company's new 51%-owned subsidiaries in India and Brazil.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE
 
     Research and development expense is projected to increase slightly to $10.0
million in fiscal 1996 from $9.9 million in fiscal 1995. As a percentage of
revenues, however, research and development expense is projected to decrease to
2.4% in fiscal 1996 from 2.5% in fiscal 1995.
 
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
 
     Excluding non-recurring litigation and merger and acquisition expense, the
Company had operating income of $24.0 million, or 6.1% of revenues, in fiscal
1995 which, due to the reasons discussed above, the Company projects will
increase to $28.5 million, or 7.0% of revenues, in fiscal 1996.
 
EBITDA
 
     EBITDA represents income from operations plus depreciation and
amortization, a non-recurring 1994 litigation charge of $5.0 million, and
non-recurring 1995 merger, acquisition and litigation charges of $7.7 million.
While EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for income from operations,
net income and cash flows from operating activities in analyzing operating
performance, financial position and cash flows, the Company has included EBITDA
because it is commonly used by certain investors and analysts to analyze and
compare companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity
and to determine a company's ability to service debt.

                          NOTES TO DELTEC  STAND ALONE
                            STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The Deltec -- Stand Alone projected Statement of Operations for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1996 is based on projected financial information
provided to the Company by Fiskars and Deltec. Because the Deltec Acquisition
has not been consummated and because the Company's management did not
participate in the development of the projected financial information provided
to the Company by Fiskars and Deltec, the ability of the Company's management to
project such information is necessarily more limited than its ability to project
financial information for Exide Electronics -- Stand Alone. Accordingly, the
projected financial information for Deltec -- Stand Alone is necessarily more
speculative in nature.
 
     Based on the results of the Company's due diligence procedures, the Company
has reduced the Deltec -- Stand Alone projected revenues and income from
operations for 1996 from the amounts projected by Fiskars and Deltec. The
Company reduced Deltec product and service revenue growth rates to levels more
in line with expected market growth rates and reduced gross margins to reflect
reduced margins due to pressure from the lower-margin OEM channel, as it becomes
a greater component of Deltec's revenues, and to reflect lower service margins
due to increased competition for third-party service contracts.
 
REVENUES
 
     Revenues are projected to increase to $158.0 million in fiscal 1996 from
$132.9 million in fiscal 1995, an increase of $25.1 million or 18.8% due to an
increase of $22.0 million (19.4%) in product revenues, and an increase of $3.1
million (15.5%) in service revenues. Deltec's annual historical and projected
growth rates as compared to projected industry growth rates are as follows:

</TABLE>
 
     As indicated in the above table, the Company is projecting that Deltec's
revenue growth in products and services will be at rates higher than those
projected for the industry on average, resulting in some market share gains in
those segments.
 
     The projected increases in product revenues in fiscal 1996 are primarily
attributable to increased sales to OEMs, computer distributor channels and
Pan-European distributors. Additionally, sales in fiscal 1996 are expected to
increase, in part, due to the introduction of a new single-phase product line.
 
     The projected increase in service revenues is primarily attributable to
increased service contract sales, in conjunction with increased product sales,
and increased contracts to service UPS products manufactured by third-party
vendors.

GROSS PROFIT
 
     Gross profit is projected to increase to $60.0 million in fiscal 1996 from
$52.1 million in fiscal 1995. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit is
projected to be 38.0% in fiscal 1996, as compared to 39.2% in fiscal 1995 as
follows:

                  Total................................................  39.2     38.0
</TABLE>
 
     Gross margin percentages are projected to decline slightly due to expected
declines in prices of the small systems products, partially offset by improved
manufacturing costs due to expanded manufacturing capabilities, improved
efficiencies and improved production logistics.
 
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
 
     Selling, general and administrative expense is projected to increase to
$37.0 million in fiscal 1996 from $33.6 million in fiscal 1995, an increase of
10.0%. As a percentage of revenues, however, selling, general and administrative
expense is expected to decrease to 23.4% in fiscal 1996 from 25.3% in fiscal
1995. The expected increase in selling, general and administrative expense is
the result of increased marketing expenses in support of small systems products,
continued investment in the European direct sales force and new sales offices in
Europe. The decrease as a percentage of revenues is due to increasing revenues
over a relatively fixed cost base.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE
 
     Research and development expense is projected to remain unchanged at $5.0
million in fiscal 1996. As a percentage of revenues, research and development
expense is projected to decrease to 3.2% in fiscal 1996 from 3.7% in fiscal
1995.
 
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
 
     Operating income (excluding royalty payments for use of Fiskar's trademarks
that will not be paid following the Deltec Acquisition) was $13.4 million in
fiscal 1995 which, for the reasons discussed above, is projected to increase to
$18.0 million in fiscal 1996. As a percentage of revenues, operating income is
projected to increase to 11.4% in fiscal 1996 from 10.1% of revenues in fiscal
1995.
 
EBITDA
 
     EBITDA represents income from operations plus depreciation and amortization
and Deltec royalty expense payable to Fiskars that will not be charged after the
Deltec Acquisition. While EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for
income from operations, net income and cash flows from operating activities in
analyzing operating performance, financial position and cash flows, the Company
has included EBITDA because it is commonly used by certain investors and
analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance,
leverage and liquidity and to determine a company's ability to service debt.

     The following sets forth the Company's Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Statement of Operations and Other Data, and the Company's Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Balance Sheet, in each case giving effect to the Transactions described
in Note 1 hereto as if such transactions had been consummated at the beginning
of fiscal 1995 (in the case of the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of
Operations and Other Data) and on December 31, 1995 (in the case of the Pro
Forma Combined Balance Sheet). The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial
Statements of the Company do not purport to present the financial position or
results of operations of the Company had the Transactions assumed herein
occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the
results of operations which may be expected to occur in the future.
 
     The Exide Electronics operating data for the last twelve months ("LTM")
ended December 31, 1995 was derived from the Exide Electronics Statements of
Operations for the last nine months of the year ended September 30, 1995 and the
three months ended December 31, 1995. The Deltec operating data for the year
ended September 30, 1995, was derived from the Deltec Statements of Income for
the three months ended December 31, 1994, and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.
 
     The Deltec Acquisition will be accounted for by the Company as a purchase
whereby the basis for accounting for Deltec's assets and liabilities will be
based upon their fair market values at the date of the Deltec Acquisition. Pro
forma adjustments, including the preliminary purchase price allocation and
estimated cost savings resulting from the Deltec Acquisition as described in
Notes 1 and 2 of the Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial
Statements, represent the Company's preliminary determination of these
adjustments and are based upon preliminary information, assumptions and
operating decisions which the Company considers reasonable under the
circumstances. Final amounts may differ significantly from those set forth
herein.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
1.   The Company's Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements assume the
     following transactions occurred (1) at the beginning (October 1, 1994) of
     the Company's 1995 fiscal year for purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma
     Combined Statements of Operations and Other Data and (2) on December 31,
     1995, for purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet:
 
     a.    The Deltec Acquisition -- Immediately prior to the closing of the
        Deltec Acquisition, under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement,
        Fiskars will convert all net amounts owed by Deltec to Fiskars or
        affiliates to Deltec shareholders' equity and distribute all Deltec cash
        to Fiskars. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments reflect decreases in
        cash ($5,603), goodwill and intangible assets ($7,384), other accrued
        liabilities ($6,791), deferred liabilities ($1,060) and long-term debt
        ($36,643), along with a corresponding increase to Deltec shareholders'

        It is assumed that the Deltec Acquisition will be financed through
        borrowings of $61,000 under the New Credit Facility, $97,000 from the
        net proceeds of the Offering of the Units, $500 payable to Fiskars on
        January 8, 1997 and $6,157 additional variable amount payable to Fiskars

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
        The foregoing preliminary purchase price allocation is based on
        available information and certain assumptions the Company considers
        reasonable. The final purchase price allocation will be based upon a
        final determination of the fair market value of the net assets acquired
        at the date of the Deltec Acquisition as determined by valuations and
        other studies which are not yet complete. The final purchase price
        allocation may differ significantly from the preliminary allocation.
 
     b.    The conversion on October 23, 1995, of Exide Electronics' 8.375%
        convertible subordinated notes (the "Convertible Subordinated Notes")
        (balance at September 30, 1995 -- $15,000) into 1,146,789 shares of
        Common Stock.
 
     c.    The New Credit Facility -- Simultaneously with closing the Offering,
        the Company will enter into the New Credit Facility to replace its
        existing credit facility. The Deltec Acquisition will be partially
        financed through borrowings under the New Credit Facility.
 
     d.    The issuance of the Notes in the Offering.
 
2.   Because the Deltec Acquisition has not been consummated, the Company has
     begun, but not completed, its strategic and operating plans for the
     integration of Deltec's operations into those of the Company. Once the
     Deltec Acquisition has been consummated, the Company plans to complete its
     strategic and operating integration plan, including coordinating its
     strategic and operating plans and decisions with the plans and decisions of
     Deltec's management. Nevertheless, based on preliminary information,
     assumptions and operating decisions, the Company estimates that it can
     eliminate duplicative costs through the combination of the two companies as
     described below. However, the actual cost savings may differ significantly
     from the preliminary estimates.
 
     The pro forma adjustments to reflect estimated cost savings resulting from
     the Deltec Acquisition assumes the following preliminary estimates of
     expected cost savings:

     Such pro forma adjustments have reduced costs of revenues, selling, general
     and administrative expense and research and development expense by $4,700,
     $2,300 and $1,000, respectively, for both the year ended September 30, 1995
     and the LTM ended December 31, 1995 and by $1,175, $575 and $250 for both
     the three month periods ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
     In addition to the cost savings initiatives and estimated cost savings
     described above, the Company estimates that it can eliminate additional
     annual duplicative costs through the combination of the two companies.
     However, such amount cannot be quantified at this time and has not been
     reflected in the pro forma adjustments.

     (a) Assumes a 11.5% interest rate. Does not reflect the sale of any
         Warrants as part of the Units offered hereby. The issuance of any such
         Warrants will result in the Notes being recorded at a discount, which
         discount will be amortized over the life of the Notes resulting in
         additional interest expense being recorded.
 
