                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  July 2, 1995

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. The statements (and all other information in
this report) have not been audited by independent accountants, but in the
opinion of the Company, contain all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the period. The results of operations for the
six month period ended July 2, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations for the year ending December 31, 1995.

NOTE 2 - LONG TERM DEBT

In November 1993, the Company retired its existing revolving line of credit and
equipment loan with a new credit facility with CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc.
The new credit facility consists of a $34.0 million three (3) year revolving
line of credit secured by accounts receivable and inventory and a $6.0 million
five-year term loan secured by equipment. The borrowings under the revolving
line of credit are limited to 85% of the Company's eligible accounts receivable
and 50% of the Company's eligible inventory (a total availability of $12.8
million at July 2, 1995 and $14.3 million at December 31, 1994 and total
borrowings of $10.2 million and $11.8 million, respectively). The credit
facility has various financial covenants which limit the Company's ability to
incur additional indebtedness, purchase and dispose of equipment and declare or
pay cash dividends. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial
covenants. As of July 2, 1995, the Company failed to meet the covenants in its
credit agreement with The CIT Group. CIT has granted the Company a waiver for
all covenant violations resulting from the Company's second quarter
performance.

Based on the Company's second quarter performance, management currently
believes the Company will not meet the covenants previously contained in the
credit agreement for the remainder of 1995. The CIT Group and the Company have
negotiated and implemented revised covenants as follows:

EBITDA:

The Company shall have EBITDA for the applicable periods below of not less

</TABLE>


Based on the Company's current business plan and the consolidation of the
Colorado Springs and Guntersville facilities resulting in reduced overhead
expenses and the Company's current business plan, management currently believes
the Company will meet the revised covenants. If it does not comply with these
covenants, the Company will be required to seek a waiver or amendment to the
CIT Credit Agreement in order to continue borrowing under such agreement and to
avoid potential acceleration of the indebtedness outstanding.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations and with borrowings
under its credit facility described above should be sufficient for the Company
to meet its obligations during 1995, including debt service and trade creditor
obligations. Based on its current assessment of the level of its business, the
Company does not anticipate that it will be required to make significant
capital expenditures in the next twelve to eighteen months.

On January 25, 1995, the Company completed a private negotiated exchange of
$5.3 million of debentures for shares of the Company's common and Series A
preferred stock. This exchange provided the exchanging debenture holders an
aggregate of 2.1 million shares of common stock and .5 million shares of Series
A preferred stock. The Company had no material gain or loss on the transaction.

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

GENERAL
Comptronix Corporation provides manufacturing services to original equipment
manufacturers ("OEMs"), including producers of computers, computer peripherals,
industrial instruments, communications equipment, medical devices and test
equipment. The Company operates two plants in Guntersville, Alabama.

Operating results are generally affected by a number of factors, including the
relative mix of high volume/lower margin business and lower volume/higher
margin business, price competition, raw material costs, labor efficiencies, the
degree of automation that can be used in the assembly process and the
efficiencies achieved by the Company in managing inventories and fixed assets.

The financial information and the discussion below should be read in
conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included
in this Form 10-Q. This discussion will also address certain factors which are
anticipated to effect the Company's 1995 results and financial condition.

</TABLE>

With the disposition of the San Jose operations effective July 3, 1994, the
second quarter of 1995 Company sales and expenses do not include any effects of
the San Jose operations. For the 1994 first quarter, San Jose sales and
expenses are included in their respective categories.

Total Company sales for the second quarter of 1995 were $22.7 million, a
decrease of 12.5% as compared to the second quarter 1994 sales of $25.9
million, excluding $7.2 million for the San Jose division. The decrease in
sales is primarily attritibutable to inefficiencies and lost production days
with the transition of the Company's Colorado Springs division to the
Guntersville facilities. These temporary capacity constraints affected the
Company's ability to meet customer delivery schedules in June and reduced
second quarter revenues by several million dollars. Additionally, to a lesser
degree, the Company's revenues were impacted by component market conditions
that affected the avialability of components needed for certain programs and by
certain customers' decisions to push production out to the later part of the
year.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 1995 was $1.3 million, 5.6% of sales, as
compared to a gross loss of $1.2 million, 4.4% of sales, for the second quarter
of 1994, excluding $.6 million gross loss for the San Jose division. The second
quarter improvement in gross profit is primarily from a more profitable mix of


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

business, as well as an increase in consigned business which produces higher
gross profit margins. During the latter part of 1994, the Company began to
implement additional steps to improve gross margins, including adding new
customers with better operating margins and reductions in overhead and direct
costs. Additional measures were also taken to improve labor and material
efficiencies.

