                         Report of Independent Auditors


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Solder Station One, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Solder Station One, Inc. (the
"Company") as of December 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit. 

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 1997 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Solder Station One, Inc. as
of December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Company Description

Solder Station One, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in 1979. The Company
provides solder masking and solder leveling services to printed circuit board
manufacturers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with maturities of three months or
less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories consist of supplies used in the solder masking and solder leveling
services provided by the Company and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out) or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and
equipment is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives
of the individual assets, generally three to seven years.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company sells its services to customers in the high technology industry and
primarily located in Southern California. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral for its
receivables. However, the Company maintains an allowance for potential credit
losses. As of December 31, 1997, the gross accounts receivable balance included
amounts from three customers which individually represented approximately 19%,
7% and 5% of the total accounts receivable balance. Sale to these customers
totaled approximately 7%, 13% and 12% of gross sales for the year ended December
31, 1997. 

The Company relies on three key vendors to supply its primary raw material
needs. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers capable of supplying
these needs, the Company believes that other suppliers could provide for the
Company's needs on comparable terms.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of

The Company applies provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of (SFAS 121). SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by
a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be
disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell.

Use of Estimates

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Income Taxes

The Company's shareholders have elected to be taxed for Federal income tax
purposes as a Subchapter S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. As a
result, the net income and any tax credits of the Company are included in the
personal income tax returns of the Company's shareholders. Accordingly, no
provision has been made of Federal income taxes in the accompanying financial
statements. For state tax purposes, the Company is subject to an S Corporation
tax of 1.5% of pretax earnings. The Company's S Corporation taxes have been
substantially offset by California Enterprise Zone Tax Credit and the
manufacturers credit.

No provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for built-in
gains taxes which, if any, might be due in the event of the sale of any of the
Company's assets.

Cost of Sales

Certain materials used in the Company's processing are regularly recovered. The
Company receives either cash for the recovered materials or discounts on
purchases of raw materials. Such savings are treated as a reduction of cost of
sales.

2.   OWNERSHIP OF COMPANY

The Company's sole stockholders are Mr. and Mrs. Odilon Cardenas. They are the
only members of the Board of Directors and participate in the day-to-day
operation and management of the Company.

4.   LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

The terms of the note payable to the equipment supplier provide for reductions
to the outstanding balance based on services provided to the supplier by the
Company and certain purchases made by the Company from the supplier. A dispute
has arisen with the supplier concerning the formula for allowing future
reductions to the total outstanding balance at December 31, 1997.

5.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company's stockholders own two buildings which the Company leases for its
Santa Ana, California manufacturing facilities and administrative offices. Rent
paid on these buildings totaled to approximately $222,650 for 1997.

6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company leases its manufacturing facilities and administrative offices under
noncancelable operating leases. The leases typically require the Company to pay
taxes, insurance and certain other operating expenses applicable to the leased
property. In the normal course of business, expiring leases will be renewed or
replaced with new leases. Total rental expense on operating leases was $286,826
for 1997.

Future minimum lease commitments under all noncancelable leases with initial or
remaining terms of one year or more consisted of the following at December 31,
1997:


1998                                                     $   222,456

capital leases is $28,918 as of December 31, 1997, including accumulated
depreciation of $1,300 as of December 31, 1997, and is included in property and

         For the years ending December 31:


1998                                                         $   11,226

7.   IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)

Certain older computer programs were written using two digits rather than four
to define the applicable year. As a result, those computer programs have
time-sensitive software that recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000 (the "Year 2000 Issue"). This could cause a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in other normal
business activities.

7.   IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED) (continued)

The Company has completed an initial assessment of the Year 2000 Issue and will
have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer systems
will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter.
The Company believes that these modifications to existing software and
conversions are estimated to be completed by December 31, 1998. However, if such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the
Year 2000 Issue could have an impact on the operations of the Company. This
timeline is based on the Company's best estimates, and actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated. In addition, there is no guarantee
that the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be
timely converted and would not have an adverse effect on the Company.