     The additional interest expense related to the replacement of the existing
     credit facility with the New Credit Facility was determined based on (i)
     average borrowings outstanding under the existing credit facility of
     $40,985 for the year ended September 30, 1995, $28,550 for the three months
     ended December 31, 1994, $70,334 for the three months ended December 31,
     1995 and $51,431 for the LTM ended December 31, 1995, and (ii) an increase
     in the interest rate from the agent bank's base rate or, at the Company's
     option, the LIBOR rate plus 0.60% under the existing credit facility to the
     agent bank's base rate plus 1.5%, or at the Company's option, the LIBOR
     rate plus 2.5% under the New Credit Facility.
 
     A 25 basis point increase (or decrease) in such interest rates would
     increase (or decrease) annual interest expense with respect to the New
     Credit Facility by $378 based on pro forma borrowings of $151,200 at
     December 31, 1995.
 
6.   The pro forma adjustments to the provision for income taxes assumes a tax
     benefit at a 39% tax rate is applied (1) to the pro forma adjustments which
     are assumed to be deductible for tax return purposes and (2) to
     non-deductible pro forma adjustments for which deferred income taxes were
     established in the preliminary purchase price allocation. While tax
     benefits for interest deductions on the Notes have been reflected in the
     pro forma adjustments, such deductions may be subject to certain
     limitations under the Code (as defined).

</TABLE>
 
     The accreted dividends relate to the accretion of the difference between
     the assumed fair market value of the Series G Preferred Stock at the Deltec
     Acquisition date ($18,000) and the redemption price at the option of holder
     ($24,000) after September 30, 2006 over the period from the Deltec
     Acquisition date to September 30, 2006.
 
     Pro forma primary and fully diluted earnings per share are the same for all
     periods presented. The computation of pro forma primary and fully diluted
     earnings per share assumes that the Exide Electronics Series D and E
     preferred stock were converted to Common Stock on October 1, 1994.
 
8.   EBITDA represents income from operations plus depreciation and amortization
     (including depreciation and amortization of purchase accounting
     adjustments), non-recurring 1995 Exide Electronics merger, acquisition and
     litigation charges of $7,700 and Deltec royalty expense payable to Fiskars
     which will not be charged after the Deltec Acquisition. While EBITDA should
     not be construed as a substitute for income from operations, net income and
     cash flows from operating activities in analyzing operating performance,
     financial position and cash flows, the Company has included EBITDA because
     it is commonly used by certain investors and analysts to analyze and
     compare companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and
     liquidity and to determine a company's ability to service debt.
 
9.   In the computation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings
     consist of income before income taxes plus fixed charges minus the
     undistributed earnings of Exide Electronics' 50%-owned subsidiary accounted
     for by the equity method. Fixed charges consist of interest expense which
     includes amortization of deferred financing costs, and one-third of rental
     expenses which represents that portion of rental expenses attributable to
     interest. On a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions,
     earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $7,778 for the year
     ended September 30, 1995 and $9,529 for the three months ended December 31,
     1994. Adjusted to eliminate non-cash charges of depreciation and
     amortization of $28,861 for the year ended September 30, 1995 and $13,164
     for the three months ended December 31, 1994, pro forma earnings would have
     exceeded fixed charges by $21,083 and $3,635, respectively.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
TO EXIDE ELECTRONICS GROUP, INC.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Exide
Electronics Group, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of
September 30, 1994 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in common shareholders' equity and cash flows (restated for
the pooling-of-interest transaction as discussed in Note 2) for each of the
three years in the period ended September 30, 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated 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 financial position of Exide Electronics Group,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1994 and 1995 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows (restated for the pooling-of-interest
transaction as discussed in Note 2) for each of the three years in the period
ended September 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
     As explained in Note 12, in 1993 the Company changed its method of
accounting for income taxes.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     BASIS OF PRESENTATION  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Exide Electronics Group, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. The Company designs, manufactures, markets, and services a broad
line of uninterruptible power systems ("UPS") products that protect computers
and other sensitive electronic equipment against electrical power distortions
and interruptions. The Company's products are used principally for financial,
medical, industrial, telecommunications, military, and aerospace applications
throughout the world. The Company's investment in a joint venture is accounted
for using the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior
years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation. These reclassifications are not material.
 
     On February 8, 1995, the Company completed the merger of International
Power Machines Corporation ("IPM") with and into a newly formed subsidiary of
the Company. The merger was structured as a tax-free exchange and was accounted
for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements and related notes include the accounts and results of
operations of IPM for all periods presented (see Note 2).
 
     REVENUES  Revenues from product sales are recognized at the time of
shipment to customers. Service revenues are recognized as services are
performed. Maintenance contract revenues, net of directly associated costs, are
deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
contracts. All revenues are shown net of provisions for customer returns and
adjustments.
 
     ADVERTISING COSTS  Advertising costs are reported in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations
and include costs of advertising, public relations, trade shows, direct
mailings, customer seminars, and other activities designed to enhance demand for
the Company's products. Advertising costs were $4,356,000 in 1993, $5,972,000 in
1994, and $7,344,000 in 1995. There are no capitalized advertising costs in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
 
     PER SHARE DATA  Primary net income per common and equivalent share is
computed using net income after preferred stock dividends and the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents.
Fully diluted net income per share is similarly computed but includes the
effect, when dilutive, of assumed conversion of the Company's convertible
subordinated notes, and prior to its conversion, the Company's redeemable
preferred stock (see Note 8).
 
     INVENTORIES  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method for certain domestic
inventories and by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method for the remaining
inventories.
 
     PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT  Property, plant, and equipment is stated at
original cost. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using primarily the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and primarily accelerated
methods for tax purposes. For financial reporting purposes, equipment is
depreciated over three to ten years and buildings are depreciated over thirty
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life
of the asset or the term of the lease.
 
     SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS  Costs of developing new software products and
enhancements to existing software products are capitalized after technological
feasibility is established. The costs of capitalized software are amortized over
the estimated useful lives of the related products, generally one to five years.
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1994 and 1995
includes unamortized software development costs of $2,128,000 and $2,072,000,
respectively. Related amortization expense was $277,000 in 1993, $683,000 in
1994, and $1,035,000 in 1995.
 
     GOODWILL  Goodwill is amortized over periods ranging from ten to forty
years.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES  Certain of the Company's non-U.S.
subsidiaries use their local currency as their functional currency. Their asset
and liability accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in
effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated
using average exchange rates during the period. Translation adjustments are
recorded directly to the cumulative translation adjustments component of common
shareholders' equity and do not affect the results of operations. Losses on
foreign currency transactions were $221,000 in 1993, $257,000 in 1994, and
$218,000 in 1995.
 
     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 reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results
may differ from those estimates.
 
     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS  The Financial Accounting Standards Board
recently issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This statement requires
long-lived assets to be evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 121 in fiscal 1996 and does not
expect its provisions to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
results of operations.
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board also recently issued SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This statement introduces a
fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. It
encourages, but does not require, companies to recognize compensation expense
for grants of stock, stock options and other equity instruments to employees
based on the new fair value accounting rules. However, if the Company chooses
not to recognize compensation expense in accordance with the provisions of this
statement, pro forma disclosures are required in the notes to consolidated
financial statements. The Company will adopt the disclosure provisions of SFAS
No. 123 by fiscal 1997.
 
NOTE 2: MERGER WITH IPM
 
     On February 8, 1995, the Company completed the merger of IPM with and into
a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company. IPM develops, manufactures, sells, and
services UPS products, and is compatible with Exide Electronics in terms of the
products and services provided and its channels of distribution. Under the terms
of the agreement, the Company issued approximately 1,510,000 newly registered
shares of Exide Electronics' common stock for all of the outstanding shares of
IPM's common and preferred stock. The merger was structured as a tax-free
exchange and was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been
restated to include the accounts and results of operations of IPM for all
periods presented.
 
     Historically, IPM prepared its financial statements using a December 31
fiscal year end. As of September 30, 1994, IPM's fiscal year end has been
changed to conform to Exide Electronics' September 30 year end. The consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 1994, combines Exide
Electronics' historical consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1994, with IPM's consolidated statement of operations for
the year ended September 30, 1994. In accordance with the accounting rules
prescribed or permitted for pooling-of-interests, the restated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1993 combine the historical
consolidated results of operations of Exide Electronics for the year then ended
with IPM's historical consolidated results of operations for the calendar year
ended December 31, 1993. As a result, IPM's operations for the quarter ended
December 31, 1993, are included in the consolidated statements of income,
changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for both of the fiscal years
ended September 30, 1994 and 1993. IPM's revenues were $9,486,000 and net income
was $688,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1993.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     The restated balance sheet as of September 30, 1994 combines Exide
Electronics' historical consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1994 with
IPM's historical consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The restated
balance sheet as of September 30, 1993 combines Exide Electronics' historical
consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1993 with IPM's historical
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993. An adjustment to conform
IPM's fiscal year is shown in the accompanying consolidated statement of changes
in shareholders' equity. An adjustment is also shown in the accompanying
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended September 30, 1994 to
account for IPM's change in cash for the quarter ended December 31, 1993.
Combined and separate results of Exide Electronics and IPM during the periods
preceding the merger were as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>
 
     The combined financial results presented above and the accompanying
consolidated financial statements include adjustments to conform the accounting
methodology of IPM for reserving for excess and obsolete service inventories to
the accounting methodology used by Exide Electronics. There were no intercompany
transactions during the periods presented.
 
     In connection with the merger, the Company recorded a nonrecurring charge
of $5.5 million ($4.4 million after tax) in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.
This charge included approximately $3.0 million for legal, accounting, financial
advisory, and other costs. The Company also expensed approximately $2.5 million
for the estimated costs of closing a duplicate operating facility and
discontinuing certain duplicate product lines manufactured at that facility. As
of September 30, 1995, all operations at the duplicate facility have ceased, and
the Company has entered into negotiations to sell the remaining fixed assets at
the facility. The Company is also in the process of disposing of excess
inventories related to the duplicate product lines. Other than amounts
sufficient to cover remaining lease payments on the duplicate facilities and
disposal of excess inventory, there are no significant accrued costs related to
the merger included in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1995.

