  Note 2--Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions
  
         On September 30, 1997, the Company acquired three affiliated
  companies, Circuit Test, Inc., Airhub Service Group L.C. and CTI
  International, L.C. (the CTI Companies) for approximately $29.3 million
  consisting of 1,858,975 shares of the Company's common Stock and
  approximately $20.5 million in cash which includes approximately $1
  million of transaction costs.  In addition, the Company will make a $6
  million contingent payment payable upon closing of a public offering of
  securities.  The Company recorded goodwill of approximately $32.4
  million, which will be amortized over 30 years.  The acquisition was
  accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business
  combinations and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial
  statements include the results of operations of the acquired businesses
  since the date of acquisition.
  
         In August and September 1997, the Company completed the initial
  elements of two transactions with AlliedSignal Inc. (AlliedSignal)
  pursuant to which the Company acquired certain inventory and equipment
  located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, subleased the facility where such
  inventory and equipment was located and employed certain persons formerly
  employed by AlliedSignal at that location.  The Company also hired
  certain persons formerly employed by AlliedSignal in Arizona and agreed
  with AlliedSignal to provide the personnel and management services
  necessary to operate a related facility on behalf of AlliedSignal on a
  temporary basis.  Subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of the
  Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the Company will
  acquire AlliedSignal's inventory and equipment located at the Arizona
  facility.  The aggregate purchase price of all the assets to be acquired
  by the Company from AlliedSignal is expected to approximated $15.0
  million, of which $10.9 million had been paid through September 30, 1997. 
  The Company has also agreed to pay AlliedSignal one percent of gross
  revenue for all electronic assemblies and parts made for customers other
  than AlliedSignal at the Arizona or Florida facilities through December
  31, 2006.
  
         On February 24, 1997, the Company acquired two affiliated
  entities, Current Electronics, Inc., an Oregon Corporation, and Current
  Electronics (Washington), Inc., a Washington Corporation (the CE
  Companies), for total consideration of approximately $10.9 million,
  consisting of 1,980,000 shares of Company common stock and approximately
  $5.5 million in cash which included approximately $600,000 of transaction
  costs.  The Company recorded goodwill of approximately $8.0 million in
  connection with the acquisition, which is being amortized over 30 years. 
  The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
  for business combinations and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated
  financial statements include the results of operations of the acquired
  businesses since the date of acquisition.  
  
         The following unaudited pro forma information assumes that the
  acquisitions of the CTI Companies and the CE Companies had occurred on
  January 1, 1996 (in thousands):

  <PAGE>
                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS      
           OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
         THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
  
  
         This information set forth below contains "forward looking
  statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws and other
  statements of expectations, beliefs, plans, and similar expressions
  concerning matters that are not historical facts.  These statements are
  subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
  differ materially from those expressed in the statements.
  
  
  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  
        Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months
  Ended September 30, 1996.
  
         Net sales.  Net sales are net of discounts and are recognized upon
  shipment to a customer.  The Company's net sales increased by 107.4% to
  28.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1997, from $13.6 million
  during the same period in fiscal 1996.  The increase in net sales is due
  primarily to the inclusion of the operations from Current Electronics,
  Inc. (CE Companies), acquired on February 24, 1997, and the inclusion of
  the operations of the Company's Fort Lauderdale facility, acquired from
  AlliedSignal on August 11, 1997.
  
         Gross profit.  Gross profit equals net sales less cost of goods
  sold (such as salaries, leasing costs, and depreciation charges related
  to production operations); and non-direct, variable manufacturing costs
  (such as supplies and employee benefits).  Gross profit increased by
  640.0% to $3.7 million for the third quarter of 1997, from $0.5 million
  during the third quarter of 1996.  The gross profit margin for the three
  months ended September 30, 1997 was 13.3% compared to 3.9% for the same
  period in 1996.  The increase in gross profit percentage is related to
  the operations of the CE Companies, which have historically had a higher
  gross profit percentage.  In addition, as revenues have increased, fixed
  overhead costs such as labor costs and depreciation have been absorbed in
  cost of goods resulting in higher margins.  Finally, the Company incurred
  a restructuring charge in cost of goods sold of $0.5 million in the third
  quarter of fiscal 1996, primarily related to severance pay and write-off
  of inventory associated with the restructuring of the Company's customer
  base, which accentuated the difference in gross profit between the three
  months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in fiscal
  1996.
  
         Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general
  and administrative ("SGA") expenses increased by 23.5% to $2.1 million
  for the third quarter of 1997 compared to $1.7 million for the same
  period in 1996.  As a percentage of net sales, SGA expense decreased to
  7.6% in the third quarter of 1997 from 12.8% in the third quarter of
  1996.  The Company incurred a restructuring charge of $0.9 million in the
  third quarter of 1996, primarily from severance pay for terminated
  employees at the Rocky Mountain facility.  Without the restructuring
  charge, SGA expense for the third quarter of 1996 would have been 6.2% of
  net sales.  The increase in SGA expense is due to the inclusion of the CE
  Companies' SGA expenses, SGA expenses related to the Company's Fort
  Lauderdale, Florida facility, and increased investment in information
  technology and marketing.
  
         Impairment of fixed assets.  During the third quarter of 1996, the
  Company incurred a write down associated with impaired assets in the
  amount of $725,869.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
  "Accounting for impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets
  to be disposed of", requires that long-lived assets and certain
  identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
  impairment whenever events of changes in circumstances indicate that the
  carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Long-lived assets
  and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of should be reported
  at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  The
  Company went through a corporate restructuring in the third quarter of
  1996 which included a workforce reduction and the implementation of APM
  which resulted in certain assets no longer being used in operations. 
  Certain software that will no longer be used, as well as equipment that
  was sold, were written down to fair value in accordance with Statement
  No. 121.
  
         Operating Income.  Operating income increased to $1.5 million for
  the third quarter of 1997 from a loss of $1.9 million for the third
  quarter of 1996.  Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased
  to 5.4% in the third quarter of 1997 from negative 14.2% in the same
  period of 1996.  The increase in operating income is attributable to the
  CE Merger, increased efficiencies associated with APM, and the
  acquisition and operation of the Fort Lauderdale, Florida facility.  The
  Company also incurred a restructuring charge of $2.1 million in the third
  quarter of 1996.  Without this restructuring charge the 1996 operating
  loss would have been $0.2 million and operating profit margin would have
  been approximately negative 1.5%.
  
         Interest expense.  Interest expense was $517,305 for the third
  quarter of 1997 as compared to $141,898 for the same period in 1996.  The
  increase in interest is primarily the result of the incurrence of debt
  associated with the CE Merger and the AlliedSignal Asset Purchase in
  Arizona and Florida, and increased operating debt used to finance both
  inventories and receivables for the Company in the third quarter of
  fiscal 1997.
  
         Gain (loss) on disposition of assets.  The gain on the disposition
  of assets of $1.2 million in the third quarter 1997 compared to a loss of
  $12,722 in the same period 1996 is primarily due to the sale of one
  facility in the Rocky Mountains for $2.4 million.  The remaining facility
  will be expanded to allow all operations in the Rocky Mountain facility
  to be under one roof.  The expansion should be completed by the end of
  the first quarter of 1998.
  
         Income tax expense.  The effective income tax rate for the third
  quarter of fiscal 1997 was 36.4% compared to 34.6% for the same period a
  year earlier.  This percentage can fluctuate because relatively small
  dollar amounts tend to move the rate significantly as estimates change. 
  The Company expects that the rate will be higher in the upcoming
  quarters.  This higher anticipated effective rate is due to the impact of
  the non-deductible goodwill component of the CTI Merger and CE Merger.
  
                                           
          Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Nine Months
  Ended September 30, 1996.
  
          Net sales.  The Company's net sales increased by 45.8% to $65.0
  million during the first nine months of 1997, from $44.6 million for the
  nine months of 1996.  The increase in net sales is due primarily to the
  inclusion of the operations from the CE Companies, acquired on February
  24, 1997, the inclusion of the operations of the Company's Fort
  Lauderdale facility, acquired from AlliedSignal on August 11, 1997, and
  increased orders from existing customers.
  
         Gross profit.  Gross profit increased by 333.3% to $8.2 million
  during the first nine months of 1997, from $1.9 million during the first
  nine months of 1996.  The gross profit margin for the first nine months
  of 1997 was 12.7% compared to 4.3% for the first nine months of 1996. 
  The increase in gross profit percentage is related to (i) the operations
  of the CE Companies, which have historically had a higher gross profit
  percentage and (ii) the adoption of APM in the later part of 1996 in the
  Rocky Mountain facility which has resulted in greater operating
  efficiencies.  In addition, as revenues have increased, fixed overhead
  costs such as labor costs and depreciation have been absorbed in cost of
  goods resulting in higher margins.  Finally, the Company incurred a
  restructuring charge in cost of goods of $0.5 million in the third
  quarter of fiscal 1996, primarily related to severance pay and the 
  write-off of inventory associated with the restructuring of the Company's
  customer base, which accentuated the difference in gross profit between
  the first nine months of 1996 and 1997.
  
         Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general
  and administrative ("SGA") expenses increased by 50.6% to $5.1 million
  for the first nine months of 1997 compared with $3.4 million for the same
  period for the first nine months of 1996.  As a percentage of net sales,
  SGA expenses increased to 7.9% in the first nine months of 1997 from 7.7%
  in the same period of 1996.  The Company incurred a restructuring charge
  of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 1996, primarily from severance
  pay for terminated employees at the Rocky Mountain facility.  Without the
  restructuring charge, SGA expense for the first nine months of 1996 would
  have been 5.6% of sales.  The increase in SGA expenses is primarily due
  to the inclusion of the CE Companies' SGA expenses, SGA expenses related
  to the Company's Fort Lauderdale, Florida facility, and increased
  investment in information technology and marketing.
  
         Impairment of fixed assets.  During the third quarter of 1996, the
  Company incurred a write down associated with impaired assets in the
  amount of $725,869.  See "Three Months Ended 1997 Compared to 1996,
  Impairment of Fixed Assets."
  
         Operating Income.  Operating income increased to $3.0 million for
  the first nine months of 1997 from a loss of $2.2 million for the first
  nine months of 1996.  Operating income as a percentage of net sales
  increased to 4.5% in the first nine months of 1997 from negative 5.0% in
  the same period of 1996.  The increase in operating income is
  attributable to the CE Merger, increased efficiencies associated with
  APM, and the acquisition and operation of the Fort Lauderdale, Florida
  facility.  Without the $2.1 million write down in the third quarter of
  1996, the nine months 1996 operating loss would have been $0.1 million,
  and the operating profit margin would have been approximately breakeven.
  
         Interest expense.  Interest expense was $1.1 million for the first
  nine months of 1997 as compared to $0.4 million for the same period in
  1996.  The increase in interest is primarily the result of the incurrence
  of debt associated with the CE Merger and the AlliedSignal Asset Purchase
  in Arizona and Florida, and increased operating debt used to finance both
  inventories and receivables for the Company in the first nine months of
  fiscal 1997.
  
         Income tax expense.  The effective income tax rate for the first
  nine months of fiscal 1997 was 36.5% compared to 35.4% from the same
  period a year earlier.  This percentage can fluctuate because relatively
  small dollar amounts tend to move the rate significantly as estimates
  change.  The Company expects that the rate will be higher in the upcoming
  quarters.  This higher anticipated effective tax rate is due to the
  impact of the nondeductible goodwill component of the CTI Merger and CE
  Merger.
  
  
  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
  
         At September 30, 1997, working capital totaled $411,296 compared
  to $8.5 million at December 31, 1996.  The decrease in working capital in
  the first nine months of 1997 is attributable to the increased borrowings
  under the Company's line of credit associated with the CTI Merger.
  
         Cash used in operations for the first nine months of 1997 was
  $12.3 million compared to $0.5 million in the same period last year.  The
  AlliedSignal Asset Purchase in Florida and Arizona and the CTI Merger
  resulted in a significant use of funds, particularly in the purchase of
  inventory and equipment in the third quarter of 1997. Accounts receivable
  increased 434.9% to $18.3 million at September 30, 1997 from $3.4 million
  at September 30, 1996. A comparison of receivable turns (i.e., annualized
  sales divided by current accounts receivable) for the first nine months
  of 1997 and the first nine months of 1996 is 4.7 and 17.4 turns,
  respectively.  The 1997 receivable turn is distorted because the sales
  for the first quarter of 1997 includes only one month and four days of
  the CE Companies' revenues.  The balance sheet of the Company as of
  September 30, 1997, includes the consolidation of the CTI Companies and
  the AlliedSignal Asset Purchase, but there has been no corresponding
  revenue recognition from the CTI Merger and only one month and 20 days of
  the revenues from the operations in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Tucson,
  Arizona. Inventories increased 258.1% to $32.8 million at September 30,
  1997 from $10.1 million at September 30, 1996.  A comparison of inventory
  turns (i.e., annualized cost of sales divided by current inventory) for
  the first nine months of fiscal 1997 and 1996 shows a decrease to 2.3
  from 5.6, respectively.  The 1997 inventory turns are distorted because
  the cost of sales for the first quarter includes only one month and four
  days of the CE Companies' costs.  Also the 1997 third quarter ending
  balance sheet includes the consolidation of the CTI Companies and the
  AlliedSignal Asset Purchase, but there has been no corresponding revenue
  recognition from the CTI Companies and only one month and 20 days of
  costs of running the Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Tucson, Arizona
  operations. Inventory increases in the early stages of new turnkey
  business may create delays and decrease the turning of inventory until
  the new assemblies are in full production.
  
