(4) Plan of Reorganization
On February 15, 1996, Star Bank demanded payment in full of the
Company's credit facility by February 20, 1996 as a result of certain loan
provision defaults which had not been cured. On February 23, 1996, the Court of
Common Pleas, Cuyahoga County, Ohio granted Star Bank an emergency order
appointing a receiver to collect and remit to Star Bank all collections on
accounts receivable of the Company. In response, on February 26, 1996 Tri-Lite,
Inc. (Tri-Lite) filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California.
Additionally, Self Powered Lighting, Inc. (SPL) filed a voluntary petition under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court,
Central District of California on March 22, 1996.
Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Company in existence prior
to the filing of the petitions for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws are
stayed while the Company continues business operations as debtor-in-possession.
These claims are reflected in the balance sheet as "Liabilities Subject to
Compromise". Claims against the Company's assets which are secured are also
stayed, although the holders of such claims have the right to move the court for
relief from the stay.
On January 16, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Tri-Lite Plan of
Reorganization with Helionetics, Inc. (Helionetics) and Susan Barnes as
co-proponents of the plan. In April 1997, Helionetics also filed a voluntary
petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California. As a result, the Company's
reorganization plan was combined with Helionetics own plan of reorganization. On
December 23, 1998, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the Helionetics, Inc.
Chapter 11 Liquidating Plan. Provisions of the Combined Plan included the
following:
o The Company will issue 82.5% to Susan Barnes as a co-proponent
and in exchange for her agreement to forgo any claims on her
approximately $4.3 million claim against Helionetics. The
Company will also issue 5% of its new common stock to the
Helionetics Committee of Unsecured Creditors with
anti-dilution provision.
o The Company's unsecured creditors will receive up to 47% of
their allowed claims in cash. The pay-out is subject to the
final determination of the Helionetics own plan of
reorganization.
o The Company will issue 12.5% of its new common stock to its
existing shareholders.
o Helionetics will cancel and release its claims against the
Company for $1,800,00 note receivable secured by all assets of
the Company.
o The Company will issue a senior secured promissory note of
$800,000 in favor of the Helionetics Committee of Unsecured
Creditors and a junior secured promissory note of $500,000 inn
favor of Ms. Susan Barnes. Both notes are subordinated to any
new financing that might be required by the Company.
o Helionetics contributed to the Company its 87.5% interest in
AIM Energy, Inc.

(5) Income Taxes
No provision for federal and state income taxes was provided for the
period as a result of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards for federal
and state income tax purposes.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which
requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial
statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the difference are expected to reverse.

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital were improved in 1998 from a deficit of approximately
$1,231,800 to a deficit of $955,600. Receivables and inventories increased by
$213,500 whereas current liabilities decreased by $68,100. A new receivable
based credit facility was obtained in June 1998 with significant reduction in
the cost of borrowing under the credit facility. Interest rate under the new
credit facility is 6 over prime, almost half the previous rate. Additionally,
AIM received $300,000 from Shindengen Corporation (Shindengen), a Japanese power
supply company, relating to the sale of the right to manufacture and sale its
AIM products in Japan and Asia. Additionally, the agreement called for delivery
of fifty (50) AIM units to Shindengen . The Company is also to receive a 4%
royalty on sales of AIM products by Shindegen. AIM continue to require advance
deposits from certain of its customers to assist in its liquidity needs.
Additional working capital is required, moreover, to fund the increased backlog
in both SPL and AIM. Additionally AIM will require $250,000 of engineering to
reduce cost of its existing AIM products.
The Company will require additional working capital to expand its
business. Sources of funds will be from loans from Susan Barnes and possible
sale of the Company's common stock.
Under the terms of the Helionetics settlement agreement, the
installment payments to the SPL unsecured creditors was moved up such that the
first payment of approximately $114,000 is now due in August 1999.
Year 2000 Issues
As described more fully in the Company's Form 10-K, the Company does
not have a major year 2000 problems due to the nature of its products. The
Company would require, however, approximately $30,000 to update its hardware and
management system software to comply with the year 2000 issues. While the
Company believes that it does not foresee any problems with its suppliers and
customers, it cannot provide assurance that such will be the case.
Results of Operations
Revenues for the six months and three months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 were $2,501,000 and $1,306,000 and $3,007,000 and $1,418,000, respectively.
The net decrease in revenues in the six months of 1998 of $506,000 was the
result of the discontinuance of the lighting fixtures division which in the six
months of 1997 included approximately $1,162,000 of revenues. The decrease in
the lighting fixtures division revenues was offset by SPL's revenue increase of
approximately $79,000 and AIM's net contribution of approximately $605,000 which
included proceeds from the sale of the licensing right of $270,000 and shipment
of AIM's products of approximately $200,000 pursuant to the agreement reached
with Shindengen.
The decrease of approximately $112,000 in revenues for the three
months ended June 1998 compared with the same period in 1997 was the result of
the combined net increase in SPL and AIM revenues of approximately $350,000
offset by the revenues in 1997 (none in 1998) of approximately $480,000 by the
discontinued lighting fixtures division.
Cost of sales, as a percent of sales were 45% and 50% for the six and
three months of 1998 compared with 58% and 51% in the same period in 1997. The
decrease was attributed primarily to the inclusion of the full six
10
<PAGE>
months of AIM's operations in 1998. AIM was included in 1997 beginning in the
second quarter. Also the revenues recognized from to Shindengen agreement
favorably affected the combined gross margin.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately
$622,000 and $267,800 for the six and three months of 1998. The reduction was
the result of the discontinuance of the lighting fixtures division.
Income in 1997 was favorably impacted by the gain recognized from the
chapter 11 proceedings of $576,200.
