as more fully described in Item 4 below,  pursuant to a plan of the Company (the

Corporation  ("IBM  Credit"),   and  The  Unofficial  Creditors  Committee  (the

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

         The Company has informed the Holders  that, as of June 30, 1996, it had
a negative net worth, was delinquent in its accounts  payable,  and that several
vendors had initiated legal action to collect allegedly  delinquent accounts and
at least two  vendors  had orally  threatened  the Company  with  initiation  of
insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings. The Company has informed the Holders that,
as a result, the Company established the Committee,  which is comprised of eight
of the  Company's  larger  unsecured  creditors,  in an  effort to  resolve  its
delinquent accounts payable, capital deficiency,  and creditor litigation issues
outside  of  insolvency  or  bankruptcy  proceedings.  SCI  is a  member  of the
Committee.  The Company has informed the Holders that the Company, the Committee
and IBM Credit agreed to the Plan,  pursuant to which,  among other things,  (i)
IBM Credit  received the Series A Preferred  Stock in satisfaction of $3 million
of the Company's  approximately $26.4 million secured indebtedness to IBM Credit
and in  consideration of the  restructuring  of its loan with the Company,  plus
warrants to purchase  600,000  shares of Common  Stock,  and (ii) the  Company's
unsecured  creditors  received  either shares of Common Stock or, in the case of
certain creditors, a discounted cash payment, in satisfaction of certain claims.
The  Company has  informed  the Holders  that,  pursuant to the Plan,  unsecured
creditors received  36,294,198 shares of Common Stock, or 60% of the outstanding
Common  Stock after  consummation  of the Plan.  The Company  has  informed  the
Holders that an increase in the authorized  number of shares of Common Stock was
necessary  to  implement  the Plan,  and that the Company  obtained  shareholder
approval for such increase at a special  meeting of  shareholders  on August 27,
1996.  SCI received the Shares upon  consummation  of the Plan on September  12,
1996 pursuant to a Subscription  Agreement,  dated August 27, 1996,  between SCI
Systems,  Inc. and the Company  (the  "Subscription  Agreement").  A copy of the
Subscription  Agreement is attached as Exhibit 4 hereto,  and the description of
the Subscription  Agreement set forth herein is hereby qualified in its entirety
by reference thereto.

         The Company  has  informed  the Holders  that a portion of the Series A
Preferred Stock is automatically  convertible into shares of Common Stock at any
time which is 90 days after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as
defined in Item 6 herein),  if (i) the  Registration  Statement is in effect and
the use of the prospectus  contained  therein has not then been  suspended,  and
(ii) if the  trading  price of the  Common  Stock  exceeds,  for a period  of 15
consecutive  trading days, a price per share equal to $0.815 and a  registration
statement  with respect to the Common Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of such
securities  is in  effect.  The  Company  has  informed  the  Holders  that  the
Registration Statement covers the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and
was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12,
1996.

         The  Company has  informed  the Holders  that the  unsecured  creditors
received rights to receive an aggregate of 11,046,060  additional  shares of the
Common Stock in the event that the Series A Preferred  Stock is  converted  into
Common  Stock so that the  number of shares of  Common  Stock  received  by such
unsecured  creditors  continues to represent 60% of the outstanding Common Stock
after such conversion.  SCI received the Rights upon consummation of the Plan on
September 12, 1996.

         Each of the  Holders so holds its direct or indirect  interest,  as the
case may be, in the Shares and the Rights for investment purposes.

         As more fully discussed in Item 6 herein,  the Holders  disposed of (i)
1,500,000  of the Shares on November  19,  1996,  (ii)  700,000 of the Shares on
November  20,  1996,  (iii)  200,000 of the Shares on November  21,  1996,  (iv)
100,000  of the  Shares on  November  22,  1996,  (v)  100,000  of the Shares on
November 27, 1996, (vi) 100,000 of the Shares on December 3, 1996, (vii) 100,000

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of Issuer

         As more fully  discussed in Item 4 herein,  at the close of business on
December 27, 1996,  each of the Holders  beneficially  owned the same  5,409,200
shares of the Common Stock, which represents  approximately 9.93% of the shares
of the Common Stock  outstanding on such date, and  beneficially  owned the same
rights to  receive  an  additional  2,958,017  shares of Common  Stock  upon the
conversion  of the  Series A  Preferred  Stock into  Common  Stock as more fully
described in Item 4 above. As more fully discussed in Item 4 herein, the Holders
share  power to vote,  and to direct the voting of, and shares  power to dispose
of, and to direct the disposition of, the Shares and the Rights.

         The Company  has  informed  the Holders  that a portion of the Series A
Preferred Stock is automatically  convertible into shares of Common Stock at any
time which is 90 days after the effective date of the Registration Statement, if
(i) the  Registration  Statement  is in  effect  and  the use of the  prospectus
contained therein has not then been suspended,  and (ii) if the trading price of
the Common Stock exceeds,  for a period of 15 consecutive  trading days, a price
per share  equal to $0.815  and a  registration  statement  with  respect to the
Common Stock  issuable  upon  conversion of such  securities  is in effect.  The
Company has  informed  the Holders that the  Registration  Statement  covers the
Common Stock  issuable upon such  conversion  and was declared  effective by the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  on  November  12,  1996.  The Company has
informed the Holders that the unsecured  creditors received rights to receive an
aggregate of 11,046,060  additional shares of the Common Stock in the event that
the Series A Preferred  Stock is converted  into Common Stock so that the number
of shares of Common  Stock  received by such  unsecured  creditors  continues to
represent  60% of the  outstanding  Common  Stock  after  such  conversion.  SCI
received  the  Rights  upon  consummation  of the Plan on  September  12,  1996.
Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission,  therefore, the
Holders will also be deemed to be the beneficial  owners of the Rights Shares at
any time after  December  12,  1996 when the trading  price of the Common  Stock
exceeds, for a period of 15 consecutive trading days, a price per share equal to
$0.815 if the  Registration  Statement or another  registration  statement  with
respect to the Common Stock issuable upon  conversion of such securities is then
in effect.  Were such event to occur on the date hereof, the Holders would share
voting and disposition power with respect to the Rights Shares.


         During the last five years,  none of the Holders have been convicted in
a  criminal  proceeding,  nor  has it been a party  to a civil  proceeding  of a
judicial or  administrative  body of competent  jurisdiction  and as a result of
such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal
or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

         SCI and SCI Technology  sold (i) 1,500,000 of the Shares for a price of
$0.4375 per share on November 19,  1996,  (ii) 500,000 of the Shares for a price
of $0.53125 per share on November 20,  1996,  (iii)  200,000 of the Shares for a
price of $0.6875 per share on November 20, 1996,  (iv) 200,000 of the Shares for

a price of $0.8125 per share on November  22,  1996,  (vi) 100,000 of the Shares

December 23, 1996, (xvi) 100,000 of the Shares for a price of $0.50 per share on
December 26, 1996, and (xvii) 125,000 of the Shares for a price of $0.50 per
share on December 27, 1996, in each case to a market  maker for the Common 
Stock on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market and in response to market conditions and
prices for the Common Stock. The Holders  intend to dispose of the remainder of
the Shares,  and may consider disposing of the Rights, and when issued, the 
Rights Shares,  when lawful at any time and from time to time,  depending  upon
market  conditions  and  prevailing prices for the Common  Stock.  Except as set
forth  above,  none of the  Holders beneficially owns any shares of the Common
Stock or has effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the sixty days
