statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and requires recognition of all derivatives as assets or liabilities
in the statement of financial position and measure of those instruments at fair
value. The statement, as amended, is effective for all fiscal quarters of all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company will adopt the standard
no later than the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 and is in the process of
determining the impact that adoption will have on its consolidated financial
statements.

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The
staff accounting bulletin is effective no later than the first quarter of the
company's fiscal year 2001. The Company is in the process of determining the
impact that adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2--MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
  OF OPERATIONS.

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this
document.

    This document contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause the results of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. These risks include the timely development,
production and delivery of new products; the challenge of managing asset levels,
including inventory and trade receivables; the difficulty of keeping expense
growth at modest levels while increasing revenues; and other risks described
from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including but not limited to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
the year ended November 30, 1999.

    Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of the Company with
respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or
expected.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 28, 2000 AND MAY 30, 1999

    Net revenue for the three months ended May 28, 2000 was $10,243,000, an
increase of 13.1% from the same period of fiscal 1999. The increase in net
revenues for the three months ended May 28, 2000 is primarily attributable to
higher volumes.

    Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue was 84.5 percent for the second
quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to 83.2 percent for the second quarter of
fiscal 1999, a 1.3 percentage point increase. The increase in cost of sales for
the second quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to the second quarter of fiscal
1999, is primarily due to volume increases, the addition of manufacturing fixed
costs as a result of the Company's expansion in Ireland and the gross profit
sharing agreement with the Company's strategic manufacturing partner in
Singapore. The increases are partially offset by cost savings from capacity
reductions in the U.S.

    Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue were 11.3 percent for the
second quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to 12.6 percent for the second quarter
of fiscal 1999, a 1.3 percentage point decrease. Increases in operating expenses
at the Company's Ireland subsidiary, for the second quarter of fiscal 2000,
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999, were offset by decreases in the
U.S. The Company

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

6) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
continues to focus on the reduction of operating expense ratios and optimization
of manufacturing processes in order to improve profitability.

    Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was $131,000 an
increase of $36,000, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase
is attributable to higher interest rates and higher average loan balances.

    Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was $266,000, compared to
net income of $276,000 for the second quarter of 1999. Basic earnings per share
for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was three cents per share on a weighted
average of 8.6 million shares, compared to three cents on a weighted average of
8.6 million shares for the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Diluted earnings per
share for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was three cents per share on a
weighted average of 8.9 million shares, compared to three cents per share on a
weighted average of 8.9 million shares for the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 28, 2000 AND MAY 30, 1999

    Net revenue for the six months ended May 28, 2000 was $19,724,000, an
increase of 20% from the same period of fiscal 1999. The increase in net
revenues for the six months of fiscal 2000 is primarily attributable to higher
volumes.

    Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue was 84.5 percent for the six
months of fiscal 2000, compared to 85.6 percent for the six months of fiscal
1999, a 1.1 percentage point decrease. The decrease in cost of sales for the six
months of fiscal 2000, compared to the six months of fiscal 1999, is primarily
due to cost savings from capacity reductions in the U.S. and the gross profit
sharing agreement with the Company's strategic manufacturing partner in
Singapore.

    Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue were 11.5 percent for the
six months of fiscal 2000, compared to 13.9 percent for the six months of fiscal
1999, a 2.4 percentage point decrease. The Company continues to focus on the
reduction of operating expense ratios and optimization of manufacturing
processes in order to improve profitability.

    Interest expense for the six months of fiscal 2000 was $250,000, an increase
of $72,000, compared to the six months of fiscal 1999. The increase is
attributable to higher interest rates and higher average loan balances.

    Net income for the six months of fiscal 2000 was $517,000, compared to net
loss of $114,000 for the six months of 1999. Basic earnings per share for the
six months of fiscal 2000 was six cents per share on a weighted average of
8.6 million shares, compared to basic loss per share of one cent on a weighted
average of 8.6 million shares for the six months of fiscal 1999. Diluted
earnings per share for the six months of fiscal 2000 was six cents per share on
a weighted average of 8.9 million shares, compared to a diluted loss per share
of one cent on a weighted average of 8.6 million shares for the six months ended
May 30, 1999.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

    The following is a discussion of operating results for each of the Company's
business segments. Quarterly financial data for each segment can be found in
Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements. The reportable segments
disclosed in this Form 10-Q are based on the Company's internal management
responsibility.

