POWER DESIGNS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 applicable to a
going concern. These rules assume that assets will be realized and liabilities
will be discharged in the normal course of business. The Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") on January 22, 1998 (the "Filing").
The Debtors are presently operating their business as debtors-in-possession
subject to the jurisdiction of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Bridgeport District of Connecticut (the "Bankruptcy Court").
Certain information and footnote disclosure 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 months ended September 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The consolidated statements of operations for the periods ended September 30,
1999 and September 30, 1998 include the operations of PDIXF Acquisition
Corporation for these same periods respectively.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's financial
statements to conform to classifications used in the current period.
NOTE 2. - PETITION FOR RELIEF UNDER CHAPTER 11
In the Chapter 11 case, substantially all liabilities as of the date of the
Filing are subject to resolution under a plan of reorganization to be voted upon
by the Debtors' creditors and stockholders and confirmed by the Bankruptcy
Court. Schedules have been filed by the Debtors with the Bankruptcy Court
setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Debtors as of the Filing as
shown by the Debtors' accounting records. Differences between amounts shown by
the Debtors and claims filed by creditors will be investigated and reconciled.
The amount and settlement terms for such disputed liabilities are subject
9
<PAGE>
to allowance by the Bankruptcy Court. Ultimately the adjustment of the total
liabilities of the Debtors remains subject to a Bankruptcy Court approved plan
of reorganization, and, accordingly, the amount of such liabilities is not
presently determinable.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may elect to assume or reject real estate
leases, employment contracts, personal property leases, service contracts and
other executory pre-petition contracts, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.
The Debtors continue to review leases and contracts, as well as other
operational changes, and cannot presently determine or reasonably estimate the
ultimate outcome of, or liability resulting from, this review. Claims secured
against the Debtors' assets ("secured claims") also are stayed, although the
holders of such claims have the right to move the Court for relief from the
stay. Secured claims are secured primarily by liens on the Debtor's machinery,
equipment and accounts receivable.
NOTE 3. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE
Liabilities subject to compromise are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Notes payable - affiliated companies $ 7,015,553 (a)
Notes payable - preferred shareholders 1,087,415 (a)
Notes payable - seller of assets acquired 990,000 (a)
Notes payable - others 2,266,500
Accounts payable 2,394,099
Accrued expenses 369,638
Accrued interest 2,891,984
Capital lease obligation 142,872 (a)
Payables related to 1994 reorganization including
accrued interest 188,586
--------------
Total $ 17,346,647
</TABLE>
(a) Notes payable to affiliated companies, preferred shareholders and seller of
assets acquired, as well as capital lease obligations, include secured
debt, which should be considered, due to various factors, subject to
compromise. The Amended Plan of Reorganization filed November 24, 1999
provides for the continuance of allowed secured claims of $1,800,000
against outstanding secured notes of $9,092,968. As a result of this
compromise, the Debtor has accrued interest on these, as well as other
obligations through June 30, 1999. Additional interest in the amount of
$376,616 on these secured obligations was accrued for the three months
ended September 30, 1999. Refer to Note 5, for a discussion of the credit
arrangements entered into subsequent to the Chapter 11 filings.

NOTE 5. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the company's net profit before
other income and expense was $73,093. This improvement over the first quarter
fiscal 1999 net profit of $28,685 is largely due to the increased sales
levels which have resulted from the company's increased efforts in the areas
of sales and marketing. In addition, improved manufacturing efficiencies have
resulted in the company's ability to shorten the span of time between the
receipt and the fulfillment of customer orders.
11
<PAGE>
Careful control of personnel and overhead expenditures resulted in operating
expenses of $248,422 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared
to $229,796 for the same period in the prior year. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $196,497 for the three months ended September 30,
1999 and $181,167 at September 30, 1998. The net profit (loss) for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 is ($329,474). Net profit (loss) for the
comparative period in the prior year is ($413,119).