NOTE 5: SHORT-TERM DEBT
 
     Certain of the Company's subsidiaries maintain various lines of credit.
These lines, which had interest rates ranging from 7.25% to 8.50% at September
30, 1995, are primarily due on demand and are generally secured by guaranties of
payment by the Company. Approximately $4,902,000 and $7,130,000 were outstanding
under these facilities at September 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The
remaining availability under these facilities at September 30, 1995, was

     At September 30, 1995, the Company had $145 million of committed domestic
unsecured bank credit facilities comprised of a $95 million revolving credit
facility ("Facility A") for working capital and general corporate purposes,
which may include letters of credit, and a $50 million revolving credit facility
("Facility B") for financing certain acquisitions and refinancing specified
existing obligations. Facility A includes a sublimit of $30 million which may be
used in support of the Company's international subsidiaries.
 
     Amounts outstanding at September 30, 1995 under both facilities bear
interest at either the agent bank's base rate or, at the Company's option, the
LIBOR rate plus .60%. For the year ended September 30, 1995, the weighted
average interest rate on these facilities was 6.5%. The average daily unutilized
commitment incurs a commitment fee of .20% per annum, and letters of credit bear
a fee of .60% per annum. These rates and fees may be adjusted based on a senior
debt to cash flow ratio, as defined. Balances outstanding on these facilities at
September 30, 1994 and 1995 approximated their fair value. Amounts outstanding
under Facility A are due and payable on September 30, 1997. Amounts outstanding
under Facility B will convert to a term loan on September 30, 1996, with
quarterly principal payments thereafter of 5% of the amount outstanding on
conversion, with the remaining balance due September 30, 1999.
 
     The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a
senior debt to cash flow ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a leverage ratio,
and a minimum net worth requirement. As of September 30, 1995, the Company was
in compliance with all financial covenants, as amended. The agreement also
imposes certain restrictions on mergers, acquisitions, investments in other
companies and liquidations; additional senior indebtedness; disposition of
assets; related party transactions; and prohibits payments of dividends on
common stock if the Company would be in default before or after such dividend
payment.
 
     In December 1995, the Company received a commitment to refinance these
facilities, concurrent with the closing of the Deltec Acquisition (see Note 16).
 
     In fiscal 1990, Industrial Revenue Bonds ("the IRBs") in the aggregate
amount of $9 million were issued to finance a portion of the cost of
constructing a manufacturing facility near Wilmington, North Carolina. The
average interest rate on the IRBs was 7.24%. On June 1, 1994, the Company
executed a partial redemption in the amount of $2.6 million using the excess
project funds held in trust. On December 1, 1994, the Company exercised its
option to redeem the remaining bonds outstanding at a redemption price of 102%.

     In September 1992, the Company sold $15 million of convertible subordinated
notes (the "Notes"). The Notes bore interest at 8.375% per annum, payable
semi-annually. The Notes were convertible into common stock of the Company at
any time for an initial conversion price of $13.08 per share, subject to
adjustment for certain events. On October 23, 1995, the holder of the Notes
exercised its option to convert the Notes into 1,146,789 shares of the Company's
common stock. The market value of the Notes if they had been converted into the
Company's common stock was approximately $24.9 million and $21.5 million at
September 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 8: REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
     Authorized preferred stock consists of 2,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value
preferred stock, of which 6,000 shares have been designated as Series D
Preferred Stock, 6,000 shares as Series E Preferred Stock, and 200,000 shares as
Series F Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
 
     In August 1991, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock
(the "Series C shares") at a purchase price of $1,000 per share. The Series C
shares were convertible at the option of the holder into the Company's common
stock at a conversion price per share of $9.5062. The holder exercised this
option in August 1993 and converted the Series C shares into 525,972 shares of
the Company's common stock. In February 1995, authorization for Series C
Preferred Stock was removed from the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.
 
     In July 1992, the Company issued to Japan Storage Battery Co., Ltd. ("JSB")
5,100 shares of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock (the "Series D shares")

the right to convert some or all of the Series D shares into the Company's
common stock at a conversion price per share of $13.08, subject to adjustment
upon the occurrence of certain events. In December 1992, JSB exercised an option
to purchase 4,900 shares of Series E Preferred Stock (the "Series E shares") at
a purchase price of $1,000 per share. The Series E shares were convertible at
the option of JSB into the Company's common stock at a conversion price per
share of $23.86, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. On
July 1, 1995, JSB exercised these options and converted all of the Series D and
Series E shares into 595,273 shares of the Company's common stock.
 
     The Company owns 50% of a joint venture with JSB for distribution of
products in Japan. The carrying value of the Company's investment in the joint
venture at September 30, 1995 was $399,000. Total sales to the joint venture by
the Company were approximately $3.6 million in 1993, $4.1 million in 1994, and
$9.1 million in 1995. Accounts receivable from the joint venture were
approximately $938,000 and $2,806,000 at September 30, 1994 and 1995,
respectively.
 
NOTE 9: COMMON SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
     As of September 30, 1995, the Company had notes receivable of $5,520,000
(including accrued interest of $1,917,000) related to the sale of 537,852 shares
of common stock to certain employees. The notes generally bear simple interest
at prime and are payable ten years from the date of issuance or earlier upon
sales of the shares or upon termination of employment. The market value of these
notes receivable was approximately $5,120,000 and $4,956,000 at September 30,
1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
     In November 1992, the Board of Directors adopted a shareholders' rights
plan to deter coercive takeover tactics and to prevent a potential acquirer from
gaining control of the Company without offering a fair price to all of the
Company's shareholders. The Board declared a dividend distribution of one right
for each share of common stock outstanding on or issued after December 7, 1992
(the "Right" or "Rights"). Each Right, when exercisable, entitles the registered
holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series F
Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $80 per one
one-hundredth share, subject to certain adjustments. The Rights will become
exercisable only upon the occurrence of a person or group acquiring beneficial
ownership of 15% or more of the Company's then outstanding common stock, and
will expire in December 2002 unless previously redeemed or exchanged by the
Company.
 
     In the event that a person becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of
the Company's then outstanding shares of common stock, except pursuant to an
offer for all outstanding shares of common stock which the outside directors
determine to be fair to and otherwise in the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders, each holder of a Right, other than the person triggering the
Rights, will have the right to receive common stock (or in certain
circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value
equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Similarly, if the Company is
acquired in a merger or other similar business combination without the consent
of the Company's Board of Directors, each holder of a Right, except the person
triggering the Rights, will have the right to receive common stock of the
acquiring Company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the
Right.
 
     In November 1994, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Purchases may be made from time to
time as management considers appropriate. In October 1995, the Company
repurchased approximately 131,000 shares of its common stock.

NOTE 12: INCOME TAXES
 
     As of the beginning of fiscal 1993, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
which superseded Statement No. 96, the method of accounting for income taxes
previously used by the Company. Statement No. 109 requires recognition of future
tax benefits, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely
than not, attributable to deductible temporary differences between the financial
statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and to tax net
operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"). The Company elected to adopt Statement
No. 109 using the prospective adoption method. Under this method, the Company
recognized an increase in net income of $1.0 million in fiscal year 1993 for the
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle. The increase resulted
from recording the net benefit of approximately $850,000 in net deferred tax
assets for temporary differences and state income tax NOLs which could not
previously be recognized under Statement No. 96, and approximately $150,000 for
the net benefit of NOLs for certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.
 
     Components of the tax provision are shown below (in thousands):

     The Company's foreign subsidiaries have tax NOLs of approximately $3.4
million, of which $1.3 million expires in fiscal 1998, and $2.1 million has no
expiration date. If the NOLs are fully utilized at current statutory tax rates
of the respective countries, the total asset is estimated to be approximately
$1.2 million. Although the Company anticipates future operating income in these
subsidiaries, because of prior operating losses in these subsidiaries, as well
as general economic conditions, competition, and other factors beyond the
Company's control, there can be no guarantee that these NOLs will be utilized. A
valuation reserve has been established which reduces the net deferred tax asset
of the NOLs to an amount which the Company believes is more likely than not to
be realized.
 
     The Company has not provided for potential U.S. taxes on undistributed
earnings of its foreign subsidiaries of approximately $7.6 million at September
30, 1995, as it does not currently intend to repatriate such earnings.

NOTE 14: ACQUISITIONS
 
     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company acquired Lectro
Products, Inc. ("Lectro"), a broadband industry leader specializing in power
protection and other transmission enhancement devices for converging cable
television and telecommunications networks, for approximately $12.4 million plus
the assumption of certain liabilities. The acquisition was accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. In connection with the acquisition, the
Company recorded goodwill of approximately $10.2 million, which is being
amortized over 20 years. The Company is evaluating the final purchase price
allocation, which may impact currently recorded goodwill. Lectro's results of
operations are included in the Company's results of operations beginning in July
1995. If Lectro had been consolidated at the beginning of the fiscal year, the
effect on the Company's operations or financial condition would not have been
significant.
 
     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company acquired two
companies in Canada and one in the United Kingdom. These companies are involved
in the sales and service of UPS products. The acquisitions were accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill totaling approximately $4.0
million was recorded and is being amortized over periods ranging from ten to
twenty years. The results of operations of these companies were included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements at various dates beginning in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1994. If these companies had been consolidated at the
beginning of fiscal 1994, the effect on the Company's operations or financial
condition would not have been significant.
 
     During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1993, the Company completed the
acquisition of DataTrax Systems Corporation ("DataTrax"). DataTrax is a
developer of power, environmental, and security monitoring systems for computer
rooms and other mission-critical applications, and is based in Colorado. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill
of approximately $1.0 million was recorded and is being amortized over 15 years.
The results of operations of DataTrax were included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements beginning in September 1993. If DataTrax had
been consolidated at the beginning of fiscal 1993, the effect on the Company's
operations or financial condition would not have been significant.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     In September 1995, the Company wrote off approximately $1.5 million
($813,000 after tax) of costs related to a proposed acquisition that was not
consummated. Such costs were incurred during fiscal 1995, and consisted
primarily of legal, accounting, and other financial advisory services.
 
NOTE 15: CONTINGENCIES
 
     LITIGATION  In January 1989, a case was filed by a former manufacturer's
representative of the Company, alleging that the Company failed to pay
commissions owed to him on certain sales. In April 1990, a jury awarded the
plaintiff damages of approximately $14.9 million. The Company appealed the
decision, and in September 1992, the appellate court reversed the judgment
against the Company. In response to various motions filed by the plaintiff, a
new trial was granted, and in March 1994, the jury in the new trial awarded
damages of $3.75 million to the plaintiff. While the Company continued to
believe that it should have no liability in this matter and announced its
intention to appeal, it recorded a one-time charge in the second quarter of
fiscal 1994 of $4,997,000 ($2,936,000 after tax) for the jury verdict and for
the costs of the trial.
 