8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The owners of the Company have entered into a non-binding letter of intent to
sell their interest in the Company.

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1996 and 1995

(1)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        COMPANY DESCRIPTION

        Solder Station One, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in 1979. The
        Company provides solder masking and solder leveling services to printed
        circuit board manufacturers.

        CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

        The Company considers all liquid investments with maturities of three
        months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

        MARKETABLE SECURITIES

        Investments in securities which do not meet the definition of cash
        equivalents are classified as marketable securities. Marketable
        securities consist of U.S. and state government agency issues. Statement
        of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
        Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115), was adopted by
        the Company at the beginning of Fiscal 1995. SFAS 115 requires that
        investments be classified as "held to maturity," "available for sale" or
        "trading securities." The statement defines investments in securities as
        "held to maturity" based upon a positive intent and ability to hold
        those securities. Securities that are bought and held principally for
        the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as "trading
        securities" and would be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains
        and losses included in operations. Debt and equity securities not
        classified as "held to maturity" or "trading securities" are classified
        as "available for sale" and would be recorded at fair value, with
        unrealized gains and losses excluded from operations and reported as a
        separate component of equity. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company
        classified all of its investments in securities which did not meet the
        definition of cash equivalents as trading securities.

        INVENTORIES

        Inventories consist of supplies used in the solder masking and solder
        leveling services provided by the Company and are stated at the lower of
        cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

        PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

        Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and
        equipment is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated
        useful lives of the individual assets, generally three to seven years.

        CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

        The Company sells its services to customers in the high technology
        industry and primarily located in Southern California. The Company
        performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not
        require collateral for its receivables. However, the Company maintains
        an allowance for

                                      F-20

                    Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

        potential credit losses. As of December 31, 1996, the gross accounts
        receivable balance included amounts from three customers which
        individually represented approximately 23%, 12% and 10% of the total
        accounts receivable balance. Sales to these customers totaled
        approximately 19%, 11% and 10% of gross sales for the year ended
        December 31, 1996.

        The Company relies on three key vendors to supply its primary raw
        material needs. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers
        capable of supplying these needs, the Company believes that other
        suppliers could provide for the Company's needs on comparable terms.

        IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED
        OF

        The Company applies provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
        Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of
        Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS 121
        requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be
        reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
        indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
        Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison
        of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to
        be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired,
        the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
        carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
        Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying
        amount or fair value less costs to sell.

        USE OF ESTIMATES

        Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
        relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
        of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
        statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
        Actual results could differ from these estimates.

        INCOME TAXES

        The Company's shareholders have elected to be taxed for Federal income
        tax purposes as a Subchapter S Corporation under the Internal Revenue
        Code. As a result, the net income and any tax credits of the Company are
        included in the personal income tax returns of the Company's
        shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income
        taxes in the accompanying financial statements. For state tax purposes,
        the Company is subject to an S Corporation tax of 1.5% of pretax
        earnings. The Company's S Corporation taxes have been substantially
        offset by California Enterprise Zone Tax Credit and the manufacturers
        credit. No provision has been made in the accompanying financial
        statements for built-in gains taxes which, if any, might be due in the
        event of the sale of any of the Company's assets.

        COST OF SALES

        Certain materials used in the Company's processing are regularly
        recovered. The Company receives either cash for the recovered materials
        or discounts on purchases of raw materials. Such savings are treated as
        a reduction of cost of sales.

            concerning the formula for allowing future reductions to the total
            outstanding balance at December 31, 1996.

(7)         COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

            The Company leases its manufacturing facilities and administrative
            offices under noncancelable operating leases. The leases typically
            require the Company to pay taxes, insurance and certain other
            operating expenses applicable to the leased property. In the normal
            course of business, expiring leases will be renewed or replaced with
            new leases. Total rental expense on operating leases was $294,591
            and $302,221 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

            Future minimum lease commitments under all noncancelable leases with
            initial or remaining terms of one year or more consisted of the