         The Company used cash to purchase capital equipment totaling $6.4
  million in the first nine months of 1997, compared with $2.1 million in
  the same period last year.  The Company also used cash to purchase the CE
  Companies and CTI Companies, as explained earlier, in the amount of $24.6
  million.  Proceeds from long-term borrowings of $35.0 million were used
  to help fund the purchase of the CE Companies and CTI Companies.
  
         In connection with the CTI Merger and the AlliedSignal Asset
  Purchase, the Company entered into the Bank One Loan comprised of a $25
  million revolving line of credit, maturing on September 30, 2000 and a
  $20 million term loan maturing on September 30, 2002.  The proceeds of
  the Bank One Loan were used for (i) funding the CTI Merger and (ii)
  repayment of the then-existing Bank One line of credit, bridge facility
  and equipment loan.  The Bank One Loan bears interest at a rate based on
  either the LIBOR or Bank One prime rate plus applicable margins ranging
  from 3.25% to 0.50% for the term facility and 2.75% to 0.00% for the
  revolving facility.  Borrowings on the revolving facility are subject to
  limitation based on the value of the available collateral.  The Bank One
  Loan is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets,
  including real estate and all of the outstanding capital stock and
  memberships of the Company's subsidiaries, whether now owned or later
  acquired.  The agreement for the Bank One Loan contains covenants
  restricting liens, capital expenditures, investments, borrowings, payment
  of dividends, mergers and acquisitions and sale of assets.  In addition,
  the loan agreement contains financial covenants restricting maximum
  annual capital expenditures, recapturing excess cash flow and requiring
  maintenance of the following ratios:  (i) maximum senior debt to EBITDA
  (as defined in the agreement for the Bank One Loan); (ii) maximum total
  debt to EBITDA; (iii) minimum fixed charge coverage; (iv) minimum EBITDA
  to interest; and (v) minimum tangible net worth requirement with periodic
  step-up.  As of September 30, 1997, the borrowing availability under the
  Bank One Loan was approximately $2.5 million.
  
         In addition to the Bank One Loan, the Company has issued the
  Subordinated Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $15 million, with
  a maturity date of December 31, 2002 and bearing a rate of the London
  Inter-Bank Offered Rate, adjusted monthly ("LIBOR"), plus 2.00% in order
  to fund the AlliedSignal Asset Purchase.  The Subordinated Notes are
  payable in four annual installments of $50,000 and one final payment of
  $14.8 million at maturity, but may be prepaid in whole or in part at the
  option of the Company at any time.  All payments and prepayments in
  respect of the Subordinated Notes are fully subordinated to all payments
  in respect of the Bank One Loan.  The Subordinated Notes are accompanied
  by warrants for 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an
  exercise price of $8.00 (the "Warrants").  The Warrants were exercised on
  October 9, 1997.  The holder of the Subordinated Notes is Richard L.
  Monfort, a director of the Company.  See "Certain Relationships and
  Related Transactions."
  
         The Company has begun construction of new manufacturing facility
  in Oregon to replace its present facility located in Oregon at an
  approximate cost of $5.8 million.  The Company will fund this from
  operational cash flow and, to the extent necessary, available lines of
  credit.
  
         The Company may require additional capital to finance enhancements
  to, or expansions of, its manufacturing capacity in accordance with its
  business strategy.  Management believes that the need for working capital
  will continue to grow at a rate generally consistent with the growth of
  the Company's operations.  The Company may seek additional funds, from
  time to time, through public or private debt or equity offerings, bank
  borrowing or leasing arrangements; however, no assurance can be given
  that financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
  
         New Accounting Standard.  In February 1997, the Financial
  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128. "Earnings Per
  Share." ("SFAS 128") which revised the calculation and presentation
  provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 15 and related
  interpretations.  SFAS 128 is effective for the Company's fiscal year
  ending December 31, 1997 and retroactive application is required.  The
  Company believes the adoption of SFAS 128 will not have a material effect
  on its determination of earnings per share.
  
  
  
  QUARTERLY RESULTS
  
         Although management does not believe that the Company's business
  is affected by seasonal factors, the Company's sales and earnings may
  vary from quarter to quarter, depending primarily upon the timing of
  customer orders and product mix.  Therefore, the Company's operating
  results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of the results
  for any future quarter of the year.