     In July 1994, the Company announced that this litigation had been settled.
Following agreement among the parties to settle, the court vacated the jury
award of $3.75 million previously entered and determined that the vacated
judgment cannot be used against the Company in the future. To avoid further
litigation including post-trial motions and appeals, the Company settled the
case by making payments to the plaintiff and his attorneys. The parties
thereafter stipulated that the entire action was dismissed with prejudice. Since
the total value of the settlement payments was less than the one-time charge for
the jury verdict recorded by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 1994,
no further charges were necessary in this matter. By agreement with the
plaintiff, the terms of the confidential settlement were not disclosed.
 
     In May 1990, the Company was served with a complaint in the Delaware Court
of Chancery and in May 1991, a related case was filed in Federal Court in New
York. These complaints alleged, among other things, that the Company's
description of the case involving the manufacturer's representative in its
prospectus dated December 21, 1989, was false and misleading. In April 1995, the
Company announced that it had settled both the Delaware and New York suits. The
Delaware action had been dismissed once for failure to state a claim, but was
reinstated following an appeal and was in the discovery process prior to the
settlement. The Company recorded a charge of $700,000 ($424,000 after tax) for
the settlement of the two related lawsuits in the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
Court approval of the settlement agreement, after notice to affected
shareholders, was granted in August 1995. While the Company believed that
neither suit had merit, it decided to settle as the suits were taking valuable
corporate time and attention and would have involved significant legal costs to
pursue further.
 
     The Company is involved in various litigation proceedings incidental to its
business. The defense of most of these matters is handled by the Company's
insurance carriers. The Company believes that the outcome of such other pending
litigation in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on its
financial statements.
 
     GOVERNMENT CONTRACT MATTERS  Sales to the United States Federal government
accounted for approximately 35%, 33%, and 27% of total revenues for the years
ended September 30, 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively. The Company's Federal
government business is currently performed under firm fixed-price type contracts
and time-and-materials type contracts, and at times a combination of both
contract types. The Company's compliance with government contract regulations is
audited or reviewed from time to time by government auditors, who have the right
to audit the Company's records and the records of its subcontractors during and
after completion of contract performance. Under Federal government regulations,
certain costs are not allowable as costs for which the government will reimburse
the Company. Government auditors may recommend that certain charges be treated
as unallowable and reimbursement be made to the government. The Company provides
for estimated unallowable charges and voluntary refunds in its financial
statements, and believes that its provisions are adequate as of September 30,
1995.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     During fiscal 1993, the Company engaged in discussions with the Federal
government regarding contract interpretation matters relating to certain
time-and-materials charges by the Company under its principal government
contract. In August 1993, the Company reached an agreement with the Federal
government under which these matters were resolved to the satisfaction of the
Company. Under this agreement, there were no adjustments relating to the
Company's past time-and-materials charges, and accordingly there was no effect
on the Company's financial statements for prior periods relating to this matter.
The agreement provided for adjustments to certain hourly labor rates and limited
the recovery of certain general and administrative costs prospectively from
August 1993.
 
     In June 1995, the Company was awarded a follow-on ALC contract. This is a
three-year requirements contract, which permits extension of the ordering period
for up to two additional one-year periods at the option of the Government.
Actual revenues under this contract will depend on the specific purchases, if
any, by the Air Force and other governmental agencies which can use the contract
during the contract period. Following the award of the contract, certain
competitors filed protests with the General Accounting Office ("GAO"). In
December 1995, the GAO notified the Company that all of the protests had been
dismissed, except the protest of the Air Force's evaluation of certain discounts
offered by the Company in the contract. In sustaining this protest on the basis
that it did, the GAO did not recommend termination of the contract or any other
remedy adverse to the interests of the Company at this time. As a result, the
Company retains the contract for the present and the Government can place orders
under the contract. The GAO has, however, recommended that the Air Force amend a
portion of the request for proposal that led to the contract award. The GAO
further recommended that the Air Force allow the protesting companies and the
Company to submit new proposals regarding such portion, and that the Air Force
re-evaluate the award to the Company based upon these new proposals. The Company
has not been advised by the Air Force whether it will contest or accept the
GAO's recommendations. Similarly, the Air Force has not advised the Company of
its plans regarding the issuance of additional orders under the contract, or an
amended request for proposal. No assurances can be given that the Company
ultimately will retain the contract.
 
NOTE 16: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     In November 1995, the Company executed a definitive agreement to acquire
Deltec Power Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Deltec") from Fiskars Oy Ab
("Fiskars") and an affiliated company for a purchase price of approximately $195
million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The acquisition will be
accounted for as a purchase. Under the stock purchase agreement, Fiskars will
receive cash of approximately $157.5 million and 1,875,000 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at a fixed price of $20 per share ($37.5 million),
in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Deltec.
Deltec had revenues of $86.8 million and net income of $1.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, and revenues of $97.2 million and net income of
$3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. Deltec has two principal
operating subsidiaries: Deltec Electronics Corporation, which is headquartered
in San Diego, California; and FPS Power Systems Oy Ab, which is based in Espoo,
Finland near Helsinki. Deltec is one of the world's largest manufacturers and
marketers of off-line and line-interactive small UPS systems. Off-line and
line-interactive systems are smaller and less expensive than larger on-line
systems, and are suitable for applications where system downtime may be less
costly, such as personal or small business uses. The combination will strengthen
the product line offering of the Company and enhance its global service
capabilities. It is expected that the acquisition will close in the first
calendar quarter of 1996, after completion of due diligence reviews by the
Company and attainment of all required governmental and other regulatory
approvals.
 
     In December 1995, the Company received a commitment from several banks to
establish a five-year senior bank package (the "Facilities") of up to $225
million comprised of a $75 million term loan (the "Term Loan") and a $150
million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). The Term Loan would be used
for the Deltec acquisition and to refinance a portion of the Company's existing
debt, while the Revolver would be

used for working capital, letters of credit, and general corporate purposes.
Amounts outstanding under the Facilities would be secured by substantially all
the inventory and accounts receivable of the Company and would initially bear
interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points, or the bank's base rate plus 100 basis
points, as defined. This commitment is subject to consummation of the Deltec
acquisition by February 28, 1996, and the issuance of at least $75 million of
subordinated debt, or equivalent bridge financing.

     The Company completed its merger with IPM during the second quarter of
1995. This merger has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, as discussed
in Note 2. Accordingly, the results for all quarterly periods presented include
the results of IPM. Per share amounts have been recalculated after adding the
shares of Exide Electronics common stock issued to effect the merger to weighted
average share amounts.
 
     In connection with the merger, the Company recorded a non-recurring charge
in the second quarter of $5.5 million ($4.4 million after tax). The one-time
charge included approximately $3.0 million for legal, accounting, financial
advisory, and other costs related to the merger. The Company also expensed
approximately $2.5 million for the estimated costs of closing a duplicate
operating facility and discontinuing certain duplicate product lines
manufactured at that facility.
 
     The Company incurred additional nonrecurring charges in the second quarter
of fiscal 1995 for litigation, and in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 for
expenses related to a potential acquisition. The amount of these charges was
$700,000, or $424,000 after tax (see Note 15), and $1,500,000, or $813,000 after
tax (see Note 14), respectively.
 
     The Company recorded a one-time litigation charge in the second quarter of
fiscal 1994 of $5.0 million ($2.9 million after tax), which is described in Note
15.
 
     The sum of quarterly per share amounts does not necessarily equal the
annual net income per share due to the rounding effect of the weighted average
common shares outstanding for the individual periods, and for the fully diluted
calculation, to the inclusion of the dilutive effect of convertible securities.
 
     The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 was lower than
the rate for the previous quarters in fiscal 1995. The lower rate reflected the
use in the fourth quarter of foreign NOL's due to a different mix of foreign
versus domestic taxable earnings for the full year than was anticipated in prior
quarters.

NOTE 3 -- LONG-TERM DEBT
 
     At December 31, 1995, the Company had borrowings of $76.1 million
outstanding under its $145 million package of committed domestic unsecured bank
credit facilities comprised of a $95 million revolving credit facility for
working capital and general corporate purposes, including a sublimit of $30
million which may be used in support of its international subsidiaries, and a
$50 million revolving credit facility to be used for financing certain
acquisitions and refinancing specified existing obligations. The credit
agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a senior debt to cash
flow ratio, a fixed charge ratio, a leverage ratio and a minimum net worth
requirement. At December 31, 1995, the Company was in compliance with all

any time for an initial conversion price of $13.08 per share, subject to
adjustment for certain events. On October 23, 1995, the holder of the Notes
exercised its option to convert the Notes into 1,146,789 shares of the Company's
common stock.

and an unspecified number of Warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Common
Stock as described elsewhere herein. The purchase price of approximately $188.1
million will be comprised of approximately $158.5 million in cash, 825,000
shares of the Company's common stock valued at $14.00 per share, and 1,000,000
shares of the Company's Series G Convertible Preferred Stock valued at $18.00
per share (the "Series G Preferred Stock"). The purchase price was determined
based on an assumption that the net book value of Deltec on the closing would be
approximately $28.7 million. The purchase price will be adjusted upward or
downward to the extent the closing date net book value (as adjusted for certain
excluded assets and liabilities) differs from this amount. The Series G
Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock on
a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances), will
have a dividend rate of $0.80 per share through March 31, 2001, and $1.20 per
share thereafter, will be subject to redemption at the option of the holder at
$24 per share at any time after September 30, 2006 and will have a liquidation
preference of $20 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company
expects to finance the cash portion of the purchase price, excluding transaction
costs, with (i) the net proceeds of the Offering (excluding transaction costs),
estimated to be $97.0 million, (ii) an estimated $61.0 million of borrowings
under a new credit facility (the "New Credit Facility"), for which the Company
has obtained a commitment and (iii) $500,000 payable to Fiskars on January 8,
1997. The New Credit Facility will provide for term and revolving credit
facilities in the aggregate amount of up to $225.0 million, which will be
automatically reduced to $200.0 million upon completion of the Offering.
Consummation of the Offering and the Deltec Acquisition and the effectiveness of
the New Credit Facility are each contingent upon the consummation or
effectiveness, as applicable, of each other. In the event that the Deltec
acquisition is not consummated by March 15, 1996, the Company will be required
to pay Fiskars a $5 million break-up fee. In addition, the Company has agreed to
make certain interest payments to Fiskars through March 15, 1996. Such interest
payments will be made regardless of whether the Deltec Acquisition is
consummated and are estimated to be approximately $4.1 million.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors
  and Shareholders of
  Deltec Power Systems, Inc.
 