Marketing, general and administrative expense was $1.8 million, 7.9% of sales,
for the second quarter of 1995, as compared to $2.0 million, 6.0% of sales, for
the second quarter 1994. The overall decrease is attributable to the
disposition of the San Jose division which accounted for approximately $.3
million in the second quarter of 1994.

Interest expense decreased to $.9 million for the second quarter of 1995 from
$1.2 million for the second quarter of 1994. The decrease in interest expense
over the 1994 second quarter is the result of decreased borrowings for lower
levels of inventory and receivables.

Other expense was $.1 million for the second quarter of 1995 as compared to $.3
for the second quarter of 1994. Other expense for 1995 and 1994 includes
amortization expense of deferred financing costs.

The Company's net loss was $1.9 million for the second quarter of 1995 as
compared to a net loss of $9.0 million for the second quarter of 1994. Net loss
per share was $0.14 (based upon a weighted average of 13,263,000 shares
outstanding) in the second quarter of 1995, compared to net loss per share
$0.81 (based upon a weighted average of 11,044,000 shares outstanding) in the
second quarter of 1994.

Six Months Ended July 2, 1995 and July 3, 1994

</TABLE>

With the disposition of the San Jose operations effective July 3, 1994, the
first half of 1995 Company sales and expenses do not include any effects of the
San Jose operations. For the 1994 first half, San Jose sales and expenses are
included in their respective categories.

Total Company sales for the first half of 1995 were $50.2 million, an increase
of 6.5% as compared to the first half 1994 sales of $47.2 million, excluding
$16.6 million for the San Jose division. The increase in sales predominantly
relates to new customers and increased sales for existing customers in the
telecommunications and consumer electronics industry.

Gross profit for the first half of 1995 was $3.5 million, 6.9% of sales, as
compared to a gross loss of $.1 million, .3% of sales, for the first half of
1994, excluding $.6 million gross loss for the San Jose division. The first
half improvement in gross profit is primarily from a more profitable mix of
business, as well as an increase in consigned business which produces higher
gross profit margins. During the latter part of 1994,



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

the Company began to implement additional steps to improve gross margins,
including adding new customers with better operating margins and reductions in
overhead and direct costs. Additional measures were also taken to improve labor
and material efficiencies.

Marketing, general and administrative expense was $3.2 million, 6.2% of sales,
for the first half of 1995, as compared to $3.9 million, 6.1% of sales, for the
first half 1994. The overall decrease is attributable to the disposition of the
San Jose division which accounted for approximately $.7 million in the second
quarter of 1994.

Interest expense decreased to $1.9 million for the first half quarter of 1995
from $2.2 million for the first half of 1994. The decrease in interest expense
over the 1994 first half is the result of decreased borrowings for lower levels
of inventory and receivables.

Other income was $.1 million for the first half of 1995 as compared to other
expense of $.1 for the first half of 1994. Other income for 1995 includes
amortization expense of deferred financing costs which was more than offset by
the reversal of reserves relating to previous non-cash charges reserving for
bad debts that were subsequently collected. Other expense for 1994 includes
amortization expense of deferred financing costs.

The Company's net loss was $2.0 million for the first half of 1995 as compared
to a net loss of $10.8 million for the first half of 1994. Net loss per share
was $0.16 (based upon a weighted average of 12,975,000 shares outstanding) in
the first half of 1995, compared to net loss per share $0.98 (based upon a
weighted average of 11,029,000 shares outstanding) in the first half of 1994.

