the results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended June
30, 1997 and 1996, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996.  The results for the period ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending
December 31, 1997.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED STANDARDS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new
statement titled "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128").  The new statement is
effective for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.
FAS 128 replaces the presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per
share with the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Basic
earnings per share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the
issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  Had
this new statement been in effect for the periods presented, the Company would
report basic earnings per share for the three month period ended June 30, 1997
and 1996 of $0.15 and $0.22, respectively, and $0.24 and $0.32 for the six
month period ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Diluted earnings per
share for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 would be $0.11
and $0.14, respectively, and $0.17 and $0.20 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

With the exception of historical facts stated herein, the matters discussed in
this report are "forward looking" statements that involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
projected results.  Such "forward looking" statements include, but are not
necessarily limited to, statements regarding anticipated levels of future
revenues and earnings from operations of the Company.  Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially include, in addition to other factors
identified in this report, a high degree of customer concentration, dependence
on the computer and other electronic equipment industry, competition in the
power supply industry, dependence on the Guadalajara, Mexico facility, and
other risks factors detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") filings including the risk factors set forth in Company's
Registration Statement on Form SB-2, SEC File No. 333-14199.  Readers of this
report are cautioned not to put undue reliance on "forward looking" statements
which are, by their nature, uncertain as reliable indicators of future
performance.  The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to publicly update

<PAGE>6

these "forward looking" statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events, or otherwise.

THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997, COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1996

REVENUES

Revenues increased by 43.1% to $5,023,548 for the three months ended June 30,
1997, from $3,511,273 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  Of this
$1,512,275 increase in sales, one OEM customer accounted for $719,775, or
47.5%.  The largest single OEM customer for the current quarter accounted for
20.1% of total revenues compared to 24.8% for the three months ended June 30, 
1996.  The large OEM accounting for 20.1% of three months ended June 30, 1997
revenues has decreased the number of power supplies it purchased from the 
Company.  Further, this OEM indicated that it will require a higher wattage 
power supply for its new products and that the OEM intends to use a power 
supply manufacturer other than the Company to manufacture such new higher 
wattage power supply.  Management believes that this OEM will cease 
purchasing power supplies from the Company after the third quarter of 1997.
The Company is seeking to design a new higher wattage power supply to satisfy 
the needs of this OEM.  Further, the Company believes that increased sales to 
new and other existing OEM customers will offset the loss in sales to the OEM.
No assurance can be given, however, that even if the Company is able to design a
new higher wattage power supply that satisfies the needs of the OEM, that it 
will purchase such power supply from the Company, or that the Company will be
able to increase sales of power supplies to other OEM's to offset the loss in 
sales.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, revenues increased by 34.6% to
$8,822,702 from $6,553,376 in the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Of this
$2,269,326 increase in sales, one OEM customer accounted for $1,040,092, or
45.8%.  The largest single OEM customer for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
accounted for 15.0% of total revenues compared to 25.6% for the six months ended
June 30, 1996.

GROSS MARGINS

Gross margins were 23.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to
27.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease in gross margins
can primarily be attributed to a significant increase in the sale of one model
to a large OEM customer.  The gross margins on such high volume orders is
typically less than the margins on multiple smaller orders.

Gross margins were 24.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to
24.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The improvement in gross margins
can primarily be attributed to greater capacity utilization and to production
improvements due to larger production runs of the US100 series.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 7.4% of revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 9.4% for the three months ended
June 30, 1996.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were 8.1% of
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 8.8% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, was due to greater
utilization of these resources with modest increases when compared to the 43.1%
and 34.6% increases in revenues.

ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Engineering and product development expenses were 4.2% of revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, and 5.3% for the three months ended June 30,
1996.  Engineering and product development expenses were 4.7% of revenues for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 4.8% for the six months ended
June 30, 1996.  This decrease in expenses, as a percentage of revenues, was due
primarily to greater utilization of these resources.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $8,014 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997, compared to $29,720 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $12,587 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, compared to $52,198 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The
decrease in interest was due to reduced borrowings and greater interest income
from invested proceeds from the Company's initial public offering.

INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES

Income before income taxes increased by $151,913 from $428,462 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, to $580,375 for the three months ended June 30,
1997.  Income before income taxes increased by $383,152 from $637,208 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996, to $1,020,360 for the six months ended June 30,
1997.  This increase can be attributed to increased revenues and gross margin
which more that offset the increases in the Company's operating expenses.

INCOME TAX

Provision for income tax increased from $197,687 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, to $213,543 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, and from
$294,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, to $418,895 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, as a result of the increase in Income Before Income Taxes.

NET INCOME

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997, was $366,832 compared to
$230,775 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of 59%. Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, was $601,465 compared to
$343,208 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of 75.2%.  The
increase in net income was due to increased revenues and gross margins which
more than offset increases in operating expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Through June 30, 1997, the Company funded its operations primarily through
revenues generated from operations, and proceeds from its December 1996 Initial
Public Offering.  On June 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of $778,852 and working capital of $5,314,256.  This compares with cash and
cash equivalents of $2,955,299 and working capital of $4,476,555 at December
31, 1996.  The increase in working capital is primarily due to an increase in
receivables and inventory, offset by an increase in accounts payable and an
increase in deferred income taxes.  Cash used (provided) by operating
activities for the Company totaled $1,035,710 and ($88,774) for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Cash used in investing activities
consisted of expenditures for the purchase of production and testing equipment.
Such expenditures increased to $264,272 during the six months ended June 30,
1997, from $232,571 during the prior year period.  During the six months ended
June 30, 1997, cash used in financing activities included net reduction in
borrowings of $1,197,330 offset by proceeds of $518,128 from the sale of common
stock, warrants, and the exercise of stock options. During the six months ended
June 30, 1997, the Company's line of credit and bank loans were paid in full.
During the six months ended June 30, 1996, cash used in financing activities
included net borrowings from the Company's line of credit of $27,865, net
borrowing on notes and capital leases of $28,046 and proceeds of $4,011 from
the exercise of stock options, offset by deferred offering costs and debenture
repayment of $34,222.