     In our opinion, based upon our audits and the reports of other auditors,
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
combined/consolidated statements of operations, of shareholders' equity and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Deltec Power Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31,
1994 and September 30, 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 and for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. 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 did not audit the financial statements of FPS
Power Systems Oy Ab, FPS Power Systems A/S, Fiskars Power Systems A/S and
Fiskars Power Systems AB, wholly-owned subsidiaries, which statements reflect
total assets of $13.0 and $23.7 million at December 31, 1994 and September 30,
1995, respectively, and total revenues of $20.8, $26.7 and $25.8 million for the
years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 and for the nine months ended September
30, 1995, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose
reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those companies, is based
solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of
other auditors provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
 
     As discussed in Notes 2 and 9 to the financial statements, effective
January 1, 1993, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 was
adopted.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors of
FPS Power Systems Oy Ab
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of FPS Power Systems Oy Ab
(the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deltec Power Systems, Inc., as of
December 31, 1994 and September 30, 1995, and the related statements of income
and cash flows for years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 and the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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.
 
     As more fully described in note 1 to the financial statements, the Company
accounts for its investments in wholly-owned subsidiaries using the cost method.
The subsidiaries should be consolidated in order to conform with generally
accepted accounting principles.
 
     In our opinion, except for the effects of accounting for investments in
subsidiaries on the cost method as discussed in the preceding paragraph, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of FPS Power Systems Oy Ab, as of December 31, 1994 and
September 30, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 and the nine months ended September 30,
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America.

To the Board of Directors
and Shareholder of
Fiskars Power Systems A/S
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fiskars Power Systems
A/S, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deltec Power Systems, Inc., as of September
30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 and the related statements of income and retained
earnings and of cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995
and for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. 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 have conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
 
     As more fully described in summary of significant accounting policies note
to the financial statements, the Company accounts for its wholly owned
subsidiary company, on the equity method. The subsidiary should be consolidated
to conform with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
     In our opinion, except for the effects of accounting for its investment in
subsidiary on the equity method, the financial statements audited by us present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fiskars Power
Systems A/S at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the nine month period ended September
30, 1995 and for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, in conformity with

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     (AMOUNTS AT DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND FOR
                       THE YEAR THEN ENDED ARE UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
     Deltec Power Systems, Inc. ("DPSI" or the "Company") was organized on
September 27, 1994 by Fiskars Oy Ab ("Fiskars"), a Finnish company, to acquire
the outstanding common shares of FPS Power Systems Oy Ab ("Power Systems") and
Deltec Electronics Corporation ("Deltec"). As discussed in Note 12, DPSI
acquired Power Systems from Fiskars and Deltec was acquired from Fiskars
Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiskars. This acquisition, between
companies under common control, was treated as a tax-free reorganization. Assets
acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at approximate historical values.
 
     The accompanying DPSI financial statements include Deltec and Power Systems
on a combined basis prior to the formation of DPSI and on a consolidated basis
thereafter. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated.
 
     Deltec's financial statements include the accounts of Deltec S.A. de C.V.,
a subsidiary in Mexico. During 1994, Deltec purchased the assets and assumed
certain liabilities of Network Security Systems, Inc. ("NSSI"). The excess of
the purchase price over the market value of the net assets acquired was recorded
as goodwill. NSSI designs, manufactures and markets a line of uninterruptible
power supplies and related software used in computer networking environments.
NSSI's operations are not material. On July 1, 1994, Fiskars Holdings, Inc.
pushed down $6,000,000 of acquisition debt to Deltec; accordingly, an
intercompany note payable was recorded and common stock was reduced by this
amount as a return of capital.
 
     The financial statements of Power Systems include the accounts of the
following wholly-owned subsidiaries:

NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY
 
     Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated
at period-end exchange rates; income and expenses are translated at average
exchange rates prevailing during the year. Gains and losses from the translation
of foreign currency financial statements are accumulated as a separate component
of shareholders' equity. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses were not
significant.
 
INVENTORIES
 
     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
on a first-in, first-out method.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their
estimated useful lives of three to ten years on a straight-line basis for
financial reporting purposes. Expenditures which substantially increase value or
extend useful lives are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as
incurred.
 
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
     Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their
estimated economic lives of three to ten years. The Company reviews the carrying
value of intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Measurement of any
impairment would include a comparison of estimated future operating cash flows
anticipated to be generated during the remaining life to the net carrying value
of the intangible.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment. Revenue and the
directly-related costs arising from the sale of maintenance and extended
warranty contracts are recognized ratably over the terms of the individual
contracts.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
     Deltec was included in the consolidated income tax return of Fiskars
Holdings, Inc. until the formation of DPSI on September 27, 1994; thereafter,
Deltec has been included in the consolidated income tax return of the Company.
Federal and state income tax provisions and related tax balances through
September 27, 1994 were allocated to Deltec on a separate-company basis by its
parent and were settled periodically through the intercompany accounts. The
Company's foreign subsidiaries, both before and after the formation of DPSI,
filed tax returns in their respective countries based on their separate taxable
income.
 
     Domestic income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign
subsidiaries which are considered to be permanently invested. If undistributed
earnings were remitted, foreign tax credits would substantially offset any
resulting domestic tax liability.
 
     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 ("FAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes". The
adoption of FAS 109 changes the method of accounting for income taxes from the
deferred method to an asset and liability approach, which requires recognition
of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences
of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the
assets and liabilities.
 
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     The financial data as of and for the year ended December 31, 1995 is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, this financial data includes
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
a fair statement of the results for the year ended December 31, 1995.

annually by Deltec's board of directors. Contributions totalled $210,000,
$336,000 and $560,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995,

NOTE 12 -- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
     The Company has authorized 3,000 shares of Class A redeemable preferred
stock and 6,000 shares of common stock, each with a par value of $.01 per share.
 
     On September 27, 1994, the Company issued 1,500 shares of Class A
redeemable preferred stock to Fiskars Holdings, Inc. in exchange for the
outstanding common shares of Deltec Electronics Corporation, a

                           DELTEC POWER SYSTEMS, INC.
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiskars Holdings, Inc. Annual dividends of $1,000 per
share are cumulative from the date of issuance and payable on a quarterly basis.
The preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the Company at any time at a
redemption price of $15,000,000 ($10,000 per share) plus unpaid dividends. The
liquidation value of this stock is $10,000 per share. The amount ascribed to the
Class A redeemable preferred stock approximates the historical value of Deltec's
net assets at the date of issuance. On December 29, 1995, DPSI redeemed 600
shares of its Class A preferred stock for $6,000,000.
 
     On September 27, 1994, the Company also issued 600 shares of common stock
and a $10,000,000 note (discussed in Note 5) to Fiskars in exchange for the
common stock of Fiskars Power Systems Oy Ab. No dividend will be paid or
declared on shares of common stock as long as the Class A redeemable preferred
stock is outstanding. The amount ascribed to the common stock represents the
excess of the $10,000,000 note over the historical value of the net assets of
Power Systems at the date of issuance.
 
NOTE 13 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     On November 17, 1995, Fiskars and Fiskars Holdings, Inc. agreed to sell

          (A) 825,000 shares of Exide's common stock (valued at a fixed price of
     $20 per share under the agreement).
 
          (B) 1,000,000 shares of Exide's Series G convertible preferred stock
     (valued at a fixed price of $20.00 per share under the agreement).
 
          (C) Redemption of all of DPSI's Class A preferred stock owned by
     Fiskars Holdings, Inc. at the Closing Date for $10,000 per share plus

          (D) Repayment of DPSI notes payable and intercompany amounts to
     Fiskars and Fiskars Holdings, Inc.
 
          (E) The balance paid in cash.
 
     To facilitate consummation of the stock purchase agreement as described
above, Exide will issue Senior Subordinated Notes, principal amount of
$100,000,000, due 2006. The Senior Subordinated Notes will be guaranteed,
jointly and severally, by domestic subsidiaries of Exide ("guarantor

           Re: Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 1995
               (the "Stock Purchase Agreement")
 
Gentlemen:
 
     We are parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement under the terms of which
Exide Electronics Group, Inc. ("Buyer") agreed to buy and Fiskars OY AB
("Fiskars") and Fiskars Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") (Fiskars and Holdings are
collectively referred to herein as "Shareholders") agreed to sell all of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of Deltec Power Systems, Inc. ("Company").
This letter agreement may be referred to in other writings as the "Amendment
Agreement." Article 9 of the Stock Purchase Agreement provides that the Closing
of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement would take
place at the offices of the Company at the close of business on January 4, 1996,
or at such other time as we would mutually agree. The Closing did not occur on
January 4, 1996. At Buyer's request, we have agreed to extend the time for
Closing in consideration for amendments to the Stock Purchase Agreement and
certain financial concessions as follows:
 
     1. The introductory paragraph of Article 9 of the Stock Purchase Agreement
is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
 
          "The closing of this transaction (the "Closing") shall take place at
     the offices of the Company, 2727 Kurtz Street, San Diego, California, at
     the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that Buyer closes on
     and is entitled to funding under its secured term and revolving credit
     facility with J.P. Morgan & Co., as agent bank, and its contemplated bond
     financing, with aggregate net available funds of at least $158,500,000
     (collectively, the "Anticipated Financing") or (ii) March 15, 1996. Such
     date is referred to in this Agreement as the "Closing Date." Time is of the
     essence as to the Closing."
 