CERTAIN CURRENTLY IDENTIFIABLE FACTORS ANTICIPATED TO AFFECT REMAINING 1995
RESULTS

Based upon the Company's current assessment of its business, there are several
currently identifiable factors which are likely to affect the remainder of 1995
operating results. In addition, factors which are likely to affect the
Company's liquidity and uses of funds during the remainder of 1995 are
discussed below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

As described above, the Company has experienced a decrease in sales as compared
to the second quarter of 1994 which is mainly attributable to greater than
expected delays and inefficiencies in the transfer of the Colorado Springs
operations to the two facilities in Guntersville, Alabama. Customers
representing over 90% of the first two quarter revenues of the Company's
Colorado Springs division have transferred their programs to Guntersville. The
transfer of production is complete and the Company is in production in
Guntersville for the former Colorado Springs customers. The Company currently
believes that it will maintain or slightly improve targeted margins as compared
to the second quarter of 1995. This belief is based upon the Company's backlog
of orders on July 2, 1995, which totaled approximately $66 million compared to
$56 million at the end of 1994. The Company believes that it has been able to
maintain the quality of its products and, other than is impacted by the
Colorado Springs transition, meet its customer schedules. The Company has
experienced some component shortages or higher than projected costs from time
to time related to the components market generally.

The Company has also identified certain factors which are likely to effect cost
of sales during the remainder of 1995. As described above, the Company has
significantly reduced overhead costs with the combination of the Colorado
Springs and Guntersville facilities and will continue to improve and reduce the
overhead component of costs of sales during 1995. The Company believes that its
operating expense control and reorganization of its material purchasing and
control functions will have a positive impact on costs of sales. In the first
half of 1995, the Company experienced favorable purchase prices for materials
in comparison to amounts charged by suppliers from previous periods during
1994. In addition, the Company has made additional overhead reductions and
reorganized the Company's management team.


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

In the event that the revenue base proves too large for the Guntersville
facility or in order to accommodate future growth, the Company intends to
consider the possibility of leasing or acquiring another facility in a location
where a lower level of costs makes it attractive to operate an additional
facility.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, the Company has financed its capital expenditures through the
issuance of debt and equity securities and borrowings under its bank equipment
line of credit. The Company has financed the growth in its inventory and
accounts receivable through bank borrowings and through payment terms provided
by suppliers. During 1994 and the first half of 1995, the Company made
significant progress in reducing its accounts receivable and inventory balances
to more acceptable levels, and used the excess working capital to reduce debt.
The Company reduced total long-term indebtedness (other than convertible debt)
from $21.8 million at July 3, 1994 to $14.0 million at July 2, 1995. Management
of the Company recognizes the strategic importance of generating greater
working capital from operations and is focusing on improving inventory turns,
reducing work in process cycle times and improving asset utilization to measure
the Company's future success in this area.

The Company's net cash flows provided by operating activities were $3.4 million
and $7.2 million in the first six months of 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Principally, the 1995 amount reflects lower levels of accounts payable
outstanding as compared to the first half of 1994.

The Company's net cash flows used in investing activities were $.8 million and
$.5 million in the first half of 1995 and 1994, respectively. These uses
principally relate to additions of machinery and equipment during the first
half of 1995.

The Company's net cash flows used in financing activities were $3.0 million and
$6.7 million in the first half of 1995 and 1994, respectively. These uses are
principally related to payments on bank debt and settlement and restructuring
costs.

In November 1993, the Company completed the refinancing of its existing credit
facilities. As part of the refinancing, the Company obtained a $40.0 million
credit facility from the CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. (CIT). The agreement
with CIT provides for a $34.0 million three (3) year revolving credit facility
and a $6.0 million five (5) year term loan. Amounts which may be borrowed under
the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base test of 85% of
the Company's eligible accounts receivable and 50% of the Company's eligible
inventory. At July 2, 1995, the Company had borrowed $10.2 million under the
revolving credit facility on a total availability of $12.8 million as of July
2, 1995. The agreement also contains various financing covenants which limit
the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, purchase and dispose of
equipment and declare or pay cash dividends. The Company also is required to
maintain certain financial covenants. As of July 2, 1995, the Company failed to
meet the covenants in its credit agreement with The CIT Group. CIT has granted
the Company a waiver for all covenant violations resulting from the Company's
second quarter performance.

