                      ==========     ==========      ==========      ==========


In August 1999, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement with SMTU's lender
to guaranty the obligation of SMTU under its revolving line of credit to a
maximum of $2,000,000 plus interest and related costs associated with the
enforcement of the guaranty. In connection with the guaranty agreement, one of
the limited partners of SMTU and Vice President of SMTU have each executed a
guaranty to the lender to reimburse the Company for up to $500,000 of payments
made by the Company under its guaranty to the lender in excess of $1,000,000. In
addition, the limited partner has agreed to indemnify the Company for 50% of all
of SMTU's payments to the lender. The limited partner's obligation to the
Company under the indemnity is reduced dollar for dollar to the extent the
limited partner would otherwise be obligated to pay more than $1,000,000 as a
result of his guaranty to the lender.

NOTE D - LIGHTING COMPONENTS

The Company has an equity interest of 12% in Lighting Components L.P. ("Lighting
Components"). The Company has amounts due from Lighting Components of
approximately $1,861,000 at October 31, 2000. In prior periods the Company had
adjusted the carrying value of the Lighting Components assets to net realizable
value leaving approximately $1,065,000 of assets in the accompanying balance
sheet at October 31, 2000. The Company has a security interest in substantially
all of Lighting Components assets.

Lighting Components distributes a variety of electronic and molded plastic
components for use in the sign and lighting industries. Recent Lighting
Components' products have been well received in the market and have attracted
the interest of third parties, which has resulted in negotiations with Lighting
Components for the purchase of its business.

NOTE E - LINE OF CREDIT

In August 1999, the Company entered into a two year credit arrangement which is
comprised of a revolving loan facility and a term loan. The revolving loan
facility is collateralized under a loan and security agreement by substantially
all of the domestically located assets and inventory located in Mexico. The
agreement contains certain financial covenants pertaining to the maintenance of
tangible net worth, pre-tax income and other financial covenants as defined in
the credit agreement. As of October 31, 2000 the Company was in violation of its
pre-tax income and interest coverage ratio covenants. As of the date of this
report the


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

violation of those covenants has not been waived by the bank. The outstanding
loan balance of $19,452,910 has been classified as a short term liability on the
Company's balance sheet. The Company is negotiating with its lender for a one
year extension of the revolving loan facility with revised financial covenants
and a waiver for covenant violations for the period ended October 31, 2000. The
Company believes it will be successful negotiating with its lender.


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

NOTE: To the extent any statements in this quarterly statement may be deemed to
be forward looking, such statements should be evaluated in the context of the
risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company's business, including the
Company's continued dependence on certain significant customers; the continued
market acceptance of products and services offered by the Company and its
customers; the activities of competitors, some of which may have greater
financial or other resources than the Company; the variability of the Company's
operating results; the availability and cost of necessary components; the
continued availability and sufficiency of the Company's credit arrangements;
changes in U.S. or Mexican regulations affecting the Company's business; the
continued stability of the Mexican economic, labor and political conditions and
the ability of the Company to manage its growth and secure financing. These and
other factors which may affect the Company's future business and results of
operations are identified throughout the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
and risk factors contained therein and may be detailed from time to time in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements
speak as of the date of this report and the Company undertakes no obligation to
update such statements in light of future events or otherwise.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Net sales decreased for the three month period ended October 31, 2000 to
$25,120,234 from $27,185,252 for the three month period ended October 31, 1999.
Net sales for the six months ended October 31, 2000 decreased to $42,586,347
from $47,371,188 for the same period in prior year. The decrease in sales is
primarily attributable to a decline in sales to one of the Company's key
customers. The Company remains dependent upon continued sales to a few of its
largest customers. Any material change in orders could have a material impact on
the Company's results of operations. Historically the Company has experienced
significant fluctuation in its revenues and results of operations, and the
Company expects such fluctuations to continue. In the Electronic Manufacturing
Services industry the sales level can be misleading as an indication of the
Company's profitability. Sales levels can fluctuate due to labor only orders
compared to turnkey orders. Turnkey orders require the Company to procure the
necessary components for assembly, which increases the selling price compared to
labor only services. A turnkey order may have a higher selling price but may not
be as profitable as a labor only order.