     2. In the event that the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Stock Purchase Agreement does not occur on or before the close of business on
March 15, 1996 for any reason whatsoever, Buyer shall pay to Shareholders, as a
break-up fee, $5 million, which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately
available funds on the second business day following such date. In the event
payment is not made when due, such amount shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to five percent (5%) in excess of the prime lending rate announced
from time to time by Firstar Bank Milwaukee, N.A. (the "Prime Rate"), which rate
shall change as and when the Prime Rate changes. Such break-up fee shall be paid
to Shareholders in lieu of any other claims or damages Shareholders may have as
a result of Buyer's failure to close such transactions, provided that if Buyer's
failure to close did not result from its inability (notwithstanding its good
faith and reasonable efforts) to obtain the Anticipated Financing, the
Shareholders shall retain their right to bring an action for
<PAGE>   2
specific performance to cause Buyer to close such transactions. Such payment
shall be made to the following account:

</TABLE>
 
     3. In consideration of the agreement of the Shareholders to postpone
Closing as provided in Section 1 hereof, Buyer shall pay the Shareholders the
following amounts:
 
        (a) $1.5 million; and
 
          (b) An amount equal to 12% per annum of $75 million ($24,658 per day)
     from January 19, 1996 until the earliest to occur of the: (i) termination
     of the Stock Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms as amended by
     this Amendment ("Termination"), (ii) Closing or (iii) March 15, 1996; and
 
          (c) An amount equal to interest that would accrue at one percent (1%)
     per annum in excess of the Prime Rate on $82.5 million from January 19,
     1996 until the earliest to occur of: (i) Termination, (ii) Closing or (iii)
     March 15, 1996.
 
     The sum of the amount described in Section 3(a), plus the amounts described
in Sections 3(b) and 3(c) for the period from January 19 through January 31,
1996, shall be paid by Buyer on Friday, February 9, 1996. The amounts accruing
under Sections 3(b) and 3(c) for the period after January 31 and before March 1,
1996 shall be paid on March 1, 1996 and for the period after February 29, 1996
and before Closing or March 15, 1996, as the case may be, shall be paid on the
Closing Date or March 15, 1996, as the case may be. All such payments shall be
made by a wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account described
in Section 2 above. In the event that Buyer obtains bridge financing for the
cash portion of the Purchase Price payable to the Shareholders under the Stock
Purchase Agreement, and the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase
Agreement close on or before February 15, 1996, the Buyer may credit against the
cash Purchase Price payable to Fiskars at the Closing one-half of the amount
paid to the Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.(a) hereof, provided that Buyer
must obtain the consent of Shareholders to any bridge financing that: (i)
contains any warrants, options, stock or other equity exercisable or issuable at
less than market value when exercised or issued and that dilute (or could
dilute) Shareholders' interest in Buyer to an extent unacceptable to
Shareholders, or (ii) is not customary bridge financing obtained from recognized
financial institutions or investment or merchant bankers.
 
     4. Each of the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement hereby waives each
and every one of the conditions precedent to its obligation to proceed with
Closing, provided that the following conditions precedent shall remain in full
force and effect: (i) the condition in Sections 6.2 and 7.2 to deliver the
closing documents specified in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 (with the exception of the
Compliance Certificates described in Sections 9.1(b) and 9.2(c)); and (ii) the
condition that a party may refuse to close if it has been enjoined from Closing
by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action not brought by the party
asserting the condition precedent. None of such waived conditions shall be
asserted by any party as a reason not to close the transactions contemplated by
the Stock Purchase Agreement. In the event Closing occurs, nothing in this
Amendment Agreement shall waive a party's rights to indemnity under Article 8 of
the Stock Purchase Agreement except to the extent of Claims released pursuant to
Section 1 of the Agreement Not to Sue or Interfere of even date herewith among
the parties.
 
     5. [Intentionally left blank].
 
     6. Buyer shall pay and indemnify and hold the Shareholders and the Company
harmless against all reasonable expenses of the Shareholders' accountants, KPMG
Peat Marwick and Price Waterhouse, in providing supplemental financial
information requested by Buyer for the Anticipated Financing.

     7. Buyer agrees to instruct its employees, consultants and agents who may
be dealing with the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to coordination of
technical developments, sales and marketing programs and other matters that the
transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement have not closed and
that all such cooperative efforts should be discontinued until Closing, except
as provided below. Buyer, on the one hand, and Shareholder and Company, on the
other hand, hereby confirm their respective duties to maintain information
received from the Shareholders and Company, on the one hand, and from Buyer, on
the other hand, confidential pursuant to those certain confidentiality
agreements executed and delivered prior to the Stock Purchase Agreement with
respect to all information that has been disclosed to Buyer or to Shareholder
and Company, or to their respective employees, consultants and agents or will be
disclosed to them as part of due diligence or otherwise as part of these
transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Deltec shall continue to
pursue two pending business transactions that involve (i) Deltec manufacturing
and selling certain products to Buyer on a private label basis and (ii) a joint
technical project related to combining Deltec software and Buyer's hardware for
the purpose of designing a product to satisfy a supply contract with 3COM,
provided that any disclosure by Deltec to Buyer of any source code relating to
Deltec's software shall be subject to a special confidentiality agreement
related to such software on terms mutually acceptable to Deltec and Buyer. The
Shareholders shall cause Deltec: (i) to maintain any proprietary information
received from Buyer related to such development project confidential, (ii) not
to use such information without the written consent of Buyer in the event the
transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement do not close, and
(iii) not to pursue (either singly or with others) a supply contract with 3COM
competitive with Buyer for the product(s) that is the subject of the joint
technical project described above. Each of Deltec and Buyer may decide, in its
absolute discretion, to enter into a joint supply arrangement with the other
party for the 3COM product, which supply arrangement will be on reasonable and
customary terms and conditions. In addition, Shareholders and Company
acknowledge and consent that Buyer may continue to discuss the terms and
conditions of post-closing employment arrangements with the senior management of
the Company.
 
     8. Section 2.1 of the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:
 
        (a) Section 2.1.(d) is restated as follows:
 
           "To Fiskars, (i) 825,000 shares of Buyer's Common Stock, valued at a
           fixed price of $20.00 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of Buyer's
           Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (which stock shall have the
           rights, privileges and preferences set forth on Schedule 2.1.(d)
           attached hereto), valued at a fixed price of $20.00 per share;"
 
          (b) The final sentence of Section 2.1 of the Stock Purchase Agreement
     is restated as follows:
 
           "Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 2.1, the
           aggregate cash consideration to be paid by Buyer for the Shares
           pursuant to this Agreement shall not, except as set forth in Section
           2.3.(d) and 8.2, exceed $158,500,000. In addition to the Purchase
           Price for the Shares, Buyer shall pay to Fiskars at the Closing, by
           wire transfer of immediately available funds, the sum of $1,000,000
           as reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by the Shareholders in
           connection with the negotiation, due diligence investigation and
           closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement."
 
     9. Section 10.1. of the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to read
in its entirety as follows:
 
          "10.1. Right of Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any
     time prior to the Closing:
 
             10.1.(a) By mutual written agreement of Buyer and Shareholders, or
 
             10.1.(b) By Shareholders if the Closing shall not have occurred on
        or before the close of business on March 15, 1996 provided that, on such
        date, Shareholders tendered or were prepared to tender the documents
        described in Section 9.1 of this Agreement other than the compliance
        certificate described in Section 9.1.(b) ("Shareholders' Tender of
        Closing to Buyer") and Buyer refused to close, or
 
             10.1.(c) By Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred on or
        before the close of business on April 15, 1996, provided that, on such
        date, Buyer tendered or was prepared to tender the payments
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   4
 
        and documents described in Section 9.2 of this Agreement and the
        Amendment Agreement other than the compliance certificate described in
        Section 9.2.(c) ("Buyer's Tender of Closing to Shareholders") and
        Shareholders refused to close."
 
     10. Section 10.2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby restated as
follows:
 
          "10.2. Termination for Breach.  Except as provided in 10.1.(a) above,
     neither Buyer nor the Shareholders may terminate this Agreement prior to
     March 15, 1996, provided that Shareholders may terminate the Agreement by
     written notice to Buyer, if Buyer shall have failed to make any payment to
     Shareholders required by Section 3 of that certain Amendment Agreement,
     dated February 9, 1996, or Buyer shall have failed to satisfy its
     obligation in Section 12 of such agreement, and such failure shall be
     continuing on the date of Termination."
 
     11. Section 1.1.(a) of that certain Stockholder Agreement that is attached
to the Stock Purchase Agreement as Schedule 9.1.(f) shall be amended to delete
the third sentence thereof and insert the following in lieu thereof:
 
          "The rights of Stockholder set forth herein will be limited to one
     Stockholder Representative at any time that the number of shares of Company
     Common Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholder, when combined with the
     number of shares of Company Common Stock that could be obtained upon
     conversion of the Company Series G Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially
     owned by Stockholder (such combined number defined as the "Imputed Common
     Stock Ownership"), equals less than ten percent (10%) of the Company Common
     Stock that would be outstanding upon such conversion without taking into
     consideration any warrants, options, stock or other equity issued in
     connection with the Anticipated Financing (as defined in Article 9 of the
     Purchase Agreement, as amended) except for Company Common Stock issued
     pursuant to warrants, options or other rights exercisable at a price at
     least equal to the market value of such Common Stock on the date of
     exercise (the "Financing Equity"), and the Stockholder shall have no right
     to a Stockholder Representative at any time that its Imputed Common Stock
     Ownership is less than five percent (5%) of the Company Common Stock that
     would be outstanding upon conversion of the Series G Convertible Preferred
     Stock beneficially owned by Stockholder without taking into consideration
     the Financing Equity; provided, however, that the ownership of the
     Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock by an entity controlling,
     controlled by or under common control with the Stockholder with the prior
     consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
     and which has agreed in a writing delivered to the Company to be obligated
     as the Stockholder hereunder (in the case of ownership of Common Stock),
     shall be attributed to the Stockholder for purposes of this 1.1.(a). The
     initial Stockholder Representatives shall be Stig Stendahl and Ralf Boer."
 
     12. Buyer agrees to deliver to the Shareholders on or before Thursday,
February 15, 1996, a written commitment from J. P. Morgan & Co. to extend its
financial commitments to Buyer to finance the transactions contemplated by the
Stock Purchase Agreement until March 15, 1996.
 
     Except as expressly amended by this letter agreement or the Agreement Not
to Sue or Interfere of even date herewith among the parties, all other terms and
conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement remain in full force and effect
without amendment or modification. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings given them in the Stock Purchase Agreement. This letter
agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Facsimile copies of this letter agreement that contain signatures
shall be deemed to be original signed versions for purposes of this letter

                                     OF THE
                            SERIES G PREFERRED STOCK
                                       OF
                         EXIDE ELECTRONICS GROUP, INC.
 
