Notes To the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation:
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by Power Designs, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management
of the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto. In the opinion
of the management of the Company, the condensed consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to fairly present the results for the interim periods to
which these financial statements relate.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The consolidated statements of operations for the periods ended March 31, 1997
include the operations of PDIXF Acquisition Corporation (see Note 2) for the
period October 11, 1996 through March 31, 1997.
Note 2 - Significant Events:
On October 11, 1996, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, PDIXF Acquisition
Corporation ("PAC"), acquired (the "Acquisition"), for approximately $4.4
million, assets of Technipower, Inc. and Constant Power, Inc., two divisions of
Penril Datacomm Networks, Inc. ("Penril"), encompassing three product lines.
Additionally, the Company repaid loans, notes payable and obligations to
creditors totaling approximately $1,490,000 that existed as of October 11, 1996.
The Company also incurred approximately $260,000 in costs (financing and
organizational) related to the Acquisition.

==========
The Company defaulted on the $2,750,000 note (the "Penril Indebtedness")
secured by the majority of the Company's assets, due to Penril at December 31,
1996. As a result of the default, the Company was in breach of its asset
purchase agreement with Penril (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") executed
pursuant to the Acquisition. As of this date, the Company and Penril have
entered into the Forbearance Agreement (as defined below) providing for an
extension of time for repayment of the Penril Indebtedness. The Forbearance
Agreement required the Company to make payments totaling $200,000 prior to March
31, 1997, and thereafter to make payments in accordance with the following
schedule:
April 7, 1997 $50,000
April 14, 1997 $500,000
April 21, 1997 $50,000
April 28, 1997 $50,000
April 30, 1997 $450,000
May 5, 1997 $50,000
May 12, 1997 $50,000
May 19, 1997 $50,000
May 30, 1997 $300,000
July 31, 1997 $1,000,000

<PAGE>
Penril subsequently agreed to permit the Company to make payments of $100,000,
$50,000, $75,000 and $75,000 on May 30, 1997, June 4, 1997, June 10, 1997 and
June 20, 1997, respectively, in lieu of the $300,000 payment due on May 30,
1997. As of June 10, 1997, the Company was current on its obligations under the
terms of the Forbearance Agreement, as modified.
The Company is seeking to raise equity financing to provide the funds needed to
repay the balance of the Penril Indebtedness. The Company is simultaneously
working to arrange necessary bridge financing. As of June 10, 1997, the Company
had raised $1,953,500 of bridge financing through a private offering (the
"Offering") of units ("Units"), each Unit consisting of (i) one 10% subordinated
promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 (the principal balance and
accrued interest of which are due and payable on the earlier of 12 months after
the closing of the Offering or upon the closing of any financing which provides
the Company with a minimum of $5,000,000 of gross proceeds) and (ii) one
five-year warrant ("Warrant") to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock, par
value $.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company at an initial exercise
price per share equal to $.25 (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
certain events and without giving effect to a contemplated reverse stock split
which will adjust the Warrants included in each Unit); provided, however, that
in no event shall the Warrants be exercisable, after adjustment, for less than
10,000 shares of Common Stock or at an exercise price per share greater than
$1.00. The Units were offered at a price of $100,000 per Unit.
Note 3 - Subsequent Events:
During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company made an election to
reallocate the $4,430,000 purchase price paid to Penril pursuant to the
Acquisition among the assets stated on its opening balance sheet. The October
11, 1996 carrying value of work in process and finished goods inventories have
been reduced by $619,090 and $329,682, respectively, while goodwill has been
increased by the same amounts. This $948,772 realignment in asset values,
created by the technological volatility in the product market, more closely
approximates management's estimation of the market value of its inventories, as
well as the value of goodwill purchased on the date of acquisition.
Intangible assets are stated at cost and are amortized using the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives. During the quarter ended March 31,
1997, the Company made an election to reduce the estimated useful life of
goodwill from 40 years to 15 years. It is management's estimation that this
useful life more closely approximates the duration of this asset's benefit. With
respect to this asset, year-to-date amortization expense through March 31, 1997
is shown at $89,276, rather than the $33,479 which would result from a 40 year
useful life.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results
of Operations.
Current Developments
On October 11, 1996, the Company, through PAC, completed the Acquisition
pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement,
10
<PAGE>
the Company acquired assets of Penril related to the manufacture of three
product lines (the "Business").
Total consideration to Penril consisted of $1,586,085 in cash, a
$2,750,000 note issued to Penril by PAC representing the Penril Indebtedness, a
royalty equity equal to 2% of the Business' gross sales during the period from
July 1, 1997 through June 30, 2001, and various assumed liabilities valued at
approximately $632,600. The Penril Indebtedness bears annual interest of 2%
above prime rate, and was originally due December 31, 1996. The principal amount
of the Penril Indebtedness was not repaid when due, thereby placing the Company
in default. On March 10, 1997 the Company and Penril executed the Forbearance
Agreement, which is described in further detail below at Part II - Item 3
"Defaults Upon Senior Securities."
As discussed in more detail in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below,
funds for the Acquisition were obtained through additional financing.
In addition, in early 1995, the Company's shareholders approved a
resolution calling for the reincorporation of the Company under Delaware law, by
merging the Company into a Delaware corporation also named Power Designs, Inc.
