(NOTE C) - RELATED PARTIES:

           The  Company  conducts  business  through  two  wholly-owned  foreign
subsidiaries,  MVR  Products  Pte  Limited  ("MVR"),  which  operates a shipping
warehouse and testing  facility and maintains  office space and  remanufacturing
capability  in  Singapore,  and Unijoh Sdn, Bhd  ("Unijoh"),  which  conducts in
Malaysia remanufacturing operations similar to those conducted by the Company at
its remanufacturing facility in Torrance. These foreign operations are conducted
with quality  control  standards and other  internal  controls  similar to those
currently implemented at the Company's  remanufacturing  facilities in Torrance.
The facilities of MVR and Unijoh are located approximately one hour drive apart.
The  Company  believes  that the  operations  of its  foreign  subsidiaries  are
important because of the lower labor costs experienced by these  subsidiaries in
the same remanufacturing process.

           In April 1997, the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  capital
stock of MVR and Unijoh  from its  shareholders,  Mel Marks,  Richard  Marks and
Vincent Quek (each of whom owned  one-third  of each  acquired  entity),  for an
aggregate  purchase  price to all such selling  shareholders  for both  acquired
entities of 145,455 shares of Common Stock. The  acquisitions  will be accounted
for in a manner  similar to a pooling of  interests.  The shares of Common Stock
constituting  the purchase  price have not been  registered for sale pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933 and are subject to a lock-up  arrangement between the
Company and each such selling shareholder releasing for public resale one-fourth
of such shares on each of the first four anniversaries of the acquisitions.  The
purchase  price and  other  terms of the  acquisitions  were  determined  by the
Special   Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Company   following
negotiations  with  the  selling  shareholders.  In  connection  with,  and as a
condition  to,  the  acquisitions,  the  Special  Committee  received a fairness
opinion from Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin, a specialty investment banking firm.
The financial statements prior to the date of combination have not been restated
as the effect is not material to the Company's  financial  condition and results
of operations.  The combined  assets and combined  liabilities of MVR and Unijoh
aggregated  approximately  $632,000 and $398,000,  respectively,  at the date of
combination.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

            Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $21,784,000,
an increase of  $3,409,000  or 18.6% over the three  months ended June 30, 1996.
The  increase in net sales is  attributable  to the  commencement  of sales to a
large customer of  alternators  for domestic  vehicles,  sales for the period of
this  alternator  were 96,000  units as compared  to 6,000 a year  earlier.  The
expansion of the Company's  product line to include  remanufactured  alternators
and  starters  for  domestic  cars and  light  vehicles  generated  net sales of
approximately  $5,400,000  for the quarter  ended June 30,  1997.  The number of
units  shipped to all  customers  was  approximately  332,000  units  during the
quarter  ended June 30, 1997 as compared to  approximately  271,000 units in the
comparable period a year earlier,  a 22.5% increase.  For the period,  sales for
imported cars were 236,000 units as compared to 265,000 units a year earlier.

            Cost of goods sold over the periods  increased  $2,791,000  or 19.0%
from  $14,713,000  to  $17,504,000.  The increase is primarily  attributable  to
additional costs in connection with increased production. As a percentage of net
sales,  these expenses  increased from 80.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996
to 80.4% for the recent quarter.  This minor increase is primarily  attributable
to continuing  pricing  pressures  that the Company  experienced  through fiscal
1997.  The Company has been largely  successful  in lowering  its  manufacturing
costs in response to these pricing pressures.



                                       9

            Selling  expenses over the periods  increased  $81,000 or 15.0% from
$540,000 to $621,000.  Advertising  expenses  increased $64,000 from $209,000 to
$273,000. The increase was also due to an expansion of the Company's sales force
related  travel  expenses.  As a  percentage  of  net  sales,  selling  expenses
decreased slightly from 2.9% to 2.8%.

            General and  administrative  expenses increased $21,000 or 1.8% from
$1,194,000  for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $1,215,000 for the three
months  ended  June 30,  1997.  As a  percentage  of net sales,  these  expenses
decreased  over the periods from 6.5% to 5.6%,  which reflects the leveraging of
these costs over  Company's  increased net sales.  The increase over the periods
was the  result  of  additional  insurance  costs,  including  as a result of an
increase in directors and officers liability insurance coverage.