                       PURSUANT TO SECTION 151(G) OF THE
                GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
 
     The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly
adopted on                               , 1996, by the Board of Directors (the
"Board") of EXIDE ELECTRONICS GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Corporation"), acting pursuant to the authority granted to the Board in
accordance with provisions of Section 151(g) of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, at a duly convened meeting of the Board at which a quorum
was present and acted throughout.
 
     RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to the Board by
the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the
"Certificate of Incorporation"), there is hereby created a Series G Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, which shall consist of 1,000,000
shares of serial preferred stock (hereinafter called the "Series G Preferred
Stock"). The Series G Preferred Stock shall have the following powers,
designations, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special
rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions (in addition to the
powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating optional and other
special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set
forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, which may be applicable to the serial
preferred stock) as follows:
 
A. DIVIDENDS
 
     1. Cumulative.  The holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock
(hereinafter called the "Holders") shall be entitled to receive, out of any
assets at the time legally available therefor, cash dividends at the rate of:
(i) eighty cents ($0.80) per share per annum, and no more, through March 31,
2001, and (ii) thereafter at a rate of one dollar twenty cents ($1.20) per
share, and no more. Dividends shall be payable in cash quarterly, in arrears,
commencing on June 30, 1996, and thereafter on the last business day of March,
June, September and December of each year that any Series G Preferred Stock
shall be outstanding. Such dividends are prior and in preference to any
declaration or payment of any distribution (as defined below) on the common
stock of the Corporation (the "Common Stock"), and shall be prior and in
preference to any declaration or payment of any distribution on any other
preferred stock of the Corporation unless such stock is expressly senior to the
Series G Preferred Stock after written consent of Holders, which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld. Such dividends shall accrue on each share of
Series G Preferred Stock from day to day from the date of initial issuance
thereof whether or not earned, declared, or paid, and whether or not funds are
legally available therefor, so that if such dividends with respect to any
previous dividend period at the rate provided for herein have not been paid on,
or declared and set apart for, all shares of Series G Preferred Stock at the
time outstanding, the deficiency shall be fully paid on, or declared and set
apart for, such shares before any distribution shall be paid on, or declared and
set apart for Common Stock or any other series of preferred stock except as
aforesaid.
 
     2. All cash dividends shall be paid by the Corporation to the Holders
except to the extent (but only to the extent) a payment would cause the
Corporation to violate any covenant or condition under any of its credit or debt
financing agreements. In the event any part or all of a dividend payment will
cause such violation, the Corporation will use reasonable and good faith efforts
to obtain waivers of compliance with its debt covenants for the purpose of such
dividend and will so notify the Holders; provided, that such efforts shall not
require the Corporation to incur additional expenses, except for reasonable
legal expenses related to preparing such waivers.
<PAGE>   8
 
     3. The Corporation shall pay all cash dividends by certified bank check or
wire transfer.
 
     4. For purposes of this Section (A), unless the context otherwise requires,
"distribution" shall mean the transfer of cash or property without
consideration, whether by way of dividend or otherwise, or the purchase or
redemption of shares of the Corporation (other than repurchases of Common Stock
held by directors, employees or consultants of the Corporation upon termination
of their directorship, employment or services pursuant to agreements providing
for such repurchase, which agreements were either in effect prior to the Closing
Date or in forms which are customary and reasonable based on similar industry or
Corporation standards) for cash or property, including any such transfer,
purchase or redemption by a subsidiary of the Corporation.
 
B. PREFERENCE ON LIQUIDATION
 
     1. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, the Holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock
then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from
capital, surplus or earnings, before any payment shall be made in respect of the
Common Stock (and before payment with respect to any other series of preferred
stock then in existence and outstanding which is not expressly senior to the
Series G Preferred Stock as permitted by Section (A)), if any, an amount equal
to Twenty Dollars ($20) per share of Series G Preferred Stock, plus all accrued
and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for distribution. After setting
apart or paying in full the preferential amounts due to the Holders, the
remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders,
if any, shall be distributed exclusively to the holders of Common Stock, each
such issued and outstanding share of Common Stock entitling the holder thereof
to receive an equal proportion of said remaining assets, unless the rights,
preferences or privileges of another series of preferred stock then in existence
and outstanding has priority over the Common Stock, in which case the holders of
such preferred stock would be entitled to receive assets prior to the receipt by
holders of the Common Stock as mandated by the terms of such preferred stock
issue. If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,
the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders
shall be insufficient to pay the Holders the full amount to which they shall be
entitled, the Holders shall share ratably in any distribution of assets
according to the respective amounts which would be payable in respect of the
shares of Series G Preferred Stock held by them upon such distribution if all
amounts payable on or with respect to said shares were paid in full.
 
     2. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall, within ten (10) days after
the date the Board of Directors approves such action, or twenty (20) days prior
to any stockholders' meeting called to approve such action, or twenty (20) days
after the commencement of any involuntary proceeding, whichever is earlier, give
each Holder initial written notice of the proposed action by airmail or other
express delivery service. Such initial written notice shall describe the
material terms and conditions of such proposed action, including a description
of the stock, cash and property to be received by the Holders upon consummation
of the proposed action and the date of delivery thereof. If any material change
in the facts set forth in the initial notice shall occur, the Corporation shall
promptly give written notice by airmail or other express delivery service to
each Holder of such material change.
 
     3. The Corporation shall not consummate any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation before the expiration
of thirty (30) days after the mailing by airmail or other express delivery
service of the initial notice or ten (10) days after the mailing by airmail or
other express delivery service of any subsequent written notice, whichever is
later; provided that any such 30-day or 10-day period may be shortened upon the
written consent of the Holders of all of the outstanding shares of Series G
Preferred Stock.
 
     4. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation which will involve the distribution of assets
other than cash, the Corporation shall promptly engage competent independent
appraisers to determine the value of the assets to be distributed to the
Holders, the holders of shares of other series of preferred stock then in
existence and outstanding, if any, and the holders of shares of Common Stock (it
being understood that with respect to the valuation of securities, the
Corporation shall
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   9
 
engage such appraiser as shall be approved by the Holders of a majority of
outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld). The Corporation shall, upon receipt of such appraiser's
valuation, give prompt written notice to each Holder of the appraiser's
valuation.
 
C. VOTING
 
     Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the shares of
Series G Preferred Stock shall be voted in accordance with any stockholder
agreement then in effect between the Corporation and the Holder, and if no
stockholder agreement is then in effect, such shares shall be voted in the
manner the Holders deem appropriate; in each case as if it were Common Stock.
Subject to the terms of any stockholders agreement in effect, each Holder shall
be entitled to such number of votes for the Series G Preferred Stock held by the
Holder on the record date fixed for such meeting, or on the effective date of
such written consent, as shall be equal to the largest number of whole shares of
the Corporation's Common Stock into which all of the Holder's shares of Series G
Preferred Stock are convertible immediately after the close of business on the
record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written
consent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holders shall be
entitled to vote as a separate class for any changes in the rights and
privileges of the Series G Preferred Stock.
 
D. CONVERSION RIGHTS
 
     Each share of Series G Preferred Stock shall be convertible at any time
into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation at
the option of the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock into which each
share of the Series G Preferred Stock may be converted shall be determined by
dividing the Original Purchase Price by the Series G Conversion Price
(determined as hereinafter provided) in effect at the time of the conversion.
The Original Purchase Price of the Series G Preferred Stock is $20 per share.
Subject to adjustment of the Series G Conversion Price pursuant to Section (E),
the Series G Preferred Stock shall be convertible on a share-for-share basis
into the Corporation's Common Stock.
 
     1. The Series G Conversion Price per share at which shares of Common Stock
shall be initially issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series G Preferred
Stock shall be twenty dollars ($20).
 
     2. The Holder may exercise the conversion rights as to all shares of Series
G Preferred Stock owned by the Holder or any part thereof by delivering to the
Corporation during regular business hours, at the office of any transfer agent
of the Corporation for the Series G Preferred Stock, or at the principal office
of the Corporation or at such other place as may be designated by the
Corporation, the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted,
duly endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (if required by it), accompanied
by written notice stating that the Holder elects to convert such shares.
 
     3. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such
delivery is made or to be made, and such date is referred to herein as the
"Conversion Date". As promptly as practicable after delivery of the certificates
representing Series G Preferred Stock to be converted the Corporation shall
issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such Holder, at such office or
other place designated by the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the
number of full shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled and a
check for cash with respect to any fractional interest in a share of Common
Stock as provided in subparagraph (4) of this Section (D). The Holder shall be
deemed to have become the holder of record of the Common Stock on the applicable
Conversion Date unless the transfer books of the Corporation are closed on the
date, in which event it shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of
the Common Stock on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are
open, but the Series G Conversion Price shall be that in effect on the
Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of
Series G Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for
conversion, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order
of the Holder, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate covering the
number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock representing the unconverted
portion of the certificate so surrendered.
 
     4. No fractional shares of Common Stock or script shall be issued upon
conversion of shares of Series G Preferred Stock. If more than one share of
Series G Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   10
 
one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number
of shares of Series G Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional
shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any
shares of Series G Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment
in respect of such fractional interest equal to the fair market value of such
fractional interest as determined by the Corporation's Board of Directors.
 
     5. At the time the Corporation delivers shares of Common Stock to the
Holder, the Corporation shall pay to the Holder the unpaid dividends on the
converted Series G Preferred Stock accrued through the Conversion Date.
 
     6. The Corporation shall pay any and all United States issue and other
taxes (other than taxes with respect to income, gain or receipts) that may be
payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on
conversion of Series G Preferred Stock pursuant thereto. The Corporation shall
not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name
other than that in which the Series G Preferred Stock so converted were
registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the
person requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such
tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax
has been paid.
 
     7. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of
its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting
the conversion of Series G Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all Series G Preferred Stock from time
to time outstanding. The Corporation shall from time to time (subject to
obtaining necessary director and stockholder action), in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware, increase the authorized amount of its Common
Stock remaining unissued to an amount that is sufficient to permit the
conversion of all of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock at the time
outstanding.
 