AMI-U.S. OPERATIONS

    Net revenue for the second quarter and six months ended May 28, 2000 was
$6,186,000 and $11,853,000 respectively, compared to net revenue for the second
quarter and six months ended May 30,

1999 of $6,441,000 and $11,783,000, respectively. Net loss for the second
quarter and six months ended May 28, 2000 was $(130,000) and $(287,000),
respectively, compared to net income of $14,000 and net loss of $(293,000),
respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended May 30, 1999.

AMFSC-SINGAPORE

    Net revenue for the second quarter and six months ended May 28, 2000 was
$2,599,000 and $4,874,000, respectively, compared to net revenue for the second
quarter and six months ended May 30, 1999 of $2,161,000 and $3,894,000,
respectively. The increase in net revenues for the second quarter and six months
of fiscal 2000 is primarily attributable to the recovering economies in the
Pacific Rim and higher volumes of component sales to computer printer
manufacturers. Printer supply sales to key customer accounts reflected continued
growth in the installed base, growth in printing from the Internet and increased
usage of newly introduced products. Net income for the second quarter and six
months ended May 28, 2000 was $355,000 and $726,000, respectively, compared to
net income for the second quarter and six months ended May 30, 1999 of $360,000
and $432,000, respectively.

AML-IRELAND

    Net revenue for the second quarter and six months ended May 28, 2000 was
$1,458,000 and $2,997,000, respectively, compared to net revenue for the second
quarter and six months ended May 30, 1999 of $457,000 and $816,000,
respectively. The increase in net revenues for the second quarter and six months
of fiscal 2000 is primarily attributable to higher volumes of component sales to
computer printer manufacturers. Printer supply sales to key customer accounts
reflected continued growth in the installed base, growth in printing from the
Internet and increased usage of newly introduced products. Net income for the
second quarter and six months ended May 28, 2000 was $41,000 and $78,000,
respectively, compared to net loss for the second quarter and six months ended
May 30, 1999 of $(98,000) and $(253,000), respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Cash and cash equivalents were $729,000 at May 28, 2000 compared with
$496,000 at November 30, 1999. During the second quarter of fiscal 2000 cash
flows from operating activities were used to pay down short- and long-term debt
and purchase property, plant and equipment.

    Operating activities generated $341,000 of cash during the first six months
of fiscal 2000 compared with a cash use of $1,091,000 in the corresponding
period in fiscal 1999. The increase in cash generated in fiscal 2000 resulted
primarily from operations and collection of receivables.

    Inventory as a percentage of net revenue was 11.3% at May 28, 2000 compared
with 7.0% at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1999 and 9.2% as of
November 30, 1999, as a result of increased inventory levels to support the
sales growth in Ireland. Trade receivables as a percentage of net revenue were
17.0% at May 28, 2000 compared with 16.6% at the end of the second quarter of
fiscal 1999 and 17.2% as of November 30, 1999.

    Capital expenditures were $490,000 for the six months ended May 28, 2000,
compared to $635,000 for the corresponding period in fiscal 1999. The Company
has instituted a company-wide program to reduce non-essential capital
expenditures, which are not specifically focused on revenue growth.

    The Company uses short- and long-term borrowings to supplement internally
generated cash flow. Short- and long-term borrowings in the six months ended
May 28, 2000 increased by $252,000.

FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

    Competition--We encounter aggressive competition in all areas of our
business. We have numerous competitors, ranging from several comparable-size
companies to many relatively small companies. The majority of our competitors
are private, closely held companies. We compete primarily on the basis of
performance, price, quality and customer service. Product life cycles are short,
with numerous small one-time customer orders. To remain competitive, the Company
must be able to quickly develop new products and enhance existing products in
response to customer demands. In particular, management anticipates a continuing
need to lower the prices of many of the Company's products to stay competitive
and effectively manage financial returns with resulting reduced gross margins.
In some of our markets, we may not be able to successfully compete against
current and future competitors, and the competitive pressures we face could harm
our business and prospects.