            Interest  expense,  net of interest  income of $31,000 for the three
months  ended June 30,  1997,  was  $396,000.  This  represented  an increase of
$185,000 or 87.7% from net  interest  expense of $211,000  for the three  months
ended June 30, 1996.  Interest  expense is comprised  principally of interest of
the Company's  revolving credit  facility,  the borrowings under which increased
significantly  over the periods.  Interest  income is derived  from  investments
principally from the Company's second public offering in November 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

           The Company's recent  operations have been financed  principally from
the net  proceeds of the  Company's  second  public  offering in November  1995,
borrowings under its revolving credit facility and cash flow from operations. As
of June 30, 1997,  the  Company's  working  capital was  $61,187,000,  including
$3,084,000 of cash and cash equivalents.

           Net cash used in operating  activities  during the three months ended
June 30, 1997 was $7,436,000.  The principal use of cash during the three months
related to an increase in inventory of  $10,246,000  and an increase in accounts
receivable  of $657,000  offset by an  increase in accounts  payable and accrued
expenses of  $1,571,000.  The increase in inventory was due in large part to the
addition of inventory during the three-month period of approximately  $9,400,000
in  connection  with  the  Company's   recent  entrance  into  the  business  of
remanufacturing alternators and starters for domestic vehicles,  representing an
aggregate addition of inventory for this business of approximately  $19,500,000.
The  timing of this  inventory  build-up  was  based in part upon the  Company's
belief  that the demand for its  initial  domestic  alternator  product  will be
highest in the summer.

           Net cash  provided by  investing  activities  during the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 was $120,000 and $6,567,000, respectively.
During  June  1997,  the  Company  used  $882,000  of  investments  to fund  its
operations and purchased $762,000 of property, plant and equipment.

           Net cash  provided by financing  activities in the three months ended
June 30, 1997 was $6,861,000.  The net cash provided by financing  activities in
June 1997 was primarily attributable to




                                       10
<PAGE>



an increase in the  Company's  revolving  line of credit as offset  primarily by
payments on a capital lease obligation.

            The  Company  has a credit  agreement  expiring  in August 1998 with
Wells  Fargo  Bank,  National  Association  (the  "Bank")  that  provides  for a
revolving  credit  facility  in an  aggregate  principal  amount  not  exceeding
$25,000,000,  which credit facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of
the assets of the Company.  The credit facility provides for an interest rate on
borrowings  at the lower of the Bank's prime rate less .25% or LIBOR plus 1.65%.
Under the terms of the  credit  facility  and  included  in the  maximum  amount
thereunder,  the Bank will issue letters of credit and banker's  acceptances for
the account of the Company in an aggregate amount not exceeding  $2,500,000.  At
August 7, 1997, the outstanding balance on the credit facility was approximately
$24,873,000.

            The  Company's   accounts   receivable  as  of  June  30,  1997  was
$22,985,000.  This  represents  an increase  of  $657,000 or 2.9% over  accounts
receivable  on March 31,  1997.  In  addition,  there are times when the Company
extends  payment  terms with certain  customers in order to help them finance an
increase in the number of  stockkeeping  units  carried by that customer and for
other  purposes.  The  Company  partially  protects  itself  from  losses due to
uncollectible   accounts   receivable   through  an  insurance  policy  with  an
independent  credit  insurance  company at an annual  premium  of  approximately
$85,000.  The  Company's  policy  generally  has  been to  issue  credit  to new
customers  only after the customers  have been included to some extent under the
coverage of its accounts  receivable  insurance policy. As of June 30, 1997, the
Company's   accounts   receivable   from  its   largest   customer   represented
approximately 49% of all accounts receivable.

            The Company's  inventory as of June 30, 1997 was $52,108,000,  which
represents an increase of  $10,246,000  or 24.5% over  inventory as of March 31,
1997.  This  increase is discussed  above and  primarily  reflects the Company's
anticipated  growth in net sales in connection with domestic  vehicles and, to a
lesser extent,  increased  business from existing customers and the need to have
sufficient  inventory to support shorter lead times for deliveries to customers.
Also, the Company  continues to increase the number of  stockkeeping  units sold
requiring the Company to carry raw materials for this wider variety of parts.