     8. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the
shares of Series G Preferred Stock will upon issuance by the Corporation be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
 
E. ADJUSTMENT OF SERIES G CONVERSION PRICE
 
     The Series G Conversion Price from time to time in effect shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
          1. Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations.
 
          In case the Corporation shall at any time subdivide the outstanding
     shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock dividend on its outstanding
     Common Stock, the Series G Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
     such subdivision or the issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately
     decreased, and in case the Corporation shall at any time combine the
     outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Series G Conversion Price in effect
     immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased,
     effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision,
     dividend or combination, as the case may be.
 
          2. Non-Cash Dividends, Stock Purchase Rights, Capital Reorganizations
     and Dissolutions.
 
          In case:
 
             a. the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common
        Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend, or any
        other distribution, payable otherwise than in cash; or
 
             b. the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common
        Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase any
        shares of stock of any class or to receive any other rights; or
 
                                        4

             c. of any capital reorganization of the Corporation,
        reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation (other than a
        subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock),
        consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another
        corporation or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of
        the Corporation to another corporation; or
 
             d. of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
        winding up of the Corporation;
 
     then, and in any such case, the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to the
     transfer agent for the Series G Preferred Stock and to the Holders of
     record, at least ten (10) days prior to the date hereinafter specified, a
     notice stating the date on which (x) a record is to be taken for the
     purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y) such
     reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
     dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if
     any is to be fixed, as of which holders of Common Stock of record shall be
     entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other
     property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization,
     consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
 
          3. In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution payable
     in securities of other persons or evidences of indebtedness issued by other
     persons, then, in each such case, the Holders shall be entitled to the
     distributions at the rate provided for in Section (A) above before any
     distribution shall be made to the holders of Common Stock, and no
     adjustment to the Series G Conversion Price provided for in this Section
     (E) shall be applicable.
 
          4. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
     Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of
     assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or
     any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
     performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by
     the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying
     out of all of the provisions of this Section (E) and in the taking of all
     such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
     conversion rights of the Holders. In any such event, the Series G
     Conversion Price shall be equitably adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the
     effect on the Series G Preferred Stock and the Corporation's Common Stock
     from any such events.
 
          5. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the
     Series G Conversion Price pursuant to this Section (E), the Corporation at
     its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in
     accordance with the terms hereof, and prepare and furnish to each Holder
     affected thereby a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
     readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
     readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at
     any time of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a
     like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment or readjustment, (B) the
     Series G Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (C) the number of
     shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at
     the time would be received upon the conversion of its shares.
 
          6. Any shares of Series G Preferred Stock that are converted shall
     resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Series G Preferred
     Stock.
 
          7. So long as any shares of Series G Preferred Stock are outstanding,
     the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval by vote or
     written consent, in the manner provided by law, of the Holders of at least
     fifty-one percent (51%) of the total number of shares of Series G Preferred
     Stock outstanding, voting separately as a class, (a) reduce or eliminate
     any or all of the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted
     to or imposed upon the Series G Preferred Stock or increase or decrease the
     authorized number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock; or (b) amend the
     provisions of this paragraph (7); provided, however, that the Corporation
     may, with the Holders' written consent, which consent will not be
            , create new class or series of shares of preferred stock senior to
     or on a parity with the Series G Preferred Stock as to voting rights,
     dividends or a distribution of assets of the Corporation in liquidation.

F. REDEMPTION
 
     1. Optional Redemption: Corporation.
 
     At any time after March 31, 1996, if the Market Price, as defined below, of
the Corporation's Common Stock has exceeded $28 for thirty (30) consecutive
trading days ended within five (5) trading days prior to the date of the
Corporation's Call Notice, as defined below, the Corporation may redeem any
number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock then outstanding at the following
redemption prices per share:
 
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                             CALL REDEMPTION DATE                            PRICE PER SHARE
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------  ---------------
    <S>                                                                      <C>
    March 31, 1996 - March 30, 1997........................................        $20
    March 31, 1997 - March 30, 1998........................................         26
    March 31, 1998 and thereafter..........................................         24
</TABLE>
 
plus an amount equal to any accrued, but unpaid dividends thereon through the
Call Redemption Date (such price per share plus the amount of such dividends the
"Call Redemption Price"); provided, however, that until the Call Redemption
Date, as defined below, the Holders shall have the option to exercise their
conversion right pursuant to Section (D) hereof, and in the event and to the
extent that such conversion right is exercised, the Corporation's Call Notice
shall be ineffective and not apply to the number of shares of Series G Preferred
Stock that are subject to such conversion. For purposes of this Certificate,
"Market Price" shall mean the closing price of the Corporation's Common Stock as
quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System (or if the Corporation's Common
Stock is no longer listed on NASDAQ, as quoted on such other national exchange
on which the Common Stock is then traded).
 
     If on any redemption date specified by the Corporation pursuant to this
paragraph 1 (hereinafter, the "Call Redemption Date"), more shares of Series G
Preferred Stock are outstanding than the Corporation has called for redemption,
the Corporation shall redeem shares of Series G Preferred Stock pro rata based
upon the number of outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock then owned by
each Holder.
 
          (i) Notice of Redemption.
 
          The Corporation shall specify a Call Redemption Date in a written
     notice, which shall be sent by air mail or other express delivery service,
     postage prepaid, to the Holders at least thirty (30) days prior to such
     Call Redemption Date (the "Call Notice"). The Call Notice shall be
     addressed to each Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the
     books of the Corporation or given by such Holder to the Corporation for the
     purpose of notice, or if no such address appears or is so given, at the
     place where the principal office of the Corporation is located. In addition
     to the Call Redemption Date, the notice shall state the Call Redemption
     Price, the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock of such Holder to
     be redeemed and shall call upon such Holder to surrender to the Corporation
     on the Call Redemption Date at the place designated in the notice such
     Holder's certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series G
     Preferred Stock to be redeemed. Upon receipt of the Call Notice by a Holder
     and at any time prior to the applicable Call Redemption Date, the Holder
     may convert all or any shares of Series G Preferred Stock then owned by the
     Holder, following which only the Holder's shares of Series G Preferred
     Stock which have not been so converted may be redeemed by the Corporation.
 
     On the applicable Call Redemption Date, the Holder or Holders shall
surrender to the Corporation at a place designated by the Corporation a
certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series G Preferred Stock
to be redeemed (the "Redeemed Shares"). Upon surrender of such certificate or
certificates, the Corporation shall transmit payment in full for each Holder's
Redeemed Shares in the manner in which cash dividends are paid hereunder.
 
     2. Optional Redemption: Holder.
 
     Any Holder may, at any time after September 30, 2006 require the
Corporation to repurchase and redeem all or any part of the Holder's shares of
Series G Preferred Stock (each Holder requesting such repurchase and redemption,
a "Requesting Holder").
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   13
 
     The redemption price per share of Series G Preferred Stock shall be
twenty-four dollars ($24) per share plus an amount equal to any accrued, but
unpaid dividends thereon through the Holder Redemption Date (the "Holder
Redemption Price").
 
          (i) Notice of Redemption.
 
          Each Requesting Holder who desires to have Series G Preferred Stock
     owned of record by such Requesting Holder redeemed by the Corporation shall
     so specify in a written notice to the Corporation (the "Holder Redemption
     Notice"). A Holder Redemption Notice shall be sent to the Corporation at
     its principal place of business by air mail or other express delivery
     service, postage prepaid and within thirty (30) days from receipt thereof
     the Corporation shall set a closing date for redemption of the Requesting
     Holder's shares (the "Holder Redemption Date"). Further, upon receipt of
     the Holder Redemption Notice, the Corporation shall promptly notify all
     other Holders of the redemption request of a Requesting Holder and of the
     applicable Holder Redemption Date (the "Corporation Notice"). If any other
     Holders (collectively, the "Other Holders" ) desire the Corporation to
     redeem all or any portion of the Series G Stock owned of record by the
     Other Holders, each Other Holder shall send a Holder Redemption Notice to
     the Corporation within ten (10) days after receipt of the Corporation
     Notice.
 
     On the applicable Holder Redemption Date, the Requesting Holder and, if
applicable, the Other Holders shall surrender to the Corporation at a place
designated by the Corporation a certificate or certificates representing the
shares of Series G Preferred Stock to be redeemed (the "Redeemed Shares"). Upon
surrender of such certificate or certificates, the Corporation shall transmit
payment in full for the Redeemed Shares in the manner in which cash dividends
are paid.
 
     The Call Redemption Date and the Holder Redemption Date are hereinafter
called collectively the "Redemption Date" and the Call Redemption Price and the
Holder Redemption Price are hereinafter called collectively the "Redemption
Price".
 
     Notwithstanding any provisions set forth in this Section (F), the
Corporation shall not redeem any shares of Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to
paragraph 1 of this Section (F) unless the Corporation (i) is in compliance with
all its debt covenants set forth in any and all credit and debt financing
agreements the Corporation is a party to, or (ii) obtained a waiver of its
compliance with any debt covenant which prevents the Corporation from redeeming
shares of Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Section (F).
Furthermore, the Corporation shall redeem any shares of Series G Preferred Stock
pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Section (F) except to the extent (but only to
the extent) a redemption of shares would cause the Corporation to violate any
covenant or condition under any of its credit or debt financing agreements. In
the event a redemption of any number of shares under Paragraph 2 of this Section
(F) will cause such violation, the Corporation will use reasonable and good
faith efforts to obtain waivers of compliance with its debt covenants for the
purpose of such redemption and will so notify the Holders.
 
     4. Termination of Rights After Redemption.
 
     From and after the Redemption Date (unless default shall be made by the
Corporation in duly paying the Redemption Price, in which case all the rights of
the Holders of Redeemed Shares shall continue) the Holders of the Redeemed
Shares shall cease to have any rights as Holders of such Redeemed Shares except
the right to receive, without interest, the Redemption Price thereof upon
surrender of certificates representing the shares of Series G Preferred Stock,
and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred (except with the consent of
the Corporation) on the books of the Corporation and shall not be deemed
outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. Any money deposited for payments of the
Redemption Price which is unclaimed by a
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   14
 
Holder for two (2) years after the Redemption Date, as of the case may be,
thereof shall be returned to the Corporation.
 
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate to be
executed by                               , its                               ,