The merger remains unexecuted pending approval by the New York State Department
of State, Division of Corporations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
On October 11, 1996, the Company obtained outside financing totaling
approximately $6.2 million in connection with the Acquisition. The financing
consisted of three primary components: a private placement of debt and equity
securities for $1,087,000 to six individuals and a limited partnership; a note
payable to Inverness Corporation in the amount of $2,290,000; and a note payable
to Penril of $2.75 million representing the Penril Indebtedness, originally due
on December 31, 1996. The Company defaulted on the Penril Indebtedness and
thereafter entered into the Forbearance Agreement pursuant to which it is
repaying the Penril Indebtedness. See Part II - Item 3, "Defaults Upon Senior
Securities."
In addition, when the Company emerged from bankruptcy in June 1994 it
entered into a plan of reorganization that required payments to pre-bankruptcy
creditors of approximately $59,000 per year through fiscal 1997 and $49,000 from
then through fiscal 2000. The Company is continuing to make these payments.
Because of the completed Acquisition, the Company hopes to be able to
supply a greater percentage of its working capital needs through operating cash
flow during the 1997 fiscal year. Nevertheless, the Company has also undertaken
the Offering, pursuant to which the Company had raised $1,953,500 as of June 10,
1997.
The remaining capital necessary for operating purposes and capital
investment is anticipated to be supplied by financings secured by the Company's
receivables and additional loans and equity financings.
The Company currently has a deficit in shareholders' equity, meaning that
amounts owned to its creditors, including, without limitation, Inverness and
Penril, exceed the value of its assets. As of the end of the reporting period,
the Company has no plans beyond the above to remedy the deficit in shareholders'
equity.
11
<PAGE>
Results of Operations.
Results for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 reflect the Acquisition,
and therefore represent a substantial change from the figures for the same
period in 1996. Accordingly, a period-to-period comparison of the historical
results of operations and financial condition of the Company is not meaningful.
Further, a period-to-period comparison of the pro forma results of operations
and financial condition of the Company is not meaningful.
First nine months of fiscal 1997 versus first nine months of fiscal 1996.
Net sales exceeded $1 million for the quarter ended March 31, a figure
almost equaling the $1.2 million recorded for the prior two quarters combined.
The nine-month total thus came to $2.4 million, as compared with $426,564 for
the same period in 1996.
Nevertheless, gross profit decreased from $40,134 for the third quarter of
1996 to $10,076 for the current quarter, keeping 1997's year-to-date gross
profits to $262,612 -- an increase of only 66% over 1996's $158,088, despite the
sales increases. Cumulative net loss for 1997 rose to $3.0 million, of which the
third quarter accounted for $1.5 million. Selling, general and administrative
expenses remain high in relation to cumulative net sales, but nevertheless
reflect the Company's expected cost levels for the nine-month period.
Furthermore, the interim statements reflect the Company's assumption in the
Acquisition of accounts payable and other liabilities totaling over $1.4
million, $2.5 million of the $2.75 million Penril Indebtedness, and an increase
in trade payables and accrued liabilities of $1.6 million. These
acquisition-related costs, in combination with the cumulative net loss, have
thus increased stockholders' deficit to approximately $3.9 million from
$801,653.
As disclosed above at "Current Developments," the Company has conducted
the Offering. Simultaneously, the Company is planning an equity financing, which
it is hoped will provide the necessary funds for payment of liabilities and for
capital needs.
Statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Operations" and elsewhere in this document as well as statements made in press
releases and oral statements that may be made by the Company or by officers,
directors or employees of the Company acting on the Company's behalf that are
not statements of historical or current fact constitute "forward- looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results of the
Company to be materially different from the historical results or from any
future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In
addition to statements which explicitly describe such risks and uncertainties,
readers are urged to consider statements labeled with the terms "believes",
"belief", "expects", "intends", "anticipates" or "plans" to be uncertain and
forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained herein are also
subject generally to other risks and uncertainties that are described from time
to time in the Company's reports and registration statements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
12
<PAGE>
Statements regarding future effects of the Acquisition, the future
adequacy of the Company's working capital, its ability to raise capital through
debt or equity offerings and its ability to maintain or improve its present cash
flow, are examples of such forward looking statements. Such forward looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance. There remain substantial
risks that the Company will be unable to obtain adequate financing to improve
its performance and achieve its business goals.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
On December 31, 1996 the principal amount of the Penril Indebtedness
described at Part I, Item 2 above was not paid in full, thereby placing the
Company in default. On March 10, 1997 the Company and Penril executed a
forbearance agreement, which required the Company to make payments of $50,000
per week totaling $200,000 prior to March 31, 1997, a payment of $500,000 on or
before April 14, 1997, and a balloon payment equal to the remainder due on or
before May 31, 1997. All payments required under such forbearance agreement
prior to April 29, 1997 were made in full.
On April 29, 1997, the Company and Penril entered into a modification
agreement (together with the above-referenced forbearance agreement, the
"Forbearance Agreement"), which created a new payment schedule for the remainder
of the Penril Indebtedness. The Forbearance Agreement requires the Company to
pay Penril $450,000 on April 30, 1997, $50,000 on each of May 5, May 12, and May
19, 1997, $300,000 on May 30, 1997, and the remainder of the Penril Indebtedness
due on July 31, 1997.
Penril subsequently agreed to permit the Company to make payments of
$100,000, $50,000, $75,000 and $75,000 on May 30, 1997, June 4, 1997, June 10,
1997 and June 20, 1997, respectively, in lieu of the $300,000 payment due on May
30, 1997. As of June 10, 1997, the Company was current on its obligations under
the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, as modified.
The Company anticipates that it will be able to make all remaining
required payments under the Forbearance Agreement. However, there can be no
assurances that the Company will, in fact, able to make such payments, and there
remains some risk of the Company's failure to do so.
