POWER DESIGNS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2000 and 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The 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 consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto. In the opinion of the
management of the Company, the 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, 2000 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,
2000 and September 30, 1999 include the operations of PDIXF Acquisition
Corporation for these same periods respectively.

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:

Notes payable - affiliated companies                              $ 7,015,553(a)

Accrued interest                                                    4,372,298
Capital lease obligation                                              142,872(a)
Payables related to 1994 reorganization including
  accrued interest                                                    188,586

Total                                                             $18,807,248
                                                                  ===========

(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 August 22, 2000
      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
      secured obligations through June 30, 2000. Additional interest in the
      amount of $371,138 on these secured obligations was accrued for the three
      months ended September 30, 2000.

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 and a
Second Amended Plan of Reorganization which was filed on August 22, 2000. The
confirmation date for the plan of reorganization has been continued from time to
time by the court, as settlement negotiations continue between the debtors and
their creditor constituencies.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
        and Results of Operations.

      Current Developments

            During the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, the issuer, as
Debtors-in-Possession, have continued operations on a limited scale. Pursuant to
a court order, the issuer retained The Vantage Partners LLC, a management
consulting firm, who, together with Melvin A. Becker, Vice President of
Operations, continue to comprise existing senior management. Approximately
twenty eight individuals are presently employed in the production of the three
remaining product lines. Since that time, management's efforts have been
concentrated in the following areas: restoring customer relationships,
streamlining operating costs, improving manufacturing quality and material
procurement efficiencies, and re-establishing credit availability with vendors
and suppliers.

      The company has 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. Despite
increased marketing efforts in the areas of product literature development,
internet advertisement, and sales representative solicitation, a general decline
in military spending has resulted in a reduction in product orders during the
first fiscal quarter of 2001. At this writing, both military and commercial
orders for product fail to exhibit stable levels of predictability. Open sales
orders at September 30, 2000 total $268,440.

      To combat a declining flow of new orders for military product, the issuer
has initiated steps to expand the sale of its off-the-shelf autotransformer and
laboratory power supply products. In addition to various advertising measures
and several additions to its internal sales force, the issuer has likewise
retained the services of various outside sales consultants and manufacturer's
representatives in an effort to expand the customer base and increase product
revenue. Contemporaneously, a new homepage has been uploaded to the Internet
domain, www.powerdesigns.com. This website currently displays an overview of the
linear, military and autotransformer product lines. While these efforts are
focused on generating increased commercial order levels, there are, however, no
assurances that the issuer will be able to effectuate these measures, or that
such measures will produce the desired results.

      Coupled with overhead cost containment measures, the issuer has also
completed an engineering effort to redesign certain products in its linear power
supply family. These new designs should prove easier and more cost effective to
manufacture, as well as provide a greater range of product features and
reliability. To date, orders for this family of products continue to languish
below the issuer's expectations. Current initiatives to expand the market share
include competitive product analysis and re-pricing, coupled with a redirection
of product from the distribution channel to direct customer sales.

      On May 12, 1998 the Issuer and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PDIXF
Acquisition


                                       13
<PAGE>

Corporation, filed a Plan of Reorganization with the Office of the U.S. Trustee.

      The Plan is a proposal of Power Design Inc. 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 10-QSB 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 10-KSB 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 $1.8 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 Second Amended Plan of Reorganization for Power Designs, Inc. and PDIXF
Acquisition Corporation was filed with the Office of the U.S. Trustee on August
22, 2000. This amendment modifies repayment terms for allowed federal and state
employee and tax claims, and modifies certain releases and indemnification
granted to third party affiliates of the issuer. The Second Amended Plan of
Reorganization has been attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-KSB for the period
ended June 30, 2000.

      A settlement hearing on the amended plan has been continued from time to
time by the court. Prior to confirmation of the plan, management of the issuer
anticipates the resolution of any remaining creditor objections, and all
corresponding plan amendments resulting from those resolutions. 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.
As of this date, this indebtedness was not paid in full, thereby placing the
issuer in default. As of this date, no demand for repayment has been made and
all interest payments are current. There are no renewal negotiations pending.

      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. At September 30, 2000
the issuer had $31,079 in outstanding advances under this factoring agreement.

      The issuer currently has a net stockholders' deficit of approximately
$17,700,000, meaning that amounts owed to its creditors exceed the issuer's
assets.

      Results of Operations

      First quarter of fiscal 2001 versus first quarter of fiscal 2000.

      Net sales decreased by 11.5% to $729,828 for the quarter ended September
30, 2000 as compared with $823,912 for the same period in 1999.

      Similarly, gross profit decreased from $321,515 for the first quarter in
fiscal 2000 to $272,560 for the same quarter in fiscal 2001. The resulting
decrease was primarily due to the overall decline in new product orders in the
commercial autotransformer product line. Cost of sales decreased correspondingly
from $502,397 for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to $457,268 for the same
period in fiscal 2001. A substantial portion of the sustained 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
$398,567 as of September 30, 1999 to $348,382 as of September 30, 2000 primarily
as the result of a one-time receipt of investment income related to a New York
limited partnership interest owned by the issuer. Continued overhead curtailment
contributes to the modest decrease in operating expenses from $248,422 for the
quarter ending September 30, 1999 as compared to


                                       15
<PAGE>

$241,597 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. As a result of these
conditions, the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2000 is
$363,064, as compared to $329,474 for the same period in fiscal 2000.

      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.