                                       8

Gross profit decreased during the three month period ended October 31, 2000 to
$1,881,732 or 7.5% of net sales, compared to $3,396,895 or 12.5% of net sales
for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The gross profit for the six
months ended October 31, 2000 decreased to $2,393,517 from $5,462,829. The
decrease in the Company's gross margin reflects a number of factors which can
vary from period to period, including component pricing and shortages,
consignment and turnkey business, price erosion within the industry, the mix of
labor costs and manufacturing efficiencies. The Company's Elk Grove Village
operation completed its conversion from batch processing to continuous flow late
November 2000. The conversion process has negatively impacted the operation's
gross margin for the quarter ended October 31, 2000. The Company believes the
continuous flow manufacturing will have a positive impact on the operation's
gross margins in future quarters. The Company's overall gross margins continue
to be effected by reduced sales volume, which may continue until the cost
structure is aligned with the reduced sales volume, or until sales volumes
increase. The Company has continued to migrate work to Mexico, thereby providing
customers with cost reductions and increasing margins. While the Company's focus
remains on expanding its customer base and expanding gross margins, there can be
no assurance that revenues and gross margins will increase in future quarters.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased to $1,519,301 or 6.0% of net sales
for the three month period ended October 31, 2000 compared to $1,664.853 or 6.1%
of net sales in the same period last year. Selling and administrative expenses
for the six months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 were $2,844,114 and
$3,023,295 respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in
commission expense.

Interest expense for bank debt and capital lease obligations for the three month
period ended October 31, 2000 was $384,927 compared to $412,726 for the same
period in the prior year. Interest expense for bank debt and capital lease
obligations for the six months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 were $697,692 and
$738,099 respectively. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in interest
expense for capital lease obligations.

As a result of the factors described above, net income decreased to $158,770 for
the three month period ended October 31, 2000 compared to net income of $733,104
for the same period in the prior year. Basic and dilutive earnings per share for
the second fiscal quarter of 2001 were $0.06 compared to $0.25 for the same
period in the prior year. For the first six months of fiscal 2001 the Company
incurred a net loss of $419,919 compared to net income of $978,354 for the six
month period ended October 31, 1999. Basic and diluted earnings per share for
the six month period ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 were ($0.15) and $0.34
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

For the six months ended October 31, 2000 the primary source of liquidity was
$4,798,589 of cash provided by borrowings from the Company's secured lender.
Cash flow used in operating activities was $3,660,627 compared to $1,219,959 in
the comparable period in fiscal


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

1999. Cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in
accounts receivables and inventories offset by an increase in accounts payable.

Cash flow used in investing activities totaled $1,101,110 for the six months
ended October 31, 2000 which was used for the purchase of machinery and
equipment.

In August 1999, the Company entered into a two year credit arrangement which is
comprised of a revolving loan facility and a term loan. The revolving loan
facility is collateralized under a loan and security agreement by substantially
all of the domestically located assets and inventory located in Mexico. The
agreement contains certain financial covenants pertaining to the maintenance of
tangible net worth, pre-tax income and other financial covenants as defined in
the credit agreement. At the October 31, 2000 the Company was in violation of
its pre-tax income and interest coverage ratio covenants. As of the date of this
report the violation of those covenants has not been waived by the bank. The
outstanding loan balance of $19,452,910 has been classified as a short term
liability on the Company's balance sheet. The Company is negotiating with its
lender for a one year extension of the revolving loan facility with revise
financial covenants and a waiver for covenant violations for the period ended
October 31, 2000. The Company believes it will be successful negotiating with
its lender.