In January of 1998 pursuant to a court order, the issuer, as
debtor-in-possession, entered into a financing agreement with Venture Partners
Ltd., as agent, to borrow working capital, up to a maximum of $400,000. The
terms of this agreement call for interest at 20% and a term of 120 days. This
debt is collateralized firstly by the machinery and equipment of the issuer, and
secondarily by its accounts receivable. A total of $245,000 is presently
outstanding on this loan. As of this date the term of the note has expired
placing the borrower in default. At this time, no demand for repayment has been
received by the issuer.
Similarly, in February of 1998 the issuer, pursuant to a court order, entered
into a receivable factoring agreement with Porter Capital Corporation
("Porter"), whereby trade receivables are sold to Porter at 94% of face value. A
4% and 2% rebate is returned to the issuer if the receivable is collected within
60 and 90 days respectively. Fees to Porter include a minimum of 2% of the face
amount of the receivables factored, and an annual interest rate of prime on the
outstanding amount advanced. Collateral for this obligation comprises the
factored receivables, with a secondary lien on the machinery and equipment of
the issuer. In September of 1998 the before mentioned agreement was modified to
a minimum fee of 2.5% for receivables collected within 60 days and an additional
1% for each additional 15 days outstanding to a maximum of 90 days. Advances
under this factoring agreement were $38,860 at September 30, 1999.
During the period from February 1998 through July 1999 the Company liquidated
$78,655 of its pre-petition labor and vacation arrearages. As of this date the
only remaining pre-petition labor arrearage is that of certain officers and
accrued vacation pay for all former employees that did not return to work.
During this time period the Company was in discussions with the U.S. Department
of Labor regarding this matter. The Plan of Reorganization addresses the
liquidation of the priority portion of these pre-petition liabilities over a
period of eight months.
On May 12, 1998 a Plan of Reorganization was filed by the debtors with the
Office of the U.S. Trustee. Negotiations pertaining to the specifics of the Plan
of Reorganization among the creditors committee(s) and the debtor resulted in an
Amended Plan of Reorganization, which was filed on November 24, 1999.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results
of Operations.
Current Developments
During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the issuer and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, continued manufacturing operations as
debtors-in-possession under Chapter 11 protection. The Vantage Partners LLC, a
management consulting firm retained pursuant to court order, together with
Melvin A. Becker, Vice President of Operations, continued in their roles as
senior management. Product offerings were confined to three historical families
of products: military grade power supplies, variable autotransformers, and
linear switching power supply products. Employees and contracted consultants of
the issuer at September 30, 1999 totaled 26.
In the initial months following the Filing, the company successfully
resolved issues of material procurement with key suppliers and reinstated
deteriorating relationships with distributors and customers. Liquidity has been
improved by increased shipping levels and a concentrated effort on credit and
collection issues with all customers. Marketing efforts have been increased in
the areas of product literature development, internet advertisement, and sales
representative solicitation. However despite these efforts, both military and
commercial orders for product continued to plateau during the second and third
fiscal quarters of 1999. Subsequent periods saw continued efforts in the areas
of order procurement and customer satisfaction, and resulted in bookings of
$877,408 and $1,091,440 for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and September 30,
1999 respectively. Open sales orders at September 30, 1999 totaled $767,864.
In an effort to increase market share and to combat the downturn in
product orders historically experienced during the winter months, the company
retained a sales and marketing executive in July 1999. Likewise the company
continued its consulting arrangement with an outside sales professional, begun
in the prior fiscal quarter. To date, six manufacturer's sales representatives
have been contracted to sell product in the following domestic regions: New
England Region, Sunbelt Region, Central Region, Southwest Region, Caribbean Rim
Region, and Western Region. Negotiations are pending with representatives in
three additional U.S. regions. Contemporaneously, a new homepage has been
uploaded to the Internet domain, WWW.POWERDESIGNS.COM. This website currently
displays the entire linear, military and autotransformer product lines. While
these efforts are focused on generating increased order levels, there are,
however, no assurances that the company will be able to effectuate these
measures, or that such measures will produce the desired results.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 1998 the company also initiated
an effort to relocate from its thirty thousand square foot facility, to a
facility one half the size. As of this date an alternate facility within the
existing industrial park has been identified. Both the current landlord and a
local real estate brokerage firm have been engaged to release the existing
facility. Although the facility continues to be presented to the marketplace,
13
<PAGE>
no new lease transactions have as yet been consummated.