Based on the Company's second quarter performance, management currently
believes the Company will not meet the covenants previously contained in the
credit agreement for the remainder of 1995. The CIT Group and the Company have
negotiated and implemented revised covenants as follows:

</TABLE>

Based on the Company's current business plan and the consolidation of the
Colorado Springs and Guntersville facilities resulting in reduced overhead
expenses and the Company's current business plan, management currently believes
the Company will meet the revised covenants. If it does not comply with these
covenants, the Company will be required to seek a waiver or amendment from the
CIT Credit Agreement in order to continue borrowing under such agreement and to
avoid potential acceleration of the indebtedness outstanding.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations and with borrowings
under its credit facility described above should be sufficient for the Company
to meet its obligations during 1995, including debt settlement and trade
creditor obligations. Based on its current assessment of the level of its
business, the


                                       13
<PAGE>   14

Company does not anticipate that it will be required to make significant
capital expenditures in the next twelve to eighteen months.

On January 25, 1995, the Company completed a private negotiated exchange of
$5.3 million of debentures for shares of the Company's common and Series A
preferred stock. This exchange provided the exchanging debenture holders an
aggregate of 2.1 million shares of common stock and .5 million shares of Series
A preferred stock. The Company had no material gain or loss on the transaction.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations and with borrowings
under its credit facility described above will be sufficient for the Company to
meet its obligations during 1995, including debt principal payments and trade
creditor obligations. Based on its current assessment of the level of its
business, the Company does not anticipate that it will be required to make
significant capital expenditures in the next twelve to eighteen months.

EBITDA
The Company's earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") was $3.1 million income and $1.4 million loss for the
first half of 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company presents EBITDA as a
supplement to the discussion of the Company's operating income and cash flow
from operations analysis because the Company believes that certain parties find
it to be a useful tool for measuring the Company's performance and ability to
service debt. EBITDA is not a substitute for GAAP operating and cash flow data.
Management, however, believes that EBITDA does supplement this information for
several reasons. First, EBITDA supplements data regarding the Company's cash
flow because EBITDA is the principal performance covenant in the CIT Credit
Agreement. In addition, the Company also has made significant investments in
capital equipment, primarily through borrowings. Therefore, the Company is
incurring a significant amount of depreciation on this equipment reflected in
its results of operations. As a result, the Company believes that information
with respect to EBITDA should be read in conjunction with the discussion of
results of operations and the discussion of liquidity and capital resources.

Gentlemen:

We refer to the Financing Agreement between us dated November 22, 1993 as
amended (the "Financing Agreement").  Capitalized terms used herein and defined
in the Financing Agreement shall have the same meanings as specified therein
unless otherwise specifically defined herein.

You have advised us that you are in violation of the financial covenants set
forth in Section 7, Paragraphs 9 (EBITDA), 12 (Working Capital), 13 (Interest
Coverage Ratio) and 16 (Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) of the Financing Agreement
for the fiscal period ending June 30, 1995.

This letter is to confirm our agreement that, solely with respect to said
fiscal period the foregoing violations and/or breaches of the Financing
Agreement shall not be deemed to be Defaults and/or Events of Default under the
Financing Agreement. On and after the date hereof you shall be in compliance
with all of the terms and provisions of the Financing Agreement (including,
without limitation, the financial covenants referred to above).

In consideration of (i) our execution of this Waiver Letter you agree to pay us
an Accommodation Fee of $7,500.00 and (ii) the preparation of this agreement by
our in-house legal department you agree to pay to us a Documentation Fee of
$195.00. Such fees shall be due and payable in full on the date hereof and may,
at our option, be charged to your Revolving Loan Account on the due date
thereof.

Except to the extent set forth herein, no other waiver of, or change in any of
the terms, provisions or conditions of the Financing Agreement is intended or
implied. This agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other existing
Defaults or Events of Default under the Financing Agreement (whether or not we 
have knowledge thereof), and shall not constitute a waiver of any future 
Defaults or Events of Default whatsoever.