    New Product Introductions--If the Company cannot continue to rapidly develop
and manufacture innovative products that meet customer requirements for
performance, price, quality and customer service, we may lose market share and
future revenue and earnings may suffer. The process of developing new products
and corresponding manufacturing processes is complex and uncertain. The customer
decision-making process can be lengthy and some raw materials have extremely
long lead times. These circumstances often lead to long delays in new product
introductions. After a product is developed, we must be able to manufacture
sufficient volumes quickly at low enough costs. To do this we must accurately
forecast volumes and mix of products. Customer orders have also been subject to
dramatic swings from customer provided forecasts. Thus, matching customers'
demand and timing for particular products makes the process of planning
production and managing inventory levels increasingly difficult.

    Short Product Life Cycles--The short life cycles of many of the Company's
products pose a challenge for us to manage effectively the transition from
existing products to new products. If we do not manage the transition
effectively, our future revenue and earnings could suffer. Among the factors
that make a smooth transition from current products to new products difficult
are delays in the customer decision-making process, development of manufacturing
processes, long lead times for the delivery of raw materials and variations in
product costs. Our future revenues and earnings could also suffer due to the
timing and introduction of new product offerings, which compete directly or
indirectly with our customers' products and new product offerings by our
competitors.

    Reliance on Suppliers--The Company's manufacturing operations depend on our
suppliers' ability to deliver quality raw materials and components in time for
us to meet critical manufacturing and distribution schedules. We sometimes
experience a short supply of certain raw materials as a result of supplier
out-of-stock situations or long manufacturing lead times. If shortages or delays
exist, the Company's future operating results could suffer. Furthermore, we may
not be able to secure enough raw materials at reasonable prices to manufacture
new products in the quantities required to meet customer demand. Sudden or large
raw materials price increases could also cause future operating results to
suffer.

    International--Sales outside the United States make up more than 40% of the
Company's revenues. Manufacturing for these products are also located outside of
the United States. The Company's future earnings or financial position could be
adversely affected by a variety of international factors, including:

    - Changes in a country or region's political or economic conditions,

    - Trade protection measures,

    - Import or export licensing requirements,

    - The overlap of different tax structures,

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

6) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
    - Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements,

    - Problems caused by the conversion of various European currencies to the
      Euro, and

    - Natural disasters.

    Market Risk--The majority of the Company's sales are denominated in U.S.
dollars. All costs in Singapore and the majority of direct material costs in
Ireland are also denominated in U.S. dollars. However, the Company is exposed to
foreign currency exchange risk inherent in our sales commitments, anticipated
sales and assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S.
dollar. See also "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk" in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more detailed
information.

    Earthquake--Our corporate offices and manufacturing division in California
are located near major earthquake faults. The ultimate impact on the Company and
our general infrastructure is unknown, but operating results could be materially
affected in the event of a major earthquake. We are predominantly uninsured for
losses and interruptions caused by earthquakes.

    Environmental--Some of the Company's operations use substances regulated
under various federal, state and international laws governing the environment.
It is our policy to apply strict standards for environmental protection to sites
inside and outside the U.S., even when not subject to local government
regulations. THE COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY ENVIRONMENTAL INFRACTIONS.

    Profit Margin--The Company's profit margins vary somewhat among our products
and geographic markets. Consequently, our overall profitability in any given
period is partially dependent on the product, customer and geographic mix
reflected in that period's net revenue.

    Stock Price--The Company's stock price, like that of any other small-cap
company, can be volatile. Some of the factors that can affect our stock price
are:

    - The Company's, our customer's or our competitor's announcement of new or
      discontinued products,

    - Quarterly increases or decreases of our earnings,

    - Changes in revenue or earnings estimates by the investment community, and

    - Speculation in the press or investment community.

    General market conditions and domestic or international macroeconomic
factors unrelated to the Company's performance may also affect our stock price.
For these reasons, investors should not rely on recent trends to predict future
stock prices or financial results. In addition, following periods of volatility
in a company's securities, securities class action litigation against a company
is sometimes instituted. This type of litigation could result in substantial
costs and the diversion of management time and resources.

    Earnings Fluctuations--Although management believes the Company has products
and resources needed for successful results, we cannot reliably predict future
revenue and margin trends. Actual trends may cause us to adjust our operations,
which could cause period-to-period fluctuations in our earnings.