On May 12, 1998 the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PDIXF
Acquisition Corporation, filed a Plan of Reorganization with the Office of the
U.S. Trustee.
The Plan is a proposal of PDI and PDIXF to their Creditors and holders
of Equity Interests. The Plan is the product of discussions with the Debtors'
senior secured creditor, Inverness, which has agreed to support the Plan. The
Plan undertakes to resolve all secured claims, administrative claims, priority
claims, unsecured claims and equity interests. The Debtors believe that the
distributions to be made, pursuant to the terms of this Plan, will produce for
Creditors not less than they would receive if the Debtors' cases were converted
to cases under Chapter 7 of the Code, the Debtors' assets liquidated and
appropriate distributions therein were made as required by the Code.
A copy of the Plan of Reorganization for Power Designs, Inc. and PDIXF
Acquisition Corporation has been attached as an exhibit to the Form 10QSB for
the period ended March 31, 1998. Ongoing negotiations between the Debtors and
various creditor committee constituencies resulted in an Amended Plan of
Reorganization, which was filed on November 24, 1999 and has been attached as an
exhibit to the Form 10KSB for the period ended June 30,1999.
The amended plan provides for the cancellation of all existing equity
interests, and the issuance of 2,000,000 new common shares to be divided among
Inverness Corporation, Hayes Corporation, and certain unsecured creditors.
Approximately $1.95 million of secured debt is proposed to remain
post-confirmation and will bear interest at 10% annually. Administrative claims,
priority tax claims, and employee priority claims will be paid in accordance
with the terms negotiated with the claimants, or in certain cases, those
provided by law. Certain unsecured claims of PDIXF Acquisition Corporation will
receive a 5% cash settlement in full satisfaction of their outstanding claims.
All remaining claims will be deemed unsecured non-priority claims, and their
holders will receive a proportionate number of common shares in the reorganized
corporation.
A confirmation hearing on the amended plan has been continued to March
21, 2000, and may be continued from time to time by the court. Should the
amended plan not be confirmed, there is significant probability that the case
may be converted to a Chapter 7 case. In the instance of a conversion to a
Chapter 7 liquidation, there is little likelihood of any value remaining to
satisfy the existing equity interests of the Debtors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Pursuant to a court order, the issuer, as debtor-in-possession, has
entered into a financing agreement with Venture Partners Ltd., as agent, to
borrow working capital, up to a maximum of $400,000. The terms of this
agreement call for interest at 20% and a term of 120 days. This debt is
collateralized firstly by the machinery and equipment of the issuer, and
secondarily by its accounts receivable. A total of $245,000 is presently
outstanding on this loan.
14
<PAGE>
Similarly, the issuer, pursuant to a court order, has entered into a
receivable factoring agreement with Porter Capital Corporation ("Porter"),
whereby trade receivables are sold to Porter at 94% of face value. A 4% and 2%
rebate is returned to the issuer if the receivable is collected within 60 and 90
days respectively. Fees to Porter include a minimum of 2% of the face amount of
the receivables factored, and an annual interest rate of prime on the
outstanding amount advanced. Collateral for this obligation comprises the
factored receivables, with a secondary lien on the machinery and equipment of
the issuer. In September of 1998 the initial six-month term had elapsed and the
right to extend the agreement for a period of one year had been exercised. With
this renewal the before mentioned agreement has been modified to a minimum fee
of 2.5% for receivables collected within 60 days and an additional 1% for each
additional 15 days outstanding to a maximum of 90 days.
The issuer currently has a net stockholders' deficit of approximately
$16,300,000, meaning that amounts owed to its creditors exceed the issuer's
assets.
The issuer has completed the implementation of a Year 2000 compliance
plan. At this writing, all of their significant business systems, including
those that affect facilities and manufacturing activities, are functioning
properly with respect to the Year 2000 issue. The issuer has assessed their
internal processes and systems, and believes that sales, administration, and
general operations are substantially Year 2000 compliant. Prior to purchasing
any new equipment or software, it is the issuer's policy to ensure that the
specifications include Year 2000 compliance.
Because no specific instance of material Year 2000 non-compliance has
been discovered to date, the issuer has not adopted a contingency plan to deal
with Year 2000 issues. Based upon the expenditures to date, the issuer believes
the total costs of the Year 2000 review and compliance to be minimal. The issuer
believes that, with the completion of its Year 2000 assessment as scheduled, the
possibility of significant interruptions of normal operations have been

First quarter of fiscal 2000 versus first quarter of fiscal 1999.
Net sales increased to $823,912 for the quarter ended September 30,
1999 as compared with $745,706 for the same period in 1998.
Similarly, gross profit increased from $258,481 for the first quarter
in fiscal 1999 to $321,515 for the same quarter in fiscal 2000. The resulting
increase was primarily due to the improving manufacturing efficiencies exhibited
by the issuer, and the increased production volumes achieved in core product
manufacturing during the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Cost of sales increased
slightly from $487,225 for the first quarter of fiscal
15
<PAGE>
1999 to $502,397 for the same period in fiscal 2000. A substantial portion of
the improved performance is due to the mix of core product sold in the first
fiscal quarter, concentrating more predominantly on military and linear power
supply sales rather than on autotransformer sales. Quarterly interest and other
expense decreased from $437,804 as of September 30, 1999 to $398,567 as of
September 30, 2000 primarily the result of the decrease in advances outstanding
under the factoring agreement for the respective periods. Continued overhead
curtailment and measured growth of operations subsequent to the bankruptcy
petitions, contribute to the modest increase in operating expenses from $229,796
for the quarter ending September 30, 1998 as compared to $248,422 for the
quarter ending September 30, 1999. As a result of these conditions, the net
profit (loss) for the three months ending September 30, 1999 is ($329,474), as
compared to ($413,119) for the same period in fiscal 1999.
It is the intention of the present management of the issuer to
concentrate its resources on the production of its existing three product lines,
to reduce operating and occupancy costs where possible, to improve marketing
strategies and further customer relationships, and to replace the
debtor-in-possession financing with less costly conventional debt instruments
upon confirmation of a plan of reorganization. However, there can be no
assurances that the issuer will be able to obtain such additional debt
financing, or be successful at streamlining and improving operating results.
Certain statements contained in this Item 2 regarding matters that are
not historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding the future
adequacy of the issuer's working capital, its ability to raise capital through
debt or equity offerings, its ability to maintain or improve its present cash
flow, are "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties, which may cause the actual results, performance or
achievements of the issuer to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements, express or implied by such forward-looking
statements.
These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of forms
of such terms and phrases as "expects," "intends," "goals," "estimates,"
"projects," "plans," "anticipates," "should," "future," "believes," and
"scheduled". The variables which may cause differences include, but are not
limited to, the following: general economic and business conditions;
competition; success of operating initiatives; operating costs; advertising and
promotional efforts; the existence or absence of adverse publicity; changes in
business strategy or development plans; the ability to retain management;
availability, terms and deployment of capital; business abilities and judgement
of personnel; availability of qualified personnel; labor and employee benefit
costs; availability and costs of raw materials and supplies; and changes in, or
failure to comply with, government regulations. Although the issuer believes
that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein
are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there
can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this filing
will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in
the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such
information should not be regarded as a representation by the issuer

or any other person that the objectives and expectations of the issuer will be
achieved.
